In..

        ' Drop the goods if they get it
        n = Int(Rnd * Npc(NpcNum).DropChance) + 1
        If n = 1 Then
           'Call SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).DropItem, Npc(NpcNum).DropItemValue, MapNum, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
           Call GiveItem(Attacker, Npc(NpcNum).DropItem, Npc(NpcNum).DropItemValue)
        End If

Is the ' suppose to be there, before Call SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).DropItem,etc...???

Yes, thats the old code

e.g. if you wanted to revert back to the old way, then you can just put the ' infront of the new code

perhaps players could have an option to send it to their inventory, or otherwise, and then it would make things more interesting

Shouldn't you check to see if the inventory is full first?

I could be wrong (I don't have any code to double check at the moment) but I believe funcntion giveitem checks to see if the inventory is full.
