how do i put it in mods folder
i took it out
bc i deleted all my mods
from files
bronze yoke
it'll load the mods folder in your workshop folder structure
tawdry solar
i dont have mod IN the folders
thick karma
Just put the zip I sent you in Zomboid/Workshop
tawdry solar
oh ight
thick karma
With all your files in the right subdirectories
it'll appear in the game again after that
tawdry solar
here??
thick karma
And you can test it
Exactly
nO
Wait

Zomboid / Workshop is not the same as ProjectZomboid / Workshop
Here
bronze yoke
does zomboid even load the mods in ProjectZomboid/mods either?

I'm looking for some guideance to get my simple model to work. Currently I have an fbx (ClubV1.fbx) in the models_X folder. I created an item (copy of the nightstick) and tried to use my fbx. But it's not showing something in the hand... What steps do I have to do?

SwingAnim = Bat,
DisplayName = Club V1,
MinRange = 0.61,
SwingTime = 2,
KnockdownMod = 0,
SplatBloodOnNoDeath = FALSE,
Icon = RawBat,
RunAnim = Run_Weapon2,
IdleAnim = Idle_Weapon2,
BreakSound = NightstickBreak,
DoorHitSound = NightstickHit,

I renamed the fbx file for the folder (ClubV1.fbx).

Try calling the new static method on IsoObject (You'll need to check what the parameter types are in java).

--getWorld():takeOwnershipOfEmitter(soundEmitter)
local soundId = soundEmitter:playSoundImpl("ZombieDemonScream", nil)
soundEmitter:setVolume(soundId, 0.55)

but now it plays the sound. Don't know why this works now and which method it does choose...

Yea, I see what you mean. If it were this override, it would throw a null pointer exception.

In the following table snippet, what is the correct syntax to reference the procList fields and properties?
bookstore = {
shelves = {
procedural = true,
procList = {
{name="BookstoreBooks", min=6, max=99, weightChance=100},
{name="BookstoreMisc", min=0, max=99, weightChance=20}
bookstore.shelves.procList[1].name?
bookstore[shelves][procList][1].name?
Something else?
hearty dew
bookstore.shelves.procList[1].name
bookstore["shelves"]["procList"][1]["name"]
Either of those work, but it assumes there is at least 1 value in procList. If there isn't, the value returned by doing [1] will be nil, causing the following .name or ["name"] to cause an error
If you can't guarantee procList has at least one element in it, you'll want to do something different to avoid the error. What are you trying to do to those procList elements? Add one, delete one, find one and modify it's contents?
dusk sonnet
I'm actually trying to parse Distributions.lua in a C# program. I can enumerate a table down to procList, and at that point I'm trying to get any/all fields and properties within

That's a good suggestion, and one that I've come across once or twice so far in my Googling

The lua manual is pretty useful for that too. It's relatively short and succinct in its explanations

this guy described things in a way a 12 year old could understand, which is good because thats about as much mental capacity as I have left at the end of a work day

