Try placing the dlls or the addin folder in your arma2 root folder (or the beta folder)

That has gotten me further, however now I get this in rpt file

And this in the ArmA2NET.log

--Update--

Fixed by inserting NLog.dll file (Forgot to do so earlier),

Now testing with Databases.txt file in the ArmA2MySQL folder in AppData

--Update #2--

Problem solved, thank you Tupolov.

Can someone tell me why this is returning "[any]"?:

_result = call compile ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "EDDayOfWeek [getDay]");
diag_log _result;

plugin:

using Arma2Net.AddInProxy;
using System;

namespace EDDayOfWeekPlugin
{
   [AddIn("EDDayOfWeek")]
   public class EDDayOfWeek : AddIn
   {
       public string getDay()
       {
           DateTime saveNow = DateTime.Now;
           DateTime dt;
           dt = DateTime.SpecifyKind(saveNow, DateTimeKind.Local);
           String dtDay = dt.DayOfWeek.ToString("D");
           return dtDay;
       }
       public override string Invoke(string args, int maxResultSize) 
       { 
           return string.Concat(args);
       }
   }
}

I don't wish to pass any arguments, so if I could avoid the invoke stuff as much as possible, that's what I'm aiming for.

Edited August 15, 2013 by eagledude4

Scott_NZ · May 11, 2011

Try

public override string Invoke(string args, int maxResultSize) 
{ 
   return DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString("D");
}

and

"Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "EDDayOfWeek"

eagledude4 · June 25, 2012

Thanks for getting back to me. Is it necessary to use call compile?

I'm seeing "4" being returned.

Edited August 15, 2013 by eagledude4

Scott_NZ · May 11, 2011

If you want to compile/execute the string returned from Arma2NET as SQF code then yes. If you are just doing simple string operations, then usually not.

linuxmaster9 · March 1, 2013

Would ArmA2NET work with the Linux Server? How about using MariaDB instead of MySQL.

Scott_NZ · May 11, 2011

Not at the moment since last I checked the callExtension sqf command only works on Windows servers.

linuxmaster9 · March 1, 2013

Not at the moment since last I checked the callExtension sqf command only works on Windows servers.

Can I use MariaDB on Windows instead of MySQL? Since MariaDB is a community fork of MySQL. Or can I Normalize the Database? I would love to normalize to 3NF if possible to improve performance.

Edited August 25, 2013 by LinuxMaster9

Scott_NZ · May 11, 2011

You can use whatever database system you want. Arma2NET itself doesn't really have a bearing on this database stuff. Most of the actual work is left to the external plugins.

Hi, I'm trying to get Arma2NET working in ARMA 3 0.77.109909

We have it set up and Arma2NET explorer is working fine with for example the DateTime plugin. It posts in the log and returns in the explorer as expected.

However when running a command like:

hint ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "DateTime ['now', 'HH:mm:ss dd/MM/yyyy']")

no hint appears in game. The log file reads

The command is clearly issued from ARMA 3 but for some reason although the hint never appears. Am I missing something here? There is an exception being thrown to do with the sql plugin so that can't be the issue. I don't know what the default domain exception is though. Could that be something to do with it?

Thanks for any help!

Did you add the @arma2net mod to your startup of Arma3?

000dom000 · September 9, 2013

Did you add the @arma2net mod to your startup of Arma3?

Yep. It is definitely there. You can see in the log that the DateTime command is being called by ARMA 3 so Arma2NET has to be running.

OK, I got as far as getting rid of the exceptions in the log by reinstalling version 2.3 but the hint is still not displaying. Here is the log now:

I am an absolute noob when it comes to Arma scripting, so I apologize for my poor or understanding of this subject. I consider myself a comfortable C# programmer.

I am attempting to use this plugin while I learn about Arma scripting. I have setup the following to test the functionality (make sure I have the concept down).

I cant get this plugin to work at all, so obviously I am doing something wrong. I have worked my way through the errors in the Arma2NET log, and now I have a clean log.

I am attempting to run the DateTime plugin on my DayZ Epoch server. I have init.sqf calling a SQF file that contains;

("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "Load");

I then have a menu that calls this;

_dateTime = call compile ("Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "DateTime ['now', objNull]");
hint format ["The current system date and time is %1. TEST TEST TEST", _dateTime];

The hint that I see is;

"The current system date and time is <null>. TEST TEST TEST"

(I took this sample from the DateTimePluginDemo.Takistan.zip sample)

Obviously its missing the date, and I get <null> returned. Using this same method returns the desired string when I use Arma2NetExplorer.exe.

I am running;

Server 2008 R2

.net 4.5

Arma2 Version 1.62.103718

Arma2NET 2.3.0.0

Command;

"Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;@Arma2NET;"

Can someone point out what I have done wrong?

Arma2NET explorer is another nice way to test the plugin without having to load Arma. I would test with that first. You should also check the log files for @Arma2NET which you can find here: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Arma2NET

I run the explorer and execute "DateTime ['now', objNull]", I receive the desired result. My logs are clean without any errors as noted above.

(I assume this post was in response to my post. If not, my bad.)

If you review my code above, am I doing everything correctly?

firefly2442 · August 9, 2002

I think you're very close. What if you remove the call compile portion?

_dateTime = "Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "DateTime ['now', objNull]"

The other possibility is it's getting confused evaluating the objNull? Maybe it's evaluating that as a straight string?

Thanks for helping!

I tried that, it returns;

"The current system date and time is . TEST TEST TEST" (no "null")

I also tried this (notice I removed the parentheses);

_dateTime = "Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "DateTime['now', objNull]";
_dateTimeCompiled = call compile _dateTime;
hint format ["The current system date and time is %1. TEST TEST TEST", _dateTimeCompiled];

I get;

"The current system date and time is <null>. TEST TEST TEST"

firefly2442 · August 9, 2002

What if you leave off the objNull in the call?

I give it a shot when I get home tonight.

I want to say "at one point" I tried that. I've tried so many combinations, I cant remember what I've done anymore.

I do know, both ways work in the Arma2Net Explorer.

Thanks again for your help.

linuxx · September 22, 2013

That gives me;

"The current system date and time is any. TEST TEST TEST" (it added any)

I then though, perhaps its an array, so I tried;

_dateTime = "Arma2Net.Unmanaged" callExtension "DateTime ['now',]";
_dateTimeCompiled = call compile _dateTime;
hint format ["The current system date and time is %1. TEST TEST TEST", _dateTimeCompiled select 0];

And got the same result. I'm wondering if I am missing a pre-req, I think I have all of the runtimes.. Can you verify with my screenshot?

I think I know what my issue is.

I have this plugin loaded on a server. I have the above code being called from a menu item initialized from the servers init.sqf file. I "think" this code is being executed from the client.

I now need to review BIS_MPF_remoteExecutionServer and http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_framework

Sorry for wasting your time.

firefly2442 · August 9, 2002

Ahh. Yeah, client VS. serverside is kinda tricky to debug in Arma. There are SQF methods that you can use to check this (e.g.: isServer).
