You could always try to find a way to read the values on the bite wound and when they get to a thresh hold increase it back to the top

[dark wedge]

There are event functions that run periodically such as:
EveryDays
EveryHours
EveryTenMinutes
EveryOneMinute
You could add a function to one of these here, and just re-apply the bite. Personally, I would recommend EveryDays which runs at midnight; could make the description like the wound re-opens at that time

[ancient grail]

Could be same as the old one

[naive crescent]

Thats a way better idea

[ancient grail]

Or could be same

[rancid panther]

i dont want the bite to reapply in the case that they do get the cure

[naive crescent]

Then have it when infected = true reapply

that little tick box in the health screen

When you get the cure turn infected off and get that slider down to 0

[rancid panther]

what about while the bandage is on, wouldnt that overwrite the bandage and make an open wound again

[naive crescent]

give me a sec

[rancid panther]

but i also dont mind the wound healing, i just think the bite healed too fast because it isnt bleeding

[naive crescent]

then if thats the case add a function that keeps the infected check box ticked

untill cure = true

[fast galleon]

@ancient grailshould work 👍

I need more coffee

[dark wedge]

ah, actually there is: player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):setBiteTime(biteTime)
Should be able to just reset the wound

[fast galleon]

a bit buggy but would do what you want

[rancid panther]

oh wow i was just about to paste what i had currently

player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):SetBitten(true, true)

so would i add that after setbitten?

i'll probably try and test it tomorrow. i dont wanna keep myself up too late again

[dark wedge]

From what I understand, you apply the bite (or re-apply it if its gone missing in your case) with SetBitten(true, true)
I haven't tested it, but i think this re-opens the wound which afaik you don't want if its used again. So this is only to initially apply it.
If you just want to reset the time so the bite is always there or there longer use, setBiteTime(biteTime)

[naive crescent]

Maybe have have the infected check box ticked a function of the trait your using

And have the cure remove the trait when used

and turn off the infected check box

[rancid panther]

here is an example of what it looks like when the bite was applied during some tests before

could i set the bite time really high so it just takes a while to heal no matter what or is there a cap to the wound times?

[naive crescent]

Im sure you can, but someone else would have to weigh in,

Doesnt the trait give the bite?

[rancid panther]

yea

[naive crescent]

and you want it to heal over but stay infected?

[rancid panther]

i dont really care if it heals over but it healed too fast

and i think it is cuz bite time is automatically 0

[dark wedge]

ohhh, when you just spawn it with SetBitten(true, true) it does set it to 0

so yes, you will need to then use: player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):setBiteTime(biteTime)
Directly after you apply it

[rancid panther]

in a separate line?

[dark wedge]

yes.

[naive crescent]

yea

below the first

[rancid panther]

and how about bleed time? setBleedTime?

what is the time measurement in this case?

[ancient grail]

coffee break guys

[dark wedge]

Continuing from the example before:

Bitten.apply = function(playerIndex, player) 
    if player:HasTrait("Bitten") and not player:getModData().bitten then
        player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):SetBitten(true, true)
        player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):setBiteTime(500) -- example time, pick your own
        player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):setBleedTime(500) -- example time, pick your own
        player:getModData().bitten = true
        player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Bandage")
    end
end

[ancient grail]

first time to avail nitro

used my own animatons for it 🙂

[rancid panther]

is it measured in ticks?

or seconds?

[dark wedge]

uhhhh, however the game does its healing. not sure. its weird, you'll have to just get bit a few times and get that value

[rancid panther]

actually nvm since first aid affects that too

ok thanks

i'll just go get bit and see what the default bite time is

just posting it here if you need any of those

@rancid panther

[rancid panther]

thanks

im gonna try first by just setting bite time since it is already in the format i currently am using

could i also add IsBleeding(false) or something? so it can be like an old bite that is just there

not bleeding and permanently bitten as a reminder

how do i reopen the command console once closed?

got it nvm

[naive crescent]

Im not sure if bleeding is a boolean variable or a float but I dont see why not

[naive crescent]

Thats quite the resource to keep on hand thanks

[rancid panther]

i cant find it

even when bleed time is 0 or it doesnt say the wound is bleeding in health panel, i still bleed

so maybe it isnt

[naive crescent]

Maybe theres more to it.

[rancid panther]

it's okay. i think set bite time is more than enough for what i want to achieve

[naive crescent]

I really dont know, im still a rookie when it comes to coding PZ and have never messed with that system, I just understand coding fundamentals to be able to give you these suggestions

[rancid panther]

50-ish is the default and 500 and 5000 both work without causing errors

so i could probably set it high enough so that the wound never heals. not sure if it will re-infect tho if u take a cure

im gonna have to check that out too

[naive crescent]

im sure any value would work without causing problems

Well any value within a reasonable limit, id doubt exponents work xD

[rancid panther]

if im still bitten and i take a cure, i wonder if it will make me infected again. i cant uncheck IsInfected while i am bitten in debug menu at least

but when i remove the bite, i am able to uncheck it

[naive crescent]

No you would do that it could

It would be like

[rancid panther]

but maybe the cure mod already has something in place for that

it might already do that for me without me needing to do it myself

[naive crescent]

It honestly might

I dont have it installed so I cant test

[rancid panther]

i'll test rn

thats even more resource

Holy fuck dude

You just gave me the rosetta stone right here.

[ancient grail]

and i trust everyone will add on it instead of troll it

[rancid panther]

LOL
this is my test subject i guess

[ancient grail]

😅 youre welcome

[rancid panther]

thanks for all your help!

[naive crescent]

@rancid panther Earlier today I told you there isnt a dictionary for all this shit. Apperently theres something close.

[rancid panther]

lmao

[naive crescent]

Ive been playing with PZ code on a off for a year now and I have no idea why I avoided this part of the discord until today.

Dumb move on my part

[rancid panther]

yep looks like They Knew already does remove infection while keeping the bite

however, bite time is still 0, i think i need to make it its own function like i did with everything else

[naive crescent]

and the only thing thank for me being here today is the Baloney sausage

In Baloney I trust

[naive crescent]

Ya no worried man, trolling this would just be hurting one's self.

[ancient grail]

ye help me keep backups

i cant do this alone anyways

[naive crescent]

downloaded it.

Will probably through it on might off site backup as well

[ancient grail]

thnx

[ancient grail]

ah so you new to modding ? or was modding but never was socially active?

[rancid panther]

ah... im dumb. i was using the non-changed version instead of the one i edited

[ancient grail]

happens to all of us

[rancid panther]

once i set bite time to 5000 i think i'll be pretty much set with this mod

[naive crescent]

Was modding here and there, worked with a crew this time last year that was developing there own animation framework but stopped after the winter unitl this winter again. But I have a degree in Game design & Development so im new to this scene but not to coding and game development

Im a jack of all trades when it comes to my skills but I specialize in coding.

