sorry, went to lay down and fell asleep

[ancient grail]

aside from not being dark mode i dont see anything else wrong with it

[nova socket]

Sounds like me being 30 y.o.

[cunning kestrel]

shout out and thank you to @ancient grail and @sour island for the continued support ! ❤️ (and the others ive missed ofc)

Anyone know how to have the character twoHand an item ... I have him equip a barbell as 2 handed, they fill both slots. but in my custom animation he still has it linked to 1 hand only...

[faint jewel]

it will only like to the main hand if you set it to 2 handed.

you have to make sure the animation uses the item right\

[cunning kestrel]

so its making sure the animation is pixel perfect ?

[faint jewel]

yeah joyfully so .

lol

[quick sandal]

Do any of y'all know how one might increase the hair growth speed?

[faint jewel]

i would LOVE for you to be able to actually attach items to hands.but it dont do that

[quick sandal]

Wondering where I could find the code for it

[cunning kestrel]

Well , Foook 😄 this gonna be fun xD its like slightly off from the anim.-_-

[faint jewel]

lol it sucks. sooo bad.

kinda why i am taking a break from the carry mod.

that and it's down to things that would be quite difficult to redo.

[pulsar heath]

is it wrong when i know why something doesnt work but stall for time to charge more because the guy is a douche who thinks he knows everything?

😄

specially when he makes me work on the weekend ...

tbh im following the procedures he told me to be the reason of the problem... which they arent

[cunning kestrel]

Hi @pulsar heath , i think this should help you out 😉

If (customer.IsDouche) 
  bill.rate = bill.rate * 1.5:
End

[pulsar heath]

😄

[cunning kestrel]

you're a car mechanic ?

[pulsar heath]

its an app, to manage subs in a media group i made like 10 years ago

was hired by my "replacement" after i left the company

[cunning kestrel]

xD wow , kinda funny

[pulsar heath]

i tend not to stay more than 4 years in the same place

it gets boring and i dont like boring stuff

[thick karma]

Also stopped me in dual wielding animations. @cunning kestrel

Got so tedious

Felt like the equivalent of needing to reset joypad focus every time I press a button on joypad

[pulsar heath]

talking about tedious... still need to finish the GUI for the integration app

the code is done... but the gui... i hate coding gui's

[faint jewel]

the IK animations thing... i just attached the hands to the item.

[thick karma]

If implementing gamepad support were as unnecessarily tedious as animating weapon motions, I never would've bothered lol

[faint jewel]

i know it's not GOOD, but it worked.

[pulsar heath]

@faint jewel if aint broken and works, just leave it alone 😄

good is subjective

[faint jewel]

lol i know. the postal truck has the GOOFIEST error.

[cunning kestrel]

did this aswel, but this doesnt make it match up with the second hand though 😄

[faint jewel]

and i can't figure out what it is.

[pulsar heath]

thats tied to game time, dunno if there is a way to manipulate game time on just a player or object

[pulsar heath]

what error does it have?

[faint jewel]

well lemme make a video.

[pulsar heath]

looool

wtf...

[faint jewel]

YUP

[pulsar heath]

trying to think of a reason why that happens

but makes no sense

[faint jewel]

welcome to MY hell.

[sour island]

Try it with another car?

[faint jewel]

the only other one with a working window roll down is the ecto 1

and it works fine

[pulsar heath]

so the problem is on the car object itself

[sour island]

perhaps the script for the mail truck

[pulsar heath]

have you tried with only vanila cars?

[faint jewel]

the scripting is identical

it was actually really basic to do.

[cunning kestrel]

ah looks fun

[quasi kernel]

No worries!

[pulsar heath]

hmmm the state of the window is overwritting the state of the door

[faint jewel]

what makes no sense is why is just says screw this and changes what animation is used

but ONLY if you exit the vehicle with the window down

[sour island]

What finger print is doing is decorating the exposed method

[pulsar heath]

hmm through some checks for the door state and window state

[sour island]

grabbing the provided params and changing the text provided to include the coroutine stack

[pulsar heath]

and see what you get

[sour island]

which is how the base game gets info for stack traces - how it shows file names, functions and lines

[pulsar heath]

the most logical thing i see is that when the window is open the door object that contains the window becomes the window

[sour island]

technically finger print could include file name too - but I thought that'd make it less readable

[quasi kernel]

The coroutine stack is what I'm interested in, I need to be able to get a mod name from the currently running file.

Well, running context moreso.

[sour island]

that's what this does

[quasi kernel]

Is there anything I'd need to do to fetch the mod name specifically or is it just a few code edits?

Like I don't mind any of the other data

Only interested in the mod name.

Assuming it'll even work for what I'm thinking about doing-

[cunning kestrel]

well almost xD

[quasi kernel]

Getting there!

[sour island]

    local coroutine = getCurrentCoroutine()
    local count = getCallframeTop(coroutine)
    local modID
    for i= count - 1, 0, -1 do
        local o = getCoroutineCallframeStack(coroutine,i)
        if o ~= nil then
            local modFileFunctionLine = KahluaUtil.rawTostring2(o)
            if modFileFunctionLine then
                local modFile = modFileFunctionLine:match(".* | MOD: (.*)")
                if modFile and modFile~="<THIS VERY MOD>" then
                    modID = modFile
                end
            end
        end
    end

This is what I do for finger print

[faint jewel]

getting it to line up in the main hand is the thing. then it's just make the offhand follow.

[sour island]

inserting this into a function should call on the call stack

[pulsar heath]

@faint jewel make a print to the console everytime you open the door with the result for getPassengerDoor findWindow isopen

maybe that will give a clue of why it happens

[sour island]

this only returns the last modID though

and ignores the last one which is fingerPrint

[faint jewel]

it has NO lua.

[pulsar heath]

only scripting?

