How Do I Upload and Install Custom Prefab on Dedicated Server for 7 Days to Die

I had a video around here somewhere...

Urgh can't observe it.

Did find this though...

You lot take to do this on your own dedicated server and edit the files directly

I am actually doing this myself for my defended server.

At present at that place are 2 ways to handle this.

Best Method

I suggest doing this in Single Player starting time (Generate the Game world you would name in the server so information technology created the canton information technology volition exist the same how the server does information technology.

And so once that is done utilize the Earth Editor place the prefabs where yous want. on the County file there is a prefabs.xml that is created. looks like the ane in Nevsgene. You can edit that Prefabs.xml yourself yous volition basically see where everything that was generated and added to that globe is placed. Me personally I loaded the Globe editor and and then seen a lot of the same POIs in one area and replaced it with another prefab.

This method keeps the POIs loaded where you lot placed or added them if you lot always have to reset the region chink

Yous can go to the loaded POI on the map and become its location and then comment information technology out in Notepad++ (Which I recommend doing commencement) then saving information technology in Notepad++ then identify your Prefab that you lot want there to take its identify. or if you merely want it removed then just comment it out.

Using the world editor and placing the prefabs where you want them. Now some prefabs will load above the surface area intended so yous will have to adjust the Y in the prefabs.xml area. Yous will want to exercise the following in all cases:

Once yous are happy with that location printing ESC and salve!, Get out the earth editor. You will run across the change in Notepad++ where the new prefab has been added. Now reload the world editor and y'all will see the new prefab placed in the world. If the prefab is loaded higher above ground, yous will want to make the change in Notepad++ adjusting the Y office of the coordinates and lowering that numberm, save information technology once y'all have washed the ESC, Salve, Exit and then reload to come across if the height is right.

Circumspection attempt not to place too many prefabs at one time and then saving them unless you get really good at this. because one thing I have noticed is if yous do non save an exit, you can have multiple entries for that same prefab. This tin be tedious and fourth dimension consuming merely it's well worth it besides. Thus giving you a visual of whats going on.

Things to consider with this method which is why I suggest doing this in the globe editor first. Annihilation yous add together will become to the bottom of the list of the prefabs.xml. That being said, if y'all are simply adding a new prefab over an existing location without commenting it out, the newest improver to the list (the list) will be placed over the existing location which tin can cause the previous POI loaded to be clipped abroad. And then you can either go to that POIs department in the prefabs.xml and annotate that out or adjust the coordinates to non over lap each other. Me Personally I similar to only comment it out.

Second Method

Second style would be using like Bad Companies and adding them using that. However this volition not continue them in the game if you accept to restore the game region files.

Examples of what I did, I wanted a existent downtown looking area and real looking neighborhoods

Another bending

The possibilities are endless.

Now in order to go this in the Defended server in one case you are done.

1. Offset the dedicated server and make sure y'all generate the world you want

ii. Once its created that folder or before anyone logs into it. Impale the defended server

3. and so go to the that created Globe in the Configs/Worlds and so the county created.

4. Open up up the folder that was created on the single player and re-create the contents over to the server dedicated canton.

five. Delete the game proper name saved folder for the dedicated server.

half dozen. Restart the dedicated server

seven. At present the dedicated server should take the new prefab locations generated and able to play on the server.

Annotation: Before doing annihilation on the dedicated server this requires a new game so before doing so you lot may desire to make sure you finish adding/editing what you want in your globe PRIOR to starting the server earlier copying over everything. As once the game starts or someone enters it the Regions will start to generate and whatsoever new additions volition not exist loaded unless yous stop the server and delete that region which will reset the region and load any prefabs there from the prefabs.xml

This is why its best to consummate it first prior to importing
