🟩 DevCAStash — Dynamic Stash & Respawn System (FREE!)

Transform exploration into real adventures with smart loot crates, secret events, and infinite replayability!

✨ WHAT IS DEVCASTASH?

DevCAStash introduces intelligent loot stashes to your DayZ server. Players discover crates, hold to open, grab exclusive rewards, and the stash disappears — only to respawn later with fresh loot!

Perfect for: ✅ Exploration loops ✅ PvP hotspots ✅ PvE missions and quest areas ✅ Treasure hunts ✅ Secret map events ✅ Clan challenges & RP stories

If you want players moving, fighting, discovering, and talking… this mod does it all. 🔥

💎 FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

  • 🧭 Exact Spawn Control — Custom positions + orientations
  • ⏱️ Timed Respawn — Fully configurable cooldowns per stash
  • 🎁 Advanced Loot System — Weighted chances, attachment rules, quantity limits
  • 🔄 Live JSON Reload — Auto-apply edits, no restart needed
  • 🔔 Discord Webhook (Optional) — Announce stashes spawning, opening, emptying, despawning and respawning
  • 🧩 Server and Client Mod Required — All logic runs on the server, but clients must load the mod to see and use the stash chest
  • 📜 Clean Logging — Full lifecycle tracking and error logs
  • 🌎 Works on Any Map — Any coordinates, including underwater and up to 2 km above ground
  • 🌊 Inventory While Swimming — Open inventory and manage items even while swimming (integrated, no extra mod)
  • 🧱 Safe Interaction — No more "Store contents (F)": stash is only accessed via TAB, avoiding accidental deletion
  • ♻️ Auto-Despawn When Empty — Stash deletes itself when fully looted, with logging and webhooks
  • 🎲 Random Spawn — m_RandomSpawn (0=all, 1=random)
  • 🔒 Fixed Until Looted — m_FixedUntilLooted (0=expires by time, 1=fixed)

🎮 HOW IT WORKS

  • Server loads → reads:
  • profiles/DevCARLOS/DevCAStash/DevCAStash.json
  • Spawns stashes defined by container class, respawn time, rewards and quantity
  • Players open → loot rolls from reusable loot boxes
  • Stash despawns when empty → later respawns with brand-new rewards
  • Every X minutes → JSON is rechecked and changes applied live (auto-upgrade safe)

🛠️ SERVER OWNER BENEFITS

  • Auto-creates folders and JSON if missing
  • Live updates with zero downtime
  • No expensive loops or heavy performance cost
  • Great for dynamic events, underwater hunts and sky arenas up to 2 km high
  • Auto-migration from old configs (seconds → minutes)

📦 SERVER-SIDE OR CLIENT-SIDE?

DevCAStash is a regular DayZ mod with config.cpp, custom scripts and a custom container class.

Important:

  • The mod must be loaded on the server
  • All players must also have the mod enabled in their launcher
  • It is NOT a pure server-side script; clients need the files to see and use the stash chest correctly

[hr][/hr]

📢 LATEST CHANGES (v2.1)

  • Time units: seconds to minutes
  • Renamed m_ReloadTime to m_ReloadTime_minutes
  • Renamed m_ReloadInterval to m_ReloadInterval_minutes
  • Defaults: stash reload 180 min, auto-reload 5 min
  • Added m_RandomSpawn (0=all, 1=random)
  • Added m_FixedUntilLooted (0=expires by time, 1=fixed until looted)
  • Fixed migration to convert old time values
  • Improved backup and data preservation
