How to install ALL THE MOD MAPS!! - Modlist included! Also WE NEED YOUR HELP! Project Zomboid

We've got the mod list that will subscribe you to ALL the Map Mods! So you can play with almost all the mod mas all on the same world. With over 700 map mods to choose from we load as many as won't crash the server and see what that does to our poor Project Zomboid... and how you can do it too! We show you what choices you need to make to make sure it loads properly, and a few of the choices you'll want to make to not have all the mods falling all over each other.

I'm making chill Let's play vids while playing through my huge backlog of games, and thought I'd start out with some of my newest acquisitions, from all over. From the free games given out each week by the Epic Store, the Games I've bought from the Steam sales over the last decade, the Humble Bundles, the Amazon Twitch Prime free games, the Humble Bundle Choice games each month, and the Humble Monthly (Now Humble Choice) Trove.( It's a pile of 90+ free games that come with a Humble Choice subscription, DRM free, but old.) So I'll play them a bit and see what treasures there are to find. If I find something I'll like I'll play it a while. If I find something YOU like, let me know and we'll play it some more together.

I did some testing and I highly recommend loading St. Bernard's Hill before Eerie County to avoid the weird overlap shown at 6:26. What remains of St. Bernard's Hill at the junction just looks like small dead end roads (like the ones south of the Isolated House in Muldraugh) - which is more natural than the Eerie County hi-way being cut-off abruptly.

Hey. This is very fucking awesome. I do have a suggestion. There is this mod called "Mod Manager" which lets you create mod presets, Once all the map conflicts are resolved you could create a preset that others can just apply after subscribing to all the workshop mods, this way we dont have to follow a video to enable only specific mods. :)

[@The-Backlog]

Right but the problem is that I can't make just one. For instance there is a single cell that hosts 4 different mods. Which mod should I pick for everyone? There is another cell that plays host to at least three mods that I've found so far.... I've been invited to work with the mod makers guild now to make both a map and list of choices you'll need to make to use as many as possible, but it is going to have to be a flowchart since there are so many choices.

[@The-Backlog]

There's a follow up video around here that has the link to the steam collection.

[@BigZombieMonkey]

"and map makers if your mod is one of these please consider moving your map so it's not conflicting" - This statement irked me a little, I have been working on my map for over a year, it is placed in a positon where it just cannot be moved, the train line that runs through the middle of it for example would no longer make sence if I relocated it, the entrance to the map would not link correctly etc I'm not sure if you've ever made a map or not but it's not a simple case of pick it up and put it elsewhere, then you also have to consider what maps you're trying to use that conflict as many maps are outdated and no longer fit the current map so why would a map creator move their new, updated and functional map to avoid conflicting with a dead map that has countless bugs and issues? Also one particular cell was used as an example by a map mod maker who teaches people how to make maps, hence it has over 10 maps located in that cell, it's unfortunate but when it comes to that situation you need to pick and choose which maps are best or most appealing. With my map (Monmouth county) I have listed the mods that my map conflict with on the mods page along with the cells that it uses and what maps it conflicts with (that I have been informed of). It would help if other modders did this but I can understand why many do not as it is a lot of work to make a map so having people move things around for others sometimes is just not a sacrifice that some mappers are willing to make.

[@The-Backlog]

Thanks for your comments. I don't mean to irk, and I don't expect many map makers will take do it, I just ask that they take it into consideration. I do understand that many maps are tied to their surroundings and really wouldn't make sense to move, but quite a few are just small 1 cell maps (Daddy Dirk's horde of students as you say) that could move a few cells over to an equally good location (And several of them have in recent updates.) OR like your recent update they've added in optional modules that allow them to connect more fully to the surrounding mod maps, but don't HAVE to be loaded if your map loadout doesn't make that make sense. I've even found one map maker that included a second module that could be loaded instead that shifted his map down a cell for people that wanted an adjacent map. And again that's not really the proper solution anyway. But I don't think Indistone is going to have a "Map Preview" option anytime soon. And honestly it's low on my list for Version 42 too.

