Hey Folks, i tried the last hours to set up a linux server for Project Zomboid and it was very difficult to find some usefull informations, because all of it was very old. So i want to share my short solution of setting up the server successfull at the end. The instruction is for users with basic to advanced knowledge about linux. 1. Open the ports of you Router for UDP/TCP: 16261 bis 162XX (XX = 61+<number of players>) 8766 bis 8767 27015 (TCP should be enough) 2. install steamcmd and login (for login: "login <username> <password>") Follow this instructions: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux 3. after login insert: "app_update 380870 validate" 4. go to the PZ folder in Steam/steamapps/common/... or where you forced the installation to. 5. "./start-server.sh" (give it some time, the process is not ready in a few seconds) 6. insert and confirm an admin password and wait until the process shows "Server Started" (or something like this) 7. shut it down and go to the folder: /home/<user>/Zomboid/Server/ 8. edit servertest.ini (more or less important stats: MaxPlayers / RCONPassword / Password / server_browser_announced_ip; If you want to host a public Server, you need to edit the PUBLIC stats) 9. start the server with "./start-server.sh" again. You should be able to connect now 10. optional: start/stop Script to start the server, create a new file with a name like "startZomboid.sh" and insert (Maybe you need to create the "output" folder in you user-space first): #!/bin/bash nohup ./start-server.sh &>/home/<user>/output/zomboid & disown and to stop the server create "startZomboid.sh" and insert: #!/bin/bash TEST=`ps -e | grep ProjectZomboid6 2>&1` kill $TEST | cut -d' ' -f1 If you have any questions, hints or improvements, tell me

Can somebody explain how to work with with blood splats? What type this is? How I can check it is present at current square or not and how I can add or remove it? After some time of debugging I find what IsoGridSquare has two methods bloodSpalt(...) and DoSplat(...). I think what DoSplat is adding splats on a square. But how detect and remove splats from it?

Hi guys I know some of you are considering diving in to mod making. I'd like to share some resources I made for that. Adding items, weapons and recipes does not require programming abilities. Everyone can do it, I promise Check The basics of adding items and recipes if you would like to learn how to add your own weapons, foods or other items to the game. There's also a tutorial showing how to add your own sprites to the game made by RoboMat. If you have experience with another programming language check out this hello world example Your first project zomboid lua script Also there's a Lua syntax reference Further more there's a popular event reference for the more trained LUA modders. This list shows the possible events our functions can hook up too. There's currently no commenting feature on pz-mods.net, so comments and features are greatly appreciated here. (Has been added now) And of course if you would like to share your mods, please submit them to pz-mods.net and we'll take good care of them. pz-mods.net is closed to new mods as the website is likely to be phased out. That's all. Hope you have fun with it.

So I started my own server for me and my friends to play on PZ but everyone talks about their account details. I know your character is 100% randomly generated but what do I type in of the filter? Is it my steam details or something else?
