Loot Module Rewrite
Features new version of LootnScooot
I am currently working on rewriting LootNScoot and the loot module to be more robust and allow for more advanced looting options in line with live.
- The items DB will auto-add/update items as you and your party loot them.
- The items table has been changed to include more details about the items.
- Items are now keyed by the item ID:
- Using item ID, we can now handle items where there are more than one with the same name but different stats/flags.
- The DB will also store link information so you can access loot information from the table with a right-click.
- A new rules DB accounts for using item IDs. Unfortunately, this invalidates the old rules table since we never had the ID data.
- **Config Files:**
- Now reside in `mqfolder\config\LootNScoot\ServerName\` to keep things organized.
- Changed the config file format to `.lua` for easier loading and saving.
- **DB Files:**
- Reside in `mqfolder\resources\LootNScoot\ServerName\`.
- Keeps data organized, especially if you play on multiple emulated servers, preventing overwrites.
- Displays information so you can decide on rules for items looted without existing rules in the DB:
- Item name, sell price, stack size, nodrop, lore, augment, tradeskill.
- On the first loot, the decision is based on your settings, with options to change them.
- **Optional Features:**
- A pop-up window showing undecided items for the session.
- A new "Items" tab in the loot window.
- **Additional Functionality:**
- A button with an eye icon opens the inspect window for item stats.
- Look up any item from your DB:
- Shows items you have rules for or previously looked up.
- With a fully exported DB from EQEmulator, over 117k items are available (before custom items).
- **Interactions:**
- Right-clicking an item opens the inspect window.
- Left-clicking an item opens the ModifyItem Rule Window to add a rule for the item.
- **Customizations:**
- Right-clicking table headers allows toggling fields and rearranging their order.
- Drag-and-drop items to add them to the table if missing.
- **Searchable:** Filter by item name or rule type (e.g., Quest, Bank).
- **Right-click Interactions:** Opens the inspect window in-game.
- **Stored Links:** Includes links in case the items DB is deleted or rules DB is copied from another server.
- **Edit Item Button:**
- **Green Button with Pencil:** Indicates the item exists in the main items DB.
- **Red Button with X:** Indicates the item is missing from the Items DB but has a rule.
- Clicking the button opens the ModifyItem Rule Window.
- Import items from your character's inventory/bank with `/rgl importinv`:
- Bank data may not be fresh but refreshes when zoning or at the bank.
- Useful for starting with an empty DB or migrating to a new server.
- **Loot Corpse Once:** Tracks looted corpses to avoid re-looting.
- Unlocks the corpse if a new item rule is changed (e.g., from "Ignore" to another flag).
- **Can Use Only Flag:**
- Loots only items you can use/wear flagged as "KEEP," either via rules or evaluations.
- Ignores "Sell," "Bank," "Quest," etc., flags unless explicitly allowed.
- Helpful with `lootnodrop` and `lootnodropnew` enabled.
- **KeepSpells:** Keeps all spell drops regardless of rules or sell values.
- Actors Settings:
- You can edit any characters settings from the window, clicking save will send them the new settings and they will save them.
- You can clone a characters settings from one char to another. making setting up new groups easier.
- if lootnodrop is enabled you will loot items marked nodrop that you have rules for
- if lootnodropnew is enabled you will also loot new items that are nodrop
- regardless of these settings a new item with no rules that is nodrop will have the rule set to CanUse to prevent the first person deciding its ignore.
