[Events]Having some problems with making events work

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

Code:

---

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

Code:

---

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.

bump, still haven't been able to figure this out
