I didn't want a large file and decided my load screen should be as close to the original as possible, whilst trying to convey the servers content. Aesthetically I do not like text explaining everything - my website does that. I think ambiguity reinforces that sense of exploration and loneliness that DayZ originally granted.
 

Nothing wrong with choice, BigEgg didn't have to share but he did, at least be grateful instead of negative.

Wouldn't it be a bit better if you made the screen blink black slowly? Like your player would be closing his/her eyes. Because that looks like you're taking some shrooms or something. 

if you have namalsk on your server you are able to add bloodsuckers to spawn:
 

 
they spawn like zombies and are most the time invisible and decloaking before they attack their victim.

yeah had this comment out right from the beginning, so never thought about that ^^
nice found!

I think I've resolved it. The reason they were not de-cloaking was because their textures were being banned. Find in the init.sqf:
#include "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\REsec.sqf" Comment this out and they should spawn.

no you dont have to.
this is only for admins who already using infistar!
 
Have followed this tutorial completly?

In this day and age of DayZ and Epoch/Overpoch particularly, it is no longer a case of getting killed and losing all your equipment forever. Nowadays most players re-spawn, halo in to nearly on top of their old body and then go through the monotonous process of transferring gear back 1 piece at a time. I can't remember that last time I went through and re-kitted by looting and farming buildings. Apart from dying in the water or some form of explosion cause your kit to be lost.

I thought that process needed to be simplified, especially seeing as I was getting killed numerous times every hour be it by AI or other players.

I looked around and couldn't find anything similar or even close to what I wanted so I wrote this script.

I am an amateur when it comes to scripting so there will probably be mistakes and different/better ways to do what I have done. These things when bought to my attention will be fixed/implemented as I gain more knowledge on the topic.

So here it is, a kit swapping(taking at this early stage) script.

Fogazi's Swap Kit Script

Purpose:

1. Allows you to take complete kits with a dead AI or player.
2. Additional options to restrict this only to a players own dead body.

-WARNING- This script takes the kit of the dead AI or player but deletes/wipes whatever equipment you had on you before you chose to swap.

Future plans are to actually swap kits.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Schwede's improved Flashlighst <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 
What it does?
 
It simply add a bit more light to your surrounding so flashlights are more effective then they are by default.
 
Screenshot:
 

 
How it works:
 
This Scripts is completly local and is not visible by other players, since the light of the flashlight should be enough attraction for them.
 
How to install
 
You need to make changes in:
 
init.sqf
variables.sqf
compiles.sqf
dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf
 
first we make our new file called: flashlight.sqf
 
and paste this in there and place it somewhere you like:
/** Schwedes Flashlight improvement **/ Private ["_num","_light","_type"]; _type = _this select 0; switch (_type) do { case 0: { _light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal (getPosATL player); _light setLightBrightness 0.01; systemChat format['currentWeapon player: %1',(currentWeapon player)]; if ((currentWeapon player) == "MeleeFlashlightRed") then { _light setLightColor [0.5,0,0]; _light setLightAmbient [0.2,0.01,0.01]; } else { _light setLightAmbient[.9, .9, .6]; _light setLightColor[.9, .9, .6]; }; _light lightAttachObject [player, [0.1,2,0.5]]; }; case 1: { player action ["GunLightOff", player]; _light = nearestObject [player, "#lightpoint"]; deleteVehicle _light; Schwede_flashlicht = false; }; }; Next we create another file called and place it somewhere you like: lightcheck.sqf
 
and paste this in there:
/** Schwedes Flashlight improvement Light Check **/ Private ["_light"]; waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 46)}; //making sure player is spawned while {true} do { waitUntil {Schwede_flashlicht}; if !((currentWeapon player) in Schwede_FlashlightWeapons) then { player action ["GunLightOff", player]; _light = nearestObject [player, "#lightpoint"]; deleteVehicle _light; Schwede_flashlicht = false; }; sleep 0.1; }; Time to make this thing to work:
 
variables.sqf:
 
search for
// DayZ Epoch Client only variables and add right after:
 
if(isNil "Schwedes_flashlicht") then { Schwedes_flashlicht = false; }; search for 
if(!isDedicated) then { and place this somewhere in this area:
 
