Sapper sounds are in client files. In the a3_epoch_assets.pbo    But here you go.  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8CgDuGKQHaId3NfazVTbmF3ZDg

It is only an experience of some players.
For me it´s ok also, only one time i had this bug for myself. But they did this change in the options and never had that problem anymore.

Sorry I haven't been up to date with my Navis project.  I've shelved Navis and started working on a smaller terrain, something a little more realistic as a first project.
I'll keep the post I have over at BI forums updated: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/192242-wip-iwagi-japan/

Coins is a community script, nothing to do with epoch mod directly. To be fair at this point that coin system has had so many modifications by so many contributors that cause of this could be many things.
Either way, if this is a new server installation for you, then you just probably missed or messed up code that saves money value in SQL database server side.

I'd delete it instantly ;)
The new custom zed code is geared more toward real world recognition, I try to avoid 'cheating' when crafting the antagonists brains.
For example, the sense of smell, this was started with the sapper, but now is refined and works on a configurable distance and uses wind direction.
The sapper is weighted by the targets position in some circumstances, this gives him an unrealistic awareness of your position.
At the time we were more concerned with keeping performance levels up over larger numbers of antagonists and wanted to keep the current antagonist 'active'.
We are about to add some more behaviour for the zeds, making use of the crouching and eating dead bodies and introducing faster zombies.
Am interested in feedback for the zed behaviour, have tried to make the current slow ones more dangerous in numbers and trying to allow some emergent behaviour based on more simple rules.
For the zeds, try hiding. Their sight is governed by a newer function in Arma. However they will smell you if the wind changes :)

Tanoa is running, Awol has configured the core support and Axle is helping him setup the loot spawns on the new buildings, tedious work :)
We also have a trader city made, mission system is getting some pre release tweaks and Ryan's support is being tested with some discussions going on about how best to support some decent spawn numbers for zeds.
Dev servers are currently running the test versions.

Brings back memories of good old dayz when we used to run in and out of woods just to lose single zombie :)
I knew a trick that would let them trip and fall to death over small terrain bumps.

It could well be time to review the wiki supplier.

* Ryans Zombies support is disabled by default, you must set this variable ( https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L28 ) to true and add "Ryanzombies" cfgPatches classname to your missions addOns[] array ( https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/mpmissions/epoch.Tanoa/mission.sqm#L22-L25 ) to prevent players from joining without the mod enabled. 

Distinct and clear categories. Rifles; pistols; lmg; snipers and their corresponding ammo are clear distinct filters in trade menu. Of course this should be same for food and drink; being separate from building materials and crafted building items; with ore and metals and gems also being discrete filters as well.
The design of the UI in my opinion works, it is the functionality of it that needs major overhaul with a clearer filter system as discussed above, but know that with the work you have already done in overhauling other parts of UI that it will be an improvement.

Hey folks
I'm currently working on 3 other smaller-ish projects, but before I get to the new trader menu revamp, which is quite large project, I'd like to hear what you guys actually want in it. Any idea is worth considering.
Please tell me about the stuff you like or dislike in current system, too.
Thank you

Not a bad idea on the 'Classic' section of the forum, I'll raise the idea with the rest of the team..
We're in for the long haul and hope that once Epoch 3 matures some of the players might come back. It is a bit dis-heartening when you spend hours working on an antagonist and the first question you're asked is how to switch them off because they are killing people. Duh, that's how we designed them :)

Ryan's zombies + Axemans skillz = awesome

Yes, I said the Z word, what we've all been waiting for, including me :)
With Ryan's blessing we are officially supporting his excellent Zombies and Demons mod. This will be a plug in, if Zombies and Demons is installed (server and client) the Epoch additions will automatically kick in and provide a unique support.
This has been started in Experimental.
Currently it requires a few tweaks to the built in code to be able to merge the two mods, in short we are creating an 'Epoch Ryan's Zombie', amongst other surprises.
What this thread is for is as a place to request features for the zombies. How will our recently deceased think and react, what skills will they have etc. ? That said, the thread is open to all opinions and thoughts. What do you want to see ?
We have a raft of ideas and have been testing some unique ideas. We're currently basing the 'zombie brain' on the sapper code, in that he / she can think for itself, can smell the target and has some base emotions that drives its behaviour.
To cover some of the already built in behaviour we have :
Attack: pretty self explanatory, it will attack when in range. Hide: if Attacked or shot near, fear will build up to a point where the few remaining brain cells sends our antagonist to a safe spot, for later.. Stalk: if you've been snuck up on by a Sapper this is why. They can gauge your average direction and aim for your blind spot. My personal favourite. Loiter: Sappers wander a bit in the same area, am thinking this could translate to a static behaviour where the life challenged hibernate and wait for input. Groan : pretty random to be honest. Smell: using wind direction, there is some weighting done on how aware the antagonist is of its target. Fear: being aware of groups of armed players, being shot (or shot at) increases fear . Anger: just seeing the happy survivors going about their life angers our antagonist, shooting at them just upsets them more. There is more emergent AI behaviour being worked on for a future release.
Ultimately, we want to honour Ryan's work and keep the existing behaviour and enhance / emulate it for Epoch, they are great Zombies after all.
Thoughts anyone ?

