Simple Loot Chests was made for Bespoke Server and if you have questions about the mod ask there.

Be sure to check out the companion mod for this just launched called Simple Loot Chests-Spawner for easy set-up and spawning loot without using the vanilla file system!

A small PBO has been added to the extras files. This PBO has a config you can edit for the names, description, and textures of all the mod's keys. In case you want better descriptions for your server.

Chests: Keyed Chest Green Keyed Chest Blue Keyed Chest Yellow Keyed Chest Red Keyed Chest Orange Keyed Chest Black

Locked Chest (can only be opened with a vanilla crowbar)

Gun Cases: Case A Case B Case C Case D

Keys: Chest Key Green Chest Key Blue Chest Key Yellow Chest Key Red Chest Key Black Chest Key Orange Gun Case Key

ABOUT THE MOD: Simple Loot Chests uses all vanilla assets and vanilla lock coding (1.26 scientific briefcase coding) along with vanilla Events, CfgEventSpawns, and SpawnableTypes files to facilitate lootable chests and cases. As long as the vanilla code from BI works, this mod will work.

ASSETS: There are six loot chests along with six individual keys for each. there are also four gun cases that all are unlocked with one single gun case key.

EXAMPLE FILES: Working examples for both Cherno map and Melkart map are provided, with several different spawn configurations. the Melkart files have different spawn points for each individual chest, while the Cherno files have all the chests in a random rotation. Both Cherno and Melkart gun Case spawns have all gun cases in random rotation spawns.


INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
these instructions assume you have installed mods before and understand how to edit mpmission files.

1 - Install the mod from workshop as normal.  !!!THERE ARE NO CONFIG FILES!!!

2 - Copy/Paste the contents of mod events, cfgeventspawns, and spawnabletypes provided with this mod into the appropriate files in your server.

3 - Restart your server and check that placements are to your liking with the Admin mod of your choice.

ADDING AND CHANGING SPAWN POINTS:
Adding new spawn points is straightforward, open cfgeventspawns and either change or add additional spawns.
here is an example spawn-
<pos x="8728.960" z="14446.365" a="0.22"/>
<!-- add new spawn points here -->
Add your new x and y coordinates in place of the current, or add in a whole new line for a completely new spawn point.

LIMITATIONS OF SPAWN POINTS:
You can now add the "y" coordinate (I haven't added examples, look at your vanilla files for more info) to spawn the chests inside 2nd and 3rd floor areas, etc. On first spawn/start after setting up the mod you may need to find and delete a chest that spawns on the ground/under a building regardless of the y coordinate. Once deleted the vanilla system will spawn a fresh chest in the proper location. I don't know why, that's just the vanilla spawn system.


LOOT:
Loot is editable in the spawnabletypes file. The four Loot Chests in the example have a generic ammo spawn on them, change these to whatever you want. The four gun cases in the example each have their own individual weapon loadouts. While the Gun Case examples have modded weapons types, it should still give you a good idea how to set them up.

LOOT LIMITATIONS:
Weapons can now be spawned with attachments, I haven't provided examples but they are out there.

A FEW NOTES:
Both the cases/chests and keys can spawn in any condition, but after being used/opened all of it becomes ruined. This helps keep the server clutter free and allows for quick despawning of unlocked chests/cases and allows for a new one to quickly spawn somewhere else in rotation.
The Types files are basic, make sure to adjust times and spawn rates for your server specifics.

Types and extras files are provided for both Cherno Map and Melkart Map. No repacks, please.

If you would like a custom version made for your server with different textures, names or spawn points to put in your server pack, hit me up in DISCORD.
