Make sure you clear your browser cache, if you are downloading a new file with the same name, else you may not get the new one.

Glad you got it to work.

I'm working on the eqdatabase backup tool and then a new eq item editor, that works with current db schemas.

hey, here is a "bug" for ya:

In the NPC and loot editor, i cant get the Loot drop chance to stick. Every time i set the loot drop chance it looks like it took, but if i go back, its reset to its old value. Im speaking about the chance for that item table to have somthing drop, not the actually item it's self.

In order to make the change stick, you must go to menu item File/Update Loot Tables.

Whenever you change a npc stat, you would thus use File/Update NPC Table

I did this because no undo is available, but again, you must update the loottable with File/Update Loot Tables

Let me know if it works for you.

Program Update:

NPC and Loot Editor 11.3.00
-In this version, npc editing made easier - changing any npc cell value is now live - i.e changes are saved immediately - no need to save npc's
-Buttons added to make and delete npc on main page. Made a button for saving npc loot.
-Whenever a new npc is created via a copy, a row is inserted with the copy lying one row below original npc.
-Fixed a few misc things to make the program run better

Enjoy

excellent programs GeorgeS =)

have one lil issue i cant seem to figure out. (nor track down an answer in the wiki or forums here hehe)


using Npc & Loot editor version 12.05.00
cavedudes database v066

im currently going through and adding many missing "named" mobs in permafrost. i add for example. a goblin archeologist i give him a unique
loot table id. set his loot drop ids and % chances up. set up the corresponding item ids in the itemlist.
i hit the "save loot" button a couple times throughout along the way.

close editor. run eqemu and then the client to check out my handiwork but it seems none of the items actually make it to the npcs in game.
i reopen the npc & loot editor and it shows my changes as still being there like i put them. i can even change existing mobs loot and that seems to work no problem.
just cant add a new loottable or even add a new lootdrop id to an existing loottable. it looks like it adds, but in game nothing seems to get there.
mobs are dropping cash btw though.

anyhow i know its probably somthing silly on my part. tends to be the case 99% of the time with me.
hate to ask at all but kinda running out ideas here hehe. thanks mate in advance =)
