Random Loot Tables!

[sweetcandyflip]

Hey!

I am trying to rework the loot tables from the base game so every Container in the world spawns the all items. The loot amount / container should be like:

Very rare: 0-1
Rare: 0-2
Normal:0-3
and so on.....

You can imagine it like the random (not logic) loot sandbox option for replayability.

Now to my Problem:

I adjusted the items in suburbsdistribution.lua with the full item list from pzwiki.net.

Here is an example for the conveniencestore, the rarity number 0.5 is just for testing so i will definitely want to adjust this later on when i have a good amount of item spawns in the containers:

SuburbsDistributions = {

conveniencestore =
{
fridge =
{
rolls = 1,
items = {

The random loot works fine but the variety of item spawns inside a container seems broken, due to the big amount of items that can be spawned. The variety is about 0-17 items / container now.

After doing some tests i changed all the rolls (rolls = 1,2,3,4,5) for containers to 1, which lead to slightly better loot tables.

Right now i am trying to adjust the itempicker.lua, now to my questions (Pls also check the spoiler tabs for some questions)

This is the spawning function for items in container right?

for m = 1, containerDist.rolls do Is this the roll an item event?
for i, k in ipairs(containerDist.items) do
if not alt then -- first we take the name of the item
itemname = k;
-- print (itemname);
else -- next step is the random spawn part
local itemNumber = k;
if lucky then
itemNumber = itemNumber + 1;
end
if unlucky then
itemNumber = itemNumber - 1;
if itemNumber<0 then
itemNumber=0.1;
end
end
local lootModifier = ItemPicker.getLootModifier(itemname) or 0.6;
if ZombRand(10000) <= ((((itemNumber*100) * lootModifier) + (zombieDensity * 10))) then

-- ZombRand is this the Randomgenerator from PZ?

-- Itemnumber*100  = Lucky/Unlucky * 100 for %

-- Zombiedensity * 10 = Zombie Counter in your Loot Region

-- So this Part means the Randomgenerator must be smaller than 99-101 + Zombiedensity to spawn an item right?
-- make an item in the container of that type.
local item = container:AddItem(itemname);

ItemPicker.getLootModifier = function(itemname)
local item = ScriptManager.instance:FindItem(itemname)
if not item then return; end
local lootModifier = ZomboidGlobals.OtherLootModifier;
if item:getTypeString() == "Food" then
lootModifier = ZomboidGlobals.FoodLootModifier;
end
if item:getTypeString() == "Weapon" or item:getTypeString() == "WeaponPart" or item:getDisplayCategory() == "Ammo" then
lootModifier = ZomboidGlobals.WeaponLootModifier;
end
return lootModifier;
end

What are the Global Loot Modifier which are described in the getlootmodifier function.
Are there any known numbers for those or is there a file where i can check them?

Is there a easy way to rewrite/delete the loot function (I wont need Zombiedensity for my Function i guess) to adjust the loot tables inside the game?

Also where is the part which defines the Rarity of the Sandbox Options?

I have a lot of more questions but i think that does for now, i hope someone can help me with my project.

Thx

Michael

 

edit:

 

Changing the Zombrand to 30000 works pretty neat... There is almost no loot anymore...
