[REQUEST] "Server Info" Scroll Option

Tricks · January 28, 2015

Hey all,

I was hoping someone had a script that would allow players to hit "Server INfo" in their scroll menu to see the rules and feature of the server. Anyone have something like this? Thank you :)

Suppe · January 28, 2015

hey,

yes, this is easy:

first create a Menu.sqf with:

private["_veh", "_idx"];
Sleep 10;
_idx = -1;

while {alive player} do {
if(_idx == -1) then {
_idx = (vehicle player) addaction [("" + ("TEXTINGAME") +""),"ActionMenu.sqf","",5,false,true,"",""];
_veh = vehicle player;
};
if (_veh != vehicle player) then
{
_veh removeAction _idx;
_idx = -1;
};
Sleep 2;
};

than, create a ActionMenu.sqf with something like this:

_pathtotools = "your path\...";
_EXECscript1 = 'player execVM "'+_pathtotools+'%1"';
//customise these menus to fit your server
//menu
        menu =
        [
           ["",true],
               ["Server Info", [2], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text1.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
               ["Server Rules", [4], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text2.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
               ["Tips", [6], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text3.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
               ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
           ["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]
        ];
];

and the text things look like this:

"Text1" hintC parseText format ["
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
"];

sleep 10;

Text = put your text in

Tricks · January 28, 2015

Thank you, I will try this tonight! :)

Suppe · January 29, 2015

ahhh, sry... u need only one text... then only:

create a Menu.sqf with:

private["_veh", "_idx"];
Sleep 10;
_idx = -1;

while {alive player} do {
if(_idx == -1) then {
_idx = (vehicle player) addaction [("" + ("Server Info") +""),"Info.sqf","",5,false,true,"",""];
_veh = vehicle player;
};
if (_veh != vehicle player) then
{
_veh removeAction _idx;
_idx = -1;
};
Sleep 2;
};

create a Info.sqf with:

"Server Info" hintC parseText format ["
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t> 
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t> 
"];

sleep 10;

Text = your Text

but this scroll menu is not so good, that addActions have become a lag causer in Arma 3.

Tricks · January 29, 2015

Suppe,

how could I got 2 or 3 deep? So when u click on "Server Info" you get 3 options like "Rules, Tips, Info". Then when you click on one of those you get the information?

cheech420now · January 29, 2015

Is there a way to put stuff like this in the map briefing window?

Suppe · January 29, 2015

Suppe,

yes, with the first version i post.... I have edited this again.... should look something like this... but I have not tested now....

and for that you have to insert BE filters.

Is there a way to put stuff like this in the map briefing window?

yes, its a arma mission, so u can add a briefing, ask goggle for arma 3 add briefing :D

cheech420now · January 29, 2015

I tried every way i found and they dont show up in the Map briefing window.

_pathtotools = "your path\..."; <---------------------------------------------------------

_EXECscript1 = 'player execVM "'+_pathtotools+'%1"';

//customise these menus to fit your server

//menu

menu =

[

["",true],

["Server Info", [2], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text1.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["Server Rules", [4], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text2.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["Tips", [6], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text3.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],

["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]

];

so wat is the pathtools?

Humpabry · January 30, 2015

so as admin i get the option for this..but normal players dont. but even the admin i press the menu and get no sub folder to rules/server info etc

Humpabry · January 30, 2015

ok got it working normal players acn see it too...just cant see anything after the first menu..i press the server info button and nothing appears :/

Suppe · January 30, 2015

not hte right path.

_pathtotools = "your path\..."; <---------------------------------------------------------

_EXECscript1 = 'player execVM "'+_pathtotools+'%1"';

//customise these menus to fit your server

//menu

menu =

[

["",true],

["Server Info", [2], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text1.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["Server Rules", [4], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text2.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["Tips", [6], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text3.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],

["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],

["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]

];

];

so wat is the pathtools?

in this case the _pathtotools are text1.sqf ,text2.sqf and text3.sqf... so the folder were he find the scripts.

_pathtotools = "YOURSCRIPTFOLDERNAME\";

Humpabry · January 30, 2015

so i have my text1 + 2 + 3 in a folder called scripts

_pathtotools = "scripts\";

thats right or im totally loosing my marbles?

ty for the reply also :)

Humpabry · February 2, 2015

so anyone got the working with right path in the pathtools?

