I appreciate it

#

I appreciate you taking the time to let me know lol

red tiger
#

Got for-loops implemented today.

#

Translating loop logic between Lua and TypeScript is kind of meh. =(

stiff furnace
#

Nice man

red tiger
#

After loops I'm going to work on instancing "self"

#

Then class generation using a class adapter API I'll build for detecting pseudo-classes in the code and possibly how to implement them too.

#

Yay for progress.

tulip wolf
#

does something like that exist: OnCharacterMovement

bronze yoke
#

OnPlayerMove

tulip wolf
#

I tried Player but it doesn't exist

bronze yoke
#

you won't catch non-player characters with that but it might be what you need

getSurfaceType() does not exist

it was saying OnPlayerMove because you named your function that, and the error was in that function

#

Is there really no player:getOccupation()???

bronze yoke
#

player:getDesc():getOccupation()

humble oriole
#

wow, they buried that

#

I'm still fighting an issue with moving things to a container after removing items from the container inventory

humble oriole
bronze yoke
#

what do you mean?

humble oriole
#

well, there is no getDesc() and I'm looking at getDescription() and there isn't one for IsoPlayer

#

I can see getName() under the profession factory, but I think that just for interacting with professions via lua and not how they're tied to the player

bronze yoke
#

my bad, getDescriptor()

humble oriole
#

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

#

Occuption - getPlayerByOnlineID(0):getDescriptor():getProfession()

#

Thanks as always

humble oriole
#

ok, so players don't get hasSafehouse(), but Safehouse.hasSafehouse(player) returns the whole safehouse instead of a boolean... because they're doing hasSafehouse(player) do a get. Then did getSafehouse(coord/square) and not getSafehouseByPlayer(player) and getSafehouseBySquare(coord/square).

#

Any reason why Safehouse.hasSafehouse(getPlayerByOnlineID(0)) wouldn't work from debug?

humble oriole
nova socket
humble oriole
#

I'm just doing ~= nil

#

if not SafeHouse.hasSafehouse(player) ~= nil then

nova socket
#

~= is not required

#

if not already checks for nil

humble oriole
#

even better, I wasn't sure it did so was just being explicit

nova socket
#

Pretty much works for any type checks

#

Same for variable default value failover
someVar = someVar or 0 means if someVar is nil then its assigned to 0

#

The only thing I dream if in some languages is something like object.field?.anotherfield?.value like TS has.

humble oriole
#

It's nice at a glance though if you see ~= nil you know that the function doesn't return true/false imo. Probably preference?

nova socket
#

Yeah maybe, I'm just more into compact code as much as possible without damaging human reading.

humble oriole
#

yea, I get that

#

I try to do things with the most efficiency and readability. Compactness isn't as important.

nova socket
#

Yeah as I said not gonna judge any codestyles.

#

aww we can't set a building def 😦

drifting ore
#

lol what are you trying to do

#

i messed around with a lot of that stuff trying to figure out switches

tulip wolf
#

it does not have:

local floorType = floor:getType()``` ???
humble oriole
#

well, any building that has residential rooms is claimable even if it's not orange on the map. So, I've been pondering how we can stop that as server owners. With the knowledge that we can't set a building def, I'll have to look for another way for an admin to swing through and prevent that building from being claimed again.

ancient grail
#

Afaik as long as theres a bed

#

Which is why the hone for the aged and those hardwarestores with rooms above are claimable
Also condo units and hotel

humble oriole
# 
    if not safehouse and clickedSquare:getBuilding() and clickedSquare:getBuilding():getDef() then
        local reason = SafeHouse.canBeSafehouse(clickedSquare, playerObj);
        if reason then
            if test == true then return true; end
            local option = context:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_SafehouseClaim"), worldobjects, ISWorldObjectContextMenu.onTakeSafeHouse, clickedSquare, player);
            if reason ~= "" then
                local toolTip = ISWorldObjectContextMenu.addToolTip();
                toolTip:setVisible(false);
                toolTip.description = reason;
                option.notAvailable = true;
                option.toolTip = toolTip;
            end
        end
    end```

#

Ahhh ok
Dubunked!
Lol

#

Anyways what i said was comming from a players perspective / non modder

humble oriole
#

yea, I didn't know till about 30 minutes ago

#

and having a bed might be enough to change the building def

#

so, you could still be right

#

I think it has more to do with the room definition

#

can you access fields with a .[field]

#

like that?

