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?

Thank you so much for confirming that.

@Thunder Based on Andy's test, it sounds like you have a conflict or a configuration issue. Please contact me on Discord for more detailed help.

The second I turned on the jukebox, 1 level (Plain Moodle Mod) of Boredom disappeared.

I've enabled HappinessRecovery to 80.0 and left all other settings the same. I will report back if things stop working. Thanks again for the help.

You got it. I am always dealing with Boredom while organizing my base so I will enable therapy and set BoredomRecovery to 80.0.

I will leave the device off and allow some boredom to accumulate and report what happens once I turn it on.

I've left all other recovery options set to 0.0 for this test. I'll keep you posted but let me know if you think I should tweak any of these settings.

Yes it does. And please let me know if boredom recovery is working as expected; it did last I tested, but one comment suggests perhaps I messed it up in an update. (Not sure how, but I try to keep an open mind to things that might have gone wrong.) If you enable sandbox options and increase boredom recovery and it works, please let me know, as it would save me time testing what Thunder suggested below.

Was just telling some people on my server how cool this would be, and then boom - here it is. Awesome stuff!

One question about sandbox options, does enableJukeboxTherapy need to be enabled for something like jukeboxBoredomRecovery to work?

Thanks again for making this.

Have you tried playing with the amount recovered? If so, I can take a look and double-check that it still works as expected.

The Jukebox Therapy doesnt seem to reduce boredom levels. Unhappiness and stress is working fine.

Please contact me on Discord for help with that @Helper Scum. We could be going back and forth a lot to get to the bottom of it.

For some reason, I can only sometimes get the "dance" option for true actions to pop up, and although I can always hit Q and pick a specific dance.. It in the mod options I can enable random styles of dancing anytime, but I don't know how, and the I turn off the option that forces you to hear a true music jukebox to dance.

That is beyond the scope of the mod, unfortunately. Although it would be technically possible, I would not feel comfortable hiding angry's UI from True Music Jukebox, because that could cause some uninformed users on multiplayer servers to falsely believe his UI is not working due to something in my mod. I would encourage you to reach out respectfully and patiently to angry about your desire to use Lifestyle's Sims-like features without the Jukebox stuff, and ask if he is open to adding a sandbox option to disable that side of Lifestyle in the future.

Alternatively, if you are playing solo, locally editing your mod files is allowed as long as you do not reupload your edits without a modder's permission, and you could fairly easily hide the Lifestyle UI that way.

Fantastic mod. Is there a way to disable the Lifestyle buttons on it? I want it to only play vinyls that are inside it. But lifestyle allows every song immediately.

Wow! its really nice mod ^^ thx

That is a personal issue on the part of either the server or the connecting client (most likely the client if most people can join the server just fine). They may need to verify game files, and they may need to resub to all mods, and they may need to manually clear their downloaded mod data from the folders where that gets stored. Please reach out to Project Zomboid mod support on the official Discord server or add Burryaga on Discord and DM me for help. Your issue has nothing to do with this mod; the error can occur with any mod.

this mod says update required when trying to join a server. i dont understand why...there are other people playing on the server.

It clicked, I understand now.. Thank you very much!

They do work together, by the way, if you have both.

You're just confusing True Music Jukebox and Lifestyle: Hobbies. They both let you play music from the jukebox, but they work a little differently. Lifestyle is meant to be a Sims-overhaul mod and has many quirks that go with that theme. True Music Jukebox is purely for music and all of its features are intended to make listening to music efficient and enjoyable. We have an optional custom sound system that doesn't only play the music into only one of your ears.

Your mistake is very common. No worries.

Hm yes, you're right, I should've had a look at screenshots. Doing so I discovered there is a difference in our menus from the ones at the screenshot. Granted we haven't found any cassettes yet, but we added music packs. Infact we have a whole new set of options in the jukebox menu thats not from your mod I believe.

One comes through selecting a genre in the addon list
The rest I have to make a playlist to get access to the new music
Here is what it looks like for me: https://imgur.com/qs7gZ3r , https://imgur.com/12ltezB.png

There must've been something I've done wrong along the way, let me recheck the mods.

I recommend referring to the screenshots in addition to reading the mod page to understand everything it can do.

Pausing is unfortunately not possible. Shuffling and skipping are available via many of the menus added by the mod, as well as creating queues.
