Please note, the shovels can fold! Bing.com
Yes, but in game they won't, even the military shovels. They just pop up vertically and i don't like it, specially when it's coming from a 10cm height box. Same for some other items. But i understand it's kinda useless mod lol.
The drugs from the paper boxes seem kinda OP. Please nerf.
Tx for feedback. It's vanilla values, but i will make adjustments accordingly. If you see other issues or balance needs, pls share.
edit : there should be about 25% of drugs spawn left now.
edit 2 : after reinstalling win10 and the game, and finally testing the mod, i decided to further reduce the amount of drugs spawn. It was "kinda OP" lol
"AMERICAN Freedom".... "Made in CHINA"
Very kek. I'm sure the people who made it were certainly "Free"
We can help with code, if you will be able to push it to github. It is too good to track added changes and suggest fixes.
Thanks mate, much appreciated, i'll consider it since i already have a github account. It's just a function that i duplicated three times with minor changes in it, no big deal.
edit: i can't seems to get your code working :(
Zoust, I was watching a Solarint ironman stream. He was having problems with cats spawning WAY to often to be considered 1%.
yes i just experienced the same, i'll fix soon. tx for reporting
the random chance for cats spawning is checked incorrectly
gamedata/scripts/bind_physic_object,script, line 190, `proba < 0.99` should be `proba > 0.99` - `< .99` results in a 98% chance
x) yeah uhhh thanks! lol
i'm so blind
Love the mod!
the only thing holding me back from using it is the med drops in small boxes. way to overpowered. i got rich 3 hours into a game from selling drugs to the lab boys in yantar. made the struggle of the zone a non issue. would love to see a version where maybe other small things can also spawn in the cardboard boxes, small caliber ammo perhaps. something so make them not just drop high lvl meds.
But like i sead love the mod :D
Thanks man! Yeah i need more feedback ! I'll try to add 25% of small loot and 25% of no loot chances for the paper boxes in next update. (so drugs will spawn -50% compared to now)
nice!
And thanks for replying.
Looking forward to the next update!
If you go raid another dungeon, let me know !
ah lovly :D!
Strating a fresh playthrough right now whit the updated mod. i will report back in a few days.
Hey agein zoust.
I think something has gone wrong here.
Went through cordon and smashed all the boxes i could find and none of them dropped anything.
Didnt even count towards the smashed boxes stat in the pda.
Edit: i removed the files from the mod and tryed agein and it was normal. wood boxes counted on the smash box stat and i got the regular stuff from wood boxes and nothing from paper boxes.
wtf again, i just tested it and it worked. sad.
let me check
you use the no spawn version ?
strange. ill try agein whit a clean gamedata folder.
i am using the no rats version.
it's okay my bad again. i upload the fix
thanks a lot for your quick reaction
Glad to help.
Seems to be working good now. stat in pda works and im getting items out of paper boxes. seems like the items drops are balanced now, balanced in a way that will make the box braker achivement actualy worth something hehe. i will test this over a few days and report back.
Thanks alot for your work!
hey agein zoust
After a bit of testing since yesterday i personaly think the med drops from paper boxes is still too op. it strange tho. when the box drops something other than meds its a normal amount but if you do get a box that drops meds there is alot of it. after i broke all the paper boxes i could find in the cordon and the medows i had 3 mil stimpacks, 14 bandages, 3 blue medkits and 4 red medkits.
should prob also mention that i play on hard survivalist. dont know if that alters the droprates.
feels very op to me still.
Maybe make a version where there are no med/drug spawns in the boxes.
Val_Wunjo Hey! I will edit the drop rates a bit again. Keep in mind that only paper boxes will spawn meds, you won't find them in metallic or wooden crates anymore. Do you play with the mod "dynamic objects" ? Because it adds a lot of boxes lol.
If you still want no meds drop, just grab my previous mod Moddb.com.
And finally, you can alter the drop rates to your liking in configs\items\settings\ph_box_items_by_communities.ltx
voila voila, thank you for all that testing i should have done!
hey
ah yes, i am playing whit dynamic objects..ups.
i will see about altering stuff on my own.
I love testing mods and stuff so your welcome!
Happy hunting Stalker
excellent add-on! :D
tx mate :)
Is this addon compatible with Grok´s stash ?
I don't remember any issue but i didn't use it so you'll have to try. Probably.
You were right, it is working :)
Btw. kudos for version with cat :D but would probably got me heart attack some day if I used it :D
x) glad you like it, no pain no gain as they say
Ever thought about adding an additional/optional component that increases the amount of 'crafting' materials you can get from boxes? Like, not broken radios or the like, but the base components, like scrap metal, transistors, empty syringes, stuff like that. Feel like it would improve the crafting if boxes offered a good source of certain basic crafting materials.
GadenKerensky I am currently playing another mod and it could be a long time before I come back to Anomaly, so you'll have to edit this mod yourself, sorry.
Find ph_box_items_by_communities.ltx in configs\items\settings\ and add the relevant crafting materials you want under the box section you want. I recommend you to put them in big_box_generic for example.
Then add their probability, a number like 0.01 should be more than enough.
You can found the names of crafting materials in configs\items\items\items_parts.ltx
I'm gonna try this myself, thank you for pointing this out!
gl if you need help feel free to ask
Jesus, what a must-have addon!
For whatever reason, boxes are of utmost uselessness in Stalker games. Rarely giving something good, if anything, and in Vanilla, take several shots or knife strokes to open, taking time and/or ammo. Just serve for boredom. What a worthless addition to the game.
This addon comes to help even that. Thanks a lot!
didn't work for me, the boxes are still empty
Sorry for late reply, that's strange what version are you using? Did you had conflicts when installing mod ? How many crates (and what type) did you smash, cause there always a probability that they're empty, it just should not be ALWAYS empty.
in your .ltx, is "def box" that can only spawn rubles a common wooden box? because almost every wooden box i open is emtpy
Hi Guest!
Wooden boxes content is defined in big_box_% sections.
def_box is used to sometimes spawn rubles instead of nothing.
If boxes are often empty, then it's balanced, if it's always empty, then idk it was working for me last time i played, you can try to tweak the script or check for conflicts.
Hey, I've been trying to make my own changes to the physics box loot, but I'm encountering a weird issue. Most boxes just contain nothing, but CERTAIN boxes take my changes, for example the boxes at the farmstead in cordon, or the boxes in the new levels addon. None of the other boxes in the game world seem to respond to my changes.
