Plot for Life and Plot Management work best together. They essentially
provide the same functionality. Both let you keep your plot after death
by using UID instead of CharacterID. Plot Management doesn't even have
an option to save characterID, so by default it is always keeping all
friends and the owner permanently until they are removed. The only major
difference between them is Plot For Life also adds permanent ownership
of built items on the plot, which is behavior most people expect. It
doesn't make sense to keep ownership of the plot after death but not the
other objects built on it. The other functionality it adds (take
ownership) can be toggled with a config variable.
It is rare that someone would want Plot For Life enabled, but Plot
Management disabled or vice versa. If they really want that they can
still do it manually, but consolidating them to a single config option
greatly simplifies things for everyone else.
I removed links to mod githubs because many changes have been made to
the 1.0.6 versions, so outdated information there will likely confuse
people. Authors are already credited in the README and change log.
In variables.sqf "DZ_storage_base" is now the parent class which
includes all tents and stashes. DZE_checkNearbyRadius variable is not
used (identical to DZE_PlotPole select 0).
Also disable abort and respawn immediately in pause menu onLoad. New
function fn_pauseMenuChecks allows admins to run unscheduled code in
pause menu onLoad.
The whole point of a global variable is you do not need to pass it.
DZE_plotManagement and DZE_plotmanagementAdmins are always defined and
do not change, so there is no need to pass them as parameters.
CursorTarget should always be passed from fn_selfActions, not reacquired
in action scripts. This is to ensure the same object is referenced. Plot
Management maintain_area is called from the dialog button, not
fn_selfactions.
removing the Respawn EH fixes this, I haven't noticed any adverse
effects from removing it yet.
Also changing groups now deletes the old group. The machine which the
group is local to must execute the deleteGroup command, the server
previously had to wait until the player disconnects to delete their
empty groups.
keypadCancel returns false when a combo/keypad dialog is not open and
when reset by calling the code keyPadReset = {uiSleep 2; keypadCancel =
false;};
There is a 2 second delay which makes brute forcing very very time
consuming. Note there must be a delay when resetting the variable since
fn_selfactions will update so quickly it will display the
unlock/lock/remove option before onUnload is executed.
A Plot For Life also includes Precise Base Building by Mikeeeyy. Precise
base building has no variable to switch it on or off, I don't think it
should.
Seems to work well enough, this may conflict with the duplicate object
uid fix, it appears to spam my server rpt.
@Adaptivity
- STR_EPOCH_WALLWITHDOORLOCKED_DESC string was missing
- I see no reason STR_EPOCH_PLOTDEED_ACTION was renamed to a less
descriptive name, and it was missing the German translation from the old
one, so I changed it back
- These build actions in fn_selfActions are for vanilla building. They
shouldn't be in the Epoch package. I renamed them and submitted them to
vanilla too.
New compile DZE_GetPlotFriends
DZE_PlotManagementAdmins allows admin management of plot poles and
buildables near poles
DZE_MaxPlotFriends allows servers to allow more than 6 friends on a pole
at once
