[HELP] Run Different Maps with same mission

[Gr8]

I run Overpoch Taviana and overpoch Origins. With Same Scripts but just small extra files for origins, different safezones and different Missions addons.

 

How can I use 1 mission/server file to use with both Servers with different maps, becuase its easier to do bug fixes and adding new scripts to both servers at the same time.

 

 

thanks,

That would be harder. Running different mission.pbo are better. Take it from me i ran 6 Epoch servers side by side. Just make a new folder and copy the exact file structure of the mission.pbo, and just remove the files that are different from the two and just copy and paste them into the folders.

Dayz_instance =  11

Have different instances and have if statements on code? would that work?

Um. No the mission.pbo has something like this "(MissionName).(Map).pbo". Example: "dayz_1.chernarus.pbo"; "dayz_1.namalsk.pbo"; "dayz_1.tavi.pbo". That how the server loads the map.

 

 

They only way to use the two mission.pbo is to Hive the server and that's basically making two server that run the same mission, but the database is all separated except for character_data.

You can use one mission file but you have to change the mission.sqm. We use a command to get the map name and then just simple if statements. 

 

For example:

 

MapName = toLower format ["%1", worldName];

if (MapName == "chernarus") then {dayZ_instance =	11;};
if (MapName == "napf") then {dayZ_instance =	24;};
if (MapName == "tavi") then {dayZ_instance =	13;};


if (dayZ_instance == 11) then {
	spawnShoremode = 1;
	spawnArea= 1500;
	dayz_minpos = -1; 
	dayz_maxpos = 16000;
	dayz_MapArea = 14000; 
	MaxVehicleLimit = 300;

};

if (dayZ_instance == 24) then {
	spawnShoremode = 1;
	spawnArea= 1500;
	dayz_minpos = -1000; 
	dayz_maxpos = 26000;
	dayz_MapArea = 18000;
	MaxVehicleLimit = 300;

};


if (dayZ_instance == 13) then {
	spawnShoremode = 1;
	spawnArea = 2500;
	dayz_minpos = -26000; 
	dayz_maxpos = 26000;
	dayz_MapArea = 20000;
	MaxVehicleLimit = 300;
};

cant you run Batch commands to copy and pack pbo with different files on server startup?
