description.ext config to disable "initPlayerServer.sqf" event script
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Every time client joins server, there is an attempted remote execution to execute execVM ( BIS_fnc_execVM ) on the server.

I would like a description.ext config to disable this attempted remote execution.

The line of code in question is in CfgFunctions initFunctions.sqf file

Line 590 ( 1.66 )

			if !(isDedicated) then {
				[player,didJIP] execvm "initPlayerLocal.sqf";
				[[[player,didJIP],"initPlayerServer.sqf"],"bis_fnc_execvm",false,false] call bis_fnc_mp;
				"initPlayerLocal.sqf" call bis_fnc_logFormat;
				"initPlayerServer.sqf" call bis_fnc_logFormat;
			};

I have not whitelisted BIS_fnc_execVM or execVM in CfgRemoteExec, so my RPT is spammed by this:

23:01:13 "***** onPlayerConnected ***** [1.74782e+009,""765611989222"",""White Wolf"",true,8] *****"

I would like a description.ext config to disable the initPlayerServer.sqf remote execution.

// description.ext
initplayerserver = 0;  // 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default - 1)

suggested revised CfgFunctions initFunctions.sqf:

if !(isDedicated) then {
	[player,didJIP] execvm "initPlayerLocal.sqf";
	if ((getMissionConfigValue ["initplayerserver",1]) isEqualTo 1) then {
		[[player,didJIP],"initPlayerServer.sqf"] remoteExec ["bis_fnc_execvm",([0,2] select ismultiplayer),false]; /*/ Old syntax -- [[[player,didJIP],"initPlayerServer.sqf"],"bis_fnc_execvm",false,false] call bis_fnc_mp;/*/
	};
	"initPlayerLocal.sqf" call bis_fnc_logFormat;
	"initPlayerServer.sqf" call bis_fnc_logFormat;
};

Additional Information

To implement this tweak, all that has to be done is revise the block in initFunctions.sqf with the suggested change, as that contains an implicit mission config entry in description.ext that designers can add if they wish to disable the event script.
