  3. [Release] - A Plot for life v2.5. Keep your buildables on death. Take plot ownership

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    Asking people to compare your files with theirs and make changes is not logical or productive for people who already have custom changes in those files. You need to make a list of the changes YOU made specifically, or how are we supposed to know which NEW lines are yours or which were there prior to our existing customisations. I compared your updateGUI with mine and I don't see anything in there which relates to your plot for life, so why is that in the archives?

    The way you've asked people to install your scripts is messy and will lead to more issues than if you'd just written a step by step "Change ths in this file" , "Add this to this line" .. etc.. for each file you reference. 62 pages of issues and counting! i'd use this script but i cant afford the time and potential server downtime due to debugging .. 

    A proper step by step for the noobs maybe :p The only reason I can see for you not wanting to do this is because you've lost track of your changes and wouldn't know where to start yourself :)

  4. Owned Vehicles not saving position to Database after GodMode

    in Scripting

    Posted

    I'm trying to get all locked vehicles set to GodMode at restart only . Then once unlocked they're vulnerable until server restart again..

    in my server functions file I have this code: 

    God_Protect = {
private ["_tID","_x_type","_count"];        
{        
    _x_type = typeOf _x;
    _tID = parseNumber (_x getVariable ["CharacterID","0"]);
    if ((_tID != 0) && ((_x_type isKindOf "Air") || (_x_type isKindOf "LandVehicle") || (_x_type isKindOf "Ship"))) then {
        _x removeAllEventHandlers "handleDamage";
        _x addEventHandler ["handleDamage", {false}];
        _x enableSimulation false;
        _x allowDamage false;
        sleep 0.1;
        };
    } forEach vehicles;

};

     

     

    Then in my server_monitor.sqf file right at the bottom I have:

    [] spawn God_Protect;

    The vehicles are protected on restart, but they're not saving to the database when moved. If I remove this code, then they start saving to the database again..

     

    Any ideas? I'm sure it's something noob that I've messed up! 

  7. Max Vehicle Count and New Vehicle Spawn question.

    in Scripting

    Posted

    When the server starts and does the max vehicle count and spawning new vehicles accordingly. Does anyone know how to set this so that it only counts vehicles with ID of 0 (not owned with key). I'd like the server to always spawn a new Humvee for example, even if the maximum number of Humvees exist on the map as player owned (with key) vehicles.

    Hope that made sense to someone :p

     

  11. New Server Help

    in Server Install

    Posted

    No matter who I've used, there's always been issues.

    At the end of the day server location is key in my opinion. If you're based in the UK, get a London based server for example. 

    You can pay $30 for 30 slot server and have exactly the same if not worse issues than a $18 50 slot server. Paying more doesn't always mean you'll get better service.

    Getting players on  your server takes months (it's taken me over a month to get 4 regulars this time round), you can start by posting your server details on Reddit and possibly donating for a top-spot listing on DayZ Launcher, then post your server details on the official dayz forums. But the results are very hit and miss. 90% of your visitors will find something to complain about and then quit.. Not enough AI.. Not enough scripts.. Too many AI.. Too many scripts. etc.. etc.. Don't give in, build your server how you like to play it and be tough with your players, tell them you aren't installing/removing x-script .. Eventually you'll have a bunch of regulars who stay because they like your style of gameplay... You can't please them all, don't even try! 

    One last tip. Don't be breaking stuff while you have people playing on your server. Wait until the late hours when nobody is going to be on to start with script additions etc. Try to add something other servers don't have. On mine I've got a Zombie Slayer achievement system, where you get bonus humanity per zombie kill based on your current zombie kill count (the higher the count, the more humanity per zed kill). You also get bonus humanity for long distance 90, 200 and 300+ shots. The player has to discover most of this and it's not easy to get slayer levels ;) ... I also have a Level 1 to 5 Hero/Bandit badge system, see the screenshot for an example.  The higher your level, the more stuff opens up to you, like a VIP Clubhouse, cheaper gear, etc.. 

    Well, there you go. I can talk for England, but I'll stop now and let you catch up :p

    Good luck with your college studies and good luck with your new server. Paying more is not always better ;)

  15. [HELP] New random vehicle spawns causing error

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Edit: Our vehicle list only allows for 1 of each vehicle to spawn in the wild. I noticed that 2 of each for most of them , even though before the restart there were non. Strange!

    I've only just noticed this today after deleting all the old unused empty vehicles off my server. When it restarted my logs got spammed with this:

    Can you post your functions.sqf file... 

     

  23. [Release] Advanced Trading 2.1 !UPDATED!

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    If you turn off "taking money from backpack and vehicles" , it doesn't dupe.. You get the item you purchased, it takes the right money from your inventory, but you get a debug message saying something went wrong with the transaction (obviously it didn't because the item was purchased and the money was taken)...

    No duping with those two options turned off, which works for me :D
