[macbeths0x]

i have already installed a script in my missions folder so now i do have a custom foler and in it it has a compiles.sqf files

 

 

NOW this is there i get confused and im sure its super simple 

 

say i want to intall snap build with vector, deploy bike, groupmanagment .. it always saying in the install help (if you have a custom compiles.sqf do this ... 

 

is it asking me to edit the current one i have or am i suppose to rename a folder or what im super lost and i dont want to mess up my server .. if anyone can help that be awesome .. and hell if you want to install those 3 things for me that be awesome too.. i could give a little $$

The compiles.sqf by default is client side, you've already put yours in the mission.pbo and therefore it's server side and is now custom because you moved it.

So you edit the compiles you have server side :)

alright so does this mean when a script says add this line to compiles.sqf 

 

i can use the one in custom folder and jsut add to it or what ?

im super sorry man haha im trying real hard to understand haha 

[Richie]

Yes you can :)

Just watch out though as some scripts have paths in other files, so script A might say add to scripts and script B might say as to custom.

 

It makes no difference just as long as the paths are correct.

haha alright then ill give it a shot .. all i want to add is group managment / deploy bike and snap build with vectors ..

 

any suggestions for those ?

 

i have to make a trader fro all the overpoch weapons since none of my traders have them .. i find that weird .. is that normal ?

sorry for all the questions i jsut want to know this stuff haha so i dont have to keep asking .. 

[Richie]

Use config based traders, you can then add the weapons from Overwatch to the traders, it's also better for the servers performance, only downside is you won't have any stock control.

And all guns are done for you with config traders

[macbeths0x]

where do i find config traders 

 

im with vilayer .. 

so is this a script i need to download or something ?

[Richie]

Config based traders will be around somewhere lots of times, just use the search :)

Ideally you want an Overpoch release but any will do and you can add the rest yourself.