[rancid panther]

nice

i only am coding cuz i wanted an item kit trait mod that didnt give freebies for rare loot players (and ended up going overboard and making new occupations and now a bitten trait)

[ancient grail]

awsome intro glad to have you with us 🙂

[ancient grail]

hows it going with that?

yeah alot of modder says i only wanted to do some minimal stuff ended up not having to play the game ever after that

cuz of modding

[naive crescent]

PZ is my favorite game, been playing for 11 years at this point. I gotta make some real fucked scenarios to get me there these days and now at this point this mods out there arent enough.

[naive crescent]

Glad to be aboard, I cant believe how much fun ive had just interacting with this discord channel tonight.

[rancid panther]

i have a group i play with and we have been camping outside of louisville for 2 weeks. we were supposed to go in but one player has not been available and wants us to wait

[ancient grail]

like minded individuals 🙂

[naive crescent]

I have a crew too that just started up again.

But they dont play hardcore like I do

[rancid panther]

i usually mod in the dead of the night when i dont have time to play with others

[naive crescent]

the 'No Phony Bologna' mod I made today was actually me being distracted from the hardcore mods im working on

[rancid panther]

lol

[naive crescent]

Which im glad because that very very hilarious (to me) distraction I had today is why im hear because it brought me away from lua scripting whicn I can figure out into the java hardcoded which I cant do alone.

[rancid panther]

seems like boots expanded causes a break on error in debug mode that forces you to force quit the game

[naive crescent]

Yea it does

It also causes some clothing to become invisible

like a certain fire fighter jacket

not all of them just a particular one

and actually just regular vanilla jacket it fucks with too.

[rancid panther]

yea but that's with a lot of clothing mods. some of them have masks that turn chunks of the body invisible

the better ones have less masking issues

[naive crescent]

Ive never seen an issue with anyone them besides that one and I roll with pretty much alll of them besides that one

[rancid panther]

awesome. bite time works too

i guess that means my bite trait is officially working as intended

[naive crescent]

What you got left?

[rancid panther]

nothing atm. i only add if i have an idea or notice some balance issue

i got the bite idea from when someone made an occupation that gives u +10 everything and asked how to balance it lmao

and i decided to try it myself

[naive crescent]

I gotta balance vehicle spawns tomorrow which aint going to super fun.

Gonna be super monotonous

[rancid panther]

found another thing

the bandage doesnt last that long

[naive crescent]

To become a dirty bandage?

[rancid panther]

the player also gets occasional pain but i think im fine with that. makes it a negative trait even when it is cured

yeah. but i think that's fine. just replace the bandage

[naive crescent]

Yea id be careful with that one.

If youre doing a public mod it could cause conflicts

[rancid panther]

i'll look into making the bite not damage you or bleed or something. ideally i want it to be a dormant bite like if you were ellie from the last of us

just a scar

[naive crescent]

Im sure its possible

But thats probably starting to tip into the soft/hardcoded area

[rancid panther]

yea. i wanna make this as beginner friendly as possible

unless there is a statement that lets me just turn off the bleeding i dont really wanna go deep into it

[naive crescent]

Fuck that crank everything to 11 in my books

[rancid panther]

true. if i had more time i'd really dedicate myself to perfecting this

but i'd actually learn how to code lua instead. i dont have too much interest in programming in all honestly

just in the spur moments when i wanna try something

[naive crescent]

Im sure you learned a whole hell of a lot tonight

[rancid panther]

yes. i learned where to put my indentations LOL

[naive crescent]

Yea that first script I read of yours was rough

[rancid panther]

but fr thanks for everything! i'll do my best to make this mod the best i can make it

[naive crescent]

gave me an aneurism

No problem dude

Its an interesting experience for myself because Ive known how to code for a good many years now but have never had to explain it to someone before

[rancid panther]

i basically just took ppl's examples from searching this channel or copying other mods and frankensteined things together until i had something worth asking a question with

[naive crescent]

Thats how I started

When I was making my own small games

Even now I do the same thing. Ill find something thats close to what im doing and study the code and write my own version

[rancid panther]

cuz i didnt wanna ask how to do something while having nothing of my own, and was embarrassed to show something completely dysfunctional when asking for advice

so after i got basically the first 3 lines of code i asked questions from there

[naive crescent]

I felt weird when I came in here to ask my question as well.

Didnt realize how friendly everyone was going to be here.

[rancid panther]

yes

[naive crescent]

I came to ask one question which I solved within the hour and that was like 12 hours ago and ive just been here chatting and talking about code

[rancid panther]

if bite time by default is 50... and im p sure it lasts like a month in vanilla... maybe i should make it around 600 so it lasts a year?

[naive crescent]

but then every bite you would get lasts a year though

and if your bitten on your arms and forearms especially your right one your fucked

You cant swing a weapon

[rancid panther]

im pretty sure it only affects the bite on spawn

i'll give myself an arbitrary bite rn to test

[naive crescent]

oh if thats the case go for it

[rancid panther]

yeah it is just initial bite

[naive crescent]

Oh thats cool

[rancid panther]

bite time is 64

[naive crescent]

Seems like your cooking up a pretty cool mod there

[rancid panther]

this is the only trait that dpes anything special

the rest are just skills and starting items

[naive crescent]

I dont know theres cool ones out there

Big fan of lead foot

[rancid panther]

i mean on my mod

[naive crescent]

oh okay

[rancid panther]

the rest of my mod is just an occupations and traits mod using profession framework

i balanced it based on play style. so the occupations are generalist, builder, mechanic, homemaker, explorer, and brute

[naive crescent]

What do you mean play style?

Like the play style that you are intending

[rancid panther]

based on what ppl like to do in the game rather than a lore-based occupation

[naive crescent]

Ah okay

[rancid panther]

some ppl build bases, fix up cars, cook and farm, or live in the wilderness

[naive crescent]

Thats interesting

[rancid panther]

generalist is gets fast learner, and brute is just supposed to piss off everyone else in the group with useful skills in the base

so i made the brute illiterate so they cant read books to make up for lost skills

[naive crescent]

Can you chose traits yourself or is it only based on the occupation you pick

[rancid panther]

the traits are ur starting weapon and their corresponding weapon skill, and there are some secondary skill traits that let you pick a secondary skill that isnt Carpentry, Mechanics, Cooking, or Fishing

and they also have profession exclusive traits so i can lock out certain traits from occuaptions

brute cant pick pacifist or weak, etc for example. nor can it pick the traits that are applied to each profession by default

here's an example from each category

i actually was able to do these without profession framework until i wanted to add starting clothes. then i had to switch over for simplicity

but i wasnt able to do things like put items inside a bag anymore, nor was i longer able to add an upgrade to a gun the player spawned with

[naive crescent]

Thats very interesting.

Now I see why you wanted it tied into the Profeesion Framework

[rancid panther]

so the bitten trait has nothing to do with the rest of the mod. i just wanted to do that for my own amusement

[naive crescent]

Honestly I had not been paying attention to why you were doing this or where it was going I was just paying attention to the questions as they came

[rancid panther]

no prob

[naive crescent]

I didnt have time I was working on my own thing 😛

[rancid panther]

if i didnt attempt to use prof framework from the beginning for that trait i probably couldve had the answers a lot sooner

but i learned a lot from this

[naive crescent]

Im sure you did.

