[wheat kraken]

there is an easy way to replace text input ISTextBox entry
to combo input?

[autumn garnet]

Hey, you can try : https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2760035814

[wheat kraken]

thanks :))

[thick karma]

@wheat kraken Just FYI, the only mod I know that uses Simple UI Library has a bugged UI. When you hide your UI, its child panels will not display correctly.

I am not sure if it's because the author implemented Simple UI in a problematic way or if Simple UI has a problematic implementation.

It may be worth the extra hour to simply learn to use ISPanels or ISPanelJoypads correctly for whatever you want to do... but it depends what you want to do.

My friend just posted a simple example recently of how to use the ISPanels to display text on a background centered in your screen. Not sure about your long-term goals, but it can get you started if you look at the code to see how it works. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2925734630

[wheat kraken]

I try the simple ui, got some result

but try again using vanilla ISTextBox (from Rename Bag) i got it
i create

local options = {"1","2","3"}
local modal = ISTextBox:new(0, 0, 280, 180, "NAME", bag:getName(), nil, MyClass.onEditBagClick, player, getSpecificPlayer(player), bag);

comboentry = ISComboBox:new(150, 0, 100, 18, target, MyClass.onChange, comboentry);

comboentry:initialise()
    for i,v in pairs(options) do
        comboentry:addOption(options[i])
    end    
--get current pos of text input
    comboentry:setX(modal.entry:getX())
    comboentry:setY(modal.entry:getY())
--insert my combo
    modal:addChild(comboentry)
--remove the old one
    modal:removeChild(modal.entry)

and works

it creates a window near from clicked item, with ok and cancel button, but replace text input to combo with predefined options input

and take action when change value onChange (not usage ok button)

ok can trigger onEditBagClick
if want to

[autumn garnet]

Burryaga for open or close the UI with simple UI just need to do : NameUI:Open() or NameUI:Close()

But MrBounty are not longer in pz modding sadly 😦

[thick karma]

That's standard in vanilla, except you would use camel case for functions.

ISPanel:open() and ISPanel:close() are often used in vanilla ISPanels

[hardy pier]

Anyone familiar with the "More Maps" mod? I've made something but I don't actually know how to contribute to a github page

[thick karma]

My problem with Simple UI has nothing to do with whether it has nice function names, however... I am only concerned it may have implementation issues, so I figured I'd warn Reifel

[autumn garnet]

Yes but i think the goal of MrBounty its to show a easy way to make panel because when he made the mod , the panel system was very mysterious for a lot a people

I will take a loot to the example of your friend ! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[thick karma]

For sure, 100%. The panel system is not trivially easy to learn. Granted.

[autumn garnet]

Maybe One (dream) day we will get a HTML / Javascript UI system

[thick karma]

Yeah, I would just test your Simple UI mod along the way with the vanilla UI-hiding function @wheat kraken

Just periodically try using it while the player is in no-UI mode.

A proper UI will be able to show up while everything is hidden, but the child panels of "The Only Cure but better" do not show up correctly this way.

I am suspicious that the use of Simple UI could be related.

I think "V" is the default shortcut for this.

(Does not work if you're in a car.)

[autumn garnet]

Cut hand or drive... you need to choose 🤣

[wheat kraken]

i was trying to reuse Rename window, keep window near item clicked

instead create my own ui or panel

this was my solution, for replace existing elements on any existing window

(copy positions, remove child, create your own using old pos, add my child at same pos of old one)
solved for me

[hardy pier]

if I were making a map of the entire game that can be used to navigate but doesn't reveal anything to the UI map... should I include all the random dirt roads, or just the main paved roads?

[thick karma]

Optional

[wheat kraken]

thanks for the infos Dane and Burryaga

[thick karma]

No worries

Good luck!

[autumn garnet]

If the way is just for replace a existing panel with buttons, the best solution it's Burryaga solution ^^

My solution is good if you want make a new panel without be crazy or lose hair at the end 🤣

[thick karma]

Again, I don't even know for sure that Simple UI is the issue. Just warning R to test an edge case I've seen go wrong in association with that dependency.

[nova socket]

Is it better to base your UI of Simple UI API to later expand it internally to do some more complex things later? Or it will be dragging me down?

[fallow sinew]

all i want for a mod is a mod that adds a doom disc capable to be inserted in a computer and that we can play it INSIDE project zomboid

[undone elbow]

How to override only one hand model, e.g. for left hand?
This doesn't work and disables the model for the right hand:

self:setOverrideHandModels(nil, self.item);

[faint jewel]

equip the item to secondary?

or

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/characters/IsoGameCharacter.html#secondaryHandModel

[undone elbow]

overrideSecondaryHandModel
This is a field. Is it possible to change it from Lua?

[faint jewel]

not sure, but it's what i found?

anything secondary hand is the left

[undone elbow]

I found a workaround.

[faint jewel]

oh?

[inner blade]

How hard is it to make a mod that adds recolors along with existing ones?

[cosmic condor]

difficulty is subjective

What do you want to recolor? If it's just a retexture, then it's quite easy

[inner blade]

Well lets just say for example, a pair of overalls, which are blue. Would it be difficult to add a black variant that can spawn along side the blue one without creating issues?

[ancient grail]

Hi guys 🙂 sup

[cosmic condor]

good morning

[ancient grail]

Gmorning to you too 🙂

[cosmic condor]

for me, the easiest way is to make a completely new item

so that you won't mess up the vanilla one

[ancient grail]

@tame mulch hello sir .. will it ever be possible to have an rcon command that restarts server? They say it has to be done externally but idk might be possible ? ? ?

[cosmic condor]

Yes, just copy the vanilla code and change its name, recolor the texture, and you've got a new item

[inner blade]

Simple enough

[tame mulch]

Good morning! In game not possible start restart the server. Only by external programm

[inner blade]

Was just curious because I saw that mass varsity jacket recolor mod and wanted to add more variety in colors.

[ancient grail]

Right.. thnx for the lightning fast response . Looks like you havent slept yet

[inner blade]

Since like, there's like only 4 colors for like the lumberjack shirt.

[ancient grail]

Try tint

[cosmic condor]

You can even create a TINT item to let the player choose their own color

[ancient grail]

You will just need 1 item which is white color

I havent tried it tho... I only messed with hair dye

[inner blade]

But would that make it so it would spawn in the map/on zombies as a random color?

[cosmic condor]

I don't like TINT item though since some color look bad lol

I would prefer Red Shoes, Black Shoes rather than Shoes

[inner blade]

Eh, I'm not that experienced with Lua but thanks for the info. Probably eventually will try and mod for PZ again.

[tame mulch]

Yep) 7 hours in row working on guide

[quasi kernel]

Id be happy to teach you the basics sometime.

Kahlua, which Zomboid uses, is a bit different - but for the most part it's still Lua.

Only thing you gotta worry about is the funny Java instances.

[inner blade]

I've made a mod before. More Colored Screwdrivers specifically but doesn't have mod support for a lot of mods for other screwdrivers. So that kinda flopped.

[cosmic condor]

I can't even tell what is Kahlua or Java. 😹

[quasi kernel]

Other mods use other screwdrivers?

Or are you saying mods that use screwdrivers didn't account for your custom ones?

[inner blade]

Yeeee

I.E lockpicking, better mechanics.

Those ones.

[quasi kernel]

Ah.. yeah I think those mods might be using the hard coded vanilla screwdriver.

Which is kinda pleh, someone oughta patch it to use the tag.

Really I'd make a whole mechanics API for this type of stuff to fix a bunch of discrepancies in Mechanics for hard-coded items but I'm lazy and I have my doubts people would use it

[cosmic condor]

just take a peek, you created completely new items, which is my preferred method

but may not good for tools lol

[quasi kernel]

Unfortunately.

[inner blade]

That's why I haven't touched the mod I made after getting it uploaded. If I knew lua better and having a better understand on how to make mods compaitable I'd be all over PZ modding lol.

[quasi kernel]

That's the thing - mod compatibility is really.. dependant on what you're trying to do.

If it's a small mod, sometimes you can get away with just changing a single function a bit.

Other times, more in-depth things require manual patches.

[weak sierra]

if it's recipes then you can swap to using the recipe functions

then all modded screwdrivers that are tagged properly will be picked up

[quasi kernel]

Farming is one thing that struggles a lot in the compatibility department because if even one mod overrides the same thing as another, you can break everything very easily.

[weak sierra]

u cud use them from lua too

[quasi kernel]

And that's because a lot of the farming code wasn't really made with scalability in mind from what I've seen.

