[Increasing Plotpole Distance]

Forget that part.

Set this variable in your init.sqf

DZE_PlotPole = [50,50];

Your can change the plot pole radius here.

You have to execute the BIS dynamic text client side via a publicVariable in order that every player is able to see the notification.

ive noticed you need the key to your vehicle in your toolbelt to bring up the menu, Maybe this is your problem?

 

 

Loving the script Nice job OverHeaT, but still buggy for most of the vehicles. how wouldd i go about fixing these vehicles to retexture? i see some of the colouring when you are so far from the vehicle but part painted as you get closer the original skin pops back. coulkd this be to the vehicle being skinned in parts and will not show untill fully complete

 

Instead of irstrobe, increase the coin price? you will only end up buying it from trader anyways

 

Many Thanks

 

It's like Zupa and I said, not every vehicle can be retextured. For others the textures are buggy. Unfortunately, you can't change this.

 

You can change the coin price in your player_paint.sqf by setting the value of ColourPrice to anything you want.

ok i noticed that this did not work. I just did not have the time to test this yesterday.

Im gonna rewrite the script to fix these issues.

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

To fix the nil errors add this (instead of the old part)

                if ((_killername == "STRING") and ((currentWeapon _killer) == "STRING")) then {
			_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)];

			customkillMessage = [_kill_txt];
			publicVariable "customkillMessage";
		};

below

_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m", _victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

Yer most the time someone gets shot says nil / run someone over says nil when that happens people think im killing them will "admin hacks" when im not even on line ....

 

This could be avoided by checking if the killername, distance...etc. nil is and only execute this if it is not nil.

Give me a moment...

I just put this on my server and tested it out.. Man it's awesome!!! Great script

 

 

Just one thing, I am also getting the BLUFOR messages to pop in sidechat as well . Would you know how to disable this ?

 

Thank you in advance 

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = false;

Set this to false in your init.sqf

0verHeaT,

can you send me your plyrHit, server player died and server player death sqfs?

Cause nothing happen after installing your script

 

I posted it

[[Release] Paint Vehicles]

not working for me, I do not have the menu

 

Did you inlcude the Dialog in your description.ext ?

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

players sometimes respawn at their bodies with duped inv with the fix OP posted should i try the fix MGM posted?

 

You can either try the fix MGT posted or mine.

These will remove the bug where players spawn near their bodies.

[[Release] Paint Vehicles]

Hey 0verHeaT,

 

You need to do a little fix.

 

Change this

	if (((typeName(_worldspace select 2)) == "STRING") and ((typeName(_worldspace select 3)) == "STRING")) then {
		_colour = _worldspace select 2;
		_colour2 = _worldspace select 3;
					
		if (_colour != "0") then {
			_object setVariable ["Colour",_colour,true];
			_clrinit = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0,"+str _clrinit+"];";
		};
		if (_colour2 != "0") then {			
			_object setVariable ["Colour2",_colour2,true];
			_clrinit2 = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour2];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [1,"+str _clrinit2+"];";
		};
	};

To

if(count _worldspace >= 4) then{	
        if (((typeName(_worldspace select 2)) == "STRING") and ((typeName(_worldspace select 3)) == "STRING")) then {
		_colour = _worldspace select 2;
		_colour2 = _worldspace select 3;
					
		if (_colour != "0") then {
			_object setVariable ["Colour",_colour,true];
			_clrinit = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0,"+str _clrinit+"];";
		};
		if (_colour2 != "0") then {			
			_object setVariable ["Colour2",_colour2,true];
			_clrinit2 = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour2];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [1,"+str _clrinit2+"];";
		};
	};
};

This prevents the Error Zero divisor from being spammed into the RPT. The worldspace array is a default two elements. Without this check, you are checking out of bounds of the array causing the error.

 

Anyway, LOVE THE SCRIPT  :)

 

striker

 

 

P.S. If you add a third color, change >= 4 to >= 5

 

Yes you're right. Forgot to add this to prevent the zero divisor error.

Anyway, thanks for the hint striker  :)

[[Release] Paint Vehicles]

Description

 

This script is a public version of the notorious Vehicle Paint script which idea and code are originally 'invented' by maca134.

