Settings ServerSettings won't save

[Dragonbahn]

I'm hosting a server with hamachi and it works perfect but how do I get to the sandbox settings. I tried to use PZServerSettings but they won't save. HOW DO I DO THIS

And also, how do I reset the server

Yeah, I just tried to use PZServerSettings.exe on windows on build28-public and I couldn't seem to find the directory that would make it happy to save.

 

Anyway, how to do things manually!

In your Zomboid\Server directory you should have a $servername_SandboxVars.lua file with the settings.

If that file does not exist you can copy it from Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\Sandbox\SandboxVars.lua

Just make sure to rename it properly. Your server name will match the $servername.ini file that is also in that directory (typically it's servertest.)

Note that WaterShutModifier and ElecShutModifier are the raw number of nights from server game start until water/power shut off.

 

You can safely shutdown the server with the admin commands /save and /quit.

 

See http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/6016-multiplayer-faq/#restart for resetting the world though I think the directory is now Zomboid\Multiplayer\$servername instead of Sandbox

That is, it will be called servertest_SandboxVars.lua and be placed in %username%\zomboid\server

Best just to pretend the program doesn't exist and manually alter the file.
