dzo_chatcmd

dzo_chatcmd

Admin commands typed into the normal in-game chat, for server owners: teleport, heal, spawn items and vehicles, god mode, broadcast and more. It is a server-side mod only: players do not download anything and your server stays vanilla for them.

Supported DayZ versions: 1.29 and 1.30. No other mods needed.

What you get

• About 20 chat commands for admins, such as /tp, /heal, /spawn, /car, /godmode, /nearby and /broadcast. Type /help in game for the list.
• Only the player IDs you put into the config are obeyed. Everybody else's commands are ignored.
• Answers, errors and help texts are sent only to the admin. Players who get healed or teleported are not told (can be switched on).
• An audit log file records who ran what and when.
• Short names are enough: /tp chernogorsk works in any letter case, /tp balota air finds Balota Airstrip, /goto joh finds the player Johnny. If a name is ambiguous, the matches are listed back to you.
• Vehicles with easy names and colors: /car ada spawns a fully equipped car, /car ada blue a blue one.

You can change and add names in the config. Colors are the vanilla variants; if a vehicle does not have the color you asked for, the available ones are listed.

Server owners: quick start

[olist] [*] Get this mod from the Steam Workshop and put it into your server directory. [*] Start the server with the mod as a server mod:

-servermod=@dzo_chatcmd -profiles=profiles[/code]
Use [b]-servermod=[/b], not -mod=. Players do not have to do anything.
[*] If your server checks signatures, copy the .bikey from the mod's keys folder into the keys folder of your server.
[*] Start the server once. It creates [b]profiles/dzo/chatcmd/config.json[/b].
[*] Find your player ID: type [b]/myid[/b] in the chat (it answers to you), or look for your name in the newest .ADM log file in the profiles folder. Put the ID into [b]adminUids[/b] in config.json and restart the server. Later changes to the file can be applied in game with [b]/reload[/b].
[/olist]

[b]DayZ 1.30:[/b] the profiles folder must be inside the server directory (a symlink there is fine), as for every server on 1.30.

[b]Coming from AdminTools?[/b] This mod is the renamed and rewritten AdminTools. On the first start your old profiles/AdminTools/config.json is copied to profiles/dzo/chatcmd/config.json automatically.

[h2]Settings[/h2]

[*] [b]spawnGroups[/b]: name and a list of class names for /spawngroup
[*] [b]vehicles[/b] and [b]vehicleAliases[/b]: what /car can spawn and under which short names
[*] [b]maxSpawnCount[/b]: upper limit for /spawn (default 50)
[*] [b]godModeOnLogin[/b]: admins start every session in god mode (default off)
[*] [b]notifyTargets[/b]: tell a player when an admin healed, repaired or teleported them (default off)
[*] [b]auditLog[/b]: write profiles/dzo/chatcmd/audit.log (default on)
[*] [b]verbose[/b]: more detail in the script log (default off)
[/list]
