Yeah I always wanted the exact same thing. I'm a little sad that the game seem to moved away from trying to create a creepy atmosphere. +100 to this idea
Did they explicitly state they want to move away from creepy atmosphere? If so that's actually a bummer..

I've noticed in game that the ambient songs such as...
Ambient: Brass,
Ambient: Zombie,
Ambient: Rhytmic,
Ambient: Percussive,
Ambient: Creepy,
Ambient: Intense
...are still present but not used.
I had a suggestion to the devs on how you can use them again. So basically my suggestion is - make them play exclusively at night when player is awake, overriding any and all other music tables in game!
Now there's a reason for that, and it's simple: these ambients make gameplay at night terrifying! I've modified myself the MusicChoices.lua file to include these ambients only and played a night to see how it would work.
I really, really felt the atmosphere shoot through the roof with these in the background. I was actually terrified to enter any building and seeing hordes, having the Intense ambient in background made it so much more impactful and fun. I'd also say kind of scary in fact. They bring out the horror aspect of PZ quite nicely.
So TL;DR:
- Make the unused ambients play only at night, from 23:00 (11PM) to 6:00 AM, overriding any other music track. Past 6:00AM, music goes back to normal music.
Please devs?

So Recently I had a thought of doing a mod.
I feel like the creepy ambient tracks that are present in the game are underutilised and I wanted to make a mod, or atleast try making a mod, where these creepy ambients override any sort of music when game time hits 23:00 (11:00 PM) in game.
Basically I want game to use only ambient music table from MusicChoices.lua, forcibly switching to it, after 23:00 in game. I want to do this because I feel like it would increase the tension and make the game much, much more creepy at night if said music was playing.
Does anyone know what function I need to call or could call to then make the game play only ambient music, then go back at 6:00 AM to normal music?

Please, can you make so that the system remembers last weapon that player held in hotbar before switching to it? I've noticed that when I reach for shotgun and then press 1 again to reach for last weapon I held (lead pipe), I come empty handed and I've died because of it.
To make it look better you could make so that character first 'hides' melee weapon with animation on their back, storing last weapon they held on their back, only to then pick up firearm in from the slot, and vice-versa.

Fantastic update. Thanks guys.
Also last line

Oh also Lemmy, Nolan helped me find a solution for the error that was occuring when making wrecks have car parts. They were basically nil according to game.
If you want to fix this (you don't have to, it's just a suggestion!), in Vehicles.lua do this at line 939:
Quoteif not (item == nil) then
local conditionMultiply = 100/item:getConditionMax();
item:setConditionMax(item:getConditionMax()*conditionMultiply);
item:setCondition(item:getCondition()*conditionMultiply);
endBasically make those three lines with conditionMultiply inside an 'if'.
Should resolve any problems with car parts being nil (in mods mainly) and game shouldn't throw any errors in console now. I have tested this, it does not bring back the bug with low condition of tires and car parts.

So I want to detect if a vehicle is burnt via LUA code.
I am trying to overwrite a method from Vehicles.lua to basically not do certain block for certain vehicles. Basically wanna do "if not burnt then do the condition multiply" thingy to exclude burnt vehicles from being checked for parts conditions. I can't seem to find a way to get vehicle type via Lua.. is that possible somehow?
Quoteif not vehicle:getVehicleType("burnt") then
local conditionMultiply = 100/item:getConditionMax();
item:setConditionMax(item:getConditionMax()*conditionMultiply);
item:setCondition(item:getCondition()*conditionMultiply);

its a new build dude, the biggest addition to the code since ever. Some mods are just not gonna work right now. Turn it off, then update it when the build is out of IWBUMS. And thanks Indie Stone, this is a great update. Loving the new survival
Oh no the thing is, mod is updated to work on build 41. Just after latest fix for the vehicle tire condition, it seems to have broken many things.

Hey lemmy, I appreciate changes..
However now there's a problem with mods that mod the burnt car wrecks. Sadly I made a mod that mods those wrecks but now it doesn't work anymore after this update as intended and keeps throwing errors in console... despite game working just fine.
The problem is that for example if I try to have a wreck with accessible trunk or glovebox, the game throws error about condition of these parts. I know you don't want to provide support for mods but I thought I'd point it out anyway so you could maybe give a helping hand here and possibly prevent code from checking burnt cars.
Now it's simply impossible to add any parts from normal cars to burnt vehicles, because wreck condition is 0% but sometimes part condition is above that when you add in burntcars.txt some parts like accessible and lootable glovebox, truck bed or trunk door. It throws this exception upon spawning, and everything seems to work, except the fact that it keeps throwing the errors in console.
I know this is a lot to ask, but lemmy, would you be able to exclude wrecks/burnt cars from being checked for parts condition or somehow allow it to circumvent so it doesn't throw those errors in console and just ignores the conditions? It's sorta impossible to have any mods that involve wrecks right now if they have any car parts attached. I have attached console file. Please lemmy, I'd appreciate if you could atleast give some pointers what was changed because I'd have to basically strip down my mod from some important functionality and I really wouldn't want to do that.

