General Setup

General Setup Guide

The first thing I recommend doing is setting up a custom types.xml folder structure to keep all my mod entries separate from other mods and vanilla config.

The way to do this is easy, just open this file:

%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/cfgeconomycore.xml

And add this code to it underneath the </defaults> tag:

    <ce folder="db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist">
        <file name="types.xml" type="types" />
        <file name="events.xml" type="events" />
        <file name="cfgspawnabletypes.xml" type="spawnabletypes" />
    </ce>

Then create this folder structure: %server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist

And either paste in the XML files included inside the mod folder, or create these two text files and add the types in separately for each mod you plan to use:

%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist/types.xml

%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist/cfgspawnabletypes.xml

This will keep all my mod's types entries separate from other mods + the vanilla XMLs.

For those new to server admin, you can do this for any mod's types.xml and you can even split up the vanilla types.xml to separate food/ammo/weapons etc to keep things better organized.

Templates & Examples

Inside the mod folder from the Steam Workshop of this packed mod, you will find a bunch of example templates & config copied directly from my server at HardcoreDayZ.com

This is probably the best resource for learning how everything works particularly with my types.xml config and the more complex mods with JSON config, like my Treasure mod in particular which has a bunch of loot categories and pre-defined loot config etc.
