Hi!
Im new with arma2, after playing DayZ i want to make a mod to change some things i want.
During my self trainning on the arma engine i stopped in two questions/problems/doubts
DOUBT #1
After doing a litle test i can't figure out why my test mod is not loading, i do this:
1. in root game folder create a folder called MyMod
2. in my desktop created a folder called MyMod, inside i create a file called MyMod.sqf with this content:
diag_log ("This must be showed in the log");
and create another file called config.cpp with this content:
class CfgPatches {
class MyMod{
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.1;
requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};
3. I use BinBPO to generate the .pbo using as source the desktop folder and destination <ROOT_GAME>\MyMod\Addons
4. after generate the pbo i check the log and there isn't no errors at all
5. i include -mod=@Dayz;MyMod in the dedicated server startup
6. start the server
7. i check the RPT file related with the server but i don't see the "This must be showed in the log" string. So i suppose that the mod isn't loading.
I use this guide to guide me in the process:

What can be the reason to not working/load the mod?
DOUBT #2
One of my goals is to make a live stats for my players, so i need to catch the event of onuserconnect, i tried to execute a sqf file from server.cfg but i have not success, i tried this combinations:
//onUserConnected = "[this] execVM MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"; //
//onUserConnected = "[this] execVM ""MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"";"; //
//onUserConnected = "[this] execVM ""MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"""; //
//onUserConnected = "0 = [this] execVM ""MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"""; //
//onUserConnected = "0 = [this] execVM ""MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"""; //
//onUserConnected = "0 = [this] execVM ""MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf"";"; //
//onUserConnected = "diag_log(""******KK KILLINGFLOOR******"");"; //
//onUserConnected = "MyModPlayerID = _this select 0; diag_log(""******KK KILLINGFLOOR******"");"; //
//onUserConnected = "_MyModPlayerID = _this select 0; diag_log text ""******KK KILLINGFLOOR******"";"; //
//onUserConnected = "_MyModPlayerID = _this select 0; diag_log (""KK: "" + str(_MyModPlayerID));"; //
//onUserConnected = "_MyModPlayerID = _this select 0; _MyModPlayerID globalChat _MyModPlayerID"; //
//onUserConnected = "server globalChat _this select 0"; //
//onUserConnected = "[_this select 0] exec 'MyModsqf\MyMod.sqf'"; //
//onUserConnected = ""; //
So my question in the Second doubt is: It`s posible to execute a sqf from server.cfg for the event "onuserconnect"?
After tring a lot of combinations and failed too i start reading about event handlers here:
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers
But there isnt onuserconnect, so, How can i catch that event from a Mod?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
