How to turn off building disallowed zones?

[Cavadus]

As the title says, I'm cool with the players on my server building in, on, and around existing structures and cities.  Is there a way to allow player building everywhere no matter what?

Have you taken the items out of the description.ext yet ?  You have blockedArea and buildingNearbyMilitary to start with

[second_coming]

There are still some zones which are disallowed even after removing the entries in the description.ext and allowing building near military bases. I seem to remember seeing some areas defined in the non editable server files.

I haven't.  Where would I find that file in the structure?

As Dwarfer stated above, in the Description.ext

class CfgEpochClient
{
	buildingNearbyMilitary = 1; //1 to allow building nearby
	buildingNearbyMilitaryRange = 300; //Define radius of blocked area

	buildingRequireJammer = 0; // 1 = to allow building without a jammer 
	buildingCountLimit = 200; // how many objects can be built within range of a jammer 
	buildingJammerRange = 75; // jammer range in meters 
	
	EPOCH_news[] = {"Word is that Sappers have a new boss.","Dogs will often lure them monsters away.","My dog was blown up. I miss him.."};
	
	class Altis
	{
		blockedArea[] = { //[POS],radius
				{ { 16085, 16997, 0 }, 250 }, //South Telos
				{ { 12844, 16714, 0 }, 120 }, //Soldner Base

		};
	};
	class Chernarus
	{
		blockedArea[] = {
				{ { 10203, 1886, 0 }, 430 }, //South Electro

Right, in what file directory would I find "description.ext?"  Is it inside of a PBO, folder, et cetera?

[Richie]

Inside your mission .pbo file inside the MPMissions directory

It's the one called epoch.Your_Map_Choice

[Cavadus]

So I went to my MPMissions folder, downloaded "epoch.Altis.pbo," opened it up, extracted "description.ext," and here's what I'm seeing in notepad++:

author = "Epoch Mod Team";
class Header
{
 gameType = Sandbox;
 minPlayers = 1;
 maxPlayers = 100;
};
respawn = "BASE";
respawnDelay = 600;
respawnDialog = 0;

onLoadMission= "Epoch";
OnLoadIntro = "Welcome to Epoch Mod";
loadScreen = "\x\addons\a3_epoch_assets\pictures\loadScreen_ca.paa"; 
OnLoadIntroTime = False;
OnLoadMissionTime = False;
onLoadName = "Epoch Mod";
disabledAI = true;
scriptedPlayer = 1;
disableChannels[]={0,1,2,6};
enableItemsDropping = 0;
briefing = 0;
debriefing = 0;
enableDebugConsole = 0;
joinUnassigned = 0;
respawnOnStart = 0;
forceRotorLibSimulation = 1;

corpseManagerMode = 1;
corpseLimit = 10;
corpseRemovalMinTime = 1200;
corpseRemovalMaxTime = 3600;

wreckManagerMode = 1;
wreckLimit = 2;
wreckRemovalMinTime = 60;
wreckRemovalMaxTime = 360;

class CfgRemoteExecCommands {};

Not the right file???

[Nic]

It should look like this, it looks like the end of the file got cut off or something. Might want to re-download.

Hmmm, created a new description.ext, packaged it in the pbo, stopped server, uploaded it, but it appears to have no effect so far on disallowed zones.

GTX Gaming is my host.  I wonder if they maybe keep these settings in a separate file or something.

Thanks for all of the help, everyone.  Back to the drawing board, I guess.

[DirtySanchez]

Yes so far our community has found with all blocked zones disabled, we still cannot build in pyrgos and athira.

I'm sure they will find more as the days go on.

[umfufu]

    buildingNearbyMilitary = 0; //1 to allow building nearby
    buildingNearbyMilitaryRange = 300; //Define radius of blocked area   <<<<< This u should set at 0

 

After this we where able to build in Pyrgos-base  , and syrta wich isnt in a nobuild list (correct me if iam wrong)

[second_coming]

In a3_epoch_code.pbo (compile\building\EPOCH_isBuildAllowed.sqf) it also blocks building within 300 metres of any 'ProtectionZone_Invisible_F' or any 'NameCityCapital'.

 

So until the server code is unlocked you can't build near them without some jiggery pokery :)

[Cavadus]

Okay, that was the problem I was having.  Was trying to build on the FOB northeast of Pyrgos.  Went to the FOB northeast of the airport and was able to build there without issue.

 

Thank you, everyone.  Couldn't have done it without you :)

[Cavadus]

So weird side effect.  I made the changes as stated above and now drones no longer spawn.  Checked the config file and its set to a 10% chance on item loot but one hasn't spawned in about two days?

 

Do drones need no build zones to spawn in and fly out of?  I'm still getting sappers spawning no problem.

I am a coding rookie, so I need some help translating this... the way I read the below code, and I am untrained/unskilled in doing so,  it appears to me that "buildingNearbyMilitaryRange" is completely nullified by the code and locked down to 300 meters.   Here is how I am translating the code:

 

IF buildNearbyMilitary (in the description.ext file?) is set to 0, then set _range to the value in the description.ext file.

• IF _range is greater than zero, then ignore that and put a 300 meter restriction on military and protected zones.
• IF _range is not greater than 0, then start by setting the military build restrictions to 0 meters, then go back and append protected zones and military buildings again, this time restricting them to 300.

IF buildNearbyMilitary is not set to 0, then restrict building near protected zones only by 300 meters radius.

if (getNumber(_config >> "buildingNearbyMilitary") == 0) then{
	_range = getNumber(_config >> "buildingNearbyMilitaryRange");
	if (_range > 0) then {
		_restricted = nearestObjects [player, ["ProtectionZone_Invisible_F","Cargo_Tower_base_F","Cargo_HQ_base_F","Cargo_Patrol_base_F","Cargo_House_base_F"], 300];
	} else {
		_restricted = nearestObjects [player, ["Cargo_Tower_base_F","Cargo_HQ_base_F","Cargo_Patrol_base_F","Cargo_House_base_F"], _range];
		_restricted append (nearestObjects [player, ["ProtectionZone_Invisible_F","Cargo_Tower_base_F","Cargo_HQ_base_F","Cargo_Patrol_base_F","Cargo_House_base_F"], 300]);
	};
} else {
	_restricted = nearestObjects [player, ["ProtectionZone_Invisible_F"], 300];
};
