Importing and Exporting

Loot Table Templates can be imported and exported to/from .csv and .json files.

Usage

Importing

info

You can't use the import menu from the Content Browser to import a loot table template. You must create an asset first and then use the 'Reimport' or 'Reimport From New File' commands in the asset editor toolbar.

E.g., you can't use this:

You must instead use this:

Exporting

Right click on any existing asset in the content browser and select Export as CSV or Export as JSON:

Formats

For the following examples, suppose we have the following loot table:

Loot Table (Unlimited)
Row Name	Ref Table	Ref Row Name	Weight	Ref Mode	Weight Inherit Mode
Apple	Fruits	Apple	100	Row	Parent
Banana	Fruits	Banana	100	Row	Parent
Orange	Fruits	Orange	100	Row	Parent

Csv

The CSV format includes one column for each property in the authoring tab:

Csv Table A

RowName,RefTable,RefRowName,Weight,Count,RefMode,WeightInheritMode
"Apple","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Apple","100","0","Row","Parent"
"Banana","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Banana","100","0","Row","Parent"
"Orange","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Orange","100","0","Row","Parent"

You may omit some columns, in which case each omitted column will receive a default value for each row. E.g.:

Partial CSV Table A

RowName,RefTable,RefRowName,Weight
"Apple","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Apple","100"
"Banana","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Banana","100"
"Orange","DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'","Orange","100"

Json

The JSON format expects an array containing objects for each row; each object has fields for each property:

Json Table B

[
    {
        "RowName": "Apple",
        "RefTable": "DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'",
        "RefRowName": "Apple",
        "Weight": 100,
        "Count": 0,
        "RefMode": "Row",
        "WeightInheritMode": "Parent"
    },
    {
        "RowName": "Banana",
        "RefTable": "DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'",
        "RefRowName": "Banana",
        "Weight": 100,
        "Count": 0,
        "RefMode": "Row",
        "WeightInheritMode": "Parent"
    },
    {
        "RowName": "Orange",
        "RefTable": "DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'",
        "RefRowName": "Orange",
        "Weight": 100,
        "Count": 0,
        "RefMode": "Row",
        "WeightInheritMode": "Parent"
    }
]

You may omit some properties, in which case each omitted property will receive a default value:

Partial Json Table B

[
    {
        "RowName": "Apple",
        "RefTable": "DataTable'/Game/Stoch/DataTables/DT_Fruits.DT_Fruits'",
        "RefRowName": "Apple",
        "Weight": 100
    }
]
