Changing map

[Randomness]

I just noticed that we are no longer supposed to use -mod=@dayzsauerland; to change the map to sauerland. I'm currently wondering where the actual map change line goes / how it is done. Anyone could help me on this?

It's detected by the instance ID (Sauerland is 25)

Start it with :

start "arma2" /min "Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=instance_25_sauerland\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_25_sauerland\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_25_sauerland" -name=instance_25_sauerland "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"

Nowhere in these configs or files its readign its saying to load Sauerland as map. However it seems to be defined in the mission.sqm file (thanks Judge Bread)

Instance 25 is Sauerland, Mission.sqm loads up the addons and chooses the map relating to the files with instance 25

instance 25 is just a name for a folder. 

	addOns[]=
	{
		"sauerland"
	};

This is making sure u load Sauerland. It has nothing to do with whatever number instance it is, or whatever the instance folder name is.

Yes, so by loading up the instance 25 folder you get Sauerland, isn't that what you wanted ?

Maybe i need more coffee, I was just trying to help.

We pretty much customized everything so I use 28 as instance number, and starting the game with the parameter in the past.The only reason 25 is Sauerland is because of that one line in the mission.sqm ;). You can run instance_11_chernarus on sauerland map if you want through editing the mission.sqm, thus the instance numbers / names are just for organising, they dont actually serve a purpose to be named like that.

 

Thanks for the attempted help, but I'd prefer to end this topic with a clear answer, as "loading instance 25" doesnt make the server load sauerland as map. Changing that line in mission.sqm does ;)
