#

I try not to jump into a big project - it eats up too much time

#

It's better if you're only working on 1 thing tbh

worldly olive
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

sour island
#

I have a few ideas, but I'm worried about starting them cause I can't stop ๐Ÿ˜…

worldly olive
#

There are way too many hidden/background mechanics added that is just to time consuming to even create documentation for them

sour island
#

Alot of documentation can come from how you name stuff

#

You don't have to comment everything

worldly olive
#

I mean yeah. But people won't read the files xD

cosmic condor
#

they don't even read the descriptions lol

sour island
#

Do you want people to make submods? Documentation is mostly for me

red tiger
worldly olive
#

That's why I stopped. I once did a documentation that had EVERYTHING, literally even the internal values of the variables, moddata, etc

#

And people kept asking "Is this trait dynamic"

sour island
#

Some people argued with me that the helicopter only comes on day 7

#

Even if they are presented with information they'll choose to ignore it

cosmic condor
#

I avoid putting multiple mods in one workshop because it can cause confusion and lead to people enabling all of them

worldly olive
#

How many years does the EHE already has? I'm still teaching people how to configure your mod in the Spanish community

sour island
#

I started it with Shark in 2020 I believe

ancient grail
worldly olive
#

Well, 2023 and I still teach people about sandbox options from EHE...

sour island
#

Like how they work? Or how to enable?

worldly olive
#

How they work.

#

Like if they want to have helipcopters for X time and so on

#

People just don't get it

sour island
#

I changed how they work and what they were called for that reason

ancient grail
#

Ow so you the original author of dynanic traits?

sour island
#

It used to be start day and cut off day

ancient grail
#

Genesis

cosmic condor
#

having multiple versions of the mod is a better option in case they cause conflicts

worldly olive
sour island
#

Technically it should be possible to deactivate mods if you try to toggle two on

weak sierra
#

it'd make server management hurt less

#

esp for maps

ancient grail
#

How do i use doparam and not affect everything?

weak sierra
#

but just being able to schedule updates to once a week or something

#

jesus

#

i run 500 mods on my server

worldly olive
sour island
#

That too, but also specific to skill recovery journal -- people refused to let go of a character or lose a single XP point

ancient grail
#

Is there an alternative that only alplies to an instance

weak sierra
#

can't put them in a modpack w/o violating rights or getting permission - plus it's annoying to manually maintain

worldly olive
#

Oh, only one instance

ancient grail
#

Ah so instance

#

Thnx

weak sierra
#

i'd LOVE if i could go "just continue using old version until i hit button:"

ancient grail
#

How do i capture the variable of what is currently set? If it has no getter or setter?

#

Wlso that was a quick answer btw impressively fast

sour island
#

Technically hosts could send files to players but it'd be a big strain not to mention security issue

cosmic condor
worldly olive
#

I had Intellij casually opened ๐Ÿ˜‚

sour island
#

IntelliJ is great for documenting -- if you use emmyLua - comments above functions show up when you hover over them and you can type and list arguments/parameters

ancient grail
worldly olive
#

I think I don't have it but will use it

#

Moved to Intellij a while ago, I used to use VSCode

ancient grail
#

I actually wrote ChuckGPT on the credits for the atmv2 mod

sour island
#

lol

worldly olive
#

Btw do you guys knows if it is possible (not necessarily how, I can research that) to add new types of injuries and also comfreys?

hollow shadow
#

i think aiteron tried before

sour island
#

I've been thinking of adding more injury types ๐Ÿ˜…

worldly olive
sour island
#

More variety of injuries is one of my big projects I'm avoiding

worldly olive
#

I also want to add possibilities of scratch, burn, etc by doing daily stuff with low level but is another thing that I need to research

#

hahahaha don't avoid it!

cosmic condor
#

tooth fracture ๐Ÿฆท

#

can't eat

sour island
#

The way Id want to do it is disabled the vanilla systems and implement my own for stability and scalability

#

Something like that would have alot of depth - and it gets messy if you're juggling vanilla stuff

hollow shadow
sour island
#
  • the vanilla injuries are not objects unto themselves but fields on the class -- so it's pretty rigid
#

Same with medicine

#

That's why eating burned food is the same as eating poison

hollow shadow
weak sierra
#

they made it very clear that that's in fact not ok :P

sour island
#

It's not officially allowed, but people are going to do it and it's very hard to tell otherwise

hollow shadow
#

prolly better that way, would suck to get bug reports from outdated versions

sour island
#

Would be nice if they still included the originals as required on steam but not enabled in game

weak sierra
#

the only time i do anything like that is when a mod is pulled that had no issues and my server depends upon, and it's happened only once.

