Is this tool working with DB Version 2214 yet?

No, tool will be finished by this friday. I'll commit time this week.

I redownloaded the tool and tried it again with the same issue. Runtime error :(

[GeorgeS]

When it's done the update will be posted here. RL is been busy

as of today we are on 2260

Tool is now compatible with current schema. This takes into consideration the loot changes that broke the tool.

Just a heads up.. downloaded the new version, server revision at 2243. My fields are set as follows.. 100% NPCs, 100% Chance to drop, 15 items.
In game, the drops are far rarer.. one in 10 mobs MIGHT have one of the new drops.

Browsing some droplists with the PHP Editor, I see that all the new loot has a very low chance to drop, and each table's droprate is only 15% or so.
Even with a 100 probability I'm still not getting results like I did before the lootdrop revision. Is it the cause of these problems?

Also, I notice this program is quite faster than it used to be, but I'm assuming that's because even if you set Chance for NPC to get loot to 100%, it's not really selecting them all - I've never see it working on more than ~5000 npcs each pass now.

Disregard the last line of my statement. It does modify more than 5k npcs at a time, but drops still are anything but consistent.

[GeorgeS]

I see.
I looked at the source and added lootdrop_entries chance and loottable_entries probability to the code and main form so you can enter these now. Drops as a result should be vastly better.
These are in the newest binary
