BuildLoader

Description
Description
This is an alternative to DayZ Editor Loader, except this loads files exported in COM or init.c format. This mod is not dependent on being a client mod, and can be ran as a server only mod, using the -servermod= parameter. You can export your builds/map edits directly from COM or DayZ Editor in init.c exported format, and load them into your server without having to touch your actual mission's init.c file, this streamlines the process of loading map edits, leaving little room for human error when changing the mission's init.c file.

How To Use
1. Load mod client or server side, example of loading server side: -servermod=@BuildLoader
2. Create a folder in your serverprofile folder, name it BuildLoader
3. Put all your exported COM or DayZ Editor exported renamed init.c files in the BuildLoader folder
4. Start the server

Notes
- If the 'BuildLoader' folder is not there when the server starts, the mod will generate the folder when the server gets to the mission intialization phase.
- Rename your exported init.c files, so you can place multiple files in the 'BuildLoader' folder.
- You do NOT need to edit the exported init.c files, BuildLoader will take care of spawning the objects.
- If you're attempting to load objects that are not part of the game, missing a mod or the scope of the object is private, BuildLoader will simply skip over attempting to spawn the object, preventing unnecessary crashes.
- If you do decide to load BuildLoader as a client mod, the module will simply not load on the client, but still work on the server side.

Important
- BuildLoader does load persistent objects, but will not stack them on restarts.
- Rename your exported init.c files.

Is there a load order that matters between this and editor loader? I've had editor loader on my server forever, added this to get rid of the duplicating building, and on first time trying to load with both installed all kinds of crazy things started happening and nobody could get into the server until I backed the editor loader back out. May be un-related but figured I'd start here incase it was an order issue.

This mod was made before static p3d's could be spawned, there's currently no plans for me to update the mod to support static p3d's as I'm unavailable.

When editing in Dayz Editor, trees in the static objects named "DZ\plants\tree\t_piceaabies_1f.p3d" etc. do not spawn in through init.c

do you have a premade bridge for skallity island? i could really use one lol

Infected running through buildings is a back and forth battle. The moment you start having nearly a thousand custom objects, the navmesh carving doesn't kick in until later. If you don't want it to happen within the first few minutes of server start, then tone down the amount of objects spawned. And no I don't support scaling, because this mod parses the legacy format of SpawnObject, I cannot support both the legacy and the format the supports scaling because of inconsistencies in the signatures. If you want scaling, use DayZ Editor Loader.
