@gernika LOL

@Bricktop the "PVDZE_plr_SetDate" in the script seems   been changed in the 1.6 publicEH.sqf by
"dayzSetDate" addPublicVariableEventHandler { _newdate = _this select 1; _date = +(date); // [year, month, day, hour, minute]. //diag_log ['Date & time received:', _newdate, 'Local date on this client:', _date]; { if (_x != _newdate select _forEachIndex) exitWith { setDate _newdate; //diag_log ['Date has been reset. Local date on this client:', date]; }; } forEach _date; };  

@kingpapawawa maybe this old post can help you.
And the corresponding SQL script is:
 
Source:
 

i guess the errors become from the "sleep" command , S4M is working now to fix it. the way that scripts its executed not allow the sleep command.

added the id into the main post steps. TNKS!!!

download folder was updated with all fix mentioned by @Schalldampfer and @Grahame    04/12/17

dedicate to me? ohh tnks hahaah

Hi Epoch community,
Have you ever wanted a way for players to be able to see your server rules while in-game?
Are you tired of repeating yourself with simple answers to simple questions?
Looking for a different way to deploy items or call certain scripts?
Our community uses mostly scripts from this awesome epoch community. Its our time to give back :)
I've decided to make a release version of my GUI for everyone to use.
https://github.com/theduke77/Custom-Menu
In the video, i have my community colors in the GUI, the release version I tried to match the zupa colors.
Video
I've received tremendous help from SHIX. Most of the credit goes to him for explaining to me how to do this.
also, I've used the code he provided as a template and built this from that.
He kindly allowed me to share with all of you
Ok, now for the fun part.
This is NOT for someone new to the world of epoch server management. (probly because of my instructions lol)
This is NOT a plug-n-play addon. You must configure all the files and customize the menu
I would strongly suggest you have a test server to be able to test it as you create new pages.
Try one page to make sure it looks good, then go from there.
If you want to change the colors of stuff, check out the options section before creating pages.
I will do my best to explain to the best of my knowledge.
I'm far from being a coder lol
Tools required
Notepad ++
PBO Tool
patience...with my instructions ;)
TextView (optional)

How to create new pages
OPTIONAL
Known issues
Many thanks to SHIX. Without him explaining this GUI stuff to me I wouldn't of made it lol
Thanks to Kill Zone kids blogs, they are amazing to learn from.
Thanks casual_jeff for the 1061 fix
Hope you guys enjoy it.
I will support this to the best of my knowledge :)
 
Added keyboard.sqf for less confusion.  Thanks @RC_Robio
Also added instructions on how to change button to open the menu
Now with a github link also. Thanks @salival
 

try:
1-dowload files from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Hx4yLjmp8cbEdNV1ZCSWJUeUU/view?usp=sharing
2- paste the 4 files in dowload folder into \@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\
3-open your server_functions.sqf (located in \@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\init\ )
at very bottom add:
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\battlefieldselector.sqf"; 4-now open the battlefieldselector.sqf
5-repack your dayz_Server.pbo

or just execute it as event, and change whatever do you want inside
 

@karl1872
MAKE CUSTOM TRADERS ITEMS/PRICES   (add weapons)
original post:
 
About vehicles:
open: \@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\dayz_server\system\dynamic_vehicle.sqf
you will see a large list with all vehicles allowed. see lines in blue at the end as example to how add one vehicle
get vehicles ids from here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2_OA:_Vehicles           https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Vehicles
now you need add this vehicle in one of your trader menu.
so open \MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\custom\CfgServerTrader\Category\FriendlyUtilityVehicles.hpp
find.:
class UAZ_Unarmed_UN_EP1 { type = "trade_any_vehicle"; buy[] = {8,"ItemGoldBar"}; sell[] = {4,"ItemGoldBar"}; }; below add:
class M1A1_US_DES_EP1 { type = "trade_any_vehicle"; buy[] = {8,"ItemGoldBar"}; sell[] = {4,"ItemGoldBar"}; };  

i guess @Cherdenko @Hooty and @me,,  we agree that its you who must post it.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! TNKS YOU GUYS FOR THE UPDATE!! works great

