NVM I think I found a fix for it. After adding in my custom mystery box drops, I just changed the file to read only and it seems to have solved my problem.

Hey I'm currently having an issue where it forces what is in the box back to it's default set of wonder weapons when I'm playing TTT. I'll customize everything in the file and the box will be working fine with what I've put in it, but if I get off the game and get back on I notice when I place the box down it resets the config file back to it's default drops. If you know a fix for it that would be awesome, otherwise it was fun to use while it lasted and was a great addon for me.

pretty please upload the box model itself to the source filmmaker workshop page and my life is yours

i'm pretty sure you are still able to properly edit the txt files in regular notepad if you know what you are doing.

I think I've run into an odd issue. It seems like the mystery box copies the question marks and the light from inside whenever you load (or maybe save, I admittedly haven't tested) a save with it? I don't really expect a fix, just so other people know!

Hey unfortunately no, there's no cooldown other than the teddy bear and moving locations. I'll look into adding something like that, but no promises
FruitBerryCrunch 6 Jan @ 3:37pm 
Hey long time no speak. Question. Does this come with a cool down feature? Being able to open it without a cool down makes it a bit overpowered. I know there's a feature that limits how many times one can open it but I feel like a cool down feature would be useful.

thank you for answering both me and Kesch's questions.
Hoff  [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 2:07pm 
If you're an admin on a server or a single player user, you can configure what shows up in the mystery box via the Utilities menu.

Can you add a checkbox to disable HL2 weapons?
Violent Sleepy Reason 25 Oct, 2024 @ 3:26pm 
Any other way to add more weapons in the box, can't seem to find other ways to.
tyler525 21 Oct, 2024 @ 3:14pm

Hoff  [author] 29 Oct, 2023 @ 7:56am 
Yeah it works with most weapon addons
Christian goose 27 Oct, 2023 @ 10:35am

Can you make nmoney 2 compatible to spent money and open the box pls
StickMan 7 May, 2023 @ 7:38pm 
Can we make a DarkRP based one that costs money to open?
Hoff  [author] 7 May, 2023 @ 6:40pm 
The steam workshop should auto update the old one, did you manually extract it separately?
Jpr0ductionz 7 May, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
I still have the old version of the box, and I can't find it in my mods to remove it. Really need serious help.

I'm trying to add guns to the list and it won't add them. I just get a buzzing sound.
River Rat 25 Apr, 2023 @ 7:46am 
There are several SWEPs that run into this issue that I have, they probably have one unifying issue that they are running into, I've ran into the issue with:
007 Golden Gun Swep (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2689178374)
Dr>Breen's Private Reserve Weaponry (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2506186936)
Wasteland Weaponry (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1244116107)

I think there is a few others, but no other mod I use come to mind, hopefully Steam will allow the links, thank you for your time.
Hoff  [author] 24 Apr, 2023 @ 1:07pm 
What SWEP is having the issue?
River Rat 24 Apr, 2023 @ 11:05am 
Not a big issue, but the box default some SWEPs to CS:S and HL2 models in when previewing in the box, any way to fix this? They spawn normally with the Spawn tool but the box switches the model
UNCLAIMEDYEW 17 Apr, 2023 @ 7:45pm 
thanks bro i love this mod so much if i didn't have it i would actually kill myself.
Flakes Gaming 4 Apr, 2023 @ 7:52pm 
arc9 support would be sick
Trilogical 3 Apr, 2023 @ 6:50am 
how to add other mod weapons?
FruitBerryCrunch 2 Apr, 2023 @ 11:28am 
I have found the culprit! The addon is called "Fazbear's Ultimate Pill Pack Remaster" You can simply copy that name and paste it onto the search bar and it should be the first thing that pops up.
Hoff  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 8:36am 
Ok awesome, glad to hear that. Let me know if you figure out which one and I’ll try to add a fix
FruitBerryCrunch 2 Apr, 2023 @ 8:33am 
Ok. I have every addon disabled except this one and it's working fine now. So, it's definitely a conflicting addon. I'm gonna try to find it.
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 10:01pm 
Without going into more detail I can't help you, you're going to need to provide steps for recreating the issue, what addons you have, etc
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:53pm 
I do not have any re-uploads of the mystery box.
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:41pm 
Do you have any other mystery box reuploads or anything that could conflict? It uses the hook name "CreateMBoxConvars" which hooks into Initialize, that checks if the convar exists, and if it doesn't it'll create it. Somehow that's not being run, even though it should.
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:35pm 
Sandbox.
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:33pm 
What gamemode are you running it in?
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:32pm 
I still get it the error. Not only that, but the console claims that that's an unknown command.
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:26pm 
Try typing: MysteryBox_MaxSpins 0
in the console
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:24pm 
This is on singleplayer.
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:24pm 
Yes.
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:22pm 
Also -- is this on a dedicated server, single player, etc?
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:21pm 
Right, if you open the spawn list, under utilities on the right, if you change the "max spins" slider, does it still cause the error when using it?
FruitBerryCrunch 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
I'm guessing that's something that appears in the console?
Hoff  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 9:10pm 
Does the console recognize that the convar "MysteryBox_MaxSpins" exists?
