second_coming

I appreciate every publicly released script whether I use it or not as most of them can be used to educate yourself on how to write and modify your own server setup. You guys rock :)

V2.1 is out.  Overhaul of logic bomb will permit much more flexibility in mission design.  Integration of UAV/UGV's, and new Captive AI logic and theme.
v2.1
Fixed slow helo's. All helo's now spawn and fly at proper speeds.
Vehicle stuck logic enhanced.
Fixed data entry error in the 'Aquatic' theme that was causing frogmen to be on side 'EAST' instead of 'RESISTANCE' (no wonder they wouldn't shoot at you!!!!!!!)
*UAV and UGV mission support UAV's and UGV's use all the same logic as 'drivers'. See MissionFile.htm, AI_Logic section for options. Valid UAV and UGV objects are defined for FuMS in the BaseServer.sqf file. See BaseServer.htm for details.
*Theme Global Loot Data Fixed bug causing a parsing error when choosing to use a theme's local loot data file.
*Rebuild of Logic Bomb See MissionFile.htm for details. Missions now operate on a trigger/action mechanic. Mission phasing has been removed. Missions now create children missions as part of the new 'logic' structure. Settings for the new 'mission launch' actions are detailed in MissionFile.htm. Mission spawning no longer 'suspends' triggers in the active mission, and admin's can now control how assets created in spawned missions contribute to the parent mission. Also see Test theme TestMission01.sqf for multiple examples.
*New Triggers
"OK" - Use of this trigger will result in the associated action occurring immediately upon mission start. "CAPTIVE" - Evaluates 'true' when the specified number of AI have been rescued. *New Mission Actions:
"Lose" - causes 'lose' messages and loot events "Win" - causes 'win' messages and loot events "END" - terminates the mission and cleans up mission resources. Operates independent of win/lose. win/lose no longer clean up the mission. "CHILD",["",[location],Times, Frequency(seconds) ] "STEPCHILD",["",[location],Times, Frequency(seconds)] Child and StepChild spawn new missions that will share and inherit resources. See MissionFile.htm.
MissionFile.htm updated. -Details on new Mission Logic -Details on how XPOS works with respect to 2D, 3D coordinates and 'named' locations.
*New AI Logic: "CAPTIVE" - makes a unit 'neutral' with AI regardless of its 'side'. Adds an action menu to the AI with the following options:
Flee: If within 200m of a rescue spot captive will run to that location. Otherwise it selects a random rescue spot from the list provided. Unit sets CARELESS behavior and sprints to its destination. Stay: Unit will stop at its location and assume the stance of the player issuing the order. Follow: Unit will follow the player, mimicking his stance. If the player gets more than 250m away from the unit, the unit will resort to a 'Stay' behavior using the stance of the player at the time the unit loses him. Board: Unit will board nearest non-ai controlled vehicle. Escape Point: Unit will temporarily display its 'escape point' on the map. Note: The captives are a little 'shell shocked' and will sometimes take a few seconds to respond to commands, but they will always acknowledge they heard the command via 'system chat'. Note: Captives that start a mission as 'cargo' in an AI vehicle will remain in the vehicle until it is disabled. Note: Captives assigned to follow an AI group will stop following that group when the group leader dies. Note: Captives remain 'neutral' to hostile AI until directed to Flee. *New "CAPTIVE" Theme
Theme demonstrates new Captive logic. This theme creates a mission in a random location that contains 10 prisoners being guarded by a small squad of Humans, and an unarmed UGV. The goal is to get into the camp and rescue at least 7 of the captured clone prisoners. Beware, if too many of the guards are killed, reinforcements will be called upon! Talk to an captive to find his 'evac location', take advantage of nearby transportation, and if you succeed expect to find loot at one of the Evac sites! *New SoldierData Flag
All AI defined in SoldierData files may also be provided with a true/false flag to set their captivity. This flag has no relation to the new 'Captive' AI logic and missions. This flag is a method to define custom AI that, by default, are 'setcaptive', thus hostile AI will not fire upon them. See GlobalSoldierData.htm section 8 for more details. Issues:
Loot set to be placed in vehicles is not working consistently.

Don't put yourself as owner and high, you want one or the other not both.

In you mission init.sqf insert the following:
 
// Control the epoch ai limit per player // 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist // 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark // 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper // 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark) // 5. I_UAV_01_F = UAV (that spawns the AI) // 6. PHANTOM = Invisible phantom // 7. B_Heli_Transport_01_F = Transport helicopter for the mission system EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1];

Chernarus+

fixed that for you :)

Here is the one I use on my server. It's a work in progress as it was based on the Chernarus one so some things aren't right yet. (I haven't looked at it for a while as I've kind of lost interest at the moment)

I've been struggling with storing all loot that my mates bring from AI missions and I decided to create bigger boxes that would be stored in the database as a storage unit. I took Shelf from Epoch client as an example. The new box can hold up to 10000 lbs of loot compared with 300 lbs of the Shelf. The new box may be built using 4 Large Corrugated + 4 Plank Packs. By using the larger boxes I also managed to remove 100 or so shelves and replace them with 10 boxes. I guess that may increase my server performance just a bit.
 
