Can someone explain this... - RunUO

I was looking trhough the lootpack.cs at the different types of loot you can get. I was wondering if someone could explain this line of code to me:

Code:

new LootPackEntry(  true, Gold,			100.00, "5d10+25" ),

That is line 267 of LootPack.cs. Mainly the 100.00 and "5d10+25".
Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me.

The docs are your friend.

(ctor) LootPackEntry( bool atSpawnTime, LootPackItem[] items, double chance, string quantity )

Code:

new LootPackEntry(  true, Gold,			100.00, "5d10+25" );

Meaning, 5d10+25 Gold will be added at spawn time with a chance of 100%.

5d10+25 should be something like (at least was in D&D ^^): "Throw a dice with 10 side 5 times, add all points and add 25".

The last part can also be an integer.

The true indicates this item spawns in the backpack at the time it is spawned (false will spawn after it is killed and use the player's data to determine properties, but in the case of Gold that doesnt matter (at least to OSI style), Gold is obvious, the 100.00 is the % chance to receive this loot, the 5d10+25 indicates the quantity which will be based upon 5 rolls of a 10 sided die, then add 25 to that total. So 5d10+25 would be a range of 30 to 75.

Thanks guys...I thought the 100.00 was 100% but that other just blew me away.
Thanks for explaining it. I just wanted to add tokens to my loot at 1/10th the gold. Think I can figure it out now. Thanks again.
