Answers for FAQs

  • Mod is tested only in Singleplayer. It may only work in Singleplayer.

  • Mod is still in active development, so expect updates.
  • It should be compatible with existing saves.
  • There may be some little bugs here and there, but the core functionalities work.


Lore
You found some strange hand written schematics on a dusty shelf. They seem to illustrate a way to modify a walkie talkie to detect the dead. Add some capacitors here, some resistances there, adjust the antenna just a bit... and VOILA! The radio waves can detect zombies that are close range.

Content
  • Quality of life improvements
  • Can be activated from the toolbelt. No need to equip it in your primary or secondary.
  • UI element to quickly activate your walkie talkie.
  • New literature to unlock one new recipe.
  • Modify an existing walkie talkie to create an experimental walkie talkie that emits STATIC when zombies are nearby.
  • Takes different floors into consideration, so if zombies are above you, the walkie talkie won't emit a strong static signal.
  • If you want to spawn in and play around with the radio, this is it's ID: Base.ExperimentalWalkieTalkie.

Recent Changes
  • Fixed issue when dropping radio
  • Fixed issue with battery drain
  • Toggle visibility of UI if user has a usable experimental radio
  • UI Color depends on intensity

heyo Monkey i just came around this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877484605&searchtext=item+gps (Item GPS) and then this zed sensor mod of yours, so it just hit me, what about making something like that GPS that scan zeds and emits a sound when are nearby OR (with sandbox customization) a zed radar that shows zeds around like Erin minimap?

WARNING: if you modify the files to play this on B42, it'll make cars totally break so you can't see their HUD.

i made a radio and i'm able to operate it, toggle it on or off and there's a sound cue to indicate that it's functional but it doesn't seem to play any audio when near a zombie, i could be right behind one and nothing. do i need to set it to a certain frequency? any help would be appreciated

I will redo this when B42 drops. This is one of my first mods and it's very badly written. Will rework it with sandbox options so it's all configurable.

I gotta second what the prior comment is saying. The range seems far too short and the only time I ever hear it going off is when a zombie is right next to me or through a wall. And I even have the in-game music disabled!
Silent Hill's radios have maybe a 20-30ft detection range at most, and at the least able to very clearly hear it going off if something was on the opposite end of a large room.

I've tried the mod since I'm going to do a SH run and I could have 2 ways to improve it :

- Putting the static sound louder, because you can't always hear it clearly with the music.

- Increase the range of detection, so the sound could start low, then louder if Z are getting closer.

Actually, the range is so low that you know when Z are on you and it's useful only in interiors or in fog.

Or at least, being able to change range and sound into a menu ingame, or when creating the game ?
