[gaunt cargo]

Woah what

Wait wait I have the drop down menu for the water shutoff and electricity shut off

[thick karma]

Not sure what dropdown menu you mean

[gaunt cargo]

How were you able to manually override them, like specifically say when it’s going to go out?

[gaunt cargo]

On my game it would say Electricity Shutoff: 0-30 days

Other options are 0-2 months, 0-6 months, etc…

And that’s it, I’m not able to manually manage them.

[thick karma]

Really? I don't think I've modded this... I wonder if your game needs an update? Or my game... doesn't need whatever update you got?

So under Sandbox > World > Electricity Shutoff, you see a dropdown?

I know you probably just said that but I am doing a sanity check

To make sure I actually understand you

Sort of mind boggling

[gaunt cargo]

Yes, when I go into my settings on Sandbox for a singleplayer world, I get the drop down menu that says 0-30 days, etc…

[thick karma]

Ohhhhhhhhh

[gaunt cargo]

Is it only available setting for Multiplayer servers or something?

[thick karma]

My screenshot is Multiplayer

[gaunt cargo]

Ah

[thick karma]

That's so fuckin weird they do it differently

And the opposite of smart

Whatever that is

Idr

[gaunt cargo]

Check on a singleplayer

[thick karma]

But the opposite of smart

[gaunt cargo]

Ik

[thick karma]

I am actually getting sucked into a game now... but you can check Host settings under Multiplayer to confirm what I'm guessing here

[gaunt cargo]

I’m on my bed waiting to sleep, ‘cause I gotta wake up at 4:00

[thick karma]

haha word

[gaunt cargo]

But, that’s weird if that IS the way it works

Honestly

[thick karma]

Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've seen in this game

[gaunt cargo]

Besides, my computer is in my backpack for the trip, so…

[thick karma]

Lot of very questionable organizational decisions were made in programming PZ

[gaunt cargo]

Where can we put suggestions like these?

[thick karma]

Well first you take off your pants...

[gaunt cargo]

Yeah… shame, honestly.

[gaunt cargo]

Okay

[thick karma]

I mean they have a suggestions forum, I made a suggestion there once... 3 months later my suggestion is a mod I made and they haven't added my request

[gaunt cargo]

I wouldn’t mind it if this was a mod

Singleplayer be able to select WHEN the water goes out.
Kind of annoying it’s an option only for MP.

[thick karma]

I might be able to find a way but I'm not sure. I would have to inspect that table and how its data gets used.

In the meantime, you could always host multiplayer... nobody can join if you don't invite them

And nobody sees your server if it isn't added by IP to their list (or public dedicated).

[gaunt cargo]

True, but I can escape death whenever I want, and I know my ass is gonna want to, so…

[thick karma]

Wdym by escape death whenever you want?

[gaunt cargo]

God mode

[thick karma]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[gaunt cargo]

Become Invisible

[thick karma]

Install my Jumper mod haha

Teleport to safety if stuff gets hectic.

[gaunt cargo]

Lmao

[thick karma]

Not invincible but I mean if you can't activate a context menu before they eat you, you probably couldn't activate God mode in time either.

[abstract wave]

I've got a few TV-Shows that I thought were pretty fun to make, took me ages back then, though.. here's an example episode:

[img=music] ... CRAZY ... [img=music]
[img=music] ... CARL ... [img=music]
The one-stop chop-shop!
Welcome back to Crazy Carl! Your one and only mechanic TV show!
Today we'll be talking about how to swap your headlights!
First, find your trusty screwdriver! I call mine.. Trusted screwdriver.
*Beer Can Opening*
Next, pop the hood and simply screw each bulb till they are out, simple!
*Screwdriver Sounds*
Now.. screw in the new ones, or old, doesn't matter, this is a demonstration!
But, remember, only do this once per day on the same car, everything else would be silly!
You can also change the battery and radio with the very same screwdriver
Doing so will channel your inner mechanic in no time!
But you don't have to stop here, oh no.
Just go to your neighbor and do it again on his car! HAHA!
Next time we'll look into changing your tires!
[img=music] ... CRAZY ... [img=music]
[img=music] ... CARL ... [img=music]

I was playing around with Chatgpt though, and asked it to come up with an episode based on a few examples, and it came up with this.

[img=music] ... CRAZY ... [img=music]
[img=music] ... CARL ... [img=music]
The one-stop chop-shop!
Welcome back to Crazy Carl! Your one and only mechanic TV show!
Today we'll be talking about how to fix a car that's making strange noises.
First things first, grab a wrench, a hammer, and some duct tape.
Hammering and Wrenching Sounds
If the car is making a grinding noise, simply hit it with the hammer until the noise stops.
If it's making a squealing noise, wrap some duct tape around the offending part.
And voila, problem solved!
But wait, there's more! If your car is completely broken down, simply push it off a cliff and buy a new one.
It's the Crazy Carl way!
Next time, we'll be talking about how to give your car a stylish paint job using a can of spray paint and a lawnmower.
[img=music] ... CRAZY ... [img=music]
[img=music] ... CARL ... [img=music]

.. scary, but funny. Thought i'd share.

[gaunt cargo]

But yeah, a Water and Electricity shutoff setting for SP as a mod or official would be greay

[gaunt cargo]

I’ve gotten good at it

[thick karma]

Then you would also get good at activating teleport via context menu 😉

It's literally a right-click away at all times

[gaunt cargo]

True

[thick karma]

Not saying you can't activate God mode fast... just saying, however fast you can be, you can probably activate Jumper faster.

[ancient grail]

Single player you can only custom sandbox once
If u play local host then you would have had the ability to do so

Imean anytime ubcan configure it

[thick karma]

Jumper lets you save TP locations by name and category to your context menu for quickly teleporting all over the map

@gaunt cargo

FYI

[gaunt cargo]

Wdym?

[thick karma]

You can also bring buddies if you ever do decide to play online

[ancient grail]

@thick karma wanna play

[gaunt cargo]

True

[ancient grail]

?

[thick karma]

@ancient grail Yes but I am about to play DKO with a friend for awhile.

[gaunt cargo]

A mod for SP like that would still be fine. Anyway, Happy New Year and goodnight!

[sour island]

I made a thing

[ancient grail]

Theres a button that says host
If u do that then u would have a locally hosted server
That will let u configure sandbox anytime. For sp u cant

[ancient grail]

What is it

[gaunt cargo]

I see what you mean, I see

[ancient grail]

Sure let me know

[gaunt cargo]

That’s wholesome

[sour island]

button for the debug tool set

got side tracked again cause of skill recovery journal

but I finished this guy - thought he came out great

[ancient grail]

it does , it looks awsome

useful for the community mod youre doing too

anyways... anyone know which lua file contains the vehicle spawn

imean the auto world spawn thing

[slender halo]

Hello, I want to create a poster mod, but I don't know what to do with the .pack and .tiles files, I don't understand English much so I couldn't find a guide, if you could help me I would be very grateful.

I want to create something similar to this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2401339485&searchtext=posters

[ancient grail]

you need to learn how to make tiles

its better if you ask #mapping

[slender halo]

okay, thanks.

[hot patrol]

Are there any mods to remove the poison symbol on food? I notice there is a sandbox option for water but nothing else

[ancient grail]

#mod_support

[drifting ore]

question... i know noobish but maybe can help me understand overall what makes the most sense. if function is global, it would make sense for me to just use that global function instead of creating a local function that does the exact same thing, right?

or will it still be faster or more efficient to just use a local function anyways pretty much no matter what

[jagged ingot]

Based on your design, use the global one. It isn't more or less efficient performance-wise.

[drifting ore]

that was my main concern so ty

in my case just items

[jagged ingot]

I'd avoid poisoning the global table when planning code.

[drifting ore]

yea someone gave me the ole proper etiquette on not using globals or overwriting

but as long as i require another script. i can utilize that local function, correct?

sorry for such basic question also. this is my last 🙂

[jagged ingot]

local will be isolated to a visibility scope.

[drifting ore]

oh

[jagged ingot]

You can reference by requiring either the file or the table it is inside via module require assignment.

[drifting stump]

you can bring globals to the local space

[drifting ore]

awesome thank you.

i see

[jagged ingot]

(Is trying to push people in here towards using modules)

[drifting stump]

modules are the way

[drifting ore]

makes sense to me

why would people not utilize it in the first place?

[drifting stump]

skill issue for lack of better term

[drifting ore]

i see lol im familiar with it in the workplace 😛

damn so fast of responses. thank you again

[jagged ingot]

PIpeWrench operates entirely on modules.

[drifting ore]

working on making a craftable lightsiwtch tile for my first real mod 🙂

i looked at it but became overwhelmed as a newer person to coding

i saw you chatting about it last week or so and was interested. but once i have the basics down of a few languages i should be able to absorb the typescript thing

[jagged ingot]

Don't worry: I'm a broken record here.

