Question - Looting Tips on EMU Needed

[KorenoGamer]

I have a private EMU setup at home that I mess around on and learn things about boxing on. One thing that frustrates me about EMU is the lack of the Advanced Loot system. Does anyone have any tips to make less of a chore?

if you are multi boxing and using the rg vv, there should be a macro called loot.mac that you can run on a box and it will periodically loot corpses around it.

and if oyu are using kissassist. you can turn set looton=1, to have it loot in the same manner i believe.

and i believe if its kissassist doing the looting, you can use the ninjadvloot system.

Thank you for the reply...

Does loot.mac handle the following.....
- no drop items that is needed in specific quantity for quests?
- ignore specified items
- Assign certain loot to certain characters. IE silk to the tailor, meat to the cook

So there IS an advloot system similar to live on EMU? I thought there wasnt.

I've run into this problem a lot over the years. I play almost exclusively emu servers. Unfortunately I haven't found any elegant way to work around this. The Quest|NumberToLoot|Class| tags don't work. All you can really dictate is keep, ignore, and sell. The best I can do is set things to loot, then /hidecorpse looted. Once it loots items the corpse disappears with items you don't want. You will have bodies laying around with Lore items that you do want looted, but already have on characters. They will continue to try looting those items until the body just decays.
It isn't a pretty method but it works, mostly.

No, unfortunately. It'll either loot or not loot depending on what you have it set in the loot.ini. I typically rely on the LORE tag on items for my characters to not loot multiples of the same item.

- ignore specified items

Yes, just set them to Ignore in the loot.ini

- Assign certain loot to certain characters. IE silk to the tailor, meat to the cook

Again, unfortunately not that I've found.

 Gear|Classes|SHD|NumberToLoot|30|

and tags like this don't work for emu servers. So it's an all or nothing setting.

You can make simple change to code KA to use different loot files per toon. Then you have to manage a loot file per toon though.

Would you mind writing a guide how to do that? Im not that good with code but I can follow instructions.

Sure inside of the kissassist.mac file make this change:

/call SetupAdvLootVars

Becomes

/call SetupAdvLootVars "${Me.Name}-Loot.ini"

That will make a new loot file per toon on execution of kissassist.

Thank you sir so much
