You can setup this table in mysql that it auto-increments the Character ID. So if a new line is added to the table the 'next' ID is taken automatically.

Character_DATA table, structure (in phpMyadmin or other tool). Find the line for Character_DATA and set the autoincrement option to true.

Maybe that's what you want.

Use a condition like this around the whole part in ui_selectSlot.sqf:

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["1234123456789","1234123456723","12341234565432"]) then {
...
...
...
};

And the menu is only shown to those players (I guess).

This is another kind of Vehicle Locator.

Script adds a right-click option to an vehicle key in the gear menu.

The script searches for the vehicle belonging to this key in a near range and marks the vehicle (via sign/light) if found.

If not found in the near range a full map search will be done and if then found a map marker will show where the vehicle is located.

Everything is configurable and well documented.

The video shows how it works:

Create a file vehicle_pointer.sqf with the content above and place it somewhere in your mission.

New: The script - Masterkey version ( vehicle_pointer_mk.sqf ):

This is a version which works with 1:n relations between key and car(s) (so, 1 master key for several vehicles). If you do not use the Mayterkey mod use the normal vehicle_pointer.sqf.

(As for this version the searches for vehicles cannot be stopped after already finding one (as there could be more for this key) the search always goes over all vehicles available which could cause some longer runtimes the more vehicles are on the map!)

            _control ctrlSetTooltip "Pinpoint vehicle. Mark on map if not in range.";
            _control ctrlSetTooltipColorBox [0.3,0.4,1,1];
            _control ctrlSetTooltipColorShade [0, 0, 0, 1];
            _control ctrlSetTooltipColorText [0.3,0.4,1,1];
            _control ctrlSetEventHandler ["ButtonClick",_exescript];
            _numActions = _numActions + 1; // if there are other item action after that (other mods) add 1 to _numactions
		};
///// jahan - end vehicle pointer

This needs to be added into ui_selectSlot.sqf (you need to make that custom). The path pointing to the script needs to be adjusted!!

If you do not already have any other right click option scripts (or Macas right clickt options method) it would be pasted below:

			_array = 	getArray	(_config >> "output");
			_outputClass = _array select 0;
			_outputType = _array select 1;
			_name = getText (configFile >> _outputType >> _outputClass >> "displayName");
			_compile =  format["_id = ['%2',%3] %1;",_script,_item,_array];
		};
		
		_menu ctrlSetText format[_type,_name];
		_menu ctrlSetEventHandler ["ButtonClick",_compile];
	};

and above this:

	_pos set [3,_height];
	//hint format["Obj: %1 \nHeight: %2\nPos: %3",_item,_height,_grpPos];		

	_group ctrlShow true;
	ctrlSetFocus _group;

If you have other right click content already in ui_selectSlot.sqf then copy it below Maca's right click option (if available) and above other one(s) like Remote Vehicle Door Opener.

Let me know for any battleye restrictions to add this here. I got no kicks while testing, so you may have different files.

And any feedback is also always welcome.

There is an bug with createVehicleLocal for some objects which might spam your RPT log:

Is it only for that player?

This is your line:

["PASS",[false,false,false,false,false,false,true,12000,[],[0.0190862,0],0,[393.83,192.362]],[35,14,0,0],["RH_m1stsp","aidlpercmstpsraswrfldnon_aiming01",42 ["76561198055526775","76561198055526775","76561198055526775","76561198055526,[30,[18665.1,3108.98,0.00144525]],3162,"118"]

And this is one of mine:
["PASS",[false,false,false,false,false,false,true,12000,[],[0,0],0,[107.84,39.8537]],[0,0,0,0],["MeleeHatchet_DZE","aidlpercmstpsraswrfldnon_idlesteady02",42,["148"]],[135,[8264.76,17716.2,0.000836486]],1488,"162"]

The end looks very different. It starts for you where all the playerUIDs are located. What are they for? Some kind of door management mod or something like that?

Maybe we use something different here (way devd wrote these files). But there is your issue. It's wrong in the file. Question is what writes it like that.

October 27, 2014

Maybe it makes sence if a new position (a bit further away) is needed, that the player gets an appropriate message.

October 26, 2014

Issue is solved. I had a fix (lol) in compiles.sqf. After commenting this out again I commented 1 line out too much.

October 25, 2014

Hi all,

I recognized today that I cannot chop any wood. Means, I use MeleeHatchet_DZE (but also tried ItemHatchet_DZE) and try to chop a tree. I see that I actually hit the tree, but there is no wood on the ground and the tree never falls over. The hatchet has full ammo and when I hit it's counting down.