@DieTanx or you can use the @BigEgg variable to restrict near of defined areas all objects included the fuel pumps
RestrictedBuildingZones = [ ["Balota Airfield", [5158.72, 2518.75, 0], 600], ["stary", [6325.6772,7807.7412, 0], 600], ["bash", [4063.4226,11664.19, 0], 600], ["klen", [11447.472,11364.504, 0], 600], ["bandit", [1606.6443,7803.5156, 0], 600], ["hero", [12944.227,12766.889, 0], 600], ["whole", [4361.4937,2259.9526, 0], 600], ["air", [12060,12640, 0], 600] ];  

the donnovan old post. (1.0.5.1).
 

reading the script sounds like an addons spawns.. and thers a crate with loot.
also thers 4 diferents battlefields,, and one function to select one..(i guess)  like an epoch event but a lil more complex.

I tried to follow these instructions, but it is really unclear what exactly to do. Can not get it to run.
Can someone give Step by Step instructions just like for the other scripts. Basic instalation just to get it working.
 

@Bricktop i guess you can execute it with
-in your server_functions.sqf at very bottom paste
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\battlefieldselector.sqf"; and into the battlefieldselector.sqf
execVM format ["pram here\pram here\%1.sqf",_rand]; enter your paths.
its something like:
private ["_randomNumbers"]; _randomNumbers = floor(random 100); if (_randomNumbers <= 20) then { call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\BATTLE_F1.sqf"; }; if (_randomNumbers <= 40 && _randomNumbers > 21) then { call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\BATTLE_F1.sqf"; }; if (_randomNumbers <= 100 && _randomNumbers > 41) then { call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\BATTLE_F2.sqf"; };

mmm if i understand you well.. you can try it
_rand_player = playableUnits call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;//choose a random player and about the safezone,, i remember some time ago i give you a code in one of your posts to check the safezones, you can use it. so its looks:
private ["DEFINE ALL VARIABLES HERE","",""]; _safezones = [[6325,7807,0],[4063,11664,0],[11447,11364,0],[1606,7803,0],[12944,12766,0],[4361.4937,2259.9526,0], [12060,12640,0]]; _safezonesRad = 150; _inSafezone = false; _rand_player = playableUnits call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;//choose a random player _playerName = name _rand_player; /////////////CHECK IF THE RAND PLAYER IS IN A SAFEZONE {if (_rand_player distance _x < _safezonesRad) then { _inSafezone = true; }; } forEach _safezones; if((isPlayer _rand_player) && !_inSafezone ) then { [nil,nil,rTitleText,format["%1 is the rand_player",_playerName], "PLAIN",10] call RE; //your code here }else{ [nil,nil,rTitleText,format["%1 cannot be the rand_player cuz he´s in a safezone",_playerName], "PLAIN",10] call RE; //what happend if the rand player is in safezones. };  

tnks duke! if u wanna add something please do it :)

A very basic guide to make your own script:
 
Feel free to complete this guide :)
1-IN CASE U NEED ADD ONE ITEMS REQUIRED (only one)
2-IN CASE U NEED ADD A ITEMS REQUIRED (more than one)
 
 
*Now into the same script you will need check if this player have the item variable so:
if (_hasitem) then { }; so the script can be:
*Now at very top its time to define the private variables for this script so:
private = ["name of variable","name of variable"];
private = ["_hasitem"]; So at this time the script looks like:
2-REMOVING ITEMS
Here you will see how to remove more than 1 item: (   remember for remove only one item you can use player removeMagazine "FoodchickenCooked";  )
item requiered:
_hasitem = [["cinder_wall_kit",2], ["ItemWoodFloor",3]] call player_checkItems;
to remove this items use:
_remove = [["cinder_wall_kit",2],["ItemWoodFloor",3]] call player_removeItems; So now the whole script looks:
Thers other way to say "you dont have the item required" see:
if (!_hasitem) exitWith {cutText [format["You will need 2xcinder_wall_kit and 3xItemWoodFloor"], "PLAIN DOWN"];}; ***Note: the ! before the variable means  NOT   . So here the code say:  if player Dont Have (_hasitem) exitWith {};
so now the script looks:
3-ADD A TIME RESTRICTION TO USE THE SCRIPT AGAIN
Now whats about if u wanna put a time restriction to execute the script?
well heres the structure:
if(_Time < _LastUsedTime) exitWith { cutText [format["wait %1 seconds !",(round(_Time - _LastUsedTime))], "PLAIN DOWN"]; }; But you need define what means _Time & _LastUsedTime variables  and need put where start to count.  So:
_LastUsedTime = 1200;//time in seconds before use again the script
_Time = time - lastuse; //"lastuse" is where you start to count and is equal to time so you need to put it immediately after the _hasitem variable is checked as fine...
 
