Comunity Epoch Custom Mod Pack

[LoadingSA]

Objective

 

I want to work with the epoch community to build a mod pack we can add to our servers if we chose. Something central and universal, this way all of the server owners and admins can work on building a fun and balanced mod pack for all of the epoch community. I'm thinking we should focus on new custom weapons, Wheeled vehicles, helicopter and aircraft that fit a civilian or semi civilian style. I have some idea of what mods I think will fit epoch, adding some new flavor to the mod without adding anything insane to the gameplay. I will list some of my ideas broken down into categories.

 

Permissions

 

I also want to make sure each mod author is ok with us using their hard work in this way. We want to make sure to ask for their consent when using their work.

 

 

Wheeled Vehicles 

 

 

German Armed Forces Pack

 

This mod adds a lot of high quality German vehicles to the game, flat beds, cars and trucks.

 

KAMAS Rekins

 

A simple yet fun pack of reskins for the KAMAS utility trucks.

 

Polish Police and Army Vehicles

 

Adds a number of new basic wheeled vehicles.

 

UAZ 451 Pack

 

I remember these from DayZero, this pack adds a lot of new UAZ's to the game.

 

Helicopters

 

AAC Gazelle 

 

A fast transport chopper that comes in many different skins and flavors.

 

Westland Scout

 

Being a big fan of Westland choppers I can't resist adding this badass chopper to the list.

 

MH-60 SAR Coast Gaurd Chopper 

 

the ideal chopper for saving your squad from bad times at sea.

 

Mi Mi 6A Transport chopper

 

One of the worlds biggest choppers, you can literally drive a truck in the back of these things.

 

The Sikorsky R-4

 

One of the oldest helicopters out there a nice addition to the game.

 

News Choppers USEC Bell 206

 

Traffic reporting for your epoch server

 

 

Weapons

 

 

TBA looking around at what might not be super OP or crazy. I'm thinking the RH (robert hammer) packs might be good if we don't use all of them.

I would love some input from you guys and maybe some help building a mod pack, it's something I have never done before I think if we work together we could build something really nice.

[insertcoins]

Im only interested if I can get a pink KAMAZ.

I have someone that can make that happen if that's not already in the pack. In fact EVERYTHING will HAVE to come in a bright pink version.

Something like this?

Yeah, I saw your post, it's a cool idea, but what I want to do is work with the community so we all have a go to pack to download that anyone can find and use. I would love your help with how exactly a mod pack is built to work with epoch or at all for that matter.

Right now I'm trying to just get an idea of how all this works so I picked the bell helicopters addon listed in the first post. I place the bisign and the PBO in the "addons" folder of Dayz_epoch and the key file in the keys folder of the server. I also added "pobname"; to my mission.sqm.

 

On my client I made a folder and called it @fob with a folder inside that called "addons" and placed the same key in the key folder of my client. I then added "mod=@fob to dayz commander. 

 

When I connect yo my test server I am getting this;

 

[LoadingSA]

Make a folder called Addons in @fob and put the PBOs in that folder..

 

I did that for the client but not for the server. the server has the files in the addons forlder in dayz_epoch

 

[LoadingSA]

Yes Here is my cleint side;

 

 

And my Server;

 

 

Mission SQM;

 

[LoadingSA]

This is the new server side structure (running OA);

 

 

Still getting the same error.

[LoadingSA]

Once I get one mod working the rest should be fairly simple but so far this is slightly hard.

[LoadingSA]

Dayz commander is launching with the following;

-mod=@fob -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=4 -maxMem=4096 -maxVram=8192 -noBenchmark -noLogs -noPause -noSplash -world=empty

The server is using;

@echo off
"c:\games\arma2\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=c:\games\arma\A2BECFG\dayzservercfg\server_butts.cfg" "-cfg=c:\games\arma\A2BECFG\dayzcfg\basic.cfg" "-BEpath=C:\games\arma\A2BECFG\BattlEye" "-profiles=c:\games\arma\A2BECFG\profiles" -name=chernarus "-mod=@fob;@panthera;@DayZ_Epoch;@hive;" "-cpuCount=2" "-exThreads=1" "-noSound" "-maxmem 1536" "-nosplash" "-showScriptErrors"

This is a fresh RPT from just after a restart and having me connect to it;

No errors at all just the same error;

 

[unerground2]

So the basic checks

 

1. Pbo. and bisign on your SERVER?

2. Serverkey On your Server?

3. Listed in mission.sqm ( not needed also works without , but then ppl without the mod can join too ) ?

4. pbo and bisign on your Client? 

5. Key on your client ?

 

And 

Try put your modfiles in your @DayZ epoch Folder in your Server. 

so you dont need to add @fob to your server.

-mod=@fob;@panthera;@DayZ_Epoch;@hive;

to

-mod=@panthera;@DayZ_Epoch;@hive;

 

Where is the serverkey in the server?

 

In the  SERVER -> @fob -> keys?

or in the Server -> keys?

 

Server -> keys  ( Recommended )

[Deathcall]

If you are going to add new things to the mod... please put this and this in.

I allready have the USS Nimitz on my Server ;)

How would I make a server key for something and how would I spawn them with something like the infinstar antihack?

 

Like for example, the sigma pack?

[LoadingSA]

Very strange, it will let me join ANY random server with my mods installed but when I try and connect to my test server I get the:

 

Blah blah blah not accepted by keys on the server error.

 

I have added the keys to the keys folder.

[boyd]

just set Verify signature to 0 in the config file and you won't have anymore of those problems :P

Could be idk

[LoadingSA]

Could be idk

it's like the server isn't reading the keys files or something when I add new ones.

 

My admins are awful, I went and cheked our config and they had set Verify signature to 3....

[LoadingSA]

Well I'm starting work on a mod pack now that I have unfucked my testing server.
