Can i safely add this to other maps then Chernarus?

Yes you can, Richie and BetterDeadThanZed have been so kind to make a set of starting coordinates for all of the below mentioned maps. Simply replace the _heliStart line with one of the following. Your map not included? Ask (nicely) and you'll probably get served.

So, recently I was just browsing trough forums and I read about Headless Clients and I was like phew that would be a nice thing to have man. So I went straight to the Downloads, gave them a few Tests and decided screw this. I've seen "ARMA 2" Headless Clients using event handlers, that are for arma3 - not even sure, if they actually work in arma2 and then it's a mess (no offence thou, but it was very hard to read trough all that). Well, what Solutions did I have? Making my own one and share it with the Community to improve it to an acceptable Standard.
 
The following Video (Sound might be loud) shows an Example of the Headless Client
 
 
So, what's so Special about this...
Well first of all this works on any Map. Also it works with any Loot Table. Also it works without the need of a player. It has it's own "independent Area" where it interacts in. What I mean with that is, that you won't need to rely on any Functions, as everything that is needed is included. All Variables and Functions work outside of the normal "dayz stuff", as only the Headless Client loads it and it won't overwrite anything. Also it comes with a few features available.
 
You can fully customize the spawn Ratio between Zombies spawned on Buildings and in Wilderness, for Example you could have 3x as many Zombies in cities You can fully customize the Loot Tables or integrate your existing ones just by changing a variable You can fully customize which modules to use, like animal spawn, wild zombie spawn, building zombie spawn, loot spawn and custom spawn. You can customize which Animals to Spawn You can make AI Shoot at the Zombies You can shuffle the Loot by setting permaLoot to false, as the server clean up will then clean it up and the hc will just re-spawn it. You can ofc set how many zombies / animals / loot piles should max be spawned  
For a full List, of available Options see the variablesHC.sqf.
 
The Performance
While you have the ability to use all those variables, you can tweak the performance of this. However, the script will only be as good as the code and I'm not perfect. I tried my best to check every tiny bit to make sure nothing ever goes wrong, but there's always that slight possibility. Also I'm not perfect and this is my very first attempt, so if I did something wrong or could've done it better just let me know. Also be carefully, when changing the Script Timers, as a to low value might impact dramatically on your FPS.
 
The Design
This Client is not meant to Tackle the common Problem of a Headless Client joining to early, etc. It is meant to be persistent, reliable and functional. It more a "spawning handler" for various things like the loot. If you want a "perfect" Headless Client this is not the thing you're searching for. This is the Basement of a Script that is living from user Input, user Feedback and user advices. It wants further improving (if possible) and optimizing (if possible). Regardless of the fact, that it is fully Stable you can however do things wrong - I personally have only limited methods to test this Client, while you or other maybe have a large player base that is willing to tackle a new world of Zombies - so.. If you find any Bug or have any more wishes just let me know.
 
The Installation
Please prepare for everything, that you'll need:
An Editor of your choice (OK, this was obvious) Your mission.sqm (Located in your MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_%INSTANCE%.%MAP% Your init.sqf (Located in your MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_%INSTANCE%.%MAP% Your config.cfg (Usually Located in a Folder called "instance_number_mapName") The Headless Client itself (See also: GitHub - Headless Client)  
IF you do NOT have a Headless Client Installed or failed to install it before:
 
IF you do have a Headless Client installed or managed to do so before:
 
The Last Step is simply to create a Folder inside your Mission named "headlessclient" (You can ofc define your own paths) and put all the HC Files into that Folder. Edit the Variables if you want to or just hop right into game and start the massacre!
 
PS: If I was unclear with the Instructions at any point let me know.
 
 
//EDIT:
Just out of interest I forced the HC to join the wrong slot, to see what happens. Apparently it can be in any slot, it doesn't differ ^^
 
 
 
//Edit
Apparently some files on Github got broken during the Upload, they have meanwhile been replaced.