[quasi kernel]

I do have a question, though. What mod do you figure it would read from in a metatable context?

[pulsar heath]

you should add some lua to track the issues at least

and i think youll probably need to use some lua code to prevent that from happening

[sour island]

I used the decompiled code and looking around how the f11 screen works

[faint jewel]

vehicle mods only need lua for distribution.

[quasi kernel]

I'm wanting to convert farmingconf.props and similar tables into metatables so I can "hook in" when data is added / changed.

Idea behind it is I can automate scraping data from farming mods and just cram it all into one large data set.

[sour island]

oh

[pulsar heath]

do you have the mod on the workshop already? ill have a look and mess around with lua to try and figure out whats happening and maybe provide a fix using lua

[faint jewel]

it is not yet

[pulsar heath]

can you zip it and send it to me?

[quasi kernel]

I need to know what mod the specific run context is in though, because otherwise I'm unsure if this'll work.

[pulsar heath]

lunch break i can have some fun trying to help you

[quasi kernel]

Unless there's some fancy way to determine what the currently loading mod is.

This is only needed on initial startup when the mods are loading, nothing else.

[sour island]

You need to confirm the loading mod is a specific mod?

[pulsar heath]

im lazy detecting running mods... i do it the bad way and look for a global the mod creates

[quasi kernel]

I need to try and dynamically determine what mod is currently changing the table data so I can assign it a place in the dictionary appropriately

[pulsar heath]

there is always a global somwhere 😄

thats what i did with my stats mod... to check if killcount is installed and enabled

[sour island]

        @LuaMethod(
            name = "toggleModActive",
            global = true
        )
        public static void toggleModActive(ChooseGameInfo.Mod var0, boolean var1) {
            String var2 = var0.getDir();
            if (!StringUtils.isNullOrWhitespace(var0.getId())) {
                var2 = var0.getId();
            }

            ActiveMods.getById("default").setModActive(var2, var1);
        }

[pulsar heath]

and it runs fine... and dynamicly changes the dataset used in the stats if the mod is loaded

[sour island]

There's this exposed global function

You could decorate this

[quasi kernel]

[sour island]

I would assume the UI calls on it

[quasi kernel]

Only thing is, would this be a problem in multiplayer?

[sour island]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[pulsar heath]

dont think so, since the player is forced to use the same mods the server has

[quasi kernel]

I need to detect changing to farmingconf.props / sprites and the like to try and "preserve" data in between farming mods.

The problem is that farming mods like Soul Filchers and Mo Crops implement the same crops.

[sour island]

I feel like we've spoken about this ...

[quasi kernel]

They overwrite each other's data.

We may have, though my memory is foggy.

[sour island]

This is for item scripts I presume?

[quasi kernel]

You mean item scripts as in the funny item creation via the scripts folder stuff?

[sour island]

I mean, the crops being overwritten and the issue lies in items behaving funny?

[quasi kernel]

The items technically work fine, I found a solution to that in my patch.

It just overwrites the seed data too when it changed crop data.

..which means you can get seeds for a crop you can't plant with said seeds.

This was addressed by associating different seeds with the same end crop in manual data entry, but I want to get away from that method if at all possible.

[sour island]

I'm not familiar enough with the farming system to know how seeds work - I would presume the seed items have an intended plant in script? or does it just operate off name?

[quasi kernel]

More like the plants have an intended seed.

Farming data has a seed name variable that it relies on.

The actual item itself isn't that interesting.

I could plant freaking dog leashes for all I care, as long as the plant requires it.

[sour island]

What file are these crop seed definitions?

[quasi kernel]

farmingconf.lua I think?

Something along those lines.

I'm not at my computer at this exact moment but I can get on if need be

It could be vegetableconf

I just know it's something like that on the server side.

[sour island]

farming_vegetableconf.props["Strawberry plant"].vegetableName = "farming.Strewberrie";
farming_vegetableconf.props["Strawberry plant"].seedName = "farming.StrewberrieSeed";

so each mod does this?

[quasi kernel]

Yeup

Problem comes up if they both do.. say..

["Corn"]

Like SF and MCM do

[sour island]

You could create a function with a require for each mod

setting the target as a require

[quasi kernel]

I thought about that, only issue I have with it is getting people to actually follow instructions.

Oop wait nvn

You changed the funny text

[sour island]

No i mean, in your lua I think

require soul's
store information from list

require mo farm
store information for list

[quasi kernel]

I don't think that would address the issue unfortunately.

They're all running off the same table and the data is stored exclusively in the table.

Once the data is overwritten - likely from load order or something similar between farming mods - it's gone.

Unless each individual farming mod made global stuff for me to use, which would be agonizing to set up with everyone, it isn't possible.

[sour island]

If you can get your mod to load first using !

you could use requires to handhold the load order

[quasi kernel]

Abusing requires, I like it!

[sour island]

Unless I'm not caffeinated enough

[quasi kernel]

It sounds like it would work in theory

Still easier than manual data entry

That solves the mod origin issue too

[sour island]

this was for the patch project right?

[quasi kernel]

Mhm!

[sour island]

snake, soul, mo farm?

[quasi kernel]

More than that now-

4K+ lines of manual data entry. Not doing more of it.

Snake, Soul, Mo Farm, GMH, More common seed types, That's it, I'm weaving, Xnertot, Farming Coffee, etc

[sour island]

You could create a function to compare the list before and after requires -- if your intention is to modify "Corn" to "CornSoul" or something

Unless you want to pick and choose which plants get used

[quasi kernel]

^

Built-in mod priority.

[sour island]

for specific plants?

[quasi kernel]

If the same plant falls under different farm names, I set them to the same so they can "find each other" in code and get each other's seed data.

Otherwise, I generally leave it alone.

I.E, "Corn" and "Corn2"

[sour island]

to clarify, lets say you prefer soul's corn - you want that to be 'the' corn but if you prefer snake's peas then etc

[quasi kernel]

Correct.

