Easy Kill feed/messages w/study & bury body function (Beta)

[Halvhjearne]

Im not sure i found the best way to do it, but it works and currently i do not see a better way (maybe epoch devs can shed some light on how this would be done better or perhaps integrate this?), i havent seen anything about killmessages anywhere and i guess some servers might have been waiting for something like this for a bit now, so here it is:

 

with this installed, you can easily setup the following types of killmessages:

 

 

sideChat //note that sideChat only shows if more than one player is on the server (not that it matters much)

globalChat

systemChat

titleText

cutText

hint

hintSilent

dynamictext

 

 

obviusly you can switch any of these on or off (in settings.sqf) and besides this, it can add a custom channel to your server with the name and/or colour you specify at the top of the settings file ...

 

 

you can also swith on/off if you want it to show killfeed from players killed by ai or simmular (alltho sappers will currently show as error: no vehicle, as there is no killer left to check).

 

to install this, all you need to do is put all files in a folder called "addons\messages" in your mission, edit settings as you like and add this line:

[] execVM "addons\messages\init.sqf";

to the very bottom of your init.sqf if that does not work, try at the top.

 

if you have A3EAI it might be a good idea to move this line:

#include "A3EAI_Client\A3EAI_initclient.sqf";

to the very bottom of your init.

 

(you can also edit the second line of settings.sqf to match your prefered folder structure)

as requested i have now added a study body function to this.

 

here is a picture of how the killfeeds look:

 

(note that the red custom chat is now unsupported by me)

Thanks for the Share 
But Can we install this ServerSided ?
I don't like putting all my server stuff Client Sided so people wouldn't just unpack the pbo and take all the scripts and stuff from it :)

some of this is on the client, so currently no.

lol, dude ... you do realize that anyone that comes by this forum can get this now, right?

 

would be more work to unpack your pbo to get it then ...

I've been lucky to have this the last couple of days and it's awesome :)

Great job Halvhjearne

i am trying upload a minor edit, but aparently i cant remove or add anything to the post ...

[Darth_Rogue]

With the attachments on the site functions being wonky I moved all my stuff to Github.  You might want to do the same, at least until they get the site fixed.

github and me arent exactly pals at the moment, it does not want to do what i want it to and i guess i do not have much patience with it ...

[Darth_Rogue]

Could also post a dropbox link to a zip file.

[Richie]

Dropbox works well, each time you update the link URL stays the same, no need to edit then :)

anyway to turn down how long the message stays up? 

[DirtySanchez]

Very nice work, public loves it. Thanks again Halv

wich of the messages is it you want to change?

i could understand if it was something exclusive that only you had on your server, but since it is right here on the forum (and i think most server owners swing by here at some point) i dont think you need to worry about someone "stealing" your pbo just for this.

[R4ziel]

Could you show us an example of how this works and looks perhaps, i'd be keen to see :)

[Ghostrider-GRG]

Very nice add on that works perfectly and which could not have been simpler to install or configure. Thank you for sharing it !

[R4ziel]

Thanks for the preview, It looks brilliant, implementing this tonight and will play around with it a bit.

[DirtySanchez]

Great design plenty of choices on how to get the message to the players.

Now all I need is a stat tracker for bandit and hero!

[R4ziel]

Im not sure if Im missing something here, but im only getitng it to show text unformatted, not with colours and pics like int he preview...

 

Any suggestions?

im not exactly sure what you mean, but i havent heard of any problems yet ... if ai kills you it will only show in white text also it depends on what options you switched on/off in the settings, what type of killfeed you will get.

 

edit:

i just tested it and everything works just fine.

[DirtySanchez]

Second test after the fact on different test server full install and configure. All is ok

Apparently Mods are unable to remove attachments. Or at least I can't find it?

[RC_Robio]

Go to your profile then edit profile, and you can manage attachments there.

thanks, but what a complicated and unlogical way to do that ...

hello, 
I used exactly the same data that you post at pastebin and i did not get the kill feed

when i get killed the rp says
 

22:52:53 "[KillFeed]: Server starting EPOCH_deadPlayer_PVS loop"

22:52:53 WARNING: Function 'name' - Atom_Monky is dead

22:52:53 "[KillFeed]: PKILL: Atom_Monky was killed by PflaumenMonster with srifle_GM6_F from 5.00896m"

I don´t know why i get no kill messages ingame.

are there any BE filters ?
if you need any other information ask please.