Suppe · February 2, 2015

so anyone got the working with right path in the pathtools?

sorry, had little time the last days.... try to call the text1.sqf direkt, like this:

//customise these menus to fit your server
//menu
menu =
[
["",true],
["Server Info", [2], "", -5, [["[] execVM "YOURSCRIPTFOLDER\text1.sqf";"]]], "1", "1"],
["Server Rules", [4], "", -5, [["[] execVM "YOURSCRIPTFOLDER\text2.sqf""]]], "1", "1"],
["Tips", [6], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text3.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]
];
];

However, I have now tested anything about it .... if I have a lot of time the last days I test the times for you and post it then again.

cheech420now · February 2, 2015

This would work way better if it was in the map briefing but I cant get a briefing to work.

ok this kinda works lol

i get a box pop up and screen saying text1 and has all the files inside including config files they dont need to see xD

*update* it now opens the text file in game without seeing the serverinfo before it if u get wat i mean..i suck at explaining

Suppe · February 2, 2015

This would work way better if it was in the map briefing but I cant get a briefing to work.

yes, I think a briefing would be a nicer solution, that is cleaner: D I try both versions, (briefing and scroll menu) when I have time, but still takes, no time atm....

Humpabry · February 3, 2015

so tonight i took a script i used in arma 2 and all working perfect.

edited it to do and say as i wish but i have 1 problem.

after the player died the menu does not show any longer..it will show untill u die then does not show again. any ideas on this? once its fully running ill post it up :)

Sporny · February 3, 2015

I will post the map briefing script after work (about 5 hours) ;)

Humpabry · February 3, 2015

ah sweet ill stop this then my head is melted and wait for your briefing! ty

Tricks · February 3, 2015

Ok I finnaly have had some time to try this script. I too am can't get the second menu up. I have "Server Info" appearing, but when you click on it you don't get a second menu. I don't see any errors popping up either. Here are my files;

Menu.sqf

private["_veh", "_idx"];
Sleep 10;
_idx = -1;

while {alive player} do {
if(_idx == -1) then {
_idx = (vehicle player) addaction [("" + ("Server Info") +""),"Scripts\Menu\InfoMenu\ActionMenu.sqf","",5,false,true,"",""];
_veh = vehicle player;
};
if (_veh != vehicle player) then
{
_veh removeAction _idx;
_idx = -1;
};
Sleep 2;
};

ActionMenu.sqf

_pathtotools = "Scripts\Menu\InfoMenu\";
_EXECscript1 = 'player execVM "'+_pathtotools+'%1"';
//customise these menus to fit your server
//menu
        menu =
        [
				["",true],
                ["Server Info", [2], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text1.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
                ["Server Rules", [4], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text2.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
                ["Tips", [6], "", -5, [["expression", format[_EXECscript1,"text3.sqf"]]], "1", "1"],
                ["", [-1], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "0"],
				["Exit", [13], "", -3, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]    
        ];

I had an error here and had to remove the last ]; from the original post.

Text1.sqf

"Text1" hintC parseText format ["
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t><br/>
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t><br/>
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t><br/>
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t><br/>
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t><br/>
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t><br/>
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t><br/>
<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t><br/>

<t size='.7' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'></t><br/>
<t size='1.1' shadow='1'align='left' color='#FFFFFF'>Text</t><br/>
"];

sleep 10;

Would REALLY appreciate it, if someone could get this working! :rolleyes:

Sporny · February 3, 2015

Okay here is my briefing menu:

init.sqf

null =[] execVM "scripts\briefing.sqf";

scripts\briefing.sqf

if (!hasInterface) exitWith {};

waitUntil {!isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};
waitUntil {isNuLL(uiNameSpace getVariable ["EPOCH_loadingScreen",displayNull])};

player createDiarySubject ["menu1","Name on Map"];
player createDiarySubject ["menu2","Name on Map2"];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu1",
["Name on Map","
 
Put your text here
 
"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu2",
["Name on Map2","
 
Put your text here
 
"]];

Not on scroll menu but it works :)

have fun ;)
