I can confirm this is working on 1.63 Overpoch

Hello All,
I've had this working on all my servers for about a week now and the players just go nuts for it.
Also I would like to say a massive Thank You! to raymix and everyone that helped on this project.
Like Floss said it really does blow the old snapping out of the water.
Great Job as always raymix
 
Edit: Thank You raymix also for You Tube tutorials on how the actual code works for this addon.

Q & A
 
Q: Is there a tutorial video showing how to install the addon?
A: Yes, a youtuber Dayz Playground have uploaded a nice and clean video showing how to install this addon, it is aimed towards GTX gaming servers, but the installation is actually the same everywhere.

 
Q: Can I add my own snap points or change some of yours and how do I do that?
A: Yes! Yes you can and here's how:

 
Q: Will this work with #n version?
A: I don't know, tested with 1.62.103718 / 1.5.0.1 only. (Help me update this one).
flakvest: "I can confirm this is working on 1.63 Overpoch"
Kixbike: "works perfectly on Epoch 1.0.5.1 , 1.63.112555 "
Anarior: "We're running Overpoch on 1.63.125548 and no issues at all."
Logan: "Working perfect Overpoch 1.0.5.1 112555"
 
Q: Will this work with Overpoch?
A: Yes, it was designed in Epoch and video was shot in Overpoch.
 
Q: Wait you removed commanding menus? I liked them!
A: Not entirely. To reduce compatibility issues I had to separate addon into 2 different repos. If you still prefer commanding menus, please use SnapProCMD repo.
 
Q: Anyone else notices fps drop or desync?
A: Please refer to
 
Q: My action menus are dissapearing / My select action menus are being deleted / My infistar AH is broken!!
A: Make sure to follow AH part very carefully on Installation page, it is important that you understand the changes you make there, don't blindly follow the guide. Variables goes on top, array goes on bottom part. A single typo will break the whole antihack!
 
Q: Will this work with "X" script?
A: If it uses custom player_build then no, but you can merge differences of my code with yours to get it to work, as I did not do much editing on original player_build.sqf file intentionally. It should be easy to port.
Watch this video, it explains in detail how code works (snap_build code part is a bit outdated, but it does cover full basics and shows How's and Why's, it also covers how player_build works)
 
Q: Can you fix my "Y" script? Can you make it work with "Z" script?
A: Probably no, as I've things to do, please stay on topic, if it's help on code you are seeking, post it away, but don't raise expectations, maybe  I will help, maybe someone else will, as I've much work to do with other bigger sorry.
 
Q:  I can turn snap on but when I hit "F" nothing happens despite 2 matching green dots.
A: Something is overwriting your dayz_spaceinterrupt.sqf file, check all your custom compiles and read
 
Q: Will this work with ""?
A: Maybe, check out for a code. EDIT: RimBlock is ?p=101271 of the issue, expect an update soon.
 
Q: Will this work with Admin Fast Build?
A: Yes. KamikazeXeX released guide how to make it compatible:
 
Q: It says object limit reached (or something along these lines), but I can still build without snap enabled?
A: You will need to either increase object limit inside of your init.sqf file OR you can exclude spheres from nearestObjects check in player_build.sqf
 
Q: I am getting BE: Script restriction #17 kicks
A: You are using latest BE filters by Infistar, remove line #19 (double check readme file on github)
 
Q: Have you encountered a problem when placing plotpole it spawns, and seems to put the entire radius of the plotpole where the plotpole is placed, MASS desync then ensues
A: Yes, it was related to Infistar AH, Chris is aware of an issue, see if new update fixes it and report back please.
 
Q: players on my server build very large bases with hundreds of objects. They reported me about massive fps-drops while using the snap function. So some players can't use it because of older hardware etc.  Any Idea how to reduce the amount of objects or improve the performance
A: Yeah, download the version 1.3 (or up). It lets you adjust ranges, negative values will reduce detection range effectively reducing snap point amount and giving more performance, add/adjust this to your init.sqf:
DZE_snapExtraRange = 0; Q:  I had issues with not being able to return to the players lobby by pressing ESC after installing Snap Pro.
A: You are probably running 1.0.4.2, comment out
 
Positive/Negative Feedback from live servers:
STENCHOVDETH: "I've had this working on all my servers for about a week now and the players just go nuts for it."
Tricks: "This is very true, have it on my server and my players love it!"
Anarior: "Other than a few issues with people finding it quite complex to start with, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from users."
MatthewK: "Had this on my server for the past 24 hours and my players are spending so much time building stuff, they aren't even bothering to kill each other any more."

This Video Tutorial covers:
Add custom Traders anywhere on map
Find positions on map (also covering safezones/sensors a little bit)
Add your own custom Menus to traders
Add all Overwatch weapons, ammo and vehicles to your menus
Use notepad++ to convert Loot CFG (or literary ANY) file into SQL query that you can to insert items faster into database.
 
Notepad++ tricks:
I will show you some cool tricks how to clean out junk data from files, filter out only stuff you need and convert it into a different code that can be used elsewhere.
In this video I will be using Macros, TextFX and Find&Replace options to show you awesome stuff you can do with notepad++ to affect thousands of lines automatically!
You will need TextFX plugin.
 
SQL:
I am using Heidi SQL to edit my databases. Any other tool is very well capable of doing the same job well. I just love filtering on heidi. It's also free.
This is by no means targeted towards advanced users, beginners only. If you are advanced user and dislike the method, please share your method instead for all of us to learn from.
I am not sharing actual SQL code because database names differs for different hosts, also I think notepad++ tricks are awesome thing to know, might be handy in future.
In fact If database structure ever changes, you can reuse tricks learned here instead to update it quickly.
 
Overwatch vehicles used in video:



Alternative list of all Overwatch weapons/ammo/vehicles (Test out your new Notepad++ skill and convert it into SQL!)
PROTIP: if using alternative list - to filter out ammo from weapons Write Ammo Type: in search, leave search window open. Then create macro:
[Home] > [F3] > [shift]+[END] > [DEL] > [Down] > [Home]
This will delete last part on all rows that says ammo and leave weapons only. Apply similar method to delete weapons instead.

A server needs a forum and TS server, that way players who can't get on have a place to get support, notifications or announce changes in advance.
Anyone who needs a forum or TS can contact me, I can get them some good deals from a server host.

You might want to refer to this tutorial instead then.

I have a little suggestion for moddels

What about woodlogs/woodpillars, to create fort walls looking like the ones in origins, this would be epic dude!

Thanks Richie, just helping out with stuff, mostly the spammers advertising movie links etc.
I run my servers for fun, not for profit so am willing to share anything B)

I just noticed that Dave [MGT] is now a moderator, job well done and i'm sure you'll be an asset to the community :)
Unlike many other server admins, Dave has no problem sharing his scripts/tweaks/ban lists and anything else that will come in handy for server admins.
 
He's also patient and knowledgeable of Epoch and how things work and he always helps others, even the really dumb ones most would give up on :lol:
 
 

Thanks, man. I'll be doing some notepad++ magic on this tomorrow.

Lol probably a hacker duper or cheater we've banned!

If anyone wants my ban list edited rule breakers out leaving hackers in. We wipe the hackers out of the list every 3 months as we assume they're globalled by then.

Guys at Gamespy are trolling us
