Uploading Maps in DayZ

Important: You must use an FTP client such as FileZilla or WinSCP.

FileZilla: https://filezilla-project.org/
Important: Set the transfer mode to Binary in FileZilla. To do this, click Transfer → Transfer type → Binary.
WinSCP: https://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Uploading the map

Stop your server. Its status must be Server not running.
Connect to the Gameserver FTP using your FTP program. You can find the login details in the FTP overview by clicking FTP.
Open the following folder in the Gameserver FTP:
/mpmissions/
Upload the complete map folder directly into this folder. The folder must not be placed inside an additional subfolder.

Selecting the map in Basic Mode

If your server is in Basic Mode, click Map Cycle in the Game section on the left side of the web interface. You will find an input field on the right.
Enter the name of your map folder.
Example: If the folder is called dayzOffline.chernarusplus, enter dayzOffline.chernarusplus.
Click + and move the map to the top of the list in the right-hand panel using drag and drop.

Selecting the map in Advanced Mode

If your server is in Advanced Mode, click serverDZ.cfg in the Configuration files section on the left side of the web interface.
In the text editor, scroll to the class Missions section.
Enter the name of your map folder for template:
```
class Missions {
    template = "dayzOffline.chernarusplus";
};
```
Important: The name entered must exactly match the name of the map folder. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Map folder naming

A DayZ map is an open folder and normally uses the following name:

<mission name>.<internal map name>

Examples of valid folder names are:

dayzOffline.chernarusplus
dayzOffline.enoch

The mission name before the dot can generally be chosen freely. What matters is the internal map name used by the DayZ engine after the dot. For Chernarus this is chernarusplus, and for Livonia it is enoch. The displayed map name may differ from this.

Example: Custom map and event missions

If you want to use your own map changes permanently, copy the complete dayzOffline.chernarusplus folder and rename it to dayzOfflineCustom.chernarusplus. Then edit the required files in this folder, for example the loot configuration in the db subfolder or event configuration files such as cfgeventspawns.xml and cfgeventgroups.xml.

Upload the dayzOfflineCustom.chernarusplus folder directly to /mpmissions/ and enter this exact name in Map Cycle or as the template in serverDZ.cfg:

class Missions {
    template = "dayzOfflineCustom.chernarusplus";
};

The server will now load your changes from this custom mission, and they will remain active after a server restart. Always edit the files in your custom mission rather than the unchanged standard mission.

The official GitHub repository by Bohemia Interactive also contains ready-made event missions. Examples include ChristmasOffline.ChernarusPlus and WalpurgisNightOffline.ChernarusPlus. Upload the complete folder of the event mission you want to use to /mpmissions/ and enter its exact folder name in Map Cycle or as the template. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
