Is there only one single loot table, as indicated above? That is odd.
The way "real eq" does it is it uses 2 loot table. One loot table defines what items are in a loot table (For example, all the coth armor), then another loot table, which is actually attached to the mob, specifies how many items to drop. Thats not realy clear, so let me show you.
Code:
Loot Table
ID=1
Item=Small Cloth Shirt
Loot Table
ID=1
ITem=Small Cloth Oants
...etc...
NPC Drop Table
LootID=1
Basiclly, a loot table defines all the items in a loot table, then the NPC itself has an entry pointing to which loot tables to roll on. In the above case, the npc would drop only 1 item, but that 1 item could be any of the cloth armor specified. If I wanted to drop 2 items, i'd add another lootid entry.
Is this not the way eqemu works? You're above post implies it does not.
Forgive me if this sounds incoherant. I just woke up.