[inner blade]

I know my main thing that I see being a minor pet peeve is lack of variety in items. Color wise mainly. Maybe some quality of life changes to. I know easy packing was like a top one for me to use but it's heavily outdated and or not being worked on.

[weak sierra]

ex

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],```

[inner blade]

Just kinda depends on what I want to try and dip in more.

[weak sierra]

u can do [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Screwdriver]

or in lua you can reference that directly

[quasi kernel]

Udderly they're talking about stuff like mechanics I think.

[weak sierra]

when it specifically comes to items in known categories like this

[quasi kernel]

Screwdriver gets screwy there since it's not using tags to my knowledge.

[weak sierra]

id expect it to by now

:p

other tools all seem to

[quasi kernel]

We expect things but sometimes those things don't happen

[inner blade]

At least not yet

[vast nacelle]

iirc, Vehicle Mechanics would need a Java-side update to support tags.
So vehicle repair is stuck with hardcoded tools and tool mods are left out in the cold.

[weak sierra]

patch vehicle repair then 🤷‍♀️

it's in lua

[quasi kernel]

You also gotta consider that patching vehicle repair would likely cause it's own incompats unless people adopted the patch

Which is a headache

[inner blade]

But I'll have to get the files for the mod to jog my memory back on it. Since it was like, really simple stuff besides the dis stuff.

I hated the dis

[weak sierra]

might just be able to do a wrapper but yeah it might be incompat with other mods that fuck with vehicle repair like VRO

idk

depends on how they work

[quasi kernel]

Depends on how deep in the code the screwdriver change is tbh

If it's surface level then yeah a patch should be a piece of cake

If it's deeper than that, it becomes problematic.

I love watching tiny things be nested in massive functions!!

[vast nacelle]

Yeah. I'd hate having to overwrite a 50+ line of code function just to change one line. Cause then you take ownership of all that code, making sure it is up to date and working.

[weak sierra]

that's why wrappers are preferable

[quasi kernel]

Yeeeup

[weak sierra]

local original = Whatever.Something

[quasi kernel]

Sometimes a wrapper just doesn't work for some of these things though, not without some really weird crap going on.

[weak sierra]

yeah it depends on what it is

but it usually is doable

[quasi kernel]

Usually

[inner blade]

These are to many things my brain does not understand. Yet I understand source coding.

[weak sierra]

ive programmed for nearly 20 years dont beat urself up :P

[quasi kernel]

I was very happy when Fishing turned out to be really simple to edit and permit magnet fishing for

I've programmed for 7 almost all exclusively in Lua, it happens.

[inner blade]

Fair enough.

[weak sierra]

got more lua experience than i lol

[quasi kernel]

Lua is weird but it's my home language, so even if people call it garbage I will die on this hill.

[inner blade]

Source is garbage imo

[quasi kernel]

I haven't touched source but I've heard horror stories from Valve developers themselves.

Funny vidya go brr

[inner blade]

I've had like 5-6 years of source modding.

It's

...pain

[quasi kernel]

We talking GMod stuff or?

Then again, GMod to my knowledge is also mostly Lua.

[inner blade]

TF2, and Gmod mostly

[quasi kernel]

Oh fun

I've heard TF2 is a lotta spaghetti

[inner blade]

It's confusing at first but it's not all that bad when you really get into it.

[quasi kernel]

Well hey, if you can conquer that, Zomboid isn't too too bad either. It definitely has it's.. moments.. but it's workable.

[inner blade]

We'll see. Wonder if I could get my mod compatible with others but I'll look into later.

[quasi kernel]

Yeye! Just keep your spirits up. All else fails, I'm sure you can get away with other tools being modified.

Stuff like scissors I don't think are really used outside crafting, so you could likely get some benefit there.

[inner blade]

It really only should be recolors really. So copy pasting but with different names.

For the most part I think

[sour island]

Is there a mod that shows the holes or inspect stats of clothes in the tooltip? Could have sworn I saw it - but I might make it

[weak sierra]

i.. think there is?

same feeling.

[quasi kernel]

Only one I can guess is maybe ExtraSauce QoL

[inner blade]

Try Expanded Clothing

[sour island]

Doesnt seem to be it

[sage stirrup]

hello

[quasi kernel]

Howdy!

[sage stirrup]

can i ask something for not about mod?

[quasi kernel]

I mean, if it's moreso a vanilla thing then I'm sure people in #pz_b42_chat would be happy to help.

[sage stirrup]

i find reference of connect to zomboid server db,,,

with node.js

[quasi kernel]

I can't say I understand entirely, apologies.

Perhaps someone else here will understand better than I-

[sage stirrup]

thank you

[cosmic condor]

are you mixing these two?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883603166

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1922750845

[sour island]

nah, I faintly recall seeing someone on astream hover over a clothing item and see the holes

or maybe it was a thought that occurred to me

[quasi kernel]

Perhaps something that came up in a dream! Destiny perhaps?

[sour island]

maybe

[cosmic condor]

I never seen or heard of it

[sage stirrup]

i find reference of connect to zomboid server db with node.js
for example, i want make a web page about my zomboid dedicated server, then i want get data from zomboid server
plz, who know about this process, tell to me....
sorry, my English is very slow and clumsy.
have a good day everyone

[cosmic condor]

maybe like this? https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/zomboid

[sage stirrup]

It's similar, but is there any way to access in-game information?

[cosmic condor]

that's very advanced, out of my scope

[sage stirrup]

sorry, and thanks you

[weak sierra]

might have been that one mod that lets you auto-patch clothign

[sour island]

Current draft

Going to have to see about deriving garment window to make a ispanel version

really dont want to copy and paste it all

[drifting ore]

thats pretty sick

[drifting ore]

has anyone modded this out? or optional? im the host, its just me and my friends.

its a dedicated server tho if that matters at all

[sour island]

I was able to derive then replace the functions calling collapsableWindow

Kind of hate how off the right side goes

also is the texture not showing holes anymore?

[drifting ore]

going off to the right allows you to read the items themselves when you are moving around the inv though. unless you had another idea on how to still provide readability while moving around the inventory. unless you increased the delay for the window to appear or something, then i guess it would matter less

[sour island]

I mean aesthetically it looks off

[ancient grail]

#mod_support 🤣

hahaha

[tulip quarry]

Old old post revival, can anyone tell if it's ok to remove vehicle recycler and swap it out for repair overhaul midgame?

[cosmic condor]

this one is feasible

should be vanilla

like when you pick up the clothes, you should know whether it has any holes

[nova socket]

Another morning, another day for the mods.

[glass basalt]

I have a crazy idea. Is it possible to combine the radio & TV item interfaces into one? I want to add pocket TVs to the game.

[cosmic condor]

not sure what you mean. do you have a visual presentation?

[ancient grail]

i wanted to replace the godmode

making players able to target me

but i want to also die

cuz i added

    end
end
Events.OnPlayerDeath.Add(glytch3rRIP)

so anythin gim missing from the bodydamage and stats

?

seams correct right

problem is i dont heal my wound or stuff like that

any suggestions

[glass basalt]

Not quite. I essentially want to combine the "connect headphones" and "put in battery" UI elements onto a TV you have equipped in your hand, like a radio

[nova socket]

Your best chance for that is to look for native UI in PZ root code.

[ember swallow]

@ancient grail do you want to heal bodyparts to full hp or just remove scratches, cuts, bleeding, etc?

[ancient grail]

im actually done with the code

sorry

these are 3 diffrent types of heal for diffrent purposes

[drifting ore]

any tutorials on how to get started with zomboids version of lua

assuming they use a modified one

[ember swallow]

I think you can remove most of the stuff at the bottom and keep only setHaveBullet(false, 0). you already change them at the top

[brazen fossil]

anyone want a free volvo 740 Project to finish? i have model and some textures done but i give up with blood and damage and stuff, and its just sitting there not used at all and im sure people could like it

[ancient grail]

deleting xml files isnt like deleting lua files right

like it would cause error if the file is missing since the mod deleted the file

anyone ?

[thick karma]

I guess it is only a Lua checksum.

To avoid errors I think you would need at least 3 lines of code in the XML file @ancient grail

Iirc less than 3 lines causes an XML parsing error to be mentioned by the compiler while you boot up

You may want to update that file with blank data before deleting it

[sage karma]

im sure it doesnt help, but i have the same issue. the only thing i can come upo with, is i went into the INI file and made the safe house,the spawn point. my guess, is there is spawn protection tied into buildings. you cant claim a spawn point as a safehouse, as that would prevent anyone not in your safehouse group from spawning. i would suggest opening up a map, finding new X,Y cordinates, and change the spawn location. this might fix your issue

[ancient grail]

okie

[gusty thorn]

Hello, I hate Discord but I'm here because I was told this is where to go to discuss modding etc, I am working on a rather large map mod & was looking for info on the default mini-map integration or eris mini-map etc, I have been struggling to find any detailed info or instructions on how to do this. Thank you.