Does anybody know where chopping can be found in the files what it could be related to. So that I know where to start to search?

Regards, jahan.

October 25, 2014

For me it works like Richie points out here (Batch file). Paths need to be adjusted.

Edit: Hm, you need the arma2oa_be.exe and if you use a server password also add this. E.g.

start "" "%arma2oapath%\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 -skipintro -mod=%MODS% -noSplash -noFilePatching -world=empty -password=xxxxx -connect=%IP% -port=%PORT% "-mod=%arma2path%;expansion;"

Then it directly goes into the Lobby and you can join the game from there. The '0 0' is important for the _BE exe. Otherwise nothing happens.

Haliakala:

I guess this is a good starting point to gather all neccessary information together to solve the basic issues mentioned all over the forum.

Then not everyone else who is new is running in these issues again and will need to read all the (21-xx) pages again to search for all of this. People would be very pleased. And maybe the mod author would be happy to add a link to such a collective post to the starting page.

Just an idea ;)))

October 23, 2014

To make these settings easier I use the old selfBB script.

October 23, 2014

102: I see that now for the first time. After a quick view it seems that this function is never called somewhere.

I guess the character data is read in 101 together with the player data.

That is the reason why Gender Selection /Play as Zombie did not work I guess. Took me a long time to figure out a way how that works but I do not understand everything.

Did not get an answer from Soul so far. And I do not install a windows server to get the child requests from the log ;)

@withyourbarehands: Never used config based traders but have a look at this:

October 23, 2014

For people using the Linux server port of Epoch a dll cannot be used.

There needs then be an option available to switch it off.

October 23, 2014

These crashes are called from init.sqf as epoch events (timed events).

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],
["any","any","any","any",20,"animated_crash_spawner"],
["any","any","any","any",40,"supply_drop"]];

There is an own main topic for Epoch Events in the forum where you can see what the numbers in [...] mean to schedule events.

You could call it more often here. The script normally is placed in dayz_server/modules (e.g. dayz_server/modules/crash_spawner.sqf).

I don't know what you use here but maybe there is a check in such a crash script which checks if there is already one active which you then would need to change a bit.

October 23, 2014

Hi,

look at this: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/issues/1393

Normally these errors happen in custom scripts...so these are easy to fix. In this case as vbawol pointed out it could also happen if nil values will be send to a function (here fn_findSafePos).

This is not so easy to find if there are many calls to that function ;)

If you have a program that helps you seaching for strings in 'all files' in a folder you may search for findSafePos all over your mission files and check the places where this occurs for variables used in the call which are uninitialized (nil). I guess it's a call in the mission but could also be within the server files if you added code there which uses this function.

October 22, 2014

No, you comment out this: player playActionNow "Medic"; (bandage script here)

And you set this:

r_doLoop = false;

_finished = true;

And I do not see why this should not work. It just does not go unto the while loop anymore as far as I see this on my phone.

October 22, 2014

I guess because there is a check later for this move. If player move is medic or something...in pseudo code. To check the time the animation is running. I don't have the code on my mind...but maybe you can simply set this time very short. Maybe 0 is possible. Depends on the code.

Ah. The code is in the spoiler. What if you set r_doloop to false above the loop? And finished to true.

October 22, 2014

Hi,

you need to add this at the end of your scripts.txt battleye file:

!="_bike setVariable[\"Ownername\", _playeruid, true];"

So that it lokks like this:

5 "setDammage" !="_bike setVariable[\"Ownername\", _playeruid, true];"

I could now reproduce it with your scripts file.

October 22, 2014

You copy the real server and create a new database and point the test server to the new database.

If it's running on the same machine you need to change the port the server is running on (also steam ports in server.cfg).

October 22, 2014

Ah yes. I guess you need to add the bike classname into allowedvehicles_dze . I need to add this when i am back from work.

@SadBoy1981: I do not get the battleye script restriction. Can you go to your script.log in your Battleye directory on the server and post me the logged line to see for what it happened (after getting kicked...you will see your name there and the reason why you got kicked)).

And also the line which it belongs to in script.txt? Restriction #52 means line 52 is responsible for the kick (this starts with a 5). So you count from 0 on (first line is 0) and leave out any commented lines ( // ).

We can then add a excemption for the line which kicks you. As I do not get the kick, I don't know exactly what it is.