how to control fog on lua

humble oriole
ancient grail
#

🙏

humble oriole
#

oh that's getting it, idk if you can control it with that

#

there's a setFogIntensity under WeatherFX

#

but, that may not work as intended and only draw fog on the client instead of making it foggy via the climate

ancient grail
#

so whats for global

humble oriole
#

oof, I'm not sure I understand how they're doing it on the admin panel

#

lua/client/AdminPanel/ISAdmPanelClimate.lua

# 
        var = clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY);
        self.tickBoxFog.selected[1] = var:isEnableAdmin();
        self.sliderFogSlider:setCurrentValue(var:getAdminValue());```
# 
    elseif _slider.customData=="FogSlider" and clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY) then
        clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY):setAdminValue(_slider:getCurrentValue());```
# 
    elseif _tickbox.customData == "Fog" then
        if clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY):isEnableAdmin() then
            clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY):setEnableAdmin(false);
        else
            local val = self.sliderFogSlider:getCurrentValue();
            clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY):setEnableAdmin(true);
            clim:getClimateFloat(FLOAT_FOG_INTENSITY):setAdminValue(val);

Alright. A cookie for anyone who can tell me what is causing the error here. I am not understanding the debug log... The items get removed correctly but an error still occurs ??

    local playerInv = getPlayer():getInventory():getItems()
    local playerInv2 = getPlayer():getInventory()
    local ItemsToRemove = 1
    
    local table = {'Necklace_SilverSapphire', 'Necklace_SilverDiamond', 'NecklaceLong_SilverEmerald', 'NecklaceLong_SilverSapphire', 'NecklaceLong_SilverDiamond','Ring_Right_MiddleFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Left_MiddleFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Right_RingFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Left_RingFinger_SilverDiamond','BellyButton_DangleSilverDiamond','BellyButton_RingSilverAmethyst','BellyButton_RingSilverDiamond','BellyButton_RingSilverRuby','BellyButton_StudSilverDiamond'}
    
    for i=0,playerInv:size() - 1 do
            local ItemType = playerInv:get(i):getType()
            
            for i=0,#table do
                if table[i] == ItemType and ItemsToRemove > 0 then
                    playerInv2:Remove(ItemType)    
                    ItemsToRemove = ItemsToRemove - 1

Guys if there's already an animation in the game, I need to trigger it, right?

just find in files for setActionAnim and you'll see what is used in the vanilla code, not sure if there are others

I'm reading this player:animEvent("sitGround")

thnx

Changing ItemsToRemove to ItemsToRemove=8 would remove 8 of those items for example

stiff furnace
#

It does...but I unfortunately do not understand it.

attempted index: storePos of non-table: null

I get what those words means, but not put together for this loop 😐

#

I will keep messin' with it

#

It's my 3:00am brain causing problems I think

humble oriole
#

the problem is with storePos not the code you showed

stiff furnace
#

Okay, maybe that's not the error...
I'm new to PZ scripting - typically when I get an error message it pops up on the screen with an error log. This error doesn't it just...shows a blank screen.

#

It shows this:

humble oriole
#

usually that happens to me when I call something that doesn't exist

stiff furnace
#

Ah okay

humble oriole
#

or misspell something

stiff furnace
#

I'm just running this code in the console, ``` local playerInv = getPlayer():getInventory():getItems()
local playerInv2 = getPlayer():getInventory()
local ItemsToRemove = 2

local table = {'Necklace_SilverSapphire', 'Necklace_SilverDiamond', 'NecklaceLong_SilverEmerald', 'NecklaceLong_SilverSapphire', 'NecklaceLong_SilverDiamond','Ring_Right_MiddleFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Left_MiddleFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Right_RingFinger_SilverDiamond','Ring_Left_RingFinger_SilverDiamond','BellyButton_DangleSilverDiamond','BellyButton_RingSilverAmethyst','BellyButton_RingSilverDiamond','BellyButton_RingSilverRuby','BellyButton_StudSilverDiamond'}

for i=0,playerInv:size() - 1 do
        local ItemType = playerInv:get(i):getType()
        for i=0,#table do
            if table[i] == ItemType and ItemsToRemove > 0 then
                getPlayer():getInventory():Remove(ItemType)
                ItemsToRemove = ItemsToRemove - 1
            end
        end
end```
#

