this worked btw thnx

XD

sour island
#

@quasi kernel Idk if I can help or if my mod helped - but I tap into when item is rendered in the inventory and apply changes - there I also add it to a list as a key so it doesn't get reprocessed.

jaunty marten
#

u can create ur own function for safe houses, just copy nonpvpzone from source and implement in lua, there's same logic

ancient grail
#

Ive done both checkers already thnx

#

How do I update a mod I've uploaded to the workshop?
I've tried sending an update twice over the last 14 or so hours and nothing has appeared on the modpage...

bronze yoke
#

unless you're using the x,y,z for something else you can simplify all of that to local sqObj = getPlayer():getSquare()

sleek hull
iron talon
#

Attempting to use the knockout function for a storm mod,

i'm unsure of how to write a timer to force a wakeup

function timer:onFire()
  local player = getPlayer()
  if player and not player:isIndoors() then
    player:knockOut()
  end
end
``` :/ this is all i have so far
#

any one able to point me in the right direction :p

bronze yoke
#

i don't see a knockOut() method

#

isIndoors() doesn't exist either, i'm not sure where you're getting these from?

iron talon
#

for the isIndoors()

#

if i remember correctly its a boolean method that returns true if the player is indoors and false if they are outdoors

#

actually not even sure this works but i swear someone else was using it in another storm mod to can find it here in a min

bronze yoke
#

for an isIndoors() you can just invert player:isOutside()

iron talon
#

o ya i use that too

#

but hmm, ok so is there something you know of that can replace the knockOut() method?

uncut meteor
#

knockOut is it sleeping or actual knockout

bronze yoke
#

i'm not really sure what that's supposed to do

iron talon
#

im just trying to have the effect of the players screen going black essentially, so I guess the sleep function could work

#

method* fml

uncut meteor
#

So if he is outside he goes to sleep?

iron talon
#

correct

#

during this weather event

jaunty marten
#

roflanebalo

uncut meteor
# iron talon during this weather event

i'm not an expert but maybe by getting the current weather and if its what you want make the player sleep check if player is already sleeping return nothing , and try using events as a timer there is one for each minute ingame,ten,Hours,Days. or OnChangeWeather Triggered when the weather is changing.

lusty drift
#

so does anyone have any interest on making the mini portable cassette player like Walkman WM -FX20/41?

shadow bough
#

but its disc

lusty drift
#

yeah

#

im not a modder so im not forcing everyone to get on it but it sure would be nice to have like the last time i ask about ODST armor mod ๐Ÿ˜„

bronze yoke
#

like for true music? they just added a walkman

lusty drift
#

oh they did?

bronze yoke
#

a few weeks ago if i remember

lusty drift
#

lovelyy thank you!~

Hello... Does anyone know where the metal sheet and bar window barricade health is in the files? I've looked all throughout media/ and can't find

#

I'm trying to buff their health

thick karma
#

@quasi kernel Hey can I DM you?

quasi kernel
#

Oh yeah, go right ahead.

#

Are my DMs closed or somethin? If so, friend me rq

#

@thick karma

thick karma
#

Nah just asking

ancient grail
#

Don wana be friends ei?

thick karma

@ancient grail I meant no re. cosmic's DMs being closed. I was just making sure it was not going to be annoying.

local vehicle = getPlayer():getVehicle()
vehicle:flipUpright();
vehicle:setAngles(ZombRand(0,6), ZombRand(0,6), ZombRand(0,6))
vehicle:setPhysicsActive(true)
calm depot
#

there are debug UIs for doing that

jaunty marten
#

besides this way needs too much actions

drifting ore
#

lol finally tomorrow when i get up and finish bug testing it will be alive!

Alright. I have now created a "cache" for all of the data that I need for the weapon damage and have changed the damage calculations to use this cache. Its soooooo much faster now. I also have changed up how I'm gathering targets. Went to go try it out and....

oops.gif
#

At least I know the damage stuff is actually working.

bronze yoke
#

LOL

#

Looking for a guy, who could do some custom occupations to our server
Once the custom occupation have been chosen, player will get the ability to choose more clothing in character creation menu. We also need to remove all the vanilla occupations

gusty wharf
#

What are the differences between OnCreatePlayer, OnCreateSurvivor and OnCreateLivingCharacter?

hollow shadow
#

Anyone know if its possible to make custom attack animations for modded weapons? I want to make a new heavy attack animations for the sledgehammer type scrap weapons

drifting stump
hollow shadow
#

A custom attack animation that doesnt exist in vanilla

drifting stump
#

That unfortunately i cant tell you its not my area

hollow shadow
#

darn

drifting stump
#

Arent there animation xml files?

hollow shadow
drifting stump
#

Can you paste the content of one in chat

hollow shadow
#

?

drifting stump
#

Im not home so cant look at them myself

hollow shadow
#

hmm im gonna look into the brutal handiwork mod, it seems to add a new unarmed attack

hollow shadow
#

also does anyone know where i can find the new vanilla melee sound files?

acoustic dust
