Help with DZMS

[sego]

So I have a Computer Science Bachlors and a friend asked if i could write him some code.  I started by looking at the DZMS custom AI missions.  I changed one and create my "own" mission.  Just kind of testing them i understand the language.  Below is the code.  I think i need to add a my new element to the DZMS Major array with the name of that new file (SG1).  << is this correct.  Also i just have the game and have no clue what i need to do to test if it works since i have never hosted or done anything with my own server.

I know nothing about SQF i just did that by reading DZMS functions and code and making assumptions

[TheVampire]

Yes, and then you would add SG1.sqf to the Major missions folder.

 

But you need to change DZMSUnitsMinor in your AI spawn lines to Major if its going to be a major mission.

Thanks,  Vampire this is good looking code btw.  Your function file and other things are really easy to follow.  I was able to just read it and get an ok grasp of SQF.

[TheVampire]

Two of your setDir don't have semicolons, but otherwise just make sure everything is setup for a Major mission. Some things in that code say minor when they should say major.

Fixed those.  Is there a way to test this without setting the server stuff up.  I started to do it but i never connect it to MySQL so when i try to run it leaves me in the lobby cause it cant connect to the SQL server

Not that I know of.
