The previous flat data/rules/ flattened a real distinction:
- data/rules/modpack/ mirrors of upstream modpack-author-bundled
sorting_rules.txt (HellDrinx). Update when
upstream publishes; don't unilaterally edit.
- data/rules/curated/ sortof-operator-authored rules for individual
mods whose authors didn't declare load order
in their mod.info (RV Interior Expansion).
The loader stays provenance-agnostic; trigger values in _RULES_TRIGGERS
are paths relative to data/rules/ ("modpack/helldrinx.txt" etc.).
File headers in each rules file declare the provenance category and
edit policy.
sortof
Project Zomboid mod load-order sorter for dedicated servers. Paste workshop
IDs or a collection URL; get back the WorkshopItems=, Mods=, and Map=
lines for servertest.ini.
Stack
- FastAPI + asyncpg, Python 3.12.
- Postgres 16 (Docker).
- DepotDownloader for fetching
mod.info/map.infofrom each cached workshop item. - Vanilla JSX + index.html, no build step (Babel-standalone in-browser).
Setup
docker compose up -d sortof_db
python3.12 -m venv api/.venv
api/.venv/bin/pip install -r api/requirements.txt
python3.12 -m venv worker/.venv
worker/.venv/bin/pip install -r worker/requirements.txt
.env next to docker-compose.yml:
POSTGRES_USER=sortof
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<random>
POSTGRES_DB=sortof
SORTOF_CORS_ORIGINS=http://127.0.0.1:8801
Set DD_PATH to the DepotDownloader binary, then:
api/.venv/bin/uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8801
worker/.venv/bin/python drain.py
Layout
api/ FastAPI service, sort engine, response adapters
worker/ drain worker (DepotDownloader + mod.info parser)
frontend/ index.html + JSX
init/ Postgres bootstrap migrations (run on first boot)
data/ checked-in JSON config (e.g., pz_versions.json)
