Unfortunately, this mod might end up being one of the last I update for Build 42, mainly because the animations are entirely custom, made in Blender, and I will have to learn how to either recreate the animations or modify their scripts or both in order to make this mod work in Build 42. If anyone else wants to recreate the animations and use my code as a starting point, they're welcome to try. As long as you don't reuse the mod's name and id, I will be fine with it.

I am not really playing Build 42 until it has gamepad support and multiplayer. I bought Project Zomboid after both of those things existed, so the idea of playing an unstable update that doesn't have them is not super appealing to me. The mods that take the most effort to update will likely be the last mods I update.

In build 42 the animations are broken, everything else seems to work. Please fix and update. Really need it in singleplayer.

I'm sorry to hear that my dude. Good wishes to you in this time of grieving. I'd be lost without my lil gato

No problem. My cat just passed away so I'm not eager to dump time into B42 before it's even stable slash finished, but I do plan to update my most popular mods when B42 is a little further along than it currently is.

I was way overthinking things; removing the dependency was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be a plug-and-play fix of adjusting the file structure and moving on. Well, at least now you know for whenever you may come back! Thanks for the response either way and, as mentioned, I'll keep fingers crossed that this will be seen again in the future.

I appreciate the interest, but I haven't been actively modding Project Zomboid and I am probably not coming back for 42 until multiplayer is back in 42, since I never really bought the game to play solo in the first place... That said, you could probably play with default mod options and disable mod options as a dependency, and the mod would in theory work if it is fully compatible with the new version of the game -- which I have not even begun to test and thus cannot verify, unfortunately.

Hello again, any chance to get this updated to B42? I tried adjusting the file structure myself, but it still has a dependency for Mod Options and I am unable to actually activate it as result. There is a built-in Mod Menu for B42, but I'm truthfully at the extent of my knowledge when it comes to making this work with that instead of the original Mod Options; Dhert has a tutorial though, hopefully that helps you more than it was helping me (3386860561). Thanks again for your work; hopefully we will see this mod in B42 soon!

See Mod Options to disable the sound.

Sorry for accidentally deleting the comment about it, but the sound effect is not from my mod. Lifestyle Meditation has the sound effect. However, this mod can disable the sound effect if you use it alongside Lifestyle.

Nothing. They're entirely to teach yoga to people when they did not select Yogi and you enable the appropriate sandbox options.

what do the meditation books do besides give the yogi trait?

Meditating at all should be sufficient.

Must I meditate for x amount of time each day, or just enter the animation once per day for it to count towards the dedication bonus?

In general sandbox options reverting suggests that somehow your server has become misconfigured. It is not a mod-specific phenomenon. Feel free to get in touch on Discord if you want help fixing your server.

No...

Do you run Udderly Up-to-Date? That can cause your sandbox options in a dedicated environment to get locked.

Im trying to change the mindfullness duration but it keeps going back to the default number. Anyone knows what it might be?

No idea how Balance Traits works but can't imagine why they would be incompatible. These mods are compatible with hundreds of mods. If Balance Traits has issues, I would be inclined to assume it has them by itself.

Jumper and Meditation compability with Balance Traits?

It's an extreme minority, but some people are so grumpy that almost everything seems to bother them. Glad you find it as useful as I do.

I love this mod, so even if I couldn't get the book reading to work, I'd still use it and keep loving it.

The people downvoting this lifesaver are strange to me.

Thanks for reporting the issue instead of downvoting and grumpily moving along. I appreciate that.

It works!

Please try it again! Just pushed a quick hotfix for this.

Woops, I broke that feature when I updated translations recently. My bad! Fixing it now.

I'm struggling to get this mod to work; I've enabled it so that you need to read the books (only 300 pages to become yogi), and yet no matter how many I read, I still cannot gain the trait.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

That's a fantastic idea. I'll look into it when I have time. I'm guessing it would be possible.

Any chance to see an option for temperature regulation while meditating? Something akin to the Wim Hof Method. Would be nice to be able to meditate to regulate my character being too hot or too cold in certain circumstances.
Either way, great mod and thanks for all you've already done!

