  1. The vehicles in the game all have the some looking dashboard HUD so I was thinking different vehicles should have different dashboard HUDs. You know with differently arranged and shaped odometers, fuel gauges, rev counter etc. Makes the game more realistic and authentic.
  2. Is there a way to set vehicle spawns with coordinates and/or to have a vehicle spawn with a player/specific player when they spawn? Looking for the server to do it rather than mods or admin commands. Any help is appreciated
  3. • 41.78.16 • multiplayer • dedicated server • without/with mods (doesn't make difference) • Multiplayer - bug appears, but in singleplayer everything works fine short explanation: whenever car you're discovering by opening a hood, and alarm is triggered - zombies don't give a f... BUT, when u smash another one car with alarm - everything works fine here's the video demonstration of this bug:
  4. I think it'd be nice if tow trucks were added to the game for the following reasons. 1. You could tow a car with the crane in the rear of the truck without having to get out of your car to hook it up. 2. Tow trucks would have high horse power by default so they'd be especially good for towing vehicles. 3. The crane in the back could lift the car upwards creating less drag since only 2 tires would be making contact with the road. 4. They'd be a great way of sorting vehicles out rather than have to drive each one individually to put into place or have each be towed manually by another car. 5. You could clear the road of any accident obstructions of too wrecked to even get into cars or just regular cars. I was thinking the tow crane could be controlled like raised or lowed by the v menu from flat to a predetermined height/angle. Also you could set from the menu whether to hook up to a car or release it from the tow hook. I was thinking they could be found around at tow garages or along the road at accident events.
  5. Hi all, I wanted to create a thread here on the official forums to help facilitate communication with folks outside of my personal communities. I thought this would be a good way to problem solve any issues that might arise with my vehicles, let everyone know when a new one is released, or a place where folks can request a vehicle to be made. My goal is to make vehicles for the game that match the game's original vehicle art style as well as function just like the game's original vehicles without making them overpowered or game-breaking in some way. With that said, I've also added animations for doors, windows, hoods, and trunks that utilize the features being included in a future update. My vehicles do not require dependencies. All my vehicles in one Workshop collection: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2990894264 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV 1984 Ford Bronco II 1985 Pontiac Fiero 1982 Subaru Brat 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV 1985 Honda Civic Wagovan 1992 Subaru Legacy Wagon 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL 1993 Saab 900 Turbo 2021 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 1972 AMC Javelin AMX 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX & Eagle Talon TSi 1988 Ferrari F40 I have a Patreon that has some fun perks such as a poll where my patrons choose which car I work on next (they've selected almost all of these) plus acts as a way to stay updated first when I release a new vehicle. Check it out: https://www.patreon.com/ExtraNoise And finally, I also have a Discord that is a great place to come chat with other folks who love weird cars and Zomboid as much as you (among other topics of discussion). Plus you get a sneak peak at what I'm working on next and can suggest what you'd like to see. The Discord can be accessed using this link: https://discord.gg/ZyeW8puzmh Feel free to use this thread to make suggestions as well. I love to hear what you'd like to see in the game!
  6. My friend is trying to host a server, and we ran into a big problem with the vehicles. We spawned in a car to test if everything is working, and it spawned in with perfect condition, gas, and I had the key. The dash shows grey on the engine, but green on the battery. Under the hood it shows everything perfectly fine. We have mods, and we messed around with stuff, but we don't have errors. I tried making another post, but I dont know if it went through, so my apologies for a second post if so.
  7. Im having an issue with a server with my friend that the car even though is full condition and gas, but won't start. We have mods and even used the mod menu to repair it and still doesn't work. The engine is grey on the dash, but green in the hood.
  8. This is not a new bug. I feel like the phrasing needed an update, thus the new post. The ONLY reason I built a garage was to test this out, because EVERY time I enter my vehicles, the temperature is a lot hotter than normal daily outside temperature and I wanted to get indoor temperature for the vehicle I use most often. Vehicles parked inside a building with indoor temperatures should inherit indoor temperature of the building it is parked in. Other posts on this topic say it happens in Winter as well, with cold temperatures (vehicle parked indoors do not inherit warmer/indoor temperature). I am playing solo in sandbox settings, no mods, 41.78.16, on Aug 22 @ 00:50 (just past midnight). The temperature outside is 70.7 degrees F. The temperature inside the garage is 71.6 degrees F. Vehicle parked outside, when entering the vehicle, the vehicle's interior temperature is 79.7 degrees F. Vehicle parked inside my player-built garage, when entering the vehicle, the vehicle's interior temperature is 79.7 degrees F. Essentially, there is no point (no benefit) of parking a vehicle inside a garage to keep the vehicle's interior temperature moderated by the indoor temperature. This makes zero sense. The vehicle should inherit the temperature around it while indoors inside a garage. The lighting is not great at night, but here are a couple screenshots, #1 standing inside garage (71.6 F) and #2 inside the vehicle parked inside garage (79.7 F).
