If you have any questions pm me.

 

and BTW you ( DONT HAVE TO ADD ANYTHING INTO YOUR MISSION.SQM )

 

Works perfect without doing this.

 

 

and BTW: im 16 and im Swiss 

 

EDIT:

If you do not add the 

pbo file name to your mission.sqm it could make some problems ;)

[unerground2]

 

Not adding it in mission.sqm should make a "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted." error.

 

No it doesnt for me

 

but you can do that

soo how can all the players see the new custom vehicles ??  I can understand that you will see them but don't all players have to do the same thing   on there side to see the custom vehicle ???

Yes, he also mentioned that in the actual video...

Dude, you need to clarify in the post with TEXT that ALL PLAYERS will need download ADDITIONAL files to see the vehicles, you tell no need add anything to the mission file, but you DONT tell that they need download pbo's and add to ther root arma folder... yes you mention this like 0.2 seconds in the middle ur video but you kinda missleading people to watch ur video...

You can only add custom vehicles and have them work if everyone has also downloaded the vehicles and enabled them. The reason you add the mod to your mission.sqm is to make sure everyone connecting to your server has the mods, otherwise this will cause many issues not to mention any custom vehicle that players do not have the mod for will be invisible.

Hey Epoch community.

 

i run a server on my PC, only for myself.  Learning and testing purposes.

 

I've been trying to figure out how to add vehicles to my server.

I would love to see the sigma vehicle pack in action.

 

After following these steps, how do i go about testing to see if adding the vehicle actually worked.

The only way i can think of is through my admin menu.  I open up the list while it populates all the vehicles on my server,

but for some reason the ones i add do not show up on the list.

 

Im sure its something stupid im missing, but im still kinda new to the scripting world.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciate!

 

thx

Scratch that i figured it out.  was a stupid mistake, done by me.

Now that I have looked up your tutorial:

This will mess up your dayz_epoch folder.

When you will try to join another server (EPOCH!) it will say: you've got files not signed by the server.

Sorry to say that, but that's not good. Better solution:

Make a new @YOURMODPACK folder where @Dayz_epoch is.

In that @folder you put your addons.

You do all the other things normally, BUT you launch your game with a launch parameter: -mod=@YOURMODPACK. Once you want to join a normal server, just take that launch parameter out. 

i created a @example folder in the tutorial if you forgot about that ;)

Got a couple of questions:

 

1) If a new player joins the server and doesn't have the mod pack installed client side, will he/she be able to get on?

2) Will the new vehicles spawn randomly on the map? Or will I have to add them?

3) Can I add them to the traders?

 

Cheers

1) if you dont add the pbo/ addon name to your mission.sqm  yes

2) you have to add them

3) Yes

So, basically, when I add these without adding them to mission.sqm I can join the server, see the cars (if I have the mod) and drive them.

Downside being people that do not have the mod can't see them?

do I need to add something to the launchparameter?

[Flosstradamus]

do I need to add something to the launchparameter?

You do but so do your players. Which is why this is a pain in the ass to have on a server.