Its quite the project to take on for your first time.

Code structure is looking way cleaner too.

[rancid panther]

do u wanna see how it looked before?

[naive crescent]

I did see but ill see it again xD

I tried cleaning it up for you at one point but it was taking to much time.

[rancid panther]

before using prof framework

wasnt comfortable keeping it tho cuz i was basically copying someone else's mod and changing the items

[naive crescent]

So are any of these yours currently?

[rancid panther]

those are all scrapped code in a DO NOT DELETE folder

i did it in profession framework cuz i couldnt figure out how to have some things with the framework and some things without

and for consistency

so that is actually all mine

[naive crescent]

That's cool man. Really good job you've done tonight.

[rancid panther]

thank you!

[naive crescent]

Impressed honestly.

[rancid panther]

my private discord is basically full of screenshots of other ppl's examples, and to-do lists of what to do with my mod or my mod list

"add bitten trait"
then later it becomes
"add bitten trait" try again another time

[naive crescent]

Lmao.

[rancid panther]

but now it can be
add bitten trait DONE

[naive crescent]

I'm starting a private discord for mods. Working on its structure atm.

[rancid panther]

all my stuff is in general

[naive crescent]

I'm a stickler for organization so I'm working on that at the moment.

[rancid panther]

all my manga recommendations, to-dos, modding advice, and memes

i also do like organization tho. i usually learn something to do one thing only

i learned how to use spreadsheets so i can make a spreadsheet that automatically sorts through pokemon names so i can cheat on pokemon crossword puzzles

[naive crescent]

Hold off on what your typing for a second.

[rancid panther]

and i learned how to use discord integrations to use IFTTT to post instagram announcements to a club discord

a

[naive crescent]

Let's take this to DMs

[rancid panther]

it seems the bite time is pretty variable. sometimes it goes down faster. so i dont wanna set it too high or too low

[naive crescent]

It's just me and you spamming at this point.

[rancid panther]

sure, dm me. but i think im gonna head to bed soon anyway. after i update the workshop mod

[nova socket]

Since we doing that

[red tiger]

@nova socket Good work.

Although you could store getSprite() and {} in the 2nd post.

[ancient grail]

check out my FunctionalATMv2 you can take the no sledge thing if you want

I found this very nice Electron app template that I can use to build utility software. Might get back to building a script-building helper for things like item scripts.

Might look for nice bootstrap themes if that's what happens.

how do i insert entry on logs

i havent tried that

[fiery pecan]

hoo boyo. So I was fiddling with some things, and uhh...
this seems to do literally nothing :/
Also can't figure out how to make a hotbar slot always available, like the back slot

anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I can also provide more info if needed

[neon bronze]

You need a xml data for that aswell

[fiery pecan]

wait... I do?

[modern dirge]

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to replace shader files with a mod automatically, or do the files have to be manually replaced?

[neon bronze]

yep

thats from my mod you need to create a bodylocation definition and a .xml file where you describe what it as far as i know

mine is just a blank texture and doesnt show anything

[fiery pecan]

alr

thankies

i edited the fog.frag file in media/shaders and was wondering if this file can be replaced when the game is loaded so can be removed without diving into the files

Hi polt. So how do you suppose i make it work i want to clipboard all the items
For the reference on the guide i posted

[ancient grail]

It will work if you copy the folder and create own nod

Polt was trying to help you see what the error is saying... You're trying to get the length of something that doesn't have a length

[ancient grail]

Dont mess with the vanilla files u will encounter error eventually

[thick karma]

Look at where you get lengths in that snippet

[ancient grail]

Idk what it means tho
U mean the :size() ?

[thick karma]

That's one way to do it

[ancient grail]

Ok

What other things for getting length did you use above?

There is another

I need help w mod, saw it on yt and don't know name of it

[ancient grail]

#mod_support

[thick karma]

Look at line 5 in your snippet @ancient grail

[ancient grail]

Ok? So what2?

Should i tostring first?

[thick karma]

Think length

[fiery pecan]

seems the list of guides doesn't help me with this issue. Looked at AuthenticZ, they use vanilla animations.... So defining the animation won't help. The custom bodyLocations work fine for AuthenticZ too.
It's just like the blasted thing doesn't wanna work :/

[thick karma]

Tostring is not for length

[ancient grail]

[thick karma]

Print is not for length

[ancient grail]

[thick karma]

Look at your 5th line very carefully

[ancient grail]

get(i)??

[thick karma]

I'm sorry it's your 4th line

It looks like 5th on my phone

[ancient grail]

Ahhh i know now

[thick karma]

Ayyyyy

[ancient grail]

Lol # and size

[thick karma]

Yeeees

[ancient grail]

Hahaha

Dumdum

[thick karma]

You took length of a thing that was already a length

Good job

[ancient grail]

😅

[thick karma]

(good job spotting it, not doing that, lol)

(lol actual good job not sarcastic good job)

[ancient grail]

Thank you senpai

[fiery pecan]

basically my issue is there's no option to wear the belt.

I have the XMLs in place. FileGuidTable setup

if I set the bodyLocation to "back" it works fine

but then you won't be able to wear a bag with it :/

[thick karma]

I think it's measure in fractions of in-game hours

When I was playing on 0-1 minute infection time, my bite time showed up as literally 1/60th.

On the dot

@dark wedge

[ancient grail]

if the guides failed u you need to look at reference

just pick anymod

[fiery pecan]

I did

[ancient grail]

maybe the model

what is the rror

error

[fiery pecan]

I looked at how AuthenticZ did it

well

[fiery pecan]

this

literally this

it's technically a bag, not a belt

[ancient grail]

ah then define the body location

[fiery pecan]

I did

[ancient grail]

maybe you have to define it as such then

[thick karma]

Can you post your xml and a vanilla belt for comparison?

[ancient grail]

imean as inventory container idk what its called tnh

[fiery pecan]

one sec

[ancient grail]

why are you hiding it

[fiery pecan]

hiding what?

[thick karma]

And a vanilla belt item script?

[fiery pecan]

on it

[thick karma]

@fiery pecan i mean the item script as well

From the txt

In scripts

[fiery pecan]

ah

[thick karma]

My instinct at a glance says CanBeEquipped looks wrong.

[thick karma]

Oh no BodyLocation

You wrote DutyBelt but I have no idea such a location exists

[fiery pecan]

It's custom

[thick karma]

I think the body location is named Belt

Ohhh

[fiery pecan]

because "Belt" does the same thing

[cosmic condor]

the color scheme hurts my eyes

better post the text file

[fiery pecan]

here's the fanny pack script

[thick karma]

I didn't know you could make custom body locations by just declaring them in the item script

[fiery pecan]

nono

you need lua too

I think?

here's how I defined it

but then again I probably did something wrong...

[fiery pecan]

which ones you need?

