Sandbox options are server options. ModOptions support it (yet?). But a mod author should make their options sandboxed.

So developers should make them into that section since I cant change any options on server and lots of them are not working thank you for that information Star you are a legend <3

You can just upload "%userprofile%\Zomboid\Lua\mods_options.ini" file to "Zomboid\Lua\" on your server so that your server side mod options work... I just tested this now, i can even see the results of them but i cant change them...

If we can get the event on servers when you click the apply button then really the only thing we would need to do send a table over to the server with the modoption settings that are updated on the sandbox options window.

though im having issues reading updated variables out of that window maybe its cause i really dont know what im doing with gui stuff. :P but ill keep poking around.

this could work just need to trigger on the apply button and capture the update input in the sandbox window instead of the options one.

I'm playing on my own dedicated server, and it seems mod options still doesn't work for certain mods? Would I have to ask mod devs to make their options sandboxed? or can I also do what @Xyberviri did and input the mod_options.ini file directly into my zomboid/lua folder. thank you

after going through the comments, i found a solution to go to the mod_options.ini file and set to READ ONLY as a temporary fix to the settings going to default when reconnecting to a server. I'll lyk if this works or not
