Hello
I have a question. Is it allowed to create a new Mod that is based on Epoch?
So taking the Epoch pbo's and modify them as needed?
 
Thanks and kind regards
Roland

The development of Epoch Mod for DayZ Standalone has officially begun and we are seeking community collaborators to help develop Epoch Mod for DayZ Standalone.
The goal will be to make an open source and a community developed mod licensed as DayZ Public License Share Alike (DPL-SA). We are looking for community developers that want to work towards a common goal: Everyone working together to make all their work properly compatible and in one place.
If you want to become a Collaborator on the project you must:
Have references showing some of your work. Be able to fork, compile, test, and merge your changes on your own.  Submit work via pull request to the experimental GitHub branch found here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ_SA_Epoch/tree/experimental Contact one of the Epoch Devs in discord to get added to the community dev roles on discord. Agree to the code of conduct and that your work will be released via steam workshop by EpochModTeam and licensed as DPL-SA . We are accepting merge requests for following features:
Barter based NPC Traders - that only sell what has been sold to them and use in-game items as currency, Enemy Soldier AI, Trader Missions, Better Zombie AI, End game improvements, Lockable storage, Vehicle Ownership, Custom Items weapons, and vehicles of all types, End game improvements like skills and attributes. The development process is slower now due to the lack of documentation however progress should speed up with time. The first release of an experimental build should happen soon but we cannot give any time frames.

A bit of progress with the bot. Built in pathing I'm still to find, or wait for them to release to modders :)
I put some serious hours into a pathing / collision avoidance system for local agents that never made it into A3 Epoch. That's going to come in handy now. 
I will update with progress here and on the discord,  join here : https://discord.gg/0k4ynDDCsnMzkxk7

The team is working on it right now. We cannot give you any time for release at this point.

You can keep up to date on our discord server https://discord.gg/0k4ynDDCsnMzkxk7
And if you have any skills and free time you could also contribute to creating the mod, see here
 

Too early to tell, The only reason I bought DayZ SA game was because I wanted to mod it, but at this point, let's just hope that when/if DayZ SA Modding does release it has tons of documentation.

I've finally had time to build the Hive extension with a custom player check for a scripts bypass. it's rather basic but may still be quite effective for the majority of those bypassing the scripts filter.
To start you must download this custom HiveExt.dll (includes virtual garage calls) and edit your HiveExt.ini as in the one in the linked repo (add the Battleye section to your Hive.ini). https://github.com/icomrade/icomradeHiveEpoch/tree/master/Pre-Compiled
 
Some client side code is required, you can place it inside the !isDedicated check of init.sqf: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/Release_1.0.6.2/Server Files/MPMissions/DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus/init.sqf#L81
waitUntil {(getPlayerUID player) != ""}; LogMyLogin = [getPlayerUID player]; publicVariableServer "LogMyLogin";  
You also need to have a line which you log in scripts.txt. the simplest way to get 1 line per login is by adding a textLog to one vehicle's init line
for example add an object with an init line to your mission.sqm, or append you desired textLog line to it (this example uses textLog 'Amadeus Amadeus log me Amadeus'; )
class Vehicles { class Item0 { position[]={6391.9619, -0.29052943, 7790.3203}; azimut=487.7664; id=0; side=EMPTY; vehicle="TK_GUE_WarfareBLightFactory_base_EP1"; init="this setPos [6391.9619, 7790.3203, -0.29052943]; textLog 'Amadeus Amadeus log me Amadeus';"; skill=1; }; items=1; };  
Server side code is also required, in server_functions.sqf add after the Server_hiveWrite compile! https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/Release_1.0.6.2/SQF/dayz_server/init/server_functions.sqf#L172
DZE_LegitPlayers = []; DayZ_LegitCheck = { private ["_closeEnough","_index"]; _closeEnough = false; _index = -1; { private ["_PUID","_lastCheckTime"]; _PUID = _x select 0; _lastCheckTime = _x select 1; if (_PUID == _this select 0) exitWith { if ((_lastCheckTime + 60) > diag_tickTime_) then { _closeEnough = true; } else { _index = _forEachIndex; }; }; } forEach DZE_LegitPlayers; if (!_closeEnough) then { if (_index >= 0) then { DZE_LegitPlayers set [_index, [(_this select 0), Diag_TickTime]]; } else { DZE_LegitPlayers set [(count DZE_LegitPlayers), [(_this select 0), Diag_TickTime]]; }; _key = format["CHILD:777:%1:",_this select 0]; _key call server_hiveWrite; }; }; "LogMyLogin" addPublicVariableEventHandler {(_this select 1) call DayZ_LegitCheck;}; Finally be sure to add the log line to your battleye filter: scripts.txt!!!
for example
//check one thing at login 1 "Amadeus"  
Edit: You may want to manually review these bans, or not idc, but there are sometimes false positives. i.e. the scripts.txt filter fails to log and a legit player will not show up in the scripts.log, subsequently resulting in a ban (strange behavior, probably an issue with the scripts filter on battleye's end). I've observed failure to log on myself when testing, so I use a temp list and transfer overto my real ban list after review

In your case 973.9 could also be 973.90005, but the log will cut (round) it.
Thats what I expect to be the Problem.

I am a bit confused, because the player masscheck has failed.
But...
"DEBUG: Final Player mass check: FAILED (973.9 != 973.9)"
the masscheck should return true here.
Eventually @vbawol has an idea?
Is the output not as accurate as the internal values?
Should we eventually add a small tolerance into the script? 0.1 or so?
