Artfactial Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I’m a big fan of BookMod, the collectible element to rummaging through bookcases and going after certain authors/genres for RPing is wonderful. I have been thinking about doing a similar thing with collectible music, mainly CD’s and cassettes. It would be, initially, without purpose as there is no functionality to CD-players (or existence of cassette-decks) but I figured, starting this up In anticipation of the functionally would be fun. I’d like to add custom art for all albums, as that is a large part of the hobby, but am not sure how taxing this would be on the engine, I’d imagine it should be fine, just a decently large amount of work. I’m new to Zomboid modding (though have been playing since the beginning) and don’t want to blow this up to a enormous project but this sort of thing might be a good way to get started. Any tips, ideas, precautions?:) Edit: Of course, I can't help myself but look into a way to make custom functionality. Current idea: Have a recipe that requires a CD-player/Cassette-deck+Cd/Cassette(probably earplugs), than gain small happiness/boredom/stress bonus while listening. A duration could be put in, or a "page" system like the books have so that you can pauze/play, but that might be tricky, I don't know.

There are only 3 CDs but each has several custom music tracks on them. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1934751140 This one make it so you can play those handheld videogames you find in closets and dressers. You should be able to use these mods as a base to make your own, or send a message to the maker of these mods and maybe he will throw a few tips your way.

Artfactial Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Oh wow, I knew about the videogame mod, but hadn't seen the Cd one yet. Should probably have checked beforehand. I have about 200 Cd items ready so that'll be a nice base to experiment on the implementation. Thanks a lot! I will check them out, see how easy they would be to appropriate and contact the authors!:D leon2356 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
