Welcome credits file not doing anything ~ help needed

LTGManny · May 15, 2014

Hi, I am running Epoch server v.1.0.4.2 and I am having trouble with the welcome credits for when people join the server.

The scripts are from here ~ http://opendayz.net/threads/dayz-welcome-message-credits-style.13071/

Since it was not working, I tried moving the Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf to another folder called 'welcome' in the same directory. That is the only reason why my files say 'welcome\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf'

My mission.pbo init.sqf file ~ here.
My mission.pbo \welcome\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf file ~ here.

Per instruction, I placed [] execVM "welcome\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf"; between the lines

Code:

if (!isDedicated) then {
//Conduct map operations

to make

Code:

if (!isDedicated) then {
[] execVM "welcome\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf";
    //Conduct map operations

I have tried seeing if the [] execVM "welcome\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf"; was actually executing in the first place by making it search for the server_welcomecredits in the wrong folder, and it came up as a script not found error. So that tells me it's seeing the script but it's not doing anything.

I have tried looking around for an answer but haven't found one, any help would be most appreciated, and if anyone has had experience with Epoch and wouldn't mind helping a new guy in the field that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: RESOLVED - Thanks to SchwEde's comment ~

Basically by using v1.3.4 of Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf -

it came up as a script not found error. So that tells me it's seeing the script but it's not doing anything.

It means it looked for the file but didnt find it... basically it was in fact looking but you have to change the pathway so it actually finds it and my best guess why it isnt working is just a bug somwhere in the script itself because it probably finds and it loads to early befor you can even see it.. contact the dude who made the script manny

Btw Noob change it to LTG Manny...

LTGManny · May 15, 2014

It means it looked for the file but didnt find it

Noob. It only says script not found after I deliberately changed the pathway to NOT find it. Showing that when the pathway is correct the execution is working but the script isn't.

Have contacted author. Hopefully he knows what's up

"file doesn't exist" means the server can't find the file in the given path
"file can't be loaded" means, the path for the server is correct, but in most cases the file is missing on client side.

exist a rpt log of the error?

LTGManny · May 16, 2014

There is no rpt Error regarding 'Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf'

Its an older version but working fine. Just need some customization from you and should be done

Hi Guys I am try to get this to run but it wont show up when I respawn.
I have added the code above and entered my info in the places it needs to be , and added this to the init where I think it should be is this correct ?

if (!isDedicated) then {[] execVM "Scripts\kh_actions.sqf";
[] execVM "compile\Server_WelcomeCredits.sqf";
//Conduct map operations
0 fadeSound 0;
waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");

If this is correct any idea why it wont show up.
thanks

OK update using SchwEde version it works but in using Helo Spawn and have scroll to display name tag in game and both opions dissapear while spawning after 5 -10 seconds and the only option i get is the sever Credits option and of course plumit to my death. Any idea why it cancel out the other items thanks

SchwEde · May 18, 2014

Try to put in your in init.sqf

Code:

DZE_ForceNameTags = true;

Somewhere in the configs near the top.

Thanks SchwEde this is now working with your suggestion
