I'd always wondered why Low level Titan and Dragon gave more gold then Mid and High level Titans and Dragons, so… 01/10/2013, 02:27:08

Ragwort writes: using MM7View, pulled monsters.txt. Treasures are: Low Titan 200D10, Low Dragon 250D10, Mid Titan/Dragon 300D10 and High Titan/Dragon 400D10. Had an 8 bit (255) feeling so before entering Abandoned Temple for first time, modified monsters.txt for Bat to 255D10+L6Ring. Using Grayface's Datafiles feature, then entered temple, killed Bat, saved and over several reloads averaged 1400gp. Next changed to 256D10+L6Ring, closed & restarted game, entered temple, killed bat and received no gold, only ring. Treasure fields are 8 bit so any value above 255 has 256 subtracted from it. Therefore 300D10 is 44D10 (240 avg) and 400D10 is 144D10 (790 avg). Did a 10D256 and had program crash so 256 (or 0) in second field probably used in a divisor. My 255D255+L6Ring Bat averaged 32,500gp. Inquiring (enquiring for you Brits) minds and all that....

Brilliant! Does the same problem exist in MM7 & MM8? (n/t) - Bones ( Thu 10-Jan-13 09:39:10 ) +1 My testing was in MM7. I've never fired up my MM8 but expect it's the same in MM6 & MM8. (n/t) - Ragwort ( Thu 10-Jan-13 21:49:28 ) +1 At least in MM6 it is true. - Ramillies ( Sun 20-Jan-13 03:09:37 ) +1 Tables for dragons are same in 6, 7 % 8. (n/t) - Ragwort ( Sun 20-Jan-13 16:19:50 ) +1 Never got 7 & 8 under my hands... I could not know. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 20-Jan-13 17:06:36 ) Fix using MM7View - John ( Wed 10-Apr-13 15:28:58 )
