  1. Not sure if it's just me but I don't see those pictures.
  2. Hotfix 41.78.8 - November 16th: - Propane Torch usage rebalanced for Fixing and Repair scripts to accommodate the change in capacity; all reduced to 2. - Added "AllowRottenItem:true" parameter to the recipes to Empty Frying Pans; Griddle Pans; and Roasting Pans. This will allow players to reclaim said pans when they let Stir Fries and Omelettes get rotten. - Recipes such as the Mildew Spray Cure, and Emptying Sacks of produce now have the field "AllowRottenItem:true" which allows rotten items to be used in that recipe. - Fixed the Make Mildew Cure recipe not allowing both regular and Canned Milk; as players were unable to make this cure after all of the normal Milk has gone rotten. - Fixed being unable to use Rotten Milk to make the Mildew Spray Cure. - Commented out the "Make Pot of Soup" recipes; they're obsolete given the evolved recipe system which handles this matter better. - Fixed being unable to use Canned Soup to make evolved recipe soup. - Changed the display name of "Canned Soup" to "Canned Vegetable Soup".

    41.78 Released

    Oh I didn't make the connection it was related to GOG. Switch to the Unstable Beta if GOG Galaxy is an option for you. It has 41.78.7. Sending them an email in the meantime.

    41.78 Released

    It was updated yesterday already. Not sure why the offline installers are not available for Windows yet but I reckon it won't take too long. You can check through GOG Galaxy though. If it doesn't show up, try the Unstable beta channel as a workaround, I've just published it on that channel too as a possible workaround.

    Spiffo and Friends

    Hello survivors! Three things of note this week. FINAL BUILD 41 PATCH RELEASED This afternoon we put out 41.78 to the stable branch, and you can read its changelist here. Nothing seems to have exploded just yet, but there will very likely be a hot fix for anything that does crop up. We’ve had a few complaints of visual issues with some clothing that we’d thought we’d fixed for instance, that can probably get a quick look-over again before we move on. This patch is largely quality of life changes, some MP tweaks and fixes for longstanding annoyances – so hopefully you’ll see a few things in the changelist that make you feel both cherished and warm. Other than that hot fix, unless we return if circumstances demand it, the final devs who were tinkering in Build 41 will from this point on all be fully aboard the Build 42 train. BARNYARD FRIENDS First, let us reiterate – Build 42 is still a long way off. However RJ’s development playpen for the domestic animals that the build will feature is still ticking along quite nicely. This week he has prepared two videos for your delight but first TWO caveats. First, our animator Martin wants it known that one of the things we’ll be working on will be the way animals turn / turn when they move. Secondly, clearly what you’re seeing here is debug dev-stuff – especially how it looks and operates when leading an animal around on a rope. We haven’t quite landed on the best way to herd animals around yet, and will likely have to land at a halfway house between realistic, feasible and fun. Likewise, thirdly I guess, UIs clearly aren’t final yet either. So here’s proof that you can pet the cute little animals in Build 42 of Project Zomboid. And here’s how to coax them into a trailer so you can cart them off to slaughter them somewhere distant so their loud desperate squeals won’t attract zombies. MAGICAL WOODLAND FRIEND Yes, it’s happened. Spiffo merchandise is finally a thing. Behold! More information to come later on down the line. But for now… To register your interest in crowdfunding a Spiffo plushie visit the Makeship Store! The full campaign begins in less than a week! To find out how you could win one of two free plushies visit this twitter post! This week’s table arsenal from Polaris. A changelist of all our pre-release and post-release patches since the 41 beta began can be found here. The Centralized Block of Italicised Text would like to direct your attention to the PZ Wiki should you feel like editing or amending something, and the PZ Mailing List that can send you update notifications once builds get released. We also live on Twitter right here! Our Discord is open for chat and hijinks too. No-one is allowed to make a jar-based gag in the presence of our Spiffo plushie, please, as we had to google it and oh dear god no please no.
  8. All for it. Has to wait for Build 42 at this point, though.
  9. Hotfix 41.78.7 - November 9th: - DB Viewer userlog will now have the value in the amount field increased for repeated counts of suspicious activity. - znet is rebuilt for MacOS 10.12.6 - Fixed in-game map position of a shed in cell 35,32. - Fixed Lacerations and Stitches not becoming infected. Cover stitches with alcohol soaked bandages to avoid them from getting infected. This is likely going to be the build going out to the Stable branch tomorrow.
  10. Hotfix 41.78.16 - December 12th: Fixed ServerConnectPopup missing the new "Use Steam Relay" option, which led to the +connect argument not working. Hotfix 41.78.15 - December 5th: Fixed being able to still add a split-screen player when AllowCoop is disabled. Fixed seeing through walls sometimes after loading into a game. Fixed an error in ISZoneDisplay:getZoneTooltipText. Fixed players briefly appearing at 0,0 on the in-game map after joining a server. Fixed displaying players with name ??? on the in-game map. This happened when the client had not received the first full update with the player's name and other info Hotfix 41.78.13 - November 30th: Added AllowCoop server option to allow or disallow splitscreen clients. Added MaxTextureSize (default 256) and MaxVehicleTextureSize (default 512) options to the Display options menu. Each of these can be 256, 512, 1024 or 2048. Fixed the propane required for the metal wall upgrade system so that you are capable of making a Mk II metal wall without having to upgrade first. Fixed sleeping pills not being taken in account with the panic sleep exploit fix. Fixed some vehicle textures (such as for wheels) being limited to 256x256 instead of 512x512. Fixed reading ServerList.txt and ServerListSteam.txt with the default system encoding instead of UTF-8. Fixed being unable to slice or smash a rotten watermelon. Fixed an error in the farming menu that limited squares watered after the first to 50 water units maximum instead of 100. Fixed /additem command exception when run from the server console. Fixed redundant console output from ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua Fixed distant remote players not being displayed on the in-game map. Hotfix 41.78.12 - November 23rd: Propane Torch usage rebalanced for Fixing and Repair scripts to accommodate the change in capacity; all reduced to 2. Added "AllowRottenItem:true" parameter to the recipes to Empty Frying Pans; Griddle Pans; and Roasting Pans. This will allow players to reclaim said pans when they let Stir Fries and Omelettes get rotten. Recipes such as the Mildew Spray Cure, and Emptying Sacks of produce now have the field "AllowRottenItem:true" which allows rotten items to be used in that recipe. Fixed the Make Mildew Cure recipe not allowing both regular and Canned Milk; as players were unable to make this cure after all of the normal Milk has gone rotten. Fixed being unable to use Rotten Milk to make the Mildew Spray Cure. Commented out the "Make Pot of Soup" recipes; they're obsolete given the evolved recipe system which handles this matter better. Fixed being unable to use Canned Soup to make evolved recipe soup. Changed the display name of "Canned Soup" to "Canned Vegetable Soup". Note: To make Pots of Soup with Opened Cans of Soup you must now add them to a Pot of Water, as an evolved recipe soup. This fixes the Super Soup exploit and will allow players to also add additional ingredients to the Soup. The other way of making Pots of Soup was an obsolete and in many ways incompatible method from before the evolved recipe system. Updated the Clean Tray recipe so it works with trays of Biscuit Dough, and also so that it works with rotten and cooked ingredients, so players can always recover a tray from rotten trays of food. Several tweaks to clothing masks. Added missing SetMelee Delay on