  2. Vehicle Locking System

    in Discussion

    Posted

    I am not against adding it back as I know that was a key feature of ours. If keys are added we need to consider how it might be done better as having to write external events to purge vehicles that are abandoned without any keys, etc. is a mess. Virtual keys maybe the way to go as adding 12500+ classes just to have keys in your inventory was also not ideal either but it did work.

    If you want to propose the changes needed to make "virtual keys" happen I would welcome the challenge of merging it and making it work.

  3. Never tried Epoch, some questions.

    First, A3 Epoch game mode exists almost solely inside the mission file so it is possible to change nearly anything in the game mode you do not like. 

    Loot, should be better balanced now than ever before, but that is not to say we have it perfected yet. Most your better stuff will be found in pelican cases that are normally only found in military areas.

    It is possible to have roaming AI and I am sure there are scripts on this forum to do just that. 

    We have static trader cities that provide protection and we have lone traders that exist out in the world, and they have a feature that can be enabled that allows them to go home or to work at a preset work schedule. Enable by changing this line  https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/%40epochhive/epochconfig.hpp#L67  to false to give it a try. (It is disabled by default just to be a little more performant out of the box) 

    forceStaticTraders = "false";

     

    Also, to get a quick start into A3 Epoch on Linux check out the docker image I made:

  7. Custom Crafting

    in Scripting

    7 hours ago, TheVampire said:

    Looks like you would have to change a lot. Looks like crafting is handled by "epoch_code/gui/scripts/craftingv2/EPOCH_crafting_craft.sqf".

    I think that is client-side so not sure you can change it.

     
     
     
     

    It is in the mission file as with all our gamemode stuff. The Client mod is more just for assets these days. @natoed For the actual buildables, it might require some additional client side configs depending on what you are wanting to add.

  14. Epoch 0.5 / static weather

    in Discussion

    Posted

    @82ndAB_Bravo17 You are 100% correct, I made this mistake. params make the variables local to the innermost code block and the reason most of the privates are done at the top of a script, instead of at the instantiation point of a variable.

    it is just like using: 

    private _variableName = "somedata";

    have fixed this for the next experimental build: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/experimental/Sources/epoch_server_settings/EpochEvents/ChangeWeather.sqf#L26-L36

  19. All-In-One Docker based Arma 3 Epoch Linux Server

    in Tutorials

    Posted

    The goal of this Docker image is to automate the install and setup of a Linux based Arma 3 server with the latest stable version of Epoch.

    1. First, install docker: https://www.docker.com/.

    2. Next, Start by pulling the docker image:  

      docker pull epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

       https://hub.docker.com/r/epochmodteam/arma3epochserver/

    3. Then start the server: 
      docker run --rm -e STEAM_USERNAME='[email protected]' -e STEAM_PASSWORD='YourPassW0rd' --privileged -p 2302-2306:2302-2306/udp -it epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

      Note: the --rm here removes the server when stopped

    Change the STEAM_USERNAME and STEAM_PASSWORD before running, as you must login to be able to download Arma 3 server files and workshop mods.

    You can alternatively add a "credentials" file to the location you are running the command from and instead of specifying -e STEAM_USERNAME='[email protected]' -e STEAM_PASSWORD='YourPassW0rd' via command line use:
    --env-file credentials 

    [email protected]
STEAM_PASSWORD=YourPassW0rd
     

    If you want to persist data add the -v C:\Docker\data:/data option below and change the folder "C:\Docker\data" to a location you want to store the redis database. (Note: You will need to setup the Shared Drive in Docker > Settings.) 

    docker run --rm -e --env-file credentials --privileged -v C:\Docker\data:/data -p 2302-230:2302-2306/udp -it epochmodteam/arma3epochserver

     
    Also, Epoch Experimental can be installed using: epochmodteam/arma3epochserver:experimental