  9. There should be an option to plant pipe bombs inside of a car in order to make a car bomb. Imagine if you are bitten and desire to take out as many zombies as you can so you drive to a horde at maximum speed and blow them up. Detonator could be set with a clock, remote or on impact
  10. Hello, I posted some time ago about me not being able to get any part of my mod to work in game. A removable Back Up Beeper will be added to the game's Step Van, which will make noise when the player puts the van in reverse. You would need a little electrical skill to remove it. I was also planning on giving it a little extra storage, to balance. It is a very big vehicle, after all. I managed now to get the Back-Up Beeper part to function as a part in the world. It is not in the van yet. I now need to have it be a part that's in the Step Van, which I could not seem to work properly. Back up beepers on real vehicles seem to be mounted on the underside, out of sight, so I'm not concerned about having a model that appears on the Step Van. What I'm asking is this: How can I modify the base game's Step Van so that it will include this part, a Back Up Beeper? I have looked at similar mods which have added new cars with new parts, but I wasn't able to figure out the specifics. If it would help, I have attached below the files in which the Back Up Beeper is defined. If it is necessary, I could send more of what I have currently written. Simply adding "template BackUpBeeper," to the Step Van's script did not seem to work. I will greatly appreciate any insight that you may be able to offer. Have a good evening. Thank you for reading, Blockbot20 BackUpBeeper.txt BackUpBeeper_models.txt template_BackUpBeeper.txt
  11. Every time I use cruise control at 40mph while driving a Chevy Dart the music stops playing. It does not do this at any other speed, I've attached a video of this event along with an image of the cars condition. (Though the video shows it bugging at 45mph it doesn't normally, only if you were going 40mph before hand) OS: Linux Mint PZ Version: 41.78.16 Single Player Vanilla If you need any additional info just ask PZbug-2023-04-11.mp4
  12. Hi, I'm making a mod that adds a removable (with some electrical skill) back-up beeper to spawn with the game's step vans, while adding a little extra trunk room (the downside being putting the vehicle in reverse will make a looping loud beep from the vehicle, which will attract zombies until the part can be uninstalled). This will not be visible from looking at the step van, but checking at the mechanics tab will reveal whether it's installed or not. It will always be installed when the vehicle spawns into the world. I know of older versions of the game where something very similar was on all commercial vehicles, but I couldn't find the code for that in those versions files, and the seemed to have a problem where the sound would play as soon as the reverse button was pressed, and rapidly tapping would quickly, repeatedly play the sound. My goal was to avoid that and place a minimum time limit between each beep. Hopefully, this is understandable and enough information. This is my first mod, I have a little familiarity with coding, but not much with lua, so I'd like to apologize, I had to take inspiration from similar vehicle mods already on the workshop. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what exactly is causing this issue. Booting up the game with only this mob enabled shows no change from the base game. The step vans in the world will not have the part on them and will not beep in reverse. The console give the following: ERROR: template "BackUpBeeper" not found. (The name I have used throughout the code to specify this back-up beeper.) I have below attached files I suspect to be causing the problem. "beeper_vehiclesitems" gives the qualities of the back-up beeper itself, while "template_beeper" explains the qualities of the item in the vehicle, if that's the correct information. I also have attached the revised step van code for the game. The changes I have made it to where the back-up beeper ("template = BackUpBeeper") and an increase of 10 to the step van's trunk size, increasing it to 170. These were taken after the example of the base game's code for adding vehicle items, so I'm not quite sure what bits are necessary for this item. For example, some of the code that specified an item of a vehicle had a "lua" segment at the end, which I believe gave the variables such as "create" and "update" and I believe all of them had "test" under the specifications for uninstalling the part. This can be seen as the last written code in my "template_beeper". Is this necessary? What, exactly, does it do? I have additionally attached below the code which specifies what functions of the back-up beeper (I have my intended functions for the beeper at the top of this message) The code runs through the game as the mod is but it may cause errors in the future once the mod's functionality changes. I apologize if this was too much to read, I just wasn't sure how to get the mod functioning properly. Thank you. beeper_vehiclesitems.txt template_beeper.txt vehicle_stepvan.txt ReverseBeeper.lua
