Give the guy a break, he has college and a job. Have patience, my friend.

@darkaln

According to the pages of the thread that I have read, you should be able to use the item ID.

@suomenlippis

Is your Java up to date?

Well, I double checked every item with /loot name and the items DO spawn at one point or another. I've opened enough chests and have seen at least one spawn of everything. But here's something crazy: I put my list of "set" items (if you're familiar with Diablo-type games, you know what I mean) at the top of the list just to test them out with 100% chance to spawn, and funny enough they only spawned once in a while. I am going to post screenshots and a pastebin of my d01_mid.yml file (the list used in this particular dungeon).

One other thing, I tried using the lore on the set items and they format unpredictably. I had an item named Fist of Toran and it named properly.

But then I tried naming another item, and this was the result: http://tinypic.com/r/157gk5j/5

I didn't add those brackets (as the pastebin will demonstrate for another item). Any idea what's going on there? Anyway, then I came up with the idea for using color codes for specific types of gear like "rares" and "set pieces". Here's the results of the spawns from the set pieces. I tried them with and without the apostrophed names "Mordisan's" and the results were the same (just to rule out the apostrophe being the cause): This piece had the funny formatting, and I added the brackets hoping it wouldn't add more (to make it uniform for each set piece).

These didn't even get named or have lore added at all! Consistently, among many attempts. http://tinypic.com/r/33yq844/5

Please note that the only gold gear that can spawn in this list are the named items. Those screenshots are also from chests that were supposed to spawn 1 of each set item. As you can see, the chests never spawned all five, despite all of them being at the top of the d01_mid.yml file with a 100% chance to spawn. Pastebin of my list file: http://pastebin.com/QfV1d4rR

I really hope we can figure this out and I've already happily made a small donation in thanks for all the work you've put in thus far. As the server grows (thanks to plugins like yours), we will be continuing to make donations to the authors of these plugins. I know you are busy and we all appreciate your work making our Minecraft experiences so much more enjoyable!

Okay I did some more experimentation. I used 5-27 for line 4, and it had crazy results. I got a lot of spawns between those numbers and a few below. So this makes me wonder, even though I have about 40 items on the loot table... is it possible my spawn chances are just too low for reliable results?

If that's the case, I am curious how your plugin works. Does it check against each item in order that they appear in the config? If they do, I can simply put a few items at the end of the config that will spawn at 100% so that, no matter what, the chest will always have its minimum.

Could that be what's going on?

EDIT: Okay, I populated three chests with a loot sign together with different settings. Apparently, one of them gave me some errors I don't recall seeing before! It doesn't always give this error, but only some of the time. Interestingly enough, it continues to spawn loot despite these errors.

Wow, I did not realize that, thank you, I'm glad to hear that!

I just opened our first small dungeon tonight and it seems that the players like it so far. I will be creating much larger dungeons in the near future. However, that line4 bug is the only hitch. I'm just working around it right now by putting a high minimum count.

Is it possible it is conflicting with an existing plugin or something? Our server uses AdminChannel, AdzNoDrop, AntiXRay, Backpack, ChestShop, CoreProtect, Decapitation, DropsToInventory, Dynmap, Enjin Plugin, Essentials, GroupManager, MasterPromote, MiningCash, MobBountyReloaded, Multiverse, Residence, SimpleVoteListener, TimedBroadcast, Votifier, WorldEdit.

It's not something I can't work with but I really hate having chests that spawn with only 1-2 items when it is set to have at least 5. lol

Anyway, again, great plugin, it seems to be doing the job perfectly so far. I might have to check out Soulbound soon. Thanks for your efforts and energy; I know you are a busy person.

@XxkmachoxX

I'd appreciate it. Also, I have a suggestion. I want to incorporate these chests into dungeons for my players to explore, but the problem is, they may or may not clean the chest out. Is there some way to replenish the stock after certain intervals regardless? Such as by deleting the old contents if they were never cleared? I don't care how it works, just as long as they keep spawning regardless of being fully looted or not.

Anyway, so far so good on the plugin, just some little tweaks I think.

@kaaleneet

I'm sorry, a list of what?

Hey, GREAT plugin, thank you in advance for making this! Hopefully, if our server takes off, we can make donations to you for your incredible efforts.

That said, on to the meat of why I'm posting. My configurations and lists are all set up properly and working as expected, however the loot sign itself doesn't seem to be working. Here is what I put, followed by the actual results:

[loot]

d01_middle

1

3-7

Now, I tested this setup with several different "line 4s", and they all result the same. The first number is always the MAXIMUM amount of items generated. Is this supposed to be the case or am I missing something? I thought line 4 was supposed to be a range, from MIN to MAX. However, it is not doing this. What can I do to fix this? Thank you again!

EDIT: In fact, after testing with more line 4s, using 3-7:2 and 3-7:4 neither one worked, either. I placed extra blocks between the sign and the chest. Nothing spawned inside the chest at all!
