Firearms Patch - Just the Silencers

Description
Patch for Hyzo' s (awesome) Firearms mod.

Firearms B41 is required for this mod to function.

Just adds the non improvised silencers to the permitted vanilla weapons.

Removes all non vanilla weapons and attachments (except silencers) and restores the vanilla models, textures, sounds and names.

WILL REMOVE ANY NON VANILLA FIREARMS B41 WEAPONS IN THE PLAYER'S INVENTORY OR STORAGE IF ADDED TO AN EXISTING SAVE

Also reverts any changes to vanilla weapons such as the 5 round direct load for the MSR788 (Ruger M77).

As the title says - just the silencers - for those that want to enjoy a slightly more stealthy vanilla experience :-)

if you want to also have Hyzo's great looking models and textures for the weapons, please use my other patch: Firearms Patch - Pretty Vanilla Guns (plus silencers)

Please note that this was originally created just for myself, but i decided to share it once i worked out how to make it a patch, so that it would require users to subscribe to the original (awesome) mod - since i would certainly not upload another modder's assets (models, textures etc) without their permission - as well as not wanting to prevent people from finding the great mod that inspired this - and now that it is a patch - all that is solved :-)

All credit to Hyzo for creating the awesome mod that this is patching

There will be follow up patches since i love the mod - i just also like to pick and choose the bits i use - and it was bugging me that there wasn't a working vanilla silencers mod for the current b41 versions

And for those that haven't yet tried it - do try out Hyzo's excellent mod without the patch - you already have it installed it you are using this patch - and then please do go over and give the mod a favourite and a like, and any other nice stuff you want to do (may i suggest the Michelangelo award?) :-)

Notes:

I have not modified the loot distribution for the silencers - and so they will spawn in the same places and at the same frequencies as in the original mod, unless that mod gets updated (since i had to overwrite the file in order to make the necessary changes)

also note that since i have not modified the distribution, you will still not find silencers in vehicles or on bodies, since Hyzo has not yet implemented that - i may add some options or an additional patch to do it at some point though

i have modified the EN translations to restore the vanilla names and description, and to mark any unused sandbox options (i do not think one mod can remove another's sandbox options, but it can overwrite the translations).

Now includes Spanish translations - kindly provided by Steam User WillyCazuela - many thanks :-)

Compatibility
Just in case anyone wonders - this patch is not compatible with any of my other Firearms patches (for obvious reasons)

- for those that want a vanilla game, but with nicer looking weapons (as well as silencers), instead try Firearms Patch - Pretty Vanilla Guns (plus silencers)
- and for those that want to select which weapons they use from the Firearms mod, instead try Firearms Patch - Weapon Selector

my other Firearms patches:
Firearms Patch - Pretty Vanilla Guns (plus silencers)
Firearms Patch - AR-15 Suppressor (and scopes)
Firearms Patch - Weapon Selector
Firearms Patch - Translations - WIP (ES)

@₢aK - the Firearms mod itself has an option to remove the need for a screwdriver - but i think it applies it to all attachments - not just the silencers

but yeah - ideally one would not need a tool to attach the silencer

however - you tend to do it once and leave it attached forever - so is not so much of a hassle in that respect

plus screwdrivers are a pretty essential bit of kit :-)

anyway - hopefully all is working for you now :-)

I really didn't know I needed a screwdriver to add some accessory ... but unnecessary for a simple silencer

@₢aK - it's been a while since i played - but maybe you don't have a screwdriver? they work like any other attachment - they also use the same attachment slot as some other attachments - so you will need to remove those (iirc the game does not allow replacing of attachments that share the same slot, you need to remove one and then attach the other)

hopefully that all gets it sorted for you :-)

What do you need to do to make it work? There is no option to equip the silencer on the weapon

@smithnys:

yes, very late to answer - and i see no one else did - hopefully you found a suppressor or two

it does depend on your loot rarity settings - but it is possible to simply not find them - since they are just added to the loot lists for the building where guns and ammo spawn - and so it all depends on the loot rolls

so if they are not in any of the police stations, gun stores, or military weapon stores, you may be out of luck for that game

even on the Initial Infection preset you may have to hunt around for them, since by default they are set to Insanely Rare (since they are very overpowered)

so you may want to change that sandbox setting if you want to find some

@Agent Striker:

apologies i have been away from the game for a long time - just returned - i am sure you found how to spawn stuff in - but if not the easiest way is to add the -debug option to the start properties - you will then get access to the in game debug menus - one of which is an item library that will allow you to add items (just type silencer or suppressor into the filter)

I tried this mod in debug mode and went to the military checkpoint and didn't find any suppressors. Anyone know where the best place to find a suppressor would be with out cheats?
Agent Striker 8 Mar, 2023 @ 3:21pm 
What are the cheat mods called to spawn yourself in stuff? All i really want with my friend is to use them because the zomboids really love to listen for sound and melee doesn't cut it sometimes.
Agent Striker 8 Mar, 2023 @ 3:20pm 
Alright thank you.

@Agent Striker:

the spawn locations and frequencies are the same as in the main Firearms B41 mod

you can use debug mode or one of the cheat mods to spawn in a suppressor if you want

maybe i will add an option to spawn with one - but you could also use my Basic Spawns - Police mod to spawn at a police station which will give you a higher chance of finding a suppressor at the start of the game
