<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
|
||||
<p>DayZ Mod is the original zombie survival mod for ARMA 2 that popularized the survival genre. Players spawn on a massive map with minimal gear, scavenging for supplies while avoiding zombies and other players in a persistent open world.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Key Features</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Persistent Characters:</strong> MySQL database stores player data (position, inventory, health)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>225 km² Map:</strong> Chernarus provides massive open-world gameplay</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Survival Mechanics:</strong> Hunger, thirst, blood, temperature systems</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Permadeath:</strong> Death means starting over from the coast</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Zombies (Infected):</strong> AI-controlled threats across the map</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Vehicle Persistence:</strong> Database-stored vehicle locations</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Base Building:</strong> Limited tent/vehicle storage systems</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Architecture Overview</h3>
|
||||
<p>DayZ Mod uses a unique two-server architecture:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>ARMA 2 Server:</strong> Runs the game world and handles clients</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Hive Server (HiveExt.dll):</strong> Connects ARMA to MySQL database for persistence</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>MySQL Database:</strong> Stores all persistent data (characters, vehicles, objects)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="database">💾 Database Setup</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Installing MySQL/MariaDB</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Ubuntu/Debian</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Install MariaDB
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
|
||||
|
||||
# Secure installation
|
||||
sudo mysql_secure_installation
|
||||
|
||||
# Start service
|
||||
sudo systemctl start mariadb
|
||||
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Windows</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Download MySQL Community Server from mysql.com
|
||||
# Or use XAMPP which includes MySQL
|
||||
|
||||
# Install MySQL Server
|
||||
# Set root password during installation
|
||||
# Ensure MySQL service is running
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Creating DayZ Database</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Login to MySQL
|
||||
mysql -u root -p
|
||||
|
||||
# Create database
|
||||
CREATE DATABASE dayz_epoch CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
|
||||
|
||||
# Create user with permissions
|
||||
CREATE USER 'dayz'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
|
||||
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dayz_epoch.* TO 'dayz'@'localhost';
|
||||
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
||||
|
||||
# If Hive is on different machine
|
||||
CREATE USER 'dayz'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_secure_password';
|
||||
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dayz_epoch.* TO 'dayz'@'%';
|
||||
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Importing DayZ Schema</h3>
|
||||
<p>DayZ Mod includes SQL schema files in the database folder:</p>
|
||||
<pre><code># Import the schema (adjust path to your installation)
|
||||
mysql -u root -p dayz_epoch < path/to/dayz_server/SQL/dayz_schema.sql
|
||||
|
||||
# Or import via MySQL client
|
||||
mysql -u root -p
|
||||
USE dayz_epoch;
|
||||
SOURCE /path/to/dayz_server/SQL/dayz_schema.sql;
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||

<h2 id="battleye">🛡️ BattlEye Filters</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>BattlEye Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<p>BattlEye filters in <code>BattlEye/</code> folder prevent exploits and hacks. DayZ-specific filters are critical.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Key Filter Files</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>scripts.txt</strong> - Blocks malicious scripts (most important)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>publicvariable.txt</strong> - Filters public variable injections</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>remoteexec.txt</strong> - Prevents remote execution exploits</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>createvehicle.txt</strong> - Controls vehicle spawning</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>setpos.txt</strong> - Limits teleportation exploits</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>setvariable.txt</strong> - Filters variable setting</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Updating Filters</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Download latest filters from community sources
|
||||
# Recommended: DayZ GitHub or DZMS filter packs
|
||||
|
||||
# Example: Download from GitHub
|
||||
wget https://github.com/DayZMod/DayZ/tree/master/BattlEye -O battleye_filters.zip
|
||||
unzip battleye_filters.zip -d BattlEye/
|
||||
|
||||
# Always backup existing filters before updating!
|
||||
cp -r BattlEye/ BattlEye_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d)/
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Common BattlEye Issues</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Players kicked on spawn:</strong> scripts.txt too strict - check logs and add exceptions</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Vehicle spawn kicks:</strong> createvehicle.txt blocking legitimate vehicles</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Admin tool kicks:</strong> Whitelist admin scripts in filters</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="maps">🗺️ Maps & Variants</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Official Maps</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Chernarus</strong> - Original 225 km² map (default)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Lingor</strong> - Tropical island map</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Takistan</strong> - Desert environment</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Namalsk</strong> - Arctic island with unique hazards</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Panthera</strong> - Large European-style map</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Celle</strong> - German countryside</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Map Installation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Additional maps require mission files and sometimes map addons:</p>
|
||||
<pre><code># Install map addon (e.g., @Namalsk)
|
||||
cp -r @Namalsk ~/arma2oa_server/
|
||||
|
||||
# Add to startup parameters
|
||||
-mod=@Reality;@DayZ;@Namalsk
|
||||
|
||||
# Install mission file
|
||||
cp -r dayz_1.namalsk MPMissions/

<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||
|
||||
# Network tuning
|
||||
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
|
||||
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/gameserver"
|
||||
SERVER_DIR="/home/gameserver/server"
|
||||
|
||||
# Create backup
|
||||
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$DATE.tar.gz -C $SERVER_DIR .
|
||||
|
||||
# Keep only last 7 days
|
||||
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "backup_*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="security">Security Best Practices</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for admin/RCON access</li>
|
||||
<li>Never use default passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Change passwords regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Don't share admin credentials unnecessarily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Regular Updates</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep server software updated to the latest stable version</li>
|
||||
<li>Update operating system and dependencies regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Subscribe to security advisories for your game</li>
|
||||
<li>Test updates on a staging server before production deployment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Access Control</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable root login via SSH</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement fail2ban or similar intrusion prevention</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>DDoS Protection</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider DDoS protection services (Cloudflare, OVH, etc.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement rate limiting where supported</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor for unusual traffic patterns</li>
|
||||
<li>Have an incident response plan</li>
|
||||
</ul>
