"Could not find zone" Simple fix

Hello! I over-engineered a program to fix the annoying error I keep getting whenever I download a custom zombies map: Could not find zone "**_zm_(maps)" without changing the game's language.

What is the problem?

Some map makers unfortunately have their mod tools configured improperly, thus when they publish a map, it only has English localization and does not have the files for other localizations, so if your game uses a specific localization, and the file does not exist for it, it will just crash.

This is how it looks if you have Arabic localization like me:

So how do we fix it?

Well, I have some good news and some bad news.

It's easily fixable, but it wont apply to any future map you download.

There is a manual way to go inside the workshop files and make a copy of a specific localization then rename the copy as your localization, however, this is very inconvenient and annoying to do every single time you download a new map, or if you have a ton of maps downloaded.

So I over-engineered this solution here[github.com]

It's a python program to simply fix this issue for all the maps you currently have downloaded, with any localization. This is how it looks like:













All you need to do is put in the path to your workshop folder, which should be by default:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\311210

or if you have it on a secondary drive:

(Drive letter):\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\311210

Then simply pick the region, and then press "Fix Custom Maps"

It'll take a few moments but then, Voila!

All your custom maps will be fixed! :)

Conclusion

I hope this simple program I made in my spare time helps you!