#

is there a specific resolution limit for the poster.png?

#

or can it be any picture?

hot patrol
hollow current
#

is there any way to get real life time?

#

I am trying to make it so that a function is executed as a specific time of the day (irl) daily in a server

tardy wren
#

Say, if I want to call Recipe.GetItemTypes.CanOpener() in my Lua... How can I instantiate a new empty ArrayList to pass to that function?

ancient grail
# gusty wharf What are the differences between OnCreatePlayer, OnCreateSurvivor and OnCreateLi...

~~oncreate is the main output function (sometimes the oncreate is used not only to generate item but also to interact with stuff since this is an easy function to setup)

ontest is a bool to show or hide the context, (an example would be if your hand is injured you cant do the function, or if youre taking meds you can check if youre sick)

onperform affects the result(like food you cook goes thru a logic that returns various results such as overcook)~~

#

damn i read that wrong

#

oncreate survicor and livingcharacter are mostly used for NPC functions
onCreatePlayer is well when you create your character

gusty wharf
#

Because my mod has OnCreatePlayer as an event and it for some reason also activates when you load in an existing game with a living character when the player character is technically created now

ancient grail
#

here

thick karma
#

Best test ever

tardy wren
#

I still need to create a bunch of ArrayLists...

ancient grail
#

anyone knows how to check if a polayer has a walkietalkie

#

is there a tag?

willow estuary
#

There is no walkie talkie tag, but there is also nothing stopping modders from adding whatever tags they want/need to items.

#

something like THE_SCRIPT_ITEM:getTags():Add("YOUR_NEW_TAG") should work; it's in the new items tag documentation.

#

From almost a year ago? Don't have a link offhand.

tardy wren
#

Would you happen to know if it's possible to make an instance on an ArrayList from Lua?

willow estuary
#

Oh, I'm not a detail guy; I can't answer any technical questions offhand, it's all "beep boop 1010101 sorcery" to my two brain cells; I just do low level handyman shit.

tardy wren
#

Ah, a shae

frank elbow
#

ArrayList.new(), I believe

tardy wren
#

it can't be that simple...

frank elbow
#

You're right, I lied. Your first step is to solve the P versus NP problem ||(this is not serious, the above should work)||

drifting stump
#

it is that simple

#

why do you want it anyway?

tardy wren
drifting stump
#

but why

tardy wren
#

Autopatcher for recipes

drifting stump
#

but if youre trying to get the items you could just call on the script manager

#

and use for example getItemsTag

tardy wren
#

getItemsByType will return the same stuff as Recipe.GetItemTypes?

drifting stump
# 
function Recipe.GetItemTypes.CanOpener(scriptItems)
    scriptItems:addAll(getScriptManager():getItemsTag("CanOpener"))
end
#

you could just call

getScriptManager():getItemsTag("CanOpener")
tardy wren
#

Right, you're telling me to reimplement these functions in my code

drifting stump
#

no im telling you to use the exact same functionality those functions use to reduce the number of calls

tardy wren
#

Okay... But for things like SharpKnife, I'll have to do

    scriptItems:addAll(getScriptManager():getItemsTag("SharpKnife"))
    addExistingItemType(scriptItems, "FlintKnife")
    addExistingItemType(scriptItems, "HuntingKnife")
    addExistingItemType(scriptItems, "KitchenKnife")
    addExistingItemType(scriptItems, "Machete")
ancient grail
#

Are you adding eveything on a single table

tardy wren
#

addExistingItemType just check for duplicates

#

No, I will have several tables, this is why I need to make new ones

ancient grail
#

I dont get it but ok

drifting stump
#

i really dont see what youre going for there

ancient grail
#

He wants to colonize the vanilla items

#

Die vanilla!

tardy wren
#

I need to patch modded recipes that were written before the whole tag system was made... Like, if a different mod adds a new welding mask, my mod will fix recipes hardcoded to only the vanilla mask

worldly olive
#

But in that case wouldn't you just need to add the tag to the item and that's it?

tardy wren
#

So first, I'm trying to get the list of items for each of the types

worldly olive
#

The tag will automatically be detected and applied

ancient grail
#

So you want to compare the new list after its nodded with your copied original list

worldly olive
#

YOu only need to add it to the specific item

tardy wren
worldly olive
#

Oooh ok ok, got it now

tardy wren
#

And I'm trying to fix it

drifting stump
#

right

#

why dont you just edit the recipe to call that function

tardy wren
ancient grail
tardy wren
#

...Maybe I should just shove the recipe source into the functions and call it a day

drifting stump
#

doSource("[Recipe.GetItemTypes.SharpKnife]")

worldly olive
#

What I get is that instead of having something like:

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SharpKnife],
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.ChopTree],
Log,

The recipes are like:
Keep Axe/HandAxe
Keep HuntingKnife/KitchenKnife
Log

tardy wren
ancient grail
#

Whats doSource?! Wizardy unlocked

drifting stump
#

basically doParam for recipes

worldly olive
#

Magic....

#

Didn't know about it

tardy wren
