Underground Triggers

{
"Position": , //world position of the breadcrumb in the world
"EyeAccommodation": 1, //eye accommodation weight of the breadcrumb
"UseRaycast": 0, //should we cast a ray from player to this breadcrumb (if set to 1, this breadcrumb will influence the accommodation only if the trace is successful)
"Radius": -1 //how far in meters is this breadcrumb able to influence player eye accommodation, when set to -1, a default value will be used
}

Ideally, when configuring the world position for Breadcrumbs that use ray-cast, make sure they are raised slightly off the floor( a few cm in Y axis should suffice) in the upwards direction.

📜 GUIDE: Global Server Rules, Mod Policies & Market Standards

αntíquє — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:46:12 +0000

This directory contains essential documentation for server administration, including market guidelines, mod types, configuration settings, and general community rules. Understanding these standards is key to maintaining a fair and stable DayZ environment.

⚖️ 1. General Server Rules & Discord Conduct

A stable community starts with clear expectations. Your server rules should cover:

Player Conduct: Policies on toxicity, stream sniping, and metagaming.
Discord Integration: Syncing in-game actions with Discord logs for transparency.
Staff Transparency: Guidelines for admin tool usage to prevent "Admin Abuse" accusations.

📦 2. Mod Types & Compatibility Configuration

Not all mods are created equal. Use these settings to manage your modlist:

Server-Side vs. Client-Side: Ensure you know which mods require a client download and which remain strictly on the server to save performance.
Mod Load Orders: Proper configuration of your -mod= string to prevent startup crashes.
Conflict Resolution: How to identify two mods trying to modify the same init.c or economy files.

💰 3. Market & Economy Guidelines

If you use mods like TraderPlus or Expansion Market, follow these configuration standards:

Pricing Logic: Ensure high-tier military gear is priced to reflect its rarity in your types.xml.
Stock Limits: Use configuration settings to prevent the market from being flooded with rare items.
Safe Zone Rules: Guidelines for trader camping and vehicle theft in market zones.

🛠️ 4. Technical Configuration Settings

Advanced settings for fine-tuning your server:

Day/Night Cycles: How to configure realistic time speeds for your specific player base.
Stamina & Weight: Adjusting gameplay files to allow for more or less realistic movement.
Loot Clean-up: Setting lifetimes correctly to ensure the server doesn't lag from "dropped loot" clutter.

🗺️ IMPORTANT: Mapping Submission Rules & Installation Guide

αntíquє — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:45:05 +0000

This category is a dedicated shared directory for DayZ Editor files (.json, .map, .dze). Our goal is to provide optimized, high-quality map additions that deliver fast-paced action without compromising server stability.

🛠️ Submission Guidelines (How to Post)

To maintain the quality of our community resources, please follow this template when sharing your creations:

Object Count: Always state the total number of objects. High object counts (1000+) can impact client FPS.
Version: Mention the DayZ version used for the project.
Screenshots: At least one high-quality screenshot of the location is required.
Tested Assets: Only upload files that have been tested on a live server environment and are confirmed to work without issues.

📥 How to Install Editor Files

Depending on the file format, follow these steps to add custom locations to your server:

JSON Files (.json):
- Place the file in your server's appropriate directory.
- Load via DayZ Editor Loader mod or integrate it into your mapgroup.json / cfgeventspawns.xml.
DZE Files (.dze):
- Used specifically for further editing. Open these with the DayZ Editor on your PC before exporting for server use.
Map Files (.map):
- Ensure these are properly referenced in your init.c or server configuration files to ensure objects spawn correctly on restart.

⚠️ Performance & Stability Note

Excessive mapping can lead to server "desync" or client-side lag. We highly recommend optimizing your projects by removing overlapping objects and unnecessary clutter.

📂 Official Asset Submission & Installation Guidelines

αntíquє — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:43:51 +0000

Welcome to the File Downloads & Assets hub. This section is dedicated to high-quality types.xml, spawnabletypes.xml, map exports, and custom script snippets designed to enhance the DayZ experience.

To maintain a professional standard and help fellow server owners, please adhere to the following guidelines before posting or downloading.

🛠️ How to Share Your Assets (Posting Template)

To ensure your contribution is searchable and easy to use, please follow this format:

Tag Your Title: Use prefixes like , , or at the beginning of your topic title.
Version Compatibility: State clearly which DayZ version (e.g., 1.25, 1.26) the asset was tested on.
Visual Proof: For Map Edits or custom UI, at least one screenshot is mandatory.
Download Link: Use reliable hosts such as Google Drive, GitHub, or Mega.

📥 Installation Guide for Beginners

If you are new to server hosting, here is how to integrate these assets:

XML Files: Merge the content of the downloaded types.xml into your server’s existing file located in the db folder. Always take a backup before replacing!
Map Exports (.json): These can be imported via the DayZ Editor or added to your mapgroup.json / cfgeventspawns.xml depending on the object type.
Script Snippets: Usually inserted into your init.c file. Ensure you place the code within the correct function (e.g., main() or StartingEquipSetup).

⚠️ Safety & Performance Warnings

Syntax Check: A single missing bracket in an XML file can break your entire loot economy. Always use an XML Validator before restarting your server.
Server Performance: Large map edits (1000+ objects) can cause client-side FPS drops. Please mention the object count in your post.

Why You Should Enable Steam Family Sharing Block

αntíquє — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:04:17 +0000

One of the easiest ways for cheaters to return after a ban is through "Family Sharing" accounts.

The Problem: A player gets banned on their main account but creates a new "Free" account and shares their library to keep playing on your server.
The Fix: Use a server-side script or a mod like CF to check if a player is using a shared account.
Command: Many admin panels have a simple toggle: BlockFamilySharing: true. Enabling this forces cheaters to buy the game again on a new account, which significantly reduces the number of repeat offenders on your server.

How to Block "Underground Bases" and "Wall Glitching"

αntíquє — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:03:57 +0000

Cheaters often try to build bases under the map or glitch through walls using vehicles.

The "Build Anywhere" Trap: If you use "Build Anywhere" mods, ensure you have the DisableUndergroundBuilding flag set to 1.
Vehicle Collision: A common exploit involves using a car to push a player through a wall. You can prevent this by adding "No-Build Zones" around critical military buildings in your mapgroup.json.
The Solution: We recommend using the "Build Anywhere v2" mod specifically because it includes built-in anti-glitch checks that the vanilla game lacks.
