Duuude thanks for this! Couldn't find a better tutorial than this. The other ones mostly talk about paying a fee to start a server - but this one - just for friends, it's going to be awesome! Thank you!
I always come back to this video every time I forget how mods work for this game. You don't know how awesome of a person you are to make a video this indepth for people who have no understanding of computers and coding in general. Thank you so much!
@@YourBoyJakeehey, Jake? Can you be bothered to help me out with this? Explaining in just a LITTLE more detail exactly what I need to do? I know you're on to bigger & better things, but if you can it'd really make my fkn day. I understand if you're just too busy tho. Thanks
Good man, you saved me hours figuring out why the mods weren't working even though client side ones seemed to for me. Server configured and ready for tomorrow evening. 👍
Thanks man, helped alot. for people doing this the first time, the Initialisation is going to take a long time depending on the ammount of mods youre taking in.
Hey bro you’re a godsend. Me and my brother are trying to set up a modded server and failed miserably by doing it the most common sense way I could think of with no luck! Thank you for making this video, it is greatly appreciated!
just to let yall know when you first start up your file itll pause cause it wants a administator password just make one u can rememeber confirm it and your good, btw this video was very helpful and i greatly appreciate it, your the reason i get to play with my freinds so thx alot man
i did everything you said to do, but it says "unknown option -servername, unknown option " and ive tried changing the world name, deleting the space between -servername and my world name but it still doesnt work. help me out here
@YourBoyJake Thanks man, you just figured out my issue, how to point to which file/server to load, Sophie 1.13.1 now loads on my dedicated server! you earned a sub.
Goat vid been trying to do this for so long but was having the problem with not seeing certain options. had no idea steam had tools in that drop down box lol,
Note!! Set the mods using the "Steam Workshop" tab FIRST, then you can select which mods and maps to use. You're the only one I've seen mention how to set the server name thus far. Thank you!!
Having an error when I launch StartServer64.bat: A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (zMapper_windows.cpp:296), pid=12580, tid=17396 # fatal error: Failed to map memory: 0x000004001ac00000 2M (1455)
Bro,in the edit settings how did more sandbox settings appear,i also have mods but the only settings are the ussula ones ,i don't have any of the mod ones
When I launch my server I keep getting “Couldn’t connect to server” or “Failed to connect” even tho I have the ports open, any help would be so much appreciated
its exactly the same for me and i tried to fix it for 4 hours straight. Did u find a solution in the mean time? I tried following things: - Opening new rules for the server ports in firewall settings - allowing same ports in my router - using hamachi instead - using the nosteam.bat instead nothing worked yet and my friend is getting the same message in any case. Please help....
When i launched the dedicated server it had a bunch of code, "fatal error detected by java..." , "internal error (zmap windows)..." , "failed to commit memory" , etc etc.....F
Thx for the help but I still have a little problem. This is my first time making a server and I wanted to be desired which seems to have worked but problem is that when going on zomboid and go to host game and start it it's stuck on initializing. Idk what's going
Are you trying to host a modded server? The first time initializing takes a long time when you have a lot of mods installed (for me usually it takes around 25 - 30 mins with the amount of mods I have.) You just need to wait and let it run. Speed may also depend on your PC's specs.
what if i just wanna host a game for a short while and play it later with friends? Do I just have the mods installed and make sure they have the same ones and would it still work from there?
What to do with mod updates? Players have their mod updated automatically, but the server does not. Because of this, the server does not allow you to play because of different versions of mods. Restart helps, but modders update mods at different times and a scheduled restart will not help much. Because you will have to wait until the restart, or call the administrator for a restart.
Hey Jake, amazing content. I would like to set one up on a server, not on my own machine. Do you think it is easier to set up on my PC (like you did) and then just copy/paste the stuff into the online server I'd rent, or you think setting up from zero on the rented server is better? Usually, the interface sucks on these platforms...
Do you have to start the server initially before you can successfully boot up the dedicated server? I’d get an ‘unknown’ message after attempting to load in using the servers name
Thanks for the video. I'm running into an issue I was curious if you could help me with. I'm new to creating a dedicated server so this is all new to me. Thank you for your time.
How can I convert a multiplayer server into a single-player mode? My friend doesn't play the game much anymore, and I'm interested in having the server, complete with our shared map and bases, transformed into a single-player experience for myself
I really don't know what I did wrong but I can not get the server to boot up with mods. I can run it fine in vanilla but it just won't boot with mods. It stops at the very first mod and just stops booting.
When I try to open the startserver64 file after adding my mods and stuff it says “assertion failed: Illegal termination of worker thread ‘CfileWriterThread’” anybody know how to solve this?
Great video, I noticed you had around 8gb of ram used for the server. I have about 16gb of ram on my computer. Should 8gb of ram be enough for a heavily modded server of about 5 people?
wonder if you can do this one xisting servers ? i had a server with my friends but after a few times the map was restarted and we lost all of our progression
This may be late, does doing this mean I don't have to host to start the world or server? And my friends can find the server in the multiplayer section?
I might be a bit late to this video, but apparently my Zomboid wont launch when i launch the server, how is it i join my own server? I might have missed some parts but i feel like i watched the video 3 times lol
So iguess "StartServer64" needs to be started and needs to be active in order to join that server?? How do you join the server? Via the official game and then host? or join?
i seems like it, because somehow steam is forwarding ports for you instead of doing it through hamachi etc. i tried everything, but my friends always get the message "server failed to respond" i tried fixing it for 4 hours straight without succes. pls help
Duuude thanks for this! Couldn't find a better tutorial than this. The other ones mostly talk about paying a fee to start a server - but this one - just for friends, it's going to be awesome!

