[B42] Sandbox Preset Saver

Description
🛠️Easily save your Sandbox settings with a single button!
🛠️This mod adds a Save Preset option to the Sandbox Options menu.

🛠️This is the first version of the mod, so it may cause problems — please use it with that in mind.


Sandbox Preset Saver

This mod adds a button at the top-left of the screen to save your Sandbox preset, which can be toggled on and off with a keybind.


💡 Usage:

⚠️If you want to use the Sandbox Preset Saver and you made changes in the Sandbox Options menu, exit your save and enter again before saving.
  1. Open the Sandbox Options menu.
  2. Click the Save Preset button.
  3. Enter a preset name and save it.
  4. Go to \Zomboid\Lua\Sandbox Presets\
  5. Move your preset file into \Zomboid\Sandbox Presets\.
  6. Your preset will now be available in-game.

⚠️ Important Notes:

If you changed the days of WaterShutModifier and ElecShutModifier when opening the Sandbox save, it will not work, and it will adjust the day according to what you selected in the WaterShutModifier and ElecShutModifier dropdowns. Keep that in mind.

Some options in the game's Sandbox Settings may be broken or not work correctly, so don't blame me :)

✔️ Only compatible with Build 42

The folder \Zomboid\Sandbox Presets is the game’s main Sandbox Presets folder. When you save a preset using the Sandbox Preset Saver mod, it first goes to \Zomboid\Lua\Sandbox Presets. You then need to move it to the main \Zomboid\Sandbox Presets folder for it to appear in the Sandbox Options preset menu.

To load the preset, you can either select the preset from the preset category when starting a new save, or use the Sandbox Options mod or open the Sandbox Options menu with -debug. So yes, this process is mainly for adjusting sandbox settings from within a save file in-game.

Let me explain from the beginning: If you saved changes made with the Sandbox Options mod, exited the save, and then used the Save Preset button to save your Sandbox preset, the preset file will be written to \Zomboid\ Lua \Sandbox Presets\ . You need to take it from that location and move it to \Zomboid\Sandbox Presets\ , and then your preset will appear in the Preset menu in Sandbox Options in-game.

I sincerely apologize for my ignorance, friend, but does the path "C:\Users\Users\Zomboid\Sandbox Presets" take me to a different place?

In other words, would it be for when I need to change some sandbox settings while manipulating them from within the game in a save file?
