Soo me and my friend been working on making this work for our server. So far we got wrecked by it.

We got already somewhere further.. but now we rly stuck. The file LootTable.json if we are correct that is the file we need to edit to make the loot better right?

Now when we do that.. We restart server that file LootTable.json automatically changes again to the default file. How to solve this? Or are we wrong we need to edit this file???

Plz help us fast.. We hoped to make it work tomorrow so we could go live for public..

Greetings Robin

When a .json file gets reset to default, that generally means it was invalid JSON (not edited right). Make sure to follow the same formatting as the default, and check to make sure it is valid JSON.

LootTable.json will only reset if there's a syntex error. Would be nice if the plugin responded with syntex error rather than just resetting it. But there you go. I have a very bad habit habit of adding new loot to a specific list. But failing to add , to condinue the list or having , at the end of the last one. Silly errors but we're all human. 

I have however discovered a conflict. This plugin does not work with SimpleLoot plugin. One will override the other depending on which loads first when the server restarts. But, you don't need to restart the server to reload the plugin to use the updated config files. All you need to do in the server consol or if your admin is put oxide.reload Pluginname & thats it. It is case sensative, so for this plugin. It would be Oxide.reload BetterLoot & it will then adopt the changes.
