Wrong.
init.sqf is the first ever script to be loaded in mpmissions. It can be used for anything - from defining variables to compiling functions (just like any other file... filenames means nothing, any file can be used for any task).
function is also just a variable that is defined by compiling a file (read by engine in form of string), preprocessor takes care of comments and defines if exists.
Down the list comes compiles and variables files, which are nothing different from init.sqf - they all are just files to be processed.
When it comes to programming - when you set a variable, it is created in a namespace (a group of blocks in your RAM), if you redefine variable later, it is overwritten.
This means that there is no such thing as priority. Last defined is the variable that is used.
To answer your question - if you define same variable in 2 different places, last one to be loaded will be the one used, and since init.sqf is always first file to be loaded and it is used to load variables.sqf, then variable inside variables.sqf is used instead.

Just want to thank the people who made epoch, and the crafting system. It is bad ass, and will fill the ich i had since playing Star wars galaxies crafting :) Now if only you could build the vehicles  :)

both actually. Workbench has a cargo space, yes, but when placing items in it, they appear on top of it :)

1) double click is coming back, it was temporarily removed, current beta has dblclick to craft only tho, havent got time to look at eating and other stuff. There will be visual feedback added to gear menu of current currency and energy soon. Might as well add ability to see gains/losses from an item without consuming it while at it
4) crafting system is fully configurable, from adding new items to changing 3D model on preview, to color scheme, crafting theme and nearby requirements. We still need to figure out repairing system, but some experiments are already being done. The hitpoint damage seen in video can be applied to units, too (for medical system?) and works with moving objects (should have recorded that, derp)...
5) (latest update to experimental) if crafting requires workbench then crafted items will be spawned on top of workbench instead of player. If player does not have enough inventory space to craft, item will be dropped in nearby weapon holder (or new wh created if none nearby)
8) crafting related dupes have been fixed (the ones i could find, lol)
 
Thanks for testing out experimental and a great feedback :)

First of all - huge thanks to Raymix for an awesome crafting UI. I saw it on his stream when he was coding it and only imagined it was just WIP and we won't see it so soon. It is awesome, thank you man. Though the blur that appears on screen when you open this crafting menu makes me really nauseous :D Hopefully I can handle it. No more crafting without work bench! Very great.
1. Double click on items in order to consume them was removed, not sure if it is good or bad, probably for the better, but now it is almost impossible to see how much thirst/hunger/stamina you get when you consume food, since the user inventory menu blocks the text which is right beneath it. This white text should be lowered even more to the bottom of the screen or maybe made in different font/color or something and flash on left or right top corner of the screen (so that it would stay longer than half a second). Just quick ideas, maybe you guys will think of something even better. For now users will have to keep debug menu opened in order to be able to see how much points they gained from drinks/food.
2. Seems like issue of not being able to trade with traders came back (at least haven't seen it for a long time). Simple re-log fixes it of course.
3. No idea why, but after logging in and out I lost a magazine inside my Rahim. When I logged in it notified me to reload (gun itself was empty). Maybe just a weird glitch, couldn't reproduce when logged out logged in the second time.
4. Wow, now it isn't as easy to build stuff as before when you have to use work bench and it takes about 20 seconds to craft 10 lumber packs instead of one second like it is now :) I like this feature, much more realistic. If the same could be made to healing/repairing vehicles would be great too.
5. Are you supposed to be able to store items inside the workbench? Cause I can put items in it. Is it persistent? A feature of some sort? It is persistent. Cool.
6. Found first bug, impossible to cancel building. It says "canceled" but the foundation (for example) that you wanted to place is still attached to you and you have to place one way or another. So canceling doesn't seem to work.
7. Fireplace, once placed is non-removable. Maybe intentional, no idea.
8. Found duplication bug, but I am almost sure it is not patch related and it was there for a while. Will try to reproduce. Yep, it works for duplicating clothes and what's in them.
9. Found my first safe! And two at once. This is amazing, and they sell for 1250 krypto, well done :) But it is not possible to move it or remove it. Once placed it is unmovable :) I am retarded, you can pack it, just like lockbox, NEAT!. But the model itself is very beautiful, thanks to Awol, Axle and Sequisha? I think, though it reads like Keesha, lol. Hard to read the last name, pls correct me.
Would love a feature of code lock being implemented, not ordinary lock/unlock like it is with lock boxes. But I am sure it is in future plans, for now, Epoch hoarding simulator reached beta phase :D And the storage.. it is massive! Will tell in greater detail when I test it more, have little gear for now, but it should fit at least 30 cinder blocks inside (I hope).
10. Today workshop downloaded 44MB update or something, tried to join a BulletBuffet server and got autobanned.
11. Now opening a safe in Experimental gives autoban.
 
 
Will update my feedback as I play. That was just first few things I noticed while jumped on experimental. I would stream my gameplay but I am playing on a potato PC, so I would get 15 FPS at best. Will try to test it though again.
To anyone who wants to test it with me - go to steam workshop and subscribe to Epoch experimental mod, then enable it in default Arma 3 launcher (with regular epoch disabled or removed).

I have been working on a separate antagonist / epoch project and now have the means to allow sappers to see the base objects.
Boss sappers use an older code as the normal sappers, normal sappers should be 'afraid' of your plot pole.
expect AI updates soon :)

You can't redistribute other people's work, mate. There are exceptions like sheep's pack where he contacted all script authors, but you haven't, I'd know :P
Plus, server packs are not allowed by forum rules anyway.
I understand your intentions are to help out other people, but yeah... rules are rules. Plus when something breaks, you'll have your inbox full of noobs asking dumb questions :)

CROM!!!! Made by me, finalized by Sequisha and AWOL.

Only if licence allows porting assets to Arma 3 (which would kill standalone), otherwise I don't see any of this happening. Can't think of any reason to use older engine from scripting point of view, once you've dived in A3 scripts there's no going back to stone age.

Here' s the fancy version :P

Probably, the size of model does not matter, it's whether or not it has named texture selection defined.
I wasn't using Sandbird's live editor, what you saw there was actual local MP server with verifySignatures set to 0 in server config (don't do this on live server, lol). This allows people to run extra @mods without being kicked, like debug console for example.

One way is to google that and hope someone posted a list of them.
Another way is to spawn all billboards around you and try to apply generated texture on 1 or 2 indexes with hopes it changes colors (means texture will work), Like I did here...
Third way is to download unbinarized p3d files and open them with object builder and look for named selections.
And finally, you could also just open model.cfg file for each billboard and look for named selections define there.
