Each class can have many items to select from.

Features
  • Players will receive a fully loaded and ready to shoot weapon.

Important Updates:
03.08.2020 Fixed whiteList, added generalItems to each class, added container (e.g. FirstAidKit ...) support
That will be the last update for a while, aside from bug fixes.

Added 2 options
"overrideEquipCharacter": 1, "overrideStartingEquipSetup": 0,
which allow to disable the default override of StartingEquipSetup() EquipCharacter() added by this mod. Only use if you know what you are doing.
Make sure GetClassSelection().GiveClassEquipment(m_player); only gets called once either by yourself or by default from this mod

________________________________________________________

Classes:
Make sure to use the -profiles startparameter for your server! (e.g. -profiles=configs)

Use the ClassDataExample.json as template and create your classes in the classes folder.


To give all players items regardless of their class use the GeneralItems.json in the ClassSelection folder.

Container
If you want to add items to a container use the cargo array!
{ "name": "FirstAidKit", "cargo": [ { "name": "SalineBagIV", "selected": 0, "quantity": 0, "attachments": [], "cargo": [], "magazines": [] }, { "name": "Epinephrine", "selected": 0, "quantity": 0, "attachments": [], "cargo": [], "magazines": [] } ], }

Config:
Full example found here: https://github.com/d3xter-dev/dayz-class-selection/blob/master/Config.example.json

Disable kill on class select
To disable the instant kill add following to your Conifg.json file.
"giveWeaponsAfterDeath": 1,

Show menu only on respawn
To show the select menu only on respawn and let the user choose a new class each time add following to your Conifg.json file.
"showClassSelectOnRespawnOnly": 1,

Combination
If you modify the <player> node in __MISSION__\db\economy.xml to look like:
<player init="1" load="1" respawn="1" save="0"/>
You can achieve following:
  • with showClassSelectOnRespawnOnly = 1 players will be forced to select the class each time they connect
  • with showClassSelectOnRespawnOnly = 0 players will repsawn with the last class they chosen when they reconnect.
(Be sure to wipe the players.db if you try this otherwise it will always load the last saved player state)

Whitelist
To whitelist classes look in the Config.json -> whiteList
"whiteList": { "SomeClassName": [ "someSteamID64", "someSteamID64" ], "SomeOtherClassName": [ "someSteamID64" ] }

Important!
(Following needed if you override the "EquipCharacter()" function in your CustomMission (init.c) or via. a modded MissionServer class.)
Make sure that you call "GetClassSelection().GiveClassEquipment(m_player);" and don't clear player items after that call, for obvious reasons.

Mod Support
  • ExpansionMod: add GetClassSelection().GiveClassEquipment(m_player); to the init.c StartingEquipSetup() function in @DayZ-Expansion\Missions\YOUR_MISSION\init.c (Crashes sometimes, idk if it's because of my mod)

Future-Development:
  • Attachment selection Menu
  • Clothing selection Menu

So, is there an "alternative" mod to this that actually works because this one just slams when used with Expansion no matter how many fixes i use.
Grotzz Oct 29, 2022 @ 2:18am 
Ok, tks

The dev stopped updating this. I asked for a fix 2 years ago and got ghosted.

Hi, I'm using this mod on my Deathmatch server and in general is great. But once I start to have some small amount of players (like 4 or 5) the server keeps crashing a lot, sometimes every 5 minutes.

I get crash message stating:
LocalDestroyEntity: No inventory location
Class: 'DayZPlayerInventory'
Function: 'Error'
Stack trace:

Any ideas?

Can I make a class that gives half a stack of .22 instead of a whole stack or gasoline canisters with only a certain amount in it?
