Packing 'Unpacked' Mods:

  • Packing mods is very easy. I'm going to use PBOManager in this tutorial, but I recommend you use one of the free tools here : https://mikero.bytex.digital/Downloads
  • It should not matter which PBO packer you choose as long as it honors the $PREFIX$ file we have or allows you to manually input the right pbo prefix.
  • Copy the Scripts folder from the Workbench Source Directory/Test Mod and paste and replace any files in the Workbench Source Directory/Build/Test Mod/Addons/ folder.
  • Your Addons folder should now look like this. Addons Folder
  • Now simply pack that Scripts folder into a pbo with the manager of your choice and delete the folder once the pbo is packed.
  • Your Addons folder should now look like this. Addons Folder

Important references to know for the tutorial:

  • Workbench Source Directory -> The parent folder where all your projects and build files will be stored.
  • Unpacked Mod Directory -> The folder where your unpacked mod will be stored.
  • Packed Mod Directory -> The folder where your packed mod will be stored.
  • DayZ Tools -> The offical DayZ Tools from Steam. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/830640/DayZ_Tools/)
  • WorkBench Directory -> The bin folder of the workbench folder. Where the workbenchApp.exe is stored. Normal location : SteamFolder\steamapps\common\DayZ Tools\Bin\Workbench\
  • WorkBench Project File -> The workbench project file. Normal location : SteamFolder\steamapps\common\DayZ Tools\Bin\Workbench\dayz.gproj
  • From my understanding, paths on Windows are case insensitive meaning the folder DAyzMODs is the same as the folder dayzmods.
