[suggestion] 0.3 More Control over loot spawning

[second_coming]

I have been investigating performance issues on my server and have narrowed down lag spikes to the LSDeleter.SQF in the LootSpawner script I use (it happens every 60 seconds). Disabling Lootspawner stops the spikes altogether.

What I would like to be able to do is stop using lootspawner but I have it customised in a way that currently isn't possible with the default loot spawn system (even with the additions already in 0.3).

Would it be possible to add in the functionality of having server customisable building class lists set to spawn specific classes of items?

eg. as per lootspawner config

 //    Lootspawner junction list for buildings to classes
//    Author: Na_Palm (BIS forums)
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//"Buildingstoloot_list" array of [buildingname, class]
//                                buildingname:     building class name (in editor debug console use "typeof BIS_fnc_camera_target"
//                                                to monitor and then copy/paste or any other method you know...)
//                                class:             0-civil, 1-military, ... (add more as you wish)
//
//!!!EVERY building must have only ONE entry here AND been in ONE class!!!

I currently have Lootspawner configured to do the following:

medical buildings: medical items (fak, heat pack etc)

military buildings: weapons and ammo

civilians buildings: clothing,bags,food,drink and low level weapons and ammo (eg. Rollins)

industrial buildings: building materials

bars/pubs, supermarkets and fast food places: food and drink

garages: vehicle repair parts

I'm making some changes to the deleter.  Won't have time to test it until tomorrow though.  Will let you know if it works or not and if so whether there's any performance increase.

Loot classes per building type is on our todo list and will be likely added very soon.

Yay!

What might help you currently is cut the loot spawner distance down to about 25m. You don't notice the difference as a player but it stops spawning of buildings 2 street blocks away. Only the office building you end up having to walk inside of before it spawns, but I noticed big improvements. Was having massive kicks every 5 minutes and was trying to find culprit so did a bunch of cut backs... ended up being the "Indestructible Buildings" pbo that runs every 5 minutes that dropped my server fps to single digits  :P

But ya, a bunch of my old dayz players have stated they hate the vanilla epoch system... "Finding an M107 in a house's garage makes hitting military complexes worthless" was 1 comment. Why i rely more on the ground spawn loot system currently.

Thats good to know, per building classname would work a treat, would this also allow for moded items (such as classes from addons @Mass for example) to be added and show up in furniture? it would make it more tidy, I prefer seeing those items in furniture rather than on the floor as the case is with Lspawner...
