https://github.com/Torndeco/Epoch-Missions/commit/705a0518704aca06e0a7055d340a8ef69b9e7f16 link doesnt work

 

http://community.bis....com/wiki/isNil
if !(isNil "MCoords") then {
  // Insert Marker Code
};
Also if u want u can improve the random timer code with..

Note i have the timer values reversed compared to the mission timer code u are using.

i.e

_wait = [300,600] call mission_timer;

edit:

The reason for why the orignal code is bad...

 

If u used the values 300/600

 

It would pick a random number 0->600.

If the number is under 300 it would repeat & pick a random number 0->600.

This would keep happening until it picked a good number (300->600).

[Fuchs]

THX Torndeco for your hint !

 

THX waTTe for the marker fix !

 

For those who want to test 0.2.6 use this link https://github.com/TheFuchs/EMS-Epoch-Mission-System has been tested the last 24hrs and just the sniper/axemurderer mission seems buggy atm.

 

Stable Version is 0.2.5 https://github.com/TheFuchs/EMS-Epoch-Mission-System/releases/tag/0.2.5

If we have some potential fixes Is it better to do a pull request or just post here?

[Fuchs]

The better way is Github !

 

If u dont have a account put it over here ...

 

BTW : Thx for your PartPlank fix !

 

See you guys like Github fixes coming in from people !

 

Community heads up to EMS ,everyone is invited to make the best Mission System !

 

 

Fixed some more issues for 0.2.6 maybe if no one reports any issue until 23:00 CET i will tag it as official release !

I've just installed DZAI (1.9) and EMS )(0.2.5) and things look to be working well for the most part - I need to tweak settings to get the spawn rate etc right, but that's just trial and error.

 

2 problems I am encountering now though are:

 

1) Mission Gear / loot - the crates don't spawn. Has anyone enocuntered something similar? I have Infistar ( instaled which I guess could be the cause? Any thoughts on this would be great.

 

2) Mission locations - missions span off map in the deep sea. I assume that this is because the map locations are set for chernarus where I run Panthera (Epoch 1.0.3.1)? If this is the case, does anyone have the locations set for Panthera  they'd be willing to share? If not, any ideas ? :)

 

thanks

[thekaboobie]

I use this on panthera and you can get pretty good spawn locations working using BIS_fnc_findSafePos; instead of the coords

 

something like this:

 

_coords = [getMarkerPos "center",0,5500,100,0,20,0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

 

It won't be perfect 100% of the time but it's better than using the default until you can find all the coords you want to use.

Are you using the stock infiSTAR menu from Nitrado/your host?

If yes, there's a high chance the HACKED BOX Check (_CHB) setting is turned on and you won't be able to customize the AH so that _CHB = false; this will usually result in the AH removing mission cargo crates.

[Fuchs]

I'll be back on 6.1.2014 .

 

@ all : Happy New Year 

[Picking]

hey guys have got this running on my server everything is all sweet i went through and changed the vehicle Variable to DZAI and the ai at missions wont spawn any more any ideas?

[ThaThing]

Anyone knows if it would be possible to add a timeout on the missions,

so they timeout/delete after like 15-30 min, and spawn a new one like when they finish normally ?

[seb]

Hmm i seem to be getting this in the error logs, and some missions do not spawn AI,

 

I get the crates to spawn tho...

If yes, there's a high chance the HACKED BOX Check (_CHB) setting is turned on and you won't be able to customize the AH so that _CHB = false; this will usually result in the AH removing mission cargo crates.

I host with Xstream and installed infistar myself. _CHB is set to false though. :(

Greetings from the MSC Splendida thats a big ship .holy sh..

[prosims]

Enjoy your trip Fuchs! have a nice hoildays! I have a question.

