blckeagls' Real Zombies v0.0.5

[blckeagls]

This script spawns zombies when players enter cities.   It is very much in alpha, and does not spawn 100% of the time for some reason.

This script takes use of "Shaun's Simple Zombie Script"

STEPS
1. Download and Unzip this: ZombiesVersion0.0.0.5.zip

2. Add the zombies folder to your mission folder.

3. Add the sounds folder to your mission folder.

4. Add zskin.jpg to the root of your missions folder.
5. Add this to your descriptions.ext at the top.

#include "zombie\zombie.hpp"

6. Add this to your mission folder init.sqf

if (isDedicated) then {
	[] execVM "\q\addons\zombiemission\init.sqf";
};
[] execVM "zombie\compiles.sqf";
"playZSoundHurt" addPublicVariableEventHandler {(_this select 1) call fncNextSound};
"playZSound" addPublicVariableEventHandler {(_this select 1) call fncNextSound};

7. place ZombieMission.pbo in your @EpochHive\Addons folder

You are now complete


KNOWN ISSUES:

- Zombies do not look exactly like zombies...  (Hard to setTexture and get them working to look like zombies without editing client side requirements)

- They do not always spawn when player enter cities

If anyone has any other cool ideas they would like me to make..  Personal Message me...  I'll work on them and post them on forum when completed if I like them...

Does the ZombieMission folder need to be packaged as a PBO or can it just be dropped in @EpochHive as-is?

It should be packed into a pbo or added to an existing custom pbo

 

I'll post one as a PBO and add the execution script in the mission edit

EDIT:  It is now added and edited instructions

Testing this out on Chernarus.

 

Does not work on chernarus map. Server does not implement the coding as needed.

 

Will work on a solution

Works on Chernarus for me...

 

Are you getting any errors?

[BlackPlague_81st]

No errors, but the server does not load the mission file.

No errors, but the server does not load the mission file.

How do you know this?

Like it states, for some reason it doesnt spawn 100% of the time...  try moving around different cities...

[BlackPlague_81st]

Because I sat on the map of chernarus for a good 10 minutes, checked the RPT file, and the game was still waiting for the mission to load.

Because I sat on the map of chernarus for a good 10 minutes, checked the RPT file, and the game was still waiting for the mission to load.

where you see this: 

 

"b_g_survivor_F" createUnit [_coords, _aiGroup, '[this] execVM "zombie\shaun.sqf"', .1, "PRIVATE"];
//diag_log format["Spawned Zombie %1: %3 @ %2",_num,_pos,_ai];

in the server side init.sqf

replace it with this:

 

"b_g_survivor_F" createUnit [_coords, _aiGroup, '[this] execVM "zombie\shaun.sqf"', .1, "PRIVATE"];
diag_log format["Spawned Zombie %1: %3 @ %2",_num,_pos,_ai];

Then check your RPT log and see if you see "Spawned Zombie XXXXX: XXXXX @ XXXXX"

That is a client side RPT...  Need server side RPT....

This code pretty much runs all server side.

[BlackPlague_81st]

10:58:41 NetServer::finishDestroyPlayer(1940700175): DESTROY immediately after CREATE, both cancelled

 

 

That was the server side RPT.

Can you post server side RPT?

You didn't even enter the server?  How would you know it is working or not?

Hi blckeagls,

 

I have the same issue as BlackPlague_81st. I have installed as mentioned in your instructions and after I restarted the server and try to join it, I stuck at a black screen - never get in the Lobby. The server is up and running, but I can't join it.

 

Edit:
I can only press the ESC button to go back to the multiplayer screen.

So long,
B3nzi

Who is your server host?

[BlackPlague_81st]

Changed

 

if (isDedicated) then {
    [] execVM "\q\addons\zombiemission\init.sqf";
};
[] execVM "zombie\compiles.sqf";

 

to

 

if (isDedicated) then {
    [] execVM "\x\addons\zombiemission\init.sqf";
};
[] execVM "zombie\compiles.sqf";

 

Checking again

[blckeagls]

That will give you "Cannot find script"

[blckeagls]

This script is designed for a dedicated server (using the arma3server.exe)..  this can be a game host provider or a dedicated one you set up

Trying to launch this through the Arma3 client as a server wont work

 

 

If you are trying to do that change:

if (isDedicated) 

to 

if (isServer)
