I am so sorry, now it works great and thank you, He-man :-)

Weird...
You have changed this?
 
BRPVP_processZombieHit = compileFinal ' params ["_uTarget","_damage"]; _hits = getAllHitPointsDamage _uTarget select 2; _uTarget setdamage ((damage _uTarget) + _damage); {_uTarget setHitIndex [_forEachIndex,_x + _damage,true];} forEach _hits; '; THis should not change anything in the behavior. Or are there any errors in rpt?

For the damage:
Epoch Debug only check "damage Player".
In this scripts, you do "sethitindex" for all hits, but do not change the overall damage.
That is the reason, why the damage is not displayed.
If I have checked it correctly, you can change:
{_uTarget setHitIndex [_forEachIndex,_x + _damage,true];} forEach (getAllHitPointsDamage _uTarget select 2); to
_hits = getAllHitPointsDamage _uTarget select 2; _uTarget setdamage ((damage _uTarget) + _damage); {_uTarget setHitIndex [_forEachIndex,_x + _damage,true];} forEach _hits;  

Hello Donnovan,
noticed, that admin menu owners in epochAH.hpp can't see zombie map icons. How to fix it?
And like Cubitron wrote, fix for damage Epoch system would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Small changes I have done,
and now it is for me as I want.
If anybody want try..
In brpvp_zombies_loop.sqf
Replace:
_proneFactor = if (_stance == "CROUCH") then {0.5} else {1};
_proneFactor = _proneFactor min (if (_stance == "PRONE") then {-0.15} else {1});
With:
_proneFactor = if ((_stance == "CROUCH") && (speed player < 13)) then {-0.2} else {1};
_proneFactor = _proneFactor min (if (_stance == "PRONE") then {-0.4} else {1});
These changes with BRPVP_zombieFactorLimit = 35; giving this result:
Increase spawning (running straighten up, walking straighten up, running CROUCH mode) - One red zombie icon in 8 seconds.
Decrease spawning (walking CROUCH mode) - One green zombie icon in 28 seconds.
Decrease spawning (PRONE mode) - One green zombie icon in 14 seconds.

Okay folks, I have made some changes (will update the first post with them) based on suggestions and good video reports from @Kenobi- Cheers mate!
First, a small change to the take clothes code in CfgActionMenu_target.hpp so that the option to take clothes will not be provided when looking at dead things with no uniforms, like the vanilla Epoch adversaries like sappers, cloakers and zombies and the Ryan's Zombies zombies (which are not the same):
// Take Clothes class take_clothes { condition = "((!alive dyna_cursorTarget) && ((dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierWB') || (dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierEB') || (dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierGB')))"; action = "[dyna_cursorTarget, player] call TakeClothes;"; icon = "x\addons\a3_epoch_code\Data\UI\buttons\group_requests_ca.paa"; tooltip = "Take Clothes"; }; The definition of the base classes for west, east and guer soldiers should catch most AI wearing uniforms from any mod. That definitely is the case for CUP.
Changed the custom/TakeClothes.sqf script to set a variable on the corpse so a uniform can only be changed once, even if you subsequently take the uniform off them (thanks @Ghostrider-GRG) and present a message to the player if they attempt to take it again:
/* Author: Grahame Description: Take and wear any clothes from a dead player or AI Licence: Arma Public License Share Alike (APL-SA) - https://www.bistudio.com/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike */ private ["_target","_player","_target_uniform","_player_uniform","_target_carried_items","_player_carried_items","_clothes_taken"]; _target = _this select 0; _player = _this select 1; _target_carried_items = []; _player_carried_items = []; _items_to_add = []; _clothes_taken = _target getvariable ["CLOTHESTAKEN", "false"]; if (_clothes_taken != "true") then { _target setvariable ["CLOTHESTAKEN", "true", true]; _target_uniform = uniform _target; _player_uniform = uniform _player; _target_carried_items = uniformItems _target; _player_carried_items = uniformItems _player; _items_to_add = _player_carried_items + _target_carried_items; _target forceAddUniform _player_uniform; _player forceAddUniform _target_uniform; { _player addItem _x; } foreach _items_to_add; } else { ["Clothes have already been taken from this body", 5] call Epoch_message; }; As a result of that change you will also need to add !"CLOTHESTAKEN" to your setvariable.txt BattlEye filter.
Please let me know if you find any other issues.

