DayZ: mods, mission, RCON and CFTools

How to add mods, upload your own mission and connect the server to CFTools Cloud.

Mods

The server downloads DayZ mods through a service Steam account. The mod list is in "Startup" (Mods) or the "Mods and settings" section. Mod keys (.bikey) must be in the keys folder, otherwise players get kicked with a signature error.

Mission and your own map

A mission is a folder in mpmissions (for example, dayzOffline.chernarusplus). Upload your own mission or an export from editors (DayZ Editor, Architect) to mpmissions over SFTP. You can't run programs (.exe) on the server: run them on your PC and put the finished files on the server.

RCON and CFTools Cloud

RCON is already set up: the port is in the "Network" section, the password in "Startup" → RCON Password. When adding the server on cftools.cloud, enter the IP, game port, RCON port and password.

Ports in serverDZ.cfg

Don't change steamQueryPort by hand: it's set by the panel. Two lines with this parameter in the file cause a "Member already defined" error.
