This advanced zombie survival system provides comprehensive zombie mechanics, safe zones, and airdrops for your RedM server and works seamlessly with the POS ecosystem. *** ## Prerequisites
📋 Prerequisites Before beginning the installation process, ensure you have: * **POS-Core** properly installed and running (required) * **Server access** with file modification permissions * **Keymaster** access for script downloads * **Recent server backup** (highly recommended) * **Database access** for table import {% hint style="danger" %} **Critical Requirement**: POS-Core must be installed before POS-Zombie. POS-Zombie depends on POS-Core for core functionality. {% endhint %}
*** ## Installation Steps
🚀 Step 1: Verify POS-Core Installation Before installing POS-Zombie, ensure POS-Core is properly installed: 1. Navigate to your `resources/[POS]/` folder 2. Verify that `POS-Core` folder exists 3. Check that POS-Core is running without errors in your server console ``` resources/ └── [POS]/ └── POS-Core/ ← This must exist ``` {% hint style="warning" %} **Important**: If POS-Core is not installed, please install it first before proceeding with POS-Zombie. {% endhint %}
📦 Step 2: Download and Install POS-Zombie Download and install the POS-Zombie script: 1. Access your **Keymaster** account 2. Download the **POS-Zombie** script 3. Extract the downloaded files 4. Place the `POS-Zombie` folder inside your `[POS]` directory ``` [POS]/ ├── POS-Core/ └── POS-Zombie/ ← Add this folder ```
🗄️ Step 3: Import Database Tables {% hint style="danger" %} **Critical Database Step**: The script requires specific database tables to function properly. {% endhint %} Import the required database structure: 1. Navigate to the `[POS]/POS-Zombie/sql/` folder 2. **Open** your database management tool (phpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, etc.) 3. **Select** your server's database 4. **Import** or **execute** the SQL file(s) found in the sql folder ```sql -- Example: Execute the SQL file in your database -- This will create the necessary tables for POS-Zombie ``` {% hint style="info" %} **Database Tools**: You can use phpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, MySQL Workbench, or the command line to execute the SQL files. {% endhint %} **Verify Database Import:** * Check that new tables have been created in your database * Look for tables with names starting with `pos_zombie_` or similar * Ensure no errors occurred during the import process
🔧 Step 4: Update Server Configuration Configure your server.cfg with the proper load order: 1. Open your `server.cfg` file 2. **Add** `ensure POS-Zombie` after POS-Core: ```cfg # POS Scripts ensure POS-Core ensure POS-Zombie ← Add this line here ``` {% hint style="warning" %} **Load Order is Critical:** Make sure POS-Zombie loads after POS-Core but can load before or after other POS scripts. {% endhint %}
⚙️ Step 5: Configure POS-Zombie Configure POS-Zombie to your liking: 1. Navigate to `resources/[POS]/POS-Zombie/shared/config.lua` 2. **Review** and **modify** the configuration settings as needed 3. **Configure** the following key settings: * **Safe Zone Settings**: Configure safe zones with weapon/damage restrictions * **Zombie Settings**: Set up zombie behavior and sounds * **Looting System**: Configure zombie and airdrop looting * **Airdrop System**: Set up supply drops * **Commands**: Admin commands for zone/airdrop management 4. **Save** your changes ```lua Config.SafeZone = { show = true, disableWeapon = true, invincible = true, disableMelee = true, } Config.ZombieSettings = { sound = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NJYzvDIVE', distance = 25.0, zombieSounds = { { name = "ZombieAmbient_1", index = 1, playing = false, delay = 0, lastStart = 0 }, }, walks = { {"default", "very_drunk"}, {"murfree", "very_drunk"}, {"default", "dehydrated_unarmed"}, } } ``` 5. **Configure Looting System**: ```lua Config.Looting = { enabled = true, deleteAfterLoot = true, chances = { money = 30, item = 50, receiveBoth = 20, }, moneyAmounts = { min = 1, max = 100 }, itemList = { { name = "WEAPON_PISTOL_MAUSER", amount = 1, chance = 2 }, { name = "empty_bucket", amount = 1, chance = 20 }, { name = "apple_seeds", amount = 1, chance = 78 }, } } ``` 6. **Configure Airdrop System**: ```lua Config.AirDrops = { enabled = true, velocity = -0.5, cooldown = { 60000, 120000 }, deleteAfterLoot = true, notification = true, locations = { [1] = { prop = { model = 'p_toolshed02x', offset = -6.5 }, blip = { model = 'blip_mission_area_bounty', size = 25.0, modifier = 'BLIP_MODIFIER_AREA' }, coords = { vector4(2395.3281, -1369.6479, 44.7530, 55.6714) }, } }, } ``` 7. **Navigate** to `resources/[POS]/POS-Zombie/shared/zombies.lua` 8. **Configure** zombie models and health: ```lua Config.Zombies = { { model = 'CS_MrAdler', outfit = 1, health = 300, }, { model = 'CS_ODProstitute', outfit = 0, health = 300, }, { model = 'CS_SwampFreak', outfit = 0, health = 300, }, -- Add more zombie configurations as needed } ``` {% hint style="info" %} **Configuration**: Review all available options in both config files and adjust them to match your server's needs. This includes zombie behavior, safe zones, loot systems, and airdrop mechanics. {% endhint %}
*** ## Post-Installation Verification
✅ Post-Installation Verification **Testing Your Installation** 1. **Start your server** and monitor the console for errors 2. **Join with a test character** and verify: * No console errors related to POS-Zombie * Database connections established * Safe zone system functioning * Zombie spawning and behavior working * Looting system operational * Airdrop system functional **Common Success Indicators** * ✅ No console errors related to POS-Zombie * ✅ POS-Core integration messages appear in console * ✅ Database tables are accessible * ✅ Safe zones work correctly * ✅ Zombie system spawns and behaves properly * ✅ Looting mechanics function * ✅ Airdrop system operational * ✅ Admin commands work * ✅ Server starts without POS-Zombie related errors
*** ## Troubleshooting
🔧 Troubleshooting **Common Issues** **Console Errors About Load Order** * Verify POS-Zombie is loaded after POS-Core * Check that POS-Core is running without errors **Database Connection Issues** * Confirm database settings are properly configured * Check that all SQL files were imported successfully * Verify database tables exist and have correct permissions **POS-Core Integration Issues** * Ensure POS-Core is properly installed and running * Check that POS-Core loads before POS-Zombie * Verify POS-Core configuration is correct **Zombie System Not Working** * Check zombie configuration in zombies.lua * Verify zombie models and outfits are valid * Test zombie spawning and AI behavior **Safe Zone Issues** * Check safe zone configuration settings * Verify safe zone creation commands work * Test safe zone boundaries and restrictions **Looting System Problems** * Check looting configuration settings * Verify loot table items exist in database * Test looting mechanics and chances **Airdrop System Issues** * Check airdrop configuration settings * Verify airdrop spawn locations are accessible * Test airdrop spawning and looting **Getting Support** If you encounter issues not covered here: 1. **Check Console**: Look for specific error messages 2. **Verify Steps**: Ensure each installation step was completed 3. **Check POS-Core**: Ensure POS-Core is working properly 4. **Test Database**: Verify database operations are working 5. **Contact Support**: Reach out with console logs and specific error descriptions