Steps to reproduce copy issue ;-)
 

My friend told me this issue, I tryed reproduce this on my test server but negative. I ask him for video, so maybe later I can post some stuff :-)

ARMA3 Take Clothes Script
As some of you are aware, one of my pet peeves with ARMA3 is that Bohemia added detachable uniforms but then made it so you could not wear all of them by siding each. Thus, in Epoch, if you are female, you can wear female and NATO uniforms, but not CSAT or AAF. Males have a similar issue being bared from wearing NATO or AAF. While some mods like Tryk's unlock all their uniforms, unfortunately many do not (including CUP). Here is my work-in-progress solution to the problem that allows you to take and wear any uniform that a dead adversary is wearing.
Installation
UPDATE: 2/27/2018 @ 1916EST: Updated the code and installation instructions based on feedback from the community.
UPDATE: 3/21/2018 @ 0943EST: Updated the code based on feedback from the community and a rewrite by He-Man.
Create a file in your favourite text editor called TakeClothes.sqf with the following code:
/* Author: Grahame/He-Man Description: Take and wear any clothes from a dead player or AI Licence: Arma Public License Share Alike (APL-SA) - https://www.bistudio.com/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike */ private ["_target_uniform","_player_uniform"]; params ["_target","_player"]; _nearentities = (((_player nearEntities 7) select {isplayer _x && alive _x && !(_x iskindof "HeadlessClient_F")}) - [_player]); if !(_nearentities isequalto []) exitwith { ["Cannot take clothes when other players are nearby",5] call epoch_message; }; if (uniform _target isequalto "") exitwith { ["Target has no uniform to take",5] call epoch_message; }; _playerloadout = getunitloadout _player; _targetloadout = getunitloadout _target; _player_uniform = _playerloadout param [3,""]; _target_uniform = _targetloadout param [3,""]; _playerloadout set [3,_target_uniform]; _targetloadout set [3,_player_uniform]; _player setunitloadout _playerloadout; _target setunitloadout _targetloadout; Put that file in your mission, for example as custom/TakeClothes.sqf.
Add the following lines to your mission's init.sqf:
if(hasInterface) then{ TakeClothes = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\TakeClothes.sqf"; }; In your mission file, edit the epoch_config/Configs/CfgActionMenu/CfgActionMenu_target.hpp, adding the following lines to the end:
// Take Clothes class take_clothes { condition = "((!alive dyna_cursorTarget) && ((dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierWB') || (dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierEB') || (dyna_cursorTarget isKindOf 'SoldierGB')))"; action = "[dyna_cursorTarget, player] call TakeClothes;"; icon = "x\addons\a3_epoch_code\Data\UI\buttons\group_requests_ca.paa"; tooltip = "Take Clothes"; }; Rebuild the mission file and upload to the server.
Voila! You can now look at any dead player or AI and take and wear their uniform no matter what it is! 
Acknowledgements
Though no code was needed from the DayZ/ARMA2/Epoch Take Clothes script, it is the reason I have always been so bugged about not being able to wear uniforms from dead adversaries. Yeah, I'm a bit of a bandit that way for sure 
Anyway, cheers guys:
 

ARMA3 DayZ Mission System (DZMS)
This is a purely derivative port of the DayZ Mission System to ARMA3/Epoch. I have added functionality where appropriate (equipping uniforms for example) and stripped and replaced ARMA2 or DayZ/Epoch specific code in this implementation.
The DayZ Mission System is a very good, lightweight and modular mission system.
Credits
There are a lot of people who have contributed to DZMS on A2/DayZ/Epoch. Please check the links below for many of them. Personally they all have my thanks for providing a solid mission system that has been a lot of fun to play in the years I've spent on DayZ/Epoch:
Download
Download from GitHub at:
https://github.com/morgoth0/A3E-DZMS
Installation Instructions
If using Vanilla ARMA3/Epoch, and you just want to just try it out simply download and upload the DZMS.pbo in the @EpochHive folder into the @EpochHive/addons folder on your server.
The source files, including the three config files are located in the DZMS folder on GitHub
Coming soon
All the missions included within the latest version of DZMS 1.1 uploaded by @JasonTM will be implemented using CUP Terrains Core for use on maps and servers that support it. A module to support Static weapons at missions More diverse and varied loot tables for custom crates A port of the DZMS Hotspots code for roadblocks and other such interesting things The ability to run multiple major, minor and hotspot missions Better configuration instructions and a mission file design tutorial

Thats a main point all around my idea. The condition must be done for speed and coincidently for crouch mode. Runing in crouch mode with shift pressed give almost full max speed. If condition will be for crouch mode + speed max 12-13, then movement will be what i have on my mind. Player will moving silently and zombies will not spawns. I think everybody will want moving fast, everybody will want to kill zombies :-) But if player will want play silent assassin role, zombies will sleep deep under grass. Maybe I will have to forget about this feature. For me it is hard to explain in english this stuff. Google translator helping me every day. I hope you understand what i have on my mind. In all case, this script is very good and i want to add this one to my server. Thank you again.

