[totis]

Hi.

Im a newby server owner and i want some help with some rpt errors i see.

Basically my missions start and after 2-3 hours stop spawning new ones

Any help would be appreciated

here is an error i see often:

13:41:10 Error in expression <;
_activatingPlayer =  _this select 4;

if(_donotusekey) then {
_isOK = true;
} >
13:41:10   Error position: <if(_donotusekey) then {
_isOK = true;
} >
13:41:10   Error if: Type String, expected Bool
13:41:10 File z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_publishVehicle2.sqf, line 11

So this is a file you usually don't have to edit when running missions. Have you other scripts than the WAI mission system?

What's your server fps when they stop spawning? 

By default missions stop spawning at 5fps 

Also, you say you have no bandit missions, I presume you've set that in the WAI_bandit_limit?

What have you got listed in  wai_bandit_missions? Seem to recall reading some issues someone had with that, either they removed them all or they didn't add up to 100 even though they werent being used.

I'm guessing you are running a mod like deploy anything that deploys permanent objects? If so that's what's causing your server_publishveh2 problem

I see also this:

_ret;>
14:33:54   Error position: <_ret;>

Okay that's pretty weird because that's a file from your client files and a BIS function (Bohemia Interactive Studio implemented) so there should be no error.

First of all, are you using 1.0.5.1 or 1.0.6.1?

[totis]

Hi Dam,

Im using 1.0.6.1 overpoch

[totis]

yes i have some custom missions.

All missions work when set to spawn alone in my test server and also all missions custom or not work until around 2-3 hour mark and then stop spawning.

Only logs on rpt are those 2 above. And the one points to bandit missions which i have set to 0!

[totis]

I have one mission that gives loor diff vehicles than the one already deafault.

I added a category on wai config like this:

        armed_vehicle             ["ArmoredSUV_PMC_DZE","GAZ_Vodnik_DZE","HMMWV_M1151_M2_CZ_DES_EP1_DZE","HMMWV_M998A2_SOV_DES_EP1_DZE","LandRover_MG_TK_EP1_DZE","LandRover_Special_CZ_EP1_DZE","Pickup_PK_GUE_DZE","Pickup_PK_INS_DZE","Pickup_PK_TK_GUE_EP1_DZE","UAZ_MG_TK_EP1_DZE"];
        heavy_armed_vehicle         = ["BMP3","T72_INS","BTR60_TK_EP1","AW159_lynx_baf","Ka52Black"];
        armed_chopper                 = ["CH_47F_EP1_DZE","UH1H_DZE","Mi17_DZE","UH60M_EP1_DZE","UH1Y_DZE","MH60S_DZE"];

and added randomly taking one of the vehis on heavy armed vehicle category.

Maybe thats what is causing this mayhem? but again mission works alone, problem only appears after 2-3 hours

[totis]

srry u said other scripts.. I had only wai but recently i added dzai. Problem was happening the same

[totis]

my server fps is above 5fps constantly.

i have set to 0 but i do have the folder along with default missions inside

and im sure my hero missions count to 100.. counted them 100 times so far :)

 

[totis]

ahh.. i dont have any missions under bandit missions in config.. u think that is causing the problem? ok ill try adding 3-4 missions there and make sure they count to 100..

 

[totis]

I think that was build-in from provider salival.

I can see a config in bike folder where gems are used for crafting items so i think maybe thats the script?

You propose to disable crafting with gems?

In any case do you think that its capable of stopping missions from spawn?

 

[Relentless]

I don't think that's the issue that's causing missins to spawn any longer. Anyways it's a problem. Even if errors don't seem to influence something, it's mostly the case tho, especially performance. What so ever, if it's built-in from a provider, the provider is shit. I would highly recommend you to start with a fresh copy of 1.0.6.1.

If you need any help with installing scripts let us know but I can definetly say that you gain more experience in being a server admin if you start from scratch. The WAI system is pretty easy to install by the way and it should cause no errors. I suggest you use the upgraded version from JasonTM, he included all overwatch weapons aswell and added some additional configuration.

Well, that script has not been updated to work with how it should publish permanent items, so yes, you will need to disable that otherwise you will continue to get that error

No, that will not be stopping missions from spawning.

Your mission problem seems to me like your bandit array: https://github.com/worldwidesorrow/Wicked-Ai-Overpoch/blob/master/WAI/config.sqf#L201 is broken and it  can't find a random one to spawn.

[totis]

The weird thing is i believe somehow is affected by server performance cause on my test server i cant replicate the problem while on the main cause its more stressed from ppl playing its there. and all these points logically to server fps being low but its not.

Salival i have 0 set to bandit missions but i took the advice from iwbuk to add missions there even though i only run hero missions.

I will disable gem cradting and test again just to be sure if  adding of bandit missions dont work.

If all fails a new server install might be only option left.

Can you advice me if the way i did the heavy armored vehilcle missions is correct?

I added a  new category to wai config like this:

heavy_armed_vehicle         = ["BMP3","T72_INS","BTR60_TK_EP1","AW159_lynx_baf","Ka52Black"];

and pointed my mission like this:

    _vehclass         = heavy_armed_vehicle call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
    _vehname         = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _vehclass >> "displayName");

How it looks?

 

[lwbuk]

What is your server fps, note this is server, not client as reported by infistar etc. It's reported in your rpt, or you can log in as admin by typing #login yourpassword and then type #monitor in the chat box. 

[totis]

wordt i seen it was 7-10 fps with full server. usually is around 25-35

[totis]

Just found out why missions werent spawning. Bloody thing was calling hero missions even though were set to 0 :)

Anyone knows a fix for this bug?

[totis]

tnx all for helping and iwbuk you were right. some bug there was calling hero missions even though it was set to 0.

Now the question, how to make hero missions be called 'bandit' and edit to give humanity?
