Hi there,
I am really looking for some clarification on vehicle spawns etc etc
So I'm running DayZ on a Bliss Hive, and can successfully add in extra spawns for vehicles and am getting along OK with database structure etc.
One thing that is confusing me, and I cannot seem to find an answer for is in reference to banned/allowed vehicles.
My understanding is that DayZ has particular classes banned in the anim.pbo file and a couple of other places, I get this. I read that to get around this you can unpack the pbo, remove the restrictions and voila, you can add in via database manipulation what you want. BUT, apparently whoever you wish to connect to your server must also have those files installed - is that correct? And is this limit just for Cherno, or have all maps (falu, zarg, utes etc etc) got this restriction? (i'm thinking not, see a little later in the post as to why)
A second workaround is to have rmod installed but again as far as I am aware this requires a client side install, limiting the amount of people that can play to a degree.
One thing that is troubling me is that a friend pays for a server via a company that will remain nameless & can run whatever map they choose and seem to have access to a number of different planes & heli's(such as An2_TK_EP1, little bird) and I don't have anything client side installed, but they work.
Is this something to do with the verifying of sigs etc?? I'm clutching at straws here as you can see.
I understand only certain maps have spawns in Bliss, so one thing I tried, that has been hit and miss, is to load the map editor in ARMA, create a mission, spawn in vehicles and then parse that .sqf file via a php script that runs insert SQL statements into the DB. I've had success getting the An2_TK_EP1 running & spawned in Zargabad, but it's hit and miss as to what vehicles work and which do not. I can see them in the instance_vehicle table but they never appear.
Could anyone please offer some clarification on all of this as it is driving me mad, or provide a list of what vehicles will spawn within what maps, or what changes I need to make to server files without having an implication on my user base?
Many thanks in advance!
