For this step on the server:
4. Add { name = "Louisville, KY", file = "media/maps/OccupiedLouisvilleKY/spawnpoints.lua" }, to your server's SpawnRegions.lua

After adding the map, it automatically generates this but with "OccupiedLouisvilleKY". Do I add an additional entry then? As both point to the same file.

Thank you so much! Happy holidays!

If I do an updated Occupied Louisville for Build B42, I'll probably do it by re-picking the spawn points from scratch, to take advantage of new z-level geography (and because I didn't keep note of which spawn points were which in the first place).

Also, no more bus stops in the main spawn-list (they deserve their own), and things of that nature.

If I do end up doing it, I'd probably upload it as its own mod.

That'd all have to wait at least until after an updated map of B42 unstable with co-ordinates is made available online though.

Any ideas to Build 42?
If you will work on it when you're available, will the update be posted here or on a new page?

@bruno. the mod is still working.

is the mod still working? ( ping me)

I'm loving the description of this mod

For some reason it's not working in multiplayer

chose unemployed and spawned next to an open grave in a cemetery and had to run for my life, brilliant fun.

I'd love a version of this that has zero bus stop spawns, instant quit to menu when I see I spawn in one of those.

wtf are the engie spawns, they suck so bad
also id the option to instead start at a home in louisville

320 spawn points yet I got the same bus stop like 5 times in a row, on high pop peak day 1 this mod sucks

I did everything correctly in the steps and it doesn't show the spawn point when I go to spawn, but I see it everywhere else. I'm not sure if there is something that didn't save but I'm almost positive I did most of it correctly

somehow i did everything in the checklist and in my settings it does show up. but when i die in the multiplayer save to see if the spawn for louisville is there, it is not.... and i dont really know why

what about jobs that not listed above (from mods). will it defaulted to something?

@hungry for More? you needa change the spawnregions ini file from memory, I'd look up how to do it because you need to know the file location for the mod to make it a region

Does anyone know if there is a mod that adds occupational spawns to the vanilla spawn towns?
And, if possible, adds occupational spawns to the other smaller towns?

If not, that would be a really cool addition to this mod @Cuckoo

I have a mp hosted server, where I imput all of the steps for the Ini, and still dont have Lewisville as an option to spawn. Am I missing something?

Probably gonna be my favorite PZ mod. Louisville supremacy

@Kriv the issue with that is 2 things. 1, start date is set in the difficulty, independent of spawn location. Secondly, it works off of weeks, so closest you can do is 1 week after the apocalypse

I'm not getting an option to spawn in louisville. I've added and enabled the mod in both the server and the mod organizer and I've added OccupiedLouisville to the possible spawns in the settings

hi can you post the map cells used plz?

is there a discord? i have some questions and some suggestions

Due to story reasons, choosing this starting location should make you start later in the game, as the city gets overrun in the fifth day

Awesome! i love this mod and use it all the time now, amazing job! though i did notice that a lot of the spawns are very broken in terms of balance, for example playing as a veteran i'll sometimes spawn in a mall. However, that removes all zombies from the entire mall which makes the game way too easy because i can just grab whatever i need. I'm not sure of a solution but just something to keep in mind.

Hi the thumbnail and description when selecting a spawn region in dedicated server does not show up properly. It works as intended tho, it's just not showing the thumbnail and/or description when selecting.

@ Cuckoo Park ranger spawns sometimes have zombies near enough to bite as soon as I spawn. This is made worse with sprinters. IDK if its possible, but can you can provide a small safe bubble around the spawns? Or some way to not have a bite -1 second into the game lol

Does this work in 41.68 for MP? Can't really take the time to test it with an active server. Seeing someone below say it doesn't work with 41.66 has me curious.

I recently updated to windows 11, and now I have this mod working. So I believe my issue was my using windows 7 still.

Dont work in 41.66

Hmm... Fair enough. Multiple people now have mentioned having trouble with lag when spawning into the mall, so I may have to round up the mall spawns at some point (there's a few, between the occupations) and test them to see if and when I can get this performance issue to come up.

If I can, I wonder whether it's when spawning anywhere in the mall (including store rooms, bathrooms, backrooms, helipad, etc); or if it's when spawning into the store fronts in particular (which would account for most of the mall spawns), with those open entrances that provide no barrier between you and the rest of the mall space.

It would be a bit of a shame, but if it's reproducible, I could try restricting more of those to be store rooms, backrooms, and other spaces initially separated from the general mall area (assuming that's the nature of the issue).

Yeah, had major lag when spawned in the mall, to the point that I could not do anything. Might need to remove that spawn. No issues with any others as of yet though!

So I've tried uninstalling both my game, and the mod, starting new single player games with as many different settings as I could think of prior to selecting starting location, and nothing will get the Louisville spawn to appear when starting a game. I'm starting to think maybe it has something to do with my pc. I'm actually still running W7 if that might have anything to do with it...

Lil to laggy in mall

imagine when Ncp events come so than the military blocked of leuisvill and you spawn inside

Hello , i`ma ru-translated your mod . Will glad if u rate my small but ( helpful for undestanding ) work.
( Will hope u added this localization to the original one )

@Cuckoo Thank you very much!!

@Purp
Of course, don't let me stop you!

@Cuckoo Could I add this mod to a server modpack for my server? I would credit you and add a link back to this page in the description.

Thank you for the kind response! I'm sorry if i seemed harsh at all, i do really like your mod, some of the spawns are really fun! I'll try out the mod you recommended!

@PterribleDactylus
I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that a setting to (perhaps) preclude zombies spawning in your starting room, instead of your entire starting building, would be great. I wouldn't personally know where to begin modding that in, though.

As hinted in the description, I only had singleplayer (or very low-pop co-op) experiences in mind when making this. The fact it works for multiplayer is just a happy coincidence.

It's first and foremost a random(-ish) assortment of stark and incongruently-balanced starting locations, instead of a set of balanced (but mostly-interchangeable) residential houses, mainly because that's what I was interested in working on (at the very least to start).

You may want to try Pillow's Random Spawns if you haven't already, I think I remember it including at least one spawn region (probably more) for domestic neighbourhood starts in Louisville.

Or, to add to my previous comment, a way to make starting buildings spawn with zombies, for at least a slight challenge instead of the sweat and boredom moodles.

This is a really neat mod and all, but it is WAY too unbalanced, i started in the police station, which is connected to 3 other buildings, and got plenty of armor and clothing, and found a hand axe in a supply closet in a connected building, meaning i got into the MASSIVE armory in the police station, being able to get that on day one, with NO resistance from any zombies isn't very balanced or fun, especially on multiplayer. It would be much nicer if there was a version for just houses and no large buildings,

This doesn't seem to be properly adding the Louisville option when making a character?

Nevermind I found it out!

I'm having trouble as I am trying to create a safehouse at a fire station in Louisville, which is a spawnpoint from here. Any way I can go ahead and just delete that spawn point in the files? Where would I do so?

Yes

Does this work for solo?

Okay, thanks a lot for taking time out of your day and trying the mods yourself, I really appreciate it

@Ulas
Just tried it alongside a few other Louisville spawnpoint add-ons, and it all seems to load and run fine.

On a practical level, you'll still have to pick which addon's "Louisville, KY" to use for each new character. They won't all be combined into one master "Louisville, KY" spawn region, or anything along those lines.
