Smeag updated Meteors with a new update entry:

[SERVER v1.0.20] Console: Meteors.cs(12,29): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `0.1'

 

I just noticed it came to fix.

 

Smeag updated Meteors with a new update entry:

1.0.1

 

did not understand how to choose the loot that dropara the meteor could explain me better? I would like to add ammunition, c4 , cap , ores ...

 

Stunning work guys! I removed the items i didnt want it to drop. hope i didnt mess it up lol
Just wanted it to drop Stone, Coal, metal, ore and amber for now.

 

Holy crap, awesome guys!

 

I do not understand these numbers an "+", can someone explain to me ?

[
"0;87;0.9;5;20;Amber",
"0;87;0.8;15;50;Amber+",
"0;20;1;50;120;Coal",
"0;20;0.8;150;200;Coal",
"0;19;1;30;50;Stone",
"0;19;1;30;50;Stone+",
"0;19;1;30;50;Stone++",
"0;19;1;50;80;Stone+++",
(...)

 

Ok guys, if you want to add/edit items drop in the meteors, do as following:

Open with any text editor the file: "oxide/data/MeteorsLootItems.json"

Inside the brackets, you can see that every lines is with this pattern:
"0;item_id;chance_of_dropping;min_amount;max_amount;description"

For example, if you want to add a Ultranium Ore (code 133) with an amount ranging from 10 to 50, with 30% of chances of dropping in each meteor (chance factor 0.3), add a line like this:

Code:

"0;133;0.3;10;50;Ultranium Ore Drop 1"

The last field is free, just don't use any semicolon inside of it. The "+" i used means only for me to know that it is the bigger stacks amounts, you can write anything there.
Don't use spaces anywhere outside the description. Be carefull to place the semicolons correctly.

 

Any plans to allow multiple loot lists? It'd be kinda cool if a meteor could have an assigned loot list (perhaps associated to the fall site?) or be randomized between however many loot lists you want to create.

 

The fire and the meteor itself don't seem to fall in sync (like in the video), the fire is about 3-4 seconds behind to the point the meteor hits the ground and disappears before there's any fire trail or sound from it. Any idea what causes this? I tried on a remote server and a local one, same thing. Also reset graphics settings to default in both scenarios just in case.

 

What would Changing the value to "MeteorsLootFactor": "1" do. does that mean one of each kind of item will drop and will it be more if you up the number. SOrry to pester.

 

@Smeag
0,1% = 0.001? its work?

 

@Enaxis Bingo. This idea was the reason for the zero in front of each loot line in the loots file. Later I plan to make multiple loot types like you said.

And about the delay in explosions... we saw that happening some times, mostly when the server is lagging. But since last hw updates, it got worse. We already have some good ideas to fix this. I'm busy lately, but I'm anxious to do it, so we may see meteors with better performance soon.

@xXdarrkXx No. This is just a scalar factor applied over the drop chance. 1 is normal, as 2 makes the chance of everything by double. This does not affect the amount of dropped items, only the chance.

@caiio.cos Yes. 0% to 100% as 0.0 to 1.0. Divide the % value by 100 and the result is the factor/rate.

 

Awesome! I was wondering what that 0 was for haha. Can't wait!

Thanks for all the hard work!

 

I want to thank you again for the amazing work on this plug in.. Had a blast with it tonight.

 

It looks amazing and had chance to test it One suggestion I can make is you can implement announcement until next meteor falls. like every 10 min it will tell "Meteor Shower will begin in XX mins". Also I would like to see multiple meteor showers as an automated.It drops only 1 currently but it would be awesome if it would drop 2,3.. randomly.

Also /meteor makes chat freeze as there is so much color codes in it when there is multiple meteors on ground

 

but if it falls on someone's house?
