[Discontinued - Open Source] OSDs and Element Veins for The Island

Description
Note:
Due to real-life things, i no longer can bear the time or focus to continue those mods, as they are a real hassle to update - as well as fixing stuff. Sorry y\'all D:
I\'ll do the mods for Valguero, Center, Crystal Isles (and maybe Genesis too) at some point.

Source Code:

What is this mod?
This Mod is an Map Extension, which adds Orbital Supply Drops and Element Veins to TheIsland!
You should NOT use this mod with any other map, as the Map Extension still will fully work and you\'ll have floaty rocks with OSDs and EVs on them!
If you\'ve got any structures nearby the spawn points, move first, or there\'s a good chanche that stuff will get destroyed by Corrupted Dinos or an spawning event!


Where do they spawn?
There are a total of 3 Spawn Points on TheIsland. Each one can spawn OSDs AND Element Veins.
They are placed strategically across the map, so there\\\'s the least chanche they could bother anyone.
Most important thing is that there is NO Level 4 OSD (Legendary), as i didn\'t quite find a good spot for them. They spawn insanely high-level corrupted Dinos after all, which could easily wreak havoc to nearby bases.
You can find a spawn map in the images above this description.
The spawners have a large rock beneath them, so you can orient on those.
Each spawner has a quite large Structure Prevention Zone around them, to prevent buildings getting destroyed over and over again.

A Note about the Difficulties
Although the system was set up exactly like on Extinction, the spawn points somehow choose another difficulty than which was set for them.
So the spawn map is not always correct in terms of difficulty.

Random leftover Dinos after a Wave
This happens due to the nature of corrupted Dinos. They will attack everything that is a non-corrupted Dino.
This leads to them getting way off track and you have to hunt them down.

What about the corrupted Dinos spawned during the event?
Spawned Corrupted Dinos are set to despawn after the event has ended and they got stasised once. Unfortunately, this doesn\'t work for every single one and some may stay. (This actually is the vanilla way of getting rid of them)

Useful Stuff
Those commands start a Level 1 OSD and Element Vein respectively.
Replace the 1 with 2 or 3 to start a medium or hard one.
Keep in mind that they also spawn naturally and don\'t have to be forced.
Both, Crates and Element Veins still need some time after being Force-Spawned to actually appear. With EVs taking the longest, while you can\'t even see any indicator of them existing.

Is there a mod like this for CrystaIsles?

OSDs and Element Veins stopped falling at coordinates 41/17, nothing at all. I checked it in a single player game and on a dedicated server. Please fix, we ask you very much.

After the next update dropped, i won't be supporting this Mod(s) anymore, due to Real-Life stuff. Will release the source code shortly after that.

The Update will fix the long ongoing issue that events take massively increased damage.
