Exile Loot Drop DLL

Download at https://github.com/maca134/ExileLootDrop/releases

A server mod/extension to replace the Exile loot drop function with a dll.

Examples:

Get single item (returns string so is backwards compatible with Exile):

_item = 'table' call ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem;

Get multiple items (returns an array of items, this is good for mission stuff):

_items = ['table', 10] call ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem;

To Install: Run the mod on the server and stick the below into CfgExileCustomCode in you mission files

class CfgExileCustomCode
{
  ...
  ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem = "\ExileLootDrop\ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem.sqf";
  ExileServer_system_lootManager_spawnLootInBuilding = "\ExileLootDrop\ExileServer_system_lootManager_spawnLootInBuilding.sqf";
  ...
};

Now replace @ExileLootDrop\ExileLootDrop.cfg with your own servers loot (this is the default Exile table). The loot is in the "pre-compiled" format.

Very cool.. to be clear on "run this mod"

Install = Turn this to @ExileLootDrop and add to startup command line?

the customcode will call on that as \ExileLootDrop\?

or am i just putting the ExileLootDrop folder mission side and its overwriting from there?

Get the release package from github. Its not hard to get working, mess around with it abit

Download the project on github and just run the "build.bat" file

Updated the link. You can build it yourself but the releases page on github has a compiled ready to go version

[maca134 361]

There are a number of ways to set this up. You can run the mod -servermod=@Exile;@Exile_Server;@ExileLootDrop

Or you can copy the pbo into @ExileServer/addons, copy the DLL+CFG to @ExileServer

Then you ADD the override line into the exile mission config.

class CfgExileCustomCode
{
  ...
  ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem = "\ExileLootDrop\ExileServer_system_lootManager_dropItem.sqf";
  ExileServer_system_lootManager_spawnLootInBuilding = "\ExileLootDrop\ExileServer_system_lootManager_spawnLootInBuilding.sqf";
  ...
};

Maybe stupid question, but what exactly is the use of this? To increase loot spawning performance?
