Oppahansi 2 Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Hi, I would like to start modding DayZ SA but I just cant find a complete guide. You can find information here and there but I just couldnt find a gude that is written this way/in a proper way, that shows all steps: (especially scripting) You start from scratch How do you setup the modding environment properly.. How do you have to setup your folders? Which paths are important, which paths can you set yourself? like drive p etc How do you get your project into the script editor? How do you get your project into Visual Studio? How do you prepare the server How do you prepare the client With or without BattlEye? How do you build or pack the mod to be tested or should you test unpacked? Which tools do you need? Is the DayZ Tools collection enough? Ok you have a mod now, how do you sign it, pack it and then put it into the workshop? Can anyone link me something or maybe anyone can take some time and make a proper guide ? Thanks. Cheers Edited August 19, 2019 by Oppahansi typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Launch Dayz tools, make sure P drive is a thing => Launch the workbench => Go to view => script editor How do you get your project into Visual Studio? create a new project from Visual Studio like normal How do you prepare the server with the command line "-mod=mod_number1;mod_number2" (servermod and clientmod can also be used) How do you prepare the client Like any other mods, you activate it from your launcher or with the command line "-mod=mod_number1;mod_number2" With or without BattlEye? you don't care How do you build or pack the mod to be tested or should you test unpacked?
