Good to know about that server_publicEH. So it's not my fault.

It would be nice to know how they're getting shown now. Maybe script can get changed to be working again.

I will be looking at this as I have time. An event is still sent to clients as there is still a basic kill message displayed in system chat. Do any of you see how this is handled?

Any idea why removing // from inside the epoch server that calls the deadplayer pvs still doesnt work omg i need this

[zxbutchxz]

A new file CfgRemoteExec.hpp in @Epoch\Addons\a3_epoch_config\Configs

Maybe it's in it?

From what I can see so far, you either have to add your own event handler for handling messaging when the player is killed then modify BE exceptions accordingly (Scripts and publicvariable) or add a line in the code Epoch calls when a player dies that calls Halv's function for messaging players. The first solution is cleaner in the long run because it is independent of Epoch code.

Can confirm that. Eventhandler protects you from weird internal epoch changes and you can cutomize it.

@rvg?!

 

Did you get an event handler running ? I would think it just has to call the server-side function that handles generating and broadcasting the messages after a player is killed.

[rvg?!]

Look at the MPkilled event. It will give you the killer and the victim. The rest is just dintance calc and weapon classes. I am working on the pictures to make it independent from every mod and mod updates. It will use the Arma3 classes incl external pics. We always had the issue, if you got killed by a sapper or unknown object in general, an error will appear.

For AI in blckeagls and other applications, I use the "killed" event but I will look into "MPKilled as well. I know I did a bunch of tweaks at one point to address minor bugs that resulted in script errors with certain types of deaths but don't remember the details.

mm mb use a EPOCH_server_deadPlayer.sqf>>?

 

	['deathlog', format['%1 (%2) Killed By %3 (%4) with weapon %5 from %6m at %7', _playerName, _plyrUID, name _killer, getPlayerUID _killer, currentWeapon _killer, _playerObj distance _killer, _pos]] call EPOCH_fnc_server_hiveLog;

 ^^it's goodlooking for me ))

btw also present EPOCH_sendPublicVariableClient.....

I think that approach will work with the caveat that you need to update every time an epoch update is released.

[fishmooney]

agree. but updates coming not so fast so it solution for me.

I switched this internal epoch killmessage off, because it overwrites my variables. And you can use full customized code, without changing epoch internals on every update.

Pry, I have it working with the stock EpochAH. My patch still needs a little testing with players who are not admin but I think I have things sorted.

[PryMary]

Awesome!! Care to share it? I only use the stock AH anyway ;-)

[viper179]

Yeh care to share with all of us since halv has up and left us.

[sCorporation]

So its ready to share? Would be nice :D

Ok finally got it working as ghost dbd said in its current state it works with the stock epoch anti hack and changing the line of code as was stated in a earlier post, but i have it working with infistar and it shows the nice dynamictext plus weapons and distance now still tweaking it up some though but yes killfeed messages are working on my server as of now.

[Fleischer111]

what exactly did you change , so that it works

You need to set up a "killed" event handler for the player and have that send a public variable to the server with the [_killed,_killer] as variables. Let me compare notes with viper after which we can release the results of our combined efforts to make my patch run under the default AH and ale infiStar.
