Add items to the traders?

[Guest]

Is it possible to add new items to the traders to enable buying\selling for each new item? Like adding new guns if we choose to use the @mas weapons addon?

[BenR]

It is possible yes however it requires you to have @Emod (available on A3Launcher) installed to override features that epoch by default compiles. Then you can override the CfgPricing.hpp and choose your own weapons and prices. Also handy for overriding server files which you will have to do. Simply add your own copy of the file (with your edits) in your mission and then use compilefinal to tell your server to use this.

how to use the EMOD? can we have a clear description?

[BenR]

Emod is a very small mod which essentially enables you to call compile a file before any other mod loads. If you open A3Launcher (http://www.a3launcher.com)and download Emod (0.2) and wait a second for that to download. Then press settings (in the top right) and press "open mod folder", this will take you to your Arma 3 directory. Go into Emod02 and then look at the Readme.txt (I will summarize below).

 

Simply load this mod after epoch:

-mod=@Epoch;@EpochHive;@Emod

(This is the instruction for loading the mod in the arma launch parameters)

 

In your description.ext (mission file) add the following:

 

class CfgEmod {

    override = 1; // Set to 1 to enable the override

    file = "maca134\precompile.sqf"; // path to the file to be call compile'd before Epoch's compiles

};

 

(The directory above can be changed to wherever your precompile will be located, it is essentially an sqf file that will define variables and run anything you would like to run before Epoch)

 

And you're done, its as simple as that. Then add whatever you would like to add in there (a quick example below).

 

Random_Function = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "Custom\Random_Function.sqf";

 

Again read through the Readme.txt inside the mod folder as it contains all the info required!

Keep getting this error when trying to load into the server. 

 

Warning Message: Script x\addons\a3_epoch_server\DQR\precompile.sqf not found

 

Any help would be much appreciated. You've already help me a ton by sharing this much information.

OK stupid question time . 

 

I have been looking at this as it sound exactly what i need for my server , BUT when i download it i do not see any precompile.sqf.   so , where is it  or how do i make one ?  any input from the more experienced users would be greatly appreciated.

You create a file and save it as .sqf.

 

Hell could just call it motherfucker.sqf then add this to the discription.ext

class CfgEmod {
    override = 1; 
    file = "Motherfucker.sqf"; 
};

Then you need to create a file to compile final and such.. But then you would need to know how to add in the cfgpricing defines..  If you are getting stuck at this precompile step you really shouldn't go down the mas+epoch route (since it will require you to trail blaze).

I couldn't get it to work right on my server.  Called an sqf file in description.ext inside which I then did a  #include CfgPricing.hpp, which seems to me should have worked.  But I got errors out of it and it wouldn't load.  I've got a thread up on the CCG forums about it but no response as of yet.  

[nishma]

Thanks for the response . looks like i will have to do a lot more reading before i even go near this . 

 

thanks again for taking the time to answer my question.

my RPT

20:48:54 Could not load 'CfgPricing.hpp'. Extension not in allowedPreprocessFileExtensions Listed

Tip?

[Humpabry]

got this all running the only problem i have is....

 

the @mas guns i cant sell even though i added them but can sell the magazines which is wierd

[Humpabry]

#include "cfg\CfgPricing.hpp"

 

class CfgEmod {

    override = 1; // Set to 1 to enable the override

    file = "custom\a3_epoch_code\init\precompile.sqf"; 

};

 

and have full price list in that directory but for some reason it does not let me sell the guns from @mas still..did i miss something? ;p

 

no mags wont sell too

 

do i need to call this  #include "cfg\CfgPricing.hpp"  from the precompile.sqf file too?

Has anyone had much luck with this mod I have follow what little instructions come with the mod with no luck.

[Ducky]

Yeah i know i have to do the pre compile for emod but what do i have to do this is my precompile

 

if (isServer) then {
CfgPricing                    = compile preprocessFile "SpecOps\Config\CfgPricing.hpp";
};

[BenR]

The config file cannot be edited with Emod, you can however overwrite the config file references within the epoch trading system (anything relating to cfgpricing) with missionconfigfile and then include the CfgPricing in your description.ext. CfgPricing is a config entry, not a variable, so trying to do this

 

if (isServer) then {

CfgPricing                    = compile preprocessFile "SpecOps\Config\CfgPricing.hpp";
};

 

will not work or do anything. The missionconfigfile is used for anything inside the description.ext (use the #include feature to make it a bit cleaner), this will then make your CfgPricing accessible through missionconfigfile >> CfgPricing. Then there are 2 client files and server files that must be edited from configfile to missionconfigfile where it uses CfgPricing to force the server to reference to your custom CfgPricing.

[Ducky]

Would you be able to explain how to do this???  I already have it in the description.ext in the include but i dont know what else to do???

[Paradox121]

Where i can find CfgPricing.hpp

???

 

greez

[Ducky]

You find it in the epoch client files in one of the pbo's its called a3_epoch_config i think

[Humpabry]

Where i can find CfgPricing.hpp

???

 

greez

you need to create a CfgPricing or copy the 1 from server and add your extra weapons to it.

 

dont ask me how to get it to overwrite yet still trying to figure it out my self..i have the #include CfgPricing in my description.ext but thats not enough YET!

[Humpabry]

so which are the files that need to be edited from configfile to missionconfigfile? :P

 

diag_log 'EMOD: Precompile Running';

EPOCH_npcTraderAdd = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\compile\traders\OP_npcTraderAdd.sqf";
EPOCH_startNpcTrade = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\compile\traders\OP_startNpcTrade.sqf";
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\init\fn_init.sqf";
diag_log 'EMOD: Precompile Finished';

 

thats wat i have so far but still not there..guns wont sell yet!

[Paradox121]

I havent the CfgPricing  file in a3_epoch_config  ;:(

[Paradox121]

Btw. i havent this a3_epoch_config  .pbo 

[Ducky]

Ok the file is in your epoch client files in the addon folder you will see a pbo a3_epoch_config.pbo

[Paradox121]

Ah have them thx .

Okay now i have edit the CfgPricing what must i do now ?

[Ducky]

look how its done and then work it out for yourself
