Bottom picture watermark

[PredatoRX91]

Hello,

 

I am trying to add a watermark on my test server and i followed this tutorial: 

 

 

I am trying to get this working but i am failing to do so. 

I have done the .hpp file, and included the file in description, also made the .sqf file, and the picture, but it doesnt showing up  :(

 

here is my logo.sqf file: http://pastebin.com/g1uaiWZt

 

logo.hpp file: http://pastebin.com/wQWsHwPL

 

description ext: http://pastebin.com/xUT06eSY

 

Init.sqf: http://pastebin.com/uhcXnfBi

 

I dont know but is it possible that DZGM is interfering with this?

 

Can someone help me, what am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance

_pic = "example\example.paa";
[
    '<img align=''left'' size=''1.0'' shadow=''1'' image='+(str(_pic))+' />',
    safeZoneX+0.027,
    safeZoneY+safeZoneH-0.1,
    99999,
    0,
    0,
    3090
] spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText;

Try putting that in your init.sqf at the bottom, like the tutorial says :)

thanks for your reply, but i tried that in the first place, and still didn`t show up, tried again, but no.  :unsure:

 

Also i dont get any errors in RPT logs.

So it works, but it shows up just after the player dies, and after that, it stays there, but for a player who didn`t died before the addon was placed, the watermark wont show up until he dies, after that it`s there. :blink:

 

So i can`t figure it out why is that? :rolleyes:

 

Edit: so after a server restart, its not showing up again, till the player dies? after that it loads.

You are creating it before main display is set up.

add this on top of your logo.sqf

waituntil {!(IsNull (findDisplay 46))};

Although the question is - if you are utilizing bis_fnc_dynamicText, why do you need rscTitles? The dialog is never created in any of your scripts from what I see.

 

edit: what I am trying to say is - description.txt and logo.hpp parts are irrelevant to any of this, they play no part.

raymix thanks for your help.

 

I just followed that tut., but i questioned that myself also, why is that .hpp file needed. So after you mentioned it, i deleted that logo.hpp, but i`m quite new to this, and i`m still learning :)

 

I added that line of code to the top of my logo.sqf,  but it doesn`t help, no change.

 

And just another question, do i need to put 

[] execVM "custom\logo.sqf";

to the bottom of my Init.sqf, or in the 

if (!isDedicated) then {

code block?

 i appreciate any help :)

Judging by your init.sqf it doesn't matter. It's just a simple resource you are trying to create on your display that's all.

It is truly weird it didn't work, must be something to do with the way MP setup is being loaded. 

 

Did some digging around, looks like my suspicion was right. Might be due to how debug zone is handled when client is waiting for PV from server to confirm successful login.

 

Try this instead:

waitUntil {!isNil ("PVDZE_plr_LoginRecord")};

It seems like there's more to this, an array named PVCDZ_plr_Login2 (or dayzPlayerLogin2) with second element set as a boolean. I assume this is a state used to determine if player has been created and placed in the world.

So if above does not work out, you have 2 choices.. add sleep to above command (give it like 5 seconds or so) or wrap your code around if statement like so:

waitUntil {!isNil ("PVDZE_plr_LoginRecord")}; 
if (dayzPlayerLogin2 select 1) then //try select 2, too
{
	_pic = "predator.paa";
	[
		'<img align=''left'' size=''1.0'' shadow=''0.2'' image='+(str(_pic))+' />',
		safeZoneX+0.027,
		safeZoneY+safeZoneH - 0.18,
		99999,
		0,
		0,
		3090
	] spawn bis_fnc_dynamicText;
};

For whatever reason, most people are checking third element in the array of 2 elements and then suggesting creating this extra element. Makes no sense to me at this point, but I am not really eager to check out what's going on there either

edit: just in case you misread - there are 3 possible solutions in this post, try them all.

Thanks, the first command you suggested worked, but in the meantime i found out that this

waitUntil {(!isNull Player) and (alive Player) and (player == player)};

line works too, so now it loads everyime :)

 

So as i see it doesn`t matter which one is used, as long as it loads correctly. 

 

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
