[Release] Multiple Character Support (now compatible with Epoch 1.0.5.1)

[SadBoy1981]

oh boy, I have explained that several times, you just have to run the query or import my file multichar.sql

if you don't know how to run the query Google "how to run SQL query with navicat" .. there are even videos on YouTube for that "problem".

hope that helps :)

here is screenshot, i get error

What about the current characters on the server? Wil they be gone?

well that error clearly says you already have a column with the same name (Slot), so I guess you have run the query before since I don't think any other mod uses a column with that name??

 

What about the current characters on the server? Wil they be gone?

Do you mean when installing this mod? No all "old" characters will be displayed n the #1 slot. 

do you see "DEFAULT 1" in the query, that means the old chars will be defaulted to slot 1 if not explicitly specified by the script, that's why the database will still work with the default HiveExt.dll  :)

I mean that, I have players on the server right now (With good gear and stuff) Will they lose it when they join after i put this in OR will it be on like the #1 slot?

The players won't lose anything, their current char will available as slot #1 char off course. :)

just install it on a test server with your current database and you can try it yourself with your char.

 

i dont have any columm with that name.

that is very weird, but I can't help you with that it is a simple database query and I am no fan of navicat as that tool is buggy and not user friendly in my opinion..

if you don't have that column how come you get an SQL error that you do? :o

@mattisback1: I don't know what you did but you have some errors in your script files, did you check the lines? Maybe you missed something

The DLL file itself did not change since Epoch 1.0.4 like the original Hive did not change, so it can't be an issue of this version.

[Pro_Speedy]

Getting this in my client rpt

 

Had this working befire but stopped working when i updated to 1.0.5 and then reverted back to .4

 

Error in expression <!dialog && dayz_characterSlot == -2>

  Error position: <dayz_characterSlot == -2>

  Error Undefined variable in expression: dayz_characterslot

[PureMoney]

Matt you missed this step : change the references to those files in your init.sqf to something like "custom\publicEH.sqf" and "custom\player_monitor.sqf"

[prue420]

sorry if i missed it but how do you remove this from you db?

[Axe Cop]

sorry if i missed it but how do you remove this from you db?

just reverse step 1? delete the column from the character_data table.. or leave it there it doesn't matter (the db will still work with the default HiveExt.dll and this extra column)  :D

be aware if you remove the column there may be multiple character for each player, without this mod Epoch will choose the character with the highest ID I guess.

[prue420]

What is the line of code to remove the slot? And ty for the fast response.

[Axe Cop]

what code? do you mean SQL query? you won't need it if you use any kind of database management software (like phpMyAdmin, Navicat or whatever) you can just rightclick the column and click remove or something? Can't be that hard without any coding knowledge I guess :D

If you really want the SQl query for that, here you go lol:

ALTER TABLE character_data DROP COLUMN Slot

[SadBoy1981]

Just want to say that in my server 1.0.5.1 now it works good.

 

I write problems before. I just make mistake with server_monitor and player_monitor  :D

 

[Tricks]

I am on a Vilayer Host and cannot access the PBO in @DayEpochServer to replace the HiveExt.dll. Any thoughts?

Vilayer have the option under Epoch manager

yep, i also use vilayer

[Tricks]

Vilayer have the option under Epoch manager

I don't see an option under Epoch Manager

Help  I get a black screen on login and it jus sits there in black screen til it kicks me back to lobby. the rpt say player has no character id and character id 0. is this because Im running 1.0.5.1 or? does anyone know what I can do

For me help to change my custom compiles and custom variables files.

Original config in init.sqf   

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\variables.sqf";

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf";

[drsubo]

any other ideas because my variables and compiles have a lot of changes in them for other scrips. I don't see what is affecting it like this. anyone else having black screen on 1.0.5.1

[drsubo]

I don't know if this has something to do with my black screen and it not working but when I follow script when it says place the rscdisplaycharacter file in mission folder and add the call to the bottom of the description. it wont load n rpt I get error rsccharacterselectinfotext: undefined base class 'rsctext'. so I went into my description file and added all of the contents of the rscdisplaycharacter file in there instead of putting the file in missions folder and calling it. would that be why. if so we do I get that error when I try like instruction says

[Cannon]

Works great - I was stuck on Waiting for Character data but that was me derping, I put a file that should have been on the server PBO in my mission file.

Fixed that and now it works fine ^_^
