DayZ Console Modding Part 7
In this edition of my console modding guide for DayZ, I'm going to briefly introduce you to and then get you to install Notepad++. Which is a simple yet powerful code editing program for Windows Ten. I will then go over a few useful plugins for it that you can also install to make working the DayZ xml code that little bit easier. I will also then touch on a couple of other apps/programs that I feel may come in handy for some people at the end aswell.

DayZ Console Modding Part 6
In this edition of DayZ Console Modding, I want to talk through some slightly different things that you could possibly do with your XML files to further switch up how loot gets distrubuted across your server. As most server owners are aware simlpy changing, adding and/or removing the "usage" tags used on items in types.xml will change the kinds of locations items can spawn at, so does messing with the "tag", "value" and "category" tags used on them. On top of this, further changes can be made by changing the "tag", "usage" and "category" tags used on entries for buildings in mapgroupproto.xml.

DayZ Console Modding Part 5
In this part of the series I shall cover one of the more straightforward changes that can be made to your DayZ xmls to improve quality of life on your server. Making vehicles and guns spawn with all their parts ready to go. For the most part the only file we'll be making changes to is cfgspawnabletypes.xml but first we should despawn all the cars spawned on the map by default. To do this open Events.xml and scroll down to the events that spawn vehicles, you should see four for cars and one for trucks. On these events set <active> to 0, then save, upload and do a server restart.
