The Hacked Crate mod introduces secure, high-value loot crates that require players to “hack” them open. These crates spawn both dynamically and statically across the game world, offering a unique and engaging loot experience. With customizable settings and immersive audio/visual feedback, this mod adds a new layer of risk and reward to your DayZ server.
Dynamic Crate Features
Randomized Spawn Points: Crates appear at various configurable locations, adding unpredictability. Pre-Spawn Alerts: Players receive on-screen notifications before a dynamic crate spawns. Custom Timing Controls: Administrators can adjust spawn intervals, warning times, and respawn delays. Optional Map Markers: When integrated with LBMaster_Groups, dynamic crates display temporary markers on the map.
Static Crate Features
Fixed Deployments: Crates are placed in pre-defined areas (e.g., Military Bases, Medical Outposts). Section Organization: Static crate placements are grouped into sections for easier management and modification. Configurable Respawn: Admins can adjust respawn times for static crates to balance gameplay.
Shared Mechanics & Systems
Interactive Hacking Process: Players use a dedicated action to hack crates open. The process is timed and accompanied by immersive sound and animation.
Dynamic Loot Generation: Crates generate loot from customizable, weighted loot pools (weapons, food, medical supplies, etc.) with fallback defaults in case of configuration issues.
JSON-Based Configuration: All settings (spawn timings, loot, locations, hack durations, etc.) are stored in a JSON file, allowing easy customization without code changes.
Player Notifications & Debugging: In addition to pre-spawn alerts, players receive spawn confirmations, and detailed debug logs assist server admins in troubleshooting and fine-tuning the experience.
