0 Bob_the_K Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Mine didn't allow gender selection under 1.0.3.1. I couldn't figure it out and no one could explain why or even give a plausible explanation so I decided to wait for the upgrade. Now that I'm running 1.0.4.2 my server still does not allow gender selection. I'm running a plain vanilla Epoch Chernarus server on my own server in my house on my own LAN. So I have access to everything. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hybridfury Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I am still looking for an answer to this please. I had gender selection working under 1.0.3.1, but ever since I updated to 1.0.4.2 I cannot select gender after death. Anyone have any ideas please. What files control this setting? I'm hosted through HFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hybridfury Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Anyone? Please. It is just a black screen for about 5 seconds where gender selection should happen, but then you are just put in game as the male character. No choice is ever given.

0 hybridfury Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ok, after further testing it would seem this issue is only affecting me and only on my server. I went to another server and got gender selection just fine. I had a friend test gender selection on my server and he got it just fine. So any ideas?

0 Bob_the_K Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 On my server I found what looks like a gender selection screen dislpay conditional (dayz_DisplayGenderSelect). It's in Dayz_server.pbo>init>compiles.sqf. Around line 414 in the 1.0.4.2a code, the following appears: if (!isNil "dayz_DisplayGenderSelect") then { waitUntil {!dayz_DisplayGenderSelect}; Problem is that I haven't yet found where that value is set or changed based on spawn-in conditions. Not being too familiar with the Arma scripting tools, I don't know if there are global search tools that allow one to search across the PBOs into the .sqf files to find all instances of the variable. Does anyone know of any debug tools that work with these scripts to set breakpoints and tracepoints? At least I then may be able to figure out where the call is being made (and if it is even being reached) to display the gender selection screen.

0 Bob_the_K Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks, That's what we're going to do. I don't like it when things don't work like they should so that'll let her play as a female buit my quest will continue. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Birgitte Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm on a private server and I also cannot select female gender. Screen pops up for about a millisecond and is gone and I parachute in as a man. Frustrating... All other players on this server have selection, except me. Someonw must have an answer? Where are you?

0 axeman Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have the same on my dev pc but gaming lappy is fine. Is down to client config. I believe. Try a completely clean install from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PopeyeDSG Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 on my server i am having trouble with the character selection being skipped when the server is 45+ players. Which is resulting in custom donation load-outs not being received by players when it is at full population which is most of the time at the moment. If the server is running at around 30 players or less (night time, non peak hours) it will always ask for male or female selection. So my question is, Can you change it somewhere so that it will always ask for gender selection? please help driving me mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
