Wouldn't it be easier just to add it to the config.cpp in a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo?  :huh:
 
Would be something like this:
 
// ATMs {"Land_Atm_01_F", { 13326.2, 14498.5, 0 }, 0 }, {"Land_Atm_01_F", { 6199.3, 16847.2, 0 }, 0 }, {"Land_Atm_01_F", { 18468.7, 14268.9, 0 }, 0}

Can you make it so it shows xvids in bottom right corner? :D

Do you even lift?

No comment.

This is what happens when you have a small team and refuse to let anyone else help... I also presume, the drive has died off abit too.
 
Awol, get the mod on GitHub and let others help you push the mod further.

Well lets see it... Kiory style.

More maps, more fun. Good work, keep at it!

I certainly wouldn't leave the server I've been on over sounds. Was simply curious to the way some mods worked with this particular game mod.
 
Prone -- Thanks for the omni-presence :D You'll certainly continue seeing me server-side. I'll consider the suggestion thread

If an admin is "abusing", do you stay on the server or do you find someplace where that doesn't happen? I don't know much about Zeus but from what I read, it sounds like it could be really cool.

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 ;)
 

It wouldn't be hard to add additional spawn points, and existing spawn points to have sewer caps that bring you back to the spawn selection area. (I believe this is what you're looking for?)
 
a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo > config > maps > altis.h
 
Look for this section:
telePos[] = { { "Transport_C_EPOCH", { 23600.5, 18009, 0.233421 }, "", { 13326.5, 14515.2, 0.16426 } }, // Trader city 1 { "Transport_W_EPOCH", { 23585.4, 18000.7, 0.233424 }, "", { 6192.46, 16834, 0.00154114 } }, // Trader city 2 { "Transport_E_EPOCH", { 23615.5, 18000.9, 0.233423 }, "", { 18451.9, 14278.1, 0.00143814 } }, // Trader city 3 { "Transport_N_EPOCH", { 23600.5, 17992.7, 0.233423 }, "", { 0, 0, 0 } } // Northern trader };

Probably because modeling for ARMA is a PITA.

I would love a multiplier setting in the epochconfig.hpp file that allows me to control how much maintenance costs. I believe right now it's 1 Krypto per piece.
maintenance_multiplier = 10; //Each piece costs 1, multiply by this value to increase maintenance costs It would give players something to spend their Krypto on right now, and force them to go out and forage for loot to sell to ensure they can pay the upkeep on their bases.

I'll bring my pitchfork, seems like such an easy feature to implement.

Honestly, his post is spot on. Terrain pack alone caused enough headaches and disconnects. Add in another download, and people just don't care or have the know how to install it properly.
 
All of us on the forums here understand what it takes, but randoms do not. It needs to be on steam workshop or bundled with the mod itself ... and that's just the honest truth.
 
We'll get there, eventually..

Nice looking map, shame hardly anyone will download it let alone play it.
 
The only way maps other than Altis and Stratis are going to thrive in Epoch is if they are bundled with Epoch (the easiest way is probably via Steam) or if they are heavily promoted on this site as official maps.

That still requires that all connected users have that pack and load it when they join the server in order for them to see the items.  I wouldn't recommend doing that, but it's up to each server admin to decide.  

Hi Guys,
 
I have been wondering for awhile now if it would be better to detach the BattlEye Filters from the main epochserver package for the following reasons.
 
1) Every time 1 line needs changing we have a new epochserver package to download and install, I know that generally you just need to copy the one file from the package and update just that file however the majority of the community think they have to re apply the whole server update again and this is causing confusion.  I for one have been asked online and offline about 10 times in the last 3-4 days about what needs to be done to update.
 
2) Server owners to save themselves some hassle pick though the BE filters to find out what has changed, Yes we can use the varius diff but would it not be nice just to be able to see the diff's in one place ?  I for one would vote for this
 
3) Quicker reactions to problems/bugs or hacks.  Without having to compile X or Y.
 
4) Automation.  I for one could easily see a way to automate BE filter updates directly from the DEV's and apply my own additions automatically every restart thus moving hassle away from Admins and also giving the players a better experience. 
 
I am sure there are more but these were some of my top list.
 
Q. How could this be done
A. Easily. Version Control AKA GITHUB
To show what I mean I have setup  the following on github as I believe example are always better :-)

If you look at the following page you can start to see how this would work (click on one of the codes like fc16bb9 and 64dc4da)
 
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/commits/master/battleye
 
example

This also shows A nice easy place to see changes
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/tree/master/battleye
 
Nice Release View and easy to download most up to date (easy scripting place)
https://github.com/Dwarfer/a3epochbattleye/releases
 
This shows you what the differences are between the release thus making it easier to apply the updates.
 
For those who are wondering how you would use this as a base to mod your own lines in. Well you can use various tools to append, find, replace and change any number of lines or even a simple merge.
 
I personally am happy to keep this up to date as best I can if people think it would help but ideally it would be great for the DEV's to run as I think it will be more helpful for everyone.
 
I would be happy to write some documents and howto's and even videos on how server admins would/could use this.
 
** I should say that the DEV's will already be doing this anyway within the private github however what would be the harm of just making the BE filters public ?
 
As I side note I also think GSP's would find this very useful for keeping there servers up to date.
 
What do people think ? Does this sound like something that would help the community and or DEV's ? or is this just the ramblings of a Humble Dwarf who has been trying to help other server admins out

P.s.
If the dev's want to to take do the Hub let me know.

Great idea! I see no reason why all the server files couldn't be put on a public Git. Then we can see which files have changed and only update the necessary stuff. Or if there's a major release you can download the whole server pack as a zip.

I agree! Even with winmerge, juggling different new releases and trying to merge them into the same becomes a chore. 

I want a 1 slot server for myself.