#

i try to contact the original author if i can

#

but i feel uncomfortable about the whole thing

#

tbh

weak sierra
hollow shadow
#

nothing wrong with asking tbh

weak sierra
#

the game loads based on mod id not workshop id

#

so if you put both workshop IDs in

#

it'll try to load both

#

override one with the other

#

etc

sour island
#

Ah true

weak sierra
#

and then if it's a map or tileset

#

it can just randomly try to load the tiles even if a totally diff id

sour island
#

They'd have to change more stuff

cosmic condor
#

many authors have released great mods and then disappeared ded

weak sierra
#

game will load tiles even if u have no copy of the mod anywhere enabled

hollow shadow
sour island
#

lmao

weak sierra
#

i dont blame them

#

sometimes i wanna walk away too

hollow shadow
#

waiting for the "crafting menu" update

sour island
#

They're adding workbenches - I hope they made adding more in easy

worldly olive
#

Same

#

That's going to entirely change PZ and I love it

hollow shadow
#

i hope it doesnt require those tiling tools cuz they dont work on my pc

worldly olive
#

Hope most of those workbenches are spread across the factories of the map and that to use them you need to go there. That's going to motivate people to move across the map and not have an improvised factory in their bases

hollow shadow
worldly olive
#

But you can't have all the workbenches in the same base

hollow shadow
#

I like the idea of some buildings having unique crafting recipes to them but there would need to be alot of variety

worldly olive
#

I mean, not all of them to be unique to that building, but would be cool to have some unique that you can't have in your base

#

Smaller workbenches of course would make sense in your base

fast galleon

#

The "More X thing" is always a thing for EVERY game and it always works ๐Ÿ˜‚

hollow shadow
#

devs give us the tools and we customise it how we like lol

#

Does anyone know if it's possible to allow a player to build an object that's 2x2 (or more) tiles? I looked at ISBuildingObject and ISDoubleTileFurniture but I can't quite understand a lot of the functions around squares and positions specifically

hollow shadow
fast galleon
hollow shadow
#

some double beds are 2x2 but they consist of 4 items

left path
left path
#

glad to know it's at least possible

hollow shadow
fast galleon
left path
#

ooohh, I see

hollow shadow
#

I think theres only 1 craftable bed in vanilla and its 1x2

#

wait i think theres a furniture mod that allows you to build 2x2 beds

#

nvm

#

it doesnt hav ebeds

left path
hollow shadow
#

i never messed with that stuff since it doesnt work on my pc so ur kinda on ur own

left path
#

No worries, I figured I'd put the question out there in case it had been done before

drifting ore
#

You assign each piece of the tile offset itโ€™s own item

left path
#

For context, I want to use the code for two ideas: One is bigger farming plots for things larger than vegetables, and the other is bigger graves

drifting ore
#

In tile properties

#

Craft each piece. When you have all together you should be able to place as long as the tile properties are setup to know how the tile is oriented in game

#

Via tile offsets

#

If itโ€™s 2x2 and you have all 4 items. You will be able to place the 2x2 in world if tiles are setup correctly

#

Important to define the item itโ€™s tied to in tile properties though

#

Not sure whatโ€™s all possible with code but tilezed can get you most of the way there

left path
#

I appreciate the advice, thanks!

ancient grail
#

@worldly olive unfortunatly it altered the other stuff too

#

i changed the icon

cosmic condor
#

replace the tilesheet?

ancient grail
#

imean use doparam but only apply to the current instance and not all

#

sorta like setDisplayName()

#

it only applies to that thing and not the whole for the whole world's future spawned items

worldly olive
#

So you need to change it to a single item but no the defined item itself?

red tiger
#

You can add an override image asset in the same relative path as the asset in the tileset / package.

#

(IIRC)

worldly olive
#

Not sure if the doParam works over an specific inventory item in the client code, you could try to change only that instance and not the entire item

tulip wolf
#

It may sound funny or not, but is it possible to increase the frequency of jumpscares?

ancient grail
#

not all the paramaters have getters and setters which is why doparam exist but the problem is theres no similar function to alter an instance only

# 
  getPlayer():getPrimaryHandItem():setName('test')
#

but its limited to that

cosmic condor
#

not sure if there are any better method lol

ancient grail
#

getPlayer():getPrimaryHandItem():setSplatNumber(2)

#

for example

#

wont work

#

ow wait it worked

#

lol

#

bad example

fast galleon

look up the tourettes guy mod.

