yeah, it literally knows the layout of the game, how mod folders are set up and how the games script codes work. As i said there is a bit of back and forth where it asks you questions like "do you want me to do this, should i include that etc..." but its 10 minutes verses all evening doing it manually

Alpha Gamer: Thanks for the tips! I had no idea ChatGPT could do that. Maybe ChatGPT is secretly surviving in Knox County, hoarding beans and avoiding helicopter events like a pro! 😄

Bonelancer: Hello ! You need to use a mailbox to receive the item you just bought.
The item is sent to the mailbox automatically and instantly. Any mailbox will contain your package, you don’t need to go to the one closest to the computer.I didn’t want to make retrieving purchased items too complicated.

Desso: Hi! You can use any computer in the game — not just the one in Knoxx Bank. The mod activates based on the tile texture the computer is placed on. If the option doesn’t appear, try clicking on different parts of the computer. Sometimes, if there's another object in front of it or overlapping it, the context menu might not show up correctly. That could be why you don’t see the PZLinux option.

Let me know if the issue persists!

So you can use chatgpt to write out a full script file of any modded item to include into black market. You just need to give it the prompt "I am using the b42 pzlinux [beta] mod for project zomboid and I want to add modded items to the black market and include reasonable prices." It will start to give you extra prompts like what mods do you want to include and so long as you know the name of the mod, copy and paste the workshop url at the top of steam and paste it along with any other mods you want, it will ask you if you want to put everything in one file or seperate clothing and weapons, just read what its asking and respond. You will then get a full rar file of everything including mod folders (lua, media etc...) and then open the generated file in notepad++ and paste it into the "ISPZLinuxVariablesTables.lua" within this mod. Wallah, you have everything you want and you didnt sit there for hours manually writing it yourself.

i was able to get cash but one i bought something off the dark web and goods i did not get any items but the money was taken away am i missing something?

Can we use any computer or only in the one in knoxx bank. Strangely i can only access only one computer in the knoxx bank I was in. The other desktop computer didnt have an option to click "PZLinux"

I wanted to take the desktop back to base and did so, although when im at base i dont have option to access the PZLinux with the same computer that previously worked in the knoxx bank.

@Raixxar:
ISTimedActionQueue:tick: bugged action, cleared queue ISPZLinuxRepareAction
trying to find anything from the console, cant seem to find anything.
Tried loading it last and first in mod order. Think it might be related to "Reduce Time Action" mod...

@鬼脸123 Unless you have mods that let you interact with containers in your backpack, you need to hold the package in your hands or toss it on the ground and loot from there

I successfully purchased the goods and got my goods in the mailbox, but I right-clicked on the package but didn't have the option to take out the goods. Is this a bug?

@Bl4kangel: Hello ! The interfaces use tile textures to open through the menu. This setup should theoretically limit bugs, since it requires a player click. Do you see any error messages in the logs that might help me diagnose your issue? Do you suspect a specific mod might be causing these bugs? Thanks for your help!

Is there any know mod conflictions currently?
Every PC UI that i open up closes on any input i select. And the mailbox ui I cannot close at all, i have to exit and load to have it gone.

@Ryan: It doesn’t matter. You can use any mailbox in the game to send or receive your package. I didn’t want to add strict limitations on mailbox usage.

@Raixxar the house I spawned in or the house where i was while using the computer? and what if the house/office i used didn't have a mailbox?

@Ryan: Hello ! Check a mailbox, the big blue one, or the small one around house, all your purchased items are sent here.

@Raixxar where does the bought item go? I can't seem to find them?

@Vengent: Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to see you're enjoying the mod :D

Works now. I thought I had it in my main inventory, but did not. Love the mod! Cackled at the zombie racing bets.

@Vengent : Hello, the item must be in your main inventory to be sold. This is intentional so you can sell multiple items at once without repeated clicks. The computer scans all nearby containers to show what's sellable, but the number sold will match how many are in your main inventory at the time of the click.

Is there an additional step to selling an item? I had it in my inventory, saw it in the list, and clicked sell, but I didn't get a suspicious package in my inventory?

@lovelyOranges check the FAQ or scroll down the comments till you find my comment that explains how it works

what do I do with suspicious package? that's all i got in return for selling on the dark web, and it's named like a stack of cash, but I can't unstack it, turn it into anything else, or deposit it into an ATM?

@jetstreamsamtheguitarhero : Hello, since the last update, there’s an issue with this contract. It no longer tracks zombie kills. I’ve noted it for the next patch fix.

Hey I really like the mod. I am wondering how to turn in contracts? I killed 30 zombies like it asked and it says I killed 54. I do not know how to turn it in.

@Raixxar Okay, good to know. Thanks again.

