Subpresets

[zhawzid-ottj]

While testing I tried this (exported zone "Blato" first):

• added packages named "MyPackage1.json" and "MyPackage2.json"
• modified Loot/Spawners/Presets/Override/Blato/Buildings-Church-Examine_Wardrobe.json to

{
    "Subpresets": [
        {
            "Rarity": "Uncommon",
            "Id": "MyPackage1"
        },
        {
            "Rarity": "Uncommon",
            "Id": "MyPackage2"
        }
    ]
}

like in Buildings-Armory-TV_Bunker-Examine_Weapon_Locker_Lockpick_Tier_1.json

But it doesn't work

"MyPackage1" is not a valid preset "MyPackage2" is not a valid preset

I was successful using the subpresets "Special_Packages-World_Weapons-World_Hunting_Weapons" and "Special_Packages-World_Weapons-World_Military_Basic_Weapons" as they are exported by the game within the "Blato" context.

self-created packages don't seem to work for me.

Hello there,

You can't create new packages. You can only modify existing ones, the spawner presets are assigned to meshes in-game.

Thank you for your response!

I understand that the files like Buildings-Armory-TV_Bunker-Examine_Weapon_Locker_Lockpick_Tier_4.json are bound to specific spawners but I thought that I would be able to define my own packages like in

Special_Packages-Vault-Examine_Pistols_Deagle_357_Vault_Pack.json

From my logical understanding, unlike a file for a locker or a wardrobe spawner, a package should be independent from a spawner, you just reference it from a spawner.

But if you say those are bound to meshes as well and there is no way to define own subpresets for the use in actual spawner overrides - it's fine.

Thank you again for your help.

Cheers Jakob

Hello,

What you can do is modify Buildings-Armory-TV_Bunker-Examine_Weapon_Locker_Lockpick_Tier_4.json. You can only modify what it contains, you can't change the actual name. I'm pretty sure it has a number of SubPresets inside, you can change the spawner completely to whatever you want inside. You can use nodes, "items", "FixedItems" or "SubPresets". You can also use any combination you like inside, but the name of the .json has to stay as it is.

If you modify it, the next time you loot the mesh that has Buildings-Armory-TV_Bunker-Examine_Weapon_Locker_Lockpick_Tier_4.json assigned to it, you will get the loot that you specified inside.