#

it's hilarious

ancient grail
#

getPlayer():getPrimaryHandItem():setTags('CutPlant')

#

this is an example of thelimit

#

it doesnt have a set for the tags i know theres anotehr way for it but thats beside the point

#

that not all the params have set and get ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

cosmic condor
#

@faint jewel has the dupe item bug been fixed?

faint jewel
#

?

cosmic condor
#

I've seen someone post a report on your mod discussion page

faint jewel
#

it should be... I can't reproduce it.

cosmic condor
#

it happens on my friend's server too

are they using controllers?

nope

#

Uhh, so... How would I get all the inventories the player has access to?

sour island
tardy wren
#

I know that there's getBagsWorn, which gives me all the bags the player wears, and getInventory for the main inventory, but how do I access all the surrounding inventories the player can access?

the soup one can be drank. noodle cannot be eaten.

tulip wolf

#

well then... what do i do? i should be in both hands it's a big ass pot of soup.

tame mulch
faint jewel
#

it's not the eat type that matters.

#

it's the carry mod.

tame mulch
# faint jewel

Try remove param "RequiresEquippedBothHands" and set "EatType = Pot,"

faint jewel
#

okay sure thing, AND THEN IT WILL BREAK THE CARRY MOD.

#

issa my point.

tame mulch
faint jewel
#

needs to be carry, and needs to be eaten.

tulip wolf

food

tulip wolf

soup you have to drink, not eat... i think

faint jewel
#

it's a pot of cooked noodle!

tulip wolf

๐Ÿ˜

#

it's the DEFAULT pot.

#

i just added the anim mask

tame mulch
#

Very strange

#

@faint jewel I added to this item param RequiresEquippedBothHands = true, and Eat option worked

#

I think you changed something else

hey, if I wanted to propagate someone to every player on the server, is there a better way other than looping through the getOnlinePlayers list and send them stuff from there?

How's the progress on Script Item stuff? D:

thanks

red tiger
#

This one has generated documentation on each method signature.

zinc pilot
#

damn

red tiger
#

This is every exposed global API call. (Apart from exposed classes)

zinc pilot
#

another dumb question

#

what's the differente between sendClientCommand with player as a parameter and the one with no isoPlayer parameter?

red tiger
#

If it's split-screen is where I think you'd need to pass the player.

zinc pilot
#

oh alright, makes more sense

inner blade
#

Okay, so for some reason the mod I'm trying to make just makes pants disappear for some reason.

sour island
#

Hot

inner blade
#

Is it because I have a script named clothing_pants?

sour island
#

If you're overriding a vanilla file perhaps

inner blade
#

Well I'm trying to add more colors so would I just need to change the script name for it to work?

weak sierra
#

eat -> change values -> perform eat

sour island
#

I'm not familiar with the TINT system, but generally if you name the script the same it will replace the vanilla one

inner blade
#

Well it's not a tint, I'm manually adding different colors.

#

Like how the lumberjack has only 4 colors.

#

hey now that getOnlinePlayers is useless how do we get an IsoPlayer for an online player from the client by username?

do i need to implement a server command to achieve that?

fast galleon
# 
module PWp
{
    model Heineken
    {
        mesh = Heineken,
        texture = Heineken,
    }
}

can you test this with module Base for a moment, and say what the item modules are

tulip wolf
#

So, if the item is customized it would be from the mod, but if not, it is a vanilla Base item, correct?

#

Blender still breaks me

#

Now my model file is useless as the texture already exists in Base.

#

I believe I have to craft this item in the blender:

download__1_-removebg-preview.png
fast galleon
#

usually the logic is: for same module you don't need to state the module or import it, if it's a different module though then you need either to use PWp.Heineken or add

module ???
{
    imports
    {
        PWn
    }
    ...
}
#

if it fails, make everything base until you figure it out

tulip wolf

also you can put them all into the same file

Running into a slight problem with my inventory mod, nothing too serious, but definitely annoying.
It seems that mod items are always blurry.

weak sierra

always?

that's real weird

The built in alice backpack looks nice and crisp, but the modded backpack is clearly filtered

That jacket is another mod item

that mod excites me so much but i hope you put something that automatically guesses sizes based on the type of item rather than it all being configured by hand

It do

weak sierra

yay

:)

bronze yoke
#

i remember having to change some code to get the game to even render modded icons when vanilla icons were working fine, so there's definitely some internal difference

weak sierra
#

i await it eagerly then

weak sierra

like moodles, etc.

#

maybe everything?

#

not sure why that'd cause that issue tho

bronze yoke
#

that's true, modded items are rarely in resource packs

worldly olive
#

That inventory mod combined with the old and outdated Worse Search mod from Blair would probably be the better combination of all items lol

#

In Unity engine, this would simply need me to change the textures filter mode to point, but I don't see that exposed in the API

I already know that mam. But i couldnt find the syntax of the contents like how i iterate it

Thats the only thing missing

Then in off to to test the code and pray it works

oh wait i found it

it's somethin blair posted once for use with upgrading bags but it applies here

--function to use for the OnCreate recipe paramater when upgrading bags
function Transfer_Bag(item, resultItem, player) 
    local player_Inventory = player:getInventory();
    local transferred_Items = {}; 
    local dItem;
    local texture    
    for i = 0, (item:size()-1) do 
        dItem = item:get(i); 
        if dItem:getCategory() == "Container" then 
    if player:getClothingItem_Back() == dItem then 
    player:setClothingItem_Back(nil);
    end
    if player:getPrimaryHandItem() == dItem then 
    player:setPrimaryHandItem(nil);
    end
           if player:getSecondaryHandItem() == dItem then 
      player:setSecondaryHandItem(nil); 
    end
            texture = dItem:getTexture()
            dInv = dItem:getInventory(); 
            newInv= resultItem:getInventory(); 
            dInvItems = dInv:getItems(); 
            if dInvItems:size() >= 1 then 
                for i2 = 0, (dInvItems:size()-1) do
                    invItem = dInvItems:get(i2);
                    table.insert(transferred_Items, invItem) 
                end
            end
        end
    end    
    for i3, k3 in ipairs(transferred_Items) do
        dInv:Remove(k3); 
        newInv:AddItem(k3); 
    end
    resultItem:setTexture(texture)
end```

And no luck with the TextureID settings, I can't call setMagFilter without getting an error

@ancient grail ?

#

u see my msg?

ancient grail
#

wow thnx

#

wow this is pretty long

#

getItems()

#

lol thats what iwas looking for i actually thought of this while afk cant believe i didnt test thnx alot

sour island
wet sandal
#

It does seem to be the magFilter from what I can inspect though

#

The vanilla item textures have magFilter=9728

#

And mod textures have magFilter=9729

#

Assuming thats an OpenGL enum or whatever the game is rendering with

#

Or I guess constants, since java enums aren't integer backed

sour island
#

I also think it's a matter of the java texture loader

wet sandal
#

Yea the inventory is just directly rendering the textures the same way I am

#

Oh that reminds me, you've been working on extending some debugging stuff.
Just a thought I've had a few times, but it would be awesome if we could clear the error log in the F11 menu!

bronze yoke
#

it bugs me to no end that i need to scroll all the way down to see the error i actually need to be looking at

#

it sort of makes sense for debugging in gameplay, but for active development it's just confusing to have old errors lying around

ow man my context menu isnt showing up

The error log:

molten raft
#

hey guys, quick question, how do you log/debug tables?, i just print(table), but i cant get any readable info out of it

wet sandal
#

I'd suggest putting a break point down with the table in-scope and just inspecting it

ancient grail
#

bags doesnt get wet?

bronze yoke
#

otherwise you can do a quick

for k,v in pairs(table) do
    print(k..':'..v)
end

wet sandal
molten raft
#

@bronze yoke i thought of that but the log gets very large rather rapidly haha, @wet sandal i didn't know there's an ingame inspector, or is that a mod?

wet sandal
bronze yoke
#

prints are pretty slow too - you can maybe copy all the data into a variable and print it at the end

molten raft
#

@wet sandal i have launched it with that flag

wet sandal
#

Its all in the F11 menu then

bronze yoke
#

something like this, though i think the formatting can be improved a lot more than this - mostly the general idea of how that would work

local result = ""
for k,v in pairs(table) do
    result = result .. k..":"..v..","
end
print(result)
wet sandal
#

Find your script by searching in the bottom right
double click to open it on the top right
Double click a line of code to place a break point
When you hit the break point the top left fills with your variables
Double click to inspect them

I took a look at the workshop for existing similar mods, but they're mostly out of date (like.. 2017 out of date), or not quite doing what I need to do, so the Lua in them isn't what I need to learn from..

for loot you can change the SuburbsDistributions.all.inventorymale and SuburbsDistributions.all.inventoryfemale tables, and you can use SuburbsDistributions.all.Outfit_OutfitName if you still want specific loot for specific outfits

hm I'm having a particular issue

I'm trying to sync lights in MP for flares

but sending the inventoryItem through commands doesn't seem to maintain it's location

I had a fun idea for a mod. What about having the zombie infection spread through the rain and infected water? So zombies wouldn't infect you, but getting caught in the rain would.

