Thank you for responding

Skillfully constructing them is much faster. That's all. Material resource cost is identical (1 starter kit or the basic components defined in the singleplayer original version of this mod by Norby long ago).

Whats the difference between constructing one normally and skillfully

Be aware that I have heard on some dedicated servers an auto-shutdown mod has been known to create a file that prevents sandbox options for a mod from being updated once they've been loaded, so if the setting doesn't work, be sure to try on a fresh server to make sure you don't have a config issue. If it works on a fresh server with just this + Lifestyle and the setting enabled, it should work on dedi as well unless you have a significant config or save file issue like the one I just described.

@Burryaga will try tomorrow ^-^

@Kappa Did you try visiting mod's sandbox options to enable Lifestyle integrations?

@Gary the Goat, i have the same problem, did you fix in someway ?

Did you try this mod's sandbox options? The mode of stopping Lifestyle music could have changed in the time since I've looked at it, but this mod has integration options in the sandbox that used to allow it to turn off Lifestyle music when True Music Jukebox music begins, and vice versa. I do not know if that still works because I haven't been doing much public modding lately and haven't caught up on Lifestyle's development in a long time, so you would need to try that and let me know. The integration is off by default so you need to know how to manage your sandbox options to do this. Feel free to reach out on Discord for extra help if this isn't enough info for you to figure it out.

Hi, I am encountering a problem, I don't know if it's a conflict with the two of my mods.

I am using this mod, plus the Lifestyle Hobbies mod. But when I use both they display two "turn on jukebox" and when using the first one it plays an endless loop of songs, and can't be turned off. I don't want to choose one or the other mod. So is there a possible fix for this?

In this mod, music can be managed through either the context menu or the inventory menu (by interacting with individual True Music items in the jukebox container).

You're thinking of Lifestyle: Hobbies. It adds a lot more than a functional jukebox, but jukebox music with a UI is one of its features. I do not believe it works by physically loading the music items you find, but that may have changed since I last saw that mod. It just loads up access to all of your installed True Music automatically.

so i believe i used this mod a while back and in that version (if it was this mod) there was a ui for the jukebox. just curious if im misremembering or if there was an update that took the ui out of the mod

No need for a new save, but any jukeboxes you turn on will remain containers when you remove the mod, because we used vanilla tools to turn jukeboxes into vanilla containers to handle loading tracks.

does it need a new save or can i just install and still play with it in the same save?

That said, it does not appear to be private or unlisted to me now.

The MP cache is for multiplayer listening to True Music tape players and the like; this mod sync music in its own way. That said, I know B41 pushed an update, so if anything weird happens involving use of this mod without that cache, it's possible the update bricked something.

I don't but it shouldn't be strictly necessary. It's possible he pulled the mod when the update to B41 happened because he doesn't want to deal with possible ramifications.

so this works for me but im getting a error on the TCCCacheMP says its private or unlisted. anyone know why?

This mod hasn't been updated in forever and has never done that for us, so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you're using this alongside Lifestyle and this is either a new bug in Lifestyle OR a conflict with a new version of Lifestyle, resulting in our music and their music playing simultaneously. This mod hasn't been updated since the release of B42's early testing alpha.

i turned the jukebox off and back on. now i have to sound effects in game -_-

You can increase the range of a jukebox to make it audible throughout a server if you want

I have not tried it yet, but is it possible to listen to the jukebox even though I'm no where near it? Is that what the keys are for or is that just a way to change its settings from far away? is there a volume option so i can always hear the jukebox?

thank you for this beautiful mod, being able to set the jukebox to do it's thing while reading books or working on cars makes the game so much fun.

it's way more immersive than turning on youtube, and but not tedious like constantly swapping tapes.

Unless the servers reporting that this still works are using a private legacy version of Lifestyle, I have to imagine that nothing in Lifestyle fundamentally changed to break this interaction, and this mod obviously hasn't needed any updates since the last major Lifestyle update.

If updating sandbox options doesn't change that behavior, you likely have a server issue, possibly caused by Udderly Up-to-Date, preventing sandbox options from taking on new values after the server already exists. There is a file that mod creates that shouldn't exist on dedicated servers that prevents updates to sandbox options from working. Beyond that, I have no idea, as others in Discord have noted that the feature still works for them.

Ive noticed on some servers you have the option to Dance in the right click menu and you get experience for it. i have both your mod and the lifestyles mod installed. but even toggling the music required to dance on and off, i cannot figure out how to get the dance option into my right click mouse and how to gain experience from it. is that something that is adjusted in your mod or lifestyle? i know the Bang server has dance menu in the right click

(This mod has no musical tastes or effects of having them. It just enables you to play your music through the Jukebox.)

