[B42] 360º Vision

---

This mod removes the character’s cone-shaped vision and allows full 360º vision with no shadows. Perfect for scared cautious players (like me)!

---

Build 42.18 changed how Java files are organized in the project, making the installation process slightly more laborious. The class we modify to remove the vision cone, LightingJNI.class, is now compiled inside the projectzomboid.jar package (thanks to Auguk for pointing this out in the comments). Because of this, there are now two ways to install the mod:

The simple method, used exclusively for build 42.18.

The laborious method, used for builds > 42.18 where the mod is still compatible, but the simple installation no longer works.

1. Method A (simple):

   1.1. Subscribe to the mod and go to the folder where the mod was downloaded:
   C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent1086003449252911mods360Visionmedia42.18.

   1.2. Copy the file projectzomboid.jar.

   1.3. Paste it and replace the original file located at:
   C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonProjectZomboid.

   • Done! The mod is installed and will take effect on all saves you create or continue on this computer.

2. Method B (laborious):

   You should try this method for later updates where the mod may still work. This method exists because, from now on, most PZ updates will likely modify the projectzomboid.jar package. Because of that, we can no longer replace the entire package; instead, we must replace only the internal class LightingJNI.class:

   2.1. Navigate to:
   C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonProjectZomboid.

   2.2. Right-click projectzomboid.jar → “Open with” → “WinRAR”.

   2.3. In the WinRAR navigation window that just opened, navigate to the folder “zombieiso”.

   2.4. Right-click LightingJNI.class → “Delete files”. This process may take from seconds to minutes. Do not close the WinRAR window after this.

   2.5. Navigate to the mod folder:
   C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent1086003449252911mods360Visionmedia42.18.

   2.6. Click and drag the file LightingJNI.class into the WinRAR navigation window, exactly into the same folder where we previously deleted the original file. A new configuration window will appear—just click “OK” and wait for the file to be added.

   • Done! The mod is installed and will take effect on all saves you create or continue on this computer.

1. Go to your Steam Library.
2. Find Project Zomboid, right-click it, then click Properties.
3. Click the side menu Installed Files.
4. Finally, click Verify integrity of game files. The Steam client will detect that the modified file metadata is incorrect and will download the original file.

• Does this mod work on build 41?
  No. There are already mods with the same purpose available for build 41 on the Workshop.
• Is this mod safe? Can I add or remove it from existing saves?
  Yes! Since this mod only modifies calculations related to the character’s vision, you can enable or disable it at any time on any save.
• Does this mod allow me to see zombies through walls?
  No.
• Will zombies also have 360º vision?
  No.
• PZ updated and the mod no longer works! Please update it!
  After an update, it is likely and expected that the mod will stop working. In this case, you should perform a new clean manual installation, preferably using Method B. I do not intend to update the mod as long as Method B continues to work.

  If the mod still does not work, let me know in the comments and wait anywhere between 15 minutes and 7 days for an update.

• Does this mod work in multiplayer?
  I haven’t tested it yet, but please do not use it on public servers.
