Whitelist & Blacklist (DEPRECIATED, Look on wiki)
The file that contains the list is located in: Headers\Loot Lists.hpp

Here you can add classnames of items, weapons, and gear to specific sections of the whitelist.

These sections are:
  • Launchers
  • Primary Weapons
  • Handguns
  • Backpacks
  • Vests
  • Uniforms
  • Headgear
  • Items
  • Explosives

Next, you can change your mode in: Functions\Init Functions\fn_prepareGlobals.sqf
There, you will find a global variable called BLWK_loot_whiteListMode that can be changed from 0-2 for different modes. This will be a mission parameter very soon.

The whitelist modes are:
  • 0 - OFF
  • 1 - Only Whitelist Items will spawn as loot
  • 2 - Whitelist items get added to existing loot (increases the chance of loot spawning)

Duplicates of classnames in the whitelists will just increase the likelihood of that particular item to drop.



The blacklist operates off just excluding any class inside of its array and doesn't need and sorting.

Change The Map

To change the map, get the mission PBO file and simply change the .altis on the end of the filename to .whateverTheMapNameIs.

If you don’t know where to find the PBO, you can download it from here[github.com]. Go to the the Assets drop down of the latest build and click on the PBO file in there called arma3survival.altis.pbo

Then navigate to your Arma 3 game folder (in steamApps) and find the “MpMissions” folder and place it inside (or if you have a dedicated server I assume you know where to put it).

Feel free to upload that to the workshop just make sure to link back to the main Dynamic Bulwarks page. (Don’t care if you link back to this one).

Hey, is there a way to implement new fanctions myself for personal use or is that too complicated?
Ansible2  [developer] Dec 9, 2020 @ 8:43am 
Absolutely, let me write you some documentation. Not too complicated, but if you want 50 factions it starts to get tedious.

Damn that looks a bit complicated, thanks, you're amazing!

Appreciate that one! Gonna get started on some WW2 factions.

Also hi Krakon, long time \o

Is there some way to blacklist magazines? I just spent 15 minutes writing them all out in the blacklist, since there were some RHS M200 mags there, then the first thing I found was an AK with the exact subsonic mags I specifically wanted to get rid of lol.
Ansible2  [developer] Dec 21, 2020 @ 2:46pm 
It hasn't been implemented yet for magazines (forgot about it), I'll update it in a bit.

Hi,
I would like to:

1) start from a custom wave number (ex. number 5)
2) increase time between two waves

The problem is:
I don't find the mod file path so I can't edit the mission.
Where do I have to search?

Thanks!

I'd recommend downloading it from the github link if you want to edit it.

Hello,

I've been trying to make the loot spawn according to a whitelist that I provided. However I've had no success. I'm currently trying with just one class per list but I still get this error (provided a screenshot of the loot lists and the error)

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Could you help me?

Thanks in advance

Are you on the newest version? When I downloaded it, Ansible appeared to have switched from #define to regular arrays. That could be your problem. Mine just say (for example):
lootWhitelist_primaries[] = { "classname1", "classname2" };