You're talking about Lifestyle Hobbies, not True Music Jukebox - and no.

it's possible to create a mod to pick/chose your favorite musical preference at character creation? or musical taste? as you preffer to call it.

True Music Radio sort of does that already, but it has you use a radio station terminal to load tracks instead of using a jukebox. It will play your station through all of the in-game radios in every situation, as far as I know.

Maybe I just did a poor job searching and maybe its a big ask, but is there anyway you can do the same thing with stereos in vehicles? more specifically being able to load multiple cassettes or being able to set one jukebox as a radio station instead of the keys thing?

Passersby: I have adjusted the titles of the Workshop pages to make it as clear as possible which version of TMJ is for the build you play.

When Build 42 is stable with multiplayer support and most players migrate to it, we'll delist the B41 page (i.e., this page) and rename the B42 version to reflect that it is the only supported version.

I did virtually nothing this update. I literally deleted duplicate files that seemed unnecessary. Praise Norby. I would not have touched this mod for months.

<3 Glad you're having fun BDZ.

Everyone, praise Norby because that madman updated this mod for B42 if anyone is playing that solo while we wait for B42 multiplayer to drop.

In the interest of NOT unnecessarily pushing updates for the stable Build 41 version of this mod just to make it work for Build 42 (which almost nobody who joined Project Zomboid for multiplayer is playing yet), we have separated the versions.

True Music Jukebox for Build 42 can be found here.

Jam on, melophiles.

Bad mod...stayed up until around 4:30am dancing around my base and was very tired the next day. Not recommended!

Seriously though, this is the ultimate True Music music player for your base...insanely good!

I got everything I can think of ready for b42, just want to make sure Burryaga is cool with it first. Thankfully due to his very skilled abilities it was the easiest thing to transfer so far.

TMRadio is live, looking at the Jukebox now to see what blows up.

@Piment the object you are looking for is called a CD player friend. I know, far before your time!

Another wrench in things is that we may need an entirely new music system in B42. All of the True Music packs depend on B41 True Music, which means a lot of servers that are accustomed to having this or that great B41 music pack will no longer be able to use it until first True Music is updated, and then the pack is updated to properly use the new version.

It may be the case that another modder steps forward and drops a completely new way to upload music tracks before B42 True Music exists.

There are too many unknowns for me to want to update yet, but, eventually, maybe.

I don't know about Norby's plans to update it for singleplayer, but for me it really depends on the overall final quality of B42 and how much it makes me want to come back to the game. I haven't been playing lately and B42 does not yet have multiplayer and also seems to continue to have unfinished controller support. I never really play Project Zomboid singleplayer, and I don't know how much energy I'll have for continuing to mod it if I immediately find myself wanting to write controller support mods.

will we have this masterpiece updated to B42?

Perhaps try True Music Radio.

I'd love to see a mobile version of this, like an iPod of sorts... I'm constantly moving around the map and having a static jukebox wouldn't really work for my playstyle.

Never got around to implementing that. Other things would probably come first if I had more time and energy for modding. I don't want to say what things, because I don't want people to get their hopes up that I will actually do them before I'm in the ground, but they would have been more immediately useful than that.

I did add functions for only adding unique True Music tracks to your jukebox, so you can always use that shortcut to prevent yourself from loading unplayables.

Loading unplayable content is ultimately harmless because it will be skipped.

@Burryaga I can confirm that Jukebox Therapy works xD

Also, I was wondering, it may be on my end, but I want to ask nevertheless, is there a way to make the Jukebox only be able to hold both cassettes and vinyls? I can put any type of item in there -w-.

To anyone who believes Jukebox Therapy is not working: please be patient with it and ensure you are not confusing Moodles. You will only recover when a song changes, and only if it's been a few minutes since your last recovery (2000 in-game ticks to be precise). Also, be sure you are not confusing Exhausted with Depressed and expecting the happiness recovery to remove the Exhausted Moodle, because that is not its purpose.

I have just thoroughly tested this, and I know the function has confused some people recently, but it IS working.

I've never looked at how playable CD music is formatted so I honestly don't know. If you can connect a CD item type directly to a full-length music file, then probably yes without a ton of trouble. If the CD audio is broken into fragments of sound files or something, then the implementation would get a little more complicated. I am not modding right now but anyone is welcome to take a crack at a patch. The mod is easily patchable if it's used as a dependency.

hey one more question: is it possible to let the jukebox also play CDs?

alright thanks. keep on rockin :)

You can build them by finding a jukebox starter kit in a lot of places, but there are some in bars and modded safehouses and the big house on the river by Louisville with the big garage, just to name a few places to find one naturally.

where do the jukeboxes spawn i wonder? I'm in Rosewood and didn't find it in the bar or restaurant. Any other places i should look for?
