I gues nearly every DayZ+ Serverowner knows this: Big Bases are only build because of duping the shit out of every material... i think this kind of sucks. We had to ban the half server because of this.
So i thought about finding away to give the players some kind of "Construction-Package", which spawn like random helicrashs, like the carepackages on namalsk.
I did, and it works great... Clans can now search for these Packages like they search for helicrashs... its a cargo-net container which has all the building-materials around it it. Sandbags, Netting-Materials, Scrapmetal, Wire-Fencing, Woot.
Here a short howto:
Unpack your dayz_server.pbo.
Create a new file in the compile-folder, named server_construction_ckg_dzn.sqf
Put this Code into the file:
_num says how many loot-piles should be build around the container, in this case, it could be something between 4(minimum) and 14 (10 random + 4fixed) items.
_itemType and _itemChance are the classnames and the spawnchance of each spawnable item. In this case every item has the same chance of spawning in.
Next go to init/server_functions.sqf, search for this line...
Create a new line under it with this content:
Now open system/server_monitor.sqf and add this code at the bottom of the file
In this case this will spawn 6 random packages, just change the number as you want...
Repack your PBO and exchange it...
Sorry for my bad english, hope this still helps anyone... i gues thats a better solution for getting stuff then allowing duping or lootpiling.
