DayZ classnames: every item by category

A classname is the internal name of an item in the game config, for example M4A1 for the rifle players see as M4-A1. Server files, admin tools and trader configs all refer to items by classname, never by the name on screen.

Every classname by category

Each category page lists all of its classnames with weight, size and spawn numbers per map, and every item page shows the classname with a copy button.

Where admins use classnames

• The economy files of the mission: types.xml in DayZ: every field explained, cfgspawnabletypes.xml in DayZ: attachments, cargo and damage and events.xml in DayZ: vehicles, crashes and animals.
• Starting gear in init.c: player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("BandageDressing");
• Spawn menus of admin tools and trader configs of mods.

Colors and variants

Each color of an item is a separate classname: the T-shirt, for example, comes in nine. Their numbers in types.xml are set for each classname on its own, so turning off one color does not touch the others. In the item database variants share one page with a table of all their classnames, for example .

Classnames of mod items

Mods add their own classnames in the mod's config. They are usually listed on the mod's Workshop page or in its documentation, and admin tools show them in their spawn menus. the item database covers the vanilla game.

Copy, do not type

One wrong letter and the item never spawns, while the server keeps running as if nothing happened. Copy classnames from the item pages instead of typing them.
