Stopyour DayZ server. - 2Go to
File Manager. - 3Open
serverDZ.cfg. - 4Scroll down and edit
template=toempty.melkart. - 5Click Save and then start your server.
Here's what your serverDZ.cfg should now look like:
class Missions
{
class DayZ
{
template="empty.melkart"; // Mission to load on server startup. <MissionName>.<TerrainName>
// Vanilla mission: dayzOffline.chernarusplus
// DLC mission: dayzOffline.enoch
};
};
You can follow the same format for other custom maps from the Steam Workshop. However, always remember to follow any instructions that the map author may include.
The template= name is the name of the map folder uploaded to mpmissions on your server. The naming scheme for this is officially <MissionName>.<TerrainName>.
