I am new to lua editing and scripting. I have made a mod adding new items, along with distribution scripts. However, I cannot make my mod work properly. It appears in the in-game mod list, but when I enable it and reload lua, it disables automatically. I think my scripting was the problem. I scripted the items in .txt, but the distribution script is in .lua. I need someone with good scripting experience who understands the language to revise my mod. If done successfully, you will be credited in my mod. E-mail me at becenti_j@hotmail.com and I will respond with the mod attached. Thank you in advance.

I'm hosting a private server for just me and my friends via hamachi. It was working rather well until there was a power surge in my area. Both me and one of my friends playing were immediately kicked from the server because my computer had shut off, thus ending it abruptly. After which, we came back into the game to find that for some reason the in game time had jumped ahead several months. It was from July 30th, to January 1st. And our characters nearly froze to death. I also found this odd because by default the power was set to go out anytime between 0-2 months. Yet it was still on. Because of that fact I decided I'd reset my server to the first day. I did this by deleting Map_t.bin and map_meta.bin. Doing this usually allows me to reset the server time which turns the power and water back on but leaves everything else alone, loot, zombies, and player built walls etc. This time however, this happened: http://postimg.org/image/kdhoj05ml/ We're all experiencing the issue on the server. However, we're each experiencing it differently. Edit* Forgot to mention that the black bits aren't passable and make a square around my base. There's no way past them and I can see cells after them. I tried deleting the files again, and I also tried restoring the map_t and map_meta originally deleted, this brought the game time back to January, however the glitch remained. If anyone has any experience with this I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Hello, I'm new to modding Project Zomboid and, if someone has a moment, I'm having a few difficulties. My questions revolve around an issue I'm having where I'm not able to use 'require' to get my other modules like I normally would. Here is what I would like to do in a bare bones example: --File: media/lua/server/MyMod/MyMod.lua MyMod = {} print('Setting up...'); MyMod.module1 = require 'MyMod/Module1.lua'; print('Loaded module: '..MyMod.module1.foo()); --File: media/lua/server/MyMod/Module1.lua local M = {} function M.foo() return 'I\'m Module1!'; end return M; When I load the mod I get an exception telling me MyMod.module1 is null, when I expect to get my returned Module1 table, or an exception that it could not find the file. --Output: Loading: ../media/lua/server/MyMod/MyMod.lua Setting up... ----------------------------------------- attempted index: foo of non-table: null ----------------------------------------- So, if you bare with me I have three related questions: 1. Does PZ stop me from using require to load other lua files? why? (or am I doing it wrong?) 2. Why does PZ load every .lua file in my mod. I normally expect a single point of entry, such as loading the file "MyMod/MyMod.lua" which would then allow me to decide what modules the mod loads. Is there a reason it doesn't have a single point of entry and how should I be using this to my advantage? 3. Other mods declare their modules using their mod name as a prefix to avoid possible conflicts; I was hoping I could avoid pollution of the global scope and just have everything under one roof, i.e inside MyMod, instead of MyMod;MyModModule1;MyModModule2;etc. Is there any way to do this? Thanks for reading, Any questions/clarifications please ask! Logan. Update: I'm guessing my issue with require() has something to do with the differences between Kahlua2 and Lua 5.1? (only because my example works fine using Lua 5.1) -
I made a post about port forwarding. And I still haven't figured it out. I got a program for doing it and yet again I have failed at forwarding. I post some screens of the program, and the stuffs. Please help me. WE ARE DOOMED

Hi guys.I really need help ASAP. I can connect to my server via 127.0.0.1, but I can't connect with my public IP. My friends also can't connect. Please help me! I think It may be a port forwarding issue. On some port checkers it says my ports are open, but on others they're not. Also I tried allowing them through my firewall and I tried opening them, but I don't think it worked.

Hello everyone! I'm VenomDG and i've noticed while playing multiplayer that you CAN NOT sleep. This is an issue due to some sicknesses only being curable with sleep and rest. The main and most common being nausea. Me and my friends have tried many things and tried searching up MANY times on how to fix this issue but the only cure we found was sleep. We have died every time we were effected by this which sucks because as soon as you see you know your queasy, And that leads to one inescapable thing... Adding the ability to sleep in multiplayer sort of like how minecraft does with everyone needing to sleep at once for it to work, or just making it where you lay in a bed and you have a 5 minute timer or something and need to wait while your character rests would be AMAZING. I'm tired of dying every time from a sickness you practically cant avoid. Hopefully something will be added in to cure nausea besides sleep or sleep added to multiplayer. Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone, First and foremost I'd like to say I love this game ( the small amount of time I have actually played). But the main reason I bought it was to play with a buddy of mine. We are mostly wanting to play alone which means, we aren't really up for joining a random server. With that said, I hosted my own for the two of us and finally we got it to work today using Hamachi (Sadly we couldn't ever connect without it). While playing we discovered that PvP was a problem and other things we may what to check. I have looked at many different posts and threads about servers, server options, and changing everything. But most of these seem to be pre-update 26 or maybe my computer just displays things differently than others. First Question: Where exactly is my server folder everyone talks about? I have found the following in the media folder than the lua (see below). But after opening it there is no serverOptions.ini file or anything (see below). Am I missing something? Looking in the wrong area? Any help on this matter would be welcomed. Second Question: To "restart" the server. What do I need to delete? Is it found in the Sandbox File shown in the following picture? If so what file needs to be delete? Or does the whole folder need to be delete (See below for files found in the folder). Or is it somewhere else that I have missed? Thanks for any help that can be given. Like I said above I looked through countless post and threads searching for answers. I am new to this whole running servers and such. I just need a bit of help and guidance. -Prongs

