News W. 10

Hey!

We have come across a problem that doesnt seem to have been all that exploited.

As I always believe in peoples good judgement before proven wrong I always stay true and tell the truth.

On our server we have a safe zone script that rely on - If in a city (!Canbuild) is set to false. Which in itself is not a probem. That is default code in Epoch. Which basically means you cant build inside a city. Presumably means you cant buld in a safe city.

Now. So far so good. Later on we added 'Deploy bike' which in itself is not a problem. But, here comes the tricky part. - Because !Canbuild is set to false, you cant deploy a bike in a safe zone. Because you cant build in a safe zone. And deploying a bike is, according to Epoch code, considered building. So in all safe zones you couldnt build your bike. You had to move outside the safe zone to build your bike, but then all sudden, you are voulnerable to enemy fire because people would take advantage of this. Thats why I set !Canbuild = true;. Which basically meant that you  can build within safe zones. So now you can actually deploy you bike inside the safe zone.

But, since !Canbuild is set to true our safe zone doesnt have !Canbuild to rely on. So the safe zone script doesnt necessarily know that you have a vehicle in safe zone and thus allow you to fire it. It also allow you to go through other peoples backpack. Which is something that is really important for the script to prevent.

So what is the solution?

A new safe zone script? Turn !Canbuild to false again which prevents you to deploy bike in safe zone?

Well, none och which is really that prefered.

I will have an update to this in the coming days.

In the mean time. I appologise that some of you have had  a problem to connect to the server during thursday night after 20.00 restart till after the 24.00 restart. We added the Gladiator Arena script which I called in client side init.sqf wrongly. That error is now solwed and yoy should be able to join.

More updates in the coming days!
