[Events]Having some problems with making events work

[ryuchao009]

Rather than create a new event, I tried to append the one that was already in Event.lua

AddEvent( "Welcome Event" )
--{
	--no idea wtf this does lol--
	SetTime( "2008-07-23 00:00", "3008-08-06 23:59" )
	
	--Level up gifts--
	SetLevelUpGift( 15, "all", "II_SYS_SYS_SCR_AMPESS", 2 )
	SetLevelUpGift( 60, "all", "II_SYS_SYS_SCR_AMPESS", 3 )
	
	--Rates--
	SetExpFactor( 75 ) --Exp
	SetItemDropRate( 30 ) --Item
	SetPieceItemDropRate( 15 ) --greens
	SetGoldDropFactor( 150 ) --penya
--}

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work and I can't seem to figure out why. Here's my eventFunc.lua

function GetExpFactor()
	local tList = GetEventList()
	local fExpFactor = 75
	for i in pairs(tList) do
		if( tEvent[tList[i]].fExpFactor ~= nil ) then
			fExpFactor = fExpFactor * tEvent[tList[i]].fExpFactor
		end
	end
	
	return fExpFactor
end

function GetItemDropRate()
	local tList = GetEventList()
	local fItemDropRate = 30
	for i in pairs(tList) do
		if( tEvent[tList[i]].fItemDropRate ~= nil ) then
			fItemDropRate = fItemDropRate * tEvent[tList[i]].fItemDropRate
		end
	end
	
	return fItemDropRate
end

function GetPieceItemDropRate()
	local tList = GetEventList()
	local fPieceItemDropRate = 15
	for i in pairs(tList) do
		if( tEvent[tList[i]].fPieceItemDropRate ~= nil ) then
			fPieceItemDropRate = fPieceItemDropRate * tEvent[tList[i]].fPieceItemDropRate
		end
	end
	
	return fPieceItemDropRate
end

function GetGoldDropFactor()
	local tList = GetEventList()
	local fGoldDropFactor = 150
	for i in pairs(tList) do
		if( tEvent[tList[i]].fGoldDropFactor ~= nil ) then
			fGoldDropFactor = fGoldDropFactor * tEvent[tList[i]].fGoldDropFactor
		end
	end
	
	return fGoldDropFactor
end

I only included the parts of EventFunc.lua that are relevant to my problem.

I also tried editing constant.inc, but the effect only works up to 5x the normal rates. I've seen three different ways of changing rates, but the most logical seemed to be to make it an event (since the other two methods failed to work, I kinda assumed using events was the proper way of doing it).

If you've got any ideas that could make this work, please let me know.
