This may be useful for anyone running an Overpoch server, I've updated the weapons array to include the Overwatch handguns.

I agree, and that's why, it seems to me, that the innovation around DayZ and what makes it fun has been done in opposition to what Dean Hall has wanted. He may have some kind of militaristic fantasy mind that sees everything as a chance to fail at survival, but there's a fertile ground to what makes a game fun and what challenges existing conventions.
I think a lot of games nowadays are trash, particularly console games, which are carbon copies of Call Of Duty, or focus heavily on brainless action. Games have been led by the hand about how to play games, and I think DayZ has become successful because it flies in the face of that cookie-cutter attitude towards game design. That said, the stuff Dean Hall wants, with even some deliberation on defecation within the game (I mean, seriously..) is just to relive some fantasy about military survival, and to drag everyone else along for the agonising and un-fun experience.
Dean should leave now and let talented designers get the idea right. Epoch added minimal things to make DayZ fun, and it still maintains the minimalism. And, what's more, Epoch shows clearly that by adding more guns to the game, you surprisingly make it more civilised. In the Standalone, it's a desperate shit-pit where everyone does things that are just counter-productive and un-fun. Nobody wants to re-gear up 7 times in a night. Nobody wants to have stand-offs every 20 minutes as you just look to get a leg up in the game.
Hi, I thought it would only attach movable entities to the elevator, but with the Epoch objects your never know.. anyway you can modify this simple loop if you like:
{ _x attachTo [_elevator]; _attachments set [count _attachments, _x]; } forEach (_elevator nearEntities ELE_Size);
the nearEntities function has an optional parameter for the type names (see doc here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearEntities )
{ _x attachTo [_elevator]; _attachments set [count _attachments, _x]; } forEach (_elevator nearEntities [["Man", "Car"], ELE_Size]);
that example will only attach objects of type "Man" and "Car", so players (possibly also NPC like zombies not sure they might be agents and not "Man") and ground vehicles.. you can play around with some values if that helps.
Just finished it and thought someone could like it...
You have many, many (many, ...) Vehicles?
You have many, many (many, ...) different Keys?
Already need to attach a list with Key = Vehicle to your Monitor to keep track of em?
Need 30 minutes to start driving because you dont have such a list?
Frustrated?
ALL OVER!
This little script allows you and the Players on your Server to copy Vehicles, that you got the Key for, to another Key that's in your Inventory!
Example:
Car 1: Red Skoda - Red Key (1234)
Car 2: Green Skoda - Green Key (4321)
You need a Keymakers Kit!
Put both keys in your Inventory, look at the Car 1 and select "Change Vehicle Key" from the action menu.
You get a list with all Keys in your Inventory, to select from a menu. In this case the list would just be one: Green Key (4321)
Not in the list is the Key for Car 1, so no Red Key (1234)
Select the new Key you want to put the car on and: voila!
You can throw away the unneeded Red Key (1234)
The Old vehicle Key gets added to your Backpack
Car 1 & Car 2 are both now on the Green Key (4321)
You can allow players to "Claim" Vehicles that are dynamic spawned on the Map and does not yet need a Key.
This is a option you can turn On/Off!
You can set a price for claiming vehicles also.
THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER INCLUDE MISSIONVEHICLES THAT ARE NOT SPAWNED CORRECTLY! IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO CLAIM MISSIONVEHICLES, TELL THE MISSION DEVELOPER TO SETUP HIS SPAWNCODE FOR VEHICLES TO A CORRECT WAY!
Changelog 1.4
I changed some functions and implemented some small fixes mentioned by other users in this Thread.
Specially for just bought vehicles and the "get not saved after driving" thing.
This should also fix the duping for some of you, i never had it yet and cant reproduce. just made the call a bit different now.
If it doesnt work as it should, gimme a shout.
And for people that think this Mod is a total mess. Dont use it?
It works on my Server for a loooooooooooooong time now without any errors!

5. repbo MPMissions\YOURMISSIONNAME\
- upload it to your server -
7 copy server_updateObject.sqf from your unziped VehicleKeyChanger_v1.4.zip to @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\compile\ and overwrite the existing one. (This just adds a function for this mod nothing else changed)
If you already have a custom server_updateObjects.sqf you need to compare my file with yours and make the changes yourself!
8. repbo @DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\
- upload it to your server -
9 copy this file to your Servers BattlEye filters folder: publicvariableval.txt
FYI: INFISTAR AdminCheat, ummm sorry meant AntiCheat, users! Cause he uses his own BE filter files should not copy paste this file over your existing one, else you will get kicked for all the cool nice admin functions that comes with your Infistar! You need to do the change yourself if you get kicked for anything regarding this script. I dont had and will not have a look at Infistar's BE files to sort things out!
10. Restart your server 11. Enjoy it and cleanup your vaults!
12. DONT LOOSE YOUR MASTERKEY! :rolleyes:

If you ever wanted to have your own Evac-Chopper you can place anywhere you want, that picks you up where and when you want.
This is the Mod you would like to have!
This Mod allows you to make a Evac-Chopper Field next to your Base or another place you like and use it with any Chopper on it as a Evac-Chopper.
If you start fresh all you need is a Chopper with a Key, which you should have in your Inventory, and for the Evac-Field marking a full Briefcase as payment.
This will make a Evac-Chopper field under your Chopper.
If this Chopper gets destroyed or stolen or just lost, no problem just place any other Chopper you like on it and it will act as your Evac-Chopper!
The "Call Evac-Chopper" action menu entry is just shown if you have a Evac-Chopper field, it checks on activation for:
Chopper is on the field
Enough fuel
Damage status
The Evac-Chopper locks itself on start so no passenger can hop in.
It will stay locked when reaching the Evac-Zone until the player who called it gets close to the Evac-Chopper.
This way no thief could get it before the player is in it.
If the player dies, before or after the Evac-Chopper has reached the Evac-Zone, the Evac-Chopper will be reset to Evac-Field!
JAEM 1.4 changelog:
"evac_AllowedChoppers = ["x","y","z"]"
A new configuration entry is in the EvacChopper_init.sqf
With that configuration entry you can decide which Choppers are allowed as Evac-Choppers!
With many thanks to ebayn0.0b for the Chopper-List in his post, the default config should now implement all available Choppers from Arma2 and Epoch.
I'm really not sure and never tested it if you can use the MV-22 aka Osprey as a Evac-Chopper i just leaved it in the list.
"BE Filters"
Again thanks to ebayn0.0b for solving that, never got very familiar with these BE filters anyway ^^
Changed the files as you suggested!
"Join lag"
The lag was due to the fact that every player had to search for all Evac-Chopper-Fields on Server themself.
To support all kinda Maps, also the hughe ones like Sauerland, i had to put in a very high number to the "nearestObjects" call, that caused the join lag
I decided to put the Evac-Chopper-Fields in a Array now.
A function in the scripts send a PublicVariableServer call to the server to add/rem a field from that array and send that array again via publicVariable to all players.
On Serverstart the Array gets filled with all available Evac-Chopper-Fields on Server and is then send via publicVariable to connecting players.
This should remove the join lag!
"PlayerUID with Characters"
A new check is implemented for these Players with the Arma2 anniversary edition.
Like RimBlock wrote me in a PM these Players have characters in their PlayerUID and cause the Database entry just hold numeric it doesnt worked good for them.
I tooked the function from RimBlock his "A Plot for life v1.1" and implemented it in the JAEM scripts so that should not be a problem anymore
As i took this function from RimBlock his scripts i gave Credits to him here! Dont know who wrote it first if it not was RimBlock himself! "Cant call after Die / Call is always available even if no Evac-Field / and other cal/set/clear related errors"
Clear Evac-Chopper so Field gets delted - CHECK
Set new Evac-Chopper so old field gets deleted - CHECK
Call-Evac-Chopper on login - CHECK
Call-Evac-Chopper on relog - CHECK
Call-Evac-Chopper after die - CHECK
Sorry that the update took such a long time now but this mod was now completely running on my Headless-Client and the port to a working Missionfile system was not that easy!
1. Download JAEM_v1.4.zip and extract it
2. unpbo MPMissions\YOURMISSIONNAME.pbo
3. copy the custom folder from the extracted JAEM_v1.4.zip to MPMissions\YOURMISSIONNAME\
4. Edit MPMissions\YOURMISSIONNAME\init.sqf
Find this block:
if (!isDedicated) then {
0 fadeSound 0;
waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
};
And insert this line above the closing bracket };
_nil = [] execVM "custom\JAEM\EvacChopper_init.sqf";
If you dont have already a custom variables.sqf do step 4a) else do step 4b)
4a)
Find this line:
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_code\init\variables.sqf";
and ADD BELOW
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\JAEM\variables.sqf";
4b)
Copy this line to the very bottom of your custom variables.sqf
dayz_allowedObjects = dayz_allowedObjects + ["HeliHRescue"];
Whoever says that this line not works, i do it like this for almost a year now on my Server!
5.
Copy these 3 files from the downloaded JAEM_v1.4 to your Servers BattlEye filters folder:

- Config notes -
If you set evac_needRadio to 1 and you dont have Radios in your respawn loadout, this breaks the call Evac-Chopper for respawners!
If you set evac_zoneMarker to 1 the Smoke in the evac-zone will not last until the Chopper arrives if the distance is very far!
In "evac_AllowedChoppers" the LAST entry in the list DOES NOT HAVE A COMMA ON THE END!
