Items not spawning

cfgEffectArea.json

  • Make sure you only have one cfgEffectArea.json file in your server files and not multiple, as this could cause the bot to write into the other file, and thus the items would not be spawned as the game ignores the other file.
  • Make sure that the cfgEffectArea.json file is not corrupted.
  • Make sure that the coordinates are in a flat area, as small items could clip under the ground.
  • Make sure that the coordinates are actually above ground in case you provided the elevation (y-coordinate).
  • Make sure that you have looked on the roof of a building in case you purchased an item in the building and did not specify the elevation.

dpp_shop.json

  • Make sure the path to the dpp_shop.json file is included in the cfggameplay.json file.
  • Make sure that all your custom JSON files are valid, as any issue would cause all the other files to not be loaded. Thus, it is also recommended to put the dpp_shop.json file as the first entry in the cfggameplay.json file.
  • Make sure that the coordinates are above the ground, for example, by using the DayZ Editor on PC.

Due to technical limitations, autocomplete for the "item" parameter of the purchase-related commands can only work when using a global shop list and having it enabled on all connected game servers.

Items not visible or working

If you’re experiencing issues such as items not appearing in the /shop list command after you’ve created them or you receive an error stating that the specified item does not exist, the problem is likely due to the following:

  1. You created your items on the Global Shop page but did not enable "Use Global Item List" or "Use Global Event Item List" in the configuration tab of the Shop settings page for the corresponding game server.
  2. You created items on the Shop page of the game server but enabled "Use Global Item List" or "Use Global Event Item List."
