General Editing and Common Questions: 

 

Changing time: 

By the way this is pulled straight from the old forum!

Thank you Tarvin!

For mission timing edit the file file -> missionCfg.sqf

// Time between missions (seconds)

wai_mission_timer = 300; // = 300 sec = 5 min; 900 sec = 15 min; it time to start first mission after server start and next mission after start previous

// How long before a mission times out (seconds)

wai_mission_timeout = 1200; // = 1200 sec = 20 min; 1800 sec = 30 min; it's time to clear mission loot after start

The number is calculated in seconds. So to work out something you want you take 60 and multiply by how many minutes you want.

e.g. 60 (seconds) X 20 = 1200 This will produce a 20 minutes timer

Do Note:

A common reason for the server not spawning in a mission at the desired time is that the server is lagging and this causes time to essentially slow down. Fix the lag and the missions will spawn at the right times. You have to find the balance between material in your server (Add ons) and lag.

 

Easy way to find Database Coords/Custom Debug:

In your custom compiles file you want to change your dayz_spaceInterrupt file path. For me it is as so.

dayz_spaceInterrupt = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Scripts\dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf";

 

You will need to obtain the dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf file from the client files. This is located in dayz_code\Actions Copy and paste it into a folder called Scripts in your mission pbo. 

With in Dayz_spaceinterrupt at line 117 you will find this chunk of code:

 

if (_dikCode == 210) then {
_nill = execvm "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\playerstats.sqf";
};

 

Change to the file that you will download attached. 

if (_dikCode == 210) then {

_nill = execvm "Scripts\playerstats.sqf";

};

Simply have this point to your new custom debug.

Attatched I will have the Player stats file for the custom debug monitor. Simply add you and your admins UID's and whola a simple way to get coords!

 
Changing AI behviour:

Again pulled straight from the forums!

/// Sets behavior of AI groups

paddster7, on 25 Dec 2013 - 5:57 PM, said:

ai_combatmode = "RED";

ai_behaviour = "COMBAT";

This code is from the AIconfig.sqf file.

In a previous post the explanation for "ai_behaviour" was given as:

Here are the different ai_beahaviour you can use.

SAFE, CARELESS - Units will stay upright

AWARE, COMBAT - Units will stay upright most of the time, kneeling down occasionally

STEALTH - Units will be prone most of the time

However, can you please give me an explanation of the "ai_combatmode" setting? What is the "RED" mode and what other modes are there?

"BLUE" (Never fire)

When hostile units are detected, they will track them, but will never fire back, even when fired upon.

This mode can only be set through the editor or script. No in-game commands to subordinates can set them to combat mode Blue.

"GREEN" (Hold fire - defend only)

When a player orders his units to "Hold fire", the units are set to combat mode Green.

"WHITE" (Hold fire, engage at will)

"YELLOW" (Fire at will)

If AI spots a target and decides it is in effective range, he will open fire. By default AI is set to YELLOW.

If a leader calls Target, the unit with aim without breaking formation.

"RED" (Fire at will, engage at will)

When a leader commands his units to Engage at will, combat mode RED is set. The AI does not keep formation and each member moves individualy. The leader command Disengage will set the units back to fire at will (YELLOW)

If Attack and Engage is called, the unit will break formation to find the best place to attack from (combat mode RED).

NOTE: To make AI hunt down a known target, you need to use '_unit setCombatMode "RED"'. The Seek & Destroy waypoint only makes the AI to search the vicinity of the waypoint itself. Not affect their behavior on their way to the waypoint itself.

