Yeah so 42 has basically added this mod as part of default settings, so even if you have this on and set it to zero the base game's version of it will still apply

@Scroobles McDoodle - B42
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 3 Jun @ 8:28pm 
@FCF - 41 or 42?

Downloaded your mod, set coughing chance to zero but my character still cough.
Although my character doesn't seem to cough as much as he used to.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 20 Mar @ 2:40am 
Huh, yeah okay. Neat. I think the animation thing you're noticing might be a conflict with the other mod? Cause when I run this without the other one, it plays an animation just fine.

For reference, seems to work :)
unsure how large the radius for 'cough cough' triggers zombies but that works too, though I don't seem to see an actual cough animation when it happens.

I have no idea. I assumed control of this mod way before that one became a thing, and I haven't even so much as looked at its code to see how it works. Feel free to try it out and get back to me with results.

umm will it work with True Smoking B41? It should right? maybe after it in load order? bit unsure because B42 and B41 version both not mention this mod in compatibility section
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 12 Mar @ 9:32am 
I mean it's not going anywhere. Technically it still serves a purpose if you want to make smoker even worse to deal with lmao. I'll keep it up in case people want to use it for whatever reason, but it'll likely never be updated or anything like that.

o7 thumbs up for your mod on the way out.
Ornitron 12 Mar @ 5:35am 
Hi there, I think you shouldn't give up so quickly. The new smoker trait doesn't just cough every 25 in-game minutes. The coughing is now as loud as shouting. This means the trait is pointless in its current form. Can you possibly adjust the volume? Perhaps the developers will fix it in future but I don't want to give up my current game.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 12 Mar @ 12:20am 
It was a pleasure assuming control and maintaining this mod for you all to enjoy, but it will no longer be needed in future.

o7?

But also, with the introduction of 42.5 this persistent cough is now implemented in basegame, albeit at a lower frequency than what this is, so I guess this mod is rendered useless now.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 11 Mar @ 7:25pm 
@Larry I'm testing it right now and I can confirm that it does still work.
demZo662 11 Mar @ 4:53pm 
Doesn't do anything by now.
demZo662 11 Mar @ 4:37pm 
I'm gonna give a try with this mod because you know, 42.5.0
Lug 6 Feb @ 5:33pm 
Low roll? I cough every other cigarette without this mod, it'd probably be every single time with this lmao.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 13 Jan @ 12:57pm 
Well it's a good thing it's adjustable, ain't it?

I've smoked 2 packs a day for about 20 years, so consider me an expert. I typically don't cough that much except for when I first wake up. I'll have straight up coughing fits for about a half an hour. My lungs feel like leather, but once I break em up and stretch em out, I'm good for the day.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 6 Jan @ 5:41pm 
Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to do that
punchy 6 Jan @ 7:56am 
Hey, great mod! Is there any way you could make the 10 minute interval configurable as well? Thanks!
10 of Hearts 31 Dec, 2024 @ 10:08am 
This is great. Even with the new changes to 42, smoking is too OP. You can just opt to smoke in a safe place, but with this, you're coughing like a real smoker any time! :D
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 2:25pm 
I've already addressed this - this mod works differently to the way vanilla now does, and nerfs it even harder.
Greηdel 26 Dec, 2024 @ 11:15am 
Vanilla already nerfs smoker into the ground now
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 5:03am 
Oh right. Yep okay, after reading that and checking, you're absolutely right broski. You do cough after smoking now, although it's not after every cigarette like you said. I chugged three cigarette packs, so a total of 60, and coughed three times throughout the first pack, two times on the second, and none on the third. So yeah you're right, it does roll a chance to cough after performing the smoke action but from the looks of it, it's a pretty low roll.

This mod works kinda differently and, I feel, serves a slightly different purpose - on top of this new vanilla "cough after smoking" mechanic, this mod gives smokers a persistent cough that'll perform another random chance roll (with an adjustable threshold) at 10 minute intervals (in-game time).

