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.

1. Create a Preset in the Mod Manager and remember the preset name:

2. 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 :)

3. Run the script with Right Click/Run with PowerShell

4. Follow the instructions from the script

5. Once you entered all values, you should receive 3 lists in blue

6. Open your server ini configuration file in any text editor, e. g. C:\Users\YOURNAME\Zomboid\Server\YOUR_CONFIGURATION.ini

7. Add the mod IDs from the lists to the Mods= section

8. Add the workshop IDs from the lists to the WorkshopItems= section

9. Add the maps from the lists to the Map= section

10. Running the script again will remember your previous entered values

Have fun!
