How to Set Custom Spawn Regions in Project Zomboid

​

Spawn Navigation: Selection Menus

When a new player joins your Project Zomboid server, they are prompted to select a starting location (e.g., Muldraugh, West Point). If you have installed map mods, they usually do not appear in this list automatically. You must manually register their spawn points file in your server’s configuration.

​

Editing the Spawn List

1. Verify the Structure: The file uses a standard Lua function to return a table of names and file paths.
2. Add Your Mod: Insert a new entry for your mod map using the path found within the mod’s files.

function SpawnRegions()
    return {
        { name = "Muldraugh, KY", file = "media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
        { name = "Riverside, KY", file = "media/maps/Riverside, KY/spawnpoints.lua" },
        -- Custom Mod Entry Below:
        { name = "Raven Creek", file = "media/maps/RavenCreek/spawnpoints.lua" },
    }
end
