Using these modded xml files could break the functioning of your DAYZ server, requiring a reinstall that would wipe
all player progress.

Using these modded xml files neccessitates increased regular restarts to prevent server crashing.

It is suggested you thoroughly test your server after applying these files to ensure proper
functioning of your server.

AS ABOVE, PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE EXPANSION AI MOD INSTALLED AND WORKING ON YOUR SERVER BEFORE ADDING THESE ROADBLOCK FILES AND XML SNIPPETS.

To download the required files from this github, click on the green "code" button and then "Download Zip" and extract / unzip on your local drive.

I have included the DayZ Editor compatible "editable-road-blocks-chernarus.dze" file so that you can customise the road-blocks if you wish, then re-export.

1)The roadblocks themselves are spawned in using the custom object spawner json file "road-blocks-chernarus.json"

Ensure the your cfggameply.json file is activated in your online server settings panel, or in your serverDZ.cfg file, in which case you should have
a line like this:

enableCfgGameplayFile = 1;

I recommend your create a folder named "custom" within your mission folder, and then upload "road-blocks-chernarus.json" to that custom folder.

Next edit your cfggameplay.json file object spawner line to look like this:

"objectSpawnersArr": ["custom/road-blocks-chernarus.json"],

If you already are using some custom object spawns, the line will look something like this:

"objectSpawnersArr": ["custom/yourfile.json","custom/anotherfile.json","custom/road-blocks-chernarus.json"],

Remember to Save and re-upload if necessary.

2)You can add the AI that guard the road-blocks in two ways. You can upload the complete "AIPatrolSettings.json" included in this github over the top
of the existing file of the same name which can be found in your mission folder, inside the "expansion" then "settings folder. The catch is with this method is
that this file may well become out of date as the mod is updated.

The best technique is to copy and paste the below code into the existing "AIPatrolSettings.json" file. This way you'll have the latest settings.

Under the entry  "Patrols": [ 

paste the following code:

3) Next, you can optionally add the roadblock items to your mapgrouppos.xml, so that the tents and other props will spawn items as part of the CLE.
This is not necessary to make the roadblocks work, but is a nice touch. If you wish to do this, open your mapgroupos.xml file which is in your mission folder,
and at the top, but below <map> copy and paste the following:
