No Drop Items

[JesseJames73]

I've got my server up and running perfectly, now I want to be able to set up my friends characters to resemble the ones we had in original eq and i'm not able to find commands on the wikki or forums that will let me do what i'm wanting.

What I'm missing is how to trade an item to a player after I summon it with my GM character. I've searched the #help commands with no luck. Just using #summonitem [idnumber] gives the item to my GM character and he cant trade it, even if I have the other player targetted. I'd actually prefer to make all items in the game tradeable. I figure I can do this through mysql with a UPDATE items SET command, but I cant get the right no drop tag syntax for the command.

spawn a LV 1 mob, #npclootadd # all thje items onto it, have them kill it.

Isn't there a setting in "variables" table for removing NODROP? I haven't tried this yet, but I thought I saw it in there somewhere.

You can also give them GM status and let them summon all the items they need then set them bavck to staus "0" again. Thats what I did for my server and my guildies.

yes there is a way to stip the no-drop flag at server boot up:

if you unset the variable later, items will regain their proper nodrop flag after a reboot.

Obviously I lack at searching the wikki, thanks for the link on how to do it.