 

This mod allows you to retexture any vehicle on your server with any colour you choose.

 

 

Features

 

   -   Vehicles can be painted in two different colours

   -   Only vehicles with a CharacterID can be painted (Vehicles with key)

   -   Colours will be bound to to the Object(Vehicle) and will be persistent

   -   Colours codes are saved in the Worldspace field in the database

   -   Vehicles can be manually added or removed from an Array in your variables.sqf

 

 

Screenshots

 

 

 

FAQ

 

  Q: Will this script be compatible with Plot4Life because it uses the same gap in the database ?

  A: Yes. The colour will only be safed in this gap if the object is a vehicle.

 

  Q: I am not using Zupa's Singley Curreny System. Am I able to use this script as well ?

  A: Yes. The download includes files which are usable with the traditional curreny system.

1. Server Files:

1.1 In your server_function.sqf search for:

 

server_updateNearbyObjects = {

above add

"PVDZE_veh_Colour" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
	private["_position","_worldspace","_fuel","_key","_colour","_colour2","_object","_objectID","_PUID","_clrinit","_clrinit2","_pname","_name"];
		_object = ((_this select 1) select 0);
		_colour = ((_this select 1) select 1);

		_objectID =	_object getVariable ["ObjectID","0"];
		
		_key = format["CHILD:305:%1:%2:%3:",_objectID,_worldspace,_fuel];
		_key call server_hiveWrite;
	};

1.2 In 'compile/server_updateObject.sqf' change the following

_object_position = {
	private["_position","_worldspace","_fuel","_key"];
		_position = getPosATL _object;
		_worldspace = [
			round(direction _object),
			_position
		];
		_fuel = 0;
		if (_object isKindOf "AllVehicles") then {
			_fuel = fuel _object;
		};
		_key = format["CHILD:305:%1:%2:%3:",_objectID,_worldspace,_fuel];
		//diag_log ("HIVE: WRITE: "+ str(_key));
		_key call server_hiveWrite;
	};

to

_object_position = {
	private["_position","_worldspace","_fuel","_key","_colour","_colour2"];
		_position = getPosATL _object;
		if (_object isKindOf "AllVehicles") then {
			_colour = _object getVariable ["Colour","0"];
			_colour2 = _object getVariable ["Colour2","0"];
			_worldspace = [
				round(direction _object),
				_position,
				_colour,
				_colour2
			];
			_fuel = fuel _object;
		} else {
			_worldspace = [
				round(direction _object),
				_position
			];
			_fuel = 0;
		};
		_key = format["CHILD:305:%1:%2:%3:",_objectID,_worldspace,_fuel];
		//diag_log ("HIVE: WRITE: "+ str(_key));
		_key call server_hiveWrite;
	};

1.3 In your server_monitor.sqf search for:

if (_object isKindOf "AllVehicles") then {

below paste

private ["_colour","_colour2","_clrinit","_clrinit2"];

again in your server_monitor.sqf look for

} forEach _hitpoints;

(if you can't find this look for)

} count _hitpoints;

below add

if(count _worldspace >= 4) then{	
        if (((typeName(_worldspace select 2)) == "STRING") and ((typeName(_worldspace select 3)) == "STRING")) then {
		_colour = _worldspace select 2;
		_colour2 = _worldspace select 3;
					
		if (_colour != "0") then {
			_object setVariable ["Colour",_colour,true];
			_clrinit = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0,"+str _clrinit+"];";
		};
		if (_colour2 != "0") then {			
			_object setVariable ["Colour2",_colour2,true];
			_clrinit2 = format ["#(argb,8,8,3)color(%1)",_colour2];
			_object setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [1,"+str _clrinit2+"];";
		};
	};
};

Done.

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

It works, but your players WILL die and spawn right in front of the dead corpse.. WITH all gear. Trust.. Its not everyone or all the time.. but it will happen. I like the script. Hope there's a fix.

 

This issue occurs due to a syntax error in the  fnc_plyrHit.sqf. 

