Problem Description

Issue

When importing an existing Project Zomboid server folder into AMP, the server.ini (mods and workshop items) is overwritten each time the server starts.

Reproduction Steps

  • Create a new Project Zomboid AMP instance (Update + Start Once).
  • Stop Server.
  • Replace /ProjectZomboid01/project-zomboid/380870/Zomboid with an existing server folder.
  • Grant folder permissions to amp user with “chown -R amp:amp Zomboid”
  • Start the server.

Right click on the ini in the instance file manager, import

This way AMP knows about the contents and won’t overwrite with the existing settings in its UI (under Configuration-> Project Zomboid)
