BetterLoot

It takes some time for the boxes to spawn after a restart is what i have noticed.
I have a question.
We want to run better loot on our server, but the problem is, that the droprate on some stuff is to great.
We manage to get 5 auto turrets in the timeframe of 5min. so i wanted to remove them, but i cant find it in the loot table.
And i cant seem to find the newer version weapons either.
Is better loot not updated with it yet? is it going to be added to the table?
Have to run the server without better loot now cuz its fucking with the overall game when there is turrets everywhere.
best regards Xziinii

 

I have a question. I have been modifying the loot tables but I would like to go a little deeper. I would like to modify, individually, each type of crate and each type of barrel. I have been unable to find any information on it, but I do admit I have not read all 80 pages... For instance... If I destroy a round metal barrel, I would like it to give me loot like this. Metal fragments (100) every time. Maybe a Water jug or two (or) a Jug or two of crude oil (depending on what may have been in the barrel, if anything at all), and maybe a couple HQ metal. Nothing else.
Then for the garbage cans, Metal frags (50) every time, maybe some rotten food, maybe (anything really, ppl throw some good shit in the trash sometimes).
Trash piles would have empty tin cans and rotten food. Maybe even a bullet or something.
Green boxes would contain only the relative stuff like ammo or grenades
Wood boxes whatever other stuff
Wood health boxes too.

Is this possible? If it has been discussed already in these 80 pages, please let me know. Maybe I will get to it before you do,. But if not, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Ryan

 

Hi Ryan,
As I understand It you can customise the tables for barrels and crates etc, but the contents are still subject to the probabilities that you see in your console when the plugin loads.

You can use the custom loot spawn plugin to create boxes/barrels/trash cans with exactly the same loot every time but I think that would be in addition to the usual loot boxes.

I'm not sure what you want can be done with the available plugs.

 

Hey thank you for that fast response!
Yes, I can and have customized the BetterLoot/LootTable/SupplyDrop and HeliCrate.json files and they function as they should. SeperateLootTables is True, and there are no RarityIndex ItemOverrides. I can group all these containers together, but can not specify their tables individually. If I can call them into the group, then I should be able to call them individually. Maybe call them in a new group? But maybe not..

Thank you for your time

Ryan

[Error] Failed to load plugin 'betterloot' (no source found)
means either the plugin file is not there or you haven't type the name correctly.

It's case sensitive so you need to type - oxide.reload BetterLoot


I don't think the error at the end is related.

 

it loads fine for me but nothing changes on the server this is the loaded text i get

Correct.

 

You can definitely limit the list of items which will be available in each setting - supply, heli, barrels, etc.
I, for example, have set it up that heli loot contains only very rare items plus AK+Bolt.
My heli table has about 10 items total in it and the names list file is irrelevant.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the game groups items into categories and the probability dictates how likely you are to get something in a certain category, if, it's in your relevant loot table.

So if, for example, you limited your loot table for barrels to only have weapons in it, the result would still be random because many of those weapons are in the same probability grouping.

I hope that makes sense and is correct.
I'm absolutely not an authority on this but I think that's how it works,

If it loads fine first time around but you get that error on reload, then I'm almost certain you're either not capitalising or you're putting in a space or something.
Do "oxide.reload BetterLoot" exactly as written here, without the quotation marks.

If you want to be certain that the plugin is active and doing something, open a loot box, keep it open, and type BetterLoot.reload into your console.
The contents should refresh.

 

well i have not changed any settings yet so should that just spawn random items, i know when i used it before it would just drop random loot into crates and barrels etc

 

The plugin can only differ between two types..for that case it has the option to split the loottable into two sections.
I do currently develop on an complete other (private) plugin, which will met all needs I personally ever missed, but not where able to realize it with BetterLoot. You could contect me seperately, if you are interested in a better then Better solution

 

i am open to all suggestions at this point im not the brightest when it comes to configuring plugins i can usually manage with the configs etc but this has me stumped haha

 

I just updated my plugin and now when I type /loot it doesnt pop up. This happened before the update aswell, and i scrolled through these forums and found a "test" config file you made for someone, once I added that it worked. Now the update has messed something up.

 

Could Someone Please Help Me Out And Tell Me How To Change The Food Box Loot

 

read here: BetterLoot for Rust - 2.8.0 | Oxide

 

You can find the config description for that in the FAQ-page, part: Changing included barrels/crates

 

Alright, just making sure I'm doing this right. Loaded the new plugin, setup the config and this is what I get.

[DOUBLEPOST=1474335083][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, do I have it setup right to use the my LootTable in the data folder?

 

The percantages are not more displayed atm...The optionable SeperateLootTable function would not work with the current display calculation, and would take to much lines ti display all info again...

 

blink loot. I do not save the configuration. loot and always the same I do not know how to fix it. or removed and put back the deleted file several times but nothing, and as if there was not. how to solve?

 

what is meant with "blink loot"?
