As some server owners may notice they don't have side chat in game, for example: DayZ.ST has the option to enable side chat through the control panel but when you go into the game you still aren't able to use it. This is going to show you how to enable or disable certain channels on your server.

Items you will need:
  • PboView (or any other type of pbo manager)
  • Notepad/Notepad ++
  • Mission.pbo
Once you have your mission.pbo you will need to unpack it with your pbo manager of choice.

The next step will be to open the folder that was extracted you will see 3 files, the one you will want to open in notepad/notepad ++ is description.ext.

Once you have opened the file you will need to look for this line:
Code:
disableChannels[]={0,1,2,6};
Replace that line with:
Code:
disableChannels[]={0,2,6};
Now this will disable Global Chat, Command Chat, and System Chat. This leaves Side, Group, Vehicle, and Direct chat channels open for players to use.

This is a list of each channel type and the number associated with it if you want to enable/disable one.
Code:
0 = Global
1 = Side
2 = Command
3 = Group
4 = Vehicle
5 = Direct
6 = System

After you have replaced that simply save the file and repack the folder up with the pbo manager and upload it to your server and restart it.
