[EMS] 0.2.6 Epoch Mission System

[umfufu]

what does that mean?

That u cant  sell spawned in vehicles

 

This is from WIA

 

_vehname    = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _vehclass >> "displayName");

_position = [getMarkerPos "center",0,5500,10,0,2000,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

diag_log format["WAI: Mission Armed Vehicle Started At %1",_position];

_veh = createVehicle [_vehclass,_position, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

_vehdir = round(random 360);

_veh setDir _vehdir;

_veh setVariable ["ObjectID","1",true];

PVDZE_serverObjectMonitor set [count PVDZE_serverObjectMonitor,_veh];

diag_log format["WAI: Mission Armed Vehicle spawned a %1",_vehname];

 

  this is working coz u spawn in vehicles from Config.cpp , no more hassle with names and u got a tradersitem id (ObjectID)

[Firefly]

i dont think its a problem with not being able to sell them because they arnt written to the database. if that was true i wouldn't be able to sell non hive versions of vehicles i spawn in with my admin tool. they are not database vehicles but i can still sell them fine.

 

 

Vehicles without an ID cannot be sold. It is fairly simple. The mission could be modified to save vehicles to the db allowing you to sell them but that it not on the cards at the moment. 

 

 really sucks on missions where the only reward is a vehicle and you cant sell it.

 

 

You make more money from collecting the AI guns and selling them than you would selling most of the vehicles. In the meantime you can modify the loot boxes to increase rewards should that not be enough. I'll happily look into this but at the moment have quite a lot to do. 

 

Have you updated the main post with the correct instructions for 1.0.4? If not, you are confusing people. You haven't even updated the version number as you make fixes, which is confusing. A 29 page thread clouds things and makes it more difficult to find the correct answers. Since you have your own subforum now, why not clean it up, create a new post with the information about how to set up EMS properly, for the current version of Epoch?

 

 

I believe Fuchs has updated the first page although I don't beleive version numbers have changed. You are right about the long topics they are a waste of time especially since people often post when the fix was in the previous page.

To make it simple, why not just lock out players from AI vehicles, like DZAI?

so EMS can be modified to make mission vehicles sellable at traders? and if so where is this edited?

U could see it this way  , a vehicle but only for use not for sale

 

Or go to Wia -173  Fuchs has already made a few missions running

 

For me wasnt  a issue   me set 'm on fire :lol:

 

@ins_slayer 

 

Try Wia-173 this will be the next gen side-mission

 

Or this for a template

Traders check if whether the technique in the database. 

as we move to the mission changed trade_any_vehicle.sqf?

[Turtle]

Hey so um, how does this mission system work, what is included in it? in the video all I see is the guy looking on the map and calling in a evac...so what exactly comes in this DL?

[adrianna]

Most problems? Most of the problems on this 28 page post are caused by people failing to read instructions...

Wth, did you read the posts from users? Obviously not.

 

How many mission templates does the EMS system have? 26? So that is 26 missions that need to be converted, tested and changed for some of the features EMS does not have but would like to use. While having a job, a life, a family.

We know that you are the only one with Job and family.

 

Good for you. Have you shared those missions?

Why? That all servers have exact the same scripts and bases?

 

Fuchs is influenced by the community who uses those missions...

Read post 444 and 445...

[F507DMT]

somebody can suggest a solution? why not sell Vehicles with missions?

[Fuchs]

Haha lol.

No EMS will not be shut down in any way !

Torndeco moved from arma2/dayz to arma3 .thats what im also looking forward to.

Dzai integration will be the next goal for 0.5 .

We also know about the bugs with 0.2.6 so i think the best thing for now is watch over wai with ported ems missions !

After integrating most of all missions from ems to wai . 

I will also start over with help from will and firefly to make ems better!

Cheers fuchs 

[Firefly]

Adrianna:

 

I've read most of them, and from the previous version pages and yes there has been issues with class names and a couple of missions were notoriously buggy, those particular missions have never worked very well. 

