I think, at this point, it is safe to say I am a little bit tied up and unable to finish this as soon as I would like to.
Yes, of course you can have the source code - I have re-created the original repo at gitlab and pushed the code as of latest commit. Please check top of 1st post in this thread for the source code URL.

Yes you can use. Thats why I have add it here so everyone can take a look at it and can use if they want.

It is a very complicated way to realize this script. The main point why it is so hard, is because the item like the food and all magazines and weapons a player can take in-game are just items and no objects. So you cannot set a variable on a single object like you can do it on a building, a vechicle or a player. To work around you have to set a variable on the player which saves what the player does and when with the items. Plus you have to save the state of the variables to the database.
From my point of view it is not worth the effort and the performace impact that this script would have for only this small feature. You could add the backpack checking to the script above but the rest I would skip.

@natoed Thanks for bringing this back to my attention, I had forgotten about it.
 
I spent my morning doing this..
 

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Epoch 1.0.7 Pre-Release with signed pbos and the needed server key. This will be in test until the 15th of April to make sure everything works correctly.
Joining with the DayZ Launcher
Download and install 7-zip from this website: https://7-zip.de/download.html Download the Epoch 1.0.7 Client Files from google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xx0wq8QJFG4AqeXquxMQADm8y73FYeYO If you have finished the download, unpack the Epoch 1.0.7 Client Files. You need at least 7,4 GB of disk space. Go into the folder where you have installed all your of Arma 2 OA DayZ mods. It depends on where the DayZ Launcher has set the path. Once you found the folder with your mods rename @DayZ_Epoch to @DayZ_Epoch_old. Copy and paste the downloaded and unpacked folder from 3. into the mods folder where you have renamed the Epoch Mod. Keep in mind you need at least 7,4 GB of disk space. There should be a folder with the name @DayZ_Epoch_old and @DayZ_Epoch now. Click on @DayZ_Epoch and check if there is a sub folder called addons. @DayZ_Epoch\addons. If there is another folder called @DayZ_Epoch copy everything from this folder into the root folder called @DayZ_Epoch. So it looks like: that @DayZ_Epoch\addons and not: @DayZ_Epoch@DayZ_Epoch\addons. You are ready to join an Epoch 1.0.7 Server now. Open the DayZ Launcher and join 94.130.68.169 - Offical DayZ Epoch 1.0.7 Pre-Release Version You will get a message that Epoch needs validating/updating. Click ok and ignore it. You can join the Test Server now. If you want to join any other Epoch non 1.0.7 server, just rename @DayZ_Epoch_old back to @DayZ_Epoch For Server Admins: You have to update to the new server files that coming with this Pre-Release update.
Download and install 7-zip from this website: https://7-zip.de/download.html Download the Epoch 1.0.7 Server Files from google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gHNE4VBCeYXi0P_hosAI8k-49v15WNdr Take the DayZEpoch107.bikey from the Server Files keys folder and put them into your server keys folder. Also set verifySignatures = 2; in your config.cfg to activate the signatures check. How to test:
Do not use any third party scripts or tools. Do not use infistar as an admin tool. Use this testkit: https://github.com/worldwidesorrow/TestKit Enable -showscripterrors in the DayZ Launcher and never ever use -nologs for testing. If you have bugs and problems on testing always provide logs. Server(if you are the admin) and Client Logs. You can find the Client Logs under C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA It is possbile that the folder is hidden in windows. You can make it visible: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10 Do not post the logs directly, use pastebin.com, google drive, or something like that and add the link. Report all bugs under this topic.

I think mgm is still travelling the world on a hoverboard...

Arma 3 Epoch 1.3.3.1 has been released!
This is a Server-Side update only - The Client files are still the same!

Server Files:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch

Gamemode File Changes:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/pull/1017/files

Full Changelog:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/changelog.md

Client Files (not changed):
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421839251
http://www.moddb.com/mods/epoch/downloads/epoch
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27245
 
(Optional)
Server Files are available here: 
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1642000412
Note: this is meant for updates only as there is no DB folder and all configs appended with "-example". The first-time install would need this -example part removed from the file name and the DB folder from Server Files on GitHub. Other than that it should just override and update the server pbo's and mission files and dll's .
 
