@bikinihorst, you probably saw another server, mine doesn’t make mod packs. The only thing I do is exactly ask the mod creator if I can use it to translate the mod for my server.
My server has a similar name, but it’s not the top 1 server. Hahaha
Best regards, I’ll be sharing the translation files soon.

@Refúgio Z you can send the full translation to me by uploading the translation files and sharing the link to them here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2784972075/3826413307967764346/

if you mean that you want to repack my work and slap a "PTBR" label on top then it is a definite no. i already know your servers are not keen on adhering to modders' wishes by seeing your mod list on battlemetrics though.

First of all, thank you very much for your mods!
I'd like to know if I can translate the new add-on to PTBR. I have a server and would love to translate the mod.

@bikinihorst worked, thanks

discussions and descriptions have been merged / expanded and are now available in this guide: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3552110409

the description of the new vehicle ownership submod can also be found there.

please make a vidio tutorial about how to setup the global market PLEASE

Suggestion:
A mod that adds a configurable random delay before activating Safehouse protection after the last member of a faction logs out. While any member is online, the base remains unprotected — just like with the default setting DisableSafehouseWhenPlayerConnected=true.

The difference is that even after all faction members log off, protection does not activate immediately. Instead, it only kicks in after a random delay between 15 and 40 minutes (fully configurable).

The goal is to prevent abuse such as “tactical logout” or “combat logging”, where players disconnect to avoid having their base attacked.

This system helps create a fairer PvP environment by introducing a realistic window of vulnerability after players leave the server.

Hallo, there is a vidio how to setup the automatic item shop? i've tried for so long but still not working

@Woodland i already have this bug.
The owner disconect and reconnect and that work well :)

Anyone having issues with tile protection not letting a safehouse owner destroy/move tiles? This is a custom safezone, the members are able to destroy/move chairs but the owner is not. I have the Tile protection timer set to 2 IRL hours and tile protection bypassed my members. The players name is spelled correctly but they are getting the message "This is not your home", not "You need to wait".

hello how can I reset the ui, picked the wrong scale and now cant access the right side of the window for bikini tools

I had this mod in my server and I had issues with other mods and by other hand I dindt find a guide of how to edit it even that I enter to the main page.-.

how do i reset the UI sscale, somehow it went to 500% and i cannot use this, also cannot see the top right gear as its now offscreen.

what setting is causing it to say "this isn't my home" i just want ppl in the safehouses to be able to do what they want in a safehouse once it's claimed. not just the owner

Looks like I'll need to add a lot more than expected to get the paycheck system to pay out with different settings to my alt currency. Fingers crossed!

@Trimbo Slice

There's the default PZ part of this, with the keylocks having issues staying locked - what Bikinitools does is that it adds a cage to insure that the door is impassible when locked.

@Black Flag Forge

Yes, it's in the Economy Mod settings, and you have to add it to your submod.

Is there any chance I can add a secondary currency to the paycheck system?

To be clear about my last post. The doors being locked by this mod are interior doors.

Keypad locks cause a lot of doors to appear locked (only when using left-click or right-click menu to try to open) that otherwise wouldn't be locked in the interior of houses. Disabling this mod allows interior doors to be opened again. Additionally, opening door with 'e' key still works as it should. Once the door is open, clicking then works from that point onward to open the door.

Add the possibility for players (and for admins) to dump their data in the pod and selecting the option to do so, instead of just dying.

Hi! Could you make the BTSE_RestorePods function compatible with the Skillcap system? Right now, when you use a pod, traits are restored last, which means that skills get capped before the traits that unlock their full potential are applied.
If the traits that unlock the skill cap were restored first, all skill points would be recovered correctly!
I hope my explanation is clear.

Thank you so much for the mod, I use it on every server!

@bikinihorst i try some but with metal gate even if i use "wall wall sprite" to lock or "no sprite" Zombie keep avoiding the door :( and player can hit through walls

Is there a place to upload and download custom Blue prints?

@bikinihorst Thank you so much! Love the new UI btw! :D

@bikinihorst you're a legend thanks man, must have messed up my photoshop export!

@Nark0t1k define another sprite set for the walls in the sandbox options

@LilithEve i added a function that will check if the ui would be too big to fit on screen one or two updates ago, it would usually reset your settings to the smallest one when the ui is opened. if that fails (which it seems it did), close pz, go to C:\Users\*YOU*\Zomboid\Lua\ and delete btse_config.ini, then restart pz

Hi! I made my UI way too big and now can't access the UI settings. Is there a UI file I can modify or delete to reset? Or another way?

Some of my player use the leypad to make gate indestructible, they stay behind and can kill Z without any risk of being hit or bite.

Is there any way to counter that ?

