Installation

extDB

1. Execute PTWS-SQL.sql in your mySQL viewer.

2. You should now have a ptws table.

3. For 32bit: Copy the contents of PTWS.ini into your @ExileServer\extDB\sql_custom_v2\exile.ini file at the bottom.

4. For 64bit: Copy the contents of PTWS_x64.ini into your @extdb3\sql_custom\exile.ini file at the bottom.

Server

1. Take either the PTWS.pbo or the file and put it in your @ExileServer\addons. Use the file if you want to configure the settings and pack it after you're done.

Mission

1. Copy PTWS from Mission Files\mpmissions\Exile.Yourmap into the root of your Exile.Yourmap folder.

2. Open your config.cpp in your mission folder and edit your CfgExileCustomCode and add a two new lines inside like this: ExileServer_system_weather_initialize = "PTWS\ExileServer_system_weather_initialize.sqf"; ExileClient_object_player_stats_updateTemperature = "PTWS\ExileClient_object_player_stats_updateTemperature.sqf"; ExileClient_system_snow_thread_update = "PTWS\ExileClient_system_snow_thread_update.sqf";

You are done!
