release Arma 2: DayZ Epoch 1.0.6

[icomrade]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the release of ArmA 2 DayZ Epoch 1.0.6, available for download at: http://epochmod.com/a2dayzepoch.php

This release introduces the integration of some of the most common Epoch community modifications from prior epoch release, DayZ Mod 1.8.8, and a new group system that persists in the database.  Most of the highlights can be found in the change log below, which is fairly comprehensive, but by no means exhaustive.

Please note that community addons/expansions for previous Epoch release WILL NOT work on Epoch 1.0.6, be sure to review the change log for which mods are now included. In addition, the loot table format has completely changed, you must base your loot table modifications on the new format, which can be found by evaluating the stock loot tables: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/tree/Release_1.0.6/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgLoot

1.0.5.1 and older Single Currency scripts are NOT compatible with 1.0.6, there is no included single currency script in this release. However, because we are so wonderful, we have chosen to integrate single currency saving to the DB, so a third-party HiveEXT is not necessary and the SQF is all that needs to be written/updated.

[icomrade]

Small update to the server pbo. @ebaydayz has fixed an issue with server_playerSetup.sqf where character objects present from a converted DB would fail to load. The changes to the server pbo are the following 2 line changes.

https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/compile/server_playerSetup.sqf#L112

https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/compile/server_playerSetup.sqf#L235

[icomrade]

Another small update, the server .pbo remains unchanged, but the HiveExt.dll has a fix for maintenance not cleaning up certain objects properly. You will need to update your HiveExt.ini as well (the included example configs are updated in the 1.0.6C 7Zip file), as it has a new variable discussed in the gitHub commit: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/commit/fc9b01e91cf4d8b6a62843df9758ca9f93af4283
