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!

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?
UndeadLokemaniac Feb 17 @ 1:57pm 
@tilarium is right, b42 base has lanterns now.
moesboy Jan 22 @ 9:37am 
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
Geonic49 Jan 9 @ 7:12pm 
@tilarium Except that we cant place it while it's turned on which is extremely stupid :/
tilarium Dec 28, 2024 @ 4:49pm 
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.
PvtRoycewicz Dec 22, 2024 @ 4:26pm 
please update for b42
Crashdown Dec 22, 2024 @ 1:17pm 
Please update for B42!
Gyuseppe Dec 19, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
will this be in B42?

For some reason I can't refuel the Gas lantern even when it's completely empty...
Divine Oct 10, 2024 @ 10:24am 
I cant refuel the lantern unless its completely empty? :(
PiroMraz' Sep 22, 2024 @ 12:35pm 
Literally one of the most useful and atmospheric mods out there!
Thank you very much! :spiffo:

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.
tilarium Aug 2, 2024 @ 2:30pm 
Possible to tone down the spawning? Even with everything set to rare or extremely rare, I still find a large supply of lanterns.
Fabi Jun 23, 2024 @ 11:44pm 
Hello, I sent the Brazilian Portuguese translation of your mod, if you can add it. I would really appreciate it! :spiffo:
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.
Morgan Apr 30, 2024 @ 6:49pm 
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?

Can't for the life of me find one
talent pill Apr 14, 2024 @ 5:39am 
1. please make the lamp a tool, not lighting(so u can store it on tool belt)
2. broken description on russian language
[VG] Shedovv Apr 8, 2024 @ 12:03pm 
@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.
QS Mar 29, 2024 @ 9:13pm 
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
anarko_1 Mar 14, 2024 @ 1:51pm 
best mod ever
Divine Mar 13, 2024 @ 11:16am 
How do i refill the lantern with a gas can in my inventory? The lantern still has 67% fuel left.
overripefetus Feb 29, 2024 @ 2:27pm 
No instructions, don't know if mod is working or not, don't know how to craft lantern either ? Please help
Puff556 Feb 10, 2024 @ 10:49am 
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.
Gensui_Maarten Feb 4, 2024 @ 1:20pm 
@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.
tank Jan 17, 2024 @ 3:17am 
the gas lantern doesn't turn on when placed on the floor.
WastelandCanid Jan 3, 2024 @ 8:35pm 
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.
Natsume Rin Dec 23, 2023 @ 5:43am 
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).
Jane Helldiver Dec 19, 2023 @ 10:27pm 
Does the update for "is world item" allow it to light up when set on the ground?
GestumStage Nov 23, 2023 @ 11:17pm 
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.
Callum Sep 29, 2023 @ 1:06pm 
Do you have any commentated code or tutorials you followed to get this working ? would like to make something similar-ish
Tau Sep 25, 2023 @ 8:43am 
Lantern lights don't seem to be persistent for me and my friends
Bombingham Jul 25, 2023 @ 8:34am 
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
omega_trojan Jul 24, 2023 @ 1:57am 
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. :steamhappy:
amargen Jul 20, 2023 @ 11:04am 
The lantern is great until you put it down: hitting "turn on" gives you a clicking noise, but no light.
EAST Jul 18, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
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?
Viper Jul 15, 2023 @ 7:56pm 
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.
ΣΩΤΗΡ Jul 6, 2023 @ 5:22pm 
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?
