"spawnGearPresetFiles" Custom character
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

The new spawn gear presets is good but you can't use your custom character it seems like. I request this be changed so the character you set in the main menu is still used when you go in a server with the file in use.

Hello TheRealITDog.
Unless we understand incorrectly, there does not appear to be an issue? If you/the server owner have chosen that only Keiko and Baty will spawn, then the players will not be able to choose random character.

@Geez That’s the thing. Why are we as server owners choosing what character they spawn as? Why can’t it be the custom character we set in the main menu? Really odd parameter and I just don’t get it. If we set all characters to spawn in like in Step 2, they will just get rotated between all of them. I don’t want to force a character upon a player when they enter our server & I want players to be able to have freedom on who they choose.

This server-side configured spawning method completely overrides the spawning of the character. Which means that character created in main menu will be overriden by the settings from Player Spawn Gear configuration on server during the character creation process. This is how it works.

So there is no way to implement a way for players to use their own customised character when this configuration is being used?

Not right now no.
Currently I cannot say whether that will change in the future.

I at least ask this gets forwarded on to be checked at. Thanks tho geez

Please change this so players can enjoy their favorite characters and have server customized loadouts. It is very strange there isnt some other option.

Yes agree would also like this to be changed, the player community on my server is screeming for this.

I feel like all the trash and extra stuff in electro should be removed, I’ve been playing the server for weeks and I’ve ran into several people who think the same bc when we enter into the town with a car or on foot you will lag really bad and like I said several people have this same problem it will even make the game crash so I recommend removing all of the trash or atleast tone it down a lil bit on the trash bc it’s really difficult trying to navigate thru the town
