Wait, with the original setup they attack each other again... They did in the early days but not for months for me...
We need to talk :)

Otherwise the missions are working like a charm on the server, fantastic addon you've made here...been lovin' it for a while.   If I'm helping by reporting what's happening on our server on the latest update... great...but honestly my first 'goto' was thinking I had a syntax error of some kind or some other missing component.  I've started with a fresh, default setting again...RPT isn't logging any odd errors.  Showing VEMFr kicking off DynamicLocationInvasions for given locations like it should.
Wonder if anyone else is seeing or having the same results.  If not, then it's all on me. =)
Again, thanks for the awesome addon IT07!

Missions working great!  Fun but tough.  Have players asking if we can have them outside of towns or open areas on Altis.  Left default Global settings alone which shows "nonPopulated=1", but missions are only spawning in cities/towns.  Went ahead and added same setting to 'class DynamicLocationInvasion' in config override preserving entire tree structure, to see if that would enable them, no luck.
 
Ideas on what I might be missing?
 

We have built into Epoch a way to do this, you simply specify the preferred locations in this class: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server_settings/configs/maps/tanoa.h#L486
This is the script/tool to make these positions via the editor: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Tools/SQF/saveVehiclesWhitelistPos.sqf

For example this is the config for Altis:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server_settings/configs/maps/altis.h#L307-L319
 
Also, if someone has already made settings for Tanoa, please share by making a pull request:
Start here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/edit/experimental/Sources/epoch_server_settings/configs/maps/tanoa.h Choose "Fork this repository and propose changes" Make your proposed changes add a description of the changes and click "Propose file change".

This is awesome, thanks for your work! 
Question:  I'm trying to disable the helicopter AI patrols with the missions by adding the override in the a3_vemf_reloaded_config by changing the value to 0 in the 'class heliPatrol' setting.  I've copied the class name plus brackets, changed 'enabled =0' but helipatrols are still spawning. 
Any ideas?
 
TIA
 

Ahaaa...yep...that's it!   Thanks.
 
 

UPDATE! (v0751.3)
Check the CHANGELOG.md for details

I've noticed the fog line is more prevalent now that you've mentioned it.  Using same view distance I've used forever, now the haze seems closer, cannot see much past 1km.

The changes are generally tracked by github, you can see here the files that changed here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/commit/d3d845bca605e79c8a011e8aa2fbf199f7fda508

You only can not build jammer without workbench, for workbench you do not need a jammer as long as there is only one workbench in 225-275 meter radius (not sure about correct distance but it seems around this number).
Maybe someone already built workbench in a vicinity? Seems odd, as I always carry workbench in my backpack just in case I need to quickly store some loot when far away from base.

I will be adding a ammo management option to help with repacking mags. I will also add a config var for this so it will simply act like it did before.

Epoch imo is very different than Exile.  If all you want is pvp, quick and easy loot...Exile might be your cup o tea.  Frankly, Epoch is just more interesting and fun.  The build system has come a long way...the looting system is well done with great models...and has built in antagonists that add to the depth of the mod.
The developers are quick to add fixes and implement new features to Epoch that seem well recieved.  I noticed a slight shift in players going to Exile when it initially came out...something new I presume.  But over the last month or so I've seen a growing number of Epoch players on our server as well as an increase in returning regulars players
 
Really, the only two things I liked about Exile is the default halo spawn in and random bicycles...thats about it.
Epoch FTW...my 002.

That workaround He-man posted should work but is also adding another endless loop to the scheduler. Ideally it should be event driven, and to do that properly we need to get BI to extend the InventoryOpened event handler to also return other connected containers. Please Vote this up: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=23192

But in the mean time I will figure something out as I would prefer not to use the old method that was using setpos as it was often very slow for detecting cursorTarget changes. 
The Epoch AH already has a temp workaround that checks for nearby locked supplies however its not working well so here is another take on it. This solution is mostly event driven but does have to use spawn and waituntil so its not perfect. This is sort of a hybrid from what has been shared by He-man in this thread. 
New security_checks.h line:
InventoryOpened = "_this spawn EPOCH_initUI;_container = _this select 1;_lockedNear = false;if (_container isKindOf 'GroundWeaponHolder') then {{if (locked _x in [2, 3] ||_x getVariable['EPOCH_Locked', false]) exitWith {_lockedNear = true}} forEach (player nearSupplies 10);};if (locked _container in [2, 3] || _container getVariable['EPOCH_Locked', false] || _lockedNear) then {[] spawn {disableSerialization;waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 602};_display = findDisplay 602;_ctrl_cargo = _display displayCtrl 6401;_ctrl_ground = _display displayCtrl 6321;_ctrl_cargo ctrlEnable  false;ctrlSetFocus _ctrl_ground;ctrlActivate _ctrl_ground;};};"; I have also updated the server settings pbo found here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/f196d8461fd014820499b224b7157bc3a929cb12/Server_Install_Pack/@epochhive/addons/a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo?raw=true
The idea here is to use event handlers as we have before and simply detect if access to a container should be blocked. If so, we force the player to the ground inventory tab and disable the cargo tab. 
Please give this a test and report back, Thanks!

Fam first man. 

Seems like they are weightless, so Arma 3 made them into "28 days later" type of zombies :D

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

Just had it happen again on our server, and love it!  Like running with the bulls!

Just had this happen today on our server and it was both unnerving and awesome.  I agree with Kpabatok, bout shat myself...just heard a bunch of footsteps, then looked behind me and like OH $H!t...what the actual...?  Was like a mad herd of sappers.  Love it.
To the devs, this mod just keeps getting better and better.  Nice work!

I'm wondering the same thing.  Can no longer move a base object, like a wall, floor or the jammer...have to destroy it instead.

Removed base object "Move" in 3d option in favor of a more refined "ghost" snap mode. I really liked this thing, was very useful when you want to place jammer, shelf or lockbox just in right angle, you could move the item as long as the timer was ticking, so you didn't need to start from scratch everytime you do something wrong (and removing shelf gives you only 2 metals).
I haven't tested yet this "ghost" snap mode refined thingy, but fact is, that now when you press build a jammer and place it, the timer is ticking and you no longer can move it and place somewhere else etc. It wouldn't be much of an issue if "END" function worked correctly, which brings things closer to you. Because now it is just moves back away as soon as you release END button, which is very annoying bug to me in 0.3 patch.
 

They'll be fine. Have just had a look at the cultist AI, bit of brain surgery. Try looting in the same skin as a fresh spawn, should see more. Have put an update in that should help. Next update am afraid though.

UPDATE: We had a pretty major performance issue pop up with the 100 player Chernarus server yesterday, A fix is in testing now, first signs show that we may have increased performance from the previous version.