Schwede_FlashlightWeapons = ["M4A3_CCO_EP1","SCAR_L_CQC_Holo","SCAR_H_CQC_CCO","MeleeFlashlight","MeleeFlashlightRed"]; //This array wants to be filled with weapons with flashlights compiles.sqf
 
 
 
add this


Schwedes_flashlight = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "PathTo\flashlight.sqf"; to the if(!isDedicated) then { area
 
dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf
 
place this somewhere in it:
//flashlight if (_dikCode in actionKeys "Headlights" && ((currentWeapon player) in Schwede_FlashlightWeapons) && ((vehicle player) == player)) then { if (Schwedes_flashlicht) then { Schwedes_flashlicht= false; _id = [1] spawn Schwedes_flashlight; } else { Schwedes_flashlicht= true; _id = [0] spawn Schwedes_flashlight; }; }; init.sqf
 
add this
 



[] execVM "PathTo\lightcheck.sqf"; to the if(!isDedicated) then { area
 
Save everything and load up everything.
 
 
Suggestions? Post them here
 
Like my work? why not spend me a beer then ;D Link in my Sig :)

i think this should cover all what you need:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addAction
 
(if i understood everything right with my broken english :D)

no, it is that simple ^^
just need custom loot tables and add them in there, done

My humble cave. Originally posted for my EvE Online blog, it hasn't changed much over the years. It looks like the apocalypse has happened already...
 

I had this issue too but if I remember right there was a solution somewhere.
I will check if I can find it.
Try to follow the steps again, maybe you missed something

i followed this tutorial here:
 

After posting that I had Bloodsuckers working on Namalsk, but I have now managed to get them working on other maps.
 
I will release the code when I have perfected it and got it working with various AI addons and most importantly.
 
I WILL ONLY RELEASE WHEN I HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THE FILES ON ALL MAPS....
 
Here is a short video showing them working and running on my Chernarus test server.
 

hey i found this should help you.

Some men just want to watch the world burn…
To make something burn via BIS_Effects_Burn we’ll need this code in our init.sqf:
BIS_Effects_Burn=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\destruction\burn.sqf"; Then to set something on fire we’ll use this command, either in a trigger or from it’s init or via a script:
[object, intensity, time, lifecheck, fade] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn; Object: the name of the object that the fire will be attached to.
Intensity: the intensity of the fire.  Recommended to use values between 0.7 and 10, higher values may be used if desired though.
Time: the time that the fire started.  Use the global variable time.  This is used to keep effects synced for JIP players.
Lifecheck: if this is true then the unit will only burn as ling as it is dead (!alive unit).  Set to false to burn things like buildings and gamelogics.
Fade: if true then the fire will die down over time, eventually dying out.  Set to false if you want it to keep burning (affected by rain too).
If you want to kill a fire you can delete the object it is attached to.
Hint: you can attach a gamelogic to a moving object via the attachto command, and then make the gamelogic burn that way you can kill the fire without deleting the object.
Examples:
To make a gamelogic named mygamelogic burn forever with a big fire:
[mygamelogic,10,time,false,false] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn same with medium sized fire:
[mygamelogic,5,time,false,false] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn To make a gamelogic burn and have the fire fade over time:
[mygamelogic,10,time,false,true] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn To make it smoke, with no visible flame you can use an intensity of 3 or lower:
[mygamelogic,3,time,false,false] spawn BIS_Effects_Burn

You would need to change
_classnameProtected = "Wooden_shed_DZ"; into
_classnameProtected = ""; _ProtectedClasses = []; // put in all the classes you want to protect. You would then need to put all after
_vehiclePlayer = (Vehicle Player); In a count loop (ie. { ....... }count _ProtectedClasses ;) and add after it
_classnameProtected = _x; The
}count _ProtectedClasses; needs to go before the last
}; That would probably work for multiple classes.