  13. I created a mod a while back probably a year ago or so to add my own car into the game, and I had it working fine but then I didn't play for a while and now I tried adding it again in the current PZ version, with the same mod folder I created back then, and now the wheels are huge and when I change the wheel size, radius, and width settings in my vehicle script it does nothing. I also tried changing the model size in blender and replacing the fbx file but it still didn't make a difference. It's confusing because the wheel model is proportional to the car model when I exported them as fbx files but then in PZ it's like monster truck wheels. The only thing that I can figure out that changes the wheel size is reducing the scale of the model reference in the vehicle creation (line 47), which then also makes the doors access disappear into the body of the car. Additionally, I had to set the scale of the model itself kind of wacky to get it right in game, if I set the scale inside ScionxBBase to 1 (line 7) and the scale inside the model reference in the ScionxB vehicle to 1 (line 47) the model of the car itself is way bigger than the game object/ScionxB vehicle that gets placed into the game, and then the model is off center for some reason (it definitely was not off center when I exported the fbx file) As it is right now, the car is the correct size and the doors work and everything, it's just that the wheels appear to be huge and stick through the body and I can't figure out how to change the size of them anymore. Additionally I am having an issue where the sound of the engine revving when upshifting while turning doesn't properly line up with the acceleration and I think it might have something to do with the gear ratio settings but I can't figure that out either so if anyone has any suggestion about that I'd appreciate it. Code below EDIT: somehow now changing the wheel scale to 0.45 works after I moved the mod folder from zomboid/workshop/mods to zomboid/mods... I don't understand I tried changing it so many times before and it did literally nothing. Thanks
  14. Bug present in: 41.78.16 In media/lua/server/Vehicles/Vehicles.lua we can see the generation of the success/failure chances for vehicle part installation/removal, on line 1350 with calculateInstallationSuccess() It generates and returns a tuple with the success and failure chance, using some math. The math results in, for example, success=65, failure=35 for being 1 level under the part's 'desired' skill level. This tuple is consumed for vehicle part uninstallation in the function starting on line 96 in media/lua/server/Vehicles/VehicleCommands.lua, in the uninstallPart() function. The problem is that on line 127, you do... -- from uninstallPart(), failure chance structured incorrectly if ZombRand(100) < success then [...] elseif ZombRand(failure) < 100 then -- <- Mistake, note the transposed 'failure' and '100'. Compare to above and below examples. [...] But this makes no sense. Compare it to the installPart() function above this one, which is almost identical but structured correctly... -- from installPart(), written correctly if ZombRand(100) < success then [...] elseif ZombRand(100) < failure then [...] The issue: You are generating a random number between 0 and 35 (to use our '1 level too low, 35% failure chance' example), and then checking if it's < 100. Well, of course it will be. Compare this to what it SHOULD be in the second code block above from installPart(), which actually gives a 35% chance. Technically it's actually still possible to 'not succeed and not damage the part' with this code by having a >= 6 level difference, because that will produce a 110% chance of failure, and thus have a 10% chance of actually 'missing' that code block. I'm sure someone just inverted the order of things there and meant to put the 100 as the argument to ZombRand and compare the result to failure instead of the other way around in uninstallPart() and nobody caught it.
  15. Quando eu abro o jogo pelos arquivos locais/aplicativo "ProjectZomboid32", a função de rebocar carros fica dando erro o tempo inteiro! Me incapacitando de rebocar veículos! Não é nenhum mod que causa o erro, ele acontece sempre que eu abro por esse "aplicativo"! Meu jogo não tem um bom desempenho quando eu jogo pela versão normal de 64 bits, então eu jogo apenas na versão de 32, mas acontece esse erro sempre!
  16. Hello, let us place colored light bulbs as headlights A possibility to paint light bulbs somehow would be cool too. thanks in advance
  17. Suggestions 1. Change Vehicle camera positioning. The center of the screen should be shifted forward in the direction of the vehicle. 2. Allow camera movement with RMB like in a normal person view. Currently it is only possible to "aim" the camera when the front window is open... which is illogical. 3. It would be better to introduce "Vehicle camera offset" option to let players configure how far the camera is moved when they enter a vehicle. Rationale 1. In most cases a player does not really need to observe half of the screen behind the car. At the other hand the player needs to look forward and the further he can see the road - the better. It is not possible to "aim" the camera with RMB in a car when the front window is closed but it is possible to do so when you open that window. As the result I found myself in an illogical situation where I open a window to look further by aiming the camera and positioning it so that the car would be at the border of my screen. Because I don't need to know what is BEHIND my car when I move at 100mph speed. The only exception is a situation where I intentionally aim my camera backwards. 2. It is useful to be able to use "aim" camera. I don't really get why we can't use it with closed windows. It would be better to allow players to use this camera and look through the windows of the car exactly the same as they can do with open windows now. 3. In case someone does not like the offset - they can tune it.