#

What do you guys think?

wet sandal
#

Whats the counterplay? For Susceptible (airborne infection) we had gas masks. Wear raincoats and boil water?

sour island
#

Maybe I'm overthinking this all... my current flare system works based off recipes to light the flare - then the information is handed over to the server to handle the tracking -- it sends commands to client to spawn the light sources and sounds. The issue is you can hold some of the flare types while lit - and sending the flare itself over the command doesn't seem to maintain where the flare is

I recently discovered that I can enforce mod requirements through the mod.info file, but is there a way to enforce incompatibility?

weak sierra

Yeah I know, trying to cut down

i actually considered zombifying water for water goes bad but i couldn't really think of a way to justify it mechanically

sour island
#

transmitModData doesn't work if the item doesn't have a square tied to it as well

wet sandal
#

People keep enabling multiple version of Insurgent then complaining the mod doesn't work -_-

sour island
#

Not sure why the inventoryItem can get passed through commands but then has no container reference

sour island
#

or post lua load -and force them to reload the lua after deactivating it

#

just add a 'reloading lua cause you can't read' pop-up ๐Ÿ‘

bronze yoke
#

you can just not run your mod if a certain mod id is active (assuming your mod is something you can prevent with lua) but i think this is sort of annoying as long as we can't communicate it to users easily

#

would be a good feature for mod manager, or the community patch

sour island
#

are inventoryItem ID the same between client and server?

#

sending items across commands doesn't seem to be a good way to bridge information

wet sandal
#

Thats really bad for me

sour island
#

perhaps I'm doing something wrong as well

wet sandal
#

I store the grid data in the items

sour island
#

should be fine

#

I think when the item is on the floor is when transmission naturally occurs

#

my issue is I needed it while it's held

bronze yoke
#

if it's in someone's inventory, does it even exist on the server?

sour island
#

kind of sort of

#

I probably need to refactor the flares system

#

make held flares work differently than on the floor or launched flares

if i'm trying to get a specific number of items from players inventory as a condition, would something like this work? craftwire is my sandbox option using an integer

local Wire = inv:FindAndReturn("Base.Wire == "..SandboxVars.Nipswitch.Craftwire)
#

since I can't figure out how to do sandboxvars for required item # in recipe. i'm going to just have craft done via world context menu.

tame mulch
drifting ore
#

allow server owners to control amount of each item to craft recipe

#

x wire, x scrapelectronics

#

x is sandboxvar

#

i couldnt figure out using recipe script

tame mulch
#

So, player will can craft only X items, and then can't craft this item anymore?

drifting ore
#

no. like this

#

recipe Right Light Switch {
keep Screwdriver,
keep Wrench,
keep Scissors,
Wire=10,
ElectronicsScrap=25,
DuctTape=4,
Screws=10,

#

i want those to be sandboxvars

tame mulch
#

Hmmm

drifting ore
#

the wire amount scrap amount

#

i been trying 4 days

#

i was going another route to just find the items in inventory

#

and just add new context menu option but look for the items in inventory then just have the craft happen from choosing context menu but using oncreate or w/e

#

i already made workaround for using lightswitch outside of roomdef by using lightswitch like a lamp and increasing radius of light

#

that is inside player base haha

tame mulch
# 
getScriptManager():getRecipe("Right Light Switch"):findSource("Base.Wire"):setCount(69)

Try this

true vault
bronze yoke
#

does that actually work? i was under the impression their inventory didn't even generate until someone looked at it

true vault
#

Yep, it seems to work just fine. Killed several zeds with that active, and nothing in their corpse.

I suppose it's possible there's a microsecond where there's items in the inventory, and they are removed faster than you can even see, but I'm not sure because I had the function also print to console when each zed was killed, and it fired without me looking at it, so, maybe it's possible the call to grab the inventory forces it to generate?

bronze yoke
#

huh! well that's good

true vault
#

All I need to do now is somehow swap their outfit to nothing.. can probably attach that to OnZombieUpdate

#

Well, more specifically, to a specific outfit. Haven't been able to affect that at all.

bronze yoke
#

you can change their outfit onupdate but the performance is absolutely dreadful

#

i'd definitely try to mess with the zones to get them spawning the way you want instead of changing them after they spawn

true vault
#

Yeah, my log being spammed by the print I did during it certainly agrees with that haha

bronze yoke
#

oh gosh, don't attach a print to an event that fires that much - my game straight up crashes if i do that, prints are incredibly performance heavy

true vault
#

Is it possible to create a new "type" of zed, or like, an outfit, and ONLY have the game spawn zeds with that outfit?

bronze yoke
#

my guess is that messing with the zone definitions like i was talking about earlier would let you do that

true vault

Yeah, I'll take another look and see; might dissect AuthZ

They don't generate loot until they're a corpse that has a container, yes.

bronze yoke
#

oh right, i must've confused it with living zombies not having an inventory

#

i have some code to rewrite ๐Ÿ˜…

willow estuary
#

Containers aren't containers until they "exist", and that is generally the point at which they spawn loot, either as becoming part of a player's ~150 tile reality bubble, or cases like zombies being killed and the live zombie being replaced by a corpse that is a container.

bronze yoke
#

i was generally aware of this, i just thought corpses were special for some reason - but clearly they're not

willow estuary
#

The misinformation re containers and loot spawn conditions is bizarrely persistent. I guess it's a case of assuming w/o following up with experiential evidence.

When using ClothingItemExtra/ExtraOption ("Hoodie Up" and all that jazz), is there any good way to get it to stick to the same "Type" (i.e., texture)? For example, you're wearing Type 2 of an item -- the second of its possible color options -- and you use the ExtraOption to swap to its sister item, and that sister item also appears as its Type 2 variant?

I've got a bunch of ribbons with different colors and I'd really like to avoid making, like, 15 different .xml files / items for each color and position if it's not absolutely necessary.

Iโ€™m try to make a mod which extend metal working
I โ€˜am trying to add a recipe of turning 3 Accessories into workable iron using hammer
here is the example

    ;workable iron = ironingot in the game code
    Result:ScrapMetal=1,

The problem is now i need 3 of the same type
changing the code to the following will prompt the recipe to appear even if you have just one Necklace but will result in error because the insufficient amount...

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
Necklace_Gold/Necklace_GoldRuby/Necklace_GoldDiamond,
Necklace_Gold/Necklace_GoldRuby/Necklace_GoldDiamond,
Necklace_Gold/Necklace_GoldRuby/Necklace_GoldDiamond,

the only workaround i'am able to think is to add each it separately

drifting ore
#

thats it

#

right there

bronze yoke
#

that's the same as setting it in the script

drifting ore
#

but you can add them all in an array and it will accept them right?

#

or 1 by 1

bronze yoke
#

if you have one condition for 3 it only accepts three of the same type of item, if you have 3 conditions for 1 one item satisfies all 3

drifting ore
#

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

twilit onyx
bronze yoke
#

the only way i can think of doing it is having 3 conditions and just checking there is actually 3 different items with an ontest function

#

but then the recipe will still go ahead with the one item so you need to also use an oncomplete(? don't remember what this one is called exactly) to delete the extra items

drifting ore
#

i spose that doesn't seem too bad to try at least

twilit onyx
#

i have a work around tho, but not optimal...

#

transforming each single Accessory into another new item
then 2 of the new item makes the workable iron

bronze yoke
#

ooh that sounds good

twilit onyx
#

but i really hope that the devs consider adding such command

#

or improve the recipe command

bronze yoke
#

b42 is very likely to resolve this

twilit onyx
#

i hope so

bronze yoke
#

i just can't imagine a full crafting tree would never run into this problem

Anyone have a guide which item script parameters work? Quirks / bugs list.

zinc pilot
fast galleon
#

From the top of my mind
DisplayName can be manually changed by using setDisplayName (script value, DoParam don't work)
anim masks(?) can only be set inside script and not changed with DoParam
...

ancient grail
#

Yes these are facts polt

#

Idk abt the guide might eant ro check aiterons current work

#

I also faced the same problem last night with the doparams
Cuz it affects all while i just want to change and instance
Since i cant change the clothingitem param
I had to create a new bag
And replace the current bag just to fake the hiding thing
And just stored the original properties as moddata

#

So that you can toggle back

Im trying to make a simple function, that checks for a gun on equip and replaced the gunSound, I have around 3 days of reading material from zomboid so this may be extremely silly

#

Isn't gun sound a scripted value?

#

can i store png on the \Saves folder

#

and then the script items would still be able to use it as texture

Idk if am lacking something to triggering it but this is the file

#

Is GWP your mod or are you trying to patch someone else's?

buoyant violet
#

It's gunsrunner mods the addon for VFE

I liked more when it had the vanilla sounds

But my patch on mind could in theory look to patch any mod without altering the original uploaders work

What is the lowest number of ProceduralDistributions that we can set?

#

Value

#

I would like to set lower than 0.1

sour island
craggy furnace
tulip wolf
#

There's more than one footstep sound, the sound is probably a sequence, right?

tulip wolf
tame mulch
#

I think you can only replace default sounds

tulip wolf
#

I'm using the sounds from the media/sound folder

tame mulch
sour island
#

The sounds are banked, the loose ones don't replace the banked files. If a file isn't found in a bank it then looks for a corresponding sound script, if it can't find that it grabs a loose file with the same name

#

@tame mulch a footstep Hook as well as Event would be nice. Could do a lot of fun stuff with those two.

#

Also there's an event for player move -- you could theoretically make the default sound blank and force your own that way based on what's being stepped on.

