Anyone know if there is a tutorial or directions for using the Epoch Traders Admin Tool on the server Cpanel? It's not that intuitive (or I'm not that smart) and I'd like to do a couple of things like: Add new helis and some other stuff to the traders Add stock to existing items in the trader menu Some players have been getting the message, "insufficient stock" when trying to purchase items that were previously available to be purchased. Anyone know about this stuff? Thanks! Vladick

@Steven Well, your loadout worked great. I plopped it in and it was good to go. I guess it was either the backpack or the makarovSD that was causing the problems. My next attempt will be to add self-bloodbagging. Can it be as easy as just changing "false" to "true" in the following code or is there more to it? //DZE_SelfTransfuse Allows Players to Self-Bloodbag DZE_SelfTransfuse = false; //DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [blood amount, infection chance, cool-down DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300]; Thanks again!

Thanks for looking at it BeanZ and Steven. Steven, I will try your loadout tonight and post the results. Thanks! Vladick

This is what I tried to do just to test it out: //Customize fresh spawn loadout DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD","8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD","8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD"]; DefaultWeapons = ["ItemMap","MakarovSD"]; DefaultBackpack = "DZ_TerminalPack_EP1"; DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; Do you think it was the backpack that messed it up. I don't even know what backpack that is or if it's even in Epoch. Thanks! Vladick

@BeanZ Thanks very much for the PBO Manager tip, that did the trick. I was able to unpack, repack and upload and everything seemed in working order. I then went ahead and changed the watermark and the loading screen and that worked too. Awesome! But then I got greedy and tried to change the default loadout (following your directions of course) and after repacking and uploading the mission file and starting the game it hung on authentication for a while and then I got some weird error that said "You have to be near a rock to mine ore" and it kicked me to the game lobby. I didn't have a chance to try it again because I was pissing off the players already by restarting the server so many times. I will try it again tonight. Anybody have that happen to them? Thanks! Vladick

@BeanZ Awesome! I have been using cpbo but I will try this instead and see how it goes. Thanks! Vladick

@BeanZ Thank you sir for the step-by-step directions for how to do this. They are exactly how I tried to do it. The problem that I am having however is that even if I don't edit the pbo file (and only unpack and repack) and then upload it, it does not work as expected. Can you tell me what program you are using to unpack and pack the pbo files? Thanks! Vladick

This might be a dumb question, but i'm wondering if I am able/allowed to edit the mission and server pbo files to change/add functionality to my server. I ask because I have tried to edit the mission pbo and reupload the file only to have the server either not start up or to start up with some very weird functionality. Here's what I tried to change: 1. Change the water mark in the bottom left of the screen to a custom water mark 2. Change the default loading screen to a custom loading screen 3. Change the player default loadout So I made these simple changes (following directions on this forum) and reuploaded the mission pbo. The game dumped me into the lobby with an error message. Okay, so maybe I tried to do too much at once... So I removed the loadout edit and tried again. I got into the game but there were no vehicles, my character was invisible and no functions worked. Alright, something is not right here. So I investigated the pbo by unpacking it, repacking it and uploading it. Again, lots of weird problems and errors. So maybe it's the way I'm packing the pbo? And it turns out that low and behold, one of the files (attributes.init, I think) is being deleted when I unpack and the file is 30 or so kb smaller. So I try to unpack it a different way and YAY! all the files are there. And when I repack it the file size is still the same. Awesome! But when I upload it (without touching a single file) everything seems to be okay, except that now all of the player icons (food, drink, temp, ect.) are missing. Other problems may be there as well, I just don't know. Does anyone know what may be happening here? I am using the new Cpanel to download the pbo and am using cpbo to unpack and pack. Thanks for any help you can provide! Vladick

Hi there, I submitted a support ticket but have not heard anything. Here is the issue I'm having... I originally set myself up as the Super Admin for my account using my UID in the AntiHack. It worked for about a day and I was able to access the Admin screen using f2 until I tried to set up another admin account in the Normal UID. I put the players UID in the Normal UID field, restarted the server and neither one of us could access the Antihack screen using f2. I then removed the other player's UID from the Normal UID field and restarted, but still could not access the Antihack. I then tried it in different combinations about 10 times, restarting the server each time and still I cannot access the Antihack using f2. Please help me resolve this issue as I need to be able to add other players as Admins on the server. Thanks, Vladick
