You going through every step and setting... world class. I've been getting bits and pieces of dayz modding all over the place. If there was more content this thorough I would know so much more. Keep it coming please!
{ "m_Version": 1, "Enabled": 0, "RespawnTime": 0.0, "MinDistRadius": 0.0, "MaxDistRadius": 0.0, "EventCrashPatrol": [], "Patrol": [] } bit confused i have made my own patrol put all the coordinates in but when i start my server the server ai json changes to just this, most of the file disappears any idea ?
If it goes like that after you changed it then you made an error in that .json file. Best option is to delete it, restart the server so it generates again and then try again. If you Google "json validator" you can paste the contents of the file into the website and it will check for any errors for you. That will make sure this doesn't happen.
You can now delete this line in your init.c if you still have it: PatrolManager().InitPatrolSpawner(); Be aware that many of the default patrol routes are wrong but it works fine if you create your own.
It is old, and so am I. Too busy to make videos these days. There are other videos out there that explain how to install this. It's a lot easier than it used to be. When I get a chance I'll remove this video.
Great tutorial again Hepskie. The AI are working great on my server now. Just a question. What's the best way to give them unlimited ammo ? I've tried giving them more than one mag and made sure the unlimitedReload is set to 1 in the config but their still running out of ammo after the two mags are emptied. Any ideas ?
As far as I know that's the method! Make sure they have one mag in the gun and one in the inventory with unlimited reload on 1...as you say! Should be working. Possibly the guns get jammed or damaged. Worth investigating!
hi i'm using the old install method on my test server where we had to edit the init.c file it all working fine,atm i want to install it on main server which will be with the new method ,so i understand that there is no adjustment to the init.c file is that correct ?, thanks in advance for your great tutorials.
Yep! No init.c changes needed. There are some issues with the patrols for chernarus but if you can create your patrols then you are fine. I show you how to in this video. Either that or I can send you one.
@@hepskie i'm using deerisle and have done loads of patrols on test server, so i can upload these to main server after the new install method correct ?
@@hepskie hello, could you upload the chernarus patrols somewhere? i'm trying to fix the default ones but it's not working for some reason, and i don't understand what i'm doing wrong. i would only use them to play by my own. thanks for this tutorial!
I have a question... i have dayz expansion bundle installed and already configured... Will this cause problems if i add in expansion AI? Note i already have FS by 8Ball as a zombie mod. I just really dont want this mod to mess up my server. Any info would be great
You can always try installing it and if it doesn't work then you can remove it. Many people use the ai with the bundle but sometimes other zombie mods do cause issues.
6:29 somehow my server is not generating this "expansion" folder. it did generate the "expansionmod" folder with the settings. Maybe its because 4Neyplayers server is hiding folders in the MPmissions folder? Can i download the "expansion" folder with .json files somewhere? The ai is working btw, but i cant customize anything now :(
@@hepskie 100% sure, i looked everywhere, all i can find is the "expansionmod" folder. is it possible to download the json files somewhere? so i can copy them into my server manually?
I'm putting in the coords that I want my ai to patrol and they aren't spawning there. They are spawning at the heli crashes like they should be though. How can i fix this and get them to spawn where they need to be in my server?
@@hepskie yes im doing the y. its a flat area because of the airfield so im not sure if i need to change it or have them spawn raised up a tiny bit so they can fall smoothly to the ground.
odd, in my settings folder there are different settings options, but no ai settings. every expansion mod is working, expansion ai is also in there, no log folder and no ai settings to be found. not doing a nitrado server though, a local server through my pc. but got everything working except this.
@@hepskie the mod is indeed added to the bat file. I’ll try to find some stuff later this week. No time anymore right now. I’ll keep you updated Haha. Thank you for the reply and trying to help !
@@hepskie what a great and nice gesture ! I’ll be sure to find you in the next days, out of my city due to work right now but for two days. Thank you for the responses and the gesture. Very kind
If you added the fix line in the description then remove it, stop, start, then stop your server, then add it in again. This is why the description says its best to wait for the update fix.
using the control wheel that is activated with the T key as shown in the video. Infinite ammo you need to add a magazine to the loadout in the backpack or something and then there's an option in the settings to enable the unlimited ammo (which refills the mag in the backpack)
It's exactly the same as this. The only things you will need to find are where to add the @mod names, the config folder (which is called something different with 2 letters), and how to start and stop the server. Should be fairly easy to find out.
Hey, i copied your vid and had AI spawning in o helis and 1 patrol no problem, i added another patrol and all stopped spawning in. So i rolled back the server a day or so and they were working again. they worked for a few days, i had around 4 or 5 patrols and they stopped spawning in again afer a few days.... is there a known fix for this? i dont want to really roll back server again?
@@hepskie so it happened again. but i figured why they stopped spawning in. whenever i put my steam id in the ai settings folder for admin privliges. that seem to stop them from spawning in. dont know why. this time i removed my steam id. restarted server and they were spawning n again. could be a bug?
When you day the debug menu does nothing, do you mean it's not coming up when you press T? Did you put your steam ID in the settings? The default spawns are a bit messed up at the moment. Will be fixed soon anger next ai patch. You should be able to get your own coordinates working though.
@@hepskie The debug menu comes up but the options don't do anything. I tried adding my own coordinates and according to the logs the AI does spawn there as well as at the default coordinates, but they never actually appear. Maybe the patch will do something.
@@pizza70123 I'll send you my aipatrolsettings when I'm done with it. Should work better. The reason the radial menu doesn't work is because you didn't put your steam ID in. It will appear for every play now but only admin can spawn stuff in. Message me on discord
@@hepskie I actually did put my steam ID in, but thanks for reminding me because I forgot to put it inside quotation marks so it didn't work. I just assumed since the menu opened, admin access couldn't be the problem. Anyway, debug menu works now which is all I really wanted. Thanks mate.
@@hepskie The volume inequality between other apps, games and other creators videos is quite large.

thank you. I was waiting for you
Good work broski 🥰
Thank you so much for all your help!!!!
Fantastic video. Thanks!
My AI settings were in DayZServer\ServerProfile\ExpansionMod\Settings.
Yup. Because ServerProfile is the equivalent of config, as said in the video.
@@hepskie cool must have missed it👌
Which faction is frindly and will fight by your side? I know you mentioned that you guys were working on creating friendly ai that would help you...
34:19 is there any chance to randomize loot in slots?
My server just stays down when I put in the AI mod, any fix?
My "AIPatrolSettings" file is replaced with the default one when the server starts. I didn't make any mistakes.
Same here.
how do you go about making the alert/ "# of AI on your 6" warning when coming up on AI. I've seen it but don't know how to do it., thank you

I did everything exactly as in the video (I checked 3 times) but they just do not spawn. On the map is only me and the zombies.
Same problem here, did you manage to solve the issue?
Any idea why isn't there any AI spawning on my chenarus map ?

Yes, adjust the Y coordinate appropriately.

How do I just spawn them in myself? Admin CMDS? And what about infinite ammo?
