Hello, I'm asking this question as an administrator on a server that has the premium version of raidable bases. The other admin is the one who paid for the plugin, so I don't know if that affects if my question can be asked here. I can get you any information you need to verify that I own the premium version of this plugin.

We're seemingly having an issue on our server, where the loot tables are not dropping items as desired/intended. For our Loot Tables, we designed a spreadsheet to help with modifying the items, quantities, and probablities. And we also created a parser for said spread sheet, which can be located here: https://github.com/Krythic/LootTable-Spreadsheet-Parser/blob/master/Raidable%20Bases%20Spreadsheet%20Parser/Program.cs

And here is a screenshot of our spreadsheet:




There is nothing wrong with the parser.

The issue is that the loot tables are not spawning items with 100% probability. (Our parser normalizes the spread sheet to the 0-1 range). So looking at the spread sheet, you will see that ores have a 100% chance of spawning. This behavior is not reciporcated in game, however. We have several instances where Ores are not present within bases. After debugging for quite some time, we realized that the Easy bases (what we're using for our testing grounds), are spawning 30 items. This aligns with the Easy Bases profile json. So the problem seems to be that the plugin is using a roulette system for item selection, which means the intended implemenation of our moderators is not being realized. We wanted to know if there is a workaround for this. We also tried moving the loot table over to Base_Loot, because we saw a boolean property there that says the Base_Loot for Easy will always drop. This still doesn't seem to work in a linear fashion. We want the entire loot table to drop, and obey the probabilities that we have set.

hi, Always Spawn Base Loot Table with loot in the base loot tables does work. otherwise items are prioritized as stated in the documentation, Base Loot => Difficulty Loot => Weekday Loot => Default Loot

where then probability determines if its added to a pool, and then these are added to the raids loot table. it's then checked for size and resized regardless of priority. it is intended to work this way until i rewrite it to determine the size beforehand. there's a lot of factors that complicate this from being implemented, such as stacksizes.

when i rewrite it then you won't have issues with probability not having priority due to the table being resized, because it won't be resized.

it is intended that items that should always spawn be in the base loot table, and everything else in the difficulty loot table. 


Merged post

furthermore, its not clear cut. you cannot configure it to simply work based on probability. all items start with 1.0 (100%) probability. there are 600+ items. if you have 100 set to spawn out of 600 in your loot table then you cannot possibly get all 600 to spawn. you cannot select from the top probability either, otherwise the same exact items would spawn every single time, and the remaining would never spawn. therefore it must work for any amount by randomly selecting which spawn, and then factoring in probability.

the way it works now is not ideal but it does work as intended until i rewrite it.
