zyros Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hey everyone, I'm currently running a dedicated PZ server on Debian 7. I've successfully managed to soft-reset a locally hosted test server on windows with the SoftWipe.bat file, so I managed to figure out the process. My problem is when I try to do it on my Linux server. Does anyone know how I can go about converting the .bat into a script for Linux, or does anyone know where I can find someone who has already done this?Sorry in advance if I'm missing something obvious - like a file I can simply install to run .bat files on Linux or something. I'm pretty new at Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyros Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 So after some additional searching, I read something mentioning that the current iwillbackupmysave version of PZ fixes the memory problems with the SoftWipe.bat file. Tested it and indeed it does! I'm still interested in finding out the answer to my original question, but to anyone else trying to do a softwipe on a linux server, you can simply download the map files to your windows PC, change your PZ installation to the iwillbackupmysave version, run the batch file, and then upload the cleaned files back to your linux server. I was already aware of this workaround before, but since my windows computer is a wimpy 4-gig compared to the linux server I'm renting, I could only reset 10 files at a time before the program crashed. Screw. That. The fixed .bat file does the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connall Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'll take a look at the file and see if I can't convert it into a script for Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 is there SoftWipe.bat on win servers or is it still made the old way via adding some command to the ProjectZomboidServer.bat ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harakka Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's no .bat shipped with the game currently as far as I know. On both platforms, soft reset is performed simply by adding -Dsoftreset to the commandline parameters. You may also need to allocate more memory by increasing the -Xms and -Xmx parameters.
