Add server rules to A3 map page.

[Bushwick]

Hey folks, just wondering how I show the server rules in a section on the A3Map page? Similar to 'Statistics" in-game.

 

- Cant for the life of me work it out.

 

thanks in advance,

 

Bushy

hey,

 

you mean a briefing ?

 

here:

  Reveal hidden contents

diag_log format['**Starting Briefing.sqf**'];

if (!hasInterface) exitWith {};

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

player createDiarySubject ["menu1","Server Rules"];
player createDiarySubject ["menu2","Server Features"];
player createDiarySubject ["menu3","Tips"];
player createDiarySubject ["menu4","Sector C"];
player createDiarySubject ["menu5","Epoch Controls"];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu1",
["Server Rules","<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
"]];


player createDiaryRecord ["menu2",
["Server Features","<br/>

Important: Cinder is not more indestructible<br/><br/>
"]];


player createDiaryRecord ["menu3",
["Tips","<br/>

Use CTRL + ß and CTRL + ` to regulate volume level down and up<br/><br/>

"]];


player createDiaryRecord ["menu4",
["Sector C","<br/>

comming  soon<br/>
"]];


player createDiaryRecord ["menu5",
["Epoch Controls","<br/>

CTRL + ß regulate volume level down<br/>
CTRL + ` regulate volume level up<br/><br/>
"]];

call this in your init

example:

[] execVM "FOLDER\Briefing.sqf";

Very useful mate, thanks!

[DirtySanchez]

As far as I remember the briefings don't work because of EPOCH, but I have never tried to use it on my Epoch servers so I might be wrong.

[Darth_Rogue]

I'm using a briefing on my servers. Works fine.

[Bushwick]

So just to get this straight.

 

This adds entries to the MAP screen, not just announces that fade in and out when you log in.?

[Darth_Rogue]

That's correct.

How dare you come into my office and even consider asking for a raise. Get your ass to work!

 

Most likely what one might hear in this day and age.....being an ASST GM myself.

Haha! That's neither the first time I've heard those words, nor will it be the last. :P

[Finuix]

Nice !! thanks for the info :D

I added

// Briefing

[] execVM "scripts\briefing.sqf"; to my init

  Reveal hidden contents

// Status Bar

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

// a3_Sdrop

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

sdropClient=compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "sdropClient.sqf";

waitUntil{(isPlayer player) && (alive player) && !isNil "EPOCH_loadingScreenDone"};

[] spawn sdropClient;

// Briefing

[] execVM "scripts\briefing.sqf";

In my scripts folder I have a briefing.sqf which looks like this:

  Reveal hidden contents

diag_log format['**Starting Briefing.sqf**'];

if (!hasInterface) exitWith {};

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

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

player createDiarySubject ["menu1","Server Rules"];

player createDiarySubject ["menu2","Server Features"];

player createDiarySubject ["menu3","Tips"];

player createDiarySubject ["menu4","Sector C"];

player createDiarySubject ["menu5","Epoch Controls"];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu1",

["Server Rules","<br/>

<br/>

<br/>

"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu2",

["Server Features","<br/>

Important: Cinder is not more indestructible<br/><br/>

"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu3",

["Tips","<br/>

Use CTRL + ß and CTRL + ` to regulate volume level down and up<br/><br/>

"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu4",

["Sector C","<br/>

comming soon<br/>

"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu5",

["Epoch Controls","<br/>

CTRL + ß regulate volume level down<br/>

CTRL + ` regulate volume level up<br/><br/>

"]];

But it does not work. Anyone see a glaring error?

Just a shot in the dark while waiting on a scripting pro.....

Have you tried moving:

// Briefing

[] execVM "scripts\briefing.sqf";

To above or just below:

// Status Bar

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

Or reducing the number of menu items?

[B_Man]

I will try that Floyd. However, this one works....

Loads up for me and other admins.

Not for other players though?

That'll be your anti-hack blocking it then, admins are exempt.