Pistol Whip animation. Fixed Hoodie and Vest masks to work properly with base mesh. Fixed JokeKnife, JokeArrow, BunnyEars, FurryEars, Antlers and GodStar Headbopper to work with all hairstyles. Fixed moodle and heart wiggle-speed, now reduced by half. Fixed an issue with forageSystem.lua not accounting for the new loot rarity settings. Fixed the veteran having some duplicate clothing selection options. Fixed in-game map road that was made curved in cell 35,31. Fixed print() statement from JoyPadSetup.lua that resulted in unnecessary messages in the console log. Fixed source files not being loaded in the Lua debugger on Linux. Fixed mod Lua files not being loaded in the Lua debugger. Fixed being able to purify Watering Cans in an Oven. Fixed being able to turn Cooked Eggs back into Uncooked Eggs. Fixed Pizzas having the hasMetal tag. Fixed error in SliceCooked test. Fixed PopEmpty2 and PopEmpty3 having DisplayCategory = WaterContainer instead of DisplayCategory = Junk. Fixed PopEmpty having DisplayCategory = Material instead of DisplayCategory = Junk. Fixed BeerCanEmpty having DisplayCategory = WaterContainer instead of Junk. Fixed Buckets not having been updated to use metal filling sounds instead of plastic filling sounds. Fixed distant players not appearing on the in-game map when the server option allows it. Fixed Male_Undies not having the "OBSOLETE = TRUE" parameter. Also removed them from the foraging pool. Fixed not using a language's desired encoding when reading credits.txt. Fixed non-admins seeing invisible remote players on the in-game map. NEW Added a prompt for the updated Terms of Service as we are a big boy game now and have to fit in with the other biggerer boys. Added sandbox option to disable Fake Dead Reanimation. Disabled Fake deads in MP by default. Added more control over fake dead behaviour to the sandbox options; having zombies that were "killed" having a chance to become fake dead is an option that is off by default. Added sandbox option that allows Corpse Maggot spawning to be disabled or limited to corpse inventory. Added sandbox option that allows poisoning food to be disabled, or for poisoning food with bleach to be disabled. Added sandbox option to disable the Tainted Water Tooltip/Warning for hardcore play Added sandbox option for enabling/disabling XP multipliers affecting passive skills, which is false by default. Added sandbox option that prevents survivor vehicles from spawning. Added sandbox option "Light Bulb Lifespan". This does not affect Light Bulbs in vehicles, only in light fixture tiles. Added "Randomize" options to Zombie sandbox options for Memory, Sight, and Hearing. Added loot rarity settings "Incredibly Rare" and "None", as well as a "Super Low" option for Fuel Pump content. Items from table stories/randomized stories/etc will still spawn when loot rarity is set to none. Renamed Item "Weight" to "Encumbrance" in the UI and context menu. Added an Accessibility Option that makes the player character automatically walk to a click container within a short radius of 3 tiles. Added the ability to set custom "Good" and "Bad" highlighting colours in the Accessibility Options menu. This is applied to things like traits, tooltips, and the aiming outline. Added an option to bind "Walk To" to a key instead of having to go through the RMB menu. Added highlighting to clicked Crates so it's easier to tell which crate is selected. This can be enabled or disabled in the in-game Options. Added a Context Menu entry that enables/disables Auto-Drink. Tiles that are being disassembled will now be highlighted in the "bad colour", red being the default. Resolutions higher than 1440p will have their zoom levels adjusted to allow closer zoom-in, bringing it more in line with lower resolutions. Disabled some Randomized Survivor Safehouses from occurring in instances where a building has over 10 rooms, or is a spawn location. The limit is 10 for some and 20 for other Randomized Survivor Safehouses. This also means the Toilet Paper story is now disabled in buildings that have over 10 rooms or are spawn locations, which will likely reduce the amount of Reddit posts about it by 50%. Added a check to prevent any of the randomized burnt building stories from occurring if the building is a spawn location. Changed ISCloseVehicleDoor to play the door closing sound when the action is completed instead of its start. This is to provide better feedback for players in cases where they have unwittingly cancelled this action. Added "HasMetal" tag for items. This tag was added to food and water items in metal containers, which will now set microwaves on fire when microwaved. Adjusted the mechanics UI so that both the Battery Charge and Condition are included in the Battery entry in the list of parts. Modified the vehicle mechanics UI to prominently feature the % of a full tank of gas it has, in addition to the battery charge. Added a few more existing clothing options to the character creation. Added the ability to destroy only one wall when selecting corner walls. Replaced the bucket world static model textures with metal icons and textures and not plastic ones, as buckets are now metal and not plastic. Updated the BucketEmpty and BucketWaterFull scripts with tooltips and IsCookable to reflect that they are now metal and not plastic. Changed the icon of the Watering Can With Water to match the Empty Water Can and the Watering Can models. Added a stale tooltip for perishable food to display, when appropriate, that such food is neither fresh nor rotten. Added tooltip to Club Hammers and Mallets explaining that they are unsuitable for driving nails. Flatpack model is applied to movable items that use the Flatpack icon. Made more food items capable of being added to tacos and burritos. Bell Pepper can now be added to Stews. Added a check so cooked eggs cannot be used for inappropriate non-evolved recipes. Removed the requirement for hot water to make a bowl of oats. Changed the Violet FoodType to NoExplicit. Trash tiles (Movable items) and Plastic Bags can now be used as tinder and fuel for fires. Changed the Sawed-off Shotgun recipes to only use the hacksaw, and not the garden saw; a wood saw would be unable to cut through the metal barrel of a shotgun. Added the Meat Cleaver to the Slice Onions recipe. Removed it from the Jack-o'-lantern recipe. Changed the Cigarettes script to prioritize using Matches before a Lighter if both are in the same inventory. Added a new Doctor's bag and military duffel bag. Renamed "Hemophobic" trait to "Fear of Blood". Vehicle Spawn Chance rate can now be a float value instead of just an int. Added a check to prevent items that "weigh" over 50 units from being put in vehicle seats. This is an ongoing issue with bags/containers that are modded over capacity, which get stuck once placed in vehicle seats when the bag + contents have an Encumbrance of >50. Changed translation strings to make bottle names more consistent. Changed IGUI_HouseKey from "House Key" to "Key" to avoid issues with non-residential keys. Removed the numeric information tooltip provided when selecting eat all/half/quarter food item context options. Commented out the tool definitions in ClothingRecipesDefinitions as they currently are nonfunctional and serve no purpose aside from confusing modders. Commented out the WoodenLance in the safehouse weapons distro lists; that item is redundant vs SpearCrafted, and also doesn't work with spear recipes. SpearCrafted already spawns with safehouse weapons. Replaced AmmoStraps in the safehouse armor distro list with AmmoStraps_Bullets and AmmoStraps_Shells. Changed the display name translation string for the wearable AmmoStraps items to Bandolier on account of consistent confusion with the weapon attachment that is also called Ammo Straps. Changed the display name translation string for firearm magazines to use the firearm it is for, and not the caliber, as the prefix. Solves having two .308 Magazines, for both the MSR788 and the M14, and also that's how they're named in real life. Added a tooltip to firearm magazines that displays the ammunition type that it accepts. Added missing models for Candy Corn, Candied Fruit Slices, Hot Sauce, Fountain Cups, JuJubes, Nettles, Shrimp Dumplings, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, Packaged Corn, Pickled Ginger, Sugar Cookies, Fish