hi

#

is there a place to get started?

#

I want to edit the insurgent mod to add more traits

ancient grail
#

You cant edit some other authors mod without permission

kindred current
#

Of course, I won't edit it without permisson (besides I don't have the skills to)

#

but uh

#

just the wkik?

ancient grail
#

U could just make yournown trait mods . You need to check the lua files regarding traits . Then it will depend on how the trait functions

#

You should probably want to look at multiple traits mod before starting to code just to be able to grasp the idea. And learn lua in general

im having issues with getFileWriter and reader...
Can read a file and get the data from it, but when i try to write to it... nop... the file remains unchanged.

getPlayer():Say("file: "..tostring(file))
local reader = getFileReader(file, true)
 local line = reader:readLine()
  while line ~= nil do
    -- Split the line into fields
    line = string.gsub(line, ',', '|')
    local fields = {}
    for field in string.gmatch(line, '([^,]+)') do
      table.insert(fields, field)
    end
    -- Extract the values of the Name, Reward Name, Cost, and Status fields
    local name = fields[1]
    local reward_name = fields[2]
    local cost = fields[3]
    local status = fields[4]
    -- Print the values
    print('Name: ' .. name)
    print('Reward Name: ' .. reward_name)
    print('Cost: ' .. cost)
    print('Status: ' .. status)
    -- Read the next line
    line = reader:readLine()
  end
reader:close()
#

this bit works... but after when i do

#

the bit to write the file with an empty string... nothing happens

#

even if its something simple like

getPlayer():Say("file: "..tostring(file))
local writer = getFileWriter(file, true)
writer:write("")
writer:close
#

dont see anything wrong in the code but i suck with lua...

#

i even went the simpler way and try to run the code by just reading 1 line, then closing the reader declaring the writer writing an empty string and closing the file... it reads... but the file isnt modified... and no errors... so im tottally lost

#

i even used pcall to try and catch any error... same thing

#

no errors no changes to the file

ancient grail
#

What error does it show

pulsar heath
#

thats the problem... no errors

#

it just doesnt write the file

#

im prolly missing something stupid and simple... but i dont see what

ancient grail
#

Ow shiiz... Can you try and encapsulate it on a function and just trigger using debug

pulsar heath
#

i started with a function...

#

then broke it down to just code to simplify since i was getting the same problem

#

the debug log shows no error

#

i even added prints for every bit of the code to show in the log what was happening

#

if i create a new file... it creates the file and whatever i pass to the writer shows up... but i cant be creating files for no reason... the point is to use only one file...

ancient grail
# 
function ResurrectID()
local Graveyard = getFileReader("Graveyard.ini", true);
if not Graveyard then return end
while true do
local line = Graveyard:readLine()
if not line then
Graveyard:close()
break
end
print(line)
SendCommandToServer(string.format("/unbanid " .. line))
end
Graveyard:close();
GraveDig() -- then flush table data
end

function BuryFool()
local bdDude = getPlayer():getUsername()
local Graveyard = getFileWriter("Graveyard.ini", true, true); 
local bdSid=(getSteamIDFromUsername(getPlayer():getUsername() .. "\n"));
Graveyard:write(bdSid);
Graveyard:close();
SendCommandToServer(string.format("/banid " .. bdSid));
print("RIP: " .. bdDude .. "  " .. bdSid); 
end
#

heres what i have

#

from old proj

pulsar heath
#

hmm im missing 1 boolean it seems

ancient grail
#

ahh thats the append

#

if it overwrites or append forgot which one is true

pulsar heath
#

so i just need to set it to false

#

i think

ancient grail
#

might be

#

try one and youll know which one after that for sure

pulsar heath
#

yeah, will do so... missing one arg... damn... i need to go and sleep... thanks gonna try it out

ancient grail
#

Owryt goodnight

pulsar heath
#

getFileWriter(filename, File Create Boolean, Append to file Boolean)

#

damn... one arg missing...

#

it works now... thank @ancient grail

Hi, guys!

Is there a way to execute lua as a command to a server?

My case: I want to give a player not just an item, but a bag of items. Also, I want to be able to do it as a command that could be executed via RCON.