Nice! Will get a dev server running it soon as I can.

Nothing else to say just now but
 

 
For now though it has a license issue, it won't launch and Arma will ask to purchase, it won't hopefully take long to fix </hype>
Launch issues resolved, happy hunting

are you serious with this? I checked the date, it's not April 1st!! how can server stop allowing loot?

Vehicle towing / lifting is debatable, as mentioned above its difficult without a vehicle to, well get anywhere, particularly on servers where established groups are out to get everyone. 
Adding further vehicle hogging ability is just going to add to that and put off new starters.
For me, this is the biggest problem, people love the concept, join a busy server then get endlessly shot on sight (or sniped from afar) until they get fed up and try another mod / game.
I have felt this on a 'popular server in the UK', played for nearly two weeks with my lad and we almost had enough gear to build a jammer.
Granted we did make some newbie mistakes, parking a found chopper near the central trader and spending many lives keeping it locked and trying to repair it only to be taken out every time by a patient (with a local base) sniper, so they could take it and sell it.
We managed to get most of the way across the island, up north. Investigating a base from our boat and being taken out by someone well armed again was the final straw.
I think what i am getting at is there needs to be a leveling of the playing field before giving more advantages to the established players / groups. In my opinion.
Something that doesn't involve crawling across Altis in prone and hiding in ditches.
I know there are going to be cries of 'go play Minecraft', from the established and people able to spend all day and night keeping that foothold. They are all salty tears to my ears :)

Loot suggestion:
Randomly spawned apples, salad under trees.
Started modelling with Blender the last weekend but currently the apples look more like a eggplant. Guess i have to practice a bit more..

AWOL is as busy as always. I am back a bit lately. Have just released an add-on to the player death that adds a bit of fun, is currently on experimental servers.
I have a task / mission system that is being finished off for release very soon. The idea is to add some stories and mini game play along with the classic shoot AI / hunt the box type missions. This will replace the trader missions, or can be triggered by an event, and allows for editing / creating your own tasks and stories / missions via the config. The missions will be persistent over logging off/on but not currently over server restarts. I expect restart persistence will be required, at some point, for longer missions.
There are a couple of AI characters also in the pipeline, mainly support characters that interact with you in game and either help out or act as part of the story lines, one guy is an antagonist of sorts, the crazy looter is his working title, naturally his weapon of choice is a hatchet.
They are currently able to follow you around, react to the environment, interact with vehicles as you get in and out, follow you, loot (WIP), react to combat situations etc.
I have experimented with an AI character and building, very crude at the moment but some of the 'structures' are interesting, even artistic on one or two cases :)
My main aim at the moment is to get the task system finished and create some story lines. Also tested out generating several antagonists on a group of three or four, the firefight was intense so expect that to be an aspect of at least one of the missions.

awol releases updates several times a week. I can't even keep up with his updates. Also, his updates can be put on your server right away, unlike Exile, which you need to wait for the next release. Exile became too much of a "get rich quick - give me everything now" experience for me, which is why I came back to Epoch and it's also why I haven't added much to my server. 

Try the files here (use at your own risk, but we have been using them without incident for some time now)
 
To run them you need python 2.7.x installed, then just run the .bat files after editing the location of your python.exe in the bat files, and your database info in the py files.
 
The cleanup program creates a txt file with the results, so you can see if it is worth running the remove vehicle file, and also removes any traders that have spawned without inventory.

Wait..
Ok i am over it.
To say exile is "probably" the best, just reflects your own subjective opinion. And if i read your last 6 posts here on the forums i get confirmed by that. (Exile Merchandise Contract?)
Doesnt mean exile is bad, but as KPABATOK some time ago said:
And it is exactly what it is. A lot of players nowadays dont want any challenge e.g. looting and so on. If they cant build a base within 40 mins they are pretty much "pissed" and flame around what a shit mod it is and where the hell is the "autorun key"?!
Epoch is a survival mod. And hopefully it will stay like that!
The Epoch community has the problem (my opinion), that a lot of good scripters and knowledge left.
In Exile is a lot of stuff premade from the devs. So easy going with the mod for the serveradmins.
 
Anyway, enough good Epoch servers with decent admins and players out there.

Navigate to your workshop directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
Delete Folder 455221958
Then to your Arma 3 root: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3
Delete @ EpochExperimental
--steam should start a fresh download of Experimental when you go to start Arma again.

Best practice is make sure it is correct. And not sure how gamepedia works. But I would assume that the original author would have to actually approve the content before it could be committed live. Not sure on that though.