And to your behavior full description :

Safe

It is possible to choose also Careless in mission editor, that expands the behavior for even more free movement (loiter) in range up to 150m.

will use roads, groups travel in convoy (overrides formation command)

stance with lowered weapon

turned out from vehicle

lie down when scared

less turning head, less observing surroundings (limited rate of target database)

Aware

Default behavior.

lie down when scared

soldiers sometimes move in cover

vehicles still prefer roads, travel in convoy

Danger (Combat)

dismiss (loiter movement) canceled

ignores limited speed setting

tends to change stance to kneel or prone

soldiers move in cover

soldiers disembark from some vehicles, e.g. damaged aircraft

turns of vehicle lights

Stealth

dismiss (loiter movement) canceled

faster target acquisition

tends to change stance to kneel or prone

keep themself also out of Unknown targets

soldiers move in cover, routing near structures

soldiers disembark from some vehicles, e.g. damaged aircraft

turns of vehicle lights

tanks avoid passing trees

 
Editing Missions: 
Editing the missions to accommodate your custom server is easy and quick to do if done right. Here I will teach you how to change the basics and a little more advanced stuff like box contents and so forth. Lets get to it.
 
Editing Messages:

The simplest thing you can change is the message that it displays when the missions comes up. There are a total of 3 different messages. Displayed in this order.

- The Mission has started

- The Mission was successfully completed

- The Mission was not completed in time

These are the aims of the three messages now to chow you where they are and how to change them. This is the order in which they are displayed within the script.

The Mission has started message:

[nil,nil,rTitleText,"Bandits have disabled an armed vehicle with lots of chain gun ammo in the gear! Check your map for the location!", "PLAIN",10] call RE;

This will be the first message in this format. Simply change it to what ever you like but as long as you keep the two " markers on each end and you should be fine. For instance:

[nil,nil,rTitleText,"Change only this text", "PLAIN",10] call RE;

So we can gather that this is how the other messages will be displayed. Taking this information you simply change the text to what you like and there you have it a custom message to your players!!

 
Join in progress player marker fix: 
 

I do apologize for this problem and there is a easy fix from what I believe.

Find attached the files your will need to make this work.

Put this at the bottom of your Init.sqf

// Mission System Markers

[] execVM "debug\addmarkers.sqf";

[] execVM "debug\addmarkers75.sqf";

Simply just paste the folder in your mission file and your done!

Let me know the results.

 
Adding RPG/Missiles to turrets:
 

WEB11, on 24 Jan 2014 - 7:33 PM, said:snapback.png

 

I have not had many problems with vehicles and missions. You can change the turrents to a missile turret! Like so:

 

[[[(_position select 0) + 10, (_position select 1) -15, 0]], //position(s) (can be multiple).

"M2StaticMG", //Classname of turret

0.7,                     //Skill level 0-1. Has no effect if using custom skills

"USMC_LHD_Crew_Yellow",                 //Skin "" for random or classname here.

1,                         //Primary gun set number. "Random" for random weapon set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)

2,                         //Number of magazines. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)

"",                         //Backpack "" for random or classname here. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)

"Random",                 //Gearset number. "Random" for random gear set. (not needed if ai_static_useweapon = False)

true                        // mission true

] call spawn_static;

 

Change this line: 

 

"SPG9_TK_INS_EP1", //Classname of turret

 

This is a missile launcher turret. You also don't need to worry if people will pick up RPG's this way. The turrets are not able to be used once they die. 

It does not lock on so it won't be too OP. But bare in mind that people driving by the missions might get killed.

 

 

Another Method that was developed by other used to add RPG's to AI:

 

1) Open SpawnGroup.sqf in WAI/custom/ folder.

Quote

 

To remove RPG once AI is dead open ai_killed.sqf

Quote

 

All credit goes to the original author and WAI, I am merely keeping this information alive.

 

Next I want to find a way to give AI units NVGs, if anyone has that info please share it.

 

cant download .ZIP files. Maybe GITHUB link?

 

it says "Oops! Something went wrong!"

Can anyone help?

 

The same problem! Any solution for this?

