Just a quick tip in case anyone else having the issue of missings clustering around Stary: This below seems to work well for us. Missions are no longer around Stary.
// Blacklist Zone Array -- missions will not spawn in these areas
// format: [[x,y,z],radius]
// Ex: [[06325,07807,0],300] //Starry Sobor
DZMSBlacklistZones = [
	[[0,0,0],500],
	[[06325,07807,0],1500] //Starry Sobor
];

WOW! mgm's gone big!! :D

Can you post it and I can check. Also thanks for all the info you guys posted. You are pretty much changing the variables back to what they were in DZMS. I just changed it so it would be easier to configure.

Like here for example:

	_scount = count DZMSpistolList;
	for "_x" from 0 to 2 do {
		_sSelect = floor(random _sCount);
		_item = DZMSpistolList select _sSelect;
		_crate addWeaponCargoGlobal [_item,1];
		_ammo = [] + getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _item >> "magazines");
		if (count _ammo > 0) then {
			_crate addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_ammo select 0),(round(random 8))];
		};
	};

and my version is:

	_scount = count DZMSpistolList;
	for "_x" from 0 to DEFMPistolRate do {
		_sSelect = floor(random _sCount);
		_item = DZMSpistolList select _sSelect;
		_crate addWeaponCargoGlobal [_item,DEFMPistolRate];
		_ammo = [] + getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _item >> "magazines");
		if (count _ammo > 0) then {
			_crate addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_ammo select 0),(round(random DEFMPistolAmmoRate))];
		};
	};

Feel free to say how to optimize it and I will attempt to and upload it to the GitHub

Hey again, on your other point, I haven't moved away from your the general change in config in your version as I really like the ability to control the random number from 0-5. So, the things I have changed is:

ekroemer's line so the amount of each item isn't sometimes duplicated
fixed the AI skill arrays to '0' for major and '1' for minor
changed the skillset for '0' & '1' so minor were easier and major are harder
removed any supply or money crates from minor missions
Change the missions so 'weapons' was used for crates in all the major and 'weps' for the minor missions (same with medical)
Changed the calls from box to a new gun list in weaponcratelist only where it was calling the same list before so I can separate the types of guns between minor and major. This way I have generally but not explicitly put all the 7.62 cal in major and .556 in minor.
changed the ai weapon loadout in Weps0 and Weps1 so '0' get the 7.62's and '1' get the .556's

An example using the sniper list is below:

//load sniper
_scount = count DZMSsniperListB;
for "_x" from 0 to DEFMSniperRate do {
_sSelect = floor(random _sCount);
_item = DZMSsniperListB select _sSelect;
_crate addWeaponCargoGlobal [_item,DEFMSniperRate];
_ammo = [] + getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _item >> "magazines");
if (count _ammo > 0) then {
_crate addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_ammo select 0),(round(random DEFMSniperAmmoRate))];
};
};

This then calls the 'B' list below while major missions call the normal weapon list:

// Sniper Rifles
DZMSsniperList = ["SVD_CAMO","SCAR_H_LNG_Sniper","SCAR_H_LNG_Sniper_SD","M110_NVG_EP1","DMR_DZ","M24"];
DZMSsniperListB = ["huntingrifle","M8_sharpshooter","M40A3","VSS_Vintorez","M16A4_ACG"];

My players and I love your new system. Well done and many thanks for the contribution!

I have pm'd you a dropbox link to my files in case you wanted a browse...

It sounds like you have missed the step 1 of the original post.
The functions you need to replace are ui_selectSlot and fn_gearMenuChecks. Normally, these point to sqf files in the dayz_code pbo.
player_selectSlot =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\ui_selectSlot.sqf";
fn_gearMenuChecks =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\fn_gearMenuChecks.sqf";
These functions need to point to the files in the mission file:
player_selectSlot =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\player_selectSlot.sqf";
fn_gearMenuChecks =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\fn_gearMenuChecks.sqf";
I hope this will point you in the right direction.
I am working on a complete re-write of this that will be a lot simpler to install, if you cant get this to work you may try the experimental new version.

Hi David, unless I'm being blind those modified calls above to the new overridden files aren't in your original post....? Could be where people are getting stuck...

how to make spawn every 30 minutes or random?

