5.) Double click dayz.gproj - if prompted to run with an application, be sure to choose Workbench (you can find this in steamapps/common/DayZ Tools/Bin/Workbench)
6.) Upon opening workbench, navigate to Workbench -> Options on the top navbar. Set "Source Data Directory" to your DayZ install location (example: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/DayZ Exp). Restart workbench when prompted. (Upon restarting you will need to close and reopen P:/YourModPrefix/dayz.gproj)
7.) Navigate to Plugins -> Settings -> Configure Project (note: if the plugins folder is empty, you may need to click 'Settings -> Reload WB Scripts')
8.) Set the Repository value to the installation location of your downloaded mod. (example: C:\Dev\proj\DayZ-Mod-Prefix)
9.) (optional) Enable FilePatching in your configuration. This will be handled by the plugin automatically and load scripts / gui ingame without a repack required.
10.) Press F6, or Plugins -> Launch Game . If you've installed everything properly (and have all of our mods downloaded) your game will launch with a virtual mission created in your P:/ drive.
11.) (not optional) Make some badass mods
Any folders inside of the ModTemplate directory will be converted into PBO's (excluding the Workbench folder)
