Add the Code Lock mod to your DayZ server

Code Lock is a Workshop mod that gives bases an electronic code lock, so you no longer have to scramble to lock a gate. To run it, add Workshop item 1646187754 to Additional Mods, restart, then change its settings in the CodeLock folder that the mod creates inside profiles.

The Workshop page lists no required mods for Code Lock. Its author describes settings for logs, raid times, raid settings and client rate limiting.

The Workshop page shows the mod last updated on 1 November 2024, so read its recent comments before you rely on it with DayZ 1.29.

In the ArthOS panel

1. Stop the server.
2. Open Startup.
3. Turn Automatic Updates on. At the next start the server downloads each mod listed as an ID, makes its @ folder and copies its .bikey files into keys. You do not need a Steam login.
4. In Additional Mods, add the mod as @1646187754;. If the field already has mods, add it with a semicolon between each. No spaces and no capital letters. The order you type them in does not matter, because the list is sorted before it is used. See DayZ mod load order.
5. Start the server. The first start takes longer while the mod downloads. Watch Console for the download messages.
6. Join the server with Code Lock also loaded in your game and place a lock on a gate to check it.

Change its settings

The mod’s author says that its config sits inside the server profile folder, in a folder called CodeLock, together with its permissions and logs. On a Loafhosts server the profile folder is profiles. The mod writes the files itself, so start the server once with the mod loaded first.

1. Stop the server.
2. In Files, open profiles, then CodeLock.
3. Open the config file. MyDayZ’s documentation names it CodeLockConfig.json, and shows a setting called m_CanCutLock: 1 lets players cut a lock off, 0 does not.
4. Change the value and save.
5. Start the server.

The Config Editor does not edit this file. It only edits serverDZ.cfg.

The other settings, such as raid times, are described by the author only in general terms. Read the file’s own names and values before you change them.

By hand

1. Copy the Code Lock folder from the Workshop download into the server root.
2. Copy its .bikey into keys.
3. Add its folder to -mod=, for example -mod=@CodeLock, with a semicolon between mods. By hand, the order in -mod= is the load order.
4. Start the server and edit the generated config in profiles/CodeLock.

If it does not work

• Players are kicked when they join. Their mods do not match yours. See DayZ mismatched mods kick.
• No CodeLock folder appears. The mod did not load. Check Additional Mods: the ID needs an @ in front and a semicolon after it.
• The mod does not load after you upload it from Windows. Turn [Repair] Make Mod Files Lowercase on for one start.
• Your edit has no effect. Stop the server before you edit the file, then start it again.
