Not sure if this is supposed to be working for multiplayer or not, but on a dedicated server, I see this:

STACK TRACE


-------------------------------------------------
It doesn't crash, the mod just doesnt work. I'm not familiar with lua, but it seems like there are some leading spaces being injected into the preset name causing the preset check to fail.

EDIT: After looking into it more, it looks like the preset being set to 'default' , but the checks only look for 'dayTime', 'nightTime', and 'specialTime'

Adjusting the code to change 'default' to 'dayTime' as the default time fixes this error and I see the checks running within the server logs, but I don't see any changes to zombie behavior.

This is in rzf_server.lua in the function UpdatePreset()

Ah! good catch! I added "default" to make the logs looks clearer but forgot to add it as an accepted "neutral" preset. I'll fix it asap.

The "default" need to exists to allow the mod to fallback on the "default" game Zombie Lore in case someone only activate, let's say "nightTime" and want that during the day the zombies follow the regular unmodded behaviour on the server/solo settings.

I'm on it, just making myself a coffee and I'll release a fix.

Can you give me a screenshot or the main-page settings for the mod or paste here the SandboxVars of your settings?

I'm just reviewing the logic and the case in which the check on the preset enabled run, should really never end up checking against "default" as the first that runs is detecting if it's day time or night time.

I just started a dedicated server using https://hub.docker.com/r/renegademaster/zomboid-dedicated-server and it seems to pick up the preset correctly (initialize, detect daytime, move on).

Also started a local hosted and works fine as well.

I'll need that screenshot to see if I may have forgot some edge case

I'm quickly realising that the steam forum are a terrible tool to do bug reporting and resolution. If you want, you can go here: https://github.com/theCrius/project-zomboid-random-zombies-full/issues/new/choose and create a bug from there.
However, In this specific case, we can continue here if you prefer :)

Until someone post a screenshot of their "Random Zombies Full - Main Page" or a paste of their SandboxVars I can't reproduce the issue guys.

Thank you, I'll double check. If you can, try and pass me along the log file or even just a little more of the logs you just pasted.

I'll double check again for solo/hosted server

Thanks again 666rdsrds666, it seems like the GameTime is not instantiated when the mod start, weird as it's supposed to be invoked only on OnGameStart and OnServerStarted.

I'll try and add more logs into the function that determine the initial schedule. Would you mind trying again in about 8h (tomorrow) and report back with another log copy? Unfortunately it doesn't happen on my local and dedicated server so I can't really understand what could go wrong on your side.

GOTCHA!

The recent addition of the special case (rain, fog, snow) introduced a new variable and I forgot to transpose the result in case it's not enable! Thanks so much for reporting it!

My server/local had the rain active so I couldn't notice it :(

I'll release an update in 5 minutes!