 

My point is regarding life is you are not he one who has one and still finds time, unpaid to do this and release it for other people to use. No, you would rather use other peoples work for yourself, not share and then complain in a thread that's main purpose is to help other people. Either help people, post legitimate questions regarding issues or just leave it and revel in your own custom work. 

 

Regarding DAYZAI the gist of it was Buttface would help Fuchs add DAYZAI to the missions, which I believe he has. Many people, yourself included obviously assumed that he would drop DAYZAI completely and just work on EMS. That is an incorrect assumption and in fact had you read a few posts later you would see a clarification. 

[Ventana]

where can we get/see the ported EMS missions to WIA?

[umfufu]

U can with EMS 0.26 but u need to modify the missions , i gave a idea (template in post #583) for the vehicles

Wrecks offcourse dont need modifying

[FUBAR22]

Fuchs/umfufu - Just a shout out to both of you for all your help in all these posts.  I know how much work and time you put into this, and other threads/forums I see you work/comment on.  So, just know I appreciate the work.  Keep it up.

 

With that said - I will agree to one persons comment made.  May be a good time to close this thread and open up a new one based on 1.0.4 being out.  Seems like a whole lot of new issues.  For those on 1.0.3, I think these 29+ pages covers most of their problems. 

 

How about starting a new EMS 0.2.6 thread for Epoch 1.0.4 where we can post stuff related to installation and issues of EMS 0.2.6  and the 1.0.4 version/mod until you do a complete switch over to WIA or whatever else you decide.

 

It has been hard to track issues/solutions for the past week or so.

 

Thanks again

FUBAR

[Fuchs]

May a little update ahead but i'm not sure if i can release it in that state !

 

Now i got the Heli evac by using a call to dzai to protect the vehicle[working],if it's internally tested we will update it with EMS asap!

 

So all of this won't be needed anymore !

 
Around line 22 look for this:
{
diag_log(format["Non-string Object: ID %1 UID %2", _objectID, _uid]);
//force fail
_objectID = "0";
_uid = "0";
};
Insert this after it:
if (_object getVariable "Sarge" == 1) exitWith {};
comment this out and add the line below :
 //if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then
and add
if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1)) then

Located: dayz_server\init\server_functions.sqf
 
Around line 298 look for this:
if(vehicle _x != _x && !(vehicle _x in PVDZE_serverObjectMonitor) && (isPlayer _x)  && !((typeOf vehicle _x) in DZE_safeVehicle)) then {
Replace with this:
if (vehicle _x != _x && !(vehicle _x in PVDZE_serverObjectMonitor) && (isPlayer _x) && (vehicle _x getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1) && !((typeOf vehicle _x) in DZE_safeVehicle)) then {

nvm

[FrenzyFire000]

Just Installed this this morning and followed the instructions, but it does not seam to be working, but I use DZAI and I am running Epoch 1.0.4b.

I saw where someone had EMS on their server with DZAI already so I thought I would try it as well. Guess I need to wait until the next update for the DZAI Mission.

 

Thanks

@Cen

 

Hope u never get a ID thats already beeing used , coz u never checked it against the DB

The odds are  small but what if ?

 

Best is to make use off the already known ID from the Database , aka ObjectID

As i said few dayz ago the best way is to use epoch own methods to pullin or even remove Objects

And deny any Object that aint part of your missionconfig or epoch's config

[cen]

There is no ID in the database for these objects, they don't save to the DB.

 

If on the off chance it assigns a similar ID to another vehicle, it might sell both? Not sure :D

[Fuchs]

I say it once more ems will not support this feature ¡

If i can get my own server running again i will try to fix the car issue .so u can sell them but they dont be saved to db !

[freakystyle]

Okay Chef ;D

 

Mach in ruhe.....

If you run into any performance issues with this method, try instead.
