Install DayZ Server Files from tools on steam.
Install Notepad++

Navigate to download location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer

Create a new text file and name it start.bat (remove the .txt), open it, paste the following start parameters and save.

@echo off cls set watch=DayZ Server title %watch% Watchdog cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer" :watchdog echo (%time%) %watch% started. start "DayZ Server" /wait "DayZServer_x64.exe" -config=serverDZ.cfg -port=2302 -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck echo (%time%) %watch% closed or crashed, restarting. goto watchdog

Open up serverDZ.cfg and edit it to your preferences, has settings for servername, max player, password etc.

Navigate into the battleye folder, create a file called BEServer_x64.cfg paste and edit the following:

RConPassword changeme

Run start.bat to start the server.

That's pretty much it for getting a barebones server setup, you should be able to join it via the LAN tab, typing in your server or networks IP address followed by the port; like 127.0.0.1:2302

For external play you will need to open ports 2302-2305 as well as 27016 (if you want it to show up on server browser)

i did what you suggested and if i leave the rcon password blank the server will start up but if i put a password in there then i get back to the 32 bit intger error i also opened the ports that was suggested as well

You can use Dart or BEC, probably some other rcon tools too. I haven't tried them yet.

I think you need to add RestrictRCon 0 to BEServer_x64.cfg if using them.

I have no idea why you can't move.

For external play you will need to open ports 2302-2305

Once you do this people will be able to connect via IP.

You need to open up 27016 (if you want it to show up on server browser under community tab)

An easy way to check if it's visible to others is to check it on DayZSpy, if it's showing there, then it's visible to others in-game.

Just replace the current spawn points in cfgplayerspawnpoints.xml

Pro tip: If you start your server with enableDebugMonitor = 1; in the config then you will get a debug monitor up at the top right of your player screen when you log in, complete with your current map position. Then you can run around the map and write down coords for places you want there to be spawns and then add them to the spawns list.

yeah i spawned but i spawned on the island i want to respawn but i cant figure out how is there a way as admin to kill my character?

Easiest way is to wipe the whole server

Go to mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/storage_0 & delete players.db
