Change the Map

Stop the server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.

Install the map mod (community maps only)

For community maps, install the mod first — add to -mod= in Startup and copy the .bikey files. See Mod Setup.

Upload the mission folder to the mpmissions/ directory via Files.

Edit serverDZ.cfg

Click Files in the sidebar and open serverDZ.cfg. Change the template in the Missions block:

class Missions
{
    class DayZ
    {
        template = "dayzOffline.enoch";
    };
};

Replace with the template value for your map from the tables above.

Save and start

Click Save Content and start from Console.

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