BetterLoot

Hello, how do I fix my loot, it sometimes put the same item in 1 crate. for example I use a supply signal sometimes it puts 2-3 items like 3 quarry but not stacked? BTW my max quarry in supply drop is only 1. it happens on crates and heli crates too.

 

how to reduce the drop rate of items?
early was a rarity.

 

Edit the LootTable.json file. The number next to each item is the max how many will spawn at once. It's random between 1 and the number next to each item.

 

Hello Fujikura,

I am trying to add custom loot to the LootTable.json file. I turned off my server, updated this list, restarted and none of the loot changes. I am still getting the unusable items that I removed like DuctTape, Sticks, Bleach, and none of my added items show up. When my server is loading the better loot plugin it says there are 24 items in the barrel table and 29 items in the crate table. I checked my .json file and I have 26 items in the barrel table and 30 in my crate table. This pluggin doesn't seem to be accepting any of my changes to the drop table. Is this intentional in the free version or am I making a mistake somewhere?

 

It's a mistake on your part... But no worries. Please post all of your config files from the BetterLoot data folder and the BetterLoot.json file too. That way we can get a better idea of what you have done.

It is unfortunate that some items duplicate. However, when something is truly random, like the generation of what is in the loot, this can happen. The more items you add, the less chance there is of this happening.

 

Thanks.

 

Forget the first message. After another reboot the loot tables that I had set up were applied and the loot is fine. Thanks for your prompt reply.
[DOUBLEPOST=1482263359][/DOUBLEPOST]Can someone tell me what file and how you would make it so different kinds of barels and crates have different loot tables? I read the FAQ but it does not specifiy where you make the changes such as: "barrelTypes": "loot-barrel-1|loot_barrel_2", to in this example make all barrels and trash piles have the same loot?

 

Unfortunately it is not possible with the BetterLoot plugin. However, Fujikura has a paid, premium, version called AlphaLoot which is far more versatile and allows you to customise loot in different barrel/crate types. AlphaLoot also allows you to individually set item rarities. It's soooooooo much better and I can't recommend it enough! Check it out on his profile and see for yourself if it meets your needs.

No problem!

 

Thank you for your quick informative responses! I will look into AlphaLoot!

 

How would I configure a different loot list for create_normal and create_normal_2?

 

Purchase AlphaLoot and use that is the direct answer to your question... Other than that, you can't.

 

The plugin has reached its maximum extension state. More differ options would need a complete rewrite of the whole plugin. For such use-cases and any other needs to go deeper into config i did create some time ago a complete new plugin, which "A Sweaty Womble" already mentioned. Links availalable on my footer or on my profile page.

 

Can someone tell me something -- I can't seem to find it myself... maybe blind... why are the two numbers below different (27 versus 24)?

Is there a way to know what items are NOT being used so I can figure out why???

[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] There are 27 items in the global LootTable.
[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] There are 27 items in the HeliTable.
[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] There are 27 items in the SupplyTable.
[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] We are going to use 24 items for the global LootTable.
[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] We are going to use 24 items for Heli Crates.
[Oxide] 09:15 [Info] [BetterLoot] We are going to use 24 items for Supply Drops.

 

27 items have been listed in each LootTable file, 24 of which have been chosen at random to be used for randomise the loot you find. I haven't used BetterLoot for a while but I seem to remember that was the max number used at any one time regardless of how many items specified in the LootTables. I think then what happens is that when the loot refreshes (which by default is every 30 minutes) it chooses another 24 items to be used as loot.

I could be massively off on this, but I haven't used BetterLoot for a while now and never looked into the CS file. From the strings of text though that's what I've concluded the plugin does.

 

hi guys...its prob already listed here but reading thru 104 pages is a ball ache lol esp when u have reading problems ....anyways.....what im trying to do is make custom loots eg in barrels crates and trash......so say if I wanted like 5 gears and pipes to spawn in trash instead of like apples and bottles ect....sorry for the questions and how I write stuff im dyslexic....

 

BetterLoot can only differ between crate and barreltypes. Thats why it affects by default only the common types, and not such like foodbox and so on.

 

im guessing u need alfaloot?........dose that mean I cant put like guns in barrels? also ive seen like a metor in game that falls from the sky and spawns ore on fire when hits the floor cant find the plugin? is there other sites were u find them or pay for them?

 

You mean "Rain of Fire" by K1llY0u

 

no its kinda like that but how that spreds this drops in one place and the metor u see in the sky like a big fireball...saw it on los santos server
[DOUBLEPOST=1482437770][/DOUBLEPOST]so if I don't want items in crates do I del the item out of the loot table or change it to 0?

 

delete those lines
