Altis Life RPG

Recommended Posts

I have two problems.

Players have the ability to destroy items without a trace, for example, if someone is being chased by officers they can destroy any and all drugs that they have on them just by clicking the 'drop' button. When being searched by an officer, no drugs appear.

and

Searching backpacks does not seem to work. Inventory always shows up empty. In addition to this, searching players and vehicles always show up empty as well.

Is there a fix for:

Restrained people being able to get out/switch seats in cars which subsequently leads to them driving off.

The vehicle garage seems to bug out when multiple vehicles of the same type, possibly even the same colour are stored. It can not get any vehicles and requires that the majority are deleted. Havent been able to nail down the exact cause of this yet.

Escorting people is slightly bugged, I'm assuming its done on a target to give you the scroll menu but escorting people puts your aim slightly off, so sometimes you cannot get the stop escorting option without help from someone else or without running and turning.

Key chains do not save over relogs, so if you have a vehicle out and you relog.. you cannot retrieve it at all and if its a heli you cannot lockpick it.

Tonic, any ideas here bud on how to fix, these are some crippling issues and running a very busy server we could use the fixes.

There is definately a memory leak with either the server process or something in the mission is causing lag, we run a very powerful dedi and it requires 3 hour restarts for 70+ players. As far as I can see no errors in the logs but I'll have a more solid look at it tomorrow.

I have stopped working on this for quite some time so I don't know what you expect from me. As far as the 'memory leak'. It is. For each vehicle that gets blown up a particle effect of a blast crater is created and is never removed. All those particle effects add up on performance after so many not to mention other problems that plague ARMA 3 MP. Building something that is high performance for long periods of time is pretty much out the window for ARMA 3. Never had these problems with ARMA 2 so it's all weyhdftwsdgnhjfcfgdsfgjnbxfdgbv at this point.

I've pretty much given up on ARMA 3 at this point for anything Co-op related, RPG and whatever else. The only thing that is slightly enjoyable is straight up PVP. Until BIS gets their ducks in a row I probably won't do anything with Altis Life, I've been dealing with the 'life' mission since the release of ALPHA so I am well done and tired of it.

Thats a bit disappointing to hear. We have our server set to a 3hour restart at the moment to deal with it, I'm guessing the craters have a classname that could be added to a cleanup script relatively easily by even myself, I guess I'd have to have a look.

Is there a quick fix for the restraining issue that you wouldnt mind sharing or another version that is stable that you stopped working on? :)

I may be forced to release a update for the upcoming 1.10 patch to fix misc issues / errors but there are two types of craters.. One is a physical model and the other is a particle effect so it doesn't have a particular classname other then under #particlesource. I only recently discovered the particle effect one when messing around with Particle effects myself and had around 250 of them created and was suffering performance issues.

Yeah immediately an error with this patch but seems to play fine if you just OK it. Will report back any other issues here buddy.

I think the restrain issue with not being able to release is the cursortarget being offset to the model.. so is that an attachto error when escorting that would be easy to fix?

The mods good as it is mate, it just needs a few tweaks and changes and itll be epic, unfortunately you are the only one with a public version of it, there are plenty of modified ones (despite your request to not mod it) but if this project stops it'll be quite difficult for anyone running your vanilla mod to carry on if no-one releases their version! So please do continue to carry it on, from what I can see you are basically there anyway and nothing major needs adding specifically

They could just ask Tonics permission to edit it for their server, or ask if they can take over the project to maintain the code, not sure where Tonic stands with this, but it never hurts to ask. I am sure people around the BIS forums would probably help you with any questions regarding scripting.

First off I'd like to say its a brilliant piece of work although I can understand why you'd grow tired. I couldn't help but notice there was a 3.1.0 Patch which was listed on one of your websites which happened to list that the lovely Random appearances of Hats was fixed. Is there any chance you'd be able to share with us what the cause or even the fix is for this. I've got a few theories but I thought I'd try my luck and see if you'd be able to help :) It is a shame you've stopped but nevertheless thanks for all your hard work!

So I updated my Life Server today, since there was a new download from Steam for Arma3. Now I get this error when people enter. The server is still playable

No Entry mp missions\ CUR_MP Stratis\description.ext\RespawnSelect\Dialog\Control\RandomSpawn button.Color Focused

Any fix? Or just leave it.

Thanks

Hi! I have trouble with the mission altis life by Tonic.

Server crashed with error

http://rghost.ru/51809159/image.png

It's Life_RscListBox not RscListBox.

And that's not by me. Most of the problems people have been reporting are from them editing the code or downloading the mission-side from another server.

As for all the other issues that are mission related I will fix them later tonight or when I get time. As I said in the original post I am not offering help for the SQL side or setting it up. I setup the server with MySQL in a straight-forward manner and didn't have issues when reading the documentation on Arma2NetMySQL

I have installed all of the required files to my server however, upon connecting and proceeding to the Role Assignment screen I get a Timeout timer and upon reaching 0 I am kicked from the server with "You have been kicked from the server BattlEye: Client not responding" is this a server-side issue or a client issue? I am lead to believe it is server-side as I am able to connect to other Altis Life servers just fine. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

the taser and the lethal weapons are looking exactly the same? so we never know which one we have right now?

are there any other weapons... like scoped rifles or something for cops? its extremely hard to get these rebells off of the hotel rooftops...

thats it for the moment... but i guess some more questions will come with the time ^^

You need to set it up yourself, look into the weapons config for the shops and adjust the donator code that is in that, its pretty simple :)

You set the coplevel for the player on your DB to what ever rank you like, normally 1-7

initCop.sqf goes in Core/

If you've created the file correctly it should work.

Hello,

Ok before I get to much into it I will let you know I have hired a a slotted server, I would have used my box at home for this but due to poor internet connecting lag would be massive.

So I have hired an Arma 3 server and downloaded the files, I have placed the at life server folder in the root directory, the (at)Altis_Life_RPG folder I have packed into a pbo and added it to the MPmissions folder, I then contacted the host and had a Database added and configured as per the instructions, however I dont think they have named it correctly, so this has been re-submited just in case, I then added the .sql file via navicat and followed the rest of the setup, the server seems to start as it should, however before you get to the lobby it freezes on the loading screen, I have checked the .RPT logs and see no error's. I have had a little to do with MySQL creating tables, editing data, general cleanups etc. however there is still much to learn, If anyone could lend a hand or even point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou.

P.S sorry about missing incomplete folder names, I kept getting flagged for so called links.

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone here can help me. I am trying to make it so that once a player is restrained, they are unable to enter any vehicles near to them and when they are put into a vehicle by a cop it doesn't allow them to Eject or Change seats.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks,

Boyhas.

Edit: I also want to make it so that the person restrained can still use VON (i've tried disableuserinput)

Hi, i need to add a civilian spawnpoint, i added :

class Item900
	{
		position[]={20084.033,100.186,6722.73};
		name="civ_spawn_5";
		type="Empty";
	};

In the mission.sqm

and added :

["civ_spawn_5","Poste Rebelle"]

in the fn_spawnpointcfg.sqf file

I changed :

{
ctrlShow[38514,false];
};

for

{
ctrlShow[38514,true];
};

in the fn_spawnmenu.sqf to enable to see de 5. spawn button

But when i select the last button, the map zoom on the left-bot corner and when i click "Spawn" i spawn to the little island and not to my rebel outpost.

Can every one help me ? :/

PS : I'm french, sorry for my bad english :o
