It wasn't tagged 42 in Aug.

Works fine in B42.
Learn how to use mod load order.

But its tagged with Build 42?

90% of all "it's not working", "it doesn't show up in the mod list" and "it does X to X" complaints on mods now are the B42 idiots trying to use B41 mods.

@Alb3rt_Hmm I need more information than that. Are you on B42 or B41?

not working, does not reduce weight, breaks tvs and radio / walkie talkie UI

Do you think you could add modded walkie talkies? I forget which mod it is but I have an ATF walkie and a few others which would be awesome!

Every time I find a walkie I tell my self "ooh, I have a mod" then I rem it doesn't work

When I was fixing the bug I was reusing the same save. The weight updated for me. You can try activating the mod last in case something is overriding it.

I guess it requires a fresh save, since the weight is the same for me still.

Thanks for fixing. It actually works now. Talkies are 0.1.

Fixed the problem. Will be updating this shortly.

Yep. Doesn't work at all.

Everyone saying thank you and it doesnt even work

yea it doesn't work

Listed as working for b42 but doesn't appear to actually do anything right now.

Thank you

@Krist why not make the weights changeable in Sandbox? That'd let server owners dictate the weight without multiple mods.

@Kenjataimu This mod is a remake of one that was taken off of the workshop a while back. My goal was to remake the mod exactly as it was, and it did change the weight of radios. I have debated on removing the weight changes for the radios only, keeping the walkie weight changes. It would be a simple change.

That being said, I won't do that until B42 releases. I want the code to remain consistent for now because of how much mod updates can be a pain in the ass for multiplayer servers. I wouldn't feel right screwing up servers for a little mod like this.

How come you changed the weight of the ham radio? They should be pretty heavy. Would it be possible to make a version of the mod that has their weight unchanged?

firewatch yeeeah

Thanks, king

thank you author，you are my superman！

tyyy

Omg thank you. I used to always carry a walkie-talkie around to check the weather on the AEB + events but just had to start leaving it after the original mod was deleted

Finally! walkie talkies that arent made of lead & stalinium composite armour!

Yeah I carry a walkie on my guy at all times for the AEBS. I only remade the mod cause I got pissed when I saw the walkies were heavy again lol

Thanks, It's been like only 2 months since i played zomboid for the last time and when i went back to my server, i had to remove an unexistent mod and i saw that the walkie talkies were weighing kilograms again lol.

thank you for remaking the mod

thanks for this mod!

@Yisdoge Yes, and no. A walkie-talkie is specifically a hand-held transceiver; therefore, the 'US Army Walkie Talkie' in game is probably something like the AN/PRC-148 MBITR. It's a hand-held military radio from 1994 weighing about 1.9lbs/0.86kgs.
But something like a manpack (backpack) radio like the AN/PRC-150 Falcon II from 1996 weighs in at 10lbs/4.5kg without the battery.

---

@=Executive Callahan= In regards to a cheap walkie-talkie you can get for $10 dollars on Amazon or Walmart, it would probably weigh less than a pound; however, a more advanced walkie-talkie for professional, law enforcement or military use will be a pound or more. Especially in the 1990s.

@Yisdoge I'm not going to re-balance anything. Every encumbrance change in this is exactly as it was in the deleted mod.

=Executive Callahan= just chesk info in the web lol, low iq is making something OP. And ayo, not the 2023 radios, but 1993 ones) USA military walkie-talkies used to be 4 kgs and even more, altho we have wrong sprites for them in PZ

@Yisdoge Low iq take, walkie talkies don't weigh a pound bro

100 gramms for a radio is unreasonably low.. Like, um, back then in 1993 everyting used to be heavy and goofy

@NinKirin That's awesome to hear

@general shithead as you heard from SgtGranite's comment, weight in this game refers to how difficult something is to carry. That's why a stack of 100 nails has a higher encumbrance than a box of nails.

yay tank u

HE'S BACK!

Thanks for re-making this mod, you're the best. Especially with the fixes you made, this mod now works with Military Environment Addon, where the previous mod didn't before

Man saving lives

i think a lot of ppls misconception is that "encumbrance" equals weight. it is a number that also includes volume. while it is true a radio doesnt weight 20kg usually, it is a big ass block, that will fill up your backpack to the brim. im pretty sure thats where the developer ist coming from.
still like the mod tho, keep up the good work

yea radios are NOT that heavy from real life experience

Thank you very much!

thanks dude, you're a life saver. I wonder why this mod was deleted.

thank you!
