[RELEASE] Mass Drop Editor

[[Alcatraz]]

today Im releasing my new Mass Drop Editor to everyone NOTE its a beta version and is not fully tested so if any problems please leave a response for me and ill see about fixing it as soon as I can or if you have a idea youll like to have added to it ill see about getting it put in for the next release.

But the Main purpose of this release is so when the files are set correctly to your server it can edit and re-edit all the drops in mins instead of 6 to 8 hours. and to do it with out adding more tables or functions to your databases. and so it can be done before having your server fully set up or even after if you plan on making major changes to the drops.





Now how the app works after downloading the zip file and unzipping it youll find 2 txt files a folder with all of other folders with 5 txt files in each folder and the main exe.

I spent the time going thru every map I have from 0-70 and listing all the mobids for each map into 5 different groups when it was needed I also include all the mobids from the ini files for custom bosses and mobs ect. for faster editing this pretty much covers all the EPs up to EP5. your welcome now that being said I know not every server has everything the same so I made it where you can add, remove, and edit just about everything I have done but we will get to that in a min first the basic functions of the app

The main window will look like this in this picture I have number the things you'll need to know and use

 Spoiler

1: this is the maplist it loads the MapList.txt file found with the main exe file here if you want to temp. remove a few maps all you need to do is select the map and click remove map of just right click on the map then remove. this list is very important to the app and is required for it to work.

2: this is the mobids list for each group or the mobids that are listed in the txt files for each map folder it also will show the count of each txt file for how many mobids are in each one.

3: this is the editing sections any and all text fields here will be used in adding drops to each mobid for each group they fields are preset to 0 and will turn to 0 if no info is entered they will also delete their info if you click on them. I use the same layout as from sh studios so people are used to it already.

4: this is the tab sections where the drops are broken up into groups you have mobs, boxes Ele Mobs, Mini Bosses, And Main Bosses these tabs will be disable if no mobids was found in the txt file its linked to.

you can also temp. remove maps from the map list by selecting a map and clicking the remove button or by right clicking on the map and select remove from the popupmenu but this can only be done before you hit the start button.

now when your ready to begin editing all you need to do is open the app and hit the start button it will then load all the mobids from the first map listed in the maplist section from here the Loaded MobIDs will start loading into place and all tabs with ids linked to them will be unlocked for editing, once you edited all the groups you wished to edit click the next map button. this will store your changes to memory and load everything for the next map you will repeat this process until you complete all maps at that time you'll get a message saying as such and you'll be asked to save all your stored data to a sql file. NOTE if you refuse to do so it will clear all the stored info and you'll have to start all over there is no undo button on this app.

now all is complete all you need to so is open your sql file in sql manager and execute and you all done a process that usually takes 6-8 hours to do you just complete in about 30 mins depending on the amount of maps you decided to edit.

ADDing, Removing Maps And MobIDs

 Spoiler

I made this app knowing no everyone has all the same MobIDs on every map and some ep have more maps with that in mind I made this app where the users can edit the info I provided to them and im going to show you how now.

How to add a new map:
first you need to open the MapList.txt file to add a new map all you have to do as add the map code then a space then = then a space and a secondary name for example "0 = Raigo" the 0 in here represents a folder name and the " = " is a line breaker to split the info up into sections so the app can read it. once complete save your work.

next open the maps folder there youll see all the map folders listed by map code make a new folder and name it using the same map code you used in the maplist.txt then youll need create the 5 group txt files its easier to just go to one of the other folders and copy them and paste into your new folder you just created. this is important every folder in the maps folder MUST have all 5 txt files even if they are empty they are still needed.

after adding you 5 txt files start adding all the mobids for all the different groups note you can use the groups how ever you like just because it says mini bosses don't mean it has to have only mini bosses the names are only group names I used so the app can find the files.

once you did all that save and you done you can now open the app and use the new maps or mobids you added the app will auto load them as long as the listing is in the maplist.txt file and there is a folder with that name and has the 5 group txt files

This app is Free to all because I know how I was really to kill my self the first few times having to add drops the old way all I ask is a thanks if you like it. if you don't like it don't thank me or leave a rude message. if you think a improvement would helpful feel free to leave a request to add to the app. and if you lucky and using the same maps and mobids as me you now have mobids for both light and fury maps with them merged together to when your editing you can set the drops the same for both sides. that's why some of the maps listed in the maplist look like "5,7 = Cornwell & Agrilla 1st Room" or like "55,56,57 = SkyCity".

Also If you have different MobIDs or other maps and you create the folders and txt files with all the MobIDs feel free to share with everyone

I did notice that when I used it that it is lacking something like the sh studios when you add a grade and % and set it that it also shows the items listed in that grade number so I think ill be adding that options to it also because I found myself having to look back at what was in the grades so I can set the % correctly
