Sandbox settings reset everytime i start the server

[Cachorro Chupetao]

I don't know what causes this or if it's even a mod that does this but it's annoying, I started noticing this when i tried to change the sandbox settings of my server and realized there were mods that i deleted from the server like antibodies, I deleted it weeks ago and i still could change the infection rate and everything from it.
But new mods dont appear in the sandbox tab, the only way i can change them it's from the sandbox.lua file with Edit++ and granting admin myself ingame. Even if i close the server the sandbox reset and i have to do the changes all again.

If someone knows how to fix this i would be glad to contact.

...I'm not sure I'm 100% following....but maybe it is erroring out somewhere and drawing from a save/backup?

Is it a dedicated or a coop server? And how exactly do you change the settings? Preferably step by step.

Maybe it's that because sometimes I backup the server manually because of the Vram.

Coop server with 300 mods.

Normally I would change the sandbox settings inside the game

server settings --> change sandbox settings

But if I do that the options for mods that are active don't appear and old mods that I've unsubscribed from the server still appear as if I can customize them.

Now I'm doing it both ways, giving myself admin /grant admin "user" and the sandbox tab is updated with all the mods active. Or the other way is manually with the sandbox Lua file, even doing this it stills resets to the old settings.

If you just go through the Host menu > Server Settings, the mods it will load will not be the server mods, but the mods enabled in your Main Menu > Mods page
Meaning, if you have old mods or mods that are not enabled on the server, settings for those will show.

As for your reset issue, try going to the server save folder and delete the map_sand.bin file found there.

I don't have a map_sand.bin in my server file. Only in the [servername].player file there is one.

Are you certain you are in the save folder? Generally its in the User/Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer/servername folder.

[Cachorro Chupetao]

Yes, i am in the Multiplayer files of my server, i can find the map.bin or even the map_ver.bin but not the map_sand.bin, theres only one in the server player one.

[Beard]

Weird, in that case, are you able to change any other settings that are not modded? Preferably do these changes through the sandbox file.

[Cachorro Chupetao]

Maybe i can place the map_sand.bin file from the player save file into the multiplayer one, but i've never tested chaning other thing that is vanilla. I'm gonna change something like erosion speed and see if it resets.

[Cachorro Chupetao]

Vanilla sandbox don't reset, modded sandbox options reset when i open the server.

[Cachorro Chupetao]

I copied the map_sand file from the server_player and the settings still keep resetting.

I think i found the problem, when chaning the ammo counter option of A26 it resets all the changes like they were before.
