Okay, since a lot more people are moving to Mirage Source from Elysium.
They are quickly working out that not all the cool features in Elysium
are in Mirage Source. One of those cool features, that GSD added in was
the multi drop feature for npcs. Now, i've decided to make my own multi
drop feature just for MSE. You can still get this to work with 303, but
you would need to work that out on your own.
Now, before i start the tutorial i would just like to explain how this
works. I changed the NPC drop system in MSE so instead of you choosing
a specific item, value and chance you choose what type of drop
combination you would like to use. Meaning drops are saved in a
separate file from npcs. This way drop combinations can be used over
and over again without the need to remake them. Now, this would mean
you would need to make a drop editor and edit the npc editor slightly.
Tutorial Diffculty: 1/5
Easy, just a plain copy and paste tutorial. Sorry for those who want
comments, i'll promise i'll comment this sometime later this year.
Sorry people..

And now you should be done.. Enjoy!! If there are any bugs please let me know and i'll fix them right away.. Thanks guys 
Oh, i've tested this on a blank mse so it should work 100%, i fixed the
small saving error.. It was a stupid little error.. Damn those stupid
little errors..