Though it goes in order of mods rather than per-crop

[sour island]

ah

[quasi kernel]

There's a sandbox var for determining what order is used.

[sour island]

oh

[quasi kernel]

Say you do F:M

Filcher crops would take priority in case of a duplicate.

[sour island]

Can you control loadorder with sandbox options?

or do you just rerun the lua

[quasi kernel]

All of the other mods have technically already loaded, I just use the data at that point.

Since it's all manually inputted, I just go "ok get sf data"

"no sf data? mo crops data"

And so on.

It's more efficient than that, but that's just a rundown.

What I'm wanting to do at the end of the day is get that valuable farming_vegetableconf.props data in between farming mods automatically.

Your require method could work, it's just a matter of if require still still work if a file isn't present or not.

Though I don't suppose that really matters, I can still check if the mods are enabled anyways.

It'd probably be safer to use your method instead of full automation anyhow since it prevents unsupported mods from screwing crap up.

[cunning kestrel]

hmm good point...

[quasi kernel]

I can still automate dumping the data, just not automate the in-between mod collection.

[cunning kestrel]

progress so far.
any Input feedback ?

[quasi kernel]

No idea what an .avi is so I dunno what to recommend lol

[sour island]

the 3d sprite render will make that look that much better

[cunning kestrel]

i dont quite follow, is this something i can do, or thats in the PZ pipeline ?

[sour island]

pz pipeline

[quasi kernel]

Finn, I'm gonna try your require method later today, THANK YOU.

[sour island]

if I understand correctly it will make the model's leg render behind the bench where appropriate

[quasi kernel]

This is gonna save me SO MUCH TIME.

[sour island]

ever since the devs made that example video the sprite issues are more glaring

[quasi kernel]

Might still need specific install instructions but whatever, you win some you lose some.

Requires would have to go in a specific order so meh

It's a solution - an easy to digest one at that - so I'm not too worried.

[cunning kestrel]

good luck let us know

[cunning kestrel]

ah gotcha, but yeah that my mod progess... both linked into the fitness system (including fatigue) and optional exp modifier, looking at level / regularity, etc

[cunning kestrel]

yeah its messed up on the wrong angle...

i kinda showed the best outcome ....

nothing to be done im afraid. Right ?

[sour island]

well the head should be lower

player X/Y can be floating - you may need to apply a different value depending on direction

in order to use the same animation - if the tile isn't centered in a way that works inline with the model

[cunning kestrel]

Can I call different animation depending on the direction though ?

Oh nvm change player location on different direction,i see hmm...

[gusty wharf]

Is there a way to change forage bonuses while editing or making a new occupation?

[cursive coral]

#mod_support

[quasi kernel]

Anyone know if getActivatedMods() returns in mod load order?

[cursive coral]

ı need help guys

[gusty wharf]

this channel is for help in making mods, mod support is about mod user support, not dev support.

[cursive coral]

ha okey

[gusty wharf]

so you should ask questions here if you're making a mod

[cursive coral]

I made a texture mod, but I have a problem with the .pack file and I can't run the mod.
I had problems with my normal tests. But when I shared it to steam, the mod did not work.

[tawdry solar]

hm its not spawning ingame

i mean

not like being ingame

[tepid dawn]

Hello, what may be the reason for two mods to be uncompatible

[thick karma]

😭

[tepid dawn]

I made two clothing mods, both of them work when they're activated on their own

but I can only see the items of one of them if I activate both at the same time

[thick karma]

I don't do clothing mods, but intuitively it sounds like you're loading them too late in the launch sequence, or you're accidentally adding them to vanilla base set of clothes and updating it with the additions in both mods, thus not incorporating the changes from the other.

I would look at when other clothing mods that do play nicely together add their clothes

By subbing and exploring their code

@tepid dawn

[tepid dawn]

Ohhh, what you say makes sense

I'll try that

I didn't quite understand the "loading too late" part but I guess I understand additions to the base game

[frank lintel]

look thru log file and see what is getting overridden by both mods?

[thick karma]

E.g., when I insert new options via the Mod Options mod and submit them, it will trigger a particular instancing event... if I do that OnGameStart instead of during file loading, that event causes all other mods that would normally have loaded their Mod Options after mine to be unloaded essentially.

If something you're doing reinitializes the clothing tables indirectly, then a late addition could cause overwrites of other additions.

[tepid dawn]

Does it have something with modules in item scripts txt?

because I'm almost a complete beginner, I used "module Base {" when declaring items

but I see that other mods use "module CustomName { imports{Base}" kind of approach

[thick karma]

Idk for sure because I do not add clothing, but when I added my book items, I did it like this:

module Meditation
{

    imports
    {
        Base
    }

    item Neiye
    {
        DisplayCategory     =   Meditation,
        NumberOfPages        =    420,
        Weight                =   0.5,
        Type                =   Literature,
        DisplayName            =    Neiye,
        Tooltip             =   Tooltip_YogaLessons,
        DisappearOnUse      =   FALSE,
        Icon                =    MeditationBook,
        StaticModel         =   MeditationBookOpen,
        WorldStaticModel    =   MeditationBookClosed,
    }

    item MasteringYoga
    {
        DisplayCategory     =   Meditation,
        NumberOfPages        =    420,
        Weight                =   0.5,
        Type                =   Literature,
        DisplayName            =    Mastering Yoga,
        Tooltip             =   Tooltip_YogaLessons,
        DisappearOnUse      =   FALSE,
        Icon                =    MeditationBook,
        StaticModel         =   MeditationBookOpen,
        WorldStaticModel    =   MeditationBookClosed,
    }

