OMG, I created the folder, but the lights folder where is that supposed to be placed, the Missions or MPMissions folder? Cos I had placed it in missions and got an error then placed it in MPMissions and got the same error, am I missing the point here?

I dont even have that file and have verified with a few others as well, I only have the folders of that file in that directory.
Where you have this
Code:
if (!isDedicated) then {
[] execVM "fixes\kh_actions.sqf";
};try this
Code:
if (!isDedicated) then {
[] execVM "fixes\kh_actions.sqf";
[] execVM "lights\street_lights.sqf";

Where is the mission.pbo located? I don't seem to have one. The dayz is downloaded from there server which is exactly the same as everyone else s.
Ahhh wait a sec, so found this:
================
All the files in the following location get packaged into a mission.pbo when you start your server:
root\server\mpmissions\dayz.chernarus\
The "dayz.chernarus" folder is essentially your mission.pbo, just not packaged into a single file.
=============
So if I package up that folder with the other folders in it e.g. the lights/fixes etc and rename to mission.pbo will that work?

okay well the host is just me, its running from a another box on Windows. The server runs fine and is playable, just trying to get over this hurdle to editing.

Thats default because of the Explorer Viewer I use, has nothing to do with the scripting, when opened in explorer just shows normal folders like anyone elses.
So if the mission file is called dayz_1.chernarus.pbo does that mean packing up the dayz_1.chernarus folder and deleting the folder?
Also what do each of the numbers refer too, is that referring to the different instances?

The game only reads .pbo so not much point in deleting the folder from which you make the .pbo. If you use an rcon client you can see all the mission files (pbo's) that are in the MP directory.
How many servers are you running?
The MP file & name in use is determined by the hive.ini which is editable.

The game will read both the folder structure and pbo from the mpmissions folder. It will always go to a pbo first though. If you have a pbo it will ignore the folders.
Have you got the street lights sqf in the lights folder ? You also need the other file, with the locations of the lights. This must also be referenced in init.sqf where the public variable is declared.

I've been running street lights on Tavi for a while now and it has worked great. As with others, it does sometimes take a relog for them to take effect. I have noticed that very recently lights have become only viewable within 50m or so. Is there a way I can increase the range from which the light is seen?

Valued Member!
You may want to try run it (fnc_returnLampWS.sqf) server side for better performance and less lag.
There is an issue where, after logging, the existing lightpoints are already there so I search for them and light them up. Have noticed since that nearestObject only works for 50m. Am going to look at another way of doing this. I may just delete them and recreate. I wanted to reduce the work as much as possible so it ran as quickly as possible
EDIT: though, technically, it is 50m from the point of search (the position of the streetlight), the lightpoint is less than a couple of metres from that (vertically) so should find it, am going to test..
The Tower lights is another step ahead with the way the lights are created and re-detected, I will go through the streetlights and re-do the code. I am also concerned that more than one lightpoint may be created, which would cause the range to reduce.
