its not working for me

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?

I'm loving the description of this mod
alimpic Jul 4, 2024 @ 2:53pm 
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. :steamthumbsup:

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.
Great_Puffer Feb 9, 2024 @ 10:38pm 
wtf are the engie spawns, they suck so bad
also id the option to instead start at a home in louisville
Appleshark Jan 28, 2024 @ 7:00pm 
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
Djuze~Goose Sep 12, 2023 @ 12:47pm 
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
BroDimm Jul 18, 2023 @ 10:29pm 
what about jobs that not listed above (from mods). will it defaulted to something?
Mr. KillerX Apr 6, 2023 @ 12:25pm 
@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
Kafkatrap Mar 31, 2023 @ 5:02pm 
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 :lunar2019piginablanket:
Hungry for More? Mar 31, 2023 @ 3:40pm 
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?
star Feb 3, 2023 @ 10:01pm 
Probably gonna be my favorite PZ mod. Louisville supremacy
eg Dec 30, 2022 @ 11:50am 
@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
SilverHusky Dec 11, 2022 @ 3:21am 
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
kermie_lover Nov 1, 2022 @ 3:59am 
hi can you post the map cells used plz?
anthonator00 Aug 14, 2022 @ 10:06pm 
is there a discord? i have some questions and some suggestions
The horse Jul 13, 2022 @ 5:52am 
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
BaconBits Jun 22, 2022 @ 8:07pm 
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.
Soulstorm012 May 20, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
@ 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.
Sweet Baby Jesus Feb 25, 2022 @ 10:59pm 
I recently updated to windows 11, and now I have this mod working. So I believe my issue was my using windows 7 still.
Falke Feb 25, 2022 @ 5:18am 
Dont work in 41.66
Cuckoo  [author] Feb 14, 2022 @ 5:53am 
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).
Kal Feb 14, 2022 @ 12:41am 
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!
Sweet Baby Jesus Feb 6, 2022 @ 8:49am 
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...
Rifted Seal Feb 5, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
Lil to laggy in mall
jax Feb 1, 2022 @ 1:23pm 
imagine when Ncp events come so than the military blocked of leuisvill and you spawn inside
cvtcvtcvt Jan 31, 2022 @ 9:11am 
Hello , i`ma ru-translated your mod . Will glad if u rate my small but ( helpful for undestanding ) work. :pillow:
( Will hope u added this localization to the original one )
Purp Jan 25, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
@Cuckoo Thank you very much!!
Cuckoo  [author] Jan 25, 2022 @ 10:09am 
@Purp
Of course, don't let me stop you!
Purp Jan 24, 2022 @ 6:35pm 
@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.
PterribleDactylus Jan 20, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
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!
Cuckoo  [author] Jan 20, 2022 @ 3:46pm 
@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.
PterribleDactylus Jan 20, 2022 @ 11:16am 
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.
PterribleDactylus Jan 20, 2022 @ 11:14am 
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,
wind-up mouse Jan 19, 2022 @ 9:29pm 
This doesn't seem to be properly adding the Louisville option when making a character?
StoicSpecimen Jan 16, 2022 @ 2:31pm 
Nevermind I found it out!
StoicSpecimen Jan 16, 2022 @ 2:17pm 
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?
shit-for-brains Jan 12, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
Yes
Ghost of Mildred Monday Jan 12, 2022 @ 5:31pm 
Does this work for solo?
Ulas Jan 12, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
Okay, thanks a lot for taking time out of your day and trying the mods yourself, I really appreciate it