    item MandukyaUpanishad
    {
        DisplayCategory     =   Meditation,
        NumberOfPages        =    420,
        Weight                =   0.5,
        Type                =   Literature,
        DisplayName            =    Mandukya Upanishad,
        Tooltip             =   Tooltip_YogaLessons,
        DisappearOnUse      =   FALSE,
        Icon                =    MeditationBook,
        StaticModel         =   MeditationBookOpen,
        WorldStaticModel    =   MeditationBookClosed,
    }

    item ZenMotorcycleMaintenance
    {
        DisplayCategory     =   Meditation,
        NumberOfPages        =    420,
        Weight                =   0.5,
        Type                =   Literature,
        DisplayName            =    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,
        Tooltip             =   Tooltip_YogaLessons,
        DisappearOnUse      =   FALSE,
        Icon                =    MeditationBook,
        StaticModel         =   MeditationBookOpen,
        WorldStaticModel    =   MeditationBookClosed,
    }

    model MeditationBookOpen
    {
        mesh = Book,
        texture = WorldItems/MeditationBook,
    }

    model MeditationBookClosed
    {
        mesh = WorldItems/BookClosed,
        texture = WorldItems/MeditationBook,
        scale = 0.38,
    }

}

[tepid dawn]

That's exactly like how other people did it.

Thanks for sharing, I'll edit my txt and see if it works

[thick karma]

Yeah I would recommend using your own Module name and importing Base if you didn't. That worked for me

And the name of the file may need -items.txt, idk for sure (please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who knows).

[tepid dawn]

Oh that last part made me find something important

both of my mod scripts used the same name before "_items.txt"

maybe thats why one is overriding the other one

Yeah, i dont know which one fixed it but I can see both of them. Thank you @thick karma

[thick karma]

Yes

[thick karma]

This is what did it

You actually must use different names

If the same filename gets loaded in the same directory it will overwrite prior ones.

e.g., if one of your mods has mods/MyMod/media/lua/client/foo.bar and the other has mods/MyOtherMod/media/lua/client/foo.bar, from the game's PoV, those are both just media/lua/client/foo.bar

And they overwrite each other.

You can avoid this with internal folder naming

media/lua/client/MyMod/foo.bar and media/lua/client/MyOtherMod/foo.bar

Those won't conflict

Or you can just use different filenames

[frank lintel]

^ why I mentioned looking thru the log file in debug it says what and when it does and if ya see two mods same name same file....

[tepid dawn]

thank you also, but i thought asking opinions here would be easier lol

[hollow current]

local onlineUsers = getOnlinePlayers()

for i=0, onlineUsers:size()-1 do
  local playerNum = onlineUsers:get(i)
  local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(playerNum)
  print(playerObj)
end

Trying to retrieve the playerObj for all connected players on a server. Using this simple code but returns an error. Not sure what I am doing wrong

[thick karma]

Anyone wanna give me some feedback on this instructional example for an upcoming framework I plan to release alongside Aza's upcoming NPC mod?

-- (LINE 1) A very simple skeleton without connections between parts. 
local Example = {}

-- Container for all Pattern Explanation dialogues.
Example.PatternExplanation = {}

-- Stand-Alone Conversation Example Skeleton; No Linking of Dialogues.
Example.PatternExplanation.standAlone = {
    id = "Name of this Encounter", -- Spaces are entirely optional in your ids; they're just strings.
    survivor = "Survivor Name",
    -- The response - options - outcome pattern below is recursive. This means that
    -- if you want to add a branch at a deeper level of your dialogue, you can simply copy
    -- everything from line 15 to line 39 below (inclusive), and simply paste it inside
    -- any outcome table in a dialogue tree (e.g., on line 26 or line 37 below)
    response = "", -- (LINE 15) Note: "response" will refer to the NPC speaking; "option" is shorthand for what the player may say.
    [1] = {
        option = "",
        intention = "Friendly", -- You may associate this response with any intent string.
        rapport = 10, -- Options can cause player to build rapport with the NPC.
        impacts = { pain = -1, anger = 1}, -- Options can affect player's feelings.  Values are normalized from -1 to 1.
        command = exampleCommand, 
        -- exampleCommand above doesn't  actually exist, but you could create a 
        -- function with this or any other name, and write that name here.
        arguments = {}, -- This option will call exampleCommand(player, survivorName, arguments)
        outcome = {
            -- response, etc. (LINE 26) (This is where recursion into deeper levels can begin.)
        }
    },
    [1] = {
        option = "",
        intention = "Friendly",
        rapport = 10,
        impacts = { pain = -1, anger = 1},
        command = exampleCommand,
        arguments = {},
        outcome = {
            -- response, etc. (LINE 37)
        }
    }--, (LINE 15) Note: You would need the commented-out comma after "--" if you wanted to add more player reply options.

    -- . . . et cetera. I would not recommend more than 5 options per branch. 
    -- A 5-wide branch 5-levels deep will require 5^5 = 3125 unique endpoints. That is a lot of writing.
    -- It will be much easier write many levels of dialogue if there are fewer branches per level.
    -- If your options are verbose (2-3 lines on 4x font), only 5-6 will on the screen.
    -- If your options are concise (1 line on 4x font), you can get away with maybe 10 options on screen.

(Will likely need to be viewed in actual editor to look right)

[frank lintel]

formatted fine this side

[thick karma]

Fair enough, I just figured some of the long lines might look awkward in Disc

[frank lintel]

on a phone maybe but /code does a good job at wrapping just be long. but on a halfscreen on this rig looks good.

[thick karma]

Cool nice

Well... do you think you could follow this structure to build your own basic custom NPC dialogue? Any explanations too confusing?

(I have a framework for running branching dialogues on this structure built.)

[frank lintel]

personally yes, but as a whole no issue it explains it well just for me 'skeleton' throws me off

[thick karma]

I just used "skeleton" because it is not fully filled out

But maybe another word would be more well-known for that.

Idk

template I guess

[frank lintel]

call exactly what a {} is?

