It makes no sense to rename the identical DayZ PVs to have an E in their name. I don't see any good reason it was done in the first place. All it accomplishes is breaking script compatibility between the two mods and requiring different publicvariable.txt filters. The only time it makes sense is for custom Epoch variables that aren't used in vanilla. All admins have to do to update custom scripts is swap the names according to the change log. Note I've submitted a pull request to replace PVDZ_veh_Save with PVDZ_obj_Save in official too because they are duplicates.
== Basic Install Guide == 1. First install/update your Visual C++ x86 Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 The file is called "vcredist_x86.exe". 2. Download both client and server files and extract to the root "Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead" folder. Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead". Important Note: On some Windows systems you may need to "UnBlock" the dll files. Right-click the file, Properties and click "Unblock". 3. Install Mysql server and create a new mysql database called "dayz_epoch". Next import the epoch.sql file found in the SQL folder. 4. Open HiveExt.ini and change your mysql connection information. 5. Launch the server with -mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server; use the *.bat files found in Config=Examples folder for an example. == Basic Upgrading Guide == 1.

Important Note: On some Windows systems you may need to "UnBlock" the dll files. Right-click the file, Properties and click "Unblock". 3. Connect to your mysql server using naicat or phpmyadmin and import the epoch.sql file found in the SQL folder. This will drop and re-add the traders tables and will leave everything else intact. 4. Inside the "Keys" folder on your server remove any previous day_epoch*.bikey keys. As of 1.0.6 our bikey is called dayz_epoch106.bikey and we will use a new one for each release.
