Usage

Installation:

Make sure that you have installed Community Framework by Jacob_Mango, Arkensor and Kegan Hollern
Download latest release
Add CF (Community Framework) and Server_Information_Panel to your game and server launch options. For example: -mod=@CF;@Server_Information_Panel;

Use the same mod version on client and server (RPC / config sync must match).

On server:

Copy file ServerPanel_V3.bikey from ServerPanel\keys into server keys folder
When the server starts, config will be created automatically if not found under $profile:\ServerPanel\
ServerPanel.json is generated or upgraded on first start. The authoritative file for multiplayer is on the server; clients receive settings from the server.
On version upgrade, the mod copies the current file to ServerPanel.json.bak before saving. If a backup cannot be used, it may be moved to ServerPanel.json.bak.rejected.
You can leave a link blank and the button will disappear, same for tabs

Recent changes (high-level)

Config recovery and stability
- The mod can recover configuration from ServerPanel.json.bak when the main file is missing/invalid.
- Invalid backups may be quarantined as ServerPanel.json.bak.rejected to avoid retry loops.
UI performance
- Reduced unnecessary UI updates (side panel snapshots, fewer redraws) for better responsiveness.
Tab UX
- Lightweight tab transitions when switching tabs.
- RichText content is fitted more reliably and tab scroll positions reset correctly.
Auto-open on first join
- Optional server setting to auto-open the panel once per player on that server (server-side persistence).

Json file — `ServerPanel.json`

The file name is ServerPanel.json (not ServerPanelConfig.json).

LOGLEVEL (module logger only; some Print("[ServerPanel] …") boot lines may still appear):

Value	Effect
`0`	No `ServerPanelLogger` output
`1`	Info, warnings, errors
`2`	Warnings and errors only
`3`	Errors only

DISABLE_PANEL_LOG_FILE: true = do not create ServerPanel_*.log under Profiles\...\ServerPanel\Logs\ (logging goes to console only, still filtered by LOGLEVEL). false = log file when possible.

Standard JSON does not allow // comments inside the file. Use the field reference table below the example for what each key does.

Field reference (`ServerPanel.json`)

Key	Type	Description
`VERSION`	string	Config format version the mod expects; used when loading, upgrading, and merging defaults. Should match the version shipped with your mod build (see release notes).
`SERVERNAME`	string	Title shown in the panel header.
`AUTO_OPEN_ON_FIRST_JOIN`	bool	If `true`, the panel auto-opens once per player (first join) on this server. The server tracks seen player IDs in `AutoOpenSeen.json` under `$profile:\ServerPanel\`.
`LOGLEVEL`	int `0`–`3`	Filters `ServerPanelLogger` output only; see the table earlier in this README. Some boot `Print("[ServerPanel] …")` lines may still appear on the server.
`DISABLE_PANEL_LOG_FILE`	bool	`true` = no `ServerPanel_*.log` files under `ServerPanel\Logs\` (console only when `LOGLEVEL` allows). `false` = write log files when possible.
`BUTTON1NAME` … `BUTTON3NAME`	string	Label for each of the three top link buttons.
`BUTTON1LINK` … `BUTTON3LINK`	string	URL for each button. If a link is empty, that button is hidden.
`DISPLAYPLAYERINFO`	bool	`true` = show the left side panel (player quick info / layout slot).
`DISPLAYPLAYERTAB`	bool	`true` = show the player stats tab.
`DISPLAYPLAYERLIST`	bool	`true` = show the player list in the side area (only meaningful when `DISPLAYPLAYERINFO` is `true`).
`DISPLAYPLAYERPOSITION`	bool	`true` = show the player’s world coordinates where the UI supports it.
`DISPLAYCRAFTTAB`	bool	`true` = show the crafting / recipes tab.
`DISPLAYCURRENCY`	bool	`true` = show the currency / money block only if the mod was built with Expansion Market support (`EXPANSIONMODMARKET`). Otherwise the block stays hidden.
`CURRENCYNAME`	string	Display name for the currency (e.g. `Rubles`) when the currency block is shown.
`DISPLAYPLOGO`	bool	`true` = show the logo above the player list when the list layout is active; `false` = no logo area.
`LOGOPATH`	string	Path to the logo: DayZ imageset string, or `.edds` / `.paa` path. Example: `"set:dayz_gui image:ProgressDayZFull"` or a path to your own asset in the pack.
`LOGO_WIDTH_PERCENTAGE`	float	Logo width as a percentage of the logo widget (e.g. `87.0` → 87%).
`LOGO_HEIGHT_PERCENTAGE`	float	Logo height as a percentage of the logo widget (e.g. `83.0` → 83%).
`BUTTONTAB0NAME` … `BUTTONTAB3NAME`	string	Tab button labels for the four custom HTML tabs. Empty or unused names can be adjusted to match your content.
`sServerTab0` … `sServerTab3`	array of strings	Each entry is an HTML fragment (`<h1>`, `<p>`, `<b>`, `<i>`, etc.) rendered as lines in that tab’s content. Tab `0` uses `sServerTab0`, and so on.

Booleans can be written as JSON true / false. Older files may still use 1 / 0; the mod normalizes them when loading.

A: Yes — change the binding in DayZ → Settings → Controls for the mod action SPOpenPanelMenu. The default preset uses Pause (KC_PAUSE).

This is WIP, It's my first mod and I work on this in my spare time. I will my best try to bring updates frequently!

No reuploads or repacking allowed.
