EpicLoot 1.2.8

Wow! This looks amazing. Fantastic work 

Hello, I really liked the plugin, but there is a problem! After the server is restarted, buffs from items disappear. Can this be fixed?

Hmm they shouldn't. They are based on the name of the items. Is the name still showing as <item type> <item name> [<tier> <value>]?

Great to hear. What was the issue if you don't mind me asking?

I still didn't understand what was the problem.

您好作者，他是否支持防御的自定义加成，例如防御加成百分比，头盔，盔甲等。

Hello author, does he support custom bonuses for defense, such as defense bonus percentage, helmet, armor, etc.

Hey man, I'm really enjoying this plugin, great work. Apologies for the wall of text!

- Some combos that are less than useful can be generated with the default settings. I was finding a "Builder's Rocket Launcher" and an "Animal Tamer's Snowball" which are pretty funny, but you can't practically use them. There's loads of junk items in Rust, so instead of blacklisting all the miscellaneous crap would it be easier to just whitelist the applicable items? I've done this in my config, but thought it may be an easier approach and make things work a little better out of the box. 

- From the video it sounds like skin allocation is random from the lists in the config. Apologies if I missed it, but is there a way to specify which skin each sets use? For example if I want Hunters to use a certain set, is that currently do-able?

- I want to check I understand this field correctly:
"Should we use the default item loot table for the below containers?": true,
How it seems to work is that it won't add an epic version of an item to a container unless that item could normally be found in it. So if M249s don't normally spawn in that crate nobody is going to find an Elemental M249 in there, right? 

- Do you have any plans to develop the crafting aspect more? I'd be interested in a progression system and it'd be cool if the tier of workbench you used when crafting influenced the chances but I'd like to suggest a "meta" gearset - one that provides an extra chance to make Epic Loot, or even specific sets of Epic Loot. Artisan set perhaps?

- I see this message in console irregularly, have I buggered something up with my meddling?

- How do I get other devs to generate Epic Loot in their plugins? I want to put this everywhere, it's such a great reward for players.

Thanks for the plugin!

DOes not support defenses, only perks.

Will add a config option allowing you to specify skins for specific items.

The useless combos were intentional (a lot of games do this). You will need to use the whitelist of the blacklist if you don't want that to be the case.

The explanation for Should we use the default item loot table for the below containers? is correct.

The artisan idea is interesting. I am looking at potentially integrating it with a revamped professions plugin I am planning though, so we will see what becomes of it.

The error may be caused by trying to access an invalid container type.

These are the valid crates that are included by default:

                    ["crate_normal_2"] = 1f,
                    ["crate_normal"] = 3f,
                    ["crate_elite"] = 15f,
                    ["crate_underwater_basic"] = 6f,
                    ["crate_underwater_advanced"] = 12f,
                    ["heli_crate"] = 10f,
                    ["bradley_crate"] = 10f,
                    ["codelockedhackablecrate"] = 10f,
                    ["codelockedhackablecrate_oilrig"] = 10f,
                    ["crate_tools"] = 1.5f

Other devs can use the HookMethod:

public void GenerateItem(BasePlayer player, string type = null, List<string> item_shortname = null, string tier = null, bool msg = false)

Type = the buff type.

List<string> item_shortname is a list of shortnames that we randomly pick from. Only add 1 shortname if you want a guarantee for that item to be picked. Tier is the letter of the tier (s/a/b/c). Msg is the message a player will receive.

Msg returns  a message in the following format "You received: {0}. \n- Tier: {1}. \n- Value: {2}"

Alternatively they can call it via a console command:

"genitem <target ID/name> <optional: item shortname> <optional: enhancement type> <optional: tier>"

Hello author, I have purchased it, I found it is very similar to the skill tree, will it conflict with the skill tree?

Really awesome implementation @imthenewguy! Right now it looks like the names of each enhancement are driving the buff type? Any chance we can do something similar to what you did with Cooking 'Buff Types' and assigning enhancements with digits in the config? Thinking we could use that to make new sets with our choice of buff or change the names of existing ones.

At this point the only thing you can do is set the benefits for wearing x amount of a certain item, and add whatever set bonuses you want to those benefits. May be something I could look at in the future though.

They won't conflict, but you may want to lower the buff modifiers in EpicLoot for Builders, Assemblers and Fabricators buffs due to the nature of the buffs. I had players able to make a profile by crafting/recycling items because the combined values from SkillTree and EpicLoot made them proc way too often.

Awesome plugin - I was able to retire the gatheringclothes plugin and use this exclusively.

I heavily modified Enchanting to provide craftable defensive enhanced attire, but I could see this potentially replacing that. Only problem I have right now is that Enchanting will overwrite an EpicLoot item. Any way you could add an enhancement for melee/projectile damage reduction to EpicLoot?

Have added a new set for melee damage,  a new set for melee defense, and a new set bonus for bullet damage reduction.

Will be in next patch.

That sucks, I have the same/similar problem. I get the proper name and skins, but the item doesn't tell anyone on my server what it does.

Never mind, problem existed between user and plugin hahaha

Have I missed something or is there a way to disable the player messages about refunds etc? It's handy knowing when you've got it but on a crafting spree chat gets completely clogged.

There isnt but Ill add a player setting like I did for skill tree.

I understood the reason for the disappearance of the identifier. Apparently there is a conflict with the RestoreUponDeath plugin. After respawning, things return to normal.
