[Release] Fixed Kill/Death Messages

It's defined in variables.sqf within my mission. I'll try init.sqf. Defining the others as false did fix the error. Everyone just dies of natural causes now.

21:54:57 "Accidental Death: Jhhassen died of natural causes!"

21:54:58 "PVP Attack: B 1-1-F:1 (Jhhassen) REMOTE was hit by B 1-2-B:1 (dawson) REMOTE with FN_FAL from 51.7323m with 1.40945 dmg"

21:54:59 "Player is Null FAILED: Exiting, player sync: <NULL-object>"

21:54:59 Server: Object info 23:11 not found.

21:54:59 "PVP Attack: B 1-1-F:1 (Jhhassen) REMOTE was hit by B 1-2-B:1 (dawson) REMOTE with FN_FAL from 40.4258m with 1.40696 dmg"

Make sure have this in your Init.sqf

enableRadio true;

and

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;
DZE_DeathMsgSide = true;
DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

Alright I have done this and messages are working now. But players now involuntary broadcast the weather in side chat!! Very weird!

Then you might just wanna use

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

and

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = false;
DZE_DeathMsgSide = false;

and

enableRadio false;

Try this

if (!isDedicated) then {
	player_build = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\snap_pro\player_build.sqf";
	snap_build = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\snap_pro\snap_build.sqf";
	dayz_spaceInterrupt = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\snap_pro\dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf";
	call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\player_murderMenu.sqf";
};

Cheers it is working now, thanks :)

Defined in init.sqf instead of variables if that makes a difference.

I made a var to do time - lasthit and added it to the logging so I can see what that number is when it doesn't work properly.

I am curious as to what that number is when I get PVP logs of bullet hits but it being of natural causes.... may not even be useful if somehow defining those variables in init.sqf instead of variables.sqf causes my issue.

Is _lastHit in seconds?

justchil · November 28, 2014

I'm not sure. I would think so but I died in 10-15 seconds and that number was .30

Not all of those but a good bit were PVP kills. I'm not 100% sure the math is working on the logging but I'm checking... but it appears _lastHit is not getting subtracted from time although a few of them do seem that way.

We fixed most of those issues by setting a 2 second delay timer at the start e.g.

private ["_characterID","_minutes","_playerID","_infected","_victim","_victimName","_killer","_killerName","_weapon","_distance","_message","_randmsg","_loc_message","_key","_death_record];

_characterID     = _this select 0;

_victim setVariable ["bodyName",_victimName,true];

sleep 2;

_killerName = _victim getVariable["AttackedByName","unknown"];

        } else {
            _killerName = format["[AI] %1", _killerName];
        };
    
        _message         = format["[KILL] %1 was killed with a %2 from about %3m",_victimName,_weapon,round(_distance)];

        "met Chuck Norris as a zombie",
        "tried to tame a zombie"
    ] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
    _message         = format["[BREAKFAST] %1 %2",_victimName,_randmsg];
    _loc_message     = format["PDEATH: %1 (%2) got killed by a zombie",_victimName,_playerID];
    
};

RemoteMessage = ["global",_message];
publicVariable "RemoteMessage";

diag_log _loc_message;

That's a lot different from what's posted here :D I see what you're doing and that may solve my issue :D

justchil · November 28, 2014

People are super happy! Working decent now.

Rocket launchers, satchel charges and shooting someone that's inside a car says they have killed themselves. Not sure about that yet.

Can you share your edits?

justchil · November 29, 2014

I will post it up when I clean it up a bit. I am having problems with some sort of lag towards the end of restarts... the messages stop working a bit D:

f3cuk · November 29, 2014

Server lag will do that, either sleep 2 wont be enough or it slowly turns into sleep ∞

Gr8 · November 29, 2014

awesome, ill be waiting for it

Vindomire · November 29, 2014

Working great!

fobi3s · December 7, 2014

how can i implement this on my server? i changed the 2 files and packed the pbo dayz_server but didnt do anything. thanks

justchil · December 9, 2014

Still working on this. Actually haven't been working on it lol. With BE allowing RE's to come in we've had our hands full with script kiddies for a bit. People are happy they are working better than before. sleep 2 definitely helped I think overall it just needs a bit more attention to have it working close to perfect.

shadow_fl · December 29, 2014

Anyone able to work this out yet? Mine are still broken at high pop.

Luna · January 11, 2015

Hi

I have implemented this on my server, and it is work much better then it use to however I have these 2 problem - Anyone know how to fix this ?

Problem 1:

We get a lot broadcasts saying ‘Died of natural causes’ I think mainly when players die to one shot kills.

"Accidental Death: X died of natural causes!"
"PVP Attack: B 1-1-F:1 (X) REMOTE was hit by B 1-1-C:1 (Y) REMOTE with Winchester1866 from 24.7815m with 1.4604 dmg"

Problem 2:

This I written in the RPT log to – I think is when you get killed by an armored car / chopper

"PVP Attack: B 1-3-A:1 (X) REMOTE was hit by <NULL-object> with Unknown from 1e+010m with 6.24675 dmg"

Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this ?

DangerRuss · January 12, 2015

Someone should get this working so it shows the pictures of the weapon/vechicle and displays at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom and just using classnames. That would be sexy

Luna · January 12, 2015

Sound like you are looking for this

DangerRuss · January 12, 2015

Sound like you are looking for this

Yea I actually found that after I posted here, seems to need a little work but we'll give it a shot
