Stupid Question

[z80cpu 37]

It has been so long, I can not remember if there is a setting or where in the Exile files I could modify it, but I am seeking where the 'plant time' for bombs is located so that I could adjust those values.

 

I have searched several time thru the server config as well as the mission config and found nothing.  Google turns up nothing.  😞

 

Could someone be as so kind as to show me how big a dummy I am?

 

Thanks!

Also, I forgot about these two things.  Years ago, there was 2 add-ons that were pretty kool.  I can not think of their names nor even where to get them.

 

#1 - Sort Trader Items - Once you pulled up the trader's 'shopping list', you could sort by alphabetical order.  It was pretty kool.

 

#2 - This add-on would show you the price of the item in trader when you went to pick it up.  This would prevent a player from picking up garbage that was worthless.

 

Bonus - Is there an add-on that would allow a player to search all traders to find which one has that item a player is looking for?  it could be likened to the search you find in InfiSTAR.

 

Thanks again!

 

🙂

Create an override for ExileClient_action_execute and change the line with _actionConfig and add the line with _missionConfig

_missionConfig = missionConfigFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName;
_actionConfig = if (isClass _missionConfig) then {_missionConfig} else {configFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName};

Hello @El' Rabito - Never seen it done this way, though I guess it could!  😉

 

I THOUGHT there was a 'straight out' variable I could set, for example:  'SafeHackTime = 10'.  Like I said, it has been a long time and as far as I know, maybe in the very early versions of Exile, was this present...I do not remember...  😉

 

Thank you for this as well as your time!  I shall give it a whirl!

 

 

🙂

 

PS - Just curious, where did find out about such stuff?  I dug thru some of the code and as I am 'lower medium'  scripter, I could not see anything.  For I was going to 'hard code' a value in once I found the spot.

 

[El' Rabito 164]

Edit i forgot something 😅

[chernaruski 338]

z80cpu, you can find a lot of "hidden" hardcoded configurations in ExileMod\addons\exile_client\config  file.
You can always overwrite it with your own custom one, via addon or like Rabito did via missionConfig variables. It depends on the hierarchy of how things load and what can or can't be overwritten.
In this case, there is no need for side-addon. CfgExileDelayedActions class can be overwritten via Description.ext. Instead of calling for classname from addon config (exilemod), it will call it from your mission.  @El' Rabito correct me if I'm wrong here.

PS: Next time, try giving topics a more informative name & less self judgemental 😉 Cheers

[z80cpu 37]

@chernaruski - Thank you and worry not about 'being judgemental'.  Did you lie?  No, so why should I object to the truth?  I should not and nor do I!  🙂

 

This config file does not exist, at least not by what you're calling it nor its location.  Unless you're referring to the Config.BIN.  Today, I did 'extract' that and it does have a load of stuff in it (900k+).  I will examine it later.  Please et me know if this is the file you're talking about.  🙂

 

@El' Rabito - Thank you for the updated info.  I have inserted it into the overwrite file.

 

Again, thank you to both of you for your input!

 

🙂

 

[z80cpu 37]

@El' Rabito - Well, I put in that addition, now I tried to 'steal a flag' and it does nothing.  I get the action menu listing, you can select it, you can not 'activate it'.

 

So, this is what I have:

 

I have the delayed action HPP in my mission root.

 

At the very bottom of my config.cpp file, last line is the #include.  It is outside of all brackets.

 

In my config file, I have the overwrite:  ExileClient_action_execute = "overwrites\DelayedActions\ExileClient_action_execute.Sqf";.

 

And in that file I have:

Line 18 and 24 have your 'updated' instructions.

 

I changed nothing in your HPP file and only the 2 items you mentioned in the update.

 

Now, at least with the 'steal flag', you can not activate it.  I am going to assume this is the same with the other 'exile actions' too.

 

 

[z80cpu 37]

@El' Rabito - Ignore my last post.  I left it for others so they do not make the same mistake as I did.

 

After looking at that SQF code and your lines, I saw my mistake.  I was 'stepping on' the variable that was being replaced, thus the 'no action'.

 

So for others, this is the original line in ExileClient_action_execute.Sqf

 

Line 20:

_actionConfig = configFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName;

 

 

Now the copy in your OverWrite folder becomes:

 

// Line Below Added For Delayed Actions With Org Rem'ed Out
//_actionConfig = configFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName;
_missionConfig = missionConfigFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName;
_actionConfig = if (isClass _missionConfig) then {_missionConfig} else {configFile >> "CfgExileDelayedActions" >> _actionName};

 

 

Doing corrected the error I was having.  Of course you had your listed this way, to ME, it was not clear where the 'mission' line should go.  Hopefully, what I wrote above will make it crystal clear to all.  🙂

 

 

 

Thanks again!

 

🙂

yeah, that's the file. it's binarized (therefore .bin), but if you unbin it with arma tools or whatever its just a text file .cpp

Thank you @chernaruski - The day I read your post, I 'took it apart' and saw all the stuff in there...

 

Thanks again!
