Hello fellow Zomboiders,
if you're like me and mod a lot, but also play with a friend / friends you probably know the pain about setting up the server mods.
I created an easy to use PowerShell script to make those steps easier.
First you need the Mod Manager
Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2694448564
There is, of course, a Mod Manager: Server
Mod, but I've read that sometimes it breaks the server and this is a pretty safe way to do it, if you're manually hosting a dedicated Zomboid server.
-
Create a Preset in the Mod Manager and remember the preset name:
-
Download the script and place it anywhere: ZomboidModConfigHelper.ps1
If you don't trust the script, either check the code yourself or paste it into ChatGPT and ask him if it is safe :)
-
Run the script with
Right Click/Run with PowerShell
-
Follow the instructions from the script
-
Once you entered all values, you should receive 3 lists in blue
-
Open your server ini configuration file in any text editor, e. g.
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Zomboid\Server\YOUR_CONFIGURATION.ini
-
Add the mod IDs from the lists to the
Mods=
section -
Add the workshop IDs from the lists to the
WorkshopItems=
section -
Add the maps from the lists to the
Map=
section -
Running the script again will remember your previous entered values
Have fun!
