Loot Crates only spawning sometimes

js2k6 · April 23, 2014

Hi,

I've been having some issues with a testing server i'm running on my LAN

I have a whole bunch of map additions, and in three of these locations i have loot crates that are supposed to spawn.

sometimes these spawn, other times they do not

currently the map additions are in the server .pbo and the crates are in the mission files.

I call the server side map additions from server_functions.sqf like so...

// Map Additions 
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\balota.sqf";				// balota barracks
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\tikhaya.sqf";				// tikhaya city near kamenka
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\zelebarracks.sqf";			// zelenogorsk barracks
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\GOC_SI_Zelenogorsk.sqf"; 	// GOC Zeleno Rehab Center
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\GOC_SI_Grishino.sqf";		// Grishino Construction Site
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\GOC_TE_htlh.sqf"; 			// Hero Trader Overhaul
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\GOC_TE_btcc.sqf";			// Bandit Trader Overhaul
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\zonealpha.sqf";				// Zone Alpha
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\blklakecamp.sqf";			// Black Lake Campsite
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\ne_airstrip.sqf"; 			// NEAF Additions
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\lopatino.sqf";				// Lopatino Barracks
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\novylugbase.sqf";			// Novy Lug Base
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\GOC_TE_bash.sqf";			// Bash Trader City Overhaul
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\NWAF.sqf";					// NWAF Military Compound
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\otmelvil.sqf";				// Otmel Village
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\Mine_grotte.sqf";			// Kamenka Mine
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\skalisty.sqf";				// Skalisty Island Village and Bridge
// The Following Addons were made by 21DMD
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\solnichbike.sqf";			// Solnichiy Bike Dealer (made by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists)
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\NWAFtrader.sqf";			// NWAF Trader (made by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists)
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\smoosestaryfinal.sqf";		// Stary Trader (made by Smooose) 
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\balotaimproved.sqf";		// Balota Improvements by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\berezimproved.sqf";			// Berezino Improvements by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\superhero.sqf";				// super hero trader by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\map_additions\superbandit.sqf";			// super bandit trader by jedish3ep aka jakehekesfists

and then i call the loot crates from init.sqf like so

// Map Additions Loot
[] execVM "map_additions\box_la_grotte.sqf";
[] execVM "map_additions\nwafcrates.sqf";
[] execVM "map_additions\zonealpha_loot.sqf";

// Map Additions, Map Markers - New Method - easier to clean
[] execVM "custom\markers.sqf";

Previously I had tried to load all the additions serverside but the crates rarely spawned.

I'm at a loss now as they only spawn sometimes. Does anyone have any tips to make these crates always spawn?

in case required, heres one of my crates files

};

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: another possible thought, could it possibly be DZMS or WAI missions deleting these boxes as part of a cleanup script?

My guess these are being cleaned up.

  _this setVariable ["permaLoot",true];

BTW: Boxes only hold 1 backpack the rest fall on the ground.
Tents hold them ok though =)