[drifting ore]

lololl

[jagged ingot]

Not many people know that they have that option. 🙂

[lusty marsh]

damn this error has hands

[sour island]

Anyone familiar with Star's fix view XP mod - 'When you see "+75%", that actually means "x4" i.e. "+300%".' What does he mean by this?

[ancient grail]

where is star anyways . his no longer active here

[bronze yoke]

it's in reference to xp being gained at 25% by default

25%+75% = 100%, which is 4x the default... it's a dreadfully misleading part of the ui

[sour island]

ah - but his UI displays ... 'x 6.64' which I think is incorrectmore confusing?

6.64 get's displayed for 1.66 or 3+ starting skill (125% I think on the vanilla UI)

1.66/.25 = 6.64

Idk maybe I'm tired - been getting comments all day with people doing math lol

[jagged ingot]

Numbers. Lots of them.

Hey @sour island Want to see some simple rain FX API I rewrote recently?

[winter thunder]

When using set/getHunger(), would something like
player:setHunger(player:getHunger() + 0.5)

make the player hungrier, or less hungry?

[jagged ingot]

It's a drag-n-drop mod.

[sour island]

I saw Skiz's title scene using it - looks great

Is it the same texture as vanilla?

[jagged ingot]

No. I render this entirely from scratch in realtime.

[sour island]

😮

[jagged ingot]

My demo shows the full rotation of it.

It's a particle emitter technically..

It has settings like spread, angle (radians), color, alpha, drawing box, etc.

I can toss it in here if you want to check it out. 🙂

[sharp dome]

Does anyone know the mod where you can upgrade backpacks, in the crafting menu you have an option to craft water slot, weapon slot, bedroll slot

[jagged ingot]

I'm thinking of expanding on it to include polygon bounds and modularity so people can write their own physics.

[sharp dome]

I used to have it but forgot the name of it after I reset my subscribed

[winter thunder]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2754567348&searchtext=attachment

Noirs attachments

[sharp dome]

Thanks

[winter thunder]

np

[sharp dome]

I know it wasn't authenticZ or attach weapons to back

[jagged ingot]

@sour island

[sharp dome]

Knew**

[jagged ingot]

It's funny to see it working with particles live with PZ running.

[winter thunder]

but anyone know the answer to this? all the stat and bodydamage values are goofy 😭

Because I am not sure if hunger is keeping track of how hungry the character is, or if it is how full they are, by default -

stat by default is set to public float hunger = 0.0F;

[jagged ingot]

Huh.. They're playing Daft Punk in the Starbucks I'm at.

I need to take a look and see if I can exploit some methods in the Texture class with ISUI render code.

[dim hill]

smdh @sour island being so damn active updating his mods making me have to restart my server

https://giphy.com/gifs/ineedthisforreactions-table-flip-tableflip-uKT0MWezNGewE

||thank you for the updates :D||

[sour island]

Np, say, did you have a bug where the character kept saying 'nothing to add' over and over?

[dim hill]

Tbh I almost never die so..

[jagged ingot]

Haha

[dim hill]

I don't actually get to test much 😂

Not a flex, I just play very carefully hahaha

[jagged ingot]

Maybe my reload script could be useful.

[dim hill]

excuse me??

giv now

[jagged ingot]

It's more for server-exclusive content buuuuut yeah.

[dim hill]

GIV

[jagged ingot]

It has that side-effect / feature.

[dim hill]

oh lol

I wonder if there's a mod that automatically restarts the server occasionally

[jagged ingot]

It's a dynamic loader that handles server-side scripts which can be a part of a mod's code.

[jagged ingot]

Scripts.

Those exist.

People here will know em. I don't.

[dim hill]

I'm not familiar

[sour island]

I know a guy, if you dont mind me passing your name to him

[jagged ingot]

When I get a Workshop item popular again, I'm going to schedule updates to be at a very specific time a week.

[ancient grail]

chuck, i just updated the container unlock and turned it into time action. it wasnt that hard after all. all this time i was afraid of metatables

[sour island]

👍

There's a timedAction API although I never used it

[ancient grail]

where?

i think i might have seen that but i guess it confused me even more that time lol

[sour island]

I don't see it appear on workshop - either way timed actions aren't that hard to work with

[jagged ingot]

hahahahahaha

So today in JS I just wrote local var = .. and didn't notice.

Yesterday morning I typed this instead of self in Lua.

[winter thunder]

Do it at like 1am est, that way it’s early enough that European server admins aren’t up yet but late enough that North American server admins are going to sleep 👹

[jagged ingot]

I'd like to know the sweet spot time to do it.

It'd be nice to have a conformity on that time.

We all know how ugly servers get when updates happen at random times.

[sour island]

@faint jewel

hmm

what's the iso object

seems to be outside 🤔

[lusty marsh]

Are there any errors that wouldn't produce an error message? like on the java side or something like that?

[faint jewel]

ooooh wassat?

[sour island]

fixing up AUD

made the modData tool have a submenu instead

added cars + more descriptive option names

[faint jewel]

and does it show vehicluar mod data?

[sour island]

should

[faint jewel]

I can test if need be?

[sour island]

the isoObjects were just part of the map I guess lol

its the grime

[bronze yoke]

yeah, there's usually a couple on every square

[sour island]

I was using custom name for furniture

as the spritenames can be a bit messy

[sour island]

sure I can throw it on the repo

https://github.com/ChuckTheSheep/pz-community-patch

obviously, heavily WIP

for now I'm leaving the debug tools as a sub mod

My plan is to refactor the way buttons are handled for the tools to make adding more easier

[ancient grail]

how did you make the context appear first on top before the rest of the default ones

[sour island]

addOptionTop(

there's also one to add after or before another option by name

[ancient grail]

@thick karma he knows how to make it appear on top

[sour island]

media/lua/client/ISUI/ISContextMenu.lua has all of them

[ancient grail]

this is exactly what i did too.. i used the getType as part of the context name

[sour island]

?

[bronze yoke]

you can also give an index or use the prefill events

[sour island]

and add suboptions

[bronze yoke]

giving an index is a bit naive though unless you're grabbing it from something

[ancient grail]

or was it name

not sure any more

[sour island]

Just realized I don't have bodies showing up

[ancient grail]

yep getType()

[sour island]

probably need to add a 'if else' option

that'd return their object type in terms of wall/floor etc

or their sprite's type

[faint jewel]

how do you do a check if another mod is installed?

do what?

[sour island]

to check if another mod is active?

[faint jewel]

okay so how do i check if 10yl is loaded?

[sour island]

you use it's modID and getactiveMods

[bronze yoke]

if getActivatedMods():contains('ModId') then is the most simple way to do this

[sour island]

Yes, my example was part of my 'load these other mods first' thing

Use what he wrote instead

[ancient grail]

Mod ID: 10YL_ALL
Mod ID: 10YL_HIGH
Mod ID: 10YL_LOW
Mod ID: 10YL_MAPS
Mod ID: 10YL_MEDIUM
Mod ID: 10YL_VH

[sour island]

You'll need to do all of them

[ancient grail]

here are the mod ids so you would have to or or or or

[sour island]

that's a pain lol

[ancient grail]

if getActivatedMods():contains('10YL_ALL') then print('skizot is king of 10 yrs later all') end
elseif getActivatedMods():contains('10YL_HIGH')  then print('skizot is king of 10 yrs later high') end

[bronze yoke]

might just be faster to use a table and a loop at that point

[thick karma]

Omg this is clutch info ty Chuck

[ancient grail]

yep

[sour island]

bodies are apart of a gridsquare's getMovingObjects right?

[ancient grail]

yes

getStaticMovingObjects

                    elseif self.itemType:isSelected(2) then
                        for i=0, sq:getStaticMovingObjects():size()-1 do
                            if instanceof(sq:getStaticMovingObjects():get(i), "IsoDeadBody") then
                                local item = sq:getStaticMovingObjects():get(i)
                                table.insert(itemBuffer, { it = item, square = sq })
                            end
                        end
                    end

[sour island]

oh static

there's a get staticMovingobjects and getDeadBodys

odd

[ancient grail]

    if not body and v:getSquare() and v:getSquare():getDeadBody() then
        body = v:getSquare():getDeadBody();
    end

    if instanceof(v, "IsoDeadBody") then
        body = v;
    end

weird

[sour island]

?

[ancient grail]

ISWorldObjectContextMenu

[sour island]

yeah that returns the first

adds a s at the end it returns a list

[ancient grail]

but why wont it return body iny first place

[faint jewel]

WHAT THE SHIT. why so damned many?!

[ancient grail]

options?

ask the author

[eternal garnet]

Always pays to have the option

[faint jewel]

ugh. but adding 10yl to my mower is rough

[eternal garnet]

oof

https://tenor.com/view/mower-flying-lawn-mower-bye-fly-goodbye-gif-4934747

[faint jewel]

i DO Plan to make a version of the mower that is a push mower.

one day in the FAR FAR future.

[winter thunder]

Anyone know if it is possible to modify the speed of reading?

[late hound]

Come on, @faint jewel, we NEED to reality sim some mroe

[faint jewel]

sigh.

