Ok... and Rates like for example, 16.00000000000000000 are extreme DropRates?
The last thing that i need to know ^^"

No this is definitely not balanced. The default drops are balanced as they should be and doing what i have done here imbalances it a lot as MF becomes a complete dropfest. This is really just to show how to edit drops and for those people who want the higher maps to drop like crazy as many people don't care about balance at all.

This is only possible using the hardcore channel method as you have to have a different set of files for high, med and low rates.

The method i posted here definitely works for WI as my main char in official (and therefore also my server) is a WI. Check the screenie i posted (though he has a different name in official). The drops are the same for all chars and you can't set drops for just some types of chars.

The thing that people always seem to forget when editing rates is the min and max column. Those columns define what levels the items will drop and if the char is below the min or above the max the item cannot drop.

Hi sir chumpy, I'm quite new to this but this just looks amazing, and I'm highly grateful that you posted this.
However I've got a question though.

Open /etc/cabal/Data/Data_World/world9-terrain.scp and find this section:

how can I do that, I can't find that directory, is there a program I need and do I need some kind of patch for the codes you've posted to work ?

The directory is on centos. You don't need anything extra as all you are doing is editing the existing data.

Centos (Community ENTerprise Operating System) is the version of linux that the cabal server likes best. It is what is in your vmware image running cabal.

ok so as i was telling you noobs that this only works for YOUR SERVER! you will make it work untill you change the server files that you cannot access it if you don`t own the server right.

ps: all offtopic posts will be deleted so please do not comment this.

If the server is set to drop 2 items then all mobs will do so. There is no way of setting some mobs to drop more items than others as far as i know.

maybe a dumb question lol

i've been messing a bit with the file's but i cant seem to figure out how to let crafted (slotted) items drop i've been looking at the code this morning and see that the most off the gear is listed twice
one high drop rate and one low ive changed it arround but drops are still the same

ive setup your mf file and see that there drops crafted items with slot (amp) but cant seem to find how to do it

sure it wil be a simple awnser but at the moment i'm stuck lol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
found it its in the itempool :D i just changed it to 13 it come's out crafted with a slot filled with amp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
thx
