Enhancing the Apocalypse

Installing mods on DayZ requires more than just uploading files. You must also authorize the mod’s security signatures to allow players to connect without being kicked.

Installation Workflow

  1. Upload: Use an SFTP client to upload the @ModName folder to the server root.
    • Tip: Avoid spaces in folder names. Use underscores: @More_Guns.
  2. Authorize: Open the mod folder, navigate to the Keys subdirectory, and copy the .bikey file.
  3. Move Keys: Paste the .bikey into the server’s root /keys/ folder.
  4. Activate: Add the folder name to your panel’s startup parameters, separated by semicolons (e.g., @CF;@VPPAdminTools;@More_Guns).

​
Mods vs. ServerMods

  • -mod=: These files must be downloaded by the player to join (Guns, Maps).
  • -servermod=: These are server-side only (Admin Tools, Logging). Using this for admin mods speeds up the “Wait for Mods” screen for your players.
