I have tested 3 different Ini configs this morning and neither one of them is accepting a new mod.
The Mod ID stays but in the Workshop ID line, its all blank.
#Having an issue with being unable to add any mod to a server
lean quiver
trying to add a mod to my existing save, the mod id stays, but it refuses to add the workshop ID
this is a brand new ini config for a local host
workshop line is completely blank
for some reason the game is just refusing to download the actual mods
even if you put the workshop ID in there, itll just get deleted on startup of world
There was a guy DMing me last night at like 12am trying to mod his locally hosted server and none of his mods would work
so this must of started happening sometime last night, i see a few other reports of it
<@&756556556488933526>
is it a steam issue then?
hm, no it cant be a steam issue, the mods are subscribed in E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600 here just fine
it just wont actually put them onto a server
@rugged shale you said youre really experienced in Hosting with mods, you see this issue at all?
i know you helped me last night with another issue
Also just figured out that you can't add OR remove any mod from a server atm. the workshop id list WONT update no matter what, regardless if you remove the mod id or add a mod id
something is major fucked
rugged shale
Just to make sure, cause you said “server”. Are you playing by clicking “Host” or are playing on a server hosted by a company like Indifferent Broccoli or G-Portal?
lean quiver
Just to make sure, cause you said “server”. Are you playing by clicking “Host” ...
Trying on both, main one is indifferent brocoli and then i tested it on 2 different local host ini files
Like i was trying to delete realistic car physics, add a few car mods on the dedicated host.
But it will not remove the workshop id for physics or add the new ID's
Both local host ini files refuse to add new mods as well
Or remove any
Again this is ONLY for the workshop id line. It save the mod id's in the file no problem
This was happening to another guy last night too
rugged shale
Okay, so couple things you MUST do with Indifferent Broccoli -I use them for my games-
1- Mod names MUST have a slash in front of them for B42.
So put a \ in front of EVERY mod name. This is a hard requirement.
So your mods should look like:
\VFExpansionRedux42;\VFExpansion3Redux42; etc. etc.
2- You must always reset. After adding the names and ID’s make 100% sure to click “save configuration and restart server”.
lean quiver
Okay, so couple things you **MUST** do with Indifferent Broccoli -I use them for...
Yea ive done save and restart like 20+ times over the last week or so with indifferent brocoli.
Never needed the slashes this whole time. The ini file says ;
I create the mod order in a local host ini to organize it and then copy the lines over
The game itself uses ;
Ive added and removed mods over the last week and never had this issue
rugged shale
The \ is a hard requirement for Indifferent broccoli.
It says this on your server dashboard as well.
You must do this first
rugged shale
Add the \ first. Then we move on AFTER you do that.
Indifferent cannot read mod names for download without the \
lean quiver
Thats odd as hell, it's been downloading them just fine with ; the whole last week. Let me try it
rugged shale
The \ Specifies “build 42 mod” without it it tries to snag B41 versions
lean quiver
Ah jank
rugged shale
Not odd. It’s a hard requirement and your dashboard is VERY specific about this being required.
Trust.
Also make sure you are editing the .ini file from your Indifferent Broccoli dashboard directly.
Don’t use file manager.
lean quiver
Also make sure you are editing the .ini file from your Indifferent Broccoli dash...
yea i always use the dashboard
lean quiver
Not odd. It’s a hard requirement and your dashboard is VERY specific about this...
do i need to seperate the workshop ID's with \ also?
instead of ;
rugged shale
Use both. So \mod1;\mod2;\mod3
lean quiver
Use both. So \mod1;\mod2;\mod3

rugged shale
Yup! I have several of those mods myself
lean quiver
i was asking about the workshop ID section in the second part
rugged shale
Workshop ID no slash. Just as normal:
12345678;12344678;12345678; etc.
rugged shale
Uh…. Reset takes longer than 1 minute
lean quiver
nope, servers up
2909035179 this is the ID for better car physics which is in the mod list
but its not in the ID's
which is a mod ive tried to add since last night
NO mod id stays
rugged shale
When you click “save configuration and restart” the dashboard should pop up saying “your server is restarting”, the green online light turns purple, and it takes 2-10 minutes to go back to green
lean quiver
since last night

When you click “save configuration and restart” the dashboard should pop up sayi...
nah brocoli takes like 1 min
I 100% garuntee this issue is not on my end
this is some weird game shit
ive modded this way for weeks
no issue adding mods
rugged shale
nah brocoli takes like 1 min
Okay, log out of dashboard and log back in. Make sure the dashboard webpage refreshes.
Did it save the \ in front of the mod names?
lean quiver
Okay, log out of dashboard and log back in. Make sure the dashboard webpage ref...
yes, like ive said, it saves the Mods= section perfectly fine
rugged shale
Screenshot if able.
rugged shale
I understand your issue. Just making sure I do all the proper troubleshooting steps first.
