#Adding a custom map to dedicated server

Im trying to add a custom map to my server not an addon but new map entirely but...
It's probably colliding with other mods (more than likely a map mod)
My only advice to give is to turn off some mods, restart server, test, repeat until you figure out which mod is the culprit.
Don't rely on this though, I'm no professional.

ive got 1 mod and thats the new map mod
@warm flower anyone else managed to add a new map to a dedicated server?
removing vanilla..
when i host from in pz it works
but from the dedicated server its like struggling to find directorys
for example

Check in steam if the mod requires aditional supporting mods.

{ name = "Aguila, AZ", file = "media/maps/Aguila, AZ/spawnpoints.lua" }, didnt work and i had to change to this
{ name = "Aguila, AZ", file = "home/container/steamapps/workshop/content/108600/3022039588/mods/Copper State, Arizona/media/maps/Aguila, AZ/spawnpoints.lua" },

its nothing like this its to do with directorys

Ah, it's just a spawnpoint. You'll probably be fine.

when i was trying to load the server i could see a error for spawn points
so when i remove the spawn points the server will still not load
shadow kettle
Imma guess that the classic "turn it off and on again" trick will likely do something.

my host says it mightnot be possible to replace vanilla map
shadow kettle
Try diabling and turning the map back on.

have for last 12 hours

pliant fog
wiped and tryed everything over and over
shadow kettle
Check when the mod was released and last updated.
It might be outdated.
Send it, if you can.
pliant fog
it should be as simple as removing muldraugh, KY and adding the new map
the mod works fine when i host from in game
i added this mod and the required desert tiles
no other mods been installed
this is my 6th dedicated pz server so i have knowledge on mods and conflicts
but never tryed to replace the vanilla map until now
pliant fog
i got that
shadow kettle
Right.

Well, uh.
pliant fog
but they are not there
shadow kettle
Did you make sure to uninstall and reinstall the mod entirely?
pliant fog
yeh i cant find 1 single post about someone using a new map(removing vanilla) for a dedicated server
ty for your time
next pine
Have you removed the vanilla map in the maps in server settings?
pliant fog
Have you removed the vanilla map in the maps in server settings?
yes
wait maybe not all
all i did was delete the spawn regions and on server ini and went to maps and deleted mud,KY
next pine
Yes it should be as simple as deleting muldraugh, KY reading back you seem to have done it.
reading through your old messages you've already done that. I've done this also using LV only map in the past.
have you tried copying mods/spawnpoints.lua into spawnpoints.lua in the server folder?
as for custom spawn points I only use the server's so I have only experience on that one...
pliant fog
yes i did the spawn points correctly
whats happning is the dedicatded server trys to use vanilla directory
so it searches something like media/maps
but the new map im using is store in a workshop item so its like /workshop/media/maps
i think i need to sort a way of gettin gthe server to find the map files
when i host using in game its simple
next pine
but the new map im using is store in a workshop item so its like /workshop/media...
have you disabled vanilla spawn points?
pliant fog
yes
its nothing to do with the spawn points as i removed all spawn points to see if i could atleast get the server work and then i get this message
next pine
I think it's set to client only instead of server. weird 🙂 I'll sub to the mod and check it out
pliant fog
yes i added the creators of the map mod and they dont know how to get it working on dedicated, they said they are not coders
fingers crossed you figure something out
message i get when i start up is like cant find the maps for the mod
omg
i jsut had a brainwave
or brain fart
next pine
if it works on offline for dedicated, have you tried deleting the mod folder and re-subbing?
pliant fog
yes
but cus the directory is going wrong place what if i try this
i download the files that instal in the wrong place
and then upload them to the media/maps files instead?
next pine
Yes can try that 🙂 seeing that it's having errors on missing stuff kinda weird
checking it out all maps really seems to be missing an objects.lua file
but the main map
but idk why that wouldn't work on your end since it should work even with these stuff missing
I'll try hosting a dedicated server to help you out later after my work
pliant fog
ty so much
yes i get the errors for some missing obeject lua but shouldnt effect it
i can share my screen later when your free
what time will it be cus its 4am for me not sure how long ill be up for
next pine
I'm on UTC+8 but usually awake at weird hours because of work and server management(pz) just let me know when you're available can add you up in DMs
