ARMA3 DayZ Mission System (DZMS)
This is a purely derivative port of the DayZ Mission System to ARMA3/Epoch. I have added functionality where appropriate (equipping uniforms for example) and stripped and replaced ARMA2 or DayZ/Epoch specific code in this implementation.
The DayZ Mission System is a very good, lightweight and modular mission system.
Credits
There are a lot of people who have contributed to DZMS on A2/DayZ/Epoch. Please check the links below for many of them. Personally they all have my thanks for providing a solid mission system that has been a lot of fun to play in the years I've spent on DayZ/Epoch:
Download
Download from GitHub at:
https://github.com/morgoth0/A3E-DZMS
Installation Instructions
If using Vanilla ARMA3/Epoch, and you just want to just try it out simply download and upload the DZMS.pbo in the @EpochHive folder into the @EpochHive/addons folder on your server.
The source files, including the three config files are located in the DZMS folder on GitHub
Coming soon
All the missions included within the latest version of DZMS 1.1 uploaded by @JasonTM will be implemented using CUP Terrains Core for use on maps and servers that support it. A module to support Static weapons at missions More diverse and varied loot tables for custom crates A port of the DZMS Hotspots code for roadblocks and other such interesting things The ability to run multiple major, minor and hotspot missions Better configuration instructions and a mission file design tutorial

Hello Epoch-Community!
Today I want to release our RLNT Weapon HUD!
Basic information:
Game version: Epoch 1.0.6.2 (Overwatch and Origins compatible)
Maps: compatible with all maps
Addons: compatible with all addons

The RLNT Weapon HUD grants a clean visual HUD for all Epoch players to display their weapons. Also you can setup something that we call Quick-Slot-Items.
These are items you can choose which will be also displayed in the HUD and accessible by hotkeys.
I know you want to see how it looks like so here is a little preview:

Feature requests and bug reporting:
We have an own chart to display all things we are currently working, things that are already done and things that are already suggested or reported.
Look it up here!
If you want to report or suggest anything else that is NOT already mentioned on this chart, do that here!

Features:
General Multi-Weapon-Support (compatible with one or two primaries Quick-Slot-Items (adjustable item type and amount) Visibles (toggable in config) hotkeys weapon names (localized) item names (localized) item amounts Customizables (adjustable in config) hotkeys item type item amount colors of the boxes colors of the texts colors of the hotkeys Other The script/addon includes a huge error prevention mechanic. Whenever it detects an error in your installation or in your configuration it will either automatically fix it or inform you. It also detects the amount of boxes that are needed to display everything you set up. The Weapon HUD has a huge config you can adjust to fit your personal preferences. Everything you need to know is explained in there. It also supports custom weapons and items. You can now toggle the Weapon HUD with a function in case you want to include a button in your player menu! And if that's not enough for you, here is a picture overview:

Changelog (real changelog [here]):

Having been able to follow along with the Devs private Discord I have been able to get an idea of just how much time and effort has been put into this latest release, especially in the last few weeks leading up to the release.
And they are still at it, tweaking settings and so on with the feedback that has come since the release.
So, as the title says THANK YOU for all your hard work.

Remove the ] after ["caribou"

First of all, stop being that rude to a person who  answers one of your questions. If you want that we listen to you treat everybody with respect here. We are a community and so we should speak to each other.
Second, the bugs you are describe are not really bugs at all. The freeze in side chat is something that the server admins can advoid by disable the the voice in side chat restriction. It is up to the admins. I agree with you that the freezing is annoying that is why I have it disabled. The zombie path finding is a problem since the DayZ Mod was released and it will be updated in every release again and again. In Epoch 1.0.6.2 there are some changes to the zombie fsm too. We are working on that and the DayZ Mod Devs aswell.
If you find some other bugs, please post them here:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/issues
And look before posting in the new 1.0.6.2 changelog. Perhaps we have fixed a bug you noticed already:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/CHANGE LOG 1.0.6.2.txt

I am proud to present to you Arma 3 Epoch Mod version 1.0. This update represents the cumulative volunteer effort over 4 years by me and more than a dozen people and this latest update would not possible without help from these great developers: @He-Man, @DirtySanchez, @Raymix, @orangesherbet , @pumba and @Helion4. An extra thanks go to our donors and GSP sponsors for your ongoing support.

Thank you to all the Epoch devs for your Arma mods. I wish you well in all your future projects.

That said 1.0.0 is in the works and is going to be feature packed, there is a lot of work going on both experimental GitHub accounts from the community devs. I can say that the changelog is way out of date so if you are curious check out the commits.

Also, I will touch this quickly. @phm The only build that did have a "Steam ID backdoor" was an early leaked version that was intended only for use by the closed group of server admins we had testing at the time. They all knew about it.  Just as you mentioned the "controversy" you refer to was manufactured just to get attention to drive sales. I.E. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect 

Gamers are never satisfied for long and if you try to please everyone you will ever finish. While we cannot please everyone when it comes to an Epoch survival game mode we tried to lay the best groundwork we could so that others can leverage our work. So, If you do not like something change it. That is the beauty of modding.

