variables.sqf

[Just_R]

I have a question or two.   I watched a video by a well named person on these forums.  He basically stated we can move things from the init.sqf into the variables.sqf thus eliminating double calls to the dayz_code.pbo.  for example:

spawnShoremode = 0; // Default = 1 (on shore)
spawnArea= 800; // Default = 1500
DynamicVehicleDamageLow = 75; // Default: 0
DynamicVehicleDamageHigh = 100; // Default: 100
MaxVehicleLimit = 100; // Default = 50
MaxDynamicDebris = 0; // Default = 100
dayz_MapArea = 16000; // Default = 10000
MaxMineVeins = 1;
MaxAmmoBoxes = 5;

These above things can be stated at the beginning of variables.sqf, then repacked into the PBO.

this being said, why can't we do this with compiles.sqf? fn_selfactions? etc? instead of copying these files to our MPMission folder plus the changes needed for the mod(s) -- so it ends up double calling things along with adding to an increased mission file?

the answer is ease of access thats all really.  You can do just that make the changes in variables in self actions etc, just repack them into the server PBO and be sure all your scripts point to the correct location.

ok. so if I wanted to modify the original fn_selfactions.sqf and then repack into the dayz_code PBO this would work OR just have the modified bits called from the MPMissions folder.

I was having a discussion about this with my mate. I appreciate the answer.

Make your changes and just repack it back in its original location.
