How to make a Mission File for a new map?

[How to make a Mission File for a new map?]

I would like to make the map 'Al Rayak' work for Exile, but I have no idea how to make a mission file. My initial thought was to copy the contents of the Chernarus mission file and edit where necessary, but even if that works, how do I know which trees to add to the "chop these trees for wood" section? How do I add the water pumps to make it possible to fill up water bottles? I can handle stuff like Loot Position creation if buildings are not covered, but I could still use some help with the initial setup of the map working with Exile. I will worry about traders and all that stuff later. I just need to know how to spawn in, cut trees down, make water pumps available. Or am I missing something? 

 

Even if someone can point a link to a tutorial, that would be great, I just can't seem to find one.

[DMS - Defent's Mission System]

Hi all! I am trying to setup a position array for a static DMS mission. Here is the current code for the mission; I am not sure what to comment out and how to arrange the _pos code for the dozens of coords I have.

As always, any help is appreciated. 

[Removing Map Markers]

Thank you, @Thomas TKO! It truly was a simple fix. Thanks for the help!

[Removing Map Markers]

Hi All! I am just trying to hide the map markers for Spawns and Traders, etc. that are all over the map. I feel like this is a simple fix, but I can't quite seem to crack it without causing spawns in the ocean. Any help is appreciated.
