Scripting tutorial

Jestertriks · April 18, 2016

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

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

Jestertriks · April 19, 2016

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 · April 19, 2016

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 · April 19, 2016

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

use the install guide and compare:

my Init.sqf step 1 of guide.

Spoiler

//Run the player monitor
   _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
   _playerMonitor =    [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";
   execVM "spawn\start.sqf";

my init step 2 of guide.

Spoiler

dayz_MapArea = 14000; // Default = 10000
dayz_maxLocalZombies = 30; // Default = 30

dayz_paraSpawn = false;

dayz_minpos = -1;

my description.ext step 3 of guide

Spoiler

class controls
   {
       class Title1 : RscLoadingText
       {
           text = "$STR_LOADING"; // "Loading" text in the middle of the screen
       };
       class CA_Progress : RscProgress // progress bar, has to have idc 104
       {
           idc = 104;
           type = 8; // CT_PROGRESS
           style = 0; // ST_SINGLE
           texture = "\ca\ui\data\loadscreen_progressbar_ca.paa";
       };
       class CA_Progress2 : RscProgressNotFreeze // progress bar that will go reverse
       {
           idc = 103;
       };
       class Name2: RscText // the text on the top-left
       {
           idc = 101;
           x = 0.05;
           y = 0.029412;
           w = 0.9;
           h = 0.04902;

   };
};

///spawn class//


#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)

Spoiler

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

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

Spoiler

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

Spoiler

_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 · April 20, 2016

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 · April 20, 2016

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 · April 20, 2016

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

Spoiler

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:

Spoiler


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 · April 20, 2016

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 · April 21, 2016

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

Jestertriks · April 21, 2016

should i do step 10?

juandayz · April 21, 2016

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";
       };

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 · April 21, 2016

i give up. thanks for all your help

Jestertriks · April 21, 2016

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 · May 1, 2016

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

.-=Franky=-. · May 12, 2016

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.