actually, the 5.4 lua manual is good at describing metatables. The 5.1 isn't :p
The 5.1 manual just gives you code lol
astral dune
what version is pz anyway?
hearty dew
5.1, but __index is the same between 5.1 and 5.4 as far as I know
5.1*
*: kahlua's 5.1
astral dune
right, an incomplete 5.1 from what I'm told
hearty dew
Mm, has some missing apis and some bugs here and there
ancient grail
Goodday yal
hearty dew
So if there is an api to wait for a function to complete and you can provide it args and also specify an optional timeout, what would be a good interface?
function awaitTask(func, args, timeout)
-- where args = {arg1, arg2, ...}
function awaitTask(timeout, func, ...)
function awaitTask(func, ...)
-- where args go after func, and the optional timeout is the first param?
Something else?
astral dune
I like passing an args table because then you don't need to get the order of the inputs correct tbh
if you put in a timeout, it should probably be its own argument, at the end where it can easily be omitted
so the first one
hearty dew
Oh, you'd still need to worry about the order here. The above would be used like:```lua
function myFunc(arg1, arg2)
return arg1 + arg2
end
```lua
function myTask()
local result = awaitTask(myFunc, {5, 10})
end
actually I guess you would still need the order of the inputs correct, because the function isn't going to know what order to unpack them
ya
hearty dew
yea
astral dune
still the first one though, with the caveat that timeout should just be given some default value if not supplied
curious though, does ... pass by reference like an args table does?
hearty dew
each of the params are passed individually as far as I know (numbers would be passed by value, for example, and table by reference)
same as normal
astral dune
I wonder if that's better or worse

No chance another else can get MoodleUI's setVisible(false) to hide the Moodle UI is there? I could not figure it out earlier, and my workaround is giving me a headache too, lol, enough so that it would be ideal to avoid the workaround entirely...

hearty dew
I wonder if that's better or worse
better or worse in terms of what?
astral dune
garbage collection, performance
generally I like to pass as much by reference as possible, as long as the data can get closured in some way to prevent any weird behaviour
hearty dew
Oh, not sure. I double it's an issue with a couple hundred function calls. Might be something to measure once you get into 10k function calls
astral dune
I have a different brain teaser for you, if you're interested
hearty dew
Well, passing some things (e.g. int) by value is often faster than passing by reference
or can be depending on a number of variables (relationship in memory)
astral dune
I'll take the eye emote as a maybe'
hearty dew
Let's hear it lol

the mod I'm working on is to flesh out the engine and engine mechanics

However, there is one last thing missing: I want the parts to only be visible and accessible, if it makes sense. Player's shouldn't be able to check the condition of the piston, for example, without removing the cylinder head. The piston shouldn't be removable without at least pulling off the oil pan and maybe crankshaft. Modeling these relationships in an extendable and logical way has been eluding me

How do you see this being visualized. Like how is the player going to take off the cylinder head and then be able to see the camshafts status?
astral dune
I've added an "Engine Mechanics" window, almost a carbon copy of the Vehicle Mechanics window, but for the engine alone. Same as the Vehicle Mechanics window, all the parts show up in a list on the right. I plan on greying out any part that is currently not "visible", so that the player would need to pull parts out to get access to it
hearty dew
Hmm, tricky part for me is understanding the nature of all the types of relationships there are between the parts to then come up with a good model
astral dune
Similar to the vanilla mechanic forcing you to take a tire off before you can remove the brakes, but with an added visibility element

What is the issue with that model?
astral dune
some parts can be accessed in different ways from different directions. Again leaning on the piston example, you can SEE it from above OR below by removing different parts. Also, it can only be removed from below, so I have to decide if I want visibility and accessibility to be different or just say "if you can't get a tool on it, you can't 'see' it"
hearty dew
some parts can be accessed in different ways from different directions. Again le...
Right. That's why I was thinking a graph might fit better
astral dune
you're probably right, just trying to mull over how that would actually work
hearty dew
visibility and accessibility
ah, that complicates it heh
astral dune
Spark plugs are a good example of that. Immediately accessible, but only "visible" if you pull them out, or take the head off
hearty dew
Might have two graphs based on the same set of vertices, one for visibility and one for accessibility
astral dune
engines are similar enough that these graphs could potentially be generalized into functions rather than imprinted on the parts themselves, but I'm not sure
hearty dew
Did they have rotary car engines in 1993? 😅
astral dune
I believe the wankel existed, ya... its in my engine type enum, just in case, lol
seems like I will have to separate accessibility and visibility, something like this:
| Accessible | Not Accessible
Visible | "Exposed" | "Visible"
Not Visible | "Obscured" | "Hidden"
Thinking something like this.. So if you want to check whether the cover gasket can be removed, you'd check all outgoing edges to see whether they have been removed (the head cover, in this example)
and do that recursively
hearty dew
Ignore the cylinder head -> gasket arrow. That doesn't really make sense
astral dune
Seems simple, so my brain is rejecting it
astral dune
I think it will work, just have to be smart about it

Something like that might work

Did they have rotary car engines in 1993? 😅
since approx 1950s ish
hearty dew
since approx 1950s ish
Thought they were much newer than that in cars. Wow
astral dune
Something like that might work
I was thinking maybe something like this
AccessGraph = {
[Part.FanBelt] = {},
[Part.Piston] = {{Part.OilPan, Part.CylinderHead},{Part.OilPan, Part.CrankShaft}},
[Part.CrankShaft] = {Part.MainBearing},
[Part.MainBearing] = {Part.OilPan},
[Part.CylinderHead] = {Part.ExhaustManifold, Part.IntakeManifold, Part.CylinderHeadCover},
[Part.CylinderHeadCover] = {},
[Part.Radiator] = {},
[Part.WaterPump] = {},
[Part.HeadGasket] = {Part.CylinderHead},
[Part.SparkPlug] = {},
[Part.IntakeManifold] = {},
[Part.ExhaustManifold] = {},
[Part.Alternator] = {},
[Part.FanBelt] = {},
[Part.AlternatorBelt] = {},
[Part.SuperBelt] = {},
[Part.SerpentineBelt] = {},
[Part.Starter] = {},
[Part.CamShaft]= {},
[Part.Lifters] = {},
[Part.PushRods] = {},
[Part.Valves] = {},
[Part.Distributor] = {},
[Part.Carburetor] = {},
[Part.FuelInjectors] = {},
[Part.AirFilter] = {},
[Part.OilFilter] = {},
[Part.OilPan] = {},
[Part.TimingBelt] = {},
[Part.TimingChain] = {}
}```
then I could treat it like template, have different access graphs for different engine typesFirst production car with one was in 1967 
astral dune
just looking for resources on the last engine I owned in the 90s, the LM1, to get an idea of how a GM 350 engine would have been put together
hearty dew
I was thinking maybe something like this
```
AccessGraph = {
[Part.FanBelt] ...
Mm, that will serialize into mod data easier too
astral dune
I'm thinking leaving the templates outside of the moddata, and storing the installed parts only in the moddata
hearty dew
Mm, that will serialize into mod data easier too
Well, depends on that those keys are, actually. If they are tables, maybe not
hearty dew
Well, depends on that those keys are, actually. If they are tables, maybe not
I don't actually know how/if pz serializes tables as keys 🤔
astral dune
they are my fancy enums that looks Something like
Parts = {
Sparkplug = "Sparkplug",
Fanbelt = "Fanbelt",
...
}
Tyr, how do bullbars (or other items, really) apply a protective effect on whatever part they're covering? 
Kinda looking at the M998, saw front and rear health but no real modifiers on the entries around the bullbar
hearty dew
I haven't the slightest idea. I think Anonymous looked at that some time ago. Or someone did. I recall a convo about it
astral dune
from what I've seen, most mods store the condition of all the parts on the vehicle, and check every tick whether they've changed and revert the changes if applicable
that being said, there is a "Front end condition", I can't currently remember how it factors in though
young edge
that seems like a PITA.
But yeah, seems to be correct, the M998armor.lua does seem to store part conditions 🤔
astral dune
I've come up with some better ways to mitigate damage from zombies, crashes and wear and tear
but I haven't yet figured out how to deal with weapon damage
young edge
I am listening with both of my ears and all of the hair on my body 
astral dune
lol
young edge
because the way zombies interact with vehicles in terms of damage (and them slowing down to a crawl) has caused me mental agony
astral dune
unfortunately we are locked clean out of the physics engine, so its very difficult to impossible to mitigate the slowdown, but the damage is easy to deal with
young edge
I noticed that vehicles have physical mass, does that affect anything at all?
astral dune
yes, mass and engine power control how quickly you accelerate, and also how well you stick to the road
one thing to try is to maybe increase the weight and power equal amounts when you hit a zombie, might make running them over easier, I haven't tried it yet
detecting when you've hit a zombie at speed is easy, I'll give you the secret: any impact with a zombie (and potentially player) that is hard enough to cause damage also leaves some blood on the car. Its very computationally inexpensive to check the blood levels
young edge
but if you do that around the corner, handling would be impacted, correct?
Sounds "simple" enough. Sadly I lack the know-how to do these things, the spawntweaks I've made with the help of a buddy is about as far as it goes for me 
astral dune
it very hard to tell how handling is effected by anything. The game does limit your steering power the faster you go, but I'm pretty sure wheel friction, suspension damping, compression etc all play a part in how a vehicle actually handles, but that's all done in the physics engine, which can't even be decompiled afaik
heady crystal
Override:true doesn't seem to work on recipes for me. Is it broken or am I missing something?
young edge
Fair enough. I do hope you're able to release your mod sooner rather than later. It kind of sucks when other vehicles are trivialized by KI5 vehicles solely due to them having a bullbar Meanwhile other vehicles which have a visual one on their model still fall apart 
Not to mention trucks.
astral dune
I'm considering making my vehicle damage detection an api so others can use it as well, but I'm probably not going to release anything until build 42, since there is a vehicle revamp coming then, and also there is an intentional bug in the java code right now that makes it very hard to change engine power
astral dune
dev said it to me personally in this very channel
lol
I don't think its been mentioned in the blogs
young edge
a
bronze yoke
it's likely that vehicle armour could be added then anyway
young edge
did they go into any detail as to the nature of it or just a "might wanna hold off there for a bit, bud"
astral dune
they did make it sound like they were putting in means of adding armor as well as detecting damage, which makes a lot of my current work obsolete
heady crystal
Outstanding
That'd allow me to make crazy mods
They better make this in December or January so I can flip off new mods on industrial scale
bronze yoke
i would be shocked if b42 was out that soon
young edge
Well.. Still would mean that modders would have to update their vehicles, assumedly.
unless they make it a system of "armored doors" instead of normal doors, etc. etc.
astral dune
heady crystal
They probably won't make it incompatible
You can't just break mods and call it a day
bronze yoke
they totally can
heady crystal
Yeah but have they ever
bronze yoke
most b40 mods don't work at all
young edge
Not like they'd break them, they just wouldn't make use of the new systems, methinks
heady crystal
bronze yoke
from the sheer scale of b42 i would expect a lot to break
astral dune
ya, absolutely
bronze yoke
although i wouldn't worry much about things they haven't mentioned specific plans of reworking
young edge
p sure they'd give modders time to update their mods ahead of time anyway
unstable branch and such
bronze yoke
i don't expect my vehicle armour mod to work in b42, but i'm optimistic that they'll make it obsolete entirely
young edge
that's the hope
young edge
devs making the modder's work obsolete is a desirable outcome
basements have been confirmed iirc?
bronze yoke
i'm pretty happy with how the models are turning out, but i'm not an artist, tis would do much better
astral dune
I hope so for me as well. For now I just play with my java modded to what I think build 42 might look like for vehicles, but its unlikely that I'm right
heady crystal
As long as they one up me by a significant margin, I am completely ok with them integrating "my" mod concepts
bronze yoke
well like
astral dune
them revamping the whole coordinate system just to add basements is wild
bronze yoke
if they somehow did it worse than me i would just make my mod improve it
heady crystal
basements have been confirmed iirc?
Nah they said they were working on it iirc and it may be a thing, and most likely not in B42
young edge
them revamping the whole coordinate system just to add basements is wild
such is the nature of the beast.
But it isn't just for that, I think.
Futureproofing, prolly
bronze yoke
I hope they add bicycles
they've definitely mentioned wanting motorbikes and stuff and b42 sounds like the perfect time to add them
young edge
seems like B42 is gonna be the feature playground build
fast galleon
can I set up a fake controller for testing
bronze yoke
i'm most excited for that skill revamp honestly
hopefully that'll solve the sometimes strange balance
young edge
Optimization is the highest factor for me atm
bronze yoke
also i'm unreasonably excited for that light propagation stuff, it doesn't have a big gameplay effect i just think it's super cool
young edge
Some of my friends' potatoes wanna throw themselves off a cliff.
And even my PC is still working harder than it should
Same here lel
bronze yoke
i'm a big fan of playing with pitch black nights so more variance in light levels always sounds good to me
young edge
I'd consider it if light levels made more sense. Flashlights would become a bit nicer to use too
astral dune
full tilt down the highway is like 10fps for me, optimization is definitely very welcome
young edge
amen
bronze yoke
plus when i was new to the game i thought zombies were attracted to light and was super careful with curtains and stuff and i want to return to that life

Turning off the flashlight and seeing absolutely nothing thinking I was so smart

they do see flashlights
bronze yoke
they don't
heady crystal
☝️
young edge
someone's life has been a lie, just not sure whose
bronze yoke
turning on lights at night does attract zombies, but it doesn't matter if you have curtains or even a solid wall
heady crystal
lmao
bronze yoke
and it's only house lights that does that
heady crystal
Probably due to sound too
bronze yoke
yeah it's just a sound
young edge
furiously clicks the light
astral dune
could have sworn I saw it in the code, the flashlight has to be pointed directly at them though
and they have to be turned towards you too
bronze yoke
well i'd be happy to be proven wrong
young edge
inb4 anon was just dreaming about PZ
astral dune
I could be imagining things. A quick search shows very few mentions online of it
heady crystal
_furiously clicks the light_
young edge
astral dune
that they're attracted to light switch noises is dumb though
heady crystal
My friend actually did this to us once and I was so mad lmao
astral dune
Still need the blinds
bronze yoke
well hopefully with light propagation they'll get rid of that
young edge
that they're attracted to light switch noises is dumb though
this game uses to many visible/audible and invisible/inaudible sound pulses
bronze yoke
🤔 i could probably make zombies attracted to the flashlight
young edge
give them pinpoint hearing and they'll instil the fear of god into you
bronze yoke
although with my experience with pitch black nights it's not too necessary
if you can see them, they've seen you
astral dune
one of my runs was ended by me very carefuly fortifying a house, putting up blinds etc, only for a zombie to break in next door and trigger the alarm
bronze yoke
LOL
young edge
that's cursed
astral dune
thats what gives this game its charm imo, lol
bronze yoke
yeah i never even considered the possibility

I still struggling with adding a weapons using my fbx as model. I also ask my question in the #modeling channel so far but till now didn't get an answer. If someone could give me a hand to add a simple model to the game I would really appreciate it (I absolutely have no clue about this stuff). I described my current situation in the post: #mod_development message

I am having trouble with making a UI panel interactable in the world map screen. Unlike the vanilla ISWorldMapSymbols element, if I create a new ISPanel,ISPanelJoypad or ISCollapsableWindow on the World Map, then I can't click on it, and in the case of the ISCollapsableWindow I also can't close, move or resize it. Therefore, any additional elements within the panel (buttons, checkboxes, etc.) can't be interacted with, the game just behaves as if I was clicking on the map itself and dragging it around instead of my new UI element.
Is there a way I can fix this? I'm trying to look through code for ISWorldMapSymbols in search for something that makess the map screen treat an element as "solid", but so far I've not found anything that would work in my case.

You'll going to need to make an event for it I believe

so i would have to create an on create function like

oh.
weak sierra
ive never messed with that kind of item, so im not sure if there's any special magic around them
tardy wren
Which makes me think the moveable furniture isn't an item
weak sierra
yeah it's some kind of magic thing
i believe
but it should still be possible shouldn't it
tardy wren
At least it should throw an error or something
devout galleon
yeah but not even an error
its kinda weird
main reason i want to go the crafting menu way and not the RMB menu like carpentry is that if you have too many items its just massive and annoying bloat
i could bypass it by making 2 recipes but i would prefer it to be a single craft else there is bloat in the crafting window 😂
tardy wren
I suppose, try adding the module to the item? How it's defined in the lua files?
devout galleon
this is kinda all i can find when i search for that tile
tho i am only searching in the media folder
tardy wren
No, media should have them all?
I don't know tbh
It should work
Maybe without the Moveables?
bronze yoke
moveables are really weird
devout galleon
yeah
some tables if you pick them up their item becomes "Moveables.moveable"
and there is like
500 moveables.moveable
bronze yoke
maybe moveables are just one item with different properties...?

Yet listed multiple times, magic nonsense
devout galleon
cant even find this lol
fast galleon
Did you make the tiles sheet?
devout galleon
its base pz
bronze yoke
in-game item list doesn't have couches either, i'm guessing multiple part moveables are just a generic item with properties and not unique items
yeah, it's all moddata looks like
devout galleon
i dont understand why they are even 2 items to begin with...
yes some couches are multiple pieces but that couch isnt lol
fast galleon
another thing, are you in debug / do they fit into your inventory
bronze yoke
ReadFromWorldSprite(string) seems relevant
fast galleon
I was doing something similar but I added scripts for the moveables, to spawn with debugger easier
devout galleon
hmm
main reason for all this is that its for a RP server and stuff like More builds is just massive clutter and not really something you want on a MP server since it uses wood to create metal objects aka you can craft, disassemble and get metal

that does work, didn't know that was how moveables worked 😅

getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem('Moveables.Moveable'):ReadFromWorldSprite('furniture_seating_indoor_03_16')
getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem('Moveables.Moveable'):ReadFromWorldSprite('furniture_seating_indoor_03_17')
your oncreate function would look something like this
function Recipe.OnCreate.CustomRecipe(items, result, player)
player:getInventory():AddItem('Moveables.Moveable'):ReadFromWorldSprite('furniture_seating_indoor_03_17')
end

might be useful since i plan to allow beds to be crafted too and i doubt someone can carry those kingsize beds haha
is it possible to define the crafting icon in the recipe?
so it does not draw from the result?
bronze yoke
getSquare() instead of getInventory() i think

IsoPlayer var4 = var2.players[var3];

}

}
I think getOnlinePlayers is meant to return all players regardless of coop
hearty dew
There is one for coop - I didn't realize what you actually wanted
I don't want coop. You can have one client on a dedicated server that has multiple players. getNumPlayers doesn't work server-side:
Notes:
getNumActivePlayers:
- Singleplayer: number of local players in client (including all split screen players)
- Client: number of local players in client (including all split screen players)
- Server: 1, but getSpecificPlayer() calls always return nil on server
```It does. That's why it doesn't return the number of clients (it returns the number of players)
sour island
Ah I get what you mean now
hearty dew
I'm trying to get the number of clients not players
sour island
must have misread
hearty dew
The way the server assigns online ids to players is done in such a way that I should be able to infer which players are from the same client (it seems to assign them in blocks of 4 for each clients to allow for run a 4 online ids for the players on the udp connection for that one client). It's a rather brittle solution though since it is coupled to implementation details, will break if pz devs change it
sour island
what about ```java
public static UdpConnection getConnectionFromPlayer(IsoPlayer var0) {
Long var1 = (Long)PlayerToAddressMap.get(var0);
return var1 == null ? null : udpEngine.getActiveConnection(var1);

I would assume each client is one connection? You could parse through and not record duplicates
hearty dew
yea, each client is one connection
That's on GameServer, which isn't exposed, I believe? Let me double check
sour island
I'm scanning through uses of udpEngine.connections.size to see if there's anything
hearty dew
That's on `GameServer`, which isn't exposed, I believe? Let me double check
Yea, GameServer isn't exposed, otherwise this would be too simple 😅
sour island
Well sending server commands only goes through 1 connection
You could have a ping-pong of server to client to server
But honestly, checking the online IDs seems like less of a headache
I get you want to look out for maintainability but sometimes that 80% 20% rule kicks in
hearty dew
You could have a ping-pong of server to client to server
oh, yea. That wouldn't work for what I'm doing. I'm trying to make a coroutine that blocks until all clients respond to a server command, so would be awful to double the network traffic to do that hehe
hearty dew
But honestly, checking the online IDs seems like less of a headache
yea
I'll just go with inferring based on the online IDs for now. Nothing else seems to stand out as a better option at this point. Thanks
sour island
np
Honestly surprised there isn't already a 'getConnections' feature
looking through the java - they use getconnections internally and for loop Isoplayers each time - when it could be it's own function
hearty dew
I presume the devs decided not to expose the connections, as it's be rather powerful to be able to send packets directly. GameClient, GameServer, UdpConnection, all not exposed
Would be quite handy though
hearty dew
Ah
GameServer.udpEngine.connections.size();
is used all over GameServer.
I imagine the first dev did it that way, and the pattern emerged
sour island
I mistook each use as also parsing through the 1-4 isoPlayers
bronze yoke
weird that gameclient isn't exposed but the lua global object has a getter for it
hearty dew
I recall reading some brief remark from a pz dev (on forum maybe? idk) that suggested that there was a lot more exposed to lua previously (java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.reflect.Field, etc) that they have since removed. That getGameClient api might be a left over they missed
Oh, wait, there's a field to get the UdpEngine on the GameClient. If I can get the number of connections via fields alone, that could work :o
On client-side:
on server-side:

If a class is exposed would all the subclasses be as well?
MediaData is exposed but MediaData.MediaLineData is not
java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: getTextGuid of non-table: zombie.radio.media.MediaData$MediaLineData@1421bc76
I'm assuming that's why I'm getting this
hearty dew
If a class is exposed would all the subclasses be as well?
Not necessarily, no
sour island
I was hoping I could get around a really old issue, so I'm trying to take a crack at it
hearty dew
If the guid is readable from a field, you could get it that way
sour island
I tried also if mediaLineData.getTextGuid as a means to make it compatible when it can be used - but that also sends the same error

ah that's right, I forgot debug mode lets you do some checks for that
text is what I'd need
odd notch
is there a method to finding if an item has a custom name or not? isCustomName doesn't seem to detect any change
hearty dew
yea, debug mode you could write fields and invoke methods
in non-debug, can only read fields

reading would be fine
I've read fields before but then I was trying to set it
didn't know reading works in non-debug
do you have the field stuff handy?
nvm found my old stuff
hearty dew
Oh, wait, the text field has a guid in it. Is that not the guid you are after?
Would need to parse it a bit
sour island
the text field is what I need exactly
the knownmedialines in IsoPlayer seems to just be a collection (hasmap if I recall) of those guids
this is what I was doing a while back for setting a field
local function setZombieSpeed(zombie, speedVal)

debugGetFieldValue is easier to use in the console. getFieldValue caches the field object to avoid the cost of looking it up via reflection multiple times

Might be buggy. Haven't used this version with the cache yet aside from testing it a bit. Let me know if there are any issues with it
If you give it a wrong name, it will print out all the proper strings that can be used for the fieldName
hearty dew
that solves a big issue with Skill Recovery Journal
What issue is that? Just curious
sour island
People can rewatch VHS tapes of TV shows to stack XP
might still be an issue tbh
now that I think about it
welp
having the lines in the journal prevents using the TV shows after reading but I need to figure out how to see if they watched before
Btw, couldn't I just do local lineGuid = getClassFieldVal(mediaLineData,"text") ?
hearty dew
Btw, couldn't I just do `local lineGuid = getClassFieldVal(mediaLineData,"text")...
Not with the way it is written above
In debug, because Field is exposed, you can :getName() (I believe) to just do "text". That's the way I had written it at first, but then it wouldn't work in non-debug.
You could write it to parse out the last bit after the final . from the full name of the field though
(sort of like how debugGetFieldValue does)
Instead of```lua
string.find(tostring(field), "%."..fieldName)
could do something like
```lua
string.find(tostring(field), "%."..fieldName.."$")
Whats the difference between getConnectedPlayers() and getOnlinePlayers()?
I'm wondering because both return an array with players...
And before I forget... Still craving for help...
#mod_development message
weak sierra
^ok apparently they are only one model and texture. very cool
in VFE they have separate ones
and in most other gun mods
might be why
hearty dew
Whats the difference between getConnectedPlayers() and getOnlinePlayers()?
Notes:
getNumActivePlayers:
- Singleplayer: number of local players in client (including all split screen players)
- Client: number of local players in client (including all split screen players)
- Server: 1, but getSpecificPlayer() calls always return nil on server
getOnlinePlayers:
- Singleplayer: nil
- Client: lists all players (including split screen players)
- Server: lists all players (including split screen players)
getConnectedPlayers: trash. only seems useful for working with scoreboard?
- Singleplayer: 0
- Client: only updates when a player manually open scoreboard, but lists all players then
- Server: 0
getConnectedPlayers seems to be for messing with the scoreboard
and returns 0 or returns stale data most of the time
blissful salmon
ok... so what do I use when I want to loop through all current player on the server? getOnlinePlayers()? I thought I read something above that this doesn't work serverside...
hearty dew
yea, getOnlinePlayers() if the code is running server-side
SoulUtils = SoulUtils or {}
--[[
Gets all players matching a predicate. The default predicate is all players that aren't dead.
Usage example:
local all_living_players = SoulUtils.getPlayers()
local all_players_named_bob = SoulUtils.getPlayers(function(p) return p:getDisplayName() == "bob" end)

SoulUtils.getPlayers = function(predicate)
local result = {}
predicate = predicate or function(player)
return not player:isDead()
-- and player:getCurrentSquare() -- Will filter out players sufficiently far from client that their square isn't loaded
end
if not isClient() and not isServer() then
-- singleplayer
for i = 0, getNumActivePlayers() - 1 do
local player = getSpecificPlayer(i)
if player and (predicate == true or predicate(player)) then
table.insert(result, player)
end
end
else -- multiplayer
local onlinePlayers = getOnlinePlayers()
for i = 0, onlinePlayers:size() - 1 do
local player = onlinePlayers:get(i)

table.insert(result, player)
end
end
end
return result
end
for _, player in ipairs(SoulUtils.getPlayers(true)) do
print(player:getDisplayName())

It will take care of server-side/client-side specifics
blissful salmon
but this uses getOnlinePlayers() on server... so it works?
hearty dew
getOnlinePlayers:
- Singleplayer: nil
- Client: lists all players (including split screen players)
- Server: lists all players (including split screen players)
getOnlinePlayers works on client and server. In singleplayer it returns nil

ok... this is no problem...
Is there an easy way to go through all active zombies in the world on server side? My question above was already for a not so clean solution (iterate the player get the cell get the zombielist). But if there is a better way I open to it...
hearty dew
I see another mod using getCell():getZombieList(). I really don't know. What's a cell vs a world map is something I'm still not clear on yet
public static IsoCell getCell() {
return IsoWorld.instance.getCell();
}
iirc getCell returns the active cell
hearty dew
I presume there is 1 cell per world? Not sure
sour island
and cells are 300x300 pieces
hearty dew
300x300 tiles?
hearty dew
and grid squares are blocks of tiles (10x10, or around there, I think it was variable?)
hearty dew
Ah, okay
sour island
Is there an easy way to go through all active zombies in the world on server sid...
going back to this though, there is no way to iterate over ever zombie if the player isn't near it - otherwise the zombie is unloaded
going through the players is probably the only logical way to go about it
you could try identifying duplicate cells in the case of multiple players if you were worried about that
or even check the duplicate on the zombies
What is your eventual goal?
blissful salmon
so the cell is at a fixed place? not wandering with a player I suppose? If there are multiple players in different parts in the world there should be multiple active cells or did I get this wrong?
I want to go through all active zombies and check if it's time to do a scream...
blissful salmon
But if I standing on the edge of a cell do I get the zombies of the cell right next to me?
weak sierra
I think the 10x10 might be the chunks?
cells are 300x300, chunks are 10x10
it is not variable
sour island
But if I standing on the edge of a cell do I get the zombies of the cell right n...
Yes
hearty dew
Ooh, that makes sense. That explains these variables:
IsoChunkMap.ChunkWidthInTiles -> 190
IsoChunkMap.ChunkGridWidth -> 19
clarification: i don't know what it does in memory, but on disk chunks are fixed
the same files for the same cells
the same number of files
sour island
The 'Cell' is handled per client - not sure what coop does - maybe it handles up to 4
blissful salmon
Ooh, that makes sense. That explains these variables:
```
IsoChunkMap.ChunkWidth...
But why? Is the method description unclear? It's another cell...
weak sierra
i only deal in dedicated mp
sour island
From what I understand chunks are not fixed on the map
weak sierra
i can copy a chunk file out of a save
and put it in another save
and it will be the same area
the filenames never change
each cell has the same number
961 files per cell
sour island
maybe it's broken down to make the scope easier to read?
sour island
makes me think what the point of cells are
weak sierra
makes me think what the point of cells are
map loading
afaik
there's metadata stored at the cell level
then the actual data for the tiles is at the chunk level
sour island
ah, like lots and stuff
weak sierra
if u transplant chunks from one save to another without the cell files
u lose all ur items
retain tiles
chunks are only tiles
zombie data is in zpop files
and vehicles are in vehicles.db
sour island
so the map is broken down into both cells/chunks
weak sierra
outside of the map files entirely
one of my first mods was in this topic to let me reset cells selectively
sour island
but I've seen something that handles the player's scope of whats loading also referred to as a chunk
weak sierra
recommend skimming its code
would probably tell u a lot
or maybe just redundantly what i already told u
idk
weak sierra
but I've seen something that handles the player's scope of whats loading also re...
that's bad
we call that the reality bubble in my experience
lol
it's 150 around the player
so half a cell in any direction
sour island
that sounds familiar
sour island
I could have also just misread like I usually do
I for sure never saw reality bubble tho lol
weak sierra
i mean im speaking of what players call it
and modders
i have no idea if the code somewhere refers to it as something else
blissful salmon
I'm even more confused... I checked the javacode for getCell():
public IsoCell getCell() { return IsoWorld.instance.CurrentCell; }
So I'm not sure if I can use this on serverside. Because on server side the Worlds CurrentCell can't be the same on every player.
weak sierra
that's just a static instance
blissful salmon
So my idea don't work i think.
weak sierra
oh
it isnt it seems
huh
well on the server u can use that
i have done it
but i have no idea what the current cell is in that circumstance
lol
i was calling things that should be static but aren't
so it didn't matter
blissful salmon
hmm... I have to inspect further... But sometimes I try to understand what I'm coding 😄
sour island
I think the server has it's own 'client' instance - but I don't think it would help in this case
Your code would have to be ran on clientside for getCell() to work
weak sierra
the server is a headless client, yeah
blissful salmon
My idea was to do the check every 10 minutes instead of zombieUpdate. just because of performance...
weak sierra
kinda curious how that works
it'd be cool to hijack that to move the "player" around to force load stuff
if it's that complete anyway
blissful salmon
but now it seems that the onZombieUpdate is the more safe approach...
sour island
you can do a bypass
similar to how ontick houses onhour etc
but I dump shit in updates all the time to no impact lol
also, @hearty dew 👍
I still need to sit down and figure out how to prevent gaining XP from the known media :\
In the case of people watching the VHSs before reading
With this, if they read prior, the TV shows shouldn't do anything
hearty dew
My idea was to do the check every 10 minutes instead of zombieUpdate. just becau...
Does it need to be timed to wall clock or in-game time?
sour island
What exactly are you trying to achieve again? I don't recall seeing it mentioned
blissful salmon
Atm I use the onZombieUpdate to apply settings from the moddata some zombies have. I made a list of all zombies I already checked so I can jump out as soon as possible from onZombieUpdate. when the settings are applied (in my testcase zombies that where resurrected player) I want to do a scream which is hearable by every player. At the moment I did it in the 10minutes function on server to trigger. So far it worked in my solo test... But now I try to make it multiplayer...

Does it need to be timed to wall clock or in-game time?
Goal is that it happens to all clients at the same time. I don't know how exact I want to time it... for example every 4th ingame hour... Or maybe add a random range of time do a minimum. For example somewhere between 6 and 10 hours.
sour island
Like all zombies?
bronze yoke
can anyone confirm if player usernames are/aren't unique? it just uses your steam username right, couldn't two players have the same one?
sour island
SteamID is unique
blissful salmon
or just zombies that scream every ten minutes
I want to make a scream when the player dies and then from time to time like I described.
hearty dew
So if I understand your requirements.. When a player dies, it emits a scream. And also, all zombies that were previously players should screen at the same time on all clients. The time at which the ex-player zombies scream is still up in the air but it seems to be periodic with perhaps some randomness?
steep copper
Hi, is there a way to add "pour on ground" option on right click on a new drainable ?
blissful salmon
I'm trying to get kind of an all in one solution. I also think about to adding it to modData and the check on the clients... But then I have no event and have to check every tick or zombieUpdate.
Currently I'm using this on server
zombie:addWorldSoundUnlessInvisible(150, 100, false)
and this on client:
Events.OnWorldSound.Add(OnWorldSound)
Events.OnPlayerDeath
There is that for player deaths. Its parameter is the player object.
blissful salmon
But im not sure if this is a good option.
sour island
you might not need modData tbh
iirc, the game has a variable for former player zombies
public boolean isReanimatedPlayer() {
return this.bReanimatedPlayer;
}
If you wanted them to do it insync
blissful salmon
So if I understand your requirements.. When a player dies, it emits a scream. An...
Yes when the player dies. And than per zombie on clients at the same time... so maybe one zombie is earlier one later...
the onPlayerDeath is a good option for the first scream...
sour island
so the zombies should be screaming periodically and independently
last flax
<#869327724504842330> probably will have more people familiar with doing that

This Is what I use serverside to apply settings. I have to reapply them every time the server starts... I want do manipulate other zombiestuff later... So I try to get an universal solution.
The first scream is not the problem but I struggle with syncing the others.
they do...
I think modData is on IsoObject...
sour island
modData should be universal, but there's some cases where it isn't
you probably don't need modData
blissful salmon
Hmm... I wish for some more events 😄
sour island
I wonder what would happen if you stored the zombies in a list
and they became unloaded
astral dune
memory leak I suppose, lol
blissful salmon
But I can try to check the modData on every zombie in cell on client cell each 10 ingame minutes...
blissful salmon
I wonder what would happen if you stored the zombies in a list
I really don't know. So far I remove them from my list when they died. I already run into the problem that I got a new zombie which id was already on the list. Maybe I have to get the references or idk...
sour island
Idk if the references are kept between loads
you could have the zombieUpdate check for the reanimated boolean, then add itself as a key to a table with a timestamp as the value
then during update it checks for the value against the time and generates a scream + assigns new time stamp
then you wouldn't be parsing through the list
although if the references don't get saved idk if that would cause an issue
+unloaded zombies
blissful salmon
Idk if the references are kept between loads
We are nearly on line together 🙂 But the reanimatedPlayer flag is just for my first step. I want to be able to add stuff to random zombies. Which will be kept when I restart the server. And save as much resources as possible... If the list doesn't work. I can in worst case rely on the modData. Maybe this is not to bad if I can jump out of onZombieUpdate early. The list was an idea for performance.
sour island
Let me check something
I don't think zombies retain modData
I've messed with Zombies to make custom AI
they're very particular to any changes done on the fly
you'll have to reapply changes everytime

I'll make a test on this one. I have still a wandering "me" on my multiplayer game. If I can make this stuff all on modData then the scream should lead me to "me" or to another zombie 😄 Or if the modData swaps then my current code gives each zombie with the reanimated flag new modData so there should be many screamers because restarted the server several times...
astral dune

If you're okay with some randomness, I'd just do the screams based on probability. Calculate that on the server, and broadcast a server command for the zombie to scream. I think that'd work and be relatively simple
sour island
---@param zombie IsoZombie | IsoGameCharacter | IsoObject
---@param apply boolean
function eHelicopter_zombieAI.onUpdate(zombie, apply)
if not zombie or zombie:isDead() then
return
end
local AIs = eHelicopter_zombieAI.checkForAI(zombie)
if AIs then
for AI_ID,_ in pairs(AIs) do
local specialAI = eHelicopter_zombieAI["onUpdate_"..AI_ID]
if specialAI then
if zombie:getModData()["initApply"] ~= true then
--[DEBUG]] print("EHE:SWH:SZ:initApply not true, setting `apply` to true")
apply = true
zombie:getModData()["initApply"] = true
end
specialAI(zombie, apply or false)
end
end
end
end
Events.OnZombieUpdate.Add(eHelicopter_zombieAI.onUpdate)
in this case I rely on the modData not being saved
that's why I confirmed it isn't saved
and this hasn't broken since
local group = AttachedLocations.getGroup("Human")
group:getOrCreateLocation("Special Zombie AI"):setAttachmentName("special_zombie_AI")
AttachedWeaponDefinitions.gottaGoFast = {
chance = 100, weaponLocation = {"Special Zombie AI"}, outfit = {"AlienTourist"},
bloodLocations = nil, addHoles = false, daySurvived = 0, weapons = { "ZombieAI.gottaGoFast" } }
AttachedWeaponDefinitions.attachedWeaponCustomOutfit.AlienTourist = { chance = 100, maxitem = 1, weapons = {AttachedWeaponDefinitions.gottaGoFast} }
module ZombieAI
{
imports

item gottaGoFast
{
Type = Normal,
}
item nemesis
{
Type = Normal,
}
item licking
{

}
item fodder
{

}
}
Maybe this can work. It was one on my first approaches. But I had the problem that the command was faster on the client than the new zombie. So the client didn't find the id. Maybe I can go with a mix and make the OnDeath event on the client and the rest as kind of a command system...

Isn't all the XP gain random?
astral dune
the xp is gained by specific lines in the show, not the show itself, right?
sour island
nah
from what it looks like it has a cooldown
that's doubly local
like, the object is localized, and in that localized init - it has local vars
seems like it tries to add an amount everytime and stops per cooldown of 30
blissful salmon
I tested a mod which gave the possibility to give an XP multiplier to each perk and also an option to make the XP gain "flat"...
astral dune
huh. It always seemed that the XP increases happened exactly during a new line appearing above the tv, but could have been confirmation bias
sour island
function self.OnTick()
for playerNum=1,4 do
local tbl = cooldowns[playerNum]
if tbl then
for code,value in pairs(tbl) do
if value > 0 then
tbl[code] = value - (1*getGameTime():getMultiplier());
end
end
end
end
end
this is under the radioInteractions object
local code = string.sub(_v, 1, 3);
local op = string.sub(_v, 4, 4);
local amount = code~="RCP" and tonumber(string.sub(_v, 5, _v:len())) or nil;
if amount ~= nil and code~="RCP" then
amount = op=="-" and amount*-1 or amount;
if Interactions[code] ~= nil then
if not cooldowns[playerNum] or not cooldowns[playerNum][code] or cooldowns[playerNum][code]<=0 then
Interactions[code](player, amount, op=="=");
cooldowns[playerNum] = cooldowns[playerNum] or {}
cooldowns[playerNum][code] = 30;
end
end
end
the amount seems to be tied to the line
like you say, but there's also a cooldown
hmm
blissful salmon
ok... maybe than it's just random for the stuff like electricity gain when dismantle stuff or whatever...
astral dune
its possible they put a cooldown in so you can't gain all the XP from a show the first time you watch it, and have to go looking for the VHSes. I'm pretty certain I've gotten XP from a tape of a show I had already seen. I was gonna go look for more copies of the vhs to see if it was just tied to the particular tape, but this makes more sense
astral dune
does the recovery journal still get eaten if someone has the consume book mod? Got a good laugh when one of my roommates realized his skillbook had disappeared

ive been considering adding that option to my skillbook mod and using it on my server

I experienced the same behavior. I was able to watch the same vhs again for more xp after some time. Don't know if this is intended or not. But my last test with this is a while ago...
weak sierra
imba af atm with fast reading
astral dune
ye, I like it as a concept, makes the books more consistent with the magazines as well'
weak sierra
i love the RP value but oof
sour island
My other mod Named Literature makes rereading books in general return a diminishing return
weak sierra
yeah
but if u read at the speed of a second
it diminishes but never hits zero
and u can spam it
sour island
the return would be abysmal under normal circumstances
weak sierra
yeah
i dont doubt it's fine in most cases
but in my case it's a problem xD
i like your mod for the RP value of different book names and such
but the mechanics it introduces don't work for it balance-wise cuz of that
sour island
you would want it to lock to 0 forever?
weak sierra
i mean ideally it'd have a configurable "amount of time to get to full value for re-read" setting
xD
maybe also an option to change the actual amount it gives at most
astral dune
is your named literature mod the one that adds Dragonlance books? I spend a good while trying to collect the whole series in game

well, it doesn't implicate anything else

i assume it's an interaction since it isn't sorted out by now

that's an issue of client/server

Is this the best solution for implementing your own "scripts" for object definitions? Or can we use the built in script system for our own stuff?
hearty dew
Is this the best solution for implementing your own "scripts" for object definit...
For your own scripts.. yea, it wouldn't be a bad solution..
If pz's script system is exposed enough to use, that might be good as well. I haven't tried using it in this fashion, so I'm unsure. Maybe it provides some benefits I'm not taking into consideration e.g. it already has logic to merge multiple definitions (e.g. from multiple mods) together into one
astral dune
I don't think its exposed very well, I've messed with it a little to add things to the vanilla vehicles but I don't think it can be used for stuff other than items, vehicles, etc
hearty dew
With the writeModFile and readModFile apis, it will read to/from the mod file btw
astral dune
ya, I just poached the JSON api you linked, but that should work pretty good i think. After our discussion yesterday I have a pretty good idea of how I'm going to implement my data structures, but I don't want them taking up a bunch of space in my lua. This will probably do the trick, although I guess I'd have to figure out a way to sync them
hearty dew
It does a pretty good job. I use it to serialize item types selected by the user
I'd probably just stick any data structures that aren't going to be modified into its own lua file though, rather than a json file to be parsed at boot up. If the data structures are going to be changed and that change has to persist, then serializing/deserializing to json makes good sense imo
astral dune
having a mechanism to load them opens up the ability for end users to add their own fairly easily, which is a nice benefit, While also letting me keep my code clean. Having to sync additions and changes to clients is a stark downside, so I'm still undecided.
hearty dew
Ah, so you're thinking of a system where another mod can come along and add the missing gaskets, washers, etc to the graphs of engine parts
astral dune
if they want to, sure. For example one file would be a SmallBlockChevy.json or maybe more specific like 79_GMC_LM1.json, and contain the graphs we talk about containing the relationships between the parts. Someone could then later add their own engine blueprints as they like, or change mine to include other parts or whatever
I feel its a pretty elegant solution to how to model different types of engine configurations while still using a small set of standard "parts"
drifting stump
what are you trying to accomplish?
ah config files
theres a much simpler way of pulling it off
astral dune
pretty much ya, more similar to the template and vehicle scripts tbh
drifting stump
let me grab the system i made for a mod
local listings
Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(function(isNewGame)
local fileReader = getFileReader("ServerPointsListings.ini", true)
local lines = {}
local line = fileReader:readLine()
while line do
table.insert(lines, line)
line = fileReader:readLine()
end
fileReader:close()
listings = loadstring(table.concat(lines))() or {["Missing Configuration"] = {}}
end)
this was used for a server side config file
astral dune
ya thats pretty straightforward. I need a way to serialize and parse some tables though, which is why I thought to lean on the JSON api so I don't have to reinvent any wheels
drifting stump
so you also need to save a table?
astral dune
several tables of tables, ya, haha. I've paid particular attention not to have any circular references or functions in them so they can be properly serialized
drifting stump
i guess then the json lib could be used
though keep in mind globalmoddata can be used for persistent data
astral dune
data could change between reloads, no point storing it in the save file tbh
bronze yoke
trying to debug an issue with one of my mods, one file's server commands listener seems to have stopped receiving responses 5 hours into a user's session and after countless restarts it refuses to work at all, does anyone know what that could possibly mean? another file in my mod uses *exactly the same code* and has not broken like this

that sounds really familiar
the part where u used the same code on two mods
and one breaks somehow
that has happened to me
for me it was some tiny detail in the commands for one and not the other iirc
ive never heard of something like that just pissing off after 5 hours tho
bronze yoke
it's been narrowed down to an equally mysterious 'the part of code that requests the data from the server just stopped getting run for some reason'
so it wasn't directly the server commands... thank god
weak sierra
huh
bronze yoke
also not only was it 5 hours into a session, but the mod had worked perfectly for a week before that
bronze yoke
unfortunately it's a public multiplayer server so i'm reluctant to tell them to wipe
weak sierra
are u sure it's ur mod at this point?
bronze yoke
i am not confident it is my mod
weak sierra
mayhap it is not
bronze yoke
but it's pretty hard for other mods to interfere with it, it's all local (i grew out of that habit, but it was someone else's mod that i was commissioned to update)
hearty dew
'the part of code that requests the data from the server just stopped getting run for some reason'
How was this determined?
bronze yoke
put a print before it, never showed up
i've just discovered that they added a new mod right before the problems happened, so... yeah
hearty dew
Did they provide a full console.txt?
bronze yoke
yep, several
hearty dew
That's tricky.. Would it be possible to instrument the code in such a way that the user's logs could print more information of your design that would help narrowing down the issue further?