Hey, you can change to this to spawn every 30 minutes:

EpochEvents = [["any","any","any","any",10,"animated_crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",40,"animated_crash_spawner"]];

The 10 and the 40 being the minutes between 0-59 within each hour that the events spawn at.

August 23, 2014

Hey, has anyone else had the problem where the crates don't spawn at minor SM2? It has only started happening over the last couple of days for me and I haven't altered this mission in any way...very odd!

August 22, 2014

Replace your local_lockUnlock with this:

private ["_vehicle","_status"];
_vehicle = _this select 0;
_status = _this select 1;

if (local _vehicle) then {
	_vehicle setVehicleLock (if (_status) then { "LOCKED" } else { "UNLOCKED" });
	_vehicle setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled", _status, true];
	player action ["lightOn", _vehicle];
	[objNull, _vehicle, rSAY, "CarLock", 20] call RE;
	uiSleep 0.5;
	player action ["lightOff", _vehicle];
};

Thanks! :)

August 22, 2014

I am currently already overriding local_lockunlock to disable R3Farty lift and tow on locked vehicles so my file looks like this:

private ["_vehicle","_status"];

_vehicle = _this select 0;

_status = _this select 1;

if (local _vehicle) then {

if(_status) then {

_vehicle setVehicleLock "LOCKED";

_vehicle setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled",true,true];

} else {

_vehicle setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";

_vehicle setVariable ["R3F_LOG_disabled",false,true];

};

};

Can you tell me what it should look like when merged?

Thanks

can anyone help? Thanks

August 22, 2014

Hi, do you have an updated version for Epoch 105+? I mean just to make locked cars not salvageable.

I tried this on 1051 and nobody could lock or unlock cars....

August 21, 2014

I am currently already overriding local_lockunlock to disable R3Farty lift and tow on locked vehicles so my file looks like this:

check line 9 inside server_tradeObject.sqf in dayz_server\compile\ for a spelling mistake in line 9, <urrency = _this select 5;

it might be that you need to correct that spelling mistake from urrency to currency. sorry i was away and you might have fixed it already

Hi, there doesn't appear to be any spelling mistakes and I haven't touched server_tradeObject.sqf from default. I have pasted it below:

private ["_player","_name","_traderid","_buyorsell","_data","_result","_key","_outcome","_clientID"];

_player = _this select 0;

_traderID = _this select 1;

_buyorsell = _this select 2; //0 > Buy // 1 > Sell

_classname = _this select 3;

_traderCity = _this select 4;

_currency = _this select 5;

_qty = _this select 6;

_clientID = owner _player;

_price = format ["%2x %1",_currency,_qty];

_name = if (alive _player) then { name _player; } else { "Dead Player"; };

if (_buyorsell == 0) then { //Buy

diag_log format["EPOCH SERVERTRADE: Player: %1 (%2) bought a %3 in/at %4 for %5", _name, (getPlayerUID _player), _classname, _traderCity, _price];

} else { //SELL

diag_log format["EPOCH SERVERTRADE: Player: %1 (%2) sold a %3 in/at %4 for %5",_name, (getPlayerUID _player), _classname, _traderCity, _price];

};

if (DZE_ConfigTrader) then {

_outcome = "PASS";

} else {

//Send request

_key = format["CHILD:398:%1:%2:",_traderID,_buyorsell];

_data = "HiveEXT" callExtension _key;

_result = call compile format ["%1",_data];

// diag_log ("TRADE: RES: "+ str(_result));

_outcome = _result select 0;

};

dayzTradeResult = _outcome;

if(!isNull _player) then {

_clientID publicVariableClient "dayzTradeResult";

};

Any more ideas? Someone mentioned earlier not to worry about it but, this is literally the last error in my server rpt apart from the usual client/server object not found spam.

August 20, 2014

I think lag is causing this. server<-->client interaction. A faster server might solve this.

OK, have tried with low pop this morning, soon after restart with server FPS at 21. I am using Vert for hosting.

Still seems to work if you run at a locked door and hit prone just as you bump into the door. Can anyone else recreate on their servers? I think you need to be doing it at a door where the lock is facing you (facing outside). Then it works pretty much 80% of the time.

August 19, 2014

ok, thanks, will try quickly after a restart at a low pop time and report back.

August 19, 2014

Do you think there's something that could be done with the epoch antiwall to prevent this?

August 19, 2014

Has anyone noticed that if you run at a locked door and just as you are bumping into the door, if you go prone it lets you in the base?

