How to add a watermark to the bottom left corner of the screen

Here you have it.
 
I'll try my best to explain the process.
 
You'll need to edit two files:
 init.sqf
 description.ext
 
on your init.sqf, at the top of the file, after the following line:

dayz_previousID = 0; 

add the following variable, set to whatever text you wish to appear on the lower-left corner of the screen:  (change "MyServer" to whatever you wish...)

server_name = "MyServer";

Then, at the very bottom of the init.sqf file (outside the server blocks), add the followind snippet of code:

	[] spawn {
		waitUntil {(!isNull Player) and (alive Player) and (player == player)};
		waituntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 46))};
		5 cutRsc ["wm_disp","PLAIN"];
		((uiNamespace getVariable "wm_disp") displayCtrl 1) ctrlSetText server_name;
	};

save you init.sqf file and, edit the next one (description.ext).
 
Then find the RscTitles class section, and paste the code below inside the RscTitles class.

	class wm_disp {
					idd = -1;
					onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['wm_disp', _this select 0]";
					fadein = 0;
					fadeout = 0;
					duration = 10e10;
					controlsBackground[] = {};
					objects[] = {};
					class controls {
						class wm_text2 {
						idc = 1;
						x = safeZoneX+0.027;//safeZoneW*0.01;
						y = safeZoneY+safeZoneH-0.16;
						w = 1.151*safeZoneH;
						h = 0.057*safeZoneH;
						shadow = 2;
							class Attributes
								{
								font = "EtelkaNarrowMediumPro";
								color = "#24FFFFFF";
								align = "left"; // put "center" here if you want some background
								valign = "middle";
								shadow = 2;
								};
						colorBackground[] = { 1, 0.3, 0, 0 };  // uncomment and increase 4th number to have a background
						font = "EtelkaNarrowMediumPro";
						size = 0.05*safeZoneH;
						type = 13;
						style = 0;
						text="";
						};
					};
	};

**if you dont have a RscTitles section, create it and folow the previous step (below it's the needed lines to create the section):

***paste/create the RscTitles class section, before the RscText class section***

class RscTitles {
///////insert the wm_display code here***
};

Save the file, pack your mission and upload it.

That should sort you out.
 
Cheers.

Hey Newbie, 

 

I tried this code and it had me stuck on the 'Waiting for Host' Screen. 

 

I input the code exactly like you stated, looked it over a few times, but didn't see anything wrong. 

 

What did you mean by 'outside the server blocks'?
