Status Bar

[piX]

Hey Guys, 

 

I saw some people, somewhere along the line - asking about implementing a simple status bar at the bottom of the screen. I will show you how to do it, this is my first time ever explaining how to implement something like this, so forgive me if I do anything wrong/explain incorrectly. This is a very simple thing to implement, so I take no credit for being a pro :P

 

There may be a better way to do this, I'm only posting what I've used, as it has worked fine.

 

Secondly, all credits go where they are due - to the creator "LifeIsAJoke". I do not take any ownership or claim to have designed this script. I am simply showing how to set it up for Epoch.

 

Step 1

 

Download this .RAR archive that contains the "statusBar.hpp" and "statusBar.sqf". https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yytpxeofoz7r6v/statusBar.rar?dl=0

 

Extract these files to your ROOT Mission Folder. (With init, description etc)

 

Step 2

 

Open your description.sqf. At the BOTTOM, add:

class RscTitles
{
#include "statusBar.hpp"
}

Step 3

 

Open your init.sqf. At the BOTTOM, add:

[] execVM "statusBar.sqf";

Step 4

 

Battleye Filters

 

In your scripts.txt, change the value for line 21 from 7 to 1.

I will update this post ASAP with the correct filters. For now, this will just log the restriction rather than kick.

 

Customization

 

Changing the colour of the text:

 

On line 30 of statusBar.hpp, you will see this:

color = "#FFFFFF";

change the #FFFFFF to whatever colour you would like, as a colour reference, use http://html-color-codes.info/.

Here are the filters I use:

 

scripts.txt, line 18, (7 playableunits):

!="round diag_fps" !="(240-(round(serverTime/60)))" !="(count playableUnits)" !="EPOCH_playerCrypto" !="EPOCH_playerHunger" !="EPOCH_playerThirst" !="EPOCH_playerSoiled" !="EPOCH_playerStamina" !="(damage player)"

Can't check your dropbox file from here to see what your status bar actually has, but the above covers a few extras I added to my bar.

I have no init.sqf file in my MPMissions folder?

There isn't by default, you need to create one.

[ulli_123]

ok,
then I have the description.sqf create yourself ?.
Must be packed the 4 files to *.pbo, or do they remain so?

 

EDIT:

Ok, I get it

I'm using a different version status bar so the file is slightly different. Can post if you want to look though.
