How to configure a DayZ server
Server config
- Hostname = Name of your server e.g Byteania Test server
- Slots = how many players your server can hold
- Game password = The password users would use to enter your server (leave plank if you don’t want your server to require one)
- Ingame Admin password = the vanilla admin password required to run vanilla commands (I recommend using something strong)
- Server time = Every time your server restarts it will default to the time you put in this box
- Mission = Map
- Time acceleration = The ratio of IRL time to in game time
- Night acceleration = same as above but it applies to night (also stacks with above)
- Time persistence = saves time on server restart (only works if you leave server time blank)
- 3PP = toggle third person perspective
- Crosshair = Toggle crosshair
- VOIP = toggle voice chat
- Save building states = toggle building state e.g if player leaves a building door open it will save on restart
- Storage auto fix dayz = toggle for Checks if some files are corrupted and replaces corrupted ones with empty one
- Debug Monitor = Used to track statistics in game
- Force same update = makes sure all players are on the same game version
- Disable personal light = Personal light is the blue shade surrounding your char at night 1= on 0=off
- Enable whitelist = If users are required to be added to the whitelist file to join the servers
- Guaranteed Updates = protocol used with game server
- lightingConfig = // 0 for brighter night, 1 for darker night
- logFPS = how many seconds it will log fps
- logfile = The file the DayZ server logs to (Personally I would leave as default)
- loginQueueConcurrentPlayers = The number of players concurrently processed during the login process.
- loginQueueMaxPlayers = Max amount of people who can queue
- multithreadedReplication = Leave as default unless you know what you are doing
- VerifySignatures = Verifies .pbos against .bisign files. (only 2 is supported) same as above
- vonCodecQuality = Voice quality, the higher the better (values 0-30) Optional Parameters

e.g respawnTime
- Omega Instance
- Auto Start = when omega starts server will also start
- Rotate Logs = I assume it means save storage so you don’t have a massive backlog of logs
- LogPath = The folder the logs will go to
- PreExecutionScript = Allows the user to run other scripts or commands e.g running BEC (Battleeye extended controls)
- TimeLimit = How long the script is allowed to run
- Full path to script = Self explanatory
- Keep logs = Self explanatory
- Backups = Self explanatory
- Server = Keep as is unless you know what you are doing
- Process = Keep as is unless you know what you are doing
- Updater = You can hook this up to a discord webhook to show your players when mods on the server update
