Editing the chances of loot dropped by zombies?

[TylerTurton]

Well, whenever I kill a zombie he'll drop stuff like: M249's, armours, etc. Which I do not want, I've been trying to play around in the database but can't find it.. It looks as if it's Items_LootData but all the chances aren't too high.

Any help? Thanks.

In data base, dbo(warz) and Item_LootData

Do you by chance understand how the chances work?

There will be a table identifier in dbo.Items_Generic. The ItemID in that table corresponds to the entries in dbo.Items_LootData.

In dbo.Items_LootData, there are the following:
recordID: just an identifier

LootID: ItemID from dbo.Items_Generic.ItemID
Chance: Integer value representing X chances out of the sum of all "Chance" for a given LootID
ItemID: The item spawned should this "chance" come up. If set to -1, it spawns nothing.
GDMin: Minimum dollar amount (used when you want money to drop instead of an item)
GDMax: Maximum dollar amount (only used with GDMin, must be greater than or equal to GDMin)

ItemID	FNAME	Category	Name	Description	Price1	Price7	Price30	PriceP	IsNew	LevelRequired	GPrice1	GPrice7	GPrice30	GPriceP	Weight
301119	Loot_Drop_Premium_02	7	WEAP - Civilian	This crate contains a variation of premium and rare gear and outfits	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

These examples show what I'm talking about. The above shows the lootbox we might drop.

RecordID	LootID	Chance	ItemID	GDMin	GDMax
177	301119	1	101032	0	0
178	301119	1	101098	0	0
179	301119	2	101111	0	0
180	301119	5	101040	0	0
181	301119	10	101158	0	0
182	301119	10	101115	0	0
183	301119	100	-1	0	0

The above shows the table of items that can drop from the lootbox.

"Chance" works as follows:

Add all of the "Chances" together: in this case, a sum total of 129. Item 101032 has a 1 in 129 chance to spawn. Item 101098 has the same. 101111 has 2 in 129 chances, 101040 5 in 129, etc, all the way down to -1 (no item) which has 100 in 129 chances to spawn.

To change what the zombies drop, you must edit the tables as you see fit, or create a new table. You then have to set the lootbox in the ZombieSpawn inside Studio (or its LevelSettings.xml file, anyways)

Hope this helps somewhat.

Not a problem. You can edit the tables themselves somewhat more easily by using the admin tool (WZAdmin.exe, located in \WarZ\bin\tools\AdminTools\bin). Go to the Items tab, change the Type: dropdown to Loot Box.

There's no chance under there, wow I'm such a noob with this stuff. :')

[skyone]

del all zombie drop (new over drop)

use [warz]
go

delete 
from items_lootdata
where lootid = 301136

[javaz97]

LootID = 301136 >> not official drop

[skyone]
