First Time Setup

Dependency order, install notes, config flags, and first live checks

Start here

Use this order for the first live install.

1

Follow the base load order

Follow FIRST STEPS (READ FIRST) for the load order.

Then verify these dependencies are already running:

• envi-zombies-props

• your target resource if you use target mode

2

Keep the packaged UI files

Keep the packaged web/ folder from the download.

Blank UI usually means those files are missing or outdated.

3

Review install pack notes

The resource ships with popgroups_z.xml for population tuning.

If you use Config.UsingYashaZombiesPack, follow that pack's extra notes too.

4

Set the core live flags

Review these first:

• Config.Debug = false

• Config.Target

• Config.AdminRole

• Config.AdminMenuCommand

• Config.FreeRoamZombies

• Config.Leaderboards

5

Align your maps and arcade access

Check these first:

• Config.GameModes

• Config.Maps

• Config.ArcadeLocations

• Config.ZombieGamesCommand

• Config.SafeZones

• Config.DangerZones

Make sure your chosen maps, props, and zones match your server world.

6

Wire the open hooks

Review these open files before going live:

• server/server_edit.lua

• client/client_edit.lua

That is where webhook URLs, HUD integration, weather, notifications, text UI, and ped zombify protection are adjusted.

Anti-cheat checks

If your anti-cheat blocks particles, props, or temporary whitelisting flows, review the packaged anti-cheat notes before live testing.

Good first checks

• Missing props usually means envi-zombies-props is not running.

• Admin commands failing usually means the admin role does not match your framework or ACE setup.

• If leaderboards are enabled, make sure the leaderboard JSON file is writable.
