does this still work on earlier versions
ira Demon 18 Aug @ 8:57am 
was there a option to show status bar of the pee/poop percentage on bottom left of the screen that stays up? i cannot recall if that was a thing or not.

Hello! First of all , I love this mod, i downloaded it because i thought it was funny but it is surprisingly balanced and adds a layer of immersion I enjoy!
I have noticed some bugs Id want to share. I dont know if they are fixed on the preview version, but they are this:
-Toilet paper doesnt get updated, always says 100% even if i have already used it
- sometimes even after i pee i still get groin pain as if my character is still holding it and doesnt go away until i have to pee again.

Furthermore, some sugestions:
- chance to clog toilet , so having a plunger near would be cool.
- the human feces could be dug out the toilet or made in a spacial crafted toilet/outhouse so you can pick it to make fertilizer
- getting the smell debuf when the house doesnt have water acess and you make it in a toilet, because you cannot flush

keep up the great work!

@mohtools The urine puddle is kind of transparent, so might be hard to see. That causes the bad smell. Hopefully not hard to spot when you actually know it's a feature and there lol
mohtools 14 Aug @ 11:09pm 
Hi, The lingering bad smell doesn't want to go away. I washed all soiled clothes and I also washed myself. I also took off all my clothes and ran far away from base, but still the bad smell is present. Would could be the problem?
TooPettyMG 12 Aug @ 8:25pm 
I suggest you make it so that you can use other products to clean items as well, I was confused for a while, trying to use cleaning liquid or bleach to clean one pair of pants, but then I realized I can only use soap.
C3DAG 11 Aug @ 7:29pm 
toilet paper finally has a use
American 8 Aug @ 6:44am 
how do I wash soiled clothes.
christianlovescats67 8 Aug @ 6:21am 
@Monkeyshark what mod might be conflicting it?
Nabissimo 6 Aug @ 11:52am 
i sugest being able to use the feces as compost or fertilizer!
MonkeyShark  [author] 3 Aug @ 6:36pm 
@christianlovescats67 Has to be a mod conflict or something. Nothing else would've been able to break it
christianlovescats67 2 Aug @ 6:49am 
The mod won't show up when in-game.
huh? 31 Jul @ 6:49pm 
\/ you should have this mf flayed
SzeroQi Swal 27 Jul @ 12:40am 
@MonkeyShark, You could make a trait like piss kink or something and it could allow you to drink unfiltered urine. It could also give you happiness when peeing outside the bathroom and make your character more resistant to the smell of urine. I think it should have to be pretty expensive though.
MonkeyShark  [author] 26 Jul @ 3:46am 
@SzeroQi Swal Filtering is planned. Unfiltered urine is a fluid in game though, so you can still mix it with pepsi in the meantime lol
SzeroQi Swal 26 Jul @ 3:42am 
@MonkeyShark, Will there ever be an option to drink urine?
MonkeyShark  [author] 25 Jul @ 4:19pm 
@nana It's fixed in the "preview" version. Right now the preview version doesn't have any errors besides one known audio bug, so if you want to go ahead and enable that while I continue testing, that's one way to get around it. Otherwise you'll have to wait a few days for me to push the 0.13.0 update to this version.
nana 25 Jul @ 4:15pm 
defecated pants is annoying,
can we clean dirty pants with just water? because soap in this game is quite rare and runs out quickly. i hope u fix it
EVA 24 Jul @ 1:07pm 
Oh...

@Akuma

1. God, I was under the impression it *was* impossible the entire time. Something about trying to make default zomboid's broken ass moodle values affect custom events is so scuffed. Gonna *try* to make it only affect it after 75%.

2. I'll do that first part. I want to make rain clear it but not entirely sure how I can smoothly without causing tons of issues, but I'll try at some point.

3. I implemented this in my private build. I'll be publishing it on the "preview" version of the mod soon.

4. What exactly do you mean?

5. I've tried to fix this, it needs a custom animation, but any time I export a custom animation to zomboid it just doesn't load. The engine is *really* picky, and even following tutorials it just won't work. Thinking it's maybe my Blender version, or maybe I'm just dumb, either way I want to but actual features need to be my priority for now. Hopefully someone shows up and offers help at some point.
Akuma 23 Jul @ 1:38pm 
@MonkeyShark Okay so after I've lost two characters because I randomly stop to shit while herding zombies, I have some feedback:

1. Unless the player has the incontinence trait on, the player should not randomly shit/piss when you're on the first stage of the moodle.

