In addition to the Source Code, there are also some art files. Here is the original PSD file Used to create this layout. Use it to learn more about how I put these layouts together.

Installation Guide:

A Comprehensive Mod Template for DayZ. Optimized with Workbench for Advanced Scripting and pboProject for Efficient Building. This is my personal template, that I use for all projects

Repository Setup

Follow these steps to clone the DayZ Mod Template, set up your project environment, and initialize your own Git repository.

Creating Your Project from a Template

1. Use the Template Repository:

   • Navigate to the DayZ Mod Template repository on GitHub: [https://github.com/DayZ-n-Chill/DayZ-Colorful-UI/](https://github.com/DayZ-n-Chill/DayZ-Colorful-UI/)
   • Click on the "Use this template" button near the top of the repository page.

2. Set Up Your New Repository:

   • Enter a name for your new repository, like DayZ-MyServerName-UI.
   • Optionally, provide a description.
   • Choose the repository visibility (public or private).
   • Click on "Create repository from template" to generate your new repository.

Cloning Your New Repository

3. Clone Your New Repository:

   • Once your repository is created, clone it to your local machine:

     git clone https://github.com/yourusername/DayZ-Mod-Name.git

   • Replace yourusername with your actual GitHub username.

4. Navigate to the Cloned Directory:

   • Change your directory to the one you just cloned:

     cd DayZ-Mod-Name

Workbench

Mounting to the Workdrive

1. Run the Batch File to Mount:
   • Navigate to the SetupWorkdrive.bat file in your mod directory.

     ../DayZ-Mod-Name/SetupWorkdrive.bat 
     

   • Execute this batch file. It will automatically mount all folders containing a 'Workbench' folder in your repository directory to your Workdrive.

Opening the Project in Workbench

1. Access the Project Directory:

   • Go to the mod's project directory:

     ../DayZ-Mod-Name/ModName/Workbench
     

   • Here, you will find the dayz.gproj file.

2. Open the Project File:

   • Double-click on dayz.gproj.
   • If prompted, choose to open it with Workbench. You can find Workbench in steamapps/common/DayZ Tools/Bin/Workbench.

Configuring Source Data Directory in Workbench

This step only needs to be completed one time, unless you change your DayZ install directory.

1. Set the Source Data Directory:

   • In Workbench, navigate to Workbench -> Options.
   • Set "Source Data Directory" to your DayZ installation path, such as C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/DayZ Exp.

2. Handle the Restart Prompt:

   • Upon setting the directory, a prompt to restart Workbench will appear. Select 'No' to decline this automatic restart.

3. Manually Restart Workbench:

   • Close the Resource Browser to ensure all settings are applied.
   • Exit and then reopen Workbench.
   • Reopen the dayz.gproj file.

With Dabs Framework on your machine, your project will automatically have plugins built-in. To use these plugins, follow Using the Workbench Plugins in the wiki.
