Hi,
After many hours of reading threads and trying several things I found the easiest way is to join your server to login screen where your player name is and then hit esc to multiplayer option and then control E to get in editor mode and pick map you use. Go into 2D edit and establish Center, Group and one playable unit on map and go into 3d editing.
Put down your items and don't pick any vehicles and use familiar items for what you normally see in dayz. Save as mpmission and singleplayer and if its alot of items save often. When you have what you need and have saved exit the editor and go into you Arma2 folder or ArmaOA folder that has a folder "other profiles" and the find your player name folder and look for the saved file you saved.
Open in notepad ++ and copy everything below the top information that shows "Center" and next section "Group" and third section "player" You want to copy from first object you created to end of the file.
Paste this in a new page in notepad ++ and call it "yourbasename.sqf" Make sure it ends with two sets of }; };
at top of this page insert this
if (isServer) then {
then below this is your first object so here is example of top of your page:
if (isServer) then {
_vehicle_0 = objNull;
if (true) then
{
_this = createVehicle ["Land_HBarrier_large", [2193.7917, 12840.767, -0.13677154], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_vehicle_0 = _this;
_this setDir 13.004638;
_this setPos [2193.7917, 12840.767, -0.13677154];
blah blah blah (rest of objects then at bottom)
};
}:
then go into your mission.pbo main folder and create a folder called "buildings" make sure you save your new yourbasename.sqf into that building folder.
then open your init.sqf folder towards the top of that file you will see a player_monitor section right after that insert
should look like this
//Run the player monitor
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
_playerMonitor =[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";
//_playerMonitor = [] execFSM "admintools\player_monitor.fsm";
_nul = [] execVM "playerspawn.sqf";
[] execVM "custom\kh_actions.sqf";
"heliCrash" addPublicVariableEventHandler {
_list = nearestObjects [_this select 1, ["CraterLong"], 100];
{deleteVehicle _x;} foreach _list;
};
};
//here add your building folder sqf info like the following:
sleep 20;
//////////BUILDINGS//////////
[] execVM "buildings\yourbasename.sqf";
now save and exit. note: you don't have to use sleep 20; if its one or two of these sqf but if you are adding like 10 or more then use that to stagger your loading of the server for users.
repack your mission.pbo and upload your new base
If you have several bases its best to add each one on its own so just add another line like this
[] execVM "buildings\yourbasename.sqf";
[] execVM "buildings\yourbasename2.sqf";
and on and on also put your secondbase sqf in the building folder from up above in this message.
This works for me although its client side not server so it does cause your download file for users to get bigger.
You can put these server side and if you use AI they cannot see client side buildings but they do see server side ones.
I have found the client side is ok for me so far but will probably move to the server side option soon.
To put server side you would put this info in your dayz.server.pbo and change the path of buildings to where your server files are example:
[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildings\base.sqf";
Also in that instance you would put your building folder in the dayz.server.pbo main folder.
Hope this isn't as confusing as most the threads I tried to follow lol
its my first one
