There so many new and good mods coming out every day. The trouble is, some mods require type.xml or event.xml script to be added. Like vehicles, clothes, food, ect. Then when Dayz devs puts out an update it sends these .xml files back to default. Then I was thinking what if we had a custom type.xml and a type.xml file (same with the event too), where we can put the mod script into and have the game call from both files.
example:
All the mod's type.xml scripts will go into "custom type.xml"
The dayz update new data will stay in the "type.xml"
So we can continue to get all the new update items and it wont effect the mods that we have on our server, and vice versa. This would be a win win for the Devs and the modding community. I was thinking of just adding custom type.xml call script, but cant find where the type.xml call script is located at in the pbo files. "Any Ideas" on how to go about doing this will be very helpful and appreciated.
Watch this video this helped me out alot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6xrSn4jp6M This is the one i used to set up my server and a test server. I run the main server from my Desk top, and test server from my lap top.
If you are planning on cutting cost and run the main server, from your own pc, you'll need a server OS for more then 10+ ppl. If only small group or just test server, reg OS like win 7 or win 8 will be just fine.
