initserver.sqf uses a different format

[BetterDeadThanZed 1006]

So it seems that the initserver.sqf uses a different format than 0.9.61 and as a result, my custom trader items aren't showing.

0.9.6.1:

["Land_PortableLight_double_F",[11139,9085.79,0],199.091,0,0,false]

0.9.8:

["Exile_Sign_Locker",[2984.21,18173.6,1.35244],[[0.999929,0.0118953,0],[0,0,1]],[false,false]]

How can I take the projects that I made (using m3editor 0.18) so they work in 0.9.8?

I'd like to know that as well without having to redo everything.

 

I do have mine working with just my old code.

My objects don't even show up and I have this error in my log:

19:32:56 Error in expression <object setPosASL (_x select 1);
_object setVectorDirAndUp (_x select 2);
_object>
19:32:56   Error position: <setVectorDirAndUp (_x select 2);
_object>
19:32:56   Error setvectordirandup: Type Number, expected Array
19:32:56 File mpmissions\__cur_mp.Esseker\initServer.sqf, line 287

I thought that was due to the different format but maybe it's something else.

Just use your original file. Don't try and change anything at all in it. It's because of this:

Spoiler

{
    private ["_object"];
 
    _object = (_x select 0) createVehicle [0,0,0];
    _object setDir (_x select 2);
    _object setPosATL (_x select 1);
    _object allowDamage false;
    _object enableSimulationGlobal false; //
}
forEach _objects;

That's mine with m3editor. Works fine.

Thank you. That worked just fine!

Hey,

I opened the original file in Eden M3 and there is still nothing showing up. What is the solution for this?

Turns out they changed a couple of the commands in initServer.sqf

My guess is that it's a set up for the future Tanoa Traders config?

I use:

private _objects =
[
	["Exile_Locker", [6824.5,7289.5,2.66],315,0,0,false]
];
{
	private _object = (_x select 0) createVehicle [0,0,0];
	_object setDir (_x select 2);
	_object setPosASL (_x select 1);
	_object allowDamage false;
	_object enableSimulationGlobal false;
} forEach _objects;

I basicly had to change setVectorDirAndUp to setDir as well as change the "allowDamage" and "enableSimulationGlobal" lines to be able to use my old coordinates/config.

Check here for info on the new format using setVectorDirAndUp if you want to start working on updating your coordinates/configs to the new format:  https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVectorDirAndUp

 

In short, just roll back the "private _object" code at the bottom to the 9.61 version and you're good.

Nah, they just used the Eden editor to create the traders. The old format was using m3Editor.

Nice!  Level up!
