Graphical Spawn Select for Taviana

[Darce]

Thought I'd share the Spawn select routine I use on my server.  It's much the same as the other spawn select scripts floating around, just prettier :)

Hope it's useful.

Great release :)

 

Apart from the coordinates is there anything that actully makes this Taviana specific ? could i use it on another map if i updated the locations ?

I am trying this with less spawn options and i have a huge problem with random selection.

I had to change the line where it says about option 13 to this:

if (drnspawn == 13) then {drnsspawn = floor (random (count _DRNLocs));};

so i can select a random number between 0-7.

The problem is that when i select button 13, _DRNloc  always returns NULL !!

And its driving me crazy......... What is wrong with this : ?????

waitUntil { drnspawn != -1};
if (drnspawn == 13) then {drnsspawn = floor (random (count _DRNLocs));};
_DRNloc = _DRNLocs select drnspawn;

I think you should have the same problem when you select random.

 

EDIT: 

Dude, T_T......    2h i've been going about this....you got a mistake in your brackets.  Its drnspawn not drnsspawn (double s).

You would also have to change the dialog.hpp and image file but the principle would be the same.

Bugger me.  You're right, a hold over from an earlier version.  Fixed in the git.

Check to ensure your description.ext includes the DRNdialogs.hpp and that the pathing is correct.  Check your server_rpt to see if there are any syntax errors, I'm a shocking typist :)

Correct it needs to be #includes, the readme seems to think that "#" means "Put this in really big letters" :/

 

Not sure about the Halo spawn and shore mode settings, but that would make sense (I have them both off)

I also use a credits script, not sure about the playerspawn script you're talking about.  Something is preventing the dialog from being triggered it seems.  Are there no clues in your arma2oaserver.rpt?

 

What should be happening is that a new player (or a dead one respawning) get's put somewhere on the map by the playermonitor.fsm (in dayzcode.pbo).  It uses dayzPlayerLogin2 as a flag to let everything know it's a fresh spawn.

My script detects this, at the end of the ini, then blacks out the screen, displays the pretty map and the button press tells the DRNspawn script where the player wants to move to.  It's why you'll get a 'bogus' location when the dialog is first displayed.

 

Only time you should have issues would be if you have reduced the standard teleport limits (in the variables.sqf), the default values don't trigger the anti-teleport on my server.

has anyone got this working ??

[Hisperin]

Doesnt work for me either.

 

First i guess my infistar would block this.

But then i tryed it on a fresh server (standart epoch server and mission files) and it didnt work.

 

I guess you forget one change you made.

 

And i cant find anythig in the logs. The server find the files etc. but doesnt start them.

[Darce]

Apologies gents, I did miss a step.

 

Line 236 in server_playerSetup.sqf (within your server.pbo under compiles) needs to be modified to read

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot];  (add the ",_randomSpot" into the array)

 

It's the _randomspot part of the array being not null which triggers the script.

 

Let me know if that works or not.

[Hisperin]

Yep that works for me. The Spawn selection pops up.

 

But sometimes i just stay spawned on ortok ?

 

Edit:

To prevent this try

 

 spawn shore= 0

[Hisperin]

It seems if shorespawn mode is on he trys to find a position on shore, even without spawn random.

 

Correct me if i am wrong.

[NorthyPark]

Works like a charm now! thx

:D

[axekie]

Now works Thank you for nice script   :D

[NorthyPark]

is there a chance you can make this for the new map's like Napf and saurland? :) that would blow my mind ;)

[calamity]

still not working for me :(

I spawn in placen then map comes up I click on spawn point it dissapears and Im still in same spot ???

[calamity]

still not working for me  :(

I DO not have the screenshot.jpg in the addons. thats ok right ?

 

my init.sqf has these parameters

 

spawnShoremode = 1; // Default = 1 (on shore)

spawnArea = 1500; // Default = 1500

dayz_paraSpawn = false;

 

and 

waitUntil {!isNil ("PVDZE_plr_LoginRecord")}; if (dayzPlayerLogin2 select 2) then { [] execVM "addons\DRNSpawn.sqf"; };

 

description.ext

#include "addons\DRNdialogs.hpp"

 

server_playerSetup.sqf 

 

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot]; 

[flakvest]

OK so I still spawn on the shore but I see some people say they got it working.  Does spawnshoremode need to be set to 0 or was there something else you had to do to get it working? 

 

[calamity]

I found it in server_playerSetup.sqf 

dayzPlayerLogin2 = [_worldspace,_state,_randomSpot]; 

 

still does not work for me so I could be wrong.

 

I spawn in game then map comes up then I pick spawn point  but nothing happends

[flakvest]

Ok I got it working by changing

 

spawnShoremode = 1;

 

to this

 

spawnShoremode = 0;

 

In init.sqf
