@OgnirRats thanks again. I see now. Lets see if i can fix it.

- boombox and vinyl player errors

@OgnirRats Thank you very much! If there is anything i need to change from my side let me know. I will test placing items - i didnt test this to be honest :D

@Rachel L scroll down the comments, someone recently asked this.

It's a setting in the ADDON mod that actually adds the music, not the base mod (which is this).

How does one lower the ammount of music that spawns when usiing other mods? I keep finding places with 3+ tapes

im updating the template for easier use of function.I keep encountering an error and traced it back to true music b42, specifically upon opening the mods custom items, both the boombox and vinyl playr. Seemingly encountering the error when the item is first placed on the ground, upon opening the device option menu (then slightly shifting player to reload containers around you) produces a phantom container with what looks like a speaker icon. Relatively harmless minus the fact that it seems to spawn randomized loot (seems junk table), and throwing up an error for missing igui tittle for tcmusic.

@turky_jery look at the discussions above the comments. It's a setting you can change in-game.

how would one turn down the sound of the radio static its SUPER loud and i got no clue how to either turn it down or off entirely

Thank you for your reply. I currently have severely crashes in my current run and I dont know if I am able to fix them, but I was able to locate the error log and will post it under the discussion thread from a user named Hunter. Seems that others experience the error too.

The workshop ID from the mod you posted on this site is
Version: 2.15
Workshop ID: 2613146550
Mod ID: truemusic

But I found it unter the ID: 3397198968 in the mods folder because the ID you posted here doesnt exist in my folder. Thanks for the help.

If I cannot recover my save file, I have to downgrade back to build 41 again. Sad to loose a playthrough just because of chunk errors but on the other side, your mod will be working again. Never had a problem with true music on build 41.

@Kris we can investigate your problem. Please open a Discussion and post the logs of you session.

So please share the full error log from C:\Users\YourName\Zomboid\console.txt or C:\Users\YourName\Zomboid\Logs , including any "Caused by" details? (look for logs files named "2025-08-17_18-04_DebugLog.txt" as example).

this would help a lot.

Also please explain "Somehow the Workshop ID is different (3397198968)" i dont understand why it is diffrent.

How do you change how much each tape weighs?

Thank you for your reply. Somehow the Workshop ID is different (3397198968) and I changed the settings and doubled it. Could not find the Boombox. I spawned them in dev mode and encountered another strange problem. After spawning the items, I restarted without dev mode and put a cassette in a box and turned it on. So far so good... but after that I was not able to open the device options nor was able to pick it up again. You cannot select it anymore. I have to uninstall the mod and hope the Box will disappear because I have now a unselectable Boombox play a 30 minute mixtape. I am not writing this for critizising, rather to give an information about this happening. Maybe others have encountered the same?

@Dr.Maggozer spawnrates of casettes is done in the Truemusic Addon MOD. Not by this MOD.

Hey i'm not sure if ive done something wrong or maybe there's a simple fix im just not seeing but i was wondering if there's a way to lower the spawnrates of casettes? Every building i look in will have like 10+ in every wardrobe and drawer in a house.

@Kris look for ~*\TrueMusic_b42\media\lua\server\Items\TCLoading.lua
This file is responsable for spawnrates of the players. Just increase the number.

like this:

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["LivingRoomShelfNoTapes"].items, "Tsarcraft.TCVinylplayer")
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["LivingRoomShelfNoTapes"].items, 2) -- from 0.5 to 2

I really like this mod and I dont know if its just bad luck, but despite finding some cassettes from other music mods, I have not found in over 30 days a single Boombox or VinylPlayer (havent found Vinyls too). I play on the map mod Raven Creek which was updated to Build 42. Is there something I have to do or is it just bad luck? The loot spawn is normal or rare and I would love listen to the cassettes I have (the cassettes in the cars are there, that tells me the mod is working) but I cannot find a Boombox.

