Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster. (lol)

So I see a lot of people having problems with this, so I decided to post my settings, along with some explanation, and see if I could help. I use Loot Config along with AirdropExtended to configure my server so that guns and explosives drop almost never on ground loot, and very frequently from air drops. I included both files in case you want to use the same setup, but will only go in depth on the lootconfig settings. Send me an inbox if you want to know about airdrop.

So let's dig into LootConfig! The best way I found was to open it in Notepad++, and close all of the parenthesis (- signs to + signs) except the first so you see some organization. Let's dig into each option.

One of the Airfield Spawn Groups
Code:
  "airfield_1_loot_spawner_x11y43z1172": {
      "assets/bundled/prefabs/radtown/crate_normal.prefab": {
        "DestroyOnEmpty": true,
        "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1",
        "MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1,
        "MinSecondsBetweenRefresh": 3600.0,
        "MaxSecondsBetweenRefresh": 7200.0,
        "DistributeFragments": true
      },
      "assets/bundled/prefabs/radtown/crate_normal_2.prefab": {
        "DestroyOnEmpty": true,
        "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown2",
        "MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1,
        "MinSecondsBetweenRefresh": 3600.0,
        "MaxSecondsBetweenRefresh": 7200.0,
        "DistributeFragments": true
      }
    },
So here, we want to make sure each spawn group has
"DestroyOnEmpty": true, - if you want the box destroyed when it's looted
"LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1", - which item list should it choose an item from, more on this later.
"MaxDefinitionsToSpawn": 1, - how many of that type of item you want to spawn in that location, ie, in airfield for this one
"DistributeFragments": true - if you want it to be able to give blueprint fragments. No comma here because it ends the code block.

Now let's look at the next type of config, Item Mod Reveals
Code:
    "blueprint_book.item": {
      "NumForReveal": 1,
      "RevealedItemOverride": null,
      "RevealedItemAmount": 1,
      "AsBlueprint": false,
      "RevealList": "Blueprints.Rare"
"NumForReveal": 1, - how many of the item you need to get a reveal option
"RevealedItemOverride": null, - if you want it to reveal a specific item, and only a specific item, enter it here
"RevealedItemAmount": 1, - if you have put in a specific item, how many should they get. no specific item means you can ignore this (leave it at 1)
"AsBlueprint": false, - if you put a specific item, should it be a blueprint? no specific item, ignore it
"RevealList": "Blueprints.Rare" - which list should it pick an item from (more on this later)

The next type of config is Item Mod Unwraps, and has to do with presents.
Code:
    "present.large.item": {
      "RevealList": "LargeGift-Contents"
    },
"RevealList": "LargeGift-Contents" - pick which item list you want a large present to pick an item from, more on this next

And finally, categories. This is where things can get confusing. There are two types of categories. Let's do this using our example, that Airfield Spawn Group. The first option had "LootDefinition": "LootSpawn.RadTown1", so let's find that loot definition in the code. If we've closed out our parenthesis, it shouldn't be hard to find.
Code:
    "LootSpawn.RadTown1": {
      "Items": [],
      "Blueprints": [],
      "SubSpawn": [
        {
          "Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelBetter",
          "Weight": 10
        },
        {
          "Category": "Collection.Tools",
          "Weight": 20
        },
        {
          "Category": "Collection.Weapons",
          "Weight": 15
        }
      ]
    },
In this code, we see that there are no direct spawns ( "Items": [],) No blueprint spawns ("Blueprints": [],) but we have 3 subspawns.
"Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelBetter",
"Category": "Collection.Tools",
"Category": "Collection.Weapons",

Before I paste what those have, let's look at the weight. We have 10 weight on BarrelBetter, 20 on Tools, and 15 on Weapons. So the total is 45. The RNG will pick a number 1-45, and if it falls between 1-10, it will open BarrelBetter. 11-30 is Tools, and 31-45 is Weapons. The numbers may fall in a different order, but that's the basics. So let's say it generates a 6 and chooses BarrelBetter. We find that in our config file, and here's what we see:
Code:
  "LootSpawn.BarrelBetter": {
      "Items": [],
      "Blueprints": [],
      "SubSpawn": [
        {
          "Category": "Nothing",
          "Weight": 0
        },
        {
          "Category": "LootSpawn.BarrelCommon",
          "Weight": 60
        },
        {
          "Category": "Bow And Arrow",
          "Weight": 6
        },
        {
          "Category": "Items.Common.Tool",
          "Weight": 10
        },
        {
          "Category": "Items.Uncommon.Tool",
          "Weight": 5
        },
        {
          "Category": "Blueprints.Rare",
          "Weight": 3
        },
        {
          "Category": "Blueprints.VeryRare",
          "Weight": 1
        },
        {
          "Category": "Crossbow",
          "Weight": 3
        },
        {
          "Category": "HQMetal",
          "Weight": 5
        }
      ]
    },
I wanted to point this out, because this is one of those loot spawns that by default can spawn with nothing. I have changed this in my config to have a weight of 0. This means it will not, cannot be picked. Loot will not be spawned with nothing in it.

So again, let's add it up....BarrelCommon has 60, Bow and Arrow 6, Common Tool 10, Uncommon Tool 5, Blueprints Rare 3, Blueprints Very Rare 1, Crossbow 3, HQMetal 5. Let's say it goes to Bow and Arrow, so that we can look at the other type of category.

So we find Bow and Arrow in the list, and get...
Code:
    "Bow And Arrow": {
      "Items": [
        {
          "Shortname": "bow.hunting",
          "Amount": 1.0
        },
        {
          "Shortname": "arrow.wooden",
          "Amount": 5.0
        }
      ],Thank you for posting this. It was a light switch in understanding how to handle much of this addon. 
      "Blueprints": [],
      "SubSpawn": []
    },
Here we can see what that category includes, and change how many. So this category includes a hunting bow, amount is one, and wooden arrows, amount is 5. You can see these are under Items, not Subspawn, which is why it's no longer a category picked.

PHEW! I think I covered it all, but I most likely missed something. PLEASE ask questions if you have them.
[DOUBLEPOST=1454572223,1454380980][/DOUBLEPOST]I found that Airdrop Extended is being overwritten by settings inside LootConfig, so I took another look at the config file, and I think I've fixed it so it's all customizable within LootConfig. Testing it, and I'll re-upload if it works.

Any idea how i would set it so the Bradley does not drop an M249 in its loot table? I have tried a few things but to no luck.

[LootConfig] Loot config reloaded.

Is there something I do wrong? I'm using this plugin to adjust the basic lootcrates on a Savas Island map, but it does not reload with the timer, just instant, so everybody gets 4x4 c4 every 10 seconds.

DroplulGaming

Is it possible to get a better cover for the dm-lootboxes?
I'm using a savas island map with custom games, and normaly vanilla style it spawns in 4 boxes of c4 and building rescources on the buildable spot.
The problem here is that the boxes respawn almost instant, what is kinda OP because the c4 crates contains 4 c4 per box.

With this plugin I am able to kinda adjust the loot that it gives, I also managed to make it so none of the respawn,

But this also brings a problem:

- With custom loot spawn of the same box, it sometimes gives half of the loot.
- There are other places on the map using the same box, but with multiple boxes and a chance to spawn, there the box spawns empty if I disable the basic c4 crate on the buildspot.

Only adjusting the loot does not works, the given respawn timer does not work on them, they keep respawning almost instant unless I remove them and make custom spawn points which has it's own respawn timer.

Anyone has a sollution for this?

set the weight to 0, the weight is the chance that item / box will spawn.