19:33:24 "PHIT: B 1-1-C:1 (XXX) REMOTE was hit by B 1-1-D:1 (XXX) REMOTE with DMR from 0m with 0.1625 dmg"
19:33:24 Error in expression <;

_weapon = weaponState _attacker;
if (_weapon select 0 == "Throw") then 
{
_we>
19:33:24   Error position: <_weapon select 0 == "Throw") then 
{
_we>
19:33:24   Error Nicht definierte Variable in Ausdruck: _weapon
19:33:24 File z\addons\dayz_server\compile\fnc_plyrHit.sqf, line 12 

 

As you can see the distance is here defined as a string due to this bug.

This will lead to the ceil error.

 

In my case i could fix this by replacing the current fnc_plyrHit.sqf with this:

private ["_victim", "_attacker","_weapon","_distance","_damage"];
_victim = _this select 0;
_attacker = _this select 1;
_damage = _this select 2;

if (!isPlayer _victim || !isPlayer _attacker) exitWith {};
if ((owner _victim) == (owner _attacker)) exitWith {
	_victim setVariable["AttackedBy", _victim, true];
};

_weapon = gettext (configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon _attacker) >> 'displayName');

_vehicle = typeOf (vehicle _attacker); 
if ((getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _vehicle >> "vehicleClass")) in ["CarW","Car","CarD","Armored","Ship","Support","Air","ArmouredW","ArmouredD","SupportWoodland_ACR"]) then {
	_weapon = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _vehicle >> "displayName");
};

_distance = _victim distance _attacker;

diag_log format["PLAYERHIT: %1 was hit by %2 with %3 from %4m with %5 dmg", _victim, _attacker, _weapon, _distance, _damage];

_victim setVariable["AttackedBy", _attacker, true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByName", (name _attacker), true];
//_victim setVariable["AttackedByWeapon", (currentWeapon _attacker), true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByWeapon", _weapon, true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedFromDistance", _distance, true]; 

 

 

Now you won't get any errors on the fnc_plyrHit.sqf and the ceil command works correctly now.

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

 

17:07:39 Error in expression <>%1 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];

_kill_txt = _kill_txt >

17:07:39   Error ceil: Type String, expected Number

17:07:39 File z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_playerDied.sqf, line 40

 

 

Looks like your '_distance' is not correctly defined.

It has to be defined like that in order to work:

_distance = _victim getVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil"];

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

Works it all the Time? Mine doesnt work all the time only ~50% the time

 

EDIT: May take this note Kill Messages doesnt work all the Time, due to the Server sometimes doesnt get the PKILL

 

Thats right. Any kill message will only be displayed when the server gets the PKILL.

(e.g. the DZE_DeathMsgGlobal does also not work all the time..)

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

Copy and replace the server_playerDied.sqf in 'day_server/compile'.

 

But if i have allready this 2 custom files, if i replase it some another mod stop work

 

I will make a step by step guide where you just have to add the necessary lines.

[[Release] Custom Kill Messages]

Description

 

Get all kill notification nicely displayed in the left upper corner. This will include the picture of the gun and the shot distance.

 

The format will look like that:

 

[killer] ['image'] [victim] ['distance in meters']

 

To see how it will look like in game:

 

UPDATE

• fixed bug where dead players spawn near their bodies with their old gear
• message will only appear when a player is shot by someone else
• if an attacker killed another player with a vehicle the message will show the picture of the vehicle instead of the gun

Done.

[Killmessages left upper corner]

With this code you won't get far..

In order to show the text with the picture of the gun correctly you have to call it with the 'BIS_fnc_dynamicText' function.

This function has to be executed client sided so that every player can can see the kill message at the same time.

[AI MISSION WITH VEHICLE PICTURE BOX]

You just have to replace the 'rTitleText' command with this:

_hint = parseText format["<t align='center' color='#088A85' shadow='2' size='1.75'>CHANGE HEAD HERE</t><br/><t align='center' color='#ffffff'>CHANGE TEXT HERE</t>"];
customRemoteMessage = ['hint', _hint];
publicVariable "customRemoteMessage";

This will make your text shown as a hint.

Make sure you have installed the custom remote message script by maca134 otherwise the code above will not work.

[DayZ Commander - Server isnt recognised as Epoch]

DayZ Commander needs some time (could take up to 2 days) to recognize that your server is running on Epoch. Just make sure the server name contains the Epoch version number at the beginning.
