Would love an update to B42 for this mod if you have the time

Fix is one liner, my friend :)

Planing to update mod for B42. Open to suggestions about materials, skills, and recipe requirements.

@sir Evans Yes, its know issue, thanks for reminding, will add it into description. Tbh, its very easy to fix, had update ready, but never pushed it. I already moved to B42 and dont want to update without testing.

Seems like converting premium radio to AC removes its ability to play CDs

is this mod still working?

*borat* very nice

any chance you'd consider making an AC/DC (not the band) radio when you have the time? i have a habit of cutting off my generator when i don't need heat/light but still want to hear people scream over the airwaves as they get eaten.

@magus yes, activate the mod on your save (or new game) and you will have recipes to connect radios to the grid.

yes

Is this a plug and play mod?

sorry that is what i meant. as in lo longer moved while its plugged in. my apologies for being lazy with english. thanks

@Jungfaha in real life we can unplug devices go to another room and plug it there.
Having radios unmovable would create additional trouble for people who want to rearange their base. Radio would need to be either dismantled or destroyed with a sledge. And new radio would need to be crafted to place in new spot.
Are you using mod on the server or on singleplayer game?

Please keep it Real-Sim and once plugged in aka connected to grid the item may no longer be moved. thanks :)

@exaraj thats the way it should be. You wouldn't be able IRL to connect your phone charger to the outlet and walk around your whole house with phone in hand.
Thought, it can be modded, if more people need that.

@vsnegupal sorry for late reply, but sure, go ahead if still needed.

Greetings. Can you please give me permission to include this mod in the modpack for my personal server? There will be a link to this mod in the modpack description, and I will always be in touch for original mod authors. You can post your approval/disapproval here or in private messages.

There's a problem with the walkie-talkies. Once they are connected with the grid, they can't be assigned to the belt anymore. Is there a way to rectify this?

@SirPhoenixBlood I doubt that this mod is the culprit, but i will check it out. Do you use other mods? Are you playing on unstable 41.78?

i think is mod is making any radio station mute but still show the text the text is alway gray out and station that have effect dont give the effects anymore

Unstable 41.78 version adjusted walkie talkies, so this mod will get updated to have similar values as vanilla. Walkie talkies got their weight reduced.

The only time i run into that error when hosting a game locally is when i have the same mod in
"steamlibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\" and "%userprofile%\Zomboid\Workshop\"

@Joe78man I hope that you found a way to solve your problem. Im not very familiar with servers, mod wasnt updated for a long time, so host version shouldnt be different from players version. Try checking guides here on steam, there was one which helped to solve similar problem with servers.

Just tried hosting a server and there is an error:
File doesn't match the one on the server: (I'm hosting from the game, not dedicated)
media/scripts/RadioToGrid.txt
steamlibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2001719506\mods\RadioToGrdi\media\scripts\RadioToGrid.txt
Any clue? it works fine in single player

I must have missed something or reloading the game made a change because I have the option now

@Joe78man from description above: "Electrical level 1 is needed and few resources (2x electronic scrap, 1 electric wire) and you need to have screwdriver."
You can also check crafting window and search there. This way is useful when you not sure what you are missing (missing items are in grey instead of white, missing skills are in red).

Any particular way to convert the radio to grid powered? right clicking it in the inventory does not offer the option. Removed batteries and no luck so far. I tried with the premium valu tech (pink fat one, this plays cds) and valu tech (black square one). I have the resources in my inventory as well

@Joe78man Thanks for sharing. Those are valid points.

CD players were stationary before the diskman was invented, I had one (I'm 43). Premium Technologies Radio plays CDs (just checked the wiki) and it looks like those which were plugged to AC. It's the one you can place on surfaces.
May be Tactical and US Army walkies would have charging stations, but the rest wouldn't so IMO shouldn't (just being precise here, not that I want to prove my case to the court to have a judge make you change your mod, it's always up to you, and thank you for your collaboration)

Walkietalkies had charging stations even back then.
CD players arent implemented in this mod, becaause it was written when they werent functioning. But there were radios with cassetes and cd players in 93, i think.

CD players should't be connectable either. Those are devices that had no option to do so

Great! I didn't undestand why there were no radio connected and only batteries dependant. Now...walkietalkies should not be connected

I found the file in the mod directory here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2001719506\mods\RadioToGrid\media\scripts\RadioToGrid.txt

Great Mod. Thank you for making it.

For anybody who is impatient as I was and can't wait for an update that fixes the "CD player bug" concerning the red premium tech radio:
- first BACKUP your save just in case
- find the file "RadioToGrid.txt" and in it search for "item RadioRedGrid"
- add a new line " AcceptMediaType = 0, " after "Tooltip = Works without batteries. Needs power source.,"
Better don't use MS notepad this could cause problems. I'd recommend something like notepad++

As a reminder, just like MrRAT said: This will not affect already modified radios. You will have to use a new unmodified red radio for the fix to work if you already placed and connected yours.
And just to make sure backup your save first. Don't blame me if you mess it up and have not done so. I only tested this with a save that did not have the mod installed before. I don't know how the game will behave if you already have a modified radio installed and then change the file

TrueMusic compatibility please and thankyou

@MrRAT Is there any news on the update?

41.66 mp, please.

@MrRAT is the CD player bug fixed yet?
Wondering if i should install this mod, it would be a great help for my server.

Is there any intent to have this apply to boomboxes?

@Onimanius thanks for reporting. I know the problem and how to fix it. Im gonna postpone the update to later this week, will do more testings, and maybe will find something else worth updating.
Want to find good solution to not mess up with MP servers/players, and wouldnt like to brake single players items either. Update wouldnt change much, but already generated items doesnt change with mod updates, only new items.

There is a bug, when you convert one of those red premium technologies radios that has a CD player to work on power, it looses the ability to play CD´s. The Tab with the CD "Tray" isn´t there anymore after converting so you can´t put in any CD.

Thank you @Cy64 and @Wipe for testing and using. I will update description.
I addded description when multiplayer launched without testing when majority of mods didnt worked, and wanted to take time to test it before confirming that there arent new bugs.

Since this mod is described as not working with the newest mp branch i made a similar mod which is confirmed to work with MP. The difference is that only the three versions of the ham radios can be connected to the grid. just search for "HamtoGrid"

We have it on server since MP dropped, never had any problems with mod; it just works.

@Lil Twink X Currently running this on our dedicated with no issues so far. Just be sure to use the convert recipe and check you have the components required for it (visible in recipe tab under electrical section) it does not automatically convert all radios to work on the grid as I first assumed.

Hopefully you get this to work, or someone picks it up and patches it for MP. I would love to have this mod in our server so I can reliably keep our HAM radio on for incase people contact our group!

@Hayro thanks, added to description that it doesnt work. Will take a look later, maybe its an easy fix. As for lamp posts on grid, thats beyond my skills, couldnt change word objects in the past.

@Mr Shiny Boots thanks, will take a look at it.

Crashes the game for the 41 MP

there is a bug, when you connect a premium technologies radio that has a CD player to the grid....the CD player disappears,,,

@Kousaka Kirino
Because PZ is set in the 1990s. We didn't have usb back then, my friend. We had DD batteries, boom boxes that took said batteries, and floppy discs. 1gb of memory? That was unimaginable back then.

I always wondered where all the Battery Chargers / USB-Cables etc. went.
After all, most modern Devices are easily connected to the Grid, so why not in PZ?
