How to include mist.lua in a miz file

[Kadin]

I would like to include a copy of the mist_4_4_90.lua in my_mission.miz file.  I know how to drag it and drop it inside the miz file but I have not found a way to initiate the lua file through the editor's "do script file" since I cannot navigate inside the mission.

I am probably doing it wrongly but I have exhausted my potential at the moment

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there's another mean... "do script file" in Mission Editor then select mist's lua file.

I saw a while back in a mission named automan_test.miz that the mist file was included.  Here is a jpg of it.

If this is not possible anymore, then the mist.lua file has to be exactly in the same file location if you transfer the mission on the Dedicated Server machine.  Is this correct?

The structure of this .miz file doesn't look familiar to me. I can't tell.

That is the miz format pre DCS 1.5. The new format is similar, the only difference is there is a l10n folder with two sub folders that contain embedded files and a lookup dictionary for localization. The way of running the script is the same, just gotta make sure the trigger condition executes in order for the script to run. I usually use Once> Time Less 10> Do Script File or Mission Start> Time Less 10> Do Script File.

You do not need to drop the mist file (or any other script files) in the .miz file. Simply click ”open” under the do script file tab and navigate to the script file location on your pc and it will be added to the .miz file by dcs.

EasyEB, so let's see if I understoond it correctly.  The mist.lua file exist outside mymission.miz file.  Inside the mission editor and in the proper location using the "do script file" option I navigate to the location of the mist.lua file and select it.  I finish my mission and then transfer it on the dedicated server PC WITHOUT the need to also transfer the separate mist.lua file.  Is this correct?

[EasyEB]

Yes.

 

the lua file gets embedded in the miz when you select it in the mission editor editor.
