sibexus 26 Posted September 20, 2012 Hello, how does one go about translating positions in log files to coordinates on a map? I need to find out if someone was teleporting. For example if they traveled a particularly long distance in a short amount of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flawlesssoul 30 Posted September 20, 2012 Depends on who hosts your server - if you have access to the log files, you'll be looking at the one showing the updates for survivor location.INFO [main] dayz_####.takistan command E: call proc_updateSurvivor(####, '[###,[XXXX.XX,YYYY.YY,Z.ZZZZZ]]'That's an example from our log (a Takistan server hosted by Vilayer, ofc) of my character before logging out. I've replaced the coordinates with X, Y and Z identifiers.For Chernarus, the in-game map shows an inverted and offset Y coordinate, so you'll be subtracting 15350 from the Y coordinate. This will give you a negative number, which will be the correct Y coordinate. Takistan and Lingor seem to translate directly into map coordinates perfectly.A large difference in either is instantly noticeable without requiring the "conversion", however, so since you're just looking for that (right?) you'll be able to do it easily.