So yeah, if you want to punish smokers even more, then this is the mod for that.
broski 25 Dec, 2024 @ 1:17am 
This mod is in b42, idk. My character caugh after every cigarette.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 24 Dec, 2024 @ 4:27pm 
Y'know you got me really curious by saying that, so I booted up in debug and decided to check it out, and...I'm not so sure about that. I created a fresh save with this disabled, obviously picked Smoker, and I had this character standing still while I fast forwarded for like... well over ten days straight, in fact nearly two weeks, and I didn't cough once. Enabled the mod, bam I started coughing. Disabled it again, no longer coughing. I mean, you say there's no need for it, but from what I can see vanilla doesn't do exactly what this does so I'd say it still has a place and a purpose.
WhitePillow 24 Dec, 2024 @ 9:58am 
this is in vanilla btw. no need for mod.
Shipyard 24 Dec, 2024 @ 6:10am 
Definitely appreciated!
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 22 Dec, 2024 @ 6:07pm 
Should be doable. In fact, I've already got the file structure sorted out and ready to go. Although with that being said, to the best of my knowledge b42 has changed a bunch of things code-wise that I haven't looked into, and likely won't, so hopefully it all still...works as intended and doesn't screw up. It seemed to work in my very brief initial debug testing so it might be fine? I'll publish the update and if anything's broken then surely it'll reveal itself
Shipyard 21 Dec, 2024 @ 5:37pm 
Simple but immersive mod! Hope it gets a b42 update.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 28 Jul, 2024 @ 8:34pm 
Sorry I don't use jiggas so that won't be happening
Red Star 28 Jul, 2024 @ 7:45pm 
It would be cool if this worked with the stoner trait in jigga's green fire mod too
Kr¡tZw!nG 22 Jul, 2024 @ 8:22am 
"Does it work with this?" "I dunno" LMAO love you
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 23 Jun, 2024 @ 7:03am 
My guess - probably?
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 23 Jun, 2024 @ 7:03am 
I dunno dude
образ покаяния 23 Jun, 2024 @ 5:41am 
Compliable with "Quit smoking"?
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 25 Apr, 2024 @ 12:10am 
It only applies the cough if you've picked the smoker trait
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 25 Apr, 2024 @ 12:10am 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Canadude 25 Apr, 2024 @ 12:02am 
Does this cough effect work on jigga's Green Fire mod's items?
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 28 Mar, 2024 @ 7:40pm 
I don't see why you'd need to, I doubt this is ever gonna get updated, but sure go ahead. Do what you gotta do chickypea.
Morgan 28 Mar, 2024 @ 7:39pm 
May I add this to my modpack?
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 16 Mar, 2024 @ 4:22am 
Это нормально. если вы выберете перк курильщика с установленным этим модом, ваш персонаж будет время от времени кашлять. Вы также можете отрегулировать количество в параметрах песочницы, если чувствуете, что ваш персонаж слишком сильно кашляет.
Vikep'S 16 Mar, 2024 @ 4:19am 
Оууу тогда извините я сам уже начел понимать что скорее всего из перка курильщика мой персонаж кашляет, извините пожалуйста, я просто был слегка в не настроении.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 16 Mar, 2024 @ 4:16am 
Вы выбрали черту курильщика? Потому что кашель вашего персонажа является намеренным — ведь мод называется "кашель курильщика".

Пожалуйста, простите за плохой перевод. Мне приходится использовать Google Translate.
Mang 12 Mar, 2024 @ 9:22am 
Alrighty, thank you for taking the time to respond.
Scroobles McDoodle  [author] 11 Mar, 2024 @ 8:24pm 
I don't really know why it was removed tbh. I asked the creator and he said he didn't want to continue supporting it and didn't elaborate any further than that.
Mang 11 Mar, 2024 @ 6:21pm 
Are the reasons that this mod was originally removed relevant at all to us who use the mod?
Green -.- 5 Mar, 2024 @ 4:23pm 
The multiplayer game runs well with nearly 260+ modules and no errors occur. Thank you for your efforts.
