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.

Since the update my mods all show signature mismatch, I noticed some other epoch servers also show this, what's up?

Thanks Grahame. I verified the update this morning fixed it.

ARMA3 discord. Hotfix expected tomorrow morning, US time... may be delayed again.

It's not April 1st yet 

The A2 OA 1.64 update will add callExtension support so you should be able to use the linux version of extDB for hive functionality. I haven't tested it yet, but the hive pbo will need some modification

@lammeronline, your errors are in the lines that contains "getPlateNumber" and "setPlateNumber".
These are new commands introduced in Arma 1.82.
Could it just be that you have to update your Arma Server files?

updated

This is currently a bug. It will be fixed with the next update. Not your fail ;)
Why it is not shown, I have no idea. Normally it is only not shown, if you have added it as "servermod" in the start params...
What is the Server ip?

here is what i use for my local-host(testing) saved in a bat file, but everything is under one folder.....
@echo off START "arma3_x64.exe" "arma3server_x64.exe" -serverMod=@EpochHive;@Epoch;@CUP_Terrains_Core;@Chernarus_Redux;@Ravage;@CBA_A3;@A3EAI;@Flying_Saucer;@NATO_Rus_Vehicle;@FAP_Units;@RDS_Civilian_Pack;@Zombies_and_Demons;@Enhanced_Movement;@Advanced_Towing;@Advanced_Sling_Loading;@RealisticUnitsRagdoll; -mod=@Epoch;@CUP_Terrains_Core;@Chernarus_Redux;@Ravage;@CBA_A3;@NATO_Rus_Vehicle;@FAP_Units;@RDS_Civilian_Pack;@Flying_Saucer;@Zombies_and_Demons;@Enhanced_Movement; -config=SC\config.cfg -Port=2307 -profiles=SC -cfg=SC\basic.cfg -name=SC -autoInit  

You don't need mods in both the -servermod and -mod sections of the command line.
Mods that are needed by both the client and the server go in the -mod section. All clients that join will need these mods, and it is these mods that show up in the server browser as being needed to join.
Mods that are only needed by the server go in the -servermod section. Clients do not need these mods in order to join the server. You can also put optional mods in this section if the server needs to have them as well - clients will not need them to be able to join, but will be able to use them if they have them loaded.

After some weeks without sun and without healthy food, we come to the next state... EPOCH-Mod 1.2!
We have spent a lot of time to fix / add and change a lot for you in this release.
Hopefully we have not added more bugs than new features, so you get to experience our work without issues.

well, some of that is correct. Nobody can stop server hosts from making their servers easy. It all comes from the hosts trying to tempt players onto their servers by making it easy, I think.

Was working today and started thinking about what exactly was the turn off to playing Epoch for me. I love the community and a majority of what the mod experience offers, but I don't find myself playing vanilla at all. I came to the conclusion that the biggest reason to me is how the traders currently are.
I think the way the traders only sell sold items is great, but it causes a problem. A vanilla server starts with empty traders, and that doesn't make sense. Why organize a whole trader city if all the trader has to sell is a few drinks and cans of meat? If there's a trader city then the traders obviously have goods to sell.
It also doesn't make sense that every trader buys the same items at the same server prices. That's not how life works. Instead the traders should be varied. One should sell mainly guns and related gear, but if you are really hurting to sell an item, he will take it for cheap enough.
Another gripe is that there are too many traders on the map, which leads to the inventory problems traders have anyways.
So what do I suggest? Traders in cities should specialize in specific goods and give the best prices on them, yet still buy everything else with extra tax. They should be split between cities. Roaming traders should remain the same, but offer worse prices than the specialists.
Thoughts?
 

Better late than never.