[sour island]

deadbodys copy the player's modData 😮

https://tenor.com/view/not-bad-whatever-you-say-what-can-i-say-gif-20270454

[winter thunder]

Other than that- Currently struggling to find out if I can change the players movement speed, combat speed, general speeds of timed action completion, stuff like that

I have found variables in the java that seem to change some of those things, but none of which are very clearly defined :(

[sour island]

you can hijack timed actions easily as it's in Lua

[winter thunder]

Word, I figured as much. Just wasnt certain, I havent looked into the timed actions aspect much. Still working on the other variables

[sour island]

Just make sure you overwrite properly

[bronze yoke]

if you plan to touch reading, be ready for incompatibilities with a million different mods you've never heard of before

[sour island]

https://tenor.com/view/sadcat-gif-25701972

CDDA hardoverwrites vanilla functions

added it it my 'please stop' list

require "TimedActions/ISReadABook"

local crossRefMods = {
    ["CatsWalkWhileReadMod"]="ReadFasterWhenSitting",
    ["CatsReadMod"]="ReadFasterWhenSitting",
    ["CatsReadMod(slower)"]="ReadFasterWhenSitting",
    ["SnakeUtilsPack"]="tooltip",
    ["nicocokoSpeedReading"]="TimedActions/NSRReadABook",
    ["CDDAReading"]="TimedActions/ISReadABook",
}
local loadedModIDs = {}
local activeModIDs = getActivatedMods()
for i=1, activeModIDs:size() do
    local modID = activeModIDs:get(i-1)
    if crossRefMods[modID] and not loadedModIDs[modID] then
        require (crossRefMods[modID])
        loadedModIDs[modID] = true
    end
end

[winter thunder]

yeah- I just wasnt sure if there was any sort of core variable I could interact with

[bronze yoke]

my mod actually worked with cdda except that it also *removes* functions and one of mine called one of the vanilla ones

[sour island]

it removes parts of the timed action?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, a couple functions related to the xp boost and stuff

[sour island]

oooh yeah

that's literally the entire mod

[bronze yoke]

they aren't needed anymore of course but that was an annoying one

[faint jewel]

local function 10ylRunning()
    if getActivatedMods():contains('10YL_HIGH')  then 
        print('10YL_HIGH is enabled.')
        return true;
    elseif getActivatedMods():contains('10YL_MEDIUM')  then 
        print('10YL_MEDIUM is enabled.')
        return true;        
    elseif getActivatedMods():contains('10YL_LOW')  then 
        print('10YL_LOW is enabled.')
        return true;
    else
        return false;
    end
end
``` that should do it for a boolean check right?

[bronze yoke]

function name can't start with a number

[faint jewel]

local function TylRunning()

😛

[sour island]

local function bIs10YLActive()
    local activeMods = getActivatedMods()
    return activeMods:contains('10YL_HIGH') or activeMods:contains('10YL_MEDIUM') or activeMods():contains('10YL_LOW') or false
end

[faint jewel]

you little code monkies you.

[sour island]

you could also for loop

return autobreaks (?)

local function bIs10YLActive()
    local activeMods = getActivatedMods()
    local modIDs = {"10YL_HIGH","10YL_MEDIUM","10YL_LOW"}

    for _,mod in pairs(modIDs) do
        if activeMods:contains(mod) then
            return true
        end
    end
    
    return false
end

I prefer keeping stuff in lists so I can change it more easily later

[bronze yoke]

yeah that's how i'd do it

just writing out a bunch of ors/an if tree can be kind of fatiguing

[autumn garnet]

Hey ! No just High, Medium or low ^^

[sour island]

Hey Dane, long time no see!

[autumn garnet]

I gave versions rather than the sandbox options because there were some problems with the servers, the sandbox options were only taken into account on a cell or I don't know what weird operation it was

Hey ! Happy new year 😄

the version with 10YL_Maps is to activate the maps 10 years later with unique buildings, more trees etc because I did not randomly generate the trees as with the overlays, I did the mapping by hand thanks on the reverse of the card by Alree

The 10YL_vehicles version allows to have a 100% spawnrate for vehicles creating traffic jams and the angle of the vehicles is random

[sour island]

local modDataContextClasses ={
    ["IsoDeadBody"] = function(object) return object:getOutfitName() end,
    ["IsoPlayer"] = function(object) return object:getUsername(true) end,
    ["IsoZombie"] = function(object) return object:getOutfitName() end,
    ["BaseVehicle"] = function(object) return object:getScript():getName() end,
}


local function fillModDataContextMenu(array,contextMenu)
    for i=0,array:size()-1 do
        local object = array:get(i)
        local optionAdded = false
        for type,func in pairs(modDataContextClasses) do
            if instanceof(object, type) then
                local optionName = func(object)
                if optionName then optionName = ": "..optionName end
                contextMenu:addOption(type..(optionName or ""), object, showModData)
                optionAdded = true
            end
        end

        if not optionAdded then contextMenu:addOption(tostring(object:getClass()), object, showModData) end
    end
end

tried a new technique

[bronze yoke]

ooh that's clever

[sour island]

a little wasteful as StaticMoving vs Moving don't overlap but I hate copy pasting

[faint jewel]

damn, that SHOULD work.

                    if GrassBush:getProperties() and GrassBush:getProperties():Is(IsoFlagType.canBeCut) then
                        --print("Bush!")
                        square:transmitRemoveItemFromSquare(GrassBush)
                        if not GrassBush:getModData().soundbreak then
                            GrassBush:getModData().soundbreak = 1
                            vehicle:playSound("VehicleHitTree")
                            Blade:setCondition(BladeHealth - HitDmg)
                        end                                
                    end

[winter thunder]

Anyone know if the variables in defines.lua (the ZomboidGlobals) are updated onTick?

[faint jewel]

so i've made that mower that will end the world!

[sour island]

good

that'll show that damn grass

[winter thunder]

good. Yes.

as it should be

[drifting ore]

Can anyone help me please? I have a model of a gun and a sound for it, I need to change the default m4 to the one I chose

[winter thunder]

You can use a lua file to swap the model and sound of the base m4 to yours

[drifting ore]

Is it that simple? Thank you so much

Need it for my new video

[drifting ore]

Is it a grass cutter?

[faint jewel]

updating my mower to work with 10yl

fixed it. yay!

the mower will now mow 10yl grass

[autumn garnet]

10YL Killer haha

Good job 😄

[drifting ore]

[faint jewel]

i's been the biggest ask for the mower.

[drifting ore]

where do I find models files in the game folder?

[faint jewel]

[rancid tendon]

option MFTEOTWC.stackQuantity
{
  type = integer,
  min = 10,
  max = 25,
  default = 5,
  page = MFTEOTWC,
  translation = MFTEOTWC_stackQuantity,
}```

does anyone see anything wrong with this?

for some reason having this sandbox setting in my mod causes a crash to desktop when loading lua but im staring at it and cant figure out what might be wrong with it

the implementation of it also looks just fine as far as i can tell; i have it implemented literally identically to two other perfectly functional implementations of the same setting and code for exactly the same purpose

but its just this specific one that is breaking and i cannot find a fucking difference

for instance

    local currentItemList = {}
    for i=1,#itemList do
        currentItemList[i] = itemList[i]
    end

    for i = 1,1 * SandboxVars.MFTEOTWC.stackQuantity do -- change the second number to how many you want
        local chosenItem = table.remove(currentItemList, ZombRand(#currentItemList)+1)
        player:getInventory():AddItem(chosenItem)
    end
end```

```Recipe.OnCreate.ItemStackVinyl = function(items, result, player)

    local currentItemList = {}
    for i=1,#itemList do
        currentItemList[i] = itemList[i]
    end

    for i = 1,1 * SandboxVars.MFTEOTWC.stackQuantity do -- change the second number to how many you want
        local chosenItem = table.remove(currentItemList, ZombRand(#currentItemList)+1)
        player:getInventory():AddItem(chosenItem)
    end
end```

here's where it's implemented

    local currentItemList = {}
    for i=1,#itemList do
        currentItemList[i] = itemList[i]
    end

    for i = 1,1 * SandboxVars.MFTEOTWC.cacheQuantity do -- change the second number to how many you want
        local chosenItem = table.remove(currentItemList, ZombRand(#currentItemList)+1)
        player:getInventory():AddItem(chosenItem)
    end
end```

and here's an identical, functioning version that works just fine

[bronze yoke]

maybe a non-unicode character snuck in

[rancid tendon]

i copied the entire thing directly from the functioning ones

except for typing in the few characters required to change it from cache to stack in the sandbox settings and in here

and i dont see a space where a non-unicode character could be there

{
  type = integer,
  min = 5,
  max = 100,
  default = 50,
  page = MFTEOTWC,
  translation = MFTEOTWC_cacheQuantity,
}```

heres the functioning sandbox option as well

... oh mygod.

no i did not.

i see what it is. ive been looking at text all day nonstop and i didnt even see

min = 10,
max = 25,
default = 5,

there is. a problem here.

im the dumbest person on earth

[bronze yoke]

😔

it's always something silly like that

[winter thunder]

So- does anyone know if the rates of certain effects are changed by the length of a day?