[thick karma]

I wouldn't expect it to be able to know where to equip anything from that alone

How would the game know where the DutyBelt goes?

[fiery pecan]

hmm

then again

if I just use "Belt"

same thing. No option to wear

[thick karma]

Looks like the fanny pack script has ClothingItemExtraOption

[sour island]

There's a few mods that mess with body locations - should use Soul Filcher's method/API approach

[thick karma]

Does yours?

Oh no hold on I see

Fanny packs have extra equipment options nvm

Where does the game define FannyBackPack body location?

[fiery pecan]

you got any links or names to the API in question?

[sour island]

I don't know if he released it as an stand alone API but if I recall it should be in his dressing time mod

[fiery pecan]

k

[sour island]

It's something on the Todo for the community patch as well

As I understand it - when modifying body locations they have to be added in order -- so most mods overwrite the entire list

[thick karma]

Looks like here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2296517419 @fiery pecan

[fiery pecan]

k

[sour island]

I could be mistaken, but I recall someone mentioning he wrote a wrapper for it to handle multiple mods

[thick karma]

But he suggests he literally overwrites something in likely to be incompatible way, so you may wanna consider that when doing your own locations.

[sour island]

Oh?

[thick karma]

"WARNING: This mod may not be compatible with other major clothing mods that try to override body location definitions."

[sour island]

I'll have to look into decorating the java function on the Lua side sooner

Idk if that's the best approach, but that's what I'm thinking -- load the locations into a table at first

Allow for extra arguments for priority or "add after X"

[thick karma]

I have never messed with body defs sorry... Was hoping something familiar would pop out at me but I may not be able to help much on this one.

[fiery pecan]

I just don't get it

[neon bronze]

item Leather_Wallet{
        DisplayCategory = Container,
        WeightReduction = 10,
        Capacity = 5,
        Weight = 0.1,
        Type = Container,
        ClothingItem = WalletMod,
        ClothingItemExtra = Leather_Wallet,
        ClothingItemExtraOption = Wallet_WearPocket,
        DisplayName = Leather - Wallet,
        Icon = Wallet_01,
        WorldStaticModel = Wallet,
        PutInSound = PutItemInBag,
        BodyLocation = wallet,
        CanBeEquipped = wallet,
    }

this is my def for my custom wallet, you might need the ClothingItemExtra and ClothingItemExtraOption(this one is the translation of how the option should be called in the context menu, without it wont give you an option)

[fiery pecan]

but won't that show up even when worn?

[neon bronze]

you mean the option to wear it? No

[fiery pecan]

and what is this? "Wallet_WearPocket"

[neon bronze]

its the option you need to define it in the translation files

ContextMenu_Wallet_WearPocket = "Put in Pocket",

it will show up as "Put in Pocket" when you right click the wallet

without there wont be an option

[fiery pecan]

ah

[glass basalt]

Hello 👋 I am having an issue trying to find the method that allows me to remove vehicle parts. Would it be simply damage() or setCondition()?

[ancient grail]

try this... look for the part and then nill

idk if it will work

[glass basalt]

just set it to nil?

[ancient grail]

try it yeah

idk worth a shot

like

getPlayer():setPrimaryHandItem(nil)

this works

well its not deleted but lets see how vehicles react

unless someone gives you the right answer your best choice right now is to try my suggestion

[glass basalt]

seems then that vehicle:getPartById('id'):setCondition(nil) might work then. idk, i'll see

[ancient grail]

ahh

yeah youcan set the part itself

to 0

getPart():getId()

something like that

[glass basalt]

would that actually remove the part or have the part damaged and broken?

[ancient grail]

if its 0 its broken

oh yeah

[eternal garnet]

@cosmic condor I am at "ProjectZomboid\zombie\iso\objects"
and I have found "IsoCompost".

This is not the file that I am looking for as I am attempting to edit the parameters of the Composter so as to allow for it to be placed inside of a building/ indoors.

Do you have happen to know where the text file for the object is located?

Many thanks

[ancient grail]

just try it

lol

[glass basalt]

yep, brb

[fiery pecan]

does this happen to change the color or "reset" the wallet?

[neon bronze]

no

[cosmic condor]

you have to look further

[eternal garnet]

What program is that

[cosmic condor]

VS Code

[eternal garnet]

Thanks

[eternal garnet]

This is what I am getting

I imagine you configured yours?

[glass basalt]

have you worked with Java in VSCode before?

[eternal garnet]

If we are opening the same file, I don't have that option to extend it

[ancient grail]

you need the decompiled version

one of the guide links on the thread look for decompiling java

[glass basalt]

switch to the second tab like Riko's showing you. idr its name, I don't have VSCode on this machine lol

[eternal garnet]

That would be why then

[neon bronze]

how did you define your item? did you name the files correctly and put them in the right folders?

[ancient grail]

mod Resources thread

[thick karma]

Ayyyyy

Does it work?

[glass basalt]

setCondition() doesn't work but I should've known better

[ancient grail]

so its still there but its broken\

loook at the mechanics timedaction

or the admin functions

admins can naturally remove the parts right

with mechanics cheat on

i would look there

[drifting ore]

ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISUninstallVehiclePart:new(playerObj, part, time))
``` that probably get you there

ISUninstallvehiclepart

[ancient grail]

Yes just set time to 0

Probably not gona work if server sided tho not sure

[drifting ore]

nah i just meant follow it lol

[ancient grail]

Bye

Goodluck with pz tho

The syntax is changed

[glass basalt]

Funnily enough, I found a workaround, by simply not "repairing" KI5's vehicle with the armor parts, and by setting the skin index to one that has the vehicle part layout I want
I no longer need to remove parts using timed actions 🤷‍♂️
Time to update my mod

so it actualy animates the airdorop?

unfortunately not. the best that Insurgent can do is add parachute sounds, but i haven't added any of my own

[sullen jay]

hey, i see that the modding wiki is pretty barebones, where do i find more documentation?

[glass basalt]

at the moment the vehicle spawns using the debug menu

[glass basalt]

You have to explore this treacherous place
https://projectzomboid.com/modding/index.html

[sullen jay]

ah, thanks

[sullen jay]

also is modding only lua or java and lua, as i've seen the game is made in java?

[glass basalt]

its java and lua. the Lua is actually Kahlua, which is a Java interpreter of Lua, or whatever the proper terminology is

The game is built off of Java (which you cannot modify, only access), and everything is added through Lua (which you can modify)

[sullen jay]

ah, okay thanks for the clarification!

[glass basalt]

java, dude...

[thick karma]

(There are however modifier functions accessible through Java... Just to be clear, you cannot modify the code, but you can sometimes modify Java objects via the functions that are exposed to Lua.)

Also, you can decompile the Java and read it, and sometimes you can spot sneaky ways to use Lua to interrupt Java

[ancient grail]

check the threads

mod resources

[thick karma]

Example: middle of a Java function decides whether to draw an XP halo note. It requires the player to be alive for more than 1 minute. I hid these notes by temporarily setting the player's time survived to 0.

So while Java code cannot be modified, you can sometimes influence how it behaves.

[sullen jay]

okay, thanks for that wow!

[sullen jay]

interesting..., I always liked to break stuff as im working on something lol, that's how you learn

[fiery pecan]

sorry I'm late.

but basically I'm trying to convert a clothing item into a wearable container

so yes. It all checks out. Minus the wearing option

[hot patrol]

I saw this reddit post and it got me wondering. Has anyone ever thought about making a better hair growth mod? This progression looks much nicer imo. https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/10uliq7/i_made_a_realistic_hairbeard_growth_time_lapse/

maybe even add a trait or make it so if you choose bald or receading hair styles they don't grow past that point

https://tenor.com/view/ok2-gif-26077119

[glass basalt]

you would need to overwrite the "timed events" that dictate your hair & beard after a certain point, I think

the trait could be a head version of "Short-sighted" (need to always have a hat to avoid mood debuff)

[hot patrol]

[ancient grail]

i dont think time action is the right way for this

[hot patrol]

bald trait makes you more visible to zombies during the day

the shine

[ancient grail]

just ook on the game time or count the days by using day events

then just swap the hair

[glass basalt]

timed events i mean

[ancient grail]

yes

correct

[sour island]

The way hair growth works does need work but it's also alot of work too

For not much gain tbh

[ancient grail]

if you need the names of the hair

and beard

[sour island]

Every hair style would need two models to parse if the person is balding or not

[ancient grail]

#1070852229654917180 message its all here

[hot patrol]

ah, that's a shame. It's funny how many times it's the little details that require the most work.

[ancient grail]

you probably need to disable the vanilla hair growth

[sour island]

Hair growth goes down the list if I recall

The issue is specifically for bald or balding/bald spots

[zinc pilot]

asking to more experience modders: has anyone ever managed to swap between different animations for stock actions like moving\attacking?

I mean, like, switching between the vanilla ones and modded ones in real time

not just switching them out for modded ones

[ancient grail]

i dont underrstand pao sounded like the same..

[zinc pilot]

yeah sorry

[ancient grail]

what exactly do you mean

did you ment lioke not replace but another parallel

exactly

that's it

[glass basalt]

having a weird problem. If I get the player's current IsoGridSquare, assign it to a variable, modify the variable's X and Y coordinates, and assign it to a spawned vehicle, it somehow "deletes" the square the player is on, and traps them within it 🤣

how do I fix this, I am trying to make a vehicle spawn a certain amount of squares away from the player

[sour island]

If you're trying to spawn a vehicle in an unloaded square you'll have to either forcibly load it or keep the spawning in a list and spawn it when the square loads.

[glass basalt]

The square is next right to the player in the same cell

[sour island]

Vehicles also need a bit of room to spawn

[glass basalt]

with AddVehicleDebug you can spawn vehicles directly onto the player

[sour island]

You can dictate a xyz

[glass basalt]

I think my issue is that the variable is inheriting the player's square and modifying it, causing it to move and the player to disconnect from the map

[sour island]

Just do players xyz + what ever

[glass basalt]

It needs an IsoGridSquare object 😔

[sour island]

Are you sure there's no overload?

If not use getSquare(x,y,z)

[glass basalt]

I am using this function
https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/Lua/LuaManager.GlobalObject.html#addVehicleDebug(java.lang.String,zombie.iso.IsoDirections,java.lang.Integer,zombie.iso.IsoGridSquare)

I will change the variable to use GetGridSquare instead of GetCurrentSquare

apparently you can't subtract from the coordinate integers 🤦‍♂️
how do I write strings to the logger? (or comment, idk)

[sour island]

I'm not sure what you mean about subtracting coords

[glass basalt]

I would like the vehicle to spawn two squares up and four squares left of the player

If I do x + 4 and y + 2, it works as intended the other way

If I do x - 4 and y - 2 it throws an error

[sour island]

What is the error

[glass basalt]

one min, ill redo my changes

strange, now it doesn't work for any changes

Haven't had this issue before

ah, I am passing a nil parameter into my function. gonna fix that

[sour island]

local vehicle = addVehicleDebug(vehicleType, IsoDirections.getRandom(), nil, square)

Square can be getSquare(x,y,z)

Where x is getPlayer():getX()-n etc

I would also recommend rather than copy paste what I did 3 times for xyz, to store the player as a local and call getX() from that

[glass basalt]

here is what I have
`local currentSquare = player:getCurrentSquare();
-- local vehicleX = currentSquare:getX() + 2;
-- local vehicleY = currentSquare:getY() + 1;
-- local vehicleSquare = getGridSquare(vehicleX, vehicleY, currentSquare:getZ());
local vehicleSquare = getGridSquare(currentSquare:getX(), currentSquare:getY(), currentSquare:getZ());

local vehicle = addVehicleDebug("Base.74amgeneralM151A2", IsoDirections.S, nil, vehicleSquare);`

top three lines currently commented

[sour island]

What is player

What is getGridSquare() ?

[glass basalt]

player is the IsoObject for the player character, I think

getGridSquare() is what returns the IsoGridSquare object that I need

[sour island]

I mean where is player being defined

I'm not familiar with getGridSquare as the function name - are you sure that is a global?

[glass basalt]

it is a parameter being brought outside of the code, I need to dig around to find the exact object that it is

i frankly don't know what IsoGridSquare is. If I could see what the X and Y integers are, I would have an idea

it is likely the squares of a cell

[sour island]

IsoGridSquares are the tiles, yes

The issue I think you have is the global function is getSquare()

[glass basalt]

I don't see it in the java classes
https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/iso/IsoGridSquare.html

unless its the wrong class

the other methods use IsoGridSquare.getSquare, is that what I want? Or is this outdated in some form

[sour island]

The class for global functions is Lua Manager

[drifting ore]

