Adding a Custom Player Loadout on your DayZ Server
Before we proceed with setting up custom loadouts. You will want to first head to the following area for the classnames: https://github.com/ravmustang/DayZ_SA_ClassName_Dump
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. Log into your FTP client, using an editor program locally is recommended to maintain correct syntax but you can also use the file manager in the game panel.
4. Head into the following directory: /mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus.
5. If using FTP, use a file editor with syntax editing like Notepad++ to edit the init.c file within the above directory or edit the file inside file manager.
Look for the following area:
6. From there you will want to grab the new classnames from the link listed at the top of the page. Simply change the current list out with the new items you wish to have or copy the code line and create a new item to add onto the list.
Do note however that the inventory can only hold so much.
itemEnt = itemTop.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("Battery9V"); SetRandomHealth(itemEnt);
7. Once you have made your edits simply save and re upload to the FTP client.
8. Start your DayZ Standalone server and join the server once it's fully started (Can take up to 10m).
Do note that you will only get these items when starting a fresh character