[bronze yoke]

that's very vague!

[winter thunder]

Like hunger

Sorry

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[winter thunder]

LMFAO

And shit... Is there an easy way to set that as a multiplier for some stuff?

Like- I am setting effects to happen on every minute to tweak player stats, but I want to make sure that the values still work for different game speeds

[thick karma]

Yes. albion knows.

[winter thunder]

I calculated the rates using the global definitions for the rates, but I think they run on tick... So without knowing the relative speed of the game, I can only check them based on a set value of game time length

[thick karma]

Given that the stats aren't even normalized the same way... my suspicion is that it probably depends on the stat

But idk

[winter thunder]

--[[
Stat max values:
    Hunger = 0-1
        - Defaults to 0.0
        - Base     = Increases @ 0.03 / min irl
        - Exercise = Increases @ 0.07 / min irl

    Thirst = 0-1
        - Defaults to 0.0
        - Reduced @ 0.0288 / min irl

    Endurance = 0-1
        - Defaults to 1.0
        - Running    = Decreases @ 0.1872 / min irl

    Fatigue = 0-1

    Stress = 0-1

        - Decreases @ 0.108 / min irl

    Boredom = 0-100
        - Defaults to 0.0
        - Increases @ 3.6 / min irl
        - Decreases @ 138.6 / min irl

    Unhappiness = 0-100
        - Defaults to 0.0
        - Increases @ 1.8 / min irl

    Temperature = 30.0 C - 41.0 C
]]--

3,600 ticks / minute. So assuming a 2 hour length of day these are the rates

😭

[bronze yoke]

java seems to usually use this:

... * GameTime.instance.getMultiplier() * GameTime.instance.getDeltaMinutesPerDay()

[winter thunder]

So they multiply x by (multiplier * irl mins per day) ?

Damn. Where do you see that? So I can check out the implementation

Just found these

Lmfao

[bronze yoke]

thank you project zomboid

[winter thunder]

Super happy this is hard coded

[bronze yoke]

i've been endlessly curious about why that second one exists

[winter thunder]

It seriously takes longer to type out

im having trouble joining my friend

we have all the same mods

but when i try to join it says mod (mod template not installed) even though we have mod template

[winter thunder]

Can I add parameters to the functions in my lua events?

Like- If the function I am calling can take a variable, could I do event.---.add.exampleFunction(x)?

[fast galleon]

opt a) event.---.Add(function()myfunction(var)end)?
opt b) local var; event.---.Add(myfunction)?

I usually keep anything I'll need in a local var and check that in the function. You can't remove the function if you add it like in opt a.

[winter thunder]

I see what you mean

I basically just want to have the ability to negate my function lol. That way I can have the same function run to do the opposite effect

But its all good, I know a way around it i think

[ancient grail]

I would just do the whole function inside if possible.

event.someevent.Add(function() print("do the whole function here") end)

    getGameTime():setNight(0)
    getGameTime():setNightTint(0)

OnTick and OnPostUIDraw and got nothin, despite tracking the variables increasing from 0 to 1 as night reaches its darkest.

[fast galleon]

what is this for?
btw, changing climate controls works best from admin settings, SP seems bugged or something

[thick karma]

Hallucinogenic effects

Real-time modification of perceptions of the player that contradict server reality.

Brandon is working on a drug mod of sorts.

@fast galleon

[fast galleon]

ah, you probably don't want climate controls then, but something like the search effects

[thick karma]

I looked at that as well... He is aware of that option but for reasons I haven't requested he still seems interested in night strength management, which I am assuming from context is related to the same goals he's been pursuing.

Tbh I am also interested in night strength management separately

I would like to greatly reduce darkness at night as part of a mod

Without any weird nightvision effect

I would also like to be able to reduce darkness of locations that are out of line-of-sight (but visited before).

[fast galleon]

I second that, would be nice to have white nights in summer

[thick karma]

Yeah I have dumped some hours already trying to find something

There are a couple things in ClimateManager that very slightly let me adjust darkness levels but I can't seem to access the key that primarily determines just how dark things get overall at night

And I have no idea where to find the code that darkens the unseen.

[fast galleon]

this.setExposed(ClimateMoon.class);

[thick karma]

ClimateMoon you think??

Weird name...

I noticed it but didn't think it sounded right

Will read it more closely

Eh https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/iso/weather/ClimateMoon.html

Not sure about that

[fast galleon]

I would imagine it's what's affecting night strength

[thick karma]

Seems to explicitly control phases of the moon

May influence night strength but it's not the primary thing

Very small class

This is what I've been exploring with very minor successes: https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/iso/weather/ClimateManager.html

But so many options, some accessed uniquely

taking time to try things

[ancient grail]

Ye fenris did a great job. The guide Helped build the mod community

[fast galleon]

seems like night is multiplied by moon phase

and affecting night is easier than the moon

the RenderSettings seems to be per player, it's where I saw the multiply. gotta go

• I guess it's all about the climate, so test with climate debug tools as mentioned earlier.

[drifting stump]

parameters are passed when the event is triggered

when you add a function to an event you are simply registering it to run when triggered

all the parameters passed on the trigger will go to that function

[agile vigil]

Am I not understanding how require works in .lua?

I have a file MutiesDiary.lua in lua/client/ and another file MutieDiaryExperienceTracking.lua in the same directory.

I use require "MutiesDiary" at the top of the second file, but it somehow doesn't get respected, and ends up loading MutiesDiaryExperienceTracking first. 😦

[fast galleon]

if the require fails, it prints a message in logs. Since they are both in client and not in a subdirectory you should focus on spelling.

[thick karma]

MutieDiaryExperienceTracker loads before MutiesDiary because of the s after Mutie

Wait I just noticed you wrote it two ways

Which way is it? Muties or MutieDiary?

P sure MutieDiary would load before MutiesAnthing fwiw so a subtle difference could explain it

[agile vigil]

MutiesDiary, every time, it's not the spelling. I just seem to have a bug in MutiesDiary.

[sour island]

Is it directly in /client/ or is there a folder after?

Require needs to include folders after client/server/shared/

[agile vigil]

It's directly in client.

I have a bug in MutiesDiary, unrelated to require.

And fixed, I had a trailing ; after a function name and that caused issues. Woopsie.

I wish Lua syntax errors automatically opened the debug ui D:

[drifting ore]

when i set a recipe to NeedToBeLearn:true people without reading the recipe still have access too it

[solid dawn]

I have a question folks. Is it possible to make spawn points exclusive to a trait? I'm running my own server and next season I want to have 3 groups of Settlers, Raiders and Nomads. Each of them will have a custom Faction HQ (I will create a custom map for this) and I want people to be only able to spawn there if they have the appropiate Settler/Raider/Nomad trait selected

I also want these traits to unlock custom clothing in the character creation and give an experience boost to certain skills (but no skill points only the boost). I know you can do this with occupations but is it also possible with traits?

[molten cobalt]

Would that be like getDawn() ?

Would I need to somehow store that info it gets to use it in the rest of my code so it can be the reference point for the triggering of the effect?

[drifting ore]

nvm. i just wasnt putting a , at the end of the line

[fast galleon]

getClimateManager():getSeason():getDawn()
I use it like that, since it's from season I think it's good probably to update it once a day if you don't want to get the value every time

[agile vigil]

I'll have to make a third-party patch to the Night Combat XP mod that does this.

[fast galleon]

hm, wonder how often I should update this too. All it does is change an icon in the UI.

[agile vigil]

Could set it to the every 10 minutes event?

[winged musk]

hey does anyone here do commissions for clothing mods?

If this is possible I would also like to know how hard/ time intensive it is (I work in IT so I have coding experience and I worked in media design before so I can create my own artworks). If its very time intensive I would like to commission this if someone is interested

[fast galleon]

I'd say medium, it's not as easy adding an extra script and not something new.

[vast veldt]

Hi, does anyone know if the API offers any persistent, globally unique ID for a player at the server side? I've tried getPlayerNum() and getOnlineID() but they appear to return values that aren't unique amongst the players (i.e. two players can have the same value).

[sour island]

There's steamID but if you mean unique to the specific character (as in per life) you can assign a modData value for reference

[vast veldt]

Thank you - Whilst I do have the steam ID, currently I have to get this from the client side using getCurrentUserSteamID(), so I'd be completely trusting the client with providing this value accurately... more challenging is that the Steam ID is too long for the LUA number type, so it loses precision (which means two players could have the same value, if the Steam IDs were similar up to around the last 3 digits).

The value doesn't need to be per life though, just per user.

[sturdy salmon]

My first mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911373802

Thanks @bronze yoke for the help / advice.

