ETA on new loot editor
 

I was just wondering if you were working on creating a new loot editor for the recent changes to the database. I'm actually holding off on updating my source code until you make a tool for the new system, and I wanted to know if you have an ETA for when that might be completed.

It started tonight. I just installed the database and am checking functionality.
Then later in the week, I will start to learn the new tables, and start working on the tools.

This is a very large and complicated thing and a new loot class .net has to be created. Then redo the interface for the tools.

I would honestly say 2-4 weeks max

Considering I was expecting months, that's very good news. I'm glad to hear that you're working on it already. Thanks for the quick response too.

GeorgeS, keep in mind that the probability field may come back soon. It does still have some usefulness when populating loot tables manually. Just giving you a heads-up so you don't get anything set in stone and then end up having to add probability back into the mix later.

yeah, keep in mind the reason I posted on page 3 here:

;)

Currently my schema for table loottable_entries has probability. If this is the one you're talking about then yes, I will keep the field in the program.

I have the new lootsystem working and am now writing the code in.

So after a handful of hours, I have a working beta. I will spend the next few days making it bug free, but only release once it's passed my QC. Pretty good progress I might add...

The rev2214 fixed looteditor is done and will be uploaded tonght.

I fixed as many issues and added some cool features. I'm thinking of doing some tutorial vids to assist.

I finished the tool and also created a youtube video of about 30 min in length.
I'll link the vid within the program also show it here.
I will upload the new version mon nite.

Uploaded the tools today. They only work with PEQ-2214+, so don't ask for the backward compat.

Also, youtube tuts are up and are about 30 min each. Pls note I have a heavy accent (ZA), so be gentle on me.

My NPC&LOOT EDITOR for databases rev2214+ is at:

NPC TUT


All loot extractor by ZONE tutorial

ALLA zone loot tool

Also, if you want more tuts, just let me know what you need.
I am planning a spawngoup and spawning npc tut
and a merchant editor tool..
