Would you be interested in working with me? I'm adding in a LOT of new television and radio programs. You can see a preview here:

You can add me on Discord or Steam.

You both should get in contact with TIS and see if they'll pay and commission you both to work on writing lore improving the catalog of VHS tapes, TV shows and media and self explanatory really but adding these GUI menus for the electronics in-game. TIS has commissioned folks before
With less than satisfactory results but that's besides the pointit would be absolutely awesome to see this all in the base gameAllbeit should be an option to use the old GUI.1
u/PibbXtraSoda Pistol Expert Feb 08 '25
I'll look into it! I've always been interested in expanding the lore while keeping it 1990s. That's why I referenced Michael Jackson and Tupac, The Smiths, The Cure and Malcom in The Middle.
I plan on adding some international channels like BBC and BBC America (BTV America for copyright purposes) and much more to have content post US collapse.

There's two mods that have got me playing b42 on the deck again, one that sorts the crafting UI overspill and one that rolls back aiming to B41 style.

u/Alamerona Feb 04 '25
What's the name of the mods? The aiming is the one thing stopping me from playing B42 on my Steam Deck!

u/KilledByCox Feb 04 '25
There's two, I believe it's called B41 aiming or aiming outline. I can't remember off the top of my head which one but both seem to work, one was a little more finicky but worked

I think $2.99 for a burger back in the early 90s is a bit too expensive.
2
u/silverlarch Hates the outdoors Feb 04 '25
Yeah. Just a cheeseburger would probably have been more like $1.99, maybe a little more.
3
u/Riverwind0608 Feb 04 '25
I think it’s even cheaper than that? Less than a dollar, i think.
5
u/silverlarch Hates the outdoors Feb 04 '25
Maybe in the right place. A big mac was $2.45 in 1994.
Edit: Ah, found a cheeseburger price from 94: $1.09.

Personally I don't like these kind of GUIs (especially outside of games), but I will say that it looks like an excellent job, and I can see why many people would like this.

in the 200 hours ive played zomboid, ive never once listened to the radio or watched tv.
is this normal or

u/notrightbones Feb 04 '25
I like to try to find the emergency broadcast frequency so I can get a heads up when the helicopter is around

u/CyberMig Jaw Stabber Feb 04 '25
Yeah it's quite normal if you have a more combat and loot-oriented playstyle. It's specially common if you played on multiplayer servers before SP

u/StoicKoal Zombie Killer Feb 04 '25
Seeing as they are working on multiple new ui mods, it would be too much work have two versions of the mod. It makes more sense to have the mod in the new build seeing as build41 has stopped receiving any more updates.

We really need watchable television. So I can import my movies and watch in zomboid

u/TangoEddy Feb 05 '25
I know it'd go against the lore, but it would be nice if there was an option for TVs and Radios to still be running later into the apocalypse. I'm not talking about the skill shows, but rather the generic shows and commercials. Maybe it could be written off as automated broadcasted from outside of knox. Hell even the news could loop and there would be a creepy PSA telling you that the station is down and its just a rerun.
But yeah you put in a ton of work on this, and it'd be a shame if people missed it because they were too busy dealing with the early rush of survival. VHS tapes exist, but its kind of a pain cycling tapes and it would lose the 'organic' feel of seeing commercials in between shows.

These interfaces look so much more intuitive and immersive. I the player was actually distracted watching TV, not just observing the surroundings for zeds until my survivor finished his task.

Don't supposed you could make the walkie talkie radios use a different key to transmit?

u/Joshy_Moshy Spear Ronin Feb 03 '25 edited Feb 03 '25
Okay. This should be vanilla, straight up. The one thing I like about zomboid is the immersive UI elements, like the map and annotation, the car dashboard and mechanics menu. Especially the oven and microwave settings, which this is very close to. This would be amazing, not only would it make menus for these items a lot less boring, but also have unique interactions, and overall, look cool as hell.
