RumbleBunny

Heh thank you, and yeah it is, but I half expect it with the mentality of a lot of online gamers these days. ALSO IMPORTANT: Delete your save file before joining if you were playing before, it can cause performance issues. It should be located in C:\Users\YourUsername\zomboid\multiplayer by default.

Thanks, still works fine with IWBUMS 29 for me! Got it working right away. This tool is going to be really useful.

'Tis back up, with more stuff in place! First post updated.

Server down until tomorrow morning whilst I clean up the mess some hacker did when I was unable to login to the place for a day. Apologies. It has also had to be wiped but luckily it had only been up for a couple of days.

I ended up wiping the whole thing in the end as I was fiddling about with stuff for a good couple of hours to no avail earlier, it's set up much differently to servers I've run before. That was before you posted this, but I am going to put what you've said in a notepad for future reference so thank you! The server hadn't been up long so not much was lost. It's all a learning curve I guess. I can't post that log now that had all the hack stuff in it, I should have backed it up but was getting stressed so just slipped my mind, gonna kick myself I should have done it. It was basically like this: someone had managed to log in under the name "admin" by guessing the password after trying multiple times, which is beyond belief how they got it was it was just random numbers and letters. I'm not sure how either as the admin account wasn't even called admin. They were banning loads of players, spawning loads of guns and ammo in, making themselves be in godmode and invisible, just all the typical stuff you'd expect really. Seems completely pointless on a game like this as well. I think as much as I would rather keep the server public, I might have to make it whitelist only for now until there's some kind of proper anti-hack in place.

Nope, zilch, that's what I can't understand. The only thing that shows in the console is "RumbleBunny is trying to connect" and that's it. I've left it for up to 30 mins before, just tried logging in and gone off to something else, come back and nothing's changed. I've noticed that sadly whilst I haven't been able to login with this problem, there's been a hacker on, so I assume that's why my password is suddenly wrong when I take admin off. Can't change it via the console either as it says the old password is wrong, so I am assuming the hacker has changed it. There is no proper anti-hack for the game yet is there? I've got the admin tools by JonSyn but haven't even had chance to put them in yet.

Same username in game as on here.

It's as simple as the topic title - I've been unable to join my server ever since I made myself admin. No errors in the command box at all, just says I'm trying to join and on client side it just says "Connecting...", and I don't even get prompted to put my password in like I should be doing. If I remove admin, I can then put my password in, but it says it's wrong even though I've copied and pasted it from the one it gave me in the command box and made sure there's no spaces in it. I can't find anywhere to change the password either, so I'm stuck in a bit of a pickle here. I need to be able to login to moderate it but it seems impossible at the moment, for all I know it could be getting ravaged by hackers. Tried several restarts of the server as well after making each change. Running the latest IWBUMS on a dedicated box.

I just started playing this tonight and my first impressions are good good good! Won't post any spoilers without tags either just to get that out there. I reached the part just after First of all, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. Everything looks so smooth and realistic, the lighting is lovely too. The whole atmosphere of the game is really well done, once you reach Sevastopol Station you can't really settle or feel comfortable at all, which is how survival horror should be, it's so tense. Encountering an Alien for the first time (and it killed me of course) really sent the shitters up me to put it bluntly! Look forward to playing more, well sort of, I must love being on edge. Haven't played a horror gamer with such great first impressions since the playable demo of Silent Hills, P.T. I hope it continues!

I know that feeling with the saw, I've been dying to get one but haven't found one yet at all! And lost my trusty axe when I died from injured breasts, apparently. Love it.

uwotm8 You can't be as nooby as me at the game surely haha, average lifespan of four in game days right now. Slowly getting better though. Decided to try a soft reset now to test it out, backed up some data files in case it all goes tits up. EDIT: Soft reset worked fine, will be doing it every week rather than every 2 weeks.

Ahhh okay, thanks I'll give that a try now! EDIT: that worked perfectly. Thank you.

Yeah I'm logged into it when I try, that's why I don't understand it's saying the username doesn't exist. Cause it's there, on the console, showing I'm in the game.

Got mine up and running using 29.3 today, up to 40 players at the moment, could increase it as well if it started getting full. Linky. Will try to convince more of my friends to get the game as well, we all love survival games so hopefully I can nag them into submission. I'm good at that. I think.

I can't seem to grant admin rights to anyone. For example when I type into the console grantadmin "RumbleBunny" it says User RumbleBunny doesn't exist, when it does. I've tried a couple of different usernames for myself but I get the same error every time. Is there a file anywhere I can edit manually or am I doing something wrong? I'll kick myself if I'm missing something obvious.

Hello all, fairly new to Project Zomboid but I'm not new to running game servers, but bear with me if I balls anything up or I'm a bit slow with something! You must have the latest IWBUMS Build 29.3 to join this server, check the topic here for how to get that. Server IP - 109.236.89.121 Port - 16261 Teamspeak - UKSS.eu Dedicated server hosted in Luxembourg20 player slots (found this to be most stable for lag spikes etc...)Days are 1 hour longSever will be up 24/7 unless there's an issue serverside or.......when it's the soft reset on SaturdaysLoot and Zeds respawn every 12 hours, crates with 4 items or more in will be excluded from thatZombies are average difficulty at the moment, but expect that to change too as I tweak with the way they workWater and electricity will go off at any point within 28 days, so stock up your suppliesRoleplay based PVP: PVP is an essential element in survival games in my opinion, but we don't want it to become an all out shoot on sight deathmatch. Example - if you catch someone stealing your stuff, go ahead and take them out! Safety option is available for those not wanting to engage in PVP at all.Simple rules - No griefing and sidechat wars, no hacking/exploits, just enjoy yourselves and play the game without ruining it for others. People breaking the rules will be banned.PLEASE report people hacking/exploiting or breaking the rules (preferably with some kind of proof if possible) in this topic if I am not on the sever! Any feedback or player suggestions are welcome for the way it's set up, but bear in mind I don't want the server to become easy where everything is spoon-fed to you on a plate. That's no fun!

Excellent, I'll update to it now and get it setup!

I just fixed than in the latest build 29.3, but no public server run it for now.. We'll prob see the improvement once it goes public Oh nice, I'll be sure to upgrade to that when it's available for servers and post feedback about it! I have no problem trying unstable/test builds, I mean how else are you going to fix problems and even discover them to begin with? I haven't played this game for very long but I already love it, so happy to help out with testing stuff for sure.

I recently starting hosting a server on my dedibox based in France, and I think the only time my ping jumps up from being say 20-30 is when someone joins, jumps up to maybe 200 for about 10-30 seconds max then goes back down, no errors in the command box that seem related and the network certainly isn't near it's limit. Doesn't seem to cause an issue really though, can still hit zeds as normal, they just might rubberband a teeny bit. I found the server really easy to set up to be honest did it in about 10 minutes, but then again I'm used to setting up servers for Arma and Minecraft with mods and custom scripts which can be amazingly infuriating! The only things I'd be happy to see is a kind of Rcon tool one day or something along those lines. Unless there is and I've missed it!
