You can either try the fix MGT posted or mine.

These will remove the bug where players spawn near their bodies.

0verHeaT,

can you send me your plyrHit, server player died and server player death sqfs?

Cause nothing happen after installing your script

[WarHammer(DayZ)]

OMG.... I have been waiting for someone to post how to do this for months!!! I've asked several times on the boards and no one had a how-to... 

Thank you so very much for sharing.

I posted it

[WarHammer(DayZ)]

I just put this on my server and tested it out.. Man it's awesome!!! Great script

 

 

Just one thing, I am also getting the BLUFOR messages to pop in sidechat as well . Would you know how to disable this ?

 

Thank you in advance

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = false;

Set this to false in your init.sqf

Thanks man !!!!

Any fix for all the nilm messages?

 

And what about if a vehicle kill shouldn't there be a check for that otherwise it's 2 names next to eachother.

 

I wouldn't say this is completely functional yet.

 

But thanks for releasing!

Yer most the time someone gets shot says nil / run someone over says nil when that happens people think im killing them will "admin hacks" when im not even on line ....

This could be avoided by checking if the killername, distance...etc. nil is and only execute this if it is not nil.

Give me a moment...

[Pro_Speedy]

I though maybe if it resulted in NIL change it to say AI but i'm guessing you get nil for other deaths and not AI

 

Hmm

[0verHeaT]

To fix the nil errors add this (instead of the old part)

                if ((_killername == "STRING") and ((currentWeapon _killer) == "STRING")) then {
			_pic = gettext(configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon _killer) >> 'picture');
			_kill_txt = format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>%1 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
			_kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<img size='1.0' align='left' image='%2'/>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
			_kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'> %3 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
			_kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>[%4m]</t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];

			customkillMessage = [_kill_txt];
			publicVariable "customkillMessage";
		};

below

_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m", _victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];

No message come up on this

[WarHammer(DayZ)]

No message come up on this

He is correct , when you implement that change you no longer get the custom message with the picture in the top left corner of the screen. Nor any death message for that matter

[0verHeaT]

ok i noticed that this did not work. I just did not have the time to test this yesterday.

Im gonna rewrite the script to fix these issues.

        _message = format["%1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m",_victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];
        _loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m", _victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];
if ((_killername == "STRING") and ((currentWeapon _killer) == "STRING")) then {
            _pic = gettext(configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon _killer) >> 'picture');
            _kill_txt = format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>%1 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
            _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<img size='1.0' align='left' image='%2'/>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
            _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'> %3 </t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];
            _kill_txt = _kill_txt + format ["<t align='left' size='0.9'>[%4m]</t>",_killerName,_pic,_victimName,(ceil _distance)];

            customkillMessage = [_kill_txt];
