BetterLoot Config Auditor

Short description: Validate BetterLoot v4 loot-table files, group references, item shortnames and watched sources before your wipe.

BetterLoot has multiple related configuration and data files, and a small mismatch can produce confusing loot behavior. This free read-only auditor checks common problems and exports precise paths to investigate.

Features

• Parse BetterLoot.json, LootTables.json, LootGroups.json and Blacklist.json from known local paths.
• Check expected v4 root objects and JSON syntax.
• Detect missing enabled loot-group references.
• Validate configured item shortnames against loaded Rust item definitions.
• Flag invalid min/max ranges and oversized group probabilities.
• Compare enabled tables with watched-container settings.
• Export actionable findings as JSON; never rewrites BetterLoot's files.

Commands

• /lootaudit scan — perform the file audit.
• /lootaudit report — show key findings.
• /lootaudit export — save full retained report.
• RCON: lootaudit.scan, lootaudit.report, lootaudit.export.

Permission

Requirements

Oxide/uMod for Rust. BetterLoot v4 local file layout for meaningful cross-checks.

Notes

The auditor cannot validate a Looty download ID remotely, prove an external editor import is targeted to the correct plugin, or guarantee every attachment is compatible with every weapon. Separate standalone browser checker included.
