New loot system

[cavedude]

The Magelo loot/merchant dump will be in the next PEQ database for OoW and after. GoD and before are already pretty good due to manual changes by the PEQ team.

Good stuff! I grabbed the database a while ago from the BETA backend download

After about 1/2 day of testing, players report loot is working 99.9% as before. Really hard to find anything 'not intended' drop rates now.

Thanks eqemu team!

The PEQ DB with Magelo's loot/merchants merged in for OoW to VoA (RoF is not on Magelo yet) is now up on PEQ SVN: https://code.google.com/p/projecteqdb/downloads/list

In addition, since Derision updated EQExtractor to work with the newest patch, Robregen got collects for all the RoF zones. They are in this DB as well. Of course, they cannot be played yet as we don't have a compatible client, but the f2p Steam client is being worked on currently

We are missing factions and the NPCs all need a mass stat update, but realistically there is nothing stopping folks from playing in the newer zones up to what UF supports. There isn't any quests or events of course, but you can certainly run around, kill things, and collect loot now.

Is there a copy of the Magelo to DB script? or could someone upload a sql for zone (moores) all I have for drops is item (Watchtower Remains) for everyone in the zone.

Im at db rev 2294

I'm not sure how that happened, but it's fixed now in PEQ. It'll be in the next version of the DB. If I can easily get a diff, I'll post that. If not, you'll have to wait for the next revision of the DB.

[cavedude]

I attached a diff of the fixed Moors loot. You'll either need your DB to be named PEQ, or do a search/replace for `peq` and replace it with your `database`

Thanks cavedude, yes my db is peq, but I don't have permission to download the zip file.

[cavedude]

I uploaded it to PEQ, it'll also be in the next revision of the DB: http://www.peqtgc.com/moors_loot.zip

Thanks cavedude

Looks to me like you could essentially just not update your loottable.cpp and loottable.h then you just have to worry about the zonedb.h using the old function:
void AddLootDropToNPC(NPC* npc,int32 lootdrop_id, ItemList* itemlist);

If you are not interested in the new solution then this is another option.
