[INFO] DZE Configs & Variables / Init

[Zupa]

This Topic will give you all default options you can change in your init.sqf/variables.sqf to personalize your server without putting any script in.

 

 

If I made any mistakes, please clearify and I will change it!

 

 

Simple add the line in the top half of your init.sqf to change values (unless stated otherwise)

 

 

Selfbloodbag

DZE_SelfTransfuse = false; // default value

TRUE: Allows player to right click on a bloodbag to use a bloodbag on himself.

 

 

Selfbloodbag values

DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300]; // default value

If  DZE_SelfTransfuse is set to true, this will define the value of that bloodbag,

1st value is the ammount of blood you get from the bag;

2nd value is the infection chance in %

3th value is the cooldown in seconds

 

 

 Max Animals

dayz_maxAnimals = 5;

Amount of animals per player. They will despawn like zombies if no one is there.

 

 

timezoneswitch

timezoneswitch = 0; 

Changes the murdermenu times with this offset in hours.

 

 

Zombie settings

dayz_maxLocalZombies = 40;

Max number of zombies spawned per player.

 

dayz_maxGlobalZombiesInit = 40;

Starting global max zombie count, this will increase for each player within 400m (Default: 40)

 

dayz_maxGlobalZombiesIncrease = 10;

This is the amount of global zombie limit increase per player within 400m (Default: 10)

 

dayz_maxZeds = 500;

DayZ Epoch Debug For Servers

DZEdebug = false;

If set to true, the server RPT file will have alot more info on what happends on the server. ( For debugging).

 

Wiki explenation:

 

 

true will enable debug so that road debris and new vehicle spawns are visible via map markers. Also debug will enable "Save to arma.RPT" that allows access of a tool to obtain lootpos information for buildings used for adding support for additional maps. (Default: false)

Position

dayz_minpos = -20000;
dayz_maxpos = 20000;

The max and min distance from center of the map where a player can logout and still spawn on the same position when loggin in. Does this also affect the radiation you get when passing these places ( I dont think so)?

DZE_BuildingLimit = 150;

Ammount of builables allowed in this distance.

1st value is the radius of a plotpole

2nd value is the radius where the next plot can be build.

DZE_maintainRange = ((DZE_PlotPole select 0)+20);

This will "damage" walls, floors, etc every day so they can be maintained.

 

 

 

If i forgot anything please post it here so we can complete this information topic.

This is a very handy topic , god knows the time we waste installing scripts with functions already implemented on basic epoch.

 

Isnt the DZE_StaticConstructionCount the number of steps to place a buidable?

On my server is set to 1 so its 1 step building, if its set to 0 i would imagine there is no building animation

Also have these implemented on my server

 

DZE_ForceNameTags=true;

spawnShoremode = 0; // Default = 1 (on shore)

spawnArea= 1500; // This is the overall area used to determine where to spawn vehicles, road debris, and helicopter crashes. (Default: 10000) 

MaxVehicleLimit = 200; // Controls the max overall vehicle limit if this limit is reached no new vehicles will spawn. 

MaxDynamicDebris = 200; // Default = 100

dayz_MapArea = 18000; // Default = 10000

dayz_minpos = -1000; // Defines acceptable play area if player is outside of area the players position will reset on reconnect. (Default: -20000) 

dayz_maxpos = 26000; // Defines acceptable play area if player is outside of area the players position will reset on reconnect. (Default: 20000) 

MaxMineVeins = 150; // Max Ore Veins

MaxAmmoBoxes = 25; // Max Ammo boxes

dayz_sellDistance_boat = 80;

DynamicVehicleDamageLow = 10; // Default: 0

DynamicVehicleDamageHigh = 50; // Default: 100

DynamicVehicleFuelLow = 10;

DynamicVehicleFuelHigh = 35;

DZE_StaticConstructionCount=1;

DZE_vehicleAmmo = 1; //Default = 0, deletes ammo from vehicles with machine guns every restart if set to 0.

DZE_BackpackGuard = false; //Default = True, deletes backpack contents if logging out or losing connection beside another player if set to true.

DZE_HeliLift = false;     //epoch default heli lifting

DZE_R3F_WEIGHT = true;   //remove weight system

DZE_MissionLootTable = true; // custom loot tables ( have to be included in the description.ext file)

DZE_ForceNameTagsInTrader = true; //Forces player names in traders

 

Awesome post Zupa , keep up the good work,

[iSoJu]

DZE_StaticConstructionCount = 0; = 1 step building

[Zupa]

Updated and finished , Its complete now ( i think)

[Zupa]

I just noticed that the Zomvie variables get overwritten again in the bottom side of the variables.sqf

 

I guess this was overlooked iin an update?

[Pro_Speedy]

Nice!

 

1 thing i noticed is that

 

DZE_backpackguard  is not for safezones, it is for clearing out players backpacks if the game thinks they are duping (anti-dupe basicly) 

 

not entirely sure though

[Corper]

DZE_Surrender = true;

able to surrender, which drops all weapons and places hands on head

[THEbookie]

DZE_Surrender = true;

able to surrender, which drops all weapons and places hands on head

 

Do people need to keybind to use this or is it a scroll menu option?

[Corper]

its default already keybinded, i believe its "\"

[boyd]

You forgot these.

 

[CHANGED] Replaced variable DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; with DefaultBackpackItems = [""]; which accepts both weapons and magazines. @icomrade

[ADDED] Default player skin for fresh spawns, selected randomly DZE_defaultSkin = [["Male skin1","Male skin2"],["Female skin1","Female skin2"]]. @icomrade

[SmokeyBR]

You forgot these.

 

[CHANGED] Replaced variable DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; with DefaultBackpackItems = [""]; which accepts both weapons and magazines. @icomrade

 

aww... you beat me to it.

[Zupa]

Thx guys, updated the post ( sorry, had a bussy weekend)

[boyd]

remove this DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

[ABLGDayZ]

 

LootSpawnTimer

DZE_LootSpawnTimer = 10;

Not really sure. The time that takes to start spawning loot in an area?

 

 

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/86751-demystification-of-the-dayz-loot-spawn-system-spoiler/

 

LootSpawnTimer,

is the time, which needs to elapse till loot-points, which were previously "geared on" or cleared (taken all loot), spawn NEW. IF all players are in a range of 30-120m, no more, no less.

Does the godmode base command stop you from being able to maintain your base?  Would the items not be removed from the database event removing old objects?

Godmode just prevents the objects from being destroyed by players, the server cleanup is still handled separately.

If the cleanup is somewhere else, what about the remove object old event in the database?  

 

If you can't maintain, then you cannot update the timestamps, no?  Won't it all vanish?

Godmode itself doesn't prevent your ability to maintain, but you need to make sure the setDamageonAge event is scheduled:

 

https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/Server%20Files/SQL/add_recommended_mysql_events.sql#L90

-- ----------------------------
-- Event structure for setDamageOnAge
-- ----------------------------
DROP EVENT IF EXISTS `setDamageOnAge`;
DELIMITER ;;
CREATE EVENT `setDamageOnAge` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY COMMENT 'This sets damage on a wall so that it can be maintained' DO UPDATE `Object_DATA` SET `Damage`=0.1 WHERE `ObjectUID` <> 0 AND `CharacterID` <> 0 AND `Datestamp` < DATE_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, INTERVAL 3 DAY) AND ( (`Inventory` IS NULL) OR (`Inventory` = '[]') )
;;
DELIMITER ;

This will "damage" walls, floors, etc every day so they can be maintained.

Most of these variables can be set in your init.sqf

Is that in the dayz_code pbo?
