This should be base game! Love it! Would be better if the gas lantern had the same reddish glow as an antique oven/campfire though! Also an oil lamp that can be refilled with cooking oil would be amazing!

How can I spawn one? /additem LTN_SL do not work

Added the German Translation Files to the Discussions Section. :)

el mod es perfecto pero me gustaria que hubiera una traduccion al ruso o al español

@Slooth, that is amazing to hear, I definitely get wanting to see if the devs do it first

Once B42 is out on stable and its lanterns are still not lightable when placed I'll look into updating this mod.

i kinda prefer this mod over B42 lanterns tbh, at least these ones work on the floor

@UndeadLokemaniac @tilarium yes it has lanterns however they don't have the same functionality, they can't be attached to backpacks or turned on when placed (atleast not the hurricane lanterns which are the good ones, not sure if you can turn on the propane lanterns when they are placed)

Hey, is it OK to add this mod to my unlisted modpack - it's for a private server?

@tilarium is right, b42 base has lanterns now.

I tried updating to B42 myself, but lanterns don't appear, so it seems a bit more than just adding the new folders etc to update

@tilarium Except that we cant place it while it's turned on which is extremely stupid :/

You guys do know that B42 has lanterns, right? Well, obviously you don't, because otherwise you wouldn't be saying to update this mod.

please update for b42

Please update for B42!

will this be in B42?

For some reason I can't refuel the Gas lantern even when it's completely empty...

I cant refuel the lantern unless its completely empty? :(

Literally one of the most useful and atmospheric mods out there!
Thank you very much!

The format of the rus translation document is incorrect because of this in the game hieroglyphs can u check pls?

The power of the lantern is not realistic. She is cheaty big.

I absolutely love this mod. I've used it as long as I can remember. It's great to have on the belt or just to put down at a fishing spot and get a nice moody bit of light. I prefered how it looked way back before we had the red and blue lanterns.

The increased light is a bit over the top visually and it's quite OP in my opinion. I would love the old version of this mod TBH. Or a sandbox option to tame it a bit.

They are also quite common when playing on Extremely Rare.

Possible to tone down the spawning? Even with everything set to rare or extremely rare, I still find a large supply of lanterns.

Hello, I sent the Brazilian Portuguese translation of your mod, if you can add it. I would really appreciate it!
There is an error in the Recipes.txt file which I fixed mine from "Recipe_Refill_GasLantern" to "Recipe_Refill_Gas_Lantern"
I also included translation for craft and dismantle.

On your "To Do" list you have Add Crafting Recipe for Lanterns. Is that a thing and if so what do I type in the crafting to look at what I need?

evil within

Can't for the life of me find one

1. please make the lamp a tool, not lighting(so u can store it on tool belt)
2. broken description on russian language

@Q17 Got the same problem here. Lantern works fine in hand or attached to a belt. But when it's placed it will play the "switch" sound. But will not start to illuminate the are around it.

Can't turn on/off the lantern when it's standing. What might be the problem?

Man I hope the conflict with sapph's heaters got fixed soon, both mods are great with the ability to put lanterns and heaters on ground while keeping it activated

best mod ever

How do i refill the lantern with a gas can in my inventory? The lantern still has 67% fuel left.

No instructions, don't know if mod is working or not, don't know how to craft lantern either ? Please help

I can't do without this MOD. Thank you! By the way, I've been investigating the issue where lanterns wouldn't light up when placed on the ground. It turns out that, in my setup, the MOD adding multiple heaters, "Sapphire's Heaters," seems to be the culprit. This MOD had previously been reported for bugs on the forum, but its conflict with lanterns was unexpected. I hope this discovery will be helpful to everyone.

@Slooth cool mod man, playing with it on mp with friends. The only problem is that the light is not displayed for others when you turn it on, when its attached to the belt.

the gas lantern doesn't turn on when placed on the floor.

I've got an option on fuel barrels from Fuel API (I THINK) that says [DBG] Add Fuel allowing players to generate gas infinitely. Don't remember seeing it before adding this mod.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a loophole, but it seems like I can craft both Electric Lantern and Gas Lantern using an empty Battery as material, and the lanterns ended up having full Battery power. So when the Lantern "battery" is out (both Electric and Gas), I could just dismantle the lantern and make a new one using the previous empty battery, and it's good as new.

Is this known bug or maybe because of conflicting mod? Because I haven't experienced red alert popout when playing with these lanterns (all features are also working normally, except that loophole above).

Does the update for "is world item" allow it to light up when set on the ground?

Дизбалансный мод, не рекомендую, радиус 360 градусов фар автомобиля, длительность горения запредельная, этот мод можно было не делать, а сделась сразу белые ночи.

@DarkSideoftheSpoon I may have commented some elements of my code like the server and client command system. However I would highly suggest checking out the modding channel is Project Zomboid discord server. There is a lot of collective modder information that you can search for and most likely find a conversation about it. FWolfe has a good modding introduction guide that is worth checking out as well. The most effective for me at least was looking through the javadocs and lua files in the game folder.

Do you have any commentated code or tutorials you followed to get this working ? would like to make something similar-ish

Lantern lights don't seem to be persistent for me and my friends

can you make the lantern have a big circular light rather than small circle + very unrealistic big cone? Lanterns irl give light all around but have considerably shorter range than flashlights

The bottle of gasoline (that is originally the orange soda bottle) cannot be used to refill the gas lantern. Can you perhaps add this in the future? Thank you, I really enjoy and appreciate this mod.

The lantern is great until you put it down: hitting "turn on" gives you a clicking noise, but no light.

I have a problem with disassembling my favorite lanterns, so I always accidentally disassemble them when I put the batteries in. I don't think favorite items should be disassembled.

It's a shame that I can walk around in combat and put bullets in my gun, but I can't put batteries in my lantern. If my lantern goes out in combat, I have to stop in place to turn it back on.

The range of the lantern is disappointing at times. If you have a high Electrical Engineering skill level, I would suggest enhancing it with the flahslight (base.torch) range. At the cost of increased battery consumption.

I would like to provide a translation file for my language, can you open a translation discussion page?

The only thing I dislike is when you place the lantern down on the ground when it is not turned on
Is you can not right click on it and turn it on. You have to turn it on while it is equipped on you then you have to place it down.

I tested the mod in multiplayer both public and private and with only this mod active and it doesn't seem possible to light it while on the ground, is there some possible fix?