[tame mulch]

Try ask in #mapping chat

[gusty thorn]

Cheers ❤️

[rancid panther]

i have become inspired once again. may be brainstorming my next mod idea in the future

[thick karma]

Offer that up in #modeling if you haven't.

They know more about what to do with it over there.

[brazen fossil]

Thanks didn't knew where to put it

[ancient grail]

im posting this to on the mod resources if you guiys think my idea is correct

LOAD ORDER:
shared files runs 1st
client files runs 2nd
server files runs 3rd
lua files are run alphabetically
``` ```
Adviceable Order:
Maps / Tiles
Library / API / Framework / Utils / Database
Vehicles / Clothing / QoL
Weapons / Items / Food
Admin Tools / Server Tools
Mods with Overwrites```

[sour island]

The order should match that of SP, no?

At least from my own experience my mods are tested within the game either SP or in host menu - both which you can't alter the load order of

The point being, less bugs are bound to occur the closer each setup is

[sour island]

Anyone recall there being holes in the graphic? Even in the vanilla window there doesn't seem to be.

Why is this one feature giving me multiple instances of deja vu

[red tiger]

Good morning.

[thick karma]

🙂

Yeah take that all of you KBM modders

I know you're jealous

[red tiger]

You still put up with the same silly stuff that we do.

Don't see the advantage.

[ancient grail]

Any suggestion

[thick karma]

Lmao I think you misunderstood my post. I am highlighting the gamepad shortcut to Reset Lua. In vanilla, there IS no gamepad shortcut to Reset Lua. I added it. I do not think any KBM modders are jealous of gamepad modders... That was sarcasm. I am joking about how I now have access to this one minor ability that you all probably take for granted.

[red tiger]

I wasn't being critical. I find it funny.

[thick karma]

I no longer need to use my Steam button bindings to go into mouse mode just to reset Lua. Minor success lol

[thick karma]

Word lol this sounded like you took me seriously

[red tiger]

Make a guide for that.

[thick karma]

There is definitely no advantage

[red tiger]

Do I come off this way often?

I always wonder. Text = no emotions.

[thick karma]

No just that one comment

[red tiger]

Maybe it's because I type with capital letters and periods.

[thick karma]

But I gotcha

[red tiger]

Yeah all good.

[thick karma]

It was just because your response was the kind of response someone WOULD give if they thought that I thought gamepad modding was actually better, that's all

Not the capitalization or anything

[warm quiver]

Anyone know if there is way to create a mod to modify the .class "RandomizedZoneStoryBase" the chance part: "public static final int baseChance = 15;" Dont know if im asking a stupid thing, if it is the case, im sorry 😉

[red tiger]

I try to be friendly here.

[thick karma]

Haha for sure I see that, no offense taken

I was just responding

[red tiger]

I'd argue that this corridor is the most important for modders.

Moreso than the forums ever has been.

[ancient grail]

I have no particular exp modding that yet .goodluck tho

[thick karma]

There is, but not in Lua modding and not in a mod that people could automatically download via the workshop without first downloading a third party app for installing Java mods.

[drifting ore]

I thought it was possible to alter the chance via lua

And set it

Gonna make me dig… lol I’ll try to find it today and ping when if I do

[warm quiver]

Any tip for where i should look into it?

[thick karma]

@drifting ore If they are correct that it is declared in a decompiled .class file, it'll be a dead end.

If there is ultimately a Lua variable that actually controls what they want to control, then there may be another way.

[drifting ore]

I want to say their is. I am certain I use a mod that lets you set. I’m just hoping it’s not a bikini mod since even if it is possible they probably used magic lol

[thick karma]

You need this for Java modding IF that turns out to be the only way to do what you want: https://github.com/Olipro/PZHook

But there may be another way, I haven't looked into that

[warm quiver]

ok, gonna look through it, thanks for the info 😉

[thick karma]

@tame mulch I am pinging you because I have come to recognize you as "the friendly one" 🤣 . . .

I can't speak for EVERYONE, but I bet you if you polled us, well over 3/4 of gamepad players would agree that this should be the default behavior for bumpers in your inventory and loot panels... I was almost about to make a mod that did this because I didn't know it was an accessibility option until I read the vanilla code:

just throwing that out there

I've done what I can . . . 😉

[sour island]

You can set any field in debug mode

Not an ideal solution for changing exposed stuff without getters/setters

[weak sierra]

give us a java hook in vanillaaaaa

[tame mulch]

?

[weak sierra]

a java hook, so we can mod in java

:P

[weak sierra]

reverse any changes you made recently to server config that caused it

[sour island]

It's in the first sentence

[weak sierra]

e.g., rearranging tile maps

yeah in this case it's an item

so

verify files on said client i guess in this case

for starters..

might also try removing any cached map files on the client

forcing a new copy to download

im assuming this is MP i probably shouldnt

if this is SP disregard that

[manic berry]

yeah MP

[weak sierra]

mk

[sour island]

It's a world dictionary error - which means he removed a mod

[weak sierra]

it can also mean other things

renaming a mod

rearranging load order in some cases

[sour island]

I've only ever seen it happen for items that got removed - it locks up map loading for some reason

[weak sierra]

i've never seen removing a mod be a problem tbh

[sour island]

It's specific to 3D models on the ground

[weak sierra]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/60703-41774mpdedicated-found-a-way-to-trigger-a-world-dictionary-error/

here's a variation i discovered that may or may not apply

mm

text is different

cannot override mod id

probably not this then

[manic berry]

This problem only happens to 1 person.

[weak sierra]

ah

yeah

delete the cached map files

on the client

it is probably doggedly trying to reuse them

and it will get a new one from the server if u do that

can delete the whole client-side save to be sure with simpler instructions

[manic berry]

mentioned item is available in mod content I don't know if this information will be useful but

[sour island]

There's an item mentioned?

[red tiger]

IMO only the server side of PZ should have java hooks. The client side either needs to be third-party Java modded or not at all.

The responsibility of the API is on TIS.

[manic berry]

ERROR: General , 1675869359770> 0> zombie.world.WorldDictionaryException: Warning client has no script for item SurCraftPack.HamKenevir

[red tiger]

When running servers, the security and responsibility transfers over to the community running it.

[manic berry]

''SurCraftPack.HamKenevir''

[sour island]

Ah, was the mod removed at one point? Or updated?

[red tiger]

For the client, TIS is responsible for the client's security.

[manic berry]

updated

[sour island]

Were models changed?

[manic berry]

no

There was no update for that item.

[sour island]

I'd give what Udderly said a shot

[manic berry]

of course

[sour island]

World dictionary errors have been a bane for a while

That and the fact that if you change item types the game tosses out those items

[red tiger]

@tame mulch Is there an alternative place to give that proposal for revisiing openUrl() API command mentioned a day ago?

[tame mulch]

I will add to my tasks task - discuss about this with team

[red tiger]

Doesn't seem like my help-ticket is going anywhere so looking for options. Sounds great. Thanks!

[ancient grail]

@red tiger when did you last play pz?

[red tiger]

January of last year.

[ancient grail]

When did we all last plaay lol

[red tiger]

Before that? 2017.

[ancient grail]

I think my last run was with @thick karma

[weak sierra]

5 days ago

[red tiger]

The game is more fun to mod than play IMO.

[weak sierra]

ironic, i hate modding it, it's a chore to me

the API and oddities are such a headache

the limitations

etc

[ancient grail]

You have server so you always active plus its rp @weak sierra

[weak sierra]

i do it because i want to play with the features that aren't already there, and to fix bugs that TIS doesn't wanna fix yet

[red tiger]

I enjoy breaking those limits.

[weak sierra]

i mean if ur not running a server and having people wait for things ur doing maybe it's more fun

[jaunty marten]

we also want way to GET just by lua

[ancient grail]

Idk about that.. sound like what your doing is exactly how it should be done

[weak sierra]

the fact that im trying to write a sandbox sync mod just to fix a base game feature of sandbox option synchronization shouldnt have to be eating up my time though

that's just tedious

and then the wiki offers up methods that are nil at runtime

headaches

[red tiger]

Force results as JSON with a check and then that's safe.

That and Lua tables.

[tame mulch]

?

[red tiger]

HTTP GET

[weak sierra]

that'd be interesting

[jaunty marten]

I'm happy I haven't played so much so I can mod and play

[ancient grail]

HTTP get

[red tiger]

If all you get back are text then it won't execute anything malicious.

[weak sierra]

could execute lua from a remote source to avoid needing to update a mod 🤔

[jaunty marten]

huh?

[weak sierra]

or put settings in an http server

and avoid sandbox shit

[ancient grail]

That will be awsome

[red tiger]

The problem is that even as innocent as GET looks on receiving information, simply connecting to an endpoint can be dangerous for some individuals with identity and what can be obtained from that connection.

Isn't as serious but can be depending on very specific situations.

[weak sierra]

is it not unsafe to connect to a server in the first place in that situation?

[red tiger]

Could be overdoing that scenario but it can be a thing.

[ancient grail]

Also make it so that when a sandbox is changed an event should happen so we can retrigger our functions or stuff like that

[jaunty marten]

yh, sadly u right

[red tiger]

Apart from the fact that you can REDACTED using Lua, yeah..

