DayZED is a tool which I coded for myselfe while modding on the map - to make some things just easier and quicker. Its main purpose is to do massive database changes at once with just a few clicks -> Aka "Loot Editor" of the typex.xml. All other functions/tools within it are very basic and not recommended for "pro editing". DayZED only offers tools which i needed at a special point while modding Deerisle - which i am willing to share. I just added stuff what I've needed. Its available for Deerisle-Patreons:
Installation:
- Download latest Version from Patreon
- Extract all files into your mission folder (\yourdayzserver\missions\empty.deerisle)
- Do a backup of your mission folder!
- Start DayZED
Known issues:
Please keep in mind, its a very early and maybe buggy version. Some core features like deleting player- or eventspawns are still missing and will come in future updates. You can also use DayZED for editing Chernarus. Check FAQ Section on how to set it up for other maps.
In most cases you have to to some <FIX FIRST> tasks when starting DayZED the first time. Just follow the instructions and remove the the labeled lines from the XML file.
