Backpacks despawn

[MGT]

When dropping backpacks to change clothes anywhere on the map(s) your backpack if it has items in it when you've changed clothes you can no longer see it, if it is emtpy it doesn't.

Any idea of a fix?

Just seen this https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/commit/bf189761ad0090e05725474ee4d66b54aa982988

 

Pull to mission file and link from compiles.

So, 

private ["_weapons","_magazines","_weaponscnt","_magazinescnt","_backpack"];
_backpack = nearestObject [player, "Bag_Base_EP1"];
if (!(isNull _backpack) and local _backpack) then {
        _weapons =                 getWeaponCargo _backpack;
        _magazines =         getMagazineCargo _backpack;
        _weaponscnt = count (_weapons select 0);
        _magazinescnt = count (_magazines select 0);
        if((_magazinescnt > 0) or (_weaponscnt > 0)) then {
                /* PVS/PVC - Skaronator */
                _pos = getPosATL player;
                _inRange = _pos nearEntities ["CAManBase",300];
                {
                        // run only on other players 
                        if(isPlayer _x and _x != player) then {
                                PVDZE_send = [_x,"HideObj",[_backpack]];
                                publicVariableServer "PVDZE_send";
                        };
                } forEach _inRange;
        };
};

and

 

player_dumpBackpack = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Fixes\player_dumpBackpack.sqf";

is confirmed to work?

[MGT]

Yes, just tested on my dev server, working as it should.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Glad this is being fixed. I posted the same thing here, earlier today: 

[cletus]

thanks fix is working here too

[kramarz]

And ive just tested the fix here. If i drop an empty backpack, it stays. but a backpack with loot in it, it dissapears. And dissapears for everyone.

 

I've changed my files according to this:

https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/commit/bf189761ad0090e05725474ee4d66b54aa982988

 

And no, it's not working.

[kramarz]

Did anyone manage to fix it?

 

I didnt pull the files to my mission file. I've edited the dayz_code files instead. It's not working. :(

[Defent]

You need to compile the file on your server, otherwise it won't work.

 

Open compiles.sqf on your server and add this line:

player_dumpBackpack = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "Fixes\player_dumpBackpack.sqf";

and then make or copy the file player_dumpBackpack.sqf to the Fixes folder and add the code I posted above in it.

 

That should fix it.

[MGT]

Working fine for us

 

You need to pull player_dumpBackpack.sqf to your mission file from dayz_code and link it in a custom compiles.sqf (search forum for that)

Edit player_dumpBackpack.sqf with the following

private ["_weapons","_magazines","_weaponscnt","_magazinescnt","_backpack"];
_backpack = nearestObject [player, "Bag_Base_EP1"];
if (!(isNull _backpack) and local _backpack) then {
	_weapons = 		getWeaponCargo _backpack;
	_magazines = 	getMagazineCargo _backpack;
	_weaponscnt = count (_weapons select 0);
	_magazinescnt = count (_magazines select 0);
	if((_magazinescnt > 0) or (_weaponscnt > 0)) then {
		/* PVS/PVC - Skaronator */
		_pos = getPosATL player;
		_inRange = _pos nearEntities ["CAManBase",300];
		{
		// run only on other players 
		if(isPlayer _x and _x != player) then {
		PVDZE_send = [_x,"HideObj",[_backpack]];
		publicVariableServer "PVDZE_send";
     };
		} forEach _inRange;
	};
};

Dont think you understood me.

 

I've edited the file "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_dumpBackpack.sqf";"

 

I didnt pull it into my mission.

I've unPBO the dayz_code, edited the file player_dumpBackpack.sqf according to instructions. PBOed it back and reuploaded in the server.

 

I am using a custom compiles.sqf file in my mission file. and it already contains the line:

player_dumpBackpack =  compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_dumpBackpack.sqf";

And my init.sqf is calling the custom compiles.sqf:

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\compiles.sqf";

So i do not see why it doesnt work?

 

I basically did what you guys did, but without pulling the file to my mission file. And using a custom compiles.

You must put it in the MISSION file as you are editing the client files, server side that the client does not ever have access to. The mission file version will overwrite the client sides version.

[Firefly]

Isn't this being fixed with 1.4.1 anyhoo?

[WEB11]

You'd hope so.

Alright. really strange tho, cause other stuff that i made changes to in dayz_code, worked normally, i didnt have to call them from inside the mission file. But oh well, it worked, thats what matters, heh. Thanks!

[vbawol]

The fix mentioned above is from 1.0.4.1 so yes.

[warriorn1]

So Backpacks are being "hidden" to other players if you drop it within 300m of another player?

alot of players on my server are asking why they cant see the backpack that the friend dropped and sometimes if an "empty" backpack is dropped they see the Text but still cant do anything with it.

[BetterDeadThanZed]

The fix mentioned above is from 1.0.4.1 so yes.

 

I won't be able to update my server from 1.0.3.1 until Sunday so I'm hoping the 1.0.4.1 update will be available by then! :)

[Guest]

yeah, would be great

[Guest]

do i have to REMOVE the player_dumpBackpack.sqf from dayz_code compile? or just add a copy to missions?

[MGT]

Just copy it to missions and edit and pull from a custom compiles. You can remove it from dayz_code otherwise players wont be able to connect to your server.

i guess you mean i cant remove it.

Thanks alot!

[kiel367]

would it not work by putting it into your mission folder and running it with this code?

 

[] ExexVM "player_DumpBackpack.sqf"; in the init?

 

im running on vilayer so our hosting might have a different way of structuring the files

 

we dont run a custom compiles folder

 

nvm just tested it, doesnt work