#

That makes this so simple

ancient grail
#

Hell yez thats mighty useful

tardy wren
#

No caching, just editing the recipe like it;s a frickin file

ancient grail
#

U might want ro add katana btw

ancient grail
tardy wren
zinc pilot
tardy wren
#

I saw some car mods tho

tardy wren
drifting stump
#

ughh try getSource():clear() before

tardy wren
#

No, no, I need to like... Replace only a single... Source Item in there?

#

if I want to set it with DoSource, I'll have to extract the rest of the source first, won't I?

drifting stump
#

you can FindIndexOf then getSource():remove(index)

tardy wren
#

and DoSource adds onto the array of sources?

drifting stump
#

or findSource("ItemType") then getSource():remove(SourceObject)

drifting stump
tardy wren
#

Hmm, from what it seems, DoSource does append to the array

#

So I do need to delete the old faulty line... Which is the trigger source for me, so no worries

acoustic dust
#

hey guys, finally got into making my first mod. want to know if this simple recipe is correctly coded

    imports {
        Base
    }

    recipe Craft Money
    {
        SheetPaper2;1,
        
        Result:Money=10,
        CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
        Time:25.0,
        Category:Shop,
    }

what are the names for all the professions? as I am having issues with my revamped mod spawning in other places not the ones in the lua.

#

Good morning.

vivid linden
#

that didnt work can someone dm me and see my lua what is going on is weird

frank elbow
#

Probably better luck just posting the relevant bits here

#

Anyone know where i can find the new sound files for melee weapons?

#

im assuming they are hidden somewhere

#

is it one of these? how do i open these stressed

hot patrol
#

Can anyone help me determine what these errors mean and how I can fix it? I got it when I was adding clothing options to an item I was making. I think it is tied to them having the same display name but from I can tell the hoodie works the same way

#

Here i am again asking about tweaking... sorry XDD Whats the best and safest way to modify vehicle characteristics without an overwrite or vehicletweaker? is there any kind of doparam script type for vehicles? on this style i meanlocal vehicle = scriptManager.instance:getVehicle("Base.Van") if vehicle then vehicle:DoParam("engineLoudness = 80") end

weak sierra
#

u'll get more people to read it

hot patrol
#

good point but I did figure it out

ancient grail
#

You just have to find the actual error

hot patrol
#

How do I make a recipte return you 2 items as the result?

hot patrol
ancient grail
#

OnCreate
Or just add =2 i think

#

Let us see

hot patrol
#

no I want it to be 2 seperate items

#

not the same

ancient grail
#

Then u have to use on create

#

And create a lua file for that

hot patrol
#

Lua is way too foreign for me. I'll leave that alone for now

ancient grail
# 
function YourFunctionName(items, result, player)
    local inv = getPlayer():getInventory() 
    inv:AddItem("Base.Crowbar")
    inv:AddItem("Base.Apple")
end
hot patrol
#

I think I might be able to figure that out. thank you. also You had talk,ed to me about this before but how do I have it tranfer condition to the new item?

#

in my case I am taking a weapon and turning it into clothing and then a recipe to undo it

#

and turn it back into a weapon

ancient grail
#

you need to store the specific param to a moddata on the result item
and when you convert back then transfer it back to the thing

hot patrol
#

Can I get an example? PU_PeepoDumb

hot patrol
ancient grail
#

yep

hot patrol
#

client server or shared?

Howdy, I'm just dipping my toe into the PZ modding scene. I've scanned over the wiki's modding section, but I was wondering if there was a user friendly guide on getting a simple basic mod started to familiarise myself with the debug environment and mod directory structure?

weak sierra
#

i just had the most fucked up workshop upload experience

#

a few days ago i updated a script.. yesterday i uploaded a copy of the mod the script is in, and it worked, the new content was there, and there's an error in the script from a few days ago

#

i go to look at the script

#

and it's an ancient copy from before those updates

spare burrow
weak sierra
#

but it's IN THE FOLDER I JUST UPLOADED FROM

#

but in the workshop copy it's current

#

i may have reverted the script inadvertantly

#

but why did it not upload that..

#

madness

spare burrow
#

workshop momento

fleet yarrow
weak sierra
#

the live copy should have had no syntax error

spare burrow
#

had that happening to me with stellaris on wednesdays/thursdays

weak sierra
#

but been old

spare burrow
#

wost days for updating

weak sierra
#

but it was new copy w/ error

#

that my workshop folder did not have

#

blows my mind

#

cant even trust the upload button now

#

Does somebody knows where to check the annotated maps code? I would like to confirm if they spawn forever or after certain time they stop appearing

hot patrol
# ancient grail server

Gotcha. How do I determine where these things go in the future? I'm sure it's self explanatory but if it isn't copy pasting and making minor tweaks I am genuinely clueless

ancient grail
ancient grail
hot patrol
#

Wait there are threads?

#

Oh damn

ancient grail
