I would like to share with you how to install dogs on Taviana. All credits for this go to PiXel. I took the code from his DayZ addins 2.1 (http://opendayz.net/threads/dayz-mission-addin-serverside-scripts.7840/). I say Taviana but it should work on any other map but I run it on Taviana. I felt like it was better to create a seperate tutorial for this since a lot of people want dogs on their server but they don't want the other stuff.
I will also explain how to add dogs if you run Base Building because some steps are a bit different then.
For people that don't know the dog features are:
Ok so first open init.sqf in your mission file. Find this:
And right below that add:
Then find this:
Change it to this:
Now if you don't use Base Building open up description.ext in your mission file and search for class RscPicture. Below that section (so after }
paste this code. If you do use Base building then add this code to your defines.hpp also under class RscPicture and don't touch description.ext
The single player editor only works if you don't load Day Z. To do this start arma without dayz so e.g. run the executable.
The problem now is that you won't have Taviana. So what you need to do is copy the Taviana map to your arma 2 directory so you can open it in the single player editor.
So copy:
Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@Taviana\Addon\taviana.pbo, tavi.pbo and the matching bisign files to common\arma 2\AddOns. Now Taviana should be available as single player without loading Dayz.
Once you loaded the map in the editor, hit F6 and choose map markers where you want to have the dog houses. Just name them 1,2,3...etc. Once your done save it and you will have the coordinates. (You can add as many as you want).
Now go to your My Documents Folder, there's a either a map BIS Core Engine or Arma 2 Other files, in it is a map missions and then a folder with the name of the mission you just saved. In their should be a SQM file.
The important part is the class markers, those are your coordinates:
These coordinates look like this on the Taviana map. Feel free to use them if you're too lazy to add your own dog houses

Now open up mission.sqm in your mission file and search for class vehicles. It should say how many items you have there.
Now, if you added let's say 6 dog houses, you'll have to increase items= to 37. If you add 12 you have to increase it to 43 etc. etc. Now go to the very last item of the class vehicles and below it add the code for the dog houses and put it the coordinates you got from the single player editor so it looks like this:
Don't forget to change the class Itemnumber for every dog house. Just follow up from the number of your last vehicle. The value for 'id' is your class item + 1.
I remarked placement, because if you use that it will move the dog houses in a random radius from your coordinates (in meters) so it's your choice if you want that or not. I personally don't like it.
If you're done save the file. If you want more dog houses just copy paste one code block, name it dog_7, up the item and id and you're done.
If you want you can add one more customization to increase or decrease the distance from which dogs can find animals. Open dog.sqf and on line 57 you'll see this:
400 is the radius in which the dog will look for animals. Feel free to change it to whatever you want.
Done!!
If people have other customizations, like finding humans or other stuff please share! Thanks!
I will also explain how to add dogs if you run Base Building because some steps are a bit different then.
For people that don't know the dog features are:
- Follow the leader.
- Sit/Stay.
- Find animals.
- Kill zombies.
- Ride with you in any vehicle.
Ok so first open init.sqf in your mission file. Find this:
Code:
if (isServer) then {And right below that add:
Code:
dogOwner = [];Then find this:
Code:
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
_playerMonitor =[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";Change it to this:
Code:
_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death; _nul = [] execVM "addin\plrInit.sqf";}];
//_id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
_playerMonitor =[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";
_nul = [] execVM "addin\plrInit.sqf";
Code:
class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] =
{
bark,growl,whistleFollow,whistleStay,whistleFind,whistleNon
};
class bark
{
name="bark";
sound[]={addin\fx\bark.ogg,0.4,1};
titles[] = {};
};
class growl
{
name="growl";
sound[]={addin\fx\growl.ogg,0.5,1};
titles[] = {};
};
class whistleFollow
{
name="whistleFollow";
sound[]={addin\fx\whistleFollow.ogg,0.8,1};
titles[] = {};
};
class whistleStay
{
name="whistleStay";
sound[]={addin\fx\whistleStay.ogg,0.8,1};
titles[] = {};
};
class WhistleFind
{
name="WhistleFind";
sound[]={addin\fx\whistleFind.ogg,0.8,1};
titles[] = {};
};
class whistleNon
{
name="whistleNon";
sound[]={addin\fx\whistleNon.ogg,0.9,1};
titles[] = {};
};
};- Download addin.zip and extract it to your mission file. So it would be like dayz_1.taviana\addin

The single player editor only works if you don't load Day Z. To do this start arma without dayz so e.g. run the executable.
