Guide: NPCs Dropping Items
'''Requirements'''
- Text Editor (Such as Notepad++)
- EOServ server
- Endless Online client (to test)
'''Instructions'''
- Go to where you server is located, mine would be: E:\Games\EO Server\
- Go into the folder 'eoserv-0.6.0' and then into 'data' you will find the file 'drops.ini'
- Open 'drops.ini' in your text editor
- If you do not see a few lines of writing then you must have already played around with it, the release already has the instructions there.
- If for some reason you do not have them or understand them here is an example:
7 = 2,1,1,50, 258,1,1,50
To break this down:
7 - This is the NPC ID, you can find this by opening your NPC file in a pub editor. The NPC file is located in 'data\pub\' and is called 'dtn001.enf'. In this instance it is the goat by default.
2,1,1,50, - This means that the goat may drop item ID 2, if it does it will drop between 1 and 1 of them. That's the minimum and maximum and the 50 is the percentage of chance for the drop. The reason 50 is followed by a comma is that another item is going to be dropped. If there is no other item for this NPC then you do not need the additional comma. Item ID 2 is a small health potion by default.
258,1,1,50 - As you can see there is no comma at the end. This is item ID 258, the goat horn by default, it will drop a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 1 50% of the time.
That's it. If you are adding more than 1 NPC which hopefully you are or you'll have a rather boring server, then make sure you add it on a new line! Like this:
7 = 2,1,1,100, 258,1,1,50 8 = 3,1,1,100 10 = 21,1,1,1
Finally, save the text file and you should be good to go.
Test this by spawning a monster on a map and killing it several times. Remember if the % isn't 100 you may not get the drop first time.
