Princess Dookie 35 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) What sort of an API can we, the developers, expect to have on the servers running the DayZ Standalone? Is there any documentation that outlines what the mod / development community will have the ability to perform, or how they can interact with the game? Ex: (EXAMPLE, JUST AN EXAMPLE)Counting the number of beans a user eats on a particular serverCounting average accuracy of each player that shootsCounting the number of total shots per serverCounting the number of particular items that are yet to be picked up on the serverTracking the most popular time of day on the server - Game time not Time Zone timeTracking the number of people who have killedTracking the number of people with guns / newcomers To The Sadists :This is not a leader-board system. My question pertains to what can we expect to track, and do with the API, rather than, "what am i describing by giving you these examples.

cywehner1234 582 Posted February 28, 2014 Yes lets make this bf4 and cod :) We should start with military loadouts, all snipers, and teleport to places and call in AC-130s. Sounds great to me! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaveMeJebus 164 Posted February 28, 2014 Really?? Other than tracking other benign things such as shots fired and beans eatten, I fail to see how a "tracking system" is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cywehner1234 582 Posted February 28, 2014 Counting the number of beans a user eats on a particular serverCounting average accuracy of each player that shootsCounting the number of total shots per server What's the point of these if they are not displayed to anybody. You are literally not even making sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluxley 2228 Posted February 28, 2014 There's no support for modding or even tracking stats at all currently, probably not going to happen for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what my question was all about. Good to know. I shall hold and wait. A game that was build on a mod should provide mod features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echeerie 0 Posted February 28, 2014 The game will most definitely be moddable, but not until there's a decent framework underneath it. Regarding API, there's really no knowing right now what will be there. The devs are hard at work getting the base game to a reasonable state, only then will they worry with lower-priority things like modding and possibly API.

So Sexy 259 Posted February 28, 2014 Why just not make so that only you can view your own stats, I would be pretty interested to see them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess Dookie 35 Posted February 28, 2014 Why just not make so that only you can view your own stats, I would be pretty interested to see them. People in this community seem to bend words. If you are tracking your own stats that also means leaderboards, especially to the sadist trolls above. None the less, I can agree with your comment. I would like to see how many beans I ate in a life, or how many times I was shot and had to use a bandage. Why? Well, is it wrong to track my own progress? no. If I own a private server, and only my clan plays on it, is it wrong to become a little competitive and compare stats? Of course not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djporternz 644 Posted February 28, 2014 The SA is based off of the RV engine in all the other ArmA games. The API is availible from the BI wiki and has been for years. Whether or not parts of it are restricted or not is yet to be seen. Go there: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands. Most questions about relevance of this to DayZ cannot be answered yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
