[scarCODE] server introCredits by IT07

[blue00]

@ IT07: Right, I obviously hadn't checked the read-me file. All that stuff I added to the description.ext I pulled out of the ether. Your attitude is both appreciated and extremely helpful. Thanks so much.

 

To answer your question (since you apparently didn't bother to read MY post) I had done as the read-me directed, added what it said to add to the description.ext. I re-packed my PBO (also as it directed) but despite having done all of that, this mod still isn't working for me. At all. Since the read-me only said... "Make sure to repack the contents of the server-side folder into a pbo named exactly the same as the folder they came in" I thought perhaps I had misunderstood that, and that it wanted me to be doing something else? Which didn't really make sense, but I've been at this for hours and I'm kind of new, and also human (thusly capable of error), so I figured I'd, you know, ASK somebody, instead of breaking it further, but you have my sincere apologies for the inconvenience my request for help apparently caused you.

 

Sorry, it's just been a really long day.

 

@ Sp4rky: It sounds like I had done it all correctly then. Not sure why it's still not showing up for me. Thanks anyway though :) and for being actually nice lol. I just can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong here.

So then, i think the only way to force help is that you show us your files.

Show us your description and perhaps screenshots of your folder structure where you have copied the files/folders to.

 

I accept that you are new to this, because of this i have to ask you: Do you really know, how to unpack and repack a pbo-file ?

This can cause the problem too.

 

cheers

Having the same issue as blue, although in a slightly less aggressive manner lol - I added everything associated with the "scarCODE functions" in description.ext and also the #include "scarCODE\global.hpp", I do have global.hpp in scarCODE, alongwith the Intro credits folder, I packed it all up nice and pretty in my epoch.altis.pbo, and yet! No dice.

 

To be clear, and for the sake of expediency --- I have read the README.md   :P  so please let's all not yell at me.

• if you install anyting that uses a scrollmenu and you have infiSTAR, make sure things in infiSTARsettings.txt match yours 
• any scarCODE menu needs the #include "scarCODE\global.hpp" file included in description.ext. Check the description.ext example in this repository to see how to do so.
• PVE/anti-PVP script needs a3_scarCODE_PVE in @epochhive\addons
• PSR script needs a3_scarCODE_PSR in @epochhive\addons 
  Make sure to repack the contents of the server-side folder into a pbo named exactly the same as the folder they came in.

I do not have infistar, I have included the #include "scarCODE\global.hpp", I'm not using the PVE scripts, I'm not using PSR scripts? (I don't think. Unless I should be, in which case that is where I've gone wrong.) and I did re-pack the contents into the PBO. 

 

That is literally all the README says relative to installing.  I'm not having issues with BE. It just simply does not run an intro when I start the server. No errors, no BattlEye meltdowns, just doesn't seem to know it's there. 

 

Apologies if this is kind of a stupid question, I'm sure I've missed something obvious, but I.. yeah. Just could use some help. 

[IT07]

The fastest way to get it fixed is if you both PM me your pbos and I will then take a look at it and correct any mistakes and tell you both what was wrong. ok?

I have PBO manager, sooo to repack the PBO I just right click the folder and tell it to "pack into epoch.altis.pbo", it then gives me a pbo named "epoch.altis.pbo" and if I open that file in PBO manager, all of the folders and files are indeed in there.  :) All other mods I've added to the PBO in this way are working. I assume that's the proper way to do it. If not, I'll look into that further I guess.

Thanks again.

Post-Edit: Also PM'd to IT07, sorry hadn't seen your response before posting.

[Sp4rkY]

Just a little hint btw:

Don´t use the rightclick function "create pbo" with the Pbo-Manager!

Sometimes it may happens that this cause in problems, getting the correct prefixes of this file and some parts of your missionfile cannot be loaded exactly....

Instead of rightclick option i recommend to use either copy&paste or drag&drop the files into the manager.

Thats a bit safer. Perhaps this is just the reason? Try it!

Your description seems to be ok.

cheers

[IT07]

@Sp4rkY: I have been using pbo manager since the day I started scripting and I have never experienced the issue with prefix. I even remove that mikero file because it has no function for me. Also, I do not repack the mission file into a pbo on my server because the server can read fine from a folder. But I know that most server providers demand the mission file to be a pbo instead of a folder so that is why I still instruct to repack into a pbo.

[Sp4rkY]

I have a dedi, so thats not the reason :)

I dont can remember if it was a prefix fail, but anything "can" went wrong. Its a possibility for path errors or something and this don´t happen always. That was a talking point in an other thread here also, but its too long ago to find it now :)

This mikero file isnt created by me because i use the way of copy&paste (this are standard keystrokes which takes 2 seconds for me and the pbo is packed. i think iam faster as the rightclick menu ^^ - ok its an other subject ^^)

On the other side, the same can happen if you use a folder at the server. With this method i had some path errors too and some functions wont load. I packed it in a pbo and everything was fine :)

But what i want to aim was, that the guys learn how to do the standard things ;)

cheers

Hey @IT07 can I pm you what i have setup for my mission. and tell me what im doing wrong with your bundle.

I am assuming based on your instructions and other posts that there is nothing needed to be added to the init.sqf file to make your bundle work. Everything is in the description.ext that calls for the scripts.

 

 

 

[IT07]

yes sure no problem. I will look at it when I can. And yes it is correct that everything runs from cfgFunctions instead of init.sqf

[MeragonGer]

@IT07

Does the Intro on Server on other mods?, can't run yout script on other mods :/  

[IT07]

It does but needs edits. I can not give you instructions on that via this forum though. To my opinion it is disresepectful to the owners of this forum to talk about another mod other than EPOCH.

[MeragonGer]

ok i understand
