Build 42 Preview 2 (Update)
Download
Link (steam cloud)

Install core files
  • Browse to your Project Zomboid installation directory.
  • Unpack the zombie directory from the zip file and overwrite existing files.

The zip files additionally contains java source files in the 'src' directory, these do not need to be unpacked for the mod to work.

Changes
  • Added config file with various settings.

Customize
To customize the mod create the config file at this location, or download the default and install.
%USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\Lua\ResponsiveZoom\settings.cfg

The mod understand the following settings, these are also the default values if no config is found.

InstantZoom=true ZoomLevels=1000;800;600;400;300;200;175;150;140;130;120;110;90;80;70;60;50;40;30;20;10;9;7;5;3;1 ZoomSpeedMultiplier=1 PanSpeedMultiplier=1.65 PanSpeedDrivingMultiplier=1.65 PanSpeedReturnMultiplier=1 PanSpeedReturnDrivingMultiplier=1

If you have installed the config file before the game has started the mod will detect any changes to it in real time.

Additonal notes on settings:

To revert the mods instant zoom speed (a popular request) simply set InstantZoom=false and optionally set the ZoomSpeedMultiplier to adjust the zoom speed.
ZoomSpeedMultiplier has no effect if InstantZoom=true
ZoomLevels are the zoom levels that will be available to be selected in the UI options menu. The 100% level is always enabled and can not be selected no matter what settings you use.
PanSpeedReturnMultiplier and PanSpeedReturnDrivingMultiplier are additional pan speed modifiers for when the camera is panning back to your character.

If there are any issues post a comment in this thread.

Some grass textures were broken so I changed them (80 or 60)
I hope other users will take note.

installed based on the instructions, added the settings file and the game crashes after brief blackscreen

Every time I restart, the options are reset, is there any way to fix this?

If if there are mod related crashes, provide me with log files from the game. Here's how to generate them: Open a Command Prompt in the installation directory and run the game executable with the following command:

ProjectZomboid64.exe 1>_stdout.txt 2>_stderr.txt
This will create the two log files _stdout.txt and _stderr.txt

EDIT:
There is built in logging to this file which works just as well:
%USERPROFILE%/Zomboid/console.txt

As for the options being reset, I assume you mean the zoom levels specifically? If so I have identified the cause for this and have cooked up a brand new hack to fix it, update to follow.

Also thanks for taking the time to report issues, much appreciated.

thanks for zoom configurability

Just wanted to comment to thank you for this. I dragged the 'zombie' directory in my game directory and it works perfectly. No more sluggish zooming!
Hello! Can someone explain, maybe I missing something, but I can't install the mod on 42b. Replaced all new files and create a folder and draged "settings.cfg" in it, but mod not working. In the mod list in the game I see a red cross near the mod. In description "AVAILABLE ONLY IN DEBUG", but I update it already. Can someone help me with this sh.. problem?) screenshot

This happens because you are subscribed to the workshop item (which right now only contains B41 files). Everything related to the B42 version is manual installation only so it's safe to ignore the workshop item entirely for now.

Disregard anything on the workshop page and the workshop item itself until B42 gets out of unstable, at that point I will update the workshop item and drop support for B41.

P.S. Thanks for the positive comments, you are most welcome everyone.

So I need to unsubscribe now and re-upload the files?

For B42 as of right now it does not matter if you are subscribed or not.
And I just realized I did not put the exact steps to install the core files in this post, so it was not fair to say disregard *everything* on the mod page.
In short, do this:

  • Browse to your Project Zomboid installation directory.
  • Unpack the zombie directory from the zip file and overwrite existing files.