Have just rewritten a script for MatthewK to try and help out (thread ) and though I would release for all to enjoy.
 
Set the _classnameProtected to a class name of an object you want to protect.  Classnames are types of objects.  In the code below it is all wooden DZ sheds. 
 
Save the following as something (i.e. mpmissions\[MAP NAME]\Custom\RingOfProtection\RingOfProtection.sqf)
// Ring of Protection by RimBlock (http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/user/12612-rimblock/) // // This script will allow you to set two rings around an object (vehicle, building, player). The first ring will create a warning, the second will kill the player. // // Completely rewritten from initial code by [MIC] Murcielago. Private ["_n","_classnameProtected","_nearbyProtected","_vehiclePlayer","_nearestProtected","_warningRange","_deathRange","_nearbyProtected","_aliveNearbyProtected"]; _n = 0; _warningRange = 20; _deathRange = 7; _classnameProtected = "Wooden_shed_DZ"; While {True} Do { _nearbyProtected = []; _aliveNearbyProtected = []; _nearestProtected = ""; _vehiclePlayer = (Vehicle Player); _nearbyProtected = nearestObjects [_vehiclePlayer, [_classnameProtected], _warningRange]; if ((count _nearbyProtected) >= 1) then { { if (alive _x) then { _aliveNearbyProtected set [(count _aliveNearbyProtected),_x]; }; }count _nearbyProtected; if ((count _aliveNearbyProtected) >= 1) then{ _nearestProtected = _aliveNearbyProtected select 0; If ((_vehiclePlayer Distance _nearestProtected) < _deathRange) Then {Player Setdamage 1;}; If ((_n == 0) && {_vehiclePlayer Distance _nearestProtected >= _deathRange}) Then { TitleText ["[WARNING]: Entering restricted area. Continuing will result in death.","PLAIN"]; }; _n = _n + 0.05; }; }; Sleep 0.05; If ( _n > 1 ) Then { _n = 0; }; }; Put the following in your custom compiles.sqf (just after "progressLoadingScreen 0.8;" should work).
ringOfProtection = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Custom\RingOfProtection\RingOfProtection.sqf";     Call it (probably from the init.sqf)  after the line "_playerMonitor = ..." with
[] spawn ringOfProtection; Note this is likely to have at least a small impact on each player.
 
Possible future upgrade:
 It could probably be addapted to a single item (i.e. admin base) but the item would need to be tagged (i.e. with a setvariable item "Protected" true type but of code) and then after the item classname is detected in range, the variable can be checked to see if that one in particular is protected.
 

ok, the fix is as follows
 
Change
_pic = gettext(configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon _killer) >> 'picture'); _kill_txt = format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>%1 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<img size='1.0' align='left' image='%2'/>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'> %3 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>[%4m]</t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)]; to
_pic = gettext(configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon _killer) >> 'picture'); _kill_txt = format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>%1 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,_distance]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<img size='1.0' align='left' image='%2'/>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,_distance]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'> %3 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,_distance]; _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>[%4m]</t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,_distance]; Ceil is trying to round up a string _distance as it's not a number, so incorrect syntax, by removing ceil you remove the rounding up and you get no error

First off i would like to thank one of my players in my community Tim aka maccon for the patience to help me test this to the point where I think he don't like spawning and joining in DayZ any more. We have tried to test this extensively in many different scenarios and i just can't get it to fail at all. So i really hope this is true.

Now to the fun part, converting to PlayerUID tied build system. This is not a beginner choice, but i will try and explain it step for step, even tho you might not fully understand why it has to be like this or that when we edit the code, just know that it has to be and you shouldn't edit it any other way then how i explain you to do it.