#

you will hear various opinions on this subject matter but its just how modders organize the thing

hot patrol
#

They really need to make those more noticeable

hot patrol
ancient grail
#

theads are new to us the option just prettymuch opened less than a month ago

ancient grail
#

from sir fenris guide

media/lua/shared/
Used for lua scripts shared by client and server-side logic. These are the first Lua scripts that get loaded.

media/lua/client/
Used for client-side scripts. UI elements, context menus timed actions and the like. These get loaded after any 'shared' lua scripts.

media/lua/server/
Used for server-side scripts. Item spawning, core farming, weather and other server-side events. These only get loaded when the game is actually started (loading a save, starting a server, etc).```
#

there are more explanation by other modders i just happen to saw this first . we all should read the materials . they are valuable

hot patrol
#

Ahhh, I see.

#

I well really need to dive into these threads later

worldly olive
#

oh, does client loads first than server? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

hot patrol
#

So I have another question. For my mod I can craft a weapon item into a clothing item and then turn it back. Now I am going to make it so the condition transfers over but here is another issue. Is it possible for that weapon to store patch and blood location data in case I craft the weapon back into a clothing item?

ancient grail
#

if you guys see some guides thats not yet there kindly share and post it

hot patrol
#

Or should I just make the clothing no repairable and dodge the issue all together

#

Blood saving on the texture between the two would be nice but is a lesser concern

ancient grail
viral notch
#

is there in item options something like icon scale?

hot patrol
#

I'm willing to learn and would like to be able to do it but I'm concerned it isn't possible since weapons can't take patches

ancient grail
ancient grail
#

like give it property and do some stuf with it

#

if you look at the lucky plushie mod

#

check the item

#

it has a moddata

viral notch
ancient grail
#

i dont think so

#

but i could be wrong

viral notch
#

do we have here any ui spec?

Ahh gotcha, yeah, got it up and running, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

Is there a place within the game directory that I can find the name of the base objects? Trying to figure out why its returning nil on

if not player:hasItemType("Screwdriver") - (assume Screwdriver isn't the right name for a screwdriver obj by that error)

bronze yoke
fleet yarrow
#

I'm not, I did try - but couldn't work out for the life of me how to navigate it/get into a save to debug in runtime. The workshop add-in Glytch3r suggested seemed to give me the error clarification though

bronze yoke
#

i really recommend using debug mode, it gives you a lua console and you can examine memory at the time of an error or a breakpoint and stuff like that

fleet yarrow
#

I'll give it another whirl, is the debug UI meant to permanently stay up, or is it toggleable?

#

oh hang on, it's behaving now

#

Not sure what the first try was all about!

ancient grail
#

so friken stressfull,,no wonder burryaga was pissed about this

#

gg

hot patrol
#

What mod is this going to be for?

fleet yarrow
#

I like that you dont have to exit the game to reload the lua, that's a great modding feature tonnes of other games are lacking

ancient grail
ancient grail
fleet yarrow
#

assume object scripts and such need a reload?

ancient grail
#

or oncreatecharacter stuff like that

#

you would have to restart everytime

fleet yarrow
#

Gotcha

viral notch
ancient grail
drifting ore
#

you have to make sure everything matches and you have to redo model folder and file also

#

but i dont think you can scale up

#

only down

#

i guess it would depend on what it is also, i think icon can scale so much. you will tell if it dont work because it will start to discolor

ancient grail
#

Burryaga might know but not sure if its for icon afaik its draw or something.

fleet yarrow
#

Is there a list of functions somewhere that I can refer to?

drifting ore
#

you just need the icons extracted from the pack to do it is all

viral notch
acoustic dust
#

idk

#

you get roles by being active in the discord

viral notch
#

withone im

acoustic dust
#

you need 3.5k+ messages for specialist if i remember correctly

viral notch
acoustic dust
#

ask them in the main chat

viral notch
#

well then idk

viral notch
#

if look upper

drifting ore
#

honestly does it matter

viral notch
#

yes

drifting ore
#

no it doesn't at all

#

and it's a useless clutter here

viral notch
#

better with blade than with hammer

drifting ore
#

haha

acoustic dust
#

you get xp once a min per message, so if you send 1 message and 10 messages in 1 minute, it will have the same effect

viral notch
#

so you suggest to make 100chars 1msg per min ?

drifting ore
viral notch
#

nah that was just questioned from start how the roles works and how to have more than one of them

drifting ore
drifting ore
viral notch
drifting ore
#

good stuff man

viral notch
#

so blair is writing an story...

#

maybe some tutorial how to scale icons on ground

#

with that what you said can be problem due there is none model for that (ground one) so game put force not scaled icon on ground as replace of model

