Roaming AI in Towns Release

Thanks, script is loading and AI is spawning but no player damage. :(

[MisterT]

That is a common issue. Make sure all your files are up to date. My AI shoot and cause damage.  Use google to find how to fix this common issue (A3 AI bullets cause no damage to players). If you cant figure it out within 24 hours. I will post you a fix. Happy searching.

 

SideNote: I use stock epoch files and the A.I. spawn and kill fine. Are you using a different antihack than stock?

The standard epoch AI cause damage and the AI fom works fine too. Seems like was the same problem, i tried to fix it with infos from that thread but i am a script noob :(

And YES, i use a different AntiHack than stock! (...i know nobody wan´t to hear this here!)

 

Does i have to update some stock files? I use Epoch 0.2.5.2 and A3 1.36.128579

[Lord1385]

Works this Script with Bornholm and the sem?

[1Man]

I would say no looks like the coords are cities in altis

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Are these armed AI or just people that walk around?

[MisterT]

Same AI gear as UAV spawn. Yes Armed. they Spawn in houses.

[MisterT]

This will work on any map, just change cords

 

 

 

Joker for testing please remove the antihack you are using. Than test. That antihack you use will cause this issue.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Any way to randomize the chance of them spawning? It looks like right now they will definitely spawn no mater what?

[MisterT]

Joker here is a hint (couldnt wait 24 hours :P)

 

epoch_server_loadplayer.sqf

 

_av allowDamage false;

change to

_av allowDamage true;

 

 

If your still not sure private msg me.

[MisterT]

Im going to add 40% chance spawning (percentage editable)

Currently getting Spawn selection done, with halo/ground option after this is done I will add the percentage for AI spawns in towns

[cheech420now]

I get this Error. Anyone point me to where to put the missing characters?

If i change the value _av allowDamage from false to true the server crashes when first player join :huh:

[MisterT]

Here is random percentage @ 39% AI will Spawn

Here you go

Use this generate_zone.sqf if you want percentage 

 

Change the random (1) > 0.39) to what you want

[MisterT]

If i change the value _av allowDamage from false to true the server crashes when first player join :huh:

What you mean crashes? Did you remake the pbo correctly? what the errors in client and server rpt? Change false to true wont cause a crash

[Joker_xGERx]

Ok, what i do...

• Unpack @epochhive/addons/a3_epoch_server.pbo
• Open compile/epoch_player/EPOCH_server_loadPlayer.sqf
• Search for "_av allowDamage false;" and change it to "_av allowDamage true;"
• Copy/Paste the a3_epoch_server Folder back to the .PBO
• Start Server

Server is starting up, when 1st player join the mission is loading and then the server crashes/shut down.

Look below this comment

 

DISABLE infistar.  I know sometimes infistar uses its own damagehandler. Try to disable your antihack, than use a stock pbo.  I dont have this issue using stock pbos.

Also did you create another @Myupdatedfile.   Remember Epoch uses a DLL crc check. So you have to add another @yourmod with the new pbo in it. Than add @yourmod to your server startup.

 

in other words.

 

compile pbo file. Create folder called @deeznuts, open that folder create another folder called addons

drag the pbo you just made into @deeznuts\addons\ new.pbo

 

On your STARTUP addd @Epoch;@EpochHive;@Deeznuts

 

Get what Im saying?

 

There is 10 ways to do this.

OK, what you want to say is the game does not allow any changes on the .pbo´s in @epochhive because of verifying that files are original!?

If i create a new folder i.e. @mychanges/addons and put in there a copy of the a3_epoch_server.pbo where i do my changes is there no conflict with the .pbo in the @epochhive folder? So i have one EPOCH_server_loadPlayer.sqf with the value of "false" and one with "true" :huh:

[MisterT]

If you create another you will be fine. MSG your skype

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Could you tell me how I could add something that puts information in the log for debugging purposes? For example, "AI spawned at (coords)" just so I can be sure this is working? Also, can you tell me the location of one of the coordinates so I can go to that location to see if I can find the AI? Right now I have no way to know for sure which towns have spawns.

[Darth_Rogue]

If you're admin on the server just turn on map ESP and you should be able to see them.  

[BetterDeadThanZed]

If you're admin on the server just turn on map ESP and you should be able to see them.  

 

In that case, they might not be spawning because I tried that, unless I just wasn't within range of one of the spawn points.

[Stickells54]

Try using MapESP
