Diablo style loot

[Tabasco]

I think the easiest way to randomly drop from the entire table would be to grab a random id from 0 - item max out of the shared item struct and add it at spawn time.

That might even work on a private server, but in practice the table is full of GM and test items that you don't want dropping on a public server.
In fact, the last time I checked I think it was only around 7500 wearable items that naturally drop. (Based on loottable/lootdrop) Everything else is quested, crafted, or not intended for player consumption.

I think the best way to do this would be to add the loot via quest after the mobs spawning using a default.pl file for each zone using

quest::addloot(item_id, charges = 0, equipitem = true)

Lets say you have 6000 items for npc lv 50-60 with ID 1-6000

In default.pl in

sub EVEN_SPAWN
{
 
my $DropChance = int(rand(99)) + 1;

if ($DropChance == 1)
{
my $Select_Itemid = int(rand(6000))+1;

quest::addloot($Select_Itemid);
}
}

Thats about it chooses a random itemid from 1-6000 and sticks in on there, its much easier to actually add and organize loot via quests then it is tables now a day.
