Add this to your init.sqf:
// Control the epoch ai limit per player // 1. Epoch_Cloak_F = Cultist // 2. GreatWhite_F = Great White Shark // 3. Epoch_Sapper_F = Regular Sapper // 4. Epoch_SapperB_F = Super Sapper (dark) // 5. I_UAV_01_F = UAV (that spawns the AI) // 6. PHANTOM = Invisible phantom // 7. B_Heli_Transport_01_F = Transport helicopter for the mission system EPOCH_spawnLimits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]; 0 = no chance of an antagonist spawning.

Thanks, just what i needed, more maps to port :lol:
Added to the poll

True, it's just confusing :wacko:

I commented that part out...

This is blckeagls' Real Zombies v0.0.5 found here: 
Disclaimer:  I take no credit for any of this content, nor do I support it.  I've given up on this script, but sharing what went into it to make it work.
 
Changes from the orginal 0.0.5 version posted:
 - Made functional for Epoch.Altis 0.3.0.3 Build 9
 - Consolidates all the client side files into folder under addons/zombie, updated all references to use new location.
 - Fixed the _pos variable in the server side pbo to set z to 0.1 instead of the -10 to -20 it was pulling from the "citycenter"
 - Fixed and turned on additional debug output for spawns (in the pbo, line 25 and 31)
 - Performed exploratory surgery with battleeye filters, and created an Install.txt
 

i would try to change for a spawn type like this  :)

but need reduce distance from player and maybe damage...

I would like to hear which editors you guys use. 
 
I started out with Notepad++ when i started coding for arma related stuff. Mainly because of the SQF highlight syntax of a community member.
 
Later i switched to Sublime Text 2 because it was on the hype train. Better design than Notepad++. SQF syntax highlighting by a community member. ( Sublime 3 is payed, so future doesn't look bright for free edition.)
 
Today i switched to Atom. It looks very promissing. You can download my Arma syntax package in the Settings section. Looks very customisable since it's open code.
 
https://atom.io/
 
For me git integration is really important. And that is where sublime fails for me. Atom is going in good direction with that. So i'm voting for Atom.

Is there someone write a script can for killboard in the Trader Citys,which shows the last kills 

Added to my Dropbox account, if the version changes just PM me and i'll reupload if people want it.

Exellent release, I'm loving adding new buildings to Chernarus, it lacks enterable buildings so it needs this so i can have more loot for players and create PvP hotspots with compounds :)

It works great on chernarus, you only have to change 
_missionPos = [_worldCenterPos,[_centerPos,0,-1,35,0,0.8,0]] call EM_fnc_findMissionPos; to 
_missionPos = [_worldCenterPos,[_centerPos,0,6000,35,0,0.8,0]] call EM_fnc_findMissionPos; (You edit this in the InitMissions.sqf file.)
 
There is another issue tho, some AIs dosen't like to stay inside the mission area and they will randomly walk around the map.

Hi guys !
 
I will finally present you a working AI-Mission System with working AI-Damage to every player which joins the first time.
I´m not the creator of this system, its from my mate KiloSwiss ! All credits goes to KiloSwiss for his amazing power of working at this !!!
 
Have fun to check this out and give response of any bugs ! :)
 
And here it is:

Further instructions will come, i just want to give you this pretty christmas gift first ! :)

So I've spent the last couple of weeks working on creating a base docker image for arma that is as customisable as possible.
 
- ubuntu image
  - mount your /data in here
  - steamcmd image
    - specify your steam username/password here
    - arma3 image
      - uses config files from /data
      - mounts /server as /opt/arma3
      - uses steamcmd to install arma3server into /opt/arma3 (if doesn't exist already)
 
 
I pulled down a copy of the epoch3 server files and here are some suggestions:
 
Critical changes required to work on linux
- all folders and filenames need to be lower case (arma3 server does this because it's the easiest way to enforce common naming pattern that works across platforms)
 
- any references to those files/folders of course need to be updated.
 
- bec/plugins/watchdog/__init__.py:
  - python modules as a rule shouldn't mess with the system path.
  - when writing out paths, use path.join() (let python decide the appropriate path separator)
  - use sets rather than lists (they're faster)
  - don't use print, it mucks with stdout and stderr, use logger so it can be configured to transport into syslog by project integrator
  - 
  
- please tell me you're going to be hosting this on github soon
 

Calling it now, I'm keen to get the ball rolling on making EpochArma3 available as docker images for all the linux guys out there.
 
When done, Linux server operators can use something like Shipyard to orchestrate the speedy creation of new EpochArma3 instances.

