BetterLoot

Hey so this is probably dumb but there are no loot spawns what so ever on my server. I flew around to the local radtowns and there was nothing, only barrels. I left the server idle for a full 40 mins and not a single box spawned. So this worries me. Is there any fix for this and if so what is it. Any help is appeatiated.

 

Hello anyone have working version ? thanks

 

So if they added items to rust can we just add it to the config? I dont know if I should use this or LootConfig because lootconfig sometimes doesnt spawn stuff in airdrops.

 

Im having the same problem, even reloaded everything to make sure. Was working fine before the rust update now nothing

 

Is anyone working on this or does it have a replacement?

 

How come people can find Laptops and Cameras in boxes? I thought heli's only drop that?

 

You could try to incease the fps.limit, or the better way, to increase the content-refresh to a higher or very high amount (default is 15):

Code:

  },
  "minItemsPerBarrel": 1,
  "minItemsPerCrate": 3,
  "refreshMinutes": 15
}

Server default of most barrels and crates is between 3600 and 7200 seconds, Betterloots default is 900 seconds.

You need to blacklist them, as Betterloot puts them into by default:

Code:

  "enforceBlacklist": false,   <--- only set to true if want to blacklist in INV too
  "itemBlacklist": [
    "seed.pumpkin",
    "jackolantern.angry",
    "tool.camera"
  ],

[DOUBLEPOST=1465408867][/DOUBLEPOST]For those of you who want to exclude the HeliLoot ('heli_crate') from BetterLoots modifying, i did implement a simple exclusion to this. This makes it possible to use for example LootConfig to customize the HeliLoot. As of current design, BetterLoot changes the loot from heli.

 

I got this thinking it would be regular loot from barrels and stuff, but just with added stuff, but I was wrong. My barrels no longer drop blueprints or blueprint fragments, and I have yet to find any military boxes or loot crates in result of installing this plugin. I uninstalled the plugin to go back to normal, but now my loot tables are all fucked and my barrels still wont drop blueprints. Everything would be fine if the barrels still dropped frags and bps, please fix.

 

BetterLoot does NOT change the LootSpawn Config, it creates the Loot on Barrels and Crates ONLY ondemand by Config-Settings.
Cou could increase your need by increasing the rarity in BetterLoot config.
RustIO can create a file with all items, those "short-names" can be used to setup your Loot for BP's and Itemdrops

 

I did now officially take over this plugin from dcode (Thx to wulf), and will update it on the next days to fullfill current needs and to provide more options to exlude/include types like SupplyDrop/HeliCrate, and whatever i find addtionally in the thread, which i need still to read complete

 

I am relieved to hear you say this. We used to use this plugin before it started spawning a ton of entities at 0,0,0 every 15 minutes filling the entity count up into the 500k's. We stopped using this plugin in favour of LootConfig but it's a little too expansive for what we want. Assuming the problem I mentioned above is resolved with your update I'm excited to have this plugin back.

 

I don't think that the massive spawn in the middle was a problem by this plugin or oxide itself. This was solved a couple of weeks before on server-side by facepunch, i've read on a statement form the guys from rustafied...Some voices meant before, it comes from kits plugin, but it was'nt the reason

 

Oh really. That's insane. They must have fixed it the wipe I dropped the mod off the server.

Good to know. I'll still hold off till your first update but that's handy knowledge.

 

Its a loot of work to make it more compatible and userfriendly
It has a really good code-base, but needs some tweaks and improvements. dcode did a good job on this.

 

QUESTION: Can anyone confirm that in HIS configuration spawn/spawned any Blueprints in barrels or crates?
Anf if yes, plz post your configuration file here. Thx

 

UPDATE: Found the Bug which prevented spawn of Blueprints

 

BetterLoot 2.0.0 will be available next 24 hours

 

Bloody legend. Thank you for tireless work

 

For some reason, no boxes or barrels are spawning at radtowns for me

 

Fujikura updated BetterLoot with a new update entry:

2.0.0

[DOUBLEPOST=1466641611][/DOUBLEPOST]It's tested as much as i could for any bugs, but i still believe, there will be some minor ones remaining
The next days will improve the current version to a higher stable one.
The plugin will become next days a language file to give multilanguage support.
Furthermore i will explain the whole cofiguration options in the plugin description page.
