🩸 a small tool to help categorize your dayz server types

🚀 Usage

• Download the latest binary executable from the releases.
• When running the executable, pass the path to the types.xml folder of the mission you wish to categorize.
• The executable will create a new folder called output which will contain the separated type files, types.xml replacement, and an extract from cfgeconomycore.xml with the new fields.

📦 Installation

• Copy the types folder generated inside output and insert it into a corresponding mission's db folder. (If you wish to change that, look into the extract of cfgeconomycore.xml).
• Copy the extract of cfgeconomycore.xml within the <economycore> tags and paste it inside cfgeconomycore.xml. (The <ce> tag's folder field corresponds to where the types folder should be located).
• Replace the types.xml folder in the db folder with the one generated inside output.

📝 Notes

• If any of the values shown in base types.xml are missing from the categories.json, the script will notify you after the completion and output the missing values in output/unused.xml.

📜 Editing the categories.json

• In categories.json, a field inside the base of the object stands for the group. The name is written as follows [t = types | e = events]-[name]. It's important to get the types right, as if for example the infected are given the spawn type of types it will not work.

• The value of the field should be a string array. An array should contain the Id names of the items that should be in that group. If the string begins with #, it means it's a comment, and when generating the type files, it will be written in the file as a comment to help distinguish between groups.

• The categories.json file is read from the ./ folder, so it is important to keep in mind that the binary is located in the same folder as the categories.json file.
