How to use serverDZ.cfg generator?

serverDZ.cfg is the main configuration file of a DayZ Standalone dedicated server, located in the server root and loaded with -config=serverDZ.cfg. Every line ends with a semicolon; strings are in double quotes.

  1. Fill in the name, the passwords (replace ChangeMe!) and the slot count.

  2. Choose the mission (template): dayzOffline.chernarusplus or dayzOffline.enoch (Livonia), matching the folders in mpmissions/.

  3. Set the time (serverTimeAcceleration, serverNightTimeAcceleration) and the login queue.

  4. Copy or download serverDZ.cfg and put it in the server root (import an existing one to edit it).

  5. Start the server with -config=serverDZ.cfg (see the Launch parameters tool).
