Having an issue with some custom drops that don't seem to be registering for example "Hyukes Black Cat Ears","Chick Hat" and many other custom drops I have set to drop off a monster at very low chance. however it does not seem to matter how many times I save and recompile. The server does not seem to want to read the mob_db/item_db changes I have made.
Some items get added perfectly fine. for example I have ifrit ears dropping off ifrit and when I do a @mobinfo on him the item is infact there. I checked many more items but it seems a few items just cant be added to the drop tables.
I am using SDE to do my DB edits, and am set to pre-renewal. What determines if a monster can drop an item?
Also an extra question if thats okay, does @reloadmobdb/@reloaditemdb effectively let me test to see if its working without recompile or does the server have to be recompiled to see changes made to the drops.