(That redacted is actually a real issue I haven't disclosed as a zero-day exploit)

[weak sierra]

https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1067210244159193108

everyone should read this

if you use sandbox options and MP

and in particular if you store security settings in ur sandbox options

[red tiger]

Security is a priority for me so the things I know I keep locked up and patch when needed.

=/

(Wrote the anti-cheat patch last year)

[ancient grail]

Seems like nasko didnt reply or read

[tame mulch]

12+ hours spent. 266 from 333 item script params done

[ancient grail]

Nice

[weak sierra]

anyone wanna collab on the sandbox options fix? i wrote the framework for it but the API for accessing/changing sandbox options i tried to use doesn't actually exist at runtime

i have limited free time and the next step is to study the vanilla UI code for the sandbox options and try to figure out how it does it

[red tiger]

I have too many projects active atm. =/

Can't take on anything more.

[faint jewel]

YEAH

[red tiger]

Rainy morning. Sad music playlist time.

[sour island]

Wait, what are you doing?

[tame mulch]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts_guide

[sour island]

Oh wow

[red tiger]

I'm about to go ham on this.

For real.

A simple bootstrap app allowing GUI for building script items...

I already modified a shell template repository for the app.

(Using this one: https://github.com/codesbiome/electron-react-webpack-typescript-2022)

I could make this process.. so.. beautiful..

xD

[neon bronze]

Am i crazy or is it all in russian?

[frank elbow]

I'm down to help out with investigating the code, but won't have too much free time either other than weekends due to the day job

[chrome tinsel]

Omg this would be amazing. I had no idea I could change that setting. Switching it to what you are suggesting is definitely the most intuitive and consistent with other games. With the default as it is now, I keep pressing the wrong buttons all the time 😅 I'm at least glad to know I can change it!

[pulsar heath]

maybe... its in english for me

[neon bronze]

I think someones translating it right now some text is still russian for me but he titles are in english

[pulsar heath]

oh yeah there are some bits in russian

not a good day to code... i keep hiting walls today...

[red tiger]

Rest.

[pulsar heath]

na, switch project

😄

[red tiger]

Oh so you do what I do.

(Except I'm at work atm)

[pulsar heath]

still have a few more days of freedom... big meeting friday with the big boss... so i want to get as much done as possible since time will be limited starting next week 😐

[earnest fiber]

hello, i would like to do a modpack that i would upload to the workshop for my server for custom settings and such, how would that be possible ? please i need help there ! ^^ if you have any piece of info ill take it !

[pulsar heath]

hmm noob question... brain is frozen... is there a way to make a panel "click through"?

[pulsar heath]

not quite the right place to ask, but you will have to add the mods manually to your server config or create the configs localy by creating a host the way you want the server to be and import those settings to the server

[earnest fiber]

oh sorry i dont know where to ask either, but like i know how to do that, its just about uploading a custom mod on the workshop i dont know

[pulsar heath]

ah you made a mod and want to upload it?

[earnest fiber]

no i took couple mods customized those and want to upload to workshop as a modpack for my server so they sub only to one mod

[neon bronze]

Dont think so honestly cause clicking anywhere in the panel would instantly focus on it + just moving it and resizing it is possible if needed

[pulsar heath]

hmm so i guess ill have to use the 1px height panel trick again

was hoping there was a better way to do it

[pulsar heath]

you should ask the creators before you upload any changed mods since its at least polite to ask if they allow it...
but this should help you out: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Mod_structure

[jaunty marten]

it's his native lang, all will be translated later

[neon bronze]

Thought so

[earnest fiber]

dont worry i was about to ask them but i actually want to see if it works first ^^

thanks !

[pulsar heath]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Folders_structure

[earnest fiber]

Thanks a lot

[pulsar heath]

anyone with a hurry google translate is your friend 😄

[jaunty marten]

it's official wiki so need native speaker instead using online translator he-he

[earnest fiber]

ok fuck this this is hard ill pay someone to do it later lmao

[pulsar heath]

well the animation mod is done... now to make it a framework

[red tiger]

👋

[weak sierra]

and that was the easy part

[drifting ore]

just read all that. i started translating the scripts guide to english but holy moly that shit takes a long time. never translated much before lol

i only got like 5-10% done and was spent

[drifting ore]

can confirm that google translate does a horrid job in this case haha

i had to rewrite like 80% of the entire thing anyways because it didn't make any sense lol

[pulsar heath]

it does but better a bad translation than none in some cases 🙂

[drifting ore]

haha

[red tiger]

My transpiler progress:

[pulsar heath]

@red tiger any news about the http client you wanted to do for pz?

i found something i wanna try out... i doubt that it works but apparently a pure lua HTTP client...

[red tiger]

Working on this transpiler to make it easier for me to dev the HTTP engine.

Doing it the right way. =)

[pulsar heath]

well a http engine would be awesome... no more writing files

to bad it will not work on pz's lua

😐

[red tiger]

@pulsar heath Server-side?

File IO check -> OnTickEvenPaused with timer -> Check contents length or starting char or checksum -> parse & handle.

2 processes

1. PZ server
2. Separate process listening for requests.

You could do a database version.

IMHO, it'd be easier to java-mod API calls for GET and POST.

[pulsar heath]

well ill keep using my dirty solution of using my app as a middleman to receive the data and write it into a file in the lua folder or mod folder

[quiet nebula]

Going through the game's lua, I see some mentions of a sledgeDestroy function. But I can't find its definition. Does anyone know where I could find that?

[tame mulch]

This is function from java class (LuaManager.java)

[red tiger]

/**
 * @noSelf
 *
 * Method Parameters: 
 *  - (IsoObject arg0): void
 */
static sledgeDestroy(arg0: zombie.iso.IsoObject): void;

[quiet nebula]

Ahh, I couldn't find it because my generated folder is excluded from my project ~_~

Thank you ❤️

[quiet nebula]

Where did this come from? I could find the Java part in LuaManager, but I can't find this one.

[red tiger]

This is from PipeWrench.

[quiet nebula]

What is PipeWrench?

A mod?

[red tiger]

A modding environment, designed to code mods for PZ using TypeScript, alongside Lua.

[quiet nebula]

Ohhh

I'll have to look into that

That sounds very interesting

[red tiger]

https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrench-Template

(Typings)
https://github.com/asledgehammer/PipeWrench

[quiet nebula]

I decompiled zomboid about 6 months ago, but after a while I couldn't continue, recently ran into a lot of free time, so I thought I may as well give it another bash, hopefully finish the mod I had been working on 😛

[quiet nebula]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[red tiger]

No problem.

[red tiger]

PipeWrench typings has auto-generated documentation for method signatures.

/**
 * @noSelf
 *
 * Method Parameters: 
 *  - (String arg0): void
 *  - (String arg0, Object arg1): void
 *  - (String arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2): void
 *  - (String arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2, Object arg3): void
 *  - (String arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2, Object arg3, Object arg4): void
 */
static triggerEvent(arg0: string, arg1?: any, arg2?: any, arg3?: any, arg4?: any): void;

[quiet nebula]

Ahh, okay, nice!

[red tiger]

My progress with the transpiler I'm writing from Lua code to TypeScript code.

(Writing type-discovery & type-mapping code)

Tuples are done though which makes me happy. Lua loves tuples, especially when looping through tables.

Thanks goodness TypeScript has array deconstruction syntax. Made it a lot easier to handle.

[karmic dove]

I've been having trouble with IsoWorldInventoryObject, for some reason the .dropTime value always returns nil and I can't figure out why!?

any help would be, well very helpful!

    local checksize = 4
    local playerssquare = player:getSquare()
    local cell = player:getCell()
    
    for dy = -checksize,checksize do
        for dx = -checksize,checksize do
        
            local dsquare = cell:getGridSquare( playerssquare:getX() + dx, playerssquare:getY() + dy, playerssquare:getZ())
            
            if dsquare ~= nil then
                
                local objectList = dsquare:getWorldObjects()
                
                if objectList ~= nil then
                
                    for i=0, objectList:size()-1 do
                    
                        local gitem = objectList:get(i)
                        if gitem ~= nil then
                        
                            print("item: " .. tostring( gitem:getItem():getName()))
                            print("dropped at: " .. tostring( gitem.dropTime))
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

[dark wedge]

Java variables are not directly exposed for most objects, so you cannot access dropTime on an IsoWorldInventoryObject directly and would need to use a get method on the object. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to get one for that variable.

[quiet nebula]

I take it pwm-cli is a linux application?

I'm going through the readme on the github, but I got stuck on the npm run extract step ^^;

[red tiger]

Ah uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can run it on my Windows laptop.

Use npm i

then uhhhh

[karmic dove]

Thanks @dark wedge, I was hoping it wouldn't be like that but I'll have to figure out another solution. Thanks again!

[quiet nebula]

Ahh, I may also have a very old version of npm installed

I might need to update 😛

[red tiger]

npm run clean
