Epoch 1.0.6 Remove Gems

[Boxingdelta26]

Hi All,

Currently have the latest version of epoch 1.0.6 on my server. However, it has gems added as a currency but I have no ability to do anything with gems. How can i remove gems completely from the server?

Thanks,

Delta

This is the arma 3 forum, but in your init.sqf place

DZE_GemWorthArray = [];

Also you can either remove mine veins to stop gems being found with

MaxMineVeins = 0;

Or if you want keep the veins but change the gems put

MaxMineVeins = 5; or whatever number you want and then edit this. Im not 100% sure if you can remove all the entries to remove the gems or set them to 0. Someone else will need to confirm that.

DZE_GemOccurance = [["ItemTopaz",10], ["ItemObsidian",8], ["ItemSapphire",6], ["ItemAmethyst",4], ["ItemEmerald",3], ["ItemCitrine",2], ["ItemRuby",1]]; //Sets how rare each gem is in the order shown when mining (whole numbers only)

Woops, sorry was mean't to go into the Arma 2 Scripting.

However, thankyou I will give this ago. I thought about emptying the array for gem worth but a player said he sold something at a trader which then the trader gave him a gem back so I was think this maybe something to do with a database change? I could be wrong though.

No, put the  gem array line in and traders will no longer give gems as change. They also wont accept gems, so if you want players to be able to sell gems they already have, youll need to make a new trader catgory to sell them for briefcases.

Thankyou - will give this a go tomorrow and report back :)

I have done this ( making the array empty) and no joys. Traders are still giving gems as money back when selling items. Any other suggestions or guidance? 

[lwbuk]

Nope, that's how it's done. 

Have you got a custom confgvariables that's overwriting the init  line?

you said you cant do anything with gems? what do you mean? Gems are just a combined briefcase in my mind. 1 Ruby is 4 1/2 briefs.  If you make an ah64d for sale at 30 briefs it happily accepts a few Rubies as payment. Advanced trader will calculate the cost.

Got this working. As you said i should put it in the init file. However, the same array was in the dayz config file so thought if i changed it there it would work but it didn't

Changed it in the init and now works ok. Thankyou

You need to move the configuration file mission side and re point it's location, then the changes in it will work

No, you just need to put the variables you want to change below the execution of the variable file.  In this case, the variable is in ConfigVariables.sqf (the line linked to here: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/Server Files/MPMissions/DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus/init.sqf#L47 ) Variables in this file should be defined BELOW the include line that I linked to. 

 

There is another variables.sqf file, which is for pre-1.0.6 and vanilla variables. usually variables in this file have an !isNil check, so you are safe to place variables above the variables.sqf call compile line