so in game you got 32x32 icon on ground (and that i want to resize like to make it smaller without making separated model)

makes sense

Anyway to make my debug scenario appear first in the list of debug scenarios? Also any existing way to quickly reload a scenario from within game, so I don't have to go back to the main menu and click it again?

#

yes scrolling is too much work

red tiger
#

So writing a proper lexer for ZedScript allows me to also conveniently provide a linter for ZedScript. Yay.

#

I could provide info for lexical errors as such:

LexicalError: /media/scripts/a_script.txt:53:4 Unexpected '}'
#

Something like this would allow modders to quickly check their scripts for syntax errors.

acoustic dust
#

it's been like 20 mins, i still can't share my mod? wtf

drifting ore
acoustic dust
#

how do i check

drifting ore
#

upload again

acoustic dust
#

fair enough

drifting ore
#

if it didnt work before it most likey wont again

#

it will be sneaky also

#

will act like it was good and seem like it, but will end with an error code instead of saying complete

acoustic dust
#

hmm ok

#

so it's good right?

drifting ore
#

yea i'd think so for sure

fast galleon
#

shouldn't the base for this be a pie instead? ~ sleepy guy

vague raven
#

I've tried with Base.PiePrep and Base.PieWholeRawSweet. None seem to work.

bronze yoke
#

don't include module in BaseRecipeItem

#

BaseRecipeItem:PieWholeRawSweet,

#

the check for if a uniquerecipe applies doesn't account for module at all and including it will cause it to always fail

#

it compares PieWholeRawSweet and Base.PieWholeRawSweet, and obviously they aren't the same, so it doesn't work

vague raven
#

oh my god

#

I want to die

#

If that works I just can't even anymore

bronze yoke
#

i didn't test it on your exact recipe so i can't say if that's the only problem, but it is definitely one thing stopping it from working

vague raven
#

Ok well It didn't work but that could be related to the base game unique recipes not working either.

vague raven
#

It would seem using module Base doesn't work so I'm gonna try my own module.

#

what i currently have


{    
    uniquerecipe Epic Strawberry Pie
    {
        BaseRecipeItem:PieWholeRawSweet,
        Item:farming.Strewberrie,
        Item:farming.Strewberrie,
        Item:Base.CannedMilkOpen,
        Item:Base.CannedMilkOpen,
        
        Hapiness:30,
        Boredom:30,
    }
}``` seems to break the vanilla uniquerecipes
#

#

I break vanilla but my stuff works?

fast galleon

Is there an easy way to remove some experience from a skill and prevent it from going negative values, or should I set it back to 0 and then add the new desired total experience?

#

Or if you have a suggestion for a mod that makes us lose some skill points over time, I can review it.

vague raven
#

Thank you @bronze yoke. That worked. Oddly though, you must have module Base and you can't have a different module that imports Base not sure if I just lack an understanding of how all this works or It's just a weird quirk.

bronze yoke
#

i didn't check the code for anything like that, but it wouldn't shock me

#

most of the newer features don't support modules other than base correctly

Your mod is a niche modโ€”most people don't want to begin the game bitten. Subscription rate means nothing on a mod like that.

zinc pilot

if it's fun to make who cares

sour island
#

IsoObjects getID() should already be unique and technically save

zinc pilot
sour island
#

Otherwise you can generate one using an exposed method (I think it's getUUID())

zinc pilot
#

or is that just to get the ID from an already existing object?

sour island
#

I forget what static means in Java - but if you mean if it saves I believe so - at least for inventory items I tested it on

thick karma
#

Static means that you do not instantiate it

#

A static thing is accessed the way it's made, e.g., a Math class would commonly be static, because you don't need to create an object to perform many mathematical operations.

Also, I made this mod last summer

Makes it so injuries simply never get better - bleeding can be stopped while bandaged, that's it

Is there any lower level info out there on vehicle stats? Such as how the gear ratios are calculated (since there's no final drive), what units the values are, so forth.

#

I'm wondering to some extent how the game engine would cope with using more realistic values for engine force, gear ratios and mass. I assume the suspension and wheel friction would also need touching as a result of it.
But I have not found any info on what the values are based on, what units they are, how exactly they influence the game (it may not act the same way as irl)

I wrote in location data for a future linter.

I don't know how exactly the format can be in terms of bracing vs spacing requirements etc.

So that'll need to be known for a linter to be made and be consistent with the language specifications.

All my current lexer does is detect words as tokens, terminating on either spaces or \n.

this doesnt really do anything with the results atm except load them into python objects. but then, options lol. its valid reading key / value types from json templates so does some data type conversion from str and error checking

