[Release] Briefing for Arma3 Epoch

Suppe · April 22, 2015

Briefing example for Arma3 Epoch Mod, by GBR Suppe

Because many Admins do not even understand a briefing ?!?

Download:

https://github.com/GBR-Suppe/briefing-Master

Install:
- Copy the briefing.sqf in your epoch.Mission.

- Add to your init:

  [] execVM "briefing.sqf";

- Description.ext // Line 22

  briefing = 1;

- Edit the briefing.sqf !!!

- If you want colours in the briefing: (Thanks to Darce)

Use html colour tags (RGB = #RRGGBB)

Red Dot: Dead Trader 

and it appears like ... Red Dot: Dead Trader

use img tags for images,

<img image='map.paa' /> will show the image

<img image='art\map.paa' width= 360 height= 360/> will set it's size to 360 x 360

I have taken your Briefing.sqf. First time I have edited it.

It don't work.

I have tested your original, too. Fail. Where's the mistake?

I have edited Init.sqf and onPlayerRespawn.sqf

2 Times [] execVM "briefing.sqf"; ????

Init.sqf

#include "A3EAI_Client\A3EAI_initclient.sqf";

call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "cmEarplugs\config.sqf";

if(hasInterface)then{execVM "semClient.sqf"};

[] execVM "briefing.sqf";

[] execVM "scripts\fn_statusBar.sqf";

[] execVM "IgiLoad\IgiLoadInit.sqf";

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

[] execVM "briefing.sqf";

Suppe · April 24, 2015

simon1603 · May 1, 2015

Hi great script, many thanks, one issue that i am having is that all the menu items, epoch tips etc are duplicate twice. Everything looks to be correct, dont have any errors.

Any ideas would be appreciated, again many thanks for sharing.

Suppe · May 2, 2015

@ Neo

You get a kick for this ? try to start without the onPlayerRespawn.sqf.

simon1603 · May 2, 2015

Thanks for the swift reply, I will change the setting today and see if it sort the issue.

Many thanks Suppe

Simon

simon1603 · May 2, 2015

Hi, Still getting the duplicate entries, changed the briefing to 0, but not change. Attached a jpg of the briefing

Its not actually causing an issue, just would like the briefing to work the way you have made it :).

This is what I have in my init.sqf -

if(hasInterface) then{
   [] execVM "addons\service_point\service_point.sqf";
   [] execVM "addons\Status_Bar\init_statusBar.sqf";
   [] execVM "briefing.sqf";
};

Followed by welcome credits and earplugs but wanted to keep the post short.

Going to read up now on how to do spoilers. EDIT found out how to do it.

Regards

Simon

Suppe · May 2, 2015

@ simon... please delete the onPlayerRespawn.sqf.

with the onPlayerRespawn.sqf it duplicate, without not...

simon1603 · May 2, 2015

Fantasitic, working fully.

Many thanks again.

Simon

Darce · May 27, 2015

Nice one Suppe! :)

and if you want colours, use html colour tags (RGB = #RRGGBB)

Red Dot: Dead Trader

and it appears like ... Red Dot: Dead Trader

use img tags for images,

<img image='map.paa' /> will show the image

<img image='art\map.paa' width= 360 height= 360/> will set it's size to 360 x 360

Suppe · May 27, 2015

@ Darce

Thanks for the color Info :D i will add the info in the mainpost, Thanks :)

Tarabas · April 10, 2016

That script worked fine for me till now it's nomore shown in 0.3.8.0

edited sandbox_config.hpp to briefing = 1;

but briefing is nomore working for me

VAKE · June 19, 2016

I'm having the same issue as Tarabas.

Schrubbdiwupp · June 30, 2016

With this on the top of the script it works everytime you go on the Map...

if (!isDedicated) then {

waitUntil { alive player && time > 0 && !isnull (finddisplay 46)};

sleep 5;

Works perfect for my Server...

Hux · August 2, 2016

I get this error when I'm joining server: Warning Message: File mpmissions\__CUR_MP.Tanoa\description.ext, line 10: .briefing: Member already defined.

I know of no other place I have:

briefing = 1;

How do I fix this?

Thank you.

Would you mind showing your briefing.sqf ?

I tried adding that code but I couldn't get it to work.

Thank you.

natoed · March 22, 2017

Hi All,

Well the briefing is hit and miss for me.

Some times it works and some times it doesn't.

When I relog its shows up (most of the time) but all Channels I have disabled are in enabled, all of them, its got me fucked.

my sandbox_config.hpp

disableChannels[]={{0,true,true},{1,true,true},{2,true,true},{3,false,false},{4,false,false},{5,true,false},{6,false,true}}; // allow text only on radio chat
enableItemsDropping = 0;
briefing = 1;
debriefing = 0;

I run the briefing.sqf from my initPlayerLocal.sqf with

[] execVM "2dmin\addons\briefing\briefing.sqf";

briefing.sqf below

player createDiaryRecord ["menu6",
["How to Info"," 
EVR Storms 
Thought to caused by cascading inverse nanite energies of unknown origins. 
The only known short-term protection avilable is Quartz as it absorbs, 
energies from the storm, once and once only, before being destroyed. 
So stockup on (Quartz) radios, the only source of quartz in Altis-Z. 
 
Rearming and Repairing 
This is done via the TentHangars, You will find them. 
There is a Krypto COST Per Action. 
You must have the Krypto on your player BTW. 
Its no cheap either. 
 
Refueling 
This can be done manually with jerry cans. 
Empty and full jerry cans can be looted. 
Siphoning fuel with empty jerry cans from other vehicles or Fuel Stations. 
Planning maybe required...is that a refueling pod at the club... 
 
Autolockpicking 
You can lockpick any vehicle or lockable Epoch door. 
Requires - 1 x Hotwire Kit, 1 x Quartz Radio plus 300 Energy. 
Must be with in 2m for scroll options to become activate. 
Its funnny in a way, so enjoy. 
Note: Watch out for car thieves... 
 
Attach Explosives 
You can attach an explosive charge to any vehicle or lockable Epoch door. 
Requires - 1 x Explosive Charge. 
Must be with in 2m for scroll options to become activate. 
Oh the joy, I love this, do you! 
 
Vehicle Rentals 
Check out our Vehicle Rentals. 
They only last one server session but they are cheap. 
Rental Trader is by the helipad at Club Sodomy. 
Marked with the Yellow dot on the map. 
Note: Vehicle will spawn 2 meters infront of renter, so be careful... 
No refunds or replacements available. 
"]];

player createDiaryRecord ["menu7",
["Missions"," 
Most Missions are announced and marked on the map. 
Other Missions are not, Those are for you to find. 
 
Note: 
Captured Mission Vehicle cannot be sold nor saved to the database. 
Its the ONLY way to get a OP armed vehicle, for a short time anyway. 
 
Why! Cause it make the game way to easy. 
I like the FV-720 Mora, cough cough AP rounds in the right spot...
