Depreciated warnings placed on this version, update today!

The new multiplayer true music jukebox is now availible!
True Music Jukebox
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118990099
Workshop ID: 3118990099
Mod ID: TrueMusicJukebox

I know everyone has been waiting and thank you for sticking with it. You must not run this old version and the new version together. But if you remove the old one and add the new one, it will pick up where the old one leaves off.
norby007  [author] 20 Dec, 2023 @ 6:27pm 
The new multiplayer will drop within the next 24hrs under a new mod name and ID number, it will take over the old jukeboxes without having to destroy them but you will need to remove this mod to add that one when it goes live. You will not be able to run both at once. After a time this mod will likely shut down. This way people can move as they have the time to change their servers and it will get on the front page for the workshop too.

once the MP version launches, please drop the bugs found onto the discussion board as it is easier to reply and track than here in the comments. TY :)

update: yesterday we worked on recipe code and making jukeboxes, either with electrical 4 or a magazine, whatever you get to first. Plan to get this out by the end of the week ready for the holidays.
norby007  [author] 18 Dec, 2023 @ 10:01pm 
Update on the prettiness, its looking very good. Just about ready to put a bow on this thing.

Hoping you guys are ready to run this when it hits. Looking to see what can be elevated to the next level after the MP release.

Big testing today, a dozen jukeboxes, couldn't force any failures... Just a couple pretty aspects to finish on the MP version and it'll be released.
norby007  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 9:03pm 
"anyway to make it repeat one song or all indefinitely?"

The version we are testing right now holds 500 songs. So, yeah pretty much. You can queue up what you want or shuffle the list.

Great addition to True music, and as a plus, you've screenshotted one of the best garages to live out of in Louisville.

Tested multiple jukeboxes in the same room tonight, got a couple bugs to squash, any day now for MP release... stay tuned...

"Anyone know of a good place to find a jukebox near Westpoint"

I don't think anything nearby, but the next release will have the recipe. We tested it last night. a boombox, a record player, 10 electronic scrap, some electrical wire, a metal sheet, 4 screws, and a screwdriver right now to make it. electrical 4 needed but no magazine required.

I know, so exciting! In the meantime, True Music Radio might satisfy the need in a car or when I walk around with headphones on.

"Additionally, I wasn’t aware that TSAR mods could be used alongside Lifestyle mods. That’s good to know!"

Thank you, and yes reports are that players have been able to use them side by side.
norby007  [author] 12 Dec, 2023 @ 8:00pm 
Just launched the True Music Radio! It's a different idea than the jukebox. The radio stations queue music from the True Music library and you don't need to go find the media. This was a side project I was working on between working on the multiplayer jukebox. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3100475013

I’m really impressed with the progress and dedication you’ve shown in your project. The innovation and creativity you’ve brought are truly remarkable. Your work not only improves the individual experience, but also benefits the entire community. I encourage you to keep going with your excellent work. Keep it up! Your effort and dedication are greatly appreciated. Keep moving forward with the project!

Additionally, I wasn’t aware that TSAR mods could be used alongside Lifestyle mods. That’s good to know!

What I have seen in the multiplayer tests run was amazing to me. Huge playlists, songs shared with friends, the hilarious nature of zombies attracted to the music, and an option that doesn't require swapping tapes as each song ends. For communities that play with a local group housing together, this adds to the interactivity. It's a huge investment of many people to get to this point and we all do it to make our individual experiences better for us. If that makes others happy then we all gain from it. Multiplayer is coming... I have seen it...
norby007  [author] 12 Dec, 2023 @ 10:55am 
In the past with my other mod the idea was to work together with other mods, each bringing their own style and uses. I don't plan to recreate any particular feature of any mod, but to create a helper mod that brings other mods with it to a higher level. Since all of this is subjective and people have their own wish lists, I try to accommodate anything that is reasonable or like minded without gong completely out of scope.
norby007  [author] 12 Dec, 2023 @ 10:51am 
The current jukebox I understand is not exclusive to the lifestyles mods. You probably can use them together to help with whatever your goal is. Originally I reached out to see if they were going to make something more of the True Music mod but heard nothing back. The only part that this uses to connect to that mod is in the ways that the music is pulled from the tapes and records and the inclusion of any mod that makes those items. It doesn't even use the same sound player. Burryaga has designed a complete rework of the original jukebox and it works so much better. Unfrotunately PZ has no default integration for this sort of multiplayer experience. That makes it a lot more difficult for anyone to create from scratch something that does the job. In its own right this will never be a perfect solution but a better one.

