[RELEASE] Customized A2Logistics Tow/Lift [Updated for 1.0.7.1+]

[looter809]

I made some modifications to the A2Logistics tow/lift script a while ago and finally got around to making an official fork for anyone to use. It makes a better attempt at considering weights of vehicles to add a more realistic spin on towing and lifting. It should be fairly straightforward if you wish to modify anything.
Here's some of the changes it brings:

• Adds tiers of vehicles by estimated weight such as Large, Medium, Small, and Tiny for Ground and Air vehicles.
• A vehicle can tow anything of it's own size or smaller. So a Large ground vehicle can tow any ground vehicle. A medium vehicle like an SUV can only tow other medium vehicles and smaller.
• A tank can tow any ground vehicle BUT can not be lifted
• A Large helicopter can lift small and tiny helicopters.
• A Large helicopter can lift any ground vehicle, whereas a medium helicopter can only lift medium and smaller.
• The airTug car (classname "TowingTractor" and other tractors) can tow any plane.
• Most boats are considered 'medium' cars
• Adds option to drop lifted vehicles when flying above 50 alt
• If you drop a vehicle above 50 alt, it will get a parachute and smoke grenade attached. "ParachuteBigWest" if large vehicle, otherwise "ParachuteMediumWest"
• Automatically translates for english, german, and french players on a per player basis. Previously the server developer had to choose one for all players

You can find the download and install instructions HERE

Enjoy!

Good Job Mate!!!
That looks like more realistic!

Big THX from our Server Players!!!

Working great, thx for the update! 

Was looking for something like this, since weeks.

I found "mt-tow updated to 1.0.7", but never got it to work properly.

This one works like a charm :D

THX again!

@Doggyman @Arturius1967 Glad you and your players all enjoy it. Even more glad the customizations I made are actually getting used and this post didn't just get buried in the forums.

I can't find this line in init.sqf

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "server_traders.sqf";

I have used this one :

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\mission\server_traders\chernarus11.sqf";

But I have another problem, some trucks can not tow anything, for example the Kamaz_DZE. I have added it to the large_trucks list, but no tow action avaliable.

I have the line call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "server_traders.sqf"; not!
So I got it under 
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\mission\server_traders\chernarus11.sqf"; .
Then when I go to the server script logistic\lang\_lang.sqf not found comes up.
I don't understand where the problem is

Did you copy the "Logistics" folder to your "Server/MpMissions/Chernarus11" folder ?

What language are you using ? This script supports only german(de) / english (en) / french(fr).

Did you install the localisationscript ?:

---------------------------------------------

• Install https://github.com/oiad/communityLocalizations if you haven't already.
• Add the following below <Project name="DayZ Community">

<Package name="Logistic">
		<Key ID="STR_LOG_CFG_LANG">
            <English>en</English>
            <German>de</German>
            <French>fe</French>
        </Key>
</Package>

This has recently been fixed. See updated version

[looter809]

A few days ago I updated the repo to have better install instructions and created a stringtable instead of the old way of translating. Also just updated to add russian translations.

[Arturius1967]

Thx for the update, will test is in the next days. I hope my truck towing problem is solved with this.