[drifting stump]

then use the username

two players cant have the same because well its a server account

[vast veldt]

Yeah, if username is the only thing that's confidently unique, I'll base it around this - I was looking for a numeric type as the table I'm keeping state in for each player is numerically indexed (and needs to be for some of the later functions that work on it to operate correctly), but I can create a map from username to my own persistent index and use this - was just wondering if anything was already provided that behaved like this save re-inventing the wheel / duplicating functionality if it's already there.

[drifting stump]

weird and youre probably not taking advantage of tables but you could use sqlid

[vast veldt]

Is this the ID from the player database? I was just looking into how I might read from that (Something like https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/network/DBResult.html ?), if you happened to have a pointer on how to get that, it would be very useful!

[drifting stump]

you shouldnt need to use the db and dont think that class is exposed to lua

[ancient grail]

why isnt username enough?

what exacly are you trying to achieve?

[vast veldt]

The table I'm updating requires a unique index for each player - later behaviour requires that the index is numeric. If username is the only value that behaves like this (persistent and unique to a player), I'll map a map between username and index value, was just hoping the server had a unique numeric value for each player to hand.

i.e. PlayerNum / OnlineID felt like they might be this but they didn't seem to actually be unique amongst the players when testing.

[drifting stump]

playernum is for splitscreen

[vast veldt]

Aha that's really useful to know, ty

[drifting stump]

and why are you indexing numerically

you could map it to username

[vast veldt]

The LUA table is later converted into XML - the XML processor determines the tag structure based on the key type, so if it's not numeric, it will use the actual key name in the XML tag, which is undesirable. I could rewrite the XML processor, but it works really well otherwise so I'd prefer not to add a workaround there, but preserve the numeric keys upstream in the player data.

[vast veldt]

This is what I'm currently thinking - basically just store a map of usernames to indexes that I assign myself.

[ancient grail]

then just use moddata or global moddata and give em your own serialcode

[vast veldt]

I've not yet used moddata, but assume it is somewhere I can attach persistent values/data to players and/or other objects?

[bronze yoke]

sqlid is the kind of thing you're looking for

[vast veldt]

Any hints on how to access it? I've never been able to read properties off the java objects (always have to use a method call), I see sqlID on the IsoPlayer object.

So long as it's numeric, and doesn't get re-used amongst players, it'll do what I need.

[drifting stump]

you need to use reflection but someone mentioned it only works in debug mode

[bronze yoke]

iirc setting only works in debug

[drifting stump]

im barely ever out of debug so not sure on the behavior

[sour island]

you can read but not write afaik

[vast veldt]

Read should be sufficient for what I need, though I've not performed reflection in this environment before, anyone have an idea how it's performed?

[sour island]

#mod_development message

[drifting stump]

well then youre good getting the sqlid though i would still do a custom mapping for better performance

you have to go through all the fields until you find the one youre looking for

[sour island]

Oh yeah for sure - might as well dump it into modData after

I kind of wish the hardware information was more accessible as a means to create a hardwareID

[drifting stump]

mapping name to id is just faster than iterating through fields

also keep in mind modData attached to a player is local and does not get synced

[neon bronze]

How can you check if an item is stackable or not? I tried to call CanStack() but it breaks on that call

[nocturne dagger]

is there any reason to why this happens?

editing the file directory in file explorer to models_X/Vehicles/Vehicles_96CivicSi doesn't change much

[fast galleon]

@neon bronze
what is an example of stackable obj?

[fast galleon]

no name for model?

[neon bronze]

Like shells and such

[neon bronze]

But i looked into the java code and CanStack just always return false

[nocturne dagger]

oh

do i have to put it like this

[fast galleon]

ah, never added a vehicle myself

tried it before and i had the same problem

i think this is actually the solution to this

thank god you mentioned it or else i would've gone crazy

IT WORKSSS

seems like parts of old code

I've been reviewing https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Event to see if I can find an event that appears on the server side for when a player connects and disconnects - the events OnConnected / OnDisconnect don't seem to fire at the server side however. Are there any events that might do so?

[drifting ore]

Hi guys, sorry if I'm not allowed to ask this here, what do we do to see which lua events get triggered upon doing a certain action? Like, I'm trying to find out how to get an event when you open a container

[dull moss]

I think you need ISOpenContainerTimedAction.lua, in \Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\client\TimedActions

[drifting stump]

unfortunately not

[dull moss]

am I right in my understanding that

    if player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite") then
        modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = true;
    end
    modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite or false;

would net same result as

modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite or player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite");

should work, right?

[agile vigil]

I also have a pair of methods for getting values out of a class field if you want something ready-made.

function getClassFieldByName(obj, name)
    for i = 0, getNumClassFields(obj) - 1 do
        ---@type Field
        local field = getClassField(obj, i);
        local fieldName = tostring(field);
        if luautils.stringEnds(fieldName, "." .. name) then
            return field;
        end
    end
    return nil;
end

function getClassFieldValueByName(obj, name)
    local field = getClassFieldByName(obj, name);
    if field then
        return getClassFieldVal(obj, field);
    end
    return nil;
end

Use like:

local wheel = getClassFieldValueByName(part, "wheel");

[agile vigil]

Assuming HasTrait returns true/false, yes.

Unless modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite is true and HasTrait returns false.

[dull moss]

ye it does

The mini-mobs of zombies that have a survivor zombie with a military backpack in the center, is that survivor zombie's outfit selected in lua or is that done java side?

yes

[vast nacelle]

Thanks

[drifting stump]

or simply

modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = player:hasTrait("HeartyAppetite")

[dull moss]

nah, then if they dont have it anymore it'll switch state, i want to record the state onCharacterCreation

[drifting stump]

But if they dont have it anymore then they dont have it

[dull moss]

yes but i need to know if they had it

Describing conditions on which you lose/gain traits in here would take a lot of text, so just check goolge sheets for details (link in mod workshop page description). Affected traits that can be gained/lost dynamically: High/Low Thirst, Light Eater/Hearty Appetite, Thick/Thin Skinned, Slow/Fast Healer.<br>IMPORTANT: if you pick any of these traits in character creation they will be permanent on your character, both negative and positive.

last line

🙂

[agile vigil]

May be a silly question, but did you check events to see if this is possible via that?

There's OnCharacterCreateStats and OnCreatePlayer which both sound promising.

[dull moss]

i just initialize my modData OnCreatePlayer

[agile vigil]

So you could just do as Browser8 suggests there? Rather than re-setting every time 😉

[dull moss]

it doesn't re-set

[ancient grail]

Are you trying to change weight? I know how to do that if u are

[dull moss]

if there's already value\

[dull moss]

it wouldn't work

[agile vigil]

No, I mean, if you're doing OnCreatePlayer, and that's only run once. Why bother with anything that might be complicated to read later? Just do the simple direct approach Browser8 suggests. The code is only executed once per player created, so your ModData will remain the same throughout the playthrough.

[dull moss]

onCreatePlayer is ran every time player loads in

[ancient grail]

What ru trying to do

[agile vigil]

Now that explains it 😄

[drifting stump]

Traits are saved even so no need for that can just check if the player has it and do your thing if so

[dull moss]

I already did what I need

[dull moss]

My dud did u even read this

[drifting stump]

Yes if the player currently has it then he has it after a reconnect

[dull moss]

...

[agile vigil]

The intent is to let the player keep experiencing effects even if the trait is lost through other means.

[ancient grail]

Im not following u but i think i may have the codes on one of my mod

[dull moss]

Lemme grind it down for you

[ancient grail]

If your are trying to asign tempporart traits

Temporary*

[agile vigil]

The problem has already been solved

[dull moss]

Yes

[ancient grail]

Cool

https://tenor.com/view/funny-very-sloth-slow-gif-15401812

Sorry if i was lagging ly slow

[dull moss]

But I wanna explain why modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = player:hasTrait("HeartyAppetite") won't work

If I remove HeartyAppetite trait from player, next time he loads in, your line would say that modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = false. Would that be correct?

[drifting stump]

Indeed

[dull moss]

[drifting stump]

If you want it to still work why did you remove it then

[dull moss]

I don't need it to still work

I need to check if it's permanent or not

to see IF i can remove it

"IMPORTANT: if you pick any of these traits in character creation they will be permanent on your character, both negative and positive."

[agile vigil]

Actually, upon re-reading, you'll end up setting the modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite value to true, even if the player originally didn't have it, as long as they currently have HeartyAppitite.

You're probably looking to do:

if modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite == nil then
  modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite");
end

[dull moss]

it's same code as this line modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite = modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite or player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite");

[agile vigil]

No.

That line of code will evaluate to false or player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite") when player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite") = false.

Which means you'll be setting it to HasTrait and walk right into the issue with Bowser's approach.

[dull moss]

yes? If modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite exists, leave it be. if it doesn't - set it to player:HasTrait("HeartyAppitite")

[agile vigil]

That's not what that means.

[dull moss]

yes it is?

[agile vigil]

It means if modData.StartingTraits.HeartyAppetite evaluates to true, afaik, when working with booleans?

