A bit confused by the LootGroups.ecf Crated a new blank scenario, dropped just the lootgroups.ecf file into the /Content and noticed the file seems to get ignored Rather confusingly a new section was added ## Escape pod - New Start { +LootGroup Name: StartingEquipment_NewStart ... and that is not being used at all so would like to know what steps I'm getting wrong
Not sure how the new escape pod start works now since the last changes. You might want to include (for the escape pod parameters) EClassConfig.ecf, Containers.ecf and LootGroups.ecf in your \Content folder. In the default start we can't access the escape pod like we did previously, and some objects are scattered on the ground around it so we can pick them up. I see no trace of how this is done in the config files.
Escape pod contents are set in the correct playfield file. Look in the default TemperateStarter playfield for an example, look in the playfield_static.yaml and search for FixedPlayerStart It will show you an example of the excape pod being un-steerable and dropping its contents on the ground (it always drops on the ground now).
The New un-steerable Escape Pod Start is only enabled on the Temperate Starter Planet. The Arid Starter has the 'normal' way to start with Loot but all is already in your Backpack.
Ok thanks, I found it there. I checked some playfields but not this one. I wish they add these new commands in the Example_Planet yaml so we don't have to look around in many files not even knowing what we're looking for. I don't have that patience anymore.
