Any way to block damage to monsters from mounts? Have some ppl that like to cheese bosses with attack helis

Best way to do that would be with a plugin like TruePVE in my opinion. In my experience players are always going to try to find an easy way to do things it's somewhat inevitable, but this way you can block some of the cheesier ways to attack a boss!

Can we force the new wolves to spawn instead of the old ones?

Will add this to our notes and suggestions, I'm sure he already has plans to do this for the few plugins that use wolves though.

Does Skill Tree allow custom files, for example can it give rewards based on an NPCs 'name'?

Off the top of my head I don't think SkillTree is specifically written into the plugin I know at least 1 or 2 plugins have been added over time as far as rewarding points of some kind for killing. I feel like SkillTree might have the customization configuration options but if not let us know especially if you've reached out to that developer and gotten any feedback from them let us know.

Better NPC has the ability to clone what we are wearing and copy it to the NPC. This can also be done for the belt. Is there a way to do this for Bossmonster also?

If not, why not?? Lol.

I can add something about this to our notes, I don't recall this ever being added for BossMonster. I don't believe it is for any reason that I can explain. There are less bosses to deal with though where in BetterNpc there are quite a few presets to work with.

If you have any problems with configuring them yourself let me know.

I know its way less convenient but it only takes a few more minutes, can make your boss kit on yourself, then check all the item shortnames here https://www.corrosionhour.com/rust-item-list/

then add them to each boss config, I know you gotta go get skinID's from steam and that's anotehr 10 mins of work per set, if you know what skins you are using.

Alternatively you can make a kit very quickly and I think BossMonster allows you to set a kit for the boss in the config iirc,
so you dont have to write every item shortname, mods, amount, items and skinids

Honestly I've even had people say that they will use their Kit plugin to create a kit, then go to the config file for it to grab all of the short.names and skin IDs. Almost sounds like a lot of work for me but whatever works on your end works for me!

Thank you for the additional ideas and tips!

I have purchased the pve mode plugin, how does the plugin work with pve mode?
Does it set an event owner like convoy?

PveMode will lock the bosses from BossMonster to the person (or team) who does the most damage.

It works the same way with BetterNpc.

Hello. Thank you for the great plugin.This is my first time using a mod, so I have a few questions.
-How to place a boss in a specified location.
-How to make the same boss appear after being defeated.
-How to set the boss's strength.
-A command to grant permissions to set things within the server.
Example: oxide.grant group admin <permissions>
-How to set the items dropped by the boss.
I know you're busy, but I look forward to your reply.

For placing the bosses location there are two options. For a place in a Facepunch monument you would use the command in the Description. For a place in a custom location you would use the custom file, a blank ID will allow the file to load on any map and you would use the position on the map in this case.

Each boss file has configuration options such as the bosses damage and health. The main configuration will have information such as the amount of bosses that appear at once so to have the same boss appear you would want to configure this in a way that will be possible. Such as disabling bosses you do not want to use if you have a lower number of bosses at any specific time.

There are no permissions for the plugin.

And for the bosses loot you will configure this in the individual boss files.

Hopefully those answers help. Feel free to join the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket there if you need additional assistance.

There are two version of the plugin and it sounds like you installed the wrong version of the plugin. Redownload if needed and make sure to grab the plugin from the EN folder.

How to add the location of a BOSS at an underground train station?

Is it custom or a Facepunch monument? If you mean the basic underground train station you can use the command in the Description. Just note that this will spawn the boss at any of the same train station, so if there are multiple of that station on the map it will spawn at any of them.

Check the navigation type and options such as the one that is used for NPCs spawning in underground or under terrain locations as it will help to ensure they load properly.

Can we make/add new bosses in the data file?

Absolutely. Only thing I would want to note about that is if you use custom map files be sure to change or add their names there. Oh and make sure the file name matches the bosses name inside the file and you're good to go.

Whether it's customized or Facepunch monument. It cannot lay eggs at underground train stations.

Lay eggs?

If it is a Facepunch monument you use the boss file and the command.

If it is a custom monument use the custom map file, and can remove or use a blank ID to have it work on any map.

What I mean is, it cannot be locked in the underground train station to lay eggs. Every time the BOSS lays eggs, it is located underground and does not appear in the underground train station.
 

How to set up a BOSS so that it can attack players' drones?

Sorry, buddy. I know this question might seem really dumb. I want to add a BOSS NPC to my map. But what I did was find my own coordinates, for example (-1689.92, 5.03, 1731.79). I found the NPC configuration file in the Data folder, and then I wrote this in the "List of monument locations":

"List of monument locations": [
  "(-1689.92, 5.03, 1731.79)"
]

Then I reloaded the plugin, but it gave an error. I don’t know how to properly configure this. Please help me out!

I purchased it from lone.design. Since no one has replied to my message there, I wanted to submit it here and give it a try. I can provide an order screenshot.
