Activate "Enemies drop all gear" after starting a game[message #291207]

Hi,

is there some way to activate that enemies drop all their gear when killed after the game has started?

Some cheat-code, console-command, or HEX-editing some savegame would all be valid options.

If that is not possible: Is there some way to see if the option is activated (like you see the information on enabling Ctrl + GABBI and pressing v)? If that info was available, trying to find the HEX-value would be much easier.

It used to be that one could turn it on and off at will.

2) NO

3) [V] in strategical screen (?)

4) welcome to the pit, take a shovel and help excavating it

Ah, nice. Where and how?

The mean to do it is not in the options menu. The file for hotkeys ( http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218351/ja2_and_1_13_hot_keys ) lists Ctrl+D for the options-menu, but there's no switch and no feedback at all when I press it...

Tao's just nostalgic, the option was moved to campaign start more than a year ago.

In theory, activating it should be possible by messing with the drop tables though. Go to
XMLEditor->Inventories->Drop Rates->xyz and set all the rates to 100 (except vehicle and monster armor Wink

) and make sure USE_EXTERNALIZED_ENEMY_ITEM_DROPS is set to 1 in the options.ini. Never tested it though, it's just a theory.

Pressing v when you are in cheat-mode in tactical screen gives you some information.

I think the option got moved from the options to the pre-game-stuff (where you also pick your difficulty or the SciFi-mode), so it should be in the savegame somewhere.

I'm out of time to burn on this right now, but I'll try to unearth the hex values (of this and more?) when I find some.
Unless someone can help me already. Wink

The drop tables would be global, no? I'd find that option acceptable as well. Wink

Upload the savegame, I can change it with the running debugger.