Thank you. I found epoch CfgRemoteExec in:
mpmissions\epoch.Altis\epoch_config\Configs\CfgRemoteExec.hpp
Solved issues 4 and 5 that I mentioned.

Error
 

UPDATE: I got some time before heading off for meetings and tested the below "solution". Can confirm that admin's viewdistance is now limited as a player's is... Other admin tools seem to be fine too. If others can also test then I will work on adding a variable to epochAH.hpp, the reading of same in server_securityfunctions.sqf and then wrap the added lines in an if based on that variable. Hopefully the devs will accept that back and people will not have to maintain custom code each release...
Would inserting the following:
[] spawn { disableSerialization; waitUntil{!isNull (findDisplay 46)}; setViewDistance "+str _skn_viewDistance+"; setObjectViewDistance["+str _skn_viewDistanceObects+", 100]; setTerrainGrid "+str _skn_terrainGrid+"; }; before line 1271 which reads:
uiNamespace setVariable['ESP_mainMap', findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51]; in server_securityfunctions.sqf do the trick. Might have time to test this evening. Basically though, the admins have a separate code path for AH initialization than non-admins as shown in the following code:
531 EPOCH_server_pushPlayer = compileFinal (" params ['_playerNetID','_playerUID','_C_SET','_fsmHandle','_player']; if (_playerUID in "+ str _skn_adminUIDArray+") then { _playerNetID publicVariableClient '"+_skn_Admin_Code+"'; _playerNetID publicVariableClient '"+_skn_pv_adminLog+"'; _playerNetID publicVariableClient '"+_skn_pv_hackerLog+"'; _C_SET pushBack '[] spawn "+_skn_Admin_Init+"'; } else { _C_SET pushBack '[] spawn "+_skn_AH_Init+"'; }; [_fsmHandle,['_C_SET', _C_SET]] remoteExecCall ['setFSMVariable', _player]; true "); So basically the _skn_code_antihack function that includes the viewdistance settings for normal players is replaced by _skn_admincode for admins and the proposal above runs the viewdistance related code in the admin function too...

SERVER RESTART, FIREWALL RULES and MONITORING
Restart batch files are an important way to get everything up and running properly.
I have built over the years a nice startup that will handle most hosts needs.
Once the server is started, we can rely on Epoch's built in shutdown timer.
Thus using a monitor will allow for a smooth restart every time and within a few minutes of shutting down.
Firewall rules can be very easy or it can feel very difficult and frustrating.
Its always safe to just open up the Firewall Rules in Windows and just add your new rules.
After a few years I choose to use a firewall toggle within my restart batch files.

Example files(Edit to your needs):
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/experimental/Server_Install_Pack/restartserver_x64-example.bat
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/experimental/Server_Install_Pack/servermonitor-example.bat

 
LOOT AND VEHICLES CONFIG
By default Epoch will perform as intended with the base Epoch and A3 assets.
If you would like to use a mod Epoch has setup already for compatiblity
These configs are here: 
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/%40epochhive/epochconfig.hpp#L96-L97
For example if you would like to add CUP weapons and vehicles to your server use this:
forcedVehicleSpawnTable = "allowedVehiclesList_CUP"; forcedLootSpawnTable = "CfgLootTable_CUP";
If you are using another mod/addon with assets for these categories you can customize the lists in these files here:

Vehicles default array:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server_settings/config.cpp#L100

Loot default array:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server_settings/configs/CfgLootTable.h
Other Loot default array: <- includes everything else Epoch allows you to loot, ie animals, ambient objects, missions, etc
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server_settings/configs/CfgMainTable.h

PORTS
    
A lot of people have confusion on ports, there should not be any at all.
ARMA 3 for this example GAME PORT is 2302
Query Port which is for server lists, gametracker, battlemetrics, etc
BE Port which was recently added is dedicated to battleye traffic and will help ease the load on our other ports.
RCON Port this is setup by you and can be several different choices.

Game Port: 2302 (Your Choice)
Query Port: 2303 (A3 Default is Game Port+1)
BE Port: 2306 (A3 Default is Game Port +4)
RCON Port: 2307 (suggested Game Port +5)

EDITS

 and

REDIS DATABASE
Redis database needs to be running for the server to start up properly.
I recommend a relaxed importance on restarting this redis instance.
I restart redis about once every week or two.