#

I guess on player move is the appropriate event actually

#

But a Lua hook would let you bypass the vanilla methods

tulip wolf
sour island
#

I believe you'd have to edit the bank files to change those specific sounds

#

I don't think vanilla sounds use sound scripts - but I could be mistaken

tulip wolf
#

I'm reading all .bank

# cosmic condor What is the lowest number of ProceduralDistributions that we can set?

i use extremely low and it works as intended.

local function nipswitchBook()
local list = ProceduralDistributions.list
local targets = { BedroomSideTable = .000000001, BookstoreStationery = .00000001, LibraryCounter = .00000001,

for k,v in pairs(targets) do
    local items = list[k].items
    table.insert(items, item)
    table.insert(items, v)
        table.insert(items, "Base.Lightswitches_fordummies")
        table.insert(items, SandboxVars.Nipswitch.Bookchanceplace * 0.0000001)

    end

too much misinformation around how it works so i'd just do what works for you

use lootzed to confirm if it spawns ofc and the % and if you see an E in the value, then you know its EXTREMELY low lol

Busy bunch of days i had

#

Distributions should be a double iirc so you can use any number representable

cosmic condor
#

binary?

drifting stump
#

?

#

a java double

cosmic condor

no idea what it is lol

drifting stump
#

should be fp64 i think?

cosmic condor
#

googling it now

#

I guess I understand now

#

thanks for the additional input

drifting stump
#

Also keep in mind chances are related with the sum of all items

drifting ore
#

all items in that container*

#

or def or however you wanna call it. had to get this confirmed by one of the devs also since i heard 3 diff theories ๐Ÿ˜„

#

don't really get how loot stuff has so many diff theories of how it works

drifting stump
#

yeah the same of that table

#

theres a bunch of wonky stuff going on

#

even i dont remember everything but i did read the whole code

#

zombie density in the area also affects chances

cosmic condor
#

that's new to me

sour island
#

It's a double but it's also multiplied a few times

drifting ore
#

oh someone mentioned that also... i forgot about that

sour island

So there's probably some buffer room

Hello, I'm new to making mods and I wanted to make one to re-scale the game interface, for example when going from a default resolution of my monitor of 1366x768 to 1280x600 in the game the menu and the animated background move to the left but other items no. So I thought of making a mod to fix that. But I don't know if that's possible.

drifting stump
#

most ui stuff can be modded

#

does that still happen after a restart?

drifting ore
#

yes

sour island
#

if Rand.Next(10000) <= chance(modified by luck) * 100 * lootmodifer + zombiedensity * 10

This is what the loot chance calc was a while ago - may have changed

drifting ore
#

i think you need a better understanding of what server options are available before you suggest mods

atomic gyro
#

whatchu mean

drifting ore
#

this is not the mod suggestion channel or debate about game mechanics channel... but i will only say this. most of your issue is with PVP balance which has already been explained that game does not revolve around pvp in its current form. your best bet is to learn how to mod for pz and learn how you can build a server to your liking

#

when you do that. you will be very pleased and feel rewarded ๐Ÿ˜„

#

even most of your concern though is addressed through specific server settings and a couple existing mods out there

atomic gyro
atomic gyro
drifting ore
#

oh yes! much material for learning

also Aiteron is rewriting many of the pzwiki guides for modding right now

look at the threads up top

atomic gyro

there is mod tool and links for all the good stuff

even some tools that help you decompile the game to see how things are done with vanilla game code

I think I may be able to achieve the gun sound with this

1.2000000476837158

zx = zx:floatValue()
print(zx)
1.2000000476837158

interesting this converts to float but zx stays the same

lunar robin
#

So I have this array for random name generating, but it wouldn't work for some reason, like the event is not triggered properly.

local firstNameArray = {"Ivan", "Michael"}
local lastNameArray = {"Jackson", "Buba"}
local function GenerateName(player)
    local firstName = firstNameArray[ZombRand(1, #firstNameArray+1)]
    local lastName = lastNameArray[ZombRand(1, #lastNameArray+1)]
    getPlayer():getDescriptor():setForename(firstName)
    getPlayer():getDescriptor():setSurname(lastName)
end
Events.OnNewGame.Add(GenerateName)

However, when I type this code (without event) in the lua interpreter ingame, it works... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ancient grail
#

are equip items like bags and weapons on hand considered to be part of the

getPlayer():getInventory()
fast galleon
#

yes, in vanilla

#

mods / bugs can break this logic

ancient grail
#

so what do i do when i want to check i the polayer has a specific itemeither on his inventory or bag or equipped wherever

#

i see

#

how do i check for custom attachment locations then

#

imean modded attachment

fast galleon
#

are you looking for a specific type or specific obj?

ancient grail
#

like iterate over all possible attachments

#

a specific obj

#

or letsay objects that contain either one of the tags

# 
item:getItemsTag("myTag1") or item:getItemsTag("myTag2") or item:getItemsTag("myTag3")
fast galleon
#

what you typed + :getItems():contains(obj) is a possibility.

