KeepDocs Mod v0.2

Author: Kisvakond at epochmod.com/forum/ Contact: [email protected]

A DayZ Epoch mod to keep players' HowTo documents otherwise consumed for crafting/upgrades. Use the DZE_KeepHowTos variable to control whether you like to lose your documents or not. DZE_KeepHowTos = true -> keep it DZE_KeepHowTos = false -> lose it (default Dayz Epoch feeling)

Usage: Do your crafting or vehicle upgrade as usual. The document used will remain in your inventory.

Installation NOTE: Use at you own risk! These instructions are for Epoch 1.0.5.1. For future version, please check the github for updates or contact me if something is out of date!

Step 1 Download the ZIP from the Github repo

Step 2 Form the ZIP, extract the 'addons' folder into (your Dayz Epoch Server folder)\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\MPMissions\(yourmisson) folder. Or just create the addons\KeepDocs folder and copy the fn_keepDoc.sqf file.

Step 3 If you already have a custom compiles.sqf, go to step 3c. If you don't have one, get it by extracting one from your dayz_code.pbo. a) Locate dayz_code.pbo at (your Steam folder)\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\(your Dayz folder e.g. @DayZ_Epoch1051)\addons\

b) Use you favourite PBO tool to open and extract dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf. Copy it to your mission folder, mentioned in Step 2.

c) With you PBO tool, copy the following files into the addons\KeepDocs folder in your mission folder:

* dayz_code\actions\player_craftItem.sqf
* dayz_code\compile\player_upgradeVehicle.sqf.

d) In your mission folder, open addons\KeepDocs\player_craftItem.sqf and search for the line:

_inputWeapons = getArray (configFile >> _baseClass >> _item >> "ItemActions" >> _crafting >> "inputweapons");

After this line, insert:

/* Keep the HowTo document on demand */
_selectedRecipeInput = [_selectedRecipeInput ] call fnc_keepDoc;

e) In your mission folder, open addons\KeepDocs\player_upgradeVehicle.sqf and look for this line:

_requirementsMagazine = _upgrade select 2;

After this line, insert:

/* Keep the HowTo document on demand */
_requirementsMagazine = [ _requirementsMagazine ] call fnc_keepDoc;

Step 4 a) In your copy of compiles.sqf in your mission folder, replace the line:

player_craftItem =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\actions\player_craftItem.sqf";

to

player_craftItem =			compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\KeepDocs\player_craftItem.sqf";

b) Then, replace this:

player_upgradeVehicle =		compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\player_upgradeVehicle.sqf";

to

player_upgradeVehicle =		compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\KeepDocs\player_upgradeVehicle.sqf";

c) before the line you have changed in step 4a, put this line:

fnc_keepDoc = 					compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\KeepDocs\fn_keepDoc.sqf"; /* Addon for custom craft and upgrade functions */

Step 5 a) In your init.sqf, locate the end of the variables. Look for

//Load in compiled functions

Before this line, copy

/* Set up to keep howto documents after using them. To set back default behaviour (lose documents), set it to false. */
if(isNil "DZE_KeepHowTos") then {
	DZE_KeepHowTos = true;
};

b) Skip this if you already have a working custom compiles.sqf based on the original one. In the mission's init.sqf (located in the root of your your MPMisson\yourmisson), locate this line:

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf"   

and replace to

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "compiles.sqf"; /* Compile Custom Functions */

That's all.

Hope you like it! :D