if i use onCanPerform for a recipe. will that overwrite the entire recipe script? or will it only execute what's in the function and not overwrite something unless it's specifically affected?

[sour island]

onCanPerform can be used to hide a recipe

[drifting ore]

ishidden can also right?

my goal is to use sandbox var to set amount needed for recipe

[sour island]

If you're trying to remove recipes from the game there's a method you have to use. It was mentioned a few times here

Oh

[drifting ore]

i seen that. not doing that here

[sour island]

You can use scriptManager to mess with recipes

[drifting ore]

i looked into recipecode.lua but it's just not clear on how to adjust the amount needed

unless im blind

[sour island]

Not home at the moment but you can check out recipe stuff in expanded Helis github

ow you not at home yet ok sorry to disturb you with dm

[glass basalt]

ah okay, I see the global function now. uses doubles though, strange

AHA I got it working now. Thank you for the help, I didn't consider that I was calling a function that is out of scope

[naive crescent]

Good day everyone, I once again am asking for your assistance but not about scripting question its about workflow optimization. I feel like im loosing a ton on time during iterating and testing. I know you can reload lua files at runtime in debug but when im testing things like spawn rate I'm constantly quitting out and starting a new game so I can see how changes im making behave. So im curious if theres anything that could speed this process up. Something I have done to make the workflow less monotonous is I've created some macros; one that that from the main menu when activated will go from that menu all the way through the process of starting the new game in a custom sandbox options.

[bronze yoke]

you can mess with spawn rates in the debug console and then call ItemPickerJava.Parse()

[naive crescent]

What would that do exactly?

Also how you mess with spawn rates in the debug console

[bronze yoke]

if you're testing spawn rate, it lets you live update the spawn rates so you won't have to restart the game every time

[naive crescent]

I havent played with the console at all yet

[bronze yoke]

it's just a lua terminal

[naive crescent]

Would I be able to just call a method name alone in it?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

you just write lua code in there as normal

[naive crescent]

I mean if I had a script with a method like

Example()
do X

would I be able to only write Example() in the console and have it execute its logic

[bronze yoke]

yeah, if the function is global

something to keep in mind if you write full code into it is that every console 'message' is its own scope - locals won't be shared or anything

[naive crescent]

Alright, thanks for the tip. In my case I'm actually doing vehicle spawn rates. Is restarting a new world the best way about doing it or is there a way I can reset chunks from the console?

[bronze yoke]

ohhh that might be different

[naive crescent]

I had a feeling.

[bronze yoke]

there's probably a similar method, but ItemPickerJava won't be relevant, of course

[naive crescent]

I knew when you mentioned it it wasn't going to help me but I wanted to see where you were going with that incase I needed that information in the future.

[ancient grail]

Did you know the debug has a search bar for reloading stuff? Some veterwn modere didnt knew that when i showed them its kinda surprising but then again its not really obvious

[naive crescent]

You talking about the one on the right where all the scripts that are loaded into the game?

[ancient grail]

Yes

[naive crescent]

Yea I knew about that

Super useful

Thanks y'all. Will be a bit longer now since I'm messing with the unarmed stuff too a bit.

[naive crescent]

Thats why I asked this workflow question was to get game changers like that

[dark wedge]

Not sure what you mean by "sheet animation"?

[naive crescent]

If I were to start a new game and then edit the vehicle spawn rates at run time they would apply to any unloaded chunk correct?

[flat berry]

[drifting ore]

i know i sound like a broken record at this point... but honestly man i love that you don't rush to drop your stuff. sign of good quality control, and is appreciated....

[thick karma]

@rancid panther If you add your traits in lua/client they will not show up correctly during certain client-server interactions. Specifically the Check Stats page will not show traits that a client has if the traits were only added in clientside code, and the traits may even later disappear from characters who have them as a result of the mismatch.

They need to be in lua/shared.

A proper traders with lore and shite

[thick karma]

You mean like NPC traders?

[nova socket]

Visually yeah, not AI based thou

[thick karma]

Makes sense, so you plan to have pseudo-NPCs that set up shops and such? Have you looked at Shops & Traders or Noir's Shops?

Btw is this gonna be multiplayer compat?

[nova socket]

First one is not NPC-based no lore, just admin/player setup. Its more like a trading post I seen somewhere around
Noir's shops has a nice UI and idea, but different from how I want to achieve currency rotation.

[nova socket]

Yeah, no sense otherwise

I'm going for currency as physical (item-based) concept you can acquire roaming the world most unexpected places to loot.

[thick karma]

Word. So are you going to have player shops as well as NPC shops?

[nova socket]

Nah, not players shops, might be later on as extension but I think there is plenty of such already.

[thick karma]

Word. How do you plan for the loot they sell to be determined?

I know player shops are generally designed by the player obv... I don't know how Noir does NPC shops tbh.

[nova socket]

I wanna look into writing/reading some JSON-like content from mod itself, so not to tie it to sandbox options or something

I seen people being doing that successfully

As for shop distribution its pretty much gonna be up to admin settings

[thick karma]

So would that be managable by the server admin? Or determined by you?

[true vault]

My next question
What's the function to return if player is male/female character?

[nova socket]

Random of N, full sets, etc.

[nova socket]

My plan is to make it 100% configurable

[bronze yoke]

player:isFemale()

[nova socket]

I'll throw some deets as soon as I'm sure myself about them @thick karma

Currency mod is around the corner thou. Just cleaning up

[thick karma]

Sounds intriguing. I am curious because I am planning to do gamepad support for at least one trading mod. I was mostly looking at Player Shops and Trading because I know Chuck is around a lot and Noir disabled comments on the workshop page iirc.

If you and Chuck are covering entirely different niches I might want to look into what you're doing when you make more progress, because if it's lit enough I will probably consider doing support for that, too.

[nova socket]

Sure

[thick karma]

I did gamepad support for the vanilla trade menu just recently. You can see the implementation in Wookiee Gamepad Support. May want to consider the options available before you design rather than after.

Linear connections and minimalism in the shortcut buttons will be ideal, to put it simply. Inventory panel based context options are good for making sure everyone can access the necessary functions.

[nova socket]

where do you get all the sprites for world objects?

[ancient grail]

If you try to search noir with @
It will generate multiple results

[true vault]

Thank you! ❤️

[thick karma]

I am aware. It's a very popular word. It's entirely possible none of them is the right Noir.

[ancient grail]

Perhaps

Add him on steam

Try

[thick karma]

Pretty sure he does not want that

[ancient grail]

Ok

[thick karma]

If he wanted to be randomly contacted by users of his mods, he would not disable comments.

[thick karma]

?

[tame mulch]

Maybe you find some mistakes or will have ideas what need to add

[thick karma]

I see I see

[naive crescent]

Once we finally get the NPC builds I cant wait to see what the mods come up with.

[ancient grail]

Installing mod is irrelevant for modder so im skipping that

[tame mulch]

Work in progress 🙂

[ancient grail]

Can you link a zip of all folders vanilla on the mod_structure

[naive crescent]

Ive notice a few pages like that

[ancient grail]

Just folders nothing else
Cuz the modtemplate sucks

Of all the things to give as example

Someone decided map

Perhaps a recipe and item script with a custom module

[bronze yoke]

