PZ Pulse

PZ Pulse is a live status dashboard to keep track of your character's numerous details. Open it in any browser to have everything you need visible at a glance.

Choose panels

Most panels are a somewhat faithful recreation of the in-game character window:

• Info - name, profession, traits, weight, favorite weapon, kills, time survived
• Skills/XP - every skill, level + progress to next, with level-up and XP flashes
• Health - overall + per-body-part damage and wound flags
• Protection - bite/scratch defense per body part from your clothing
• Body Temperature - core temp, body heat, and per-part skin temp / insulation
• Moodles & Needs - the full HUD moodle stack plus hunger, thirst, fatigue, stress, panic, etc.

Extra panels beyond the character window:

• Weapon Condition - in-hand durability, sharpness, jam/ammo/chamber, attachments
• Clothing - per-garment condition, holes, and protection - a keep-or-toss view
• Quickload Slots - your equipment-hotbar loadout
• Encumbrance - carry load vs. capacity with the HeavyLoad tier
• Open Wounds - a worst-first triage list of active, untreated injuries
• Recent Recipes - a transient note when you learn something new

Customizable

• Drag panels by their title bar to move them between columns or reorder them.
• Choose the column count and show/hide any panel.
• Per-panel font and icon sizes, animation toggles, and flash timings.
• Layout is saved in your browser, so your preferences stick.

How to use

• Enable the mod and load a save.
• Open the mod's options screen and use the Copy dashboard URL button, then paste it into your browser's address bar and bookmark it.
• Drag the page to your second monitor (press F11 to fullscreen it).
• It updates in real time, the refresh rate is adjustable via the in-game mod options.

This is NOT online

• The heartbeat / data lives in your Zomboid\Lua\PZ_Pulse folder.
• The webpage lives in your mod folder.
• It makes no network connections. It contacts no servers.

Can I share it to my phone / tablet / laptop / OBS?

• Here is a script for this on github
• It's on GitHub because Steam forums strip slashes from posts.
• Windows will give you security warnings and you will have to say ok.
• Only run this on private networks.

Translation?

• The game translates many of the words for free.
• For the rest here's a: Language Pack

Can I have a panel that does X?

• Anyone can add a panel with their own mod, and it does not need any permission from me.
• There is a small API for it, plus a complete demo panel to copy and rename:
• PZ Pulse extension API on GitHub
• Your mod adds one Lua table and (optionally) a small .js file. Your panel then gets the same title bar, drag, collapse, hide and font-size controls as the built-in ones.
• Example: FireBjorne's Nutrition Panel is a separate mod that draws itself inside PZ Pulse.

Notes

• Read-only - unfortunately it cannot be interactive.
• Needs a second monitor (or a spare window) to be useful.
• Project Zomboid Build 42 only.
• No dependencies.
• Singleplayer and multiplayer.

Steam Workshop Meta

• A crisp high-five to FireBjorne for good ideas.