It's probably something silly

#

I appreciate t he help. Maybe after a nights rest I will catch it

humble oriole
#

you may want to also use RemoveOneOf instead of Remove

#

I'd try both

stiff furnace
#

Oh, let me try that

#

It's just odd because the code works lol

humble oriole
#

idk if it'll fix your issue

stiff furnace
#

It does exactly what I want it to

humble oriole
#

you may be looping too many times

stiff furnace
#

Oh probably that

humble oriole
#

so it tries to find a value and there isn't one

#

so it just throws that error

stiff furnace
#

You're right. If I put **return **after ItemsToRemove = ItemsToRemove - 1 it does not throw an error. It also doesn't remove more than 1 item. But that does tell me it's an issue with the table loop

#

Okay. I think it has something to do with removing items while looping...probably not a good idea.

#

I replaced the table with a simple if, then statement and still got the error lol

            for i=0, players:size()-1, 1 do
                local player = players:get(i)
                local zlist = player:getCell():getZombieList();
                if(zlist ~= nil) then
                    for i=0, zlist:size()-1 do

When you index over a lua table not a java table

Final solutio

#

I put the items I want removed into a separate array 😐

neon bronze
#

What exactly are you trying to remove?

stiff furnace
#

This is for a more complex recipe system. So instead of duplicating recipes, the player just needs any combination of those 10 items in the table

I've been struggling to make this work for a week now.
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 block) in the lua interpreter ingame, it works...
So I tried to check whether the function is even running OnNewGame:"

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)
    print("DONE")
end

And... "DONE" string is displayed! So the event is triggered, although the name is not changed. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

neon bronze
#

try maybe initializing a new world? the description for the event is
**Triggered after a new world has been initialized. **

#

or try using ZombRandBetween

did you try just using getPlayer instead of getSpecificPlayer(player)
?

i dont know much about modding, but it seems redundant. in my mod i just used getPlayer or getSpecificPlayer(0)

Dam that's a trouble. Apparently IsoPlayer is getting instantly culled in MP

This is why in case one launches a lan session, it wouldn't work, until he shuts down the session!

mine is a trait tho, and i used getPlayer() to give them a wound when they spawn

rancid panther
#

also i was told to test the specific command line in console to make sure that command works

if getSpecificPlayer(playerNumber):reportEvent("EventSitOnGround") works using command console, then that part is fine

right?

Correct.

i want to make another mod some time in the future

it'll involve the health panel, so i wanna start out small by making cold packs work to relieve pain that appears on the health panel

oh neat. more first aid items always help, there's not enough of them in the game imo.

i want to make the first aid skill actually useful, but none of the mods currently out there suit my tastes

as well as making first aid from other players helpful

Well, since I know some people are curious about the mod I'm working on (and because I want to show off a bit) I have made some pretty big steps forward in how I'm calculating damage now for the offhand attack. Turns out, the whole "SwipeStatePlayer" thing I found really wasn't going to work out, as it still didn't take into account the offhand weapons skills. So, this lead me back to square 1, and I have now re-implemented the weapon damage/hit reaction code for zombies in Lua. There are still some bugs, like I need to figure out the window and fence climbing state stuff, but overall this is working for everything and getting pretty much the same values as vanilla. This has also let me add my own "hit reactions", so zombies will react to the right when you hit them from the left and whatnot too. 😄 I also found there is a Hook that is unused where you can actually handle all of the damage calcs and stuff in Lua. So, I have added an option to hook into that so that my functions handle vanilla attacks too. Still very much WIP on that front, but this ensures consistency between hand damages, AND will also let me expose a whole bunch of stuff in the Sandbox options for combat. Will likely make that the default once I have everything working. Sorry for the book, just a lot to talk about here. drunk Here's a thing of my character hitting a crit because of a zed's back, but 100% calc'd from me.

can u help with another thing? ive found myself stuck on context menus. is there a way to make more than 1 action for consume . like in Open jackets mod i think. imma working on medical items and big contex menus would be terrific i think

#

ive found CustomContextMenu line but does this work with arrays? and if yes what is syntax for that

tulip wolf
#

I'm confused with the rolls system in the distributions... Would it be a probability of the item being in that container?

weary dock
tulip wolf
weary dock
#

so prop of item be in container is proporshional to all items in table / to your item

shy hearth
weary dock
#

gonna use that then

tulip wolf
#

if i remove the rolls option, would the item be 100% in a container?

weary dock
#

if so i guess - it will be there

#

but no rolls = no items there from loot table

#

im not sure that u will achieve what u want by that

tulip wolf
#

I want the item always in that container with high probability, for test custom items...