@КОНЧЕННЫЙ https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2784972075/3767860527653716926/#c3767860527653718442

@DropHit has nothing to do with this mod. here's a link from 2021 explaining the issue and solutions https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/42925-how-to-fix-updated-mods-in-build-41-multiplayer/

@[BRE] Julien/Rich if you have tile protection via btse active it will by default always protect containers. this can be toggled off, but not on. there are multiple options to allow container interaction that destroy the loot spawns in the process

@RegularPlayer you can enable paychecks for ingame hours played or interest applied automatically in the sandbox options. if you want lua code to modify balances you can use this one on the server: BTSE.Commands.Economy:modifyUserAccountBalance(username, currency, amount) where amount would be positive or negative.

Is there a way to use code to Increment a Players Currency, Is there like a Variable or a Function for it?

Players on my server are unable to pick up some items like containers in buildings that I paste using the blueprints module. I thought it would have something to do with the tile protect module but I don't even see that in the server options.

@КОНЧЕННЫЙ {連結已移除}https://bikinitools.info/books/btse-economy/page/valuesandpriceslua

i got it! i literally had to create my own mod with those paths. now ill just have to follow his tutorial on how to add cars and ammo and such

Help. how to install the mod properly? i keep getting an error on BTSE_Base mod. we only use chat, economy, lock.

@GGEZPRO - maybe, just maybe you're supposed to explore it.... Using Files Explorer to see how it's setup so then you can create it yourself..

Bugged - getting errror file does not exist btse_blueprints_shared.lua

Good afternoon! Help please. I figured out how to change prices or add products, but I have no idea how to make the server accept my changes, can you write detailed instructions with BTSE_Economy and BTSE_Examples?

@Black Flag Forge
one of your "png" files is a renamed jpeg and the other one has a lowercase "b" for the module. names are case sensitive and the game does not like the whole jpg thing

@Alirexza
the examples mod was not meant to be copied exactly as it is because it is full of things that can interfere with normal server operations. i figured that was pretty clear since each file says you are to copy the individual file, not the whole example mod. your mod should be loaded somewhere after btse_economy and if there are issues during the process it logs those. check on the server the file Zomboid/Lua/btse_economy/shop_errors.log

I've not been able to get the thumbnails in the shop to work either. I have my shop prices mod
with media\UI\vehicle_shop\base.vehiclename.png just as in the btse economy folder and a small size within range but still doesnt show. I have my mod loading after btse.

i added stuff to global shop and change price in vehicle shop, but nothing changed after i run the server

@FreakyNinja

They're called modules, not integrated or mandatory, for a reason.

Can I use this without the Economy Module?

@Marsu your parameters in the shop function are off. there's 2 objects and your function call only has one. one is for prices, the other is for configuration of the entry. refer to the examples mod.

the thumbnail is usually chosen by the vehicle id itself, that means you do not even have to define it if it is not a special variant. it needs to be named with full namespace, like the car itself: "Base.SmallCar02". additionally - when working with images the game will cache them even between reloads so a full game restart is needed when a faulty file path was given once.

btse_economy does not depend on the chat in any way.

the text field not being writable will be fixed next updat. for text amounts like this please use a discussion next time.

@Fallen Seraph After testing out further for the vending machines. It seems that i cannot type into the "Tax Reciever/Mayor" field if its through the GUI.

If I enable Context menu's instead of the GUI then i am able to select the mayor option and type into the box it gives then. I have not tested out whether that player is actually receiving tax income. But ill pop over to my main server and start configuring it and see if it actually works from there

@Marsu
In your first question, the addSpecialParts, skinIndex, and thumbnailPath can't be blank, you have to actually add values to all of those and for the thumbnail there has to be a picture that you provide for that.

I don't have an exact answer to your second question, I haven't used the tax/mayor system. If I remember correctly, there can only be one bank zone and one mayor for that zone not multiples. I could be wrong about that.

Another question would be. I have the shop terminal setup for the main Community center of the server. I have other players making their own outpost and wanted to use the vending machines as an incentive to receive tax income. I could not type into the mayor field to direct taxes to that player. Even when checking all other settings i couldnt see anything that would prevent this other than not having a designated bank/shop zone

Could this be due to not having the bank/shop coordinates set, or due to not having the submod btse_chat

Ok I got added vehicles working if i just added an entry, images did not register. How would I input vehicles with an image, AND it would just give a random skin, no added upgrades.

example of current code, This currently causes just the vehicle shop to error out:

BTSE.Economy:addVehicleShopEntry("Base.SmallCar02", {
["cash_primary"] = 499.99,
["primary"] = 574.99,
repairAllParts = true,
addSpecialParts = {
[""] = "",
[""] = "",
[""] = "",
},
description = "",
skinIndex = "",
thumbnailPath = "media/ui/vehicle_shop/SmallCar02.png",
});


Where with this line, the cars all register, everything works fine. BUT the Thumbnail image does not load.

BTSE.Economy:addVehicleShopEntry("Base.SmallCar02", {
["cash_primary"] = 499.99,
["primary"] = 574.99,
}, {
repairAllParts = true,
thumbnailPath = "media/ui/example/SmallCar02.png",
});
