private server: spawning with GPS, why?

[ekroemer]

Hi there,

 

I've just set up a local Epoch server for my own entertainment, only, standard Epoch plus

• WAI
• DZAI
• changes to traders and dynamic_vehicles.sqf
• AxeCop's repair station

What I find weird, is that after my character dies, he's starting with the usual minimal gear (excluding a map) but with a GPS. More weird: this happens only after a respawn, not for the first spawn ever (after deleting the character from the database).

 

Is this Epoch standard behaviour? Where would this be defined? Do I have to define a custom gear _without_ GPS?

 

Thanks in advance!

Are you using any antihack files like infistar as some options in that give you a gps when enabled

No, not there, but you've given the answer to another riddle I had stumbled upon: on one of our servers we changed the startgear to one without a map and ever since I had the impression that sometimes a GPS got add to my inventory.

There we use AH and, looking into AH.sqf, indeed for any map related function the script adds a GPS whenever the admin carries neither map nor GPS. Thanks for the hint.
