If u need an another tester, give me a call :)

If u need an another tester, give me a call :)

 

Please do test! The more feedback and testers I can get for the test builds, the quicker I can fix bugs and the closer we get to the alpha release ^_^

 

Also, NL translations of these strings would be appreciated:

The format ZFM makes the mission text in is: A <x> <ZFM_OnTheWayTo> [place name] <ZFM_OnTheWayToDeath>. It is suspected that <ZFM_BanditGroup_Names> have secured the site. So if that could be re-done in Nederlands with the right grammar, etc, then I will release ZFM with NL language support as I speak Intermediate Dutch, too :)

Hmm, I will install them on my server ASAP. 

 

Will give the NL translations a go :)

Darihon, you're awesome! I will add in Nederlands support for the Alpha :lol:

 

At the moment I won't be working on ZFM until maybe Thursday, possibly Wednesday, depending upon how long my current heavy workload lasts. Most likely I will be able to get the rest/most of the alpha development concluded on the weekend, and will be releasing various testing builds along the way for you to check, including the much-required JIP fix, which is an easy fix, and also testing with the latest ARMA build BetterDeadThanZed referred to above. I simplified the structure of ZFM greatly in the most recent ZFM-devel build as all the []exec calls I made before were so the loops in each file would run. Enhanced error logging on the new build is great as I'm sure it can make development faster.

 

Thanks for the support, translation, clarification and help you've all given so far, and most of all ,thanks for the patience. Specially BetterDeadThanZed, he needs his JIP action ^_^

Could you make it so all radio messages require a radio to actually hear them? Such as the announcement of the missions? Or at least make it an option.

Absolutely -- great idea. I will add this to the alpha release as an option, but enabled as default for those who want it as they currently expect it. I prefer the more realistic approach! :)

[Tobias Solem]

Nice. Really psyched about this, am really looking forward to replacing WAI on our server. Won't be happy about trying to redesign all my 21 missions I currently have, but it's a clunky piece of work.

 

Hopefully the AI will work similarly in this (ie. share information, etc.).

Thanks -- it gives one a desire to continue working hard when there is such enthusiasm about software :lol: There will be AI functions which will be implemented into what will be called ZAI (Zambino AI), which will be a part of FairServer. At the moment, FairServer is ZFM, mainly. as it stands:

 

FairServer (ZFSS - Zambino Fair Server System)

• Fair Mission (ZFM) - This lovely project (which until ZAI is created, will work on supporting other AI if possible, like SAR or WAI)
• Fair AI (ZAI) - Specific AI logic (Future projecT)
• Common RunTime (ZCR) -- Functions and other non-specific code that can be re-used in other projects.

Once the ZFM is in a state that it has all the lovely features I like, I will allow someone else to be a maintainer for the code while I work on ZAI. ZCR really already exists within ZFM, it's just the functions I wrote to do things like delete a bunch of objects, queue things, array functions, etc.

 

I am planning to release a ZFM-Pro version after the releases which contains premium features like SQL stats integration, and other things. I still will stay and support the features in ZFM as it's my baby still ^_^  :wub:

I know, haha. Give me a call if u need more Dutch translations.

[ZamboniBambino]

I will ;)

 

I am still busy today, so I haven't had a chance to work on the code, and won't get around to it until probably Thursday or Friday. I know that at the moment, BetterDeadThanZed is like this:

 

[ZamboniBambino]

Developing..

[ZamboniBambino]

Time to kill some bugs and get closer to a release :ph34r:

Loot crates are looking a bit more healthy now.. :)

It's working better.. :-) (Yeah, the AI are on war machine behind me, and I'm getting shot to crap.., as was my helicopter  :D )

[Darihon]

Looks soooo coool!

[ZamboniBambino]

Added Dutch Language Support. I couldn't get a screenshot, but here's something equally exciting. Debug output!

23:48:12 "AFTER ARRAY [[0,"2x101011","Een Mi17_TK_EP1 op een humanitaire missie naar Rogovo lijkt te zijn gesaboteerd. meedogenloze bandieten heeft der site aangegrepen.","any","any",["1x101013","1x101012","1x101012","1x101010","1x101012","1x101013","1x101012","1x101011"],8,0,[],[],[]]]"
23:48:12 "WAITING 2460 SECONDS"

It's not yet available for a testing build, unfortunately -- it's not stable enough for that, mainly because it's incomplete. However, you can mess around with it here (under the proviso you know it's not a testing revision)  :)

[ZamboniBambino]

Very close indeed to a release worthy of testing by BetterDeadThanZed, et al. Tonight, however, I have some paid work to work on, so I will only get about an hour or so of coding in. But that hour of coding should be enough to get a testing release out.

[insertcoins]

I'd go for HC

[ZamboniBambino]

I'd go for HC

A-wha?

[Darihon]

Headless Client? :)

[ZamboniBambino]

Headless Client? :)

 

What does he mean by "I'd go", though? :D

[insertcoins]

 

Worked pretty nice by itself.  With WAI + ZFM I get:

 

18:31:27 Error in expression <ssage = ZFM_Name + ZFM_Version;

 

 

if(!isNil(WAIconfigloaded)) then

{

diag_log(>

18:31:27   Error position: <isNil(WAIconfigloaded)) then

{

diag_log(>

18:31:27   Error isnil: Type Bool, expected String,code

18:31:27 File z\addons\dayz_server\ZFM\ZFM_Mission_Functions.sqf, line 225

 

 

I just started playing with this last night so I need to check the github and this file to see what's up.   I'll run it without WAI next restart.... I get bad lag with WAI AI with 40+ players so I'm looking for an alternative or going HC.

 

So far I like it... I remove the message when you kill and AI and changed it so they don't have 5+config mags each.  

 

 

 

I'd go for HC

 

 

my work browser didn't show the other pages for some reason. Hella weird and I understand the confusion D:
