  2. Returning player. This as good as arma 2 epoch was ?

    in Discussion

    Posted

    Good point lol! 

    Well we all loved the vehicles and the mechanics behind them. The building aspect was "fun" too. I ran a server with AI bandits, events and a trade zone that added a lot to it. Blood bags we ran too.

    Basically we played it til some update broke the scripts I was running... 

    The common stuff like food, water, and zombies are always required. 

    What we really didn't like was the pain in the ass of installing it. I remember that being a little frustrating.  

    I don't mind low pop servers. So that wouldn't bother us. 

     

    Thoughts?

  7. Returning to Epoch

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Lets start with something simple.. Id like to install DZAI. Ive done this before, so I should be able to do it again... I think...

     

    SI I folled http://opendayz.net/threads/dzai-visual-installation-guide.18447/ the best I could.. Really cant go wrong. Though I use Arma PBO View instead of what ever it is this guide uses.

     

    So I follow the steps just fine, Then I get to

     

     

    "Return to the PBO Manager GUI"

     

     

    Whats this?!

     

    Then Step 8 when im copying my DZAI file into my server pbo I dont have the missions or modules folders like they are shown.

     

    Someone, anyone, please haaalp!

     

    Thanks

     

    The game locks up at authentication.

     I havent had the chance to test it but Its on my list today since Im remodeling, but Ive read to blow it up or run it down with a vehcile you dont mind losing.

     

    Im the Admin so im planning on spawning in a tank to do max damage with least effort. But ill try other options before hand to see what people with less options could do.

     

    be a few hours before I get back to you though.

  10. 4 types of Side Missions (Events)

    in A2: Epoch Events (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    Ok so Here is what I have done so far. I have yet to see an event so I guess im doing it wrong. But anyways.

     

    as far as http://dayzepoch.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1026-server-side-hintglobalchat-fix-deathmsg-fix/ goes..

     

    I changed

    if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");

     to

     

    if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
    _nil = [] execVM "custom\remote_messages.sqf";
    };

     

    Notice I removed the .... line between the dayz_loading screen and _nil = [] exec.

     

    Was this right?

     

    Then I made a new folder called custom , made an sqf labled remote_messages.sqf and tossed 100% of the dropbox info into that sqf. then put the sqf in the custom folder.

     

    With me so far?

     

    THENNNN

     

    I went to my server pbo, compile folder, server_player died sqf , removed

     

    if(DZE_DeathMsgGlobal) then {
       [nil, nil, rspawn, [_killer, _message], { (_this select 0) globalChat (_this select 1) }] call RE;
    };

     

    and put

     

    if(DZE_DeathMsgGlobal) then {
       customRemoteMessage = ['globalChat', _message, _killer];
       publicVariable "customRemoteMessage";
    };
     

    in its place.

     

    Coffee break?? Next was to download all 4 files (treasure, military, construction and supply)

     

    I took these 4 files and put them directly into my server pbo, modules folder. Didn’t touch the scripts in any of these.

     

    Lastly I went into my into my Mission PBO, opened my init.sqf , found EpochEvents = [, and tossed the listed

     

     ["any","any","any","any",10,"Military"], ["any","any","any","any",25,"Treasure"], ["any","any","any","any",40,"Supplyitems"], ["any","any","any","any",55,"Construction"],

     

    In, so it now looks like ..

     

    EpochEvents = [

    ["any","any","any","any",0,"sidemissions"],["any","any","any","any",15,"sidemissions"],["any","any","any","any",30,"sidemissions"],["any","any","any","any",45,"sidemissions"],["any","any","any","any",30,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",0,"crash_spawner"],["any","any","any","any",20,"supply_drop"],["any","any","any","any",15,"supply_drop"],["any","any","any","any",10,"Military"],["any","any","any","any",25,"Treasure"],["any","any","any","any",40,"Supplyitems"],["any","any","any","any",55,"Construction"]];

     

    .

     

    I did not disable the hints as the OP continued, is that needed.

     

    Did I do this right, and just haven’t happen to see an event?  Or am I just a big dumby still?

     

    Thanks for any help I can get!!!

    Posted

    At work (not doing work) and found this thread. Really want to leave work now and give this a go! lol

     

    There any installation instructions I need to keep in mind when I start this? Im still pretty new at this whole thing but its to cool not to continue learning about.

  21. Epoch Traders Help please?

    in Server Install

    Posted

    So Im not using Navicat since my one glance at it made it seem like I had to fork over some cash.

     

    Ive seen 

     

     UPDATE `Traders_DATA` SET qty=20 WHERE `item` LIKE '%ItemVault%' AND qty=0; 

     

     a ton. And Ive seen people say to add this...

     

    Im still just getting my feet wet with this whole thing. Where do I add it again? Also This is something ill have to do daily? unless I set up the event Im reading about. Where could I add that event script ? Sorry like I said, still very new to this, getting the hang of it... slowly.

     

    Thanks

  22. DZAI loot table question+

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    I started my own server after my last server implemented halo jumps on log in causing multiple "splats". On that server they were running DZAI, and I thought it was a lot of fun!

    Tonight I installed DZAI, and dug around to find how to change a few simple things. What I couldn't find, that my last server had was where to add gold/silver to the bandits loot. I thought I found it, but didn't know how to define the currency.

    Also. Getting notified of an ambush with the radio is amazing. The other server had direction and distance, seems DZAI only comes with distance. Any one have a little info on how I may add direction?

    Any info on either of these would be great ! Links or detailed directions. I'm still new to this whole thing, but starting to take baby steps.

    Thanks!!!!!!!

  24. DZAI Lite Dynamic bandit npc's

    in A2: Epoch Mods (1.0.5.1)

    Posted

    Just came off a server that Ran some AI script I LOVED. Now that Im starting my own server Im trying to find it, they wont tell me of course lol. Is this what Im looking for it I want the radios to tell me when bandits are preparing for an ambush? I see I gain humanity with kills so thats important to me. Also important is my ability to adjust the amount of AI over all.

     

    Did I find my new home for AI?

     

    Quick Edit :

     

     

    Link is empty?