Hey Guys... I made a small trader city on the hill of Altar
(Screens included)
https://mega.nz/#F!rQAmxCzQ!BbcLpJtk5kDFkmcyF88UPQ and i would like to know if you would like to add this to your servers...
Im currently using this as a gem trader...
If anyone like to use it, i will upload both biedi and mission file.
Btw this is my first work so if you have to critisize anything just do it!
 
 
 

A certain unnamed server company is trying to pass this off as their own. 
A lot of work went in the these files by not only myself but to all the creators of the different scripts that are included. After I asked them to not do so they ignored my wishes so now like I said in another post is release time for all.

There are a few things that need added like a hud edit which will be added as soon as I can or if some one else feels free to add to it,

Mods included but not limited to (if i forgot anyone I do apologize)

Description
     The purpose of this script is to scatter gear from player vehicles on the ground when they are destroyed. This script allows you to set many different settings to suit your needs. It runs mostly on the server side other than the config variable so you don't have to repack your PBO every time you want to make a change. You can enable or disable the script from spawning gear on the ground depending on if the vehicle is locked or not. This is a important one as it will prevent many people from going around and blowing up every vehicle they see  ;) You can also state the min and max loot piles that you want to spawn around the vehicle. You can also set the radius that the loot piles will spawn in creating a nice random look (don't judge the video). The file controllable element at your disposal is the ability to set the chance the gear will be destroyed. More detail will be given when we implement the config variable in the init.sqf. Without further ado, let the installation begin! :lol:
 
WARNING: Only use vehicles spawned by the server to test to see if the script is working. Infistar spawned vehicles will not work (However, HIVE spawned might).

Version 1 - initial release
Version 1.1 (Complete) - change code to use the _object_killed funciton(overlooked that one <_<)
 
Appreciate and support my work? 

I would like a group krypto account too.

It would be cool if Epoch and Wasteland could be integrated. It would be cool. just sayin'.

Another little update, cause I feel like I've just been playing Cleudo and finally cracked the case!
Managed to finally get everything 100% serverside :D
I feel so stooooopid, the answer was staring me right in the eyes the whole damn time! XD

I did it by using the Traderdialog to buy or sell custom buildings or structures.

From Axeman:
Dog is currently a little less aggressive, I couldn't get the player damage working. Sounds are local, I guess as not using pubvar (both to be updated)
Features:
Track / Wander - New spawn will track the player, keeping a distance, barking and wandering randomly.
Hide (Not fully tested) - Dogs don't like vehicles.
Look At - Dog will edge towards a crouched player whining (dog cry) randomly.
See / Eat Food - Dog will eat food that it likes if on the floor.
Taming - Once a dog eats food you have tamed it.
Follow - Dog will follow his master (player who tamed it).
Play / Kill Prey - Dog will play with animals (rabbit, chicken, snake currently) it will then kill them and create a weaponholder with the normal outcome from killing an animal. eg. Rabbit = carcass and pelt
Mourn - Dog will sit at the site of it's dead master crying.
Dispose - Dog will be disposed once player is out of range (500m)
Alert - Dog may bark and point towards other players if in the vicinity.
Dog Killer - If you kill a dog you are marked and dogs will always go into attack mode. Small chance of forgiveness and is possible to break the cycle with taming attempts.
Needs work: The weapon holder is invisible unless you are in range and crouching, It is currently just similar to a Ground Weapon Holder so items move with the dog along the floor when you are in range (3m).
Potential for the dog to become a mobile backpack, other players may be able to 'steal' your dog by taming him.

Updated Today:
 
Dog now has 60/40 chance of going straight into attack mode, is he an antagonist or is he your friend ? There are ways to tell and ways to tame, maybe, sometimes :)
Vehicle bug fixed - Dogs still don't like vehicles though.
Dispose range increased - Player can go on loot runs, even in a vehicle, up to 1km before dog will be disposed of.
Dog Killer Updated - Currently removed as we have a chance at spawn for dog to be an antagonist and issues with killing other dogs when you have a friendly dog. Will be re-introduced..
Hunger - Dog hunger level introduced - To be used to ensure dogs loyalty and change behaviour, starve your pouch and he may turn on you (WIP).

This works pretty well......I like it
