Is it possible to play Singleplayer/Offline Mode with Mods?
Mods like in the Steam Workshop. BuildAnywhere, MoreGuns etc.

There's something I want to try out in Base Building but it wouldn't work with Vanilla DayZ since you can't place Fence Kits where ever you want.

If it's possible, can someone explain me how to do that in a step by step kinda way?

Thanks

Do it like makinga normal modded server, but just skip the port forwarding part.

Run a local server, In your Steam library go to the Tools tab.
Install DayZ Server.

After it is installed right click it and select Properties then Launch Options, type this in there:
-config=serverDZ.cfg

Start DayZ server from Steam, wait for it to initialize, then start DayZ from steam and your server should be listed on the LAN tab, by default it will be called "EXAMPLE NAME"

Right Click on DayZ Server on Steam > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files.
This is your servers root/installation directory, you can open serverDZ.cfg and edit the server name etc.

You will generally find instructions on how to install mods on their workshop pages.

It usually involves copying the @workshopmod folder to your servers root directory, copying the keys folder from inside @workshopmod to the keys folder in your server root/keys directory and adding the mods to your servers launch paramaters for example:

-config=serverDZ.cfg -profiles=profiles -mod=@CF;@Community-Online-Tools

Installation can vary from mod to mod though.

Then you would start the server, start DayZ with the mods you need with DayZ Launcher (Right click DayZ on Steam, Run DayZ Launcher) select the mods you need and hit play / join your server.

search DayzOfflineMod, download it and move the folder inside the folder mpmission. Edit the bat file and add on the longest line -mod: @The.mod.you.want, save and click on this bat file. Game will start in offline mod, but you can't save, i am sorry.

If I run a local server does that mean it's like every other server but only for me or what? And can I save stuff on that Server for testing purposes?

Yes would work just like a normal server except only for you, however you would probably need a different mission then the community offline mode as that one doesn't seem to have persistence

Yes it's exactly like any other server in the server browser, the only difference is it's only visible to you unless you open some ports so others can connect. You can save stuff on the server.