I tried running a server with the new build 26 but alas, it prints out this error everytime someone tries to log in. I tried using my external and internal IP without success. Tried hosting it on two different machines. - I5-3570K | 8GB RAM | HD7950 and Athlon 2650e | 1.5GB RAM | Mobility X1200 - Windows 8.1 X64 and Windows Home Server 2008 R2 - ~30mbps for both upload and download - Used steam to verify the integrity, deleted my server files and started a new one from scratch - Here is the code printed when I try to log : ID_NEW_INCOMING_CONNECTIONid=0 guid=81065501593803479User Xorg is trying to connect.java.lang.NullPointerException at zombie.network.ServerWorldDatabase.authClient(ServerWorldDatabase.java:239) at zombie.network.GameServer.mainLoopDealWithNetData(GameServer.java:1056) at zombie.network.GameServer.main(GameServer.java:271)ID_DISCONNECTION_NOTIFICATION-The server runs on a physical machine.

Hello, I'm having a really frustrating bug where I can play Build 23 fine but Builds 25 & 26 when I start up a world, I can't see my character, just the shadow! Please Help me. http://imgur.com/adhfdWp

For some reason me and my friends are having the problem of players not being able to load the map around them, resulting in basically an unpassable black border while they're stuck on a part of the map. All of us can host games and everyone is able to join them, however there is always 1 person who has this bug. Everyone has their ports forwarded and can join successfully, but there's always at least 1 person who can't load the map and they become stuck in a square. Anyone know if there's a fix to this?

Hello I'm gonna get right to the matter I need help with. Basically I've installed MindMod, RMLockPicking, RMUtility successfully, and I wanted to try and install the Super Powers mod into my Project Zomboid folder, I transferred my mods from C:\User\[Me]\Zomboid\mods to C:\Users\[Me]\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\mods and then I put the other stuff like the stuff that goes in UI into C:\Users\[Me]\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\ui\Traits And Sound in C:\Users\[Me]\Desktop\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\sound Everything worked fine until I tried installing that mod, I left SuperPowers in C:\User\[Me]\Zomboid\mods and it worked perfectly, I also left CraftHelper in there (I also tried installing that) and again it was fine! But when I tried installing it, I ran every beta mode I had in there, and it still didn't work. I used to just use Beta and now it won't work, when I enter the game the main menu won't appear, (the screen with the guy and woman in the night near a window and the logo is there, but the stuff like, EXIT, Options, Mods, stuff like that, dosen't appear, I reload the game in Build23, and it says the mods are there, all ticked and working, I go into a save and start playing, MindMod won't work, and whilst it's something I can live with whilst doing Vanilla gameplay, say if I suddenly want to play Mods, it's gonna be annoying. So anyway if anyone has an answer on how to fix this please tell me, I really want to know what's wrong.

Then ever I place a window on a exterior wall, it either places a window inside the window, or pushes the window to the side. Please help me resolve this issue, since I can't continue on my building untill it's fixed somehow.

I am trying to make a juice mod (Don't know if there's already one out there, it is more of a way of learning than making something new), but some of the icon textures in the inventory will not show up. This one works: item juicer{Weight = 0.5,Type = Normal,DisplayName = Hand Juicer,Icon = juicer.png,} But this one doesn't: item orangeJuice{HungerChange = -10,ThirstChange = -40,Weight = 1.0,Type = Food,DisplayName = Orange Juice,DaysFresh = 12,DaysTotallyRotten = 15,ReplaceOnUse = MuglIcon = orangejuice.png,} Does anyone have any ideas on what may be going wrong? I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

