Donator Spawn loadout without Database triggers

MassAsster · July 29, 2013

I've been toying around with how not to do database driven donator spawn loot, I've come up with this system that I am currently testing.

Inside the server PBO, inside the compile folder locate server_playerLogin.sqf

AFTER line

if (count _this > 2) then {
	dayz_players = dayz_players - [_this select 2];
};

Insert your custom user spawn setups.

if (_playerID == "3042438") then {
//MassAsster
_inventory =	[["ItemMap","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass","revolver_gold_EP1","AKS_GOLD"], ["ItemBandage","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","30Rnd_762x39_AK47","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemEpinephrine","ItemAntibiotic","ItemMorphine","ItemWaterbottle","FoodCanBakedBeans"]];
_backpack = 	["DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]]; };

if (_playerID == "3042694") then {
//Adam
_inventory =	[["ItemMap","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass","revolver_gold_EP1","AKS_GOLD"], ["ItemBandage","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","30Rnd_762x39_AK47","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemEpinephrine","ItemAntibiotic","ItemMorphine","ItemWaterbottle","FoodCanBakedBeans"]];
_backpack = 	["DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]]; };

if (_playerID == "3042630") then {
//jody
_inventory =	[["ItemMap","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass","revolver_gold_EP1","AKS_GOLD"], ["ItemBandage","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","30Rnd_762x39_AK47","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemEpinephrine","ItemAntibiotic","ItemMorphine","ItemWaterbottle","FoodCanBakedBeans"]];
_backpack = 	["DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]]; };

if (_playerID == "138731014") then {
//Greg
_inventory =	[["ItemMap","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass","revolver_gold_EP1","AKS_GOLD"], ["ItemBandage","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","30Rnd_762x39_AK47","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemEpinephrine","ItemAntibiotic","ItemMorphine","ItemWaterbottle","FoodCanBakedBeans"]];
_backpack = 	["DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]]; };

Comment out any spawn setups that may exist under these lines.

//Variables
//_inventory =	[[], []];
//_backpack = 	["DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]];
//_items = 		[];
//_magazines = 	[];
//_weapons = 		[];
//_medicalStats =	[];

Locate your Init inside your mission.pbo

Locate (if they are inside) or insert (if they are not)

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemMorphine"];
DefaultWeapons = ["ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass"];
DefaultBackpack = "DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1";
DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

Notice I do not give out a weapon, if i give a pistol to my default setup, than it will cause a bug with my donators setup, donators will get two pistols overlaying each other... To resolve this you can simply not assign a pistol to the default like I have done, or you can assign a pistol to the default and not assign one to the donator, simply give the donator more ammo. Either way you want to work it.

Have fun!

You know, I've always just assigned a backpack type and never put anything into it.. I'll have to check that one out

hawtrawkr · August 1, 2013

Ive placed this code into my server_playerLogin.sqf, but keep getting the default loadout that is listed in the mission init.sqf when I load in after dying.

Ive checked my player ID and made sure I commented out the mentioned parts. Is there anything else I should be looking for?

this is on HFB server if that matters at all.

Cash · August 1, 2013

I had that trouble in the beginning but I had forgotten to comment out

//Variables //_inventory = []; //_backpack =  []; //_items =   []; //_magazines =  []; //_weapons =   []; //_medicalStats = [];

hawtrawkr · August 1, 2013

I have everything commented out except for _survival, _isInfected, and _Model. Sure Im just missing something somewhere along the way though still relatively new to all this.

check it against yours.

The only differences was the syntax on some lines which had been commented out on both of our files and that I was running the version with removed spawn as zombie code. I removed it and made my file identical to yours and still no joy on the backpack. It spawns with the default but the inventory works great.

MassAsster · August 1, 2013

yeah, still working on the backpack thing, anyone out there have an example of the proper pack set up?

I've attempted formatting like ["DZ_Backpack_EP1",[["G36A_camo"],[1]],[["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller"],[4,3,3]]]

my next guess is to remove the formatting from the init for the backpack, but this would most likely cause your default loadout to not have one at all...

hawtrawkr · August 2, 2013

got it working. Turned out I was in need of a lesson on how not to backup dayz_server.pbo files. I was downloading the file to play with, but didn't realize that if I simply changed the name of the original file to origdayz_server.pbo while leaving it in the default location it would still be read by the server. I had to delete my original .pbo then the modified one worked for me.

thanks for the help and for sharing this with us MassAsster. it is much appreciated. I was able to realize what was going on when you shared your .pbo with me and I tried using it and got the same results as before. needless to say today was quite the learning experience for me.

