terox 316 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) zeu_A3ServerBriefingFor Server Admins onlyThis is a server-side addon that remotely injects client-side viewable content into your server's mission briefingsKey features It creates A briefing Subject entry (Customiseable title) A briefing Diary entry (Customiseable content) It does not create any addon dependancies in the mission The clients do not need any addons, nor do they have to do anything for it to work for them It is easily customised by the server admin without unpacking the addon We use this to automatically add our teamspeak details, web address and server rules etc to the mission briefings without having to edit the missions.RequirementsCBA (Extended eventhandlers) installed on the serverTo edit the content stop the server Edit the following file userconfig\zeu\zeu_A3serverBriefing.hpp in your root ArmA3 install start the server Done LINKSScreenshot with customised entry for zeus community (350 kB)Download it here v1.0This addon is purely server-side, therefore keys and bisigns are not needed.Changelogv1.0 Alpha (release version)F.A.Q(None as yet) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT The 1.52 ArmA patch has broken this addon, due to the automatic implementation of NoFilepatching NoFilepatching is a security measure to stop clients from running scripts not in a pbo folder. This is not supposed to effect the server files but it does. This addon execvm's a script inside the server's userconfig folder which the implementation of NoFilepatching will now disallow. However, there is an easy workaround for this, you need to do 2 things....... To fix this issue serverside, you need to do 2 things server commandline parameter: -filepatching servercfg entry: allowedFilePatching = 1; (This is the file where you set the server admin password etc) Now your automatic briefing injector addon is back in business, enjoy Edited September 30, 2015 by terox 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terox 316 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Is it possible to make a script ver of this ? for adding directly to a mission ? if that's the intention then yes, I can do that but it is kinda pointless just unpack it. It isn't a complicated script Just a pointer, by putting this addon in a -mod folder and / or CBA, it will create a yellow icon colour on the gamespy browser. This may confuse some players, so may reduce the number of new players connecting. Although it is a bit of a bodge and not best practice, an easy remedy for this is to add the addons directly to the BIS addon folder then you will be nice and green Edited March 14, 2013 by Terox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gossamersolid 155 Posted March 14, 2013 Is it possible to make a script ver of this ? That is so counter productive. If you want to script it into your mission, add the briefing as you would normally in any mission? The point of this addon is so that you can inject this info into ANY mission without modifying the PBO of the mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Variable 322 Posted March 14, 2013 It is possible in Arma2. Mike made something similar for the CiA Arma 2 coop server. Too bad he's banned from this forum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farooqaaa 2 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Disregard that. It's working now. ------------------------ Does this work for dedicated servers? I have done everything but my players still not see it. Am I missing something? I have made a @zeu folder inside Arma 3 root and there's an "addons" folder inside it where I have put the .pbo file. I have added "-mod=@CBA_A3;@zeu" to the launch parameters too but still no luck. Edited March 22, 2013 by farooqaaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4 40 Posted April 8, 2016 So I've implemented this on my personal dedicated server. I've followed your directions in the /Docs/ folder as well as your above post afaik. The terminal tells me that you have a scripting error in the pbo's init.sqf file, on line 19. It says that the variable "_handle" is undefined. The terminal log just has an endless loop, repeating each second, of this scripting error. edit-- for disclosure, and i hope this isn't the reason why it's happening: i made everything lower-case in the userconfig and in the mod's addons folder because this is a linux server and it hates things that aren't lowercase. edit^2-- i also am getting a script error in your serverskill mod's verification mission on Stratis to check that it's working properly. in the mission's init.sqf, the variable "zeu_serverskill" is undefined from line 138 thru line 209.

Sounds like a lower case issue with linux. Unpack the pbo, check the config file for any case sensitivity, especially with file pathing , lower case everything, also check the case sensitivity on the userconfig folder and you should be fine Having said that we run the a later version of the briefing addon on a linux build without any issues You can grab that from here, it's in the exact state we run it on the server, so you will need to edit the userconfig file. There are more sections to this later one such as a rules page and a special events page. All fully editable http://zeus-community.net/important/hosted/zserver1.zip I have also included the server ai skill addon we currently use, this is much more powerful than that older depricated addon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
