Ruby Quest Item Problems

[spacemonstar]

I wonder if anyone will be able to help me.

I'm trying to repair the quest system on my server but I can't figure out why it' not working.

I'll compare 'Attack Oma!' and 'Ingredients for the Antidote' where 'Attack Oma!' works and 'Ingredients for the Antidote' does not.

Flags are set on the NPC correctly

Attack Oma!
16 7 0 1 1 *

Ingredients for the Antidote
20 12 0 1 1 *

Both files are present in the QuestDiary folder where 'Attack Oma' is 16 and 'Ingredients for the Antidote' is 20.

MonItems files are correct: Where Attack Oma! has '1/1 OmaTeeth Q' in oma.txt and Ingredients for the Antidote has '1/1 PoisonSack Q' in SpittingSpider.txt

MonGen.txt both spawns the correct mobs: Where Attack Oma! OmaTeeth are dropped from Oma and Ingredients for the Antidote PoisonSack are dropped from SpittingSpider.

SQL DB items are both STDMODE 100 (for quest items on 2.6)

There's no spelling mistakes and the only mechanical difference between the two is in the MonItems folder. oma.txt is lowercase and SpittingSpider.txt is mixed. But as the MonItems files aren't case sensitive, it wouldn't matter.

Anybody know why OmaTeeth drop with no problems whilst PoisonSack doesn't?

Tried harvesting the spider?

 

[spacemonstar]

Certainly have.

 

[IceMan]

quest items from harvesting mobd never worked on ruby

 

[Hazuki]

We never got this working either, had to do them as drops.

 

[spacemonstar]

Cheers. I'm going to rewrite all the quests to something else anyway. Never enjoyed those particular ones. Now I know where not to trip up. Been a fantastic help.
I don't suppose any of you guys can help me with http://www.lomcn.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?77588-Hero-Problem this one too?

I didn't think of doing it like that. Cheers, that will help. I assume CHECKQUEST 44 is where the quest number in diary is 44?

 

[IceMan]

yup............

 

[spacemonstar]

Cheers mate, much appreciated. Been staring at this screen too long lol

Btw this is fixed on my current files so don't do anything to drastic before next exe update

o.O Now you have me all excited

Will the fix over-rule any Qfunction fix or will that also run in tandem or sequentially, therefore requiring Qfunction removal ?
Does your fix allow for a variable rate of return of quest items per kill ?

 

[Lilcooldoode]

It will need removing from qfunction aswell

"Variable rate of return" ? Speak english man! - what does this mean :-(

Instead of 1 kill = 1 item, it might take several kills before you get the item. Have an extra parameter for odds of return. 1 = every kill, 10 = 1 in 10 chance per kill.

#IF

#ELSEACT
GOTO @QUEST38

[@QUEST38]
#IF
CHECKQUEST 38
RANDOM 8 <--- This achieves a similar result.
#ACT
QUESTGIVE Relics 1
BREAK