npm run compile
npm run watch
Are the three I use.

[quiet nebula]

Ah, run extract worked this time. I'll try those next 🙂 Thanks a lot

Clean removes generated code, I take it?

[dark wedge]

np! Checking the ISDropWorldItemAction.lua file, it looks like the the time it takes to drop an item is determined by the object's weight and a few traits:

o.maxTime = 50
...
local w = item:getActualWeight();
if w > 3 then w = 3; end;
o.maxTime = o.maxTime * (w)

o.maxTime = o.maxTime * 0.1;

if character:HasTrait("Dextrous") then
    o.maxTime = o.maxTime * 0.5
end
if character:HasTrait("AllThumbs") then
    o.maxTime = o.maxTime * 4.0
end```

[karmic dove]

My goal is to find out when something was dropped actually, like how long any given item has been on the ground.

[red tiger]

Yeah.

[quiet nebula]

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './java.api.partial.d.ts'

Hmm

[red tiger]

At work ATM so I might be delayed to answer.

Did you run npm i?

[quiet nebula]

No problem, I greatly appreciate it

Yeah, I did

I'll try it again

up to date

[red tiger]

Don't try to use PipeWrench as a workspace.

PipeWrench-Template is the workspace.

[quiet nebula]

Ahh

[red tiger]

Or at least my basic one to have for people to use. There was another one although its author is inactive.

PipeWrench is the actual typings.

[quiet nebula]

I'm not that knowledgeable about typescript, it's been a few years since I last used it a lot... ^^;

I'll have to read up on it

Thank you very much

[red tiger]

There's two layers of transpilation:

[Java -> TSD] --> # <-- [TSD <- Lua]
                  |
                  V
             [PipeWrench]
                  |
                  V
             [YOUR CODE]
                  |
                  V
                [TSTL]
                  |
                  V
         [Compiled Lua Code]

@quiet nebula

[quiet nebula]

Ahh. Cool. Yeah, they're put through PipeWrench and then compiled into Lua. Cool

[red tiger]

I wrote the two transpilers on the top of that graph.

That's what PipeWrench is. =)

[quiet nebula]

Oh wow, nice

That's cool 😮

[red tiger]

TSTL is another transpiler that a group of people wrote.

[inner blade]

What's the main tag for screwdrivers that mods use?

[red tiger]

Man.. I want to make a Discord bot on my server that performs lookups for API & items.

What an insanely useful tool that'd be.

[drifting ore]

tag tag? i swear i remember seeing that they dont use tags. someone may have to correct me there

[red tiger]

Wrote that on my growing list of things to tinker.

[drifting ore]

not sure if you actually mean tag or if you mean item name itself

[inner blade]

I looked and it has like just "Screwdriver" as its tag

[drifting ore]

its name

not tag

2 diff things

tags are used to group similar item types

just want to be clear on that

[digital moon]

What's up ya'll - I was trying to use Tiled to extract images from a pack file but nothing happens, I'm sure I'm overlooking something - any suggestions?

[drifting ore]

if you do sheet you need to use correct prefix. if you do individual uncheck 2x

[inner blade]

Rather new to Lua and PZ modding so didn't know.

[digital moon]

Oh gotcha! Thank you very much

[drifting ore]

oh you are good! just wanted to make sure

if you aren't using base module then you need to write item as Base.item

if it's vanilla

are you using it in lua or script

[inner blade]

I've made a mod before. Only issues is that dismantling is an issue. But since I think I forgot the recipes that might have been the issues.

[drifting ore]

ahhh check that recipes doc. translate whatever you need from it https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts_guide

it should give most info on parameters

i translated some but you can use translator for anything that's not in english

[red tiger]

If scripts were in JSON we could write JSON Schemas...

___>

[drifting ore]

i mean you can say that about a lot of stuff really

[wheat kraken]

how to use getFileReader?
getFileReader("file.txt",true)

need to have a "file.txt" in same folder from script? or where?

[drifting ore]

better to focus on the help instead of the what ifs

[red tiger]

OR.. or.. you could do it.

:P

[drifting ore]

if i had time i would do a lot. D:

[red tiger]

(I plan to when I get to writing a web-app for script management)

[drifting ore]

my workday alone keeps me busy for many hours. dont get me wrong all the stuff on the backend is soo dope, but most asking havent even gotten 5% that far

unless they are familiar with some languages at least 😄

[red tiger]

This also exists: https://json-schema-editor.tangramjs.com/ <3

[drifting ore]

i'm struggling completing what felt like a simple update to my lightswitch electrician lol

adding sandboxvars to change items required in recipes has me just stumped

i tried like 3 diff ways

last try is going to be most simple just using OnCanPerform and adding in each item via itemscript and setting manual craft number using sandboxvar

my brain is broke on it though

[dark wedge]

bleeechhhhh. after 3 days of trying to write my own functions for everything did I find: SwipeStatePlayer
Apparently, THIS is the class that actually processes the attacks, even though the IsoPlayer has a DoAttack and all sorts of other damage functions. So, ~400 loc has been replaced with: SwipeStatePlayer.instance():ConnectSwing(self.character, self.weapon)
On the plus side, this has fixed ALL of my damage/range/optimization issues, and has also made this hit everything in a much better way. So, i'm happy, just annoyed.

[drifting ore]

wow

[inner blade]

   {
      destroy Torch/HandTorch,
      keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Screwdriver],

      Result:ElectronicsScrap,
      Time:30.0,
      OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.DismantleElectronics,
      OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.DismantleElectronics,
      OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.DismantleFlashlight,
      Category:Electrical,
      AnimNode:Disassemble,
      Prop1:Screwdriver,
      Prop2:Source=1,
   }``` So if I was making a mod for a screwdriver would I change anything saying screwdriver in the recipe?

[drifting ore]

what is prop2?

[inner blade]

That's the in-game recipe.

Idk what prop2 is

Assuming the flashlight

[sour island]

Prop2 is secondary hand model

[dark wedge]

prop2 is the item that goes in your left hand during the animation

[drifting ore]

i know that i meant what is that

source=1 😄

is that just how it works with nothing?

[sour island]

Source 1 is the first item in the recipe's items list

[drifting ore]

ah

[sour island]

It's so dynamic recipes that use tags can still look correct

[inner blade]

Would I need to change anything in the recipe like the item name?

[tame mulch]

This recipe uses find items by Tag "Screwdriver", so just need set to your screwdrivers this tag.

function Recipe.GetItemTypes.Screwdriver(scriptItems)
    scriptItems:addAll(getScriptManager():getItemsTag("Screwdriver"))
end

[sour island]

Tags system is GOAT

[inner blade]

Some folks were saying there was issues with other mods like lockpicking, how would I go along and fix that?

[tame mulch]

I think only by lua patch this mod

[inner blade]

So looking into those mods and adding those functions?

[tame mulch]

I think in lockpicking mod you need replace function that used check item type by itemID to getItemsByTag

[inner blade]

Alrighty

[ancient grail]

Swipe state is your function or vanilla?

[ancient grail]

Mod for a screwdriver but the recipe is for flashlight?

[inner blade]

It's a mod that adds more screwdrivers.

[dark wedge]

Vanilla: https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/ai/states/SwipeStatePlayer.html

[inner blade]

But some functions seem to not work like dismantling.

So the tags don't seem to work via mods.

At least for screwdrivers.

[ancient grail]

Good eye man

This changes things

[charred cargo]

what is your work flow for quickly testing mods dudes

[ancient grail]

You mean mods we develop right?

[charred cargo]

yes

[ancient grail]

We just normally run it isolated test it on local hosted and SP

[dark wedge]

some of these are unusable directly, just fyi. some functions require and/or return data that we are not exposed to in Lua.

[ancient grail]

Well i dont test in SP not unless the mod is exclusively made for SP

[bronze yoke]

i do the majority of my testing in sp, but i write everything for mp

[ancient grail]

[ancient grail]

Ow hi albion

[bronze yoke]

it's just a lot faster, as long as you know how to write for mp already (and test it in multiplayer before release)

[ancient grail]

Soundslike advice for veteran modders dont you think

[dark wedge]

I do the same, almost all my development is done in SP and just write it with MP in mind. They should work identically in that way. You can "hot reload" some lua files via the Debug menu, and if you just need a single value or something, the Lua console is your friend

[charred cargo]

ohh yo

thanks

[bronze yoke]

depends what you call 'veteran' - i was doing this ever since after my first mod that needed intentional networking

[ancient grail]

I see

[charred cargo]

didn't think about using lua console all that much saves time i'll look into thanks

thanks guys

i'm guessing everybody uses a debug map of some sort to save time

i gotta find one of those after work

[ancient grail]

Btw theres a search bar on the lua list of you havent noticed it yet

When you need to reload the lua files

[charred cargo]

shit nice

[bronze yoke]

a debug map? i just use the vanilla map, i hadn't even really thought about it

[charred cargo]

i've never screwed around that much with debug but i got the urge to try modding on break

[ancient grail]

You can use the iforgot ehat its called the survival mode thing where you are in a cabin its a small map if you intend to test SP

Last stand!

That loads fast

[charred cargo]

alright tysm saves me time looking for maps

[bronze yoke]

i wonder if there'd be a significant loading time improvement with a single cell map or something

[ancient grail]

Ye on the chuck loading thing its reduced

[dark wedge]

I just start a SP map anywhere. Have a good pc, so reloading that save takes less than 30 sec the first time, and like 10 any time after. Using the debug Item Picker can just grab everything i need to test.

