DayZ Trader mod questions
How do I add the Trader mod to my DayZ server?
Stop the server, install Trader from Steam Workshop in the game panel, then copy the Trader Profile folder from the @1590841260 mod folder into your profiles folder, using the File Manager or FTP. Start the server and the traders load.
The traders don't appear. What did I miss?
Usually the profile folder is missing or in the wrong place. Check that the Trader folder from the mod sits directly inside profiles, not inside another folder, and that you copied it while the server was stopped.
Do players need the Trader mod too?
Yes. Trader is a Workshop mod, so players need it as well. The DZSA Launcher downloads the server's mods for them when they join, and the official DayZ launcher offers to subscribe to any Workshop mods they are missing.
Want your own DayZ server? GTX DayZ servers support Steam Workshop mods with full file access by File Manager and SFTP: see DayZ server hosting.
