Lootmaster mod for EDF6 (UPDATE)

[Xdiesp]

The Lootmaster mod is now available for EDF6!

The mod collects all crates still left on the ground, when the mission ends.
The process is now completely automatic, unlike in the alpha where a vehicle was required. Here you can see it in action:

Lootmaster can be played online, but all players are required to have it installed.
Vanilla players cannot join modded servers, so please set your server to private.

To install Lootmaster, extract its zip archive in the EDF6 folder, located in:
"Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Earth Defence Force 6"
When installed correctly, the installation folder should look like in the screenshot below.

The mod does not require creating a new savegame.

I don't have EDF6 yet but want to say you're doing the lord's work. 🙏 These mods / hacks are essential in 4 and 5.

Great job! Still have to get the game on PC, but this is much appreciated.

Amazing \o/

Just in case you were wondering what the aforementioned "bike" looks like:

No, it's safe. You can't even play online with vanilla unmodded players, who might complain if you were using a trainer for the same purpose.

Been using Cheat Engine instead and one click.

[Xdiesp]

The auto-collect feature is exactly the same found in trainers and Cheat Engine, if you paced yourself and only used it at the end of the missions. I went to the lengths of recreating it in-engine, because this way it cannot be abused: you will never fall to temptation.

And also because I was curious to see what it would look like, if the devs eventually implemented it. Possibly, after unlocking it after beating the game.

The nice thing about the cheat engine version is it only picks up red and green boxes, so people can still heal xD
I kinda love it lol

Or I'll just keep using a trainer which allows me to play with random people and is a press of a button at the end of a mission instead of fooling with a vehicle.

[ImHelping]

My (replay on PC) of 4.1 was the firs time I broke down and used cheat engine on a prior PC after already clearing the campaign.

while I have not felt the need for it in 5 or 6 because they made the grind (Slightly) less miserable and within your difficulty drops not as worthless as old entries, I can't blame people for realizing they don't have as much time as they used to either.

*eyes RE4 remake deciding still existing in save folder saves no longer exist and ♥♥♥♥ it I earned that super knife already gimme the trainer internet*

[Starvingartizt]

disable achievements?

The one I had for EDF 5 had no bike.
Honestly wtf is even the point of the bike?
It feels like a completely unnecessary component to the system since if you "get too much armor" you can just turn it down at will.

The one I have for 5 just swaps out the player with a default loadout on mission complete automatically, no interaction or bikes involved. I wish I could remember what the specific name was or where I found it anymore...

Edit: I just saw the bit about eventually not needing the bike anymore, my b.
Look forward to that

Since EDF6 has been out for just 3 days, the tools aren't ready for that yet. So I'm giving people everything we can do at the moment.

Notice that the old Lootmaster for EDF5 actually did have vehicles: it was the only way to scoop up crates in online. Fortunately, we got lucky with the code in EDF6, and eventually we won't need to use vehicles at all, not even online.

After testing, seems to be working alright for the most part, although there seem to be issues with missions like "the big day" where you get a white screen with text at the end - could hear my character shoot during the scene, but couldn't see the bike because of the text

No biggie but something for people to keep in mind in those missions specifically

Edit: also, sometimes the bike has wonky physics when spawning and just flies around so be prepared to run after that bike :D
