Question - Can someone explain looting comprehensively?

[shazbork]

So I've been using KA for months now. Within the past few weeks I have had to do a lot of changes to looting in order to keep it working. My Loot.ini file has been meticulously manicured over this time period, but it is now being ignored by some of my bots and they are looting garbage that is flagged as IGNORE. The breakdown seems to take place when using /advloot which appears to be required by KA. I do not understand the /advloot functions built into EQ and I've got way too many guys to dick with this shit and figure it out without it causing a massive drag on my day and consuming a lot of my time.

Can anyone just comprehensively outline the correct settings to ensure Loot.ini is used by all looters. Does master looter Role really need to be used? Does /advloot really need to be used? There's a lot of I's to dot and T's to cross here, it seems.

Download the newest compile . There was a fix for bugs if using advloot.

The most recent version of ninjadvloot can now use Advanced looting as a mechanism to loot instead of running up to and opening a corpse. It uses the loot.ini to determine what to do with the loot same as always.
If you use adv loot option then you do have assign a master looter. If using advloot only use one master looter otherwise you will have issues.

Was it just ninjadvloot or? I didn't see a line item about looting for the new KA in the notes.

P.S. You are ultra awesome.

Kiss uses ninjadvloot.inc file to handle looting.

Yeah I was wondering what specifically I had to update, the kissassist.mac or the ninjadvloot.inc file, but I noticed that apparently my entire compile is outdated by a day. I didn't notice that so obviously a full update is in order over here.

And reading this update to EQBC with /bcg? Oh man, that just made my day. I run 3 separate groups so that is HUGE for me. I've had to craft a lot of elaborate socials and trigger them with keypresses. Man that's a big deal to me right there. I love you.

I apparently need to read more.

Reading the instructions is good.
