Safe Zone upgrades

[noxsicarius]

The current system is a modified AGN safezone script with a vehicle safe zone system. This works fine, but is a bit limited. I plan to write my own original safezone script to make things as efficient as possible.

Plans for my own version:

• [x] Player god mode (including disabled unconsciousness)
• [x] Vehicle god mode
• [x] No shooting vehicle/player/grenade
• [x] Anti theft
• [x] Use can_build system to auto detect safe zones
• [x] Allow users to add custom locations
• [ ] Possible option for plot pole safe zones? @nidico100
• [x] Optional speed limit
• [x] Keep my custom additions to the AGN version such as zombie shield, but make it optional
• [X] Optional AI shield

[noxsicarius]

The new system will be a mashup of a number of good scripts (will be listed in the file for credits). It will be faster and more efficient to do this rather than start from the ground up. This will let me make the best possible script without any complications and allow for the most customization by users.

+1 (y)

I think it will be an awesome script when it's finished. If you need a tester just say it.

[noxsicarius]

I will let you guys know so you can test for me. Worked on it for most of the day. It is half done and works great so far.

[dillasyx]

Nice to hear :)

[noxsicarius]

Anyone know how to wipe an AI killed handler? I ran the standard remove and remove all with a delay to let the handle finish, but it still doesn't seem to wipe. Delete works, just leaves a handler lost error behind.

[noxsicarius]

Alright guys, new safe zone system added in. I need it tested. It doesn't have plot pole safe zones yet. I only really need anti-theft tested for me. It should allow FRIENDS to access your gear, but no one else. If you attempt to access someones gear it auto-redirects to your own gear. No need to walk away like with infistar or look away like with AGN. Full auto process now. I hope.

[dillasyx]

i could test

[dillasyx]

where to get the newest testing branch? the thing on dropbox is version 1.10.4

[noxsicarius]

All branches can be downloaded right on here. The dropbox is only for places that block github (some schools do it for "cheating" problems) https://github.com/noxsicarius/Epoch-Admin-Tools/archive/TestBranch.zip

[dillasyx]

okay thx

[noxsicarius]

If you tested it already, please redownload and replace your Activate.sqf I did a bugfix that didn't push properly. The zones won't work without that fix.

[dillasyx]

okay i will use the bugfix today, yesterday i couldn't test, i was scripting a mission for my server

[noxsicarius]

Also test the teleport to me if possible. After the variable handle changes it had some issues that I hope I corrected.

[dillasyx]

I am starting the server right now. I will test specially:

• Safezones
• Teleport anything else?

[noxsicarius]

I think teleporting others while they are in vehicles still needs testing. Just have someone get in as the driver and teleport them to you. This only worked while outside vehicles previously.

[dillasyx]

Now the action menu is working, before it wasn't working for me. but the server rules looks buggy only the first has an dot the others don't but i will have a look about the config, because i can't see the admin menu

[dillasyx]

i added my uid to the config as last time, but i'm not an admin

[noxsicarius]

Yes, that has always been like that (server rules). I never got around to fixing it. If you know how let me know. There were changes to the config file so you will need to replace it. If you think everything is good, try pressing F1 to teleport. It will work without the menu so long as the id is correct and there are no errors. If you are sure the ID is right and it still doesn't work, then check arma2oaserver.rpt and arma2oa.rpt for errors

[dillasyx]

i replaced the whole admintools folder and added my id to the config

[dillasyx]

i found in the rpt: 15:26:50 "ERROR: Cannot Sync Character Nidico as no characterID"

[dillasyx]

i try a restart

[dillasyx]

Teleportation works fine for me :) After restart i also can see the admin menu now

[dillasyx]

there's no config variable for the transformation menu, so how can i disable it?

[noxsicarius]

transform is only given to admins, not players. The teleport works for YOU or when you tp to me?

[dillasyx]

ah okay when i press f1 and teleport to any location it works i'm alone on the server at the moment, because the others are working

[noxsicarius]

Alright, go to the server browser and filter for Nox's. Join that for me real fast. I can test teleport there.

[dillasyx]

can't find wait i will look in dayz launcher

[dillasyx]

nope you're not on the list :/

[noxsicarius]

Check the arma 2 server browser again. You may have to wait a minute for filter to finish

[dillasyx]

i think i know the problem i am using beta 112555 not the new steam update

[noxsicarius]

Oh wow. I joined multiplayer using LAN and it blocked the server from internet. Weird.

[dillasyx]

arma 2 is weird :D

[noxsicarius]

Wait why are you using such an old build?

[dillasyx]

i made an server some months ago and it worked with this version so i still use it :) never change a running system

[noxsicarius]

Can you still play on other servers with that version of the game? Thought you had to have the 125548 update for the steam id change to work.

[dillasyx]

yes it's possible with using remote in server browser i am updating now to 125548 (75mb left)

[noxsicarius]

You can update the server pretty easily, just recopy your game files to the server folder. You may not need to add the steamID thing to the config and that's about it.

[dillasyx]

yeah but i will have to change every single playerid in the database to the new steam id

[dillasyx]

okay it's updated now

[noxsicarius]

Make sure to change the ping requirement too. Not sure what my ping will be.

[noxsicarius]

Do you still get new players on the server?

[dillasyx]

im on the server now and it's an friends only server at the moment, because i'm too lazy to add battleeye filters

[dillasyx]

my game crashed while on the ammo box

[dillasyx]

can't find the server anymore servercrash?

[noxsicarius]

No big deal. testing is relatively done for now. I found the error with anti-theft though. I used isNil for an object. Server may have DC due to TWC being a terrible company. Couldn't game all day yesterday.

[dillasyx]

okay :) good luck with fixing the bugs

[noxsicarius]

Already fixed a few :P

[dillasyx]

nice :D

[noxsicarius]

Any suggestions for the flying thing you talked about?
