I have several mods, for my own private server, that i run from my own computer.
I also can edit the loot spawn, make it appear more, or less, what ever i decide.
I can make it as easy as i want, or as hard as i want, but atleast it will not have any bandit players that just shoot new players for the heck of it.
I stopped a long time with dayz, because of the bandits, now im back and im having a ton of fun playing dayz on my own

How do you run your own server. Someone mentioned Day Z Tools; which I found on the store page, but I can't find a way to run them... buy them... install them... or ????

Bottomline is: I'd like to play Single Player, and it seems running a private server is the way to go.

Advanced Thanx for any / all help!!!

This should get you started:

It explains visually how to start your own server, but you also require a custom bat file for mods etc, you can find it easily on youtube. Thats how i got it done.

The mods i use are so awesome, more guns, lots of more food, and i mean more vehicles, like a buggy, nissan skyline gtr etc its pretty awesome, having your own server to be honest

You can run it on your own PC if it's decent hardware. This is the only guide I used and it worked great.

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

You won't have to do that again.

Go to where the server files installed in steam and find \DayZServer\serverDZ.cfg
Open it with notepad and change the name of the server to what ever you want, change day/night length etc... save the file.

Just start the server from Steam like you would a game... wait for it to say init sequence finished then just start DayZ from Steam like you normaly would. When in the game select change server then go to the LAN tab and play on your private server that you named.

If you want to save a backup of the server just copy the storage_1 folder somewhere else to recover from later.

To reset the server delete all the files in the data folder: \DayZServer\mpmissions\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\storage_1\data\

To delete/start a fresh character delete the players.db file under storage_1 folder:
\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\storage_1\players.db

Later on if you want to play with mods on your sever you can right click DayZ game in your library and use the Dayz Launcher to add mods.

Hope it helps someone.
Have a pleasant 2019 all.

This worked like a charm!!!

My server, single player (because nobody else in my friendslist wants to play DayZ, because it´s "sooooo bad" xD), less para-military Z-shooter. more a surviving the elements kind of game play:

@CF
@DayZ-Expansion-Notifications
@BetterInspect
@BuildAnywhere
@BulletStacksPlusPlus
@Summer_Chernarus
@Mass'sManyItemOverhaul
@VanillaPlusPlusMap
@GoreZ
@MunghardsItempack
@LittleQuieter
@BaseBuildingPlus
@Airdrop-Upgraded
@Survivor Missions
@Treasure
@MedicalAttention
@LeatherCrafting

Next step for me is replacing the Z´s with wolves and bears, makes it more realistic and a bit harder. The server is always a WIP, too make it more survival and less only killing Z´s or eventually other players xD

hi, i enjoyed the free weekender, (with online multiplayer) - but also like practising offline too.

ive been playing with the DayZ.Community.OfflineMode.zip - and it works really really well...
it doesnt need the dayz server (on steam), but i cant seem to save any progress when i exit the game :)

its fun for a few hours here and there, but maybe i do need the dayz server?

when i run steam, and launch the dayz server to run my own local one, it looks like it tries to connect to batle eye (which it shouldnt really since i just want to play offline, but even so, i cant seem to get it to accept the MoreFood mod..

i have added the types/spawnables into the xml, and when i have run the offlinemode.zip mod, i see the more food mod info + livonia (only livonia has a green square icon next to it).

(basically i would like to be able to add some mods, and launch the game with mods but without using any launchers.. (because they crash) :)
so far i try to launch with this:
F:\Steam_LIB\steamapps\common\DayZ\DayZ_x64.exe -mod=@MoreFood;

(i really wish adding mods was like 7dtd, where we just extract a mod into a folder, and the 'game itself" would ideally just load and merge the contents, like that game or rimworld :)

Just play the game and die a lot. It's how you're supposed to learn, FFS.
pgames-food Feb 24, 2020 @ 1:22pm 
yeah i do play on an online server, but sometimes computer or net is slow and laggy, so theres always a case for playing offline sometimes too :)
