Step 1: Find Mod IDs

Subscribe to mods on Steam. Each mod has a workshop ID.

Step 2: Set Mods in Startup

In the panel Startup tab, find the Mods field. Use the format:

@CF;@CommunityOnlineTools;@Namalsk Survival;@Namalsk Island

(Mod names prefixed with @, semicolon-separated)

Step 3: Upload Mod Files

DayZ doesn't auto-download mods like some other Workshop-based games. You need to either:

• Use DayZSALauncher or SteamCMD locally to download the workshop content, then upload to the server's mod folders
• Use your panel's workshop integration (if your egg supports auto-download via Workshop IDs)

The folder structure on the server:

@CF/                       (Community Framework, required by many mods)
  addons/
  config.cpp
@CommunityOnlineTools/
  addons/
  config.cpp
@Namalsk Survival/
  ...

Step 4: types.xml and Other Mission Files

Many mods require updates to the mission's types.xml (which controls item spawns), cfgspawnabletypes.xml, and other XML files in mpmissions/<mission_template>/.

For a Namalsk server, you'd:

1. Upload the Namalsk mission template to mpmissions/.
2. Set the template field in serverDZ.cfg to dayzOffline.namalsk (or whatever the mission folder is named).
3. Apply mod-specific XML edits.

Step 5: Sign and Verify

verifySignatures = 2 requires all mod content to be signed. Workshop mods are signed by default. If you sideload a mod, you may need to allow it via serverkeys/.

Upload each mod's key/ or keys/ folder contents to the server's keys/ folder.

Step 6: Restart

The server loads mods at boot. Check the console for each mod's banner. Players must subscribe to the same mods on their client; DayZSALauncher handles this for them.