see:
if (_hasitem) then { lastuse = time; }; Well now the whole script looks:
4-USING RANDOMS
Now you wanna put a random events into the script. You can use two ways:
First:
_randomCases = round(random(2)); switch (_randomCases) do { case 0 :{ //what happend here? }; case 1 :{ //what happend here? }; }; Or the other way:
_randomNumbers = floor(random 100);//you can use any other number 100,200,50 if (_randomNumbers <= 30) then { //if randomNumbers is less or equal to 30 then //what happend here? }; if (_randomNumbers <= 100 && _randomNumbers > 31) then { //if randomNumbers is into 31 to 100 then //what happend here? }; So for the first example the whole script looks:
And for the second example looks:
5-ADD A TOOL REQUIRED
_inventory = items player; _hastools = "ItemToolbox" in _inventory; if !(_hastools) exitWith { cutText [format["Must be equiped with 1x toolbox in your toolbet."], "PLAIN DOWN"];}; if (_hastools) then { }; So now the script looks:
6-Allow The script only if player is an hero
Now you want procced with the script only if player is an hero.. so:
_PlayerHumanity = (player getVariable"humanity"); if (_PlayerHumanity < 5000) exitWith { cutText [format["Need be a hero"], "PLAIN DOWN"];}; if (_PlayerHumanity > 5000) then { }; So the whole script now is:
7-ADD A COIN COST
Whats about if u wanna put a coins cost to execute it?
_costs = 200; if !([ player,_costs] call SC_fnc_removeCoins) then { titleText [format["Needs %1 %2.",_costs,CurrencyName] , "PLAIN DOWN", 1]; } else { titleText [format["Pay %1 %2 for this",_costs,CurrencyName] , "PLAIN DOWN", 1]; }; So now script looks:
8-Nearest Required
Now a nearest required from an objet or AI.
_playerPos = getPosATL player; _nearestRestriction = count nearestObjects [_playerPos, ["TK_CIV_Woman01_EP1"], 4] > 0; //TK_CIV_Woman01_EP1 is an AI id if (_nearestRestriction) then { }; you can use it  to execute scripts only into plot area...
for example:
_playerPos = getPosATL player; _nearestRestriction = count nearestObjects [_playerPos, ["Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ"], 30] > 0; if (_nearestRestriction) then { }; or to restrict if is present
for example if is a plot pole in the area you cant execute the script
_playerPos = getPosATL player; _nearestRestriction = count nearestObjects [_playerPos, ["Plastic_Pole_EP1_DZ"], 30] > 0; if (_nearestRestriction) exitWith { cutText [format["Not in plot area"], "PLAIN DOWN"];}; }; So now the script is:
in negative case.. (if u cannot execute the script if the objet plot area is present then the script must be):

