[RESOLVED] Adding Items & Repacking dayz_code PBO

[Aristoi]

Hello all,

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

What I'm trying to do is add a new storage item (a wooden crate, based on GunRack_DZ) and repack the dayz_code pbo (with the goal of sending a pull request upstream via github).  I've started with the github source for 1.0.3.1c, and I've been using binPBO with settings similar to what vbawol mentioned here:  https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/issues/914 .

 

Once compiled, I am deploying the new pbo to my local client and server.

 

It works somewhat, in that I can:

• Create ItemWoodenCrateKit from PartWoodLumber x 6
• Use ItemWoodenCrateKit to place WoodenCrate_DZ (movable as a normal construction)
• Add items to WoodenCrate_DZ (does not show capacity)

Unfortunately, there are some RPT errors and it is not saved to the hive.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I assume it is something on my end with how I am packing the PBO or have defined the classes.

 

Does anyone have any pointers as to where I have gone off the rails?

 

Thanks!

Things like this need to be done in the mod, make a pull request here: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch with your proposed changes.

[Aristoi]

Thanks for the reply, vbawol!  I certainly intend to make a pull request, but I would normally want to test them beforehand.

 

Is it not possible to repack the pbo and test these changes in a local server before making the pull request?

[Axe Cop]

sure you can do that, keep in mind you have to use the same dayz_code.pbo on the server and client(s) you test with!

you might need to update the dayz_code.pbo.dayz_vb.bisign maybe? I am not certain about that just google it maybe :)

Thanks for the reply, Axecop.

 

I did update both the client and the server with the same pbo, specifically:

 

Server: C:\DayZ Epoch Server\@DayZ_Epoch\addons\dayz_code.pbo

Client:  C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@DayZ_Epoch\addons\dayz_code.pbo

 

I wondered about the file dayz_code.pbo.dayz_vb.bisign, though I though I was getting around by setting:

 

C:\DayZ Epoch Server\instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg

verifySignatures = 0;

I can certainly try generating a new .besign file.

 

I was hoping the behavior I was seeing would easily indicate what was wrong to the experts, but maybe not.  I'll keep at it, I'm sure I've done something wrong.

[Aristoi]

I was able to fix it by repacking the dayz_code for the Nth time and redeploying it, along with deleting the .bisign files from, both client and server.  Then it worked perfectly.

 

Just as a test, I added back both .bisign files and all still worked right, so it must have been a packing or deployment issue, though I am not certain what.

 

At least it is working now!

 

Thanks for the help, Axecop and vbawol!

[Wheresmyural]

I have a question on the above, it was noted that client and server pbo should match. That's fine for me but surely everyone else would have to amend their file too.? What about new players who had the vanilla client file? Would they be unable to play ?

[Meowzors]

Yes, they would not be able to play... That is why I wish there was a way to override item classes in the mission files.  Would make servers a lot more customizable with new players automatically getting new files for the server they are joining
