[tranquil reef]

Yes

Now you're thinking like a programmar

[floral lodge]

I thought you had to do the siui garbage, anything adding buttons like that that I've looked at uses it

[radiant venture]

Hmm it already has that custom context menu

[quartz cave]

here if you want to check "ItemZed" out, it made a lot of thing a lot easier but its no longer working 😦
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/21923-itemzed-updated-11b/

[radiant venture]

i really just see no issue here, but the game does apparently

[tranquil reef]

GoodHot, CustomEatSound, and the cooking stuff might be messed up or something

[radiant venture]

sooooo what i should do issssss?

[tranquil reef]

I'd try removing ReplaceOnUse and check if it works

[radiant venture]

alright

[tranquil reef]

I'm pretty confident in the theory that zomboid is sentient and purposely makes things difficult just to make people aggravated lol

[radiant venture]

i agree fully

[quartz cave]

yea sadly it feels like that

[radiant venture]

yeah you're probably right, it's been saying loading lua since 2 minutes now

[knotty saddle]

Any mod that allows you to display items on walls? Seems it used to be a part of the More Builds mod, but that is no longer the case.

[sour island]

Weight = 1,7

@radiant venture

[radiant venture]

?

[sour island]

1.7 ?

Or does comma denote something else

[radiant venture]

OH

[sour island]

Also, if you check the console.txt in your cache folder it should be spitting out an error

[tranquil reef]

If that's the reason I'm really mad, I planned on asking about it but I assumed I was just an idiot and it meant something lol

[radiant venture]

[quartz cave]

we all missed it lmao

[sour island]

afaik only , ; [] change behaviors in scripts

[radiant venture]

welp, fixed that tiny error, if i now start the game and EVERYTHING is fixed, i will be so goddamn pissed

[sour island]

. would only be used for numbers and item types

[sour island]

I forget }s all the time

Worse when your "smart" IDE shifts the entire code about and deletes all the indents

[cosmic condor]

VS Code bro

[sour island]

VS doesn't do that or it does?

[cosmic condor]

It colors everything for me

easy to spot mistake

[sour island]

PZ scripts don't have a language to them though? Can VS be programed with it's own rules?

[cosmic condor]

you can install this plugin https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xshrim.txt-syntax

[quartz cave]

i'm going to try this ❤️

[cosmic condor]

it can help a lot in modding pz txt, everyone should install this plugin

[sour island]

I think intelliJ just has a built in text thing

[radiant venture]

Downloading it rn xd

[cosmic condor]

I'm not intelliJ user

[sour island]

I just never got around to setting it up

[cosmic condor]

too bundled for me

VS Code start up time is as fast as notepad

[opal stag]

function ombrophobiaTraitFunction()
  local player = getPlayer();
  
  player:getStats():setStress(player:getStats():getStress() + 0.07)
end

function ombrophobiaTraitInit()
  Events.OnRainStart(function() Events.EveryMinutes.Add(ombrophobiaTraitFunction)
  end)
  Events.OnRainStop(function()
    Events.EveryMinutes.Remove(ombrophobiaTraitFunction)
  end)
end

[radiant venture]

well uhh, it fixed nothing-

[opal stag]

When it's raining player with trait must get stress

[thin hornet]

function ombrophobiaTraitFunction()
  local player = getPlayer();
  
  player:getStats():setStress(player:getStats():getStress() + 0.07)
end

local function onRainStart()
  Events.EveryMinutes.Add(ombrophobiaTraitFunction)
end

local function onRainStopStart()
  Events.EveryMinutes.Remove(ombrophobiaTraitFunction)
end

Events.OnRainStart.Add(onRainStart);
Events.OnRainStop.Add(onRainStopStart);

[opal stag]

Thanks

[thin hornet]

@opal stag
i suggest you do something like

function ombrophobiaTraitFunction()
  for i = 0, 3 do
    local player = getSpecificPlayer(i)
    if player then
      player:getStats():setStress(player:getStats():getStress() + 0.07)
    end
  end
end

also

player:getStats():setStress(player:getStats():getStress() + 0.07 * getGameTime():getMultiplier())

multiply by the game time multiplier, for fast forwarding

[radiant venture]

i don't know how but now the debug item list isn't even showing the buggy version of the item anymore, now it's just not even there at all

i don't understand

i'm so confused

[drifting ore]

getPlayer():getAlreadyReadBook():add(item:getFullName())

ERROR: General , 1660159937602> 0> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaException: ForgetBook.lua:3: '=' expected near `function` at LexState.lexerror line:278.

Hey, i'm getting this error, and it refers to the code line above, how do i fix it?

i do not understand the error at all. very cryptic.

function Recipe.OnCreate.PerkMWP21()
local allItems = getScriptManager():getAllItems()
    for i=1, allItems:size() do
        local item = allItems:get(i-1)
        if item:getDisplayName() == "MetalPerk21" then
            if item:getTeachedRecipes() ~= nil then
                local TeachedRecipesSize = item:getTeachedRecipes():size()
                getPlayer():getAlreadyReadBook():add(item:getFullName())
                for i=1, TeachedRecipesSize do
                    local TeachedRecipesName = item:getTeachedRecipes():get(i-1)
                    getPlayer():getKnownRecipes():add(TeachedRecipesName)
                end
            end
        end
    end
    getPlayer():Say(getText("Improvised small gun frames learned!"))
    getScriptManager():getRecipe("Metalworking 3 - Scrap Armor"):setNeedToBeLearn(true)
end

This is the function

[floral lodge]

Konijima makes mods like we breathe

[thin hornet]

why the global in front of the function

global function Recipes.OnCreate.PerkMWP21()

[drifting ore]

i think it was fixing another issue

should i get rid of global?

[thin hornet]

if you dont add local then its going to be global automatically

[drifting ore]

yeah but thats not really the issue it seems

when i run this mod, when joining the server, this mod causes a black screen

[thin hornet]

function Recipe.OnCreate.PerkMWP21(items, result, player)
    for i=1, items:size() do
        local item = items:get(i-1)
        if item:getDisplayName() == "MetalPerk21" then
            if item:getTeachedRecipes() ~= nil then
                local TeachedRecipesSize = item:getTeachedRecipes():size()
                player:getAlreadyReadBook():add(item:getFullName())
                for t=1, TeachedRecipesSize do
                    local TeachedRecipesName = item:getTeachedRecipes():get(t-1)
                    player:getKnownRecipes():add(TeachedRecipesName)
                end
            end
        end
    end
    player:Say(getText("Improvised small gun frames learned!"))
    getScriptManager():getRecipe("Metalworking 3 - Scrap Armor"):setNeedToBeLearn(true)
end

[drifting ore]

Oh and, it was originally recipes as well, but it didnt work

[thin hornet]

So you want to complete the recipe and learn a new recipe?

[drifting ore]

the idea is, you get two choices of "recipes", and you can only learn one, the other gets destroyed permanently and you cannot learn it, and because its not a recipe magazine or whatever

[thin hornet]

something like a branch

probably could use OnCanPerform instead to verify if the player chose a branch already

[radiant venture]

I MANAGED TO FIX THE ITEM

[tranquil reef]

What'd you do lol

Was it the weight thing?

[radiant venture]

I MOVED IT INTO A DIRECT COPY OF THE FILE AND NOW IT SUDDENLY WORKS

[tranquil reef]

Oh, bruh lol

Now pray it stays that way

[radiant venture]

it better

[floral lodge]

I just installed the first Lua extension for vscode I could find and it's good

I wish there was something that showed the available functions for zomboid

[opal stag]

Also should I check player:HasTrait("ombrophobia")?

[floral lodge]

If there is something to show zomboid functions lmk cause life would be ez

[thin hornet]

@drifting ore

recipe choose branch A {
  ...
  OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.ChooseBranchA,
  OnCanPerform:Recipe.OnCanPerform.BranchNotChosen,
  ...
}

recipe choose branch B {
  ...
  OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.ChooseBranchB,
  OnCanPerform:Recipe.OnCanPerform.BranchNotChosen,
  ...
}

function Recipe.OnCreate.ChooseBranchA(items, result, player)
  -- set branch A as chosen
  player:getModData().ChosenBranch = "A"
end

function Recipe.OnCreate.ChooseBranchB(items, result, player)
  -- set branch B as chosen
  player:getModData().ChosenBranch = "B"
end

function Recipe.OnCanPerform.BranchNotChosen(recipe, player)
  -- return true if no branch choosen
  return not player:getModData().ChosenBranch;
end

[drifting ore]

konijima has a decompilation guide on github, that lets you search through all lua/java source code for function definitions

[opal stag]

And why I can't use local player = getPlayer()?

[thin hornet]

getPlayer() will only return local player 0

to make your mod splitscreen compatible you need to look through the 4 possible local player slots

[floral lodge]

Can I use it with code suggestions? So like I can type player and it might show the Get player function

But also a link to that guide would be great 😩

[drifting ore]

yeah exactly! its quite useful especially if you want to dig into other peoples mods

one sec

[opal stag]

Great, it's like I need)

But mod with traits worked with getPlayer()

[floral lodge]

This makes me so happy

[thin hornet]

yeah but not sure that it really work with the additional splitscreen players if using getPlayer(), logically it doesnt

[opal stag]

I'll send thing from More traits mod what's working on split-screen

[drifting ore]

https://github.com/Konijima/PZ-Libraries

[floral lodge]

OK who is this guy, how'd he get so good, and how can I get there

[drifting ore]

pz modding community be like

[floral lodge]

I think him to be a dev if not for the roles 😂

[floral lodge]

FOR REAL

Konijima irl:

[thin hornet]

I dare anyone to make a mod with this 😛
https://github.com/Konijima/pzpw

Typescript powa

[opal stag]

function initToadTraitsItems(_player)
    local player = _player;
    local inv = player:getInventory();
    if player:HasTrait("preparedammo") then
        inv:addItemOnServer(inv:AddItems("Base.Bullets9mmBox", 3));
        inv:addItemOnServer(inv:AddItems("Base.ShotgunShellsBox", 2));
    end
end

Events.OnNewGame.Add(initToadTraitsItems);

[radiant venture]

hey konijima

[drifting ore]

pzpw is also very slick and useful tool if you have any experience in javascript

[radiant venture]

want a fun one to figure out?

[opal stag]

Works in split-screen

[floral lodge]

If it's no harder to make mods with than it is now I'm down to try it if you're looking for people to check out your tool!

[radiant venture]

please explain why this doesn't make it a recipe in game

[thin hornet]

Its not harder, its actually easier

But its beta so you may hit a problem here and there but that is how we can improve and fix it.

[opal stag]

I'm blind as heck

[radiant venture]

welcome to the club

[quartz cave]

the new ItemZed?

[floral lodge]

@thin hornet checking it out when I get home

I'm totally down

And if it's good I'll start getting everyone else to use it :P

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work? Just curious cause you seem like you'd work for Google or something cause your kinda amazing

[thin hornet]

No pzpw is a command line tool just to easily create a typescript mod project

It clone the template and set it up for you, then you code in typescript and run compile commands to generate your mod into a lua version which is copied automatically into your Zomboid/mods directory

[radiant venture]

please konijima i've stared at this recipe code for like an hour now.

mystical coding god of the PZ chat answer me😂

[drifting ore]

hi, non-coding god here, could i see the AluminumCanteenFull base item?

[radiant venture]

sure

[thin hornet]

the evolvedrecipe seems ok

[radiant venture]

item AluminumCanteenFull
{
DisplayName = Aluminum Canteen,
DisplayCategory = Water,
Type = Drainable,
Weight = 1.7,
Icon = AluminumCanteenFull,
CanStoreWater = TRUE,
FillFromDispenserSound = GetWaterFromDispenserPlasticMedium,
FillFromTapSound = GetWaterFromTapPlasticMedium,
IsWaterSource = TRUE,
ReplaceOnDeplete = AluminumCanteenEmpty,
ReplaceOnUseOn = WaterSource-AluminumCanteenFull,
IsCookable = TRUE
UseDelta = 0.0666666,
UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
CustomEatSound = DrinkingFromBottlePlastic,
StaticModel = AluminumCanteenFull,
WorldStaticModel = AluminumCanteenFull,
}
enjoy my messy "this is my first mod" type coding

[thin hornet]

hum, UseDelta = 0.0666666, illuminati confirmed

[drifting ore]

all good hehe, i forget do you have to specify the module in evolvedrecipe like Base.AluminumCanteenFull?

[radiant venture]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yeah sure i'm gonna pretend i even know what you mean rn

[quartz cave]

this is in the vanilla game?

[floral lodge]

Why does discord think the delta value is a phone number 🤔

[thin hornet]

module MyModID
{
    imports {
      Base
    }

    /*************RECIPES*******************/

    evolvedrecipe HotDrinkCanteen
    {
        BaseItem:MyModID.AluminumCanteenFull,
        MaxItems:3,
        ResultItem:MyModID.HotDrinkCanteen,
        Cookable:true,
        AddIngredientIfCooked:true,
        AddIngredientSound:AddItemInBeverage,
        Name:Prepare Beverage in canteen,
        CanAddSpicesEmpty:true,
    }
}

[tranquil reef]

ToadTraits lol

[floral lodge]

What resources can we point Wou to for future reference?

Cause I too may need to make a recipe and I'd like to have them :D

[drifting ore]

https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/blob/master/scripts/README.md

and

https://github.com/MrBounty/PZ-Mod---Doc/blob/main/Items variables.md

scripts section of fwolfe details everything you need in your script .txt files, mrbounty has quite a few variables for making items

[tranquil reef]

How can I check if a tile is one of a specific name

[thin hornet]

CustomName, GroupName? or you mean the sprite names?

[opal stag]

Dada

[tranquil reef]

Sprite names I guess, I need to specifically find the outhouse toilet tile

[thin hornet]

local spriteName = isoObject:getSpriteName() or isoObject:getSprite():getName()

[sour island]

getSpriteName() isn't the same as getSprite() getName() ?

[opal stag]

I want to add a new "BIG" battery to the game, is there is a smart and easy way just like to create item with type "battery"

[opal stag]

So I can use it in flashlights, radio and etc.

[radiant venture]

no

[thin hornet]

its not the same yeah, isoObject have a spriteName variable which is used when loading the sprite object

should technically be the same but i supose it depend if the object sprite instance has instanciated

[full vine]

Could anyone tell what precisely does ToHitModifier on firearms?

[floral lodge]

We should totally have a setup guide channel in the server that clarifies how to start and how to find the functions you need, as well as suggesting konijima's decompilation guide

[drifting ore]

the decomp guide is actually huge. once you get used to searching through the source code it's pretty easy to find what you need

guys

I need help with modifying a mod

[opal stag]

Is there an easy way to add a BIG battery?

[quartz cave]

there's a bit more to it then just adding a big battery from my understanding

[drifting ore]

I am using this mod that textures mobs to be shadows, spawning with no hair or clothes, but for some reason it is broken and they spawn with underwear, even though it does have a fix

-- used to spawn underwear automatically on zeds
UnderwearDefinition = UnderwearDefinition or {};

-- base chance of having a special underwear spawning, don't want this too high as it adds new items on dead zeds everytime!
UnderwearDefinition.baseChance = 0;

-- outfit name

this is the code, anything we can add to fix it ?

[opal stag]

I understand

But I'm looking for easier way

I'm just lszy

I want to create electric katana

[thin hornet]

a big battery that will fit in which kind of vehicle?

[opal stag]

katana

[thin hornet]

by big battery you dont mean the car battery right?

[opal stag]

right

it's small

But bigger than common

Like small accumulator for electric katana

[drifting ore]

at first glance a lot of the code for using batteries looks for Base.Battery explicitly. so it may be a bit harder than just adding a new item and setting it to drain less over time

[thin hornet]

Well if you make a bigger battery it doesnt have to work with other items that uses the regular battery

for example my flashlight only works with a single size of battery

[opal stag]

it's logical beacuse it's BIGGER

[thin hornet]

then just create a new battery item from the basic one

item BigBattery
{
    DisplayCategory = Electronics,
    Weight    =    0.1,
    Type    =    Drainable,
    UseDelta    =    0.000001,
    UseWhileEquipped    =    FALSE,
    DisplayName    =    BigBattery,
    Icon    =    BigBattery,
    MetalValue = 1,
    cantBeConsolided = TRUE,
    WorldStaticModel = BigBattery,
}

[tranquil reef]

is there a reason this isn't working? it does the "Outhouse Check" thing but can't figure out if the tile is actually one of the things

local outhouseTiles = {"fixtures_bathroom_02_24", "fixtures_bathroom_02_25", "fixtures_bathroom_02_26", "fixtures_bathroom_02_27", "fixtures_bathroom_02_04", "fixtures_bathroom_02_05", "fixtures_bathroom_02_14", "fixtures_bathroom_02_15"}```

[drifting ore]

That code is from UnderwearDefinition.lua right? When underwear spawns, which kind of underwear shows up? Does it match any of the items further down in that file, like Bra_Straps_FrillyPink?

[opal stag]

Thanks dude, you are best

[thin hornet]

youll need to make a model, sprite and add it to distribution

a recipe to add and remove the battery from your katana where you transfer the usedDelta

a katana without battery and a katana with battery item probably too, when you add/remove the battery you switch it and copy the condition, repair times and blood from one to the other to make it feel like its the same katana

[opal stag]

Ik, I just newbie in pz modding, but I know things I need to do

Ty again

[thin hornet]

now that i think about it, katana is a weapon so it cannot be a drainable type, youll probably have to mess around and store the power into the item modData and do some magic

[opal stag]

it will shock zombies, huh

[quartz cave]

yea, he should just use the battery as a ingredient for the weapon?

[opal stag]

So I think

[thin hornet]

ive done something like that with the chainsaw in Authentic Z

for the chainsaw fuel storage, had a Chainsaw and ChainsawOff item and when turning it on id run a OnTick event to consume fuel and stop it when fuel empty.

[opal stag]

My mod is "Traits Plus" for me and my brother to play in split-screen and all of this is just my "awesome ideas I must add"

[drifting ore]

gotta love playing with authenticz and random zombies, minding your own business when bob ross sprints up and one shots you

[drifting ore]

I've only noticed the animal print

but others may have spawned too

what if you set UnderwearDefinition.Female_AnimalPrint.chanceToSpawn = 0? again i'm just kind of skimming here, but maybe the basechance is not counting towards those specific outfits further down?

uuh, I'll be straight with you chief I have no idea how to mod, I am just trying to fix this as much as I can

how would I go on to add that ?

just straight up copy it ?

hmm, is it a mod in the workshop? could you link it?

sure

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2673343355&searchtext=shadow

cool, give me a few to look through the mod's code

sure, its pretty short

[sour island]

What do you guys think of my recoloring technqiues

Rather than simply slide around color adjustments I break the sprite down and choose color schemes that don't look god awful

also made male variants for nude mags

[cosmic condor]

how did you do that?

[sour island]

Photoshop

[drifting ore]

here's what I would add to test if that's the issue.

UnderwearDefinition.Female_AnimalPrint = UnderwearDefinition.Female_AnimalPrint or {}
UnderwearDefinition.Female_AnimalPrint.chanceToSpawn = 0

paste that at the bottom of NoUnderwearDefinition.lua and test in single player to see if animal print underwear shows up. if it doesn't i'd communicate that info to the mod author since he'll have to update the mod for everyone on your server to have the changes

[sour island]

mostly just copy and pasting the sprite and selecting out parts

part of this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822983942

[cosmic condor]

I mean, it's very small pixel, yet you can manage to recolor different part

[drifting ore]

will do, thank you for that

[sour island]

imo Recoloring the whole thing looks bad - so I had to select out the title vs person / hair

[drifting ore]

also where is the lua file for the underwear definition located ? so I can try to add more

[sour island]

that's a special one - gets it's own icon

The mod uses IRL magazine tiltes

some are more fun that others

[drifting ore]

the art is very well done. hard to make something easy to recognize at that size hehe

[sour island]

I used the vanilla one as a base

[drifting ore]

"ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\Definitions\UnderwearDefinition.lua"

found it no worries, thanks!

[sour island]

Top left is the vanilla icon's color scheme through my layering

[drifting ore]

hell yeah, good luck my man

[sour island]

also did magazines a while back

[cosmic condor]

which tool did you use to separate each layer?

[sour island]

my hands lmao

[cosmic condor]

graphic tablet?

[sour island]

https://i.imgur.com/UK3PPRC.gif

[rocky yarrow]

Is there a way to reload the lua files while in game so that it adds up the new lua files ?

[sour island]

I used the select tool - set contiguous to grab everything that's the same color OR go in by hand

[drifting ore]

writing code is one thing but making pixels not look like hot garbage? true black magic

[sour island]

Fortunately not my own art - actually making it would take forever, messing with colors is easier

[cosmic condor]

pure dedication to details

[sour island]

Well there's an adjustment tool

I can adjust the entire sprite but it looks like hot garbage

[drifting ore]

UnderwearDefinition.FrillyBlack = UnderwearDefinition.FrillyBlack or {}
UnderwearDefinition.FrillyBlack.chanceToSpawn = 0

UnderwearDefinition.Female_FrillyRed.UnderwearDefinition.Female_FrillyRed or {}
UnderwearDefinition.Female_FrillyRed.ch = 0

[sour island]

that's why I thought up the idea to only adjust selections instead

[drifting ore]

if I kept adding it like this, it'd work right ?

[cosmic condor]

I always use Hue/Saturation tool 😆

[drifting ore]

that's what i'd do at least 😅

[drifting ore]

yay

look ma I'm coding

😄

hackerman

lol

[sour island]

Yeah that's what the adjustment tools in PS change - hue/sat/brightness

Glad I was able to impress you haha

[lusty nebula]

Is that a copy of the well known magazine " Zombboy "? LOOL 😄
If so we neeed a Zombmate of the month too 😄

[sour island]

HottieZ is a vanilla item lol

Not translated in a few languages too

[cosmic condor]

Untranslatable

[sour island]

There's a few tho

[lusty nebula]

Ok, so now it seems a good time for a Viagra pills mod too LOOL 😄

[cosmic condor]

American centric you say

[sour island]

I changed the translation to Nude Magazine

namedLit.NUDIEMAGS = {
|| F = { "Adam Film World", "Adam Film World Guide", "Barely Legal", "Hustler Magazine", "Beaver Hunt", "Celebrity Skin", "Chic", "Gallery", "Genesis", "Gent", "High Society", "Hustler", "Juggs", "Leg Show", "Modern Man", "Oui", "Penthouse Forum", "Perfect 10", "Playboy", "Score", "SCREW", "Swank", "On Our Backs",},
M = { "Playgirl", "Viva", "Black Inches", "Blueboy", "Bound & Gagged", "Drum", "Freshmen", "Honcho", "Mandate", "Manshots", "Playguy",},||
}

[lusty nebula]

Probably was better soft porn magazine LOOL 😄

[full vine]

Oui

👍

[cosmic condor]

Si

[sour island]

🤷 I think these are pretty PG puns

also IRL magazines

'bound and gagged' is the special one with it's own icon

[cosmic condor]

Did you see those sweets that they recently added? I have never heard of more than half of them.

Plonkies, SnoGlobe, QuaggaCakes

[sour island]

Those are puns made by the devs

[lusty nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/john-travolta-pulpfiction-gif-23331999

[cosmic condor]

yes

[full vine]

and they have different nutrition values, so if you're looking for calories you'd better quagg some cakes heh

[sour island]

Quagga are Jaffacakes

[cosmic condor]

Isn't it this one?

[sour island]

Not sure what the pun is going for

Might just be gibberish

[cosmic condor]

now you missed the joke too 😆

[sour island]

oh

then it is a zebra cake

[full vine]

😮

[sour island]

plonkie = twinkie

[cosmic condor]

yes, this one is funny in English

[full vine]

as a non-US/UK resident the pun is totally missed on me, sadly. by the way! what we had in early 90s were snickers mars bounty etc. i wonder why they aren't in the game then

[sour island]

They can't/won't put in IRL brands

[cosmic condor]

American Centric strikes again

[lusty nebula]

I can't understand how people eating those things can be still alive LOOL 😄

[full vine]

i get that, i mean in pun form

[sour island]

no clue

[full vine]

like more bars aside granola bars

[sour island]

maybe not that one

lmao

instant sniped

[cosmic condor]

you can retexture and make Mars mod

[full vine]

yeah i probably should since it captured my imagination by now

[sour island]

Gigglers could be Snickers'

or could just say candy bar

[full vine]

guess Mars isn't going to be Uranus, need something more okay. Jupiter would work, Phaeton maybe

[sour island]

and not get too crazy

Ares

flip it to Greek

[full vine]

Bounty => Delight

[sour island]

Ares A&As

[calm depot]

And I'm back

[lusty nebula]

the only real foods of the true survivor are spaghetti and pizza 😄

[cosmic condor]

Uranus is HUGE

[calm depot]

This discord appears to suffer from the Scunthorpe problem 😂

[full vine]

and also rolls sideways on its orbit on a rather big angle towards the general galaxy plane, let's not forget

what would you say about the weapon mods for PZ aside Brita (which i guess is its own thing entirely) that would extend vanilla firearms in the most natural way in terms of "feels"?

[lusty nebula]

Otherwise you can expand to Bear Grills bars...Cockroaches in hot sauce, Locust bars, Ant powder 😄

[sour island]

Firearms B41 adds like 10 guns afaik and is balanced

[full vine]

caterpillars and grasshoppers => oven => mortar & pestle => protein powder heh

[lusty nebula]

Do you think we will see NPC's before getting elderly? 😄

[cosmic condor]

depends on how old are you

[drifting ore]

u guys aren't elderly? 🐸

[full vine]

then: protein powder + water => protein shake; protein powder + dough + chocolate chips => protein cookies with adjusted nutri values

[drifting ore]

i would play that

[cosmic condor]

I'm not ready for NPC yet. There are a lot of mod ideas that I want to complete before jumping to NPC modding

[drifting ore]

here's a general question, would you rather have exercise fatigue be shorter or have a lesser effect on movement/etc?

[full vine]

been trying to play it and read the code of things, and it has MP5 being worse than a Glock in terms of hit and crit chance etc. While I would agree that it is natural in terms of extending vanilla state of assault rifles (or automatic weapons in general) vs pistols, I'm kinda meh-feeled about MP5 being worse than a Glock :S

[unique trail]

Anyone knows what is the difference between Distributions.lua and ProceduralDistributions.lua?

[lusty nebula]

Here instead I can't wait to play with modded NPC's like Batman, Chuck Norris, Spider Man, etc LOOL 😄

[drifting ore]

you could make a tweak mod for it eventually! i know there's one that increases silencer spawn rates for firearms b41

[full vine]

actually am in progress of that, hence asking here about ToHitModifier just to be sure 😄

[cosmic condor]

Use ProceduralDistributions.lua to insert items in the wardrobe

[unique trail]

Oh okay, thanks.

[cosmic condor]

check the names of containers in Distributions.lua

[drifting ore]

i guess regularity already effects the length of exercise fatigue so lesser effect would be more interesting

[unique trail]

Oh yeah, I realised in original files the distributions are coded like this:

But modded files look like this..

[lusty nebula]

Btw..I dunno you but I'm getting crazy with the thing of the sync saves that can't be removed...

[unique trail]

Should I go with the second approach?

[full vine]

I think it would be cool to implement adrenaline mechanics. Like if you're exercise-exhausted, you need to spend X amount of time, something around overnight, to clear 80-90% of exhaustion, reducing penalties to your swing time and damage. However when at that point, when you start swinging a melee weapon once still exhausted, you get a short burst of dmg and general "agility" and pain resistance after first couple of swings for some time, and then get more exhaustion on the body parts that were involved in exercise/swinging

[drifting ore]

that would be really cool!

[cosmic condor]

Yes, it's way easier. I use that method too

[full vine]

I think one of the "more traits"-category mods made something like that but I'm not sure. Guess gotta check it out

[drifting ore]

my first mod is a pharmaceutical mod. i'm trying to make an anti-inflammatory type pill that gives minor pain relief but also makes you less stiff if you've been working out

[unique trail]

Is it easier? Idk... I like the first approach more... But i guess im different

Im just not sure if that wouldnt break something

as all modders do it different way

[cosmic condor]

I told you wrong, lol, you see the containers in vanilla ProceduralDistributions.lua

[unique trail]

Im confused xD

[full vine]

i like that idea, do you have a sizzling solpadeine that you can put in water? 😄 like, really, you carry water bottles, why not drop a dissolving pill into your water bottle for the day then...

[unique trail]

But in Distributions.lua there are also a lot of different containers etc..

So im confused do they hold different containers or are they the same ?

Oh wait I think I know

Procedural holds the distributions for the rooms

different rooms

and Distributins just the containers

no?

[drifting ore]

that's also a really cool idea! definitely thinking about new ways to take medication like hypodermic needles, iv bags, etc. possibly tied to first aid skill but i haven't gotten that far hehe

[cosmic condor]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38165-quick-guide-how-to-mod-the-loot-distribution-system-distributionslua-proceduraldistributionslua/

this has been shared many time 😆

[full vine]

wait a second. i just thought... remember multi tabs? put sizzling vitamins in water for the day... wew

[sour island]

I think there's a mod for this.

Delays the debuffs until after you're no longer in panic.

Unless you're absolutely exhausted

[drifting ore]

dissolvable tablets definitely has to be a thing. looks like i have a lot to work on lol

[full vine]

probably gotta add new recipes and do some new items like "Water bottle with X med", but I guess it shouldn't be that very hard

[sour island]

I hope with the new liquids overhaul we get more dynamic recipes

[full vine]

I think this one does it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807001835&searchtext=adrenaline

[drifting ore]

the liquid mixing looks so cool

[sour island]

Kind of hate to see all the types of bottles X all the types of liquids in recipes

[full vine]

@drifting ore yeah looks like the adrenaline mod actually does the adrenaline thing. who knew

[unique trail]

okay, thanks for that. I'll try to make sense of it ;3

[drifting ore]

it's a very cool mod. i don't play with it often though because i love to cheese adrenaline junkie with cowardly and agoraphobic

[cosmic condor]

Disclaimer: I'm just a script kiddie

[fast laurel]

I want to make a mod that literally changes the value of one setting to 0 that isn't usually open to being changed. All the guides for mods are way complicated beyond my need for that. Any advice? I just want the "incremental loss of effectiveness from vehicle repair" to be disabled / set to 0.

I think it would be a popular mod. Lol

[full vine]

speaking of cheesing i recently been playing more traits mod with anemic and depraved (and bunch of other stuff) to get lucky/hardy/gym goer, all of that spawned into 10 years later + trash and corpses + barricated world + worse car condition. Kinda shifts your priorities so that even flipflops become more of a holy grail before any kind of weapon

ah, forgot to add -- spawned into louisville of course. fun fun

[drifting ore]

more traits is great for high power gameplay, i can take so many negative traits that i can do adrenaline junkie, 3 nimble, 9 fitness and strength, keen hearing, and blunt skill. basically set if you can last the first 2 days

[full vine]

yep, kinda that. like watching a tv show about horrible stories of failing attempts to escape whatever until on 11th episode you finally make it

[bright wolf]

battering ram go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[full vine]

you finally make it
only to die in a bit because you saw that survivor zombie with a backpack but only had a frying pan but decided to try anyway, or wandered too courageously into darkness which you set to more dark in sandbox settings beforehand heh

[lusty nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/a10-gif-25211968

Now with 41.73 they added the chance to call this for help if needed and if you are only equipped with a frying pan LOOL 😄

[floral lodge]

need to call a function from this file in the file it's pointing to please help

[full vine]

frying pan + cordless phone + scrap electronics + electric wire + sturdy stick + car battery = that’s entirely possible

[floral lodge]

can I not open chat in singeplayer??

My mod has commands people need to be able to call

:/

[thin hornet]

client cannot require server, and server cannot require client
use a shared script and require it into the client and server where needed

[floral lodge]

that makes sense

what about singleplayer not having chat?

[thin hornet]

ISChat.createChat = function()
    if not isClient() then
        return;
    end
...

[floral lodge]

thanks a ton, again, konijima ❤️

    if module ~= "MultiplayerTimeSkip" then return; end
    if string.lower(command) == "enable" then
        Enabled = true
        print("MultiplayerTimeSkip Enabled!")
    else if string.lower(command)  == "disable" then
        Enabled = false
        print("MultiplayerTimeSkip Disabled!")
    else 
        print("Please enter enable or disable to enable or sidable the mod!")
    end
    end
  end

Events.OnServerCommand.Add(OnServerCommand)

should doing /MultiPlayerTimeSkip enable in the server chat not work?

[thin hornet]

no idea what you mean here

[floral lodge]

like

how do I call the command

from inside the server, it keeps saying command not recognized

I don't know the syntax

[thin hornet]

--- send client command to the server
sendClientCommand(module, command, args)

--- send server command to all player
sendServerCommand(module, command, args)

--- send server command to a specific player
sendServerCommand(module, command, player, args)

sending a chat command is something else completly

technically not doable in vanilla without hooking ISChat and doing some magik

[floral lodge]

awww what

then what do these do

[thin hornet]

you would use theses to send network command between client and server

chat commands are not Command like this

they are java sided too

[floral lodge]

looool I been doing the wrong thing the whole time

[thin hornet]

you can hook into ISChat:onCommandEntered() and check what the chat is sending and send your network command there

[floral lodge]

uhhh

I might try that later :P

me and my friend about to try out what I have for now!

the command was just to disable it when we want

but for now we leave it enabled

[thin hornet]

you can use keybind or stuff like that

[floral lodge]

true

[thin hornet]

keybind, open a custom UI and have a button to toggle stuff

[floral lodge]

I haven't done ui stuff yet cause it looked hard

will look into it, might migrate my mod to your typescript thing

[thin hornet]

using typescript will help alot for detecting errors such has invalid type usages etc

but might be complicated at first if you have zero knowledge of javascript or typescript

[floral lodge]

i've done javascript

unfortunately I hated it

:)

We'll see though

[drifting ore]

the best way i can describe how typescript will help is through an example. let's say you have a function myZomboidFunc(player, item, time) that you want to call, so you pass it a player, an item, and a length of time. you get an error. with typescript you'd be able to tell that player is actually supposed to be a number, not a player object.

that's an error that i encountered and was able to debug using pzpw

[floral lodge]

that sounds real nice

[thin hornet]

re-writting WaterDispenser and FuelAPI into typescript atm

this will give a couple example to see what you can do with this system

[floral lodge]

oh sweet!

[cyan basalt]

is PipeWrench what you are referring to when you mention writing it in Typescript? That sounds way more natural than writing lua to me

[thin hornet]

yeah PipeWrench is exactly that

and yeah writing js/ts is alot more cleaner than lua especially if you are a oop programmer

it look like java and C# to me

[cyan basalt]

awesome! I write lots of oop code for work so lua was kinda weird but I'm sure I'd get used to it

Typescript definitely sounds nicer tho :)

[thin hornet]

https://github.com/PZPW-Mods/WaterDispenser/blob/master/src/WaterDispenser/shared/WaterDispenser/WaterDispenser.ts

[cyan basalt]

so when it says: A Java-based transpiler (source-to-source compiler) that converts exposed API from the core of Project Zomboid to TypeScript declarations, mapping the API in a digestable way for IDE software to intelligently forward to programmers when programming their mods. that just means that the ide will have the api methods exposed and not give warnings is that correct? it's not actually decompiling the java -- right?

[thin hornet]

i had that class in lua but really look messy in lua and gets harder as the class grow bigger

[cyan basalt]

or it's just transpiling it into typescript defs

awesome thank you! I'll star that and take a look

ooo i think it's private im gettin a 404

[thin hornet]

its doesnt decompile java

[cyan basalt]

gotcha

[thin hornet]

we offer typing definition of the java and lua side

then you have all of it available in your typescript, and it transpile your ts into .lua

my system named pzpw has a pzpw-config.json which contains the info for each mods and workshop so that it compile your project and move it directly into Zomboid/mods and Zomboid/workshop

[cyan basalt]

this right? https://github.com/Konijima/pzpw

[thin hornet]

yeah

pzpw is a node cli you install globally

[cyan basalt]

gotcha that makes sense

[thin hornet]

its uses pzpw-template when creating a new mod

[cyan basalt]

does the node version matter?

[thin hornet]

PipeWrench has two branch, stable and unstable so you can easily work on the unstable branch of pz when updating your mods

[cyan basalt]

ahhh i see

[thin hornet]

i suggest the lts version but i didnt test with the other one

[cyan basalt]

btw this repo is private

[thin hornet]

oh damn lol brb

should be good

[cyan basalt]

yup it's good now

[thin hornet]

so the assets/ dir contains everything like models, textures etc and the src/ contains your mods .ts files

everything is stiched together at compile time and moved to your game cachedir

[cyan basalt]

gotchaaa and then you just compile it using your tool and it copies the lua scripts/assets to mods/workshop?

that's pretty neato nice work

[thin hornet]

yeah depending what compile command you choose

[cyan basalt]

gotcha

[thin hornet]

compile-distribution just copy the mods into Zomboid/mods

compile-workshop generate everything and move it Zomboid/workshop ready to be uploaded through the game UI

[cyan basalt]

and as a newbie: copying into workshop is what you want to do when you're ready to upload to the workshop? is that the case

ah ok you already answered it haha

[thin hornet]

haha yeah

[cyan basalt]

so is WaterDispenser a mod that you wrote in lua and are rewriting using typescript?

[thin hornet]

ty!

and i answered my own question

i appreciate the assistance! I'll let you know if I make any progress with it 😁

[thin hornet]

sure for any question im here

[cyan basalt]

awesome thanks!

since the general pipeline seems that you just add lua scripts/assets to media/shared/client/server, does this mean that java mods aren't available to be installed through the workshop? Or are there some out there

I'd be interested to take a look at them and see how they handle it

[thin hornet]

java mods are not upload-able to the workshop.
but you can have a link in the description and instruction how to install it tho
usually java mods are for server side only as that doesnt require clients to install anything

[viral notch]

Konijima? how big knowledge you have about change seat mechanics and UI side ?

[thin hornet]

my knowledge about modding vehicle is not that big as i have not really made anything related to cars but what exactly are you trying to do?

[viral notch]

#modeling message

[cyan basalt]

oooo that's good to know! do you happen to know of any I can take a look at?

[thin hornet]

one that is pretty useful let you create custom chat commands, its server side only
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825060402

[cyan basalt]

awesome thank you!

[thin hornet]

The UI for car seat is not working? in the screenshot we can see the seats.

[viral notch]

but not the outline of car

[thin hornet]

do you have a git repo with your project?

[viral notch]

the square is when there is no vehicle UI
but there is just idk how to make it works

[viral notch]

git ?

nope dont use it

[thin hornet]

well you can DM and show me some code so that i can help you

[heavy iris]

Hey there, am I doing something wrong with basemod's client/server commands?

--- Clientside
local Client = require 'Client';
function Client.Commands.getWarned()
    local emitter = getWorld():getFreeEmitter();
    if emitter then
        emitter:setPos(5261, 7934, 3);
        local audio = emitter:playSoundImpl("MysteriousFireAlarm", false, nil);
    end
end``` 

```lua 
---Serverside
local a = require b
local Server = a.system
Server.SendCommand("getWarned",{})```

[thin hornet]

looks ok, but do you not have a sub-directory for your scripts require 'MyModID/Client'

[heavy iris]

not here, its the big template folder I work on

I have frameworks, all of them call System = Server or Client, and store it in framework.System

should not cause any trouble right?

[thin hornet]

if any mod has a lua/client/Client.lua and load after yours it will overwrite your file

[heavy iris]

of course

but i'm testing my mod alone here

(I'll take care of that later, you're right)

[fierce bluff]

Guys, does anybody know if it's possible to scale down the player inside a car?

[craggy furnace]

nope

you either make the car larger or manually adjust the animation

otherwise 🤷‍♂️

[heavy iris]

is that not working in single player?

local function pys()
    if isClient() then return("ClientEvents") else return("ServerEvents") end
end

[tranquil reef]

I've asked this before but nobody answered, is it possible to make the "Grab" function not show for item world models?

If not I can just automatically drop it whenever you pick it up, but it'd be easier to just make it not possible in the first place lol

[winter thunder]

@tranquil reef you could technically make the item impossibly heavy, that way the player could technically never pick it up as it would exceed all character weight limits

Just a thought, bc I have no clue otherwise

[tranquil reef]

I've actually tried that but it looks weird lol

[winter thunder]

Ah 😂 understandable

[tranquil reef]

It's supposed to look like a water puddle, so opening the floor inventory and hovering to see that it weighs like 5000 kilograms is pretty strange

[unique trail]

Can't you remove the option when rendering the context menu?

[tranquil reef]

I wouldn't know how to do that lol

[unique trail]

Well quickly thinking about it.. You need to make an if condition which is going to determine when not to show the option, and probably do that inside "OnPreFillWorldObjectContextMenu" event

there is also a guide somewhere on how to operate tables..

I know how to insert stuff into the context menu, but never though about removing... It might be simple but im not certain at the moment

[cyan basalt]

I noticed in the files that there is a car that's rigged and has anims, is this something that's only accessible with mods currently? I haven't noticed it in my vanilla run yet. I know in some of the vehicle mods you can open the hood and stuff

[winter bolt]

i think thats a test thing since i dont think theyve gotten around to adding it to all of the vanilla vehicles

i know they plan to at some point but its probably not a big priority

[cyan basalt]

ahhh gotcha that makes sense

[drifting ore]

i have an item that is set to drainable and has a usedelta. is there anything else i need to do to have it consume part of the item?

[drifting ore]

ayyy i figured it out. for anyone else you gotta do item.Use(). it threw me off because it doesn't come from InventoryItem, it comes from DrainableComboItem. so there ya go ^^

[shadow geyser]

yeah you can. you can have to modify the following function "ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doGrabMenu(...)" in ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua, to not add the option when the item is the item you don't want moved. Then do the same thing to ISWorldObjectContextMenu.handleGrabWorldItem(...) in ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua. thats probably the easier way. But I think the safer way would be to modify the context menus afterwards in OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu and OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu as that way you won't be modifying vanilla code, and you are less likely to get issues with conflicts

to remove the context menu through the event, you would want to use setVisible(false) to make it not visible which will "remove" the grab option

[tranquil reef]

What line of code would actually get the specific grab menu of an item

[shut ember]

Does sendServerCommand not work when not using a dedicated server?

Because my client doesn't seem to be receiving any commands, or atleast the Events.OnServerCommand isn't being updated

[shadow geyser]

its the line that looks like the following.

local grabOption = context:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_Grab"), worldobjects, nil)
local subMenuGrab = ISContextMenu:getNew(context)
context:addSubMenu(grabOption, subMenuGrab)

the grabOption is adding the option for the grab, the submenu is creating the submenu context menu, and that last line, associates the submenu with the grabOption so that it shows up next to it, when you hover over the grabOption

[blazing vine]

How do makes clothes that are wearable to one sex? Like I want to make a female only item and I dont want to make a male one how do I prevent people from wearing it. Or do I have to spend more time making both versions?

[cosmic condor]

I mean, men can wear bras and all

[blazing vine]

Yeah but I made so many clothes just for girls I really dont want to spend like 100 hours redoing everything

[cosmic condor]

Have you check if it's looking good on men?

[blazing vine]

Yeah, it doesnt look good because I used the female model. so it looks dumb on guys

[cosmic condor]

I'm not sure if it's possible to limit

[blazing vine]

well I guess they can be punished by manmade horrors of extreme clipping

if they really want it

[sterile mirage]

Looking for someone to help with modding my own personal multiplayer server.

[shadow geyser]

I can't see any option for the clothing to do it in an easier way, but you could do the same thing that I was mentioning to monkeyshark by modifying the context menu to remove those options. you would need to modify doContextualDblClick in ISinventorypane to stop the double click from equipting, then removing the options in the dowearclothingmenu call to not add the option when the item in question is your clothing. again the best way to do this would be to hide the context menus using the onfillcontextmenu call rather than modifying the vanilla code.

[blazing vine]

Ok cool, Ill try that. Thanks

[cosmic condor]

Is there any sample mod that allows only one sex to wear its clothing?

[shadow geyser]

also it comes to mind that since you can highlight multiple items and tell the character to equip it, that in that case the context menu stuff won't be able to prevent that. but you can probably prevent that by modifying the isValid() for the ISWearClothing timed action, to make wearing that female clothing invalid when you are male which should stop the action from happening. I can't quite remember whether or not that would cancel the rest of the queued timed actions though, or if it will just skip to the next

[jagged ingot]

Hmm.

[shadow geyser]

if you end up modifying the isValid(), I suggest you monkey patch it instead of straight modifying it, as it will have less conflicts if other people are also monkey patching.

local old_isValid = ISWearClothing.isValid;
function ISWearClothing:isValid(recipe)
    -- Do all of original isValid stuff, then add in our custom stuff 
    if old_isValid(self, recipe) then
        blah blah blah your custom checks
    else
        return false
    end

[jagged ingot]

Mixins would be fun.

Chaining function calls is so funny.

Could have three mods or some amount leeching off of a render function lol

Modding be like

Get me a Spiffo variant of that and It'll be gold.

[cyan basalt]

i overthink so much i don't even know where to start

ask me why i've decompiled the source code and set up multiple projects but haven't started 🤦‍♂️

[drifting ore]

you're exploring, no shame in that tbh. open some simple mods and add the library dependencies to that project too, very useful to see what people call often ;)

[calm depot]

Patch the isValid() call for wearing a piece of clothing

If it's one of your items and gender is wrong, return false, otherwise, return result of original function

[cosmic condor]

I would like to study the code, if there are any mods that use the function for this purpose

[vale plank]

does anyone know of a good texturing tutorial? i'm wanting to try my hand at a basic clothing mod (just retextured skinny jeans to be a classic grunge plaid instead) but i can't find any good guides on how to retexture something while keeping it in line with the game's style

[winter bolt]

i dont think anyone has made a tutorial but i usually use the vanilla textures as a base

if you can get one of the textures in black and white you can pretty much just use it for the shadows so you can add in other details yourself without needing to worry about them

[vale plank]

gotcha! i'm actually using your mod for a lot of cross-referencing so tysm :)

[winter bolt]

nice lol

most of my recent items i textured from scratch but i have no idea how to explain that whole process

when you add details and stuff to the texture you're making i'd recommend making it all in black and white so you can add colour and other stuff later to make it easier

[cosmic condor]

If you want to be more precise, you may need to use Blender for texture painting, vanilla UV map is hell

[winter bolt]

oh yeah i made a shadow template for most of the body that you can use

i completely forgot i made this

its not perfect but it should be good enough

[hearty gulch]

Is it possible to adjust the starting durability from another mods items that are spawned in?

[eternal garnet]

I have a "Custom Occupations" mod, and for all of my items I have the code:

inventory:AddItem("ItemName")

For some reason however the item, "Base.DigitalWatch2" for some reason will not spawn, despite this being it's ID.

I have tried spawning said item with just "Base.DigitalWatch2", but that has not worked either.

Has anyone else had issues with this item?

[shadow geyser]

you can use the DoParam function to modify the properties of the item templates. This will affect any newly spawned items, but not existing ones to my memory

[hearty gulch]

Would that have to be part of the original mod, or is it possible to intercept or adjust after the fact in another mod?

[winter bolt]

you can have it be in a separate mod, as long as its loaded after the original mod

and then in the lua file you can add

if getActivatedMods():contains("ORIGINALMODID") then 
CODE HERE    
end

[shadow geyser]

you could instead add the call into the the OnGameStart event, which will make sure it gets loaded after all the scripts are loaded. I can't actually remember rn when in the order all the item script files are read in comparison to the other mod files

[twin basalt]

Does anyone know if its possible to overwrite the body masks folder for a clothing item? theres a part of a body i want to hide whilst keeping another part in though the masks don't offer that option...
Can i overwrite the masks folder for that specific clothing item without altering game files?

[winter bolt]

i'm not super sure how it works but i've noticed this line in a few of the clothing .xml files that you could test
<m_MasksFolder>media/textures/Clothes/BulletVest\Masks_BulletVest</m_MasksFolder>

the folder in that line doesnt actually exist so i havent tested how it works

[twin basalt]

ill try to look into it

thank you

[winter bolt]

when the main menu is loading i think it says it loads the scripts folder before lua

[hearty gulch]

I'm struggling to find a way to get the items the other mod spawns. is projectzomboid . com/modding the best place to look up classes and methods?

[winter bolt]

this page helped me a lot
https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/scripting/objects/Item.html

[hearty gulch]

Oh cheers this actually has a search box. Any pointers where I should look to modify another mods items?

[cosmic iris]

Did you ever end up posting this on the workshop?

I have the UGG jacket, so if anyone needs reference photos or videos i could help out

[hot patrol]

I did not. I was really just playing around with blender. I couldn't get the texture to a point I was happy with.

[hot patrol]

I have a replica jacket that is more accurate to the show than the actual ugg jacket.

[twin basalt]

turns out it dosen't really work

[winter bolt]

hmm

you can also try messing with this line as well since i know this one does work
<m_UnderlayMasksFolder>media/textures/Clothes/BulletVest\Masks_BulletVest</m_UnderlayMasksFolder>

it hides parts of clothing textures and models but not the base model

actually hold on let me find a better example so you can check the actual folder

<m_UnderlayMasksFolder>media/textures/Clothes/Jacket/Masks</m_UnderlayMasksFolder>

[twin basalt]

yeah that i know of but i need to hide the body parts the most

and it does not hide it for some reason

[winter bolt]

inside those mask folders theres an image that has the whole body with the coloured zones so you could try editing that and seeing if it changes what parts the mask hides on the body

this one

[twin basalt]

ohh, that may be...

[winter bolt]

i'm not sure how likely it is but still

oh actually

i dont think it would work if you use the underlay mask line but it might work if you do that with the masks line i posted earlier

not sure though since there are no items in the base game with that mask line that actually point to an existing folder

[twin basalt]

im pretty sure the m_MasksFolder has something to do with the actual clothing item

but it may also go with the body with the Mask.png image

no yeah.. for some reason the masksfolder is connected to the clothing item

i have no idea why is this something that is possible while custom body masks aren't

because you could literally just change the texture of the clothing item without using a mask on it

there is a static variable "s_masksFolderDefault" pointing to the textures/body/masks folder

but how do i change it i have no clue

[winter bolt]

i'm gonna do some testing

[twin basalt]

https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/core/skinnedmodel/population/ClothingItem.html

this is the clothingitem object in java

like it seems the body mask is there but unchangeable?

or wait

could base textures be used to remove and act like a mask?

[winter bolt]

hmm

[twin basalt]

nope nevermind, basetextures cant be used if there is a model on the clothing item

[winter bolt]

yeah i've just tested a bunch of stuff with m_MasksFolder and it doesnt seem to affect the base body at all

it might just be for changing how overlayed clothes items affect the current item or something

or its just redundant idk

[twin basalt]

i think they may want to consider adding a feature like that

because it seems the body directory variable is in the object

but unchangable because its static

[winter bolt]

oh yep your guess was right

editing the mask folder in the body folder does aggect the body

[twin basalt]

oh?

ah

[winter bolt]

which means its probably hardcoded

[twin basalt]

i dont think so though

in the link i sent you theres the "s_masksFolderDefault" variable

but its static and the value is the body mask textures directory

its in every clothingitem class

[sour island]

@eternal garnet check that you're getting the correct player's inventory

[twin basalt]

i think they thought its unnecessary to change the mask directory for the indexed masks

maybe something they should consider changing though

[winter bolt]

yeah

i'm assuming you cant change it through lua then

i'm not really familiar with how static variables work

[twin basalt]

its static and cant be changed

like ever

[winter bolt]

damn

that feels like an oversight lmao

at least we solved that mystery i guess

[twin basalt]

well theres still the m_masksfolder which we didnt really get whats it for

cause only the Mask.png alters the clothing item

[winter bolt]

what does it change?

[twin basalt]

its sort of like an invisible mask on the clothing item

which parts of the texture should be visible

which is dumb?

[winter bolt]

oh like for the current item

[twin basalt]

yeah

[winter bolt]

yeah i dont understand why the masks are even separated into different colours and images tbh

it feels pointless but theres probably some weird stuff that requires it

[twin basalt]

the option to add masks onto the clothing item itself is pretty pointless to me

as its static and cant change

and you can just have different textures with transparent spots if you want to add masks onto different items with the same model

[winter bolt]

yeah i dont really get it

i understand how the underlay masks thing works but the rest destroys my brain

[twin basalt]

i feel like were missing something

but idk

[sour island]

the amputation mod does this

have you opened it up to see what it's doing?

there used to be a pinned message with all the masks and indexes

[winter bolt]

yeah i have the indexes here but we're trying to figure out how to change what the indexes affect when a clothing item uses them

im gonna check the amputation mod

[winter bolt]

oh the amputation mod just uses the normal masks

[sour island]

You're trying to make an item placed somewhere effect somewhere else?

[winter bolt]

the parts of the body that are hidden by each mask id is defined by a mask folder but theres no way to change the mask folder that a clothing item uses because the folder is hardcoded

[sour island]

you'd have to change the clothing item to point to a copy of the file in the other folder?

But you'd probably have to change it's model to be placed differently

[winter bolt]

nah it doesnt work since theres no way to change the folder it uses for hiding the base body mesh

its a static field

you can point to masks that hide the clothes but not the body mesh

[sour island]

clothing items are ran through scripts though

public static final String s_masksFolderDefault = "media/textures/Body/Masks";

[twin basalt]

oh

where is this located?

[sour island]

it's not even used once...

the variable

[twin basalt]

ah

[winter bolt]

i'm confused lmao

[sour island]

🤷‍♂️

I'm in the decompiled source

[twin basalt]

then how do the body mask work?

[sour island]

selecting to see uses has 0

   public ArrayList m_Masks = new ArrayList();
   public String m_MasksFolder = "media/textures/Body/Masks";

that's public

[twin basalt]

..?

[winter bolt]

yeah but that doesnt affect the body mesh

[twin basalt]

but it dosent work though

[winter bolt]

oh wait what

what else is m_MasksFolder used in

[sour island]

just this:

   private void onFileTaskFinished(ClothingItem var1, Object var2) {
      if (var2 instanceof ClothingItemXML) {
         ClothingItemXML var4 = (ClothingItemXML)var2;
         var1.m_MaleModel = this.fixPath(var4.m_MaleModel);
         var1.m_FemaleModel = this.fixPath(var4.m_FemaleModel);
         var1.m_Static = var4.m_Static;
         PZArrayUtil.arrayCopy((List)var1.m_BaseTextures, (List)this.fixPaths(var4.m_BaseTextures));
         var1.m_AttachBone = var4.m_AttachBone;
         PZArrayUtil.arrayCopy((List)var1.m_Masks, (List)var4.m_Masks);
         var1.m_MasksFolder = this.fixPath(var4.m_MasksFolder);
         var1.m_UnderlayMasksFolder = this.fixPath(var4.m_UnderlayMasksFolder);
         PZArrayUtil.arrayCopy((List)var1.textureChoices, (List)this.fixPaths(var4.textureChoices));
         var1.m_AllowRandomHue = var4.m_AllowRandomHue;
         var1.m_AllowRandomTint = var4.m_AllowRandomTint;
         var1.m_DecalGroup = var4.m_DecalGroup;
         var1.m_Shader = var4.m_Shader;
         var1.m_HatCategory = var4.m_HatCategory;
         this.onLoadingSucceeded(var1);
      } else {
         this.onLoadingFailed(var1);
      }

   }

(var2 instanceof ClothingItemXML)

it's read right off the xml

[winter bolt]

i tested though and the only thing that affected the body mesh was changing the textures in media/textures/Body/Masks

[sour island]

Let me check body visuals

[winter bolt]

oh

i got it to work

no way

i just setup the textures wrong

m_MasksFolder does affect the body

[sour island]

👍

[sour island]

What was the goal of all this anyway

[winter bolt]

fello wanted to hide part of the body mesh for an item they were making i think, but the default masks werent working for it

@twin basalt

yep it works now

wait

[sour island]

Like to replace the body with something else?

[winter bolt]

no i'm a moron hold on

i accidentally left in the edited body masks

[eternal garnet]

I use the same code for my other items that are spawning perfectly fine, same with the occupations tags.

It’s that item for some reason, unless some other moniker needs to be applied

[winter bolt]

yep false alarm m_MasksFolder does not affect the body

[eternal garnet]

When I get back home I will post the full code line

[winter bolt]

yeah it doesnt seem to do anything

[drifting ore]

Anger ^

[winter bolt]

[twin basalt]

lol

maybe its bugged?

it seems like thats what they were going for

but for some reason it dosent work?

like i think we need to check the code for where the "m_Mask" indexes are set

because those numbers correspond to the image names and if we can change the directory at it can work

[cosmic iris]

If it's a replica, how can it be more accurate than what was actually used in the show?

I'm still really surprised no one has put out a mod for it anyway!

[hot patrol]

The show used a modified version of the ugg jacket. The front pocket was removed along with the thing on the collar. Mine is basically that.

[winter bolt]

yeah it might be good to let the devs know about it somehow just in case they end up fixing it

it'd be cool if it did get fixed

[hot patrol]

Yea. It is definitely one of my favorite looking apocalypse jackets. Or just jackets in general.

[cosmic iris]

Collar was also shortened a tad bit! I've already removed the collar strap and chest pocket on mine. Cutting up the collar is a bit scary though 🥲

Haven't found a tailor i trust enough. Big step doing such a permanent change on a $5000 jacket lol

[winter bolt]

ive always wondered why they modify clothes that much for shows and stuff?

[hot patrol]

It's not actually cut. It is tucked inside itself to shorten and round it out. I remember seeing this on Reddit I think.

[cosmic iris]

It's cut

[winter bolt]

im not into fashion design or anything so i dont really see why it happens so often

[hot patrol]

Probably to make it more accurate to the comic version. Also avoiding product placement.

[cosmic iris]

I think they just have very specific looks they might want

And a lot of the clothing has story behind it

At least the first 6 seasons, the later ones not so much

[winter bolt]

the comic version looked a bit different i think

[cosmic iris]

Talked with the costume designer a handfull of times. She would dye stuff based off of what they were doing or what character they were with that episode

[winter bolt]

just generic jacket with the fur

[hot patrol]

It changes. Once they get to Alexandria it is a lot more like the show one

[winter bolt]

it looks the same but without the badge i think

[hot patrol]

This is actually the site I looked at. They go deep into the mods.

https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/walking-dead-rick-jacket.254961/page-47

[cosmic iris]

This picture is a great demonstration. Eulyn womble (costume designer) always thought that Rick and Shane was one so their clothing and color reflects that. Shane has a dark top so Rick has a dark lower. Rick has a tan top but then Shane has a tan lower

[winter bolt]

all the post-alexandria images look the same

[cosmic iris]

That is literally my thread

[winter bolt]

lmfao

[hot patrol]

Oh damn. Lol

[winter bolt]

ricks season 2 outfit did go hard

[dapper geode]

Hello, I got some error when uploading mod to workshop, it said "results=15", anyone know how to fix this?

[cosmic iris]

He has a lot of cool outfits in Season 2, the jacket is stupid rare and expensive though

depends on the size, but they go from $300 to $2000

Color looks different because of the lighting etc obviously

[hot patrol]

I had wanted to buy the original. But my replica is pretty solid. 3 winters in and still going strong

[winter bolt]

yeah pretty much every jacket that characters wear in media are so expensive irl

the jacket they used in re4 remake is like almost 2 grand

[cosmic iris]

His shirts though in season 1-5 are cheap

[cunning musk]

Does anyone have a list of songs in the True Music mod?

[cosmic iris]

Usually about $35 but as mentoned above, most of them are quite heavily modified for the show

[winter bolt]

yeah i remember seeing an instagram account mention that a lot of them are discontinued

[cosmic iris]

That again, would be mine

[winter bolt]

oh lmao nice

[cosmic iris]

@rickgrimes_sa_ids on instagram

[winter bolt]

yep thats it lol

i went through it recently because i was looking for inspiration on what to add to my mod

[hot patrol]

You are hereby the Rick jacket man. It is now your duty to get these clothing items in game and irl

[cosmic iris]

I would love to see some more westen clothing

[cosmic iris]

If you want any pictures i have roughly 80% of the identified pieces he has used

[cosmic iris]

If i had any modding skills i would absolutely love to 😦

[winter bolt]

i was thinking of editing the winter jacket from my mod to look more like ricks now since i made another one that was more like leons

and i dont really like how the old one looks now

[hot patrol]

Ooo nice.

I saw your new Leon one to and that looks really good

You should call the Rick one the murder jacket or something since that's the meme

[winter bolt]

lmao

i just named it after his fortnite skin

[hot patrol]

Huh..

It's called winter jacket in Fortnite?

[winter bolt]

yeah since its an alternate style it has a unique name

[hot patrol]

I like murder jacket better.

[cosmic iris]

This ,please

I think most zomboid players would get it lol

[winter bolt]

i could probably add a tooltip lmao

i like keeping the names vanilla friendly

[unique trail]

Anyone knows if there is a way to create a loot table which only applies to a specific room inside a specific zone? E.g. I want to put a unique loot table to medical room inside the secret base, but how do I limit the loot table to only apply when it's inside medical of SecretBase zone?

[cosmic iris]

Love your mod by the way! @winter bolt

[winter bolt]

[hot patrol]

Same here. Some of the most stylish clothing

[cosmic iris]

Haven't ever disabled it, a must have in my eyes since it adds so much variaton!

[winter bolt]

i'm not sure what else to add to it tbh lmao

there arent that many items in it right now but its hard thinking of new clothes that are different enough from existing ones to justify adding but also not already being added by other mods

[cosmic iris]

Speaking of TWD though, i'm really surpried no one has added the orrange backpack yet

I have 0 experience with modding but probably wouldn't be too hard?

[drifting ore]

im willing to try; currently in the process of trying to make a backpack mod

[winter bolt]

oh nice

[drifting ore]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38185-new-room-definitions-4165/

these are all room definitions, so i guess you would just have to figure out a way to define a new one?

[unique trail]

Im aware of how to define a new one... The thing is that this forces me to create a "new" map with the new room definition

[winter bolt]

i was wanting to make that one poncho that a few of them wear in season 4

[drifting ore]

is there any significance to this bag? or should it simply be like another bag

[winter bolt]

its just a hiking bag i think

[cosmic iris]

It's seen in the show from season 3 up until season 9

Plenty of character used it. It's mostly iconic for being in the show for so long

Rick, Daryl, Eugene, Glenn and Carl used it

Probably some more but those are the ones i know used it at the top of my head

[winter bolt]

oh damn yeah i forgot it was first in season 3

for some reason i thought it was just 4

[cosmic iris]

Ill drop a few picutres of it

[cosmic iris]

• this one

[shadow geyser]

you could always hack it so that you are adding in your new items through code, rather than a distribution table, that way you can avoid having to make a new map to have the room definition. you can use the lua event "OnSeeNewRoom" that would trigger the first time a new room is loaded and generated. Then just figure out the correct criteria so that it only executes your code in that specific room. Checking the coordinates would probably be enough. then you can do what ever you want to add the stuff you would like, into the room

[cosmic iris]

The poncho is super cool, there is a replica you can get on etsy. Might be good to check it out as there are some pretty clear photos of it on there

[unique trail]

That might be a one good solution... Thanks I will try to fiddle around 🙂

[winter bolt]

ohh nice yeah i'll check it

lmao i googled "the walking dead poncho" and found the image from akyet's poncho mod immediately

https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/fetch/c_fill,g_auto,f_auto,h_3000,w_4500/https%3A%2F%2Fundeadwalking.com%2Ffiles%2F2021%2F03%2FTWD_1018_EA_1117_0340_RT.jpg

[cosmic iris]

https://www.etsy.com/listing/202560888/daryl-dixon-poncho

Here is the listing

[winter bolt]

nice

[cosmic iris]

Shows it pretty well

[polar prairie]

this ingame as a model for the poncho-mod would be so cool.

[cosmic iris]

Zomboid was my way to live the TWD dreams i had

Getting some pieces from the show ingame would be

[winter bolt]

yeah i tried making a poncho a while ago but never got far

apparently i deleted the file too

[cosmic iris]

Ponchos are quite cozy IRL

Such a cowboy sterotype but i have one i used at the office for a few months during winter times

[winter bolt]

yeah i kinda want one tbh

[cosmic iris]

It's like a blanket but not lmao

Mine is Alpaca wool apparently

It's this one but the new version which is slightly different from the one in the show https://www.amazon.com/Gamboa-Alpaca-Poncho-Hooded-Dark/dp/B00NH08RZ0/ref=sxin_14_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.b22dd580-4446-4b0b-b48f-e135b4f59576%3Aamzn1.sym.b22dd580-4446-4b0b-b48f-e135b4f59576&crid=1VIUA9KRZV3ZK&cv_ct_cx=Alpaca+wool+poncho&keywords=Alpaca+wool+poncho&pd_rd_i=B00NH08RZ0&pd_rd_r=89e91324-0631-4ee5-8007-35d2d965f289&pd_rd_w=QBZAR&pd_rd_wg=csBmC&pf_rd_p=b22dd580-4446-4b0b-b48f-e135b4f59576&pf_rd_r=SFXHGNRH7NPVH6K145S4&qid=1660220846&sprefix=alpaca+wool+ponch%2Caps%2C129&sr=1-2-f06a3cb8-907c-4703-8a7e-33e464367a73-spons&psc=1

[ancient grail]

hi how do i create a ui that opens when a player enters the server. cuz what i found is something that stays even after exiting the server

local UI
local text1 = getText("UI_Rules")

local function choose(button, args)
-- getPlayer():Say(args.choice);
UI:close();
end

local function onCreateUI()
UI = NewUI();
UI:addRichText("rtext", text1);
UI:setLineHeightPercent(0.35);
UI:nextLine();

-- UI:addButton("b1", getText("UI_Cancel"), choose);
--UI["b1"]:addArg("choice", getText("UI_Ready"));

UI:saveLayout();

end

--open 'UI'
function onCustomUIKeyPressed(key)
if key == 21 then
local UI = onCreateUI();

end

end

Events.OnCustomUIKeyPressed.Add(onCustomUIKeyPressed);

--Events.OnLoginStateSuccess.Add(onCreateUI());
Events.OnGameStart.Add(onCreateUI());
--Events.OnConnected.Add(onCreateUI());
--Events.OnCustomUIKeyPressed.Add(onCustomUIKeyPressed);

pls advice thnx

[winter bolt]

yo its the fortnite skin

[cosmic iris]

oh what

[cosmic iris]

Lmao had no idea

[winter bolt]

yeah they added daryl and michonne a few years ago and then rick last year

[cosmic iris]

Im surprised they didnt go with Rick's denim shirt for his outfit

[winter bolt]

oh they did

[cosmic iris]

The Denim supply?

Blue denim shirt

[winter bolt]

grey but still

[cosmic iris]

Oh the gray levis

[winter bolt]

jacket rick and poncho daryl are 2 of my favourite skins easily

jill valentine is up there too

[cosmic iris]

I was asking since very other media hes in he has the blue denim one

PUBG, the VR games and some mobile games

They use the exact same outfits

[hot patrol]

Another TWD clothing items I am surprised has never been modded in is Daryl's vest.

You'd think that would be #1

[cosmic iris]

I think i know why actually! AMC did a few pictures of every cast member as they were going to make action figured but they never did them. So they probably just used those pictures when they put him in games

https://www.jessicatalos.com/The-Walking-Dead-Cast?fbclid=IwAR1ZOP_FMiVcJZ8A8no5qVbQZR_B4A1SyrSQ3wjyHVTdHnfAakffXbX8eC0

[winter bolt]

i did add a leather vest without sleeves to my open jackets mod so i could probably do something with that

[cosmic iris]

Seen this "skin" in like 4 games lmao

[winter bolt]

lmfao it looks so awkward

it reminds me of those harry potter promos

[cosmic iris]

[hot patrol]

[cosmic iris]

Same vibe pretty much

[winter bolt]

trevor man

[cosmic iris]

Haven't really seen him in any shows or movies since

Wonder what he's up to

[winter bolt]

he was in better call saul a few times

only for a short role though

[hot patrol]

It's crazy how much ogg looks like Trevor whilst also looking nothing like him. Like obviously they used his face scan but you can really tell how they method him out hard

[winter bolt]

yeah lmao its scary

[cosmic iris]

crazy how it's pretty much the same character

He plays that type of person in the 3? things ive seen him in lol

[winter bolt]

yeah he's been super typecast but he's still great lmao

[cosmic iris]

He's still brilliant yeah

[radiant venture]

spongie why did you have to present me with thsi cursed knowledge

the world didn't need to know TWD was in fortnite xd

[winter bolt]

in bcs he's still similar but not evil like trevor or simon

[winter bolt]

apparently theyre the least used skins

i'm one of the few that uses them lmao

[radiant venture]

well yk characters from a 18+ show in a 12+ game

[winter bolt]

yeah its funny

[radiant venture]

i feel like they kinda missed their target audience

[winter bolt]

i never see anyone use the resident evil skins either except for myself lmao

[cosmic iris]

To be fair, i guess target audience for TWD and fortnite is a bit different

[radiant venture]

still haven't watched TWD

i probably should

[cosmic iris]

Is Fortnite still going? havent played since 2019 i think

Did i hear that they removed building??

[winter bolt]

nah theres an optional gamemode without building

i always play it though

[radiant venture]

not just that, fortnite kids probably haven't watched TWD and i doubt that enough TWD watchers play fortnite

so yk they missed BOTH target audiences

[winter bolt]

i really hope they add a leon skin to promote re4

it'd look sick

[cosmic iris]

Yeah it was a really strange thing to mix fortnite with TWD

Wait, is there RE skins in fortnite?

[winter bolt]

yeah they added chris and jill last year

[radiant venture]

weren't they adding that one grey fucker from RE uhhh 2 i think? to DBD?

[cosmic iris]

Feels like another example of missing the target audience lmao

[winter bolt]

jill looks great but chris is really rough

chris has his re8 outfit and the model is honestly dog shit

[radiant venture]

they've added bruno mars i doubt they care at this point XD

[winter bolt]

his re5 model looks so much better but i'm really annoyed it wasnt matching with jill

[radiant venture]

NO MY BOY

WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM

[winter bolt]

he actually got butchered so hard

[radiant venture]

i hate how he looks in re 8 in general tho-

like

[winter bolt]

i love how he looks in 8 but that fortnite skin is not it lmao

[drifting ore]

https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/tree/master/clothing

im following this guide, and for step 4, im not sure where i should be putting the GUID table addition

[radiant venture]

to me since i'm a bit younger he'll always be "the guy from that one RE7 DLC" please don't murder me spongie a saw your profile i know you love RE

[winter bolt]

yeah they added nemesis and they're adding wesker from 5 now

[winter bolt]

lmfao

[radiant venture]

i'd love to cosplay his RE7 look tho

still gotta get the gasmask somehow-

and well, the muddy sort of smudge for all the clothing

[winter bolt]

yeah i dont really mind his re7 look that much its just that they changed his face so radically compared to the other games

[radiant venture]

i'm always so scared to weather clothes for cosplay-

[winter bolt]

you have to fight a real biohazard for the authentic look

[radiant venture]

yeah i do agree i never saw any game older than 7 except for 1,2 and that U-boat one

[radiant venture]

maybe get lung damage even just to sound authentic too

[hot patrol]

The police didn't seem to accept my explanation for biting my neighbors throat out to ready my Rick jacket for cosplay

[winter bolt]

its weird because his model in 8 is the same face scan from 7 but they just modified it to resemble the other versions more

[winter bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/twd-the-walking-dead-walking-dead-what-andrew-lincoln-gif-8457894

[hot patrol]

[winter bolt]

lmfao true

[radiant venture]

but sure i'll just go erradiacte twitter, i'm sure it's toxic enough there

[winter bolt]

his face is pretty consistent except for 7 lmao

[radiant venture]

where did his jawline go in 7?

also god the CV version-

ah wait i remember 5 now, didn't he try punching a boulder?

[winter bolt]

yeah lmao

https://tenor.com/view/chris-redfield-gif-11540871

[radiant venture]

YEAH THAT SCENE?

what were they even thinking

heehoo break knuckle?

[winter bolt]

the fact that chris has his 5 outfit in fortnite while jill has her re1 outfit is super annoying because its literally the reverse in dead by daylight

they dont match in any crossovers lmao

[radiant venture]

lovely

haha corparate funny

[shadow geyser]

im not super knowledgable about the UI specifics, but I think the issue is that you are not attaching your UI to the UI manager. To my knowledge, the UI manager is what would close that UI when you exist the game, otherwise it doesn't know that that UI is only meant to be in game

[shadow geyser]

from what I've seen, you place it into the fileGuidTable.xml file. take a look at other mods that are adding in items with models and you can use them as a template

[cosmic iris]

Wait what

[winter bolt]

yep

travis scott too lmao

[cosmic iris]

Jesus lol

Seems like everything is in Fortnite

[sour island]

fortnite is the real metaverse

[radiant venture]

you'd be suprised how many people are in there

[winter bolt]

theyve got ripley and the xenomorph too

[cosmic iris]

I mean, if it makes them money then good for them

Just dosent feel like it's hitting the target audience with most of those, so i wonder how well they are doing

[violet shell]

Seriously, is it possible to discuss off topic stuff in another chan ? This is modding chan guys 🙂

[winter bolt]

oh yeah i forgot what channel this was lmfao

[radiant venture]

pff right-

[cosmic iris]

Yes, definitely. Where do we migrate to?

[radiant venture]

lets go to general chat

[radiant venture]

migrate? LIKE THE ZOMBOID THING, YOU HOLY SHIT ZOMBOID REFRENCE YOOOO

    inventory:AddItem("J6_Gauntlets")
    inventory:AddItem("J6_Shoes")```

This is what I am using and these items spawn

Just the Watch does not

@eternal garnet here is a code I use in one of my mods to give players some stuff at start. Maybe it could help you ?

-- Add a starting item when a player spawns --

Events.OnGameStart.Add(function()
local player = getPlayer()
local pData = player:getModData()

    if not pData.FirstTimeItem then
        player:getInventory():AddItem(MyMod.MyStartingItem)
        pData.FirstTimeItem = 1
    end
end)```

people here helped me to code this properly a few month ago.

That'd be the same thing he's doing tho

[eternal garnet]

I don't want to change up any code as I don't know how that will affect my mod.

Seeing as ever other item spawns in the game and my own modded items spawn with the code that I have, the code works just fine, it's the item.

What I am asking is, has anyone experienced issue with said item

[sour island]

Does it not work for either digitalWatch or digitalWatch2?

[eternal garnet]

Tbh I only tried with "Base.DigitalWatch2" I did not know there was a Base.DigitalWatch.

I have just been using the website for the item codes.

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Digital_Watch

I will give that a try now and let you know

[sour island]

I see the issue

    item DigitalWatch
    {
        DisplayCategory = Accessory,
        Type                =            Normal,
        DisplayName            =            Digital Watch,
        Icon                =            DigitalWatch,
        Weight                =            0.0,
        MetalValue = 3,
        Obsolete = TRUE,
    }

    item DigitalWatch2
    {
        DisplayCategory = Accessory,
        Type                =            AlarmClock,
        DisplayName            =            Digital Watch,
        Icon                =            DigitalWatch,
        Weight                =            0.0,
        AlarmSound = WatchAlarmLoop,
        SoundRadius = 7,
        MetalValue = 3,
        Obsolete = TRUE,
    }

Obsolete = TRUE,

[eternal garnet]

Ah

[sour island]

that tag deletes it on spawn

[eternal garnet]

Is there a way to get around that as the item is in game

[sour island]

look in clothing_jewellery.txt

There's variants for each wrist (didn't know that)

[eternal garnet]

WristWatch_Right_DigitalBlack

[violet shell]

@sour island Can you explain what Obsolete argument does ? Or point me to somewhere I can read about it ?

[eternal garnet]

Think I got it

[sour island]

It tells the game to delete the item on spawn

[violet shell]

so, how we can find some digital watches in game then ?
