Make the weather
your own.
Build a custom weather configuration for your DayZ community server. Start with a preset, adjust the conditions, and download your file. No sign-in required.
XML works on console and PC. The script snippet is for PC servers with mission-script access. Choose one installation method.
Changing the map resets controls to a balanced starting preset. This is a custom profile, not a reproduction of vanilla weather.
Install on your server
XML · Xbox, PlayStation & PC
- Stop your community server and back up its existing weather file.
- Download the file as
cfgweather.xml. Put it in the active mission folder besidecfgGameplay.json, not inside thedbfolder. Use your host’s file browser or upload access. - Keep
enable="1". Usereset="1"when you want these starting conditions applied on restart. - Start the server and allow the initial transition time to pass. If weather is overridden, check existing mission scripts or weather mods. Host access and paths vary.
Common PC mission folders: mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/, mpmissions/dayzOffline.enoch/, and mpmissions/dayzOffline.sakhal/. Console hosts may display different parent folders; use the active map’s mission directory.
Script snippet · PC only
- Stop the server and back up its existing mission
init.c. - Paste the downloaded snippet inside the existing
main()function, before economy initialization. Replace conflicting weather calls; do not overwrite your entire init.c or add a second main() function. - Disable the XML weather config (
enable="0") when choosing this script method. It takes mission control withMissionWeather(true). - Restart and check script logs. Script initial values are applied on mission start; the XML reset option has no direct equivalent in this snippet.
Console users should use XML. Custom weather mods may have their own controller and configuration requirements.
Snowfall is disabled for the Chernarus/Livonia profiles, and rain is disabled for the Sakhal profile. Temperature, daylight, ground snow, volumetric fog, and mod-specific weather controllers are outside this tool.
