Notable Changes (TLDR):
CUP Weapons and Vehicle mod support added. Server will detect the mods and enable separate loot tables and vehicle spawn tables automatically. CBA mod compatibility added. License change for epoch sandbox survival gamemode to open source APL-SA  Full gamemode and configs now in mission file. Starting with the release of 0.3.8* everyone can make use of the work found here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch to build your own gamemode and scripts as long as you provide credits, share sources (GitHub, etc.) and keep the same license (APL-SA). The Epoch name or logos may not be used without permission and your work should not appear to be officially endorsed by the Epoch Mod Team. 
While the grander goal for Epoch mod still exists, the involvement of the team has been limited due to lack of time and the fact is to make anything worth while takes time. This is a small point of frustration for me as we are basically only able to do this as a hobby and while I would like to say that the Team could rally our efforts and work 40 hours a week to get to 1.0 faster that is quite simply not possible currently.
The plan is to get the community more involved in further refining the Epoch survival gamemode so that we can then focus on the long term goal of taking Epoch Mod to 1.0 by adding additional new custom vehicles, weapons and an American themed map and much more.

Please note: Release is scheduled for this Thursday (January, 28th) however this maybe subject to change based on the stability of the current experimental build.
*ADDED-WIP means more work is still needed.

Voted up!
But for now it is a usefull temp fix.
The thanks goes to dennis_stk for this idea!

By changing it to 1, the glitching-bug will stay!
4m is correct, but the shelf must be in cursortarget to become access!

Enable simulation. To fix the bug with the glitch that you can look inside when its locked use this here in client init.
[] spawn {
    disableSerialization;
    while { true } do {
        waitUntil { !isNull findDisplay 602 };
        _open = 0;
        _near = 0;
        {
            _near = _near + 1;
            if !(_x getVariable ['EPOCH_Locked', true]) then {
                _open = _open + 1;
            };
        } forEach (nearestObjects[player,['Safe_EPOCH','Lockbox_EPOCH'],4]);
        if (_near > 0 && _open == 0) then {
            ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6401) ctrlSetPosition [-9999 * safeZoneW,-9999 * SafeZoneH,0,0];
            ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6401) ctrlCommit 0;
            ctrlSetFocus ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6321);
            ctrlActivate ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6321);
        };
        waitUntil { isNull findDisplay 602 };            
    };
};

Works great, but Shelfes / Workbenches next to locked Safes / Lockboxes can't be accessed.
For that, you can modify it as follow:
[] spawn {
    disableSerialization;
    while {true} do {
        waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 602};
        if (cursortarget iskindof "WeaponHolderSimulated" || cursortarget iskindof "GroundWeaponHolder" || isnull cursortarget) then {
            _open = 0;
            _near = 0;
            { 
                _near = _near + 1;
                if !(_x getVariable ['EPOCH_Locked', true]) then { 
                    _open = _open + 1;
                }; 
            } forEach (nearestObjects[player,['Safe_EPOCH','Lockbox_EPOCH'],4]);
            if (_near > 0 && _open == 0) then {
                ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6401) ctrlSetPosition [-9999 * safeZoneW,-9999 * SafeZoneH,0,0];
                ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6401) ctrlCommit 0;
                ctrlSetFocus ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6321);
                ctrlActivate ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6321);
            };
        };
        waitUntil {isNull findDisplay 602};
    };
};
 

Enable simulation. To fix the bug with the glitch that you can look inside when its locked use this here in client init.
[] spawn {
    disableSerialization;
    while { true } do {
        waitUntil { !isNull findDisplay 602 };
        _open = 0;
        _near = 0;
        {
            _near = _near + 1;
            if !(_x getVariable ['EPOCH_Locked', true]) then {
                _open = _open + 1;
            };
        } forEach (nearestObjects[player,['Safe_EPOCH','Lockbox_EPOCH'],4]);
        if (_near > 0 && _open == 0) then {
            ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6401) ctrlSetPosition [-9999 * safeZoneW,-9999 * SafeZoneH,0,0];

            ctrlActivate ((findDisplay 602) displayCtrl 6321);
        };
        waitUntil { isNull findDisplay 602 };            
    };
};

Seriously????

This update is more of a general maintenance update as most of my time spent on this patch has been working out issues since the Arma 1.54 update. While still not perfect nor complete I feel what has been done so far does help balance the A3 stamina systems for use with Epoch.
Next patch in another few weeks will be adding more content, fixes and continue to refine on our features as we push towards 0.4+.
0.3.6 Update is released.
As always you can report any bugs or feedback you may have on the forum or on the github.

I will be working to further refine the base building systems in each patch and will look into this hopefully for the next update. 

Noticed that also. That would be Raymich too. But don't think that would be a top priority. One way to not see it is to just NOT DIE!! ;)

There is a hotfix on RC Branch. I testet it on my Testserver and its working fine with:

ONLY ON RC Branch.
player enableFatigue false;
player enableStamina false;
player allowSprint true;

Same, +1 to keep em, they're a challenge

I like the fast Sappers. :D

BI said about a week ago it would be another 2-3 weeks if I am not mistaken. Either way with the family down for Thanksgiving I have not had the time to test 1.54 with Epoch the way I normally do. 
ATM everything is back to normal for the most part so I will be able to spend some time this week fixing bugs so we can address these issues and or report them to BI.

