custom spawn load out help

[XcaptharlockX 2]

I need a hand, I am currently trying to set up a group of 3 spawn load outs for my server

with the way things are set up, Roaming ai bandits are made to look like convicts and therefore wear the bright orange jumpsuit so players spawning with the jumpsuit could cause some issues.

 

I've read in the config.cpp that the jumpsuit cannot be changed but I know it has been done on almost every server I've played on in the past

 

my question is how and where would I set up this new loadout

and yes I know there are scripts to do this but I have not learned how to implement scripts just yet so I would like some kind of way to do it in a config or file.

 

thanks in advance for any help and dealing with my slow learning

You want to create an overwrite for ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest. You could do something like this:

Or if you are trying to set respect loadouts you can use this:

Or this:

Or the various other scripts that are out there that do the same thing.

[Brenner 114]

Where would be the proper place to place respect loadouts, in

ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest

or

ExileServer_object_player_createBambi.sqf?

(for some reason I could not get it to work in ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest, while in createBambi works just fine)

[XcaptharlockX 2]

thank you for your response

 

would it be possible to go into the steps for implementing this override?

would it be something like creating a new file with the override in it then adding #include "override.sqf" in the config.cpp

 

if this is incorrect could I trouble you for an explanation if you have time.

In your mission config.
class CfgExileCustomCode 
{
    ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest = "overwrites\ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest.sqf";
};

Just place the file location in the quotation marks.

I call my in ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest. I was just point to those for examples. If they don't work you can do something like this:

This is a shorten version.

I have used ExileServer_object_player_createBambi.sqf link below:

https://pastebin.com/TMC7Hwft

Inside that file you will see

Spoiler

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///// Respect based loadouts start here /////

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///// Respect based loadouts end here   /////

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

Between those two you can edit loadouts for each respect level (systemchat command is commented out because for some reason it does not work on my server, if anyone can help with that I would appreciate it)

Next:

Un-pbo your Exile.Mapname.pbo in mpmissions folder with pbo manager (or whatever you use for unpacking .pbo's).

You can create a separate folder inside extracted folder (or two), for example Custom\RespectLoadouts and put the file from the link above to that folder.

Than go back two folders to the folder where you have created Custom folder (or just enter extracted folder again) and open config.cpp with Notepad++ or whatever application you use for editing scripts and configs.(unless you have a separate CustomCode.cpp or hpp)

Once the config is opened find (Ctrl+F in Notepad++)

Spoiler

class CfgExileCustomCode
{
    /*
        You can overwrite every single file of our code without touching it.
        To do that, add the function name you want to overwrite plus the
        path to your custom file here. If you wonder how this works, have a
        look at our bootstrap/fn_preInit.sqf function.

        Simply add the following scheme here:

        <Function Name of Exile> = "<New File Name>";

        Example:

        ExileClient_util_fusRoDah = "myaddon\myfunction.sqf";
    */
};

Inside the brackets (but not inside /* and */) add

Spoiler

ExileServer_object_player_createBambi = "Custom\RespectLoadouts\ExileServer_object_player_createBambi.sqf"; 

So it looks like this (you can delete the instructions inside the /* and */ if you want):

Spoiler

class CfgExileCustomCode
{

    /*
        You can overwrite every single file of our code without touching it.
        To do that, add the function name you want to overwrite plus the
        path to your custom file here. If you wonder how this works, have a
        look at our bootstrap/fn_preInit.sqf function.

        Simply add the following scheme here:

        <Function Name of Exile> = "<New File Name>";

        Example:

        ExileClient_util_fusRoDah = "myaddon\myfunction.sqf";
    */

ExileServer_object_player_createBambi = "Custom\RespectLoadouts\ExileServer_object_player_createBambi.sqf";
};

Or if you used some other location in Exile.Yourmission folder, make sure you correct the path to file in the CfgExileCustomCode.

Save file and repack the Exile.Yourmap folder to Exile.Yourmap.pbo and you are good to go.

P.S. I like to doubleclick the newly created .pbo (just to open it without extracting) and check if the $PREFFIX$ is inside, if it is not I copy it manually (CTRL+C) from the extracted folder, and paste it in opened .pbo with Ctrl+V.

@Beowulfv will try to integrate this into ExileServer_object_player_network_createPlayerRequest  again, tried it once, for some reason it did not work (there also is a high possibility I messed up something in the process, was really late when I did it XD)

@Brenner I know there are a few ways to do it as player creation calls to a few different SQF files. I also know my method works as I still use it to this day. But like I said I know there is more than one way of doing things which is why I linked a few other examples. Use what works for you, and don't worry about the rest is usually my approach to everything.
