+You can use our [[Modding:PVEMissions:VSPluginDebugging|Visual Studio Add-In]] to be able to create Galactineers mission projects, which will generate all files required for a mission. It also provides a T4 template to auto-generate PHP scripts from the [[Modding:PVEMissions:map.xml|map.xml]] and [[Modding:PVEMissions:shipdefinitions.xml|shipdefinitions.xml]] files, which you can include in your [http://wiki.galactineers.net/index.php?title=Category:Modding:PVEMissions:mission.php mission.php] script.

+If you have a PHP debugger installed for Visual Studio, e.g. [https://www.devsense.com/ Phalanger PHP Tools for Visual Studio], you can even debug it directly in Visual Studio.
