Original formulas and rates from TQ binaries?

[pink_panther]

Hi,

Was wondering if there are any guiedes or details about how to or anyone that has reverse engineered the TQ binaries to extract some of the original formulas and rates?

Specifially, I was looking to try and find the original drop rate formulas for things like money, item drops, met/db drops etc, as well as the upgrade chances for things like upgrating level, quality and chance of sockets.

There's a bunch of open source engines but most seem to have pretty random rates for this stuff.

Some of the TQ drops are handled by actions, but most arent and still seem to use hard coded rates.

Find the EO source, it has the TQ drop rates coded. iirc, one of CptSky's COPS sources may have the calculations as well.

EO doesnt seem to have drop rates for DBS and Mets, or the equivilant of those items, in the source. IT does seem to have drop money and item logic though which I'll go though.

I also checked out COPSv6, but the drop rates in that source are way too high for things like quality items, +1s, blessed, enchanted items as well as mets/dbs are all very high rates i can tell are wrong just by looking at it.

Why not just make your own code, and do some testing to satisfy your needs, I think you can get help from DeepSeek asking for an algorithm for the drop rate.

embrace the darkness, embrace the vibe coding

That's what I am doing. So it makes it more so about wanting to recreate or replicate details of the original game; preservation.
