[B41 / B42.15+] Chunk list tool

What is this?

A simple mod that allows you to create chunk lists in the game and dump the lists on the server side. These lists can then be used for processing - a good usage for example is periodic chunk deletions (map resets for specific areas) or backups.

How do I use this?

Just install it, then load in. Admin ranked people have a context menu entry to begin and dump lists. You begin a list, you name it (will be file name on server) and then you walk around. It highlights the chunks. If you are done, just dump it via context menu. The file will be created on the server. For larger areas it is advised to split them into multiple chunk lists. The lists are saved in Zomboid/Lua/chunk_lists/

Scripts

I bundled 4 scripts with this mod, made for Linux bash. You can find them in the folder "common". They can back lists up and remove them (note: the ones to be deleted need to be in Zomboid/Lua/chunk_lists/removal/). Only the "_start" ones are to be executed. You also need to set the path properly in the code files, and adjust it to your server. No guarantees on that. It's the stuff I use myself.

Is it safe to add / remove?

Yes, absolutely. The created lists will stay.
