Guides

The problems people actually hit running a game server for their friends, one per page, each one solved completely — with the numbers we measured ourselves. The app is the last paragraph, never the first.

Project Zomboid

SCUM

  • SCUM admin commands — the setup, then the list

    What to put in AdminUsers.ini and in the database before a command works, then the commands by task — money, skills, spawning past 10, the item list — each one typed on SCUM 1.3.3 by us, and all 233 commands the server knows, read from its own files.

  • SCUM dedicated server setup on Windows

    6 GB to download but 17 GB on disk, three UDP ports, a query port you have to spell out and a log line that lies. Setting up a SCUM dedicated server on your own PC, measured on a real install.

  • SCUM item IDs — every spawn name, by folder

    All 3,292 item names a SCUM 1.3.3 server will spawn, read from the server's own files and sorted the way the game sorts them — with the #SpawnItem line ready to copy.