9-Give something to the player
here you can use:
player addMagazine "item id"; so for example if u wanna give gold money then:
player addMagazine "ItemBriefcase100oz"; if u wanna give coins money then:
_add = [player, 1000] call SC_fnc_addCoins; if u wanna give a random item then:
_add = ["ItemSodaOrangeSherbet","HandGrenade_west","ItemSodaEmpty"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; player addMagazine _add;  
So for the 1st example script looks: (give gold)
for the 2nd example looks: (give coins)
for the 3rd example (give random item)
10-Create a small function
Now you need use random events and repeat a large or medium secuence.. to not write twice.. use a small functiion.. see:
///Function function_spawncrate = { _cratemodels=["USBasicWeapons_EP1","LocalBasicAmmunitionBox"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _variete = ["ItemSodaOrangeSherbet","HandGrenade_west"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _stone = ["CinderBlocks","MortarBucket","PartOreSilver"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _wood = ["PartPlywoodPack","PartWoodPile","PartWoodLumber"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _farm = ["FoodchickenRaw","FoodCanCorn","FoodrabbitRaw","ItemKiloHemp","FoodCanCurgon"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _aiweapon = ["M16A2","M4A1"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _crate1 = objNull; if (true) then{ _this = createVehicle [_cratemodels, [8352.9189, 5950.7417, -3.0517578e-005], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _crate1 = _this; clearWeaponCargoGlobal _crate1; clearMagazineCargoGlobal _crate1; _crate1 addWeaponCargoGlobal [_aiweapon, 1]; _crate1 addmagazinecargoglobal [_variete, 2]; _crate1 addmagazinecargoglobal [_wood, 5]; _crate1 addmagazinecargoglobal [_stone, 3]; _crate1 addmagazinecargoglobal [_farm, 3]; _crate1 setVariable ["permaLoot",true]; }; sleep 400; deleteVehicle _crate1; }; ////////////////////////////////END FUINCTON  
script looks:
other way is call an external script into main script see:
[] execVM 'path\to\external\script.sqf'; so the variant to not make the small function as above is call this external.sqf 
your main.sqf
and you can put into external.sqf same codes as function_spawncrate
external.sqf
11-Some "Commands"
sleep  ( you can use it to leave in "stand by" your script for some seconds )
example: ( wait 40 seconds and proceed to delete a crate called _crate1 )
sleep 40; deleteVehicle _crate1; also you can use a variable to define the time and make wait the variable with sleep command:
_wait_time = 40; sleep _wait_time; deleteVehicle _crate1; Other way to let the script in "stand by" is use waitUntil command.
for example wait for nearest player from an objet:
_distance = 10; waitUntil {(player distance _xobjet) < _distance}; //proceed with the rest of the script so with waitUntil also you can wait to complete some conditions as above, where script wait for player 10 mts near the _xobjet
 
removeAllWeapons player;  //leave a player without weapons
removeBackpack player;  //without backpack
{player removeMagazine _x} forEach magazines player;  //without items
player setVariable['USEC_BloodQty',12000,true]; //set blood amount on player
r_player_infected = true; //infect player
[player,-100] call player_humanityChange;//modify humanity of the player
12-Count amount of item _
Now you need count how many items had this player in his inventory, to stop giving same item for example if thers more than 2
_bloodbagAmount = {_x == "ItemBloodbag"} count magazines player; if (_bloodbagAmount > 2) exitWith { cutText [format["WARNING: %1, YOure Full of bloodbags", name player], "PLAIN DOWN"]; }; 13-Leave the script if player is in combat
if (dayz_combat == 1) exitWith { cutText [format["IN COMBAT."], "PLAIN DOWN"]; }; 14-Attach to
_player = player;//create a _player variable _mark = "RoadFlare" createVehicle getPosATL _player;//create a roadflare called _mark with the same location of _player _mark attachTo [_player, [0,0,0]];//attach _mark to _player with 0/0/0 axis values In this case we create a "RoadFlare" in the _player position and proceed to attach it with the player

another thing , we forgot restrict the disconection from server if player are tied up.  we can set this player in combat to not allow this action
_body setVariable ["startcombattimer", 0, true];  

nice spot!  open upsmallhouse.sqf
find this line
_classname = "MAP_bouda2_vnitrek"; change by:
_classname = "MAP_deutshe_mini";  

Hi @juandayz I mentioned in my server thread earlier that I had altered the weapons spawned in the supply crate dropped from scanning the Workshop's antenna, but gave no details. The default traders on my server (who's price lists were stock 1.0.6) had different classes for some of the weapons in the crate so I changed lines 64-70 of craftfrecuency.sqf to:
//weapon lists _weapon = "DMR_DZ"; _weapon2 = "AK74_DZ"; _weapon3 = "L85_Holo_DZ"; _weapon4 = "RPK74_DZ"; _weapon5 = "M14_DZ"; _weapon6 = "M249_DZ";
