bigpak Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hello everone, I had a question about how the Dayz 1.8 loot system works,Does it re-spawn upon restarts, after a certain amount of time, can it still be farmed? I am wanting to prepare my server and know how this is going to affect loot spawning. Thank you for your time and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wanting to prepare my server and know how this is going to affect loot spawning. Thank you for your time and patience. I think they are only switching to the version 1.8 loot table format, so instead of having a list of items that can spawn, followed by a list of the percentages, the percentages are listed next to the items. Look at Epoch's loot tables and compare it to the Dayz 1.8 loot tables and you'll understand. DanucasB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertcoins Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 wasn't that way implemented in 1.7.7.1 ? My namalsk has the same type of format as epoch does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpak Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 So it doesn't mess with how long loot takes to spawn, or if you can farm it etc? I think I understand what you are saying, just want to be sure whats going on, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My namalsk has the same type of format as epoch does No, Epoch still uses the old loot table format. For example: trash[] = { { "TrashTinCan", "TrashJackDaniels", "ItemSodaEmpty", "ItemTrashToiletpaper", "ItemTrashRazor" }, { 0.5, 0.05, 0.25, 0.10, 0.1 } }; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Some maps have used the "New" way before. Just not Epoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterDeadThanZed Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Some maps have used the "New" way before. Just not Epoch I'm pretty sure that the loot tables are Epoch based and not map based... So wait, will they be making a tutorial on how to do custom loot again? :S I wouldn't know how to figure it out myself which is worrying me The shouldn't need to. The new chances for loot to spawn will be next to the items rather than below it. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