I expect that you have custom compiles.sqf and fn_selfAction.sqf else search for it on the forum how to

First off a little help for debugging, i'm going to show you how to log info from the clients connected to your server to the Server RPT! This is NOT the same as using the client RPT file so do not exclude looking in that if anything isn't working for you.
Open "Client_PBO\dayz_code\init" folder and copy publicEH.sqf to your "MISSION_FOLDER\custom" folder Open your mission init.sqf and change call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\publicEH.sqf"; to call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\publicEH.sqf"; Open your publicEH.sqf that we just copied and search for PVDZE_obj_setlocalVars below this line add this in "WG_admin_Log" addPublicVariableEventHandler {_logWGadmin = _this select 1;diag_log format["Client To Server: %1",_logWGadmin];}; any where you want to log anything from the client to the server log you use this code _log = (format["your text here: %1 %2 %3",your,variables,here]);WG_admin_Log = [_log];publicVariableServer "WG_admin_Log"; The above code will show "Client To Server: your text here: your variables here" in the server RPT Thats it for Client to server logging use it as you want, it helped me out alot! beside the Server and Client RPT

_object setVariable ["CharacterID",dayz_characterID,true]; _objectCharacterID = dayz_characterID; and replace it with

  In your fn_selfAction.sqf find "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\remove.sqf" and replace with "custom\remove.sqf" there is 2 places it has to be changed.

Now search for player_upgrade.sqf and change the path to "custom\player_upgrade.sqf" Then search for _ownerID = _cursorTarget getVariable ["CharacterID","0"]; just below add _playerUID = getPlayerUID player; _found=[_playerUID,"AX"] call KRON_StrInStr; if (_found) then { _playerUID=[_playerUID] call KRON_convertPlayerUID; }; Now search for if(_isModular and (dayz_characterID == _ownerID)) then { and replace it with if(_isModular and (_playerUID == _ownerID)) then { Now search for //Packing my tent if(_isTent and (player distance _cursorTarget < 3)) then { if (_ownerID == dayz_characterID) then { and replace it with //Packing my tent if(_isTent and (player distance _cursorTarget < 3)) then { if (_ownerID == _playerUID) then { Now search for //Sleep if(_isTent and _ownerID == dayz_characterID) then { and replace with //Sleep if(_isTent and _ownerID == _playerUID) then { Now search for player_buildingDowngrade.sqf and change the path to "custom\player_buildingDowngrade.sqf"

Now add "_playerUID" and "_found" to the private array at the top of the file
  Now you'r done and all build objects are now tied with your PlayerUID instead of CharacterID's. Friend system is also converted same goes for upgrade and remove. Just remember if you die the player has to refriend the players he was friends with before but they don't have to do it back unless they die themself. This also works perfectly if you run multiple characters as all characters have the same PlayerUID and they can all build. on the same plot.

So go tell your players to rebuild their plot pole!

I will not give any other install instructions or help in any other way as there is simply too many factors involved. i have tried following this guide before i posted it and it works if you follow it step for step. I will not help installing it on your server and i don't take any responsibility if you break anything on your server. Remember always to do backup!


 
If you want to test it out visit my Napf server 178.32.54.36:3000

I do NOT allow anyone to repost this on other sites, if you have a translated version into any language post it in the thread and I will merge it and give credit for translation. If I find a translated version or same version posted on other sites I will do what I can to get it removed and that person will never get any sort of help ever again from me!

...and this is precisely the attitude that warrants our crispy replies.
No different from standalone? Then go play Cod.

I started working on a port to Namalsk yesterday 
 
http://www.twitch.tv/dave_beastttt/b/587484461
 
Map loads fine, no big errors, it runs nice and smooth
 
To do
 
Loot table
Antagonists and possibly blood suckers
Traders and cities
Snow/Cold weather/Warm Clothes
Package Namalsk map into a simple download
 
Will be getting help from the devs as the setup could be applied to any of the Arma 2 maps
 

Sandbird, I definitely understand your frustration and anger. Your contributions to the Epoch community are hugely appreciated and please don't feel undervalued because a couple of miscreants treat your hard work with disrespect. I hope I speak for 99% of the community in saying that the majority of us don't condone or tolerate the stealing of someone else's hard work. I hope the Epoch moderators also feel the same way and give you the respect you deserve.
