How to Make a Modded/Vanilla Project Zomboid Server in 2023

[@VigorMortis413]

This helps so much it seems so much more intense than it actually was

[@jamesnadua7649]

Duuude thanks for this! Couldn't find a better tutorial than this. The other ones mostly talk about paying a fee to start a server - but this one - just for friends, it's going to be awesome! Thank you!

[@alotno5978]

Great video I look other tutorials but didn't understand them. This was really simple thank you

[@YourBoyJakee]

Of course!

[@erkl8823]

​@@YourBoyJakeehey, Jake? Can you be bothered to help me out with this? Explaining in just a LITTLE more detail exactly what I need to do? I know you're on to bigger & better things, but if you can it'd really make my fkn day. I understand if you're just too busy tho. Thanks

Now they are adding a WHOLE new section to the map too. Its gonna be amazing!

[@64bitAtheist]

Good man, you saved me hours figuring out why the mods weren't working even though client side ones seemed to for me. Server configured and ready for tomorrow evening. 👍

[@Semaj97]

Thanks man, helped alot. for people doing this the first time, the Initialisation is going to take a long time depending on the ammount of mods youre taking in.

[@seans.5005]

thanks for the help. this was the best video I've found about this

Hey bro you’re a godsend. Me and my brother are trying to set up a modded server and failed miserably by doing it the most common sense way I could think of with no luck! Thank you for making this video, it is greatly appreciated!

[@jacobhill4632]

Did you do it successfully?

[@srybra3868]

after you run the program, does the server just keep running on the background? Or only while you are hosting through the game

[@bitboydcs9825]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

If it doesn't work, or it shows error with 'CFileWriterThread' write in text file "steam_appid" in the dedicated server replace the number with 108600

Note!! Set the mods using the "Steam Workshop" tab FIRST, then you can select which mods and maps to use. You're the only one I've seen mention how to set the server name thus far. Thank you!!

hey man i might sound dumb but how do I join the server now

[@edpacunana460]

Are you trying to host a modded server? The first time initializing takes a long time when you have a lot of mods installed (for me usually it takes around 25 - 30 mins with the amount of mods I have.) You just need to wait and let it run. Speed may also depend on your PC's specs.

[@valentinadoloeras7564]

how do I know if the server already started? Do I just join like how I would if I joined a server from the menu screen?

[@Ben-zd7fn]

Anyone else stuck on the Authorizing from Steam when starting up the hosted server

[@AgroInvestBR]

Hey Jake, amazing content. I would like to set one up on a server, not on my own machine. Do you think it is easier to set up on my PC (like you did) and then just copy/paste the stuff into the online server I'd rent, or you think setting up from zero on the rented server is better? Usually, the interface sucks on these platforms...

[@erkl8823]

When i launched the dedicated server it had a bunch of code, "fatal error detected by java..." , "internal error (zmap windows)..." , "failed to commit memory" , etc etc.....F

Bro,in the edit settings how did more sandbox settings appear,i also have mods but the only settings are the ussula ones ,i don't have any of the mod ones

[@TheIronSnowMan8D]

Great video, I noticed you had around 8gb of ram used for the server. I have about 16gb of ram on my computer. Should 8gb of ram be enough for a heavily modded server of about 5 people?

[@edvarski26]

8 gb should be more than enough

[@jakedye172]

ok so i was able to set up the server and i can join but my friends try to join and it says "the server failed to respond"

[@WebStein1]

its exactly the same for me and i tried to fix it for 4 hours straight. Did u find a solution in the mean time? I tried following things: - Opening new rules for the server ports in firewall settings - allowing same ports in my router - using hamachi instead - using the nosteam.bat instead nothing worked yet and my friend is getting the same message in any case. Please help....

[@ItsOklmAMedic]

so how do i open the server after i make it in the CMD? do i host it like normal or is it something else?

[@DaCouchWarrior]

Yea, good question. Like why we even need to make all these if we gonna launc server as usual.

[@StruggleGaming]

I did everything here, and it was simple, but my server never gets past initializing, and then terminates. why? Trying to do a modded server as well

what if i just wanna host a game for a short while and play it later with friends? Do I just have the mods installed and make sure they have the same ones and would it still work from there?

[@WH40ktyranids]

I really don't know what I did wrong but I can not get the server to boot up with mods. I can run it fine in vanilla but it just won't boot with mods. It stops at the very first mod and just stops booting.

[@blakeshyre759]

Do you have to start the server initially before you can successfully boot up the dedicated server? I’d get an ‘unknown’ message after attempting to load in using the servers name

[@tocoman3123]
