Zombies don't attack players- Overwatch

DangerRuss

OpenDayZ Rockstar!
Using the latest server files with Overwatch and for whatever reason zombies don't attack players. They will aggro on the player, but when they get close they basically hop around near you and never attack. I've been told the military zombies do attack but not the civilians, however I can't confirm this.
Any ideas?
 
I fixed it with using the default overwatch server pack but Im still getting this crazy error that has been plaguing me since I moved servers... players, especially after a restart, attempt to join in and receive "player already dead. please rejoin" and are put back in lobby.
 
Ok soooo I moved off the of the old overwatch schema because it ran like crap and I was still having the same issues with the weird player died bug.

So now that Im back on pwnzors private pack the zombies are once against useless.
You mentioned something about sides but where do I even check for that?
 
search the files for spawning zombies .. createagent is the code. But if you never changed those files the zombies themselves are not going to be on wrong side, maybe the players are.
Put this code into the bottom of your init.sqf

if (!isserver) then
{
[] spawn {
while {true} do {
hintsilent format["You are on side %1", side player];
sleep 5;
};
};
};

that should update your hint box every 5 seconds with the players side which should always be WEST unless he is a bandit in which case it should be ENEMY. You will be able to see if and when the players side changes.

As for the spawning dead .. yup, seen that before too .. will take a bit until I remember what the issue is. Are they maybe getting killed by infistar or the overwatch anti-hack because of ESS ? Some type of teleport restriction ..

What does the log say when they spawn in? Dont see anything in the server log, check the client log.
 
I'll take a look. It's definitely something strange because sometimes the zombies attack, sometimes they don't.

Im not seeing anything in the log client or RPT when it happens. I'll have to wait until it happens again to find out.

Nope. I have no idea why they don't do it. It might be specific skins I have players spawning in, but I know when I used a different database schema I never had the problem. I just kinda gave up. My server is basically the furthest thing from dayz you can get, without being a different game, anyway.
