yektabro 25 Sep @ 4:56am

My bad. Wrong place kekw

@Casastrophist - The mod is designed for use with automatic handguns and rifles, the intent being a little buff to otherwise under-used firearms. While shotguns, and revolvers can be added manually by the user, it was never the intended purpose, given they were already the better options in vanilla.

Revolvers are quiet, and accurate while shotguns are multi-target death blasters. In contrast, automatics are much louder, and suffer from jamming, slow-loading and other issues, making them the inferior choice in vanilla.

This mod not being designed for shotguns, there is bound to be some display issues.

Yes, I understand your pain :)))

@Acetato - Keep looking I guess?

@SupEr ^-^ Этот мод работает только с ванильным огнестрельным оружием. В моей мастерской доступен патч «Modded Firearm Patch», который добавляет несколько модифицированных моделей огнестрельного оружия.

@Golden Dragon - I will look into it on both counts,but updating PZ mods is not my priority right now coz they Devs keep breaking them every time they update.

@SDgamer and @javierdk2324 - Same as I said to SupEr ^-^ - This mod only works with vanilla firearms. The Modded Firearm Patch is available in my workshop, which adds several modified firearm models.
javierdk2324 18 Sep @ 3:37pm 
so judging by the video, this silencer mod is compatible with guns from other mods as well?
SDgamer 18 Sep @ 1:28pm 
Do this work with the Scrap Guns from The Workshop's Scrap Guns add-on? If not not could you please add a patch for that?
Golden Dragon 16 Sep @ 11:29am 
Also just question, can you move suppressor in sub-category where all other upgrades located?
Golden Dragon 15 Sep @ 6:20am 
Thx! Nice mod.
I think you can add "Research" into meny, to research crafting makeshift if you found industrial one. Like on new weapons and armor in Z updates.

как поставить ваш глушитель на автоматы и пистолеты на этот мод P.S.A Пост-советское вооружение

@Alex Shakura - You watched the video, but you're still asking this question? ==

If this mod was"just for aesthetics" the group of zeds that were just across the road would have beelined for the character on the first shot she fired. They did not, because this mod suppresses the sound. The retail suppressor sound carries a short distance, with the makeshift one, it carries further, and without one it carries for blocks.

Since you claim to have watched the video, you should already know this, coz I stated as much in the video, and even demonstrated this ==
yektabro 6 Sep @ 5:14am 
@Alex Shakura did you find an answer ? im also curios.
Alex Shakura 29 Aug @ 2:55pm 
Is this mod just for aesthetics or does it also have a function? Because from the video it seems that zombies are attracted to the sound of gunfire anyway, that shouldn't happen... What kind of silencer is it if it doesn't silence, what is the range of the silencer? At what distance can zombies hear you compared to a weapon without a silencer.
妖孽 29 Aug @ 9:31am 
@Monkey Magic -My goodness, I have successfully resolved this issue. Thank you for your help.
Monkey Magic  [author] 28 Aug @ 11:06am 
@Creyver - This mod predates the gunlights, but they prolly share the same connection slot
Creyver 28 Aug @ 10:18am 
A suppressor and a flashlight cannot be installed on pistols. Only one at a time.
Monkey Magic  [author] 25 Aug @ 1:39am 
@妖孽 - Read the change notes. I stated that I left the old sounds in, if people prefer those and wanna swap them back locally. TBH, I kinda like the echo. Stands to reason in world where your char is the only living soul.

@Gweeyy- I believe there's a spoiler in the thread somewhere with the title you can search for. Iunno the ID off the top of my head. I make a ton ofmods lol

@Cerified Pyro - please read the description

@Shift17891 and @Bucket - please read the description, and watch the video.
Bucket 23 Aug @ 9:22pm 
i could attach it to the guns but it didnt muffle the sound radius at all, same amount of zombies showed up and it sounded the same as well
Shift17891 23 Aug @ 7:01pm 
doesnt work, cant attach to gun anymore
Certified Pyro 19 Aug @ 9:40am 
Does this Mod work with VFE?
Gweeyy 6 Aug @ 6:30pm 
may I know the BaseID of the Recipe?
妖孽 5 Aug @ 4:55pm 
I strongly recommend switching back to the previous muffler sound effect, as the echo is too noticeable now, like shooting in a gun training room.
Purple Nebula 3 Aug @ 12:50pm 
Wonder when Steam users learn to READ
Monkey Magic  [author] 1 Aug @ 8:11am 
@Icetea - Read the descriptions on the mods you are using. Rain's Firearms & Gun Parts states in large blue letters that their mod is not compatible with other gun, or attachemnts mods D:

AltenRoguerz - Likewise. This mod states that it's made for vanilla firearms . VFE is a firearms and attachment mod, it will not be compatible.

