HogsMaws 2 Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) hello it's been a while since i did this but i followed these instructions from a while ago: DayZ Server Here is how you do it at the moment... it may change in the future. In your Steam library go to the Tools tab. Install DayZ Server. After it is installed right click it and select Properties then Launch Options, type this in there: -config=serverDZ.cfg You won't have to do that again. Go to where the server files installed in steam and find \DayZServer\serverDZ.cfg Open it with notepad and change the name of the server to what ever you want, change day/night length etc... save the file. Just start the server from Steam like you would a game... wait for it to say init sequence finished then just start DayZ from Steam like you normaly would. When in the game select change server then go to the LAN tab and play on your private server that you named. If you want to save a backup of the server just copy the storage_1 folder somewhere else to recover from later. To reset the server delete all the files in the data folder: \DayZServer\mpmissions\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\storage_1\data\ To delete/start a fresh character delete the players.db file under storage_1 folder: \dayzOffline.chernarusplus\storage_1\players.db Later on if you want to play with mods on your sever you can right click DayZ game in your library and use the Dayz Launcher to add mods. i can't seem to find the server by the name i entered in the serverDZ.cfg file. do we have to leave the quotes in? e.g. "SERVER NAME"? i started the server an this is the end string process. hostname = "TEST1"; // Server name password = "1234"; // Password to connect to the server passwordAdmin = "12341234"; // Password to become a server admin is this right?