[fleet yarrow]

Afternoon folks. I've created a new object script for a new tile, but I can't see it in the Necroforge list. Any quick troubleshooting starter points?

[thick karma]

{} is a Lua table. @frank lintel

[frank lintel]

just call it that then to avoid confusion.

[hollow current]

nvm silly mistake figured it out

[frank lintel]

I knew what it was and what ya were doing but being new to lua and modding for PZ just threw me off a bit

[thick karma]

-- (LINE 1) A Lua table used as a module (a container) for the other elements in this example.
local Example = {}

-- Lua table used as a container for all Pattern Explanation dialogues.
Example.PatternExplanation = {}

-- Stand-Alone Conversation Example Template; No Linking of Dialogues. Also a Lua table.
Example.PatternExplanation.standAlone = {

? @frank lintel

Clearer?

-- Stand-Alone Conversation Example Template; No Linking of Dialogues. Also a Lua table. (Code below makes extensive use of nested tables).

[thick karma]

appreciate the feedback

I figure this framework will likely be used by people who are NOT Lua experts

So, I need that feedback

Ideally I want anyone who has any clue about modding to find it pretty easy to fill it out

Without eliminating features

[frank lintel]

never touched it before honestly dont even know why they using it still given they already coding in java but... I offered the feedback cuz a newbie pov it seemed was what ya were looking for

[thick karma]

You mean why would someone write an NPC dialogue framework when NPCs are coming?

[frank lintel]

no why they using lua...

[thick karma]

Oh.... lmao

(Almost) all mods in PZ are written in Lua

[frank lintel]

exactly why? java the native game lang why the change but thats not really a topic for debate here nor trying to.

[thick karma]

I am not sure; I suspect perhaps it seemed easier to maintain the security of core code that contains sensitive user data... or maybe they just had a lot of Lua experience and decided half the game would be more easily written in Lua than Java.

I honestly do not have an answer for you at all, though I would be curious to know the real one.

[frank lintel]

shrugs not knowing either. "Im migrating from doing modding in MC and craftbukkit/bukkit/spigot so unlearning java for lua is not gonna be fun."

[thick karma]

Fair. For what it's worth, if you keep an open mind, I think you'll find that some of its unique features are very useful

Mixed-data tables are very easy to whip up in Lua compared to Java.

And OOP can be simulated.

Such that ultimately using the instances of classes will look very similar to how it looks in Java.

[frank lintel]

oh just ppl trying to explain how they are even different types of programming languages makes my brain

[thick karma]

Pro-tip, (index + 1) % numIndexes becomes (index % numIndexes) + 1 in Lua tables that use (1, ... size) for indexes.

[frank lintel]

Im jusst old so ingrained burned in syntax is just hard AF to undo.

[thick karma]

Haha for sure.

[frank lintel]

I started down my coding road with C in '86

[fast galleon]

Are java mods illegal, what's stopping you personally?

[frank lintel]

how to load it?

[carmine quartz]

Hi, i have a quick and probably dumb question:
Is there an easy way to get a player object from a username? I had an idea to grab all online players and just search each one until i found the one with a matching username, but I wanted to check that it was necessary before i do it.

[thick karma]

Olipro wrote a program for that @frank lintel

But you will need to get your end users to install it

https://github.com/Olipro/PZHook

[frank lintel]

thats the limiter right there

[thick karma]

Exactly

Hence many of us don't use it

Despite it being very cool

I think Blair may be about to enlighten us @frank lintel

He is a pro at TIS

[willow estuary]

Also, if you are using modded Java for a game, any problems with your server or game are absolutely out of The Indie Stone's hands; please don't come to us for tech support or help if you are using a modded Java as that is far beyond any point where we could help someone.

Voids all warranties etc.

[frank lintel]

oh no that wasnt the topic

[thick karma]

Totally fair.

[willow estuary]

It is for me 😄

[frank lintel]

just didnt know why Lua over using Java since it using it already

[carmine quartz]

Not only have I answered my own question, i also found a function that I WROTE that does this exact thing. This is why you dont code for 12 hours straight

[frank lintel]

if I cant do it natively then its not getting done (for me)

[thick karma]

Is there an official answer for players to know on this one, Sir Blair?

[pulsar heath]

youre not alone

[willow estuary]

I have no idea. It's just the way it is.
Also I just want to stay completely out of, and completely uninvolved with, java modding and any associated headaches.

[pulsar heath]

i had some issues "adapting" to lua

and what i couldnt solve with lua

i solved it with c# by making an app to interact with my mod

so the mod is only a listener, and the app does the hard work

[thick karma]

Haha nice.

[frank lintel]

I only mentioned this because a mod Im trying to debug some reason has a java attack.class file in it which I was like o.O

[thick karma]

So that's how you did Twitch Integration?

[pulsar heath]

the last version yup

the 1st version was all in lua

[thick karma]

Nice, I had wondered if you had solved that in Lua or what

I don't use Twitch lol

[pulsar heath]

the lua only decodes a json string that the app sends to the mod

[thick karma]

Veeeeeeeery rarely to get a free thng maybe

[pulsar heath]

and based on that executes some simple functions

all the heavy logic is done by the app

[thick karma]

Nice!

[pulsar heath]

now im making a neutral version of the app

[thick karma]

?

[pulsar heath]

so that if anyone wants to use it with their mods just need to do a few clicks

in the app, setup the json that it sends and parse the json on the mod side

[thick karma]

hmm I think I need to see your app to really follow

Not clear on how clicking mods is relevant to twitch integration...

[pulsar heath]

clicking mods?

what i mean is this: you have a mod you want to integrate with anything

[thick karma]

"if they want to use it with their mods, just need to do a few clicks." Wdym use it with their mods?