October 22, 2014

You need to read the post ;) there you can see that vars need to have been initialized...so need a value assigned...before first use. Or you check for !isnil and only execute the statement if not for the places you are getting errors in the rpt

October 21, 2014

After switching from Chernarus to Napf I've created a simple script on player demand for our server. Maybe someone finds it useful, so I release it here.

It allows a player to pack / unpack a bike on demand to be able to make larger distances a bit quicker. No items are needed for crafting or deploying the bike. It's just there to make things a bit easier.

The bike is bound to the PlayerUID, so only the player who unpacked the bike can pack it again.

http://youtu.be/lG4j80qUDlc

The video shows how it works (early stage...looks a bit different now). Link to the script is in the video description (installation instructions are placed inside the script...so where they are needed).

You get killed on the bike if you do not add the _classname to variables.sqf or elsewhere to the array:

DZE_safeVehicle = ["ParachuteWest","ParachuteC"];

So: DZE_safeVehicle = ["ParachuteWest","ParachuteC","MMT_USMC" ];

For battleye script restriction kicks:

Add this:

!="_bike setVariable[\"Ownername\", _playeruid, true];"

at the end of the setDammage line, like:

5 "setDammage" !="_bike setVariable[\"Ownername\", _playeruid, true];"

.

Changelog v0.2 (10.12.2014):

- Some performance improvements (e.g. short hang at first use)

- Player now hops directly onto the bike as driver after unpacking

I did it so. You need these 2 if conditions to check for the ItemBloodBag item.

private ["_control","_button","_parent","_group","_pos","_item","_conf","_name","_cfgActions","_numActions","_height","_menu","_config","_type","_script","_outputOriented","_compile","_array","_outputClass","_outputType","_key_colors","_ownerKeyId","_itemsPlayer","_hasKey","_objects","_ownerID","_i"];
disableSerialization;
_control = 	_this select 0;
_button =	_this select 1;
_parent = 	findDisplay 106;

//if ((time - dayzClickTime) < 1) exitWith {};
// jahan - self transfusion mit check variable ausschalten
/////if (!DZE_SelfTransfuse && ((gearSlotData _control) == "ItemBloodBag")) exitWith {};

if (_button == 1) then {
	//dayzClickTime = time;
	_group = _parent displayCtrl 6902;
	
	_pos = 		ctrlPosition _group;
	_pos set [0,((_this select 2) + 0.48)];
	_pos set [1,((_this select 3) + 0.07)];
	
	_item = gearSlotData _control;
	
	_conf = configFile >> "cfgMagazines" >> _item;
	if (!isClass _conf) then {
		_conf = configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _item;
	};
	_name = getText(_conf >> "displayName"); 
	_cfgActions = _conf >> "ItemActions";
    ///// jahan - if selfbloodpack, sonst geht das menu nicht
    if !((gearSlotData _control) == "ItemBloodBag") then {
	_numActions = (count _cfgActions);
    } else {
    _numActions = 0;
    };
	_height = 0;
	
    ///// jahan - selfbloodpack
    if !((gearSlotData _control) == "ItemBloodBag") then {
	//Populate Menu
	for "_i" from 0 to (_numActions - 1) do 
	{
		_menu = 	_parent displayCtrl (1600 + _i);
		_menu ctrlShow true;
		_config = 	(_cfgActions select _i);
		_type = 	getText	(_config >> "text");
		_script = 	getText	(_config >> "script");
		_outputOriented = 	getNumber	(_config >> "outputOriented") == 1;
		_height = _height + (0.025 * safezoneH);
		_compile =  format["_id = '%2' %1;",_script,_item];
		uiNamespace setVariable ['uiControl', _control];
		if (_outputOriented) then {
			/*
				This flag means that the action is output oriented
				the output class will then be transferred to the script
				&& the type used for the name
			*/			
			_array = 	getArray	(_config >> "output");
			_outputClass = _array select 0;
			_outputType = _array select 1;
			_name = getText (configFile >> _outputType >> _outputClass >> "displayName");
			_compile =  format["_id = ['%2',%3] %1;",_script,_item,_array];
		};
		
		_menu ctrlSetText format[_type,_name];
		_menu ctrlSetEventHandler ["ButtonClick",_compile];
	};
   };

Is this enough? I mean the data could be read/written in 2 tables. Or is a child always one statement to 1 table? I've asked soul via pm for the child requests and statements and will let you know if i get an answer here. So far no answer.
