Changing the Map

  1. Stop your server
  2. Install the map mod if community map (add to -mod= and copy bikeys)
  3. Upload the mission folder to mpmissions/
  4. Edit serverDZ.cfg — change the template:
class Missions
{
    class DayZ
    {
        template = "dayzOffline.enoch";
    };
};
  1. Start the server

📝 Note: Each map has its own separate persistence data in mpmissions/<template>/storage_1/. Switching maps doesn't delete other maps' saves.
