Spelling error leads to no Chainsaws spawning

I've had 20+ guys searching for one and even loot cycling for hours and not found a single one.  The only ones that are on the server was from a server event where the winners got a chainsaw.

 

I've found 60+ of everything that spawn in barns and no chainsaws.  That's not rare, that's non-existent.

It would help if you copied the relevant lines that you think have typos in them.  The only references to the chainsaw I see in spawn_loot.sqf are

		if (_iItem == "Chainsaw") then {
			_iItem = ["ChainSaw","ChainSawB","ChainSawG","ChainSawP","ChainSawR"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

Looks fine as far as I can tell.

Couple of our players found them too without too much hassle.

Remember it's FARM loot, not BARRACKS loot.. maybe your guys are looking in the wrong places?

 

I have the same problem.

I've been powerlooting for 12 hours straight now between 6 Farm loot spots.

Found 10 sledgehammer handles, 4 cz550 and many many shotguns.

 

No chainsaw.

 

Went to a supermarket just to make sure, and did find 2 cycle mix.

But the chainsaw spawn is either bugged or ridiculosly rare.

Rare droprates are fine, but not like this.

Check your RPT log to see if there are errors regarding the chainsaw. if there is a spelling mistake, the game will error trying to load something that doesnt exist and spit out the error into the RPT log.

Surely just because you haven't found one doesn't mean they don't spawn.

 

If it's your server, spawn one in through SQL or something to ensure they're working on your server?

Confirmed looking only in Farm loot.

 

Confirmed 3 days and no spawn.

 

what gives?

 

I think you guys may have hackers spawning them in and saying they found them.  I can spawn them in with admin tools.  I'm just not seeing them spawn in the loot.

 

Help would be appreciated.

My server is whitelisted and the players that have found them are trusted members of my community. I do not believe they are using cheat tools to spawn them in.

Sure my adminteam is hacking and spawning the Chainsaw ;) , I can say that the chainsaw has been found on my server, I can't say what's going on your server.

Theres an easy way to check if it spawns.

I would simply increase the spawn rate temporarily.

 

Only problem is that I can't find the loot table in dayz_code.pbo/config, theres only a cfgworlds folder.

Can anyone tell me where I can find it?

To explain this why so many doesnt find an Chainsaw:

 

The Chance that on a Loot Spot in a Farmbuilding spawns Loot is 50%

The Chance that from this spawned Loot something is from the Class farmweapons is 18%

The Chance that from this spawned farmweapons the chainsaw will spawn is 1%

is this first line mispelt? should it be 

if (_iItem == "ChainSaw") then {

not

 if (_iItem == "Chainsaw") then {

edit: Didn't realize this post was so old..
