uMod - Plugin Doesn't Use Custom Loot Tables - Fancy Drop

Posted 2 years ago

I am trying to get the custom in-plugin loot table to work for the direct drops but nothing I do works. I have read elsewhere that the plugin creates a FancyDrop.json file in the data folder when it first starts up, but despite reinstalling this several times I can never get this file to appear. I wonder if that is what is breaking it. I am using MagicLoot and wonder if that might be the problem.

The relevant parts of my FancyDrop.json in config are:

"dropdirect": {
"minCrates": 1,
"maxCrates": 1,
"cratesGap": 50,
"despawnMinutes": 15,
"crateAirResistance": 2.0,
"useCustomLootTable": true,
"CustomLootListName": "dropdirect",
"planeSpeed": 65,
"additionalheight": 0
},

* * *

{
"DropType Name": "dropdirect",
"Minimum amount of items to spawn": 3,
"Maximum amount of items to spawn": 3,
"Custom Loot Contents": [
{
"Shortname": "syringe.medical",
"Minimum amount of item": 2,
"Maximum amount of item": 6,
"Skin ID": 0,
"Display Name": null
},
{
"Shortname": "largemedkit",
"Minimum amount of item": 1,
"Maximum amount of item": 2,
"Skin ID": 0,
"Display Name": null
},
{
"Shortname": "largebackpack",
"Minimum amount of item": 1,
"Maximum amount of item": 1,
"Skin ID": 0,
"Display Name": null
}
]
},

Fancydrop uses the CONFIG not the DATA folder.
And you have the maximum amount set to 3 when you have optioned a maximum of 6 for one item (?)

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't work whether I have a maximum of 3 or maximum of 6. I have 3 items in my loot table, one of which should give a quantity of from 2 to 6 of that item. No matter how I set this in terms of minimum and maximum quantities it still doesn't work. Do you know if there's a conflict with Magic Loot? Thanks so much!

I have always used BetterLoot and CustomLoot so i dont know about MagicLoot, I suppose you could always try disabling the setting in MagicLoot, "Enabled": false ,

"supply_drop": {
      "Enabled": true,
      "Extra Items Min": 0,
      "Extra Items Max": 0,
      "Loot Multiplier": 1.0,
      "Utilize Vanilla Loot Tables on Default Loot": true,
      "Utilize Vanilla Loot Tables on Extra Loot": true,
      "Utilize Random Rarity (depending on Items ALREADY in the container)": true,
      "Rarity To Use (ONLY if 'Utilize Vanilla Loot Tables' is FALSE & 'Utilize Random Rarity' is FALSE | 0 = None, 1 = Common, 2 = Uncommon, 3 = Rare, 4 = Very Rare)": [
        1,
        2,
        3,
        4

Oh my God! That actually worked! I'm embarrassed to say I never thought of that but I don't really know MagicLoot other than I configured it to make my server a 5X and left it at that. I wasn't aware it could be turned off individually like that.

Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!! I'm sorry to have bothered you with something as obvious as that in retrospect but genuinely appreciate your assistance!