2. Let us be able to clean up puddles with a rag and make it so the excrement washes away in the rain too. Doesn't make since that a pee puddle outside persists through a thunderstorm.

3. The ability to use bleach/cleaning liquid instead of just soap. I get why not being able to use just water is set because realistically you'd still smell like feces if all you did was wash them in a sink.

4. The pausing without any warning. Give us a warning. For example have our player say, "I can't hold it anymore" or something to that effect.

5. The clipping into the toilet. Previous mods like Lifestlye: Hobbies got the sitting on the toilet thing down.
darkArt 23 Jul @ 2:13am 
It would be nice to be able to wash myself using water instead of wiping. And even If I choose not to wipe, still being able to wash myself with water before putting my underwear and pants in order to prevent the defecated effects on clothes. Also, you could improve the positioning so the player would not clip through the toilet while using it, just make it so they stand in front of and not right over it.
Akuma 22 Jul @ 11:41pm 
@MonkeyShark, I wasn't seeing the option to "wipe with _____" because it was overlapping with other parts of the vanilla UI.
MonkeyShark  [author] 22 Jul @ 11:20pm 
@Akuma Well what'd you do lol? Is the UI difficult to understand in any way, or anything I can do to improve it?
Akuma 22 Jul @ 11:03pm 
@MonkeyShark Never mind, I figured it out lol.
MonkeyShark  [author] 22 Jul @ 11:00pm 
@Akuma Can you answer these questions please? Or at least as many as you can:
1. What clothing item were you wearing
2. Did you have underwear or anything else that serves as clothing for your legs, like multiple layers of clothes?
3. What did you use as the wiping option, and how many of that item did you have.
Akuma 22 Jul @ 10:10pm 
For whatever reason I still get poop on my pants whenever I use the toilet. (I'm not using the "dont wipe option)
MonkeyShark  [author] 22 Jul @ 9:32pm 
@Kaman_Mc Just got multiple cleaning item options working for clothes (also can use water with slight penalty), so I'll try to get this one working since it fits. And thank you, I've worked a lot on it, and I'm hoping to flesh out a lot more features to make it as stable and vanilla-like as I can.
Kaman_Mc 22 Jul @ 8:58pm 
Just a suggestion it would be nice to clean clothes in a washing machine great mod I love the immersion it provides
MonkeyShark  [author] 21 Jul @ 1:35pm 
@NalMac I'll work on this next
NalMac 21 Jul @ 12:29pm 
Please let us use more than just soap to clean soiled clothes. I ran around with poo shorts on for 3 days with both bleach and cleaning liquid in my bag just because I couldn't find a single bar of soap.
MonkeyShark  [author] 21 Jul @ 12:04am 
Custom sounds have been replaced with loops, which properly loop on the player (not the player square like before) the entire duration of the action, rather than only when it finishes. This system will be improved soon and in the future, but this is a lot better.

Going to be published to the preview version tomorrow since it's brand new and planned to be part of 0.13.0.
MonkeyShark  [author] 19 Jul @ 4:13pm 
Decided to create a preview version of this mod:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3529109383

From now on most updates will probably be pushed to that one temporarily before being released here. The goal is to make the main mod somewhat more stable, but obviously since Build 42 in itself is unstable, it's partly out of my control.

