Making a CFG file to add hemp into cherno!

[Graver]

Okay so we are working on adding hemp plants into cherno for our server.  So we have our weed.pbo with a config reading...

class CfgPatches {

	class p_fiberPlant_EP1 {
		units[] = {"p_fiberPlant_EP1"};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgVehicles {
	class House;
	class Weed_Plant: House {
		model = "\Expansion\Addons\plants_e\Plant\p_fiberPlant_EP1.p3d";
		scope = 2;
		displayName = "Weed_Plant";
		accuracy = 0.1;
		vehicleClass = "p_fiberPlant_EP1";
		simulation = "house";
		cost = 0;
		armor = 300;
		placement = "slope";
	};
}; 

and it works great in the editor and single player.  But we just cant seem to figure out how to get it over to a server.  Any help would be super appreciated!

we are wondering also if this needs to be it's own PBO or would we put it in the mission or server pbo...  basically we have hit a wall haha...  We currently have it set up in its own .pbo but that does not seem to be getting called by the server...  Maybe we need a script somewhere to tell the server to take action on the new .pbo?

 

/thinking out loud

 

ALSO: 

Sorry this should have been an edit not a new post!

I dont know about plants...if they are 'vehicles' or anything else...BUT....if they are vehicles....and you want to custom spawn them, my guess is that this should work:

 

 

put your weed.pbo file here  \@DayZ_Epoch_Server\addons\weed.pbo

should be right next to the dayz_server.pbo.

 

Then in your \MPMissions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\dynamic_vehicle.sqf

at the bottom add :

.......
["p_fiberPlant_EP1",1]
];

Then in the database add a vehicle with class name: p_fiberPlant_EP1   anywhere you want on the map.

Spawn in game and check if it worked.

 

Thats how i spawned a huge aircarrier on the map.....but like i said....that was a vehicle.

Thank you Sandbird! I'll give it a shot!

Configs need to go into the mission, because not just the server but all your players would need the definition for custom stuff and you can't edit @dayz_epoch without your clients downloading your forked version.

So you are limited to missionconfigfiles and those are kinda limited in terms of can & can't do certain things.

 

Spawning itself can happen in either server or missionfiles, but to keep the missionsize small, do it via script in dayz_server ;)
