Drink Water v2.0

This thread will serve as support discussion for my new script release, Drink Water v2.0.

What are the differences between this version and the previous version?

v2.0:

• Add sound when drinking water
• French / German / English translations

would this work with EPOCH???

DOes this srcipt work with HBFserver hosting? i am pretty sure it does just not 100% becuase i just got this server yesterday. i havent been able to find a video tut for this, any help would be great. I got all the files modified up to this part :
* Extract your ``mission.pbo`` and copy into it the contents of the `dayz_drink_water\mission\script` folder.
* Merge / Modify / Create your `stringtable.xml` by `dayz_drink_water\mission\stringtable.xml`
* Merge / Modify your `description.ext` by `dayz_drink_water\mission\description.ext`
* Compress your ``mission.pbo``, fire up your server and enjoy a cool drink from a well or pond of your choice.
I dont understand this part. should i create these folders in my file manager thru hfbs?

Just compress your mission folder extract from mission.pbo and fire up on your server with file manager or with an FTP manager.

Hello will it work for saureland instance ?

Is this still working?

I've added it on Epoch and added s_player_DrinkWater to Infistar as an allowed action but I get nothing on the scroll wheel menu when stood in a pond or next to any water pump.

Also I don't have a mission.pbo, as with most Epoch servers it's unpacked to MPMissions\DayZ_EpochZ11.chernarus so I've added it in there and edited the descriptions.ext as instructed.

I can't see any errors, server starts fine, any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT

I managed to fix this, all my scripts are in a folder called custom in my MPMissions folder as well as having a custom compiles file which I got from this guide:
http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5211-creating-a-custom-compilessqf/

I copied fn_selfactions.sqf to the custom folder, as well as the drinkwater.sqf. Added fn_selfaction.sqf to the custom compiles file and edited the location of the script in fn_selfactions to custom\drinkwater.sqf and now it all works.

Hope this helps anyone else who comes looking with this same issue.

I am having issues getting this to work with Epoch, I have installed it just like the instructions say.

*update
I have it working but the option to drink water is invisible i can scroll to it but i cant see it on my scroll down actions. What could be causing that?

anybody know how to fix invisible action?

anybody know how to fix invisible action? sorry for double post.

I'm trying to get this working on a new server I'm putting up. Epoch 1.0.5.1, but I get no scroll menu option to drink the water. Does it still work?

fn_selfactions always work. And Epoch hasnt changed. You must have an error in your fn_selfactions code, post the file.

I just cut and pasted the code into my fn_selfactions: http://pastebin.com/4p7DRFWG

Did you add this line to your variables.sqf?
s_player_drinkWater = -1;
If not, then s_player_drinkWater will not be defined and will not be < 0.

You have checked the scripts location to be in your mission at custom\drink_water\drink_water.sqf ?

And my final possible issue is "did you add the stringtable.xml?" Because your addaction doesnt have any text, it just gets the language definition from that file https://github.com/clark17/dayz_drink_water/blob/master/mission/stringtable.xml
try changing your addaction to
Screw them foreigners if they cant read English!

That was probably the issue with the previous posts about "invisible action".

I am going to add this script to my Exilemod server .. that is retarded that you can only drink if you fill a bottle and drink it. Bottles should be reserved for taking water to boil it, but if I am going to die of thirst, I would rather take a chance drinking dirty water.
