me and coffmad found 6 antibiotics yesterday... (admitadly two of them were from another player coffmad killed) So im not even sure that the antibiotics themselves are that rare if the loot piles actually spawn. I think the issue is that loot piles still quite often don't spawn. Yesterday me and coffmad were the only ones on the server (had been for about an hour), and the berezeno hospital spawned nothing at all, not even tin cans and many places in berezino hadn't spawned loot. I think the issue is that loot piles themselves have become rarer, not the spawn chance of the antibiotics themselves.
That's all part of the new loot tables and loot spawning system as far as I know. We experienced a similar problem right after 1.7.7 was released.
Buildings themselves have a percentage chance to spawn loot lets use hospitals for example
Code:
class Hospital: Default {
zombieChance = 0.4;
minRoaming = 2;
maxRoaming = 6;
zombieClass[] = {"z_doctor","z_doctor","z_doctor"};
lootChance =0.2;
lootPos[] = {};
lootType[] = {
{"","trash",0.5},
{"","hospital",0.5},
{"MedBox0","object",0.01}
};
};
zombieChance = 0.4;
minRoaming = 2;
maxRoaming = 6;
zombieClass[] = {"z_doctor","z_doctor","z_doctor"};
lootChance =0.2;
lootPos[] = {};
lootType[] = {
{"","trash",0.5},
{"","hospital",0.5},
{"MedBox0","object",0.01}
};
};
So there is a 0.2 (20%) chance for any of the available loot points in a hospital to spawn loot - lootChance
Number of loot points in a hospital?
Code:
lootPos[] = {{0.79834,-1.16895,-7.33966},{-7.2334,-2.63574,-7.33966},{-16.3687,-2.4043,-7.33966},{-12.2847,-3.19434,-7.33966},{4.24268,-3.59375,-7.33966},{-3.2666,-0.925781,-7.33966},{6.85693,-2.75098,-7.33966},{11.0151,-3.9541,-7.33966},{16.8198,-4.71094,-7.33966},{-1.6875,5.47168,-7.4494},{12.7476,0.144531,3.29184},{10.2661,-1.21582,3.29184}};
};
};
Looks like 12 possible points, 20% of 12 is 2.4 loot points.
The hospital table has a (50%) chance of being used on any of the loot points, here are the details of that table
Code:
hospital[] = {
{"ItemBandage",0.06},
{"ItemPainkiller",0.04},
{"ItemMorphine",0.04},
{"ItemEpinephrine",0.03},
{"ItemBloodbag",0.03},
{"ItemAntibiotic",0.01}
};
{"ItemBandage",0.06},
{"ItemPainkiller",0.04},
{"ItemMorphine",0.04},
{"ItemEpinephrine",0.03},
{"ItemBloodbag",0.03},
{"ItemAntibiotic",0.01}
};
2.4 loot points on average spawning loot, with a 50% chance of it being junk loot or a 1% chance of a medbox. Should the hospital table get chosen there is a further 1% chance for antibiotics to spawn
That's not to say there isn't more at play here than that. They revamped the way loot spawns in 1.7.7, there is a time limit that must be reached for loot to respawn, and it won't do so if players are still in the area. These changes were made to prevent cycling but it does feel like all loot is rarer as a result. This could be as the devs intended or could be bugs in their code...