This is horrible as it works nearly all the time and let's you in and out.

Sandbird, could your script above be edited to cover that?

August 19, 2014

Does this cover the base entry exploit where a player can run at a locked door, hit prone just as they're bumping into the door and then they're inside the base?

sixgunzx2 · August 18, 2014

I use infistar and piggd's solution and have no issue.

August 18, 2014

I'm not sure what that does, but i do not think it is in any way related to the Animated Crash Spawner.

Thanks Richie, added to OP.

I thought you did control crash spawner by the max heli crashes either not having it in there at all or changing that variable to control it.....

PeterBeer, why don't you have a go at changing it to 5 and seeing what happens. I think also, if you delete it altogether it will lean off some default settings probably in variables (without checking) so, you can try that too.

I'm sure I saw somewhere in some posts ages ago that if you set that to 0 it will turn off the crash spawner and supply drop function which this runs from...

Havoc302 · August 16, 2014

So I'm trying to edit a mission, I can find what the values are for all the other items in the missions except this one, someone mind breaking it down for me?
[[[(_position select 0) + 85, (_position select 1) - 85, 0],[(_position select 0) - 85, (_position select 1) + 85, 0]],"M2StaticMG",0,"",1,2,"","Random",true] call spawn_static;
[[[(_position select 0) + 85, (_position select 1) - 85, 0],[(_position select 0) - 85, (_position select 1) + 85, 0]],"M2StaticMG",0,"",1,2,"","Random",true] call spawn_static;

I can't work out exactly what those do.

Hey, the instructions for those values from the original system are here:

Custom static weapon spawns Eg. (with one position)


[[[911.21545,4532.7612,2.6292224]], //position(s) (can be multiple).
"M2StaticMG",             //Classname of turret
0.5,   //Skill level 0-1. Has no effect if using custom skills
"Bandit2_DZ",   //Skin "" for random or classname here.
1,   //Primary gun set number. "Random" for random weapon set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
2,   //Number of magazines. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
"",   //Backpack "" for random or classname here. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
"Random"   //Gearset number. "Random" for random gear set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
] call spawn_static;


Custom static weapon spawns Eg. (with multiple positions)


[[[911.21545,4532.7612,2.6292224],[921.21545,4532.7612,2.6292224]], //position(s) (can be multiple).
"M2StaticMG",             //Classname of turret
0.5,   //Skill level 0-1. Has no effect if using custom skills
"Bandit2_DZ",   //Skin "" for random or classname here. 
1,   //Primary gun set number. "Random" for random weapon set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
2,   //Number of magazines. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
"",   //Backpack "" for random or classname here. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
"Random"   //Gearset number. "Random" for random gear set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)
] call spawn_static;

But, I know f3cuk has changed some of this stuff in the new system like skill so, you may want to have a quick compare from the old system to the new one to see check what values have changed....

August 16, 2014

Nice, glad you're sorted! :)

August 15, 2014

Thanks! :)

August 14, 2014

It's not enabled by default, the latest download I got they were off. You need to go into WAI\init.sqf and at the very top change.

if(isServer) then {

custom_spawns = true;

to be true ;)

Oh apologies and thanks for correcting me there Havoc302!

I was getting confused with the original WAI system :wacko:

August 14, 2014

How can i enable custom_spawns? Cant find the option in cfg.

they're enabled by default as soon as you put them between these lines for each of the categories. I have used vehicle as an example below:

Place your vehicle patrols below this line
*/
Configure them here by using the template examples included in the file above

There is no compiles.sqf in the Server.pbo. There is only compiles.sqf in @Dayz_Epoch/addons/dayz_code.pbo

This should be in your mission.pbo.

However, you may not have it in there if you haven't loaded up any scripts that required you to override the compiles.sqf in the game folder.

Do you have a folder called custom, scripts or addons in your mission folder? If yes, is there compiles.sqf file in there? Can you run search on your mission file for compiles.sqf

If you don't have one then create a folder called custom in your mission folder. Put a copy of compiles.sqf in there from your dayz_code.pbo.

Then change this line in your mission init file:

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf";

to this:

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\compiles.sqf";

then make the changes in piggd's post earlier in this thread, repack your mission.pbo, upload and away you go!

August 14, 2014

All ready have the code so the box only spawns if 75% of the ai is killed

Where is that?