I have made a couple companion mods that add a few other modded firearms, but these are either a single, or a few firearms only. You can search them in my workshop.
Icetea 31 Jul @ 9:06am 
does this mod support rain's guns in b42? Thank you! <3
AltenRoguerz 29 Jul @ 7:04pm 
VFE compatible?
Wiking 28 Jul @ 4:03am 
Damn... Didn't expect an update and the willingness to listen to feedback that fast. Good job. Will give it a try.

But yeah, no. Probably not XD
borrowdaledrew 27 Jul @ 6:41pm 
You could have a rare drop silencer that does the Bondish sound, and be a little cheeky and have the game play the bond sting whenever you get a one shot kill with it or something lol.
Maybe a little silly for zomboid perhaps.
Monkey Magic  [author] 27 Jul @ 3:28pm 
@Wiking - I've been thinking about it TBH, and while I have a decent sound clip for retail silencers, but iunno where I'm supposed to get a sound for a "makeshift" silencer XD. I'll have a play around with it in Audacity of something later and see what I come up with.

EDIT - Sounds have been updated. The old ones are still available in the sound folder. Feedback appreciated. Also, free to buy my a cuppa :P
Wiking 27 Jul @ 5:30am 
Anyway you could improve this mod with new and better sounds. As it is now it's pretty horrible and unimmersive to be honest. As the only silencer mod to work with b42 you are our only hope.
Monkey Magic  [author] 22 Jul @ 5:54pm 
@gayonne - You were probably just unlucky, or maybe visited the areas you search prior to installing the mod. The distribution only works for zones you have not visited. In general, one is more likely to find a retail suppressor, but one can find makeshift ones in a few locations. Since you found the recipe, they are simple enough to craft though.

@volvofh540turbocompresordieselv8 - there's a spoiler somewhere in the chat for likely recipe spawn locations. As for the items, they spawn where you would expect to encounter them. PLaces such as police stations, army bases, army surplus stores and so on.
where it spawn?
gayonne 16 Jul @ 10:47pm 
Does this mod only generate factory-made suppressors for new games? I installed this mod mid-way through an existing save, found the recipe for the makeshift suppressor, but went to 2-3 gun-containing locations (military surplus store, police station, etc.) which I have not previously discovered and there is ZERO suppressor to be found among the weapon attachments. Loot settings are as per default apocalypse settings. Was I being terribly unlucky, or does the mod's loot distribution work mid-game?
Monkey Magic  [author] 15 Jul @ 6:50pm 
@Yautjess - I am far too busy/lazy to faff around with video editing. If it gets the point across, it's good enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fred 15 Jul @ 6:10pm 
suppressor only version without changes to firearms?
Yautjess 15 Jul @ 10:23am 
All due respect, the linked showcase video is really a hot mess...of what's supposed to be a straight forward presentation; could've cut to make it watchable at least
BigMommaGart 11 Jul @ 4:15pm 
given the video i assumed that the muzzle flash thing was intentional and wasnt something your mod handled, but if an update broke it thats understandable.
Monkey Magic  [author] 11 Jul @ 1:16pm 
@BigMommaGart - the muzzle flash got broke with B42 at some point - like multiple times. I am done fixing shit they are just gonna break again. Besides, I recommend using the mod Vanilla Muzzleflash Enhanced which IIRC is better implemented in any case and didn't have the issue last time I checked
BigMommaGart 11 Jul @ 12:58pm 
really good ideas on this mod but the execution is a bit sub par. t he muzzle flash still showing when you have a suppressor equipped and the goldeneye silenced ppk sound really take away from the immersion.

thank you for your work but i hope these things could change in future versions
Monkey Magic  [author] 11 Jul @ 10:43am 
@sidokitos and @Der Meisterdieb - the sound files are located in */SimpleSilencers/42/media/sound. You can play them with media player or whatever to see what they should sound like (they are actually a bit quieter in game) so if you're hearing something different, it's probably another mod causing a conflict, or maybe your game sound settings are weird or something.

I've never had an issue with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
roytohan 11 Jul @ 9:57am 
the mod is nice but the sound is horrible, im currently running a server with it and i wanted to know if there is any way i can change the sound or something?
sidokitos 11 Jul @ 9:35am 
@Monkey Magic I just installed the mod and found a silencer, I added it to my rifle but when I went to shoot it made a noise as if it didn't have the silencer, what could it be?
yoyo 9 Jul @ 5:15am 
I have the same problem.
Monkey Magic  [author] 9 Jul @ 4:49am 
Should work fine, but like all mods that add stuff to the loot table will only for unexplored sections of the map.
AsheKeroza 9 Jul @ 4:39am 
Does it work for ongoing saved games?
I installed it and still haven't found any suppressors
Monkey Magic  [author] 5 Jul @ 4:27pm 
@SDgamer - It's Steam. It's stuck in "checking" phase for some reason. Hopefully they will push it through soon
SDgamer 5 Jul @ 2:55pm 
@Monkey Magic I noticed you made one for Modded Guns in general but, when i click on that it says it is Hidden or i don't have permission to look at it. Did you mean to put that up?