I couldn't find a command like "execute lua", so is Java-patching (adding new server command definition) the only way to achieve this?

ancient grail
#

Create a mod item that when u OnCreate it auto gives all the stuff
Send that item to the player

#

Its either that or create a rcon command using jabs mod

cant sleep while the brain is still working πŸ˜„

so since all the heavy weight will be done by the app i coded in vb.net

local line = ReadReward:readLine()
local rewards = {}
local events = {
  ["zombies"] = function(value) zombieEvent(tonumber(value)) end,
  ["gift"] = function(value) giftEvent(value) end,
  ["airevent"] = function(value) AirEvent(value) end,
  ["random"] = function() RandomEvent() end
}
local action = events[reward_type]
while line ~= nil do
    rewards[#rewards + 1] = line
    line = ReadReward:readLine()
end
ReadReward:close()
if action then
  action(rewards[5])
else
  -- Handle invalid reward type
end
local WriteReward = getFileWriter("rewards.txt", true, false)
WriteReward:write('')
WriteReward:close()

the code above ( apart from a thing or two i still need to add, like the actual functions to the triggered) will be handling the game side bit of the mod , gonna have to credit @ancient grail on the mod, since he unstuck my brain after several hours of me being an utter idiot and not noticing an arg was missing πŸ˜„

but it doesnt pop up on the right click

try to add debug print in RemoveItemContextOptions function to check if it's even calls

but as I see it should work

Yea just found out the mod isn’t getting initialised at all

#

Like the files don’t even load in

neon bronze
#

nope it doesnt work at all

It triggers them but they still won't see you. They stumble toward the sound.

#

Idk tbh, maybe?

#

I dunno, when I setInvisible it just makes zombies not see me. What does Ghost do beyond making you invisible?

amber fiber

#

Even though they can't see you?

#

Or you want them to see you if you make noise?

amber fiber
# thick karma You want them to attack you when they hear you?

Well basically I would like to achieve that I can put zombie Guts on my clothes, the more you got, the harder it becomes for Zombies to notice you, you can walk up clother to them, so they will attack you later xD or only when you do stuff like shoot around.

XD only the zombie triggering change is still ??? For me xD

If i load up a mod with a wrong id or a non sensical one in its mod.info will the mod not get initialised?

Missing dependencies for one

#

Maybe it needs Mod Options e.g.

#

Check MODS in main menu and find the mod in that list

amber fiber
neon bronze
#

My mod does get loaded in but the only file it has is not initialised

#

And there are no errors or anything

thick karma
#

Hmmm, in my experience, generally if a mod doesn't load and there are no errors, it's either because I'm missing a dependency, or the mod cannot be found because its location is not what the game expects.

#

Did you change mod's id AFTER adding it to server? That would not work

hot patrol
#

Say I want to add my own textures to the Fjord Mustard car mod how would I go about doing so?

#

without overwritting their stuff

neon bronze
#

No im doin the mod on my computer in sp

#

The file does not show up but the mod itself does in the pause menu under mods

thick karma
#

I would inspect the file that isn't showing up carefully for weirdness, like invisible characters that don't seem to go away when you hit Delete.

#

Maybe something odd preventing file from being read at all or throwing errors.

neon bronze
#

You mean in the name or in the file itself?

Does anywhere know the default path for getModFileWriter? I've saved info in a file and can pull that information back up but I can not find the file on my pc. I'm hosting a local dedicated server.

Nevermind again. The file is written to your main mod folder, with mod.info.

hello I am having an issue with my one of my first uploaded mods from the workshop. It works for single player but when I try and enable the mods on my server I get an error "server has stopped during launch (NormalTermination)". Any reason this might be? Thank you.

I found my problem. the visibility for the mod was friends only and I fixed it by making the mod public.

Is there a way to define male/female hairstyles in HairOutfitDefinitions? I know it can be done in ZombiesZoneDefinition w/ maleHairStyles= and femaleHairStyles= but I'm not aware of similar segregation on the outfit level.

thick karma
thick karma

limber oar
#

Honestly at this point I'd settle for just doing it in ZombiesZoneDefinition, but maleHairStyles and femaleHairStyles don't seem to work as expected either...I keep getting dudes spawning in with afros and stuff even when I have it set to a 100% chance of using one hairstyle for guys.

#

I even tried splitting out the men and women into two completely separate outfits and just defining it that way, but interestingly, it seems like even if the "chance" defined in ZombiesZoneDefinition adds up to 100, restricting the gender of a spawnable outfit introduces a chance of spawning a random zombie if it rolls opposite.

