Airdrop Extended [Unmaintained]

How do i go about getting the random air drops to work again? Its been over an hour, I have the setting at 3 minutes for testing and every time i check the new cfg file in my data folder i made, its reset to 3600 seconds upon reloading or loading my new CFG. I seen airdrop control mentioned BUT there isnt a setting that i see for launching the air drops.

 

could you send me your config file and commands you enter?

 

I was editing the cfg file. Im not sure if I should be but didnt see a setting for launchign the random air drops. Im sorry to be a bother but I apparently am not as smart as i once thought I was. Old age is kicking me hard. here is my CFG. As you see the settings have reverted back to 1 hour and this happens with each attempt.

 

baton256 updated AirdropExtended with a new update entry:

0.5.3

[DOUBLEPOST=1439334744][/DOUBLEPOST]

There was an issue with settings that I think I've just fixed. Should be fine now Could you please try again and give feedback?

 

with the 0.5.3 it is working properly ;-) and Baton also fixed my problems to make this plugin work perfectly.

A really nice guy, reactive and a good plugin for my server ;-) NICE ! Thanks.

 

lemme try the latest
[DOUBLEPOST=1439336031][/DOUBLEPOST]Looks like everythign is all hunky dory now. Thank you for the time and effort to fix the old airdrop_settings plug in. I loved that one and was devastated when the original dev stopped on it. Nothing compares to this plug in and its straight forward simplicity! You are awesome and thanks again for the help. I dont know iof you take donations but ill send you one if you do!

 

ty, I'm glad to help. If you have any ideas on how to improve/add feature to the plugin please share!

 

I don't understand how MinDropFrequency & MaxDropFrequency works. What would I set it at if I wanted an airdrop to drop 4 times per restart? Server is up for 3 hours.

 

If you want drops at constant interval set both frequences to same value.
If you restart your server each day at constant time - then you have 24hrs between restarts. If you want 4 drops - 24/4= 6 hrs. Easy math if you need 4 drops each 3 hrs - 3/4 - 45 minutes.

 

If you put

"MinDropFrequency": "01:00:00",
"MaxDropFrequency": "01:00:00",

It means that drop will be done one every one hour.

If you put :

"MinDropFrequency": "00:10:00",
"MaxDropFrequency": "00:10:00",

It means drop will be done one every 10 minutes

Don't forget the "SupplyCrateDespawnTime": "00:15:00",

the 15" means that the drop will stay on the ground for that long before disappearing...

I don't know how to set a 4 drop automatic ( as you ask ) per restart except if you press 4 times manually on the call button for planes in your console.

Hope that can help... ( I am only a user )

/EDIT : Oops ;-) Baton already here ;-)

 

Ah ok! Cheers guys.

One more question.. Can you manually make an airdrop come in? I tried event.run in console but it didn't work.

 

You can call plane with use of other plugins. This plugin doesn't have command to launch airdrop yet. BUT event.run should work. If you're on a test server try calling event.run for a few times, maybe you missed it?

Personally i use supply signals to test things out
[DOUBLEPOST=1439374701][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm working now on a "fixed plane count in the air" feature, anyone willing to test after I'm done?

 

Yes it is working. I use RustAdmin, and I click on call ( airdrop option ) Then I have to wait a little bit with the map and aircraft are coming.

What I haven t checked yet it is if the plane is really automatically coming each 1hour and 30 minutes on my serv as set up in the file.

 

You may check plane spawn messages in your server console log.

 

when using the calling button :

Code:

(12:21:56) | [RCON][87.64.21.56:54027] event.run
(12:21:56) | [Oxide] 11:22 AM [Info] aire:Cargo Plane has been spawned.

and oki I will check the log to see of plane was coming every 1hour and 30 minutes ^^ ( I will make a test with 10 minutes ^^ will be easier ) Later on.

 

EN:
After a few alterations, the plugin worked more with version 0.4
But in the current version and not working properly drop. If the setting is for example a maximum of 2 pieces of clothing with, the AIR can be filled and 5 things to which one is repeated twice!

RU:
После пару переделок, плагин работал ещё с версии 0.4
Но в нынешней версии так и не работает правильно дроп. Если в настройках стоит к примеру максимум 2 части с одежды, то аир может быть заполнен и 5 вещами с которых одна будет повторятся два раза!

 

There are now few things that are not supported using default settings.
One of them unique items in group. So you may get duplicates from one group. To overcome this you need to manually define groups with torso/head/legs and so on and set MaximumAmountInLoot to 1.

As I understand you are using PickStrategy 0. Mind that using PickStrategy =0, MaximumAmountInLoot in settings equals to chance that item from this group will appear in loot. Try setting PickStrategy to 1.

Later, I will add more intellectual settings generation commands. But that's not first feature to implement in my list. I can give you direct help with voice/chat if you add me on steam or skype. PM me for contact information.

 

Clothes made

 

i love this plugin! Is there a posibility for a feature that can anounce how far away you are from the drop? like "An airdrop landed 300 meters away from you!"

 

Yeah, its possible. Shall it notify all players?
