Howto setup Custom Loot with DZE_MissionLootTable

[Revoplay]

Any Hints or something?

 

I found this in dayz_code

if (DZE_MissionLootTable) then {
	_config = missionConfigFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot";
} else {
	_config = configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot";
};

But how?

 

I think missionConfigFile will be init.sqf, but then? And with files do i need?

Used this to change the loot table on zombies but the custom loot is also spawning on the ground in buildings even tho I haven't changed the buildings config file. Any idea on how to fix this?

 

Most of the buildings and zombies share the same 'loot tables'.

The pilot, Police and a hunter zombies zombies  (I think) are the only one with custom loot tables.

The rest use default loot tables like 'military' etc

1. Make a new folder in your mission file called "loottables". copy the hpp files from here https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/tree/master/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgBuildingLoot into your loottable folder.

 

Is that the file with the init, missions, modules, etc folders? Also, that file can't be found on Github anymore.

When I used the old mod to customize loot it used to be that building loot was controlled only by CfgBuildingLoot.hpp. If anyone has a workaround please share it.

Having trouble getting this to work. When I log into my panthera server I get stuck on the splash screen.

I am using the 3 files above and have everything in the right place (checked enough times).

 

I checked my RPT and was given this error.

 

1:34:47 Error in expression <rea= 1500; 

DZE_MissionLootTable = true

MaxVehicleLimit = 300; 

MaxDynamicDebris>

 1:34:47   Error position: <MaxVehicleLimit = 300; 

MaxDynamicDebris>

 1:34:47   Error Missing ;

 1:34:47 File mpmissions\__cur_mp.panthera2\init.sqf, line 29

 

Any ideas?

Obviously not enough times..... embarrassing :P 

Thanks Fr1nk

[calamity]

could somebody post the full install instructions to how to get this working, its kinda scattered here and there...

 

what I tried didnt work server wouldnt load... but I found the instructions on this page and page 1 and im sure I am missing something...

 

in my init I added

DZE_MissionLootTable = true;

 

in description.ext I added  after enableItemsDropping=0;

#include "loottables\CfgBuildingLoot.hpp"   

 

I created a folder in mission root named loottables 

in loottables folder I placed

CfgBuildingLoot.hpp

CfgBuildingPos.hpp

CfgLoot.hpp

[cen]

you're missing CfgLootSmall.hpp

[calamity]

you're missing CfgLootSmall.hpp

thankz but where can I find this CfgLootSmall.hpp

its not in the github I found, nor is it in the code

 

and will these files I download work for panthera epoch 1.0.4.2 ???  or do I have to find panthera specific files

like the CfgLootPos.hpp has positions in it or is that the posistion in the building..

still verry confused

 

I just found this link with all the files there but not sure if it works for panthera epoch 1.0.4.2

it says 

CfgLootPos.hpp added some loot positions for Napf and some more in farm building

 

https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/tree/Release_1.0.4.2/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgBuildingLoot

[cen]

Those are it

[calamity]

are any of the files map specific ??

do I have to call the other files like this.......... or only if I change something in the file ?

#include "loottables\CfgBuildingPos.hpp"  /// coord numbers lead me to believe its map specific

 

#include "loottables\CfgBuildingLoot.hpp"  

#include "loottables\CfgLoot.hpp"  

#include "loottables\CfgLootSmall.hpp"  

 

can I only change loot and chances in CfgBuildingLoot and not change other loots files ?

[cen]

The positions are based on the building/object so it has nothing to do with a specific map.

 

You only need to include the CfgBuildingLoot.hpp in your description.ext and then add the variable to init.sqf

 

You can change any of the 4 files. If you are modding the CfgBuildingLootPos.hpp file then you'll need to change the call at the bottom of the CfgBuidlingLoot.hpp file that's currently commented out.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Any chance someone that has this working could start a new post, with clear instructions from the last couple pages? Seems a little scattered and hard to follow.

Not sure what is going wrong here. Have any of you seen this before?

 

Error in expression <eight = round ((_itemChances select _l) * 100);

for "_k" from 0 to _weight - 1 d>

  Error position: <* 100);

for "_k" from 0 to _weight - 1 d>

  Error *: Type String, expected Number

File z\addons\dayz_code\init\loot_init.sqf, line 75

[BetterDeadThanZed]

If I also want to edit CfgLoot.hpp, do I just put that also in my loottables folder, then add #include "loottables\CfgLoot.hpp" to my description.ext file?

[Tobias Solem]

The loot tables are really unspecific when it comes to what spawns in what building.

 

Military Industrial? or Industrial Military? Wat?

 

I wish there was a comprehensive list which buildings referred to what category in the loot tables.

I just set up my custom loot tables and I'm getting the exact same error. I've customized CfgBuildingLoot and CfgLoot. Both are located in the loottables folder. At the bottom of CfgBuildingLoot, I added: #include "CfgLoot.hpp"

 

Any ideas?

[cen]

init.sqf:

DZE_MissionLootTable = true; //Custom Loot Tables

 

description.ext

enableItemsDropping=0;
//INSERT AFTER ^
#include "FOLDERWHERELOOTFILESAREINMISSIONPBO\CfgBuildingLoot.hpp"

 

Copy these 3 files to whatever folder in mission that matches the path above ^

 

https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/tree/Release_1.0.4.2/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgBuildingLoot

 

Done.

 

If you want to change the building position loot you need the 4th file (CfgLootPos.hpp) then you need to open up CfgBuildingLoot.hpp and change the call at the bottom and copy the file into the mission folder where the other 3 files are:

#include "CfgLootPos.hpp"
//If you want to copypast your loottable to your mission w/o
//changing something on the lootPos then use the a include instead of copypasting the CfgLootPos.hpp

//#include "\dayz_epoch_b\CfgLootPos.hpp"

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I found I was using the wrong CfgLoot file. Not sure where I got it, but I downloaded the one from here and it seems to fix the problem: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/tree/Release_1.0.4.2/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgBuildingLoot. At the bottom of CfgBuildingLoot, I put this:

 

//#include "\dayz_epoch_b\CfgLootPos.hpp"
#include "CfgLoot.hpp"

 

I put CfgLoot.hpp and CfgLootSmall.hpp in the same folder as the CfgBuildingLoot.hpp file.

 

Hope that helps someone else. :)

On the github it's important you are using the ones I linked.

 

They are moving to the 1.8 dayz loot in epoch 1.0.5 which is completely different.

I apparently linked the same ones you did.

Can someone post the updated links and full tutorial on this? It's most likely the only thing left to do on my server.
