Mod Collection Issues

[final sky]

|| Repost from #mod_support ||

Okay so me and a few friends are trying to get a private roleplay server going so we can stream it on twitch, I'm the one hosting it on a dedicated server so it can stay on 24/7

The PC running the server has a...

I5 12400KF
32 GB's of DDR5 @proven hollow00 Mhz CL40
A 4 TB HDD and a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus ( The M.2 has the server on it as it's on the boot drive)
and a RTX 3050 EVGA XC Black Edition.

We are not sure what mods and or maps are conflicting or stopping the server.
I've sat at my desk for well over 8 hours removing mods and the bare essentials Ex. Maps and True Actions, and it still won't work.

Link to the Steam Collection:

If anyone is able to help please DM me or Ping me attached to this message

You'll need to post the logs, could be anything

Does the sever run at all, or stop before it fully boots

I’m currently not at my apartment but the server will “ start“ it’ll let you choose your character in your spawn point your treats and other things and then upon loading into the world it will crash and I know it’s not any of the map add-ons as I’ve ran the debug tool, and it shows that a valid player has Spond an ex location other than that it’s not showing any other errors from what I can see

How are you running the server?

Steam CMD?

[final sky]

I was doing the native built in “CoOp / host”, it didn’t work so I swapped over and tried to host it as a dedicated server

[night crescent]

You have an absolute ton of mods

So my first estimate is likely a significant conflict somewhere

However my other question is if you are trying to set up the server in a dedicated format, did you edit the server's RAM allocation?

[final sky]

The server has 20Gbs of RAM, and it’s ment to be a heavily modded streamer server. All the maps and other mods don’t have any conflicting IDs for items or spawn locations / Rates

[night crescent]

Sometimes mods have conflict issues when it comes to loot spawns or items that spawn on zombies

Like "Authentic Z" and "Shark & Peaches Military Uniform Improvements" dont like each other for some reason

Hopefully beard or someone more knowledgeable can help :/

[final sky]

When I get back home tomorrow or Monday I’ll remove both of those mods and see, I know one of the maps I’m using needs Authentic Z for some reason.
I’ll try to edit the map data and remove Authentic Z and it’s spawns and see if that works

Best of luck

Still unsure as of what is busted.

Uploading a video of current mods installed and talking about Authentic Z seeing if I could disable it and remove it from PitStop.

For now you're still use dedicated method to host the server?

[final sky]

I tried both and nothing, server fails to start

[plain wren]

its stopped working on initialize .ini files, make sure your mod id, workshop name etc correct

[final sky]

Which would be?
Verifying integrity files or redownload all the mods?

[plain wren]

if you using cmd (dedicated method) try to verify manual servertest.ini, usually at Zomboid/Server folder

[final sky]

Sadly using whatever is in the default project zomboid folder.
Mainly that last batch file.
I've only tried the in-game "Host" option.

[plain wren]

Try "Dedicated Method" then its more safer and easy to maintenance i guess

or for the last you can check mod collection that you use, some mods isn't compatible with multiplayer mode

[final sky]

Going through it now and it seems to have just been Pit stop and one other small mod that broke everything

I don't want the server 24/7 so I'm gonna see if the "Host option" alone will work now

using extremely low amount of ram to host a server. This will likely be the reason you're crashing, not the Pit stop mod.

Also, if you're hosting on a 32bit machine... Don't lol

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Dedicated_Server#Running_the_Server

The ideal amount of RAM for a small session with mods is 16gb, if you go over 32 players you'll want to beef that up to 64gb with mods. It's always best to rent a dedicated server for stuff like this. You can go for a managed solution through say, GTX gaming or something similar, or if you're an advanced user you may want to go with a SoYouStart gaming machine.