I *DO NOT* plan to be careless with the preview branch though, because I want to incentivize people to use it. I still need bug reports and feedback to make sure things don't break lol.
MonkeyShark  [author] 19 Jul @ 12:47pm 
@varken I implemented them at some point but it's either a bug or the code got deleted. So its an implementation problem, not a mod conflict, I don't believe. Should be relatively easy for me to fix
MonkeyShark  [author] 19 Jul @ 12:45pm 
@Brooke Yomotsu I don't think I've encountered this. I'll look into it as soon as possible though
Brooke Yomotsu 19 Jul @ 8:17am 
@Monkeyshark thats the problem, there is no wipe option
it appeared the first time but every time after that, nothing shows anymore
varken 19 Jul @ 2:16am 
Hey @MonkeyShark, one question - should I hear any sounds? I found sound files in mod folder but can't hear any sound... Sounds from other mods work without problem. Is it not implemented feature or rather mod conflict?
MonkeyShark  [author] 18 Jul @ 5:54pm 
@Brooke Yomotsu Are you clicking on a wipe option in the dropdown
Brooke Yomotsu 16 Jul @ 8:36am 
i CANNOT shit, i press the button and it does nothing
SzeroQi Swal 16 Jul @ 8:30am 
@MonkeyShark Well that sucks, from what I remember mods like excrementum from build 41 had custom animations so maybe it's something with build 42.
MonkeyShark  [author] 16 Jul @ 1:56am 
@SzeroQi Swal I've messed with custom animations, no matter what I try it just doesn't seem to work (exporting from Blender to Zomboid). I'll keep trying occasionally, but I'd rather work on features that I actually know how to complete lol. Also sounds, that should be happening not too far from now.
SzeroQi Swal 15 Jul @ 8:09pm 
You could pee into pretty much anything if you want to so it's hard for me to give specific ideas but a piss drawer would be funny. Also one thing I'd like to say is that the mod could use a animation and sound upgrade, idk how it looks like with male characters since I don't really play with them but female characters clip throug toilets and sinks and get on one knee to pee, there also aren't really any sounds related to peeing.
MonkeyShark  [author] 15 Jul @ 4:31pm 
@NalMac Lol, sounds impossible to do realistically, but might add it anyway.
NalMac 15 Jul @ 4:19pm 
@MonkeyShark Gotcha, that's understandable. In that case if I could pick 1 funny tile for bathroom purposes it would have to be mailboxes. Special delivery!
MonkeyShark  [author] 15 Jul @ 4:13pm 
@NalMac Currently I'm just focused on tiles, but I'm going to be fixing the pee in container calculations soon, as well as adding defecating in containers. Main reason I've avoided it so far is because I had to make custom functionality, but I might just make feces count as a "liquid" technically, only really in context of containers. Much easier that way lol.
NalMac 15 Jul @ 4:09pm 
@MonkeyShark Excrementum had the ability to put a bucket into an out house toilet so that you can use those but just being able to crap into a bucket on it's own would be cool. not really a tole so idk if that fits into what you are asking,
MonkeyShark  [author] 15 Jul @ 3:52pm 
Reorganizing the code and adding support for water (ponds, lakes, etc), bushes, trees, trash cans, dumpsters, and open windows. If anyone has any ideas for anything else to support, let me know. This is for 0.13.0
MonkeyShark  [author] 15 Jul @ 11:30am 
@SzeroQi Swal You can already only use urinals as a male, so that's not a big deal in my opinion. It'd only be gender-based for a few specific things that just don't make much sense.Could also still have the chance be the same but tweak animation times slightly, so you can go out through the window the same as a male, but 1.5x or 2x the amount of time to get in position.

Either way, gender-specific changes are already in the game in a basic form, and I plan to have a sandbox option that adds complete parity, so if someone really hates it they can just play without it.
SzeroQi Swal 15 Jul @ 8:55am 
@MonkeyShark I think the chance mechanic would have to mostly depend on the gender of a character, since men would have a far easier time peeing out a window than a woman would have. Maybe it could be balanced out with traits but the way game works you pick your traits before you make your character so idk.
MonkeyShark  [author] 14 Jul @ 3:45pm 
@SzeroQi Swal (had to avoid character limit)

Using more things will be added soon. Trash cans, bushes, and out of open windows is a good idea. I wonder if I should detect where the pee would realistically land outside of the window and create a puddle there. Either way, I'll implement it based on how realistically someone actually could. Someone sitting on a tall trash can to poop would fall in lol.

One last thing, considering having a chance of success mechanic when going in different things. Not only would it tie in to the social anxiety traits and everything, I think it'd help balance it. The chance will be how easily you can go. If you have any input on that let me know.
