PVEZ v2

PVEZv2 — PVE and PVP Zone Management

Build a server where peaceful areas, dangerous territories and player consequences follow your rules.

PVEZv2 continues Ermiq’s original PVEZ mod with a DayZ 1.30 update, a refreshed Dabs Framework interface and administration through Community Online Tools (COT).

Original PVEZ created by Ermiq. Visit the original PVEZ Workshop page

Features

• Four gameplay modes: PVP zones, PVE zones, PVE everywhere or PVP everywhere.
• Create and manage static zones with custom names, positions, sizes and activity schedules.
• Configure dynamic zones around territory flags, helicopter crashes and supported airdrops.
• Configure damage protection, clothing and cargo protection, damage reflection and attacks across zone boundaries.
• Manage lawbreakers, pardons, player history and automatic record expiry.
• Configure item rewards through the bounty system.
• Customize zone messages, status indicators and exit countdowns.
• Configure map markers and zone visibility through supported map integrations.
• Optionally enforce first-person view in PVP areas.

Administration through COT

Open Community Online Tools and select PVEZv2 to access four administration pages:

• Settings — general rules, damage, notifications, map options and dynamic-zone settings.
• Zones — create, edit and remove static zones.
• Lawbreakers — inspect records, flag or pardon players and manage their history.
• Bounties — search available items and configure reward quantities.

The interface includes contextual help, editable drafts, validation and save feedback. Conflicting edits are detected before overwriting newer server data.

All administration permissions are managed through COT roles.

Grant PVEZ.View for viewing access, then assign the editing permissions each role needs:

• PVEZ.Settings.Edit
• PVEZ.Zones.Edit
• PVEZ.Lawbreakers.Edit
• PVEZ.Bounties.Edit

Dynamic-zone settings use PVEZ.Settings.Edit. Static-zone editing uses PVEZ.Zones.Edit.

The old Admins.txt file no longer grants access.

Required Mods

Community Framework (CF) Dabs Framework Community Online Tools (COT)

Install all three on the server and clients, loaded before PVEZv2.

Upgrading from PVEZ

Back up your server profile before upgrading. Existing configuration and player records continue to use the PVEZ profile folder.

Replace the previous PVEZ build in your active mod list. Do not load PVEZv2 alongside the original PVEZ or PVEZ Reloaded.

Configure your COT permissions before opening the administration interface.
