Epoch 1.0.7.1 Beta - RC4

[AirwavesMan]

Ladies and Gentlemen we are ready for Epoch 1.0.7.1 RC4.

From our plans this will be the final RC. The actual release date of Epoch 1.0.7.1 will be the 07.07.2022. This can change due to bugs and other potential problems within the testing phase.

There are 4 things that needs to be tested again:

1. Medical System like taking and giving blood, painkillers and all other medical related stuff.
2. Building System with snapping and also building without plot.
3. Repair and Salvage vehicles.
4. Changing clothes over water, stones and other not ideal places.

Joining with the DayZ Launcher

1. Download and install 7-zip from this website: https://7-zip.de/download.html
2. Download the Epoch 1.0.7.1 Client Files from google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R15A3G2MDUyg279faOqzfWFr53KygT-h/view?usp=sharing
3. If you have finished the download, unpack the Epoch 1.0.7.1 Client Files. You need at least 7 GB of disk space.
4. Go into the folder where you have installed all your of Arma 2 OA DayZ mods. It depends on where the DayZ Launcher has set the path.
5. Once you found the folder with your mods rename @DayZ_Epoch to @DayZ_Epoch_old.
6. Copy and paste the @DayZ_Epoch folder from 3. into the mods folder where you have renamed the Epoch Mod. Keep in mind you need at least 7 GB of disk space.
7. There should be a folder with the name @DayZ_Epoch_old and @DayZ_Epoch now.
8. Click on @DayZ_Epoch and check if there is a sub folder called addons. @DayZ_Epoch\addons.
9. If there is another folder called @DayZ_Epoch copy everything from this folder into the root folder called @DayZ_Epoch. So it looks like: that @DayZ_Epoch\addons and not: @DayZ_Epoch\@DayZ_Epoch\addons.
10. You are ready to join an Epoch 1.0.7.1 Server now. Open the DayZ Launcher and join 142.132.210.90:2342 - Official Epoch 1.0.7.1 RC4 Test Server. Use only the IP without the port or search for Official Epoch 1.0.7.1.
11. You will get a message that Epoch needs validating/updating. Click ok and ignore it. You can join the Test Server now.
12. If you want to join any other Epoch non 1.0.7.1 server, just rename @DayZ_Epoch_old back to @DayZ_Epoch.

For Server Admins:

1. Download and install 7-zip from this website: https://7-zip.de/download.html
2. Download the Epoch 1.0.7.1 Server Files from google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NCWR8fvwcGD86PjY5nqt4xqh393HZgw8/view?usp=sharing
3. The passwortd to unpack is: 123456
4. Server Admins can use the verifySignatures = 2; since all addons are fully signed. The bikey comes with the server files. Please overwrite the old RC3 key with the new RC4 key.
5. Update your configVariables from RC3 or take the new one. A few new variables got added.
6. There are many codes changes within the server.pbo so please make sure you update them properly.
7. Also updated battleye filters got added to RC4.

How to test:

1. Do not use any third party scripts or tools. Do not use infistar as an admin tool. Use this testkit: https://github.com/worldwidesorrow/TestKit
2. Enable -showscripterrors in the DayZ Launcher and never ever use -nologs for testing.
3. If you have bugs and problems on testing always provide logs. Server(if you are the admin) and Client Logs. You can find the Client Logs under C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA
4. It is possbile that the folder is hidden in windows. You can make it visible: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10
5. Do not post the logs directly, use pastebin.com, google drive, or something like that and add the link.

ItemEpinephrine seems to be missing it's action.

    class ItemEpinephrine: CA_Magazine
    {
        scope = 2;
        count = 1;
        type = 256;
        model = "\dayz_equip\models\epi.p3d";
        picture = "\dayz_equip\textures\equip_epi_ca.paa";
        displayName = "$STR_EQUIP_NAME_EPI_PEN";
        descriptionShort = "$STR_EQUIP_DESC_EPI_PEN";
    };

in z\addons\dayz_code\config.cpp. Is this no longer supposed to be used or was it an oversight?

[AirwavesMan]

Im not sure what you mean, can you please explain what missing action means for you?

[ndavalos]

You can't right click it in your inventory and get an action. Right clicking does nothing. It should be defined something like:

    class ItemEpinephrine: CA_Magazine
    {
        scope = 2;
        count = 1;
        type = 256;
        model = "\dayz_equip\models\epi.p3d";
        picture = "\dayz_equip\textures\equip_epi_ca.paa";
        displayName = "$STR_EQUIP_NAME_EPI_PEN";
        descriptionShort = "$STR_EQUIP_DESC_EPI_PEN";
        class ItemActions
        {
            class Use
            {
                text = "$STR_TAKE_MORPHINE";
                script = "spawn player_useMeds;";
            };
        };
    };

It's not defined like the rest of the medical items with a right click action:

    class ItemMorphine: CA_Magazine
    {
        scope = 2;
        count = 1;
        type = 256;
        model = "\dayz_equip\models\morphine.p3d";
        picture = "\dayz_equip\textures\equip_morphine_ca.paa";
        displayName = "$STR_EQUIP_NAME_MORPHINE";
        descriptionShort = "$STR_EQUIP_DESC_MORPHINE";
        class ItemActions
        {
            class Use
            {
                text = "$STR_TAKE_MORPHINE";
                script = "spawn player_useMeds;";
            };
        };
    };

[AirwavesMan]

ItemEpinephrine never had any rightclick action class.

[ndavalos]

Hmm, my bad, looks like you can only use it on another player to take them out of unconsciousness.

[dreamforceinc]

Is it possible to expand the place under the name of vehicle?

[AirwavesMan]

Unfortunately this will not make into the release version.
