ITEM_DROP/(NEW).STB

Postby osrose_newb on Mon Jan 09, 2012 7:54 pm

Hi All,

According to what I've been able to find by doing a Search, no Official or Pserver updates it's item_drop*.stb files, so that people like us won't be able to discover where stuff drops.

When I open HRose's client ITEM_DROP.STB file, the header shows that the columns are just a long list of drops, each getting rarer as you move through the list. I just don't understand how the % chance for each drop is controlled as it doesn't seem to be in the STB. The LIST_NPC.STB shows a column for drop % and another for zulie %, but that doesn't explain how the server can decide which of the long list to drop.

When I open another client's ITEM_DROP(NEW).STB, as HRose doesn't use that STB, the format is totally different. I understand column 1, but not columns 2 - 4, although they seem to be 3 columns that add up to 100%. Then next 40 or so columns list items and their drop chances out of 100000.

I'm really hoping that there's someone who can explain the structure of both ITEM_DROP.STB & ITEM_DROP(NEW).STB, and their relationship to LIST_NPC.STB. I know osirose (the server I use), doesn't make use of these files, but I still want to understand the mechanics of the original server files. I might then be able to write a tool that can pull HRose's drops from the STBs and create the SQL file that orirose uses.

Thanks in advance! :D

the item_drops STB shouldn't even be there any more. It hasn't been used for over 5 years.
All drops in all servers (official or pserver) are controlled at the server so there's no way to find out what drops from client files.
