Config based trader set up 1.0.4.1

BetterDeadThanZed · February 8, 2014

I haven't looked at the 1.0.4.1 files yet, so I'm wondering if someone could explain this "Config Based Trader set up" I saw in the change log.

[NEW] Config based trader setup option that is more performant, however does not track inventory. DZE_ConfigTrader = true; and #include "\dayz_epoch_b\CfgServerTrader\cfgServerTrader.hpp" in description.ext @Fank @Skaronator @vbawol

BetterDeadThanZed · February 11, 2014

Anyone?

vbawol · February 11, 2014

It uses static configs for pricing and items on traders instead of the database. It is very fast because of this but does not track inventory.

cen · February 11, 2014

What file is storing the prices, items, TIDs, etc?

thekaboobie · February 13, 2014

some additional information on this would be lovely as I'm trying to determine if this could be used to fix the issue I am having with custom trader additions not selling due to lack of inventory, even though they are stocked to 200 in the db.

TheVampire · February 13, 2014

You add DZE_ConfigTrader = true; to your init.sqf

Add

#include "\dayz_epoch_b\CfgServerTrader\cfgServerTrader.hpp"

to your Description.ext.

What it is essentially is the entire traders_data table from the database in a Cfg file instead. This is faster than the server needing to connect to the database to ask what the trader is selling, and if there is any left.

If you did want to switch to this though, and you have custom items in your Traders_data you need to pull a copy of cfgServerTrader.hpp from dayz_epoch_b.pbo in your @DayZ_Epoch folder, add it to your mission.pbo, and then modify it to point to the custom config based on what you are adding.

There's a config file for each trader_tids entry in your database from the looks of it.

And the contents of these files look something like this:

class Category_577 {
	class 30Rnd_556x45_StanagSD {
		type = "trade_items";
		buy[] = {4,"ItemSilverBar10oz"};
		sell[] = {2,"ItemSilverBar10oz"};
	};
	class 5Rnd_86x70_L115A1 {
		type = "trade_items";
		buy[] = {4,"ItemGoldBar"};
		sell[] = {2,"ItemGoldBar"};
	};
	class 100Rnd_762x51_M240 {
		type = "trade_items";
		buy[] = {2,"ItemGoldBar"};
		sell[] = {1,"ItemGoldBar"};
	};
	class 20Rnd_762x51_FNFAL {
		type = "trade_items";
		buy[] = {4,"ItemSilverBar10oz"};
		sell[] = {2,"ItemSilverBar10oz"};
	};
	class 20Rnd_762x51_SB_SCAR {
		type = "trade_items";
		buy[] = {1,"ItemGoldBar"};
		sell[] = {5,"ItemSilverBar10oz"};
	};
};

Which looks like its the same as the database. The class Catagory_### probably points to a trader TID.

Thanks a bunch this is really going to help me once I figure out one last thing. Any recommendation on where I put this inside the description?

Also a tip to some who may be trying to utilize this. Make sure your server traders id's match up to any of the id's in those configs. If they do not you will not have any items displayed when you select your traders.

I don't think it matters, probably either the very bottom, or somewhere near the top.

thekaboobie · February 16, 2014

Hmm I am getting ErrorMessage: Config : some input after EndOfFile. in my rpt log when I have this added to the description. Any ideas? I have customized some things but I don't see anything erroneous in any of the files.

All new items or prices i changed in all of the CfgServerTrader\Category\ files seems not to get loaded.

Anything im missing?

Hmm, pulled a copy of the CfgServerTrader folder from the dayz_epoch_b.pbo to my missionfolder

Set

You need to point them to new versions in your mission.pbo.

I believe cfgServerTrader.hpp still points to the pbo instead of your files unless you change the lines in it.

if i change the path to something like:

"CfgServerTrader\Category\Neutralxxxxx.hpp"

it says cant find the file, so the files get called it seems but nothing changes when i get into trader menu.

I changed for example the prices for the AN2 on the airplane dealer which is TID 517 on Cherno and also on Sauerland.

But it has always the price i set in the database.

If i change the price in the database and restart server it changes fine.

But it dont take the changes from these files :wacko:
