dayZ Street Lights

[ChiliP]

I don't have a "5 create vehicle" and adding it in doesnt work as it gives me script restriction 0.

I´ve been playing arround with additional lights from the EU_Lights pack.
If i place them on a chernarus map the light is working out of the box, if i use them on a taviana map they won´t light up. Is there anything i am missing ? Do i need to add the coordinates in the fnc_return... ?

Hey Sharkking,
Would I be able to merge EU_Lights pack with Street Lights somehow to get the little lights along the runway at NWAF working?

 

[Hertizch]

Hey, first off thanks for this script! I really love having some lights in the streets to give some ambiance to night gaming.
Anyways I'm looking to changing the light to a bit more yellowish color, more close to the color of fire.
Are the levels of color and ambience in RGB?
_objLightPoint setLightColor [1, 0.88, 0.73];
_objLightPoint setLightAmbient [1, 0.88, 0.73];

Or how would I go about adjusting this?

EDIT: I got it, just played with the levels a bit until I got it perfect

i didn´t try any of the runway lights on cherno so far and therefore cannot say it works or not. At least on Taviana EU_Lights are not working at all. I will be away for two weeks. Afterwards i will try to figure this out. Maybe there is an option to add a lightsource to the coordinates by hand (or maybe some of the aftermath devs can give a hint how they realized it there)

 

[Innuce]

That's what I'm thinking. If you had the coordinates, you could manually add them to the array.

Any picture and the color values maybe ?

In the middle of writing a script to change the colour / brightness etc. based on parameters from the game so you can adjust the settings ingame. Purely as a means to decide on a good colour, presonally prefer being able to see what I am changing real time. Most likely will hide one of these lightpoints somewhere on the next release..

 

[Hertizch]

Changed these two from 0.73 to 0.60 on the blue level:
_objLightPoint setLightColor [1, 0.88, 0.60];
_objLightPoint setLightAmbient [1, 0.88, 0.60];

On the tower lights I set blue at 0.65.

It gave a little bit more yellow color witch in my opinion looks much better. I do not have any pictures right now as my server has been down over 17 hours now! HFB Servers are just so freaking fast in replying to tickets!

 

[Hertizch]

Btw, axeman! Do you have the coords for the lights (telephone poles) at the NE airfield? Now It's pitch black, and I want some lights up there

 

[Sharkking]

thanks Herzizch and Axe

 

[axeman]

I don't have the exact coords as they are all grouped into cells.

The light positions, in the street light addon files, are worked from the bottom left of the map, 6 cells across so will be somewhere in the 5th row.. Try looking for a worldspace near there, they should be grouped together by location..

The latest code picks them up real time, thanks to vbawol for a bit of code..

 

[Innuce]

Has there been an update to the Street Lights code? Looking forward to having lights along the sides of the runway at NWAF!

 

[axeman]

Currently this is for epoch as the lights are Unbanned. I want to return the street lights to switched off and leave the other maker lights and runway lights. A mod change is required so for standard dayz a custom script will be required..

 

[prominentalex]

I added the script, got in the server fine but no lights

 

[Hertizch]

Then you did something wrong...
How about posting your init? Or your rpt?

 

[calamity]

where do I put the lights folder I put it in my dayz_mission folder where my init.sqf is and this dont work (no lights)
I put it in the main dayz_server folder this dont work ( no lights) ????

 

[calamity]

most of my init.sqf lights script at the bottom

The Bliss package system works a bit like sticking your arm in a bunch
of snake nests and noticing you don't always get bitten. In this case
we got bitten; this line is to fool the merge process:

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf"; //Compile regular functions
*/

progressLoadingScreen 1.0;

player setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];
enableRadio false;

"filmic" setToneMappingParams [0.153, 0.357, 0.231, 0.1573, 0.011, 3.750, 6, 4]; setToneMapping "Filmic";
player_spawn_2 = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "fixes\player_spawn_2.sqf";
if (isServer) then {
hiveInUse = true;
_serverMonitor = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf";
};

if (!isDedicated) then {
0 fadeSound 0;
0 cutText [(localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING"), "BLACK FADED",60];
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
_playerMonitor =[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";

};

// Extra actions for Taviana:
if (!isDedicated) then {
[] execVM "kh_actions.sqf";

};

if (isServer) then {
axe_server_lampObjs = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "lights\fnc_returnLampWS.sqf";
"axeLampObjects" addPublicVariableEventHandler {_id = (_this select 1) spawn axe_server_lampObjs};
};

if (!isDedicated) then {
//StreetLights
[] execVM "lights\street_lights.sqf";
};

//R3F Towing and shit (or whatever you want to title it)
execVM "R3F_ARTY_AND_LOG\init.sqf"

};

 

[calamity]

i think i figured out

the fnc_returnlampWS in the compile folder in the server.pbo
Streetlights in the mission.pno ? and then edit the init.sqf like this ?

was this the correct placement ???
the fnc_returnlampWS in the compile folder in the server.pbo
Streetlights in the mission.pbo ? and then edit the init.sqf

 

[Hertizch]

Well, you do see the path to the lights files?

"lights\street_lights.sqf";
"lights\fnc_returnLampWS.sqf";

This means they go in your mission pbo.
It's pretty straight forward... If not, go trough the install guide once more.