Sushi, Radio Receivers,Radio Transmitters, Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, and Tent Kits. MULTIPLAYER Added server option "KnockedDownAllowed" to enable/disable the PVP knockdown. This is a stopgap change to give servers an option to make PVP combat less frustrating before we can address PVP combat more directly in the future. Adjusted Type 3 and 5 Anticheat to reduce false-positives. Added auto-completion for player nicknames when pressing TAB while typing in the Chatbox. Added RCON command "checkModsNeedUpdate" to check for mods that need to be updated. Allow other non-admin permission levels to delete items in inventory/containers. Added Checksum logging for MP servers, enabled by default for now. Extended NetChecksum logs: Client dumps logs into checksum.txt. Client sends logs to server. Server dumps logs into checksum.txt. Server dumps client's logs into checksum- .txt. Multiplayer clients will now retry the GettingServerInfo request 3 times. DB Viewer userlog will now have the amount field increased for repeated counts of suspicious activity. When sorting the relative paths of scripts and Lua files to determine load order, the relative paths are first converted to lowercase. This is to fix platform differences breaking checksums in multiplayer. It also fixes the issue where the same file might be loaded more than once if mods use different capitalization for the same file or folder. Fixed the multiplayer "whisper" command corrupting the Lua environment due to multithreading. Fixed being unable to claim a safehouse unless standing on the ground floor. Fixed not checking upper floors for other players or zombies when claiming a safehouse. Fixed an exception on the server when food rots into a new item in a container that isn't in the world any longer. Fixed new stubble getting added to remote players after each appearance change. Fixed text annotations not appearing on annotated maps in multiplayer. Fixed Endurance sync in the Admin Health Tool. Fixed a bug that didn't display mods in the mod list of a server in the ESC menu. Fixed admins being unable to remove car hoods while inside the vehicle. Fixed players being unable to interact with Radios they placed themselves. Fixed a safehouse owner always respawning in their safehouse when the option to do so is unchecked. BALANCE Modified the M16 & M14 critical values to be more consistent with other rifles. M16 CriticalChance changed from 30 to 25. Added CritDmgMultiplier 10 Added AimingPerkCritModifier 12 M14 CriticalChance changed from 0 to 30. Added CritDmgMultiplier 10 AimingPerkCritModifier 15 Disabled the cumulative slowdown until the next shot when firing the M16 in automatic mode. Firing the M16 in automatic mode will cumulatively reduce the chance of a critical with each additional shot. This is intended to represent the loss in accuracy due to recoil. Short summary of the various changes in this changelog that impact the Propane Torch and Propane Tanks. There has been a pretty longstanding bug where Propane Torches were not used up for several Disassemblies. With the fix, usage of them was reduced from 100 to 10 but the number of refills per tank was adjusted from 2 to 16, along with changes that make sure players find more Propane Tanks in the world to offset the reduction. Set some traits to be mutually exclusive to remove exploits or illogical combinations. Hot-Wiring a vehicle will have a low chance of causing a car alarm. The chance for this is decreased further for higher electronics skill levels. Zombies pushing up against a previously unentered stationary vehicle have a chance to set off an alarm. Removed the undesired RNG check that made vehicle alarms go off only 20% of the time. Fixed car hoods being unable to trigger vehicle alarms. Disabled being able to make melee attacks while inside a vehicle with the window rolled down. Randomized the fall damage that zombies take. This randomized spread will average out to the previous damage before it was randomized; this will have a minor impact (hohoho) on the damage that zombies that fall suffer, but slightly more of them will be able to be killed by this than before. Made it so groin injuries from not-crawler zombies are less common, and that crawlers can also inflict uncommon groin injuries. Increased the yield of metal parts when scrapping wrecked vehicles by 33%. Added a new procedural container, "CratePropane", to garages and shed. Increased the spawn rates for Propane Tanks in the distributions. Increased the spawnrate of Thread and added the chance of Sewing Kits to spawn in gloveboxes. Trailer capacity now reduces slightly when damaged, as there was no point in repairing them before. Changed Bowling Ball Bag capacity from 2 to 8. Increase number of Plaster uses to 10, same as Paint. Allow plastic bags and money to be used as tinder Adjusted duration of the stationary Pistol Whip animation, it's now the same length as the shove animation. Adjusted the capacities of pistol and revolver cases from 7 down to 4. Adjusted Encumbrance of the sturdy stick item to 1 to be more consistent with other items. Adjusted Encumbrance of fire extinguishers to 2, to be consistent with other items. Decreased Encumbrance of Walkie-Talkies. Adjusted Encumbrance of the TreeBranch item to match that of a crafted spear, to 1.7 from 1; The Encumbrance discrepancy has been remarked upon repeatedly, and this also serves in making item Encumbrance more consistent. Adjusted the amount of fuel that spawns in fuel pumps at Low and Very Low. Updated the nutritional value for Canned Evaporated Milk. Calories 472; Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins at 23.6 Changed the days until rotten for Bagels from 2 to 6. Gave the Stir Fry and roast script items a default hunger value of 10. This was previously reported as a bug when players spawned the item in instead of making it via the evolved recipe. Maggots are slightly more poisonous. Fewer maggots spawn, especially in spring and fall (maggots don't spawn during winter). Maggots are now a default item in the world item removal lists. Added a comment for the world item removal lists explaining that Base.Maggots should stay in the list due to corpse maggots. Additional safeguard to prevent errors when using mods that remove maggots altogether. DEBUG / MODDING Added a search bar to the LootZed cheat panel. Added vehicle distributions to LootZed. Improved inventory check-in Check Stats panel. Right-clicking on a fuel pump in debug mode will display the amount of fuel in the pump in the right-click context menu. Added logging of player injuries caused by zombies to the console when in debug mode. Added isStartValid function check for BaseTimedAction. Allows checking if an action is valid before the action starts. Added saving ModData from IsoGameCharacter to IsoDeadBody and from IsoDeadBody to IsoZombie. Added "OnPlayerGetDamage" event. Added event "OnWeaponHitThumpable" (Args: character, weapon, object) Added a trigger for the OnFillContainer Event when vehicle part containers are filled. Added the tag "CarBattery" which can be used with mod item car batteries so they can be charged with the vanilla car battery charger. Added the event "OnThrowableExplode", which transmits the IsoTrap and IsoSquare when one detonates. Added a toggle option in the vehicle debug context menu that will show if a vehicle's alarm is enabled or disabled. Changed Fast Move cheat in debug. Players can now levitate on different height levels via the PageUP/PageDown keys, and move around via the Arrow Keys on the different height levels. Made ImageScale, SeatOffsetY and SeatOffsetX global and not local in ISVehicleSeatUI. "Missing translation", "ignoring invalid ItemPicker item type", and "VEHICLE MISSING CONT DISTRIBUTION" console messages will now only appear when using debug mode. Exposed the MediaData.MediaLineData class. When the Sound.WorldSound.Render debug option is enabled, world sounds are rendered according to the Hearing sandbox option. For Hearing=Random (where each zombie may have a different radius) sounds are rendered using the Hearing=Normal radius. This does not mean that their hearing radius is not randomized, it only means that a world sound radius cannot be rendered on a per zombie basis in debug mode. For Hearing=Pinpoint/Normal/Poor, meta-zombie hearing