Need to confirm it is saving other changes you make in the .ini
lean quiver
Workshop ID: 2909035179
Mod ID: BetterCarPhysics
Workshop ID: 3490370700
Mod ID: 73fordFalcon
Mod ID: 73fordFalconPS
Workshop ID: 3001592312
Mod ID: 93mustangSSP
rugged shale
Slow down. i got you
lean quiver
those Mod ID's are all missing
even though the workshop ID is up there
and those are mods im trying to add since last night
there was a guy last night at the same time i was DMing trying to help him with mods
he was wondering why no mods were working even though i watched him add them properly in the local host menu
so he was having the same issue im having for some reason
rugged shale
Stand by a minute. I’m logging into Indifferent Broccoli myself
When did your game update to version 42.16? do you recall?
lean quiver
When did your game update to version 42.16? do you recall?
uh this server started fresh on 42.16
rented it after the patch
was using survival servers but it was horrible and my save broke with the update so i switched
let me check the error log i guess
rugged shale
I am waiting for a server reset on my end. I just added Better Car Physics to the dashboard to see if I get your same issue.
Stand by plz
lean quiver
i can try adding another random mod to see if its still jank
lean quiver
my massive confusion is why it wont even work in local host too though
rugged shale
lean quiver
what in the shit
did you subscribe to it in the mods pannel or added it straight into the ini
rugged shale
Okay so it's NOT a fetching issue between Indifferent broccoli and steam.
Odds are HIGH it's the zomboid folder in your PC under users.
OR some kinds of internet issue where it's timing out.
So next step
lean quiver
let me try restarting all my shit then
rugged shale
don't drop a nuke yet
lean quiver
i was just gonna turn my pc off and on first lol
but even if it was something on my end, it wouldnt matter since brocolis own server is the one fetching mods
its not fetching mods form my pc is it?
rugged shale
navigate to users / your profile name/ You'll see a folder called "zomboid". That's all the game settings and other stuff.
If you are paranoid, make a BACKUP and paste it on your desktop.
But DELETE this folder. Adding/removing mods sometimes breaks it and the only solution is delete it.
Then verifty integrity of your game and launch it so it makes a brand new, fresh copy of the folder and it's contents
lean quiver
k backing it up now
rugged shale
Why the indifferent broccoli dashboard is not saving a mod ID number is very strange.
NOT saving the edits you make is usually from a hiccup in internet, or bad lag, or something.
rugged shale
After you make changes, you are hitting THIS button to restart?
want to make sure you are not hitting the "restart" buttton.
lean quiver
After you make changes, you are hitting THIS button to restart?
want to make su...
yep
been using that the whole time
ok its putting the new file in now
ok new folder was made
let me restart my pc quick
aight @rugged shale now what
do i try to make the changes again
rugged shale
So if no work on your end. something is up with your connection to indifferent broccoli
lean quiver
still doesnt explain the local host issue too
rugged shale
which is annoying. Are you in North America?
lean quiver
yea servers in East coast, im in Iowa
rugged shale
wondering if you have something set to read only, preventing changes
diagnosing jank can be annoying
lean quiver
my internets fine
rugged shale
while stuff is resetting, also type in your help bar "controlled folder access" an open that.
That will take you to your windows security page.
Click on bottom left on "Protection History"
You'll see a screen like this
lean quiver
rugged shale
Don't screenshare, cause you don't want to post your file stuff.
BUT click on aany folders on the right and see what it says.
If it says something like this for any zomboid folder? It's windows being stupid.
This is my PC where windows blocked Marvel Rivals
rugged shale
okay. so Windows + Game + all that is fine.
Can you add OTHER mods to your server?
yeah if it does not take this time then something is up with the Dashboard / game itself.
lean quiver
i can try putting another random one in
rugged shale
yeah wait to see if car physics takes hold, then try a random mod like Common Sense Reborn or something
lean quiver
yeah if it does not take this time then something is up with the Dashboard / gam...
it fucking worked this time
there NO WAY restarting my pc fixed it
bruh
rugged shale
I keep a .txt file of all my server settings (both the .ini and the sandbox.lua) as backups for emergencies if I nuke the server / wipe / and reinstall the game
lean quiver
didnt even cross my mind cause its through fucking chrome
all 3 car mods added and physics
just fine
ima crash out
rugged shale
odds are it was the Zomboid folder.
known issue. it gets corrupted
There are some files that break from mods. Super annoying, but when people launch the game and get stuck on a black screen, infinite load, etc. etc. that is the main fix.
Delete the zomboid folder. re-install or verify game.
it just works
rugged shale
Connection to server host can also be janky. I always log out of my dashboard just to make sure Chrome and the website reset fully
lean quiver
ive modded like dozens upon dozens of games, this one is by far the most pain n the ass
rugged shale
yeah kudo's! happy modding. Don't blow up your server with janky mods!
skryim is THE WORST lol
lean quiver
yeah kudo's! happy modding. Don't blow up your server with janky mods!
haha for sure, i just wanted more cars since ki5 is updating some