on the mod structure page you say lua files in server folder only execute on the server, server folder executes on any

[tame mulch]

Hmmmm

[ancient grail]

Yes tried and tested for me too

Server execute client stuff too

[bronze yoke]

server doesn't execute the client folder

[ancient grail]

Mod_problems solution

Verify files

[naive crescent]

I dont know if its been said but 'Mod problems solutions' I dont see any talking about checking load orders

[ancient grail]

Guide them how to do so

[naive crescent]

Some mods require them

[tame mulch]

You mean map load order?

[ancient grail]

Warning should be disclaimer instead

Warning quotes danger

Disclaimer is just you should know that

[naive crescent]

Theres a few mods ive seen that are not maps that mention they need to be loaded last

[tame mulch]

But player can't change load order

[ancient grail]

They can

[tame mulch]

Only in Host

[ancient grail]

On the ini file

Yes but prett much the guide should speak to all server owners too right

Anyways thank you for your hard work sir aiteron

We appreciate it just so u know

[naive crescent]

Really nice to see the guide being fleshed out.

[fast galleon]

maybe this is v42 spoiler?

[sour island]

I have a test suite printing stuff from host and connections in respect to server-code and client-code -- these are the terms I've been using to help keep what's being discussed clear. Hosts run only server code, but connections run both. You can even juggle stuff in such a way that even in MP clients are running the server code. I've only been able to do this when shared is involved.

If there isn't a reason for connections to be running server-code then it was maybe an oversight or related to how SP works

This is something modders should be aware of if they use Events.x.Add() in shared

adding Events.OnTick.Add() in shared will run both

These tests were conducted through the main menu hosting - so I don't know how it is different to other connections joining in.

[faint jewel]

anyone seen @umbral echo lately?

[fast galleon]

Check logs for errors

You need to go the zomboid folder: usually on Windows it's
%UserProfile%\Zomboid

There you will find the console.txt file which has your most recent logs. For server / host there's also coop-console.txt. Most errors can be found by searching for "Stack Trace or "Severe". Older logs can be found in the Logs folder, DebugLog.txt with date and time.

Usually you can see which mod causes the issue when you find the top error, you should test if this happens when only that mod is enabled (no mods for vanilla) to see if it's a compatibility issue. Report the issue with all relevant info and the uncropped stack trace.

*If the game gets stuck loading, starting host is interrupted or stuck, then check the last lines of the logs.

Check pins in #mod_support

#selfpins error logs

[sour island]

I feel like there was a pin with that info on it - but I guess it got scrubbed

[fast galleon]

yes, #mod_support message

[true vault]

It has an issue with "get" for some reason. Only on 4 items though; it removes all the others, but not the belt, shoes, socks, and water bottle... removes backpack, key ring, etc... lolz

[fast galleon]

I think it's good info for the wiki

[sour island]

it is

[fast galleon]

you need reverse iteration maybe

for inv:size(), 1, - 1 do

[true vault]

hmm, alright I'll try that then and see, thanks :3

[sour island]

What's ISRemoveItemTool ? 😮

[fast galleon]

I think it's the debug tool for removing items.

[sour island]

I wrote something to deal with syncing issues and MP

I'm curious if it's similar

Oh it's a window

[true vault]

For whatever reason, that seems to have done it lmao

Thank you! ❤️

[sour island]

probably has to do with the list changing size as you remove stuff

[naive crescent]

What was it used for anything I particular?

or just for performance

[sour island]

For my shop code to prevent duplications

[naive crescent]

Oh okay

[sour island]

ISRemoveItemTool.removeItem has some extra stuff - I might switch to it

[true vault]

Oh, that's fair; I guess that makes sense, though if it's pulling an instance of a list, the variable shouldn't change in value after the list is stored, should it?

Or am I think too much about how lists and arrays work in every other language, versus Lua just... doesn't work the same? lolz

[sour island]

that's a java array to be clear

Lua tables maintain size but collapse up-to the last non nil entry

[fast galleon]

@ albion#0123 ? , literacy mods. Please don't block rereading recipe books...

Question lads, I am trying to make a small mod that changes the gun sounds of GWP to the Vanilla ones.

I am trying to make a doParam but so far no luck

I hate the file in media/lua/shared
and its this

[bronze yoke]

i don't think my mod does this?

[austere forum]

hello, im really, really new into lua and scripts, and i wanted to know if there is a guide or a quick explanation on how to make weapon mods, like, i wanna know what are the script lines to determine which Aim skill is good to be able to use the weapon comfortably, like if i have 1 aim skill i wont hit nothing but if i have 2 aim skill i will, if anyone helps it would be awesome!

[fast galleon]

that's why I didn't ping you. I know the other mod did it. Sometimes players are not able to get new recipes and this was the cause with the last person who had the issue.

[stone garden]

can anyone make an mod for me ? im an long time waiting i got an cool idea

[sour island]

My starting rate is $25, +$50 for each "system". Idk if that's steep or cheap.

[stone garden]

where i live that is like 50$ is the entire salary

i cant bruh

[weak sierra]

ur not gonna find someone to pay for a mod then

takes hours and frustration to make one

if ur idea is good nuff maybe someone will like it enough to do it 🤷‍♀️

[fast galleon]

Learn to make mods, maybe find better job with that knowledge.

[ancient grail]

whos that

[faint jewel]

an old school homie.

[ancient grail]

this is making me dizzy

[ancient grail]

its not

[ancient grail]

wait another 100days
and youre not doing it effectivly you have to spam like every 10mins

[sour island]

Yes, modders don't work unless they're verbally abused

You're being too considerate of other's time

[ancient grail]

He joined various mod server in search of luck
But non thus far
Guy has no shame whatsover

" Been waiting 100 days " like someone entitled him

Modders work hard dude dont treat us like your magic wand or something

[humble oriole]

So, I'm removing items from a container from the server side, and I call

sendObjectChange("containers") after then do
ISInventoryPage.renderDirty = true on the client side

But, if I don't reload the inventory window in the game, manually, the next items I place in the inventory just get deleted. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this :/

[ancient grail]

            if isClient() then --and not instanceof(item:getOutermostContainer():getParent(), "IsoPlayer") and item:getContainer():getType()~="floor" then
            toSell:getContainer():removeItemOnServer(toSell);
            end
            toSell:getContainer():DoRemoveItem(toSell);
            getPlayerLoot(0):refreshBackpacks()
            ISInventoryPage.renderDirty = true

heres what i did

without the toSell:getContainer():removeItemOnServer(toSell);

it respawn when login back in

[humble oriole]

well, the only items that respawn are the items that were "lost" when the inventory didn't refresh

[ancient grail]

[humble oriole]

it'd be almost better if we could just force a refresh of the inventory UI elements

[ancient grail]

same thing that im dealing

[humble oriole]

biowastecontainer:Remove(item)

this works for me, but, I'm forcing them to do an action

and all the backend stuff is happening via a servercommand

[ancient grail]

i integrated atmv2 with chucks shops and traders mod.. but when we did that part where it exchange directly to wallet data money it doesnt push thrue chuck said its there but not refreshin

[humble oriole]

I thought .renderDirty was supposed to do it, but it doesn't seem to actually refresh the UI just call for the UI to need to be refreshed or something

[ancient grail]

whats the force action?\

yeah

idk

[humble oriole]

I make them right click on it

[rancid panther]

do you keep a copy of your mod in your workshop folder, or only put them in there when you want to update the workshop mod? cuz if im subscribed to my own mod with the same mod id it seems to pull from two places at once and cause errors

or load incorrectly

