DayZ mission validator

How to use DayZ mission validator?

When an item never spawns, the cause is often a mismatch between types.xml (what should spawn), mapgroupproto.xml (where buildings can hold it) and cfglimitsdefinition.xml (the allowed usages, tiers, categories and tags). This validator compares the three files.

1. 1

   Load types.xml (the mission's db/ folder) with the “Choose” button.

2. 2

   Load mapgroupproto.xml and cfglimitsdefinition.xml (mission root), then cfglimitsdefinitionuser.xml if it exists.

3. 3

   Read the errors (red): undeclared values or invalid XML — those entries will not load properly.

4. 4

   Read the warnings (orange): these are items that may never spawn on this map.

5. 5

   Fix your files (e.g. with the types.xml editor), reload them and repeat until there are no errors.
