With that gear you can have A3 instance on each one of your monitors, dude.

With colours and audio disabled you should be able to get about 20 FPS in Arma 3 :D

Guys please keep it civilized in public threads.

After yet another painful experience at trying to rebuild a DayZ Epoch Origins server community, thanks to the incompetent services of GTX Gaming. I'm retiring from this area of cyberspace and chilling out with many episodes of X-Files until I can figure what my next online community project will be. 
I just want to say that I've enjoyed my time playing around with scripts, learning a lot along the way and being able to help others too. This community has some very talented programmers that I've learnt a great deal from. Thank you to them and thank you to everyone else for keeping the DayZ Modding community alive. I wish you all much success in wherever life takes you, be kind to yourselves and others. You were my internet family and I'll miss you!
Peace out :)

Well, aren't zed kills done server side? It could be that it's working for you, but variable being overwritten periodically?
What I would suggest for you is to set up a local test server and remove yourself from admins, then install one of debug consoles and disable signature check on server. Don't forget to remove all BE filters, they will only be in your way.
This will allow you to play around with variables in a live game as a client, good way to learn stuff. Otherwise you'll be restarting server after every change and that's painful.
That's how I started initially, later when I got more comfortable with code I even wrote my own compiler for A3 that allows me to compile and run whole SQF files on live MP server :)
Point is - don't limit yourself while learning. Debug console is definitely a way to go.
A good way to learn database saving using this setup would be: create your own PV handle server side that will take input you send to it and call a function with it.
This way you can have single PV and single function for both sending and receiving data. Take it slow and don't be afraid to ask questions here.

It's not a bug. You stuffed the install up somewhere. Go over all the steps and double check everything.

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.

I will be working to further refine the base building systems in each patch and will look into this hopefully for the next update. 

Hi, guys
Yes, that error was fixed, in fact, it wasn't causing any issues, just showing an error, but it's gone now.
This is an odd one, because my message disappears instantly as soon as gender is selected. Could be something to do with binarization (i develop using packed data).
By default script does not have stopping mechanism apart from timer given at start, but it can be forced to stop externally since it uses global vars or by setting smaller timer.
To be honest, think i'll just remove it, shouldn't be too hard for people to figure out what that screen is.

Fallout 4 is happening for me... and a full time job.
But then again, getting burned out on modding is not a good idea, it's nice to step away for a while, get some fresh ideas and relax a bit. But I am only speaking of myself :)

Not at all, that's a great question. It's the engine thing because how proxy is handled, but that's about to change and will work as fast as vehicle locking does.

I am working on a fix guys, for testing I have this temp fix available here update your server settings pbo with this : https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/85a25613549e50c9cee37f817c3ebbbca7eeb96f/Server_Install_Pack/@epochhive/addons/a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo?raw=true
Commit: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/commit/85a25613549e50c9cee37f817c3ebbbca7eeb96f
This will currently prevent groundweaponholder access within 5m of a locked vehicle or storage device for non Admins and those that use our AH. Ideally the InventoryOpened handler should be expanded to return both containers so we can move towards preventing the cargo option without a bunch of workarounds. Also note: Since 0.3.5 safes and lockboxes now persist the locked/unlocked states.

Thanks Raymix, this has really helped.

PS glad to see the forums working again.

Could be because of that nearby weaponholder... hmm

ESC > Epoch configurator > Action menu
rebind the key

btw, 0.3.5 comes with few unannounced functions that scripters could use to create cool shit (in preps for 0.4). Might make a vid at some point on how to utilize them.
One of them is ppEffects function to make you drunk - Epoch_setDrunk
//10 different templates, use 0 - 1 range 0 call epoch_setDrunk; //disable 0.3 call epoch_setDrunk; //mildly drunk 0.5 call epoch_setDrunk; //really drunk 1 call epoch_setDrunk; //severe alcholol poisoning lolNjoy

In Ireland they call it Murphy's law, probably because of potatoes and stuff

New patch is insane! Metal floor - totally unexpected and completely forgot all these months, finally there. I assume now I won't need 3 layers of roof to secure a base ;)
Nice to see SPMG sand suppressor added to loot. I was missing it and only could get through missions from AI. Very good fix.
A very very good addition is radio to freshspawns. Now at least people will be able to talk if server has disabled sidechat (like nowadays most do).
No more loot disappearing from traders when you buy something and have no room in your inventory - very great. Can't wait to test new ghost snapping. Now just wait for server update on the one I play in ;)
