Setting Up Custom Spawn Points on a DayZ Server

Custom spawn points allow you to control where players appear when they first join the server or respawn after death. This tutorial will guide you through customizing spawn locations on your DayZ server using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• A DayZ server hosted with VolticHost.

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel.

• Knowledge of map coordinates for desired spawn points.

1️⃣ Accessing the Spawn Configuration File

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click on your DayZ server to open the management dashboard.

3. Navigate to the File Manager tab.

4. Open the spawn configuration file:

   /mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/db/player_spawnpoints.json
   

✅ You are now editing the spawn point file!

2️⃣ Adding Custom Spawn Locations

1. Open player_spawnpoints.json and locate the spawn data structure.

2. Add or modify spawn points using map coordinates. Example:

   {
       "positions": [
           [6150.2, 15.0, 2300.5], 
           [4500.8, 20.0, 3300.7], 
           [7250.3, 10.0, 1900.9]
       ]
   }
   

   • The format is [X, Y, Z] where:

     • X = East-West position.

     • Y = Height (leave as 15.0 for default ground level).

     • Z = North-South position.

3. Save the file after making changes.

✅ Custom spawn points have been added!

3️⃣ Restarting the Server to Apply Spawn Changes

1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click Stop to shut down the server.

3. Click Start to restart it with the updated spawn points.

4. Join the server and verify that players now spawn at the configured locations.

✅ Custom spawn points are now active!

🎉 Conclusion

You have successfully set up custom spawn points on your DayZ server! Players will now start in specific locations rather than default randomized zones.
