Custom debug monitor

Copy dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf from dayz_code.pbo\actions into your custom folder.

Change the path of dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf in your custom compiles to:

dayz_spaceInterrupt 	= compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf";

Create a new file in your custom folder called debug.sqf

Paste this in it

while {debugMonitor} do
{
 //Modify your debug starting here
	_pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> (typeof vehicle player) >> 'picture'));
        if (player == vehicle player) then
        {
            _pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon player) >> 'picture'));
        }
            else
        {
            _pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> (typeof vehicle player) >> 'picture'));
        };

        (round diag_fps),
        _pic];
//Don't modify below this line
	sleep 1;
};

Open custom\dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf

Replace this:

if (_dikCode == 210) then {
		_nill = execvm "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\playerstats.sqf";
};

with this:

if (_dikCode == 210) then {
	if (isNil 'debugMonitor') then 
	{
		debugMonitor = true;
		_nill = execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
	}
	else
	{
		debugMonitor = !debugMonitor;
		hintSilent '';
		_nill = execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
	};
};

Comment out this:

if (_dikCode in actionKeys "User20" and (diag_tickTime - dayz_lastCheckBit > 5)) then {
	dayz_lastCheckBit = diag_tickTime;
	_nill = execvm "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\playerstats.sqf";
};

like this:

/*
if (_dikCode in actionKeys "User20" and (diag_tickTime - dayz_lastCheckBit > 5)) then {
	dayz_lastCheckBit = diag_tickTime;
	_nill = execvm "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\playerstats.sqf";
};
*/

If you want the debug monitor to be auto-shown when player connects

add this to the end of your init.sqf in MPMissions:

if (isNil 'debugMonitor') then 
{
	debugMonitor = true;
	_nill = execvm "custom\debug.sqf";
};

Enjoy :)

the fps counter doesnt work properly and i got the restart timer from the first post but that doesnt work either, it just says server restarts in (blank) minutes.

please help

adg · March 4, 2014

Can you post your debug.sqf?

RisingDead · March 5, 2014

Yeah, modify debug.sqf any way you like. There are some server restart timer examples on previous pages.

adg i was able to add a restart timer but it has broken the picture for some reason. Whenever someone logs in it says "Picture not found".

Could you advise? my debug.sqf is as follows and the picture does not work with the restart timer addition. It works perfectly without it

while {debugMonitor} do
{
 //Modify your debug starting here
_pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> (typeof vehicle player) >> 'picture'));
        if (player == vehicle player) then
        {
            _pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'cfgWeapons' >> (currentWeapon player) >> 'picture'));
        }
            else
        {
            _pic = (gettext (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> (typeof vehicle player) >> 'picture'));

Sorry about this

Yes now my server. Have custom player HUD. :D

I ended up finding a server with this HUD and tried adding it to my test server with no luck.

Getting this error: ErrorMessage: File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Chernarus\addons\playerhud\dialog\hud.hpp, line 9: /RscTitles/WPHUD/controlsBackground.WPHUD_Vehicle: Undefined base class 'w_RscText'

I see if i can get it to work

It's always been an irritation to me how the debug menu portrays 'Days Survived' as a stat. A much more interesting fact would be "Hours survived", based on actual ingame time. Does anyknow know if this is even possible? And if so - how?

Probably possible, looking at how dayz_Survived is calculated it appears from the number of minutes, I assume, survived.

GitHub

       "//Work out survival time" \n
       "_totalMins = _survival select 0;" \n
       "_days = floor (_totalMins / 1440);" \n
       "_totalMins = (_totalMins - (_days * 1440));" \n
       "_hours = floor (_totalMins / 60);" \n
       "_mins =  (_totalMins - (_hours * 60));" \n
       "" \n
       "//player variables" \n
       "dayz_characterID =		_charID;" \n
       "dayz_hasFire = 			objNull;		//records players Fireplace object" \n
       "dayz_myCursorTarget = 	objNull;" \n
       "dayz_myPosition = 		getPosATL player;	//Last recorded position" \n
       "dayz_lastMeal =			(_lastAte * 60);" \n
       "dayz_lastDrink =		(_lastDrank * 60);" \n
       "dayz_zombiesLocal = 	0;			//Used to record how many local zombies being tracked" \n
       "dayz_Survived = _days;  //total alive dayz" \n

sure it would be better, but I think that's impossible with the data available in the database.

actually the "minutes" in that script are calculated in the HiveExt.dll from the creation date of the character to the current date,

so you only have access to an absolute date when your character is created and last login date, no real game time or anything sadly.

Yer, I get the rpt spam :(

I wish I new what specifically caused this!

Regarding the debug monitors that spam the .RPT file:

I found out the problem, when you use the command "parseText format", inside the square brackets [ ... ] is expected a String or array of strings.

When you pass variables that are integers or floats (but in Arma Engine only the format Numbers) you get an error because the numbers are not a String therefore they are not text.

MrGrimm · March 28, 2014

Are there any debug monitors available for EPOCH that look similar to Infistars admin version with the weapon / vehicle pic and one that shows player location days survived / location / etc etc

MrGrimm · March 28, 2014

Is there a fix for this ?

I am working on one right now, it will be more like a regular player monitor but will work with epoch and i just fixed the spamming part of the .RPT log file.

I can add all those extra variables like location on world or map direcation of the characer etc, but you need to know that will be longer and will cover the ear and the eye ingame the longer it gets (if that's a problem for you,)

what i want for you is to send me a pic of the Inifistar debug mon because I am not familiar with it.

I am basically modifying Torndeco debug monitor and I will give him the deserved credits.

MrGrimm · March 29, 2014

Here is the one i have but it spams the rpt...if i could stop it this one would be fine.

what does the rpt say?

MrGrimm · March 29, 2014

wrong text element "null"

DeanReid · March 29, 2014

If you want, here is my debug with toggle function "Insert is toggle"

You will need to edit the dayz_spaceInterrupt find

"if (_dikCode ==210)" code block

and change to

if (_dikCode == 210) then {
_nill = execvm "custom\code\playerstats.sqf";
};

and change the code block of "if (_dikCode in actionKeys "User20")"

to

if (_dikCode in actionKeys "User20" and (diag_tickTime - dayz_lastCheckBit > 5)) then {
            dayz_lastCheckBit = diag_tickTime;
            _nill = execvm "custom\code\playerstats.sqf";
};

and then add

playerstats = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\code\playerstats.sqf";

to your init file, unless someone has mentioned all this already, change the location of your file though :)

also remember and remove our PID's from the admin debug section and change with yours

the monitor I use is the Dual admin debug made by nomadichayward

Kronky · March 29, 2014

wrong text element "null"

i bet that if you look at your debug monitor .SQF you will see some variables that are using player getVariable["humanity",0]; and those need to be transformed into strings before they are referenced to their corresponding tag.

MrGrimm · March 29, 2014

Would be awesome if I knew how to do that :)
