Slmod- multiplayer server mod for new mission logic functionality

[chromium]

nothing here, It seems to work as expected but I really don't use too many functions here.

2 Questions

 

1. Is it possible to use SLMOD to output a file and then use that file to export data to a website.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read.

 

I'm also interested in this..

[xcom]

It is possible with and without.

 

First, with SLMOD you can export stats from missions into files, it's in the config file options.

You can then use those files to build a DB and display stuff from there using PHP.

 

Now, you can achieve this without SLMOD as well, I've written a small guide-http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=124715

 

Good luck.

[runny]

Thank you!

Howdy everyone. 1.2.9 is upon us and I have an update for slmod. Speed is still gone so I've just done some minor maintenance fixes. The F-86 update caught me by surprise a day early, so I may have been hasty in packaging the update. If there are any issues let me know.

 

Fixed a minor bug due to a change in the scripting engine.

Added gun stats support for F-86, FW-190, and Mig-21.

Added support for witchcraft, *see spoiler.

 

 

 

Ok, so this isn't entirely tested, actually its not tested at all. The witchcraft debug mod requires you to edit missionScripting.lua. Because slmod is installed into your savedgames DCS folder and it contains its own missionScripting.lua called 'slmodMissionScripting.lua' the slmod version takes precedence over whatever you have changed on your own. I have simply added the needed witchcraft modifications to the slmodMissionScripting file, but left them commented out. If you want to enable witchcraft you will have to remove the comment marks on the appropriate lines. Again this isn't tested.

Oh oh, now I totally buggered up my SLMOD, how do I apply this update Grimes?

[Blooze]

Yes, me too. I installed the new version and got errors on server computer that crashed the server. I uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version and although the server PC seems to be working again my client PC gets connection interrupted when I try to join any mission in the MP menu.

[Grimes]

Whoops, forgot to change a config file when I made a new folder name... I've updated the earlier post and it should be good to go.

 

Or if you feed adventurous you can edit the slmodconfig.lua so that line 93 simple reads: slmod.version = '7_2'

After doing a complete reinstall of DCS World I am a little nervous about trying this again. When you referred to "Fixed a minor bug due to a change in the scripting engine" Can you be more specific? The only thing I am concerned about is full functionality with existing MP missions. Is there any reason to install the new version for that?

[Grimes]

I changed this

 

for index, data in pairs(Unit.getAmmo(event.initiator)) do

 

into this

 

for index, data in pairs(Unit.getByName(eventCopy.initiator):getAmmo()) do

 

They both are supposed to do the same thing, but the former wasn't working for some reason. It has to do with the gun stats collection, which is also related to me adding the stats for the Mig-21, F-86, and Fw-190.

 

 

Its not likely something that will impact existing missions from functioning. It really depends on how those missions may have coded stuff.

Can anyone help with an SLMod error message please?

When the first player joins the server, it crashes with..

Mission Script Error

[string "slmod.sendData()":1: attempt to index global 'slmod' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

[C]:

[string "slmod.sendData()":1: in main chunk

 

I have DCS world 1.2.9 and SLMod 7.2.63

I have tried other versions of DCS World and earlier versions of SLMod with the same result.

 

Thanks

Try going to your program files/Eagle Dynamics folder, right click, properties,security and giving yourself permissions. Even if you have already done that before, try it again.

[xcom]

Have you installed it correctly?

It seems that it is trying to get to to the SLMOD functions and can't find them.

 

Check missionscripting.lua.

[Grimes]

When did you download it? Because I updated the slmodv7_2_63.rar file from this thread several hours after it was initially posted: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2128411&postcount=681

 

Check the slmodconfig.lua file to make sure line 93 simple reads: slmod.version = '7_2'

instead of slmod.version = '7_2_63'

Thanks All for your help.

I was running from a user account which had insufficient permissions.

Elevating to Administrator solved the problem.

Hello ladies and gents!

 

I have a quick question, would it be easy for me, as a person who has messed with lua very limited, just switched some weapons onto other aircraft ;), to create a lua script with a command like "-admin say stop fighting or a ban for both of you!" to make that text into a text box like a trigger function on the mission editor at the top right of the screen? Or, with the default settings of Slmod, at the top right when you type -admin. You get the gist... And if it's easy enough, can you post the command here? I'll try to do my best and experiment with it, but until then, I'm kind of desperate :). Thanks!

 

EDIT:

I'll pay a **** bucks just to have this command, and to have it private, just for my server :).

 

EDIT #2:

 

local ToggleSayVars = {}

ToggleSayVars.menu = SlmodAdminMenu

ToggleSayVars.description = 'Say in chat "-admin say" to tell everybody on the server something.'

ToggleSayVars.active = true

ToggleSayVars.options = {display_mode = 'chat', display_time = 5, privacy = {access = true, show = true}}

ToggleSayVars.selCmds = {

[1] = {

[1] = {

type = 'word',

text = '-admin',

required = true

},

[2] = {

type = 'word',

text = 'say',

required = true

},

[3] = {

type = 'word',

text = 'admintext',

required = true

}.

}

}

 

local AdminName

if client_id == 1 then

AdminName = net.get_name(1)

elseif slmod.clients[client_id] and slmod.clients[client_id].ucid and Admins[slmod.clients[client_id].ucid] then

AdminName = Admins[slmod.clients[client_id].ucid]

else

AdminName = '!UNKNOWN ADMIN!' -- should NEVER get to this.

end

 

if net.is_paused() then

net.resume()

slmod.scheduleFunctionByRt(slmod.basicChat, {'Slmod: admin "' .. AdminName .. '" said "'admintext'"'}, net.get_real_time() + 0.1) -- scheduled so that reply from Slmod appears after your chat message.

end

 

AdminItems[#AdminItems + 1] = SlmodMenuItem.create(ToggleSayVars) -- add the item into the items table.

 

This is in the adminmenu file.

What do I need to change here so that it works?...

Is this making the server work harder? adding stutters ?

Any performance impact should be negligible.
