pov: you have 40 mods and you hear that you need to copy every single key from them

If anybody is wondering why some of their mods aren't in the Workshop directory, you need to load them through the DayZ client first

Recommend a numbering system for these like episodes to have a path on setting up my local server with mods and custom areas. Love your work, thank you.
If anyone is having any troubles with missing PBO's or whatever, just remove the Dash from the mod string instead of "-mod=@Esseker;@Unlimited-Stamina" do "-mod=@Esseker;@Unlimited Stamina"

Thanks mate im not good in english language but german videos about this wasnt help like yours. u doing good job
Found your videos this last week just amazing but I was wondering if you have a video of adding a friend to a lan server?
Mate, this video helped my immensely. Thanks!!
Thanks man! Really helped me a bunch!
Thank you boss-man!
I follow exactly what you did but when I try and join it says I have mods that the server doesn', (unlimited stamina), and right under that it says I'm trying to load with unlimited stamina.
You have to edit the XML files to add items in your server
MY biggest issue is when click “start” I’m getting an error that’s says “(name of mod)”add on requires RPC scrips” idk how to fix that
If you add expansion, do I need to add all the guns ect to the XML files?
I love how l4d you can just press subscribe and that’s the end of it

Great video, I followed your guide but not I’m not sure but some of the mods say their installed but I can see them on my server ?
Does it also activate the mod if you put the mentioned line in the steamui startup config?
I have a dozen mods that I want to run on my single player server. How do I add those in the note++? I copied the keys in the appropriate folder but I am lost after that step.
@scalespeeder gaming how do you install your servers file or where can i find that to copy the mods too ?

Just got a question that im unsure of, but is it possible to take mods from steam and inject them (to put it crudely) into a nitrado server or are mods only for lan based servers or am I just stupid, thanks in advance
'PLEASE HELP" where do I find my own dayz nitrado server on my pc. I looked in the same directory as you did and only found the base files. I just setuup my new server but I can't find it in my pc.
thank you
do you need to create the batch file or should there already be one? you did not say?
How do i find the batch files
you should definitely do a all-in-one video from start to finish how to start your own local server with mods in one video so I and many more people can do it in one shot because I can't save my progress on offline mode so I'm hoping that you could help by making a video showing us all how to just start our own servers so we can save our progress. because sometimes you just like to play the game solo without loosing everything if you know what I mean LOL

@@letrface_8596I know it’s a late reply but offline mode is made as more of a testing space for server owners I believe. I think because of that it makes more sense to wipe everything you’ve tested every time you open it up but I could be completely wrong.

i did exact same but the unlimited stamina isnt with my other mods , its said its sub and did a download just cant see it. i even search my pc drives for "unlimited stamina" etc. i alo see ppl in the mod comments asking if they can unpack it, not sure if that mean anything

ive gotten everything done but i cant find those bat files my mods show up in the start up but when i go in toplay it says datal error and shows the mods saying that the server doesnt have them i cant seem to get the server to see the mods even after following your videos as well as other
i recommend re doing your whole series i can barely see the small text and all of them seem to be in 720p

@Scalespeeder Gaming Could you make a mod on how to set up Admin tools for a Local Server?
If someone can help I downloaded a mod and inside there is a scripts folder and a .cpp file. I have no idea where to put them since there are no instructions on the mod page. Inside the scripts folder there is another folder called "4_world"
I have a problem : when I start thé server without mods it works but when I add all my mods and start the server, the bat file opens the cmd and starts DayZ server with all the ticked boxes but the last 2, and then DayZ server closes automatically After 2-3 seconds and the server doesn't start
i dont have a !workshop folder and ive played with mods? what do i do?
I can not find the batch file for the life of me
Thanks for the video!! I was able to install all the MODs I wanted... BUT... there is one that I'm find it hard to make it work, CODE LOCK. I already added it's key into the server keys folder, added the type xml so the CodeLock spawns and offcourse added the name of the mod into my bat file, but when trying to enter in the game the mod's name shows only as @Code and don't work. Any trick on Code Lock?
i cant paste the mods into the dayz server file form the workeshop file
When Im looking in my Dayz Server folder, I dont see any batch files. Does anyone know what is going on?
So much of these folders i simply dont have idk what i missed when doing my LAN sever
Mine has the mods marked as grey, saying its unknown. any fix?
My biggest problem with creating my own server is the fact that VERY RARELY will the modders write the "Types" and "cfgspawnables" code properly. Ive spent hours basically fixing every error to get the "types" to work after adding their code. so frustrating and time consuming, would be great if i could just copy and paste the code but nope, half of the mods I basically re-write the code myself again in working order. XML Validators and stuff don't work at all so idk.

@@kingsyco53rd75 dude if you wanna learn how to write code, go to school. If you have no idea what you’re doing and you don’t know how to write code I do not recommend trying to start your own server because if it’s not plug-in play, you will not be able to do it. You will literally spend months, trying to get less than a dozen mods working and they won’t be working properly. The biggest problem that a lot of people run into as soon as they start modeling Dayz is even if they get the mods installed it breaks the rest of the game. They add guns, but then the weapon spawn across the map is completely broken and nothing spawns properly I’m telling you man Daisy is not an easy modify. If you’re looking at these types of videos, you really probably have no business trying to moderate yourself just pay somebody to run in your server. So either go to school or learn how to code, and then have an understanding on how to mod games, or find somebody who knows how to do this already, and hire them to set up your server and manage it for you
I don’t have a workshop folder. Is there some way to remedy this?
So where exactly am i copying from? And where exactly do i copy to? That part is completely confusinng
Good video and most steps work. But for some reason my server files don't have any form of start related batch files, so I can't get the server to read the mods at all.

You don't have the DayzServerChernarus because that's what he named his local server when he created it. You're not looking for that folder, you're looking for whatever you called your local server when you set it up. For example dayzserverchernarus is what his local Sever (offline single player server) is called. Mine is called Ryan's Server. Just choose yours and continue to follow the steps

How can i play with friends on my local server ?
i dont have any bat files in my server folder?
Uh.. Yeah the "!workshop" file is not there. I have 3 mods Downloaded. I'm not new to Arma modding but I am new to Dayz EDIT: Yeah no, not there. I mean it is there, I can open it through the client when I go to the mods, and then the folder is there, but if I back out of it it takes me to the Dayz.EXE folder with the file now gone. I've tried %Appdata% but it isn't there either. I am on Win11 so this is probably so crap they've done. So If you are forced to use the shitshow of win11 like me then you have to find it through the client. EDIT2: Nope, fixed it, you have to make the Dayz folder hidden then unhide it again, then it will appear, !workshop is set to hidden by default.
