Description

This is improved version of original Search For Loot mod. Now you can search only some particular items. You can for example find food in fridges, clothing in cases and so on. This mod adding possibility to search furniture and stuff inside buildings. You need empty hands and look to furniture, then action appear. There are cooldown, you can search again later after cooldown time expire. Mod is fully configurable, you can define building, items and loot categories in json config file. Mod works on every maps. With this mod you NOT NEED place anything and spending lot of time in map editor.

Installation

Instalation is simple like any other mod. When mod first start, its created basic example config file which works out of the box.

Configuration

JSON config file is located under server profile folder in SearchForLoot folder. You can configure: - EnableDebug (0/1 - false/true) to show verbose logs - rarity of loot (0-100) lower numbers means very rare, higher very common - initial cooldown (in seconds - default 400) - time from join to server during which you will find nothing - kinda prevention of loot cycling - toggle sound while searching (0/1) - notification message and description - loot, objects and building categories

Known Issues

- custom placed building are not searchable, see this ticket: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T164635 - can be incompatible with mods which adding same classnames of buildings/proxy items - custom buildings need be registered at config.cpp, json and also on script side - customization of proxies is in config.cpp, so you need override it when you want change something - just let me know using discord when you found some trouble

Further Info

No repacks allowed. Dont Ask. Repacking is cancer of DayZ community.

You are allowed to look into mod for learning purposes or if you want know how it works.