Essentially it'll come down to this for installing on a fresh linux installed with docker: 
$ docker run -T --name myworld-data epoch/epoch-arma3-data --ports $ docker run -T --name myworld --volumes-from=myworld-data epoch/epoch-arma3 or with fig
$ wget docker.epoch.com/files/fig/epoch-arma3.yml $ fig build $ fig up bam, new self contained server instance installed and running. 
 
Value Created
 
All the things you love about virtual machines without all the overhead.
 
Evidence
It seems to be possible, this server status report indicates an arma3 server running in docker.
 
 
@vbawol, hit me up if if you're interested. 

Any questions?

Well, after spending 3 days on my AI missions, i'm done.
 
The hardest part was working around the cleanup Epoch has.
 
Now to test them out :)

We don't have access to the loot tables yet.  They're locked down in the server.pbo which is secured with a CRC check.  If you edit it, the mod won't run.  Have patience.  Once we pass a certain point in development they will open things up more.  

Basebuilding
 
-As much as I like the new system I think a building system like in arma 2 was working much better not relying on gravity. It's really hard to make everything looks clean and tied together in a neat way as you go higher and if you hit a static world object the base building gets really buggy with parts flying over in the air and most likely killing you a few times in the process of building your base. Somehow if you could find a way to make snap-building ignore other static objects but the one snapped to it you could then make tight buildings structures again.
 
-Please bring back the workbench that you could upgrade. 1st level wood structure using only (2 lumbers), 2nd level (2 scrap metal), 3rd level (???). This way you could start with basic wood structures and then upgrade to a more complex crafting system.
 
-Add more gathering stuff to build. For instance, there could be rock walls that you have to mine at the quarry or on rock formations using the sledgehammer to build stone walls. Mud huts that you could build using a scythe to cut reeds and a shovel to gather mud or heavy sand. Scythe and shovels could then be used as melee weapons.
 
-This one was said before but wood upgrades on the wood divisions is a must especially for lone survivors. Relying on scrap metals to build the base walls or cinder walls is almost abusive unless you run with a group of 10+ people. Metals floors is also a must.
 
Survivalism 
 
-Fishing rods and the ability to fish on a sports boat or on the piers.
 
-More wild animals spawning in the wild.
 
-Ability to gather certain types of food that could be then transformed using stoves, fireplaces or the lunchbox.
 
-Ability to boil water to bring down toxicity
 
-Ability to gather water from more locations such as the grey containers.
 
Vehicles
 
-Add more beat down vehicles this is a post apocalyptic world after all. Mad Max is getting released soon so it's a good timing to get inspired by that movie. Shinny cars looks weird in the type of atmosphere this is supposed to be. This doesn't mean to put a rust texture on everything...
 
-I really miss the Cessna to do recon missions or just chill around the world in a plane.
 
-Mountain bikes, Harley Davidsons type of bike, Dune bogey's, utility vehicles, military Humvee's or 4x4 vehicles with more off-road capacities but less speed on main roads, etc.
 
Creatures
 
-More feral animals or mutant monster less unrealistic stuff like the rock god or the cultist with no body? Don't get me wrong here but I think some of these are way too much fantasy and they kind of break the immersion after a few encounters.
 
-Incidentally, there could be bears, pack of wolves, mountain lions, or strange human survivalist ai nut jobs that lived in the wild for far too long.
 
-Dynamic ai missions, this will probably be made by the community but as there is way more servers now with the release of 0.25 these can be great fun for lower pop servers.
 
Weapons
 
-Remove the explosives devices to be readily available but make them craft able with the addition of a weapon bench.
 
-More shitty weapons like shotguns, a compound bow or melee weapons such as a police baton or a katana.
 
-If you can port more Arma 2 weapons like the HK weapons 416 and 417, Mk's, New Ak's, Pdw, etc. that would be awesome.
 
Server side
 
-Ability to remove the revive option.
 
-Ability to add more view distance up to 2000 meters.
 
-Ability to have classic traders mode at the spawns with gear in them and god mode zone.
 
-Ability to resupply the traders
 
-Ability to build custom traders
 
-Ability to turn on or off the building restrictions this for either the big cities, military areas or roads textures.
 
Forums
 
-Add a A3 Resource forum with scripting subforums to help clean up the general discussion and other section and have specific section to help server owners and scripters.

What does changing the line to 7 do? I know changing a 5 to a 1 disables kicks. I would prefer to add exceptions rather than disabling anticheat lines or alter the way they act as a blanket action on a particular line.