Yep, already had players saying WTF?  Sappers are full on sprinting!

Ahh, I just seen what you mean. Don't know why I was thinking fatigue.

I am working on a fix guys, for testing I have this temp fix available here update your server settings pbo with this : https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/85a25613549e50c9cee37f817c3ebbbca7eeb96f/Server_Install_Pack/@epochhive/addons/a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo?raw=true
Commit: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/commit/85a25613549e50c9cee37f817c3ebbbca7eeb96f
This will currently prevent groundweaponholder access within 5m of a locked vehicle or storage device for non Admins and those that use our AH. Ideally the InventoryOpened handler should be expanded to return both containers so we can move towards preventing the cargo option without a bunch of workarounds. Also note: Since 0.3.5 safes and lockboxes now persist the locked/unlocked states.

You could add an eventhandler for "ContainerOpened" to the safe/lockbox and have that check if it is really unlocked or not.
Maybe it is enough to add someting like
player action ['Gear', player];

to the inventoryOpened evenhandler, as players will be forced into the "ground" tab

Could be because of that nearby weaponholder... hmm

xD Little rage?

You will these problems with every mod. I am hosting much more than 1 Arma 3 Server and its all the same with every mod. Arma 3 is an 32 bit application thats the problem. So make the best you can. My Arma 3 Epoch Server is working fine and we are one of the last big german Server.  ;)
 

Solar Generator / Energy capacity system:
Solar Generator base item can be crafted from items found in the world. When placed gives passive power within (75m Default). Energy capacity system controls how much power is available based on the type of energy source and number of players in area. Personal solar generators have 10 charge rate at day and reduced charge capacity of 5 at night. Wind towers and large solar farms have 100 charge rate. Each player will equally share the energy charge capacity up to the max charge rate of 5 per tick. More solar generators can be built to increase total charge capacity for larger groups. Wood Towers
Can be crafted using a Wood Floor Kit and 4x lumber. First test of the new building upgrade system gives you the ability to use 2x lumber to add a windowed wall to the side you are standing. Walls can be removed and refund one lumber pack. Wood Walls / Upgrade in Place
New upgrade in place options and 4 new plywood walls Building upgrade system now supports multiple options and has new basic UI. Wood Ladder
Can be crafted from 4x lumber. Base Building
Removed base object "Move" in 3d option in favor of a more refined "ghost" snap mode. Can now disable base building by pressing Esc or 'gear' menu. Angle of snapping was incorrect when building on angles. Can now press '2' to disable building snap mode and 1 to re-enable. Normalized snap memory points for wood tower and stairs should make snapping more accurate Issue that caused shifting of some base objects after restart. Only maintain damaged objects and object health is repaired on maintain. Looting
New loot/crafting items: (Solar Panels, Wire Cables, Battery Box). Air Drop loot has been Increased. Pumpkin harvesting on Chernarus should work, "Trash" loot now has separate configs. Antagonists
Cultist's make a triumfant return, as cultist spawning is now fixed. Vehicles
Fixed JetSki sinking like a rock.  
Technical
[Changed] Moved client gamemode and CfgFunctions init to mission file. [Changed] Base building upgrade recipes and remove payouts now have dedicated config "CfgBaseBuilding" and code supports over-loading via description.ext.

[Fixed] Loot object "Blue Tarp" weaponholder proxy position was in the wrong position. [Fixed] Reduce base hunger/thirst loss rate by half if players stamina is above 100. Base rate now can be changed with "baseHTLoss" variable in CfgEpochClient. [Info] Requres Arma 3 1.50 or higher. [ServerInfo] CfgEpochClient removed from description.ext as it can be simply added again from our configs as needed. [ServerInfo] Removed old .bikey and added new one for 0330. 
Server Admins see files that have changed here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/commit/24bcfafe60e0ea043700cf82a2e0b2f6d96e1bbd
 

We dont need a performance build. We need a working build. :P

We are downgrade to 1.46 and 0.3.0.3 and its working fine. I think its better to wait till the bugs are fixed. For german Players and i think english Player will understand it too i make two Videos "How to downgrade".

There have many bugfixes since the initial release of the 0.3.x client files and we will have more fixes to come soon. A Client side hotfix build will likely be released in about 2 weeks to roll up any client side fixes.   Now for the best part, A small taste of what you can expect from future major milestone updates (0.4,0.5,...): Advanced crafting with total UI overhaul fully extensible and customizable. [Released] Refined P2P and NPC trade systems. More Custom Base building objects and base building refinements. More server and user configurable options. [Released] Documentation on backend DLL calls and usage. [Released] More antagonists and AI refinements. CRC check and server file obfuscation removed. [Released] Custom Vehicles, Weapons, Uniforms and apparel. Custom map based in America. Linux server support. [Released] Bugfixes and much more.
