When localizing vanilla strings please do not put "EPOCH" in their name
or include them in the dayz_epoch package of the stringtable. This
creates more work to backport common translation updates and vice versa.
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the 1.0.6 versions, so outdated information there will likely confuse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.
The hive call in server_publishObject is the same between vanilla and
Epoch. The only difference is vanilla uses the _inventory area for
owner, lock code, etc. variables where as modular Epoch items just store
an empty array there.
The object classname does not need to be sent in the PV because it can
be obtained on the server.
PVDZE_veh_Publish was not used.
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.
- Moved player_countMagazines to \compile\ folder
- Removed several unused and obsolete files
- Moved some epoch functions out of compiles.sqf into individual files
- Synced order and formatting with 1.8.7. Much easier to compare now.
Any changes I make to official DayZ Mod code and files I also submit as
a pull request to them.
The arrays for safes/lockboxes are kept on the server and when a client
goes to open the safe, a PV is sent to the server requesting the arrays.
Server sends info back.
unused dayz_disco variables commented out
player sync already does 10m nearby gear update so only perform if no
sync was.
moved dayz_recordlogin to under !isNull _object check to prevent db call
if player isnull.