at least when i update a mod and during the time period it hasnt updated on workshop yet

[drifting ore]

just create another folder

not sure what others do

[thick karma]

@rancid panther

1. Remove your workshop item from your testing server.
2. Unsubscribe from your mod.
3. Restart Zomboid.
4. Add your workshop item to your Mods section of your testing server (not via Workshop Items).

[drifting ore]

that issue was the bane of my existence for a week lolol

i have a "pre-workshop" folder

yea burryaga give exact advice of what to do

[rancid panther]

i have my mod in my mod folder, and a version for when im testing changes, and another copy in my workshop folder

all with different mod ids

[sour island]

Check the pinned comment regarding this - might help you

[thick karma]

And, yes, I keep all of my in-development mods in Workshop once v1 is live. Sometimes I do early testing in Zomboid/mods, but anything serious is in Zomboid/Workshop.

@rancid panther

[drifting ore]

see instruction # 2 from them 🙂

[thick karma]

Not necessary.

[sour island]

I've still not figured out a way to deal with returning to development after playing though - right now I just make it a point to unsub my own mods

[thick karma]

I have 1 copy of my mods in Workshop. When I need to make updates, I unsub. If you need a backup, make a backup.

[rancid panther]

atm im just not subscribed to my mod so i have no issues

[sour island]

Yes but if you want to play your in progress mods will cause problems

hence setting up a development cache folder

[rancid panther]

but last night when i was updating it willy nilly, it did have issues until i unsubscribed

anyways, was just wondering how other ppl dealt with it. thanks!

[sour island]

np - as mod lists are a thing I'm hoping it would be possible to separate which directory they're in

would help deal with not having to unsub

[copper sleet]

Is there a way to find errors or conflictions? (Sorry I'm new to modding PZ)

[humble oriole]

I just change the modid of the testing mods and only copy over the media folder to the workshop mod with the correct id for prod.

[copper sleet]

I've got this SIXIS black market trader mod that refuses to let me place the vending machines but the machines work when they're in my inventory. So was looking to see if it could be a load order issue and how to find the load order error

[humble oriole]

The later the mod is in the modid list the higher the priority.

Which is only to say if two mods have the same file in the same folder the later mod overwrites the earlier mod

[copper sleet]

So I should be working backwards? Maps at the end and quality of life at the start?

And should the Mod ID and workshop ID be in that same order?

Again I apologise for the questions, this is new territory for me

[humble oriole]

We do tiles and maps first then QOL, but mods SHOULD be written in a way that order DOESN’T matter, with the exceptions of requirements which is different

[humble oriole]

Well, let me know if you make any headway on this, I’m going to be poking at it a bit, and may have to do goofy things with the inventory.

[drifting ore]

askin in the right area will get you better results also. since you are mod user and not developer. #mod_support is better option since you will be more likely to find users that encountered your same experience

[sick umbra]

Does anyone knows how to make a gun shoot faster than "RecoilDelay = 0"?

[cosmic condor]

try reducing ReloadTime and AimingTime in debug mode

[sick umbra]

It didn't work, do you know zomboid's tick rate?

[cosmic condor]

hmm

edit item value in debug mode and test if it's fast enough for you

I used to modify a revolver so that it shoots like a machine gun

[sick umbra]

how?

its because I wanna make the weapons I'm modding to shoot faster than the highest firerate available and I don't know if it's possible to do that in a simple way. Because what I'm thinking now is I'd need to get the zombies in the line of fire and make a pseudo-shooting multiple bullets

[cosmic condor]

checked it's RecoilDelay and AimingTime

[bronze yoke]

are you using a custom animation?

weapon timings are heavily tied to their animations

[sick umbra]

oh, I think it was that, I was testing with the vanilla weapons... with a custom firearm without animations it was shooting faster, thanks

[sour island]

I don't recall, can you require server files from shared?

[sour island]

ah that would explain that

[drifting ore]

konijima to the rescue lol.

[sour island]

I moved my flare system to server as part of my 'true serverside' update

but recipe stuff seems to be done in shared as per vanilla

Guess I can't module it :<

I guess I could load it in onboot instead

[naive crescent]

item Tshirt_DefaultDECAL_TINT this is shirt that has the color picker right?

Im sure it is but I want to clarify.

[vast nacelle]

Is there a nice list for which encoding to use for each language's translation files?

[drifting ore]

am i crazy or isn't there a universal one? UTF-8 or something like that. unless there is some very specific languages or something i'm missing.

[vast nacelle]

I've gotten comments before saying UTF-8 doesn't display Cyrillic and Latin languages correctly.

[drifting ore]

i'm interested to hear on this because that would mean some of my schooling was wrong. (which i don't doubt) LOL

but i was under the impression it absolutely cover Cyrillic and Latin

if you find out, outside of here, can you report back please?

[vast nacelle]

Will do.

[bronze yoke]

there was a guide to them on the wiki

[cosmic condor]

for some languages not listed on the wiki, you can check the encoding in the language.txt file
steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\shared\Translate\XX\language.txt

[cunning canyon]

Trying to test out my mod in multiplayer using the "Host" option on the main menu. Where is that option pulling mods from? I keep getting "File does not exist on server" errors

[drifting ore]

if doing nosteam then it would be user\zomboid\mods

[cunning canyon]

I should have mentioned I'm doing this on MacOS. Believe I figured it out though, you have to go into the Project Zomboid.app which is funny to me but whatever

[nova socket]

So which sounds are transmitted over network, there are few kinda.
So who hears IsoPlayer:playSound() and getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound() ?

[drifting ore]

thinking of building a mod, i want to change the multiplier rate at which frozzen foods rot. (normal 25X) ive never touched zomboid moding before. does this sound like a thing that is doable with the modding system? or is stuff like that hardcoded into the game in such a way that it cant be alterd via the mods.

[weak sierra]

you can make an autopatcher for that

but it's not the simplest thing to start with

you could also make it manually item by item, with either DoParam or overrides

a heuristic for what spawns frozen though im not sure how doable that is

i guess anything that spawns in a freezer rather than a fridge would work

so u'd wanna crawl the distribution tables

and anything that spawns in a freezer and is rottable

modify the lifespan of it with DoParam

[ancient grail]

They are saying its fixed

[ancient grail]

Modify thee xml

[drifting ore]

is there no way to directly change the way in which freezing itself works?

or is freezing's effect on rot time dictated by stats assigned to individual items?

[weak sierra]

it works by time elapsed being applied when a player accesses the item

and it uses a value on each individual item

i am not sure if the freezing system is in lua or java, if it's in lua then maybe you could patch it at a higher level

[ancient grail]

Spawn the audio on the square

[weak sierra]

im goin to bed, gl

[ancient grail]

Goodnight

[weak sierra]

gn glytch

[ancient grail]

Ihavent left looked into freezing stuff but you might need want to start on something easier than to hop in some complex idea for your first mod

[humble oriole]

with that RemoveItemFromServer line?

[ancient grail]

Without that the stuff you delete comes back when you relogin

You can try it without then logout login

Then add that line before you actually delete the stuff

[nova socket]

So only square is transmitted over network or?

[ancient grail]

Ammm idk but thats what i use

Probably something else
Like if the player is the emiter

Only time i used player as emitter was for chainsaw. The rest i use square

[stiff furnace]

Hello! Has anyone messed with setBumpType/getBumpType? I am trying to find all the possible strings that could go with it