Sappers are great, and cultists are amazing, especially when they spawn at night time (which is disabled on every server). They add a lot to the survival feeling. Unfortunately they are all disabled on most servers and we are left with KOTH style pvp only, where you do not have to worry about anything else, just other players. Saying "people do not like this and that" is not a good argument. I think it is the server owners who do not like Epoch antagonists are the real problem, not players.

Yes iam busy with reallife atm.
Can you upload your epoch_server_settings.pbo and your missionfile so i can take a better look?
What I can see from your rpt is: "Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.Napf'."
It seems that you still have some issues with your configs....
 
cheers

You have several errors from the lootspawner script, maybe you should take it off, its also outdated.



And I don´t know about this line: 20:49:30 aif_napfobjects\aif_arma1buildings\aif_ryb_domek.p3d: house, config class missing.
What about a blank install of the server without any mods or scripts?
cheers
 

Ya, looks ok...
But like I said, I dont know the buildings from the Napf map.
I would have to check it for myself but the time is missing.
I have to say sorry but actually I have no more idea but I will give you some response as soon as I have it. If I find some time this evening, I will setup a Napf server and check it.
(maybe you have fixed it until then) / anybody else here an idea?
But do me a favor and post your client and serverside rpt logs, perhaps there are some errors where we can search for the issue.
cheers

In your epoch_server_settings.pbo in the config.cpp file, you have these lines near the top:
 
#include "configs\CfgMainTable.h" #include "configs\CfgLootTable.h" #include "configs\CfgLootTable_CUP.h" #include "configs\CfgLootTable_MAD.h" #include "configs\CfgLootTable_MADCUP.h" and near the bottom this:
#include "configs\maps\Napf.h" ?

And how does your CfgBuildingLootPos.hpp looks like?
> epoch.Napf\epoch_config\Configs\CfgBuildingLootPos.hpp
Personally I never ran Napf, so i don´t know which buildings are on that map. What I want to say is, if there are buildings which aren´t listed in this hpp file, then there is no loot spawn, but I can´t imagine it.

Any rpt errors btw?
cheers
 

Ofcourse no :)
This is just a way to insert some map additions, like safezones or whatever.
Loot spawn has nothing to do with propspos.
 
cheers

Wait, are these proppos not needed to spawn loot in buildings?

You know the meaning of propspos? Objects which are placed at the map for a safezone or something else for example.
You don´t have to do this, it´s optional and yes, iam talking about the standard Eden editor.
How can you determine the type of construction: It´s fully up to you, depending on what do you want to use. Just start with placing some buildings in the editor, save it and check the file, you will understand what iam talking from. ;)

cheers

Just place your objects in the editor, save it and open that saved mission.sqm.
You find your saved editor stuff in "c:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YOURPROFILENAME\mpmissions\SAVEDMISSION.MAP\"
Then you can see some stuff like this:
The classname of the object is "type", in this example: Land_i_Garage_V2_F.
"position" should be self-explaining, the coordinates. But take care: In sqm files the coordinates are in [x,z,y], you need [x,y,z].
And the direction you can find in "angles", the second number (2.5294108).
I think there is a way to convert the direction into a full number, but i forgot it. Maybe someone else has this information, but this also should be working.

So for this example the propspos would be:
{ "Land_i_Garage_V2_F", { 4787.3916, 7280.8706, 10.130178 }, 2.5294108, true }  
cheers

You did not told that. But you can just create your own positions and use them in there.
Place some objects you want to use in the editor and catch the data. As example you can use the altis file.
cheers

Dont know why its empty for you but here is the original one, maybe it helps:


cheers

@Tarabas
Yo, ofcourse i will check it out and try to fix it as soon as possible...
Only problem actually is the real-life... new work -> new chaos -> less time for anything else  lol

cheers

Last time I checked it for sunnus01 and everything was fine.
Don´t know why it should not work now but I can recheck it, especially for the filters and give you response as soon as I get some spare time.
Can you reveal your BE log related to this?
Do you have any errors in rpt´s (client and server)
cheers

I feel Redis is well suited for game persistence in general because it is fast, stable, zero install has a ton of great features and we are not even close to using half of it's potential yet. I will try to give a brief summary of why I chose to use Redis for Epoch.  https://redis.io/

Most game data does not need to be saved forever. Redis gives us built-in features to control how long we save data. Thus, automatically preventing database bloat requiring no maintenance on the part of the server admin, it just works.

The schema concept is based on saving data as an Arma Array data type. The actual schema is completely in the hands of the Arma engine and SQF coder and should never require external schema changes.

Every player in Arma 3 has a unique steam64ID so we use that to our advantage as a unique identifier or "Key". As our method does not use tables it does not slow down as more database entries are added as relational databases often do.
Don't get me wrong I like using MySQL and have done so for many years. Redis has a lot of potential and we have not even touched some of the more advanced features yet.
That said the sources for our DLL and gamemode are here if you want to take a further look.
