${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Does\ DayZ\ Editor\ run\ on\ my\ server?}}}}$

A: DayZ Editor is an offline instance. Does not work on a server.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Can\ I\ use\ DayZ\ Editor\ for\ a\ console\ server?}}}}$

A: Yes, though they will be limited to only vanilla objects. Consoles servers can't use Steam Workshop mods for additional objects. Builds need to be exported in ObjectSpawner.json format.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ How\ do\ I\ access\ my\ saves?}}}}$

A: Your saves are in the Editor folder in your profile directory. The default location is: Documents\DayZ\Editor

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Can\ I\ use\ this\ on\ Namalsk\ or\ any\ other\ map?}}}}$

A: Yes. Just load the Mod containing the map alongside Editor and it will be automatically detected.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ How\ do\ I\ load\ builds\ on\ my\ server?}}}}$

A: There are several ways to do so, with the simplest one for PC version being DayZ Editor Loader. Read its full install instructions on the Steam mod page. See Exporting to Server.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Why\ can't\ I\ place\ X\ item\ down?}}}}$

A: Currently there are several items in DayZ that break the Object Manager within the Editor (Game crash). For workarounds see Troubleshooting

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Can\ I\ remove\ map\ buildings,\ rocks\ and\ trees?}}}}$

A: Yes. Single deletions are done by hovering on the object and pressing Ctrl + middle mouse. Delete Brush allows you to clear the whole area inside its circular zone. This type of export is only supported by DayZ Editor Loader.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Do\ I\ have\ to\ export\ again\ when\ I\ save?}}}}$

A: If you add, move or remove any object, you need to export again.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Zombies\ walk\ through\ builds.\ Any\ fix?}}}}$

A: The server hasn't ran long enough to update the navmesh. The time required depends on how many objects are added.

${{\color{JungleGreen}{\textsf{ Q:\ Is\ the\ Editor\ compatible\ with\ my\ mod?}}}}$

A: Editor supports by default mods that add exclusively assets. Mods including scripting might be incompatible. If your mod does not load please use our 🐛・editor-bug-report channel on our Discord.
