uMod - LootTable.json config overwritten by default - Better Loot

Hello, i've been having an issue with my .json file. I have navigated to https://blmc.artemdanilkin.ru/ and exported a custom .json file. I then navigated to data/BetterLoot but the first thing i noticed the file names are DIFFERENT. The plugin creates a LootTable.json whereas the service here https://blmc.artemdanilkin.ru/ exports a LootTables.json ...

1. I've tried removing the original LootTable.json and uploading the LootTables.json - it recreates LootTable.json
2. I've got the exported file and copied the contents from notepad and pasted them into the plugins LootTable.json - it recreates the original file
3. I've tried formatting using a json validator, claims to be valid and fixed the formatting however when i copy the contents over - The plugin .json recreates the original..

Here is the LootTables.json file generated by the website: Pastebin to .JSON

i do unload the plugin before editing and have tried stopping also but the file keeps reverting back.. i've tried deleting the plugin,config files and redoing but the same outcome

Can anybody help me please?

Thanks

Make sure that you've added , at the end of each specified loot. I had this problem & if there's an error in the formatting, it resets to default. Which is highly annoying. My issue was I forgot to add , at the end of the specified new loot. That & failure to specify the quantity min & max was my other stupid error. Example

},
"smgbody": {
"Max": 2,
"Min": 1
}

Make sure the last } doesn't have , after it. Also, make sure if you've extended the list. Where the original ended. Make sure you put , so it continue's. The only reason it overwrites to default is if there's an error in the formatting. As for the tool used for editing. I only use notepad++ & it works great!