#

So, for example:

# 
    TestFemale = {
        name="FemaleOutfit",
        chance=50,
        gender="female",
    },
    TestMale = {
        name="MaleOutfit",
        chance=50,
        gender="male",
    },
}```
#

This should, at least by my understanding, force only TestFemale and TestMale (w/ a 50% chance of either), with no chance for random zombies, but it actually seems to create a 25% chance for TestFemale and 25% for TestMale with 50% chance to spawn a random zombie when the roll fails to hit the preferred gender on both.

ancient grail
#

i dont think the chance is percent based

#

its just the chance

#

imagine the chance is like a ticket the more ticket you have the more chance of winning

limber oar
#

The dev comments say:
-- Chance at 75 means 75% of the zombies spawning (except mandatory) will have this outfit, the other 10% will have generic, the total chance of them all should be <= 100

ancient grail
#

but i could be wrong

#

ahh i see

limber oar
#

In that particular example 10% is left "undefined" to fill the generics, but the current version of my mod fills to 100% to cut out the generics and it works fine

#

It's just trying to control these damn hairstyles that is -- pardon the pun -- leading me to rip my hair out

#

AFAIK you can't set gender-specific hairstyle restrictions in HairOutfitDefinitions and the gender-specific restrictions in ZombiesZoneDefinition don't seem to work. So, you have one pool of hairstyles for both genders to pull from. But the individual hairstyle chances together can't exceed 100, and if there are female or male-specific hairstyles in the pile, it just ignores those and counts it as random, so e.g. you have a 50% for Donny and 50% for Long and it will spawn your guy with Donny 25% of the time despite the fact that Donny is the only male haircut in the pile...

#

And you can't set Donny to 100% without removing all the other hairstyles and thus forcing the females to go bald...

#

Don't Evolved Recipes already allow some amount of rotten food based on your cooking level?
I imagine if that does work, it'd just make all rotten food usable regardless of level.

jagged ingot
#

Kind of sucks that what I'm working on is so technical and deep modding but yeah the result will be amazing.

#

For those versed in render coding I'm passing the off-screen FBO texture to a shader for backdrop rendering for UI.

#

I'm working on having options to select a shader for a UIElement or the like.

#

So UI drawing can be offloaded to shaders and be able to do a lot more in realtime.

Alright, I'm 8 hours in, I've tried everything, nothing works. I'm fairly convinced at this point that the feature is broken. Has anyone actually gotten maleHairStyles and femaleHairStyles working in their ZombiesZoneDefinition?

#

It should not be this difficult to set different hairstyles for male and female zombies but apparently it is.

ancient grail
#

Check out authentic z

#

Peach added loads of zeds i bet it included hair

limber oar
#

One of the first places I looked. They don't define any hairstyles in ZZD, only in HairOutfitDefinitions, and in all those cases it's WAD because the outfit is gender-limited, so there's no problem of male and female hairstyles being glomped together into a single outfit definition.

#

I tried splitting into male and female outfits but then that runs into the aforementioned issue wherein the area starts getting a bunch of random zombies because of the spawn roll system.

#

So it seems like, barring a fix/workaround that I've not yet found, I have to choose between either:

  • Defining hairstyles for the male and female, but diluting the zone with a bunch of random generic zombies
  • Keeping the zone's zombie distribution as I want it, but turning a bunch of them bald because the hairstyle roll doesn't ignore opposite gender hairstyles and will just generate a bald head instead if the hairstyle it hits is ineligible
#

This can't be right, but I cannot for the life of me figure out any other options.

#

It's especially frustrating because this should be incredibly easily handled by simply defining the male/female hairstyle pools w/ maleHairStyles and femaleHairStyles but those just don't seem to do anything at all.

@ruby urchin Hey, came to my attention today that my custom animation is not visible to other players when I do it. Only visible locally. Have you perhaps solved how to communicate the animation to other players? Would I need to tell the server to tell all clients to set my animation variable locally?

pulsar heath
#

i had a similar problem with the integration

#

the target of the event would see the zombies... every other player would not

thick karma
#

Okay so if I just do the player:setVariable calls server side, the animation will play for everyone?

pulsar heath

you can make the call locally

the code has to be ran server side

you can try something simple as to keep your lua scripts in the shared lua folder

thick karma
pulsar heath
#

mod code can be ran locally or server side

thick karma

You mean in client or server right?

pulsar heath

thats why you have the client , server and shared folder inside the lua folder

#

if you only have code on the client, its client only

#

server server only and shared both

thick karma
#

gotcha I just wasn't sure if you meant clientside or something else when you said locally... That's why I was confused how I could run it clientside and serverside... but you meant run it in shared?

#

And that will be fine?

pulsar heath
#

anything you put on shared will be available on both server and sp

thick karma
#

Right

pulsar heath
#

client only sp, it will work

#

but nobody else will see it

#

only the player itself

thick karma
#

Understood. I will attempt to make it visible in MP by moving some code to shared.

im a lazy bastard an i just stick everything into shared when making mods that can be used on a server or a sp

I know I am a bit late, but if it is a TimedAction you need to use the following to set the Animation variables in the Action:

self:setAnimVariable("Variable", "Value")

Setting the variable directly on the character i.e. `character:setVariable()` does not sync over multiplayer, regardless of where the code is located at. You need to do this yourself

I wanted the duration to be configureable

Via sandbox

dark wedge
# ancient grail How do i do that exactly?