how do i open the sever up and the command ipconfig is not working for me@@TheRealSilv
Good man, you saved me hours figuring out why the mods weren't working even though client side ones seemed to for me.
Server configured and ready for tomorrow evening. 👍
Now they are adding a WHOLE new section to the map too. Its gonna be amazing!

Sorry not the greatest at this stuff but I started the server for the first time and it never asked me me a password or anything
Why bro look like a MyPlayer from 2k

@@jewvontethat’s the joke
Bro just did racism
@@moopaloopathats the joke
If it doesn't work, or it shows error with 'CFileWriterThread' write in text file "steam_appid" in the dedicated server replace the number with 108600
Thank u so much it helped me
@@kaynshadowrust4663 you are from Somalia (me too)
YOOOO saved me fr
after you run the program, does the server just keep running on the background? Or only while you are hosting through the game
After many off base videos I found yours. You shared your epiphany and now I’m not smashing my keyboard. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I got this for my birthday with 4 copies and i want to set it up for me and my friends :) ❤
"Y'all know they are adding NPC's" aww... fuck that update is taking long hahah
Great guide, thanks, helped me set up a server!
i need help. ive done everything in the video and the server is technically started but i cannot search for the server idk what to do
the vibes and quality are off the charts!
i did everything you said to do, but it says "unknown option -servername, unknown option " and ive tried changing the world name, deleting the space between -servername and my world name but it still doesnt work. help me out here
same, and im also getting "user admin not found, command line admin password: null, enter new admin password".
@YourBoyJake Thanks man, you just figured out my issue, how to point to which file/server to load, Sophie 1.13.1 now loads on my dedicated server! you earned a sub.

When i try to join my server, it says wrong server password. Idk what to do
Goat vid been trying to do this for so long but was having the problem with not seeing certain options. had no idea steam had tools in that drop down box lol,

hey man i might sound dumb but how do I join the server now
Dope vid man, saved me a lot of frustration lol
Did you do it successfully?
thx dude nice guide!!!! I finally turn on my MODS!!!! Hurray!!! 😀
thank you dear. you explained that super easy for my small brain. i was worried i had to code and shit

This was dope thanks man
how do I know if the server already started? Do I just join like how I would if I joined a server from the menu screen?
Fantastic content, thank you!
Thank you so much dawg 🙏

Please help....
After i did all of it and when i start it said (server has stopped working during launch ((NormalTermination))
My man, quick question does it need to be installed in the same hard drive as Project Zomboid (Game) ?
When i launched the dedicated server it had a bunch of code, "fatal error detected by java..." , "internal error (zmap windows)..." , "failed to commit memory" , etc etc.....F
Is it still not working for u?
Great Video! Thanks homie!
Thx for the help but I still have a little problem. This is my first time making a server and I wanted to be desired which seems to have worked but problem is that when going on zomboid and go to host game and start it it's stuck on initializing. Idk what's going