radius is handled properly. FileDifferent, FileNotOnServer, and FileNotOnClient errors will now display the absolute paths of both files. This should make it clearer that a mod might just have been using the wrong capitalization for a folder. Fixed characters in godmode still changing body weight. Fixed instances of the Cheat Menu not working after a player died. Fixed removing bodies via Horde manager not working in SP. Fixed being stuck in a vehicle after trying to uninstall/install a car part through the Mechanics Cheat, when a character was inside the vehicle. Fixed bug with health panel: Fully healing a body part now also removes its muscle fatigue. Fixed mod texture packs being loaded before Core.TileScale was set based on the double-sized-textures option. This would result in 2x texture packs being loaded instead of 1x texture packs. Fixed issues with the Tile picker: Fixed being unable to lock Doors placed via Tile Picker. Fixed Tree Tile issues. Fixed electronic tiles (TV, radio, generators, etc). Fixed Garage Doors. Fixed Street Light tiles. Fixed Search Bar issues. Fixed Light Switches. Fixed not showing all tiles. Fixed Fireplace objects. Fixed Wells and Lights. FIXES Fixed only being able to add Maple syrup to "PancakesRecipe" and not to "PancakesCraft" or "Pancakes". Fixed not being able to make 2 or 4 bowls of Rice or Pasta with a Saucepan anymore. Fixed lipstick not being appliable when player had Foundation Makeup in inventory Fixed Make-Up not being appliable when in a car. Fixes and changes to item categories. Fixed destroying a wall with a Lightswitch on it not destroying the Lightswitch too. Fixed making 2/4 bowls from a Saucepan returning a Cooking Pot. Fixed putting a hat on a Mohawk resetting hair growth timer. Fixed not being able to make a Molotov with an Empty Beer bottle. Fixed repeatedly building/disassembling some carpentry objects increasing the number of Planks sometimes. Fixed Sand/Gravel Bag wall behaviour when built at an angle. Fixed selected part of a garment in the "Inspect" UI being too faint. Fixed Shirts and other clothing items getting auto-removed from the world. Fixed unnecessary extra Muffin recipe. United the two existing Muffin recipes into one. Fixed being able to make Cake Batter using rotten ingredients below level 7. Fixed unused Zombie Decomposition sandbox option still being listed. Fixed NullPointerException in bThump animation variable when the object isn't loaded. Fixed being unable to click on open doors in an adjacent room. Fixed the starting house in "A Really CDDAy" challenge sometimes not being on fire. Fixed possible Lua error in MOBarricade.lua when a barricade sprite is on the east or south edge of a chunk. Fixed minor issues in ISZoneDisplay UI and text colours. Fixed Foraging icons rerolling when a search focus was selected. Fixed ISSearchManager check for valid zoneData when loading icons. Fixed not being able to rip Jeans/Leather Jackets when they're on the ground instead of the player inventory. Fixed disassembly of Favourited items. Fixed randomized crashed cars not having the correct car keys spawned for them. Fixed Mouse Trap related collision. Fixed sound issue when pressing W and S at the same time. Fixed sound issue when switching Seats while Cruise Control was enabled. Fixed Refill tool not updating the container visually. Fixed incorrectly named recipe for making Wooden Box Traps. Fixed several tile and cutaway issues. Fixed Lighters draining completely when used with a Molotov. When a Lighter is equipped it will no longer automatically become lit, instead it will do so only if activated using the flashlight keybind or radial menu, or using the inventory context menu option to activate them. Fixed evolved recipe error in scripts for Lemons and Lime. Fixed Machetes not losing condition when used to craft spears from branches/planks. Fixed Empty Beer Bottle using the wrong icons. Fixed the space before commas in evolved recipe item names. Fixed missing recipe for Opening Canned Fruit Beverage. Changed "Canned Condensed Milk" to "Canned Evaporated Milk" because people are really passionate about milk in can lore. Fixed melted ice cream not rotting. Fixed house keys spawning with a long string of numbers in their display name. Fixed climb sheet rope speed. Fixed water collision bug when placing Stairs on water. Fixed missing textures for Flatpack model. Fixed ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doEvorecipeMenu error. Fixed the on-screen keyboard returning asterisks instead of the actual text when entering passwords. Fixed microwaves not stopping the StoveTimer sound when turned off. Fixed missing context menu translation string for "Item Water Capacity". Fixed missing movables translation strings for Oak Bars. Fixed missing translation string for foodtype cocoa. Fixed wrong tooltip for Onion Slices. Fixed pies and cakes being able to be sliced when uncooked. Fixed frozen ice cream cones causing boredom and unhappiness; added the "GoodFrozen" tag for such items that should still be enjoyable when frozen. Fixed characters not limping when they had their groin bitten. Fixed being able to fill a square over its capacity by using the Place Item interface. Fixed cooking rotten eggs producing fresh boiled eggs; now if food is rotten and has a "replace on cooked" value, it will not be replaced but will still be cooked, i.e. you will get a cooked rotten egg when you cook a rotten egg. Fixed Propane Torch not being used for disassembling objects. Fixed Walking and sprinting not burning more calories than standing still.

Fixed an issue where the interaction between the two different separate zombie population sandbox settings was inconsistent between singleplayer and multiplayer sandbox setting interfaces. Fixed equipping "Bandana (face)" placing the bandana on the head. Fixed not being able to get a key ring. Some zombies will now have their house or vehicle key in a key ring, and key rings can also sometimes be found in store displays with watches. Fixed that it was impossible for a randomized name to be "Pat Bren". Fixed adding poisonous berries or mushrooms to an evolved recipe did not make the product poisonous. Fixed missing icon for Scrambled Eggs. Fixed currently nonfunctional bayonet and gunlight items not being commented out in the distribution files. Fixed missing models/textures for Fountain Cups, Recipe Pizza and Recipe Bread. Fixed missing "Obsolete" parameter to BakingTrayBread as it's an unused test item without a model. Fixed missing checks to prevent buildings with inappropriate randomized dead survivor stories from being alarmed. Fixed being able to use the place item option to place infinite items in a floor square. Fixed cut and paste error in the unused function HandWeapon.getToHitMod. Fixed an exploit where players, especially ones with desensitized, were able to sleep immediately after breaking LOS with zombies. Fixed a couple of inconsistencies between the default MP settings and the Apocalypse setting on account of the loot setting changes. Fixed CannedMilk not having the parameter CannedFood = TRUE. Fixed only pouring 50 units when selecting the option to put 100 units of water into a farming plot. Fixed an issue with the vehicle alarm debug tool, BaseVehicle.setAlarmed also needed to set previouslyEntered to false for the vehicle when enabling an alarm. Fixed car horns continuing when switching seats while honking. Fixed being able to hold down keys while AFKing to grind nimble; now a check is made to ensure that the character has actually moved before awarding XP. Fixed error with broken glass script name in distro files. Fixed hazmat suit missing blood locations. Fixed being able to put uncooked bacon into tacos and burritos. Fixed Pink Hair Dye not being in the distribution lists. Fixed not being able to put Black Beans into a salad. Fixed Strength XP levels causing slower Sheet Rope climbing at certain levels, especially at level 10. Fixed bugged interaction with building metal objects and the Propane Torch. Fixed not being able to disassemble car wrecks due to a missing Propane Torch, even though it was in inventory. This needs Balance feedback since the usage per Torch was also changed. Fixed interaction when pressing shift+e near passenger seat to move to the drivers seat. Fixed ISBuryCorpse action validity check.

