One manager for local and Nitrado servers — now with YouGoBoom AI: realistic server-side bots and a full in-game admin menu your players never have to download. Plus a live Discord killfeed, leaderboard, economy and shop. Completely free — if it helps you, a donation keeps it going.
Realistic AI bots and a complete in-game admin menu — free, and bundled right into the Manager. The AI runs entirely on the server, so your players download nothing from the Workshop to play.
Guards and patrols that raise their weapons, aim and fight with a custom animation graph — walking real routes you draw in-game, not shooting from the hip.
Bots, players, spawner, placement, factions, world, messages — all from an in-game menu (Delete = admin mode, Y = menu). Every action is server-checked; it does nothing for non-admins.
A C-130 flies over, drops a crate with smoke and a landing zone on the map, guarded by AI — loot unlocks after a timer, with rare jackpot weapons.
New and respawning players choose their spawn point from a map instead of being thrown anywhere — fully configurable per server.
Hire AI mercenary squads, give them a target and let them run the mission — a whole PvE layer with no extra mod for players.
Set weather, lock the time of day, and show an in-game clock plus a "Day X after the world ended" counter that keeps counting across restarts.
Friendly bots: guards and patrols that belong to you and your friends never turn on you.
A compass strip while you carry a compass, and your live position (and heading) on the map when you open it with M.
Broadcast messages to everyone or one player, and save & restore base layouts — handy for wipes and events.
Built from real day-to-day running of a live DayZ server — every feature exists because it was actually needed.
Every kill — PvP, vs. infected, environment, even bare-fist — posted live, with weapon, distance, and position.
K/D, kills, longest survival streak, and in-game coin balance, kept fresh automatically in its own channel.
Real-time player positions on the map — see where everyone is right now, not just after the fact.
Players earn coins from kills and a daily bonus, bank them safely or risk them at coinflip, slots, roulette, or blackjack.
Spend coins on gear packages delivered straight into the world at coordinates players choose — no separate mod required.
Kick, ban, unban, broadcast a message, or restart the server — straight from Discord, from anywhere.
First-time joiners get an automatic welcome message with the essentials — no manual onboarding.
Manage self-hosted servers and Nitrado-hosted ones (including PlayStation/Xbox) side by side.
Add Workshop mods by ID, and the manager keeps them downloaded and in sync automatically.
See where fights actually happen on the real map, and who's online right now.
Snapshot player data and configs, restore any previous backup in a couple of clicks.
The installer does the boring parts for you.
It installs Python and SteamCMD automatically if you don't have them — no manual setup required. YouGoBoom AI comes bundled in.
Enter your Steam Guard code if asked — this is a one-time step, needed to download the DayZ server files.
The dashboard opens automatically in your browser. Name your server, pick a port, hit Start — the AI is added and kept in sync for you.
Paste in a bot token, pick your channels, and your killfeed/leaderboard/economy go live.
The whole Manager is free for everyone: every feature, no tiers, no subscription, no account. You get the complete thing in one installer.
Instance management, mods and auto-updates, live Discord killfeed, leaderboard, online players, PvP heatmap — plus YouGoBoom AI & Admin Tools: AI bots, in-game admin menu, airdrops, spawn selection and more. All of it, at no cost.
If the Manager saves you time and you'd like to help keep it going, a small donation is hugely appreciated — but it's completely optional, and nothing is locked behind it.
