I have not many ideas what ive done so far but i can show u what ive done through discord soap#3011
Need help, unsure how to describe it
I dont use discord but my best advice is delete Betterloot data folder, then delete config folder and then remove the plugin.
When that is done reinstall the plugin, when you have confirmation that it is installed go to the CONFIG Betterloot config .json file and edit rarity file to your liking and save file. Then open the DATA Betterloot data folder and open the NAMES list, COPY that list to a "new text document" on your desktop, Then do the same with the LOOTLIST, (its easier to work with that way).
go through the names list and copy to yet another new text document all the items you specifically want added to loot containers, THEN open the loot list TEXT document and go through all the loot containers and add and remove items to it to your liking, IT is important to make sure you use the same formatting that is in the list or it wil just go to default when loaded.
After you have completed this long slow task , check it with a .json validator, if its green (good json) then open the DATA Betterloot Lootlist data file and replace original list with your new one and save it , then open console and type oxide.reload BetterLoot and it should all go well, IF ITS red (bad json) go through the "checked" list (it should be below your submitted list) and note where the mistakes are (missing comma's or double quotes) and correct them in your list then process it again, continue with this till you get a good validation and then follow the previous steps,
The names list will give you the "short name" and the "long name" you only use the shortname in the loot list, just watch the formatting and it is usefull in most cases to just replace the original item (you dont want) with the name of the item you do want in the loot list and changing the amount if necessary..
