LSlootLists.sqf

Found a double entry for the spear gun making it show up more than the rest of the weapons and deleted that entry.

Simplified the backpacks entries to give each type the same chance to spawn.

Removed vests from research, and industrial, military has some meaningful stat vests ranging from slightly helpful to the best choices.  And Civilian has police vest and a regular vest.

Added a Toolkit to industrial buildings for repairs on vehicles (unsure this works but have seen it in Epoch servers working).  It has unlimited usage but only repairs up to orange level so you can continue to operate the vehicle but still requires a multi-gun or vehicle repair kit to complete the repairs.



Lootspawner.sqf

Modified the % chance that items will spawn in each class of building based on 4 sessions of 4 hour play throughout Pyrgos and military bases and factory.


New mod from Vampire for Epoch called VEMF

This mod sends over the radio a broadcast that a random town (with no players in it) has been taken over by NPC bandits.  Once the bandits are killed loot then drops.

First off description.ext must be modified to turn the system channel online as it was disabled.




init.sqf

This file has been modified to load the VEMF town capture execution.



initServer.sqf and VEMFConfig.sqf

Are added at the same level as the init.sqf for the VEMF town capture mod



And finally for our testing pleasure the mission Epoch.Altis.pbo file.  This includes all changes from previous e-mails as well as the new VEMF town capture system.

This pbo contains the VEMF folder will all required VEMF scripts inside it as well as our current script set from the live server as of today at 6AM CST.

This mod lets the user see what player they are looking at when they target them.  My group found we could identify a group member but could not figure out who was who.  And even with group tags up the names seem to help them not get confused as to who was on their team.


Modify the init.sqf adding the following line:

[] execVM "scripts\tags.sqf";


in the scripts folder of the epoch.Altis.pbo add the attached file:
tags.sqf

I also included a post VEMF PBO with the TAGS.SQF file and edited init.sqf for testing purposes.

There is currently no Epoch server with Raptors.  If we ever get our scripts settled in check this addon out that would require the user to not only have EPOCH but also the Jurassic addon as well.

I'm not entirely sure it's ready but a research facility that has lost control of a DNA dinosaur experiment would be pretty damned cool.

I am thinking long term watch the Jurassic Mod's progress possibly try out a AI raptor setup on test and see if it functions.  To be the only EPOCH server with Raptors could bring in the number of people we want to make the server stand out from the rest.

The downside would be the users would have to get another mod to get onto the server.  But as small as it is and as used to doing that type of thing the users would have to be to actually get to a EPOCH server maybe it's a very small downside in this respect.

I also considered genre breaking dinosaurs for those that are hard core this is military with humans.  But then I thought hell we already have exploding zombies and some kind of ghost/spectre of death cloak guy with seemingly magic powers.  That's where I think the background of a military research facility dna dino research gone wrong comes into play.  And it looks like they are working on a raptor like cage building to add into the world.
