[Tutorial] Adding and editing drops with AionDropEditor - ( For AL 3.9 )

[Kreeate]

You will need the AionDropEditor ---> AionDropEditor.rar

1) First, you need to find the ID of the mob you want to change.
( for this tutorial, I'm using 210133 from here : Striped Kerub )




2)Once you have the ID you want, extract DropEditor wherever you want, and start it.

3) In DropEditor, click on File in top left, and choose Open

4) Now navigate to where your npc_drop.dat file is. ( it should be in \AL-Game\gameserver\data\static_data ) Select it and click on Open.

5) You should now see this : ( I added column numbers to make it easier to explain )


6) In Column 1 scroll down until you find the ID you want ( 210133 for this tutorial ) then click on it.

After you clicked on the ID this will appear in Column 2




7) Now click on NoCategory
A list of ItemID's will appear in Column 3


ADDING KINAH
So let's do Kinah first. The ItemID for Kinah is 182400001.
Click on 182400001 in Column 3
Now you can change the following :
Min: --> Minimum amount of kinah the mob will drop
Max: --> Maximum amount of kinah the mob will drop
Chance: --> Chance in % that the mob will drop kinah


Change it to whatever you like.

!Important! Make very sure that you have the correct Race selected, then click Save

That's it. Kinah is easy.


ADDING CUSTOM ITEM
Now for adding a custom item. We will use the same mob again.

8) In Column 3, right-click anywhere on a blank space then click on Add and you will see the window below appear. It may take a long time to load :
( hint : you can click on the column names here to sort it )


9) Right-click anywhere in the blank space on the right and choose "Add Drop Item"
A small window will appear. In here you add your ItemID and the rest of the information you want. ( I chose the L190 enchantment stone ;-)


10) Now click on "Save Item"

11) Click on ID to sort the ID column and scroll to the bottom ( this is just to find the new item easily )

12) Now double click on the ItemID ( 166000190 ) and click OK in the little window that pops up.

13) Click on Save

14) Click on File in top left and choose save.

15) Allow it a few seconds to save the file and then close AionDropEditor

16) That's it... all done

The above method can be repeated for any mob or any items


Please feel free to post here if you have any questions or problems.

EDIT : If you get no drops from the mob you changed, then open your npc_drop.dat file again with DropEditor. Go to the mob ID then click the items in Column 2
It will probably show ASMODIANS in the DropGroup.

Change it to ALL and click save
Click all the other categories in Column 2, one by one and make sure that DropGroup is correct.
Click on save after changing each one.

Click File-->Save again and owerwrite your old file. Now try again.

Remember when you save, the whole drop list in there i mean every mob every drop changes to Elyos, after you open save again , it changes to asmodians, after you do it a third time it changes back to all. So everything you change must be saved opened 3 times in order to work.

This is for server, not client.

Thanks guy!it works

And how you make if in version 3.9 & version 4.3 is not same mobs in instances ???

Coz in 4.3 all instances 3.0 ==> 3.9 is not same mobs & boss. Need change all datapack (Quest, Ai, Drop, Spawn...)

So, your droplist 4.3 is wrong, you need remake all drops 3.0-3.9 + 4.3 version.
Hey for you, is impossible delete "NpcId" in your program in list for change by correct NpcId.

So, you must remake all drops since 3.0 ==> 4.3 and create a new program, where you can delete "NpcId" wrong in list and change by real "NpcId" in list.

In short, all emu 4.3 have this bug.

Look why:
In version 3.0 (same in 3.5-3.9):
<npc_client>
<id>219358</id>
<name>ID4BRe_Drakan_CL_60_Ae2</name>
<desc>STR_ID4BRe_Drakan_CL_60_Ae2</desc>
<dir>Monster/DrakanClericF</dir>
<mesh>DrakanClericF</mesh>
<material>mat_mob_orc</material>
<foot_mat>foot_2leg_medium</foot_mat>
<show_dmg_decal>1</show_dmg_decal>
<dmg_decal_texture>Damage_Decal_01</dmg_decal_texture>
<disk_type>D3</disk_type>
<ui_type>monster</ui_type>
<cursor_type>attack</cursor_type>
<fxc_type>DrakanClericF</fxc_type>

In version 4.3:
<npc_client>
<id>219310</id>
<name>ID4BRe_Drakan_CL_60_Ae2</name>
<desc>STR_ID4BRe_Drakan_CL_60_Ae2</desc>
<dir>Monster/DrakanClericF</dir>
<mesh>DrakanClericF</mesh>
<material>mat_mob_orc</material>
<foot_mat>foot_drakan_F_heel</foot_mat>
<show_dmg_decal>1</show_dmg_decal>
<dmg_decal_texture>Damage_Decal_01</dmg_decal_texture>
<disk_type>D3</disk_type>
<ui_type>monster</ui_type>
<cursor_type>attack</cursor_type>
<fxc_type>DrakanClericF</fxc_type>

It would be a question
Dropp reduced down to almost every hundredth percentage rate per thousand
ie 0.009%
and in order to more normal values ​​produced Tsaki on the x with thousands of data should be revised at least 1009
someone tell me how this could be at more simply?
dat file because it is difficult to edit each of thousands of data
xml which used to be until it was simpler
Please help if possible, send someone a solution for this, or an editor with which this can be
Thanks in advance

[Gamerdrill]

Man,

This file "dat" destroyed my dreams.

It was much easier when I was right in the database.

How do I put an item on all mobs?

Can anyone help me?

[kornicska]

We are looking for a solution that does not call it a drop dat file
more npc_drop folder, and inside the xml drop
one solution to this please
dat file editing difficult and nerve-racking
xml go faster and easier, you do not have to suffer with it, and the right to work in

And what stop you from doing it that way ? java objects to xml is one of the easiest stuff every because JAXB almost do all the work for you.

i have a problem, i add an item but when i restart the server when i kill the mob there is no drop, everymob has no drop

[limebrix]

hi! can somebody give me mirror for it.. When i click the link i only see attachment.php being dwnloaded instead of the aioneditor.rar.

[shinru2004]

Sorry to necro and old thread, but it would seem this program has a massive memory leak. anyone have the source code? I would love to look over it and fix the memory leak as well as maybe adding a search function for npc ids and also in the drop list section when adding drops. would make adding drops much easier then scrolling to each id

Symantech sees it as malware

Thanks to posting this, despite the fact it's very old. Works in Aion-Core 4.7. Seems chests from the Eye of Tia were missing relics, so I've been slowly adding them to the chests. Seems to be working properly and thanks to AngelShade for pointing out this bug. Was wondering why drops stopped, well, dropping. This fixed it for me.
