Sharing MOOSE Missions

[RichW]

I'm a newbie to developing missions with MOOSE and the question I have is: can missions created using the MOOSE Framework be shared with other who do not have MOOSE installed.

 

Thanks

Its not something that is installed. When you add a script, sound, or briefing image file to a mission it gets embedded into the mission file itself. The only way it wouldn't work is if you had code that would run something from your harddrive like: dofile('X:SomeFolder/On/Your/PC/script.lua')

Thanks, after looking at the size of the .MIZ file I assumed something was being added but wasn't sure.

You can open a miz file with programs like winzip, winrar, or 7zip because it is basically just an archive file.

It actually depends on how you are loading Moose. There are two ways typically. Dynamic which means that Moose is referenced rather than loaded into the .MIZ. This is typically used during development or if you are actually developing and changing Moose. It should be used when distributing a mission.

 

If you are distributing your mission it is advisable to use the Static Moose version. Which you would load via a trigger and would be contained in the .MIZ file.
