More than one way to modify this mods settings? Can I add something to the Sandbox.var?
So I have the mod enabled and strangely it appears to be working. The problem is there doesn't appear to be any options to actually change how it's set up in the servers options. I am hosting it's not dedicated. I'm thinking it's conflicting with some other mod and preventing the options from appearing.

The workshop ID and number are both entered into the server.ini. I'm perplexed at why this doesn't show any additional information on options in the server settings.

How can I manually input the settings via var?

I wonder if there is any possibility to move the options into the options in game which appears to be the way most mods are setting up their options so as to not conflict by using mod options mod. I'm kind of wondering if that is what is breaking this for me.

Add to your SandboxVars.lua:

HordeNightMain = { HordeNightHour=22 FirstHordeNightDay=14 HordeNightFrequency=14 FirstHordeNightZombiesCount=30 HordeNightZombieIncrement=5 HordeNightZombieCountMax=200 RandomHordeNightChance=0.0 HordeNightZombieSpawnDistance=90 HordeNightIndicator=true }

and modify as desired

This is exactly what i was looking for thank you! Is there anywhere specifically i should be putting this in the file? Inside the Zombieconfig variables or just anywhere is fine?

I would also like to know where to put this code in the sandboxvars. I put it on the bottom and Horde night is not activating. What am I doing wrong?

An alternative solution is to disable all mods at the start of launching Zomboid and ONLY have mods that require setup enabled. This will allow you to see the settings as the modder intended.

Actually I figured it out without editing the sandboxvars at all. Enable the mod in the mods menu at the start and the options opens up when you setup a server as intended.

Ya that's what I said. The only reason this is ever an issue is if you enable too many mods that it prevents THIS mod from being able to function properly for setup. In my case I had to disable ALL mods except this and one other one that had a similar set up. Cause you only need to enable those mods if you are playing solo. If your doing a server you don't have to. So you just need to enable those that have config options if you even having trouble with it working properly.

I used the sandbox.var before I figure out that mods were preventing the original options in the server config from showing up.
