[Should there be more Food/Drink/Building materials?]

I think the loot rate is fine.. Perhaps too many weapons.

 

The one thing I'd like to have changed/editable is the really low rate at which forniture spawns.

[Publicvariable.txt being overwritten! - Hence admin menu kicks]

That's fine as long as the epoch config knows where the BE files are located. Verify the BE path with your host and go from there.

 

Problem being, I can't edit the epochserver.ini to my host's BE location; the server will simply replace the file on restart once it detects the modification.

 

I've tried checking the "use custom redis" option from my host's control panel so that it allows me to keep a modified epochserver.ini, but that will make the server crash on start up for some reason.

 

It would seem that Nitrado is derping it up this time.

[Please bring back the Arma 2 Trader system]

The only thing I'd like to have back is trader "classes", as in having a specific trader for weapons, vehicles, food and misc. at trader cities; while the random traders around the map could just buy and sell everything at different rates of Krypto.

 

That'd be interesting.

[A concern about antagonists]

I like the odd approach they're taking; it's like some Fallout mixed with The Zone from STALKER (I'd totally dig more Bloodsucker-style enemies).

 

They just need to coagulate their lore a bit more and perhaps write a more convincing back-story for these antagonists, in my opinion.

[Publicvariable.txt being overwritten! - Hence admin menu kicks]

BEC only reloads the files it is our DLL that changes the publicvariable.txt so that it will work with our random vars.

 

My problem is quite the opposite; all configs seem to be aiming at the right places but BEC doesn't touch publivar.txt at restart, it simply never happens.

 

I'm running the pre-installation with Nitrado and I think they change something with the folder structure that breaks the .dll's job..

Although the only thing that's different is the BE filters are in a "config" folder instead of the default "SC" you guys provide.

 

I'm at a loss..

[How do you admin your server?]

Yes, it can do 10x more than that :P but there is only one problem (or if you are rich its no problem) the infistart antihack tool costs 40$

 

anyway here is the link: http://dayzantihack.com/

Or you can get a host that gives you that included in the rent (i.e. Nitrado).

[AI recruitment for epoch]

try this wenn pointing at the enemy  http://youtu.be/UdBj0BVTOGs?t=11m30s

 

This only works when they recognize the target as an enemy already, such as other AI and zombies (using STENCHOVDETH's fix).

No luck for other players and such.

[AI recruitment for epoch]

~,backspace

 

But without the targeting system, how do we get them to attack other players?

Assuming it's using the Arma2 faction system, I guess that's not even possible?

[AI recruitment for epoch]

The script is awesome, thanks for sharing it.

But I'm having a bit of a problem with AI inside a vehicle with you, if they're gunning, they will only fire once the player leaves the vehicle.

 

Also, would there be a way of ordering the AI to engage a certain target?

Cheers.

what about just putting this in the init above events?  DZE_GodModeBase = true;

 

This works perfectly, however only for brick buildables it seems.

Gonna dig to find if those classnames are defined somewhere.

[[RELEASE] Vehicle Key Changer - For making Masterkey - V 1.4 (Updated 06/15/2014)]

Hi!

 

In first line thanks for the author for this great idea and code!

 

To solve the problem with disappearing and replaced vehicles, open VehicleKeyChanger_init.sqf and place the following code after function ON_fnc_vkc_reset in line 56:

dayz_objectUID_vkc = {
	private["_position","_dir","_key","_object"];
	_object = _this;
	_position = getPosATL _object;
	_dir = direction _object;
	_key = [_dir,_position] call dayz_objectUID2_vkc;
    _key
};

dayz_objectUID2_vkc = {
	private["_position","_dir","_key"];
	_dir = _this select 0;
	_key = "";
	_position = _this select 1;
	{
		_x = _x * 10;
		if ( _x < 0 ) then { _x = _x * -10 };
		_key = _key + str(round(_x));
	} forEach _position;
	_key = _key + str(round(_dir));
	_key
};

I suggest to reset some variables as well, place the following code after waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_animalCheck"}; in line 83:

s_player_copyToKey=-1;
lastKeyChangeCursorTarget = [objNull,objNull,objNull,objNull,objNull];

I also changed the self action menu text in that case when you claim a vehicle without a key, text "Change Vehicle Key" changed to "Claim Vehicle" in line 118.

 

And I got an odd 'general error' in some cases (probably when I had no key in my inventory but all other requirements were fullfilled)

so, I changed

if (_carKey != "0") then {

to

} else {

Now open VehicleKeyChanger.sqf and add the following code to line 129:

	/* Giving unique UID for claimed vehicles */
	if (_targetVehicleUID=="0") then {
		_targetVehicleUID = _targetVehicle call dayz_objectUID_vkc;
		_targetVehicle setVariable ["ObjectUID",_targetVehicleUID,true]; // It does probably nothing and it's not needed :)
	};

With these modfifications you can Claim a server spawned vehicle which has only ObjectID (MySQL primary, autoincremented ID) but ObjectUID=0.

On our server you can claim mission vehicles as well, because for mission vehicles we generate ObjectID="0" and ObjectUID=_vehicle call dayz_objectUID; (Server side call.)

dayz_objectUID and dayz_objectUID2 are standard ObjectUID generator functions from server_functions.sqf, and we had to place them to client side (_vkc added to names).

To fix objects stored in your database with ObjectUID=0 just run this MySQL command on object_data table:

UPDATE object_data SET ObjectUID=ROUND(RAND(1)*1000000000000000) WHERE ObjectUID=0

The attachment seems to be broken at the moment.

 

But hey, nice little script.

A little bit of effects added here and there, plus actual buildings instead of Epoch ones, and it'll be perfect :)

Might as well..

It does look like the MBG killhouses though, and these ARE in Epoch.

[[Official Release] EMS 0.3]

Not sure if mentioned in this thread already but do your missions all seem to spawn in the same ish place? Something broken or is it due to bases on the map? 

 

At line 95 of DZMSFunctions.sqf, replace the values with this:

_pos = [_centerPos,0,6000,20,0,2000,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

It should give you a similar effect to the original EMS missions, I widened the distance from the center a bit and higher maximum distance from an object from 20 to 2000; this should randomize locations a little bit again.

[[Official Release] EMS 0.3]

Not sure if mentioned in this thread already but do your missions all seem to spawn in the same ish place? Something broken or is it due to bases on the map? 

 

I'm not sure, but I think he changed or even removed BIS_fnc_findSafePos from the script, hence why he put a tutorial on how to use it on the first page.

It's either using fixed coords or the BIS_fnc_findSafePos settings are so strict that it only finds acceptable 2-3 locations on the map; I still need to look into it.

[One life only mod]

4 out of 5 deaths on my server are due to accidents and DayZ/ArmA2 glitches.. And I run a No KOS policy...

So, personally, I wouldn't advise this; but hey, it's up to you mate :)

[[RELEASE] Vehicle Key Changer - For making Masterkey - V 1.4 (Updated 06/15/2014)]

I have disabled the script on my server for the time being, a good solution could be rolling back to the previous version (with bouncy vehicles).

If you restart the server every 3 hours and put a delay that's higher than that, then you'll never have any blowout at all.

If you haven't already, get Navicat or any other MySQL management software; or if your host allows it, you can always use the built in phpMyAdmin.
