[Deconstruct Buildables]

Try this:

CREATE TRIGGER update_owner
AFTER INSERT ON character_data
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    UPDATE object_data SET CharacterID = NEW.CharacterID WHERE CharacterID IN
           (SELECT CharacterID FROM character_data WHERE PlayerUID = NEW.PlayerUID);
END;

Haven't tested it though.

[Key Recovery Dialogue for Vehicles]

private ["_owner_id", "_key_colors", "_index", "_key_number", "_item"];
 
_owner_id = cursorTarget getVariable ["CharacterID","0"];
 
if (_ownerID != 0) then {
_key_colors = ["Green", "Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Black"]
_index = floor (_owner_id / 2500)
_key_number = _owner_id - _index * 2500

_item = format["ItemKey%1%2", _key_colors select _index, _key_number];
[player, _item, 1] call BIS_fnc_invAdd;
};

I think that should work.

Maxpackets at 2048? Too high imo, try 512m

 

Wouldn't that cause a lot of overhead?

Why not just leave it at 1400?

[Has anyone tried to implement a purely craft/harvest-based economy?]

Loot spawning / Dynamic vehicle spawning are two entirely different things, so i don't see how that would be possible.

The way described in my last post should work though.

[Has anyone tried to implement a purely craft/harvest-based economy?]

From that forum post:

To implement this in a way that saves resources within the game the mechanic could be set to run daily, where a nightly job calculates all possesion and then updates the loot tables. The loot table files are held on the hive and when the server updates or restarts it queries these numbers and sets them accordingly. This will save resources and ensure that possesion numbers are close enough to the desired numbers. The alternative would be querring the tables each time loot is generated and that would create to much lag.

 

So fetch all character_data/object_data/traders_data from DB, calculate the total amount of every item in circulation, and update the loot tables accordingly.

I'd say thats minor tinkering with the loot tables ^^

with a few limitations

[Combolock Brute Force Fix]

You can try this:

[] spawn { player setUnconscious true; sleep 5; player setUnconscious false; };

Doesn't make you unconscious, but you can't access the action menu / gear menu.

[Combolock Brute Force Fix]

This closes the menu after every attempt.

 

You need to copy

dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf
dayz_code\compile\player_unlockDoor.sqf

to your mission.pbo

 

init.sqf

 

- call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions

+ call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "path\to\compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions

 

compiles.sqf

- player_unlockDoor = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_unlockDoor.sqf";

+ player_unlockDoor = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "path\to\player_unlockDoor.sqf";

 

 

player_unlockDoor.sqf

 

} else {

        DZE_Lock_Door = "";

        [player,"combo_locked",0,false] call dayz_zombieSpeak;

Yea my bad, i thought they'd have a windows version by now, but thats still in alpha...

[EpochEvents Supply Drop]

Uncomment this line in supply_drop.sqf

//diag_log(format["CRASHSPAWNER: Spawning '%1' with loot table '%2' NOW! (%3) at: %4", _crashName, _lootTable, time, str(_position)]);

 

Then check your RPT log.

[Deconstruct Buildables]

With this you can remove every new modular buildable, except lockable doors, if you are the owner. Unfortunately, right now the ID stored as OwnerID in the database is the CharacterID. Which means after you die you can't remove any buildables that you build before you died. (You could probably write a mysql trigger that updates the characterID once you respawn.)

 

Lockable doors can be removed by everyone if they are unlocked, because the OwnerID is used to store the combination for the door.

 

I haven't really tested this thoroughly, so use at your own risk ;)

Add the following code under

As far as i know you can't, or you'd have to add it yourself.

Below // DayZ Epoch config

In your init.sqf -> DZE_BuildingLimit = xxx;

 

I think its not there by default, so you'll have to add it yourself.
