[SOLVED] Help! Spawn location thumb and description not showing

[Boros]

[SOLVED]

After some research we noticed the thumb and description will only show if you have the map files in your gamne folder like this:

 

I compiled the files and gave it to my friends so they can download it and add it to the maps folder and after that everyone was able to see the thumb image and description.

 

Hope this can help anyone with similar problems!

Hi all!

I just rented a Nitrado PZ server with some friends. And we want to set a custom spawn location in the spawn location list.

We created a folder with the spawn coordinates, custom map.info and our own thumb.

 

 

And added the  line:

Quote

{ name = "Base Principal, KY", file = "media/maps/Base Principal, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },

to the servertest_spawnregions.lua.

 

I can see the spawn point in the list and it works fine it spawns me at the position I wanted but it doesn´t show any description or thumb image.

 

 

Any idea why? I am missing something?

 

Thank you very much

Hi, i'm having similar problem, can't figure out why. I'm making a custom spawn for Valley Station and LouisVille.

Here's a bit of code from server:

 

Quote

{ name = "LouisVille, KY", file = "media/maps/Louis, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },

 

then from client at media/maps/Louis, KY/

i have:

-map.info

-spawnpoints.lua

-thumb.png 

 

in map.info:

Quote

title=See media/lua/shared/Translate/EN/LouisVille, KY/title.txt
lots=Muldraugh, KY
fixed2x=true
description=See media/lua/shared/Translate/EN/LouisVille, KY/description.txt

 

then inside media/lua/shared/Translate/En/LouisVille

i have created a .txt file for description and title, yet no description, no thumb, but spawn location is working

If someone have any idea, i would gladly take any help to figure out

Adding screenshot of file

It seems the new update changed how the description is displayed.
I see you are doing it right just the name of the folder doesn't match. So my guess is it can't find the files you writed. Try to match the name so it works.

 

 

 

About the thumb image. Are you making sure everyone have the files in their computers? The files for the thumb and description should be on both server files and on everyones computer who wishes to join your server. Like this:
 

SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/media/maps/Your Folder Name

"Your Folder Name" Should match the folder name of your files in your case "LouisVille"

I haven't tried myself as soon as Im less busy I will try to set up a server on the new update.

Hope this can help you!