You could 100% do this via singleplayer, for multiplayer it would take some sync work on your part. In your Action definition (XML), just set:

    <m_Name>NAME</m_Name>
    <m_AnimName>ANIMATION_NAME</m_AnimName>
    <m_SpeedScale>SPEEDVARIABLE</m_SpeedScale>```
Then in your action or whatever, it would be:
```character:setVariable("SPEEDVARIABLE", 5)```
Or whatever you wanted the speed to be.

# ancient grail Pls do share the code

Client:

Yogi.reportAnimation = function(displayName, state)
    local arguments = {
        displayName = displayName,
        state = state
    }            
    sendClientCommand("Meditation", "Animation Toggle", arguments)
end

Yogi.acknowledgeAnimation = function(mod, command, arguments)
    if mod ~= "Meditation" or command ~= "Animation Toggle" then return end

    local displayName = arguments.displayName
    local state = arguments.state
    local buddies = getOnlinePlayers()
    
    for index = 0, buddies:size() - 1 do
        local buddy = buddies:get(index)
        if buddy:getDisplayName() == displayName then
            if state then
                buddy:setVariable("Meditative", state)
            else
                buddy:clearVariable("Meditative")
            end
            return
        end
    end
end

Events.OnServerCommand.Remove(Yogi.acknowledgeAnimation)
Events.OnServerCommand.Add(Yogi.acknowledgeAnimation)

Server:

local function changeAnimationState(mod, command, player, arguments)
    if mod ~= "Meditation" or command ~= "Animation Toggle" then return end    
    sendServerCommand(mod, command, arguments)
end

Events.OnClientCommand.Add(changeAnimationState)

I pass true for state when activating the animation and false for state when deactivating the animation; I might be able to pass nil for state and clear variable by setVariable(name, nil) but I am too tired of experimentation to make sure it works lmao so probably not bothering for now.

That complicates things

Can i make like the fall and the stand up 2 diffrent thing and just the layong on the ground is the configureable speed

#

And im aiming for mp . Cuz my version already works sp

Like i mentioned its not synced

So I'm working on a mod for a different character model and I can't seem to rescale the model. If I scale the Bip01 skeleton root and mesh together, when the game starts the model seems to be scaled to normal size no matter how I scale it.

But if I just scale the mesh, then it really messes up the animations since the skeleton is mis-sized for the mesh.

  • okay, I figured out I just needed to "apply transforms" in Blender. But doing that results in the character being stretched out. I think I need to rescale all the animations for this character?

So, you can definitely turn these into TimedActions and get better results, instead of it being a Timer. Essentially you would replace all of your:
pl:setVariable() calls into the appropriate TimedAction:

self:setAnimVariable("BumpDone", true) -- replaces player:setVariabla()
self:setActionAnim("BearTrapped") -- replaces player:playerEmote()
...etc...

All of the other player function calls (like pl:setBumpType()) would be done in the start() function of your TimedAction too. Those should be synced by the game
The only thing is the speed, which you will need to sync yourself if doing MP. But using that example @thick karma posted is a good way to get that variable to sync, and for that each player will need to have the player:setVariable() call made.
You will also need to convert your Emotes into Actions (just rename the folder to actions ) and change the condition <m_Name>emote</m_Name> to be <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name> The value for that condition should be what you want to set in setActionAnim()
Hope that makes sense, tried not to make a page and a half in this channel but still give info. lol

ancient grail
#

Ye i tried doing the timeactio. By using the one i did before as template but i failed so i reverted to this way for now

ancient grail
#

I mean the emote. The problem with the emote however is that u can still move or cancel right

upper oak
ancient grail
#

If theres a way for me to create a custom anim that cant move and use any emote then that might be useful

I still dont get much of whats goin on with xml but thnx for the advice i saved it as notes ill look at it again when im back doing this

#

The bip thing right maybe i misunderstood you

#

@dark wedge I have a head-scratcher for you if you're bored and lurking lol

dark wedge
thick karma
#

I am trying to apply a function when the amount of light in the player's general vicinity is below a certain threshold. The catch is that the function applies light to the player's general vicinity, such that continuing to perform this calculation using, e.g., player:getSquare():getLightLevel(player:getPlayerNum()) will continue to yield opposite results in a dark space; the light function will be triggered, then disabled, then triggered, then disabled, etc.

dark wedge
thick karma
#

So the question becomes: how do I use the player's overall visibility or the overall lighting of the player's current location (even their square) in determining whether to continue lighting that square if the lighting of the square affects the condition of whether the square continues to need to be lit?

dark wedge
thick karma
