Think one thing you may want to add, should you continue to expand on this. Would be the option to exclude items from selection. I know you can put in a range, but if a person already has items within the range included, but may not wish for them to ever drop. The exclusion tag would be helpful.

@Deezil907 Thank you for the feedback.
I will implement the exclusion tag, it will be in the notes as tm_loot_exclude.
I also plan to implement a "category" feature.
Using the category feature, the game developer will be able to add the tag: tm_lootc_category
to an item's notes.
The category part can be anything, e.g. tm_lootc_healing, tm_lootc_rare, tm_lootc_expensive
They can then can call the plugin command: tm_loot category
e.g. tm_loot healing, tm_loot rare, tm_loot expensive

This will allow the creation of sets of items that the player can be given one of at random.

Awesome, hope more people come to use it =), look forward to more updates!
[doublepost=1454380596,1452584383][/doublepost]Was thinking possible some cosmetic upgrade to this, maybe displaying the icon of the item looted?

Also could there be a random gold plugin command added (i.e. tm_lootgold_x) with x = to max amount of gold awarded randomly, as of right now the chest when looted will not report any gold gains (although gold was awarded).

Well, anyway still look forward to any future updates.

Though both are good ideas, I sadly won't be able to work on this for a few weeks.

So for now I would suggest awarding random gold by creating an event as follows.

Use the control variables event and set a variable of your choice to a random number between two numbers, eg. between 1 and 1000.
Then call the change gold event with increase selected, and select the variable you chose previously as the value.
Next call a show text event containing \V[20]G found!
In this case 20 was the number of the variable I chose, replace that 20 with ID number of the variable you chose at the beginning.

Once again, thanks for the feedback, I'll apply the updates as soon as I am able.

Yeah, that is how I do it currently. Just that pressing enter to push the dialog forward seems a tad tedious =)
No need to rush, just thought I'd put out the ideas.

I also think adding a command for gold would be great. For the simple reason that the gold will then be displayed in the same message box as the items, not an extra one.

It's relatively easy to do tho. Just add the following code to the plugin.
First search for the following lines

Game_Interpreter.prototype.pluginCommand = function(command, args){
aliasPluginCommand.call(this,command, args);

And add this code below:

if(command == "tm_gold"){
var argument = parseInt(args[0]);
var giveGold = Math.floor(Math.random()*argument)+1
randomGold(giveGold);
}

Then add the following code to the end of the document:

function randomGold(amountGold){
$gameParty.gainGold(amountGold);
$gameMessage.setBackground(0);
$gameMessage.setPositionType(1);
$gameMessage.add("Obtained " + amountGold + $dataSystem.currencyUnit + ".");
}

If you now enter tm_gold value
as a plugin command, you will receive a random number of gold between 1 and value.
For example
tm_gold 10
will award you with a random value between 1 and 10.
