multiplayer refactor notes

client and server prefix

One can limit the Extended Event Handlers to just clients or just servers by placing it in a server*** or client*** entry.

• Events with the client prefix will be executed on every machine, except on dedicated servers. (!isDedicated)
• Events with the server prefix will be executed on only the server machine. (isServer)

clientInit = "diag_log 'You are a client'";
serverInit = "diag_log 'You are a server'";

Note about remote execution, this provides a hint about what functions need to be on the server.

The sling actions appear when looking at a vehicle, but do nothing when I select them. How do I fix that?

Most likely your server is setup with a white list for remote executions. In order to fix this, you need to modify your mission's description.ext file, adding the following CfgRemoteExec rules. If using InfiStar you should edit your cfgremoteexec.hpp instead of the description.ext file. See wiki/Arma_3_Remote_Execution for more details on CfgRemoteExec.

/*
Allowed targets:
  0 - can target all machines (default)
  1 - can only target clients, execution on the server is denied
  2 - can only target the server, execution on clients is denied
  Any other value will be treated as 0.

better?

Yep. Don't see anything wrong

Dedmen (ง •̀_•́)ง — 10/15/2018 7:06 AM
If it's just one line of code you could also place it directly in the config

Another showing a serverInit line

class CfgPatches {
  class FEZOPS {
    units[] = {};
    weapons[] = {};
    requiredVersion = 1.83;
    requiredAddons[] = {
      "ace_medical"
      ,"cba_common"
      ,"ace_common"
      
    };
    author[] = {"Fetzen"};
    authorUrl = "";
    version = "1.0";
    versionStr = "1.0";
    license = "https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike";
  };
};


class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers {
  class FEZOPS {
    serverinit = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'FEZOPS\Fezops_Init.sqf'";
  };
};

list of things to change

Essential

• ✓ refactor functions into client and server scripts using the CBA extended event handlers. Mod will need to be plugged in to both the server and the clients, but this should be cleaner for network activity and eliminate that odd caching glitch
• ✓ Apply the multiple ropes fix
• ✓ Add the CBA keybindings to the client context

Nice to have

• Add some debug hint output for weight limits and target weight
• Add some information about the rope length
