General Setup - ZenarchistCode/ZenModPack GitHub Wiki
This modpack requires Community Framework mod to work.
Click here for a guide on how my modpack's JSON and XML config works.
The first thing I recommend doing is setting up a custom types.xml
folder structure to keep all my mod entries separate from other mods and vanilla config.
The way to do this is easy, just open this file:
%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/cfgeconomycore.xml
And add this code to it underneath the </defaults>
tag:
<ce folder="db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist"> <file name="types.xml" type="types" /> <file name="events.xml" type="events" /> <file name="cfgspawnabletypes.xml" type="spawnabletypes" /> </ce>
Then create this folder structure: %server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist
And either paste in the XML files from this example XML config, or create these two text files and add the types in separately for each mod you plan to use:
%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist/types.xml
%server_folder/mpmissions/map_name/db/CustomTypes/Zenarchist/cfgspawnabletypes.xml
This will keep all my mod's types entries separate from other mods + the vanilla XMLs.
For those new to server admin, you can do this for any mod's types.xml
and you can even split up the vanilla types.xml to separate food/ammo/weapons etc to keep things better organized.
The JSON config files for each mod will be automatically generated the first time you start your server with my modpack installed.
You can view my personal server's JSON config setup by clicking here if you want to use them for reference or just copy & paste my server config.
There's a lot to learn and tweak with these mods, but I've made them as auto-pilot as possible and configuring them individually is mostly optional - but I highly recommend looking through my example files to get an idea of how the mods work and how to tweak their settings.
Inside the mod folder from the Steam Workshop of this packed mod, you will find a bunch of example templates & config copied directly from my server at HardcoreDayZ.com
This is probably the best resource for learning how everything works particularly with my types.xml
config and the more complex mods with JSON config, like my Treasure mod in particular which has a bunch of loot categories and pre-defined loot config etc.