[@mac8869]

Hey, got an update. After literally hours of trying to get this thing to run, it just didn't work. I'm not new to modding zomboid my self, the game would just crash after around 5 seconds of spawning into rosewood. Anyway I wanna share something I found with you that may change the course of this whole project. AIZ 3 is a mod that implements a lot of map mods into one without flaw. It works perfectly. You dont have to enable all the maps in the map section of the server settings, it all is there for you. It's a simple one click download on steam workshop, however it's quite outdated, but still works perfectly, just doesn't have very new maps. If you can replicate what that mod did, it would be very very easy to distribute and get working without flaw for everyone. Thanks for this project.

[@The-Backlog]

Yeah, that's what gave me the idea for the collection. The problem is many fold, and they are likely why that mod is not updated. To make that mod they need to download and stitch together all the maps themselves. And to update it would be the same thing each time. And you'd need to get permission from each mod maker to add them to the repack mod. Plus then you don't get the flexibility of being able to exclude the maps you want. We have a programmer working on a conflict manager so you can pick and choose when maps conflict so you get smoother borders.

So load up the server, see what maps are glitcing, and then make sure you have their required mods in your Multiplayer Setup file.

Hey! I know my comment can be kinda late since the video was posted a few months ago but I hope you can read this comment. First of all thank you very much for all the effort put into this project. Second, I noticed that when I load all the maps and press M after a new game, the game freeze's like it is loading all the map mods. I was wondering if is there any mod or solution to solve this problem, because with the currently collection made (with over 300 map mods) the game freeze for some minutes after pressing M, giving and impression that it is loading all the maps. Thank you very much for the effort, keep up bro and hope you the best!

[@The-Backlog]

It shouldn't be doing that. It usually loads up in the same time it normally does. Adding in all them maps doesn't ad in layers of map data. They get loaded then you only have one "Map" to play on, so it shouldn't be making any difference. I've loaded all these and tested how much extra system resources it takes to run it, and it's only a few more megabytes of ram, the CPU/GPU are about the same as vanilla. Do you have any extra mods you are trying to run along side them? Brita's for example?

[@Nadion111]

@@The-Backlog Yes, I actually have some mods loading together, like brita's, hydrocraft, arsenal gun fighter, and some to fix zombies spawn in buildings like wake them up and zombie fix

@@Nadion111 It's most likely one of those interacting weirdly with one of the maps. Brita's or Hydrocraft If I had to guess. I'm currently working on a couple of other lists of maps that include as many as I can fit without overlaps that should be easier to troubleshoot!

[@fang467]

Okay, how do I do this on the server, namely the ORDER of maps (in the server settings in the "Map" section), in addition to this there are also mods not maps (example RV interior, 10 YL, ForegingZ and others), is there someone who did the sorting of all this?

[@devilishdj4074]

discord link is broken and i cant find the video that you said you made with all the maps that work well together?

[@The-Backlog]

The discord link in the bio is working. Had to change it due to bots and just can't go back and fix it in every video! Also I haven't finished that video. Ran into some concerns and now I'm gonna have to make like 2 collections. There are just too many maps!

[@thekatjon20]

You know, I did as instructed in the video... I chose one of the either or options from the points of the video where you said to do so. I even made sure to not fal into the trap of New Hope... but the map has massive overlaps and such. I watched the video all the way through several times, but there are still issues with the map. Where is an actual comprehensive install for only the maps that work togetehr as a whole for the map? Do you not have this somewhere, because the collection you made have way to many maps that overwrite one another. Please help?

[@The-Backlog]

Yeah this collection isn't a GOOD maps list. Never intended to be. It's just ALL of them. All the maps that play nicely, isn't a very full map. And though we have sorted through all the like 300 maps on the list and figured out what cells they occupy, there are only 27 of the 332 that DON'T conflict and cause weird edges. That's why I asked for help from some sort of programmer to take the data we've gathered and turn it into a program that allows you to pick the maps you like and see if they conflict so you can choose the loadout for you.

[@mac8869]

Got a question. When looking in my server options and go to maps, do i have to add all the maps to the list one by one? because that would not be fun

[@The-Backlog]

Oh! Yeah I think so.... There's got to be an easier way though. Ultamatly you just need the list of mod ID's and mod names/map names so you can copy and paste them into the server settings INI file. You might be able to get that from a SP world file.

[@mac8869]

@@The-Backlog Could you run me through the process pls?

