Daily Report Journal [Reforged]

Track your survivor’s journey — one day at a time.

The Daily Report Journal [Reforged] rebuilds the original Daily Report Journal mod from the ground up for Project Zomboid Build 42+, bringing modernized data handling, cleaner UIs, and seamless file-based persistence.

Overview
Every in-game day, the Journal automatically records your survivor’s key statistics — skill growth, zombie kills, weight changes, and more — into a structured daily log you can review at any time.

The Reforged Edition preserves the spirit of the original while refactoring nearly every system for stability, performance, and long-term compatibility.

Key Features
  • Daily Stat Summaries – Automatically logs all key stats each in-game day: XP gained, zombie kills, weight, and total score.
  • Trend Tracking – Compare your survivor’s progress day-by-day and week-by-week.
  • Skill Insight – View per-skill XP gains, level-ups, and trends over time.
  • File-Based Storage – Replaces old modData saves with lightweight file mirrors for each survivor.
  • Migration Support – Safely imports legacy DRJ modData into the new format.


Mod Support and Twitch

Technical Upgrades
  • Rewritten file I/O system
  • Optimized day-record hydration from RAM
  • Legacy-safe migration for Original Data
  • Rebuilt weekly averages logic
  • Base64->RichText conversion pipeline (optional decode on hydration)
  • One-to-one data preservation (no rounding or truncation)


Compatibility
  • Build: 42.x and above
  • Compatible with most UI and HUD mods.
  • Incompatible with outdated Daily Report Journal versions prior to Reforged (remove old version first).


Save Behavior
  • Each survivor receives a unique journal file (/DailyReportJournal/<Name>_<Timestamp>/journal.djr).
  • New characters begin with a fresh journal (header created on GameStart).
  • Migrated saves preserve all previous data in one-to-one format.
  • Journals are stored in your Zomboid/lua folder and persist across sessions.


Credits
  • Original Mod – Daily Report Journal by DANi
  • Thanks to the Project Zomboid modding community for continuous support and testing.


Change Highlights
  • Save Window Position and Pin state across sessions.
  • Toggle the Journal Window with 'Z' key.
  • Automatic migration path for legacy modData.

Rebinding is certainly something I can look into.

As for tracking cash, it’s not something I’ve considered as it doesn’t truly fit within the scooe of the mod. A nice idea though 🤗

Thanks for your feedback.

Amazing, thank you for your work ! I love that we can toggle the window (can we rebind it ? My Z as someone with an AZERTY keyboard is used for, well, moving).
I know it's a long shot, but is there any chance we could track money ? Not necessarily everyday but at least counting how much is in our inventory/wallet when we die... Just for those of us collecting dollars for the sake of it.

Thank you so much I was about to give up on the mod since it never went past day 36

Hey SIMB thanks for the kind words and feedback.

Im in 4k and the journal window seems fine.

Can you join discord and expand on what you mean?

As for translation everything is localised when a record is written/saved, so if you’re in French the data is saved in French. If that makes sense.

Welcome the feedback 🤗

U are the best, bro!
Adding the ability to translate into other languages ​​and an interactive HUD for better viewing in 4K would be ideal.
Thanks for the initiative.
