doesnt seem like players can hear from further, if they are like 15~ tiles away from my char seems like my friends cant hear my gun.
might be because this mod was set for the original firearms b41 and not firearms b41 revamped though. i enabled both and no errors started flying but not sure if work

side note, i see firearmsb41 fix compat, hopefully does it mean also firearms b41 revamped?

wow i had no idea multiplayer had a nerfed sound radius. I wonder if Host mode had it?
The last time i played zomboid MP, i used Host exclusively, didn't seem to notice. now on dedi server with friends I absolutely notice shooting multiple zombies, ON SCREEN, and the others don't even react. I'm glad for this mod existing to fix that.

could you please add compatitability for the BeeArr's BB Guns mod?

For some clarification, does your mod add on top of the default sound range of guns? So if a shotgun is 100 tiles by default, this mod will add +25, +50, or +75? And the limit radius remover makes it so all zombies on a mp server can hear gunshots?

It seems it does not increase the "Sound other players can hear range". :(

is there a version of/in this mod that only changes the audible gunshot sound radii for other players and not for zombies? or if not, where can i find this in the game's code to change it for my own mod?

Right now, the mod increases weapon sound radius without any limitation while rounding up every weapon sound "volume" to 75. There is not much info on what exactly volume stands for but from what I experienced, I can say that it is related to other players hearing (cant say for certain tho).

TL;DR, yes they can hear from further; however, the limit is 75 for all the weapons.

will other players be able to hear the sound from further?

Question: FSRI_MPFix work for other weapon mods? Like CJ / Ash Firearms?

Added an excluded list so that mod does not apply to bows and crossbows.
Ortus 1 Oct, 2023 @ 1:16am 
The only thing I would like to change is compatibility with mods for bows and crossbows, because although they should make sounds, they should still be extremely quiet.

For example:
Bow and Arrow
The Way of the Bow
Remastered Kitsune's Crossbow Mod

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work, amazing mod!

Thanks to this mod, there is an important depth and immersion: you actually weigh when to use a weapon, because the volume radius is 150-200+ (and there is no feeling of unreality when you kill zombies with a rifle but other zombies in your line of sight ignore it... because DO NOT HEAR).

But more importantly, the silencers from various mods have become really valuable (and feel... real, and not unbalancedly destroying immersion), and yet they again do not destroy immersion due to the fact that with a silencer, weapons have almost no zombie attraction. They still attract zombies from a good range, but it feels... right.

thanks for the answer, sounds cool, I'll check it out

@Ortus
No, it will most likely work like the following: (original_range + mods_range) * silencer_reduction
Ortus 30 Sep, 2023 @ 6:17am 
If you enable this mod, will the silencers stop working?
Nihilist Penguin  [author] 26 Sep, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
I believe they would have +75 tiles increase in range so I would not advise pairing this mod with crossbow/bow mods at this point. However, I may patch this some time soon -- I have to test such crossbow/bow mods first.
Acid Green 26 Sep, 2023 @ 11:46am 
like if i were to activate 75 tiles setting and shoot a crossbow, would it have a 75 tile sound radius?
Acid Green 26 Sep, 2023 @ 11:45am 
does it, by any chance, break any of the crossbow/bow mods?

@BasedOnSomething
Yes, it should be working with Firearms B41, VFE and Gunrunner's Weapon Pack (most likely not Britas).
Just in case, load this mod after these weapon mods.

Does it work with firearms B41?
