Changes in dayz_server.pbo are being ignored.

{UPDATE}

 

Problem half solved by deleting everything inside the addons folder but the dayz_server.pbo and after recreating a brand new one.

 

Goodday community,

 

I usually try to deal with server issues myself as I believe that's the best way to learn stuff, but I brought myself to the edge of hysteria trying to install addons that use modifications inside dayz_server.pbo

 

Anything I add to my mpmission folder is correctly added and loaded by client and server but when I try to install stuff that requires to modify files inside dayz_server.pbo, nothing happens inside the server.

 

Taking DZAI as instance: it has two ways to be installed, one with a simple alteration of the server_monitor.sqf file along copying DZAI folder inside the root of the .pbo, and another one by editing the mission.pbo file (that I understand being discontinued as it is just a bunch of folders inside something like "DayZ_Epoch_16.Panthera2") along with the same DZAI folder copy and some line adding inside the mission init.sqf.

 

The former installation returns no success as nothing happens and my .RPT shows no informations about DZAI (even if extreme debugging were set to true). The latter gives a nice working addon, with helis chopping around and headshots taken pout of nowhere. But my noobishness is another issue... And the .RPT talks nicely about DZAI.

 

I would like to use Wicked AI missions but that only has dayz_server.pbo installation and that doesn't seem to work.

 

Just another few lines to let people understand my problem:

My dayz_server.pbo works well and it is packed well as the server returns no errors but when (for instance) call a script inside it (like adding [] ExecVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\init.sqf"; in my mission init.sqf) the server returns that file doesn't exist... and that's not true at all of course.

 

What's wrong with it (or me)?

Do I need to paste some more info I can't think about it atm?

 

Thanks in advance for any kind of help I might get :)

I too am having Problems installing My Admin Script Server PBO acts like its not there

Delete your .rpt file, restart server and join again. Now locate the rpt file and open it and see if you can find any errors. One missing bracket or whatever can cause scripts to break but still let the server function properly.

Half good news:

 

I managed to get my dayz_server.pbo to work by removing everything inside the addons folder leaving only the .pbo, and after recreating a new one. The weird thing is that it is again ignoring any further changes... oh well, DZAI and WAI are working nontheless.

 

Just a note not regarding the .pbo: why my safe isn't selectable anymore? No scroll menu appears when I look at it from any kind of angle.

 

Any hint?

Prolly messed up something in your fn_selfactions. Can you access vehicles?

[azmodanfury]

No in fact, and I'm realizing some pieces of my builded house are starting to miss at every server restart.

 

What could be wrong? I just followed the instructions to install Krixes Self Bloodbag and HALO Jump.

 

Shall I include in my custom fn_selfActions.sqf the default contents found in the dayz_code.pbo?

 

Which dayz_code.pbo shall I use? Epoch or DayZ as I have two?

 

Note: I can access helis, maybe becouse of the Halo Jump actions script.

[azmodanfury]

Okay, I had to use the Epoch fn_SelfActions.sqf and add the Bloodbag and Halo Jump code inside. Both working flawlessly now.

 

I still missing some piece of corrugated fence and garage doors though... could they be deleted from the DB?

 

And how? :mellow:

Check your hiveext.ini file and make sure you don't have base cleanup enabled.

[azmodanfury]

The fact is, I had my base builded for a week. Now I am missing some parts. I will check that var, though...

 

I see the cleanup var refers to an Hive server, mine is a very private one. Anyway that var is commented out.

 

Any other idea?

The hive thing is misleading, it DOES apply to your private server.

 

If the variable is commented out it will default to deleting things that are older than 6 days. Uncomment it out and set the value to -1.

 

Note that if you added all of the recommended SQLs that come in the Epoch Server download to your database object cleanup will still delete anything that hasn't been updated within 42 days.

Take fn_SelfActions and compiles from Epoch dayz_code, nothing else will work. Place those in your mission file and call compiles from init and fn_SelfActions from compiles. Then make your needed changes for bloodbag etc.

 

You need to set negative value to hiveext.ini to stop decaying and make sure that it is not uncommented.
