Enhanced Spawn Selection

Primary LanguageSQFOtherNOASSERTION

Provides extra spawn options for DayZ Epoch and vanilla DayZ Mod:

  • Choose air or ground spawn
  • Spawns and loadouts can be restricted by humanity and UID
  • Spawns within x meters of the player's body can be blocked
  • Optional spawn near plot pole or group
  • Optional spawn in back seat of a plane for HALO
  • Loadouts can be preset or random
  • Compatible with vanilla anti-teleport
  • Config formats are backwards compatible with V2 configs

Improvements over V2:

  • Minimization was removed, files were restructured for readability and code was optimized.
  • UID lists are now kept server side and never sent to clients.
  • Private classes, loadouts, spawns and bases are now kept server side. The player is only sent what they have access to.
  • Added support for dayz_onBack
  • Added localization and stringtable for others to submit translations
