@whodrops stopped working

Topic.

Items aren't dropped by anything anymore.

[Galt]

Yeah, I thought it was just a temporary bug.

Sort of figured it out when I looked up Jellopy and it said nothing dropped it...

Server tried diving by zero

Server tried diving by zero

Basically that, since we modded the game to expand the number of entries allowed in the databases for both monsters and items. To the game, we have more items and monsters than maximum possible, and the world stopped making sense to the server.

I knew itttt.

[~Altera~]

So...fix it?

[GM-Ayu]

This is one thing I'm pretty sure that I know the final answer to: probably not.

Reason: more important things that directly affect gameplay exist to fix first

Oh, my bad, I thought we had coders able to change numbers.

[GM-Ayu]

Dont' think it's a matter of changing numbers. Not an area I'm familiar with, but even though I know in server files there's a field to allow max number of monsters and item, xray was needed for something related to the client in order to get the changes done or else there's still errors... it'll depend on involvement of how xray changes things and how does it affect @whodrops.

I personally didn't have much problem with @whodrops, though it's more @ii that's now always showing that a monster drops the specified item. @whodrops work for me even on the bradium items, which is as new and high in number ID for new equip as it gets (excluding the customs, which usually are hatter hats or quest wings anyway.)

EDIT: Went ingame to check some more. A few still having odd @ii problems but I asked on main a small bit and every item suggested I can still @whodrops them. Now, careful of technical names and common names (such as radiant wisdom vs release of wish. DB only recognizes release of wish, and if you @mi baba yaga, you see it listed as release of wish.)

Actually, the whodrops bugs sometimes for unknown reason after I reload the mob db or item db manually in game, and whos everything as not being dropped, but another reload fixes it usually, it's fixed already.

You can poke me if you see it bugged and myself or Aki can fix it by reloading item/mob db.

The fact that reloading the mob/item db produces whodrops to malfunction is a bug I'll leave to eAthena to fix.
