Uploading Custom Maps to Your DayZ Server

Subscribe on Steam Workshop

Subscribe to the map on Steam. For this example: Melkart_Official Steam Workshop.

Download the Server Files

Find server files to download. For example, Melkart_Official Server Files. Select the version you want (e.g., Melkart1.25.rar) and click the download icon.

Extract the Files

Extract the downloaded contents. You should now see a folder like empty.melkart.

Stop Your Server

Access the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your DayZ server.

Upload the Map Folder

Upload empty.melkart to the mpmissions folder on your server.

Install the Map as a Mod

Export and upload a modlist.html to your server, following our Installing DayZ Mods guide.

Stop Your Server

Access the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your DayZ server.

Edit the Server Config

Go to Files and open serverDZ.cfg. Scroll down and edit template= to empty.melkart.

Save and Start

Click Save and then start your server.

Here is what your serverDZ.cfg should look like:

class Missions
{
    class DayZ
    {
        template="empty.melkart"; // Mission to load on server startup.
                      // Vanilla mission: dayzOffline.chernarusplus
                      // DLC mission: dayzOffline.enoch
    };
};

📝 Note: You can follow the same format for other custom maps from the Steam Workshop. Always remember to follow any instructions the map author may include. The template= name is the name of the map folder uploaded to mpmissions on your server. The naming scheme is officially <MissionName>.<TerrainName>.
