Custom Loadout help

[ObamaCare]

I think I've tried about 6 different methods to change the default player spawn loadout, and nothing seems to be working.

 

Here's a relevant snippet of the mission pbo's init.sqf

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

	//Custom Loadouts
	[] ExecVM "Scripts\loadout.sqf";
	
	//Run the player monitor
	_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
	_playerMonitor = 	[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";	
	
	//anti Hack
	[] execVM "admintools\AdminList.sqf";

I made sure that that the directory was correct and everything. Here's the loadout.sqf file

//Default Loadout
DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked"];
DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","ItemFlashlight","ItemHatchet"];
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";
DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

Yet the players always spawn, even after death, with the crowbar (default) loadout.

Any RPT files by chance? Could help figure out the problem.
Otherwise you can try this setup:
 

waitUntil {(getPlayerUID player) != ""};
//Default Loadout
DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","FoodCanSardines","ItemWaterbottle","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD"];
DefaultWeapons = ["Itemtoolbox","ItemMap","ItemHatchet_DZE","ItemCompass","ItemKnife","M9SD"];
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";
DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

Here is a fresh RPT log http://pastebin.com/FeZkT3yL

Ignore the admin tools part, that's something I can fix on my own. Just forgot a comma.

 

Edit: tried your idea, nothing changed.

put 

//Default Loadout
DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","FoodCanSardines","ItemWaterbottle","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD"];
DefaultWeapons = ["Itemtoolbox","ItemMap","ItemHatchet_DZE","ItemCompass","ItemKnife","M9SD"];
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";
DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

just after your // DayZ Epoch config stuff

also you have a lot of errors in your rpt so if someone wants to help you fix all of those...

I was planning on fixing those errors after I find a solution for this. And that was actually the first thing I tried. I noticed in the cache folder there is a file called default.sqf, and that contains the default spawn items in it, but whenever I edit it it gets overwritten on restart. I'm running a Linux server if that changes anything.

I appreciate the help, but that was the first thing I tried and the script never seemed to have executed.

It worked first time and has worked since then, are you sure you done everything right?

[ObamaCare]

I tried it, and I had two friends try it, none of us could get it to work. I suppose I could find another way though. Maybe find out what the base file is that defines the loadout then change that.

all you gotta do is put this:

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemMorphine","ItemBloodbag","ItemAntibiotic","ItemPainkiller","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodCanBakedBeans","30rnd_9x19_MP5","30rnd_9x19_MP5","30rnd_9x19_MP5"]; 
DefaultWeapons = ["ItemFlashlight","ItemHatchet_DZE","ItemMap","ItemCompass","MP5A5"]; 
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1"; 
//DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

just above dayz_paraSpawn = true; in your init.sqf

and modify it the way you like!

It helps explain why you just simply cannot ignore RPT errors because you think they are unrelated to what your current issue is.

Thank you, I was able to make it work by debugging other scripts. I'm just so used to other game servers that simply ignore errors and continue executing other, working, scripts.