Or rather, you're working with booleans, so it'll be one large boolean expression rather than an assignment of either A or B.

[drifting stump]

You are still overwriting the variable

[dull moss]

cmon ppl

didnt want to type it out so sent to ai

[drifting stump]

Just test it ingame then

[agile vigil]

I'd refer to section 3.3 of the Lua docs.
https://www.lua.org/pil/3.3.html

[drifting stump]

Dont start with it

Then gain it

[agile vigil]

Here it states that

A useful Lua idiom is x = x or v, which is equivalent to
if not x then x = v end

[drifting stump]

Remove it

[agile vigil]

Which is not what you're looking for, since your x is a boolean.

[drifting stump]

You will have overwritten the initial value

[agile vigil]

i.e., it sets x to a default value v when x is not set (provided that x is not set to false).

[drifting stump]

local test = false
test = test or true
print(test)

run this and youll understand

[dull moss]

literally

created char with fasthealer,

removed via debug

reloaded

what are you talking about guys

[drifting stump]

create without

[dull moss]

dafuq

what is this bullshit man

fuck me I hoped I won't have to do fucking 10 if statements in my moddata lua

thanks for heads up

@drifting stump @agile vigil

[ancient grail]

If incase you need to then make a checker function

[dull moss]

what do you mean?

oh

I get it

ye that's better

[ancient grail]

U said you need to make multiple ifs statements

[dull moss]

Will do that

yeye

just get that shit in function that returns stuff

smort

[ancient grail]

So u can just put it on a single function and jist call that function so u .... Ow ok

[dull moss]

[terse locust]

Anyone know how the skill recovery journal 100% works? I tried using it but I barely got my levels back and im a lil confused

[drifting stump]

@sour island

[terse locust]

Wait is that the guy who made the mod?

[ancient grail]

Yes

Ye people dont much about mod authors i guess. So i bet puting authors name on the mod itself is the effective form of publicity/advertisment

[ruby urchin]

only end user don't care, they just want play I think lol

[terse locust]

He seems away right now, anybody else knowledgeable in the mod?

[ancient grail]

Its just been updated im not familiar with the changes .. what is it u want to ask

[terse locust]

Well I had like level 7 axe or something, Wrote in the journal with 100% retention, and when I picked it back up after death I'm level 3. While transcribing the journal it also said that I only written like 240 xp in it.

Maybe I think its something that its not?

I thought it'd just give me most if not all the levels back

[ancient grail]

Yeah the old data is gone i think he revamp the journal go to the mod page he wrote stuff there im sure

[terse locust]

I've read it like 15 times but Idk

The main thing to look at is

[ancient grail]

Maybe the last part

In progress probably ment current

Idk

Thats my guess

[terse locust]

I mean I think that that would indicate if I was close to level 8 that It would round down to 7

bc im not level 8 yet

[ancient grail]

Is this your server having problem with the thing? Just announce the mod got updated

[terse locust]

Its a singleplayer

[ancient grail]

Ah well just run debug nd give yourselef the level

[terse locust]

How do I do that?

[ancient grail]

U can open the player stats maybe

From the debug cheat options

[terse locust]

I'm not sure how to get there is that a mod? Or

[ancient grail]

         function PerkLevelup(player, perkType)
    local perkLevel = player:getPerkLevel(perkType);
    if perkLevel < 10 then
        player:LevelPerk(perkType, false);
        player:getXp():setXPToLevel(perkType, player:getPerkLevel(perkType));
        SyncXp(player)
    end 
    end

    end
end

getGodPerks()

here paste this on debug

[terse locust]

What is that?

Is my screen meant to look like this

oh wait

i think I got in the actual game

[ancient grail]

Just paste it on the debug then press enter

On the lua console

Press f11 i think

Theres a mod conflict on your setup maybe

Yes untick the checkbox on the top left ish

Damn left my cigarrete to type that code its gone when i came back 😂

[terse locust]

I think yeah I got my levels back, but I feel like this is super cheaty and I wanna figure out the actual mod yk?

@sour island if you see this please read up real quick and lmk what u think

Thanks @ancient grail I gtg tho

[thick karma]

Am I crazy or is item below simply nil?

    -- walk to
    if JoypadState.players[player+1] == nil and not playerObj:getVehicle() then
        if test == true then return true; end
        context:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_Walk_to"), worldobjects, ISWorldObjectContextMenu.onWalkTo, item, player);
    end

From ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua in createMenu.

[sour island]

Oh that's old actually - even before the last update all do was handled per point.

The update may require you to craft a new journal - and to use that new one and the old one, side by side until you die.

I wrote something to carry over the old method into the new - but people are also getting confused.

[ancient grail]

check out clearFetch

[sour island]

I probably need to redo the sandbox handling as non set variables are nil -- so I should've made it behave like the old style if nil not default 🧠

People also don't seem to be aware of bonus XP multipliers :/

Or read any changelogs

[terse locust]

Oh hi! I just checked back. So @sour island I didn't exactly pick up what your saying sorry!

You're saying there was an update or something?

[robust jetty]

Any way to know x and y of ui?

[ruby urchin]

ui.instance:getX() or ui.instance:getY()

[robust jetty]

what is ui.instance?

[bleak prairie]

are there docs i can look at for lua support? im trying to grasp what everything is lol

[sour island]

Yes, the update ignores TV earned XP as well as boosted XP% from professions/traits

That may explain issues with less than expected results. Both can be toggled on with sandbox.

[terse locust]

Where would I get the update? On the steam page? Bc I believe I redownloaded it earlier

Which then I just need to test the settings

[ancient grail]

his playing SP

he wont have access to sandbox

[quartz badge]

im trying to host with true music and all its required addons and my server gets stuck on "initializing"

without the mods the server starts fine

[ancient grail]

#mod_support

[quartz badge]

thanks\

[thick karma]

I ended up simply passing the variable along as given even though I'm pretty sure it's always nil.

[thick karma]

Sometimes big modpacks can take a pretty long time to initialize for the first time.

[quartz badge]

its like 10 mods

[thick karma]

Mmmmm suspicious

[quartz badge]

is it because true music addons are like 300 megabytes each

[thick karma]

DM me the 10 mods if you want that's not hard to test

[quartz badge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911585473

this is my collection

[thick karma]

I see that's possible

[quartz badge]

should i just wait it out? the max i waited was like 4 minutes

[thick karma]

Possibly, yeah, it could take more than that if it's a ton of stuff to load, depending on PC

[quartz badge]

i have a really good pc

[winter thunder]

Not just pc, but also internet speeds and stuff. I’ve had similar issues on first time loads- I would also try opening a solo map first, then closing it and joining your server. Idk why but I have noticed that helps cut down on the timing of things since it preloads a lot of the files

[plucky sluice]

From a playerObj how can you know the way the player is currently facing? I wan to know id a player is going upstair or downstair

[dull moss]

Glytch u still here?

[winter thunder]

Anyone know if it’s possible to have traits locked to only be selectable for specific professions?

Like, say I took a profession like unemployed. I want to give the player the option to select a new trait, but ONLY for that profession

So it’s not tied intrinsically to the profession, but instead costs points as an additional player option

[bronze yoke]

i think something like that was being worked on for profession framework?

[vast nacelle]

Don't think you can do that directly, but you could add a "NotUnemployed" trait to every other profession and make that trait exclusive to your profession-limited one.

Though its a bit ugly in the UI, especially if you are adding a bunch of profession-limited traits to various professions.

[winter thunder]

Yeah, but it’s the opposite from what i see. Like- it makes specific traits not selectable for a profession. Which would work, but would mean I would need to account for every single profession separately 😭

[winter thunder]

And yeah, thought of that too. But that sounds pretty awful… goal would be to add like, subfields to professions. So players could specialize their stats

[quasi geode]

ya profession framework can do it, traits that are profession specific, or requiring additional prerequisite traits selected first. But experimental features not enabled by default, may include bugs

[sour island]

You can change sandbox with another mod 'change sandbox' by Star.

[dim hill]

Hey, anyone familiar with The Workshop?

What's the name of the workbench you can make in the crafting menu to start using the thing?

[keen swan]

Anyone know if theres a mod that lets alll the origins craft the bombs and noisemaker that engineer can make

[ancient grail]

Yo

[dull moss]

yo

so that or deal

it only doesnt work if 2nd option is false?

or if it's boolean?

or what's the deal 😄

[bronze yoke]

using or to make a default value?

that doesn't work if the first option (the existing value) is/can be false

[dull moss]

oh

[ancient grail]

Might not be possible unless you can overwrite the vanilla code running the char creation . But that might be hardcoded

An idea on how u can do this i by skipping the charater creation or just remove whatver the choices the player took and just remove everything then create some sort of gui that simulates the char creation

Hacky tho

[dull moss]

so 1st one can't be boolean

[ancient grail]

Ye or only needs to check 1 in order to do the function

[dull moss]

How the hell does it know that it can be boolean though, when you create variable you don't specify that it's boolean, does it check the 2nd option and then goes like "oh ye it's boolean"?

