[Support] DZMS DayZ Mission System

I mean i only use infiSTAR and it could be the reason cause i know that i havent updated dzms since like a month ago and lately its just now starting to do this and ive only updated infiSTAR
 
then turn off infisfart and see if it resolves. if not then there must be a deleteunit command that is running prematurely.
or they are being abducted by aliens ..
 
yes i do run infistar, have been on with chris as well about it, i also run an Epoch server as well with the same DZMS and it is fine with the same version of infistar on it
 
Hi, I just put in the base DZMS system by Vampire. I haven'd done any investigation into configurations or mission spawning and it seems to work except for one thing. My client-side .rpt is getting spammed with messages like this:

WARNING: Function 'name' - 6aa72040# 1017487: fr_corpsman.p3d REMOTE has no unit
- network id 2:10792
- person Steven Mitchell
- dead
WARNING: Function 'name' - 65830080# 1017496: fr_co.p3d REMOTE has no unit
- network id 2:10794
- person George Williams
- dead
WARNING: Function 'name' - 6bf76040# 1017507: fr_scout3.p3d REMOTE has no unit
- network id 2:10802
- person Chad Martinez
- dead
It seems that a series of messages like this get entered into the log every time an AI gets killed. As a result, the file gets real big real fast. Any idea what causes this? Can it be suppressed? I didn't find anything about this when I searched the forum.

Thanks,
Bob
 
Hey guys! I installed DZMS yesterday and now this happened...


According to my humanity, I am Mother Teresa *times* a billion! :D

Any ideas was to what happened here?

Script works great as vanilla on our Epoch Overwatch Origins server. Now to add Overwatch details to it.

I have had one request from our players. They'd like to see the radius that the AI stay within to be expanded so they don't stay so clustered around the center. I think this is the _wpRadius value and increasing it would increase their "operating" radius. Before I make the change and risk breaking things, am I on the right track? And is the units in meters?

Thanks,
Bob

that is an odd format but you are correct about the ai being killed. usually its a one-liner
function "rincewind" is dead

Your solution is to backup or delete your rpt log when the server restarts to keep it a managable size. I am not sure if there is any way to disable those messages,

The _wpradius may be the radius from the waypoint position where the waypoint is considered complete. So if its 50 then they will move to the NEXT waypoint when they get 50m from the current waypoint. Post that line of code you are talking about to be sure because I just did a search for _wpRadius in my DZAI from Sheeps Epoch damn you steam and it was not found in DZAI folder.
I did find
_wp setWaypointCompletionRadius which is what I have described above (probably)
and also D:\Arma\Server\@dayz_epoch_server\addons\dayz_server\DZAI\compile
_patrolRadius = ((((getMarkerSize _spawnMarker) select 0) min ((getMarkerSize _spawnMarker) select 1)) min 300);
which is probably what you want.
This sets the radius that they will patrol from the center of the marker and selects the smallest value between the marker X, marker Y and 300 meters.
 
It's in DZMSAISpawn.sqf


Code: 
/*                                                                        //
    DZMSAISpawn.sqf by Vampire
    Usage: [position,unitcount,skillLevel] execVM "dir\DZMSAISpawn.sqf";
        Position is the coordinates to spawn at [X,Y,Z]
        UnitCount is the number of units to spawn
        SkillLevel is the skill number defined in DZMSAIConfig.sqf

diag_log text format["[DZMS]: (%3) %1 AI Spawned, %2 units in mission.",count (units _unitGroup),_unitMissionCount,_unitArrayName];


Line 16 sets it and then lines 125-132 set the radius around the four waypoints 20 units N,S,E,W from center. And then line 135-136 defines their operating range using _wpRadius, near as I can tell.

That worked.. but I have a few more things that we're noticing. Although it's set to gain humanity, neither the bandit count nor our humanity increases when AI are killed.

I'm also getting this msg in the server .rpt repeatedly when killing AI even though we aren't even looking in the backpacks. I'm relatively new to .SQF scripts but I don't see anything wrong with it and I'm using the latest file from GITHUB unmodified.

if !(backpack _unit == "") then {removeBackpack _unit;>
2:46:25 Error position: <_unit == "") then {removeBackpack _unit;>
2:46:25 Error Missing )
2:46:25 File z\addons\dayz_server\DZMS\Scripts\DZMSAIKilled.sqf, line 47
2:46:53 Error in expression <if (DZMSRunGear) then {

And lastly (at least for now), the NVGs and RPGs aren't disappearing. I though that was automatic. I didn't see a parameter anywhere in the config file controlling that, unless I missed it.

It seems others have seen these problems but I couldn't find an answer to them.

Thanks,
Bob

Has anyone tried DZMS in dayz 1.8.3, ive added it to my server and it seems no mission boxes are spawning at the missions?
 
Hi ShootingBlanks, No, I hadn't edited that file. But I had added Overwatch weapons in some of the other files. Just for grins, I re-downloaded the entire package and installed it pure vanilla. I still got that error. I made your suggested change (the parens weren't in Vampire's original files either). Still the same error.

And with the vanilla version I still get no humanity for the kills and the bandit count doesn't increase. And the NVGs and RPGs stay on the AI bodies. Several had posted with the same despawn problem but no one posted a solution. One person claimed to have a fix but didn't post it. I PM'ed him, asking him how he fixed it. No reply yet.

Anyone have a fix for that? And I'm not running WAI or DZAI right now. I want to get them working properly individually before I overlay them.