Helped a lot bro thnx man

Dam bro nice views nice too see that your still doing great
Love you bruu
Thanks this was so helpful
love tha channel bruh
i was wondering why my mods wouldnt work on my server i forgot the workshop thing omg thank you for the help
I just started playing this week and wanna do a modded server how much of this is still up to date?
Very Helpful. Thanks.
I just followed this, I could find my launched server in the Join, but my friend couldnt find my server
LMAO Thank you for this!
when i’m loading a modded server with mod config, the mod settings aren’t showing up on the list of server settings
I have the same problem. I searched it up and no one talks about it
do dedicated servers offer better connection compared to the in-built 'hosting' option
Thank you, very informative
what if i just wanna host a game for a short while and play it later with friends? Do I just have the mods installed and make sure they have the same ones and would it still work from there?
giving me some sort of error saying assertion failed illegal termination of worker thread? any fix?
I did everything here, and it was simple, but my server never gets past initializing, and then terminates. why?
Trying to do a modded server as well
same for me, any chance you figuered it out?
so how do i open the server after i make it in the CMD? do i host it like normal or is it something else?
Yea, good question. Like why we even need to make all these if we gonna launc server as usual.

how to beat this?

mine doesn't appear to configure the mod like yours appears, for example, it changes the spawn of mod weapons
Yoo i got a problem the mods wont download when starting the server it says required mod not found and doesn't download them
Yo what do i do after the last step do I just launch pz or should it auto launch
so what is the next step after its complete? Close the CMD window?
Hey so did you figure out what to do next im confused
Next step after the end of the video?
Are you talking about how to connect to it and play after you've made it?
@@YourBoyJakee Yes, I can't find the server when trying to connect too it
@@brianhudgens5460 yeah what do u do after the cmd has stopped loading lol
Great video, I noticed you had around 8gb of ram used for the server. I have about 16gb of ram on my computer. Should 8gb of ram be enough for a heavily modded server of about 5 people?
8 gb should be more than enough
it did help me, but it didn't work. it keeps saying "file doesn't exist on server" and kicks me out of the game. please help if you can.
thank you brother.
How do you make the server allow your friends to play when youre offline?
wonder if you can do this one xisting servers ? i had a server with my friends but after a few times the map was restarted and we lost all of our progression
very good tutorial,great joob
thank you for the help!!
Didnt work for me unfortunatly it says failed to map memory? No idea...
This may be late, does doing this mean I don't have to host to start the world or server? And my friends can find the server in the multiplayer section?
My friend cannot join the server it always says the server isn’t responding.
Dope video dude, I know I'm 10 months late but how do I turn the server off if I wanted to?
So, if I already have a server up...can I add mods to it? Or would I have to start a fresh server?
i tried following and I have messed up somewhere, as now project zomboid wont launch, if anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated
one thing if i make a server and im playing than it says like file doens't exist like tsar or somting
If you have launched the server from steam you will have to reverefy your game files i had this problem just a heads up.
I might be a bit late to this video, but apparently my Zomboid wont launch when i launch the server, how is it i join my own server?
I might have missed some parts but i feel like i watched the video 3 times lol
I keep getting "Steam ID Banned" for my own error and idk how to fix it, someone said delete the .db file but it didnt do anything
thank you so much bro
Cheers to the modders
good video, helpful too
wait where do i put the ip address at cuz ion got a setting anywhere for it in zomboid
So iguess "StartServer64" needs to be started and needs to be active in order to join that server?? How do you join the server? Via the official game and then host? or join?
So i can make a private dedicated server with out port forwarding?
i seems like it, because somehow steam is forwarding ports for you instead of doing it through hamachi etc.
i tried everything, but my friends always get the message "server failed to respond"
i tried fixing it for 4 hours straight without succes.
pls help
Wait so will the server stay open after I close the dedicated server app?
having trouble letting friends connect, says the server isnt responding for them but works perfect for me, pls help! lol
