grafzahl Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Guys,i noticed the new lootMultiplier Option inside the epochconfig.hpp - To give it a try i lowered the number to 0.0001 and restarted my dev server. I didnt notice any change in loot-drop... the loot-containers dropped like normal, the loot inside it also wasnt lowered. Then i changed it to 1, same... not more or less loot then before.Then i looked into the client-side code (masterLoop), and i couldnt find any code that requests the actual lootMultiplier. Is it possible that the variable isnt used yet and is just a placeholder?Another question: Would it be possible to allow us our own version of the CfgBuildingLootPos class like in A2 Epoch, so we can change/add which typ of containers are possible to drop in which type of houses? Because i want to bring back the old epoch feeling (HC-Weapons only in baracks and stuff like that), but because nearly every type of loot container can drop anywhere, this currently isnt possible. Also its not possible to add loot to not yet configured house-classes on new maps. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prone Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I think you're looking in the wrong config. Try a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo > configs > loots.h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 There is a loot multiplier option inside the epochconfig.hpp : lootMultiplier = 0.5; // 1 = max loot bias loot.h is for per item spawning, loot multiplier is for everything I also like the idea of the CfgBuildingLootPos, so we can define what spawns where :) prone, grafzahl and stonXer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuBz Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 The old a2 epoch loot spawner is available here somewhere as I have had it on my server from day 1 or close to.. gives normal a3 epoch as normal but with extra loot defined in that config.. loot that spawns laying on the ground a2 styleee:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafzahl Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 There is a loot multiplier option inside the epochconfig.hpp : lootMultiplier = 0.5; // 1 = max loot biasloot.h is for per item spawning, loot multiplier is for everything I also like the idea of the CfgBuildingLootPos, so we can define what spawns where :)From my POV, lootMultiplier should effect the amount of dropped lootContainers, while the loottable in loots.h will effect whats spawns when you click "Search". So Zero should mean "No Loot at all" and 1 "Lootcrates everyhwere" - But currently the value doesnt do anything.Would be great if a dev would take a look on it :)CfgBuildingLootPos would be cool, even when i know its a lot harder to get the right coordinates for all the types of boxes... a bed blocking a doorway wouldnt be nice ;) But it would be great for now have the ability to just delete all the weapon-blackboxes from all other houses then baracks and let 50cals only spawn inside the weapon-cases... so we can create some kind of "all-time-hotspots" like in A2 Epoch.

vbawol Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 lootMultiplier only effects the amount of loot inside a Epoch loot container, we will be exposing the rest of the configs for things like this soon. grafzahl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