  18. For some reason at 1:06:18 of this playthrough I died: I start rapidly losing health even though I'm not encumbered, fractured, bitten, or anything and then at 1:08:29 I die in the driver's seat of my truck. All I was doing was moving inventory. What happened?
  19. I think it'd be nice to be able to lock pick in the game like for car doors as well as regular doors. I think this mechanic could be some kind of lock picking skill that you'd improve from picking locks as well as boost through lock picking books. Maybe there could even be a locksmith occupation that gets you started on the functional capabilities of said skill. Perhaps the skill could also be in the burglar occupation. I think for the tools needed it'd be standard lock picks or maybe you could even make some out of the paperclips you find in the game. For starters, It'd be nice to be able to unlock a car without having to find the key or smash the window in addition to hotwiring it. As for doors it'd be nice being able to get in the building without having to find the key or bash my way in through said door or other entrance. For padlocks it'd be nice to get through those too. I guess for the mechanic to work, with all the proper items and skills in hand you'd right click the you want to lock pick and select "pick lock" and the progress meter would fill up as you pick the lock. It will take a few tries until success and fewer tries and faster ones as you level up.
  20. Okay so get this, the guy on the cover of Project Zomboid is a on car and yet we can't climb vehicles in the game? I mean if we could climb up cars that would add some protection from the zombies. You know, in a "I have the high ground!" kind of sense. The zombies would either not be able to climb up making you completely safe but surrounded; not able to climb up but able to pull you down if you're too close to the edge making it so you should go inwards on top of the car as much as possible; or they can climb up and maul you to death in addition to pulling you down. If they can't climb up but you're surrounded it would give you the opportunity to pick them off with your gun or strike them dead downwards with a melee weapon. Same thing if they could pull you down which is a bit more challenging. It the most extreme case they can climb up or pull you down making it so you have to attack the most immediately threatening zombie. Like the one that gets up first, that's who you kill. The most extreme case would force you to fight quickly and sequentially to at least endure a bit longer. Might want to add some kind of move to knock off climbing zombies or swat away zombies trying to pull you down. Personally I prefer it if they couldn't climb or grab you down. The balancing factor would still be that if you're out of gun(s) rounds you got to pull out your melee weapon. If your melee weapon(s) breaks then you could very well be screwed. Screwed because you'd essentially be stranded on your car which would eventually lead to your death due to hunger and dehydration not to mention you probably could sleep too well. I mean a horde of zombies growling at me inches away while I'm on a hard cold car roof ain't exactly a sleep number bed experience. The car could also serve as a temporary barrier between you and the zombies. For example, they're chasing you, you quickly vault over a car (or climb it and jump off the other end) and now the zombies have to go around rather than just making a beeline for you. That could buy you some time which is always of the essence in the game in every conceivable way! So yeah I want to be able to use a car roof to my advantage as well as be like the chad on the cover!
  21. Hi, does anyone know why when I try to spawn a vehicle in debug mode its name doesn't appear? I followed the creation guide to the letter and it doesn't appear :c [18:35] If anyone could help me I would be eternally grateful.
  22. There should be motorcycles in the game that can be filled with gas like cars. They'd be more maneuverable than cars and can even fit in the player's home/base through a normal door. Disadvantages would be less protection against zombies (and soon to be hostile NPCs) as well as the potential to be flung off the vehicle in a crash. There are already motorcycle helmets in the game but no motorcycle to go with them btw!
  23. I noticed in project zomboid you can't see the inside of your vehicle. The windows are opaque and when they get broken there's this weird gray shade that shows up in the window frame. I was thinking windows should be transparent and show the inside of the vehicle like the seats and the player driving of course. Useful for seeing the player as well as their condition. Transparent windows are possible for buildings so I figure they'd be possible for vehicles. They gray shading where the window used to be could be mistaken for a window since it's opaque like the windows are just gray.
  24. I noticed when you hook up cars to cars the towing chain is invisible. So I think the chain should be visible as in actually modeled and textured. If you have an invisible chain then it looks like the cars are just floating together which doesn't look right.
  25. By customizing cars I don't mean adding spikes to the front of them or things like that but rather something like this, say I have a red pickup truck and I find a white one... I would love it if I could take off the hood of the white one and replace the hood of my red one so I would have a red pickup with a white hood.
