why not use different config files

and why use this over the other ones that work fine

also why not different files for different stuff whys 90% of the plugin in 1 file

also using OnServerRoundEnded to clear stuff relies on servers not force restarting the round and if they do it wont clear

also why .ContainsKey when .TryGetValue or .Remove exists (depending on context)

eg:
here you can just .Remove

[marsh notch]

Thanks for your feedback will seperate this stuff. So I didnt saw an all in one Utility Plugin here.

At least not for LabAPI

[wispy lake]

i dont rly think its needed

but thats my opinion

[marsh notch]

I mean its for the people that want finished drag and drop stuff

[wispy lake]

you should at least seperate the configs for each thing

since rn it just kinda looks like a mess

[marsh notch]

I will seperate this stuff yeah. Also will seperate the Events and stuff

[spring heart]

this is similar to common utils on exiled no?

[wispy lake]

idk!

[spring heart]

haven't seen a good alternative yet, so i hope this is good

[wispy lake]

i dont actually have a clue what common utils has

but i also dont agree on just copying plugins and making it into 1 almorgamation

tbf its fine if done right

which id argue this plugin wasnt based on the amount of lines in 1 config

[wispy lake]

ok i checked and thats crazy

[marsh notch]

Its not a copy. No code from Common Utils is used. More features here. My goal was to add a essentials/utils Plugin for the LabAPI for people that dont know how to code. And I think I did that. Yeah one config and one Event handler isnt Beautiful but its doing his Job.

@marsh notch hello!

is this updated to the latest version of the game?

js wanna know if its still usable rn

[marsh notch]

It is but there will be a rework of the Plugin soon

[sly tapir]

alright

[lucid loom]

Hello @marsh notch, is it possible for custom recipes and spawn items to have a possibility of happening instead of being guaranteed?
For example Class-D having a Janitor card 10% of the time.

[crimson oracle]

I don't even think the custom recipes work

[lucid loom]

Oh yeah, looks like it. Eitherway, outside of custom recipes working, probabilities for spawn items and recipes are mostly what is keeping us from adopting the plugin for now.
The message for picking up candies also doesn't seem to show up.

I would wish for greater customisation options with changing text as well. Only being able to change the word "with" in the round stat placeholder does not work at all for our language.

[marsh notch]

Im on it currently

[lucid loom]

👌

[untold horizon]

Does this plugin disables friendly fire if activated? @marsh notch

[marsh notch]

just put EnableFriendlyFireAtRoundEnd to false

in the config

[sly tapir]

@marsh notch

is there any way to modify stuff from scp (damage, health, status)

or disable stuff like the 914 thing where u become

a scientist

[marsh notch]

Yes delete it from the config

[marsh notch]

Only health

[sly tapir]

oh

[marsh notch]

In the next update there will be damage and all

[sly tapir]

alright thanks

the pink candy one apparently doesnt work

i let it at 8% and kept picking up candies

and i didnt get it

do i have to store the plugin in global or the server port?

[marsh notch]

Thats your decision to make

[sly tapir]

okay

[wooden jasper]

what is the difference tho

[marsh notch]

Global is on every port so you also have to Change the config in the global folder so its auto deployed to every server with any port

[wooden jasper]

alr calm

[sly tapir]

@wooden jasper

[wooden jasper]

hey, so if we change the configs on the server port (with the plugin located on the port) it doesn’t save any of the settings for example if we change 3114 health it defaults to 1250 etc

[sly tapir]

@marsh notch ^

[marsh notch]

Uhhhh need to check

[wooden jasper]

alr i had the plugin in global
the dependency in global aswell and none of the configs would save in the game
keeping in mind we are using the lapapi section in bisecthosting

[sly tapir]

@marsh notch ?

[wooden jasper]

i think its fine

preciate the plugin

[tranquil smelt]

candies are broken, can't pick the up for some reason

[wooden jasper]

did u edit the candy limit amount because i only found it being an issue if the number wasn’t 2

[mint nebula]

@marsh notch is this even possible to create a custom recipe next to the base recipe?

or i am doing something really bad

because its not working like that

[crimson oracle]

I think it's bugged, I have the same problem :/

[hardy thistle]

I have an issue, where i set SCP-3114 to be with a minimum spawn and to be atleast 2 scps for it to spawn

but these settings do not apply

it works for 1-2 round

then again same scp

even as first scp

[hardy thistle]

Sets the chance of being SCP-3114.

s_c_p3114_spawn_chance: 0.1

Sets the player preference of being SCP-3114 (1 to 5).

s_c_p3114_player_preference: 1

Sets the min count of SCPs to spawn SCP-3114.

s_c_p3114_s_c_p_count: 2

and still every round on 10 people there is a skeleton as 2nd scp....

[mortal cape]

Love the plugin, quick question though. How can I make it so Coarse teleports you to a random room in either light or heavy? I'm assuming I have to manually write every room, but I'm not sure where I can find what each room is called

[high lichen]

The way he's set up this plugin means you can't teleport players to a random hallway or anything like that, it has to be a named room listed in the sparse enum

[mortal cape]

Got it, thank you so much. 🩵

[mortal cape]

Hey, so it works great but coarsing out only works once, then I have to restart the server.

[high lichen]

That's interesting
Any errors in the console/LocalAdminLogs?

[mortal cape]

I went to check, but now it all seems to work after adding all the rooms. It could've been caused by some typo when I added the first two rooms?

[high lichen]

Very possible

[mortal cape]

Thank you so much for the support either way 🙏

[high lichen]

I do my best, if you need anything I'm around
