[Release] Skin Trader 0.6 (Buy any arma skin)

[js2k6]

Turns out my issues with the skins not saving after restart was due to a problem with my init.sqf file

I was calling the standard epoch variables, and then the custom variables

 

Great news, especially for my players. 

Really positive feedback from everyone about the skins trader in my server btw. the players love it.

[DY357LX]

Hmm, followed the instructions but spawned in invisible and with no "Display Name?" option.

The vendor was there and displayed a menu but buying from him gave a "Could not count magazines!" error.

 

I'll give it another try tonight when I have more free time. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had the same problems.

How does this effect people getting into the same vehicle with these custom skins?

It won't effect anything.

Great that it works for you now.

Could you show me your init.sqf and mission.sqm? please put the code in pastebin and provide link here.

[psychosis]

got this working.

modified the male skins file 

http://pastebin.com/mLqRLjqg

^ this now includes a lot of the overwatch skins. such as stalker and the likes

 

and removed the female clothing as most seem to be civilian

 

some things should be noted here, 

if you use the files, unedited. some skins like dr hladik for instance, will mean that any player could trade items with you, as if you were the doctor at stary. 

 

thanks for all your effort boyd

 

although, even though my skin has changed in the sql database itself. when i come back in after a restart i was back in civilian clothing 

for Chernarus Epoch as I understand does not work? just tried ..

They both have the same Id=101.  maybe they need different Id.

There you go, what you did was make 2 Class Vehicles.

Followed instructions to the letter, but trader doesn't show up at designated spot in Klen (I didn't change default coordinates btw).  Server log reports this:

 

 2:32:10 Error in expression <AllPlayers set [count AllPlayers, "Bandit1_DZ","Ba>
 2:32:10   Error position: <set [count AllPlayers, "Bandit1_DZ","Ba>
 2:32:10   Error 67 elements provided, 2 expected
 2:32:10 File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Chernarus\scripts\variables.sqf, line 4

 

Looked over the posts, but no one having "lack-of-trader spawn" issues reported a similar log error.  I double-checked to make sure I replaced BOTH the Model Variables and AllPlayers lines with *just* your AllPlayers lines.  What does this error mean?

[boyd]

The error is a notice nothing to worry about, and the trader is not at Klen but at Stary.

[Nosfera242]

Heh, just figured that out in the last hour - lack of attention to detail on my part, sorry about that.  Was going off the video, but looked at the code and saw Stary.  He's there and he works, but I can see duplicate entries for a lot of the skins, and some blank lines in between skins in the list, and also there are skins missing (based on the list in the Skin_Trader files).  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?  Congrats on an *awesome* script btw!

[boyd]

if skins are missing the simple means they don't work, the missing skins are because of the traders of all the maps.

[Logan]

Works great! Though it's giving my players a watch, compass, and radio.

 

_hasGPS = false;

_hasCompass = false;

_hasRadio = false;

_hasWatch = false;

_hasMap = false;

 

Should those be set to true?

[boyd]

no the players are probably getting those on either restart or relog.

Any way to make it so that doesn't happen?

[midlifePC]

Got this working on first attempt, Skins work fine and are still there after restarts.

 

But is it right, that you cant wear backpacks anymore, while wearing those Skins?

You cannot arma skins start with that unless epoch devs want to put it in there client code.

i had the same thing with a few skins, if this happens just delete that skin from the list.

[midlifePC]

Yws, just tried a few and some work some don´t, nvm, that´s okay, thx

I had this problem as well with one of the skins. One of the military ones I believe.

[Dufer]

Theres a bug to where if you have a backpack and try buying a skin it'll still take the gold and return the error.

 

Heres a fix:

 

GetMen.sqf find:

if (Global_Price call player_checkItems) then {
			_removed = Global_Price call player_removeItems;
			systemchat format ["<System>: " + localize "You gave" + " %2 %1.",(Global_Price select 0)select 0,(Global_Price select 0)select 1];
			if (!isNull (unitBackpack player)) then {
	
			cutText ["You cannot change your Skin while wearing a backpack", "PLAIN"];
				}else{

change to:

if (Global_Price call player_checkItems) then {
			if (!isNull (unitBackpack player)) then {
			cutText ["You cannot change your Skin while wearing a backpack", "PLAIN"];
				}else{
					_removed = Global_Price call player_removeItems;
					systemchat format ["<System>: " + localize "You gave" + " %2 %1.",(Global_Price select 0)select 0,(Global_Price select 0)select 1];

[boyd]

Hey thnx dufer i have the same fix already in new version but working on preview to.
