hm

one of my mods has a "-" in the id

can't translate it lol

[thin hornet]

ModID should always be as simple as possible such as no space no special character

[sour island]

oh wait I think I messed up the translation pointer

[thin hornet]

ModName = My sup3r mod-is fr#aking cool 123
ModID = MySuperModIsFreakingCool123

[sour island]

yeah it was the pointer, I can translate with a -

Yeah I usually dont use spaces and only letters

cnd was started with a github thing so it got saddled with the -

[thin hornet]

if you really need to change the ModID i suggest just adding a new mod to the package with the new mod ID, and add a check in the old mod that if the new mod id is active to return;

eventually gradually people will switch and you remove it

[sour island]

Good advice

[glad pivot]

Anyone here knows the creator of the site "map.projectzomboid"???

[scarlet fossil]

i do wonder if someone needs a voice actor for mods

[open abyss]

Fatigue, when high is what causes the character to get tired, right?

[open abyss]

try reload the page and look near the, it tends to show up at the bottom of the page, giving you contact info as well as a github

Fatigue, when high is what causes the character to get tired, right?
IT might seem dumb of me to ask, but we also got an endurance meter... So i'm kind of confused...

[weak sierra]

endurance is short-term "i need to rest a bit" exhaustion type tired, fatigue is "i need to sleep" type tired

if you go mow the lawn you probably wanna sit for a bit and relax, but you don't need to necessarily sleep 8 hours

Looking for Modders/Scripters, if you got experience DM me.

[open abyss]

Looking for Devs of PZ: I'd like to say Hello 😛

[open abyss]

I'm so freaking sad... the Keytar, Bass and electric guitar does not make musical notes when it hits zombies... sooo dissapointed!

Here i was hoping to relive some Dead Rising silliness, even a bit, via some fun "weapons" and all i get is a bonk...

I feel sooo let down!

I'm half-way tempted to downvote the game cause of this...

[rancid tendon]

query

i'm working on a spawnpoint mod

but the coords used for spawnpoints and the coords used in game don't seem to quite... line up

{worldX = , worldY = , posX = , posY = }
if i wanted to fill this out to point to 10617,6640,0 in game how would i do that?

[thin hornet]

to get worldX and worldY you need to divide by 300

10617 / 300 = 35~~.39~~
6640 / 300 = 22~~.133333333333333333333333333333~~
0

35 * 300 = 10,500 so 10617 - 10,500 = posX

xD weird eh?

[rancid tendon]

ha

gotcha!

[thin hornet]

😄

[rancid tendon]

and if i just put the 10617 and 6640 into posx and posy, that'll work?

[thin hornet]

nope

[rancid tendon]

oh wait i see

i understand now

[thin hornet]

worldX = floor(playerX / 300)
posX = playerX - (worldX * 300)

[rancid tendon]

the posx would be 117 then, yeah?

[thin hornet]

yeah

[rancid tendon]

does the same apply to the y?

so it'd be 117, 40

[thin hornet]

Spawnpoint Calculation

worldX = floor(playerX / 300)
posX = playerX - (worldX * 300)

worldY = floor(playerY / 300)
posY = playerY - (worldY * 300)

[rancid tendon]

perfect

thank you!

[fiery pecan]

welp. I gave up on overriding the cars, and have settled for using the skinIndex. But I have one, HUGE problem.... the textureLights field in the script file. Any idea how to change this in lua?

[worldly olive]

Hello!
Minor question because I'm not finding it 😂
I found IsRunning, IsSprinting and IsSneaking functions, is there something like IsWalking? Coudln't find it but maybe it has another name? 🤔

[wraith root]

@sour island We are looking into it on my server, but was gonna post this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/998315620439445596/1002002490562199623/unknown.png

not sure if it has to do with your updates made today

most likely not

[thin hornet]

if not running and not sprinting and player:isMoving() then
  -- is walking
end

[wraith root]

Do you happen to know if Base.Stone is a proper item?

or is the wiki out of date for item list IDs

[thin hornet]

If you have debug mode enabled, you can right click an item and check its ID

so just spawn what ever you need and check the id

[wraith root]

ah neat didn't know that

thanks for le tip

[thin hornet]

pas de probleme

[sour island]

Updates to?

[wraith root]

Chucked and Heli events, however pretty sure it isn't your end, if you go to a dead survivor and right click on them with a grab it shows all of their limbs as the Base.[Limbname].Bitten object

[sour island]

That's cause it's showing you their injuries

Weird that it's in their inventory - the base makes me think it's an item

Can you use edit on it?

[wraith root]

yeah that's what it displays as

I will have to investigate here, my other peeps are looking into it, it isn't game breaking by any means just odd

[sour island]

Maybe it's related to mapobjects? I don't think injuries are normally items

[wraith root]

hmmm

I did recently delete all of the zpop files

also likely not related

[sour island]

I don't think I've ever seen injuries as items tbh

[wraith root]

might be a mod messing with it

I don't have limb mods, but we have about 40 or so mods

Ah shoot, where is the lua for listing all ItemTypes?

    recipe Craft Chipped Stone With Hammer
    {
        Stone,
        keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
        Result:SharpedStone=3,
        Time:40,
        Category:Survivalist,
        AnimNode:Hammering,
        Sound:Hammering,
        Prop1:Hammer,
    }

Reason I ask is because this was fine til I added the ItemTypes and anim/sound/prop

I'm going to go back through and see which one is the problem

[worldly olive]

Well... too late to think lol was that easy

Thanks

[wraith root]

I am gonna take a stab and say its getting hammer as a type, but I know there are a few types of hammers so I wonder if the var is under the wrong name

huh weird

Well it's fixed

I found some anim lua files but they list about 10 overall, is the full list contained in a .class only or is there a Lua that points to it?

[thin hornet]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\AnimSets\player\actions

that might be helpfull

[wraith root]

Aha

I missed it by two directories up, thank you

[thin hornet]

So weird trying to teleport a player within a timed action perform method doesnt seem to work

[wraith root]

oof

Would be good to find out for minigames and such

[burnt ice]

Thanks for this. It took me a couple hours to figure out what I was doing wrong but I finally got it working and I think I did it right

[wraith root]

Also, is there a lua showing items and what they need to be crafted with

[thin hornet]

wdym?

[wraith root]

Say for example I want to check if an item already has a recipe for it

versus exploring the crafting menus or having to learn certain skills, instead find the craftable file

[thin hornet]

getScriptManager():getAllRecipes()

but not sure what you will do with this

[wraith root]

I'll have to make a script to make a txt I can reference in the future

[weak sierra]

np

[sour island]

I think someone else had this issue - moving in timed action cancels it but you can set the timed action to allow movement

[thin hornet]

nah it doesnt cancel the timed action, it actually run all the way after the teleportation

somehow my position get reset so it look like i never teleported

[thin hornet]

Well all i had to do is to delay the call of the function, the perfom function does something weird that prevent teleportation.

--- Delay a function call
---@param func function
---@param delay number
local function delayedFunction(func, delay)
    delay = delay or 1;
    local ticks = 0;
    local function onTick()
        if ticks < delay then
            ticks = ticks + 1;
            return;
        end
        Events.OnTick.Remove(onTick);
        func();
    end
    Events.OnTick.Add(onTick);
end

[thin hornet]

Here a function similar to setTimeout() in javascript. But instead of using millisecond it uses ticks.

delayedFunction(function()
  print("28 ticks later");
end, 28);

could improve it with a way to cancel it (if not executed yet)

[jagged ingot]

coroutine?

[thin hornet]

--- Delay a function call
---@param func function
---@param delay number
---@return function cancel function
local function delayedFunction(func, delay)
    delay = delay or 1;
    local ticks = 0;
    local canceled = false;
    local function onTick()
        if not canceled and ticks < delay then
            ticks = ticks + 1;
            return;
        end
        Events.OnTick.Remove(onTick);
        if not canceled then func(); end
    end
    Events.OnTick.Add(onTick);
    return function()
        canceled = true;
    end
end

local cancelFunc = delayedFunction(function()
    print("Will this run?");
end, 10)

cancelFunc(); -- cancel it so it doesnt run

[random kettle]

I'm a big dummy when it comes to modding how do I change audio files

[fiery pecan]

ok, so. How does one call a field in a class? As in something like BaseVehicle.addedToWorld??? I'm having trouble with this

[untold heron]

hi

[grizzled dawn]

Hey guys, was wondering which files, inside a save, store the data of the discovered places inside the map(the map that shows once you click "M") by a player

are these files inside my test world folder the ones that store the maps data or the worlds data?

[drifting ore]

soo i can include mroe than 1 module right?

[grizzled dawn]

these files are stored inside C:\Users\ [USER]\Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer\ [world folder], if anyone wondering

[drifting ore]

like this?

oh rip no icant

threw an error lol

[wraith root]

Any reason why when I use

AnimNode:BandageLeftArm,

it makes my character raise his hands as if to surrender?

[thin hornet]

When an animation is invalid, it default to raise hands animation.

[wraith root]

Weird

I pulled the anim from the anim files

Same with sounds, seems the sounds are not playing for my works

(Also some items are not allowing a creation despite showing I have all the ingredients

}

I know it's a lot, but I think there are a lot of similar issues going on

primarily

animations
sound
and props

[thin hornet]

recipe animation node cannot really use special animation such as BandageLeftArm cause the way animation work using condition.

[wraith root]

SHoot

Shoot*

I wish they were flagged as special lol

[thin hornet]

so like the animation for bandage is Bandage but then BandageLeftArm works if you set setAnimVariable BandageType to LeftArm

So probably AnimNode:Bandage would work, but wouldnt know what body part to play it for

[wraith root]

Shame you can't specify it

As for the sounds?

[thin hornet]

function ISCraftAction:start()
    if self.recipe:getSound() then
        self.craftSound = self.character:playSound(self.recipe:getSound());
    end
    self.item:setJobType(self.recipe:getName());
    self.item:setJobDelta(0.0);
    if self.recipe:getProp1() or self.recipe:getProp2() then
        self:setOverrideHandModels(self:getPropItemOrModel(self.recipe:getProp1()), self:getPropItemOrModel(self.recipe:getProp2()))
    end
    if self.recipe:getAnimNode() then
        self:setActionAnim(self.recipe:getAnimNode());
    else
        self:setActionAnim(CharacterActionAnims.Craft);
    end

    --    self.character:reportEvent("EventCrafting");
end

self:setActionAnim(self.recipe:getAnimNode());

it set the action anim but not the variable

[alpine scroll]

Is it possible to add a "custom" animation that is a replica of bandageleftarm?

[thin hornet]

Yeah probably is

create directory in your mod media\AnimSets\player\actions

[wraith root]

wouldnt that be a more complex way of just setting the variable within the recipe

[alpine scroll]

I think that would be the way if they really wants to use it

I think the point that you cannot do that on the recipe right now

Recipes dont know how to deal with that, right?

[thin hornet]

Recipe anim node is basic for now yeah

[wraith root]

hm

[thin hornet]

would need a new field that specify an anim variable

[wraith root]

alrighty I added those directories

[thin hornet]

copy the animation Bandage.xml

rename it to RecipeBandage.xml or something

[wraith root]

alrighty got it

for the naming

[thin hornet]

try something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animNode>
    <m_Name>RecipeBandageLeftArm</m_Name>
    <m_AnimName>Bob_BandageLeftArm</m_AnimName>
    <m_Looped>false</m_Looped>
    <m_SyncTrackingEnabled>true</m_SyncTrackingEnabled>
    <m_EarlyBlendOut>false</m_EarlyBlendOut>
    <m_SpeedScale>0.80</m_SpeedScale>
    <m_BlendTime>0.20</m_BlendTime>
    <m_Scalar></m_Scalar>
    <m_Scalar2></m_Scalar2>
    <m_Conditions>
        <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>
        <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
        <m_StringValue>RecipeBandageLeftArm</m_StringValue>
    </m_Conditions>
</animNode>

then use RecipeBandageLeftArm in your recipe anim node

might be worth trying

in the end that wont really be more heavy file wise since it still use the vanilla anim

[wraith root]

indeed

Should I use the name or the anim_name

<m_Name>RecipeBandageLeftArm</m_Name>
<m_AnimName>Bob_BandageLeftArm</m_AnimName>

[thin hornet]

try to make the name and filename unique so that it dont overwrite the vanilla stuff

m_AnimName is the actual animation file to use

[wraith root]

So for the sake of the node

[thin hornet]

just try using the same name for
m_Name
and
m_Conditions > m_StringValue

in this case RecipeBandageLeftArm

[wraith root]

Alrighty

[thin hornet]

so if you look at the animation xml files they have parent and child

Bandage.xml doesnt have an animation itself, but all the other extend it and specify an actual animation

[wraith root]

ah I see

like a type

[thin hornet]

this way they dont copy/repeat bunch of property and can have different/additional m_Conditions

[wraith root]

mhm that would be bad

I am testing the anim now, the next issue once this is figured out would be sounds

Ah shoot, the anim didn't work there

hang tight

might need to fix something here

hey it worked

sweet

I guess we can attack the same zone here

    recipe Craft Twine From Ripped Sheets
    {
        RippedSheets=5,
        TinCanEmpty/TreeBranch,
        Result:Twine,
        Time:200,
        Category:Survivalist,
        AnimNode:RecipeBandageLeftArm,
        Sound:ClothesRipping,
        Prop1:RippedSheets,
    }

Are sounds also filled with similar issues with a category needing specified noise?

[alpine scroll]

Didnt you name it Bob_RecipeBandageLeftArm?

[wraith root]

I guess it's supposed to be the anim name not the primary name?

It works as the anim name, I haven't tried the primary name

[alpine scroll]

According to this

[thin hornet]

Really the only thing that matter is that the anim names doesnt overwrite existing anims xml file.
What make the animation work is the condition.

    <m_Conditions>
        <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>  <----- PerformingAction
        <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
        <m_StringValue>Bandage</m_StringValue>  <----- Bandage
    </m_Conditions>

[wraith root]

hm

[thin hornet]

the AnimNode of a recipe is assigned into the TimedAction ISCraftAction

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\client\TimedActions\ISCraftAction.lua

self:setActionAnim(self.recipe:getAnimNode());

[wraith root]

yeah using the base name Bob_RecipeBandageLeftArm breaks it

gotta use the anim_node name

this sound is confirmed to be a usable sound

not sure why it isn't playing for certain items then hr

[thin hornet]

you should be able to use any sound in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\sounds_item.txt

[wraith root]

ah sweet I was using the actual WAV references

no wonder it isn't working haha

[thin hornet]

you could also add your own sound the same way as vanilla does it

[wraith root]

no i c e

[thin hornet]

with your sound inside:
media\sound\mysound.ogg

and defined in a script text file:
media\scripts\mymodid_sounds_item.txt

like this:

module Base {

    sound MySound
    {
        category = MySound, loop = false, is3D = true,
        clip { file = media/sound/mysound.ogg, distanceMax = 50, volume = 1, }
    }

}

[wraith root]

what kind of format is .ogg

[thin hornet]

you can use wav, ogg and mp3

i use ogg

[wraith root]

ah sweet

which one is most optimal?

[thin hornet]

its light

[wraith root]

ah I see

[thin hornet]

i use audacity to convert

[wraith root]

ay nice I use audacity

I guess the final issue I am having atm is some items are not allowing for use despite having all the ingredients

for example

    recipe Craft Paper Bag
    {
        SheetPaper2=20,
        Twine/Thread/Glue/Woodglue/Paperclip,
        Keep Scissors,
        Result:PaperBag,
        Time:100,
        Category:General,
        AnimNode:Craft,
        Sound:ClothesRipping,
        Prop1:SheetPaper2,
    }

I might see the issue

Keep not keep

yep that was the issue

seems I am squared away then

I shall continue onward

[alpine scroll]

Good luck on your endeavors

[cosmic condor]

My audio workflow:

Audacity

[toxic walrus]

Anyone know what ToHitModifier does for guns?

[wraith root]

oh lordy bugs galore

Basically all sounds being used are ignored

except for two items

[wraith root]

Where do I find all the items that are specifically 3D in game

[cosmic condor]

ProjectZomboid\media\models_X ?

[wraith root]

ah weird

the ID for the item and the fbx name are not equal

when I use Prop: for an item I presume then I need to use it's fbx name and not item ID

no that isn't right either

I use Gravelbag as the item ID but the fbx is GravelBag and that still functions... hm

[cosmic condor]

check out ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\models_items.txt

[shadow geyser]

there is a script file that defines models and gets the mesh and textures for them. you need to use the names in that script file, not the fbx or x file

[cosmic condor]

it's where you specified which mesh to use

[shadow geyser]

they look like this

[wraith root]

ah nice

I will investigate that

as for the other issues while I attend to that file

here they are

Battery Recipe
- No sound

Journal Recipe
- No sound

Stone w/ Hammer Recipe
- No sound

Stone w/ Stone Recipe
- No sound

Twine with Ripped Sheets
- No sound
- Animation too fast [SOLVED]

Make Paper Bag
- No sound

Make Gravel Sack
- No sound
- Cannot craft when all ingredients present

Make Sand Sack
- No sound

Make concrete powder
- No sound
- No props

Make plaster powder
- No sound
- No props

[shadow geyser]

I think the gravelbag probably worked for you because they just happen to share a name in the mesh file name and the actual model name

thank ya

[cosmic condor]

Keep doing reverse engineering until you understand how things work

perhaps download a mod with a single item and learn from that. Learning directly from vanilla might be too overwhelming.

[wraith root]

yeah I've been doing a bit of both as I go

huh how odd, when you try to pull a sandbag for debug it doesn't produce an item

but when you do it for gravel it works fine

[sweet trail]

Looking for modders / Scripters to start a server with.

[toxic walrus]

HALLO. Does Math work in Scripts for parameters in script files? Like weapons

[winter bolt]

i dont think so but you could use a lua file to edit the parameter

[toxic walrus]

Yeah want to mass tweak weapon values so I think I'll go with that option

Thank you Spongie. Im huge fan

[wraith root]

Got sounds, models, and actions working

However, for two items with an OnCreate function, they get this error I presume something to do with the sandbag or gravelbag not totally filled

[shadow geyser]

what error? i dont see any in your ss

[lusty nebula]

In the case it could be of help as reference, if needed, I've submitted a lits indicating the cells used by most of the custom maps available in the workshop.

[opaque vortex]

hiya! I'm trying to figure out what code tells zombies if a certain tile is made by a player and can tell the zombie to thump on it.

I've been looking through the API and I've been kinda brain dead.

[thin hornet]

IsoThumpable

IsoThumpable is a type of IsoObject that can be destroyed by zombies.
Zombie will not target IsoObject or other type other than IsoThumpable.

[opaque vortex]

Thank you so much my friend, I don't know how I didn't figure that out. QUQ

[sour island]

are all player built structures isothump?

bugged me a couple versions ago that they'd just bump on anything player built

even if the player wasn't in sight

[thin hornet]

Yeah

If you create the object using IsoThumpable.new() it will be targetable. If you create it using IsoObject.new it wont

IsoObject do not have health and do not get hit from weapons.

[sour island]

interesting

[wraith root]

I think also In an ini file there is a setting where you can tell zombies to thump or not thump when no one is around?

[random finch]

There are 2 textures for shoes. The soles, and the outer surface. Where is the outer surface defined?

[sour island]

The inside of the shoe or the interior outer side?

it is probably mirrored

[random finch]

Should say both tbh.

[sour island]

I mean there isnt really a reason to render the actual inside of the shoe

[winter bolt]

shoes are textures on the body mesh so i'm confused

[sour island]

I assume he want's the entire outside of the shoe but only sees half, and I'm assuming that's because it is mirrored

[random finch]

Cant even get the boot to appear at all, but then I am looking at some other mods an they seems to have a texture for the bottom of the shoe and another for the the outside. Does that seem right?

[sinful vessel]

They should be single like these

Which is how UV layout is done for masking system to work

Are you sure you are using correct layout?

[winter bolt]

items can only have 1 texture

[random finch]

What is this used for then?

[sinful vessel]

That depends on mod, I'd take vanilla textures as example if I were to mod clothes as every modder has different approach to stuff

Modder might have disabled masks to make this work and you could have to do it aswell

[random finch]

They also included a texture in this layout?

[sinful vessel]

This could be for worlditems etc

Lots of possibilities

Thats sharks work right? I remember it we had talks with him when he was working on his boots

Thats WIP

Its a leftover texture thats not utilized within game yet

[random finch]

It is! Thank gawd, it briefly crossed my mind that it may have been the reminiscence of someone's work.

[shadow geyser]

huh, never knew it was like that. I always thought that isoThumpable was anything that had physics that would block the player so including the walls of buildings and the such. Always thought that isoobject was just a generic class. You learn something new everyday.

[craggy furnace]

something that doesnt exist anymore

[drifting ore]

Weird question

Is it possible to track how much someone walks in a day in game

[random finch]

May I resize the textures in your mod to use in an add-on mod for the sake of optimization in MP?

[craggy furnace]

no, ive already done it

what you have your hands on is incredibly old

those textures no longer exist

theyll cycle out next update

[random finch]

Got yuh, anytime soon?

[craggy furnace]

i am aiming at soon yes

mods been overhauled so not much hasnt been touched

[random finch]

Very nice, can't wait to hop into the new threads.

[shadow geyser]

I don't think there is an ready function for that in PZ, but it would be fairly easy to make. You would just need an event in EveryTick or EveryMinute which would take the players coods, and count up how far the player has moved.

[craggy furnace]

i am glad you brought it up though

since i just finished converting this morning

[thin hornet]

you can easily achieve that using OnPlayerMove
this would not work with vehicle travel tho

local previousSquare; -- store the previous square
local function onPlayerMove(player)
  local currentSquare = player:getSquare(); -- get the current square
  if previousSquare ~= currentSquare then -- if the square changed it mean we moved
    local modData = player:getModData(); -- grab the player moddata
    modData.totalSquareTravelled = modData.totalSquareTravelled or 0; -- initialize the value if not already set
    modData.totalSquareTravelled = modData.totalSquareTravelled + 1; -- increment it
    previousSquare  = currentSquare; -- switch the previousSquare to the new one
  end
end
Events.OnPlayerMove.Add(onPlayerMove);

[sour island]

@thin hornet I recall you discussing required modIds before - specifically the difference dedicated makes for mod load order -- does this only apply to require in modInfo or also require "" in Lua files?

[thin hornet]

the require in mod.info only kind of enable the other mod automatically, I dont think it actually force any load order

especially dedicated where you manually add the mods in the config

requiring in lua is probably the best way to ensure a load order

[sour island]

Alrighty

[thin hornet]

not sure if that was the question but if not let me know

[sour island]

Writing a patch for a mod, and I'm just trying to ensure it doesn't trip over itself

Nah it was

idk why but it seems that you are trying to call nil

line 109
if not bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] then
try

if body and not bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] then

or try

if body.getObjectID and ....```

seems like body or the method would not exist when trying to call it

[grizzled dawn]

K i`m having issues cuz for some reason i cant find where server files are stored

oops my bad i wasn't looking at my actual hard drive XD

sorry

[grizzled dawn]

if body and not bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] then``` gave me the same error

[thin hornet]

if body.getObjectID and not bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] then

something is null and is getting called

so that mean it expect a method but that method when called is actually null and not a method

idk what or where exactly but based on the error log it seem to be at that line

[grizzled dawn]

line 82 is also cited

but it seems to have failed

[grizzled dawn]

preatty much solved everything

it stopped spamming errors

but it still gives some errors now and then

now its recalling line 378

[thin hornet]

well you should check why body doesnt always have getObjectID() available

check if you get body of the wrong type

[grizzled dawn]

how would i go about checking that?

sorry for the trouble XD i'm not much of an expert in these things

here is what i meant

if you still get error try post the error log again lets pin down what is going on

[glad pivot]

How i can get all official tiles?

I want to make a site to help the community in one specific question

[thin hornet]

using TileZed you can extract all the vanilla tiles

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media```
file ending with `.tiles`

[mighty breach]

Does anyone know which lua file impacts fishing baits?? I wanna switch up baitfish to catch everything instead of just pike and junk. Would someone be willing to lend a hand???

[thin hornet]

lua\shared\Fishing\fishing_properties.lua

[mighty breach]

TY I'll try my hand at making it.

[grizzled dawn]

here`s the console, if you need i can provide the server log

[thin hornet]

basically something like

for i, fish in ipairs(Fishing.fishes) do
    table.insert(fish.lure, "Worm");
end

should work to add Worm as possible bait to all possible fish

[mighty breach]

It's the baitfish they're purely Pike and Trash... wanting to make it a general bait

[glad pivot]

You can send me the link of tilezed?

[thin hornet]

for i, fish in ipairs(Fishing.fishes) do
    local containBaitfish;
    for i, lure in ipairs(fish.lure) do
        if lure == "BaitFish" then
            containBaitfish = true;
            break;
        end
    end
    if not containBaitfish then
        table.insert(fish.lure, "BaitFish");
    end
end

well not actually sure it matter if it was added twice but that code check if its already there and add it only if not

Good evening.

[thin hornet]

Sup mate

[thin hornet]

Object tried to call nil in LoadGridsquare
PleaseDontFeedTheZombiesServer.lua line # 378

againt something trying to call a function but that function is nil

[glad pivot]

How i extract???

[thin hornet]

TileZed should have an option for tile viewer and or extractor

I remember using it but its been a while

[glad pivot]

TileZed accept 4 formats, in the folder has what format?

[thin hornet]

Try asking your question into #mapping theses guys know alot more about TileZed than me

[glad pivot]

Ok, thanks

[mighty breach]

It worked!!! Thank you so much this literally is a game changer for fishing and fish traps.

I've uploaded it to the workshop.

[eternal skiff]

hey my game keeps crashing when i mass mod it

And i dont like playing vanilla

[thin hornet]

well try adding just a few mods, test, add more, test, more, test, more

[eternal skiff]

ok

ill try that sorry for bugging you

[thin hornet]

You dont bug me at all pal

😄

[flint beacon]

is there a way to make custom crops?

[eternal skiff]

so even when i play normally it crashes my game

[grizzled dawn]

i`m almost giving up XDDD, could you please take a look in line 308 and why this shit is giving me errors, 😩

[thin hornet]

yes search for the Farming directories and look at base items script files.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\client\Farming
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\server\Farming
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\farming.txt

[flint beacon]

Ty

[eternal skiff]

since my game keeps crashing should i restart my pc

[thin hornet]

So I think the problem is istype
replace that by instanceof

[eternal skiff]

or is there any other way to fix it

[grizzled dawn]

sorry i meant line 378 😭

mistyped 308

[thin hornet]

Well if it keep crashing make sure you try a new save game, disable all enabled mods from main menu by deleting in C:\Users\<USER>\Zomboid\mods\default.txt
If it still dont work try checking file validity in steam

[eternal skiff]

so sorry but im not very good at this stuff so where do i find that

[thin hornet]

same problem as previously

local function LoadGridsquare(square)
    if not ARE_HORDES_ON() then
        return
    end
    local bodies = square:getDeadBodys()

    if bodies == nil or bodies:size() == 0 then
        return
    end

    for i=0, bodies:size() - 1 do
        local body = bodies:get(i)
        
        if body.getObjectID and not body:isSkeleton() then
            print("Found a new body")

            bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] = {
                body = body,
                minutesToHoard = ZombRand(MIN_MINUTES_BEFORE_HOARD(), MAX_MINUTES_BEFORE_HOARD)
            }
        end
    end
end

add the check at line #375

if body.getObjectID and not body:isSkeleton() then

[flint beacon]

@thin hornet Would i need to upload the crops as if im making a custom tile?

[thin hornet]

I'm not specialist with crop but sub this mod and check how it's done it will be more useful
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2762018937

[grizzled dawn]

k i added it ```lua
local function LoadGridsquare(square)
if not ARE_HORDES_ON() then
return
end
local bodies = square:getDeadBodys()

if bodies == nil or bodies:size() == 0 then
    return
end

for i=0, bodies:size() - 1 do
    local body = bodies:get(i)
    
    if body.getObjectID and not body:isSkeleton() then
        print("Found a new body")

        bodyIds[body:getObjectID()] = {
            body = body,
            minutesToHoard = ZombRand(MIN_MINUTES_BEFORE_HOARD(), MAX_MINUTES_BEFORE_HOARD)
        }
    end
end

end

Hello i need help i deleted all my mods and restarted my pc but for some reason every time i launch the game it crashes

[nocturne junco]

So uh... Can I have some modding help? 🥺

[thin hornet]

Probably

Send the question first 😄

[nocturne junco]

Tsk, so I want to install one of those zombie sound mods but unfortunately they want you to replace whatever sound file the game uses for zombies. When I do that though the game simply doesn't want to start so... No Last of Us zombie sounds for me?

[thin hornet]

Ahhh thats a #mod_support question but if you need to revert back try to Verify integrity of game files in steam

[nocturne junco]

Oh, sorry. Off I go. And don't worry, Skyrim taught me the power of backups 😉

[thin hornet]

perfect and no problem

[strong widget]

Hi. Quick question. Is there a mod that displays what the game is doing in the backend while loading up a save? Cities Skylines has something similar to this where it shows what assets are loading in and it really helps when trying to gauge why the game might take a while to load in.

[strong widget]

That's simply a means to view the launch command. It doesn't really show anything when loading a save.

[thin hornet]

mhm

[thin hornet]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\ProjectZomboid64ShowConsole.bat
Edit this file

set -Djava.awt.headless=false

then it will show the stuff in the console

[strong widget]

Ah. Neat.

That works. Let me try that out.

[grizzled dawn]

Hey dude, so sorry for the late response a storm came in and my light went out

but after testing it it seems that its working,

just came across 1 error

[toxic walrus]

For aimingtime on weapons, are lower numbers better ??

[clear geode]

bro thanks for this haha

[opaque vortex]

Hello! So I found out what told zombies what is something they can destroy or not; however I'm having trouble understanding what exactly tells the zombies which certain tiles they can destroy.

Basically I'm wanting to do something that allows zombies to destroy the Wire Fences, Wooden Walls and any wooden walls level 2 and below.

Since I'm new to modding this game, I'm having a really really tough time.

I've been using the API to reference which is which, i.e "IsoThumpable" and "IsoObject" but I'm not seeing TileID's for those specific tiles or I'm unable to find them, if someone can point me into maybe a list of TileID's and where to go; that'd be awesome, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

[sour island]

Anyone know how to add comments to a sandbox vars file? Doesn't seem to be the tooltip

I noticed going through the vanilla vars there's useful notes and instructions

Also, side note if you need to hide an old sandbox var you can set it's page to nothing

Just need to add a --depreciated

noticed a reference to "_help" suffix 😮

[thin hornet]

right, _help seem to be the same as _tooltip but only used for ZombieConfig

[quasi geode]

no. (disclaimer: this info maybe outdated. havent checked how AimingTime works in a very long time)
its a very misleading attribute. when the player moves, a aiming penalty is built up (to a point, used to be -90 to hit chance at max if i remember right). when the player stops moving, the penalty decreases until it goes away (takes a few seconds)
AimingTime is a reduction on this penalty. Higher is better, allows guns to be fired while moving around easier

[toxic walrus]

Hi fenris huge fan. I actually was inspired to start modding weapons after seeing your blog post for OGRM.

YEAH I thought higher is better. But I think with Gunfighter, lower is actually better.

wait

HIGHER IS BETTER

okay

[quasi geode]

ya i havent checked with build 41 at all but i'm assuming the mechanics are probably the same

[toxic walrus]

Yeah they way you explained it makes sense from my testing so I think you are spot on

[quasi geode]

gunfighter should get that attribute high/low correctly, since arsenal was the one who originally pointed out to me years back the #'s seemed to be backwards (thus making me dig into the attack code logic to confirm the mechanics)

[toxic walrus]

YEAH they do. Im confusing myself.

[open abyss]

are there any mods that allows players to build vehicles chassis? (build a car from scratch)

[thin hornet]

Not as far as I know, but should be doable by spawning a vehicle and removing all its parts.

[open abyss]

Hey again Konijima 😛

I know the cheat menu mod has a feature to spawn vehicles.

Maybe a script can be made that has the player build an in-world item and a 10 second count down which then transforms into the frame of the vehicle the player wanted. (Count-down is to give player a chance to move out of the way...
I don't know... to sophisticated i guess. Especially if you add the ability to allow players to chose between 9 colors + what ever texture/variant each vehicle has...

but in that case, why not just make a dedicated mod that allows players to build 3 kind of junker-cars: Solo, 4-seater, cargo.

Cargo would be a 2 seater, the Solo car has option for a 2nd seat, but by default does not come with a 2nd installed seat or something shrugs i don't know... just thinking aloud.

But then again, if people have been wanting something like this, why is it not in the game yet?
I guess it's to difficult and to much work to add to the game.

Maybe someone can at least look into the possibility?

[thin hornet]

Spawn a vehicle, loop through the parts to remove them, set engine at 0, etc then imagine its a brand new chassis 😛

Check the square you spawn it on to see if its a building, if so check if the room is at least a garage. otherwise prevent it.

[shadow geyser]

isn't the latest tilezed the one that comes in steam? with the modding tools? i've been meaning to dig into that tool to learn it, but haven't done so yet

[thin hornet]

From memory it wasnt updated as often. So I think the latest was posted on the forum. But might be worth asking the #mapping nerds.

🤓

[shadow geyser]

ah I see, will have to remember to check that when i decide to commit to learning that tool. thanks

i've been kind of avoiding it, because I always hear about how confusing of a tool it is, so I've avoided it whenever I can

[toxic walrus]

Anyone know what the % represents next to crit

[thin hornet]

DebugLog.Combat.debugln("Hit zombie dist: " + var8 + " crit: " + this.isCriticalHit() + " (" + var9 + "%) from behind: " + this.isAttackFromBehind());

[shadow geyser]

if I had to guess, it was the chances of a crit on that particular shot. From what I understand there are various conditions that affect your crit chance with guns like your distance, and if you are shooting from behind

[toxic walrus]

AHHH

[thin hornet]

var9 is the % of critical hit

[toxic walrus]

How is crit damage done

I feel like randomly I'll do shit tons of damage

with a crit and then other crits dont

[thin hornet]

calculate critical hit based on distance

then they add or remove some number to it based on some condition

and they finally check if its a critical hit using some random
this.setCriticalHit(Rand.Next(100) < var9);

[toxic walrus]

Ahh okay

Just seems a bit wild sometimes

[thin hornet]

have a look into zombie\characters\IsoPlayer.java

youll be able to decipher most of it

[toxic walrus]

YE

THANK YOU

FOR THE QUICK ANSWER

[thin hornet]

about line 3586

[grizzled dawn]

Hey dude, not sure if you saw my messages yesterday but i had some issues with energy and all. Aside that, i've tested it and got again new errors in the code, precisely once i joined the server, i got 1 error in what it seemed to be line 309, but once i started walking around a bit ingame, i got the error spam in line #251, i've looked around a bit and again it looks like its trying to call a method but its not being able to

i'm not sure what to do at this point

[thin hornet]

its not normal that it try to call a method that doesnt exist in the first place.
Adding the check to know if the method exist is one way to fix it but not really the right way.
Something is wrong with the objects if the method is not there.

I dont have the code right now i cant see the lines

[grizzled dawn]

here

oops

[grizzled dawn]

this message

i've attached line and error

[thin hornet]

try use instanceof instead of istype

[grizzled dawn]

309 right?

local function onAIStateChange(character, newState, oldState)
    if instanceof(character, "IsoZombie") then
        if oldState ~= nil and (instanceof(newState, "ZombieIdleState")) and character:getEatBodyTarget() == nil then
            local x = character:getX()
            local y = character:getY()
            local z = character:getZ()
``` like this?

[thin hornet]

yeah

[grizzled dawn]

i've also changed line 308

not sure if i was supposed to

[thin hornet]

istype check the class type, instanceof check if its an instance of that class type

the problem is always your zombies

one of them is nil

and create all theses issues we been messing with

[grizzled dawn]

i see

yeah but how would i be able to determine which zombie is causing this

or how would i go about fixing this issue

[thin hornet]

no idea

[grizzled dawn]

cuz tbh i've tried almost everything erased it all and re done it, the best i could come up with is what you are seeing rn

[open abyss]

@thin hornet sent ya a DM, in case ya didn't see...

[thin hornet]

i saw, just a bit busy here and there

[open abyss]

np

[thin hornet]

also working on a mod myself

[open abyss]

Is your mod a horse d¤¤¤ dildo weapon? (jk)

[thin hornet]

the IsoGenerator sprite is hardcoded

but maybe it could be possible just not sure how

[cosmic condor]

Lots of mod ideas, but start getting lazy now. 😑

[wraith root]

[sweet trail]

Still looking for people with server managing, Modding, Mapping experience and normal management experience.

[dusk saddle]

Not meaning to cut you off or anything, so apologies in advance.

Do any moddin' folks here know of how to implement a system where specific frozen goods don't grant unhappiness/boredom? There's something in ISCraftAction.lua, though I have no idea how to inherently apply that to the items in question

Oh, and another question, in the same regard, having an item have the same status as its packaging. ie. I use a lot of recipes that use OnCreate, as they give multiple items. Sorta' like how eggs give the status of fresh or rotten if the container says so

[open abyss]

Mod idea:

Visual Melee max-range indicator (A circle) when aiming.
May be a bit redundant, but i'd love to have such a mod.

[random oar]

hey guys, is there any mod to keep a eye on players actions

like put something into a container and i can know it from server log

[wraith root]

If you check your server files you can actually find logs for everything that happens

With admin cheats I think you can view logs, or there might be some preexisting additional server mods adding to the logging area

[random oar]

wow, i will check it soon

tysm

i found it in the file, thank you again🥳

[wraith root]

Yep yep

[fierce bluff]

Yo, does anybody know if you can tweak cars bodymass without rewriting the entire game? I'm talking about making cars actually behave like cars in terms of collision and weight transfer, specifically against entities

Has anyone tried it?

[wraith root]

What's the result you're looking for?

Those sound like intermediate variables,

Are you looking for better handling controls/customization

Or like the damage a person / car takes

[fierce bluff]

The damage, yeah. But I gave it some thought and sounds kinda pointless because without ragdoll physics (that wont make the damn PC explode) it's impossible.

Maybe the easiest thing is to find whatever controls the way entities and vehicles behave when the collision takes place and modify it.

The idea itself would be to make entities 'lighter' and vehicles sort of heavier

[wraith root]

You can kind of do that in server sandbox settings

Make it so players take a lot of damage from being hit, and players inside cars take not a lot of damage, the car itself taking not a lot of damage (or a lot depending on what you want)

[fierce bluff]

Oh god...

I feel so damn stupid right now

Nevermind then
Now I just need to manage whatever is it the variable that controls the speed reduction on collision and I'm done with this

[wraith root]

Haha it's all good

[vast estuary]

hi, i wanted to know where are the xp gains located? for example, reloading a weapon increases the skill. if i wanted to change it so that other stuff also level the skill up, where should i go?

looked up in documentation but couldn't find it

[wraith root]

Good place to look would be the Zomboid/media/Lua/recipes.lua

Or something like that, they contain functions like

onGainXP

Could also be worthwhile looking into other mods that have weapon crafting and model after them

[vast estuary]

thanks! i'll take a loot at Brita's Weapon Pack or Arsenal Gunfighter since they add guns and i want to tweak the aiming skill

[fiery pecan]

Carried over from #modeling due to being directed here-ish
Say I have a car, right? What if I want multiple textureLights fields for different textures in the skinIndex? Is that possible?

[topaz pasture]

Is there a way to create custom scenarios?

[jagged ingot]

So I found a simple way to work around a limitation with the API call reloadLuaFile(path) where Events.OnEvent.Add(..) doesn't work.

local SyncCallback = function()
  local o = {}
  o.callbacks = {}
  o.add = function(callback) table.insert(o.callbacks, callback) end
  o.tick = function()
    if #o.callbacks > 0 then
      for i = 1, #o.callbacks, 1 do o.callbacks[i]() end
      o.callbacks = {}
    end
  end
  Events.OnFETick.Add(o.tick)
  Events.OnTickEvenPaused.Add(o.tick)
return o
end

local Exports = {}
Exports.syncCallback = SyncCallback()
return Exports

I wrote this module to push event code from a situation where I reloaded a lua file and the event registers and works.

Thought I'd share this with yall.

All you do is assign the require and call syncCallback.add(function() .. end)

[rocky lava]

How difficult would a small mod that removes the mutual exclusivity from Agoraphobic and Claustrophobic from each other be? Been wanting to play around with my old silly panic build for some SP fun again, but with one of the recentish updates those traits can no longer be taken together anymore

[wraith root]

Could make a new trait mod based on vanilla vode

Code*

[rocky lava]

Possibly, though I don't know how to even get that far...or where to find it

[wraith root]

I'd look at a current mod that adds traits or some other example files related and reverse engineer it

[rocky lava]

Mm, fair, fair

[jagged ingot]

Neat. Lua types are now out for that TypeScript project now to try.

[tacit plover]

good night! i've been messing with the evolved recipes thingy, and for some reason my recipe names are showing up like this

any reason why?

[jagged ingot]

https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrenchTemplate/blob/master/src/client/example/api/ExampleAPI.ts
https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrenchTemplate/blob/master/typings/PipeWrench/41.71/lua/client/ISUI/ISUIElement.d.ts

Using typings for ISUIElement.

[shadow geyser]

could you show the recipe in the code?

[wraith root]

All types?

[jagged ingot]

Apparently everything except the oddball code from client/Context and a couple multi-nested tables.

So yeah maybe 1% or less not there.

[wraith root]

Ah

[jagged ingot]

The modeling tool built to add human information to the generator is also stable but not done yet.

[wraith root]

So how would I run a mod off of it?

or put it in my server as a mod

since you can't distribute it

[jagged ingot]

npm i and npm run dev as a watcher.

It's not a core Java mod though.

You can absolutely distribute your work there. The environment compiles to Lua.

[wraith root]

ah so I get the lua in the end

noice

Maybe I will try to write my radio mod on there

[jagged ingot]

The documentation will need updating since the model is revised as well as the environment revised to be cleaner.

[wraith root]

I have been trying to find where the Radio ingame logs are kept, for a specific channel

[jagged ingot]

There's some mad stuff going on with the lua files. There's boilerplate to optimize imports.

[wraith root]

Not sure if they are also kept in the chat logs or something

noice

[jagged ingot]

Oh and there's the ability to license your compiled code heh.

[wraith root]

Noice

well

to a point

the devs can take it still

[jagged ingot]

I'm not going to start issues here however your code is your own. 🙂

[wraith root]

well no lol

Im not meaning to start issues or anything, just meaning that I probs wouldn't license as it's whatever to me

but to each their own, I know some people that want to CC the mods they make

[jagged ingot]

I licensed some Java code that is an adapter interface as LGPL.

As long as it's clean and not containing IP, all good. 🙂

No copyleft to worry about.

[wraith root]

If I never post what license I want to use it could just default to no distribution / private

[jagged ingot]

Well what about damages & claims? I use MIT as a safety-net.

I otherwise wouldn't license most of my free stuff.

[wraith root]

ye

all depends CC law can get complex

I studied it for a while

[jagged ingot]

Well CC isn't a code license.

[wraith root]

Well no

its a public license

I meant CR not CC specifically

[jagged ingot]

Apache, MIT, GPL, LGPL, etc. are based for code licenses. CC can be used but it's very unorthadox, and used for niche reasons with code.

Ah ok.

hey y'all my map is extremely vertical and im going to be using it for my rp pvp server--problem is, in PZ, you cant shoot at anyone in a layer above you. so theoretically people can just camp my map's canyons or hop on a staircase and gun everyone down
do you guys have any suggestions either mapping wise or a possible mod (unlikely!) that would fix that?

[keen frost]

the game already has that option

[wraith root]

alrighty friends

time to revive the radio fix mod and make it better since the base game radios are broken again

[odd notch]

ELavenza#7473 made the radio fix mod

let me find it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2695911696

obsolete as of 41.66

[wraith root]

Yeah I saw that one, looks like it needs an update

[wraith root]

How do we go about seeing radio logs from normal chat logs

they aren't registered as id = 3

The pictured text is confirmed radio text just not sure how to differentiate it between proximity chat and radio

[fierce bluff]

Guys, is it possible to scale wheels from the template?

[vivid geyser]

hi

someone knows how can i make 7.62 ammo for my AK-47?

[drifting ore]

does anyone have a link for the mod where you can name your crates

[noble pumice]

How would I replace an Items spawn with one of my items?

[teal slate]

it was for a very particular issue that i believe was fixed. if it's broken again it's going to be something else

you'll have to look at the decompiled source like i did to see what's causing it now

[teal slate]

this is a cursed problem

just complain until TIS actually fixes the radios themselves

don't rely on modders to make core game features actually work

[wraith root]

We figured out ATM that military radios are completely disfunctional for us

HAM and tactical are reliable, but you have to have HAM actually equipped to speak into it but not to hear it

[teal slate]

yeah, it's fucked

and has been for a long time now

TIS has no interest in fixing radio text because the big market is VOIP

the old radio system in 41.65 used a certain variable to poll for text to send over the radio; that was disabled and made obsolete by a new system. all the old radio mod did was set that variable, since vanilla didn't

[wraith root]

😩

Sadge

[teal slate]

it's not inherently impossible to write a fix yourself, but it might be impossible. need to know what the issue is, for one

i might have a writeup somewhere about why placed radios don't work

anyone know if this issue's resolved yet? https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/44457-4168-radios-lack-chat-formatting/

41.71 has - Fixed radio sync in MP; 41.72 has a bunch of vehicle radio fixes

ah wel

has anyone had any issue with the rv interior mod im trying to use it to use the inside of a bus and when i go to the back it just sits on a black screen

nvm found out that you cant use custom maps with the rv mod

[undone crescent]

hey guys! can anybody tell me if there is an easy way to make zombies spawn through an OnCreate: in a recipe? for example when Ash ( evil dead) opens the book of the dead (would be made by a recipe from closed to open book) and reads from it and then alot of Z start spawning. would that be possible? thanks in advance! 🙂 👍

[wraith root]

Could just design a radial check, if player within radius, take every other radio with same freq ID var, and print same text

Players can't see text if not within radius

[teal slate]

yeah, and it'd be running in softcode

it'd suck

[wraith root]

I mean performance-wise it isn't technically that taxxing

[teal slate]

good luck

[dusk saddle]

Howdy howdy to you modding folks and raccoons, I've been trying to figure out a way to get select frozen goodies from applying their boredom and unhappiness (without increasing said levels higher). I've made some ice pops and don't want them to give an insane boost in happiness, but I don't want you to become instantly depressed because it hasn't thawed out to the right temperature.

I did do some searching here and found the question was discussed as having the solution being in the ISCraftAction lua file, on ye line 96. Though I'm not too sure how to inherently apply that to the items in question. Would any of y'all be able or willing to offer some assistance?

[thin hornet]

Hey, did you use the ice cream as an example

[dusk saddle]

I was looking at the item stuff, but I'm not sure of where the code for the ice cream would be at

[thin hornet]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\items_food.txt

    item Icecream
    {
        DisplayName = Ice Cream,
        DisplayCategory = Food,
        Type = Food,
        Weight = 0.2,
        Icon = Icecream,
        Packaged = TRUE,
        ReplaceOnRotten = IcecreamMelted,
        DaysFresh = 1,
        DaysTotallyRotten = 1,
        HungerChange = -30,
        UnhappyChange = -10,
        Calories = 1680,
        Carbohydrates = 180,
        Lipids = 84,
        Proteins = 26,
        WorldStaticModel = IceCream,
    }

    item IcecreamMelted
    {
        DisplayName = Melted Ice Cream,
        DisplayCategory = Food,
        Type = Food,
        Weight = 0.2,
        Icon = IcecreamMelted,
        Packaged = TRUE,
        HungerChange = -30,
        Calories = 1680,
        Carbohydrates = 180,
        Lipids = 84,
        Proteins = 26,
        WorldStaticModel = IcecreamMelted,
    }

[dusk saddle]

Oh yeah, I've looked at that but to the best of my knowledge it doesn't contain anything about the frozen properties. It helps me with the melted stuff if I were to expand, but unfortunately I didn't see anything about disabling the debuffs from eating frozen stuff

[thin hornet]

zomboid\zombie\inventory\types\Food.java

   public float getUnhappyChange() {
      float var1 = this.unhappyChange;
      if (this.isFrozen() && !"Icecream".equals(this.getType())) {
         var1 += 30.0F;
      }

      if (this.Burnt) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAge && this.Age < (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 10.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      if (this.isBadCold() && this.IsCookable && this.isCooked() && this.Heat < 1.3F) {
         var1 += 2.0F;
      }

      if (this.isGoodHot() && this.IsCookable && this.isCooked() && this.Heat > 1.3F) {
         var1 -= 2.0F;
      }

      return var1;
   }

   public float getBoredomChange() {
      float var1 = this.boredomChange;
      if (this.isFrozen() && !"Icecream".equals(this.getType())) {
         var1 += 30.0F;
      }

      if (this.Burnt) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAge && this.Age < (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 10.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      return var1;
   }

its a bit hardcoded here

so if its not frozen its unhappiness asf

so even cold is not as good

or im reading it wrong

[dusk saddle]

I would never have expected to look into that folder itself, hmm. I very much appreciate it, I'll try looking into that and seein' what I can find. I very much appreciate it

[thin hornet]

well in other word that java code tells that anything frozen that is not icecream

make you unhappy and bored

[dusk saddle]

And I take it that, since it's a Java thing, making a lua file that requires said file wouldn't work

[thin hornet]

To keep that effect on your iced stuff i think you would have to call your items MyModule1.Icecream, MyModule2.Icecream

as long as the type is Icecream youll have the effect

but making bunch of module for multiple pop might be a bit too much

[dusk saddle]

Yeah, there's a wicked number of flavors, so that's pretty bloaty for sure

[thin hornet]

in fact the dev should change that code to use a Tag named "Icecream" and then any item with that tag would act like icecream

[dusk saddle]

I can certainly say that would be very, very handy. While disappointing, I do very much appreciate your assistance!

[thin hornet]

If you want, go on the forum and post a suggestion with what i just told you.

[dusk saddle]

Groovy, I'll have to get right on that! The Steam forums?

[glad pivot]

I'll use a "random font"

[thin hornet]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/forum/20-pz-suggestions/

[glad pivot]

Actual result

[dusk saddle]

Ah the actual IS forums, that makes significantly more sense

[wraith root]

People are talking about bloat for something that won't even touch the resources in any impactful way

[dusk saddle]

More so bloating my mod's folder. Well, more bloated than the folder already is

[gaunt pendant]

More like a tag "IsGoodFrozen", or you're doing the same mistake again 😅

[flint beacon]

is it possible to have an item i made block a placement? Like i wouldnt be able to walk through it?

I still want it to be an item since i want to be able to craft things with that item placed down

[undone crescent]

hey guys! can anybody tell me if there is an easy way to make zombies spawn through an OnCreate: in a recipe? for example when Ash ( evil dead) opens the book of the dead (would be made by a recipe from closed to open book) and reads from it and then alot of Z start spawning. would that be possible? thanks in advance! 🙂 👍

[sweet trail]

Hey is there a mod that let's me manage what item should spawn from some mods, for example I want to manage what should spawn and what should not spawn from STALKER clothing mod.

[calm depot]

@undone crescent yes, that is absolutely possible - you can have a recipe run a lua function on completion rather than producing another item

[undone crescent]

cool thanks for the info Olipro! Im trying right now to make them spawn with the addZombiesInOutfit() would i need to get the players position first or can i just go with that line?

[calm depot]

the first two arguments to that function are X and Y coordinates

[undone crescent]

sry im kinda new to this stuff, so far i only managed to make recipes with multiple result in the lua 😅

ah so i would need to get player position first and then go with + x/y, right?

[calm depot]

yeah

or, use addZombiesInOutfitArea

you can give it an x/y min and x/y max

and it'll pick a random spot within those bounds each time

[undone crescent]

cool many thanks!

[smoky meadow]

Is there a way to disable stunlock in multiplayer pvp fights?

[undone crescent]

i think there is a mod for it, isnt it?

search for NoStunlocks PVP

[thin hornet]

Yeah thats a better tag, but using icecream wouldnt be that much of a mistake in a sense it would work too.

[gaunt pendant]

Yeah ofc, fine as a workaround

[drifting ore]

Yo guys

Can i give idea to modding workshop to make people happy and not angry

[drifting ore]

So you make mod called remove error if you put on game and active / it will remove error own self / if you download another mod / put file / it will remove error / if that mod when still active / and it will remove error / when you play any map

Its good idea?

Put emoji like this👍 👎

I AM GENIUS IN WORLD

[spark bison]

so make a mod to remove errors from other mods?

[drifting ore]

Yes

It will remove error if you add other mod

[cosmic condor]

to hide your sins, right?

[spark bison]

as someone who is not a modder that seems not very possible but

[drifting ore]

@Ben_#1269 ?

[spark bison]

ye

I am left in constant suspense until you answer

[drifting ore]

If its hard to make / just mod maker needs make script or mod

Idk

[thin hornet]

you cannot remove the errors, you need to fix them

[ancient grail]

any links for UI creation. templates and guides

[ancient grail]

also anyway to spawn vehicle via lua

[storm finch]

does anyone know of a mod that lets you make booze and liquor that works with the more perks mod for alcoholism

[calm depot]

@ancient grail best way to learn both of those things is to examine the code in the game that creates UIs and the debug code for spawning vehicles

if you want something relatively trivial, the debug menu code itself is a good example. if you want something more involved; the inventory window

[drifting ore]

Or add fix

[calm depot]

if you fix an error, it's no longer present

so you have, in fact, removed it 😏

[wraith root]

Alrighty gamers, time to fix these radios

I will ask is there any example within PZ of a radius being used?

Actually silly me, VOIP uses it

[random finch]

What does the spawning definition do in recorded_media.lua?

Most are set to 0. some 1.

[heavy iris]

Hey there, I'm new to modding and I'm looking for nice guides to help me out. I just made, with a friend, a custom map with custom tiles, and now I'd like to eventually write a bit of lua for very simple events; For instance, I'd like to start by spawning a full and powered generator at a precise location on game start. Could find the OnGameStart event on the wiki, but nothing about spawning a full powered generator..
Any hint? Thanks by advance!

(Also, I learned basics of worlded&co& doing the mod folder, but I dont know where to put .lua files in the file folder to make them work)

[thin hornet]

You would not place the object at a specific location on game start. In fact you would have to place it when the player enter the area using LoadGridSquare event. You could store in the global moddata that your generator was or not spawned yet.

Subscribe some mods on the workshop and check the code for examples.

[heavy iris]

yeah that's what I started to do, thanks!

I tried to modify one for my mod also but since I dont have an index of lua commands and their effect

well I cant do anything

I know python so I should be ok coding and understanding structures

[thin hornet]

You can open the vanilla game files ina text editor and search through the files to find what you need

[heavy iris]

ok

[shadow geyser]

Im not sure if you can fill the generator using worldzed to fill it with gasoline, but im sure you can place the generator like that. If its not possible to do it through that im sure you can still try using lua. Ongamestart however might not work. Thats because unless you spawn in the same cell as where you want to place the generator, the area won't be loaded in so you can't add it in. You might want to try using loadgridsquare to check for the correct tile and from there, the square will be loaded, and you can do the neccessary modifications

oh lol, you sniped me while I was typing

[heavy iris]

guys thanks a lot for your help!

[thin hornet]

Im on my phone so my help is limited but i can help more later if you still need

[heavy iris]

So I was not aware of the problem you are mentionning @shadow geyser , but indeed the concerned cell si the spawning cell. so both methods works, ok

Thanks @thin hornet , might need it later still ^^

[heavy iris]

I havent found tools allowing me to add items on worldzed but they might exist. I can spawn a generator, yes, but I have to check if its more than a texture, and I surely dont see how to change its initial parameters..

You guys have tutos around these topics? I know nothing about "globalmoddata" for instance ^^

I guess its a set of global variables added by the mod but thats all ^^

[heavy iris]

It looks very instructive indeed, thanks a lot

[shadow geyser]

this wiki made by konjima is pretty good on alot off topics. https://github.com/Konijima/PZ-BaseMod/wiki. global moddata is basically just the same as other moddata in the game, except rather than being attached to an object somewhere, global moddata is the one attached to the world, so its just a central place to get a table for your mod for any information you need to store and use.

[jagged ingot]

Hello.

[heavy iris]

Thanks @shadow geyser !

[jagged ingot]

If you want an environment that's different than Lua, you have the option to code mods in TypeScript. The environment I'm linking has its own events API that tells you what events are there to use and what is provided with them with the documentation from the PZ Wiki.

https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrenchTemplate
https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrenchTemplate/blob/81c7ee61c05d556ab22f7518de590450816d277d/typings/PipeWrench-Events/41.71/PipeWrench-Events.d.ts#L298

EmiLua is a good plugin to use to see what you're working with in Lua too.

There are guides mentioned above that helps setup the basic Lua modding environment.

Theses are the JavaDocs you should use: https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/

Here's a list of Lua events on the Wiki: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events

[heavy iris]

@jagged ingot Well I thought doing it in lua because I saw .luas everywhere so ^^' but the api looks amazing yes! Gonna check emilua tpp

[jagged ingot]

Don't worry. That project only just recently came around.

[wraith root]

Does pipe wrench have access to VOIP and player Chat events?

[jagged ingot]

Does Lua even have access to it?

[wraith root]

I'm working on fixing these radios for good by gutting their radio system and making my own

[wraith root]

I'm not sure, it's contained in the /chat and /raznet folders for /zombie

For .class

[jagged ingot]

raknet doesn't expose to Lua

ChatManager isn't exposed but things like ChatTab are.

[wraith root]

Hm, that means I'd have to make a Java mod then

[jagged ingot]

Yeah. Unfortunately it would seem that VOIP is locked into Java.

[wraith root]

Goal is making radios simply radius dependent and if you speak near a radio's radius when it's on, every other radio with the same freq will print

Text first, and the VOIP add on later in java

[jagged ingot]

Wondering if you could make a fake player on the server and then send VOIP data to other players that way.

Just a thought.

[wraith root]

Is that even possible without an account?

I could make a player object

Store it as an object off the map or something

[jagged ingot]

I made fake player logins and moved them around with stupid AI a few years ago. I don't know about VOIP though.

[wraith root]

Hm...

If that worked I think id have to make a filter or something where the player only listens to VOIP from the entire map of a certain freq

[wraith root]

Would you have any pointers on where I would find player objects for making fake ones?

Hm.. actually doesn't the admin player have the ability to listen to everyone?

Not sure if that's going to be a global listen for text or VOIP, or both

[weak sierra]

anyone know how i can resize a tile

take existing tile, make it a different size (within the same space taken in the game), like scale it down a bit in this case.

i assume i would need to.. extract the tile using something like TileZ

and

change the data with a.. normal image editing process hopefully

and then re-pack it into a pack that just contains the one thing with the same ID so it overrides?

is that possible?

[heavy iris]

thats a list of usable commands rights? Should I only look zombie.lua for command sI can use in simple lua scripts?

[weak sierra]

hah.. no

it's a list of both accessible and inaccessible things

and it's hit-or-miss what is accessible or works in my experience so far

im not sure what dictates it, possibly modifiers on the methods in java, which are not documented there

[heavy iris]

ok 😄

thanks a lot, I'll dig into it ^^

[weak sierra]

all of the objects are accessible, so far, that i've tried - just not all methods/members

whatever you call them in java

i'm a C# programmer primarily

[heavy iris]

honestly I'm really new to modding and I was expecting the community had a commonly estblished list of lua methods/commands/etc that worked, but I see its harder 😄 I'm not a programmer mainly but I can relatively dig into it

[wraith root]

Nah, it's pretty dirty ATM due to the updates happening

It's hacky

But that's a good thing, means you shouldn't let anyone tell you there is only one way / no way to do something, that just means they haven't done it themselves yet lol

[weak sierra]

the only thing there's "one way" to do is override a function without breaking other mods 😂

and honestly even that's probably doable in a few ways that achieve the same thing

[wraith root]

Time to expose VOIP to Lua ✨

[heavy iris]

dats right ! 🙂

[civic vale]

Trait Idea:

Paranoia:

You randomly hear noises of groaning zombies and the occasional helicopter. You may even get jump scared when opening a door when nothings there.

+5 points

[jagged ingot]

Packet simulation

Basically assign a short ID to the player and then send the player login packet to all clients.

[wraith root]

By player you mean the player object being simulated

[jagged ingot]

Reserve & use an upper limit short ID for your player-count.

Also I'm not sure how comfortable people here are with discussing stuff that gets into the realm of modifying networking so I'll stop if need be.

This can easily be looked at in the same category as what people do to hack & exploit although this case isn't for this purpose. 🙂

[wraith root]

Well no lol, but it is to solve an issue with radios

[jagged ingot]

I'm talking about methodology.

[wraith root]

Botting your own server is a pretty wide subject on its own

[jagged ingot]

It overlaps with some uncomfortable hobbies. 🙂

[wraith root]

no matter if you teach the good stuff the bad stuff will always be present

Black box analogy

[jagged ingot]

I raised this concern because of where this discussion is. 🙂

Anywho yeah that information should get you started.

[wraith root]

Ah

You called it a player count

You mean the false player ID?

[jagged ingot]

Player packets are associated with short IDs.

[wraith root]

By upper bound is there a value ID limit in the decompile or is it based on int limits

[jagged ingot]

You can see this through the client with zombie.characters.IsoPlayer#getID()

[jagged ingot]

I believe it's clamped to max players count. I think they're reused.

It could be incremental or that.

Walk through zombie.network.GameServer#receiveClientConnect() and replicate the assignments for global player dictionaries and then send the same packets for the login process.

You'll also need to look at zombie.core.raknet.UdpEngine.

[wraith root]

Lordy lots of fun stuff to get radios working

[jagged ingot]

This is all for learning how to create fake players.

[wraith root]

Indeed

Wouldn't it be easier by this point to just make a custom object or override radios ?

All you'd need is

Object
Frequency ID
radius for player check
And chat/VOIP listener

[jagged ingot]

If you can send VOIP packets without requiring a player reference that resolves to an actual IsoPlayer then yes.

RadioServerData, RadioDeviceDataState, RadioPostSilenceEvent, SyncEquippedRadioFreq, WaveSignal, SyncEquippedRadioFreq, and SyncRadioData are packets I see in the game.

[wraith root]

Likely not exposed to Lua

[jagged ingot]

None of them are. Nothing of the network is exposed.

You'll have to do this as a Java mod.

[wraith root]

Could I just make a custom exposure?

For my own work

[jagged ingot]

This entire time I've been talking to you knowing that you're looking at making a Java mod.

[wraith root]

Well yes

[jagged ingot]

In Java only. Look at zombie.Lua.LuaManager.

[wraith root]

Wonder why no one else has tried doing this

[jagged ingot]

No one wants to touch the core of the game since they can't put it on things like the Workshop.

That doesn't bother me and my friends who mod this game.

[wraith root]

For sure

The aim is to improve my server and not worry about other servers for a fix like this unless they are also willing to mod java

[jagged ingot]

Welcome to what I do.

[wraith root]

I've posted to workshop, amazing to see how much people complain about free content

[jagged ingot]

It's a good thing to work on.

[jagged ingot]

I wouldn't focus or think about that. It's really a waste of productive energy to think about those things when modding.

Mod for yourself.

I do see generic loot under inventorymale & inventoryfemale but I thought there was specific loot as well.

the only way would be to place a placeholder blocking object on the ground when the item is place/drop on the ground. And remove that placeholder object when picked up. But yeah thats might be a bit complex to do correctly and even then could have problems arise from this. Also if that item is not centered in the square well the blocking object will be

@thin hornet ahh like an invisible tile then make an item that looks like the tile i want to be able to craft things with

[thin hornet]

may i ask what the item is?

[flint beacon]

im trying to work on a crafting station

[thin hornet]

okay so you want the crafting station to be part of the recipe

[flint beacon]

i just hate the fact that you can walk through it if its an item so i decided to make it into a tile

yeah

i tried but no luck

[thin hornet]

then you could use a tile only

and add a OnTest to check if the player is near a crafting station to complete the recipe

[flint beacon]

lets see if that works 🙂

[thin hornet]

for example

recipe Craft Stuff On Crafting Table {
  stuff,
  ....
  OnCanPerform: MyRecipeCodes.OnCanPerform.RequireCraftingTable,
}

that or OnCanPerform

[flint beacon]

heres a pic of it lol its a little drug lab table

[thin hornet]

yeah that would be OnCanPerform

[agile coral]

You can add world items with code, too. Campfires do it with ```
local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square, "camping_01_6", "Campfire")
isoObject:setOutlineOnMouseover(true)
self:toModData(isoObject:getModData())
square:AddTileObject(isoObject)

[thin hornet]

cause it gives you the player as a parameter, so you just need to scan the nearby squares depending of the radius you wish

[flint beacon]

thanks for the feedback yall will try this now

[flint beacon]

You think i would need?

          CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,

[thin hornet]

CanBeDoneFromFloor mean that the recipe items can be on the floor i think

[flint beacon]

ahh

[thin hornet]

but if your items are on the crafting table that can be handy

for example Saw Logs recipe use can be done from floor

[flint beacon]

where would this be located?

[agile coral]

For me it's at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\server\Camping\SCampfireGlobalObject.lua

[thin hornet]

local obj = IsoObject.new(square, sprite);
square:AddSpecialObject(obj);
obj:transmitCompleteItemToServer();

bunch of example how to build objects in media\lua\server\BuildingObjects

[flint beacon]

For example would this work if i was next to the lab? or do i need to add keep CocaLab1 aswell

    recipe Craft Stuff On Coca Lab {
        Spoon,
        Bleach,

        Result:Fork,
        Time:10.0,
        OnCanPerform: MyRecipeCodes.OnCanPerform.RequireCocaLab1,
      }

[thin hornet]

Now you need to define the function MyRecipeCodes.OnCanPerform.RequireCocaLab1 in lua

so you would create media\lua\server\DrugLagRecipeCodes.lua

DrugLagRecipeCodes = {}
DrugLagRecipeCodes.GetItemTypes = {}
DrugLagRecipeCodes.OnCanPerform = {}
DrugLagRecipeCodes.OnCreate = {}
DrugLagRecipeCodes.OnGiveXP = {}
DrugLagRecipeCodes.OnTest = {}

--- Find an object around x,y,z
local function findObjOnSquareRange(spriteNames, x, y, z, range)
  for xx = x - range, x + range do
    for yy = y - range, y + range do
      local square = getSquare(xx, yy, z);
      if square then
        local objects = square:getObjects();
        for i = 0, square:getObjects():size() - 1 do
          local obj = objects:get(i);
          local spriteName = obj:getSpriteName() or obj:getSprite():getName();
          if s = 1, #spriteNames do
            if spriteName == spriteNames[s] then
              return obj;
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

--- Require Coco Lab to perform recipe
function DrugLagRecipeCodes.OnCanPerform.RequireCocaLab1(recipe, playerObj)
  local x, y, z = playerObj:getX(), playerObj:getY(), playerObj:getZ();
  local sprites = { "coco_lab_0_1", "coco_lab_0_2" };
  return findObjOnSquareRange(sprites, x, y, z, 1) ~= nil;
end

[flint beacon]

holy

your an actual god

[random finch]

lol fo real

[thin hornet]

xD

[flint beacon]

Very much appreciated man cant thank you enough!

[thin hornet]

I wrote it in discord so didnt test

[flint beacon]

im sure it works XD

[jagged ingot]

pain

[flint beacon]

[random finch]

I assume the crafting station implemented in this manner wouldn't show up as a requirement in the recipe window?

[thin hornet]

i wish discord has some auto format stuff lol

[thin hornet]

Yeah they wouldnt

But you can add it to the name of the recipe to make it clear

[random finch]

A tool-tip informing the player or something may be ideal

[flint beacon]

yeah i was planning on working on a magazine and a whole occupation for this mod to even make this stuff

DrugLord XD

[thin hornet]

The cure mod where you need to build a whole lab uses instrument and recipe like that if i recall

[random finch]

Still, I like the idea of having a crafting station that has collision.

[jagged ingot]

Coffee time.

Sophia is legitimately one of the best sitcom characters from that generation of shows.

[thin hornet]

i need to make some cleanup ...

[wraith root]

Uh oh

[jagged ingot]

Gradle time.

[random finch]

Adding loot to zed loot tables via outfit definition file (clothing.xml) spawns these items on the zed when they spawn. Then adding loot to a zed via a distribution file spawns loot upon death?

[shy radish]

Is there a way to get the suns current “brightness” value?

[cosmic condor]

I hope it's not drive C

[thin hornet]

it is

[shadow geyser]

from experience, I can tell you that doing that kind of thing will get you alot of bug reports and complaints about the recipes not working if you dont make it exceedingly obvious thats needed, as it isn't something people are used to with regards to recipes. You can also inject in text into the recipe in the crafting menu as alot of people won't read descriptions of mods on steam and will still give those "bug reports" even if you try to document it. They only started going away until after I did this. if you want to see an example of how I did it, you can check in the mod "hydrocraft continued" and take a look at the file "HCcrafthelper_fix.lua". you unfortunately need to just add one small line into the vanilla function, and end up needing to redeclare the whole function with one line extra for your function that inserts the new entry for the requirement.

you can also add some compatability with "craft helper continued" its the spiritual successor of the old craft helper mod, and lanceris has put in some support for these kind of recipes using the ontest to make them more obvious

[jagged ingot]

I think I'm going to spend a fair bit of time writing documentation for the new TypeScript environment for PZ.

That thing is developed enough for people to contribute documentation for the game where things are not clearly defined.

Might be good to put my knowledge there to help others if they so choose to go with it.

Again the editor built for the documentation stuff is badass. It has return type documentation now.

When setting up a spawn point ( sample below ):
{ worldX = 46, worldY = 34, posX = 40, posY = 152, posZ = 0 },
posX = 40, posY = 152 = Coordinates on the map
worldX = what it indicates?
worldY = what it indicates?
posZ = what it indicates?

[shadow geyser]

there is an explanation here. posX and worldX combined give you the real coordinates. to my understanding its because PZ map cells are 300x300. so worldX and worldY give you the cell, and pos X and posY give the relative coordinate in that cell. posZ is the height that you are at. to my memory it is 0 indexed. so ground floor is 0, 1st floor up is 1 etc.

[lusty nebula]

Many thanks mate I owe you a good beer! 😉

[noble pumice]

How do I stop a vanilla item from spawning?

[heavy iris]

I dont know but I found that tuto that might help, searching for my stuff.
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38329-customizing-loot-4151/

But you must have much simpler methods, isnt there a "spawn disabled items" on sandbox options?

[noble pumice]

Thanks

[lusty nebula]

As reference in the case others need it ( At least for Single Player )
worldX = 46, worldY = 34, ---> The Map Grids where the spawn point is located
posX = 40, posY = 152 --> The relative map coords ( You can get easily them from the PZ map project )
posZ = 0 --> The floor ( 0,1,2,etc )
Many thanks for the hint @shadow geyser !

[heavy iris]

I would add, to be exhaustive, that you also have global coordinates (not used for spawnpoints), in our case :

CoordX = 13 840, CoordY = 10352,

linked to others by
CoordX = 300xWorldX+posX , CoordY = 300xWorlY+posY
(this calculus reflect the two grid decompositions we have : world in cells and cell in 300x300tiles)

[jaunty gate]

getClimateManager():getDayLightStrength() should get it for you.

[shy radish]

Ooooo thank you so much!

[heavy iris]

Any of you know a mod I could dig in that :
-create a (simple) custom item
-associate a custom texture to it compiled in the texturepack

My goal is to create a custom item and to be able to place it in TileZed. (A custom generator).

I started to dig in mods .lua and in vannilla .lua, so I think I read a bunch of useful methods&commands, but mods I found only add a lootable item or a custom tile texture. And Vanilla code has some dark places, but I found some relevant stuff I could use, written for Campfire, using Camping_01 tilesheet as ref (in vanilla/../lua/client/Test/MapObjectsTests.lua)

[wraith root]

Could check out The Workshop(scrap items), custom trailers, etc

[heavy iris]

Thanks, I'm checking! For trailers, seems its considered as a vehicle, as such is it placable in tilezed?
I mean, I could do a custom parkingstall with 100% chance to spawn the trailer, but I can't adapt that in my case.

[wraith root]

Custom trailers because there are some trailers that actually count as generators like the printable Light trailer

The workshop mod for the placeable item

Or even just looking at generators in the game source code

[heavy iris]

This I tried already, but I found more on... campfire than on generators. No key info is in scritps\newitems.txt fo instance, juste basic names, spritename, weight... But will continue surely 🙂

[heavy iris]

Thanks a lot for these 2 things, checking it out now !
