Types Editor

Your ultimate toolkit for DayZ server customization

Upload types.xml

Note: Use one browser tab to avoid overwriting your types.xml.

Using the Types Editor

The Types editor in DayZ File Toolbox lets you modify types.xml to control item spawns. Here’s how to get started:

  • Upload: Go to the Types tab and upload your types.xml file.
  • Filter: Narrow down items using filters like Category (weapons), Usage (military), Tier (tier1), or Name search.
  • Edit: Change nominal (max spawns), min (min spawns), quantmin/max (quantity range), or add categories, usages, tiers, and tags.
  • Bulk Edit: Apply changes to multiple items at once (e.g., set nominal=10 for all clothes).
  • Undo: Revert changes with “Undo Last Change” while keeping your filters and selections.
  • Download: Save your edited types.xml or generate a new cfglimitsdefinition.xml.

Pro Tip: Use the Edit button on individual items for precise control, like setting usages=military,police.

Nominal
Controls max item spawns (e.g., nominal=10 for up to 10 rifles).
Min
Sets minimum guaranteed spawns (e.g., min=5 ensures at least 5, starts restock once hit).
QuantMin/Max
Defines quantity range as a percentage (e.g., quantmin=50, quantmax=100 for 50-100% fill).
Category
Groups items (e.g., weapons, clothes, books).
Usage
Specifies spawn locations (e.g., military, coast).
Tier
Assigns loot quality zones (e.g., tier1 for basic, tier4 for rare).
Tag
