mission will be available in 4 flavours renamed to:

Daytime version (basesaving:on) Sandbox65_@inidb_GoT_Wasteland_v23day.Stratis.pbo Nighttime version (basesaving:on) Sandbox65@inidb_GoT_Wasteland_v23_night.Stratis.pbo Daytime version (basesaving:off) Sandbox65_GoT_Wasteland_v23_day.Stratis.pbo Nighttime version (basesaving:off) Sandbox65_GoT_Wasteland_v23_night.Stratis.pbo

Each version of the mission will be packaged as a zipfile to include the serversided files needed for the antihack

Why don't you just add an external settings file with parameters to set daytime and basesaving? Some file like GoT_Wasteland_Settings.sqf to be added in the main ARMA 3 folder like the anti-hack:

// GoT Wasteland Settings

GoT_nightTime = 0; // set to 1 to have the mission start on evening instead of morning
GoT_baseSaving = 0; // set to 1 to enable base-saving (iniDB addon required)
PDB_ServerID = "one"; // iniDB prefix for base filenames - if running multiple servers, set a different value for each one!

Then, in your server\init.sqf, just after the "Server Compile Finished", add:

if (loadFile "GoT_Wasteland_Settings.sqf" != "") then
{
    call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "GoT_Wasteland_Settings.sqf";
};

if (!isNil "GoT_nightTime" && {GoT_nightTime > 0}) then
{
    setDate [date select 0, date select 1, date select 2, 21, 0];
};

if (!isNil "GoT_baseSaving" && {GoT_baseSaving > 0}) then
{
    diag_log "GoT Wasteland - Initializing base-saving";
    execVM "persistentscripts\init.sqf";
};

was thinking of doing this indeed :)

but im merely stating the mission naming convention :)

[AgentRev]

Yeah but with a settings file, you'd only need a single PBO.

the time-thing is new to me so thanks for pointing that one out :) ill definately go for that :)

[JoSchaap]

ok will be one file with an external settingsfile to define:

• day or night
• loot in buildings
• basesaving
• inidb prefix

Sandbox65_GoT_Wasteland_v23.Stratis.pbo

Everything will be nicely packaged in a zipfile
