DaemonForges MapLink Hive Setup Guide for DayZ Multi-Map Servers Zenarchist 2025-05-10 | ➡️ Workshop Link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3478983598➡️ DaemonForge Universal API Software: github.com/DaemonForge/DayZ-UniveralApi/releases➡️ MongoDB Download: mongodb.com/try/download/community➡️ DaemonForge Github: github.com/DaemonForge➡️ DaemonForge Discord: discord.gg/SkUkPv4This mod allows server admins to link multiple maps together in a "hive", where players can move between maps with their characters and loot like you can on certain official servers.The player is required to travel to a "transfer terminal" to initiate the map transfer (ie. a boat, helicopter, computer object etc placed with DayZ Editor).I did not create this mod: I've simply updated and repacked it for use with DayZ 1.28, fixed a bunch of error log messages and recorded a detailed video guide on how to set the whole thing up.All credit goes to DaemonForge who is the original creator of this mod.Here is his original YouTube demonstration of MapLink: youtube.com/watch?v=0gMkOCxlQNAHere is the link to the Universal API Web Service installer which you will require to run this mod: github.com/DaemonForge/DayZ-UniveralApi/releasesHere is the link to the DaemonForge UAPI wiki: github.com/daemonforge/DayZ-UniveralApi/wikiHere is the link to DaemonForge's UAPI installation guide: youtu.be/oMq3TIYuZXoInstallation Instructions:Install this mod like any other mod (there are many guides out there) - copy it into your server folder and add it to your server mods list. It must be run on both server and client. Make sure to copy the .bikey into your server keys.Follow the guides above to set the mod up.NOTE: In the video I state that I thought respawning on the same server you travel to was bugged (ie. you couldn't make it so transferring from Chernarus to Livonia and dying in Livonia allowed you to respawn in Livonia and not back on Chernarus) - this is wrong.It's easy to set it up so the player can respawn on whatever server they travel to, just make the respawn server the same server - eg: "Name": "Chernarus", "Map": "chernarusplus", "IP": "127.0.0.1", "Port": 2302, "QueryPort": 27016, "Password": "", "RespawnServer": "Chernarus" "Name": "Livonia", "Map": "enoch", "IP": "127.0.0.1", "Port": 2402, "QueryPort": 27017, "Password": "", "RespawnServer": "Livonia" "Name": "Sakhal", "Map": "sakhal", "IP": "127.0.0.1", "Port": 2502, "QueryPort": 27018, "Password": "", "RespawnServer": "Sakhal"Credit:All credit goes to DaemonForge: I simply tidied up his mod for the latest 1.28 DayZ codebase. Check out his original mod code (and download the required API webservice installer) on his GitHub: UniversalAPI - github.com/DaemonForge/DayZ-UniveralApiMapLink - github.com/DaemonForge/DayZ-MapLinkRepack & Source Code:You can repack this mod if you like, and do anything else you want with it for that matter. Just make sure to abide by DaemonForge's original license obligations and keep in mind my future updates won't be applied so make sure to check back for new versions if you notice any bugs.

Zens DayZ Music Mod Zenarchist 2025-01-22 | DayZ Workshop Link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3412251200This DayZ mod adds music cassettes to the game, along with a boombox, a walkman, and the ability to play music in cars.My mod comes with a few copyright-free classical music tracks and some of my own music, but you will have to add your own music cassettes if you want to expand the list.The good news is this is pretty easy to do - there is a guide on my GitHub: github.com/ZenarchistCode/ZenModPack/wiki/Zen's-Music-ModUnlike other music mods on the workshop, playing music with this mod will sync to all clients (so if you drive up to a player or a player logs in mid-song, they'll hear what you're hearing).#dayz #modding #dayzstandalone

Zens Enormous Package | A DayZ Mod Pack Zenarchist 2024-07-14 | Modpack: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3288979834Guide: github.com/ZenarchistCode/ZenModPack/wikiSource code: github.com/ZenarchistCode/ZenModPack/tree/masterThis is a mod pack containing 36+ of my stable and up-to-date mods.These mods either don't affect game mechanics in a major way (ie. ZenSleep & ZenVirus are not included), or if the mod does affect game mechanics then it comes with a server-side config to turn them on or off as desired in %server_profile/Zenarchist/ZenModPack.jsonThis pack contains the latest versions of my best mods, with all bugfixes/improvements applied.These improvements may or may not be applied to the standalone versions of my mods due to lack of time to maintain everything, so if you use a lot of my mods then I recommended using this modpack instead of the individual repacked mods and just turn off the mods you don't want active in the Master Config.This is another reason why I made this modpack - to keep all my mods organized and in one place. This modpack is designed to be as efficient as possible, so even if you only enable half the mods in this pack it should not impact client or server performance much at all.This modpack also includes a #define ZENMODPACK so you can use #ifdef ZENMODPACK to detect/override things if required, or if you know what you're doing as a modder you can just modify the source code and repack my mod.I recommend installing this mod on a fresh wipe given the size of content and features, but that's not a requirement. Removing this mod "may" require a wipe - in my testing it didn't cause any issues, but again, given the complexity I recommend waiting for your routine server wipe before adding or removing this pack just to be safe.If you do decide to add or remove this mod mid-wipe, make sure to backup your server's persistent storage folder first typically found in %server_root%/mpmissions/dayzOffline.map/storage_1 so you can restore it if any major problems occur.Credit:This pack also includes ViewInventory mod made by affenb3rt, modified to hard-code client-only config.And WeatherPresets also by affenb3rt, modified to add weighted chance.EarPlugs & AutoRun is based on code originally written by Daemonforge.My treasure photo mod is inspired by Hunterz mod, but his mod lacked features I needed, so I made my own version of that same idea.Credit to SpaceCat for some ideas and bugfixing suggestions over the past few months (and players on my server).Credit to Expansion team and Syberia Project team - I learned a lot from studying their code.Credit to any 3D model authors - check individual mods for specific credit and links to their work/licenses.Credit to the DayZ modding community as a whole - learned everything I know from studying other people's open-source mods and Discord discussions.#dayz #modding #mod