[bronze yoke]

yeah that's how i test

[cunning canyon]

Having trouble with a basic Lua issue, trying to figure out how to call this reload texture function when I click on a car...

vehicleMenu:addOption("Reload Vehicle Textures", vehicle:getScript():getName(), reloadVehicleTextures)

that's from the debuger, but i'd like an easier way to do it

[tame mulch]

Add option to worldContextMenu, find car near clicked square and then try reload texture

[cunning canyon]

gotttt it, thank you!

[glass basalt]

I am going to do that, yep

[thick karma]

What is this witchcraft? Is this instead of :Hit()?

UPDATE: I solved this problem by overwriting the vanilla UI with its vanilla name. Still no clue where the hell the old function was being called from, but now we're good. Leaving this post up for anyone who was curious about it.

Okay, y'all, losing it again... Whoever helps me sort this is my hero...

When I use my new faction UI to enter a name (4x font in screenshot below for testing), and press Triangle to submit:

Everything is beautiful and glorious:

All it does when I press Triangle is call the onClick function on the Ok button in the Create Faction window.

HOWEVER . . .

If I do the same thing in KBM mode:

It opens in vanilla width (which is cut off at x4 font, working on fixing this exact problem):

Which is EXTRA weird because if I hit Ok and reopen the menu in KBM mode, life is happy again:

So . . . like . . . wtf?

My correction relies on calling this:

function WookieeCreateFactionUI:onClick(button)
    if button.internal == "CANCEL" then
        self:close()
    elseif button.internal == "OK" then
        local playerIndex = self.player:getPlayerNum()
        local player = self.player
        local faction = Faction.createFaction(self.entry:getInternalText(), player:getUsername());
        self:setVisible(false);
        self:removeFromUIManager();
        local width = 700
        local height = 500
        local x = (getCore():getScreenWidth() / 2) - (width / 2)
        local y = (getCore():getScreenHeight() / 2) - (height / 2)
        local modal = ISFactionUI:new(x, y, width, height, Faction.getPlayerFaction(player), player);
        modal:initialise();
        modal:addToUIManager();
        if WGS.getJoypadData(playerIndex) then
            WGS.modal.onJoypadDown = modal.onJoypadDown
            modal.onJoypadDown = function(self, button, joypadData)
                if button == Joypad.BButton then
                    self:close()
                elseif WGS.modal.onJoypadDown then
                    WGS.modal.onJoypadDown(self, button, joypadData)
                end
            end
            setJoypadFocus(playerIndex, modal)
        end
    end
end

[glass basalt]

maybe in your keybindings it is tied to opening the old menu, which doesn't interfere with controller because there are none

[thick karma]

As you can see, the width and height setting are not intended to depend on joypad connectivity

[thick karma]

I overwrote ISFactionUI, there's only one.

[thick karma]

Not only that but I can literally go back and forth and make the error go away in gamepad and then come back in KBM...

[thick karma]

Also, I know I'm opening my version of Create Faction because the vanilla version's text input doesn't fill the panel. 🤪

[dark wedge]

This is instead of everything.

        -- apparently this handles weapon collisions with EVERYTHING, damage calcs, the whole works.
        ---- Would have saved me like a week to use this from the start. lol
        SwipeStatePlayer.instance():ConnectSwing(self.character, self.weapon)```

[thick karma]

Whoa, lit.

[glass basalt]

I can't seem to find the sprites for vanilla items (specifically the walkie talkies)
They are not in media/textures. Where are they?

[red tiger]

Texturepacks.

They're compressed archives.

[glass basalt]

darn

[red tiger]

You can access them.

[glass basalt]

what are they encoded with? would 7zip work or do I need another program

[red tiger]

There's a tool somewhere for extracting and repackaging these archives. Someone in here might know where it is.

[glass basalt]

I found an online tool that reads them, going to check if it truly works
https://filext.com/file-extension/PACK

Hmm, it only reads the text and bytes, and not the images

I just remembered that I can get the icons off of the wiki 🤦‍♂️

[drifting ore]

Use tilzed to extract…

Should I use X-Y for everything or just clothes?

[faint jewel]

i use it for everything.

[white quest]

Alright, got it. thank you

[faint jewel]

de nada

[limber oar]

Is it possible to add multiple ClothingItemExtra options to a clothing item (i.e. give the option to wear it in three different ways rather than just 2) or would that have to be done with a dedicated script?

[white quest]

@faint jewel Could we chat in dms rq?

[faint jewel]

sure!

[charred cargo]

hello guys
how would i go about adding something like this into the game without overwriting the main files

    if weapon and weapon:getType() ~= "BareHands" then
        owner:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Strength, 1000);
    end
end```

i know there's some sort of render thing but i don't understand how to implement it. the code above is taken from XpUpdate.lua in base zomboid, just changed a value to 1000 for testing purposes

[azure rivet]

Hello, I want to make a local configuration so that the backpacks make them invisible, do you know any information?

[glass basalt]

you would rename the function to something else, and call it using whatever function handles XP updates (check XpUpdate.lua for declarations)

[charred cargo]

tysm

[glass basalt]

Found out something weird. You CAN make a TV item that runs on batteries, works while equipped without placement, etc. but it doesn't actually connect to TV stations. There's probably some sort of function that TVs use, but I'm not sure where I could find it.

[drifting ore]

it's tied to the tile properties

there is probably some way to do it. not 100% but i know in the properties you can assign the type

[glass basalt]

OnWeaponHitTree actually might be a reserved keyword for a method within xpUpdate, so you want to keep the name the same, but essentially replace it with your new values

[glass basalt]

that sounds like a terrible headache to juryrig

[charred cargo]

alright i'll keep that in mind thanks

[drifting ore]

i'm sure it's not the worst. i'm just not sure how i'd do it outside of tile properties

[glass basalt]

there doesn't happen to be a library that detaches tile properties, is there?

or have a "floating" tile

[glass basalt]

is that a GUI for some sort of PZ tool?

never seen it, sorry 🤣

[drifting ore]

tilezed

[glass basalt]

ahhhhh gotcha, i should check out the threads tbh

[drifting ore]

that is commanders guide to tile properties

pins for now

threads are newer

check out tilezed and then look for those declarations in the lua docs

like isotype

wish i knew more about it to help you beyond that 😄

[glass basalt]

I will also look at if I can make a duplicate function (that handles the TVs) out of the IsoObject type and put it in a custom script

[weak sierra]

you can place any sprite anywhere with code

w/o any particular properties

[glass basalt]

I mean, I'd like to detach the properties of IsoTelevision (from IsoObject) onto an item that is never placed, only equipped in-hand

[weak sierra]

hm

[glass basalt]

I don't see how the game handles IsoObjects besides on creation. I think I would need to replicate that when the player equips the item

essentially duplicating everything

[weak sierra]

i got this snippet from glytch3r

local square = getPlayer():getSquare():getAdjacentSquare(getPlayer():getDir())
local obj = IsoObject.new(square, "crafted_01_18", "", false)
square:AddTileObject(obj)
if isClient() then obj:transmitCompleteItemToServer(); end```

specifically the IsoObject line might still be usable

i'd look at how radios work in the code

cuz they work in hand or on tile

and try to duplicate that

[glass basalt]

I looked at radios. Their methods are separate from TVs entirely but I can take another look as to how it differentiates items and tiles, if at all

[weak sierra]

i've seen TVs turn on not-on-battery while itemized

in vanilla

if you get one onto the ground as an item instead of placed somehow

at least i think it's doable in vanilla

i would imagine that it should be doable to get one working handheld anyway

[glass basalt]

oh... 🤔 interesting

[weak sierra]

they require a nearby gen or power

im not sure if they tune properly

cuz it was very late game

anyway if they can work in item form then i would expect them to work in inventory if u just enable the ability to access the ui

[glass basalt]

it's likely that when they are placed onto a tile, itemized or not, it can fulfill the methods of IsoTelevision like whether the TV is viewable by the player or what cell it is in

and I would then need to reroute the object to set that boolean always true when equipped and give the player's cell instead

ill test out the itemized TVs rn

this is actually super amusing

[weak sierra]

eyy there u go

lol

told ya

yeah idk how the television code is written

but i'd assume personally that it shares code with radio

u can hope anyway

[glass basalt]

as I suspected, when you equip the vanilla TVs in hand, they work exactly the same, but never tune properly into a station

the exact same issue my items are having

[thick karma]

If you don't like seeing your player's backpack you could just play with ExtraSauce Sac.

[glass basalt]

it might be simpler if I instead override the vanilla IsoTelevision to give it new code on onEquip (apparently this isn't a thing) so that normal TVs would work while equipped

[azure rivet]

Thanks, but it's not what I'm looking for.

[weak sierra]

@azure rivet what u wanna do is point to an invalid model on the backpack(s) in question

either override via script or use DoParam

blank out the model line

they'll be invisible

[glass basalt]

...is there a function to call when an item is equipped as a primary or secondary? I'm lost 😅

or an item attribute. I could've swore I saw something similar to "onEquip"

aha i think i found it

[maiden wadi]

hey is it possible to give shamblers, fast shamblers and sprinters different models

[red tiger]