[@The-Backlog]

Sorry, I'd have to figure it out myself first! Essentially there's a INI file in the server folder that has three sections for mod maps. The Workshop id section, the Maps section, and the mods section. If you could find those in a semicolon delineated list you could copy paste them into the file and be done. But I don't have that list.

Did you have a tested and working guide to add maps to an existin HOSTING multiplayer server? Players buid homes and bases in Luisville, so Im trying to add maps to the other side of the world, but I can't make it Thnaks for you awesome video

[@The-Backlog]

adding to an existing world is far trickier. (also with a hosted server you need to ensure you add all the dependencies, or the map just won't load. ) Since if a block has EVER been loaded in a given world, the server will have generated world data for that block and then if you add a map, that block will still exist as it was at first, but with the new map around it. Looks really wierd. There are SOME maps where someone has found all the block numbers for that map and made a batch file to delete them all so you can add a new map, but there are not many of those... and each CELL of the map has TONS of blocks in it. Overall it's a lot of work to get it going if those cells have been visited, if not, you can just add them and the game will use them no problem.

[@LeonidasGandalla]

@@The-Backlog Finally I understood how map_XXX_YYY.bin files are created, I just made a list in excel, and from there a batch file to run in cmd (power shell) I just move 2000 files to another directory, erase all map_number_number.bin files and map_zone.bin, and get back the files I want. Then, upload the media folder for each mod map to the server And finally, put the proper names of each mod in the map= line in server.ini, mod= line and modid= line. Took me about 120 hours but its working now

[@hana_irl123]

how much ram do I need to play with full set of map? Any performance cost for running it?

[@The-Backlog]

Oh that would be good to know 😜. Hold on let me go check!

[@The-Backlog]

OK, so the rundown is as such. While running with no mods all alone, non- multiplayer, it took about 3.2 GB of ram for my system, and it was using 63%-65% of my 16 GM ram for the whole compy. As well as 27% of my CPU. WITH all these mods it took it up to 71%-73% of my entire 16 of Ram (With other things running. Just the same things as the static test) so about an extra 6%-10% . As well it took up about 3% more CPU power. So it's not a huge load to the system, but as always if you are flying through cells in a car, you are gonna bog down as it tries to load all the tiles in the cell when you enter.

Thanks! I'm already working on an updated video that should clear up any of the problems the most recent maps. There will still be plenty of conflicts that will make the map look strange at points but it will load.

Anyone else know what map causes vehicles to not spawn as often as they should? I heard it was O’Connors farm but I kind of like that building

[@Zackmillsx]

wait what, it says in the top for the mod load order that the ones at the TOP of the list have a higher priority meaning you have it back the front.... Higher has more priority???? luckily for me I removed the conflicting ones (new denver is veryyy outdated the comments say to not use) although I still have the same issue as you with the ? textures for certain grass tiles mostly which is super annoying.. other than that my map looks about the same so thats cool :))

might be helpful, fort benning doesnt load in and i have a very similar modlist to you as ive just got the part were your asking for help, no idea the cell its in though or whats causing it to not load..

[@The-Backlog]

Yes, higher has more priority so it gets loaded AFTER the ones below it. Like stacking a bunch of maps on top of each other. And yes there are a few maps that are quite outdated, but if they still load fine I've included them on the collection.

Hello, I did everything the video said and installed the modlist and selected the maps. No matter what I do it seems that I cannot get any of the maps working in game, and I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong. Do you have a video that explains how to get maps to work?

[@The-Backlog]

This is that video... You aren't seeing ANY of the mod maps? Have you checked that they loaded correctly once the game world initialized?

[@dylanvh9465]

still unsure how to install this after watching it multiple times, so do i enable or disable riverside? lol

[@johnlivelys]

Is this possible on an already exisiting world? If so how do you integrate for that

[@The-Backlog]

You can, but every "cell" of the map you've visited, even once, will already have been initialized and won't change. You CAN delete the initialized map blocks that you don't care about, but each cell has like 100 blocks so that gets VERY teadious very quickly. But if you don't care about any of that you can open the game, click on "load" then select the save to modify. Then in the bottom right there is a "more button" that will reveal another button that allows you to add or remove mods.
