cfggameplay.json
Configures advanced gameplay mechanics including player health and stamina, disease and injury systems, vehicle damage, and AI behavior.
Overview
The cfggameplay.json file controls advanced gameplay mechanics that go beyond the standard server configuration. It allows fine-tuning of player health, stamina, diseases, base building, vehicles, and UI elements.
This file must be enabled in serverDZ.cfg by setting enableCfgGameplayFile = 1;. The file is located in the mission folder and is read at server startup.
JSON Structure
The file is a single JSON object with top-level sections for each gameplay area.

Major Sections
GeneralData
Global toggles for base damage, container damage, and respawn dialog. These are server-wide on/off switches.
PlayerData
Controls player-specific mechanics including stamina, shock handling, and the personal light (flashlight at spawn). Contains nested StaminaData and ShockHandlingData objects.
WorldData
Environment temperature ranges by month (12-element arrays for min/max) and wetness weight modifiers that affect player movement when clothing is wet.
BaseBuildingData
Hologram placement checks for base building. Disabling checks allows more flexible placement but can lead to exploits.
UIData
Controls the in-game map behavior and hit direction indicators. The use3DMap toggle switches between 2D and 3D map rendering.
MapData
Map ownership and display settings. Controls whether players need a physical map item, whether their position is shown, and navigation info visibility.
Stamina, Health & Disease Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| staminaMax | 100 | Maximum stamina pool. Higher values allow longer sprinting. |
| staminaKgToStaminaPercentPenalty | 1.75 | Stamina penalty per kg of carried weight. Lower values reduce weight impact. |
| staminaMinCap | 5 | Minimum stamina that is always available regardless of weight. |
| sprintStaminaModifierErc | 1.0 | Stamina drain multiplier when sprinting upright. Lower = less drain. |
| sprintStaminaModifierCro | 1.0 | Stamina drain multiplier when sprinting crouched. |
| shockRefillSpeedConscious | 5.0 | Rate at which shock value recovers while conscious. |
| shockRefillSpeedUnconscious | 1.0 | Rate at which shock value recovers while unconscious. |
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle damage settings are controlled through the GeneralData section. The disableBaseDamage flag also affects vehicles stored within bases. For vehicle-specific tuning, modded solutions are typically required.