#

Hmmm changing threshold based on whether light is on... I'll consider this. Might actually work better than I thought it could at first... I'll give it some thought. At first I thought everywhere I went with my light reported a 1 at my feet which was not informative, but I did find a few places that reported less and I forgot to revisit this idea...

#

(1 on 0 - 1 brightness scale, which I thought was inevitable due to standing on a light source, but later it proved not to be... I found some places I could stand and only get .7, .85, etc.)

#

I guess I could require the lighting to be consistently different for a certain number of frames in a row to prevent flickering when walking in and out of dark corners or something

dark wedge
#

Oh, that would make sense that it would be more consistently showing 1 on the square you are on. Maybe you can get the light of the square in front, or to the side of you if there is a wall in the way or something?

thick karma
#

Yeah the math gets complicated fast there. Is there a wall, am I in a room, is the other side of the wall outside my room, etc. Oof. Been considering looking into that more deeply but was hoping for a clever creative solution that doesn't require so many calculations per event.

dark wedge
#

If you get the adjacent square by getting the player's direction, you can use the "isWallTo" to check that relatively quick. it would be a bit of extra work, but possibly more accurate to check the external light level there if you are generating light

thick karma
#

Yeah I see what you're saying

#

Just get a little further from the source and it'll be a more consistent difference from its unlit state in all/most unlit states (except I guess if I'm in an extremely bright area).

#

I guess I could isWallTo in the forward, left, and right direction and average them pretty fast. Maybe that data would be more reliably useful, given possibility of standing in corners and stuff.

#

if there's no wall, check brightness, add to avg

#

maybe 2 squares away each

#

Idk getting too tired to experiment fully but can't resist urge to brainstorm lol

dark wedge
#

I like that. if you're going 2 squares away though, i'd just get the immediate radius around you.

thick karma
#

I hear you, I already have a radial loop but I think it's misleading because of squares that get reported dark behind you

#

Actually

#

Nah I need to fix something lol

#

Damn it too tired to write right

dark wedge
#

I feel that. I'm having a hard time focusing on writing my own code. ha. i keep getting lost in all of the tabs i have open

thick karma

lol jesus I am just going to show you

#

Average light level around player, no wall checks:

Darkvision.lighting = function(player)

    local x, y, z = player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ()

    local total = 0

    for xShift = -3, 3 do

        for yShift = -3, 3 do

            local square = getSquare(x + xShift, y + yShift, z)

            local light = square:getLightLevel(player:getPlayerNum())

            total = total + light

        end

    end

    return total / 49

end
dark wedge
#

All of the light! Forever! ha

thick karma
#

And then when I ran the code and saw the same number a lot I figured gee nothing is wrong here

ancient grail
#

Ok thnx ill try to copy the stagger animation and replace the animation

thick karma
#

But yeah I'll add isWallTo checks that would be a nice touch... maybe only go out to -2, 2 with isWallTo checks and see how it runs

#

Don't wanna go too crazy here

ancient grail
dark wedge
#

For sure. You can also check if a square is outside, and do things accordingly.

thick karma
#

This seems to be yielding a number I could possibly work with:

Darkvision.lighting = function(player)
    local x, y, z = player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ()
    local origin = player:getSquare()
    local total = 0
    for xShift = -2, 2 do
        for yShift = -2, 2 do
            local square = getSquare(x + xShift, y + yShift, z)
            if not origin:isWallTo(square) then
                local light = square:getLightLevel(player:getPlayerNum())
                total = total + light
            end
        end
    end
    return total / 49
end

not sure if there is a better example, but take a look at ISHealthPanel.lua and clientCommands.lua. at the very bottom of ISHealthPanel.lua, you can see how the client receives a command from a server, and from clientCommands.lua you can see how sendServerCommand is used to send the command from the server to a client

Okay, the details are this: I am making a handgun mod. I have it set up, however when I launch a server with it, it stalls and then crashes with the "NormalTermination" error. When I launch it in single player, it hangs on reloading lua, then kicks me to a hudless menu, where i then have to restart my game and delete the mods folder so i can actually get in again. I have several error logs that I will provide you with. As well as the actual .rar. People told me it was a random typo in the code, and i fixed that, and it still kept freezing. I even went and redid the entire mod, and it still is freezing and its making me very upset because i spend way too long on it and i did not sleep last night. I am at a complete and total loss.

