[Mod Install Guide] Self Blood Bag, Custom Load Out, Slow Zombies

[merlin777 4]

Expectations: Be Prepared to be pissed off and frustrated. It happens! Remember you are just starting out.

 

I have been to the depths of the Arma Code and Back. With a mixture of PHP and it's own jargo language, maybe a little java style thrown in somewhere, I would suggest if you are a beginner not to delve into the code yourself.

 

For those that want help with Learning the Mods, I can guide you with what you have not been able to do yet. Zupa is another guy who will back you up and help you with the single currency w/w/o online banking. 

 

However Here are some Basic Things you can Do yourself without paying for mods. Requires virtually no coding.

 

I assume you have the tools you need to extract PBO's and have a basic understanding of the SS control panel

 

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS ARE IN THE EPOCHCONFIG.SQF

 

Self BloodBag: Yes! There are two ways of doing so, 1 is paid support which adds the Scroll Action menu to select self bloodbag. However, if you are ok with right clicking on a Blood Bag and want to save $$$ for a more advanced Mod SS can install for you than Follow this:(it's always good to know where to put your money into)

 

---In your Mission.pbo, you will find a Folder Called Config:In the folder you will see epochconfig.sqf, (always open with a program called Notepad++ just because it is so organized. Learn to love it) DOWNLOAD IT HERE

Scroll on down till you see this: 

//DZE_SelfTransfuse Allows Players to Self-Bloodbag

DZE_SelfTransfuse = true; <----SET to true if you want self bloodbag! Right..simple. 

 

//DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [blood amount, infection chance, cool-down

DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300];

 

No Weight Limit: //R3F Weight

DZE_R3F_WEIGHT = false; <----Set to False to have no weight limit

 

 

Custom Loadout and Where to put what with what ID's (Classnames):

Below is what it looks like in your epochconfig.sqf

//Customize fresh spawn loadout

DefaultMagazines = [];  

DefaultWeapons = [];  

DefaultBackpack = "";  

DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; 

 

DefaultMagazines is for any item you place in your primary(food, ammo, parts, money) or secondary(bandages, clips, m203 rounds) inventory.

DefaultWeapons is for any guns/rifles or kit(hatchet, map, Bbnoculars, NVGs) items.

DefaultBackpack is as it would sound, the pack you start out with.

DefaultBackpackWeapon =""; I would not alter just because it has it's issues when placing certain items

Here is a Good list of Items Id's (Class Names you can use)  (http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=757116)

 

1 Step Construction is also in the Epoch Config

No Plot Pole Requirement

GodMode Bases

Halo Spawn

Tame Dogs

All the above is fully available in the epoch config file. Take a look around and adjust your settings to your liking. Remember after all is done, save often, and pack your pbo and upload. If you need a step by step tutorial on how to do this. I can show you. Contact me on here.

 

Slow Zombies:  This is one of the easiest mods to install (I have included the slowzombie file you will need)

 

Download the File and Unzip and create a folder in the root of your mission pbo. Root is referred to the main directory. If you need assistance contact me.

Create a Folder called: mods (you will be using this a lot of times)

Place in that new created folder my attachment "slow_zombies" (unzipped of course) that you downloaded

Back out and go to the Config Folder and open up the modconfig.sqf 

//Delete all text you will see by Survival Servers// (this keeps things clean and organized)

 

on the first line place it like so:

//SlowZeds

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "mods\slow_zombies\init.sqf";

 

// <--Indicates a break and lets you type in a memo or sentence for organizing and finding purposes.

 

Pack up your PBO and Upload. Restart your Server. Voila! Slow Zeds. Literally takes you 2 minutes

 

make sure when you Unzip the attachment you dont place the entire folder into the mods folder. make sure you take the unzipped folder only. so like this: When you double click on "slow_zombies (after unzip) you will see another folder inside called "slow_zombies" that is the one you want.

 

ENJOY!

If you would like some other basic help

Let me know, and if I made some mistakes or was unclear Please point it out and I will fix it.

Thanks

Spend that extra $60 you were gonna spend on the above mods onto something more complicated like "paint vehicles", "Master Key mods" Survival Servers has a nice list of mods that even I rather not mess with! Let them handle the harder things

 

I also can help with currency questions. I will try to respond within the hour or two unless I am at work.

Thanks for the guides. I have cleaned it up a little bit.

 

For future reference, please create a separate thread and prefix the title with [Mod Install Guide] Mod Name so that it's easier for server owners to find.

SERVICE POINT 2 MINUTE INSTALL MOD HERE

 

This mod has all the stuff you need for a service point/station to work on your server with minimal virtually no coding experience.

 

Step 1: Download Attachment (mine included has free service stations)

Step 2: Unzip and put the "service_point" Folder into your custom folder in your mission root. (if you do not have a custom folder right click and make one, name it custom)

Step 3: open your init.sqf and look for this area:

 

if (!isDedicated) then {

//Conduct map operations

0 fadeSound 0;

waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};

dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");

execVM "custom\service_point\service_point.sqf";    <----------Thats where you put the line as shown(without red lol)

//Run the player monitor

 

Repack pbo, upload and restart!

Enjoy!

Notes: if you want to change the prices please open the folder, go to servicepoint.sqf and look for each setting refuel, rearm and repair it will look like so:

// refuel settings

_refuel_enable = true; // enable or disable the refuel option

_refuel_costs = [

["Air",["free"]], // Free

["Tank",["free"]], // Free

["AllVehicles",["free"]] // Free

 

Change those to any denomination in each section you want. I leave it free as I only have PVE servers and it brings people into them trust me people like it better and more fun. Nobody likes going to servers and starting over all the time because of a server that has shutdown recently. Starting over sucks. So I gave it an ease of play on my servers and people love it.
