Recommended Posts

So I know this has been talked about before.

But a group that players on my server have these outfits

They dont use these on my server but they have it on another?

They said all the owner have to do is add it to there server files and than I can attach them to a player in the database how you would any other skin..

 

Is this true?...

Thats what I thought.. But they said they never had to install anything.

It was all server side.

 

And there was no error pop up thing that said you can not play/edit this mission etc etc..

 

Well you could add them and it wont keep players out unless you request the mod in the description.ext, but they shouldn't be able to see the skins without them being installed. The client doesn't read model info from the server.

Ok.

So can you explain how I add them to test?

Where do I put them and how do I call the file?

 

Thanks for your help.

I have never tried adding Player Models before cause It used to always kick

 

I know the concept, but I've never done it myself because I've never had hosting where I could access the server files.

Could you explain the concept and I will give it a test?

btw.. Your Awesome Vampire! Thanks for all your support on stuff

 

I know the concept is that you add them to the server files :P Of course that not being the server.pbo, but the actual server files.

 

I know how you would normally do it is add the addon pbo to the clientside, change the description.ext to call it, and then define your new skins in the variables.sqf and such. I'm not sure how you would do it the way they were talking about.

 

Sorry I can't give you more info in the right direction.

Its all good.

But im just a little curious.. If I add it into my addons.. How would that get called to the server? to be used

 

As long as you have the PBO in your @DayZ_Epoch you can spawn it in game, and you will see it, and interact with it, but everyone else gets an error and I don't think it can effect them.

Ok sorry im a little confused.

Im doing so much at once lol...

 

On my server.. do I add the addon into the addons folder..

Or into my @DayZ_Epoch? Cause if its in my addons folder than it needs to be called in the launch parameters?

Like I said im new to adding addons to a server cause I never tried it for it kicking players.

I think you just need the addon PBO and Bisign in the Addons folder on your server. Either its going to kick everyone, do something equally weird, or its going to work.
