Hi,

 

As i would love to help you, i think you just need to learn it yourself. Every time you update epoch you have to put the scripts back in again, so some experience and understanding is recommended or you would keep having the same issues over and over again.

 

I too have learned it from scratch and the most of the scripts at this forum and opendayz.net provide enough tutorials to do this. Then if you tried to put the script in the server and it isn't working come with a direct question about how to do it.

 

Either way, to get you starting:

 

Download your mission file from vilayer, mine is called "DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus". Every mission file is called differently but you be looking in that way.

 

Download a PBO manager and unpack the PBO.

 

Before you edit anything it is very important you keep the original as a backup. Every time i successfully add a script or buildings to my server i give it a version name for myself and write down what was added or removed from that version, so i can always fall back on the last working one.

 

When you unpack the PBO, start editing and adding scripts (i would say one at a time, as mentioned in the previous step).

 

Repack the PBO and reupload it to your server, start your server and test it out. Does it work? cool. Doesn't it work? Edit your created PBO or fall back on the last version, starting over again adding the script (maybe you just missed something?).

 

The same counts for your database, before you even think about editing something create a backup!! Especially when you already have players on your server (because they won't be happy!).

 

Hope this helps you.

If you use vilayer, all the mission and server files are in vilayercodecustom. And if you want to edit/add/remove a line, you can just press the pencil next to the sqf file. You don't need to use a pbo manager and unpack/pack the pbo every time.

Make sure you download the sqf first so you can replace the original again if it didn't work.
