KillReward
Forget the Gift Boxes. Make All rewards in ANY container
My server is a light RP/Survival one and the idea of wrapped presents dropping just bugged me.
But, the idea of the government rewarding zed kills with timely items with goods needed to better survive fit our lore better.

So, I have turned of the gift boxes completely. I ONLY drop "Weapon Boxes"--but the stuff is in ANY CONTAINER you specify.

Lots of variables are ignored and the stuff is just considered a box bonus. if it doesn't fit, it goes on the ground next to it. I have used the frying pan, the small dry bag, a WWII vest, different packs and bags..whatever you want. Just try it out. It took me a long time to determine how to do this, with a lot of trial and error.

This is part of my KRWeponBoxConfig.json:

{
"KillRewardWEAPONBOX": [
{
"BoxNumber": 1,
"Box": "SmallProtectorCase",
"BoxWeapon": "",
"BoxWeaponBayonet": "",
"BoxWeaponButtstock": "",
"BoxWeaponHandguard": "",
"BoxWeaponsuppressor": "",
"BoxWeaponSight": "",
"BoxWeaponMagazin": "",
"BoxMagazinQuantity": 0,
"BoxBonus": [
"ChernarusMap",
"Battery9V",
"alp_Coin2",
"alp_USD5",
"AmmoBox_762x54_20Rnd"
]
},
{
"BoxNumber": 2,
"Box": "WaterproofBag_Orange",
"BoxWeapon": "",
"BoxWeaponBayonet": "",
"BoxWeaponButtstock": "",
"BoxWeaponHandguard": "",
"BoxWeaponsuppressor": "",
"BoxWeaponSight": "",
"BoxWeaponMagazin": "",
"BoxMagazinQuantity": 0,
"BoxBonus": [
"PersonalRadio",
"Battery9V",
"alp_Money10",
"Honey",
"AmmoBox_762x54_20Rnd",
"AmmoBox_762x54_20Rnd"
]

As I said, I have the gift boxes turned off:
{
"KillRewardGIFT": {
"PlayerGift": 0,
"GiftLifetime": 5,
"Giftbox": [],
"Giftdrink": [],
"Gifteat": [],
"Gifttools": [],
"Giftmedical": []
},
"version": 9
}

If you want to see it working, give my server a try:

will the "choice" loot container disappear once a player loots it?

I don't believe so. This is partly why I use my own containers. I try to make them something useful rather than the wooden crates. Anything that doesn't fit in the container will just spawn near it.