The TrueMusicJokeBox mod is impressive and offers a unique experience. However, I would like to see an animation and a graphical menu incorporated. On the other hand, ‘Lifestyle: Hobbies’ has attractive animations and a variety of instruments, but it limits the choice of music. It also has icons in the contextual menus that do not align with the game’s aesthetics. I prefer Tsar mods for their greater freedom and look forward to improvements in future updates.

The last 4 images on this page are from tonight's multiplayer test, he's polishing up a few last things and then it will be sent out. While all three of us could add to the playlist that we all shared, there is a delay in the transfer of that information. So the one rule for this whole thing is "one at a time". If you fail to queue, it will too. LOL
norby007  [author] 11 Dec, 2023 @ 11:25am 
Another teaser for the new MP version coming soon... There was an issue one person had with the audio being too loud even at level one. The audio volume control is no longer linear and now has an arc to it. At level one its pretty low but it escalates very quickly on the high end and volume level will increase range of the music overall. One near-quote is, "Just loud enough to annoy the rich neighbors." Distance is also pulled from a direct vector making a much smoother audio adjustment process. Excited to get this launched, stay tuned...

"I make music, not a major artist or anything. is it cool if I make a True Music mod that makes my songs a part of the loot pool? much love and respect for your work on these and whoever else helped!"

I did not make the True Music mod. But the creator of that mod made it specifically so that people could have their music in the game. I would expect you could do the same. They have instructions on how to make a music mod from the True Music mod page. I wish you luck!

A teaser for you all. The last photo is the updated jukebox running multiplayer that is not yet released. We stress tested it tonight with 3 players and its syncing and playing very well. I don't think you will ever see a perfect version but it's so close we can taste it. (gotta stop licking the jukebox) Anyways, Burryaga is a beast and verifying that its still happy with a solo game. Audio adjustments made, distances now much cleaner as it checks a vector for audio range. We are very close...

"Why don't you have a Paetron? This is the BEST mod I have added to this game (I run 250). My server wanted me to post your paetron because of it. I love you!"

Sorry, never been good at monetizing anything. And this has been a lot of work with collaboration that I can't possibly take credit for...

"I'm so hyped for the day this is MP ready! lol"

I hate to count my chickens before they hatch. The eggs keep getting turned and expect chicks soon... I have seen part of it working. Burryaga has cleaned up my code and is adding much more control to it... Possibly right clicking on a tape or record to make it play... He's a wizard!

"Trying to test this mod out before I add it to my server, what is the ID of the item?
how to spawn it"

No item to spawn, you generally need to find them in the world. Look in bars and the occasional home garage. One I know is at a 3 car garage in Lousiville on the west side on the river.

That being said, once the MP is hammer out a bit the jukeboxes will have a creation recipe option. By hacking up a boombox and record player you'll be able to make one.

"That's awesome to hear! Very excited to see the update and collaboration 😁"

Saw the work done so far yesterday, mind blown... Audio was syncing in MP... I don't think there will ever be a perfect solution unless the vanilla game gets an API for it but smoke and mirrors go pretty far.

Update for everyone: Burryaga is a beast that has gotten most of the kinks fixed. Honestly the guy deserves heavy praise on the MP solution and he really cleaned up the code. Huge advancements in the way the jukebox functions and presents itself. I am very impressed.

"Man, it'd be great to also get a boombox skin or something of the like to keep in line with the theming of the 90s. That or some car attachment?"

I'm not an artist but anyone could create a mod that reskins the boombox itself.

"which true music adds nirvana and what not?"

I use these and Ultimate has a few versions now. This should work with any TrueMusic songlist.

"This is all so exciting and probably one of the most positive comment threads I've seen on a mod. Love it. Rock on, everybody. (cuz like, jukeboxes)"

Got a surprise coming as we wait for the MP version to get implemented... I will make sure I post it here, it's another mod that will play music.