Check out this video and let me know what do you think.

Here's the link to the new extra_storage.pbo
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxlL3HGbsA4PQkx5S3k0NTZuRVE/view?usp=sharing
 
You will need to put extra_storage.pbo into an existing or a custom @mod\addons folder on the server and on each client that connects to the server.
 
I also added this line into my mission.sqm:
addOns[] = { ... "extra_storage", ... } You may also want to customize your cfgCrafting.hpp to include the recipes to build the Storage Box Kit:
class ItemCorrugatedLg : Default { usedIn[] = { "VehicleRepairLg", "KitPlotPole", "KitStorageBox" }; recipe[] = { { "ItemCorrugated", 3 } }; }; class PartPlankPack : Default { usedIn[] = {"KitStudWall","KitWoodFloor","KitWoodFoundation","KitWoodStairs","KitWoodRamp","KitTiPi", "KitStorageBox"}; recipe[] = {{"WoodLog_EPOCH",2}}; }; class KitStorageBox : Default { recipe[] = {{"ItemCorrugatedLg",4}, {"PartPlankPack",4} }; }; That's it! No more struggling with finding place to put that new sniper rifle, or 10 rifles :)

fixed that for you :)

AUSTRALIA
I have been waiting for this little beauty for fuggin ages!
The island is 8 times larger than Altis and is 1600Km2 compared to Altis 270Km2.  :blink:

In you mission init.sqf insert the following:
 
// Control the epoch ai limit per player // 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist // 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark // 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper // 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark) // 5.

Open a Doctors surgery and you'll get plenty of patients.

you could also set it up like this:
 
is redis fuctioning as expected? no
is redis much better than sql? no
is redis much more secure than sql? no
does redis have a decent database manager? no
 
saving player data in profilenamespaceis not exactly a good idea since it can easily be changed and is most likely a slower operation than an extension call.
 
im having quite a lot of truble with redis aswell and im not exactly an idiot, lol.
... not to mention i have yet to see the argument for me to keep redis once there is an sql version available to me ...

If it were restricted to only being persistent for certain items (like mines,tripwires) and also only in the range of your own jammer then I'd be all for it.

Forget the codes and tie them to the jammer.
the thing i hated the most about A2 EPOCH was having to write 100's of codes down for all my clans bases on every server we played on, thank god the door codes are tied to the jammer this time round.

Look at post 33.....
 
Trader City Buildings...

Kyrane,
   Try removing the comman from line 48 AND removing lines 51 and 52.  This will force the mission to only use M2Editor defined buildings.
 
There is an a bug in FuMS. I won't be back in town for another two weeks. So can't get to the code to test/fix it. (along with a few other minor bugs)
 
While I have been away, I've done some research on audio in arma, and I am planning to overhaul the radio chatter system that is a little more clean.  The chatter was 1st component I built into FuMS and I agree with most folks that it is a little cludgy :)

I have been working on a dropin replacement so Epoch can use another db engine, had it workingwith MySQL + Sqlite.
Currently, the dll is writing all "Epoch Data" to a database, it requires no extra changes to files and uses none of Epoch's current code.
I have only implemented "SET" so far but it is running side-by-side on a live server. I also added a tool to import a Redis db too ;)
 

FYI,
 
32GB vs 64GB vs 128GB
 
Does not make any diff.. A3 only uses about 2GB so even with OS and 3 servers 8GB fits OK.. however 16GB would be better for "swap" reasons especially if your on a windows box.

Arma 3 client/servers love powerful CPUs with high clock speed and can't effectively use more than 2 threads at once, so go with the 4 core Xeon CPU. Regarding hyperthreading do not put your server on a hyperthreaded (logical) core, as one hyperthreaded core is not the equivalent to one physical core.
 
How HT works (abridged version): Each core of a CPU is able to handle one thread at any one instant, but certain inefficiencies such as a thread needing to wait for another thread (on another core) to finish executing before it can continue. This waiting time is wasted time on a CPU without hyperthreading, but HT lets a second thread execute on the same core while that original thread is temporarily on hold.
 
It's kind of like eating a large hamburger held on one hand (physical core), and getting thirsty halfway through eating it, then using your second hand (logical HT core) to pick up your drink for a quick sip while you temporarily lower your burger. You're doing two different tasks, but not at the same time. You can't eat at the exact same instant that you're taking a sip. If you happen to never get thirsty while eating your burger, that drink won't be touched until you've finished eating.
 
Hope you understand the analogy.
 
Also regarding Intel vs AMD, current Intel CPUs are able to do more work per GHz than AMD CPUs, so you can't make direct comparisons based on speed. The way AMD counts cores is also different, each core is paired up into "modules" that act like individual hyperthreaded cores. So the actual number of physical cores is more like half of the stated number.

One additonal thing, If you don't already have a player base then I would recomend getting 1 cheap server to start with (if we a GSP most offer trade up programs) then build a player base and move to bigger boxes as and when you can/need to.
 
50 players on a new server is hard to start. Just look at all the empty servers already around.
