Barbells and Dumbells Are More Rare in 41.54 than 41.53

I like making bases in school, and I used to find the occasional barbell and dumbbell in the lockers.

I haven't found them recently though.

Have I just been unlucky lately?  Was I imagining things before?

No.  The distributions have changed.  Here is a clip from the ProceduralDistributions.lua file in 41.54:

    CrateFitnessWeights = {
        rolls = 4,
        items = {
            "DumbBell", 10,
            "BarBell", 4,
            "Hat_Sweatband", 8,
            "Shoes_BlueTrainers", 4,
            "Shoes_RedTrainers", 4,
            "Shoes_TrainerTINT", 8,
            "Shorts_LongSport", 6,
            "Shorts_ShortSport", 8,
            "Socks_Long", 6,
            "Tshirt_Sport", 8,
            "Tshirt_SportDECAL", 6,
            "Vest_DefaultTEXTURE_TINT", 10,
            "Vest_DefaultTEXTURE_TINT", 10,
        },

That is the only place in the 41.54 lua files that mention DumbBells and BarBells.

And where can "CrateFitnessWeights" be found?  If you look in Distributions.lua, you see they are found in the following locations where crates are found:

• Bedrooms
• Garages
• Storage Units

For 41.53, the barbells and dumbells can be found in more locations.  Here's what I see when I grep in 41.53:

grep -ri "barbell"
Distributions.lua:                "BarBell", 0.3,
Distributions.lua:                "BarBell", 0.3,
Distributions.lua:                "BarBell", 0.5,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:                "BarBell", 100,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:            "BarBell", 0.3,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:            "BarBell", 0.3,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:            "BarBell", 0.2,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:            "BarBell", 0.2,
ProceduralDistributions.lua:            "BarBell", 0.3,

If you actually look in the 41.53 Distributions.lua and ProceduralDistributions.lua files, you see them in:

• Change Room Lockers
• Police Storage Lockers
• Security Lockers
• Fitness Crates (like in 41.54, but with different weights)
• Lockers
• Classy Lockers
• Men's Wardrobes
• Classy Men's Wardrobes
• Redneck Wardrobes

(But not Women's Wardrobes - that's a bit sexist, eh?)

So you are less likely to find barbells and dumbbells in 41.54.

Thanks for reading!  If you see any mistakes, or if you have any questions you'd like me to answer by looking at the code, let me know!