Then here's a debug log from singleplayer. Both are with that mod, and show what happens every single time i have tried to get into the world with that mod. I feel like I am overlooking something very simple and it's getting on my nerves.

@sour island Would you be open to adding a mod option to Named Lit for hiding this on gamepad?

dull moss
#

I'm not even sure what is rolled back

sour island
thick karma
#

No I mean the overlay that covers what you're selecting

dull moss
#

Isn't that base game behavior?

thick karma
#

It's a little weird knowing what you're highlighting when it's got such a black overlay over most of your selection

#

@dull moss No

#

Here's a normal book with the tooltip drawn in normal place:

image.png
dull moss
#

Ah i see what u mean

thick karma
#

Here's how it shows if you use custom text for the built-in tooltip (though it's less flexible afaik because the tooltip text is in an item script file):

image.png
#

I'm sure the Named Lit box looks good for most people on KBM because its location is probably determined an little differently, e.g. by the mouse location

#

But it's just a little in the way on gamepad defaults

#

I personally ❀️ Named Lit but a new friend was having trouble navigating inventory with Named Lit in it and was asking which mod was blocking inventory like that

thick karma
# sour island You mean the fact titles don't wrap?

I feel like moving the overlay would take a lot of rethinking how stuff is laid out... e.g. you would probably have to set its (x, y) after you knew how tall it was... In the meantime I would legit write you the Mod Option if you'll add a little boolean flag for it to your ISToolTipInv:render()

#

I would prefer to just be allowed to hide it haha

#

I don't want to stress you out about relocating it

#

Hiding would be sufficient.

sour island
#

I can look at how it's adjusted in vanilla

#

Wouldn't be that hard

#

Might even handle the wrap too now that I have a text wrapper

Is there any way to avoid a recipe showing up in the inventory context menu?

Or altering the options provided. I have a first aid kit which can hold multiple bandages, and I simply want the kit to have a context menu option like: "Take Bandage > Adhesive Bandage / Bandage / Sterilized Rag" instead of "Take Adhesive Bandage > One / All", "Take Bandage > One / All" and finally "Take Sterilized Rag > One / All"

Ok how the fuck are we supposed to make our mods work with superb survivors if getPlayer() grabs fucking npcs

finite radish
dull moss
# finite radish `getSpecificPlayer(0)`

so if I replace all my getPlayer() with getSpecificPlayer(0) it should work? Will this apply to MP or do I have to make specific if case to catch if superb survivors is running?

finite radish
drifting stump
#

getSpecificPlayer is for coop players

dull moss
#

all my luas are in client folder, don't have any server-sided scripts

finite radish
drifting stump
#

it is indeed 0

#

locally

#

player 0 in your client

dull moss
#

eh, I'll jsut try, see what happens

drifting stump
#

if its anything to do with split screen players then getSpecificPlayer

#

if you want to grab other players other than local in multiplayer then its getOnlinePlayers

dull moss
#

I want to grab the player

finite radish
#

but maybe that's incorrect

drifting stump
#

it creates fake players

fast galleon
#

getPlayer is just getSpecificPlayer(0) in disquise

dull moss
drifting stump
#

and without looking at code the way its created is probably replacing the main player instance

finite radish
#

but those must be splitscreen/co-op players rather than actual multiplayer players, right? because it only runs in the singleplayer "version" of the game rather than a localhost server

drifting stump
#

therefore getPlayer giving you an npc likely the most recently created

#

no its because it wouldnt be able to create fake players in multiplayer

#

you can have splitscreen players on a server

finite radish
#

it uses SurvivorFactory.CreateSurvivor(); from the looks of it

#

also wild, didn't know that splitscreen worked in MP

drifting stump
#

and cool fact all the split screen players in a single client share the same connection

#

never tested or actually looked to verify but weve theorized before you might be able to get 400 players in a server

#

servers do up to 100 client connections

#

and since split screen shares the same connection it might work

ancient grail
finite radish
#

browser's distinction is important though, if the IDs are client specific

#

(not in the case of singleplayer though)

SSIsInventoryTransferAction.ISInventoryTransferAction.perform = ISInventoryTransferAction.perform

    local ssquare = getSourceSquareOfItem(self.item,self.character)
    --print(tostring(ssquare))
    if(ssquare ~= nil) and (self.destContainer:getType() ~= "floor") then
        local OwnerGroupId = SSGM:GetGroupIdFromSquare(ssquare)

function ISInventoryTransferAction:perform() -- confirmed working
    local player = self.character;
    local item = self.item;
    local itemWeight = item:getWeight();
    local modData = player:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld.TransferSystem;

    modData.ItemsTransferred = modData.ItemsTransferred + 1;
    modData.WeightTransferred = modData.WeightTransferred + itemWeight;

so these 2 things conflict somehow, top is superb survivors, bottom is mine. Throws error that there's null table at

