How to mod

json-file
The information is save in a json-file on the sdcard. json is a computer-language used to describe objects in a way computers can read, but it is also readable by humans. More information about json on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON

The file can be found in:
/sdcard/Android/data/nl.frankkie.dayz/files/DayZHelperItems.json
Copy this file from your device to your computer, edit it, and place it back. Make sure the application is not opend while you place the file back. Also make sure the filename is not changed, or the app will not be able to read it. Do not make mistakes in the file, or the application will crash! To check for errors: paste the text from the file on: http://jsonlint.com/. If there are no errors, the website will say: 'Valid JSON'.

Images:
place image-files in the same folder as the json-file (/sdcard/Android/data/nl.frankkie.dayz/files/). The filenames are irrelevent. The images must have a size of: 256x256 pixels. This is importent, else the app will display the images wrong. Both png and jpg files are supported. The items:
a normal item looks like this:


  {
        "cat": "Medical",
        "class": "nl.frankkie.dayz.DayZItem",
        "id": 0,
        "image": "Item_Bandage.png",
        "isFavo": false,
        "itemType": "item",
        "locations": [

        ],
        "magInfo": null,
        "name": "Bandage",
        "number": 1,
        "rarity": "",
        "url": "http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Bandage",
        "weaponInfo": null
    },

A weapon looks like this:


{
        "cat": "Weapon",
        "class": "nl.frankkie.dayz.DayZItem",
        "id": 18,
        "image": "Weapon_Revolver.png",
        "isFavo": false,
        "itemType": "item",
        "locations": [
            "Residential/Civilian"
        ],
        "magInfo": null,
        "name": "Revolver",
        "number": 0,
        "rarity": "Common",
        "url": "http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Revolver",
        "weaponInfo": {
            "attachments": [

            ],
            "class": "nl.frankkie.dayz.DayZWeapon",
            "damage": 1389,
            "effectiveRange": 100,
            "fireModes": [
                "Semi"
            ],
            "fireRate": "",
            "mags": [

            ],
            "noise": "Moderate",
            "recoil": "High",
            "shotsToKill": "body:3, head:1",
