• Map independent patrol missions. Reworked so they use map locations as waypoints and they only spawn one thread instead of three.
• Improved use of the mission data variable for modularity.
• Avoid traders replaced with avoid safezones that uses the built in DZE_SafeZonePosArray in init.sqf. @Twist

Installation Instructions

1. Click Clone or Download the green button on the right side of the Github page.

2. This mod is dependent on the Client Side Marker Manager. Download it here and install it according to the instructions.

3. Extract the downloaded folder to your desktop and open it

4. Go to your server pbo and unpack it.

5. Copy the WAI folder into the dayz_server folder.

6. Navigate to directory dayz_server\system\scheduler and replace sched_corpses.sqf with the one from the download.

7. Copy over file sched_wai.sqf to the same folder.

8. Open file sched_init.sqf.

   Find this line:

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers (PATH+"sched_safetyVehicle.sqf");

   Place this line directly below it:

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers (PATH+"sched_wai.sqf");

   Find this line:

   [ 300,	 	336,	sched_lootpiles_5m,         sched_lootpiles_5m_init ],

   Place this line directly below it:

   [ 90,		60,		sched_wai,					sched_wai_init ],

9. Navigate to the init folder and open server_functions.sqf

   Place this line at the very bottom of the file.

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\init.sqf";

10. Repack your server PBO.

Mission Folder

1. Go to your mission pbo and unpack it.

2. Open mission.sqm

   Find:

   "chernarus",

   And add the following line below it:

   "aif_arma1buildings",

3. This mod is dependent on the Epoch community stringtable. Download the stringtable here and place file stringTable.xml in the root of your mission folder.

Note: The announcements used in this mod are localized strings contained in the mod's dayz_code PBO. If you want to adjust the announcements, you need to create your own string table and overwrite the existing strings in the "WickedAI" section of stringtable.xml.

4. Repack your mission PBO.

Battleye

If you are going to use the AI caching feature, then you need to add this exception to the end of line 46 or the one that starts with 5 hideObject

!="this hideObject true"

Some of the missions use the MBG buildings and need to have an exception for opening the doors or else the log file will get spammed. Add this to the end of line 40 or the one that starts with 1 execVM

!"execvm 'MBG_Killhouses\\s\\MPSoundV2.sqf';"

Note: In order for players to receive radio announcements, they must have ItemRadio in a toolbelt inventory slot, so you might want to adjust your default loadout in init.sqf if you have this feature enabled.

Configuration

Open file config.sqf in the WAI folder and review the configuration options. Generally, there are comments that explain the options.

Versioning

For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we'll adhere to those rules whenever possible.
