DayZ | How to edit Gameplay Settings

A nice and easy way to modify the weather on your DayZ server. The process to edit the weather is as follows:

1. Stop your server.
2. Click "File Manager"
3. Navigate to mpmissions/<currentlySelectedMission>/
   In this example, it's mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus
4. Click the edit symbol (pencil icon) next to the cfggameplay.json file
5. Make the edits you desire - refer to the descriptions shown below if unsure what to change:
   

   Type	Parameter	Details
   int	version	Internal parameter to keep track of the version of the file
   bool	disableBaseDamage	Damage from structures built through base-building
   bool	disableContainerDamage	Disable damage from items such as tents and barrels
   bool	disableRespawnDialog	Disable a UI dialogue window in which the player selects the type of respawn they wish to perform after pressing the respawn button
   bool	disablePersonalLight	Disables the omnipresent personal light lighting up objects close to player during night-time
   float	staminaWeightLimitThreshold	This amount of stamina points (divided by 1000) will not count towards stamina weight deduction
   float	staminaMax	Maximum stamina (setting to 0 may produce unexpected results)
   float	staminaKgToStaminaPercentPenalty	Multiplier used when calculating stamina points deducted from max stamina given the player load
   float	staminaMinCap	Minimum size of stamina cap (setting to 0 may produce unexpected results)
   float	sprintStaminaModifierErc	Modifies the rate at which the stamina is being consumed during erected sprint
   float	sprintStaminaModifierCro	Modifies the rate at which the stamina is being consumed during crouched sprint
   int	lightingConfig	What type of lighting will be used during night time (0 = bright, 1 = dark)
   bool	disableIsCollidingBBoxCheck	Allows placement when the hologram is colliding with objects in the world
   bool	disableIsCollidingPlayerCheck	Allows placement when the hologram is colliding with player
   bool	disableIsClippingRoofCheck	Allows placement where placing would cause clipping with the roof
   bool	disableIsBaseViableCheck	Allows placement on dynamic objects and other otherwise incompatible base
   bool	disableIsCollidingGPlotCheck	Allows placement of garden plots despite incompatible surface type
   bool	disableIsCollidingAngleCheck	Allows placement despite exceeding roll/pitch/yaw limits
   bool	disableIsPlacementPermittedCheck	Allows placement event when not permitted by rudimentary checks
   bool	disableHeightPlacementCheck	Allows placement with limited height space
   bool	disableIsUnderwaterCheck	Allows placement under water
   bool	disableIsInTerrainCheck	Allows placement when clipping with terrain
   bool	disablePerformRoofCheck	Allows construction when clipping with the roof
   bool	disableIsCollidingCheck	Allows construction when colliding with objects in the world
   bool	disableDistanceCheck	Prevents construction when player gets bellow specified range
   string array	objectSpawnersArr	File names of the JSON files containing spawner data (see Object Spawner )
   bool	hitDirectionOverrideEnabled	Decides whether the values get used or not. Since anything undefined in the 'HitIndicationData' class (or any class in json file) is considered zero, allows us to determine that some valid data had been loaded.
   int	hitDirectionBehaviour	Dictates general behaviour of the hit indicator. 0 == Disabled, 1 == Static, 2 == Dynamic (moving when displayed, WIP)
   int	hitDirectionStyle	Dictates which type of indicator gets used. Set of images and position calculations. 0 == 'splash', 1 == 'spike', 2 == 'arrow'
   string	hitDirectionIndicatorColorStr	Color of the indicator widget, in ARGB format. The color is written in string form (""). For more info on the ARGB format, see section below.
   float	hitDirectionMaxDuration	Maximal duration of the hit indicator. Actual duration is between 0.6..1.0 of the defined value, depending on the severity of the hit (which generally means heavier hits == longer indication)
   float	hitDirectionBreakPointRelative	Fraction of the actual duration, after which the indicator begins to recede (currently fade-out only), 0.0 = fades from the beginning, 0.5 == fades after 50% duration has elapsed, 1.0 == no fading
   float	hitDirectionScatter	Amount of scatter to induce inaccuracy to the indication. Actual scatter is randomized by the amount of degrees in both directions (+- value, so value od 10 gives a potential scatter of 20 DEG)
   bool	hitIndicationPostProcessEnabled	Allows for disabling of the old hit effect (red flash)

   ARGB Format

   ARGB used in the cfgGameplay.json is read as a string due to inherent file format limitations. It consists of:

   • Hexadecimal notation: 0x
   • Alpha value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
   • Red color value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
   • Green color value in hexadecimal format: 00 – FF
   • Blue color value in hexadecimal format: 00-FF

   Result string looks like "0xFFFF0000" (red).

   The value is not case-sensitive, so it could be written in any case, or combination thereof.