Does the game have a way of cleaning up panels that are invisible, no longer on the manager, and no longer assigned to any Lua variables? If not, what is a good way to fundamentally destroy an ISPanelJoypad in both Lua and Java when I'm done with it?

#

I'll need to know things like if in recipe, Stick=1;.. can be Stick = 1 ; ..

or module Base{ instead of ```module Base

..

quasi geode
#

ya, thats why i just ported the java code pretty much exactly. save the hassle of potential parsing inconsistencies

thick karma
#

No biggie... I don't think these panels could ever realistically cause a memory issue by nature but you never know... I figure you would have to open a whooooole lot of them, since they seem fairly data-light

red tiger
#

A lot of the work in my current design is early detection of data types for assignments and hard-coding those types into objects that has all the pre-defined properties as fields.

quasi geode
#

i cheated. had it parse, any new key/value pair a block it would write the key and its value into a json file. the json went through 4 basic regex's so its "weight": "float", etc

red tiger
#

It's not cheating. You're doing what the Java code does like you said.

quasi geode
#

see thats exactly how mine was before, all hardcoded

red tiger
#

The reason I hard-code it is because it's literally the rules in the language for these reserved properties.

#

It also helps someone who may use the API.

#

It's only what, 600ish properties?

#

Just a little bit of arthritis medication and some typing and then it'll be done until updates to the language are made.

#

Also, what's the situation with this scripting language's name? Will it be ok to keep using "ZedScript" as a placeholder? I plan to publish my work to npmjs when it's ready.

#

Thanks for getting back to me so soon and providing your Python example.

quasi geode
#

I dont know if it has a actual name

red tiger
#

When speaking with Aiteron about this, we agreed on a placeholder name "ZedScript" until another name is made official. (Or that one is)

quasi geode
#

personally I like it. any json variation could be labelled UnZedScript ๐Ÿ˜…

red tiger
#

Yeah. My only concern is publishing under a name that is then incorrect if another name takes its place.

All good. I'm cautious, not expecting. <3

I understand if no variables reference data, Java collects garbage, but I wasn't sure how the game stored references to my Lua tables in Java

#

Esp half-java stuff like panels

red tiger
thick karma
#

That include UIElement inits and such

red tiger
#

If you don't need to know all of that for what you do then your parser works.

quasi geode
#

ya the hardcoded variant was for parsing scripts and executing the good chunks of the lua in python (up to the main menu, and all the code i needed to error check and test ORGM)
now i just need a basic parser without all the lua compat so doesnt need to be complex

red tiger
#

Huh.. That sounds like a complex project.

#

Hahah I'm saying this while writing a 1:1 transpiler for Lua to Typescript.

#

I almost want to think that you've tried Jython at some point.

quasi geode
#

not as much as you think. lol. it was pretty hacked together. lots of duct tape. the lua / python was seemless though, lupa library

red tiger
#

oooh a library I don't know.

quasi geode
#

I havent messed with Jython. and Lupa is awesome

red tiger
#

I paused my transpiler because I felt that what I'm doing with the scripts right now is a more immediate help to modders than upgrading PipeWrench.

#

Most of the questions I see in here are people who are lost in the technicalities of scripting. =/

#

Let me know if this parser needs something to support another project or help out with some other tool. =)

quasi geode
#

not sure where its going yet. currently directing it towards bug hunting lol

red tiger
#

If I could suggest one thing for the b42 schema for ZedScript, use null instead of empty strings with commas.

#

or nil to familiarize with Lua.

#

I believe I saw some of that empty string with commas when defining sounds.

quasi geode
#

hrm ya i spotted some yesterday too

red tiger
#

There's a def without a , before a } and a ,, that I interpreted originally as a syntax error.

#

Replacing ,, with , fixed it for my parser.

#

Explicit nils or unsets would help show what's going on to readers.

#

For non-programmers, none might be good.

quasi geode
#

, isnt needed before } If i'm remebering right (sorry its been a few years since i really looked at all this) files arent split by newlines at all (they get stripped), key value pairs are inside any block are split by , which is why the last entry in a block before } doesnt need it.
,, just feeds it a extra blank key/value, which doesnt conform so it gets tossed

#

i really should double check though, as i said its been a while since i really looked and my memory is crap.

red tiger
#

I can write in a check to handle those situations.

small topaz
# gleaming storm How do i make a trait unremovable from a profession?

This is done by the code profession:addFreeTrait("yourTraitHere"). In order to achieve this without buggy behavior, it is the best idea if you first make a new version of the trait you want to assign (a "fake version" of it). Then, when game starts, remove the fake version and exchange it with the actual trait.

