Instructions for enabling and configuring the day/night cycle option are at the top of the file. It is very easy for server owners to configure. Instead of performing a 307 hive call, this file uses the date stored in ServerCurrentTime that is updated every 60 seconds in sched_event. dayz_storeTimeDate is used in server_sendToClient to respond to client date requests sent by player_monitor. It was undefined on the server. The saving grace is the redundancy in publicVariable sends by the server. The client was bound to get the correct date eventually.
ServerCurrentTime needs to store the whole date to be used in sched_sync. Add better solution for removing events that run at startup from EpochEvents array.
Remove unused arrays. Completely redid the loot spawn points in Land_HouseB_Tenement (International Hotel lobby). The spawn points were awful. Several of them were buried in the floor so players could not see the loot.
Remove unused arrays. Military and MilitarySpecial groups contained essentially the same loot so they have been merged. The Hangar group has been replaced by MilitaryIndustrial. Fixed several bad loot spawn points in Land_a_stationhouse. Removed the small loot spawn on top of the vending machine in Land_Mil_ControlTower. Players are unable to acquire a cursor target on this position to get the gear option. Lowered the loot spawn points over the bunks in Land_Mil_Barracks. The spawn points were too high causing the loot to float above the bunks.
The default number for dayz_maxMaxWeaponHolders is for DayZ Mod. Since Epoch has the addition of small loot spawn points, it should have slightly higher allowed loot spawns around the player.
Replace switch do block with call using if and exitWith statements. Magazine class items are the most commonly spawned item so it is placed at the top. Switch to the more efficient form of createVehicle. Set more local variables at the top to make the file more readable. Prevent the generator from spawning halfway into the floor by raising the z coordinate. Lower the backpack spawns to prevent them from floating. Add replacement items if dayz_toolBreaking and dayz_knifeDulling are disabled.
Replace switch do block with call scope with if, exitWith. Add magazine selection to spawned weapons. This functions spawns weapons into a container. It should also spawn a random amount of matching magazines.
If a military building is selected then matching groups of RU,US,EU, or CZ loot are selected so that weapons, ammo, and attachments spawned in the building will match. Reintroduce loot position shuffling. This was a feature in 1.0.5.1. I'm not sure if this is necessary but it changes the order in which the loot positions are selected so the loot would in theory be in different places each time.
Checking for near zombies and players in the forEach loop is inappropriate and inefficient. Because it was checking for near zombies, the internal zombies were not spawning at all. It appeared that they were because the walking zombies were using the building position plus the radius option on createAgent. fn_selectRandomLocation using the size of the object as the minimum distance prevents the zombies from potentially spawning into objects and dying. The max distance for the crash site zombies is increased a bit so they can spawn farther away from the object since they are in an open field. The position on the internal zombies should not have the z coordinate automatically set to zero. This prevents the zombies from spawning at positions on upper floors of buildings.
Function _cantSee should not be recompiled every time this file runs. fnc_fieldOfView is compiled in compiles.sqf and called here. Checking zombie counts in this file is redendant. It is already being done in player_spawnCheck and building_SpawnZombies. Variables "agentObject" and "BaseLocation" are unused. The createAgent command should not be used with a radius. This causes some of the zombies to be killed after being spawned into objects. Some of the walking zombies were spawning inside the building when they should not.
