How to get CustomLoot and BotReSpawn to work together?

Hi,
There are no instructions because all the setup is done in CustomLoot. 

In CustomLoot config you have all the crate/barrel/corpse types listed.
BotReSpawn is in that list.

If you want to see every profile rather than just one all-encompassing BotReSpawn entry, set corpseTypePerBotReSpawnProfile to true,
and reload CustomLoot.
You should see all your BotReSpawn profiles in the CustomLoot config file now.

 

Rust_Loot_Source in BotReSpawn isn't relevant to this, but you can use it in addition to give your bots vanilla stuff as well..

Have you read through the CustomLoot overview?
It's not the most intuitive plugin in the world but the basics are laid out there.

Do you use AlphaLoot by any chance?

It'll be supported in the next update.
BotReSpawn will be giving users a per-profile option to let AlphaLoot handle your Rust_Loot_Source selection, instead of just giving vanilla.

Just mentioning it in case you're an AlphaLoot user already, about to waste a lot of time.

No problem. Just thought I'd check.

Open up CustomLoot config file and enter a made up name for 'lootTable', for the category you want to work with - In your case, some BotReSpawn profile.
When you save that config file and reload CustomLoot, CustomLoot will create a loot table of that name under /data/CustomLoot

 

Let's say you're doing custom loot for Airdrop npcs,
it'll look like this

 

"BotReSpawn-AirDrop": {
  "enabled": true,
  "lootTable": "AD_Table",
  "maxItems": 2,
  "minItems": 1,
  "gunsWithAmmo": false,
  "noGuns": false,
  "MaxBps": 3,
  "WaterPreFillPercent": 20,
  "ClearContainerFirst": true
},

Now when you save that and reload CustomLoot, it'll create AD_Table.json for you.

Loottables need set up from scratch, so open that file ^.

CustomLoot chooses its items by picking a category first, based on your probabilities,
then picking an item from that category, again based on your probabilities.

 

If you set Resources probability 49 and Tool probability 1, CustomLoot is going to spit out a resource 49 times out of 50,
assuming you have some resources with probability greater than one.

If you set charcoal to 100 and wood to 1, you've made resources very common, but wood very rare, see?

I never said it was simple.

 

No worries.
Let me know if you run into any issues.
I know the balancing isn't exactly intuitive - It was made more by request than for ease of use...it works for some people.
