[HOWTO] Adding a player statusBar

piX · December 29, 2014

This will add a fairly simple statusBar to the bottom centre of the players' screen. The size, colour and position is easily customizable. The initial script is taken from midgetgrimms Altis 'statusbar' script. I have adapted it to suit Epoch. All Credits go the original Author of the script, I have just ported it for use in Epoch.

INSTRUCTIONS

1: Copy the 'dialogs' and 'scripts' folders into your ROOT mission Folder (with init.sqf and description.ext)

2: Add this to your init.sqf

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

3: Add this to the bottom of your description.ext

class RscTitles
{

#include "dialog\statusBar.hpp"
};

Customization:

statusBar.hpp:

x = safezoneX + safezoneW - 1.80; // changes movement along the X axis (centred by default)
y = safezoneY + safezoneH - 0.04; // changes the movement along the Y axis

size = 0.03; // changes the size of the text

style = 0; // change to zero if the right-end text dissapears when player count is >9 or damage is taken.

color = "#b20000"; // Changes the colour of the text

statusBar.sqf:

_time = (round(240-(serverTime)/60));  //edit the '240' (60*4=240) to change the countdown timer if your server restarts are shorter or longer than 4 hour intervals

There ARE other options you can add to the statusBar which I will be happy to post/explain if needed.

Thankyou to Izzer and Darth_Rogue for your Input.

Enjoy :)

For some reason cannot get it to show up? My server files did not have a description.ext so I added the one provided.

Love it! Thank you

Richie · December 31, 2014

Nice :)

Izzer · December 31, 2014

Do the init.sqf and description.ext need to be packaged in the mission .pbo?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I apologize ahead of time as I am new to this that and in case my resolution seems obvious, that is why.

As blckeagls pointed out to me(thanks for the help btw) depending on your hosting provider, you may need to deploy the mission and scripts a certain way.

For us, on our dedicated server, we are running custom mission files (pbo's). I had to package, the init.sqf, description.ext and scripts folder in with my mission.pbo file.

Mission file looks like this:

epoch.altis.pbo

init.sqf

description.ext

mission.sqm

scripts/fn_statusBar.sqf(scripts = a directory/folder containing fn_statusBar.sqf)

Init.sql file: As you can see [] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf"; was added at the bottom.

//Wait until these variables are broadcasted to the client (usually happens before the init gets executed)

waitUntil{!isNil {SEM_removeMagazinesFromDeadAI}};
//diag_log format["#SEM DEBUG: variables received: Weapons %1 - Magazines %2", SEM_removeWeaponsFromDeadAI, SEM_removeMagazinesFromDeadAI];


fn_createMissionMarker = {	private["_create","_markerPos","_markerName","_marker"];

Sorry for the lack of response guys. Had a pretty big new years :P

For some reason cannot get it to show up? My server files did not have a description.ext so I added the one provided.

It is in your mission files bud, not the server files. So, usually located in the mpmissions folder. Some providers customize the name of that folder to something else. Edit the init.sqf and description.ext in there ;)

I apologize ahead of time as I am new to this that and in case my resolution seems obvious, that is why.

Thanks for your input there my friend ;)

The reason I added a separate file for the statusbar.hpp is to keep the description.ext tidier (I hate clutter). But your way works as well.

Thank you also for the BE Filters, that's something I was going to sit down and do today, I will anyway, just to confirm your findings :)

If my head isn't still pounding later tonight, I will edit the OP. Otherwise its a tomorrow morning job.

Hope it works for you all :) Any issues - feel free to PM me :D

Our server has a auto restart every 6 hours. How can i show the time in minutes to restart in the status bar as countdown?

Edit:

OK, got it working...

(360-(round(serverTime/60)))

...but how to get the bar longer for more text?

In statusBar.hpp play with these values:

class statusBarText {
			idc = 1000;
			x = safezoneX + safezoneW - 2.0;
			y = safezoneY + safezoneH - 0.04;
			w = 1.25;
			h = 0.04;

the x value is left and right. A higher value moves it all further to the left

the w value is how wide the bar is. A higher value will give you more room to add stuff

When you change the width you will also have to change the left/right values to keep it centered. You'll just have to play with it until you get it how you want.

Thank you very much! ...testing ;)

If i wanted to show the user his steam id in the statusbar how could I do so? Since most of the objects are saved in the database by their steam id.

piX · January 1, 2015

Thanks for your input there, Darth_Rogue. I will be sure to update the OP with those changes ;)

I will look into it ;)

good script I like it,

One question, if I wanted the servers next restart countdown rather than grid ref, how would I do this?

piX · January 2, 2015

((uiNamespace getVariable "osefStatusBar")displayCtrl 1000)ctrlSetText format["FPS: %1 | PLAYERS: %2 | DAMAGE: %3 | KRYPTO: %4 | HUNGER: %5 | THIRST: %6 | GRIDREF: %7 | RESTART IN: %8:%9", round diag_fps, count playableUnits, damage player, EPOCH_playerCrypto, EPOCH_playerHunger, EPOCH_playerThirst, mapGridPosition player, _hours, _minutes, _counter];

In this line. REMOVE the GRIDREF: %7 and mapGridPosition player. Replace the RESTART IN: %8:%9 with %7:%8. So it should look like this..

((uiNamespace getVariable "osefStatusBar")displayCtrl 1000)ctrlSetText format["FPS: %1 | PLAYERS: %2 | DAMAGE: %3 | KRYPTO: %4 | HUNGER: %5 | THIRST: %6 | RESTART IN: %7:%8", round diag_fps, count playableUnits, damage player, EPOCH_playerCrypto, EPOCH_playerHunger, EPOCH_playerThirst, _hours, _minutes, _counter];

piyrez · January 2, 2015

Love this script, thank you so much. I changed the color to blue and removed the grid. I'd rather people find a GPU for their grid (or know how to use the map.)

Has anyone been able to change the font type?

I've tried TahomaB, but it doesn't look like it is changing at all.

also, anyone know what type and style do?

Does this need an update to the BE filters?

(thank you by the way)

Yes for the variable round diag_fps, and custom variable.
