DayZ Modding Wiki#

A mirror of the StarDZ Team community wiki. I did not write this - read the caveats below before acting on any of it.

Read this first#

The upstream project describes its current state as pre alpha, and it is assembled with AI assistance. It is broad and often useful. It is not authoritative. Two problems I hit directly:

• The serverDZ.cfg chapter documents 25 parameters and omits several real ones, including steamQueryPort, motd, respawnTime, timeStampFormat and allowFilePatching. Treat its lists as partial.
• Day and night cycle maths on community sources is frequently wrong. Check my own DayZ server notes for the corrected formula.

Verify anything here against dzconfig.com/wiki/serverdz or the mod’s own repository before you change a live server.

Updating the mirror#

The wiki is a git submodule pinned to a reviewed commit, so it never changes under you. To move it forward:

git -C StaticishSite/external/DayZ-Modding-Wiki fetch origin
git -C StaticishSite/external/DayZ-Modding-Wiki checkout <commit>
git add StaticishSite/external/DayZ-Modding-Wiki

Update the pinned commit in the table above in the same change.