Ye its not really that big of a. Deal if u have just one aspect for a mod like if its mp or sp
Thats all cool i think

Unlike my problem
I published beartraps and a few servers use it excpt for the server who comissioned the mod cuz its causing error for them

But looking at the error logs.
Its cuz of their tile definition is overwritten by some mod
Which i cant fix

Ow forage zones nice
Well now u have multiple ways to explore

finite radish
# finite radish forage zones

(to elaborate on this, I think you can probably just do square:getZone() where square is the player's current square - but there are likely other pathways to essentially the same thing)

faint jewel
#

what do this do?

dull moss
#

Maybe returns true when you move more slowly cuz you in the trees?

#

Like u know when u in forest your speed drops to shit

#

when you try to go through trees and stuff

finite radish
# faint jewel what do this do?

this returns true ONLY if the tile you're in

  1. has a tree in it
    and
  2. that tree is larger than size 2 (there's 4 sizes, 4 being the largest)
#

it also appears to check for hedges and returns true in that case

#

and also bushes

faint jewel
#

basically... i want to damage people if they are in the forest.

finite radish
#

but what's "the forest"

#

that's a very vague concept

#

forest ZONES? within any tree? next to a tree? etc.

#

if it's vague, use the zones

dull moss

Dmg them when they are next to atleast 4 trees maybe

is they are not on the paths

#

if you check every tick then maybe

finite radish
# dull moss not if you check every minute

to check every minute, you'd still need to either a) have a conditional on the update loop or b) hook into an event handler that fires every minute

both sound like more of a pain in the ass than it's worth when you could instead just check foraging zones

General:
    - Added partial support for Superb Survivors!, traits tied to "Items Transfer" system won't be dynamic if you run it. Problem is that Superb Survivors! uses ISInventoryTransferAction:perform() to make NPCs move items and I use moddata there that doesn't exist for NPCs.

goes into if

#

man its so convenient to just leave loggers inside the code and just uncomment them when you need them

finite radish
#

or you could just add a debug flag but that works too

dull moss
#

adn then put every print into if?

#

that'd net too many prints

#

I'd rather do it 1by1 depending on what i need

finite radish
#

it's just like
if isDebugEnabled() then <do thing> end

#

given that prints are usually pretty short, you could inline the whole thing like that

dull moss
#

yea but

#

and i have a bunch on stuff on everyminute/10minutes

#

so that'd be a lot of prints

Hi. is there a mod like airsoft? and players/pvp will just be knocked down(prevent dying)

#

I haven't tested this with Lua but does table["a"] and table.a under any circumstance not refer to the same entry?

#

I was thinking debugPrint(object, "var") could create a label for the print

#

Also thinking a parameter could lump the message into a temp list and output it into 1 message

is it possible to completely override vanilla features with a mod (i.e. changing either wound infection, advanced recipe mood buff or moodle effects) without completely replacing them? I have no idea how I would do anything like this I'm just wondering if it's possible

override without replacing wat? wdym

Friend on gamepad has an oddly bugged state after running some mods that persists into vanilla (gamepad is now bugged even with mods off); wondering if anyone has seen it. They get caught in an infinite loop while inventory is open in which the game seems to be trying to set their focus to the inventory pane repeatedly, but failing, seemingly because it stops here:

function ISInventoryPage:onGainJoypadFocus(joypadData)
    ISPanel.onGainJoypadFocus(self, joypadData)

    local inv = getPlayerInventory(self.player);
    local loot = getPlayerLoot(self.player);
    inv:setVisible(true);
    loot:setVisible(true);
    getPlayerVehicleDashboard(self.player):removeFromUIManager()
    self.inventoryPane.doController = true;
end

...where it tries to remove the vehicle dashboard from the UI but apparently gets null in Java when trying to obtain said vehicle dashboard. Anyone have any ideas about how this weird loop gets triggered?

PS: Why would the vehicle dashboard appear to return nil when the self.player seems to exist (since inv and loot are set visible successfully)?

Can you not replace/remove items from an inventory from the server side?

#

it's strange, when I process the items, the server seems acknowledge they're no longer in the inventory but the client doesn't reflect it

sand harbor
humble oriole
#

depends on how much of the system is written with lua

#

lua can be hooked into/overwritten (overwritting typically is bad though)

#

if it's on the java side, you can hook into it with the tools provided but not overwrite it.

do you know how to make a Moodle Framework Trait AKA Virus
???

placid delta
humble oriole
#

oh man, really?

#

I'm just doing this biowastecontainer:Remove(item)

placid delta
#

if ran on client it only effects client, if ran on server only effects server etc

#

might just need to add
biowastecontainer:sendContentsToRemoteContainer()
right after your remove \

#

test it ofc

