    Rent your own prepaid DayZ server for PC, PS4 or Xbox today at Nitrado.net

     

    Where to start

    Here you will learn how to edit the XML files for your DayZ server, let’s get started.

    First, a couple important notes:

    • Be sure your server is stopped before editing files.
      • We suggest stopping the server for 3-5 minutes before making changes.
    • Save your changes, then start the server.

    Filebrowser

    The server settings can be changed within the filebrowser of your web interface:

    • Navigate to your Nitrado Web Interface
    • Now from the dashboard, on the left-hand side, go to Tools > Filebrowser and you will see the server settings.
    • You will need to open the following folders: dayzps_missions > dayzOffline.chernarusplus
      • If you are playing on Livonia, you will need to enter the “dayzOffline.enoch” folder.
    • Now you are where the files can be edited:

    FTP

    The XML files on your server can also be edited manually via FTP. Changes can then be made locally through a text editor.

    Take a look at our helpful wiki page on how to use your FTP:

    File Definitions

    But wait! What does each file do? Below, we have a list of the XML file types and what they do on the server.

    File Description
    cfgEconomyCore.xml used to configure classes included in the central economy, persistence backups, infected dynamic zones, CE logging and updaters.
    cfgenvironment.xml Configuration of the animal herd and their territories.
    cfgeventspawns.xml Used to define positions (and rotation) for certain types of dynamic events (helicrashes, car spawns,..).
    cfglimitsdefinition.xml Contains a definition for tag and category limiters.
    cfglimitsdefinitionuser.xml User definitions for the limiters, defined in cfglimitsdefinition.xml. Usually allows a simpler definitions such as Tier234 and so on (to save space in db ypes.xml file).