#

For me to know that they are being generated

#

in that specific container

weary dock
#

So u def need to use loot tables

#

Mb try to create special container that bound to ur specific loot table

tulip wolf
weary dock
#

And in table let be like 4 your items and 1 control item then do several rolls and u will get ur item with high prop

#

In theory that must work nice but i didnt work with tables here yet. So mb there will be some technicalities

tulip wolf
#

example: items = { --"Base.p88p", 0.5, This number is very small and I believe that it is very rare for this item to be there

weary dock
#

Which loot table u looking into now? So i can check out this myself

tulip wolf
#

Anyway, I'm going to test with a value of 50 just to make sure the item is there🤣

to answer your question, I'm looking at this gunstorestorage ={ all={ rolls = 2, items = { "Base.132Box", 2, "Base.500Box", 2, "40Clip", 1, "Base.PPSHClip", 0.7, "Base.LewisDrum", 0.5, "Base.WitchySMGClip", 0.6, "Vest_WitchyCarrier", 0.6, "RogueGreaves", 0.5, "RogueArms", 0.5, "Shoes_Rogue", 0.2, "Gloves_Rogue", 0.3, "Base.medbag2", 0.2, "RogueWaist", 0.5, "Vest_RogueVest", 0.5, "RogueHoodie", 0.5, "RogueMask", 0.3 "Base.strapchest", 0.5, "Base.MVest", 0.5, "Base.m79", 0.2, "Base.WitchySMG", 0.3, "Base.TKShotgun", 0.2, "Base.Lewis", 0.2, "Base.PPSH", 0.4, "Base.ClericRevolver", 0.3, "Base.RogueSniperRifle", 0.2, "Base.MAS38", 0.3, "Base.MASClip", 0.6, },

Bag_MoneyBag = {
rolls = 10,
items = {

yup def up to 100

an item with 0.001 would be perfect and pretty rare

i guess so but u still need a loot table or to modify existing

there is still a distribution in the folder called ProceduralDistributions I will get even more lost

Could someone explain the difference between standard recipes and evolved recipes? I don't think I quite get when to use one over the other.

In my case I'm trying to "transform" one item into a related clothing item (think newspaper into newspaper hat), which seems like it would be a candidate for an evolved recipe...but why not just use a standard recipe with the item as an ingredient and the hat as an output?

Is there some advantage to one over the other that I'm missing?

So, if each of those lines gives a 10% chance of a saucepan to spawn, even if there's only one spawn roll, it's possible for there to be anywhere between 0 and 10 saucepans in the container.

#

I think the difference in chances between lines is meant to create a "median" likelihood, as in, it's most likely for there to be 1-6 saucepans, less likely for there to be 7-8, and very unlikely for there to be 9-10.

Disclaimer being that I have no idea if I'm actually right, I haven't looked at the backend code, this is just the conclusion I came to based on my understanding of the roll/spawn system.

if math.random() < container.item.chance then

when you say engine power dya mean max speed? or something more specific

gleaming lynx

#

ah yea, that's why I was asking if increasing/decreasing max speed would do

#

you could probably make a part that you could install, which would increase the max speed

i'm fairly certain that maxspeed will also translate into like, better pulling power in relation to mass

#

not 1:1 but

drifting ore

not just max speed

gleaming lynx

#

nevermind, you can set quality, loudness and enginePower with setEngineFeature(x1, x2, x3) respectively

#

where x3 is power

#

i don't know exactly what the difference between engineForce and enginePower is so if you find out then let us know

gleaming lynx
#

I don't understand why it works this way.

drifting ore
#

there's only engineForce in model's description

gleaming lynx
shy hearth
#

yea it looks like the only time enginePower is set directly by the code is in the exit() method

#

idk when that runs, I'd assume it's when a character exits the vehicle but that's a guess

gleaming lynx
#

And that still doesn't answer the question. How to change EnginePower? The exit method is not clear at all....

not sure why that didn't come up in my search 😅

#

if you only want to change the engine power, do vehicle:setEngineFeature(vehicle:getEngineQuality(), vehicle:getEngineLoudness(), newPower)

shy hearth
#

it still doesn't because it seems to be overwritten later in the code

bronze yoke
#

yeah, it's going to get reset every time you get out

#

maybe set it back OnExitVehicle? not sure if that's fired before or after

#

I'd do almost anything to have some comments in the java

my guess why is maybe sunday driver/speed demon originally changed enginepower

it definitely seems like a leftover from something like that

would that make the diff you think... it doesn't make sense but i can try

vanilla doesn't 'use' either, it triggers them

Thats what i mean

yea dont want that

Not necessarily

it wouldn't matter tbh

it's working

the ONLY part that isn't is onlightbulb

i got all context working perfect

just need to actually change bulb when click 😄

ill try it again with fresh mind here and report back

#

maybe i did something stupid lol

#

i know i dont need bulbitem or remove

#

i think thats only for submenu

both vanilla options use the same function

if remove is false then it installs bulbitem, if remove is true then it uninstalls the existing lightbulb

#

Is there a reason why people don't use sandbox variables at this point?

bronze yoke

they're useless for per-client options and there are some limited things that load before sandbox options so they can't be used to affect them

glass basalt
humble oriole
red tiger
#

AKA schematics of houses that you can apply.

drifting ore
#

havent really looked at them but it would use existing tiles. so lets say you have the addams family map on your server and it comes with perts tiles for that

#

zombies destroy the house windows... doors

#

you can replace them and they will also have player built properties as well

#

since those tiles are on the server you would be able to replace them after you destroy previous wall/tile

#

ill look into those other ones but i dont think they work exactly the same

#

would be nice if your windows are broken though and you can replace with exactly same tile that matches your house you take over. if there is a mod that does that, please feel free to let me know

you can't call fields directly most of the time

You are not able to access variables directly, and have to use a getter function to get the value. if there's no get function then you can't check that variable, unfortunately.

thats very unfortunate. I just need to check if an item is a TV or not

use item:getDeviceData():getIsTelevision()

the item instance not the script item

sort of - it's on Radio, an InventoryItem subclass

# fast galleon Bullets22Box should be string "Bullets22Box" or "Base.Bullets22Box" ?

does it need to be explicit when it's base?

Also, I have a pretty big question about IsoObject containers. I'm running into an issue when I remove items from the isoobject on the server side, I have to wait a short period of time before I'm able to put items into that container again or else I get an error. I was able to lower that time with a request sync, but I'd love to get rid of it completely. The error has to do with addtoItemSendBuffer, it's like after I remove items from the inventory it isn't ready yet to receive items.

Could someone help me figure out why my gun isn't appearing when the character equips it in game? Symptoms:

No gun model appears in hands or on the back
Character acts like the hands are empty (shoves instead of pulling a trigger while aiming)
While the invisible weapon is equipped, aiming does play the "M16BringToBear" sound I defined in the weapon's script file.
Magazine context menu does not have an option for "Load/Insert into gun"

glass basalt
#

do you have the model instantiated in a txt file? stupid question, but just to make sure

tacit tree
#

Define instantiated

glass basalt
#

the model is defined in its txt file

#

since models have a .x or .fbx and a .txt file that points Java to it

bronze yoke
#

it sounds like an item script issue to me

tacit tree
#

So... trying to imitate vanilla, I have 2 files in /media/scripts:
One script for weapon stat definitions
One script for item models

I tried putting both the model definition and the item definition in 1 file like Blackbeard's tutorial said to do but it didn't work.

bronze yoke
#

can i see the item script? i think if the model was the issue it'd still behave normally otherwise

#

there just wouldn't be a model

also, is this in scripts/ or a subfolder? this won't be causing your issue but if it's scripts/models_items.txt, that is a very generic name and mods with the same file names will cause conflicts
you should always be careful about this, because of steam workshop weirdness you can't safely change your file structure after release

When PipeWrench updates to an updated release of PZ and your code doesn't call a revised API call correctly, the compiler will immediately tell you this.

Lua can be written and interfaces to communicate with Typescript

you dont need to require any of your other files unless you are calling anything specifically from them. scripts do not count

# red tiger I'm laughing way too hard IRL with python rn

Like, I'll admit Py is good with ML amd some other concepts, but beyond that, I don't understand this mad rush to convert perfectly working apps to some new language, just because it's new.. Like, Py is slower than the C's, and provides less system access, resource access, etc... like whyyyyy??? lmao

I write transpilers. I'm by definitely insane.

