What lines actually remove stuff from game? Also does it remove it from barrels/airdrops?

Can you explain the difference between LootContainers and SpawnGroups which seem to have almost the same arguments.

Hi guys! I am quite confused with how to edit this plugin. Can somebody please tell me how to make it so it spawns more than 2 items max inside of barrels/loot boxes?

Hey, so if I wanted to make loot more rare how would I setup the file?

Hi this may have been answered already but here we go.

I'm looking to remove some items INDEFINITELY from crate and barrel pools. I've tried many other plugins but all they do is delete them when players pick them up.

I want to make only waterpipe shotguns, rocket launchers, and incendiary rockets obtainable via Event Manager's /reward shop.

If anyone could help me that would be great. Thank you!!!

Since betterloot is now unmaintained, please can we have a general "better loot preset" for this plugin, the reason why betterloot was great because it was just a download and Go plugin.

I found this post to be very helpful in understanding how the plugin works and how to adjust the config.

Raiannon said: ↑

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster. (lol)

So I see a lot of people having problems with this, so I decided to post my settings, along with some explanation, and see if I could help. I use Loot Config along with AirdropExtended to configure my server so that guns and explosives drop almost never on ground loot, and very frequently from air drops. I included both files in case you want to use the same setup, but will only go in depth on the lootconfig settings. Send me an inbox if you want to know about airdrop.

So let's dig into LootConfig! The best way I found was to open it in Notepad++, and close all of the parenthesis (- signs to + signs) except the first so you see some organization. Let's dig into each option.

One of the Airfield Spawn Groups

Code:

"airfield_1_loot_spawner_x11y43z1172": { "assets/bundled/prefabs/radtown/crate_normal.prefab": { "DestroyOnEmpty": true, "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1", "MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1, "MinSecondsBetweenRefresh": 3600.0, "MaxSecondsBetweenRefresh": 7200.0, "DistributeFragments": true }, "assets/bundled/prefabs/radtown/crate_normal_2.prefab": { "DestroyOnEmpty": true, "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown2", "MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1, "MinSecondsBetweenRefresh": 3600.0, "MaxSecondsBetweenRefresh": 7200.0, "DistributeFragments": true } },

So here, we want to make sure each spawn group has
"DestroyOnEmpty": true, - if you want the box destroyed when it's looted
"LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1", - which item list should it choose an item from, more on this later.
"MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1, - how many of that type of item you want to spawn in that location, ie, in airfield for this one
"DistributeFragments": true - if you want it to be able to give blueprint fragments. No comma here because it ends the code block.

Now let's look at the next type of config, Item Mod Reveals

Code:

"blueprint_book.item": { "NumForReveal": 1, "RevealedItemOverride": null, "RevealedItemAmount": 1, "AsBlueprint": false, "RevealList": "Blueprints.Rare"

"NumForReveal": 1, - how many of the item you need to get a reveal option
"RevealedItemOverride": null, - if you want it to reveal a specific item, and only a specific item, enter it here
"RevealedItemAmount": 1, - if you have put in a specific item, how many should they get. no specific item means you can ignore this (leave it at 1)
"AsBlueprint": false, - if you put a specific item, should it be a blueprint? no specific item, ignore it
"RevealList": "Blueprints.Rare" - which list should it pick an item from (more on this later)

The next type of config is Item Mod Unwraps, and has to do with presents.

Code:

"present.large.item": { "RevealList": "LargeGift-Contents" },

"RevealList": "LargeGift-Contents" - pick which item list you want a large present to pick an item from, more on this next

And finally, categories. This is where things can get confusing. There are two types of categories. Let's do this using our example, that Airfield Spawn Group. The first option had "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1", so let's find that loot definition in the code. If we've closed out our parenthesis, it shouldn't be hard to find.