[pulsar heath]

so the app has a menu that allows you to config what is sent to the mod

the actual mod only parses the results and executes the code needed for the result received

[thick karma]

Ohhh... So it's basically a framework for handling external signals within a mod

[pulsar heath]

yup

its a "wrapper"

[thick karma]

That would be great for everyone

[pulsar heath]

works with twitch api, youtube api, discord api and steam api

[thick karma]

I wouldn't necessarily have plans for, but no doubt a ton of people would

[scenic cradle]

Hey @fast galleon - thanks for the advice yesterday - I got the add/remove both working afterwards.

[pulsar heath]

only need to finish the gui... eventualy

done the guy to work with my mod, but need to make the "neutral"

[frank lintel]

there any good refs for gui stuff that one thing def wanna look at.

[pulsar heath]

so that it can be customized by the mod dev for their needs

there is @frank lintel

[thick karma]

Mang I've been watching Aza whip up a fresh GUI in Bzl and they're not my pics to show you but I gotta say, it's impressive how fast you can build out a GUI in that app.

[pulsar heath]

have a look in the simple ui api mod in the workshop

[thick karma]

If you hate doing it manually.

[pulsar heath]

im using winforms for most of it and user controls

[thick karma]

How complex will your GUI be?

[pulsar heath]

the only thing thats dynamic is the user controls

[frank lintel]

well it gotta handle ultrawide and doublewide displays ^_^

[thick karma]

That's trivial... but what it the UI gonna do?

[frank lintel]

which I clearly not seeing done well so far by modders

[thick karma]

It affects which example I will send you.

I have example that do this well

But I don't the level of complexity you require

[fast galleon]

I've seen a java mod that says to drag and drop files, does that work with all classes or only vanilla overwrites?

[pulsar heath]

im done with the games UI... i almost went mad just making a simple thing like me stats mod

[thick karma]

Wookiee Gamepad Support features fairly complex examples that do "too much" as the kids like to say @frank lintel

[fleet yarrow]

Trying to get a custom tile ingame, getting the Warning: Moveable not valid error. Any ideas?

[frank lintel]

honestly Im first going after vanilla ones

[thick karma]

I added gamepad support to Trading UI and fixed UI scaling issues while I was there, e.g.

You can read that to see how.

[pulsar heath]

and im the crazy one for making an app

😄

[thick karma]

@frank lintel

[frank lintel]

at this point how I see it I gotta learn how to do it manually...

[pulsar heath]

you finished the gamepad support mod @thick karma ?

[thick karma]

Oh it'll never be finished but I have added PlayStation button support, Switch button support, ISTradingUI support, ISSafehouseUI support, ISFactionUI support, Aquatsar shortcut improvements, gamepad inventory and loot repositioning / saving, gamepad shortcuts for sorting inventory and loot, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. @pulsar heath

[pulsar heath]

damn... thats a lot of work

[thick karma]

I should really post a simple example of a gamepad supported UI framework...

I may do that in the next few days

Just a matter of deleting a bunch of stuff from existing code without breaking anything

[thick karma]

lol ❤️ for noticing

Oh, scrolling shortcuts... we can hold triggers down while pressing D-Pad to scroll faster in various contexts @pulsar heath

kind of a big deal with all the long lists in this game

[pulsar heath]

i know its a lot of work... i almost went mad sorting through the UI handling in the game...

[thick karma]

Doesn't work everywhere but it's nice where it does (e.g., inventory and loot)

[pulsar heath]

if a simple mod as mine was a lot of work... i can only imagine the amount with something like that

[thick karma]

I went pretty hard on it lmao

[red tiger]

Good morning.

[pulsar heath]

good afternoon kind sir

[gusty wharf]

Are occupations' (mainly foraging) bonuses possible to edit or create with lua?

[pulsar heath]

yes they are

you can either alter the bonuses directly

or using perks

etc

and you can do that in lua

or just modify the value itself directly

[fleet yarrow]

Blimey, custom tile creation isn't particularly straight forward is it?

[fast galleon]

hey, maybe you know this.

I've seen a java mod that says to drag and drop files, does that work with all classes or only vanilla overwrites?

[thorny garnet]

Does item:DoParam("Param = Value") also work for template parts? I'm trying to write a mod that will pull vehicle storage/trunk names from a file and set their "ConditionAffectsCapacity" property to "False" (edit: typo)

[fast galleon]

#mapping is usually where people discuss new tiles, what issue do you have?

[red tiger]

Working on improving my parser this morning for ZedScript.

[fast galleon]

to add "moveable" to player inventory
#mod_development message

    item Mov_OfficeChair
    {
        DisplayCategory = Furniture,
        Type            = Moveable,
        Icon            = default,
        Weight              = 0.5,
        DisplayName        = Black Office Chair,
        WorldObjectSprite    = furniture_seating_indoor_01_50,
    }

^for debug Item List

[hollow current]

The following code is being run serverside:

for i=0, onlineUsers:size()-1 do
  local player = onlineUsers:get(i)
  print(player)
end```