small topaz
#

and you still need to add profession:addFreeTrait("FakeOutdoorsman") to your profession ofc....

I literally copied the wardrobe object script and changed a few parameters assuming that would do the job?

where

is that vanilla

Aye, standard wardrobe. I see it in the items list now, think I borked the script for the file somehow. The object's got a missing symbol over it though, so I assume it's missing a texture or something

Oh boy, I must be an idiot. I've just realised that furniture objects in the game are sprites; it's only world items like weapons, clothes and the likes that are models ๐Ÿคฆ

I don't suppose there's any handy links or tutorials on custom sprite creation is there? I can't find anything to do with it, nor texturepacks.

Custom texture packs and tile definitions

Custom .pack files If you have custom map tiles, you will need to create a .pack file containing those tiles for the game to load.

Custom Tile Templates

Floor Tile Template: The red square tile is the base, brown blending tiles are for dirt/sandy blends while the green ones are for grassy blends. Difference is subtle and probably doesn't matter too much though. Each tile is 128x256, so these would go with the 2x textures. Example: Spoiler Wall Ti...

So today I discovered that a whole bunch of people are now being taught the terms upper camel case and lower camel case instead of PascalCase and camelCase... Does anyone have any sources on when this began? Is this just differences in international convention or new programmers using words in a sloppy way or what?

red tiger
#

I'm over here working on lexical analysis and these guys are like "Plus the strings!"

thick karma
red tiger
#

PascalCase is not camelCase so it's even more strange to hear it like this.

thick karma
#

Oh. I mean did anyone talk that way 20 years ago? It seems like a terrible move if it's a new development given that it makes "camel case" a worthless phrase by itself and makes me have to use more words to convey the same idea, but I am obviously a wookiee so don't mind me

red tiger
thick karma
#

I am seeing MULTIPLE articles online trying to convince people that it's fine to call ThisVariable camel case and I am just sitting here like how in the what in the why.

red tiger
thick karma
#

Dude it's becoming pervasive. I saw it adopted as the convention for some in development app as well

#

I mean not one I would use but still

#

I just started looking and I'm finding it everywhere. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

red tiger

#

I'd correct people. If they get mad, I'll ask them to reflect on what's more important to them and how saying this can hurt others who may be going through education.

thick karma
#

Bro okay ignore the dev if you want but the dark background is from Python's PEP8 documentation.

#

At that level there is nothing to correct, they're choosing this convention consciously

red tiger
#

xD

#

snake_case

#

PascalCase camelCase

thick karma
#

In Python it almost makes sense (ignoring historical convention) because it's snake_case or CamelCase and they don't recommend camelCase for anything

red tiger
#

If that's the case with the dev, they're still wrong at the end of the day.

thick karma
#

Ultimately word meanings are just convention. If the entire planet agrees that camel case is now a category of cases instead of a specific case, it becomes so for all practical purposes

#

But I am trying to nail down when this happened

red tiger
#

I only just found this out thanks to you posting it.

frank elbow
#

No idea when it happened, but I've definitely heard all of those terms for a long while

thick karma
#

Hearing the terms is not the confusion here, Omar

frank elbow
#

I'm referring to your original message

red tiger
#

I think it's silly to willfully lie to people until it becomes practiced and agreed truth. This is engineering.

thick karma
#

Okay got it

thick karma
red tiger
thick karma
#

If someone genuinely believes that camel case appropriately describes a word with a "hump" in front, it may be silly, but it's also not lying.

#

And if a whole society believes it, it's language

#

Language is often silly

red tiger
#

It tells me that whoever is saying it doesn't know what they're talking about.

molten raft
#

does anyone know some Event for when an item it's placed down but it's not a tile type?

red tiger
frank elbow
#

If it makes you feel any better, the clearer terms are winning (but this suggests the upper & lower terms have been around for some time)

thick karma
#

I mean, yes, we use the same sounds for utterly different things and we use a range of conventions and spellings that conflict with one another because ultimately we spell on the basis of favored historical spellings (not all mind you, and not local to any particular point in time)

#

So yes language is often silly, definitions are often silly

#

But they persist nevertheless

thick karma
#

Thanks for that Omar you actually blew my mind I didn't think to do that

#

I just naively searched for some etymological research on this

#

I am a bit obsessive about etymology...

frank elbow
#

Unfortunately that data is def limited, I expected to see usage (of the more popular terms) further back

thick karma
#

Probably because I took 5 years of Latin when I was a younger lad and got carried away

