Custom loadout

[Trizen]

Hey!

 

I'm currently having a problem on my server where as a few of my custom load out sets have stopped working (unknown reason). Unfortunately the only backup of the mission.pbo which I have is recent and includes the problem!

 

As usual the newloadout.sqf is called in the init.sqf of the mission.pbo. 

 

init.sqf:

 

 

if (!isDedicated) then {

...

   //Forces Custom Loadouts Call

[] ExecVM "scripts\newloadout.sqf";

...

 

newloadout.sqf:

//Default Loadout

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked","BoltSteel","BoltSteel","BoltSteel"];
DefaultWeapons = ["Crossbow","glock17_EP1","ItemMap","ItemFlashlightRed","ItemHatchet"];
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";
DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["166587590", "30015046"]) then {

	DefaultBackpack = "DZ_LargeGunBag_EP1";
	DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";};

	DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";};

Any help as to why people only seem to spawn with the default loadout would be greatly appreciated.

Idk man mine is working. You might want to try to check your syntax. Otherwise, here is mine for an example...

//Admin Loadout
if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["UIDs"]) then {  //Admins: Filtechplay, FragZ, David
    DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemBloodbag","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","Skin_Graves_Light_DZ","FoodSteakCooked","20Rnd_B_AA12_74Slug","20Rnd_B_AA12_Pellets","20Rnd_B_AA12_Pellets","ItemGoldBar10oz","10Rnd_127x99_m107","10Rnd_127x99_m107"];
    DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","AA12_PMC","Binocular_Vector","NVGoggles","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemGPS","ItemWatch","ItemKnife","Itemtoolbox","ItemCrowbar","Itemetool","ItemHatchet_DZE"];
    DefaultBackpack = "DZ_LargeGunBag_EP1";
    };

Im new to this but your default Backpack Weapon looks like it is missing a } and ; on your Default loadout so it is getting stuck there.

 

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

 

 

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";};

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

I don't think this is an issue.

There is no '{' which means there is no need to add this '}'.

 

 

This is what I have used and so far I have not noticed any issues but I have a very low population on my server so can't state that it will work 100% of the time.

I have the same issue with it grabbing default loadouts. I even scripted in an if/else statement to force it to choose. The only way I got it to take, was to delete all records of the id from the database and it would spawn in.

Ah, I figured out a trick to deal with it. When a player with a custom loadout dies, they have to complely log out and close the client. When I upgraded to 1.0.4.2, I discovered this step wasn't needed, until I re-added Sarge AI.

 

Oh well

I have made an addon to my site linked to phpbb3 forums that gets UIDS as part of registration, then gets lists of gear from a database uses the players forum group to decide what group they belong to then it constructs 3 files.

1 for default starting gear, 1 for group starting gear and 1 for personal starting gear.

 

Then it uploads the created file to the FTP of the the server so next time it restarts it is applied, the only problem i am having atm is i can't work out what the correct method is for entering backpack items.

 

If i wanted to give 5 steaks in the players backpack at the start do i enter it in the DefaultBackpackWeapon field? it's not a weapon so why should it?

Also to help the OP here is my working SQF (as constructed by website)

 

//group UIDs
        //Members of FoRe Member group
        FoRe_all = ["12345678910","12345678910","12345678910","12345678910","12345678910","12345678910","12345678910","12345678910"];
        //Members of FoRe Officers group
        FoRe_off = [];
        //Members of xHG Clan group
        xHG = [];
        
        
        //group gears
        //IF is in FoRe Member group
        if ((getPlayerUID player) in FoRe_all) then {
        
        DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage", "ItemPainkiller", "ItemMorphine", "FoodbeefCooked", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "ItemSodaPepsi", "PartWheel", "Skin_Soldier1_DZ"];
        DefaultWeapons = ["Makarov", "Crossbow", "Binocular", "ItemFlashlightRed", "ItemMap", "ItemToolbox"];
        DefaultBackpack = ["DZ_CompactPack"];
        DefaultBackpackWeapon = [];
        };
        //IF is in FoRe Officers group
        if ((getPlayerUID player) in FoRe_off) then {
        
        DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "ItemPainkiller", "ItemMorphine", "FoodbeefCooked", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "ItemSodaPepsi", "PartWheel", "Skin_Rocket_DZ"];
        DefaultWeapons = ["M9", "Crossbow", "Binocular", "ItemFlashlightRed", "ItemMap", "ItemToolbox"];
        DefaultBackpack = ["DZ_GunBag_EP1"];
        DefaultBackpackWeapon = [];
        };
        //IF is in xHG Clan group
        if ((getPlayerUID player) in xHG) then {
        
        DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage", "ItemPainkiller", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow", "WoodenArrow"];
        DefaultWeapons = ["ItemFlashlight", "Crossbow", "ItemMachete"];
        DefaultBackpack = ["DZ_CompactPack_EP1"];
        DefaultBackpackWeapon = [];
        };

 

Differences i noticed are:the [] on defaultbackpack and backpackweapon.
