Where are all the guides?

Recommended Posts

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

  • You start from scratch
  • How do you setup the modding environment properly..

Launch dayz tools => Workbench => Workbench (again) => Options => Source data directory => P:/

  • Which paths are important, which paths can you set yourself? like drive p etc
  • How do you get your project into the script editor?

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?

With the Addon Builder tool

  • Which tools do you need? Is the DayZ Tools collection enough?

Dayz tools is enough for scripting, animating, texturing and modeling, can't tell for mapping

  • Ok you have a mod now, how do you sign it, pack it and then put it into the workshop?

With the Publisher tool

 

this guy @Matthew Longtime have a lot of videos for beginners

Septic Falcon made a video to show how to add a skins and is better explained for skins/mod repack and mod config
