Contents
Step 1 Subscribe to mods
First you have to subscribe to the mods you want in Steam.
To do this, go to the page of the mod you want to use and click on Subscribe.
Once you have subscribed to all the mods you want, start your game once to download all the mods.
You will find your mods in the following directory:
..\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\221100\
You will find this folder on the same hard drive where you installed DayZ.
The name of the folder is the WorkshopID of the respective mod.
So for Community Framework this would be 1559212036
.
Step 2 Rename mod folder
Before you can upload your mods, the folders need to be renamed first.
It is recommended to create a new folder and copy the desired mods into it first.
Name this folder for example My DayZ Server or something similar.
Then create a folder with the name keys
( case sensitive ! ) in the folder you just created.
You can copy the keyfiles of the respective mod into this folder and then upload them together later.
Then copy the downloaded mods into this folder and rename them.
- Rename
1559212036
to@CF
. - Rename
1590841260
to@Trader
. - Rename
1560819773
to@UnlimitedStamina
. - Rename
1582756848
to@Zomberry
.
Tip: The actual name is freely selectable, the only important thing is that it is preceded by @.
Now copy the keyfiles ( *.bikey ) that you find in the keys folder of the respective mod into the keys
folder created above.
Tip: Some mods share the same keyfile, so if you are asked if you want to overwrite a file, you can do so without hesitation.
Step 3 Upload mods
- Stop your server. The status of your server must be
Server not running
! - Connect with your FTP program to the Upload FTP.
You can find the login data in the FTP overview by clicking on FTP. - Upload the renamed folders of the mods as well as the
keys
folder to the following directory:/KonfigID/
Note: The ConfigID or configuration ID for your server can be found on our page under Gameserver.
If your ConfigID was e.g. 123456 it would look like this:/123456/
With this your mods are uploaded, the mod Trader however is special.
In the folder of this mod is the folder ServerProfileFolder
.
The contents of this folder must be uploaded to the Saves FTP.
- Connect to the Saves FTP using your FTP program.
- Then upload the
Trader
folder to the following directory:/KonfigID/profile
.
Therefore, please always read the installation instructions of the respective mod carefully.
Some mods, just like the Trader mod, have files or folders that need to be uploaded to the Saves FTP in the profile
folder.
Step 4 Activate mods
The mods are uploaded, but in order for the server to start with them, you need to enter them in our webinterface.

In Basic Mode you enter the mods under Mods (Manual Installation via FTP).
In our example it looks like this:@CF;@Trader;@UnlimitedStamina@;@Zomberry;
.

If your folder is called @MyMod
you have to enter @MyMod; accordingly.
Once you have entered your mods, click on Save and start your server.
