Phantom Loot Issue
-
Hey all trying to verify a potential crash issue and I’m having the most annoying time trying to get a particular phantom loot entry in lootprops.ini to actually drop. Below is the entry in question:
[PhantomLoot]
nickname = sw_gun_part5
toughness_range = 0, 100
percent_chance = 0.050000
num_to_drop = 1, 1I’ve tried upping the percent_chance to 0.999999, 50.000000, and even 100.000000 (not sure if the decimal represents the percentage, as in 5%, or if it’s 0.05%) with no luck. I’ve tried commenting out the other phantom loot entries with no luck. I’ve even tried stripping lootprops.ini of every entry except that one, with the inevitable result of FLServer crashing on me. Do I just have to sit there and bash NPC’s until I go comatose or is there some way to improve the drop rate that I’m not seeing?

[PhantomLoot]
nickname = sw_gun_part05
toughness_range = 0, 100
percent_chance = 50
num_to_drop = 1, 5That should sort you for your test. Â Be advised, this is for normal npcs spawned. Â Modifying the RMLootInfo.ini will effect loot drops in missions.

I was actually trying to confirm if the typo in the nickname was causing a crash or not which is why I hadn’t corrected the nickname. I kept getting archdb errors in the console which I chalked up to something else but now I suspect were the game’s attempt to drop that item. After I corrected the typo it dropped fine so I guess I have a semi-qualified answer ;D Thanks folks.

A short note and i m not sure about that:
Anything with higher numbers to drop than
num_to_drop = 1, 1
like this
num_to_drop = 1, 5
seemed to cause problems
like cheating when selling those together and possibly double mounting.We had error reports and i just reduced the loot to a maximum of “1”.

…. if you should ever need BUGs, just tell me.

I can get them faster, where no one ever thought of them,
than a good team can hunt and smash 'em.(The missing bugs 2 complete the row were mostly killed by Lancer Solurus error checker )
