Repository Setup

Follow these steps to clone the DayZ Mod Template, set up your project environment, and initialize your own Git repository.

Creating Your Project from a Template

Use the Template Repository:
- Navigate to the DayZ Mod Template repository on GitHub: [https://github.com/DayZ-n-Chill/DayZ-Colorful-UI/](https://github.com/DayZ-n-Chill/DayZ-Colorful-UI/)
- Click on the "Use this template" button near the top of the repository page.
Set Up Your New Repository:
- Enter a name for your new repository, like DayZ-MyServerName-UI.
- Optionally, provide a description.
- Choose the repository visibility (public or private).
- Click on "Create repository from template" to generate your new repository.

Cloning Your New Repository

Clone Your New Repository:
- Once your repository is created, clone it to your local machine:
```
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/DayZ-Mod-Name.git
```
- Replace yourusername with your actual GitHub username.
Navigate to the Cloned Directory:
- Change your directory to the one you just cloned:
```
cd DayZ-Mod-Name
```

Workbench

Mounting to the Workdrive

Run the Batch File to Mount:
- Navigate to the SetupWorkdrive.bat file in your mod directory.
```
../DayZ-Mod-Name/SetupWorkdrive.bat 
```
- Execute this batch file. It will automatically mount all folders containing a 'Workbench' folder in your repository directory to your Workdrive.

Opening the Project in Workbench

Access the Project Directory:
- Go to the mod's project directory:
```
../DayZ-Mod-Name/ModName/Workbench
```
- Here, you will find the dayz.gproj file.
Open the Project File:
- Double-click on dayz.gproj.
- If prompted, choose to open it with Workbench. You can find Workbench in steamapps/common/DayZ Tools/Bin/Workbench.

Configuring Source Data Directory in Workbench

This step only needs to be completed one time, unless you change your DayZ install directory.

Set the Source Data Directory:
- In Workbench, navigate to Workbench -> Options.
- Set "Source Data Directory" to your DayZ installation path, such as C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/DayZ Exp.
Handle the Restart Prompt:
- Upon setting the directory, a prompt to restart Workbench will appear. Select 'No' to decline this automatic restart.
Manually Restart Workbench:
- Close the Resource Browser to ensure all settings are applied.
- Exit and then reopen Workbench.
- Reopen the dayz.gproj file.

With Dabs Framework on your machine, your project will automatically have plugins built-in. To use these plugins, follow `Using the Workbench Plugins` in the wiki.
