Can I disable refilling off jerry cans?

[sidereal6]

Epoch takes place many years after the initial DayZ infection happened, right? That's what the wiki says.

 

It seems odd to me that refueling is so easy. Petrol should be very, very scarce. There shouldn't be any fuel left in those big tanks - or at the very least, there should be a small random chance of finding fuel in them.

 

My question is, could I configure a server this way? I know that I can turn off the auto-refueling. Could I also turn off refilling jerry cans at tanks?

 

I think that would make the game a lot more fun. Resource dynamics usually do improve a game.

 

Scarcity makes the game more fun. Looting is more fun than spawning with full gear. Having to actually ration your fuel, or search for it, would be more fun than hovering over a gas station in your chinook and auto refueling.

Not sure how to disable completely but you could probably limit the number of available fuel sources by editing variables.sqf:

dayz_fuelpumparray = ["FuelPump_DZ","Land_A_FuelStation_Feed","Land_Ind_FuelStation_Feed_EP1","Land_FuelStation_Feed_PMC","FuelStation","Land_ibr_FuelStation_Feed","Land_fuelstation_army","Land_fuelstation","land_fuelstation_w","Land_benzina_schnell"];
DZE_fueltruckarray = ["KamazRefuel_DZ","UralRefuel_TK_EP1_DZ","MtvrRefuel_DES_EP1_DZ","V3S_Refuel_TK_GUE_EP1_DZ","MtvrRefuel_DZ","KamazRefuel_DZE","UralRefuel_TK_EP1_DZE","MtvrRefuel_DES_EP1_DZE","V3S_Refuel_TK_GUE_EP1_DZE","MtvrRefuel_DZE"];
 
// Standard Fuel sources
dayz_fuelsources = ["Land_Ind_TankSmall","Land_fuel_tank_big","Land_fuel_tank_stairs","Land_fuel_tank_stairs_ep1","Land_wagon_tanker","Land_fuelstation","Land_fuelstation_army","land_fuelstation_w","Land_benzina_schnell"];

I see.

 

And, this is probably a stupid question but after you edit an sqf file you have to compile it or something?

 

I had read some stuff about editing loot tables and it sounded like that was what you had to do.
