Zlevels explanation or information
New to modding, have a friend who is running a Rust Modified server and we want Zlevels.

The Json file is very confusing, and was just wondering if there is any tutorial, information etc!

Thanks,
Tango
Anyone have any info?  Any at all? haha
The best way to find out how the settings in a config work is to change something, reload it, and see what happens. I'll give some tips, though:

Regarding the \oxide\config\ZLevelsRemastered.json

  • The first section "CUI", has the settings for the size, color, and position of the progress bar panel. The Bounds change the size and position.
  • Acquire is picking up resources, Crafting, Mining,  Skinning, Wood Cutting.
  • "M": "0.1 0.5 0.8 0.5",  The four number are RGBA Percent Color Codes: Color Picker Tool The fourth number is the opacity.
  • The "Functions" section just enables/disables the counter for those types of collectables (Acquire)
  • Generic section: If enablePermission is false, everyone gets to use zLevels by default. penaltyOnDeath uses "PercentLostOnDeath": and is to prevent people from killing themselves and farming their own body.
  • Most of the settings describe what they are pretty well, just read them
  • "SkillColors" are the colors of the bars in hex
At first glance it can be intimidating looking at it. Just read each line slowly, it tells you what most settings are. If you have any specific questions feel encouraged to follow up.
Awesome thanks so much Ryan, a few that get me:

"PointsPerHit" - Is this XP or what?

Is there a way to adjust xp needed per level?  

I think I understand more of it now after just staring at it for awhile.  And my friend reloaded the json a few times as we made changes.
But would like to be able to figure out how to slow down or speed up the leveling process.
Indeed, PointsPerHit is the XP per strike of a gathering tool. Changing this would increase or decrease the time it takes to level up. I do not see how much XP is needed for each level. ResourcePerLevelMultiplier, LevelCaps, and PointsPerHit will need to be played with the find the balance you're looking for.
Awesome thanks for all the info, I think I better understand now.

Awesome thanks for all the info, I think I better understand now.

I have mine right next to the health(etc) bars, please note that craft max setting is 20 and i have found that if i set the other levels over 200 gathering seems to decrease if you go over that level (?) anyway here is a copy of the cui config

Hey pookins, throw a pic up?

You will notice that the mining is over 200 , i set it to 300 but found decrease in gather rate so changed the config back
