it doesn't work on a host server, why not?

is it reversible ? i had my normal map then accidentally added this... it screwed up our run too much

please update for build 42 </3

as build 42 comes out, it seems like there is no option to choose other towns again =(

42?

one of the valley station spawns put me outside

i spawn at 2am and have definitive zombies set to be sprinters at night

@SharleBu you can create your own "Translate" folder, thus creating "media, lua, shared, Translate" folders. I translated the mod into Ukrainian and Russian.
you can use it as a basis for your

@Bingus Researcher Hello! First of all thank u for made this mod. It's nice to have more vanilla-like and lore friendly starting locations.

I was trying to translate your mod into Spanish without succes, because there is no "Translate" folder.

So I came here to ask u if would be ok if I upload a clone of the mod, in Spanish? Naturally, giving all the credits to you and linking this original version in the description.

Greetings!

nice

You know, I think it may have been my provider. NONE of my custom spawn mods were working, except for the LV spawns for some reason. But, I was able to point a spawnlocations.lua at them, and they started working.

That's strange that the choices aren't showing up. Is it not working on a new save or an old save with the mod added onto it? I did some quick testing and it works as intended when creating a new save. It does not, however, work when adding it onto an existing save. I'll add this information to the description and I hope this helps.

It's not working for me anymore either. It worked just fine the last time I played though, which was a few months ago.

Its not working, I see no spawns when I load

will there be louisville?

You're the first one to bring that up. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Z - in your text below there's a error in the location name with an "extra" forward slash /

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


shoudl be

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

adding that extra / really F'd up our install of this mod actually... had to manually edit the LUA files to fix things. :D

wowzer!

@Kafkatrap
I did take occupation into account for this mod. If you go into the files I set up spawns in a low/middle/high income manner based on the occupations. A few also have spawns specific to them like thief characters having a chance to spawn in a bar if there is one available or cooks inside restaurants. There aren't a lot, but they are there.

I really like this mod, it's one of the few spawn location mods that keeps it vanilla'esque.
Town descriptions and even the screenshot in the selection menu has that washed out colour palette, just like the vanilla starting locations.


A suggesion that would make this even better, a version of this mod, same look and feel, but it takes professions into account. (even if it would be very limited considering the additional spawn locations aren't that big, it would be cool)
Police officer in a diner
Fireman... somewhere where a fireman could be
Park Ranger in a bush somewhere, or a nearby shack or hiking trail.
Construction worker in a hardware store or a nearby construction site
etc etc


The only other spawn point mod i've seen do this (and which keeps the vanilla look and feel) is occupied louisville. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2706495780

как установить этот мод на карту?(

Thanks a lot,

}

@Trucifer You need to add spawn locations to spawnregions.lua too. You can do that through hosting menu in-game and then just copying resulting spawnregions.lua to your dedicated server.

@Trucifer

Unfortunately I have no knowledge regarding dedicated servers.

if your struggling to add mods to a server i'd highly rec mod manager server version it's saved my zomboid modding as i'd broken the server me and friends play on - not related to this mod at all

I'm trying to add this onto a dedicated server - I've done it both ways where I add it to the ini file for the mod id / workshop id and then the map folder names in the map= portion of the ini file but it still won't load up. Any ideas? Specific question is referring to dedicated servers only.

The fact that you did previews and descriptions that straight up feel vanilla is the most impressive thing to me. Good job!

Good mod, Bingus brother.

Is there anyway to configure this mod? I have new ekron installed so the fallas lake spawn is useless for me

Hm, that mean that I do something wrog. Thx for answer, comrade

@Капитан Смоллет

The last time I checked it worked with multiplayer. As long as the host has it enabled in the server's mod list and the players have it enabled in their game it should work.

Does it sork with mp??

Very its cool

Oh okay thank you for testing.

@Armand
I just tested adding the mod to a save without it. The save still loads, however, the new spawn options do not show up when making a new character after dying. So while it will not break your save to add it mid-game, the options will not show up until you make a new save file with the mod activated.

Does it work when I add it in mid game saves? I use multiple characters in a single game for role play purposes and I was wondering if that's the case as I often make new ones.

@~ Độc ~

I'm aware of that and will do that if the devs add spawns to Ekron proper. Until that point I will keep the file names as is to prevent breaking saves again.

Good to see the change for Ekron and Fallas lake, small, but still good to see the mod is being updated!

Is there a starting location for pendor?

So yeah, it appears that i have downloaded this mod and started playthrough with it after you changed lake fallas to fallas lake. And now my save file demands the changed name. I wonder if i can fix it somehow. If not, it's not really a problem, i will just start a new save. I have just a few hours on it anyway.

Ekron will be add to the game later, so you still need to change name in the mod file anyway

If your save file does not load, please unsubscribe and resubscribe to the mod to force Steam to update the mod files. I have tested this method on my own save file and I was able to load it properly after doing this. I hope this helps people who might be having issues loading saves.

I was unaware that changing the names would break saves. I have reverted to a previous version that hopefully fixes the issue. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Yeah I had the same issue that Ekron was removed and I cant hit play on my save

You renaming "Ekron, KY" to "Fallas Lake, KY" broke my save and likely the save of everyone else using the mod. The game thinks that the Ekron map from removed from the save and won't let me hit play. You really need to revert this change which will hopefully fix the problem

your good i actually fixed it so all is working as it should :)

@Slider-Man

I'm not sure how the server manager works. My friends and I just host co-ops through the game itself and it works that way. Good luck troubleshooting and I'm sorry I can't offer any help.

I don't know what mods might be incompatible but if you ever did a separate mod that added additional spawns to existing towns I would be all over it. I don't heavily mod my game in the first place anyway.

How would one add this to a MP server. I use Project Zomboid Server Manager and they even have a custom way to add spawn points but when i add the mod itself like other mods i noticed i dont get the options when starting fresh character on server, just the vanilla ones.

Not a big deal but i liked the idea of some fresh spawn ideas, maybe im over looking something but regardless good mod :)

@IndustryStandard

I thought about adding some new ones to the default towns but decided against it because it would probably cause some sort of incompatibility problems if other mods touched them as well.