  13. Good day, ragged survivors! If you’re a connoisseur of the wonderful world of community maps, you’ve probably already come across Throttlekitty’s Tiles mod, which many of the maps use. The mod adds dozens of new tiles to let mappers’ imaginations run free – and for players to use to decorate their bases. Throttlekitty’s tiles tend towards the believably mundane: fire extinguisher holders for walls, oil and gas tanks, dumpsters, coffee and sewing machines, fuseboxes, bench grinders and vices, along with some Fallout-style walls made from junked cars. Not only has Throttlekitty made all these tiles, but they also are very active on our official Discord, helping new and experienced mappers and modders to make the creation of their dreams, and you may have seen them thanked by some of our previous mod blog interviewees. We wanted to find our more about Throttlekitty, so we scrambled our way through a building filled with new and interesting objects, and managed to find a bloodstained notebook featuring an interview with the famous tiler themselves! Take it away, TK… Throttlekitty Who are you in real life? Tell us a little about yourself. “My name is Joel, and I work at a small indie studio making games, primarily doing rigging and some character art. I’m a long-time gamer and occasional modder as well. I’m at my happiest when I can put on some noisy music and just make things. I have a recent obsession with using AI to create images, very exciting times in that regard!” How did you first discover Project Zomboid? Why do you like it? “I remember passing on the game a couple times, but I’m very glad I did eventually give it a go, though I really don’t remember when, it was many years ago now! I love everything zombie-related, and Project Zomboid hits a lot of the marks: just the right mixture of grit, desolation, panic and hope. I think what I appreciate most is how detailed the games systems can be, without feeling overbearingly tedious, or like you’re playing off a predetermined checklist of things to do.” Tell us about your tileset. How many individual tiles are there? Can you talk us through your process of making a single tile? What references, if any, do you use when making your tiles? “I think I’m at a little over 100 assets released right now, not counting variations and overlays. I didn’t think it was so many already, and there’s still never enough! I built up a good workflow using Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop to make my tiles; I try to do as much as I can in 3D to keep things simple for myself. To match the game style, I keep the models and textures from being overly detailed, and I use a toon shader to pick my colors in a way that I would when doing traditional pixel art. I constantly do renders while I work, to make sure that what I’m working on is on-target for the game.” “On the 2D side in Photoshop, I’ll add hand painted details, dabbing in additional grunge or highlights, along with some basic compositing and color corrections before setting the final tilesheet layout for use in the game. As for reference, I’m usually making something based on the real world, so I’ll pull up images of what I want to make, and use those as a guideline. I find avoiding 1:1 copies a lot more fun anyway, and working in the confines of smallish pixel art makes the whole process a good challenge overall.” How did you get into making tiles for PZ? Have you made artwork for other games before? Do you have any training in art/drawing etc.? “I’ve been an artist my whole life, so doing graphics mods is something I always gravitate to. No particular training, a person’s growth in art is a very fluid ongoing process, I think! I’ve done similar mods for other games in the past, I did a fair bit of it in Oblivion way back. Sometimes I’ll get the itch and make little personal projects for myself too.” You’re known for your helpfulness towards other mappers. Can you tell us about some of the mappers/modders you’ve aided, and the projects you’ve helped with? “It’s hard to keep count! I tend to be a very technical person, I like to dig deep into how things work. I know that not everyone wants to spend their time that way, so I’m always glad to pass along interesting tidbits that I’ve found along the way on Discord or wherever. Plus it’s always great when someone else is trying to push the limits a little further, brainstorming is fun! Other people are doing the same too, communities are great for that. I generally stay away from jumping into others’ projects, I’ve a pretty full plate most of the time.” Your tiles have that unique “PZ” look. Is that hard to achieve? “Thanks, and it did take some work to get my tiles matching Mash’s style, seeing as how they come from 3D, and not pure 2D. I mentioned using a toon shader before. With my scene lights set up a particular way and with simple modeling techniques, I found that I was able to match the shades and palette quite nicely. A big benefit is that I get all the facing directions for free, and it can be easier to make more complex assets that would be difficult in traditional 2D.” Your tiles are very varied, from new walls and containers to piping and industrial equipment. Is there a specific type of tile you enjoy making the most? “I think I like working on pieces that say ‘I’m going to look awesome in your base, please loot me’ the best, and I should make more of those! I’ve made most of the industrial kits to help fill out those types of spaces.” Is there anyone in the PZ community (or beyond) you would like to give a shout-out to? Which mods or maps (or tilesets!) by other users do you enjoy or find interesting? “Oh jeez, practically everyone is making all great maps lately, it’s hard to keep up! Special shout-out to Daddy Dirkiedirk, Dylan, and Commander, always inspirational!” What’s next in your tiling plans? What’s the dream? “My Big Plan is making an absurdly large map for Zomboid! I jump back and forth between that and making new tiles. I wanted ways to make the locations look more interesting, and eventually more unique. One problem about big open world games is that there’s never ever enough art assets, so any way I can push that further helps.” Thanks to Throttlekitty for answering our questions! You can find their tileset here.
  14. This is a known current limitation and has been true for basically the entirety of Build 41. With Build 41's goodbye-patch, the priority was shortening the stationary animation due to this limitation, to not delay it any further, so we can move the whole team to 42. It will be addressed in the future.
  15. 41.78.4 - November 4th: - Added a display option to enable the new outline around highlighted containers. - Changed ISCloseVehicleDoor to play the door closing sound when the action is completed instead of its start. This is to provide better feedback for players in cases where they have unwittingly cancelled this action. - Increased the spawnrate of Thread and added the chance of Sewing Kits to spawn in gloveboxes. - Adjusted duration of the stationary Pistol Whip animation, it's now the same length as the shove animation. - Added Checksum logging for MP servers, enabled by default for now. - NetChecksum logs are extended: Client dumps logs into checksum.txt. Client sends logs to server. Server dumps logs into checksum.txt. Server dumps client's logs into checksum-.txt. - When sorting the relative paths of scripts and Lua files to determine load order, the relative paths are first converted to lowercase. This is to fix platform differences breaking checksums in multiplayer. It also fixes the issue where the same file might be loaded more than once if mods use different capitalization for the same file or folder. - When the Sound.WorldSound.Render debug option is enabled, world sounds are rendered according to the Hearing sandbox option. For Hearing=Random (where each zombie may have a different radius) sounds are rendered using the Hearing=Normal radius. This does not mean that their hearing radius is not randomized, it only means that a world sound radius cannot be rendered on a per zombie basis in debug mode. For Hearing=Pinpoint/Normal/Poor, meta-zombie hearing radius is rendered accordingly. - Commented out the GunLight and Bayonnet entries in the foraging definitions; they're currently non-functional and confuse players, and were commented out of the loot spawn tables. - Exposed the MediaData.MediaLineData class. - Fixed players being unable to fire guns from inside vehicles under some circumstances. - Fixed firearm damage being affected by the distance to the target. - Fixed the infinite timed-action progress bar being displayed for actions that set useProgressBar=false. - Fixed recently introduced bug that caused sounds to attract zombies from too far away. - Fixed WorldSoundManager.getSoundAttract() not using IsoZombie.hearing. - Fixed masking problems with Hoodie and Poncho being worn together. - Fixed transparency issue with trouser texture. - Fixed the rate of moodle and the heart (health panel) icon wiggling not handling ui offscreen rendering and uncapped framerate.
