It takes ingame hours and gives little experience. Even with books nothing really progresses.

Does the mod work on B40? (MP)

Hey there!

I took your awesome mod and made a slight fork of it to be a little more flexible and integrate with the Antiserum mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2523485011

You can now use many more tools, there's no requirement that the journal or tool be in your main inventory, and instead of dirty rags you earn Antiserum vials (from https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2127326898)

mod works for me, except the last two levels - no exp there, seems intentional tho cause OP med journal

As of writing this, I have found that you must have the medical journal and either a kitchen knife or hunting knife (no other knife will work, I've found) in you main inventory when you examine the corpse to gain exp. If the knife or journal are in one of your bags (like your backpack), then you'll perform the action but gain no exp. This will likely be resolved in the next update, but until then, try to keep this in mind if you're not getting any exp.

Is this mod no longer working? Not getting First Aid progress anymore

known issues with mod?
TurtleShroom 15 Aug, 2020 @ 11:58am 
Does this Mod still work?

I'm having an issue where I'm not getting first aid gains upon completing an examination. Not sure what the problem would be. Pretty sure I was getting them for levels 1/2 but not at all for 3/4. Used experience books on both.

Came back after a save and reload after reading some similar problems below and I'm getting gains once again.

Mad science here I come!

I wish there was a mass examine option... pick up corpse, examine, pick up corpse, examine, repeat - I hate it.
Barnabas Ballins 17 Nov, 2019 @ 1:41pm 
nvm, save/reload fixed
Barnabas Ballins 17 Nov, 2019 @ 1:39pm 
Mod was working fine for 41 up until today, something stopped my progress

This appears to be working on BUILD 41.15 IWBUMS but it does throw errors.
Ihmislehma 3 Apr, 2019 @ 3:17pm 
Made the journal, examined corpse. No First Aid Gain, not sure if I should read the journal afterwards, at least there is no option to.

I will take a look Tux
[501st] 1Lt. Blightwall 22 Feb, 2019 @ 6:36pm 
yeah...pretty sure i did it right. i think...so far, nothing. not even the option to make the journal.

@mattb224

name = Aprenda Primeiros Socorros examinando Zumbis mortos
description = Aprenda Primeiros Socorros sem se machucar.
Medical Journal = Jornal Médico
Examine Corpse = Examinar cadáver

I think it's just it. If it has any more lines, send me please.
mattb224  [author] 19 Feb, 2019 @ 11:30am 
sure! I would love that!

status on an update?

Matt, to respond to shawdaowCops thing, I know the issue and the solution. The issue is that it gives you the option to examine the corpse while the stuff for it is in your backpack and it doesn't equip. Also. I wouldn't say cap it. Here is my suggestion. Instead, make it so you can only use it from level 5+, make it so the speed of the interaction increases with medical level. Because frankly, at level 9 I should be able to process it quicker then i was level 4. Also, lower the EXP yes, because it gives you a metric fuck ton of skill points. I got 50 skill points from going through like 15 corpses. Can I add you on steam and keep talkinga bout it?
mattb224  [author] 21 Sep, 2018 @ 9:07am 
I agree, I should lower the XP per level and perhaps cap at 5 or 6, hmmm. Ideas welcome! Also, I need to implement what shawdowCop suggested! Thanks all!

Good Afternoon,
As someone who plays the doctor with a group of people, I can say that this mod is amazing. However, It's a little broken. You get a 8x modifer thanks to a book and you are earning 1200-1500 EXP a corpse.And I'm only at level 6. This will stack even more as I get to higher levels. Is there a way to balance this on the server or client?
Many Thanks

Hello, I lately had a bug with XP regarding this mod. If I have a knife in my hiking bag and no other knife in my inventory, I was still able to use corpse and they even give me 3 bandages, but I got no xp. Only when I put the knife in the players inventory I got the XP points?
My offer is to modify the code in a way, that you can right click on corpse lying on the ground. If you want to examine them the player would automatically equip the best knife in the left hand and the medical journal in the right hand. So if I write the code and send it to you, would you update your mod?
mattb224  [author] 17 Jul, 2018 @ 8:10am 
yep, just makes sure everything is in the main inventory!
Davi 17 Jul, 2018 @ 1:46am

@BloodyAstartes It's been a long time, but you can't get zombified from a windows scratch. You can get infected, in this case you just have to disinfect it and it will pass.
I take time to answer this because that's the kind of "legend" I often read x).
mattb224  [author] 20 Feb, 2018 @ 7:10pm 
yep. I will test it again when the vehicle mod is released
Arikuroshi 20 Feb, 2018 @ 9:31am 
Does it still work?
VenANON 21 Jan, 2018 @ 3:39am 
This is an excellent mod that makes senses and doesn't break immersion. Props to you for making a way to increases medical in a sensible way. However, I do propose a level cap since there is only so much you can learn from autopsy. Either way, I'm glad this mod exist in the first place.
SolarFlare1234 2 Jan, 2018 @ 12:41pm 
10/10 based on the picture alone

Niiiice. Lol just the other day I was looking at my level .00003 First Aid skill and thinking... I'm fucked if anything serious happens... I was planning on just jumping through broken windows for a while... but one time I got zombified from a window scratch... so i was gonna use the "spiffo item blessing or curse" Mod... but then mt first try i got cursed and only had 10 bandages on me and bled out in 15 seconds... soooooo.... ya. Now I can just use real life mechanics. I guess i could still try jumping through a plate glass door to get splinters...
Zero_Cool 30 Dec, 2017 @ 9:10pm 
Mod is working great! Just make sure you have everything in your main inventory, you can still examin the corpse with items in your backpack, but you will not get the xp! So make sure everything is in your main inventory!
mattb224  [author] 26 Dec, 2017 @ 8:31am 
Thanks for your help Zero_Cool! Happy Holidays and a good new year to you!
