Iron Chronicle Tool Suite

The Definitive Console DayZ Admin Toolkit (Nitrado-Focused)

Cross-platform (Windows + Linux) desktop toolkit built by an active DayZ server owner to eliminate manual XML headaches for console admins.

Closed-source for now and built for the DayZ console admin community.

Not affiliated with Bohemia Interactive or Nitrado.

Why This Exists

Console DayZ admins are forced to:

• Manually edit XML
• Balance the CE blindly
• Guess at RPT errors
• Fight unreliable file uploads
• Work around Nitrado quirks

Iron Chronicle Tool Suite was built to fix that.

Core Capabilities (High-Level)

• Full Nitrado API integration (service-scoped long-life token)
• Guided XML & JSON editors (guardrails + export + upload)
• Dedicated Messages Editor for direct messages.xml editing with quick insert helpers
• Drag-and-drop map visualizers (spawn points, event spawns, territories)
• CE balancing surfaces (types, limits library, globals, spawnable types)
• RPT log analysis (common pattern detection)
• Upload strategy controller (API + FTP fallback)
• Cross-tool Limits library integration (shared categories/tags/usage/value)
• Automatic updates (in-app updater)

What Makes This Different

• Built specifically for console servers
• Designed around Nitrado limitations (and the failure modes console admins actually hit)
• Real-world server-tested workflows
• Guardrails that help prevent economy-breaking mistakes
• Structured validation where possible (schemas / known-safe constraints)
• Designed by someone who runs servers, not just edits files

Installation

This repo contains the app project and tool pages. End-user installers are published in a separate releases repo.

Download

Get the latest installers from the IC-ToolSuite-App releases:

https://github.com/ScullyXlife/IC-ToolSuite-App/releases

Desktop stable and Android beta artifacts are both published from the same releases feed.

Windows install

1. Download one of these files:
   • IC.ToolSuite_*_x64_en-US.msi (Full)
   • *_lite-map-sideload.msi (Lite flavor, smaller installer)
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
3. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, choose "More info" then "Run anyway."

Linux install (deb)

1. Download IC ToolSuite_*_amd64.deb from the releases page.
   • Lite flavor uses *_lite-map-sideload.deb and downloads tiled map packs on demand.
2. Install it with:

sudo dpkg -i "IC ToolSuite_*_amd64.deb"
sudo apt -f install -y

Updates

Use Settings → App Updates inside the app to check and install updates.

Build Workflows (Lite Only)

Lite workflows are the default and exclude bundled map tiles from dist/; map tools install map packs on demand.

• Dev: npm run dev
• Build: npm run build
• Signed build: npm run build:signed

Legacy full commands remain available only as explicit overrides.

• Full dev override: npm run dev:full
• Full build override: npm run build:full
• Full signed build override: npm run build:signed:full

Map pack release helpers:

• Package map zips + update map manifest checksums/urls: npm run maps:package
• Package tools bundle (lite default): npm run tools:package

Nitrado Token Setup (Required)

IC Tool Suite only needs a single long-life Nitrado API token.

• For most operations you do not need FTP host/user/password in IC Tool Suite.
• If Nitrado file_server/upload is unreliable for your service (common on some console servers), IC Tool Suite can use FTP upload fallback. Configure it in Settings → Nitrado Controller.
• Add your token in Settings → Nitrado Tokens, then click Load Services and select your server.
• In multi-service or multi-token setups, the app remembers token-to-service bindings to keep requests pinned to the correct stored token per service.

On the Nitrado long-life token page, enable this scope:

• service

That is the scope IC Tool Suite uses for service listing and file-server operations.

You can leave these unchecked unless you need them for other tools/scripts:

• rootserver
• ssh_keys
• service_order
• user_edit
• user_info

With service enabled, the token covers these API paths used by the app:

• /services
• /services/{id}/gameservers/file_server
• /services/{id}/gameservers/file_server/list
• /services/{id}/gameservers/file_server/download
• /services/{id}/gameservers/file_server/upload

Nitrado Controller (Recommended)

In Settings → Nitrado Controller, choose an upload strategy:

• Auto (default): API upload first, then FTP fallback if upload fails
• API: force API upload
• FTP: force FTP upload
