Seems like the loot dropping functionality might have broken on a recent update? the packages on maps are still functional but npcs dropping loot seems to have stopped, testing on the 5e demo campaign without anything but the defaults

Works fine for me. Are you sure you have the LOOT template defined and the inventory has items to drop? I tested by putting a dire wolf in CT and map - then added 1 day of rations item into its inventory - then set its wounds in CT to max which killed it - the bag dropped - it contained 1 day of rations. As long as your map parcel options are correct, some template for your NPC exists, and it has anything to drop - then it should work. Default being "[MP] LOOT" with empty default parameters I recommend for loot bags. Not going to cover all the rules for those - but appears to work fine.Quote:

V1.67 - Update - New option "Add NPC Random Treasure to inventory based on [MP] tables" defaulted to off. Will add default treasure to NPCs (not if polymorphism, a type or effect Object, or has inventory already) when placed in CT find table (case insensitive) named "[MP] <NPC name>" or "[MP] <NPC type>" or choose tables based on CR value where [ <NPC type>] is also optional to append to the relevant table: "[MP] CR:00-04[ <NPC type>]"; "[MP] CR:05-10[ <NPC type>]"; "[MP] CR:11-16[ <NPC type>]"; "[MP] CR:17+[ <NPC type>]". Don't plan on much support - it respects the table data expected (and I mean tables are picky of syntax) or fails to do anything. As usual this was for me and mine. The forum thread has an example mod file with tables I use (beast and undead ones are blank so that those types of NPC will never drop random treasure in inventory based on CR tables - always checks name then type then CR type then CR tables in that order).
Honestly, did this because I was annoyed at populating a campaign with my encounters backed up from combat groups. Just wanted something simply so I don't have to put out loot unless I really want to. No I'm not going to explain it more - Yes I might make a quick video - No you don't get more explanation than this. Well you get this example .mod file with the tables I'll be using in my game - references DMG 5E stuff. Don't like my tables? Go make your own.