@The Noble Bandit367 : Hello ! Yes, you can add the mod to an existing game. You won’t have the sandbox options—it’ll run with default settings. If there are no zombies, only the quest requiring zombie kills won’t be doable, but the rest of the mod will still work.

@Raixxar Hello, can you tell me if this mod can be added to existing saves? Also, Will it work in a zombie-less world? Thank you in advance.

@Fracture: Hello! Only the DW sale items and stock prices are listed. I haven’t added the sell list yet, but that’s a good point—I’ll add it to my roadmap for future updates!

@Raixxar Does ISPZLinuxVariablesTables.lua only manage items to be bought from DarkWeb or does it influence the selling part as well?

@Alpha Gamer: That’s righ ! Other files will use your variable changes to integrate items into the DW. You can copy/paste and modify lines or adjust existing item prices. This file also contains stock values for fictional companies. Note: thumbnails might not always show, depending on the mod items you add—it’s just a visual bug; buying and selling will still work.

Im one of those guys that wouldn't have a clue where to start when it comes to writing a script file, no idea, however I am really good at editing scripts already made and understand the values, what they mean, how to add, remove and alter code, its a strange one i know. Im assuming its just a case of looking at all the other entries as a reference and just copy it but adding the base name of the mod and theres no need to have to hunt down the mod folder its attached to and link it? your mod will just recognise it by base name along provided its active in the mod menu.

@Raixxar Perfect, thanks again. And kudos for making it easy for the mod users to make our own changes as desired. It's always appreciated when mod authors go the extra mile to add functionality like that.

@Kelarius : Exactly! If you have a list of items you'd like to see on the dark web, you can add them directly to the LUA file. You can find the list of books here: pzwiki.net/wiki/Literature
Balancing is a real challenge—my goal is to add features without making survival too easy or prices too high.

@Raixxar Great, thanks for the quick reply! Per your response to Alpha Gamer, sounds like they could be added, however, using the base.name and editing the lua file? Not sure that I would as it might make things a bit easy, but curious.

Really cool to see how this mod as expanded since initial release as well.

@Alpha Gamer: Yes, since the latest version, you can add items from other mods. Just get the item's base.name and edit the "ISPZLinuxVariablesTables.lua" file. You can also set its average price. Make sure to back up this file—Steam will overwrite it if I update the mod.

I use a lot of modded content, like non vanilla weapons, extra armor and other things, is there a way to include these in the black market? Where is the script file to add items?

@Kelarius: Hello, no, it's not possible to get skill books through the computer. However, you can obtain blueprints and learning magazines for new recipes or to use the GE, for example.

Hopefully quick question -- is it possible to get skill books using Special Requests? I've tried using the "Book" option a few times so far and only received regular books and magazines. Also haven't seen skillbooks in the Dark Web. I'd just like to know if I'm wasting my time trying or if it's possible. Thanks!

@当仔 : Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the mod!

@Alpha Gamer : Hello ! You can speed up the typing by increasing your Electricity skill. The typing speed also follows the global game clock speed, so you can fast-forward time to make it go faster. Additionally, you can disable the typing effect entirely by clicking the SFX button at the top of the interface. All messages will appear instantly if SFX is set to OFF (Red).

can you speed up the typing? Its really annoying doing the contracts and watching the words type out like its grandma using a keyboard for the first time

伟大且令人惊喜的mod！！！感谢

@The_Red: Hello, in the mini-game, each digit in the code must be unique — no number can appear more than once. This makes the clues more accurate with each attempt. The digits can range from 0 to 9, so codes can include the number 0.

The mini game you play when hacking ID's, Can the numbers have duplicate digits? Example: 4432. Or do they never duplicate? I've gotten some of them correct, but sometimes i feel as if it must be a duplicate number. Logic puzzles always trip me up though so if anyone has any tips that would be much appreciated.

ok......

Hello !

@A Long nghien : at the location marked on the map, you need to right-click to retrieve the package. By default, the mod uses context menus to better handle items that may have been moved by the player during a quest.

@滑板车车车 : Thank you for your message and your support!

@我是一个小菜坤 : The translation is on my roadmap. I'm coding alone, and during this time of year I have less free time to work on it, so sorry for the delay.

Hi How do i find the package for delivery Contract,
I've went to location(mine is on the broken train in ekron), search the whole place, find notthing but plank. Is the mod not working or im missing somthing

Raixxar, this is the most impressive mod I have ever seen. Immersive!

I think I've been waiting for the translation for a long time. May I ask when it will be implemented? You can add your native language support, and we can help translate it for you as well.

@Raixxar Thank you for the heads-up!

@Peter-Kun: Hello ! Since the latest game release, there's an issue with this contract that isn't working at the moment. I'll fix this in an upcoming update.