Good sounds, but please, remember about adding getting in and out of car animations with animated doors.
Also I do think sounds are a tad over the top.
Suggestion: If you plan on keeping sprinting zombies, make sure they sprint maniacally just like in 28 weeks later ( with according animations too! /VERY/ IMPORTANT ), and then use THOSE sounds. They sound more like raging maniac running at you and honestly, if you kept moaning to slower zombies and then add this gutwrenching gurgles to the sprinters - I'd personally open a brick factory.
Basically those sounds fit sprinters more because they sound actually maniacal like an infected individual in blind rage would.

Shadow flickering bug:
It happens when you have invincibility, god mode and all debug tools disabled. Zombies must react to players presence, be able to hurt them, etc. It happens when zombies are close/walking towards player's car.
Observe car shadow change size rapidly. Game clean. Mods disabled. Tested with only Necroforge and then without it, manually.

Ever wanted to have the famous highway scene from The Walking Dead in Project Zomboid?
Ever wanted to see more chaos on the streets?
Did you hate the bland burnt car models that game offered that had no use other than to take up space?
Fear no more!
This mod adds various crashed vehicles all over the map, replacing some of the ugly burnt ones. It improves game's visual fidelity, it makes wrecks actually usefull.
Mod is standalone and will work without other mods just fine, however it works best with:
Filibuster's Rhymes Used Cars Mod
Filibuster's Rhymes Shrunk Cars
...for visual fidelity.
The mod used models from Used Cars mod.
VANILLA VERSION WILL COME LATER.
Features:
20 modelled crashed vehicle variants with their textures, working GUI and naming.
Lootable Trunks!
Lootable Gloveboxes! (just walk to the front right passegner window)
More chaos on the roads! (If you can call that a feature).
WORKS WITH EXISTING SAVES & CUSTOM MAPS!
Credits:
Modelling - Snek
Some of the coding and help - Filibuster Rhymes.
Known issues:
- The front right place to loot glovebox has no visual indicator.
- Bounding Box for Chevalier Dart wrecks is a bit too large, it will be fixed when I figure out how to do it correctly.
- Sometimes finnicky access to trunk/glovebox (but it isn't that bad, I hope).Workshop link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539281445

Some developements:
I have recently added 5 new vehicles (including ambulance).
Random loot now spawns in car trunks.
Now you can also loot glove box of the car by standing next to the right front passegner doors.

Will we be able to loot the interiors as well as the trunks?
I don't think so.

Honestly I like these more than the vanilla wreck models. The current models all look like they've been firebombed (and the devs haven't really explained why). This looks far more realistic. I hope you'll add it to the Steam Workshop.
That is the plan. Don't worry. I am trying to work out how to add lootable trunks.. and maybe car parts. Tho this mod will have limitations, like for example two identical cars spawning next to one another.
EDIT:
Boys, we working trunks.

Hi everyone. So I have been lately working on a mod that replaces (or rather adds to the roster) non-burnt, crashed vehicles that aren't driveable due to being wrecks basically. They are non-lootable at the very moment, however I do plan trying to make their trunks atleast lootable. They won't be fixable either, so you can only scrap them for metal, like burnt ones.
There are sadly some limitations that I will have to obey (like inability to make randomised colors, so there will be 4 colors for each car model).
I plan to make 20 models in total (or more), not counting color variations.
I should make atleast 2 variants of each crashed car.

Hey Filibuster, do you mind including my mod into your mod?

You are very welcome to do so. I'd appreciate it.

Not quite - but literally every build ater weather, including animations, is on what we internally call our 'road to NPCs' roadmap which we'll talk about after animations and will be major. There may be quick inbetween builds though depending on circumstance.
I have a question. After you're done with animations and all above, will you consider switching from items being 2D sprites (when dropped to the ground) to 3D maybe? Do you plan for car windows to be see-through with ability to see character model?
I guess enviroment could be entirely in 2D but items/characters/cars in 3D.

My prediction/s
After build 40-
B.41- Electricity/Powergrid overhaul.
B.41.2- Farming system overhaul.
B.41.3- Vehicle modifications? (Main B.41 focus?)
B.42- Animations
A couple of builds after anims will be improvements/add ons (map dev etc...) before NPC builds. Unless everything for anims is crammed into one build #.
B.45???- NPCs
It's already confirmed that Build 41 is animations. We get electricity, farming and vehicle mods after that.

The only way of "editing" the vanilla map (or any other mod map that you didn't make) is to make a new cell that replaces the cell you want to edit or replace, using the guide listed above.
Oh okay, because I wanted to see if I could push vanilla's map detail to the limit.

This is creating new map, not editing current one in game. I look to edit current one in game.

Does anyone know how can I edit vanilla map? I would like to see where it takes me and how would I go about editing it. Just wanted to play around and see where it takes me sicne I am beginner.

I hope devs make this happen. I am digging through the code to make that happen somehow.