  16. Hola, zomberinos. Short-ish blog this week, but some fun info-nuggets none-the-less. FINAL 41 PATCH We released 41.78 to Unstable last week, and released a fix-up patch yesterday. There’ll probably be another update to it before we consider it safe for a full stable release, but there hasn’t been too much to mop up this time around – so our thanks to Blair who was the chief coder on this release. One thing it might be nice to get in before we wrap 41 and the long wait till 42 begins, are the products of our investigations into ways to make it clearer to modders and users alike where errors in their mod setup lies – when it comes to different capitalisations in folder paths and different file orders between server and clients. These often result in error messages that are confusing and/or unclear, making things hard to troubleshoot for modders and our support team. It’d be nice to bring about some clarity before we leave 41 for pastures new – so that’s the main thing we’re waiting on now. WORK ON 42 Slightly technical details from the land of 42, but something that Blair has also been moving onto is working on the architecture of our recipes system – to make it more foolproof and effective for both us and modders. We are streamlining our evolved recipes – using ‘templates’ similar to the tags we use for individual items. This will make it more straightforward and simple for both us and the modding community to add in new evolved recipes and food items. The system ‘as is’ in Build 41 has a sizable amount of ‘clunk debt’ associated with it – that gets compounded by the number of food items we have in the game. The way we are restructuring things strips out some of the complexity, and lets us add new stuff easily – while simultaneously managing our existing recipes and foodstuffs. Next up, we also have more ideas about further streamlining this using item tags to offload a lot of the recipe ingredient stuff to tags and templates. We’ve also got the roots in place of an Evolved Recipe name system that will notice you putting ham and pineapple on a pizza – and call it a Hawaiian Pizza. Or name a sandwich a BLT if you’ve added bacon, lettuce and tomato. On top of this there’s a lot of wash and brush up of existing features. There’s a lot of big name gameplay stuff going into B42, but when it eventually rolls around we want to underline that there’ll be a bunch of more iterative improvements on existing PZ too. For example, right now we’re working on making the randomized profession house stuff more cool and obvious- right now you probably aren’t aware when you’re in a carpenter’s or an electrician’s home as there aren’t enough indicators. We’ve got stuff going in to make it clearer and more thematic. Likewise we’re improving the procedural loot system to make loot and looting more interesting in of itself. There are also new ‘zed story’ events to come across where costumed zombies will tell a story – gun store sieges, hillbilly hoedowns, kids party raves in the forests, a variety of campsites to come across etc. Oh, and we’ll be widening the melee weapons pool a bit also. They’re not in-game yet, and no SFX for them yet either, but here’s a quick look at some of what’ll be on offer. This week’s prison visit from Abby. A changelist of all our pre-release and post-release patches since the 41 beta began can be found here. The Centralized Block of Italicised Text would like to direct your attention to the PZ Wiki should you feel like editing or amending something, and the PZ Mailing List that can send you update notifications once builds get released. We also live on Twitter right here! Our Discord is open for chat and hijinks too.
  17. That's odd indeed but it only seems to be the render that's wrong, not the actual world sound. Zombies will not react to a shout before you're within the determined distance, irrespective of what the worldsound render shows the shout to be. Will be looked into but not priority as long as it only seems to affect the render showing the wrong distance, as opposed to it actually being the wrong distance.
  18. 41.78.3: - Further reduced the chance of zombies to injure the groin. - Changed back container max capacity display to the adjusted value when Organized/Disorganized traits are used. The previous change ended up being more confusing than what it was aiming to fix. - Added logging of player injuries caused by zombies to the console when in debug mode. - FileDifferent, FileNotOnServer, and FileNotOnClient errors will now display the absolute paths of both files. This should make it clearer that a mod might just have been using the wrong capitalization for a folder. - Fixed incorrect pathing for masks on some clothing items which should fix clipping issues. - Fixed spamming the 'manual floor attack' and 'shove' keys while aiming resulting in firing empty firearms and shoving distant zombies. - Fixed not-crawler zombies sometimes injuring the feet or legs. - Fixed assorted errors in food items' EvolvedRecipe parameters. - Fixed error with randomized zombie senses. - Fixed the Disable Bleach Poisoning setting in multiplayer causing issues when adding food to Evolved Recipes. - Fixed sawing off a Double Barrel Shotgun not changing its weight. - Fixed not being able to host locally with a nonsteam server. - Fixed zombie hearing radius being too large. - Fixed being unable to rip Varsity Jackets.
  19. Hotfix 41.78.14 - December 5th: - Fixed being able to still add a split-screen player when AllowCoop is disabled. - Fixed seeing through walls sometimes after loading into a game. - Fixed an error in ISZoneDisplay:getZoneTooltipText. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.13 - November 29th: - Added AllowCoop server option to allow or disallow splitscreen clients. - Added MaxTextureSize (default 256) and MaxVehicleTextureSize (default 512) options to the Display options menu. Each of these can be 256, 512, 1024 or 2048. - Fixed the propane required for the metal wall upgrade system so that you are capable of making a Mk II metal wall without having to upgrade first. - Fixed sleeping pills not being taken in account with the panic sleep exploit fix. - Fixed some vehicle textures (such as for wheels) being limited to 256x256 instead of 512x512. - Fixed reading ServerList.txt and ServerListSteam.txt with the default system encoding instead of UTF-8. - Fixed being unable to slice or smash a rotten watermelon. - Fixed an error in the farming menu that limited squares watered after the first to 50 water units maximum instead of 100. - Fixed /additem command exception when run from the server console. - Fixed redundant console output from ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua - Fixed distant remote players not being displayed on the in-game map. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.10 - November 21st: - Fixed being able to purify Watering Cans in a Microwave or Oven. - Fixed being able to turn Cooked Eggs back into Uncooked Eggs. - Fixed Pizzas having the hasMetal tag. - Fixed error in SliceCooked test. - Fixed distant players not appearing on the in-game map when the server option allows it. - Fixed Male_Undies not having the "OBSOLETE = TRUE" parameter. Also removed them from the foraging pool. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.9 - November 17th: - Several tweaks to clothing masks. - Updated the Clean Tray recipe so it works with trays of Biscuit Dough, and also so that it works with rotten and cooked ingredients, so players can always recover a tray from rotten trays of food. - Fixed "Pour on Ground" Shortbread Cookies recipe, replaced it with a recipe to Empty Baking Trays. - Fixed possible Lua error with setUseSteamRelay(nil) calls in the server browser. - Fixed being unable to slice Cakes or Pies. - Fixed being unable to put evolved recipe Rice and Pasta into Bowls. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.8 - November 16th: - Propane Torch usage rebalanced for Fixing and Repair scripts to accommodate the change in capacity; all reduced to 2. - Added "AllowRottenItem:true" parameter to the recipes to Empty Frying Pans; Griddle Pans; and Roasting Pans. This will allow players to reclaim said pans when they let Stir Fries and Omelettes get rotten. - Recipes such as the Mildew Spray Cure, and Emptying Sacks of produce now have the field "AllowRottenItem:true" which allows rotten items to be used in that recipe. - Fixed the Make Mildew Cure recipe not allowing both regular and Canned Milk; as players were unable to make this cure after all of the normal Milk has gone rotten. - Fixed being unable to use Rotten Milk to make the Mildew Spray Cure. - Commented out the "Make Pot of Soup" recipes; they're obsolete given the evolved recipe system which handles this matter better. - Fixed being unable to use Canned Soup to make evolved recipe soup. - Changed the display name of "Canned Soup" to "Canned Vegetable Soup". Note: To make Pots of Soup with Opened Cans of Soup you must now add them to a pot of water, as an evolved recipe soup. This fixes the Super Soup exploit and will allow players to also add additional ingredients to the Soup. The other way of making Pots of Soup was an obsolete and in many ways incompatible method from before the evolved recipe system. - Added missing SetMelee Delay on Pistol Whip animation. - Fixed Hoodie and Vest masks to work properly with base mesh. - Fixed JokeKnife, JokeArrow, BunnyEars, FurryEars, Antlers and GodStar Headbopper to work with all hairstyles. - Fixed moodle and heart wiggle-speed, now reduced by half. - Fixed an issue with forageSystem.lua not accounting for the new loot rarity settings. - Fixed the veteran having some duplicate clothing selection options. - Fixed in-game map road that was made curved in cell 35,31. - Fixed print() statement from JoyPadSetup.lua that resulted in unnecessary messages in the console log. - Fixed source files not being loaded in the Lua debugger on Linux. - Fixed mod Lua files not being loaded in the Lua debugger. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.7 - November 9th: - DB Viewer userlog will now have the value in the amount field increased for repeated counts of suspicious activity. - znet is rebuilt for MacOS 10.12.6 - Fixed in-game map position of a shed in cell 35,32. - Fixed Lacerations and Stitches not becoming infected.