Server Installation
[NOV2020] Thank you @PAL-18 for the DM with a link to your newly updated info for Arma 3 Dedicated Server Setup Under FireDaemon Pro
https://kb.firedaemon.com/support/solutions/articles/4000086687

[DEC2017] Instructions below
Difficulty Level: Medium
Time to invest: Depends upon knowledge of Arma 3 but should be a few hours with 20/20/20 breaks
** 20/20/20: Every 20 minutes, get up and focus on something 20 ft away for at least 20 seconds
1. Download Arma 3 Server files by going into Steam -> LIBRARY -> TOOLS
 This will download to your Steam Library folder. (most likely in program files -> steam -> steamapps -> common)   OPTIONALLY you can install SteamCMD and download arma 3 server from there Create a folder for SteamCMD (e.g. C:\Servers\SteamCMD) Create a folder for your Server (e.g. C:\Servers\EpochServer) Download SteamCMD: http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd.zip Paste the SteamCMD.exe into your created SteamCMD folder Create an empty file "Update_Arma.bat" in your SteamCMD folder Open this file with notepad(++) and paste this code into this file: @echo off @rem http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd.zip SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION :: DEFINE the following variables where applicable to your install SET STEAMLOGIN=mylogin mypassword SET A3serverBRANCH=233780 -beta :: For stable use 233780 -beta :: For Dev use 233780 -beta development :: Note, the missing qotation marks, these need to be wrapped around the entire "+app_data......" :: There is no DEV branch data yet for Arma 3 Dedicated Server package !!! SET A3serverPath=C:\Servers\EpochServer\ SET STEAMPATH=C:\Servers\SteamCMD\ :: _________________________________________________________ echo. echo You are about to update ArmA 3 server echo Dir: %A3serverPath% echo Branch: %A3serverBRANCH% echo. echo Key "ENTER" to proceed pause %STEAMPATH%\steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMLOGIN% +force_install_dir %A3serverPath% +"app_update %A3serverBRANCH%" validate +quit echo . echo Your ArmA 3 server is now up to date echo key "ENTER" to exit pause  
Enter your Steam Login and optional your Server / Steam path (folder) Save this file and run it to install / update your Arma3 Server 2. Setup a new folder on your drive (Skip this when using steamCMD)
If only hosting a single server, simply "EpochServer" is fine If needing to install multiple server, you can alternately name this "EpochServers" and make a subfolder "EpochMapName" for the server     * FOR THE REST OF THIS SETUP WE WILL REFER TO THE SERVER FOLDER AS "EpochServer"


3. Move your Arma 3 Server files over to your new folder to start building your Epoch Server (Skip this when using steamCMD)
Copy and Pasting these files will work just fine
4. Copy the Client Files to your Server
Copy your @Epoch folder to the "EpochServer" By default it should be located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Epoch" Optionally you can download these files also from http://epochmod.com -> Downloads -> Client
5. Copy the Server Files to your Server
Download the Server files from here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch Click on the green button "Clone or download" and download the Zip file Unzip the downloaded file and go into the Server_Install_Pack folder Copy the contents of the Server_Install_Pack into your "EpochServer" main root
6. Setup your preferences of your epoch server
     A. Location:  "EpochServer"\sc\server.cfg
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/sc/server-example.cfg Rename server-example.cfg to server.cfg and configure it setup your server name, passwords, mission file name (optional: difficulty and other config entries)      B. Location: "EpochServer"\@epochHive\epochAH.hpp
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/%40epochhive/epochah.hpp#L2 turn on/off the antihack-admin panel      C. Location: "EpochServer"\@epochHive\epochConfig.hpp
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/@epochhive/epochconfig.hpp Server settings for restarts, time and other important settings      D. Location: "EpochServer"\@epochHive\epochServer.ini 
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/%40epochhive/EpochServer.ini Very Important: Battleye RCON and Database port/password settings (See next post for more)
7. Setup your database config
    Location: "EpochServer"\DB\redis.conf
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Server_Install_Pack/DB/redis.conf port and password change here
8. Setup your preferences of your epoch server
    Location: "EpochServer"\sc\battleye\beserver.cfg or beserver_x64.cfg
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/experimental/Server_Install_Pack/sc/battleye/example-beserver_x64.cfg Which depends on what x86/x64 server executable you are running. Should be self explanatory which is needed when? right? If not, x86 means 32bit and x64 means 64bit
9. These below are part of epoch_server_settings.pbo.  The links provided are to the source files on github for example purposes.

    Location: "EpochServer"\@epochHive\epoch_server_settings.pbo\

Based on this Status Bar, I made a complete rewrite. (without a difference between PlayerBar / AdminBar, because it is not needed for us).
- Completely removed external config file
- Only 1 File for all
- Config section on the top of the Script-File
- Blinking Icons, if in a dangerous value
- Easy changeable Status Bar Content
- Toggleable between 3 Statusbar sizes (right shift key / configurable)
- 0-No Status Bar
- 1 Full Status Bar
- 2 Half Status Bar
- 3 Small Status Bar
 
I made it only for our Server.
But I want to share it now, if someone also want it.
