A3 Epoch Server, What can be changed?

Going to try to give a quick run down of everything that can be changed in 0.2.5

=== WARNING! REQUIRES EDITING A PBO ===
And anything in the @EpochHive/Addons/a3_epoch_server_settings.pbo may also be changed but keep in mind we will be pushing updates to this config from time to time. The mission pbo's may also be changed but will also be updated from time to time.

worldSize: controls how much of the map is used, this should not need changed unless running on another map than altis or stratis.
containerPos: The location of shipwrecks that spawn small green containers full of precious metals and gems.
telePos: not used atm.
oneWayTelePos: This is the enter and exit locations of the teleport pads on debug island.
propsPos: This is the trader city objects
staticNpcPos: locations of static traders found at trader cities.

Well, i only wanted to change some variables like the spawnchance of the antagonists and stuff like that... Actually Epoch feels good, but on the completly wrong map. Without 60+ people on the server you can loot for hours without getting into action, because you can loot everything everywhere... wanted to create some hotspots (they are actually completly missing), and create more of the random antagonist events.

 

I understand that you want clean feedback, but feels bad to not be able to touch the code at all...

I will be adding config vars for spawnchance of the antagonists soon and we have much more on the way for 0.3+. Also, we are adding support on our side for the AiA terrain pack with 0.3 so that will open up a lot of maps for use with Epoch. I and assure you it will not stay this way forever.

[MisterT]

Love the mod. Great job vbawol

[Steven1230]

Is there a way to fix the Restriction #0 when trying to use the admin panel? I have looked around but have not figured out anything. Other than that love the mod thus far. :)

 

My UID is also inside of the epochAH.hpp file so that isn't the reason. 

[avdieking]

We did not simply edit the DLL we made it. The DLL checks the a3_epoch_server.pbo to make sure it is compatible and not changed. This does prevent changes to the pbo but only so we get proper feedback and bug reports and not on a 1001+ different changes.

 

The idea it to encourage people to make actual server side mods or mission edits to do what they want and not just simply changing our code. It has been proven in the past that server admins will fix a "problem" then never report is as a bug then complain on the next release because they have to edit the files again.

and how do you call a sqf from the mod without changing the server.pbo?

[McPimpin]

and how do you call a sqf from the mod without changing the server.pbo?

From the mission.pbo just like we have done in arma2 epoch.

[calamity]

I have seen servers with high loot spawn chance..

howz that done ??

They lie so people join up, you can't modify them yet.

They do? :D

[Richie]

FFS you smart arse, time to nudge you on Steam, stalk your forum and lurk on TS :p I'll find you

[avdieking]

From the mission.pbo just like we have done in arma2 epoch.

there is no init.sqf?

[dirtypede]

Is there a way too add more vanilla vehicles in my server?

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Is there a way too add more vanilla vehicles in my server?

 

Edit the "allowedVehiclesList" in your epochconfig.hpp file.

[dirtypede]

Thank you. It worked now. I had to changed DB number before it worked. What about vanilla weapons??

[brillo_pad]

there is no init.sqf?

make one.

[Steven1230]

Found out BEC is causing the public variable restriction #0 for the built in admin panel. I turned it off on my test server and now i can use the admin panel

 

Nvm still getting the error on my main server. no clue how to fix it.

[FrenzyFire000]

Not true. Cracked servers all over the place have do it. Most of them have even wrote in the mission description it has been cracked.

 

Tons of lot and lots of sappers and cloaks.

adminMenu_High[] = {}; //{{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME"},{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME2"},...};

adminMenu_HighSetting[] = {"PLAYER-TELEPORT","MAP-TELEPORT","TARGET-HEAL","TARGET-AMMO","TARGET-KILL","VEHICLEFLIP","BANPANNEL"};

adminMenu_Low[] = {}; //{{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME"},{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME2"},...};

adminMenu_LowSetting[] = {"PLAYER-TELEPORT","MAP-TELEPORT","TARGET-HEAL"};

adminMenu_BanReasons[]

 

So does that mean that "Low" admins can not ban, vs "High" admins?

[cen]

You can put whatever settings you want in each

I added an admin to the low section and he can still spawn things. Why?

Set it just like: adminMenu_Low[] = {"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","Name"}; //{{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME"},{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME2"},...};

adminMenu_LowSetting[] = {"PLAYER-TELEPORT","MAP-TELEPORT","TARGET-HEAL"};

A question about this file @EpochHive/epochAH.hpp. Who owns the right to it? Can server providers look this file (write-protected). Because if you provide it, so it should be a small admin tool and the server providers look it, so they can only use it, that would defeat the whole purpose of it.

This is off topic, but tell me who is doing this as that certainly should not be the case.

[MrEnzO]

It's fixed. They said it was a "honest mistake", thats why it was there id in there.

Hey Guys,

 

first of all a big thanks to the Epoch Dev Team for the early release of the Server Files.

You did a really good job.

 

Our Arma3 Epoch Server is running and very well populated.

So it was just a question of time till the first Players are asking for some extra stuff. ;)

 

Is it okay if i install some soundmods like:

-http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?170226-J-S-R-S-2-2-Soundmod

-http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18767

-http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26932

 

I mean all what i have to do is to insert the Keys and to edit the battleeye filters on the Server.

i dont change anything at your Vanilla files.

I know that you guys dont like it if someone is trying to modify your Vanilla version, but maybe this is okay.

 

Please give me a feedback i dont want to get any trouble.

 

Greetz

should be the following

 

adminMenu_Owner[] = {}; //{{"76561198016036463","bang"}},{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME"},...};

 

You left out an extra } at the end of your name.

 

For example:

adminMenu_Owner[] = {}; //{{"76561198016036463","bang"},"{"76561198016036463","bang"},{"76561198016036463","bang"}}{"STEAMID","ADMINNAME"},...};
