Q. What is it A. It builds the epoch BE filters from a default set   Q. OK so what does it do. A. It builds the epoch BE filters from a default set AND applies any modification you want to make by merging them   https://github.com/Dwarfer/phpbebuilder   ** ALWAYS TAKE BACKUPS ITS YOUR OWN FAULT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND YOU DON'T HAVE ONE **

Hi Guys,
 
Finally found a use for the plunger  :)
 

Check out the commandMenu settings (security_checks.h in the a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo). This is a whitelist based check so you should be able to add "#USER:ActionMenu" to the allowed array.

 
class commandMenu { menus[] = {"","RscSelectTeam","RscTeam","RscMoveHigh","#GETIN","#RscStatus","#WATCH0","RscCombatMode","RscMenuReply","RscCallSupport","#CUSTOM_RADIO","#User:BIS_fnc_addCommMenuItem_menu","RscRadio","RscReply","#ACTION","RscMenuFormations","#WATCH","RscGroupRootMenu","RscMainMenu","RscMenuMove","RscWatchDir","RscWatchMoveDir","#User:BIS_Menu_GroupCommunication","RscMenuStatus","RscFormations"}; };

a3_epoch_config.pbo
@Epoch\Addons\a3_epoch_config\Configs\CfgPricing.hpp
 
:-)

I wrote/hacked the following that works well to build the array for you.  Just load this for one server session to get the array then drop it
_locations = []; myObjects = nearestObjects [[15440, 15342, 0], ["Land_fs_feed_F" , "Land_FuelStation_Feed_F"], 200000]; { diag_log format["PUMPS %2=%1", getPosATL _x, typeOf _x]; _locations = _locations + [getPosATL _x]; } forEach myObjects; diag_log format["PUMPS %1",_locations]; Gives you the following. You can then take the last line and job done :-)
..... more just cut out for example. 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[21230.5,7116.66,0.220314]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[5023.15,14429.5,0.188965]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[5019.57,14436.7,0.273104]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[5768.85,20085.8,0.151474]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[4001.23,12592,0.190384]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[3757.67,13485.9,0.166541]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[3757.27,13477.9,0.231006]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS Land_fs_feed_F=[25701.3,21372.6,0.207424]" 17:04:34 "PUMPS [[16871.6,15476.8,0.236324],[16875.2,15469.5,0.236357],[14173.3,16541.9,0.189812],[15781.1,17453.2,-0.000139236],[15297.2,17565.9,0],[17417.2,13936.8,0.24405],[16751,12513.2,0.23003],[14221.3,18302.6,0.221512],[12028.5,15830,0.250191],[12026.5,15830.1,0.249483],[12024.5,15830,0.249846],[11831.5,14155.8,0.252144],[20784.9,16666,0.242706],[20789.6,16672.4,0.263279],[19961.3,11454.5,0.135704],[19965.1,11447.5,0.236927],[9025.65,15729.4,0.260368],[9023.87,15729,0.260071],[9021.95,15728.7,0.270943],[9205.86,12112.3,0.236019],[8481.81,18260.7,0.261154],[6798.15,15561.5,0.259289],[23379.3,19798.9,0.228766],[6198.93,15081.5,0.195257],[21230.5,7116.66,0.220314],[5023.15,14429.5,0.188965],[5019.57,14436.7,0.273104],[5768.85,20085.8,0.151474],[4001.23,12592,0.190384],[3757.67,13485.9,0.166541],[3757.27,13477.9,0.231006],[25701.3,21372.6,0.207424]]"

Are you using any extra vehicles ? simple fix would be to add !"bis_fnc_initVehicle" to the end of the first line in scripts.txt

Hi Guys,
 
I am wondering if people would find it useful if I created a virtual appliance that would/could run on VMWare Player (free http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Player)on your desktops PC's that could be used for development local testing ?.  You can then just use windows shares to edit/upload files to it so no major Linux knowledge would be necessary
 
I already do this myself however I have an ESX server hosted in my house for local DEV ;-).
 
Let me know what you guys think if its something that would be useful.
 