So..... me and my friend (Josef733 on the forums) have run into a pretty annoying issue. I tried to hold up a server for both of us. I did like it said on the Multiplayer post by nasko: 1) Run the .bat file 2) Put my ip 3) have fun. And I was really pleased it was supposed to be so simple, but I get "connection failed". We tried having our hamachi network on, but no luck . I tried multiple IPs: 87.xx.xx.xx, 127.0.0.1, my hamachi IPv4 (25.xxx.xx.xx) and localhost. The localhost worked for me, but obliously not for Josef733... We are both running build 25b, so we should be working, but no luck... ((( Please help us . Help would be appreciated I added my console log, if that helps anything http://pastebin.com/sxJXRwZp

Hey guys Matthew here, I was wondering how I turn zombies to none and make them all dissapear off the map. I know this kind of makes me look like a noob and that the whole game revolves around zombies but my friend and I just want to make a really good base without being attacked 1000 times like we have been. I have already set the zombies to none in the Project Zomboid Server settings but there was still zombies in my game, does the "None" option mean they all despawn or does it mean they wont spawn back. Please can someone tell me! Thanks -Matthew

==PLEASE HELP== Hey everyone Matthew here! One of my friends asked me today if it is possible to play Last Stand on multiplayer, I said I wasn't sure so I thought i would ask on here as my last resort after about 30 minutes of googling. I have ports open and I can play multiplayer fine I just want to know if you can change the map or play a custom map in Multiplayer, at the moment I have a feeling it isn't and if its not please can someone inform me if it will be added. Thanks -Matthew ==Please try to respond in the next few hours if it is possible or not!==

So I left the game all night and checked in the morning , no updates , same error. I am not sure if its that I need to change from build 24-25 or not and I have no clue on how to do it. Please I help. Plus is there any way to turn down the music in the settings that I have missed? Thanks -
Hey guys, I really need some step by step instructions on how to run a PZ server for a mate and I. If you coukd link me to a video or give me instructions, I would be VERY grateful. Thanks in advance

Greetings, I've been greatly enjoying PZ since first exposed to it late last year. I've started running a server on my own and was wondering if the starting locations of players can be changed or even randomized? On a side note, can custom maps be used in MP as well? Thanks!

Hi guys, I recently started playing Project Zomboid multiplayer, and I played it with a friend for about an hour or two with no problems. Eventually we got split up and he died, so we had to restart the server and make a new world to start a fresh. Unfortunately, upon restarting the server, and deleting the server files, I was unable to connect to his server. I did a full uninstall and reinstall, which seemed to fix the problem, but then he was able to go past black areas in the map that I wasn't, as if my game hadn't rendered the chunks of the map. My internet is completely fine, with 30mb/s down and 2mb/s up I don't see why it would be a problem. We're playing through Hamachi, so I assume port forwarding isn't a problem, but I'm not completely sure. Please help me with this, because I really enjoy this game, and I want to play it more. George.

As a huge fan of Project Zomboid and a server hoster myself, I am currently wondering if anyone (devs, admins, mods, or players) knows the day/month/year we will have multiplayer mods for server hosters. Any hints toward such knowledge is greatly appreciated!

FIXED!

So, again with the cabbage, must of got a rotten one, and i was in total agony and sickness, i thought : ''Hey, didn't i have some painkillers in the bathroom?'' I go check, and the answer was no. I got through all the safehouse to get some medicine, but nothing. Then i decided to go hunt some medicine, at the Cortman medical, was just a street away. After fighting off some zeds and ''stealthily'' got in the building, took all i could. Filled my 2 bags and whole inventory with pills and bandages and rushed home. When i was rushing home ( This may be a better way for you to think the situation: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/#0.5119739877537026,0.2147564158147237,55.206143891243606 My house is the one with the white fence, which has walls being built partially, and no door on the wall.) I found that a horde of zombies was following me. At the point i was almost dead, i reached my house, and kept all the medicine in the bathroom. Then... BUMP.... BUMP.. BUMP... The zeds knew where my safehouse was, and they are banging on the door! I close all sheet curtains and lock try to barricade the door, when i remember... A forumer told me to only bring what i need. To the loot, i didn't bring nails, but i brought 3 planks accidentally. ''Damn it! Why didn't i bring the nails!'' I thought. I went to check the crate, but i had moved all the tools to the shed, that was outside the house. I locked myself in the bedroom, still in agony, and sickness growing. Also with alot of excertion, and no vitamins. Painkillers do nothing to the pain and i have heavy load, so.. Here i am! What should i do in this hard situation? Little Bob Morris is hanging in the bedroom , maybe dying because i got attacked too close to some zombies, and didnt have time to check health. No windows in the bedroom, all of them are probably being tried to break by the zombies.... I am between a rock and a hard place, and 95% of the outcome of this is death. I don't want to die in my bedroom! I wanted to die drunk and killing zombies with a shotgun at night. Do you think there is a way little Bob Morris may be spared?
