@Gojita To my knowledge (I've never had a chance to test it on a server) if it's installed on a server it forces players to download the mod but will only allow the default edit. It *might* work clientside but I honestly have no clue since this isn't technically a mod it just makes a resource file easy to access and edit

Is this client-side or server-side? If server use it, does it force user to have the same text as server?

Formatting wasn’t working right, sorry for any notification spam

First, I shamelessly bastardized classic literature:

It was the best of times, it was the...
Wait that's not right
Anyway, good luck with the zombies


I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings-
Zombies! Shit! Oh, f*ckf*ckf*ck...


Or just stole from pre-bastardized material:

It is a truth universally acknowledged
That a zombie in possession of brains
Must be in want of MORE BRAINS.


But my favorite intro text is:

This is how you died
Pour mourir en français, appuyez sur deux
Para morir en español, oprima tres


I amuse myself :steamhappy:

@ResGVirus Not that I'm aware of, since the game is basically just pulling from that text file. It would take a lot to change that, and I am not good enough at lua to do that XD

Hello and thanks for the mod! Is it possible to have the game randomly select a number of Intro Texts? :re0umbrellalogo:

Glad to hear you managed to work something out. The mod could theoretically work as a client side mode but due to the translation files being under shared it's awkward to rework it as client. I've come back to this every so often trying to setup in-game options... maybe one day I'll figure out how to fix the server thing too :P

When you join server it asks for mods to be downloaded. If it downloads from steam instead from server, it wont work.
I made my own mod making yours as a example and it was the only way to display my text. So thank you for help. That was exactly what I needed. :steamthumbsup:
Thanks for reply by the way.
NialMontana  [author] 15 Mar, 2024 @ 2:59am 
@Anatoly Dyatlov Hmmm, I would assume that the local version of the mod is still at it's default setting while the server has your edit, check that both copies of the file are identical. I'm not particularly familiar with how dedicated servers work in PZ though so this is mostly assumption.
Zwijam Dywan 15 Mar, 2024 @ 2:44am 
Mod work on dedicated server. But for some reason after text change does not show in game intro. It does show what you did, but not my edit.

I don't have a folder called 2782997073. But the mod is installed. Am I missing something?
Eagle7 (Evo) 31 May, 2023 @ 8:44am 
Thank you, hate the game thinking it's plotting to kill me everytime I load and out of spite, I stay alive lol. At first it was a nice remark to remind me that I'm surviving against the odds but I'm getting real tired of the game not knowing I'm a good survivor at this point, don't need that negativity in your life LOL.

i made the ah shit here we go again the intro text
Amarga 9 Feb, 2023 @ 11:12pm 
Hi! Is there any way to separate a text in lines? I wanted to create an intro text with a quote from a philosopher but the text goes off screen because of it's length. Also is there a way to leave a blank line? Something like:

"Example text"
-Author
NialMontana  [author] 1 Feb, 2023 @ 9:59am 
@BlackGXRoblox lol no problem! Thanks for letting me know.
ROZPI##DALATOR 2000 1 Feb, 2023 @ 8:40am

NialMontana  [author] 31 Jan, 2023 @ 4:03am 
@BlackGXRoblox I haven't played in a fair while, I'll take a look when I get a chance.
ROZPI##DALATOR 2000 30 Jan, 2023 @ 8:26am 
sorry, but the this mod makes me unable to start the game
bamboocarpet 13 Jan, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
Thanks.
SkyRazar 8 Jul, 2022 @ 2:19pm 
look like this is only work for sp not supported for mp
Lalka 12 May, 2022 @ 1:14pm 
Okay, I'll try. Thank you!
NialMontana  [author] 12 May, 2022 @ 9:33am 
If you were to change the "EN" to the initials for whichever language I see no reason for it to not work. The game should also be fine to read any non-English characters too so long as the language is supported.
Lalka 12 May, 2022 @ 5:15am 
Can this mod work in other languages?
NialMontana  [author] 24 Mar, 2022 @ 4:37am 
Can't do randomised I'm afraid, game will always read them in order.
jmoren01 24 Mar, 2022 @ 4:18am 
cool. Can I put different sets of lines and have them randomized?
