  1. Walking Dead Zombies

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Any idea how to make it so that the zombies have a chance to knock you down or stun/brief KO?

     

    I like the idea of slower zombies, but I would like the zombies to be a bit more aggressive to compensate for it.

  3. Missing Base Objects

    in Server Install

    Posted

    Look at the last post in see my summary and GeneralTragedy's link about what has to be done to configure base decay&maintenance.

     

    If you haven't changed the cleanup interval, the parameters set by default should be consistent. However, check that your SQL event SetDamageOnAge is running and (for good measure, I think, it's not necessary anymore because the problem got fixes script-wise) adjust the damage there from 0.1 to, say, 0.2.

     

    "0 objects in range" only means that there are no objects in plotpole range that have a damage > 0.1, thus they won't be maintained by area maintenance. This could mean your SetDamageOnAge has not run (yet).

     

    Just a guess - I don't know how DayZ.ST implements it, but a problem with database restore could be that the events are imported, too. Thus the objects still existing in the restored DB may be again deleted automatically at restart, when the cleanup events run.

    To clarify, I am now running a dedicated box.  SetDamageOnAge sounds like it might be a problem.

  4. How to Edit Plotpole Maintenance

    in Scripting

    Posted

    There's two things I would like to accomplish:

     

    1.  The ability to maintain an area at any time, regardless of how long it's been since last maintenance.  Right now it just gives the actions with red text and says "0 parts in range"

     

    2.  Make it so that Cinder Walls and Metal Floors cost more to maintain

  5. Missing Base Objects

    in Server Install

    Posted

    I had this error a while back when I was trying to import the DayZ.ST database backup, and couldn't find a solution so I just had players start new again.

     

    Now a week later and newly made bases have begun missing large sections of objects.  I have tried reverting the database back to yesterday, where the bases were spawned in just fine.

     

    I have also tried reverting the PBOs back to the way they were, and then restoring the backup as well.  Nothing seems to bring the bases back. 

     

     

    Updated:   I believe the problem lies in the Plotpole Maintain options.  The players did not notice that all they got was red action text, and the plot poles always say "0 objects in range"

  6. [EXAMPLE] Using .bat script auto automatically (re)start your server

    in Server Install

    Posted

    I am throwing this out here in case someone is interested in how to do this.  Basically, you run BEC in conjunction with a batch script.  I have BEC scheduled so that every three hours, it runs this script.  This script does the following:

     

    1.  Kills the DayZ Server

    2.  Kills BEC

    3.  Moves logfiles to a directory that is able to be viewed by my admins through FTP

    3.  Renames the .rpt and hiveext logs to have the date and time stamp that this script was run, so you can archive and search through logs

    4.  Does the same with the BEC chat logs, as well as InfiStar/Blur Antihack's Admin Log

    5.  Restarts the server.

    6.  Restarts BEC.

    @echo off
set dayzpath="C:\Servers\Epoch\"
set becpath="C:\Servers\Epoch\BEC\"
set serverexefile="arma2oaserver.exe"
set becexefile="bec.exe"

  7. Adding Ammo to Vehicles

    in Scripting

    Posted

    I'm using a script to remove weapons from custom added vehicles, similar to

     

    What I'd like to do is make it so players can add some of the ammunition back.  For example, I'd like to make it so that you could add 6 hydra missiles to an AH6J_DZ armed attack helicopter by consuming a MAAWS rocket, or load the miniguns by consuming two belts of ammunition.

    yep the rcon isnt perfect. i will look what i can make better.

     

     

     

    if players not showing, please check your "Character_DATA" table wether column `last updated` does exist.

     

    if not, then please execute this SQL- command:

    ALTER TABLE `Character_DATA` ADD COLUMN `last_updated` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AFTER `Infected`;

    Hello and thank you for your prompt reply.

     

    I did add in the SQL command to add last_updated column after Infected column.

     

    Currently, the 4 players that logged on do have timestamps shown in the table, so that is working.  However, there is still no "lastest players" populating the table on the Info-Board field.  I will give it a while to populate.

     

    Thank you again very much!

    I installed this on my webserver, and the database and RCON connections appear to work, but the RCON seems sporadic....

     

    Maybe only 25% of refreshes will actually have the player online.  Ban List won't show at all.  Shutdown/Restart/Kick/Ban seems to work fine.  Players don't show up on the map, nor in any of the Info-Board player fields.

     

    The database portion of it appears to work great.

     

    Is there anything you can suggest me to look into that would fix the RCON issues I am having?  Thank you very much!

  13. [Updated] Help with DayZ.ST Database Migration

    in Server Install

    Posted

    Current Status:  I successfully moved over the database using NaviCat, but I am having issues with getting the objects in fully.  Player Inventories are fine, but the majority of bases, safes, and vehicles are completely gone.

     

    I noticed another thread saying to change the Timestamp/Datestamp, as well as changing the Instance column of the object_data table.  I performed that, but still no dice.

     

    Thank you in advance!

     

     

    Original Post:

    I'm trying to migrate two servers from DayZ.ST over to a new dedicated box.  One is Epoch, the other is a regular DayZ 1.8 server.

     

    I have completed the following:

     

    1. Installed Steam, grabbed Arma2 and Arma2:OA

    2. Installed DayZ Commander

    3. Installed latest releases and patches for Arma2, DayZ, and Epoch

    4. Installed MySQL Server

     

    Currently, I am trying to migrate the MySQL databases over from DayZ.ST.  The MySQL Workbench keeps throwing errors:

    Reverse engineering triggers from bliss_1469

ERROR: Reverse engineer selected schemas: TypeError("cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects"): error calling Python module function DbMySQLRE.reverseEngineer
Failed

    I downloaded the database through phpMyAdmin, but I do not know how to import it into MySQL.  Furthermore, I have read that with the database being over 200MB in size, it is best to not used the web-based phpMyAdmin export function.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  17. Admin log

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Thank you for the help I contacted Dayz.st and now waiting on them to respond.

    They don't support custom DLLs.  You'll need to go dedicated or get a different host.  Their support doesn't really reply.

  19. Help with debug menu

    in Scripting

    Posted

    A key to press to toggle your Debug Monitor?

     

    I haven't successfully been able to get it working in Epoch, because every time I have tried to use a keybind, it breaks the game.  Specifically, I get an issue where you can't stop buying through traders.

  21. How to prevent map marker spam

    in Scripting

    Posted

    I'm having this issue.  Are there any options other than disabling map markers altogether?

     

    I'd like to either make it so that it makes a record in the log of who is adding the map markers, or add something like a 5 minute cooldown between map marker adding.

  24. Have traders spawn in vehicles without ammo

    in Scripting

    Posted

    I'm interested in having military vehicles added to the trade menus, however I do not want the current weapons on these vehicles.  Jets are a prime example.  I'd love to allow players to fly jets around, but I do not want them to have the ability to launch missiles or drop bombs.  How can I make it so that when a Jet is purchased, it has 0 ammo?  Likewise, I have noticed that on server restart, some vehicles tend to get full ammunition again.  How can I make it so that upon server restart, all the ammunition is removed again?

     

    Searching the forum, I only found this, which didn't help much:

     

     

    I did find the YouTube video by Raymix, but I don't want to spawn vehicles on the map statically, I want players to have to purchase the vehicle.
