events.xml editor

How to use events.xml editor?

events.xml (mpmissions/<map>/db) describes DayZ's dynamic events: heli crashes, military convoys, infected zones, animals, vehicles. Each event has a target count (nominal), bounds (min/max), a lifetime, radii and “children” (the objects or entities spawned).

1. 1

   Import your events.xml (recommended): each event becomes an editable card.

2. 2

   Adjust nominal, min, max, lifetime and the radii; disable an event with active.

3. 3

   Describe the children, one line per child: type,min,max,lootmin,lootmax.

4. 4

   Check the “Checks” panel and fix the reported errors.

5. 5

   Download events.xml, replace it in mpmissions/<map>/db/, delete storage_1 if you need a clean start, and restart.
