With the addition of "ConstuctionStopsLootRespawn" (EasyPickins, great thanks!) We have noticed a new problem. Because they can now construct and not affect the loot spawn, they stay nearby (like a building away from the police station, etc) From my knowledge this will stop/reset the timer for the loot respawn in the whole zone because a portion of it is seen. ------------------------------- My suggestion: Add another server option: "SeenChunkStopsLootRespawn" or Make a more intuitive option that allows the timer to tick at half rate when the zone is currently being seen, instead of resetting the time or stopping it. ex. Loot respawn set to 6 hours. If players are inside the zone and its been free of players for 5 hours, it will then take 2 hours more (instead of 1) to spawn loot, then if the zone stays seen and the respawn time starts over, it will start counting to 12 hours, instead of 6. But if the player leaves the zone it will go back to 6 hours. ------------------------------- This would work because the player could sit there for 6 hours and get nothing. Then leave, once the zone is unseen it will half the amount of time. So the time would then be 3 hours instead of 6. Then it would only take 3 more hours for the default loot spawn value to spawn more loot. But if the player stays in the zone the rest of the time it will take 6 more hours instead of 3 hours. This encourages players not to camp, or they slow their loot spawn a lot. If they do decide to camp the location, others will surely clear them out. With 34 players this is an issue for places like Gigamart and Pharmahug as well as the Hardware store which are essential loot spawn areas. We intend to up our server cap as well so it will only cascade the problem. Setting the loot respawn lower will make less used places spawn too much loot. Just a suggestion as a balance for multiplayer. Edit: This can also apply to zombie spawns. Instead of having a timer that resets make it count down and if it hits 0 and it's time to respawn zombie... pause it till the chunk has been unloaded by all players, then add the zombies, timer resets.
