NewDayzAirDrop

NewDayz Military Plane Crash Drop A configurable military plane crash drop event for DayZ servers. This mod adds timed military supply drop events where a plane flies across the map, drops a supply crate, and later leaves behind a crash site. The event includes server announcements, optional LBmaster Groups map markers, purple smoke, crash smoke, configurable loot, cleanup timers, and safe position checks to help avoid bad crate or crash spawns. Features Military plane crash drop event Plane flies in from the side of the map Plane releases a supply crate Crate falls from the sky Plane continues toward the despawn area Optional crash wreck near the drop zone Purple particle smoke at the crate Black particle smoke at the crash site Optional purple light marker Configurable loot Configurable min/max loot item count Large 500-slot crate layout Timed cleanup for crate, loot, smoke, lights, plane, wreck, and markers Safe position checks to avoid buildings, roads, water, and steep terrain Optional LBmaster Groups marker support City/location name announcements Configurable messages Server-side JSON config Designed for server owners who want a more interesting dynamic event than a basic supply crate spawn Event Flow The event works like this: A warning message is sent before the drop starts. A military plane flies in from the side of the map. The plane releases a supply crate above the selected drop area. The crate falls from the sky and lands at the event location. Purple smoke and an optional light appear at the crate. A crash wreck can appear near the drop location with black smoke. After the configured cleanup time, the crate, loot, smoke, wreck, plane, and markers are removed. Loot The crate has a large 500-slot cargo layout, but the number of spawned loot items is controlled separately in the config. Example: "LootItemCountMin": 15, "LootItemCountMax": 20, "MaxLootItemsInCrate": 20 This means the crate can hold a lot, but each event will only spawn between 15 and 20 loot stacks. Configuration The config is created in the server profile folder: profiles/NewDayzAirDrop/config.json Important settings include: "DropCleanupSeconds": 1800, "AircraftForcedDespawnSeconds": 300, "LootItemCountMin": 15, "LootItemCountMax": 20, "MaxLootItemsInCrate": 20, "EnableSafePositionCheck": 1, "AvoidBuildings": 1, "AvoidRoads": 1, "AvoidWater": 1, "AvoidSteepTerrain": 1 If you update the mod and new config options do not appear, delete the old config once and let the mod generate a fresh one. LBmaster Groups Marker Support This mod includes optional LBmaster Groups marker support. If LBmaster Groups is installed, the event can create a temporary map marker for the drop. Example icon path: "LBmasterMarkerIcon": "LBmaster_Groups\\gui\\icons\\cross.paa" The marker is cleaned up automatically when the event despawns. The mod is built so LBmaster support is optional. Safe Position System The mod can check drop and crash positions before spawning the event. It can avoid: Buildings Roads Water Steep terrain Bad nearby objects This helps stop crates from landing inside buildings or crash wrecks spawning in bad areas. Cleanup System The event cleanup removes: Supply crate Loot inside the crate Purple smoke Black crash smoke Purple light marker Flying plane Plane sound proxy, if enabled Crash wreck LBmaster marker Cleanup is controlled by: "DropCleanupSeconds": 1800 The flying plane also has a forced despawn timer: "AircraftForcedDespawnSeconds": 300 Classnames AirDrop crate: ND_AirDropCrate Purple smoke proxy: ND_AirDropPurpleSmokeProxy Black crash smoke proxy: ND_AirDropBlackSmokeProxy Plane sound proxy: ND_AirDropPlaneSoundProxy Recommended Load Order If you use an external aircraft model mod, load that before this mod.
