Just got a Vanilla Dayz mod server. Looking to set up full moon nights, increase chopper count, and nerf the zombies a bit. No idea where to start at all, any help would be appreciated.

I work with FileZilla to download the files, open with PBO manager and make the sqf changings with Notepad++


full moon

In your mission file (ex dayz_1.namalsk)

 

In your init.sqf you can find this:

dayz_fullMoonNights = true;

 

or

open the file OPTIONS
open the Epochconfig.sqf
there you find:

//Enable full moon nights by setting this to true. (Default: false)
dayz_fullMoonNights = true;

You can also change day/night settings in the control panel.


increase choppers

you need to find your dynamic_vehicle.sqf
This you normally can find in the server pbo file
open the missions file and there it should be.
In this file you find the vehicles spawned by the server with the amount.

ex: ["UH1Y_DZE",2],

The server spawns 2 UH1Y_DZE helis.
You can uncomment this line for 0 UH1Y helis or 1 to spawn only 1 heli of this type


For the zombies I have no idea sorry.

Thanks man! When I try to download my .pbo they are only 1KB?

hmm yes 1 KB is not much, mine is now -with lots of extra scripts and customised loading screen about 1900kb.

What exactly are you trying to do with the zombies? Nerf doesn't give detail. Do you want faster, slower, harder hitting? Messing around with zombies isn't that easy.
