Archive that shit before it's get deleted by rocket.

[rocket 16567]

Why would I delete it? I say well played sir, well played :)

I like to think the values are pretty intuitive anyway, this just makes it easier.

[profanwolf 3]

This makes it a bit easy doesn't it? :D

Nevertheless, useful.

[rocket 16567]

Well you still gotta find the stuff. And doesn't stop the zombies, or the snipers. It just tells you the probabilities.

Cool then.

But now people can see how much the spawnpoints for interesting things are... limited.

And when i say limited it's like Barracks and stations, that's it. And there's two Barracks on Chernarus, and just a little more for Stations. It's really, really, limited.

most people know this

Gabriel, I do believe that's the point of rare spawns.

[drakenof 9]

Too bad they don't suggest anything and stay passive then. Because having 4 interesting points for loot on a 225km2 map is damn shame.

If i read the sheet well, just respawn, move your ass at airfield, loot, server hop, loot, server hop, loot and that's it son, that's how you got nice shit.

Damn fucking shame. Chernarus is not pleased to be used like that.

Those items are rare because of their % of loot. Not by their placement. That's what i'm saying.

if only it was that easy

[drakenof 9]

Indeed, it's more than easy.

Just add more handmade military camps in the wild ( tents and shit, take about 5-10 minutes in the editor to place and create ), add interesting spawnpoints in your new fresh camp, and that's it.

More interesting spawnpoints, more diversity in places, no more " RUSH AIRFIELD §§§11 ", and people have to actually DISCOVER SHIT instead of running brainlessly to the same fucking place everytime.

Win / win.

With the skills rocket have, he can even do a dynamic system, like an AC-130 or something like that, that drops a military package once in a while in a total random place. So people have to actually move their asses and discover new places with the idea of awesome loot in head.

[LanceUppercut 7]

... you realize by adding more camps it will make it easier... there is a reason the airfields are dangerous... its because of all the bandits

every time i have been to an airfield i have run into someone... and they have never been friendly

[jtime 0]

Read over the table found it quite interesting.

NVG/M107/m24 (and probably other items: illustrative) used to be on the military level spawn list (from my experience) and they've now been pushed into barracks only (2 of those buildings i know of in the game both at NW airfield) and are on a 0.11% spawn chance (1/1000).

I understand some items need to be rare but even across 12 nodes per barracks (which only spawn items 40% of the time) you're odds are still extremely terrible! even bumping it to 0.2 or 0.3 will still make the items extremely rare 1/500, 1/333 while making them not borderline impossible. (i realise more nodes improve your odds but across 24 nodes [all in NW airfield Afaik] spawning only 40% of the time they're still quite, quite low.).

As it stands the spawning system seems a little funky in its present state (it goes for zeds also spawning in a area closely packed around you) and loot rarely seems to respawn or recycle (more pressing issue than the above but neither are critical)(i have no idea if there's a timer on it if someone knows lmk!)

edit: grammar.

Dangerous ? Sure.

Fuck diversity ? Sure.

Boring as fuck ? Sure too.

Airfield is dangerous because it's almost the only place in the game for looting nice shit.

Add more interesting spawnpoints ? They will be dangerous too in about two hours.

[oilman 72]

Actually, there are loads of places for 'nice shit'.

There are three airfields, plenty of stations, and a whole heap of deer stands. Yes, you'll have to LOOK for them, but that's not so much an issue.

[phisher34 12]

Well glad to know that Residential areas can spawn items.

[rocket 16567]

I think what would alleviate this is if the residential areas had a chance of spawning military gear' date=' even if it is extremely low. Lower than the airfields.

[/quote']

They do.

[profanwolf 3]

I think what would alleviate this is if the residential areas had a chance of spawning military gear' date=' even if it is extremely low. Lower than the airfields.

This allows the Airfield to still be higher risk/higher reward. But for the players that don't want to go there, they can still find the gear if they look long enough or invest that much time.

I actually thought that is how it was. Knowing that I never even had a chance of finding some of the items on this list while I was searching a ton of towns is almost depressing.

[/quote']

Oh so they do?

Never seen any military equipment anywhere but an airfield.

what you are saying doesnt even make sense

if you add more of those buildings people will have more options for where to get that gear' date=' meaning less chance to run into people, meaning its safer, and thus easier to get...

go to cherno/electro and berezino?

those wooden stands can spawn military gear, they are all over the map

Well by that i included firestations, because they're at the moment pretty much the only other place that actually spawns advanced hardware.

Will take a look at deer stands though.

[drakenof 9]

I've made a script on the editor, his role is to detect places like stations and show them to me on my map using the class name of these objects.

And guess what ?

plenty of stations

Excuse me what, are you actually serious ? ( red dots are station )

three airfields

Only one is truely interesting.

deer stands

One loot inside, extremely rare to get something interesting out of them except knifes, food, smokes grenade or... nothing. Also they're espaced as fuck.

[oilman 72]

How is only one airfield truly interesting? They ALL have the same spawns.

My point about deer stands is that they're all over the place. That means you have a chance of finding loot just about anywhere.

And if you didn't notice, the stations are smack bang inside Elektro and Cherno: The two most heavily populated areas on the map.

[tiri 21]

If you're well organized, it is.

The problem is that, apart from the airfield and the military bases (and the corpses of other players), you will never find something really valuable by sheer luck (even if it is a one in a million probability) according to this sheet.

So what's the point in trying to exploring the map, the different towns if you know you won't be able to progress anymore.

This is what makes playing a bit demotivating.

so you want it to be easy to get good military gear?
