Quality over volume
Genuinely useful material — not a flood of pages re-feeding what an LLM could already tell you. People trust what feels well made.
DayZ Modders
The hard-won knowledge of the DayZ modding community, written down — searchable, durable, and welcoming to newcomers.
A golden standard of reference material
Section titled “A golden standard of reference material”DayZ modding knowledge is scattered across Discord messages, half-finished repos, YouTube videos, and private mentorships — and a lot of it is simply gatekept. This site exists to gather it into one place that outlives Discord scroll: a curated, cross-linked reference for the esoteric, hard-to-find side of modding the game.
It is not a Q&A queue and not an auto-generated API dump. It’s a deliberately built knowledge base — closer to good project docs than a wiki — covering the subsystems, pipelines, and gotchas people actually run into.
Find your discipline
Section titled “Find your discipline” Getting Started What this is, a modding overview, Workbench setup, and how to contribute.
Scripting EnScript basics and gotchas, common engine subsystems, native functions, and game structure.
Asset Work The modeling pipeline: P3D setup, proxies, selections, memory points, RVMATs, textures, and configs.
Tooling & Setup Packing, file patching, publishing, and a sane project workflow.
Contributing How to write docs, the style guide, and the pull-request process.
Built by the community
Section titled “Built by the community”If you can write Markdown, you can contribute
The source is open. Fix a typo, flesh out a stub, or write a whole guide — every page has an Edit link, and changes land through pull requests.
Build a staircase, don't pull the ladder up
A reaction to a cold, gatekeeping culture. The docs — and the way we collaborate on them — are meant to model the opposite.
Human-authored, machine-readable
Written and curated by people who understand the material, and structured so that LLM crawlers can consume it cleanly too.
