v1.2.6 (Public Release)

How to install

Windows: download PZMM_1.2.6_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Windows will probably say it protected your PC, because the installer isn't code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Linux: PZMM_1.2.6_amd64.AppImage runs on any distro (chmod +x it first). On Debian or Ubuntu you can install PZMM_1.2.6_amd64.deb instead with sudo apt install ./PZMM_1.2.6_amd64.deb. Workshop downloads need lib32gcc-s1.

A server with no desktop: pzmm-linux-x64 or pzmm-windows-x64.exe is the command-line version, one file.

Already got PZMM? It updates itself: click Update and restart above the tabs.

You don't need the .sig files or latest.json; they're for the updater. SHA256SUMS.txt lets you check your download.

Warning

Early access pre-release. PZMM is still in development and hasn't launched yet, so you may run into bugs. Back up your saves before using it.

Found a bug? Report it on Discord or open a GitHub issue. Say what you did, what happened and what you expected, and paste the diagnostics from Settings > About > Copy diagnostics (your user name is masked).

A bigger one this time, mostly from playtesting notes. Lots of small annoyances gone, and a few things that should have been there from the start.

• Batch actions hit every selected mod. Turn on, turn off, update or remove a whole selection at once, not just the mod you right-clicked.
• Subscribe from the chips. The Workshop and Subscribed chips in My mods subscribe and unsubscribe in one click, and the mod shows up a few seconds later without a rescan.
• Uninstall from Browse Workshop. Installed cards get an Uninstall button.
• ZombieBuddy stops asking. Java mods you turn on in PZMM are allowed in ZombieBuddy when you press Play. Jars with scan warnings, and jars that aren't from the Workshop, still ask.
• Check setup is its own window. Problems are sorted by how bad they are (Broken, Risk, Check, Low), each with a fix button next to it. One button fixes all the harmless ones, and It's fine hides one until the mod changes.
• Launch warnings come with fixes. Play tells you what's wrong and offers to fix it before the game starts, with far fewer false alarms.
• Build 41-only mods are marked Broken on Build 42 instead of silently not loading, with Turn off, Uninstall and Find a B42 version. Sorting no longer switches them back on.
• Project Viewpoint moves you to Build 42, and switching away puts your old build back.
• Rescan picks up mods Steam downloaded outside PZMM.
• Progress bars everywhere. The activity bar shows what's running, and opens into a full log you can filter.
• Download history lists every install, update, removal and subscription, with reinstall.
• Choose what the close button does. Minimise to tray or quit, with Don't ask again. You can change it in Settings.
• Faster start. A short splash while PZMM loads Steam data in the background, so the Workshop, server list and news are ready when you get there. Steam answers are cached for a few minutes, so browsing is quicker and hits Steam's rate limit less.
• What's new pops up once after an update (this is it).