....and they have since switched to JS for the engine scripts, so that's a couple years of my life wasted lolz

Pre-ukraine, my Russian programming contacts were worth a bit

Actually sad now.

true vault

We may not be talking about the same thing then Jab; Degica is a Japanese company, not Russian..

red tiger
#

True. I had an opportunity to suv-contract for a Russian friend to type the RPGMaker JavaScript codebase.

Would be kinda surprising either way that they would even consider talking to an outside party too; back in 2008/09 they wouldn't even talk to American companies for the US port of their engine.

red tiger
#

I mean.. I don't blame them.

true vault
#

(they even tried shutting down our forums from what I remember, until they realized that forum happened to be where a massive number of scripts used in games on their engine came from lolz)

Does anyone know if there is a problem with non-workshop mods? In testing my problem, I subscribed to a single gun mod, copied the files into my mod and unsubscribed. Then I put my mod in "C:\Users\myusername\Zomboid\mods" and the exact same problem happened... everything works except for an invisible gun model. WHYYYYYYYY

# tacit tree It is. Example is the MCX RATTLER mod.

Huh, okay well that kills my train of thought then. Have you downloaded some mods from Nexus to see if their file structure is different? That's probably what what I would check next. I know that mods on Nexus doesn't require the Workshop folder structure, so it may be that..

#

Aye, and def lemme know if that works; I've been thinking of uploading to there myself maybe too lolz
Make some of my stuff available to non-Steam users too. Plus free download points I can convert to IRL moneh each month haha

#

Alright, welp, time to go re-read that answer I was given forever ago and check into adding recipes dynamically.

Should I upload my sprite drawing code somewhere as a resource? It has good potential but I have no clue what for

tulip wolf
#

I'm trying to understand how to generate the item i created from the mod inside the containers

#

still don't understand how the distribution of modified items from mods to containers works in lua

glass basalt
#

The function I posted above injects items into the procedural distribution. I don't know if that's what you're trying to accomplish

#

you simply copy the function and call it

#

and it goes into lua/server/items/Yourfile.lua

tacit tree
#

"attachment world {...}"

What does this function do?

drifting ore
#

oh got it

#

when you place item it's where it sits on that tile

tacit tree
#

Ok, good to know.

This is infuriating. I've literally copied someone else's files that work and put them in my own mod and suddenly it doesn't show the model anymore.

drifting ore
#

did you compare the naming convention used in the scripts themselves?

#

even one cap letter or underscore would do it

tacit tree
#

Yes, I've been over that part with at least 4 different mods as examples.

drifting ore
#

everything after mods should be exactly the same

#

between both

tacit tree
#

What is "WeaponSprite" referencing? Both in game and in files.

tulip wolf
tacit tree
#

The entire folder or something more specific?

tulip wolf
#

if weapon> media/textures/2handed or 1handed

#

is the location of the weapon texture

#

I changed the images by photoshop

tacit tree
#

So you are saying that "WeaponSprite = blah" defines the texture to apply as found in /media/textures/blah.png?

tulip wolf
#

yes

#

I changed the texture of a weapon through photoshop, but I don't know if it's the right thing, because i noticed a problem in the drawing

#

example

FryingPan.png
tacit tree
#

So what does this refer to?

model mygun
{
mesh = weapons/firearm/mygun_model,
texture = weapons/firearm/mygun_texture,
}

true vault
tulip wolf
tacit tree
#

Then what is the difference between texture and WeaponSprite?

true vault
#

A texture is what is applied to the model itself; basically the image that gives it colour, lines, etc.

No clue where a weaponsprite is used

tacit tree
#

Ok... this might be it. In the following function of /media/scripts/mygun.txt, what does the bolded portion need to match? A function? A filename? A variable?

model mygun
{
mesh = weapons/firearm/mygun_model,
texture = weapons/firearm/mygun_texture,
}

true vault
#

That's just the name you want for the model; you reference that in the item definition.

#

So for example... (one sec, grabbing an example from my current mod)

tacit tree
#

So it needs to match:

item mygun
{...}

true vault
# 
item PlantFiberCord
{
  DisplayName = Plant Fiber Cord,
  DisplayCategory = Material,
  Weight = 0.15,
  Type = Drainable,
  UseDelta = 0.1,
  Icon = PlantFiberCord,
  WorldStaticModel = PlantFiberCord,
  cantBeConsolidated = false,
}

model PlantFiberCord
{
  mesh = WorldItems/Twine,
  texture = WorldItems/PlantFiberCord,
  scale = 0.55,
}

Notice the WorldStaticModel in the item definition, referring to the model by the same name?
