Vehicle Light Chime

Project Zomboid: Vehicle Light Chime Mod

Never Forget Your Headlights Again

Navigating the perilous world of Project Zomboid often means making critical decisions on the fly. One small oversight, like leaving your vehicle’s headlights on after shutting off the engine, can drain your battery and leave you stranded in a dangerous situation. The Vehicle Light Chime mod introduces a subtle yet invaluable auditory cue to prevent this common pitfall, enhancing your survival experience whether you’re playing solo or with friends.

How the Chime Works

This clever mod adds a distinct chime sound that plays whenever you turn off your vehicle’s engine while the headlights are still active. This auditory alert serves as an immediate reminder to switch off your lights, conserving precious battery power for when you truly need it – illuminating dark roads or signaling to other survivors.

Key Features and Considerations

The Vehicle Light Chime mod is designed with practicality and compatibility in mind. Its core features include:

• Auditory Alert: A clear chime sounds when the engine is off and headlights are on.
• Intelligent Functionality: The chime will not play if the vehicle’s battery is completely dead or if the engine is irreparably damaged, ensuring accurate feedback.
• Multiplayer and Singleplayer Support: Tested and confirmed to function seamlessly in both cooperative and solo gameplay.
• Save Game Compatibility: This mod can be safely added to or removed from existing save files without issue, and it works with both previously spawned and newly generated vehicles.

Technical Notes

It’s important to note that the chime is implemented as a world sound. This means that players in close proximity to your vehicle, including other survivors in multiplayer sessions, will also hear the chime. This is a current limitation of the modding API but serves to alert nearby allies to your vehicle’s status.

The Vehicle Light Chime mod is generally compatible with most vehicle additions for Project Zomboid. It has been specifically tested and confirmed to work with popular mods like KI5’s Vehicle Collection and Filibuster Rhymes’ Used Cars!, but should integrate well with others as well.