Solution to above loot issue.... I had some problems with this for a bit in several different loot spawning scripts

loottable structure has changed ... you need to replace some lines in crashspawner module

_config = configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable;
_itemTypes = [] + getArray (_config >> "itemType");
_index = dayz_CBLBase find toLower(_lootTable);
_weights = dayz_CBLChances select _index;
_cntWeights = count _weights;

with this

    if (DZE_MissionLootTable) then {
        _itemTypes = [] + getArray (missionConfigFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable >> "lootType");
    } else {
        _itemTypes = [] + getArray (configFile >> "CfgBuildingLoot" >> _lootTable >> "lootType");
    };
    _CBLBase = dayz_CBLBase find (toLower(_lootTable));
    _weights = dayz_CBLChances select _CBLBase;
    _cntWeights = count _weights;

and replace this

_index = floor(random _cntWeights);
_index = _weights select _index;
_itemType = _itemTypes select _index;
[_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;

with this

        _index1 = floor(random _cntWeights);
        _index2 = _weights select _index1;
        _itemType = _itemTypes select _index2;
        [_itemType select 0, _itemType select 1, _lootPos, 5] call spawn_loot;

last step, make sure that following vars are registered as private:

_index1, _index2 and _itemTypes

- look ontop of file and add them or replace the line with this one ...

private["_index1","_index2","_itemTypes","_timeAdjust","_timeToSpawn","_spawnRoll","_crash","_hasAdjustment","_newHeight","_adjustedPos","_useStatic","_crashDamage","_lootRadius","_preWaypoints","_preWaypointPos","_endTime","_startTime","_safetyPoint","_heliStart","_deadBody","_exploRange","_heliModel","_lootPos","_list","_craters","_dummy","_wp2","_wp3","_landingzone","_aigroup","_wp","_helipilot","_crash","_crashwreck","_smokerand","_staticcoords","_pos","_dir","_position","_num","_config","_itemType","_itemChance","_weights","_index","_iArray","_crashModel","_lootTable","_guaranteedLoot","_randomizedLoot","_frequency","_variance","_spawnChance","_spawnMarker","_spawnRadius","_spawnFire","_permanentFire","_crashName"];

hope that helps... cheers

Hey man appreciate what your doin here. Quick question I wanna get rid of safe zones and replace it with so guards. If a player fires within X amount of distance the ai would engage them and those that are tagged as friendly to that player. If this can or can't be done please let me know much appreciated

I have same issue, would be great if someone could fix it. This happened for me as soon as I switched to 105 &1051. It seems to happen regardless of arma version as it happened for me on both 112555 and 125402.

replace 

if (_backpack == "") then {
	_aipack = ai_packs call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
} else {
	_aipack = _backpack
};

with 

_aipack = ai_packs call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

Thanks itsatrap!

 

Will give it a go and report back.

 

Do you also know how to get rid of the parachutes that don't despawn after the AI have para dropped? 

 

I am on 112555/1051

 

Thanks again!

Parachutes seem to be a 112555 thing, long fixed with the Steam 1.63 Arma versions:

 

@itsatrap:

Your fix circumvents the (_backpack == "") if clause.

But, looking at the customSpawns.sqf cited above, the  parameter corresponding to _backpack is indeed "".

I knew about the different handling of undefined variables in the new Arma patches, but here _backpack should be defined.

 

So, is this another quirk that you cannot have empty strings as parameters, anymore?

Sad is a massive understatement! :-D

Sooner all the disparate launchers are sorted out, the better.

But if you look at both servers and players over 80% of both are still on dzc and pre steam beta.

Also, the number of players in general has dropped steeply because of this and 'stuck at the loadscreen'.

What really worries me now is the timing of 1052. If it happens before this is all sorted out I'm not sure what will happen to the mod....

I've installed this system and it's working great, I've added the RPG7 addon someone recommended here to give them the chance to spawn with the RPG7 and now I'm getting this error in my RPT file a lot:

 

1:32:26 Error in expression <Magazine _magazine;};
_para addBackpack _aipack;
{_para addMagazine _x} forEach >
 1:32:26   Error position: <_aipack;

 1:32:26   Error Undefined variable in expression: _aipack
 1:32:26 File z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\compile\heli_para.sqf, line 137
 
Would this most likely be from it attempting to add a RPG to the infantry in the heli?

the suggested fix is only one page, 11 posts back in this thread......
