Notifications System - Advanced Scheduler & Live Loops

[hr]

Notifications System is a lightweight, free, and highly configurable mod designed for the DayZ community. Forget about complex configurations or heavy dependencies. This mod intelligently separates messages into two categories: Fixed Schedule (Scheduler) and Live Events (Live Loops).

This mod was created with the goal of being simple, effective, and flexible for any server owner.

🔥 Key Features

• 📅 Scheduler (Fixed Time): Schedule messages at an exact time (e.g., Restarts at 08:00:00).
• 🔄 Live Loops: Configure messages that repeat every X minutes (e.g., "Join Discord" every 60 min) or unique messages that appear after X amount of server uptime.
• 👤 Dynamic Variables: Personalize your messages with variables like {PLAYER}, {SERVERNAME}, {TIME}, and {DATE}.
• ⚡ Hot-Reload: Did you make a mistake in a message? Edit the JSON file while the server is online, and changes will apply automatically within 60 seconds without a restart.
• 🎁 Welcome Messages: Greet players with personalized welcome notifications when they join your server.
• 🕐 Time Modes: Choose between UTC time, server local time, or in-game mission time for your scheduled notifications.
• 🔄 Auto-Migration: Config files automatically backup and migrate when updating to new versions - zero data loss!
• 📊 Custom Sounds: Includes a default alert sound system that you can change to your liking.
• 🚀 Optimized: Logic runs 100% on the server, with zero impact on client performance.

        "UseMissionTime": 0,

            "Loop": 0,
            "Title": "Hello {PLAYER}",
            "Text": "This is a PVE server!",
            "Color": ""
        },
        {
            "Notifications_Minute": 0,
            "Loop": 1,

            "Text": "Join our Discord at {SERVERNAME}!",
            "Color": ""
        }
    ]
}

🎯 Dynamic Variables

You can use these variables in any Title or Text field:

• {PLAYER} - Player's name (e.g., "Welcome Reash!")
• {SERVERNAME} - Your server name (e.g., "Join My Server's Discord")
• {TIME} - Current time HH:MM (e.g., "Restart at 14:30")
• {DATE} - Current date DD/MM/YYYY (e.g., "Event on 22/01/2026")

🕐 Time Configuration Modes

AutoReload section controls how the mod reads time:

• UTC = 1, UseMissionTime = 0: Uses real UTC time from system
• UTC = 0, UseMissionTime = 0: Uses server's local time zone
• UseMissionTime = 1: Uses DayZ in-game time (ignores UTC setting)

How does the logic work?

• Scheduler: Uses time configuration from AutoReload. Ideal for restart warnings.
• Live (Loop = 0): One-time message. It triggers once when the server has been running for X minutes (Defined in Notifications_Minute).
• Live (Loop = 1): Infinite loop. It repeats every X amount of time (Defined in Loop_Minute).
• Welcome: Personalized greeting sent to each player with configurable delay after connection.

📊 Changing the Sound

The mod comes with a default alert sound. If you want to use your own custom sound: 1. Go to the mod folder: [code]NotificationsSystem\Sounds[/code] 2. Replace the Sound01.ogg file with your own audio file. 3. Make sure it is named exactly the same (Sound01.ogg) so the script recognizes it.

🔄 Auto-Migration System

When updating to a new version:

• Your old config is automatically backed up as NotificationSettings_old.json
• New features are added while preserving all your existing configurations
• Migration is logged in console for transparency
• Zero downtime - happens automatically on server start

💡 PRO TIP: Unlimited entries! You can add infinite notifications to the JSON file. Simply copy and paste the code block `{ ... },` as many times as you need, separating them with a comma.
