Forced Endless Broadcast Radio TV [B42]

---

This mod keeps radio and TV broadcasts running endlessly in B42, ensuring all channels to continuously loop their content without ever going permanently off-air.

My previous mod, "Never-Ending TV and Radio Broadcast [B42]" does something similar, but it only loops vanilla channels. This mod, however, loops every radio and TV channel, regardless of whether or not they were originally intended to loop.

Moreover, the biggest issue with my previous mod is that it no longer works due to recent vanilla updates or conflicts with newer radio/TV broadcasting mods uploaded after mine.

That's because of limitations in script file modifications. Aside from their general performance issues, script-based mods have numerous other problems, one of which is their vulnerability to conflicts with newer mods that utilize the same script functions or alter similar behaviors. Such conflicts aren't uncommon, since the game engine doesn't offer a wide variety of script functions for modders to use to implement a certain behavior, forcing many mods to rely on the same functions over and over as a result.

Due to these issues, it's no longer possible for my previous mod to reliably keep radio and TV broadcasts looping using scripts only. To address this, I've directly modified the game's Java files, resulting in this mod, the ultimate version that forcibly loops all channels endlessly.

1. It makes every radio and TV channel loop forever, including non-vanilla channels.

2. This mod does not impact game performance and can be safely added to existing save files.

3. This mod will work even with heavily modded saves.

This mod modifies vanilla Java files, so it requires manual installation. Follow the installation instructions below carefully to manually install the mod. Uninstallation can be done by verifying the integrity of game files through Steam (However, be aware that this process removes ALL mods that modify Java code, "the Java mods", so you’ll need to copy and paste them again afterward for any you want to keep.)

1. Subscribe to the Mod

• First, make sure your game version is B42, not B41, and that the game is fully closed.
  
  
• Then, subscribe to Forced Endless Broadcast Radio & TV [B42] on the Steam Workshop.

2. Locate the Mod Folder
In File Explorer, navigate to your Steam Workshop directory, which by default is:


(You may copy and paste the above path into the Windows search bar or File Explorer to quickly open it.)

3. Copy the “zombie” Folder
Within the 42 folder, locate a folder named “zombie.”
Right-click this folder and select “Copy.”

4. Find the Project Zomboid Installation Directory
Open a File Explorer window and navigate to your Project Zomboid installation folder. Typically, this can be found here:


Make sure you see an existing “zombie” folder in this directory.

5. Paste and Replace Files
Paste the “zombie” folder from Step 3 into your main Project Zomboid folder. When prompted with a warning message indicating that 3 files already exist, choose “Replace the files in the destination.” This will overwrite the necessary files.

You have successfully installed Forced Endless Broadcast Radio TV [B42]. Now you can enjoy every episode on every channel without missing a single one.


2. There's a chance that some modded TV or radio channels may have a very long downtime, potentially lasting about a month, before their broadcasts loop again, especially if they're based on some template scripts that have broadcast schedules spanning more than a month. If this is the case, there won't be continuous back-to-back looping; you'll simply have to wait.

3. It's very common for TV/radio mods to conflict with each other: one might work while the other doesn't, or perhaps neither will work at all. Unfortunately, there's no real solution for this issue, and my mod can't resolve conflicts between other mods, so you'll need to choose one mod over the other.

4. If you increase the Maximum Media XP Level in Sandbox Options, using either vanilla settings or mods like "(Change) Sandbox Options", you can gain XP beyond level 3 by simply staying indoors and doing nothing but watching TV.