@scrappy coco I tried the new update and is now working fine, no more errors. Thank you for your hardwork

@Kust5 did you use
Workshop ID: 3412040570 - True Music B42 Add on Template by OgnirRats (your music)
to add your music?

check the comments from this mod. look for this comment from xXSWXx.

xXSWXx:
Hi peeps! I got it to works, here's what I did to help you folks;
1. Subscribe to True Music B42 by Scrappy Coco and this one here.
2. Follow instruction here , BUT DO NOT OPEN THE GAME YET (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DZghSBPOy4&ab_channel=Tsar%27sStories)
3. Open this mod in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3412040570\mods\True Music Addon Template b42\42\media\yourMusic.
4. Unpack zip in same folder \yourmusic (yourmusic.zip and OgnirsTools)
5. Add Music in Ogg, wav, or mp3 format to both tcboombox and tcvinylplayer.
6. You can add jpg for vinyl covers. Use cover_creator.exe to create jpg that match tracks.
7 .Run AddYourMusicToTheMod.exe (NOTICE THAT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING BUT LET IT RUN)
....

@Ruru fixed, please try again.

@scrappy coco I did everything as you said and was surprised. The cassettes from the mods that add them really work fine. BUT. All the music that I download myself still does not appear in the game. What is my problem, please help me

this error pops when I right click, I saw your update today, i unsub and resub your mod to see if its fix but I am getting this error, at some place when I click my inventory it shows me a an inventory for the boombox, if I am to place any item on it and grab then place it on the floor, items will dissappear, idk if its intentional or not but it isn't working

sorry its not allowing me to paste all at once so had to divide, idk this was on my debug log

Also, let me know what you were doing when the error popped up (e.g., right-clicking a Walkman) This'll help me pinpoint and fix the issue

changelog updated

I didnt asked if there was, i asked what was the update? As there is no changelog :p

@Rachel L dont know what time zone you are in. But yes there was an update :).
@Kust5 this is a Music Addon issue, you need Music Addons for b42 aswell, using old b41 music packs might not work. As Švedski Šved iz Švedske said

get -> Cassette Addons.

true music cassette megapack <----- Workshop ID: 3068955583
B42 Time Period accurate music <----- Workshop ID: 3407139462


mod order:

casette mods
TM42
TSAR's

this should fix this. im using B42 Time Period accurate music myself, and there are so many cassettes.

What was today update?

@scrubdaddy There's a B42 template for true music on the workshop, I'd start there, and if that doesn't work idk how to help you.

It seems SOME casette packs don't work even though they should, I'm not sure why, I might also be wrong as I didn't extensively test this.

Dear creator of the mod. My music does not appear in the game (I see through the debug items). I do everything as it should be (I used troe music b41 before). Tell me, maybe I need to do something else here that I don't understand so that my music at least appears in the game as an item???!

@Švedski Šved iz Švedske

That's not what i mean, what i'm trying to do is add my own custom music not some premade music addon...

@Scrub Daddy make sure to add music cassette mods,

true music cassette megapack and B42 Time Period accurate music work for me

mod order:

casette mods
TM42
TSAR's

Does custom singleplayer music work? cuz i did it and i have no custom music in game

Very nice! No worries :)

Ok sorry works perfect :) thx

fresh download ---->

I have unsubscribe and subscribe twice, i still get the error on right clic

@Ashbay please make sure you got new version. Fresh download. but im checking again.

@Švedski Šved iz Švedske i thought about this today, maybe i can add some people to this project, so fixes can applied by somebody else than me.
Maybe github? I dont know to honest. I need to think, maybe i can find a good solution here.

@scrappy coco

Thanks again for the work you do, how do-able would you say it is to maintain this mod going onwards? Somehow I doubt the Ukraine war will be over any time soon, nor the sanctions on Russia. So I have doubts if irbus will ever come back to maintain these mods.

Finally no more click errors. Much appreciated Scrappy and a special thanks to Mohtools for trying to get me the specifics for the band aid fix

@Švedski Šved iz Švedske nope not needed anymore. Should work fine now.
@chut527 Very nice! :)

@scrappycoco so no manual fixes needed now? Bless you for the time you take to fix this up.

Thanks.

Thanks. Not getting any right click errors.

okay should be fixed now

updated, rightclicking on walkman working now. No errors my side. Please confirm.

fixed. testing now
