Kill Message

[DavemanDingo]

I am helping run a non PvP server and it would help to have a kill message when someone gets killed by a player or even AI/zombies. I have seen them on other servers, where it says who shot who, with what, & the distance. I'm not having any luck finding any help on the web.

 

Thanks in advance!

Customize Death Messages

Untested

Enables global chat messaging of player deaths. (Also requires enableRadio true;?)

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;

Enables side chat messaging of player deaths. (Also requires enableRadio true;?)

DZE_DeathMsgSide = true;

Enables global title text messaging of player deaths.

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

These don't work for me.  Never been able to figure out why.  I think a Global one popped up one time only.

 

Before asked, yes I set enableRadio.  Tried both //enableRadio false; and enableRadio true;.  All that's managed to accomplish is the Trader's saying Good Morning to me, haha

Tile text works, but often flashes to fast to really be read.

 

Awol said he was going to look into fixing it.

Ran some quick tests last night. Small sample size of 20 or so player kills, but Global channel and title text notifications appear to work very consistently. Global channel notifications always displayed, with only 1 title next notification that didn't display. Side channel notifications weren't displayed for any kill.

 

Working

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

 

Not working

DZE_DeathMsgSide = true;

 

Using:

enableRadio true;

in init.sqf (not sure if this makes any difference)

[DavemanDingo]

So is it a message that says "fr1nk killed DavemanDingo with a M14"? Or a message that just says "DavemanDingo died"?

can we have this only server side in log ?

I don't wanted mu user can see it, cause when you shoot, you don"t know if you hit or kill (RP).

But for me i just want to know how kill how in log server 

 

Is that possible ?

No idea  :lol:

[DavemanDingo]

And was that message Global or title text notification?

by default there is a death message logged server side look for "PKILL:".

[fr1nk]

And was that message Global or title text notification?

 

The text in the bottom-left = Global channel

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;

The text in the centre = Title text

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

[mikeeeeee]

where exactly did you add:

 

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

 

in the init? its not really working for me.

Right under:

// DayZ Epoch config

Actually using DZE_DeathMsgTitleText with enable radio = true; and oddly I'm the only person that sees those messages, the rest of the server does not see them. I have 5 radio set to 1 in my BE filters so I'm not sure why only me as the admin can see the message.

[Corex]

I've set the deathmsg's but it doesn't work. Then I've added maca134's deathmessagefix but that only seems to send the message to the killer. Only trying to use global death messages.

[mikeeeeee]

Thx for help fr1nk. had it before but now it works.

Delete this :3

[cobramike]

This is stil not working. Anny one have a fix for this

[wokkelwakker]

by default there is a death message logged server side look for "PKILL:".

 

In what file would this be logged? Or is the actual file called PKILL

 

EDIT:

 

Never mind. It's logged in the ARMA2OASERVER.RPT.

 

How difficult would it be to write these values to a custom table in the mysql database?

[cobramike]

Ok this is stil not working. What is going on. Why is this not working. And there are no errors for Pkills

[Sandbird]

+1

 

The hack for the global message was iffy from the beginning...

How hard is it to fix this i wonder....

[Richie]

Anyone got this working on 1.0.3 yet ?

[Bondue]

Is it possible to send this message through systemChat?

[Carp!]

I am running 1.0.4.2 and I got this to work by modifying the following:

 

//Customize Death Messages

//Enables global chat messaging of player deaths. (Also requires enableRadio true;?)   (Default: false)

DZE_DeathMsgGlobal = true;

 

//Enables side chat messaging of player deaths. (Also requires enableRadio true;?)   (Default: false)

DZE_DeathMsgSide = true;

 

//Enables global title text messaging of player deaths.  (Default: false)

DZE_DeathMsgTitleText = true;

 

and I also set the following:

enableRadio true;

enableSentences true;

 

Note: We tested this 5 times in a row and certian players got different messages. I got just the message in side chat where others had both side chat and global. Some didnt get one at all. Wierd. Hope this helps!
