Replace debug monitor with a custom one

[Joerivang]

Hi,

 

I would like to use a custom debug monitor when i press insert in my server, i've seen some on the internet which are static and i used it before but i want it to be toggable like the original debug monitor.

 

I made a file called custom_monitor.sqf:

[player,4,true,(getPosATL player)] spawn player_alertZombies;
 
    _kills =        player getVariable['zombieKills',0];
    _killsH =        player getVariable['humanKills',0];
    _killsB =        player getVariable['banditKills',0];
    _humanity =        player getVariable['humanity',0];
    _headShots =    player getVariable['headShots',0];
    
	hintSilent parseText format ["
    <t size='1.25'font='Bitstream'align='center'color='#39B0FF'>DMIK DayZ Epoch</t><br/>
	<t size='1.15' font='Bitstream'align='center' color='#39B0FF'>www.dmik.nl/epoch</t><br/><br/>
    <t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='left' color='#FF0000'>Blood</t><t size='1' font='Bitstream'align='right'>%1</t><br/>

    <t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='left'color='#DDDDDD'>Murders</t><t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='right'>%3</t><br/>
    <t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='left'color='#DDDDDD'>Bandit Kills</t><t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='right'>%4</t><br/>
    <t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='left'color='#DDDDDD'>Zombie Kills</t><t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='right'>%5</t><br/>
	<t size='0.95' font='Bitstream' align='left' color='#DDDDDD'>Players Online: </t><t size='0.95 'font='Bitstream' align='right'>%6</t><br/><br/>
    <t size='1'font='Bitstream'align='center'color='#39B0FF'>Restart in %7 minutes</t><br/>",
    
	r_player_blood,round _humanity,_killsH,_killsB,_kills,(count playableUnits),(240-(round(serverTime) / 60))
    ];

Then i added the following line to the init.sqf: (the file is placed in the folder scripts so that's not the problem).

[] execVM "scripts\custom_monitor.sqf";

When i press insert, the default debug just comes up. Are there anymore actions i need to take to make it work?

If i add this to my compiles.sqf, will it work?

playerstats = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\custom_monitor.sqf";

Be interested if you can get this to work, I am looking for the same thing. I also don't want the debug monitor static a lot of people don't like it and its conflicting with my weapons cache and mission system hints.

I have got it to work using the following tutorial:

 

https://github.com/nomadichayward/dayz_dual_debug_monitor

 

You can also do this with your own debug of course, you don't have to use the dual debug monitor. Just look at the part where he explains about the compiles.sqf.

Yeah I don't have the code he's telling me to change in my compiles.sqf wtf
