Removing and Deconstructing Objects
- Now adds colored helpers to modular objects.
- Green: Refund one kit.
- Blue: Refund entire recipe of parts (multiple items).
- Red: No refund will be given. Either because the object is too damaged, or the refund feature is disabled.
- If the object has a door open while selected, no helper will display/float in the open door space.
- The gear panel will only open if a refund is available.
- If a lit fire barrel is removed, the flame will now be extinguished.
- If a plot pole is removed, plot boundary helpers will now be deleted.
- Refunds for non-modular objects are handled by their respective config settings.
- Removed non-lockable storage objects will now refund their contents.
- The corresponding storage kit will be refunded.
- If there is room outdoors, backpacks will be arranged in a neat circle close to the refund point.
- If the spawn point is too close to a building, backpacks will spawn at the player's location.
- Helpers will now appear on wrecked/ruined modular objects.
- Helper color arrays were changed to helper transparency values only, to make it easier (and safer) for server owners.
Upgrading, Downgrading, Maintaining and Packing Objects
- Now includes colored helper spheres for improved player experience.
- Reapply damage to upgraded/downgraded object if necessary.
Changes made by @Victor-the-Cleaner
dayz_zombieSpeak and player_alertZombies are called often together or should be. fnc_alertZombies groups them together and uses the given parameters. This streamlines and corrects the missing or incorrect calls from dayz_zombieSpeak or player_alertZombies.
Safes and Lockboxes got updated and need dayz_authKey now. Also improved the logging of codes and who has used which codes in the logs for server admins.
Closes#1942 in combination with 48858b2
The "packing" variable was made redundant by dayz_actionInProgress
because it was only set locally.
DisableUserInput is unnecessary now because server_handleSafeGear is
called unscheduled. Getting the cargo, creating the new safe and
deleting the old one should complete in the same frame with no window
for players to remove gear:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_server/compile/server_handleSafeGear.sqf#L51-L67
The "claimed" check is also no longer needed because
server_handleSafeGear is called unscheduled and exits if the object is
null, so two players attempting to unlock at the same time will not
work.
There is no point in having two variables for the same purpose.
It is also pointless to keep an action count tally like r_action_count
was doing, since it is only ever checked for being 0 or 1. Any count
higher or lower than that is irrelevant.
I will make this change in vanilla too.
- Safe inventory arrays are no longer sent over network to all machines
on server startup and on each lock/unlock
- Disabled user input then closed gear dialog during safe
lock/unlock/pack to block various duping methods.
- Moved safe creation, deletion and gear handling to server. This cuts
down on add[Magazine/Weapon/Backpack]Cargo, createVehicle and
deleteVehicle BE logs.
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).
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.
It makes no sense to rename the identical DayZ PVs to have an E in their
name. I don't see any good reason it was done in the first place. All it
accomplishes is breaking script compatibility between the two mods and
requiring different publicvariable.txt filters. The only time it makes
sense is for custom Epoch variables that aren't used in vanilla.
All admins have to do to update custom scripts is swap the names
according to the change log.
Note I've submitted a pull request to replace PVDZ_veh_Save with
PVDZ_obj_Save in official too because they are duplicates.
