If you are like me and love to make random Arma3 server for fun "LOCALLY". And/or making scripts and want to look for errors or whatever without opening the .rpt manually to keep track of your errors, then you can use this, made in python to stream your .rpt live on a second screen to see whats going on? Then maybe you will find an utility for it.
What is this script doing ?
Well it's main function is to constantly stream your server .rpt in a seperate window to keep track of anything you like.
Right now i use it to see any errors and copy the errors to a file when found.
It also copy "tickets" or "idea" from a function i have on the server to a file.
Can be expanded to suit your need for anything you like if you know a tiny bit of python like i do.

The script:
Can be easily tested in VSCode, to get a cmd prompt like in the video, you will need some setting on opening a .py file.

it's in:
"\epoch_config\Configs\CfgEpochClient.hpp"
look for:

Check in your server launch parameter after your loaded mod for something like this:
-config=@epochhive\server.cfg -port=2302 -profiles=SC_EPOCH -cfg=@epochhive\basic.cfg -name=SC_EPOCH -malloc=tbbmalloc_x64 -autoinit
If your parameter looks like this -profiles=SC_EPOCH and -name=SC_EPOCH then, go into  your  "\Arma 3\SC_EPOCH\users\SC_EPOCH" and open:  SC_EPOCH.Arma3Profile
Should look something like this:
class Missions
{
    class Epoch {
        template = epoch.Chernarus; // DO NOT CHANGE THIS, IT WILL BREAK YOUR SERVER
        difficulty = "Custom";    // difficulty settings: veteran == NORMAL, mercenary == HARDCORE
    };
};

try in @epochhive and open epochconfig.hpp and check this out:
StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,8,0}; // {0,0,0,8,0} would forces the server to start at 8am each time it is started while allowing the year, month and day to stay real time. Any values left at 0 will result in no change.

Hello,
Ive got a question about the epoch_message notification.
I really like the notification epoch uses and wanted to add it to my mission to notify player but i am having format problem.
this is what i did:
Client:
//"Epoch_Message1" "Epoch_Message1" addPublicVariableEventHandler { private ["_Epoch_msg"]; _Epoch_msg = _this select 1; [_Epoch_msg, 10] call Epoch_message; }; And server uses this to use it:
Epoch_Message1 = ["New mission available. Check map."]; publicVariable "Epoch_Message1";
But as you can see on the picture below, the message copy the  [  and the  " "How can i get ride of it without breaking it. If i remove anything it doesn't work.
Thanks!

Just a guess, if you added this at the end of your altis.h did you remove the extra  ,  at the end of your last line before the };
Only thing i can see right now. Or post your complete file.

_msg = (_this select 1) select 0; // Would equal "New mission availible. Check Map." Thats great, thanks alot. Actually didn't know you could do = (_this select 1) select 0;  Make sense now!

In your example you would be getting this in return:
["Epoch_Message1",["New mission availible. Check Map."]] So your selections:
_var = (_this select 0); // Would Equal "Epoch_Message1" _msg = (_this select 1) select 0; // Would equal "New mission availible. Check Map." If you wanted to pass an array of strings you would have to either take the entire array and forEach it or select each element of the array for different variables.
So:
Epoch_Message1 = ["New mission available.","Check map."]; publicVariable "Epoch_Message1"; And then:
_var = (_this select 0); // Would Equal "Epoch_Message1" _msg = (_this select 1) select 0; // Would equal "New mission availible." _msg2 = (_this select 1) select 1; // Would equal "Check map."

yes, even better! works great.
Thank you.

In a publicVariable there are a few this values. The incoming looks like this:
["PublicVariableName",[value1,value2,etc]]
So you were doing select 1 which selects the value array adding the brackets to the message.
Should be (_this select 1) select 0;
I see you have it solved though.

Even better way is to use RemoteExec from the server, like so:
["New mission available. Check map.", 10] remoteExec ["Epoch_message",-2]; // -2 targets everyone but the server This way there are no client side changes needed.

Also, this is the function:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/e16ee710ae7cd909fa4f9b1eae569a182e8cc10d/Sources/epoch_code/gui/scripts/messaging/Epoch_message.sqf

The "" are standard in this messages. To remove the [] try: Epoch_Message1 = "New mission available. Check map."; publicVariable "Epoch_Message1";

If you only want to change the loadout, you can add it to the config (Will also be added in the next Update):
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/commit/e3fb007cf402edd702d416e92ce7765729c15ef8

also check out this the hard work has been done for us all sometime ago
my epochconfig.hpp as an example below from line 33 to 81
 
 

A big thanks to you sir. Working great now, was about to give up after hours of trying and nothing at all was happening. Can't beleive it was this simple :D

