[Guide] Corpse Drop list

Post by ronnen »

While there is good information about the special / good items that drop off corpses... I haven't seen a complete and/or consolidated list of what each corpse drops. I also haven't seen anything that includes drop odds. So without further ado, my strip from the ELF (in PNACH with comment format as always):

Code: Select all

Re: Corpse Drop list

Post by eldrasidar »

cool to see this, for ease of reading I have transcribed that information into the following list. While transcribing I noticed that there are a few percentages that appear to wrong, and have noted those below. I've organized this list alphabetically by location, and then put secondary drops in order of most to least likely to be found. Finally I have made bold any significant items that can be acquired.

I'm actually pretty sure all the percentages are "wrong" actually, at least the way one would normally consider a list like that.

!!!AS FAR AS I CAN TELL w.r.t. the below statements!!!

It does NOT look at the list as a whole, pick a number 0 to 100 and then "match" it to the corresponding item.

Instead it looks like it iterates over the list in order, generates a number and checks to see if that number is less than the "chance" represented in the ELF.

Its unclear at the moment what happens when it selects none of the items. I'm guessing it loops back around somehow to ensure that it chooses one item, I just haven't gotten there yet in my ELF function call notes.

So instead of thinking of them as "percent" chance, it'd be better to think of them as a "weighted" chance...

Thus the adding to 100 should be irrelevant... or I could be totally off base. As I've mentioned before, new to MIPS...

What they did in 2 was roll the chances up together, and then check them in turn. That is (using the first chest), Chain Mail has 25, Sandals has 50, Star Pierce is 65, Mega Medicine B is 75, Medicine B is 100. Total chance of an item hitting is 100%. Then it rolls 0-99 and takes the first one the result is less than, starting with Chain Mail and working down. Actually, 2 uses chances out of 255, but it looks like the same logic might be at work. If the chest is guaranteed to have some number of items, it could just re-roll a few times.

If they did it more like 1 (pick a slot out of 3 randomly, then roll chances out of 100 against its value), then, yeah, Konami went bonkers again, and the game is likely wasting a lot of cycles trying to fill up the chests occasionally.

hmm good to know...

I'll take a look again at the routines again with those things in mind when I get a chance and see if I can nail down why there are some with 105% then...

Thanks pyriel!

Initially, you can never rule out the possibility that Konami screwed up. It wouldn't even really present as a bug, unless they set it to 95 and hit the lottery for an empty chest.
