Types.xml and Events.xml possibly have the wrong Santa Sleigh entries for Chernarus (and potentially Livonia)
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

There seems to be a mistake in the default types and events xml supplied with the DayZ Server files.

In types.xml:

<type name="SantasSleigh">
    <nominal>0</nominal>
    <lifetime>3</lifetime>
    <restock>0</restock>
    <min>0</min>
    <quantmin>-1</quantmin>
    <quantmax>-1</quantmax>
    <cost>100</cost>
    <flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
</type>

should be:

<type name="Wreck_SantasSleigh">
    <nominal>0</nominal>
    <lifetime>3</lifetime>
    <restock>0</restock>
    <min>0</min>
    <quantmin>-1</quantmin>
    <quantmax>-1</quantmax>
    <cost>100</cost>
    <flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
</type>

and the events.xml entry should reflect that in the children from:

<event name="StaticSantaCrash">
    <nominal>3</nominal>
    <min>0</min>
    <max>0</max>
    <lifetime>2100</lifetime>
    <restock>0</restock>
    <saferadius>1</saferadius>
    <distanceradius>1</distanceradius>
    <cleanupradius>1000</cleanupradius>
    <secondary>InfectedSanta</secondary>
    <flags deletable="1" init_random="0" remove_damaged="0"/>
    <position>fixed</position>
    <limit>child</limit>
    <active>1</active>
    <children>
        <child lootmax="15" lootmin="10" max="3" min="1" type="SantasSleigh"/>
    </children>
</event>

to

<event name="StaticSantaCrash">
    <nominal>3</nominal>
    <min>0</min>
    <max>0</max>
    <lifetime>2100</lifetime>
    <restock>0</restock>
    <saferadius>1</saferadius>
    <distanceradius>1</distanceradius>
    <cleanupradius>1000</cleanupradius>
    <secondary>InfectedSanta</secondary>
    <flags deletable="1" init_random="0" remove_damaged="0"/>
    <position>fixed</position>
    <limit>child</limit>
    <active>1</active>
    <children>
        <child lootmax="15" lootmin="10" max="3" min="1" type="Wreck_SantasSleigh"/>
    </children>
</event>

Steps To Reproduce
  • Download DayZ Server from steam (or verify the files to get the latest files)
  • Edit the StaticSantaCrash event by changing the active line to 1
    • No sleighs will spawn
  • Change the "children" to point from "SantasSleigh" to "Wreck_SantasSleigh" and edit the "SantasSleigh" entry in types to "Wreck_SantasSleigh"
    • Sleighs will now spawn.

Hello mrdarn.
Christmass mission should be launched only with the files provided on github. The mission folder on github contains events.xml and types.xml fit for the mission. In order to run it properly, you need to use these files.
Regards,
Geez