 
Added
Clear message that the server is not fully loaded when Players login to early Optional Black Market Traders Build in RyanZ Zombiespawner (when RyanZ is enabled on the Server) Trader Filter for useable items on currently equipped weapons Fixed
On farming wracks / cinder, sometimes the more far away object was looted instead of the nearest Purchased Boats from Traders sometimes spawned damaged In some cases, purchased Vehicles spawned on top of already existing vehicles -> crashed Changed
  Server Owners
Added missing predefined variable "Epoch_BaseSpawnSkips" (no issues, just a rpt error) Krypto Limit from 250000 to 1000000 to prevent unwanted bans Some loot positions were not in correct syntax Black Market Traders can be configured within CfgBlackMarket.hpp (within the mission file) RyanZ Zombiespawner can be configured within epoch_server_RyanZ_Spawner.pbo (server side) To disable this spawner, you can remove this pbo from your Server

Install Ryan's Zombies and Demons mod on your server and enable it along side epoch. You can use this batch file along with steamcmd to install: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Tools/Install/InstallRyanZombies.cmd -mod="@Epoch;@Zombies and Demons;"  
Edit the line that says: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L37  *not needed as of build 570 ryanZombiesEnabled = false; to say true: ryanZombiesEnabled = true; Add the CfgPatches class for Ryans Zombies to your mission.sqm: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/mpmissions/epoch.Tanoa/mission.sqm#L22-L25 like this: addons[]= { "A3_epoch_config", "Ryanzombies" };  
Repack your mission pbo, and upload to server.

Just want to go over a few things about our (WIP) custom support of Ryan's Zombies and Demons mod and thank Ryan for giving his blessing on our support of his fine mod.
Please consider this a work in progress. 

We are only using the Slow type animation set for the zombies right now. However, additional zombie animation types are available: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/EpochCore/blob/experimental/Sources/a3_epoch_configs/Configs/CfgVehicles/Antagonists.hpp#L784-L1003 (Slow,Crawler, Spider, Boss, Walker,Medium) the spawning classes are setup here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L176
Zombies will try to horde up on you and will generally kill you with raising your blood pressure and will make you more toxic. If you get to many zombies attacking blood pressure will kill you. Otherwise you may later die from toxicity and running a fever (high temp) and there are ways to reduce toxicity and your temp in game.

Please share your feedback about our custom Epoch "Ryan" zombie implementation with us in this thread. 
Additional Notes: 
You must have Ryan's Zombies and Demons mod mod enabled on both server and client. Ryans Zombies support is disabled by default, you must set this variable ( https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L28 ) to true and add "Ryanzombies" cfgPatches classname to your missions addOns[] array ( https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/mpmissions/epoch.Tanoa/mission.sqm#L22-L25 ) to prevent players from joining without the mod enabled. 

okay my bad.
here is the situation, from day one, I intended to make this script GNU GPL Free Software meaning anyone can see/modify/redistribute the source code.
however, in the early days, I did not license it under GPL, instead distributed in obfuscated and minimized form until I clean up the code.
now the code is cleaned up, licensed under GPL, source code made available, including all in line comments.
the problem you are experiencing is because you downloaded an ancient (obfuscated) copy with crazy file names.
the solution is downloading the latest (unobfuscated) version.
I will update this post in a few minutes, will give you the correct latest download link and will also update the README. sorry for the trouble!

EDIT:
I will try to get version 0.5.0 out this weekend but until then here is the latest available version: https://gitlab.com/themgm/Transport_for_Arma/tree/stable/release_packages/0.4.8-hotfix1

I got a PM asking for the source code - here it is - remember last update was august 2016 so you  will need to update the code to make it work again:

EDIT fixed the link!
http://www.filedropper.com/tfasource
7zip password is three lowercase letters: 'tfa'

You sure can, I'll get it online and PM you.

:) I have some concept code.
Not really had time to do any game work recently, RL getting in the way again. Have just finished a long term contract and getting my business back up to the point where it can support us all.
Happy to post the concept code to the GIT if someone wants to pick it up.

hey axeman, how did the testing go? :)

Hello @Sneer they currently do not serve a purpose, for the epoch gamemode they will likely be used for crafting and/or trash loot and possibly other options later down the line.

For the 'Frankie' experience you will definitely have to have the base game plus all dlc and the Expansion.
On top of that as Kpabatok says you will require many community made mods to add to the official content, these are mostly freely available to all in the Arma community. You will find it extremely difficult to ever get on that one server due to how it is run; it is locked by a password that is given to only a 'favoured' few in the hosts community. 
Frankie's videos are showcases for that community's current pet projects and are nothing to do with how most servers run or play, they are also exercises in storytelling in Frankie's own small way, so the staging and cinematic cuts add to the story but detract from 'real game play'.
Enjoy Frankie's videos and look for a community run server that suits your needs, this will mean joining several different ones and testing them out for what you like. Hope you enjoy your Arma 3 journey!
