Welcome to the ZYAD documentation

The ZYAD mods at a glance
| Mod | What it does |
|---|---|
| ZYADCore | The foundation: the ZYAD Admin Center (one hotkey, default Home) with
server-side admin validation, module buttons for every other ZYAD mod, global settings and the
analytics link to the dashboard. Required by all other ZYAD mods. |
| ZYADEvents | Live events run by admins: a wheel of fortune (presets, prizes, jackpot), the mutant boss (health bar, phases, loot, damage ranking, auto-spawn) and broadcast announcements to everyone — instantly, as a countdown or on an automatic rotation. |
| ZYADTrader | Trader system: NPCs placed by coordinate, a full in-game offer editor (prices, categories, stock, weapon kits), currency with change or classic bartering, condition-based sell prices, safe zones and vehicle sales with test drives. Not released yet. |
| ZYADRaidBases | Raid bases (documentation to follow). |
What is the dashboard?
The ZYAD Dashboard shows your servers' statistics in the browser. The overview answers the most important question first — is everything running? — and below that shows one tile per module: Wheel & Boss, Trader, and whatever comes next. One click takes you to that module's own page: winners and boss statistics on one, money flow and popular offers on the other. Next to it are the raw data of all modules with filters and the player profile. New ZYAD modules appear automatically as soon as they report their first event. Your DayZ server sends events outgoing only over HTTPS to our API — there is no back channel: nobody can control your server through the dashboard. See "Analytics setup" for how to connect a server.