#

let me check what the tags code is

#

containsTagRecurse(string) returns true / false

#

getFirstTagRecurse(string) to get item

#

these are done on the ItemContainer

#

if you have multiple tags maybe it's better to do

ItemContainer obj:getFirstEvalRecurse(function(item) return item:hasTag("myTag1") or item:hasTag("myTag2") end)
ancient grail
#

ow yeah recurse

#

good idea

#

wait why is there an item container on the left

bronze yoke
#

it's the type

ancient grail
fast galleon
#

test it ๐Ÿ™‚

bronze yoke
#

i don't think equipped items leave the inventory

#

so it should be fine

ancient grail

    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(playerNum)

    local allContainers = {}
    local allContainerTypes = {}
    local allContainersOfType = {}
    local pourInto = playerInv:getAllEvalRecurse(function(item)
        -- our item can store fue, but doesn't have fuel right now
        if item:hasTag("EmptyPetrol") and not item:isBroken() then
            return true
        end
        -- or our item can store fuel and is not full
        if item:hasTag("Petrol") and not item:isBroken() and instanceof(item, "DrainableComboItem") and item:getUsedDelta() < 1 then
            return true
        end
        return false
    end)
#

similar to this??

#

or no

#

whats the diffrence with getAll

fast galleon
#

small changes depending if you want just a bool, the first item, best item, all items

#

this seems right

ancient grail
#

yeh i just need a bool

#

ahh so playerInv:getAllEvalRecurse

#

includes the containers

#

outside

?

inside playerInv

checks inside bags also

Does anyone know the best way to programmatically control a zombie's clothing? The following snippet doesn't work:

        local soleClothingItem = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem('Base.Jacket');
        local desc = SurvivorFactory.CreateSurvivor();
        desc:getWornItems():clear();
        desc:setWornItem(soleClothingItem:getBodyLocation(), soleClothingItem);
        targetZombie = createZombie(x, y, 0, desc, 0, IsoDirections.S);
        targetZombie:DoZombieInventory();

I looked at the bytecode for LuaManager#createZombie, and it seems the 'desc' parameter is completely ignored. So what's the proper approach?

bronze yoke
#

i think you can just do targetZombie:setDescriptor(desc)

#

it might be easier to use targetZombie:getDescriptor() and modify that but it depends on your usecase

sacred matrix
#

Alright, I'll give that a shot, let's see...

fast galleon
sacred matrix
fast galleon
#

ISPlace3DItemCursor -> ISDropWorldItemAction, not sure about events

fast galleon
sacred matrix
#

@fast galleon So it's not possible to programmatically create and add a piece of clothing?

fast galleon
#

haven't tried that

#

didn't notice you wanted that, sorry

#

IsoZombie extends IsoGameCharacter so maybe you can use setWornItem

#

basically what you did, just add it directly to the zombie

sacred matrix
#

I did that, and no dice. It's like any zombie made with createZombie cannot have its clothing changed.

what is the first event that happens when player data is available by chance, if anyone knows?

drifting ore
#

OnNewGame worked for my case

thick karma
nova socket
#

Is there any global data namespace between server and client, aka getModData but not tied to specific object?

thick karma
#

I think not.

sour island
#

There's global modData

thick karma
#

Pretty sure you need to use server-client ping pong to communicate between server and client @nova socket

thick karma
#

I mean there is an easy transmit function

sour island
#

There's events for receiving modData

thick karma
#

Right I don't think that's what he meant but I suspect that works for what he's probably trying to do

sour island
#

It's not very simple/easy to implement

nova socket
#

Simple as is to keep join-in-progress data between client that were in-game and weren't without re-transmitting it on each N time.

sour island
#

I have it go one way to clients and have commands to alter server side

nova socket
#

Its not about clients altering anything its about them getting state of existing data after they re-connect into existing game

#

Server has a bool, bool has a state, players come and go but I want to know if all of them keep the same state of that bool.

#

But I might just transmit it on connect event

#

Oh I see a solution ModData has
static request(arg0: string): void;
static transmit(arg0: string): void;

So you can both transmit and request data from it.

Hey everyone, I have a silly question.

Did the devs change how recipes work? I'm having recipes that have multiple combinations that used to work in the last last patch. Now the recipe will "work" with even 1 of the items and produce an error when activating. The crazy recipe is bellow...

does the WorldSound function of the GetWorld object exist? is returning me (nil)

It works if I have 10 of the items

i'm just trying to express that i have reason to believe it never worked in the first place