[lusty marsh]

if it's anything like the appearance screen you can mod it from lua, it's a massive pain though

[ancient grail]

Can you repost your code

[bronze yoke]

it's nothing to do with it being boolean

[dull moss]

modData.StartingTraits.LightEater = modData.StartingTraits.LightEater or player:HasTrait("LightEater");

[bronze yoke]

or returns the first half if the first half evaluates to true, otherwise it returns the second half

[ancient grail]

Yeah and gui coding is hell time consuming

[bronze yoke]

and false of course doesn't evaluate to true so it doesn't work

[dull moss]

[ancient grail]

Put a
local on that to help with the length

[dull moss]

I do that in code that works with those, I want them to be grouped nicely in my moddata lua

ignore mid part I haven't redone it yet

[lusty marsh]

in client/OptionsScreens/CharacterCreationProfession.lua the class CharacterCreationProfession has a method called isTraitExcluded that I'm guessing filters the list you could probably just override that

[ancient grail]

can you send the text editable code

[dull moss]

do you want to swap out modData.StartingTraits for local var?

and/or sleep system

I'll do it myself in a bit, atm busy with writing up workshop text 🙂

[plucky oxide]

Hi! Anyone know anything about coffee?

I added a new customMug (like the spiffo mug with another logo), so the empty item and a HotDrinkCustomMug version, these items work well. The problem is that I can't get the option to make the hot drink with a right click on the item. So I added a new evolvedrecipe for my mug but I have no recipe display.

I couldn't find a mod that used a new item in an existing recipe. Does anyone know how to point me in the right direction?

[ancient grail]

local sTrait = modData.StartingTraits
local st = {}

st[1] = "HearthyAppetite"
st[2] = "LightEater"
st[3] = "LowThirst"
st[4] = "SlowHealer"

for k, v in pairs(st) do 
  if pl:HasTrait(st[1]) == sTrait[st[1]] then 
    print(sTrait[st[1]])
  end 
end

something like this im sorry if it doesnt work im not really sure how to write it lol

but just to give an idea if it could

but this is just polishing it and maybe somewhere along the line it would be easier to code the next parts

but if your code already works then might aswell use that

but the idea is to store the "HearthyAppetite" string to be able to easily just put that string when you ask the if questions later

local sTrait = modData()['StartingTraits']
local st = {}

st[1] = "HearthyAppetite"
st[2] = "LightEater"
st[3] = "LowThirst"
st[4] = "SlowHealer"

for i = 0, #st -1 do 
    if sTrait == st[i] and  pl:HasTrait(st[i]) then
    --dostuff
    break
    end
end

maybe thats better?

[humble oriole]

Can anyone point me in a direction as to why my mod data won't initialize on the server side for this object? I know it's somewhat impossible without looking at the code, but a direction to look would be nice 😭

[ancient grail]

transmitmoddata

i think

item:transmitModData()

[dull moss]

interesting

[terse locust]

aLSO @sour island i'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A GLITCH (caps) but I randomly got 3 extra skill levels aiming even though I didnt have it.. I don't really mind just odd

[ancient grail]

again im not ssure if it will work but what this does is you can add all the traits easily to the table if the server adds other traits

[humble oriole]

I have this on my server object definition.

    self:initNew()
    if SBioGasSystem.isValidModData(isoObject:getModData()) then
        self:noise("Valid Data")
        self:fromModData(isoObject:getModData())
    end
    self:saveData(true)
end```

```function SBioGas:saveData(transmit)
    local isoObject = self:getIsoObject()
    if not isoObject then return end
    self:toModData(isoObject:getModData())
    if transmit then
        isoObject:transmitModData()
    end
end```

[ancient grail]

if you run the code i gave you

it maxed out your stats

[terse locust]

Oh no

I didnt run it

[ancient grail]

what is the purpose of the moddata

is it sprite/texture related

[humble oriole]

no, just values that need to be updated hourly.

[ancient grail]

or you can refer to maybe farmin related lua

function ISFillGrave:changeSprite(square)
    for i=0,square:getSpecialObjects():size()-1 do
        local grave = square:getSpecialObjects():get(i)
        if grave:getName() == "EmptyGraves" then
            grave:getModData()["filled"] = true
            grave:transmitModData()
            local split = luautils.split(grave:getSprite():getName(), "_")
            local spriteName = "location_community_cemetary_01_" .. (split[5] + 8)
            grave:setSpriteFromName(spriteName)
            grave:transmitUpdatedSpriteToServer()
        end
    end
end

or maybe this? but remove the sprite part

function DebugContextMenu.setForceLockDoor(worldobjects, door, player)
    if not door:getModData().CustomLock then
        door:getModData().CustomLock = true
    else
        door:getModData().CustomLock = false
    end
    door:transmitModData()
end

heres another one
i think this onens better suited

transmitCompleteItemToServer

could also be this one .. ihavent tried what your doing but this what i seeon the vanilla

[humble oriole]

aight, thanks for the examples, I'll stare at it some more until it works haha

[rain shard]

Hey guys, I got a question. If I am broadcasting a message to the chatbox, is there a way to make it in a local range rather than globally to the server?

[ancient grail]

yell

[rain shard]

wait is that something utilized in processSayMessage or am I using the wrong function?

[ancient grail]

ah ok

i thought it was just a general question

[rain shard]

No sorry lol, I should've specified more.

[ancient grail]

check out ISChat:onCommandEntered()

ISChat.lua

[rain shard]

Ty, this was driving me insane hopefully this is it

[ancient grail]

this might also be useful

[rain shard]

Hrm. I'll stare at it, because right now I have it like processSayMessage("Sorry, you can't do that unless you're an admin!") if a command is entered but maybe I'm approaching this wrong

Oh, nevermind. I'm just dumb, it's just a large range and not global.

Thank you for the help, I might try to refactor this with this though.

[winter thunder]

If I am putting functions in a table, can I add parameters to the functions? Or do they have to be listed without ()

[bronze yoke]

they have to be listed without ()

if you use () you're not passing a reference to the function, you're calling it and passing the return value

[ancient grail]

https://imgur.com/KclKdOT due to the demand of checking various vehicles to test the functions i actually made a function to help me

[weak sierra]

there is not, at present, i will add it to the list of stuff to do when i next revisit the mod to fix some other stuff.

[terse locust]

What your guyses opinion on advanced trajectory

[ancient grail]

cool thank you for the respond

[winter thunder]

wait, so when I call the function, I call the table with something like drugData.sideEffect()

Do you know what will happen if I put something inside of that ()?

[bronze yoke]

it was pass that as an argument

[winter thunder]

What do you mean?

[bronze yoke]

like drugData.sideEffect(false) passes false as the first argument

a function is a function, it doesn't matter how exactly you're accessing it

[sour island]

Ye - see my last snippet

[winter thunder]

Like, it will pass that to the function that is in the table?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[sour island]

#mod_development message

[winter thunder]

oh, hell yeah

[sour island]

You can use the key to access a function that is a value

And pass arguments to it just fine

Helps cut down on copy pasting as you can manipulate the key using [""]

[winter thunder]

beautiful! I am trying to find a way to use a single identifier, so it will know the specific function to call based

Like- I am tying the category of the drug in its table to various different variables. So that will make the whole thing really straightforward

if x then just checks to see if a variable exists, right?

[sour island]

Exists and not false

[winter thunder]

so like, this:

        if drugData.baseEffects then
            drugData.baseEffects(drugMultiplier)
        return
        end

Would check to see if that table instance exists, then run the function

[sour island]

x~=nil if you need false to pass

Yep but drugData is modData?

You can't store a function in modData afaik - and probably shouldn't

[winter thunder]

local x = item:getModData().DrugID
    local drugData = DrugInfo:getDrugInfo(x)

Nah, I have a lua table. So, I put the name of the table instance in the modData of the item

[sour island]

Ah ok 👍

[winter thunder]

The funciton I am currently using takes the drug category and the reference for the table info from my main function as seen above. Idea is that I can run this function with just the category of drug or with the specific info from the item. This would let me run the function both tied to my OnEat function trigger, as well as independently using just the Drugs Category.

local function DrugsInPlayerSystem(drugCat, drugData)

The reason I am running the above if statement is basically just to see if this exists, if not, it will run the basic function defined by the category. But I would prefer to not reference multiple tables if I dont need to, so that is my fallback option

[rain shard]

Is there a way to edit the queue join time? AKA not process 1 user every 30s and shortening that time itself? Is there somewhere to reference that?

[dull moss]

@ancient grail smthing like this?

local function checkStartingTrait(startingTraits, player, trait)
    if startingTraits[trait] == nil then
        startingTraits.HeartyAppetite = player:HasTrait(trait);
    end
end

local function createModData(playerIndex, player)
    -- stuff here
    checkStartingTrait(startingTraits, player, "HeartyAppitite")
end
```?

oh forgot return

oh wait its not needed

[ancient grail]

ow wow nice

[dull moss]

there

[ancient grail]

es somethign like that is better

[dull moss]

now fun part

cuz of typos in game

i have to provide special case for 2 of those

[ancient grail]

huh

[dull moss]

cuz I refuse to have variables with typos in my code

[ancient grail]

ye but your are referring to the vanilla syntax so

[dull moss]

ye but

[ancient grail]

no buts

lol

[dull moss]

no, look

[ancient grail]

kidding

[dull moss]

if I pass checkStartingTrait(startingTraits, player, "HeartyAppitite")

it'll create startingTraits.HeartyAppitite

Appitite

Good grammar

as I said before

spellcheck is new feature

[ancient grail]

anyone knows how deactivate an entire lua file

without overwritting it

cuz its already an overwrite of something

its overwritting the vanilla stuff so id like todisable it so i can overwrite the vanilla

[dull moss]

overwrite wars

[signal falcon]

anyone know a mod similar to skill recovery journal mod?