Code:

"LootSpawn.RadTown1": { "Items": [], "Blueprints": [], "SubSpawn": [ { "Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelBetter", "Weight": 10 }, { "Category": "Collection.Tools", "Weight": 20 }, { "Category": "Collection.Weapons", "Weight": 15 } ] },

In this code, we see that there are no direct spawns ( "Items": [],) No blueprint spawns ("Blueprints": [],) but we have 3 subspawns.
"Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelBetter",
"Category": "Collection.Tools",
"Category": "Collection.Weapons",

Before I paste what those have, let's look at the weight. We have 10 weight on BarrelBetter, 20 on Tools, and 15 on Weapons. So the total is 45. The RNG will pick a number 1-45, and if it falls between 1-10, it will open BarrelBetter. 11-30 is Tools, and 31-45 is Weapons. The numbers may fall in a different order, but that's the basics. So let's say it generates a 6 and chooses BarrelBetter. We find that in our config file, and here's what we see:

Code:

"LootSpawn.BarrelBetter": { "Items": [], "Blueprints": [], "SubSpawn": [ { "Category": "Nothing", "Weight": 0 }, { "Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelCommon", "Weight": 60 }, { "Category": "Bow And Arrow", "Weight": 6 }, { "Category": "Items.Common.Tool", "Weight": 10 }, { "Category": "Items.Uncommon.Tool", "Weight": 5 }, { "Category": "Blueprints.Rare", "Weight": 3 }, { "Category": "Blueprints.VeryRare", "Weight": 1 }, { "Category": "Crossbow", "Weight": 3 }, { "Category": "HQMetal", "Weight": 5 } ] },

I wanted to point this out, because this is one of those loot spawns that by default can spawn with nothing. I have changed this in my config to have a weight of 0. This means it will not, cannot be picked. Loot will not be spawned with nothing in it.

So again, let's add it up....BarrelCommon has 60, Bow and Arrow 6, Common Tool 10, Uncommon Tool 5, Blueprints Rare 3, Blueprints Very Rare 1, Crossbow 3, HQMetal 5. Let's say it goes to Bow and Arrow, so that we can look at the other type of category.

So we find Bow and Arrow in the list, and get...

Code:

"Bow And Arrow": { "Items": [ { "Shortname": "bow.hunting", "Amount": 1.0 }, { "Shortname": "arrow.wooden", "Amount": 5.0 } ], "Blueprints": [], "SubSpawn": [] },

Here we can see what that category includes, and change how many. So this category includes a hunting bow, amount is one, and wooden arrows, amount is 5. You can see these are under Items, not Subspawn, which is why it's no longer a category picked.

PHEW! I think I covered it all, but I most likely missed something. PLEASE ask questions if you have them.
[DOUBLEPOST=1454572223,1454380980][/DOUBLEPOST]I found that Airdrop Extended is being overwritten by settings inside LootConfig, so I took another look at the config file, and I think I've fixed it so it's all customizable within LootConfig. Testing it, and I'll re-upload if it works.

Click to expand...

search for the items you want to remove in the categories, that are the actual loot lists/tree, they are connected with each other via their name and assigned to LootContainers/SpawnGroups

GnRLies said: ↑

Click to expand...

LootContainers are all barrels, crates that can be all over the map...
SpawnGroups are special spawns in/around radtowns which can be configured seperately that way (spawnconfig splits them up) so that you can specify different loot for each radtown

set MaxDefinitionsToSpawn to a higher value (determines how often a item is get from the loot list and put into the inventory)

SomeGuy said: ↑

change the weights to a lower value, or remove items from the loot lists

I am sure this has been answered, but. I set some guns and items in the config file to 0 for both weight and amount from air drops, boxes, barrels and such. I am still finding these items in game, in the boxes, and in air drop. IS there something im missing? Is there a better blacklist mod? Please help.

Thank you

Hi, just added this plugin today cuz betterloot isn't supported (didn't know till this morning). I haven't made any edits to the json file, but one of my players tried to reveal a bp library and he was kicked and I found this error:

Hi Op, everytime I load this plugin, I get this error:
[Oxide] 20:28 [Info] [LootConfig] No SpawnConfig loaded, skipping SpawnGroups...

This is with the default config files and a fresh map install. Is this normal? What's the solution?

The plugin works otherwise. I just don't see much loot in the radtowns.

Although you can alter a few things the normal way I just went into chat and used the (gather.rate dispenser "Sulfur Ore" 5 ) You can break it down to each type of resource. Only put the " " when the item name is 2 or more words. There is a list of the items by typing gather.resources I believe. Hope this helps.
