Loot Spawn Lists [Unmaintained]

1:10 PM: ERROR: lootspawnlists: Couldn't find datablock by name 'nil'! not sure what this means

 

think i fixed it..[DOUBLEPOST=1412097736][/DOUBLEPOST]yea i forgot to upload the correct config.

 

Hi All -

So I'm in the process of setting up a battlefield server. Ideally I want to have it drop lots of ammo & medkits and some weapons (though M4/Bolt Action will be rare-ish).

I've made a configuration file but it seems to throw up ONLY empty boxes over and over again. I've spent literally hours on this now and I'd like your help if possible. It validates fine on JSONT checker so I'm really not sure what the problem is.

 

I had this to and i noticed that it was because the table aint add up to 100%

so this

Code:

 "JunkSpawnList":
   {
        "packages":
        {
            "1": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 30, "object": "AmmoSpawnList" },
            "2": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 30, "object": "WeaponSpawnList" },
            "0": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 30, "object": "LeatherArmorLootList" }
        },
        "nodupes": false,
        "max": 3,
        "oneofeach": true,
        "min": 1
    },

was giving me empty boxes but this

Code:

 "JunkSpawnList":
   {
        "packages":
        {
            "0": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 30, "object": "AmmoSpawnList" },
            "1": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 30, "object": "WeaponSpawnList" },
            "2": { "max": 1, "min": 1, "weight": 40, "object": "LeatherArmorLootList" }
        },
        "nodupes": false,
        "max": 3,
        "oneofeach": true,
        "min": 1
    },

Should do the trick its now 100%

 

Maybe because your first table has 1,2,0 instead of 0,1,2 ? -_-

 

This number is the index for the table and the order shouldnt matter. It also shouldnt matter if the weight is 100 or not.

 

Well i have tested severall things with it.

And if i dont put the 0 as first then it would just spawn empty boxes. And in server console an message with massive fuck up.
So i changed it to 0/1/2 and also making sure it was 100% for my own so i can easly say the rates and the problem was gone.

 

Hello, is there topically plugin this can use around loot_tables to use?
Beauty greets from Germany

 

How do you mean by topically?

 

Does anyone have an enhanced loot table cfg file that is fairly easy to find loot and not too op that i can have?

I have been looking for a while now and couldn't find one that suited me.

Thanks in advanced.

-EDIT- Still had no luck.. need one asap please if anyone can help..

 

Your best bet is to just make it yourself. Most of the loot lists being used are for mass loot servers, and are pretty op

 

The bathing is when I do make one it fails ;p

 

Hello,

I want to little increase loot on my server..
Can you help me how?[DOUBLEPOST=1413046333][/DOUBLEPOST]

I have installed Loot Spawn List, what next?

 

I am a noob at running a server and I use the loots spawnlists mod I don't completely under stand how to use it. Every time i run the plugin with my pre made loot_tables.txt I only see increased drop on some crates not on animals, i think it has to do with an error that says [Oxide] lootspawnlist: Couldn't find datablock by name 'nil'! I wanted to know if someone could fix my problem, upload a pre-made mass loot drop loot_table.txt , or if there is just and easier plugin that will allow you to do this.

 

Search on internet for : online json validation.
To see if your .txt is conform to json format.
Animal loots are something like AILoot (or something like that, but it's called AI something)
There are tutoriels on this forum for it, and premade .cfg (in configurations forum) to see how it works.

 

First your txt file wasnt json compatible (there was a "," missing)

second, If i remember right there is a line in weapongspawnlist "nil" you simply need to remove it

As Reneb said use online json editor!!!! really helpful

here is your file with correction.

From there... learn how to config the file to your needs!

 

Thanks for the help guys

 

Guys I need help, how i edit airdrop?
Give me please one functional example.

And why is in some .txt supplyA, supplyB, supplyC and supplyD?

 

Here are some tips

there is 5 kind of loot for airdrop (A B C D E) each containt what there will be in the drop, you can add items, remove items, change qty.

SupplyDropSpawnListMaster let you set the % chance of drop for each "kind", the number there isn't really %.

use a online json editor/validator !

The best way to learn is to try by yourself! That what I did when I've started as an admin/owner
