@inject ty u da best

@Cosmo Yeah, can do. I'll update after the weekend to avoid messing with servers.

Hey @inject simple but useful mod, can u chage the animation for twig broom?

how is this not in vanilla? lol, good job

What happened to the image on the cover?

It's not posted anywhere separately, sorry. I assume that problem will be resolved once the server is updated?

do you have june 4th version of the mod posted anywhere for download, need older version to get into server

Donate a couple of bucks to charity. Should be both 42/41 compatible now.

build 42 when?

@TheThornyKnight I actually really like that idea

Out of curiosity, a friend burnt their old character accidentally and died. Is there an urn in this mod that lets you collect them and put them somewhere? lol

I really like this

Isn't this in the game already in current build??

@Nerdgamedave, thanks for sharing.

nice

100% confirmed to work in MP. I use it on my sever with 450+ mods. no issues, errors or conflicts

It won't be added. Sorry mate. I have no problem if someone wants to take this mod as a basis and do that.

(ZombRand(9) <= 3) would be 40%.

ZombRand generates a number between 0 and the number in the brackets immediately after it, which is compared against the other number.

ZombRand(9) has 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 as possible outcomes, so ten possible outcomes because 0 is included. It will succeed if the number is less than or equal to 3 (so success will be on a 0, 1, 2 or 3), give 4 possible successful outcomes out of 10 possible outcomes total.

It doesn't. If you want to you can mod the mod. I haven't tested this for multiplayer but if you edit ClearAshesAction.lua in notepad, and replace the final function, ISClearAshes:perform() with the following it will give you a 50% chance to recover charcoal when sweeping.

function ISClearAshes:perform()
-- needed to remove from queue / start next.
ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self)
local playerObj = self.character
local playerInv = playerObj:getInventory()
if playerInv:containsEvalRecurse(predicateClearAshes) then
self.ashes:getSquare():transmitRemoveItemFromSquare(self.ashes)
self.ashes:getSquare():getObjects():remove(self.ashes)
if (ZombRand(3) >= 2) then --selects a random number between 0-3 (including 0 itself). Currently has a 50% chance to give charcoal.
playerInv:AddItem("Base.Charcoal")
end
end
end

If you throw corpses on top of a campfire and set them on fire the resulting ash is a pain to clean!!!
right click to clean up the ash it can be hard to get the option to show up, u gotta click like the corner in slightly diff spots so many times to finally have the option appear.

ya that turned out to be a trucker vehicle mod, that noone else in server has found yet...
but i got on admin account than spawned on in myself, switched to test account and took a joy ride waiting to see if i got this error + kick like he did but i did not till the point i got dragged out and eaten >.<

seems it was somekinda VehicleHitZombie Type3 flags and he got kicked form server with somekinda 21 or 22 number showed and something about packets

anyways i could not re-create said error sadly so im waiting to see if anyone else gets it...


getting back on topic >.<
thanks for this mod <3 it was so dumb of devs to remove clean ash action from build41 >.< why would they remove realism, i could have understood if they made it so u needed a bag or something to shovel the ash into & could use it for compost or farm or something but nope totally removed the acton....

@Rainoa I haven't played PZ in a long while but if you couldn't shovel ash any more, it was probably a mod conflict breaking something.

I have no idea how PZ multiplayer anticheat works either tbh but it's a good sign no one else has mentioned anything.

do u need to turn off anti cheat for this mod? after adding this mod + mower mod updated now someone is getting anti cheat triggering alot and kicking him lol?!

i have been wondering about this for a while now, after build 41 i have been unable to shovel ash in vanilla was it removed from vanilla?
if so hello my new mod friend <3

Yes you can already clean ashes in vanilla game with a shovel

@easYplaY no

u can do this without any mod ;)

At this point I don't know what is real any more, but I can say this mod doesn't (intentionally) change what items can clean up ashes. It should be fully compatible with any mods that add properly tagged ash cleaning items.

If you're suddenly able to clean up ashes with a can opener, and you couldn't in vanilla,
and no other mods are enabled, welp, that is a problem and someone should yell at the author.

hi spiderman, there actually is a mod i think it works on rakes and pool cues and even mops too, which can make a spear or stake by breaking those in half, which is quite useful too - i think i subbed to it but forgot what it was called

Hey i was tired when i asked about the rake lol but i wont question using a rake to sweep up ashes if u wont question 100 zombies piled onto a campfire turning into tiny piles of ash in 5 secs lol.

Anyway ya it was a mistake on my part as i legit thought it said rake but ya all is good :)

Yes, you can clean ashes with a shovel in vanilla, BUT that's not the point. This mod makes it 100x easier to clear tons of ashes. I usually burn down the town's population and the ashes everywhere slow down my game and looks ugly.

This mod makes cleaning multiple piles really quick, similar to how you can go into "cut down tree" mode. Thank you

maybe its a flattened rake, where you have to push forward only, and it acts like a broom sweeping via the flat base of the rake :)

@Slider-man, The first line of the description mentions sweeping. The image of the mod depicts someone with a shovel. No where does it mention a rake. Why did you land on a rake for the job of cleaning up ash? Can you imagine how difficult it would be to rake ash up in any effective way with a toothed garden implement? I don't usually comment on anything, but this one threw me for a loop.

im on MP btw.

This still works? Tried it and i dont get option with rake in inventory or right clicking, any mods known to conflict with it?

так эту гадость можно кувалдой ломать, если я не ошибаюсь

Thanks for this! Brooms finally have some purpose.

yes it works in multiplayer

Anyone can confirm if work on mp?

(yeah hehe, someone even made a mod to specifically allow you to break a broom in half, to make stakes or something :)

So a) I forgot shovels can clean up ashes in Zomboid,
b) that doesn't matter, shovels work fine in this mod, thanks item tag system, and
c) give a poor broom a home, come on, they are severely underrated in the apocalypse.

you can literally use a shovel what a waste of bleach

Alternatively... you can use a shovel..

that's sweet, way more convenient than usual time ;)

@LambdaWyset You can clean up ashes with a broom in vanilla, no bleach required, but you had to right click -> clean ashes on every single square.

I'll bring you into the 21st century, mate .

IDK what that means tbh.

isn't 1993 in the 20th century?

i think u can just use bleach and broom to clean ashes without mod, same for bloods, if im not wrong

@Deathhead Yeah you can put it in a modpack. I'm not fussed about credit.

Doesn't say anything against it, you should be fine

Do you mind if I put this mod in a modpack for my server? I'll credit you and link this page.
