Scripting tutorial

[Jestertriks]

Can any one make a proper spawn selection tutorial with links that work through github. As well as advance trader? It would be much Appriciated by many I'm sure. Spawn selection links in the one made don't work. Just give a lot of trojans. 

 

Using overpoch

[juandayz]

mmmmm maybe i cant understand you but i think u are talking about it  https://ebaydayz.github.io/ESSV2/

[Jestertriks]

I dont know man. I appreciate the link, but ive tried everything. I did exactly what it says to do and i cant get past picking the character. it just crashes after

[juandayz]

are u repacking the dayz_server.pbo after you do the steps that requiere some modifies in server_playerSetup.sqf  and server_playerDied.sqf ?

[juandayz]

Heres my files see lines in blue are the codes for EESSV2 mod

use the install guide and compare:

#include "spawn\class.hpp"
#include "spawn\halo.hpp"
#include "spawn\spawn.hpp"

*place spawn folder in MPMISSIONS/Instance_chernarus.11/

For now on!!!!!!!!!!!UNPACK YOUR dayz_server.pbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Step 5 server_playerSetup.sqf  replace whole code   ( i show u my file whit the replace done)

  Reveal hidden contents

//record for Server JIP checks
    _playerObj setVariable["zombieKills_CHK",0];
    _playerObj setVariable["humanKills_CHK",0,true];

if (_randomSpot) then {
   if (!isDedicated) then {endLoadingScreen;};
   _debug = getMarkerpos "respawn_west";
   _worldspace = [0,[_debug select 0,_debug select 1,0.3]];
};

//Record player for management
dayz_players set [count dayz_players,_playerObj];

*Step 6 modify server_playerSetup.sqf   -- my server_playerSetup.sqf

  Reveal hidden contents

//record player pos locally for server checking
_playerObj setVariable["CharacterID",_characterID,true];
_playerObj setVariable["humanity",_humanity,true];

//_playerObj setVariable["state",_state,true];
_playerObj setVariable["lastPos",getPosATL _playerObj];

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot];

// PVDZE_obj_Debris = DZE_LocalRoadBlocks;

Step 7 server_playerDied.sqf  -- my server_playerDied.sqf

  Reveal hidden contents

_victim = _newObject;
_newObject setVariable ["bodyName", _victimName, true];
_newObject setVariable ["bodyUID", _playerID, true];

******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Repack your dayz_server.pbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*******

step 8 (i dont have infistar, if u have follow the guide)-

Step 9 (dont worry about configs do it later)

Step 10 ( i dont change it)

Step 11 ( we are using epoch, so dont do it this step)

[Jestertriks]

no. i guess im just retarded. i did exactly everything from a clean server. just gets stuck at waiting for server to start authentication. i just dont get it

[Jestertriks]

Should I be skipping the steps that say "if your using ess spawn selection"? I've never used or had spawn selection on my server

[juandayz]

no, do the spawn selection... its step 5

 

*Step 5 server_playerSetup.sqf  replace whole code  

you needs find this code in server_playerSetup.sqf

  Reveal hidden contents

if (_randomSpot) then {

        private["_counter","_position","_isNear","_isZero","_mkr"];

        if (!isDedicated) then {

                endLoadingScreen;

        };

       

        //Spawn modify via mission init.sqf

        if(isnil "spawnArea") then {

                spawnArea = 1500;

        };

        if(isnil "spawnShoremode") then {

                spawnShoremode = 1;

        };

       

        //

        _spawnMC = actualSpawnMarkerCount;

 

        //spawn into random

        _findSpot = true;

        _mkr = "";

        while {_findSpot} do {

                _counter = ;

                while {_counter < 20 && _findSpot} do {

                        // switched to floor

                        _mkr = "spawn" + str(floor(random _spawnMC));

                        _position = ([(getMarkerPos _mkr),,spawnArea,10,,2000,spawnShoremode] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos);

                        _isNear = count (_position nearEntities ["Man",100]) == ;

                        _isZero = ((_position select ) == ) && ((_position select 1) == );

                        //Island Check          //TeeChange

                        _pos            = _position;

                        _isIsland       = false;                //Can be set to true during the Check

                        for [{_w=},{_w<=150},{_w=_w+2}] do {

                                _pos = [(_pos select ),((_pos select 1) + _w),(_pos select 2)];

                                if(surfaceisWater _pos) exitWith {

                                        _isIsland = true;

                                };

                        };

                       

                        if ((_isNear && !_isZero) || _isIsland) then {_findSpot = false};

                        _counter = _counter + 1;

                };

        };

        _isZero = ((_position select ) == ) && ((_position select 1) == );

        _position = [_position select ,_position select 1,];

        if (!_isZero) then {

                //_playerObj setPosATL _position;

                _worldspace = [,_position];

        };

};

delete all this lines and replace whit this:

  Reveal hidden contents

if (_randomSpot) then {
   if (!isDedicated) then {endLoadingScreen;};
   _debug = getMarkerpos "respawn_west";
   _worldspace = [0,[_debug select 0,_debug select 1,0.3]];
};

remember pack again your dayz_server.pbo...   you know what im talking right?

are you working on epoch server?

where you drop "spawn" folder?

[Jestertriks]

Yes I did all this already. I have a overpoch server.

 

I have to replace everything in your spoiler? I thought just 

if (_randomSpot) then {

        private["_counter","_position","_isNear","_isZero","_mkr"];

        if (!isDedicated) then {

                endLoadingScreen;

        };

 

That's what Im probably doing wrong

[Jestertriks]

still frozen after picking the character. i kill myself>pick genre>pick class>then frozen at dayz epoch loadin

[Jestertriks]

should i do step 10?

[juandayz]

this is my mission.sqf line for step 10... i dont do it this step  class Item1
        {
            position[]={-7245.377,365.98782,19535.367};
            name="respawn_west";
            type="Empty";
        };

Expand  

Guide say u put it:

if (_randomSpot) then {
   if (!isDedicated) then {endLoadingScreen;};
   _debug = getMarkerpos "respawn_west";
   _worldspace = [0,[_debug select 0,_debug select 1,0.3]];
};

 

see.. paste your whole server_playerSetup.sqf  in here  (use the spoiler)

[Jestertriks]

i give up. thanks for all your help

[Jestertriks]

is there a safe way i can pay someone to put advance trader with all overpoch everything and essv2 spawn selection. ive done most all other popular scripts that work fine. those just hate me

[RC_Robio]

Moved to A2 Scripting Q&A. Do not post questions in the release thread.

[.-=Franky=-.]

Did you compare the worldName in mission.sqm and spawnconfig.sqf?

I had the problem, that Origins 1.8 changes the name from tavi to taviana.
