Hey hey, Can anybody tell me how i can read stuff from the database ? i want to take the humanity from the database but dont know how i can do this.....

Hello, i'd like to change a variable defined in the init dynamicly. i execute a script in the init.sqf (checkhum.sqf) which checks players humanity and if humanity is greater 10K values of "DZE_selfTransfuse_Values" should be raised. checkhum.sqf: (called from inside the !is_dedicated brackets ) private['_hum']; _hum=(player getVariable["humanity",0]); if(_hum > 10000) then { DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300] } else { DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [1000, 15, 300] }; My humanity is above 10K, but selfTransfuse_value is 1000, 15,300 and not 12000,15,300 as expected. I also tried if( (player getVariable["humanity",0]) > 10000) then {.... but without success. What am i doing wrong?

I have a question or two. I watched a video by a well named person on these forums. He basically stated we can move things from the init.sqf into the variables.sqf thus eliminating double calls to the dayz_code.pbo. for example: spawnShoremode = 0; // Default = 1 (on shore) spawnArea= 800; // Default = 1500 DynamicVehicleDamageLow = 75; // Default: 0 DynamicVehicleDamageHigh = 100; // Default: 100 MaxVehicleLimit = 100; // Default = 50 MaxDynamicDebris = 0; // Default = 100 dayz_MapArea = 16000; // Default = 10000 MaxMineVeins = 1; MaxAmmoBoxes = 5;These above things can be stated at the beginning of variables.sqf, then repacked into the PBO. this being said, why can't we do this with compiles.sqf? fn_selfactions? etc? instead of copying these files to our MPMission folder plus the changes needed for the mod(s) -- so it ends up double calling things along with adding to an increased mission file?

After a quick discussion with one of the Epoch devs, it was suggested that I make this thread on behalf of server hosts and mod makers to allow as much customisation as possible without infringing the Epoch licence. Essentially, due to the inability to distribute modified versions of the Epoch mod, I hear there are going to be some variables we will be able to set in the mission/server files in order to enable/disable/adjust features within the mod. I'm unaware of exactly what these variables are going to be so here are a few suggestions that me and the rest of the DayZRP developer team have come up with. If anyone else wishes to add to this list of suggestions, feel free to reply and I'll throw them into the OP to keep them compiled together. Change spawnable creatures/mobs Creature/mob spawn rate/timer Creature/mob spawn numbers Dead body cleanup rate Trader inventories Loot tables Random event rates (earthquakes ..etc) Weather

What is this guide for? Actually for everyone who ever wanted to learn about file structure of Arma 2 MP environment (Epoch in this case), from beginners to a bit more advanced users alike, including script makers and editors. What is this guide not for? If you ever created your own @mod, this guide is probably not for you. Damn 1 hour long video, is it worth watching it? No, create new topic and ask someone to help you with scripts if you came here to ask that question What are benefits from watching this video? If you actually follow along, you will be able to better troubleshoot problems with server and custom scripts. You will also be introduced to file structure of Epoch server, custom variables and compiles files as well as diffmerging files for script updates or compatibility issues. Are there any requirements to follow this guide? No, grab a coffee and chill. Don't try to replicate anything, instead just try to follow along, this is a theoretical guide rather than a tutorial. What's in the video? Introduction: I am explaining reason behind this video in full detail and talking about further contents, so skip ahead to what suits you best. Structure (03:00): We will be exploring file structure from first press of a button that lets client join the server. I will be explaining about different types of files used to run a server and how they chain load each other to make up a fully working server. Topics covered: Config files, mission config (ext) file, bin files, sqm and include files. I will be covering certain less essential parts like how RAM and HDD is used while loading scripts or PBO contents on demand. Variables (16:51): This section is for admins and script makers who brings over custom variables.sqf over to mission file. I will be explaining how variables are being defined to avoid RPT errors as well as introducing to common mistakes of redefining already defined variables that are present with many scripts and their guides and how to reduce mission file size by only reusing what is required. For all modders out there, please keep your own vars within your scripts, lets stop this madness. Functions (33:15): Precompiling functions is what actually makes our servers work. In this part of guide I will explain how they make up the server structure and how you are literary loading client and server files starting from init.sqf in your mission file. Yes you read that correct. I will be explaining common mistakes server admins commit by using custom compiles file server side and how majority of admins would blindly follow bad advices/guides and force loading their client and server files twice. We will be diving into more detail about compiles.sqf client side and server_functions.sqf files explaining how common mistakes are made when installing several addons that reuse same function and how to avoid future problems. Diffmerging (47:55): Last major part of this guide. I will be explaining how to work some magic with Diffmerge (or similar tools) to keep your addons up-to-date, as well as ironing out any incompatibilities between your custom scripts. We will be looking at how to diffmerge single file, whole folders and even merge two functions together to make them compatible. Experience gained here should allow you to merge any mod (or multiple mods) out there that uses same function making them compatible again. Final words (1:08:35): Conclusion and quick review of what we have learned within an hour of this guide.

Hi, I am currently writing a script which creates addaction items for the player based on nearby vehicles. I get the _vehiclesnear array, step through it in a foreach loop, filter out 'vehicles' I am not interested in and then do an add action for each of the remaining vehicles. The text for the Addaction includes the vehicle type and works fine for each addaction. The problem is the passed variable. I wish to add an action with the object _x as a parameter for each value of _x at the time of the add action. What I am getting is the last value of _x after the foreach loop has completed is being passed when any of the actions added are selected. i.e. (code is not syntax correct as it is from my memory but you should get the general idea) _vehiclesnear = ["Soldier","SUV","heli", "Player"]; _playerlist = ["Soldier","Player"]; { if !(_x in _playerlist) then { _vehicleType = typeof (_vehicleType); _actionText = format["Vechicle is : %1", _x]; actionHandle = player addaction _actiontext, [_x], "script.sqf"; }; }foreach vehiclesnear; The output action would be something like "Vechicle is : SUV" "Vechicle is : heli" When any option is selected, "Player" will be sent to script.sqf as it was the last value _x contained when the foreach loop finished. Any suggestions of how I can get the addaction to send the correct value to the script (i.e. the value of _x when the addaction was run) ?. Thanks.

It might be nice to have a list of all the options you guys have added to epoch so far, since most options are in the changelog, but not actually in the init.sqf. Hopefully this prevents a lot of topics with mods which are unneeded (in my eyes). Made this topic in feedback since it is an incomplete list. DZE_requireplot freshSpawn DZE_FriendlySaving DZE_ForceNameTagsOff DZE_ForceNameTags DZE_HumanityTargetDistance DZE_teleport DZE_BuildingLimit I probably skipped some (just checked the changelogs), perhaps i should list them ll with some expllanation its all up for editing

okay im trying to call a custom Compiles.sqf file like this so i can call a custom fn_selfactions like this but i problems it that it isnt showing up in game (scroll options like selfbloodbag etc. etc. etc.) if that isnt the why i call custom files what do i then do it ? & before anyone say it: yes the files are made correctly. i have even tried not call anything & go with the default & then it works. a really frustrated lolw00t/Richardfromlost
