Not working

Hi,
I'd recommend starting off with as simple a table as possible, just for testing.
 

When NPCRandomRaids makes a call for loot, using the profile name you put in its config,
CustomLoot will check for an existing profile of that name and use it, if it exists,
or notify you that it doesn't exist and create it in the config under 'API'.

For testing I'd do the latter (use a name that doesn't exist) so that creation of a new API entry is confirmation of things working.
You will need to kill a random raid npc, though, to trigger creation of the new entry.

You'd then need to go and find that config entry in /oxide/config/CustomLoot.json.
and specify a valid loot table name for it, save the file, then reload CustomLoot plugin.

If you enter a loot table name that doesn't exist, CustomLoot will create a brand new default (all 0) loot table .json for you in /oxide/data/CustomLoot/

Again, I'd do the latter for testing - Enter a name that doesn't exist, so that creation of the new loottable/file is confirmation of things working.

Once you have a profile and loot table,
go in to the /data/CustomLoot/YourNewName.json loot table and find categories > Resources to probability '1' (near the top)
then scroll down to find the wood item under Resources and set that to probability  '1'.
Save + reload CustomLoot.

You should now have a loot table that always gives out wood.


If that doesn't work come back and let me know and we'll try to figure out why.
If it does work, at least now you know and you can start customising that table the way you want it.

Ok.
You can certainly use CustomLoot to only affect npcs.
By default it affects nothing so you have to manually enable and set up the various container/corpse types.

Whether CustomLoot will work nicely with MagicLoot, or any other loot plugin...I can't say for sure.
If magic loot is only meant to affect crates then it sounds like there shouldn't be a problem,
but you could temporarily unload MagicLoot (and any other loot plugins) just for confirmation.

Can you give more detail?
Did CustomLoot notify you in console that the profile (specified in your npc plugin config) didn't exist,
then create that entry under its config/API section?

After typing in your own lootTable name for that profile and reloading CustomLoot, did it create a corresponding /data/Custom/NameHere.json?

"And even with the config disabled the loot doesn't go back to vanilla."
 

Makes me think you're seeing loot from some other plugin.
Unload all plugins except CustomLoot on a test environment, or main server when there's no pop.

I'd even test with some less complicated loot source - like manually spawning crate-elite, or something that is unused on your server.

If you can't get the example I outlined to consistently give nothing but wood item, then something's not right.

Forget about number of items min/max, for now.
With a wood-only loot table it might give 10, 15, 30, 20 and 5 wood..You'll just see that as 80 wood.
