Could you please update this to fix the bug with the Smoker trait? Half of the people on our server run that trait and we'd love to use this mod, but it causes us to go through our cigarettes way too fast.

Can confirm Shal's bug report! The mod only makes a check if noise is being played aloud. If youre using headphones it wont make a check until you make noise. Perhaps the mod could instead check if the player can hear it instead of if the player is making noise? Im not sure.

god tier mod that improves immersion by 1000%. so good it should be in the base game

works real nice. But doesn't work with the true music radio mod i don't think. will still work with tapes and vinyls tho

Are you using any other mods that reduce stress? I found the same issue with several others.

Nope, applied the fix and im still getting max stress.

Also waitting for smoker fix.

Also found a different bug in this mod: if you're listening to a music player with headphones, you don't seem to be creating any world sound, so this mod only triggers when your character does something else that makes noise. If you're just standing around listening to music from the player, or listening while you read, this mod has no effect. You'd need to shout every ten minutes to get it to make its check.

You wonderful man. I'll look into applying this soon.

Nope, the bug is real. I've been experiencing the same issue with music maxing out stress, so I checked it out in debug mode. I figured out how to recreate the smoker stress spike bug running only this mod, its dependencies, and a music library mod, and how to fix it.

I'm not sure if it's a bug in the base game or just unexpected a badly named function, but when you use setStress(), you are actually setting the stress to the sum of the given stress value and the character's current stressFromCigarettes. So if the character has 0.5 stressFromCigarettes and you try to setStress to a value 0.1 lower than the current stress, you end up increasing it by 0.4 instead.

So you just need to change

stats:setStress(stats:getStress() - SandboxVars.TrueMusicMoodImprovement_stressMod)

to

stats:setStress(stats:getStress() - stats:getStressFromCigarettes() - SandboxVars.TrueMusicMoodImprovement_stressMod)

works fine for me, probably a mod incompatibility on your end

Tried this mod and instead of feeling better, my character got max stress repeatedly. Can you fix this issue please? I would really really love to use this.
I use the Drop That Cigarette mod, just in case, this might be useful to you. Thank you!

Worked fine when I last played in May

does it still work?

The music jukebox integrated their own music improves mood (Called it "therapy")
True music is radio is a little harder to tackle... Unsure how to approach that just yet.

I've been unable to reproduce the max stress issue @Humble_Lion and @mista have been experiencing.

Nada, you don’t see any popups. (That’d get really annoying since you listen to music a LOT)

If you want to guarantee it’s working, use debug to see your stats and the boosted improvement when music is playing.

Heyo, I see this mod is being actively discussed, so I gave it a go to see if it would work- was way bummed out to see true music mod itself turned off the mood booster factor for music.

Should I expect the little text pop-up like v boredom like with vanilla usage of music? I was testing it earlier but it didnt seem to trigger anything after a half hour of in-game time.

I'm really hoping I can get this to work, it'd be so nice to explore old music like this!

I hope you get it in more of a stable position. I have this downloaded and updooted, but I'm waiting for some update text saying it's basically bugs free. Good mod, I really want to use it.

Can confirm, I'm getting the max stress issue. Got the smoker trait, dunno if that affects it. I remember on a previous save (before march) I didnt have this issue at all.

oh i use default settings but for some reason when u play music u get max stress

Are you sure you didn't change the config settings and invert the stress?

yeah even my friend in MP also get stress when for example we play a cassete in the car

Thats... interesting. I'll look into that sometime.

i get stress when im a smoker and listen to music for some reason

WHOAH! That's an awesome looking mod.
Yeah unfortunately not, maybe in the future.

I take it that this doesn't work with True Music Radio either

I'll look into it next time I get the itch to zomboid (May be a while)
If anyone else coding capable sees this and wants to make the addition let me know!

Could you also make it so this works with the True Music Jukebox? Great mod by the way!

i think its not working

It's working, just unlisted for a bit as was working out stuff with the original author

So it´s not working anymore?

Soon I will be able to keep my character completely calm and focused as I blast War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" out of my 88' Volvo Sedan while blasting into hordes of the ravenous undead with my Mossberg 590.

i really wanna know how chris chan music doesn't increase stress

oh, nice

It was one of the top results for "cat listening to music" on google lol

yeah me too, thats adorable

first im gonna need to know where that thumbnail comes from i NEED it