It also fixes the issue where the same file might be loaded more than once if mods use different capitalization for the same file or folder. - When the Sound.WorldSound.Render debug option is enabled, world sounds are rendered according to the Hearing sandbox option. For Hearing=Random (where each zombie may have a different radius) sounds are rendered using the Hearing=Normal radius. This does not mean that their hearing radius is not randomized, it only means that a world sound radius cannot be rendered on a per zombie basis in debug mode. For Hearing=Pinpoint/Normal/Poor, meta-zombie hearing radius is rendered accordingly. - Commented out the GunLight and Bayonnet entries in the foraging definitions; they're currently non-functional and confuse players, and were commented out of the loot spawn tables. - Exposed the MediaData.MediaLineData class. - Fixed players being unable to fire guns from inside vehicles under some circumstances. - Fixed firearm damage being affected by the distance to the target. - Fixed the infinite timed-action progress bar being displayed for actions that set useProgressBar=false. - Fixed recently introduced bug that caused sounds to attract zombies from too far away. - Fixed WorldSoundManager.getSoundAttract() not using IsoZombie.hearing. - Fixed masking problems with Hoodie and Poncho being worn together. - Fixed transparency issue with trouser texture. - Fixed the rate of moodle and the heart (health panel) icon wiggling not handling ui offscreen rendering and uncapped framerate. ____________ Hotfix 41.78.3 - October 26th: - Further reduced the chance of zombies to injure the groin. - Changed back container max capacity display to the adjusted value when Organized/Disorganized traits are used. The previous change ended up being more confusing than what it was aiming to fix. - Added logging of player injuries caused by zombies to the console when in debug mode. - FileDifferent, FileNotOnServer, and FileNotOnClient errors will now display the absolute paths of both files.

Disabled Fake deads in MP by default. - Added more control over fake dead behaviour to the sandbox options; having zombies that were "killed" having a chance to become fake dead is an option that is off by default. - Added sandbox option that allows Corpse Maggot spawning to be disabled or limited to corpse inventory. - Added sandbox option that allows poisoning food to be disabled, or for poisoning food with bleach to be disabled. - Added sandbox option to disable the Tainted Water Tooltip/Warning for hardcore play - Added sandbox option for enabling/disabling XP multipliers affecting passive skills, which is false by default. - Added sandbox option that prevents survivor vehicles from spawning. - Added sandbox option "Light Bulb Lifespan". This does not affect Light Bulbs in vehicles, only in light fixture tiles. - Added "Randomize" options to Zombie sandbox options for Memory, Sight, and Hearing. - Added loot rarity settings "Incredibly Rare" and "None", as well as a "Super Low" option for Fuel Pump content. - Items from table stories/randomized stories/etc will still spawn when loot rarity is set to none. - Renamed Item "Weight" to "Encumbrance" in the UI and context menu. - Added an Accessibility Option that makes the player character automatically walk to a click container within a short radius of 3 tiles. - Added the ability to set custom "Good" and "Bad" highlighting colours in the Accessibility Options menu. This is applied to things like traits, tooltips, and the aiming outline. - Added an option to bind "Walk To" to a key instead of having to go through the RMB menu. - Added highlighting to clicked Crates so it's easier to tell which crate is selected. - Added a Context Menu entry that enables/disables Auto-Drink. - Tiles that are being disassembled will now be highlighted in the "bad colour", red being the default. - Resolutions higher than 1440p will have their zoom levels adjusted to allow closer zoom-in, bringing it more in line with lower resolutions. - Disabled some Randomized Survivor Safehouses from occurring in instances where a building has over 10 rooms, or is a spawn location. The limit is 10 for some and 20 for other Randomized Survivor Safehouses. This also means the Toilet Paper story is now disabled in buildings that have over 10 rooms or are spawn locations, which will likely reduce the amount of Reddit posts about it by 50%. - Added a check to prevent any of the randomized burnt building stories from occurring if the building is a spawn location. - Added "HasMetal" tag for items. This tag was added to food and water items in metal containers, which will now set microwaves on fire when microwaved. - Adjusted the mechanics UI so that both the Battery Charge and Condition are included in the Battery entry in the list of parts. - Modified the vehicle mechanics UI to prominently feature the % of a full tank of gas it has, in addition to the battery charge. - Added a few more existing clothing options to the character creation. - Added the ability to destroy only one wall when selecting corner walls. - Replaced the bucket world static model textures with metal icons and textures and not plastic ones, as buckets are now metal and not plastic. - Updated the BucketEmpty and BucketWaterFull scripts with tooltips and IsCookable to reflect that they are now metal and not plastic. - Changed the icon of the Watering Can With Water to match the Empty Water Can and the Watering Can models. - Added a stale tooltip for perishable food to display, when appropriate, that such food is neither fresh nor rotten. - Added tooltip to Club Hammers and Mallets explaining that they are unsuitable for driving nails. - Flatpack model is applied to movable items that use the Flatpack icon. - Made more food items capable of being added to tacos and burritos. - Bell Pepper can now be added to Stews. - Added a check so cooked eggs cannot be used for inappropriate non-evolved recipes. - Removed the requirement for hot water to make a bowl of oats. - Changed the Violet FoodType to NoExplicit. - Trash tiles (Movable items) and Plastic Bags can now be used as tinder and fuel for fires. - Changed the Sawed-off Shotgun recipes to only use the hacksaw, and not the garden saw; a wood saw would be unable to cut through the metal barrel of a shotgun. - Added the Meat Cleaver to the Slice Onions recipe. Removed it from the Jack-o'-lantern recipe. - Changed the Cigarettes script to prioritize using Matches before a Lighter if both are in the same inventory. - Added a new Doctor's bag and military duffel bag. - Renamed "Hemophobic" trait to "Fear of Blood". - Vehicle Spawn Chance rate can now be a float value instead of just an int. - Added a check to prevent items that "weigh" over 50 units from being put in vehicle seats. This is an ongoing issue with bags/containers that are modded over capacity, which get stuck once placed in vehicle seats when the bag + contents have an Encumbrance of >50. - Changed translation strings to make bottle names more consistent. - Changed IGUI_HouseKey from "House Key" to "Key" to avoid issues with non-residential keys. - Removed the numeric information tooltip provided when selecting eat all/half/quarter food item context options. - Commented out the tool definitions in ClothingRecipesDefinitions as they currently are nonfunctional and serve no purpose aside from confusing modders. - Commented out the WoodenLance in the safehouse weapons distro lists; that item is redundant vs SpearCrafted, and also doesn't work with spear recipes. SpearCrafted already spawns with safehouse weapons. - Replaced AmmoStraps in the safehouse armor distro list with AmmoStraps_Bullets and AmmoStraps_Shells. - Changed the display name translation string for the wearable AmmoStraps items to Bandolier on account of consistent confusion with the weapon attachment that is also called Ammo Straps. - Changed the display name translation string for firearm magazines to use the firearm it is for, and not the caliber, as the prefix. Solves having two .308 Magazines, for both the MSR788 and the M14, and also that's how they're named in real life. - Added a tooltip to firearm magazines that displays the ammunition type that it accepts. - Added missing models for Candy Corn, Candied Fruit Slices, Hot Sauce, Fountain Cups, JuJubes, Nettles, Shrimp Dumplings, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, Packaged Corn, Pickled Ginger, Sugar Cookies, Fish Sushi, Radio Receivers,Radio Transmitters, Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, and