The following code is being run clientside:
```lua
RestartAlert.checkModData = function(this)
    print(this)
end
Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(RestartAlert.checkModData)```
Why is the player object from the first function and the second function different?

even though its the same player (since the server has only one player online)

[red tiger]

I really liked that my new parser was less than 90 lines of code but now I'll have to follow the same rules that PZ has for parsing ZedScript.

[hollow current]

I think its because the server's representation of a player object is different from the client's representation of the same player. Is there a way to get the same object both client wise and server wise?

[fast galleon]

when you print userdata or table it usually prints the "memory location" as somebody (anonymous) called it

[fast galleon]

it is the same player, just different strings representations

[hollow current]

but is there a way to get the same representation on both functions?

[fast galleon]

for print purposes?

[hollow current]

I am setting moddata for the player from serverside, and I want to retrieve it from client side

but it's not working since both representations are different so its like I am setting on one player from the serverside and then attempting to retrieve it on another player clientside, while its technically the same player

[fast galleon]

not sure that works from server since it's handled client side, that would be the problem, not the string you print in console

[hollow current]

well i was able to set moddata for the player from server side and then retrieve it from the same function serverside, but that's not what I am after sooo ye

[fast galleon]

alternative way, send command. Maybe somebody else has better advice

[hollow current]

hmm will look into commands i guess

for reference.
Serverside code which is being executed using EveryTenMinutes event:

function RestartAlert.CheckServerRestartTime()
--some lengty stuff
if content then
        local onlineUsers = getOnlinePlayers()
        for i=0, onlineUsers:size()-1 do
            local player = onlineUsers:get(i)
            player:getModData().restartAlert_alert = content
            print("MODDATA HAS BEEN SET FOR: " .. tostring(player))
        end
    end
end```

Clientside Code which is being executed using OnPlayerUpdate event:
```lua
RestartAlert.checkModData = function(this)
  --irrelevant stuff
    if elapsed >= 10000 then
        print(this:getModData().restartAlert_alert)
        print("MODDATA RETRIEVED FOR " .. this)
    end
end```

[vivid linden]

how to add the ability for a message to be sent to /all after an action has been performed?

I tried this but it gave an error when it tried running in game SendMessageToAllPlayers(character:getDisplayName() .. " test message")

[cunning kestrel]

any smart person know how to fix this ?

[fast galleon]

lol, when you push yourself into the bench exercise

[cunning canyon]

is the player standing where the feet are planted in that animation?

you'll need to make them stand on the eastern tile of that bench and then offset them in the animation i imagine

otherwise the clipping is unavoidable (pending juicy changes mentioned in the previous blog post)

[cunning kestrel]

was thinking about this... kinda messy work-around though ..

[cunning canyon]

🤷‍♂️

maybe there's a way to set the front tile to be on the same layer as the carpet? idk, it would be super messy as well

you'd need custom tile defs

[frank elbow]

processGeneralMessage(str)

[hollow current]

Would this be the correct way to implement a client command?

local Commands = {}

function Commands.showRestartUI(content)
    local myUI = MyUI:new(content)
    myUI:initialise()
    myUI:addToUIManager()
end

local function OnClientCommand(module, command, player, args)
    if module == 'RestartAlert' then
        Commands[command](args[1])
    end
end

