Hey i am using DayS.T and I am trying to add the intro when join everytime I add the PBO when loading the screen it stays black plz help.
Here is the instructions:

Hello all,
I saw this and instantly wanted it - however it was bad to see that it didnt work upon next login until the server is rebooted.
However, i have fixed this now, and also i have made some small changes to the script.
This is how its setup on my mission:
1) create a folder called Camera inside your mission folder
2) create a file called loginCamera.sqf and paste the following code into it:
Code:
private [ "_camera", "_welcomeMessage", "_camDistance" ];
_welcomeMessage = format["Welcome to AlienX's UK130 Server %1, Enjoy your stay!",format["%1", name player]];
_camDistance = 60;
waitUntil {!isNil ("dayzLoginRecord")};
//intro move
showCinemaBorder true;
camUseNVG false;
_camera = "camera" camCreate [(position player select 0)-2, position player select 1,(position player select 2)+_camDistance];
_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"];
_camera camSetFOV 2.000;
_camera camCommit 0;
waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};
_camera camSetTarget vehicle player;
_camera camSetRelPos [0,0,2];
_camera camCommit 8;
cutText [_welcomeMessage, "PLAIN DOWN"];
waitUntil {camCommitted _camera};
_camera cameraEffect ["terminate","back"];
camDestroy _camera;
You can modify the _camDistance and _welcomeMessage all you want (This camera flies from above the player down towards his/her position making quite a nice effect)
Save this file.
Now, modify the init.sqf:
Near the top of the file, enter the line: 'dayzLoginRecord = nil;'
Code:
/*
INITILIZATION
*/
startLoadingScreen ["","RscDisplayLoadCustom"];
cutText ["","BLACK OUT"];
enableSaving [false, false];
//REALLY IMPORTANT VALUES
dayZ_instance = 1; //The instance
dayzHiveRequest = [];
initialized = false;
dayz_previousID = 0;
dayzLoginRecord = nil; //New line is here!
~~~ Rest of file ~~~
Then at the bottom of the file enter the line: '_nul = [] execVM "camera\loginCamera.sqf";'
Code:
if (!isDedicated) then {
//Conduct map operations
0 fadeSound 0;
waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
//Run the player monitor
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death; _nul = [] execVM "camera_init.sqf";}];
_playerMonitor = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";
_nul = [] execVM "camera\loginCamera.sqf";
};
This works for me, i hope it works for you!
p.s.
The problem was always due to the 'dayzRecordLogin' variable, this seemed to never be reset to nil after the mission was unloaded. - Forcing it to nil allows the camera (and other things that rely on it) to correctly execute when the player has logged in.
