Description
What is this?

A simple mod that allows you to create chunk lists in the game and dump the lists on the server side. These lists can then be used for processing - a good usage for example is periodic chunk deletions (map resets for specific areas) or backups.


How do I use this?

Just install it, then load in. Admin ranked people have a context menu entry to begin and dump lists. You begin a list, you name it (will be file name on server) and then you walk around. It highlights the chunks. If you are done, just dump it via context menu. The file will be created on the server. For larger areas it is advised to split them into multiple chunk lists. The lists are saved in Zomboid/Lua/chunk_lists/


Scripts

I bundled 4 scripts with this mod, made for Linux bash. You can find them in the folder "common". They can back lists up and remove them (note: the ones to be deleted need to be in Zomboid/Lua/chunk_lists/removal/). Only the "_start" ones are to be executed. You also need to set the path properly in the code files, and adjust it to your server. No guarantees on that. It's the stuff I use myself.


Is it safe to add / remove?

Yes, absolutely. The created lists will stay.


Other stuff

If you like the mod and want to help me, please don't forget to rate it. Also please consider donating a coffee[ko-fi.com]. It would mean a lot to me.

This mod does not typically delete files, you might have a corrupted Zomboid.

Go ahead and uninstall your zomboid, unsubscribe from all workshop items - go to your workshop folder and clean it.

Hello! An error popped up about some file being incompatible. I didn't have time to see what happened. Now the mod doesn't work at all. The context menu with the item does not appear. I tried deleting and re-downloading the mod several times. Checked the integrity of the game. Everything is ok. I created a new world - it doesn't work. I'm an admin. It worked before this error. Maybe the mod deleted some file?

Basically how it would be normally, an RV Interior is just a empty spot on the map far away from the normal map.

how do you record chunk inside rv interior

you rule bikinihorst i love your mods from the beggining, now i have a server on nitrado with some mod maps. and the loot its NOT respawning in my modded maps and its in the vanila ones.
can i use this tool to force respawn in those maps?

thanks for this great mod, thanks to this mod i can save a list of numbers that refer to the various chunks of the map, after i ask chatgpt to create a string like this "map_" added before each token and separated by commas, no spaces.
The list is created automatically and I can restore small areas from the map on each restart.
I have a few questions if you can answer them.
Can I create a chunk list greater than 10x10 chunks?
Is there a place where you can visimanete the "coordinates" of the various chunks?

you can make a chunk list of the map areas you need to regenerate but that is probably not worth the effort. adding map mods mid game is always iffy, in particular with some becoming loot sterile because of broken zoning definitions.

will this mod help a savvy admin in doing this? only the "map and dump a list of the chunks that need to be deleted" kind of way. the rest is up to you.

will this mod help fixing late map mod indstallations?
Trying to add research facility to my map, but dosent seem to load in.
Ravencreek is installed from start and works.

Before i tried to add research facility, i already been i the location where it should be located.
So thought it could fix it, if i could reload the chunk

you need shell access of some sort to run the scripts. i never had any administration experience with anything other than dedicated server running on bare metal, so your guess is as good as mine, if yours supports that. this mod just spits out a list of chunks that can be processed in any way an admin needs. if you're on windows there's also somebody who made a windows version down the line in the comments.