Nah it does not heal body damage. Only reduces hunger and thirst and masks pain, which is part of Meditative Recovery, and that feature is off by default (must be enabled in sandbox options).

hi, sorry for the silly question, you probably already answered this and i'm just not understanding.
by default, does the meditation allow you to heal from wounds a little faster? or did i misunderstand?

again sorry for the possibly redundant question, i'm just trying to make sure 100%

Here about the meditation sound effect? You're looking for Lifestyle: Hobbies .

This mod has a solution to your issue, but please save your complaints and requests regarding that issue for the Lifestyle: Hobbies page, since that feature is not mine.

That is not my mod but there IS an option for that, even though it is not my mod, IF you are in fact using my mod at all. The chime comes from Lifestyle: Hobbies, not this mod. However, if you run this mod alongside Lifestyle, it can disable Lifestyle's sound effect. Check your Mod Options.

Please add an option to disable the chimes at level 10

It's part of Lifestyle: Hobbies (which contains a skill called Meditation) but you can disable it using this workshop item (Meditation) if you are here trying to figure out how to do that.

what is this noise from meditation? what

If you are here because you run my mod and Lifestyle: Hobbies and are annoyed by the sound effect of meditation, please check Mod Options for a checkbox that will allow you to meditate silently using Lifestyle's meditation if you use both of these mods together. This is off by default to respect the original intent of the creator of Lifestyle (although I definitely meditate in silence).

Just to be clear, that sound effect is entirely part of Lifestyle; however, some servers run both, and then a client connects who doesn't like the sound, searches "Meditation", finds this, and logically concludes it must be this mod doing it. It is not my sound effect. However, I have safely decorated a function in Lifestyle (with angry's permission) in such a way that enabling the silent meditation in Meditation's Mod Options will mute Lifestyle Meditation's sounds.

Please find me on the Zomboid Discord and ping me if you need more help than that to get this solved.

Mod Options aren't server options, they're player specific options that appear until Options > Mods. Your sandbox options are what should appear in your list somewhere below the Advanced Zombie Options tab, but those only appear if you enable meditation in the MODS menu of the main menu of the game first (as well as its prerequisite, because this mod won't load without its requirements).

im having an issue where the mod options dont pop up in the server options below advanced zombie options

Aloha, all! Noticed today a minor compatibility bug with Udderly Knocked Out (Evelyn's mod for player respawn). I will be updating to fix this issue at 10 PM EST this Sunday alongside an upcoming update to True Music Jukebox (because that mod is on a strict schedule already and many people using that mod also use this one).

Haha, interesting! Apologies for my ignorance of that detail! Maybe I can find my old animation file and re-export a reflected version that does it that way someday.

Namaskaram, friend. Just so you know, here's a little detail: in order to sit in ardhasiddhasana, the left foot must touch your perineum, so the left leg of our character should be inside and the right outside, not the opposite!! Hahahahaha, thanks for the mod, I didn't think someone would do something like this.

I prefer the independent and separate versions that Lifestyle, quality before quantity.

To anyone who has downvoted this mod: please let me know what I can fix! I can't tell if I'm being downvoted because people think Lifestyle came first (incorrect) or because they think I added the annoying meditation sound effect on their server (also incorrect) or because they forgot to disable anticheat or enable features correctly in sandbox, but I can't make anything better or help people use the mod correctly if I don't know what's wrong. So, please feel welcome to post, even if you hate me! Haha.

And to everyone who has upvoted the mod since its birth, thanks for the support. I work hard to make my mods well before I move along; despite my efforts, several of them are almost unknown because they lack the votes necessary to give people confidence in their quality. Unfortunately for modders, the star rating on a mod won't reflect average upvote until about 200 votes are cast on Steam. It's encouraging to have one mod out there that has enough votes to reflect its true quality.

It's great you have behaved friendly, I hope to help.

<3 I will do that for you Inferno. After we get the next patch of True Music Jukebox live, since you have been so helpful over there, I will revisit this mod, implement translations, and add Spanish.

Please spanish

Recently helped upgrade True Music Jukebox with full support for multiplayer and improved menus. I'm thinking everyone who knows my mods will appreciate this one, so I decided it warrants a bit of comment spam. Hope y'all enjoy.

now to convince every server owner they are actually an idiot... good luck boys