Regex Regex Regex..

[glass basalt]

they use the same zombie object, you'd have to make new zombies

[red tiger]

Would be cool if Global API included Regex calls.

[thick karma]

What exactly is your goal?

[azure rivet]

Using a script to make backpacks visible and invisible.

[thick karma]

Hmmm. Not familiar with removing or changing the drawn models for existing items but someone here might be.

With ExtraSauce Sac I just take them off... since their shortcuts are active, unequipping or equipping the backpack effectively makes my backpack invisible.

[azure rivet]

Ok, I understand the mod, but the problem is that it doesn't apply the weight reduction.

[ancient grail]

☕

[thick karma]

Perhaps you could make a mod to allow one weight-reduced backpack to be selected when none is equipped.

That might be easier than hiding the models. @azure rivet

[ancient grail]

Check out how holsters are invisible

[thick karma]

Can you hide holsters via options?

[ancient grail]

Its not a bag but its a clothin item

Its never shown

They probably dont have sprite at all
Excpt maybe when placed on the ground

[thick karma]

Exactly it's probably an invisible model or something

That doesn't really help

Darlak needs something that can be toggled in game

[ancient grail]

Ah

Make the model inibitybity tinisywity

[thick karma]

An invisible backpack model would require him to transfer all of the items from visible back to fake invisible alt bag

Ugly solution

[ancient grail]

But it will work

[thick karma]

Can you hide a model on an existent item?

I have no idea.

@azure rivet I would just add an inventory context menu that says "Reduce Weight", and then if you activate it on a different item, automatically stop reducing the weight of the item you first activated.

[ancient grail]

Create two bags and onceeate coppy all datas of all items inside
Replace bag (deletes everything)
Respawn the stored data

[thick karma]

And just apply whatever standard backpack weight reduction is for that item

If that is possible

Idk if you can even adjust an item's weight tbh

[drifting ore]

is there anyway to run a lau function upon the game world itself loading?

like right when the world first loads log some info?

[azure rivet]

These are ideas that I have to consider.

[ancient grail]

Check out postdistributionmerge

Or predistrib

@drifting ore

[drifting ore]

would this work?

[ancient grail]

Yeh that too 😅

[drifting ore]

pog, ill give it a shot.

also do you know if it possible to call on other mods lua functions?

[ancient grail]

getActivatedMod() ???

Not sure what youre asking

[drifting ore]

Nm im being overly complicaylted.

My first mod will be incredibly simple. It just enables god mod upon world load

[true vault]

Most Lua code/functions are "universal" once they're loaded, so likely yes, as long as the mod in question is loaded already.

Easy way to ensure that is require the other mod, and the game will try to make sure it's loaded before yours, which will make that function available.

For example, Lua doesn't have an indexOf function like most other languages. I made a utility mod that has that function available. If you require my framework for your mod, that function will be available, and in your own scripts, you can simply call indexOf(array, "search term") without anything extra you have to do besides the require.

(when I say require the other mod, I mean in the mod info text file, just to clarify...)
So like:
require=ModWorkshopID (not the number ID but the name ID)
At the end of your file.

[drifting ore]

okay thanks for the info, i was going to call a godmode funciton from another mod, but then i remeberd that the efault game has a god mode, so there no reason to do that.

[red tiger]

Making more progress tonight on my Lua to TypeScript transpiler. :D

local tupleFunc = function(var)
    function saySomething(text)
        print(text);
    end
    return 'A string', null;
end

let tupleFunc = function(_var_: any): [string, null] {
    function saySomething(text: any) {
        console.log(text);
    };
    return [ 'A string', null ];
};

[drifting ore]

is there like documentation somewhere? cause theres not muchi n the pinned comment

like how could i toggle god mode on for a player?

how do i guarentee the code is run? is there like a file thats run on the mod loading? like a OnLoad.lua file or soemthing?

or are all lua files in the mod loaded and run?

[steel delta]

I'm curious what's going on here since I'm following the instructions laid out in the mod

[sour island]

MF is a global? That's a really dicey choice of name if so

[steel delta]

I believe so, I agree, it's a very small name, let me check though

This is the MF code, I'm pretty new to lua so is this global?

--UI for Moodle Framework
--
--add (un-)commented line below in your mod to use this
--MF.createMoodle("Proteins");


MF = MF or {}
MF.Moodles = {}--moodles map (for getPlayer only, for now)
MF.verbose = false
MF.TooLargeValue = 100000
MF.ModDataClean = false

[sour island]

and MF_ISMoodle is the file containing MF I presume?

[steel delta]

yes

[sour island]

Is your code also in client?

[steel delta]

ooh, it's not, so it needs to be huh? I have it in the shared folder

[sour island]

the way the folders work is a bit confusing starting out - but basically anything in shared runs two versions

1 client 1 server

The error is most likely the server version failing to find MF

[steel delta]

ah, that makes total sense then

I'll move my code to client and give that a shot then

[drifting ore]

welp it worked, i did not just have to ewnable godmode, i also had to heal the chracter

[nova socket]

I guess there is no proper way to restart the server gracefully from scripts?

[sour island]

Udderly has a mod for that, + Nurver has some stuff

Someone also wrote some Linux stuff

[nova socket]

I mean detecting a workshop item changes and restart from lua

[sour island]

Yes

Not from Lua, but easy enough to set up

I was about to write one for my purposes thanks I don't have to

[drifting ore]

when a new character is started in a world that had the last one die, is the last characters data overwritten?

or is it just a new entry added to the palyers.db file?

[quasi geode]

@sour island you got a global_mod_data.bin file from a save with lots of custom GlobalModData stuff in it you can send me?

need it for testing something

[sour island]

this is my largest I think - no clue what's on it

[quasi geode]

thanks

[drifting ore]

yes, yes it is

when a new palyer is started it clears the data for the old one

[sour island]

Noticing some odd stuff using commands and inventoryItems - seems as though items sent over commands don't have a location to reference

[drifting ore]

is it possible to change the main menu screen with mods?

[quasi geode]

now you can refresh your memory XD

thanks lol

[drifting ore]

i dont mean just like change the back ground iamge, i mean like add a new button to the main menu

[drifting ore]

without steam on windows is user/zomboid/mods

[drifting ore]

media\lua\client\OptionScreens\MainScreen.lua is the main menu i think

@dark wedge your strike thing
Would it be possible to detect before the attack is thrown if the aimed target is a door
And do a diffrent action ?
To be specific the zed mod im doing
I want it to slam the door instead of the bite animation if its a door

Thanx in advance for the reply

[dark wedge]

You would need to check this manually before initiating the SwipeStatePlayer action, but it is possible, yes.

[ancient grail]

How do u suppose i check

Ahhh

Check the square

In front of direction

[dark wedge]

Also, I was wrong about this being a super magical fix for all of my problems. Unfortunately, it still only takes into account your primary hand item when dealing damage.

[ancient grail]

Thnx for the idea

[dark wedge]

And yes, there is the isDoorTo functions you can use on squares to determine that

[ancient grail]

Cant you make a property bind

Like assign a moddata to the primary hand whenever you equip stuff on your left

[dark wedge]

when its calculating damage in the java code, it just gets the primary hand item from the character sometimes, instead of passing around the weapon. so no

[ancient grail]

Only limitation isnif you only have your left hand equip with somethign and your right is nil

Ahh damn

Ow you can probably still do something like setmindmg
setMaxDmg

While you swing

If it knows you are swinging even if it is secondary hand

But if it only listens to the right hand thio technically theres no such thing as left swing so i think you wont encounter this problem as long as you are swinging a weapon

I have a suggestion
You have to make your left hand turn your right hands default dmg always and if its nil you should still make it say that its not

[dark wedge]

The only way to do that would be to force equip the item in the primary hand for the attack action. Which is possible, but that's definitely a hack and not a good solution. Also, simply always relying on the primary's item could cause a mismatch in skill types when you're holding a knife in one hand and a hammer in the other. I have a few ideas, but that is for tomorrow me.

[rain shard]

hello late night modders

But thank you, I've been putting in some hours getting stuff to look clean and work cleanly

[thick karma]

What exactly is the context of the objname variable you were talking about?

[rain shard]

So, we have some fast travel code given by the previous modder, but they are very busy IRL and thus I've been trying to understand a bit of it.

For instance, there is a context menu for teleport that utilizes itemname = via:

...
if itemtype == "Animals.HorseAppaloosaSaddled"
 local teleMenu = self.invMenu.context:addOption( "Fast Travel", nil);
                local telesubmenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(self.invMenu.context);
                self.invMenu.context:addSubMenu(teleMenu, telesubmenu);
                local LandmarkMenuOption = telesubmenu:addOption("Landmarks", nil, nil);
                local LandmarkMenuSubMenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(telesubmenu)
... ```

Now they have another which isn't in the context menu, how it worked previously was that you right clicked on the world itself, presumably a tile, and were given the list of options.

