Loot Spawn Lists [Unmaintained]

You loottable looks fine
but M4 weight 30 you want ppl to have free m4s ?

I think its something diffrent[DOUBLEPOST=1389208874][/DOUBLEPOST]Question!

Blueprints do the need to be in loot table to because they dont spawn anymore now

 

haha ok im a bit un-sure about how the weights work i will take that down i guess xD

 

I'd say "10" for M4s but that's just my opinion

 

ok thanks

 

Weight looks like %

Only 100 Weight is not 100%
i have not figured that out yet how much weight is 100%[DOUBLEPOST=1389220012,1389210866][/DOUBLEPOST]Help me with Blueprints do they need to be on the Loot Table to ?
to spawn ?

 

Sorry for the big post.. but so many people are asking questions that are so simple once you understand exactly how the weights work... and how the lists reference each other. so maybe my lecture will help....


OK the weight is how frequently that item will drop/spawn as compared to other items in the SAME list... Technically it is NOT a percentage, unless you change all of the weights in one set to equal 100. Then you could say it was a percentage...

EXAMPLE1--

Code:

 "KevlarArmorLootList":{
    "oneofeach":false,
    "min":1,
    "max":1,
    "nodupes":false,
    "packages":{
      "1":{
        "weight":50,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Helmet"
      },
      "2":{
        "weight":50,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Pants"
      },
      "3":{
        "weight":50,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Vest"
      },
      "0":{
        "weight":50,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Boots"
      }
    }
  },

Notice all of the weights are 50. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS SUPER EASY TO FIND KEVLAR ARMOR ITEMS>...
This simply means that when the Kevlar Armor Loot List is referenced for a drop, that each item in this list has an exactly equal chance of dropping... It doesn't matter what the weight is... It could be all 1's... It is just the weight of odds that that specific item will drop compared to other items in that same list... Now take the same list again...

EXAMPLE2-

Code:

 "KevlarArmorLootList":{
    "oneofeach":false,
    "min":1,
    "max":1,
    "nodupes":false,
    "packages":{
      "1":{
        "weight":2,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Helmet"
      },
      "2":{
        "weight":3,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Pants"
      },
      "3":{
        "weight":1,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Vest"
      },
      "0":{
        "weight":4,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Kevlar Boots"
      }
    }
  },

Now, if the Kevlar armor loot list is called again... The Kevlar Vest will have the lowest chance to be found...
The most common item you will find from this list will be the Kevlar boots.

This does not effect the chance of you actually finding a piece of the Kevlar armor set... You MUST LOOK AT THE LIST THAT IS SPAWNING THE ARMOR FROM THAT LIST..

In my case it would only be found from a zombie drop...

EXAMPLE3-

Code:

"ZombieLootList":{
    "oneofeach":false,
    "min":1,
    "max":1,
    "nodupes":false,
    "packages":{
      "1":{
        "weight":10,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"AmmoSpawnList"
      },
      "2":{
        "weight":20,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"ConsumableSpawnList"
      },
      "3":{
        "weight":25,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"JunkSpawnList"
      },
      "4":{
        "weight":3,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"KevlarArmorLootList"
      },
      "5":{
        "weight":7,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"Pick Axe"
      },
      "6":{
        "weight":5,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"ResearchKitSpawnList"
      },
      "7":{
        "weight":4,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"WeaponSpawnList"
      },
      "8":{
        "weight":13,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"MetalBuildingPartsList"
      },
      "0":{
        "weight":13,
        "max":1,
        "min":1,
        "object":"LeatherArmorLootList"
      }
    }
  },

I made my weights on the zombie drop list equal to 100, so that it would be easier to visualize how rare something will drop from a zombie!

If you add all of the weights in EXAMPLE3 up... It will equal 100.
A percentage is defined as something out of 100... so 10 percent is the same as 10 out of 100.

So in this case, you can say that the drop rates are in percentages... ONLY because I made all of the weights in this one list add up to 100. You DO NOT need to do this... The weights in EXAMPLE2 Will work just fine for specific items list... I ONLY MADE THEM EQUAL TO 100 so that if someone asks me, "Hey how rare is it to find a weapon on a zombie" I would know to tell them there is a 4% chance.

According to EXAMPLE3
If I kill a zombie there is exactly a 7% chance to drop a pick axe. Simple right?

So for each zombie killed, there will be a 3% chance that it will drop something from the Kevlar Armor Loot List.

THEN the game looks at the next list... It references the "KevlarArmorLootList"

That is where that specific list weight will come into play... In EXAMPLE1, they were all 50... That means there will be an equal chance for any single piece to drop.

In the second example it would be much harder to find a Kevlar vest then it would be to find the Kevlar helmet... Because the weight is higher on the Helmet versus the Vest.

BUT STILL... Overall... There is only a 3 out of 100 chance that one of those zombies killed will even DROP the Kevlar in the first place.

Putting everything together is a matter of logic... You have to be able to tell what drop list *zombie drop, supply drop, box drop* will spawn what items from what list.

I hope this makes sense... I am writing a program in Visual Basic as we speak that should make this quite a bit easier for everyone to modify the loot to exactly how they want it.

 

Good explanation. Thank you
Still need to know about the blueprint

 

Nice explanation!

Blueprints are standard items and need to be included on the loot tables in order to be dropped, just like any other items.

 

All i needed to know thanks

 

how blueprints are correctly spelled?

 

I checked and some are diffrently "M4 Blueprint" but holo sight = "Holo sight BP"
so check them ingame

 

The patch today, even after updating Oxide, has somehow broke this mod as it is not functioning in game. Loot table that worked before does not function at all as the game as gone back to default loot tables. I had turn my server off ASAP. Does this mod need a update or is there a change that needs to be made in the loot table txt?

 

What does this mean

ERROR: Lua error (lootspawnlists: [string "C:\TCAFiles\Users\reu_koster694\108\save\oxid..."]:48: attempt to index field 'obj' (a nil value)
ERROR: at NLua.Lua.ThrowExceptionFromError (Int32 oldTop) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

it was working before the update now the lootspawnlist isnt working
even when i put in a JSON file i know works i get that error

 

Really plugin broken? :O

 

I just know my server with a perfect loot table after the patch had playeres immediately looting blue prints, guns, ammo, etc that I had expressly changed in the loot table.

 

Also all my other oxide plugins are working, just not the custom loot table!

 

may @thomasfn need to take a look...
