[B42] Simple Flashlight on Belt!

Illuminate Your Nights: The Simple Flashlight on Belt Mod for Project Zomboid

For survivors braving the relentless hordes in Project Zomboid, a clear line of sight, especially after dusk, is paramount. This new mod, “[B42] Simple Flashlight on Belt!”, offers a welcome quality-of-life improvement for players, particularly those who prefer to wield their tools and weapons with two hands. Say goodbye to fumbling in the dark and hello to convenient illumination.

Convenient Illumination at Your Fingertips

The core functionality of this mod is elegantly straightforward: it allows you to equip flashlights directly onto your character’s belt. This frees up your primary hand slots, ensuring that your chosen melee or ranged weapon remains readily accessible while still providing the essential light needed to navigate the darkened, zombie-infested world of Project Zomboid. No more sacrificing precious inventory space or combat readiness for the ability to see.

Easy Activation and Customization

Controlling your new belt-mounted flashlight is designed to be intuitive. With a simple press of the “F” key, you can toggle your flashlight on and off. Alternatively, if you prefer even quicker access, you can assign your flashlight to a specific belt hotkey, allowing for instant activation or deactivation during intense encounters or when simply exploring a dimly lit building.

Angled Flashlights Reimagined

The mod also introduces an interesting tweak to the Angled Flashlight. In the vanilla game, these can be equipped using netting. However, “[B42] Simple Flashlight on Belt!” overrides this behavior to enable their attachment to your belt. If you prefer the original method of equipping Angled Flashlights, you can simply disable this mod.

Key features of this mod include:

• Allows flashlights to be equipped on the belt.
• Frees up hand slots for two-handed weapon users.
• Toggle flashlight on/off with the ‘F’ key.
• Supports assignment to belt hotkeys for quick access.
• Modifies Angled Flashlight equipping for belt compatibility.

Important Compatibility Notes

It is crucial to note that this mod is specifically designed for and is **only compatible with Build 42** of Project Zomboid. It will not function correctly with Build 41 or earlier. Players looking for similar functionality in older builds should seek out alternative mods. Additionally, this mod is currently incompatible with the Authenticz mod. The developer is aware of this and will investigate potential solutions when time allows.