[dull moss]

Why'd you need anything that's similar to perfection when you can have perfection

[signal falcon]

the mod is currently not working, the author is working on hotfixes rn

[ancient grail]

wow chuck is really in demand

the mod actually works idk why people think otherwise read the description iguess it will explain alot

[dull moss]

Nah Chuck actually updated it and broke some stuff from the looks of it

[signal falcon]

i know it works, ive been using it for a while

[dark wedge]

If what your checking for is defined at startup, you can just return . For example, I have this at the top of a file in one of my mods:
if getActivatedMods():contains('ClothingActionsRM') then return end
Just literally at the top of the file outside of all functions. Will just return and stop processing the file if true.

[ancient grail]

no cuz this will just prevent my lua to run

cuz its asking if this mod is active and iknoow it is cuz i required it

then return so meaning my lua wont run

i tried overwritting the file already but mine gets loaded first so it overwrittes mine

[dark wedge]

Oh, you're attempting to disable a lua file in another mod or something? You can just try to override it later. As in, if it does it on initial mod load, you do it OnGameBoot. If they do it OnGameBoot, you do it OnGameStart. etc

[ancient grail]

how exactly

the thing is this

im using chucks container api

[drifting ore]

Can anyone help me please? I have a model of a gun and a sound for it, I need to change the default m4 to the one I chose

[ancient grail]

and the only problem now for me is he replaced the ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid()

i weant to revert it to vanilla

[ancient grail]

you need to make script txt file

add the sound

module Base  {
  
 sound ATMCash {  category = Improvised, clip { file = media/sound/ATM_sfx.ogg,  }  }
}

like that

or just make it base

[dark wedge]

Ok, looking at that mod it overrides the function when mods are loaded. So you could just do:

local ISInventoryTransferAction_isValid = ISInventoryTransferAction.isValid
function ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid()
...Put the vanilla code here...
end
end)```
Since that mod gets to it first and overrides the table, not sure how else to restore that than override again later and just restore the vanilla code.

[bronze yoke]

you could override his file, but load order can be a pain with that

[ancient grail]

copy the script fiole of the vanilla but change some stuff

[ancient grail]

hope this works

[bronze yoke]

you could make sure your file loads first, save the original function, require his file, then reset the function to the one you saved

[dark wedge]

I use this in mods I have published. Sometimes its the only way to ensure compat....

[bronze yoke]

then you'd only overwrite his mod and no others

[ancient grail]

it wont work like this i think

cuz self trigger function should have the names right

i thinkl

syntax error

function ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid()
ISInventoryTransferAction_copy()
end

function ISInventoryTransferAction_copy()
--paste vanilla func
end

this could work i think

[dark wedge]

I'm not sure I follow. The syntax is correct, you are just overwriting the isValid method on the ISInventoryTransferAction table on Game Start instead of when Lua files are read

[bronze yoke]

i was thinking like this:

local old_isValid = ISInventoryTransferAction.isValid
require 'other_file.lua'
ISInventoryTransferAction.isValid = old_isValid

your mod has to load first though

[ancient grail]

i rarely see stuff that calls a function within a function u sure this will work

cuz its hightlighted red on my ide

function() function ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid()

i know this works

ive seen it done but i dont think i can pull it off on this

[dark wedge]

Here is an example from a mod i have published using this method. works 100%

[dull moss]

dafuq

[dark wedge]

The rest of my ISInventoryPage:update() function is then called after the base

[bronze yoke]

i thought we were trying to undo what another mod has done?

[dull moss]

ok my mod is pretty much done, just waiting for my mod image and gonna finish documentation and prob gonna release tomorrow

depends if i'll get my mod picture today or not

[ancient grail]

but it highlighted red on my end

[dull moss]

waiting for fren to provide

[dark wedge]

maybe you do have a syntax error in your code or its your ide. 🤷 only thing that matters is if the game thinks it works or not at the end of the day

[ancient grail]

local ISInventoryTransferAction_isValid = ISInventoryTransferAction.isValid
function ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid()

this is how chuck overwritten the thing

can i used your solution with that

[bronze yoke]

yeah, as long as your mod runs first, that should work

[ancient grail]

and just have it ignore the lua and get the parts i needed from it by copying it

idk if that will work cuz i require it

meaning its gona run first always

like in the mod info

[bronze yoke]

that doesn't affect load order

[ancient grail]

was it mod info not sure

the steam require

ow ok

[ancient grail]

ill try again

wait you know what this might actually work

i just forgot to remove the last end function so it highlighted red earlier

[dark wedge]

Ah! I have to just stare at VSCode sometimes until I see issues. ha. It's not pretty, but should work for you

[ancient grail]

dude you are friken

ow man

you nailed it

omg!!!

i dont have to wait fopr chuck to wake up and clean the api,. he can just continue to fix the journal and i still required his mod

win win

thnx alot @dark wedge

i will never have doubts about what your saying ever! lol at first it didnt think it would work .,. but your method is better than how others overwrite things

where did you learn that

[dark wedge]

Through necessity. lol. Some modders don't run the underlying functions and just spin their own, which breaks the chain. Just overriding it later in the process makes it work.

No criticism there! I admit its necessary sometimes. Just have to work around it when it is a thing. Ha

[ancient grail]

damn you the man ! thnx alot you saved my butt im finally done with the thing

[dark wedge]

nice. and glad to help! i needed a break from staring at the disgusting monstrosity that is raw ".x" files.

[ancient grail]

ow snap thats hard to deal with esp for me im not a fan of blender

autodesk maya cant handle x files

[dark wedge]

I love me some blender. but i'm stuck using that fragMOTION app for now. through a windows vm. ha. only old blender can handle .x files, and i couldn't get that to work. i used the vanilla animations as my base, so i have to use an application that reads those ".x"

its to the point where i just edit the raw files to copy animations because its faster. i hate it, but it works

[ancient grail]

Sounds like hardcore stuff

Trying my hand at using classes in Lua and I'm genuinely not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I've made a minimal class:

require "MutiesDiary"

---@class MutiesDiary.Player
MutiesDiary.Player = {};
MutiesDiary.Player.Type = "MutiesDiary.Player";
---@field player IsoPlayer | IsoGameCharacter | IsoObject

---@param self MutiesDiary.Player
---@return boolean
function MutiesDiary.Player:canRead(self)
    return not self.player:getCharacterTraits():isIlliterate();
end

---@param player IsoPlayer
---@return MutiesDiary.Player
function MutiesDiary.Player:new(player)
    local object = {};
    setmetatable(object, self);
    self.__index = self;

    self.player = player;

    return object;
end

And then I call it with

    local player = MutiesDiary.Player:new(character);
    if not player:canRead() then return false end

elsewhere, but despite the :new() method being run perfectly, and self working fine in there, as soon as I return object I end up with a blank table

[agile vigil]

Oh, you don't put self in the argument list for your class functions 🙂

[drifting ore]

@faint jewel Do you know if trailers from W900 Semi-Truck mod need a special parking zone to be spawned in?

[faint jewel]

not that i know of?

[drifting ore]

While testing my map and various mods, I have never seen any trailers to be spawned anywhere hmmm.

[fast galleon]

usually you do obj.player=player
do you get errors on player:canRead() ?

[fast galleon]

oh, yeah I see what you mean. No you don't do that

you either do obj.func(self) or obj:func()

[agile vigil]

Yeah it was all I did wrong.

Everything working after that.

[fast galleon]

self.player goes to the class, not the new obj. So every time you would set it to the whole class

@agile vigil

[agile vigil]

I see.

[faint jewel]

did you check by the mall?

[jaunty marten]

u do mistake in new

[jaunty marten]

function MutiesDiary.Player:new(player)
    local object = {};
    setmetatable(object, self);
    self.__index = self;

    object.player = player;

    return object;
end

assign values to new table not to self cuz self in new function still just a MutiesDiary.Player

[agile vigil]

Poltergeist already pointed this out a few hours ago 🙂

[jaunty marten]

ah, yea, didn't check it fully, fine 👍