 

If I insert these lines (see below) in  dayz_server\compile\server_updateObject.sqf as you say in the description of version 0.2.6 https://github.com/TheFuchs/EMS-Epoch-Mission-System

 

if (_object getVariable "Sarge" == 1) exitWith {};

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {
//if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then
if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1)) then

 

Items which you place in cars, tents, etc are not saved in sql database. The positions of the cars do not save as well. I have to remove these lines in order to get it working back. Any mistake here?

 

Is it bad if I leave the missiona working without these lines? (I do not understand what these lines are responsible for)

[IGoGI Teasy]

think i fixed it..... now i just have DZAI and EMS running...

 

i changed every "Sarge" variable to "DZAI" (everywhere e.g. in all mission files where "Sarge" were used or see below.... in server_updateObject.sqf

 

 

if (_object getVariable "DZAI" == 1) exitWith {};

 

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {

if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["DZAI",0] != 1)) then

{

_object_position = getPosATL _object;

    _isNotOk = true;

};

};

 

AND i changed this in server_cleanup.fsm too

 

       "  if(vehicle _x != _x && !(vehicle _x in PVDZE_serverObjectMonitor) && (isPlayer _x) && (vehicle _x getVariable [""DZAI"",0] != 1) && !((typeOf vehicle _x) in DZE_safeVehicle)) then {" \n

      

at class vehicle_cleanup

 

 

and by the way.... the start missionpart

 

//----------InitMissions--------//
MissionGo = 0;
MissionGoMinor = 0;
if (isServer) then {
SMarray = ["SM1","SM2","SM3","SM4","SM5","SM6","SM7","SM8","SM9","SM10","SM11","SM12","SM13"];
[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\EMS\major\SMfinder.sqf"; //Starts major mission system
SMarray2 = ["SM1","SM2","SM3","SM4","SM5","SM6","SM7","SM8","SM9","SM10","SM11","SM12","SM13"];
[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\EMS\minor\SMfinder.sqf"; //Starts minor mission system
};
//---------EndInitMissions------//

 

should be in the init.sqf.... it didnt work in the server_functions.sqf by me

i am getting this similar to this error and the ai spawn fine i dont get an error and the ai dont spawn?? :/

[Fuchs]

Enjoy your trip Fuchs! have a nice hoildays! I have a question.

If I insert these lines (see below) in dayz_server\compile\server_updateObject.sqf as you say in the description of version 0.2.6 https://github.com/TheFuchs/EMS-Epoch-Mission-System

if (_object getVariable "Sarge" == 1) exitWith {};

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {

//if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then

if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1)) then

Items which you place in cars, tents, etc are not saved in sql database. The positions of the cars do not save as well. I have to remove these lines in order to get it working back. Any mistake here?

Is it bad if I leave the missiona working without these lines? (I do not understand what these lines are responsible for)

I had this problem a long time ago .thats really strange cause on my server its working. Also my admins didnt contacted me about this bug happening again ..so when im back i will look into it as ,could also be that i missed something which is running only on my end and which is may needed.

Some missions are bugged i know : i noticed dead ai on 2-3 missions on 2 i had no spawn and no mission ending... greetz from marseille

Is it bad if I leave the missiona working without these lines? (I do not understand what these lines are responsible for)

 

I had the same problem untill i found out that i at first misunderstood the part on how to change the server_updateObject.sqf.

 

In the install instructions is says:

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 {};

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {
//if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then
if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1)) then

but actually you only need to insert the line that says: 

if (_object getVariable "Sarge" == 1) exitWith {};

Then change the following:

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {
	if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then
	{
		_object_position = getPosATL _object;
    	_isNotOk = true;
	};
};

to

if (!_parachuteWest and !(locked _object)) then {
	//if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0") then
	if (_objectID == "0" && _uid == "0" && (vehicle _object getVariable ["Sarge",0] != 1)) then
	{
		_object_position = getPosATL _object;
    	_isNotOk = true;
	};
};

Well that atleast fixed the problem for me, so if that's not your problem then i don't know, but atleast i might have helped someone who misunderstood the instructions as i did :)