```for _,obj in ipairs(worldobjects) do --filter for what we find when we right click
...
elseif objname == "Fast Travel Point" then
...
else
                local LandmarkMenuOption = telesubmenu:addOption("Landmarks", nil, nil);
                local LandmarkMenuSubMenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(telesubmenu)
                telesubmenu:addSubMenu(LandmarkMenuOption, LandmarkMenuSubMenu)```

But I was told by a friend doing tiles that not all tiles have names so I'm trying to narrow down exactly what objname would be referencing.

So this is for lua development, the Java part of that diagram is to show that it translated java into typescript? Or does it allow for Java mods as well, somehow? Just to confirm.

[thick karma]

Can you upload that file?

PS what exactly is your goal r.n. with this teleport code?

[rain shard]

Do you mind if I DM you for that?

[thick karma]

Nope

[buoyant violet]

is it possible to change a Mods gun sound without altering the sound files? I was looking into using a doParam, to replace the Gunrunners weapon packl sound back to the vanilla sounds, but so far no luck

I was testing with just one gun, this is the code I was using

[red tiger]

Typescript typings*

[quiet nebula]

Ahh

Okay, my mistake

[tardy wren]

So, if my Recipe needs a Drainable, can I figure out how many of the actual item will be used?

@ancient grail typo on "Conversion"

[ancient grail]

Typo never got to fix it

O dont worry abt it hehe

[cosmic condor]

conVEsion

why do you create it as a new mod?

confused players incoming

ah, I get it lol

different customer

[arctic grove]

Hi everyone I have no idea of moding but I would like to create a mod where the distorted trumpets from half life start playing randomly can someone please explain to me how?

[cosmic condor]

You want the sound to come out of nowhere or just normal background music?

[ancient grail]

You need to use onplayerupdate event
ZombRand()
And the produce the audio
Thats it

[ancient grail]

Good eye

[red tiger]

Good morning.

[cosmic condor]

not really, took a while to notice

[red tiger]

Hello Git diff.

[ancient grail]

Yes just input the number you consume on the recipe

[ancient grail]

Morning sir jab

[tardy wren]

Okay, I phrased this wrong. I meant, how many items. A drainable has a set amount of uses, and it may not always be full of uses

[red tiger]

👋

[tardy wren]

A recipe can pull trom several drainables to fulfill the uses requirements

I'm working to fix an edge case where that matters

[ancient grail]

Still thats some impressive detective skills .
Hmmm the no sledge function. Can be used as an util actually
For modders

Or for server owners i guess

[red tiger]

Found out a streamer I watch and have subbed to plays PZ. He said it so subtly and casually.. Cheered 500 @ em heh.

He gets around 3K viewers peak on his daily streams. Pretty neato.

I love seeing all the documentation efforts going on in here for modding. It's so refreshing.

Less people getting stuck in silly unknown pitfalls = win.

[ancient grail]

Yep massive effort from sir aiteron

[red tiger]

I'll give him support wherever it's needed. =)

I plan to document going forward using my documentation tool so I can compile it with PipeWrench.

[ancient grail]

is it possible to convert string back into isoobject id

[red tiger]

Also am considering taking my first look at why the .X importer in Blender fails to import animations today.

<3

[ancient grail]

pls enable a way to use autodesk maya eheh

[red tiger]

Unless you can identify the original instance and grab it, no. You'd need to make a new instance.

[ancient grail]

darn

[arctic grove]

Out of nowhere

[cosmic condor]

you can use this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834231099
and create your own sound pack

[arctic grove]

Thanks man thats really helpful

[tulip wolf]

Could someone explain to me how I could change the texture of the item in the StaticModel part?

I believe it is in the files "models_.X"

I tried to change the PopBottle image, but the image doesn't appear in Blender to create the model...

Another thing, recently I was trying to change some sounds, for example the alert event when we come across a zombie, but instead of the sound playing, it is muted.

[cosmic condor]

should be ask in #modeling
did you config this?

    {
        mesh = PopBottle,
    }

[tulip wolf]

no, i will try now

[cosmic condor]

the code seems fine

make sure you really got jumpscared

better convert to sound to .ogg files for smaller size

the volume part may not be needed if you adjusted the sound volume properly

no louder than 85 dB

[ancient grail]

Riko mind sharing a link of your mods if you dont mind. thnx

@cosmic condor

[cosmic condor]

which mod?

[ancient grail]

Any .

[cosmic condor]

all of them lol https://steamcommunity.com/id/safc/myworkshopfiles/

[ancient grail]

Wow can you hide the instance of progress bar by choice like for some stuff not all

[cosmic condor]

I don't know how to code if there are no example from vanilla lol

[sour island]

6 pages of solid work

One day, I'll catch up 😅

[cosmic condor]

number doesn't matter lol

[sour island]

Solid in this case is an adjective for "good"

[ancient grail]

I see i havent messed with the progress bar. But there was onentime i wanted to remove it on a time action. Whats 4d pocket

[cosmic condor]

your mod quality are way more better

[worldly olive]

meanwhile me coding the same mod for about 2 years now

[ancient grail]

Must be some big mod

[sour island]

Actions have variables for progress shown in their new()

[weak sierra]

must be hard when the patches come out and break things with a mod in progress that long

[ancient grail]

I see

[cosmic condor]

you can try hiding it with code if you can

[worldly olive]

Is Dynamic Traits 😂 new ideas appears, new knowledge appears so a lot of things are reworked to have better code, etc
And I don't have too much time to code many different mods 😦

[ancient grail]

Dynamic traits nice .same as what music man did
