Why quotes around -mod=?

The semicolon separates mods; inside quotes, the shell or .bat does not split it into several commands.

Are my mods validated?

No, this tool only formats. For load order and duplicates, use the Mod checker.

How to use DayZ launch parameters?

A DayZ server is configured in two places: serverDZ.cfg for the rules and the command line for files, mods and logging. This tool builds that line and a ready-to-use start script.

Choose the output format (.bat, shell script or single line) and the executable name.
Fill in -config, -port, -profiles and, if needed, -BEpath.
List your mods, one per line (@Mod folder): -mod= ones are required on the player side, -serverMod= ones stay server-side.
Enable the logs you want, then copy or download the script.
Put the script in the server folder, copy the mods' .bikey files into keys/, then run it.
