The size of control 1001 was shortened in 1.8.7, so it is better to set
it on control 156. The initial text is always blank for that control
when cursorTarget isNull. Showing the weight carried when looking at an
object or vehicle is not necessary. It cuts off with long vehicle names
anyway.
Junk and plant spawning is disabled by default. It can be enabled via
dayz_townGenerator config variable and positions blacklist (for trader
cities, etc.).
The trader objects spawn code was consolidated to functions.
Duplicate categories are now marked instead of being listed multiple
times. This makes the configs far easier to maintain. Admins can still
expand each individual category for further customization.
Also moved the dayz_epoch_b stringtable into a dayz_epoch package in the
dayz_code stringtable.
This makes it easier to maintain and search for code strings. Epoch_b
only holds extra models and textures now.
Updated loot spawning code for vehicle cargo.
Also it is faster and more efficient to call spawn_vehicles repeatedly
in one thread rather than spawn it hundreds of times (opening hundreds
of simultaneous script threads).
The only difference from the vanilla dayz pbo is the DeathScreen change.
It is better to do that in dayz_code RscTitles. Then the dayz pbo does
not need to be maintained in this repo.

Moved dog files to the \dog\ folder and pzombie files to the \pzombie\
folder. Also removed some legacy files that are no longer used.
The actions\ and compile\ folders are fully up to date now
The protective box is not needed on Chernarus.
If other maps need it we are better off spawning a permanent box around
the debug area once, instead of constantly creating new boxes every time
a player logs in.
Achievements are saved in the state field, so we don't have room to save
friendlies there anymore. DZE_FriendlySaving is removed for now. I will
add it back later with a save to player profile instead.
The dayz_players variable is not used for anything. There were several
other unused variables in server_playerLogin.sqf.
MPHit does not always fire when a player is killed:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#MPHit
Using either MPHit or MPKilled is not a good idea here. There is already
a local 'killed' event handler which fires on player death
(player_death.sqf). That script sends a PV (priority message) to the
server which triggers server_playerDied. That means fnc_plyrHit needed
to finish sending its data to the server via public setVariables
(non-priority messages) before server_playerDied executed. Triggering
both these scripts at the same time was a bad idea.
Instead of sending the data to the server via setVariable I just
included it in PVDZ_plr_Death. This also lets us pass extra information
from the damage handler like ammo type, cause of death, etc. Still need
to test, but it should be more reliable and performant than
fnc_playerHit called from MPHit or MPKilled.
Fnc_veh_handleRepair is a new version of fnc_veh_setFixServer with extra
handling. It is used in salvage and some other scripts, but not
server_monitor.
DayzGearSave is no longer used. I will submit a pull to remove it from
vanilla too.
Player_dumpBackpack is not a good solution to stifle duping. Players can
not see friends backpacks dropped on the ground. That is a problem when
they want to trade backpacks. They don't understand why their friend
can't see it. Also players can still get the "gear" scroll action if
they look where the hidden backpack is.
If it is still a problem after all the updates to current dayz code then
we should submit a pull request with a better solution to vanilla.
