ArmA2 has no "cheat engine". This mod also don't list Chernarus as a supported island.

Chances are it wouldn't work with DayZ anyway. DayZ is not ArmA2, you should check for addon forums on the DayZ forums for addons for DayZ. :)

Can't get the new version to work at all actually. Even after fixing the typo in config.cpp it still appears to do nothing in 1.62 Takistan.

Ahh i know that Dayz have some code that broke the lights or they just are turned off , i thought it would work , thanks anyway

@joao - chernarus doesn't have many enterable buildings with multiple building positions, so most won't light up. A few sheds and water towers etc might get a light though.

@kylania - are you using SP or MP? SP version works fine for me, I've used it for months.

The new MP mission from the updated dropbox. It gives a Warning Message: Script TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_108MP\init.sqf not found error. I unpbo'd the addon and found in config.cpp a reference to 108 instead of 1081 as in all the other stops. Fixed that, rePBO'd it, no more errors but nothing happened in game either.

I tested with Takistan and a single US Rifleman standing in the middle of Los Manara then I ran to the towns east of there. Time was 22:00 and it was dark. Normal street lamps were on everywhere.

Yeah there's something awry, both the SP and MP versions used to work perfectly, now only the SP. I've been looking into it and can't track it down immediately, so it might be something subtle. Please bear with me, and use SP in the mean time.

Did you modify config.cpp:

clientInit = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_108MP\init.sqf'";

as follows:

clientInit = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_108[color="#FF0000"]1[/color]MP\init.sqf'";

and also changed init.sqf

nul = [_hint] execVM "\TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_108MP\tpw_houselights.sqf";

as follows:

nul = [_hint] execVM "\TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_108[color="#FF0000"]1[/color]MP\tpw_houselights.sqf";

I did not check yet, but believe this should work.

Yup, I'd made both those changes.

The answer to the problem is here...PelleJones already provided the solution:

So besides the 2 errors reported above, the tpwhouselights.sqf in 1081mp version is still missing the required "_housedistance" variable.

To fix add around e.g. line 38:

// How close player must be to a light to see it at all
_housedistance = 250;

We did a nice mission yesterday with a bit tweaked TPW Houselights (changed light distance in script version) on Zargabad. It looks awesome! Please have a look :)
