New spawn server info board and welcome message 1.0.6.1

[Diesel Weasel]

I REALLY love the fact that players HAVE to press a continue button. We run a PvE server and even though it's in the title, splash screen, welcome message, and in various messages that pop up through out the day punks still like to claim that they had "no idea" that killing or stealing were against the rules. I have tried so many things that pop up and all but scream it in your face but this is one of the best I have seen. Yes, some will say they "didn't read" it but they had to look for the continue button didn't they? =3

 

I have a question in regards to the temp debug. Is there a way to make it stay up longer or remove it all together? I have edited your script very little (music was starting before the player was logged in so I moved it to start with the info board) and left the bottom alone. When I click continue the debug flashes on the side for what seems to be half a second. Can that be extended to, say, 2 minutes or just taken out? Thank you so much for posting this! I've been wanting something like it for so long!

[Ackusativobjekt]

You copy and paste the code the nice gentleman posted and create your own file, silly. =]

Thanks :D

 

However now I have another problem. When i try to enter the server after I put this in it just says "Wait for host" Would love some guidance on this D:

Check your server RPT file. It probably tells you what the problem is.

How do I do that with Dayz.st? D:

There is no difference that installing on HFB

Hey Asian,

 

What are the 2 variables at the end?

 

sound[]={intromusic.ogg,0.9,1}; 

 

((I Saw a previous post that you said dont edit it.  but i heard intro music on someones server, so i cracked open their PBO to see how it was done,  and they had the first # as 0.5, and it plays superloud.  so just curious what the variables are for, regardless if we shouldnt touch them or not.))

also:

_Time = 20; //Time before the welcome message pop up, and the time it takes before god mode is off
_TimeL = 6; //Time between the welcome message to the end message

This is in seconds, right?

Time - 20; Is that how long from the moment you spawn in till that welcome message pops up?

"time it takes before god mode is off" So soon as you spawn in God mode is on, and turns off 20 seconds later when the welcome message appears?

 

_TimeL = 6; //Time between the welcome message to the end message

That mean the message stays up for 6 seconds??   can you make it so the player can click OK, or CLOSE, or Press "whatever key" to close it?

Works ok, probably could do with the code tidying up a bit.

 

Thnxs to Asian Kid for the original script.

 

Used this method to use only the location pick scroll menu... it didin't work. I respawn and it doesn't show it (neither the text nor the spawn pick menu).

Any help?

Hey Asian,

 

What are the 2 variables at the end?

 

sound[]={intromusic.ogg,0.9,1};

Time - 20; Is that how long from the moment you spawn in till that welcome message pops up?

"time it takes before god mode is off" So soon as you spawn in God mode is on, and turns off 20 seconds later when the welcome message appears?

 

_TimeL = 6; //Time between the welcome message to the end message

That mean the message stays up for 6 seconds??   can you make it so the player can click OK, or CLOSE, or Press "whatever key" to close it?

Yes seconds

_TimeL = 6; //Time between the welcome message to the end message

That is the time for the messages not the info board

Its the delay between these 

_Message = format["Change me %1 ",format["%1", name player]];//Welcome message after the menu pops up 

_Ending = format["Change me %1 ",format["%1", name player]];//end message after god mode is off 

[NateDaBeast]

Is it possible to have this not have god mode on when joining with the debug up ?

[StiflersM0M]

sure simply remove

if ( mess ) then { systemChat ( "God mode off" ); };
player_zombieCheck = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_zombieCheck.sqf";
player_fired = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_fired.sqf";
fnc_usec_damageHandler = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\fn_damageHandler.sqf";
thePlayer addEventHandler ["handleDamage", {true}];
thePlayer removeAllEventHandlers "handleDamage";
thePlayer allowDamage true;

//God mode Start
waitUntil { alive player }; //Not working right when your spawn, starting before?
waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_animalCheck"};
player_zombieCheck = {};
player_fired = {};
fnc_usec_damageHandler = {};
thePlayer removeAllEventHandlers "handleDamage";
thePlayer addEventHandler ["handleDamage", {false}];
thePlayer allowDamage false;

and it should be fine

Would there be any way to have the info board part of this script attached to a key bind, I already have intro credits but I have been looking for a way to implement some sort of "if (_dikCode == 0x43) then {" and have server rules/information displayed?

This looks excellent, just what I was looking for to update my players about changes to my server.  Can't wait to try it out.

Working fine for me on 1.0.5.1/125548.