#

and this assums your processing this code on the server not the client

humble oriole
#

looks like that's depereciated, but there's sync and serverItems

Anyone have experience with sandbox options and ZombiesZoneDefinition? Wondering why this doesn't work:


local femaleChanceSetting = 50
if SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio = 1 then
    femaleChanceSetting = 0
elseif SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio = 2 then
    femaleChanceSetting = 25
elseif SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio = 3 then
    femaleChanceSetting = 50
elseif SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio = 4 then
    femaleChanceSetting = 75
elseif SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio = 5 then
    femaleChanceSetting = 100
end

ZombiesZoneDefinition.School = {
    femaleChance = femaleChanceSetting,
    Student = {
        etc.```

The sandbox options appear properly in the sandbox settings and all that so it isn't an issue with the variable names or what have you.
#

Do I need to use the string defined for enum option1, option2 etc. instead of the numValue defined in sandbox-options.txt? Or is it just not possible to run code directly in ZombiesZoneDefinition?

jaunty marten
#

just print the SandboxVars.ModName.GenderRatio

#

and check if changed vars initialised before ur mod lua

#

cos idk when they are

Do modded enum sandbox options work? No matter what I set mine to I can only ever get them to return their default value. This occurs even with the "example" sandbox mod posted on the wiki (on this Discord, by a TIS dev).

#

This post, in question.

#

Set CustomOption2 to Value #1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, it will always write CustomOption2= 1 in the console.

jaunty marten
limber oar
#

The former. New game, set value in sandbox, loaded game, exited to menu after spawning in, checked console.

#

I've confirmed that integer and double sandbox options work fine, but the enum and string options seem to only return their defaults.

jaunty marten
#

try to print in exactly in debug console after spawning in

jaunty marten
#

enum too

limber oar
#

wat

#

Okay, at least it's something on my end, though no idea what I could be breaking with a mod I haven't touched...

limber oar
jaunty marten

#

I've just been checking console.txt, as far as I can tell that's where the example mod prints to.

#

Nothing from the example mod shows up in the debug console on spawn (unless I edit it to do so) by default.

#

Oh, I get what you're saying

#

Okay, yes, it does actually return the right value in the debug console, just not in console.txt

#

If the sandbox vars are not initializing before my mod lua (not 100% that's the issue, just guessing), what's a good way to correct this? I'm trying to modify the ZombiesZoneDefinitions per sandbox options, so that lua is always going to load early, with the other shared files...

Toss your code in a function and add it to Events.OnGameStart?
The first round of Zombies that are spawned at world gen might not reflect your changes, but the rest from then on would.
Not sure on the order of events there.

limber oar
#

The first round of Zombies that are spawned at world gen might not reflect your changes

Hmm. It's not perfect, but zombies are spawned in chunks, right? So, as long as the player doesn't start in one of the areas I'm trying to define, that wouldn't matter much -- do I have that right?

vast nacelle
#

Yes, that is how it works. Only the zombies in the player's immediate area are spawned.

limber oar
#

If it works it's an acceptable interim solution. Though, it could be limiting in the future, as one of my planned features involves a start in the defined area in question. But I suppose I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

#

Presumably there's a way to delete and force zombies to spawn in an area. Maybe some sort of workaround like "on load, delete all zombies in the chunk, then spawn new ones" (which by that time would draw from the updated ZoneDefinitions) would mitigate the problem.

Eyo, I would like to commission a mod, if somebody would be willing to take it up. Shouldn't be too hard to make either, its just a clothing mod

So, I'm deleting an item from a container on the server side, and it's not updating the inventory on the client side. I tried doing a onServerCommand and it's container:requestServerItemsForContainer() and container:requestSync()

bronze yoke
#

what method are you using to remove the item?

humble oriole
#

biowastecontainer:Remove(item)

#

I also tried DoRemoveItem

#

The server knows it's gone

#

but the client doesn't reflect it until I reload the isoobject

I havent tried server sided editing world objects so i really dont know. Most of the stuff i did are client or shared

bronze yoke
#

if closing the inventory and reopening it still shows the deleted item, i don't think this will help

ancient grail
#

As a matter of fact i havent written anything that used OnClientCommand
Or OnServerCommand

#

Ah then refresh inventory

#

And refresh loot

dark wedge
#

setting that flag should tell the InventoryPage to perform a refresh for all inventory pages for all players on next render tick

no, its defined as a global

you basically never need to require vanilla afaik

#

none of the vanilla files return anything and they load first anyway