Tent Kits. MULTIPLAYER - Added server option "KnockedDownAllowed" to enable/disable the PVP knockdown. This is a stopgap change to give servers an option to make PVP combat less frustrating before we can address PVP combat more directly in the future. - Added auto-completion for player nicknames when pressing TAB while typing in the Chatbox. - Added RCON command "checkModsNeedUpdate" to check for mods that need to be updated. - Allow other non-admin permission levels to delete items in inventory/containers. - Fixed the multiplayer "whisper" command corrupting the Lua environment due to multithreading. - Fixed being unable to claim a safehouse unless standing on the ground floor. - Fixed not checking upper floors for other players or zombies when claiming a safehouse. - Fixed an exception on the server when food rots into a new item in a container that isn't in the world any longer. - Fixed new stubble getting added to remote players after each appearance change. - Fixed text annotations not appearing on annotated maps in multiplayer. - Fixed Endurance sync in the Admin Health Tool. - Fixed a bug that didn't display mods in the mod list of a server in the ESC menu. - Fixed admins being unable to remove car hoods while inside the vehicle. - Fixed players being unable to interact with Radios they placed themselves. - Fixed a safehouse owner always respawning in their safehouse when the option to do so is unchecked. BALANCE - Modified the M16 & M14 critical values to be more consistent with other rifles. - M16 CriticalChance changed from 30 to 25. - Added CritDmgMultiplier 10 - Added AimingPerkCritModifier 12 - M14 CriticalChance changed from 0 to 30. - Added CritDmgMultiplier 10 - AimingPerkCritModifier 15 - Disabled the cumulative slowdown until the next shot when firing the M16 in automatic mode. Firing the M16 in automatic mode will cumulatively reduce the chance of a critical with each additional shot. This is intended to represent the loss in accuracy due to recoil. - Set some traits to be mutually exclusive to remove exploits or illogical combinations. - Hot-Wiring a vehicle will have a low chance of causing a car alarm. The chance for this is decreased further for higher electronics skill levels. - Zombies pushing up against a previously unentered stationary vehicle have a chance to set off an alarm. - Removed the undesired RNG check that made vehicle alarms go off only 20% of the time. - Fixed car hoods being unable to trigger vehicle alarms. - Disabled being able to make melee attacks while inside a vehicle with the window rolled down. - Randomized the fall damage that zombies take. This randomized spread will average out to the previous damage before it was randomized; this will have a minor impact (hohoho) on the damage that zombies that fall suffer, but slightly more of them will be able to be killed by this than before. - Made it so groin injuries from not-crawler zombies are less common, and that crawlers can also inflict uncommon groin injuries. - Increased the yield of metal parts when scrapping wrecked vehicles by 33%. - Added a new procedural container, "CratePropane", to garages and shed. - Increased the spawn rates for Propane Tanks in the distributions. - Trailer capacity now reduces slightly when damaged, as there was no point in repairing them before. - Changed Bowling Ball Bag capacity from 2 to 8. - Increase number of Plaster uses to 10, same as Paint. - Allow plastic bags and money to be used as tinder - Adjusted the capacities of pistol and revolver cases from 7 down to 4. - Adjusted Encumbrance of the sturdy stick item to 1 to be more consistent with other items. - Adjusted Encumbrance of fire extinguishers to 2, to be consistent with other items. - Decreased Encumbrance of Walkie-Talkies. - Adjusted Encumbrance of the TreeBranch item to match that of a crafted spear, to 1.7 from 1; The Encumbrance discrepancy has been remarked upon repeatedly, and this also serves in making item Encumbrance more consistent. - Adjusted the amount of fuel that spawns in fuel pumps at Low and Very Low. - Updated the nutritional value for Canned Evaporated Milk. Calories 472; Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins at 23.6 - Changed the days until rotten for Bagels from 2 to 6. - Gave the Stir Fry and roast script items a default hunger value of 10. This was previously reported as a bug when players spawned the item in instead of making it via the evolved recipe. - Maggots are slightly more poisonous. - Fewer maggots spawn, especially in spring and fall (maggots don't spawn during winter). - Maggots are now a default item in the world item removal lists.

    Flame On

    Evening all. NOW We released 41.77 into the stable beta last week, which fixed up linux servers and also improved client to server connections by preferring a direct connection to the server. It was mission successful in most regards, but a minority of users still had issues connecting – which we have been addressing over the past few days via hotfixes in the Unstable beta. If you were one of the frustrated souls impacted by this, then let us know if you are still suffering on Unstable (hopefully not) on this thread on the Steam Board. Our current plan is to get these final people back on board the connection train, then move onto releasing the final 41 patch into the freshly vacated Unstable beta next week. We’ve now locked coder submissions to this patch (necessary fixes aside) and the final changelist looks like this. LATER We’ve blogged a bunch of stuff that we’re working towards getting into 42 now, but this week we thought it also worth mentioning that work has re-begun on the fire revamp. The fire revamp is something that got a lot of coverage in ‘doids around two years ago, so it probably predates the knowledge of a fair few readers who have come on board in more recent times during B41’s MP launch and consequent hi-jinks. Work on revamped fire had to be put to one side in favour of bolstering the Multiplayer code team, and ever since then it has been sitting on a dusty shelf and getting a little stale. The tldr of it when last we left it runs as follows: A realistic spread of fire, with combustible materials that make sense. A system that takes into account temperature, material types, weight, volume, surface area, heating energy, cooling energy etc A set-up on both a solo map and an MP network that means that the game can ‘remember’ what is going on in terms of a spreading fire when players leave the area. Fire spread that uses the direction and speed of the wind, with in-game rain helping with fires being put out. Improved effects and visuals. So what now? Well a nice chap called Denis is brushing off the unfinished work – and has brought it all up to date with the codebase two years later. This task is now complete, and this video shows a quick summary of where we got to. So where does this leave us? Well it doesn’t make it a confirmed 42 feature, we are already going to be packing a LOT in, but it does make its inclusion more likely. We want to improve the visuals still (we are still not happy with whether it fits the game scene), and we want Denis to take his time getting to grips with the codebase and what can be done with the system still. Likewise we’ll be working on new anims for zeds and players who have caught fire, and the sound team will be providing all manner of sizzle noises. So this is basically us waving a flag at you to say that we hadn’t forgotten all this cool shit, and it’s back off the shelf and receiving some active love and attention for later on down the line. WELCOME KIRRUS! The team would like to officially welcome Kirrus to the TIS locker-room! Kirrus has been a long-term contributor, helper and ‘cool head in troubled times’ throughout the history of Project Zomboid – but has never been officially on the team. He’s now a full time member of the gang, and our new Sys Admin. Big Spiffo hug incoming! This week’s office space from Sr.Cannoli. A changelist of all our pre-release and post-release patches since the 41 beta began can be found here. The Centralized Block of Italicised Text would like to direct your attention to the PZ Wiki should you feel like editing or amending something, and the PZ Mailing List that can send you update notifications once builds get released. We also live on Twitter right here! Our Discord is open for chat and hijinks too. Experienced games dev and want to work with us, especially if you’re an Animations Engineer as Christ alive that would be handy? Details here.
