since extinguishers should be common to find, I give it a thumbs up. slow ass swing time and bad aiming though when used as a weapon...

twine is just a "finer rope" so to speak. the idea of fixing something that is not supposed to move with twine (or rope) just doesn´t make much sense when there´s material like ducttape around. I mean look at building rafts for example. sure they use rope in the movies and books, but I can guarantee you all that if they had duct tape like we do in PZ, they wouldnt even think about using rope...

nice

we have the ability to farm / harvest potatoes. why not being able to make moonshine ? the player needs a decent level of cooking (to understand the destilling process) plus a decent level in carpentry (to be able to construct the destilling aparatus) would work like a stove. gets ignited just like a campfire. needs fuel like a campfire input: 10 potatoes, empty mug, bucket of water output: mug of moonshine too much for me but I bet some of you are able to pull it off....

nice.

did it...

I did it !!!! thank you so much. feels great here´s the link to the pictures

I want the items to spawn, no giveaways at start and no I didnt not check the modloader I think will check that out thx

may I suggest that instead of using rope to build the lamp on a pillar, use duct tape instead ? I think it makes much more sense to use duct tape... especially considered players have to chose between repairing stuff with it OR building the light soruce instead... duct tape or bust !!

hi there, I just recently (this morning) added several items to the game. I followed this tutorial: http://pz-mods.net/guide/adding-custom-item-sprites/ http://pz-mods.net/guide/the-basics-of-adding-items-and-recipes/ and started new games in sandbox, with no zombies to test it out. alas, nothing. could it be that editing the existing items.txt and newitems.txt was totally wrong ? I copied all files and that way I basically have two installations of PZ so that I dont mess with the IWBMS built.... thx in advance

indeed. I started to work thorugh the link you provided and simply gave up:-) might be a bit too much for me . I think I might have to stick with new items and recipes for now. and maybe start to create a map thx mate

it would be this: new items: 1. walkmen (or cd player) can be used with batteries (so sam reload functionality as torches) 2. tapes (or CD´s) works as ammunition maybe ? allows to play music (maybe even call an outside app and lets you fire up winamp or some other media player??) so for each tape (or CD) you possess in your inventory, you can play music (or any audio) with a length of ...30min ? this would be real time of course... the item improves happiness, reduces stress but also decreases hearing (of course) what do you say ? can this be done ??

the lurking through code is actually the hardest part since I cannot code to save my life... but well.. I give it a try thx

Surely: - Item scripts - Custom UI / Menu entries - Custom Timed Actions Possibly: - New Animations - Possibly some stuff on the java side of the game ah thx. so is there a way to "read up" on that ? do you have a link of some sort ? thx in advance

what else is there to do in the future once fortified and barricaed ? reading (we have that) but what about sports (jumprope, weights, etc.) painting (palette, easel, paintbrushes) woodcarving I wondered what needs to be done to link new items (e.g. jumprope) to an activity (like "working out") that improves happiness, reduces stress / boredom while also increasing fatigue...?? can someone shed some light on that ? thx in advance

I find that havinbg crates in warehouses spawn different kinds of items ist kinda... unrealistic. I mean who mixes up farming seeds and shotgun shells ? so I think instead of having different items each with a chance to spawn per crate, why not change it so that each crate only spawns one type of item, but if it spawns it has more of one type. so you would easily find crates of tools cartes of duct tape crates of axes (yes, even they get shipped wholesale) worst case scenario would be that you have a warehouse full of crates that just spawns paint. but wouldnt that be so unrealistic ? so in order to make sure that you have all chances for all kinds of items, you have to visit the home improvement store the outdoor store / survivalist store gunstore etc etc etc in future maps this would mean more real commercial districts with all kinds of different stores so is this possibel and how could it be done ??? thx in advance

I integrated new items including recipes and icons... but I haven´t found them yet ingame. (I also edited the "suburbandistribution.lua" I changed only some spawn locations and have yet to visit them in my test-save. the new items are crate of chips (a card box full of chips bags) crate of ducttape crate of woodglue newspaper bundle 3 types of beer cans if all goes well and it worked out, I will keep adding items.

i have given up. I lack the patience. onec I started inserting items, I needed recipes, plus icons... and waht is not stored in boxes around warehouses ? basically EVERYTHING I foudn this: most are free for noncommercial use. would LOVE to see some of the stuff implemented http://www.iconarchive.com/

hm.I might give it a try. I read that including new items is not that hard.. and how hard can it be to copy&paste some script for an existing item and modify it ??

we find garbage bags... why not boxes of garbage bags (we buy them by the 20/50, right?) boxes of tissues... boxes of ducttape boxes of scotchtape boxes of matches... crates of chips(in storerooms of shops) crates of apples crates of lollies sixpack of pop sixpack of water bottles sixpack of... BEER beer works to improve happines (-5) but also increases drowsiness +3 and hunger +2

we have a whole trailer park (or even two) we have all sorts of gardening grills and sheds, so this should be readily available: propane bottles can be used to "power" those propane grills that are standing in some gardens... propane stoves, grills, etc. also, rainwater stored in barrels can get all kinds of nasty with some time. drinking it right away might be ok, but I think we can up the ante by introducing water purification equipment... pills, and filters work well. oh the most important: head torches. I am not a modder and can´t program to save my life..but maybe this interests someone

I would absolutely love that mod. it would need skills (engineering, electrical engineering) and the skillbooks for them tools (pliers, multimeter, ampimeter, LED´s) and materials (wires, rubber (for isolation) so tostart out you could build those lamp-posts and connect them to centrally stored batteries using wires and some isolation, maybe potato batteries to build reading lights wind powered generators, solar cells, battery rechargers, steampowered generators etc etc...

hm. nice base. BUT..gigamart ?? looking from the map I would assume you did A LOT of hauling logs. or somehow the logs got to gigamart by a different way

thx. it works greatz on a pc, but I also installed the linux server on my VPS, and there is no serversetting-exe (or script) does chaning the sandboxsettings.xml manually do the trick ? does anyone know ?

Hey Guys, I just installed a new server and wondered if it is at all posible to change configurations like loot rarity, zombie types etc ? I read that thouse features were planned for the 25 build but cannot find anything on the forum. thx in advance
