Aberration Dungeon Loot No Despawn

Mod ID: 3149651665 (for all those knuckleheads that can't find it in the address bar)


On the maps The Island and Scorched Earth you will always find 3 Cave Supply Crates in every cave (if none have been in and looted them recently) since it's setup to spawn up to 3 supply crates with 1-2 hours delay per crate and the supply crates don't de-spawn. But when they made Aberration where most of the map is a cave they use cave supply crate instead of surface drop crates, so they copied the cave crates and made them de-spawn in 10 minutes. Then they added "Dungeons" which is what the "caves" are called on Aberration and they then copied the Aberration Cave Supply Crates to Aberration Dungeon Supply Crates but forgot they made them de-spawn. So now we have Dungeons that spawn up to 3 Supply Crates with 1-2 hours delay per crate, but each crate de-spawn in 10 minutes, meaning we will never every have more then on crate, and in fact most of the time we will have ZERO crates. Then they also added Secret Supply Drops to some of the dungeons (1 in Old Railway Cave[Green zone] and 3 in Hidden Grotto [Blue zone]) that has a 6-12 hours that also de-spawns in 10 minutes.


Fixes the Aberration Dungeon Loot Crates so they don't de-spawn in 10 minutes, making them behave the same as cave loot crates on all other maps. Because having loot crates (secret dungeon crates) with 6-12 hours spawn time de-spawn in 10 minutes isn't cool. Only the Supply Crates inside the dungeons, not the "normal" once all over the map have been changed. No change to what can appear inside the crates have been changed, only the crates them self.

This will affect all maps that have the Aberration Dungeon Supply Crates like Aberration (doh), Valguero and Fjodor plus all custom maps that have them. This mod is mainly made for Aberration, but it has no negative effect if loaded on other maps.

And NO. This mod will NOT be ported to ASA because. A: Aberration is not out yet for ASA. B: We don't know if the same bugs exists when Aberration gets released. C: I don't have a computer powerful enough to run ASA. D: I don't own ASA.


Remapped

• SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level35 -> SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level35_NoDespawn
  
• SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level50 -> SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level50_NoDespawn
  
• SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level65 -> SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level65_NoDespawn
  
• SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level80 -> SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level80_NoDespawn

If you are using custom loot setup in the game.ini you need to repoint those to the new supply crate. IE

• "SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level35_NoDespawn_C"
  
• "SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level50_NoDespawn_C"
  
• "SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level65_NoDespawn_C"
  
• "SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level80_NoDespawn_C"

Remember the "_C" at the end.
The same applies if you whant to manually spawn a supply crate "cheat spawn SupplyCrate_Dungeon_Aberration_Level35_NoDespawn_C".


I'm and old retires software engineer (not games thou) that have done mods for games like Conan Exile and Minecraft among others. I have used the Ark Dev kit for several years now, but never made a mod in it. I'm still learning how to do stuff with it since it's very different then from how you do stuff for Conan Exile even thou it's basically the same tool. So I know what I'm doing, but it just takes some time to learn the old dog to sit.


The Surface Drops in one of the NE Surface Area spawn groups references points in SW Surface Area. There are points created in the NE area, but they are not used, instead it uses points in the SW area that are already used by one of the spawn groups in the SW area. (This is why there are 3 drops active in SW surface area and there can be 2 active drops at the same point at the same time and only 1 drop active in the NE surface area.)

Crystalline Swamps in Bio-Luminescent Region has supply drops for Level 35, 50 and 65 but the entry for the level 65 double drop is blank so the small chance you had of getting that now leads to got getting absolutely nothing instead.
