Defiant - Global Loot ?

[GRUMPY]

Was reading this in the PEQ Changelog : (Feb, 2018 ) Silly me, wasn't up to date on this, haha

- Global Loot Tables implemented

- Defiant has been moved to global loot tables now

Found here:

It did mention something in the source code changelog about a global loot system, but I didn't
pay much attention to it at the time.

I did notice, (an empty) global_loot table in DB, as well as skip_global_loot in npc_types table,
which "I think" is supposed to have a value of 0 or 1. Current value for all npc_types is set to 0
Have no idea if this is going to be something easier to work with for loot, but I have to get it
all figured out and how it works. My bucket list is galloping, while I'm trotting :P

Use the editor. Only thing it can't do right now is create the tables, but you can attache the tables to a dummy NPC, make it, then make global_loot entries with the editor and detach the loot table from the dummy NPC. (At least until the editor lets you edit loot tables not attached to NPCs)

skip_global_loot does exactly what you think (the devs stated their global loot system they can flag NPCs to not check global loot, so that's what we do)

Ok, that points us all in the right direction. Thank you very much Sir :)

So im not sure why this field was added in a more recent version (compared to fall of 2017) but when i migrated to a remote host for my server from my desktop this caused an issue, stating this table was unknown " npc_types.skip_global_loot
" so i removed the column and my npc then spawned. When i had this column enabled it would not spawn a single npc in the world, if u need more help feel free to find me on the eqemu discord.