thick karma
#

Still revealing

#

I can't believe those term have been around 23 years minimum

#

How absurd.

red tiger
#

I'm going to say this and close this conversation. I'm looking at it from an engineering perspective, not a linguistics perspective.

thick karma
#

For sure, I hear you, and I agree that it's an inferior distinction in the sense that it wastes development time.

#

I don't love it, I just tend to be flexible and let people talk how they talk

#

Language is total chaos... History + convention = wtf is even going on.

I actually DID "correct" someone earlier before investigating and stumbling down this rabbit hole

Fwiw I thought the topic was interesting. The linguistic perspective basically boils down to prescriptivism vs descriptivism. I tend to agree that it doesn't really matter, though, as long as there's consistency within a project

any tips on opening an fbx in blender? Do I need to download something first?

im trying to get a function to be executed every 1 min after the server restarts. is this the correct way to do it? I've been testing it on a hosted server and doesn't seem to work, so not sure if its entirely wrong or if it works only for dedicated servers

RestartAlert = RestartAlert or {}

-- This function checks the current time and displays a message on the player's screen
-- if the server restart time is approaching.
function RestartAlert.CheckServerRestartTime()
  --Code removed due to discord's character limit, plus pretty irrelevant to the problem
end

-- Define a function that will be called when the server starts
function RestartAlert.OnServerStarted()

    -- Add an event to the event manager to check the server restart time every minute
    local timer = LuaEventManager():AddEvent(function()
        RestartAlert.CheckServerRestartTime()
    end, 60000) -- Check the time every minute
end

-- Add the RestartAlert.OnServerStart function to the server start event
Events.OnServerStarted.Add(RestartAlert.OnServerStarted)```
thick karma
#

The files are formatted like so:

# Hey, I am starting a convo with you.
## Oh, hello there.
## I don't want to have a convo with you!
### Why not?
#### Because!
## ... (Remain Silent)
# Oi, I am a different person starting a different convo with you.
## Oh, gee, wow.
### I think they get it.
frank elbow
hollow current
#

oops forgot to change it's supposed to be LuaEventManager

#

Initially thought it was getEventManager

#

even then, a simple

-- Define a function that will be called when the server starts
function RestartAlert.OnServerStarted()
    while(true) do
        print("test")
    end
end

-- Add the RestartAlert.OnServerStart function to the server start event
Events.OnServerStarted.Add(RestartAlert.OnServerStarted)```

Doesn't seem to be working on a hosted server
frank elbow
#

Looks like OnServerStarted is triggered only after the UDP engine is set up, so I believe you're right that it wouldn't run for hosted (not certain, though)

hollow current
frank elbow
#

I don't think so. AddEvent doesn't accept those functions as far as I can see

#

If you're trying to do something on a timer my initial though is that you'd utilize one of the Every~ events (or OnTick, but for something that doesn't require that precision that's not too necessary imo), whichever one is frequent enough for your use case

hollow current
#

is there an "every" event that is repeated every irl 1 min?

#

i never worked with every events actually so not sure what they are

frank elbow
#

Those events are based on ingame time. I'm referring to EveryDays, EveryHours, EveryOneMinute, and EveryTenMinutes

hollow current
#

i guess its not very workable with since if I use EveryOneMinute, for example, its bound to be less than an irl minute

frank elbow
#

You can keep track of the elapsed time by storing an initial time & comparing to it using getTimeInMillis (or a similar one that's in seconds, I believe? Unsure what it's called off the top of my head)

And then people can listen for the command

And whatever

[Command: commandString] perhaps

Optionally in the option text

Anywhere

calm depot
#

yeah, a context value and the dialog string

#

on which note, localisation strings

#

the dialog tree should be able to consist purely of localisation vars

I'm not clear on what that entails but right now I can only read a text file written in English... if you have good ideas for reworking the algo I am open to it but I might not be smart enough to understand them from crumbs alone lol

I think just being able to treat a string as something intended to be an argument to getText would suffice, with some way to specify that in the syntax

I would, though there is a pure-lua implementation of a JSON parser ๐Ÿ˜‰

That seems right

calm depot

that's exactly what it does, yes

thick karma

Would that be inherently more compatible with other languages?

calm depot

I used it for PAYDAY2 config

I'd imagine it'd work fine on PZ too

it means that people can run their config through a linter to validate basic JSON syntax

then all you have to worry about is making sure the tree structure is correct

I think there's value in having a simple syntax for dialogue or anything string-heavy, but JSON would def make it easy to extend with whatever

Yeah I'm not sure which would be best tbh.
