mod is dope, i do have issues with people sometimes not able to hear my voip over it, I am thinking it might be the fact that the range of a radio on vanilla vs a modded server with more area to cover it might not work as intended as far as whole map coverage, however that happens

Demonlilman, I get modding may seem daunting at first, but a mod like that wouldn't be too difficult to make. I recommend looking at the wiki page for the radios and going to the "code" section. From there it should be a simple case of changing numbers in the game files for the mod to work.

Structuring the files so others can download and use the mod will be the hardest part, but I think that is covered in a pinned message in the PZ discord's #modding channel.

Hey i'm interested in getting a mod that actually reduces the range of radios, and you seem to be the person who has gotten the closest to that goal. What are your thoughts on it @pieandcheese647 ?
Replace the walkie talkies with something of a lower range

VOIP works just like vanilla game radio VOIP, which can be weird at times. If this mod isn't working, then there's other issues at play.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY DOES THE VOIP WORK YES OR NO

Im literally in the 100 player RP server, VOIP over radio NOBODY HEARS ME, text chat? clear as day.

One One read the guerilla radio magazine (dont remember which volume it is), it teaches the recipe to make the improvised radio

How do I make a makeshift ham radio because it shows I need the makeshift ham radio to make the improved radio

I know it sounds weird but it only happens with this mod enabled

Weird question

But has anyone else had this mod force respawn zombies even tho it’s disabled on the server ?

Definitely works with VOIP. Thanks for this mod. Very useful for a static "base" radio

You should start with the recipe, no books required. Besides the boosted range, it is the same as the vanilla ham radio.

hey where do i find it or the recipe for it because i would love to use a radio like this:spiffo:

I’m not 100% sure if VOIP is supported over radio in Zomboid but if it is then this mod will work with voip.

pieandcheese647  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 12:12am 
I think so.

Got ya thanks, the scale of the map eludes me a tad lol

Azazeal, the radio can broadcast to anywhere on the map from anywhere on the map. It has a broadcasting range of 100 kilometers, 5x larger than the military ham radio which already covered pretty much the entire map. If there’s a way to have the range be truly infinite, I would, but at the moment it simply has such a large range that infinite is advertiser compatible.

Hey just to clarify, do you mean to say that the signal will reach louisville if the radio is in rosewood, or that it covers both if positioned halfway between?

Damn nice, i was thinking a month ago, about radio show, this here would be some fancy addition.
