Monetisation

Written down and published before the first item goes on sale, so you can hold us to it. The short version: nothing is on sale today, and camouflage will never cost money.

Status: nothing is on sale. This page is the monetisation programme for BZA Chernarus 1PP (57.128.250.248:2302) as filed with Bohemia Interactive's server monetisation programme. Until Bohemia approves it nothing is for sale — no shop, no VIP queue, no paid colours — and we are not taking donations either. Approved servers are listed publicly by Bohemia; when this server appears there, prices and a store link will be published on this page, announced in Discord first.

The one rule

Camouflage is survival, so it is free. Style is a luxury, so it is what we sell.

Everything in BZA PaintMod that can help you hide is earned in game, on the same terms for everyone: the dark and military base palette, every pattern, every camo colour scheme. That progression — finding paint cans as regular world loot — involves no payment anywhere, and ghillie gear cannot be painted at all. The paid part of the palette is the bright end: white, red, pink and their neighbours. Bright paint makes you easier to spot, not harder. Buying it is a handicap you choose for the look.

PaintMod contentHow you get it
Dark & military base paletteFree, in game.
All patterns (stencils)Free — learned from paint cans found as world loot.
All camo colour schemesFree — military paint cans from high-tier loot and caches.
Bright colours (white, red, pink…)Paid, only once approval arrives — solid or inside patterns.
Decorative symbols & emblemsPaid, planned later under the same rule.
Ghillie gearCannot be painted at all — by design.

What goes on sale once approved

1. Priority login queue (VIP)

Your place in the login queue when the server is full — and that is the entire product. No gameplay perks of any kind are attached to it.

2. Bright colours in BZA PaintMod

The mod is written entirely by us — own code, own textures (Steam Workshop ID 3770991635) — and painting is strictly visual: a painted item keeps exact vanilla stats. Damage, protection, capacity, weight, dispersion — nothing changes. What money would buy is the bright part of the palette, usable as solid colours and inside patterns, and later a pack of decorative symbols and emblems.

3. Donations

Optional, with nothing locked behind them. A donation buys nothing except the warm feeling.

What will never be for sale

This list is the same one we filed with Bohemia. If a future idea does not pass the cosmetic-and-non-advantageous test, it does not happen.

Third-party mods

Four utility mods load alongside PaintMod: Community Framework, VPPAdminTools, Ear Plugs and Autorun Upgraded. None of them is monetised here, none sits behind a paywall, and each one permits use on monetised servers per its Workshop page — quotes and screenshots available on request. The shop will only ever sell the two items above: queue priority, and bright paint in our own mod.

Platform, prices and refunds

When the store opens it will run on a hosted platform built for game servers (Tebex or CFTools Cloud), so payments, EU VAT, refunds and chargebacks are handled by a proper merchant of record — we never see your card. Final prices appear on this page before the first item is sold.