Thanks
 

I just inserted this at the top of each script:

if(true) exitWith{};

Simple way for billboard just stick something like this in your server.pbo then exec it. If you don't have a server PBO yet its really easy to make an auto starting one I can do an example if need be
_Billboard1 = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", [13338.2,14530.4,-0.365062], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _Billboard1 setDir 157.719; _Billboard1 setPosATL [13338.2,14530.4,-0.365062]; _Billboard1 setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "dmr\img\bbkos.jpg"]; _Billboard2 = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", [13338.3,14530.2,-0.365062], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _Billboard2 setDir 337.719; _Billboard2 setPosATL [13338.3,14530.2,-0.365062]; _Billboard2 setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "dmr\img\bbkos.jpg"]; _Billboard3 = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", [18439.4,14268.9,0.700289], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _Billboard3 setDir 60.127; _Billboard3 setPosATL [18439.4,14268.9,0.700289]; _Billboard3 setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "dmr\img\bbkos.jpg"]; _Billboard4 = createVehicle ["Land_Billboard_F", [18440,14269.4,0.713572], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _Billboard4 setDir 240.127; _Billboard4 setPosATL [18440,14269.4,0.713572]; _Billboard4 setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "dmr\img\bbkos.jpg"];

Hi Guys,
 
I have been wondering for awhile now if it would be better to detach the BattlEye Filters from the main epochserver package for the following reasons.
 
1) Every time 1 line needs changing we have a new epochserver package to download and install, I know that generally you just need to copy the one file from the package and update just that file however the majority of the community think they have to re apply the whole server update again and this is causing confusion.  I for one have been asked online and offline about 10 times in the last 3-4 days about what needs to be done to update.
 
2) Server owners to save themselves some hassle pick though the BE filters to find out what has changed, Yes we can use the varius diff but would it not be nice just to be able to see the diff's in one place ?  I for one would vote for this
 
3) Quicker reactions to problems/bugs or hacks.  Without having to compile X or Y.
 
4) Automation.  I for one could easily see a way to automate BE filter updates directly from the DEV's and apply my own additions automatically every restart thus moving hassle away from Admins and also giving the players a better experience. 
 
I am sure there are more but these were some of my top list.
 
Q. How could this be done
A. Easily. Version Control AKA GITHUB
To show what I mean I have setup  the following on github as I believe example are always better :-)

Nice Release View and easy to download most up to date (easy scripting place)
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/releases
 
This shows you what the differences are between the release thus making it easier to apply the updates.
 
For those who are wondering how you would use this as a base to mod your own lines in. Well you can use various tools to append, find, replace and change any number of lines or even a simple merge.
 
I personally am happy to keep this up to date as best I can if people think it would help but ideally it would be great for the DEV's to run as I think it will be more helpful for everyone.
 
I would be happy to write some documents and howto's and even videos on how server admins would/could use this.
 
** I should say that the DEV's will already be doing this anyway within the private github however what would be the harm of just making the BE filters public ?
 
As I side note I also think GSP's would find this very useful for keeping there servers up to date.
 
What do people think ? Does this sound like something that would help the community and or DEV's ? or is this just the ramblings of a Humble Dwarf who has been trying to help other server admins out

What do people think ? Does this sound like something that would help the community and or DEV's ? or is this just the ramblings of a Humble Dwarf who has been trying to help other server admins out

Hi Guys,
 
I have been wondering for awhile now if it would be better to detach the BattlEye Filters from the main epochserver package for the following reasons.
 
1) Every time 1 line needs changing we have a new epochserver package to download and install, I know that generally you just need to copy the one file from the package and update just that file however the majority of the community think they have to re apply the whole server update again and this is causing confusion.  I for one have been asked online and offline about 10 times in the last 3-4 days about what needs to be done to update.
 
2) Server owners to save themselves some hassle pick though the BE filters to find out what has changed, Yes we can use the varius diff but would it not be nice just to be able to see the diff's in one place ?  I for one would vote for this
 
3) Quicker reactions to problems/bugs or hacks.  Without having to compile X or Y.
 
4) Automation.  I for one could easily see a way to automate BE filter updates directly from the DEV's and apply my own additions automatically every restart thus moving hassle away from Admins and also giving the players a better experience. 
 
I am sure there are more but these were some of my top list.
 
Q. How could this be done
A. Easily. Version Control AKA GITHUB
To show what I mean I have setup  the following on github as I believe example are always better :-)

If you look at the following page you can start to see how this would work (click on one of the codes like fc16bb9 and 64dc4da)
 
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/commits/master/battleye
 
example
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/commit/64dc4da2c6e42ad9d60e8f83099e1a2adf137ac0#diff-eebd98b941739af49105df774982d418
 
This also shows A nice easy place to see changes
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/tree/master/battleye
 
Nice Release View and easy to download most up to date (easy scripting place)
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/releases
 
This shows you what the differences are between the release thus making it easier to apply the updates.
 
For those who are wondering how you would use this as a base to mod your own lines in. Well you can use various tools to append, find, replace and change any number of lines or even a simple merge.
 
I personally am happy to keep this up to date as best I can if people think it would help but ideally it would be great for the DEV's to run as I think it will be more helpful for everyone.
 
I would be happy to write some documents and howto's and even videos on how server admins would/could use this.
