TryHonesty's Tiles

For those having issues with hosting server, I found a comment on another thread that has worked for me:

Go to your server folder, open steamcmd folder,open steamcmd.exe and let it update. close it and copy these files from steamcmd to your Zomboid server folder and replace them.

steamclient.dll
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s.dll
tier0_s64.dll
vstdlib_s.dll
vstdlib_s64.dll

yeah i tried that jus dont work ill have to wait for the patch i guess to play

For anyone still struggling with a dedicated server for now, follow @pixishadi solution, if you do not have the first line like me, copy and paste it from another mod and manually enter the values.

"2844685624"
{
"size" "102570898"
"timeupdated" "1752812339"
"manifest" "9143331854010381382"
}

Yeah, I’d say that pretty much reflects the growing frustration a lot of us are feeling right now. Stripping away control and making changes nobody asked for. If this keeps up, I wouldn’t be surprised if people start building launchers to bypass Steam entirely, just to play the way they want.

I haven’t updated the tile pack for almost a year... only to come back to chaos. For the record, I didn’t really change any existing tiles, only added new ones. So the update is actually beneficial: a lot of tiles have gone through polishing, and it’s nearly a year’s worth of work done at my usual slow pace while juggling other projects.

Valve is really starting to piss me off. I intentionally play in offline mode to prevent mod updates when i don't want them, and now with these recent changes, it won't let me launch the game until this mod gets updated. like wtf? between this and Valve bending the knee to payment processors, it's clear the enshittification of Steam is well underway

ChampionChin there is a fix in this comment section posted by "pixishadi" which worked for some people. It should be like a page or two from here. If that doesn't help there is a step by step guide on reddit which provides pertinent information as well. Here's the link to it:

리원, you're fine, really. No hard feelings at all. No need to send me anything, just maybe don’t come in guns blazing next time, lol.

Hello, author. After the update on July 18th, the server failed to start. Today, I redeployed the server and only added the mod 2844685624, but the server still failed to start. The logs are as above

Okay, I understand. It's a mode I use often. I got upset because it suddenly stopped working. I apologize. I'll buy you a cup of coffee and send you five dollars.
