I would love to see this in B42 Great mod to have for 10 Years Later playthrough

This would be a great workaround for the build 42 car battery issues. Any chance of an update?
Rocky Jet 19 Dec, 2024 @ 4:44pm 
This one too!

Found my first jumper last night. Haven't used it yet, but going be so helpful. Thanks for making this.

@tax it's portable lol. carry it in your car, if you leave it on accidentally or had to abandon it for some time it is easy to get back and fetch it. especially when you're a few years in without a single charged battery around you. beats carrying a 40 kg generator hogging up your car seats.

(for tax, hi i didnt know a normal generator can recharge them, but i guess if yo havent found a generator, you can at least still recharge a car battery :)
pgames-food 13 Apr, 2024 @ 5:23pm 
ah sorry i missed your message earlier, that could be cool for future, thanks ;)

Not sure why we need this - there is a vanilla item to charge our batteries from a generator

@luna de pluton
Nope, no reply so far

@Sesshomaru
Yes, the issue is still persistent. I can't fix it from my side since Pimp My Ride overrides the function which is supposed to show the Jumpstart option, so the option never shows up.

@Leonidax1 @pgames-food
It's an interesting idea, I could look into it in the future, since I am currently focused on fixing bugs and issues I've been leaving for far too long
Sesshomaru 14 Mar, 2024 @ 2:02am 
It still doesn't work with "Snake's Modpack Pimp My Ride" and if so, what is the error?

Is there a mod to transfer electricity from one car to another? You know, with just a couple of wires to pass current through."

thats interesting :) some kind of device like a joule thief capacitor to merge together every last bit of energy from low-energy batteries of any type (car/aa/etc) for use with something more powerful. (i think in real life, energy only tries to equalise from higher to lower, but hey) :lunar2019piginablanket:

idk if you had a reply from snake but ill let him know if i see him in the community from facebook

@GrandFatherMaxhmud
I bumped down the spawn rate a tiny bit in vehicles trunks
Arendameth  [author] 10 Jul, 2023 @ 5:24am 
The mod conflict with Pimp My Ride is not fixable from my side unfortunately. It's due to the way code is handled in Pimp my ride and its out of my control. I contacted the dev so that we can resolve the issue but haven't received a reply yet. Until then, there's nothing I can do
Calm_Dude_ 3 Jul, 2023 @ 8:29am 
Bro spawn rate of Jumpstarter is too high imo. I found it inside of almost every vheicle and even found 2 of them in one car
exoduss123 21 Jun, 2023 @ 3:02am 
Pimp my ride is part of Snakes Mod Pack
Arendameth  [author] 16 Jun, 2023 @ 10:43pm 
Can someone link me to the Pimp my Ride mod please? I can't seem to find the correct one :)

@Arendameth

ok thank you

@luna de pluton

Not really. I am taking a big of a long break from modding and PZ in general for now, so I haven't worked on any of my mods in a while
luna de pluton 14 May, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
hi just asking if the incompatibility with pimp my ride is fixed
Arendameth  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 10:35am 
Greetings!

Feel free to use it :)

@Slider-Man

Glad to know it's been helpful to you! Thanks for the lovely words!
Slider-Man 19 Mar, 2023 @ 8:54am 
I loved the idea of this mod but it was kinda not needed for my server but i just started a new server yesterday and lawd jesus this mod saved my a$$ as i do a hardcore start and ya, this mod is a 10/10. Thank u again for it :)

@Stormtrooper497

"Jumpstarter"
Stormtrooper497 18 Mar, 2023 @ 10:54pm 
What is the item ID?
MeanSmoker 17 Mar, 2023 @ 2:34am 
This mod is my safe space.
Arendameth  [author] 16 Mar, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
@RamboTurkey

The item may now spawn in trunks :)
RamboTurkey 8 Mar, 2023 @ 11:02am 
that would be very nice thank you
Arendameth  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:04am 
@RamboTurkey

Not really. I could probably look into making it so that it has a chance to spawn in trunks
RamboTurkey 8 Mar, 2023 @ 12:53am 
are there any chance to find in car trunk ?

"This is possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen." Butthead

LOL, thanks man, I am constantly either forgetting to turn off the vehicle or when I do turn the car off, I forget the lights. I look forward to giving this a try. Great work.
MakTima 18 Dec, 2022 @ 10:02am 
This mod is kind of useless knowing that if you get lucky and have enough skill and a screwdriver to change the battery, that could be over 15%.
XpaDDer 15 Dec, 2022 @ 9:13am 
@Arendameth thanks!
Arendameth  [author] 15 Dec, 2022 @ 5:06am 
@XpaDDer I've set up a discussion for translation. Additionally, I've posted a discord server link for collaboration, if that's better for you
Arendameth  [author] 15 Dec, 2022 @ 5:05am 
@KowboY I've done some testing and unfortunately still no luck figuring out what the problem is. Do you get any errors at all? If not, a list of vehicle-related mods which you are using and may mess with this mod would be helpful.
XpaDDer 15 Dec, 2022 @ 12:09am 
Hey there, I have a translation for your mod, instead of Discord I think it would be easier to have a thread here with that stuff, can you enable them?
KowboY 8 Dec, 2022 @ 3:55pm 
I'm running a dedicated server with many players..... not exactly an option to remove all mods to test something unfortunately. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention
Arendameth  [author] 4 Dec, 2022 @ 2:32pm 
@KowboY

If you disable other mods, does the option show up?
KowboY 4 Dec, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
Not sure if it's FRused cars or auto mechanic mod or what is affecting it but for the life of me I can not get this to work. Tried a variety of vehicles all batteries under 10%, jump pack is fully charged, in inv, in backpack, on ground but the UI option does not show up
Arendameth  [author] 5 Oct, 2022 @ 2:49am 
@Luckynoobik
Car battery charger is a vanilla item
Battery Jumpstarter is an item added by the mod

No worries though :)
Luckynoobik 5 Oct, 2022 @ 2:23am 
@Arendameth
Excuse me, I thought that your mod added a charger for car batteries, it turned out to be a vanilla item. Sorry.
Luckynoobik 4 Oct, 2022 @ 11:36pm 
@Arendameth
I will repeat all the steps today to get the error, but I will leave only your mod and the mod for basements. I'll let you know the result. It seems to me that this may be an error of the basements mod, one user has already reported such an error on the mod about basements page, with your mod, but he was told that the basements work correctly and there is no error.
