Custom Loadout

[dakadoo 0]

So I have been trying to create a custom loadout for donators. I have tried a scripting way, but that breaks the epochconfig fresh spawn loadout. I have tried to do it through the database, but just get errors when trying to save it. Anyone found a good way to create them, please help me.

For epoch the only way to do it is via a script.

 

You need to remove the default loadout from the config and add it to the script loadouts.

So I have been getting a lot of help from here with setting up my server, so I figured I would start making Tutorials on what I have learned.

 

 

 

As follows are the instructions to change the starting gear from the default "bandage/painkiller/flashlight" to what ever you want, and how to set up custom gear for different users based on their UIDs. This is not completely my work, some came from Axeman and AsianKid.

Setting Up the Default Load-out (no custom loadouts)

 

 

 

To start, this is tested on 1.0.2.4-5, and uses variables that Epoch Devs added to the Server Code.

DefaultMagazines = [];

DefaultWeapons = [];

DefaultBackpack = "";

 

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.

 

 

 

You will also see DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; in my loadout script, I assume it adds items to your back pack, but I don't know its limitations, if I can use guns and ammo.

 

 

 

Inserting it into your code is easy. Open the init.sqf in your mission folder or mission.pbo.

 

 

 

At about line 20 of a stock Epoch init.sqf file you will find this:

// DayZ Epoch config

spawnShoremode = 1; // Default = 1 (on shore)

spawnArea= 1500; // Default = 1500

MaxHeliCrashes= 5; // Default = 5

MaxVehicleLimit = 300; // Default = 50

MaxDynamicDebris = 500; // Default = 100

dayz_MapArea = 14000; // Default = 10000

dayz_maxLocalZombies = 30; // Default = 30

 

 

Below this, add the following:

//Default Loadout

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked"];

DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","ItemFlashlight","ItemHatchet"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

 

 

Here I have configured the default load-out to be a G17 and 2 clips, 2 bandages, one Morphine, Painkillers, Clean Water, Cooked Steak, a Flashlight and Hatchet. You can change the variables your self to what would be best for your server, including removing everything so players don't even get the stock dayz load-out.

 

 

 

Custom Load-Outs (includes default load-out)

 

 

 

But, you want even more controls, like load-outs for donators or admins. Thats easy, instead of the above we are going to put all the settings in a loadout.sqf and save that to a "Scripts" folder in our mission folder or mission.pbo.

 

 

 

First, create a new folder in the Mission folder or PBO named Scripts.

 

Then Create a new text document in that folder called "loadout.sqf", is will warn you that you are changing the file type, thats ok.

 

 

 

Copy this code into your new lodout.sqf:

//Default Loadout

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked"];

DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","ItemFlashlight","ItemHatchet"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Patrol_Pack_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

 

//Admin Loadout

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["12345678","98765432"]) then { //Admins: Nobody, Somebody

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemBloodbag","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked","20Rnd_B_AA12_74Slug","20Rnd_B_AA12_Pellets","20Rnd_B_AA12_Pellets","ItemGoldBar10oz"];

DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","AA12_PMC","Binocular_Vector","NVGoggles","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemGPS","ItemWatch","ItemKnife","Itemtoolbox","ItemCrowbar","Itemetool","ItemHatchet"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_LargeGunBag_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

};

 

//Moderator Loadout

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["14725836"]) then { //Moderators: ThatOtherGuy

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","17Rnd_9x19_glock17","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemBloodbag","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked","8Rnd_B_Saiga12_Pellets","8Rnd_B_Saiga12_Pellets","8Rnd_B_Saiga12_74Slug","ItemGoldBar10oz"];

DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","Saiga12K","Binocular_Vector","NVGoggles","ItemMap","Itemtoolbox"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_Backpack_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

};

 

//Pro-Donator Loadout

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["96385274"]) then { //Pro-Donators: MoneyBags

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemBloodbag","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","ItemWaterbottleBoiled","FoodSteakCooked","8Rnd_B_Beneli_Pellets","8Rnd_B_Beneli_Pellets","8Rnd_B_Beneli_74Slug","ItemGoldBar10oz"];

DefaultWeapons = ["M9SD","Remington870_lamp","Binocular","ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemFlashlightRed","ItemKnife","ItemMatchbox","ItemHatchet"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_GunBag_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

};

 

//Donator Loadout

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["456789123"]) then { //Donators: Nobody

DefaultMagazines = ["ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","ItemMorphine","ItemPainkiller","ItemGoldBar","15Rnd_W1866_Slug","15Rnd_W1866_Slug"];

DefaultWeapons = ["glock17_EP1","Winchester1866","ItemMap","ItemFlashlightRed","ItemHatchet"];

DefaultBackpack = "DZ_ALICE_Pack_EP1";

DefaultBackpackWeapon = "";

};

 

 

Hit save then start looking it over. Here we set the default loadout, then we check to see if the player is anyone we know from admins to donators, and set their loadout outs accordingly.

 

 

 

You will need the Players UID you can ask them for it, or if they have been on your server and you have database access then you can find it under "player_data".

 

 

 

In the code put their UID in the same place you see the seven or eight number groupings surrounded by parenthesis " and seperated by commas , if you are setting more than one user for that group. I also write their names at the end of the line in the order that they are placed so I can go back and remember them later.

 

 

 

You can edit the different load-outs for each User Group and add more by copying one group and changing the UIDs.

 

 

 

Safe the file and Open your init.sqf in your mission folder or mission.pbo. Fine the following lines:

if (!isDedicated) then {

//Conduct map operations

0 fadeSound 0;

waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};

dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");

 

//Run the player monitor

_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];

_playerMonitor = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";

_void = [] execVM "R3F_Realism\R3F_Realism_Init.sqf";

 

//Lights

//[0,0,true,true,true,58,280,600,[0.698, 0.556, 0.419],"Generator_DZ",0.1] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lights_init.sqf";

};

 

Above "//Run the player monitor" add the following:

//Custom Loadouts

[] ExecVM "Scripts\loadout.sqf";

 

 

Now we have called the load-out script, and the world is a better place. Save your work, upload your files, and start your server to test out the scripts. Remember, you have to re-spawn for it to work.