Make sure in sandbox_config in your mission file, you have respawnOnStart = 0; and not = -1

Thank you, i got it sorted out. Simply added 2 line in a CUSTOM_FNC_SPAWNVEHICLE function.
Big thanks for looking it up and your time :D
It's the way i am using the spawn of vehicle that was making it not work as it should : \
 

Soz I thought the script ran client side, cause my post above would have worked if it was client side.
could try He-Man's answer here
As its server side the below should work.
call EPOCH_server_setVToken;
Also I have noted in lotta scripts/mission systems the "BIG BOYS"  all use the below as well.
_veh call EPOCH_server_vehicleInit;
hope you sort it,  i'll shut up now.
cheers
natoed
 

I take it the script run's client side, remoteexec the vehicle spawning by adding  the below in your missionfile \epoch_config\ConfigsCfgRemoteExec.hpp
within the  class Functions brackets.
class EPOCH_server_setVToken { allowedTargets = 2; jip = 0; }; so you use
_spawnGroup6 call EPOCH_server_setVToken;
finish with
_spawnGroup6 remoteexec ['EPOCH_server_setVToken',2];
try this, let me know plz
//ADDING GROUND PATROL //GROUP #6 _spawnGroup6 = [_kRandSpawnPos5, 180, "O_G_Offroad_01_armed_F", resistance] _spawnGroup6 call EPOCH_server_setVToken; nul_script6 = [(_spawnGroup6 select 2), (getMarkerPos "Missionmarker1"), 1000] call VEHICLE_PATROL; //BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; TANK_AI_1 = _spawnGroup6 select 0; _spawnGroup6 remoteexec ['EPOCH_server_setVToken',2]; //CREATE VEHICLE MARKER IF OPTION SELECTED if (VEHICLE_MARKER isEqualTo 1) then { _VehicleMarker1 = createMarker ["Vehicle_1", getPos TANK_AI_1]; "Vehicle_1" setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; "Vehicle_1" setMarkerShape "ICON"; "Vehicle_1" setMarkerType "o_mech_inf"; "Vehicle_1" setMarkerText ""; "Vehicle_1" setMarkerSize [0.6,0.6]; }; //ADDING FLYING PATROL //GROUP #7 _spawnGroup7 = [[getMarkerPos "Missionmarker1" select 0, getMarkerPos "Missionmarker1" select 1], 270, "O_Heli_Light_02_F", resistance] _spawnGroup7 call EPOCH_server_setVToken; nul_script7 = [(_spawnGroup7 select 2), (getMarkerPos "Missionmarker1"), 1000] call HELI_PATROL; //BIS_fnc_taskPatrol; HELI_AI_1 = _spawnGroup7 select 0; _spawnGroup7 remoteexec ['EPOCH_server_setVToken',2]; //CREATE VEHICLE MARKER IF OPTION ENABLED if (VEHICLE_MARKER isEqualTo 1) then { _VehicleMarker2 = createMarker ["Heli_1", getPos HELI_AI_1]; "Heli_1" setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; "Heli_1" setMarkerShape "ICON"; "Heli_1" setMarkerType "c_plane"; "Heli_1" setMarkerText ""; "Heli_1" setMarkerSize [0.6,0.6]; };

Wrong.
init.sqf is the first ever script to be loaded in mpmissions. It can be used for anything - from defining variables to compiling functions (just like any other file... filenames means nothing, any file can be used for any task).
function is also just a variable that is defined by compiling a file (read by engine in form of string), preprocessor takes care of comments and defines if exists.
Down the list comes compiles and variables files, which are nothing different from init.sqf - they all are just files to be processed.
When it comes to programming - when you set a variable, it is created in a namespace (a group of blocks in your RAM), if you redefine variable later, it is overwritten.
This means that there is no such thing as priority. Last defined is the variable that is used.
To answer your question - if you define same variable in 2 different places, last one to be loaded will be the one used, and since init.sqf is always first file to be loaded and it is used to load variables.sqf, then variable inside variables.sqf is used instead.

The variables you put in init.sqf will be the one that take priority. If no variable is set for an option in the init.sqf, then it will set a default option set from the variables.sqf
So variables.sqf will only select that option if nothing is set in the init.sqf
So from init.sqf   "DZE_GodModeBase = true"    will activate that options and will skip the  "DZE_GodModeBase = false" from variables.sqf since the option is already written in your init.
From the variables.sqf you can see this:
if (isNil "DZE_GodModeBase") then { DZE_GodModeBase = false; }; So this mean, if no option is set from init.sqf, then the default option will be set from the variables.sqf, in this case, to false.
I suggest you go take a look here for options you can add in your init