Cash · August 2, 2013

You got the backpacks to spawn?

ToejaM · August 3, 2013

Does this only effect new spawns or does this give the loadout to the player everytime they relog?

Cash · August 4, 2013

Every time.

MassAsster · August 4, 2013

effects new spawns (after death) not every log into the server

I have not messed with the backpacks yet, been working on a stats setup http://dayzepoch.com/forum/index.php?/topic/903-webbased-detailed-player-stats/

BetterDeadThanZed · August 16, 2013

I can't get this to work. Here's the sections that needed to be modified:

if (_playerID == "4358144") then {

//BetterDeadThanZed

_inventory = [["ItemMachete","ItemEtool","ItemMap"],["ItemBandage","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","FoodCanBakedBeans","ItemWaterbottle","ItemAntibiotic"]];

_backpack = ["DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1",[[],[]],[[],[]]]; };

// Statistics

//_inventory = [];

//_backpack = [];

//_items = [];

//_magazines = [];

//_weapons = [];

//_medicalStats = [];

_survival = [0,0,0];

_tent = [];

_state = [];

_direction = 0;

_model = "";

_newUnit = objNull;

_botActive = false;

I end up with the default loadout I defined in my init.sqf file, not the one listed above.

MassAsster · August 17, 2013

After death you ended up with the default load out?

You sure you replaced your server pbo ?

also your init will overwrite any changes you make into this system, IE if you define a starting pistol in both locations, your init will win. (technically you will have two pistols overlaying each other and you will have to drop the first pistol before having access to the 2nd one, but who's being specific)

Yes, after death I had the loadout that was defined in init instead of server_playerLogin.sqf.

In my init file, I have this:

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","FoodCanBakedBeans","ItemWaterbottle","ItemAntibiotic"];

DefaultWeapons = ["ItemMachete","ItemEtool"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

In my server_playerlogin.sqf I have what I posted above.

MassAsster · August 18, 2013

for one, you don't need to repeat your load out from the default into the donator section, your going to get what ever is in the default anyway.

the only difference I note is your receiving a ItemMap when you spawn?

Do this -

load your char up with the items you want to have - check the database for correct formatting on the item layout . the only thing i can think of at the moment is there is an error in the syntax of your item/weapon loadout

The custom loadout I put in the server_playerlogin.sqf was for testing purposes only. If I spawned with the gear I'm used to spawning with, plus a map, I know the custom loadout is working. No sense in coming up with a fancy custom loadout if it doesn't work, right? :)

The syntax for the custom loadout in server_playerlogin.sqf is copied directly from the init.sqf. Since the starting loadout defined in init.sqf works, I know the syntax is correct in the server_playerlogin.sqf.

MassAsster · August 18, 2013

can you post both your init and login sqf -

MassAsster · August 20, 2013

The best guess I have at the moment is the default layout may be over riding the donator load out on the tool belt items, try placing your tool belt items into the donator section exactly as they are in your default, then add your map. I've never attempted to just add a single item before but my experience with the tool belt items (pistol particularly) is that the default load will overwrite.

Example

Default - Slot1: GPS slot2: Tool box slot3: crowbar

Custom- Slot1: Map

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Final: Gps toolbox crowbar

Default - Slot1: GPS slot2: Tool box slot3: crowbar

Custom- Slot1: GPS slot2: Tool box slot3: crowbar slot4: map

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Final: Gps toolbox crowbar map

BetterDeadThanZed · August 20, 2013

When I first tested this, I used the example you provided just to see if it would work:

_inventory = [["ItemMap","ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","ItemCompass","revolver_gold_EP1","AKS_GOLD"], ["ItemBandage","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","6Rnd_45ACP","30Rnd_762x39_AK47","ItemBloodbag","ItemPainkiller","ItemEpinephrine","ItemAntibiotic","ItemMorphine","ItemWaterbottle","FoodCanBakedBeans"]];

but I spawned with the default loadout.

MassAsster · August 20, 2013

there has to be something your missing... something simple..

Confirm your GUID

Confirm total replacement of your server pbo

confirm total replacement of your mission pbo

inside your database - find your latest char file, set alive to 0 - creating a brand new char on next load

insertcoins · August 30, 2013

Hi,

I've tried this and it works almost like a charm. Only thing is that players, when they start a new char, spawn in the debug zone. When they log out to the lobby and log back in again, they spawn without a hitch and with the spawn gear.

Any idea why?

stetson · August 30, 2013

i've got the default loadout set to the assualt pack, and my donators get an alice pack, but the alice spawns on the ground and the assault on their backs?
