FancyDrop

I've been trying to figure out the weight system for a while now and I've read all the docs for it. I can't seem to figure out (it might not even be possible) how to have items be in every drop with 100% chance. But I only want that item to be selected once. So I have a drop for 10k wood and stone, I'd like these to be only selected once to be in the drop.

EDIT: Second questions is I've changed the weight to things I don't want to drop to 0 but it keeps putting them in the airdrop anyways (they don't spawn in barrels). I was wondering if this was a bug or if I have to to create entire custom categories with those items not in the list. Hope it's not the latter.

 

You`re talking of changes done with LootConfig, right?
The system is, after a deeper look into in and working with the code, not as difficult as it seems...
But to be true, i needed days to check really out, how it works

The base is, it counts first the count of to be spawned items, based in an internal value, called "maxDefinitionsToSpawn".
This count will be uses to loop x times through a spawning function.

This function will always summarize all weights of a category together, for the default "LootSpawn.SupplyDrop" this will be atm a sum of "840".
secondly it generates a random value between 0 and the sum of the category, means from the sum "840".

It starts then a loop with all entries(category entries), every run the sum will be decreased by the weight of the actual entry. the first would be by default Lootspawn the category "100(Items.VeryRare)", second "200(Items.Rare)"....and so on...until the (every step) decreased sum is smaller then the random number, f.e. 826.
It calls then the next (sub)category, and does the same again, until it hits direct an item.

To understand this whole thing only from text is VERY hard, so i did comment the inbuilt game functions with some debug, on which i based the text

Code:

Did you ever implement the airdrop_arrow plugin into your plugin? I'm not sure if you ever were going to, but if not is there anyway to get an arrow implemented? The airdrop_arrow plugin I use isn't working anymore for myself for some reason, even though it says that it is. :<

Nvm. Found a solution with another plugin and someone updated the airdrop_arrow one that I didn't notice.

 

I had it included in an earlier test-version, but every try to make it more fancy was unsuccesful...
So i decided to implement such thing only once i've found a solution which hits more my graphical standards

 

Pre-update information to next major release 2.0.0

This will include a custom loot table option based on the game internals Lootspawn, known already through plugins like LootConfig.
The plugin will use a simplified version of such a Lootspawn entry. It will export the whole Lootspawn tables as a simplified version from supplydrop, to change this by your own.
The usage of this custom loot will produce the same weight system as the server itself does for all others loot spawns. This gives back maximum randomized and weighted loot.

Furthermore EVERY airdrop type will have its own configurable options. this will look then for every type similar like that:
(options are explained deeper once updated)

Code:

      "regular": {
        "crateAirResistance": 1.0,
        "cratesGap": 50,
        "despawnMinutes": 15,
        "includeStaticItemList": true,
        "includeStaticItemListName": "regular",
        "includeStaticItemListOnly": false,
        "maxCrates": 3,
        "maxItems": 12,
        "minCrates": 1,
        "minItems": 9,
        "planeSpeed": 60,
        "randomAmountGroupedItem": false,
        "randomAmountSingleItem": false,
        "useCustomLootTable": true
      }

Every type will have access on a static item list, which can be included to drop a minimum of wanted items per each crate, defined by their minimum and maximum to be spawned. As the name says, the lists are static, an additional random/wgiht system would produce not qualified output and could lag the spawn process. Thos lists can either be included or includedONLY, which means, ots possible to send some event drops with a specific list of items. Such a list could look like that:

Code:

      "regular": {
        "itemList": {
          "cctv.camera": {
            "max": 2,
            "min": 1
          },
          "targeting.computer": {
            "max": 2,
            "min": 1
          }
        }
      }

I'll implement an additional command, which makes it possible to send all types with a specific itemlist, to give you a more variable use case.

The default export of the whole lootspawn from supplydrop will look by default like the attached file.
(If first renders the pure categories, and the second part will show the items as last part of such a category tree. To ease up later the editing, the level/stages for the categories are marked with a number to give a better overview. Simplified it would be enough, to delete or add items on the last parts )

 

Hello everyone, do you know whats the name of timed explosive charge ?
Current one in fancy airdrop is survey_explosion.prefab

so for c4 will be ? --> timed_explosive_charge.prefab

nvm i got it

 

I have read through the codes for FancyDrop plugin carefully and "false" the ones i did not want. But somehow when i call in a drop it says the cords. I dont know exactly where i could have missed this. I do not want the cords shown.

 

Fujikura updated FancyDrop with a new update entry:

2.0.0

 

ty so much .. finaly got added lmg m249 to suplydrops !!!!

 

Great update but slightly confused to what i have to set to force fancydrop to use betterloot?

 

it does detect the setting fully automatic once you set betterloot to use with "includeSupplyDrop" to TRUE
And then FandyDrop does'nt change anything on the loot

The latest update of BL did add this part of code BetterLoot for Rust - 2.6.3 | Oxide

 

Thanks for the quick answer Fujikura i had the "includeSupplyDrop" set to TRUE but 1 small thing i was not sure of was what should "useCustomLootTable": be set to in fancydrop in each section ? true or false? thanks again

 

@Fujikura Fancy work man! Love it and thanks for the best airdrop plugin ever made

 

Was quiete a hard work last days^^
But now it has come it's goal some miles closer

 

This was working great till i updated it to latest version, when i load it i get this message


[Oxide] 18:30 [Error] Failed to call hook 'OnLootEntity' on plugin 'FancyDrop v2.0.0' (NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object)

This will atm only happen, when the plugin is reloaded while server run-time and an drop which spawned before reload get looted.

 

Its very annoying i have the cfgs changed to attached copy , but i get i crate with only default 6 slots for a supply signal, and not only that it tells players in chat that signal was thrown by "someone" and tells the coords, and then tells players in chat who is looting it ? previous version was great and had no problems with mass drops, supply drops or timed ones,
And if i "reload" FancyDrops through the console i get this setup where it goes back to minimum of 2 players and different times for drops
[RCON][85.236.96.34:31167] oxide.reload FancyDrop

is there any console command i can use to re adjust these settings without stopping the server and editing/saving/save and restart server again ?

 

The config you've posted is not from actual version. Which Version are you running now?

 

it says Loaded plugin FancyDrop v2.0.0 by Fujikura and that is the cfg that the plugin created (?) , if you have another one and can post a text file i will replace mine and see if it works, i removed the plugin twice and made sure there were no cfg files (even "searched" cfgs for it to make sure)
hope it does cos it replaced two non working ones and does everything you could want,

 

The plugin creates exact this config i've attached now. Maybe you should really think about to change your hosting provider. All those indivual problems, even those wtih BetterLoot, are'nt normal.