Events.OnClientCommand.Add(OnClientCommand)```

```lua
if content then
  local onlineUsers = getOnlinePlayers()
  for i=0, onlineUsers:size()-1 do
    local player = onlineUsers:get(i)
    sendClientCommand(player, 'RestartAlert', 'showRestartUI', {content})
  end
end```

I'm not sure if the usage of sendClientCommand in this context is correct

[kindred dawn]

Hmmm

How do I add the recipe to insert a battery into something?

[fast galleon]

if you use sendServerCommand from server with no player object, it should send it to everybody

[kindred dawn]

Since trying to add just “battery” uses only 1 unit of its 100000 units

Just set it to 100000?

[hollow current]

I believe I need to consequently change the first part of the code where I define the client command?

[kindred dawn]

That didn’t work…

[vivid linden]

so if i put that into a line as processGeneralMessage("test message")
It will say "test message" to the /all channel from that player?

[frank elbow]

Yes, it should

[scenic cradle]

suggestions on how I can do this: getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z):RemoveTileObject(getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z):getObjects():get(1)) but target the tile object by name?

as opposed to grabbing the object by reference

[kindred dawn]

Anyone know how to use up the battery when making a recipe?

[kindred dawn]

Ah, you do destroy battery

[fast galleon]

go through all objects checking sprite name for match, you can use getTextureName function to get sprite name

[scenic cradle]

thanks again @fast galleon !

[fast galleon]

be careful with nils here getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)

[scenic cradle]

I'm passing hard references so nils shouldn't be an issue

[fast galleon]

if you're doing this client side then you can use ISMoveableSpriteProps:findOnSquare( _square, _spriteName )

[kindred dawn]

So I made a thrown home alarm with timer, but every time it hits something, it disappears and doesn’t make any noise

It’s made the same way as the NoiseTrapTriggered Noise Generator in newitems

[fleet yarrow]

Ahh thanks, that'd be why. I'm just trying to acquaint myself with getting a new custom furniture tile in, followed some tutorials on YouTube and reverse engineered a couple of mods, but don't seem to be having much joy. I'll take this over to there though, thanks for getting back to me 🙂

[vivid linden]

Update... It works now. If you soil your pants in the game... A message is sent to the discord server letting everyone know you just poo'd your pants

Shame

[fervent raven]

how do i find the modding tools

[fast galleon]

can you try to add the tile to your inventory with this? In case that's the problem...
getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem('Moveables.Moveable'):ReadFromWorldSprite('furniture_seating_indoor_03_17'), change the sprite name.

[fleet yarrow]

Thanks, sprite name - is that the name of the sprite within the pack?

[fast galleon]

replying here in case they are allergic to code there

[fleet yarrow]

(the one I can get from the packviewer)

[fast galleon]

yeah

[fleet yarrow]

Ok, so it adds 'Moveable' to my inventory, but it doesn't actually show or place anything when I try to place it in world

Just highlights the target floor tile as usual

[fast galleon]

does getSprite("insert sprite name here") from console work? print(getSprite("furniture_seating_indoor_03_17"))

are there any errors?

[fleet yarrow]

No errors, there's a LOG general and a zombie.iso.sprite text output

[red tiger]

Oooookaaayyy.. 6 hours later.

My rewrite for a raw string parser for ZedScript files is somewhat working now.

It tokenizes assignment lines as single tokens and takes into account commas possibly stacking for empty statements that are ignored.

Tokens are parsed by scope. E.G: module, sound, recipe, etc.

So this one should work.

I could parse out property->value statements as separate tokens however I think my parser code further in will be cleaner doing this.

@quasi geode

https://github.com/asledgehammer/ZedScriptParser/blob/main/src/lexer.ts

[strong dragon]

So, I made a version of Arsenal26 so I could lower spawn values, I updated the mod, now my game is saying workshop item version is different or something like that when I host

Could someone assist me with that?

[red tiger]

AFK for a bit.

<3

Glad I found a cleaner method to implement lexing.

[mellow lichen]

Okay so i was toying with this idea just before my computer exploded (trying to find replacement motherboard level exploded)-
How hard would it be to mod the pz medical system to act like the med system from the Rim?
Things like tend quality and medical skill increasing bonuses?
Cause i got some ideas about it just wondering how feasible it is

[modern hamlet]

Does the self:forceComplete() command for TımedActions prevent the action from being cancelled? I couldn't find explanation for this command.

[dark wedge]

forceComplete will complete the TimedAction, regardless of how much time it has left. Its perform function will be called.

[tame mulch]

It's not easy)

[modern hamlet]

oh i see thank you

[sour island]

To add onto what Aiteron said - you'd be better off starting from the ground level and making your own systems

The vanilla injuries are tied to fields 1:1 with timers

[umbral surge]

good evening, i've never modded games, but i have the basics of OOP down, and basic programming knowledge in general. Where should i start, if i want to learn how to make some simple mods?

[glass basalt]

Start by thinking of an idea you want to implement (i.e. "I want the game to have ___") and then start looking at other mods that do similar things to learn how they function

There is https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1070852229654917180 and https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1070858800501891172 as modding resources

[umbral surge]

call me insane but i'd like to try to make some basic NPCs

[umbral surge]

i'll look into it

[glass basalt]

There is "Superb Survivors" on the Workshop, they're currently looking for help

[umbral surge]

yeah i've tried it

there are basically no working NPC mods left

couldn't find a way to fix it either

[glass basalt]

the devs can't even make working NPCs, that's why they're leaving it off until Build 48 or something hahaha

[umbral surge]

this is a dumb question but what's so hard about it? Both project Humanoid and Superb worked decently until the latest builds, except for the stutters

[glass basalt]

It's reimplementing everything that a player character can do, but with an artificial intelligence. It is simply horrendous tedium, on top of the bugfixing

[umbral surge]

i'll probably look into Superb, basically everything works except for melees

[glass basalt]

You could start with making scripted NPCs, that's what previous versions of PZ had

as in ones that do a particular thing

[umbral surge]

yeah if i'm going to make something from scratch i obviously can't start big

[bronze yoke]

and don't forget your artificial intelligence is running in *lua*

[umbral surge]

there's probably going to be an horrendous amounth of math involved in the Ai

[glass basalt]

lua banter be like:
🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
WHY is --- LIEK ----???

[umbral surge]

wich is what worries me

[bronze yoke]

i honestly think lua is really really good but its performance limitations don't lend well to ai

[glass basalt]

the amount of math you have to do can be mitigated if you leave everything else constant, i.e. an NPC doesn't have to worry about food, looking for other NPCs or players, because you made it to just spawn on the map, walk around and shoot zombies, and either die or disappear after a certain amount of time

once you start actually making the NPC a part of the world, is when every little detail leaves blocks of code

time to make a vehicle spawn mod for the first time, to better understand why my other mod doesn't work as its supposed to 🙂

[scenic cradle]

I wish it was client side - unfortunately I'm doing this server side to simulate our traders moving from place to place during the server's uptime cycle

[shadow flower]

Is there a way to detect if a mod is enabled to not add an item to the distribution code?

This is what I tried and it did not like that to say the least

if (!isModActive(getID():contains("FarmingTime"))) then
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.SeedBag.items, "MCM.CornBagSeed");
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.SeedBag.items, 20);
end

[frank lintel]

I was testing superb today it was actually working

still trying to track down exactly what is causing the 'Exception thrown java.lang.IllegalStateException at UIManager.update line:685' error

[shadow flower]

I think my problem is lua not liking the not modifier

[bronze yoke]

use not condition instead of !condition

[frank lintel]

my bad it does but I think it has to be done after all the logic is done. ie !(A and B) atleast the examples Im seeing give it this way

[bronze yoke]

i don't think there is a ! operator at all

[frank lintel]

this page Im reading shows one for logical operators but precedence order on a not is R2L not L2R according to this also.

[shadow flower]

if (isModActive(getId():contains("FarmingTime"))) then

else
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.GardenStoreMisc.items, "MCM.CornBagSeed");
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.GardenStoreMisc.items, 20);
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.GardenStoreMisc.items, "MCM.LettuceBagSeed");
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.GardenStoreMisc.items, 20);
end

This responds with

does getId not have a contains

[bronze yoke]

i think you want if not getActivatedMods():contains("FarmingTime") then

[frank lintel]

is getId() a string outpout ... beat me to it was just gonna say use 'contains'

[shadow flower]

I'll give that a try

[frank lintel]

and albion you might be right I gotta look at more sites cuz the popout examples all use not but the one example on the main page uses ! what the heck?

[shadow flower]

excellent thanks guys

[frank lintel]

contains did the trick?

[shadow flower]

Switching it back the way I had it, but adding the else statement worked

I tried using the every other language way of checking for false before

which got lua confused

now with the else it works exactly as i wanted

[frank lintel]

lua has some unique syntax etc Im on the official lua.org site now looking to see if ! even is a legit operator.

and nope they dont according to Lua 5.0 manual its typed out and/or/not so ? : ! functions dont exist

also 0 = true ^_^

[bronze yoke]

somewhat confusingly, no

0 evaluates to true, but 0 == true evaluates to false

[frank lintel]

if ya old school where 0 and 1 had logical value yeah

do an if (0)

[bronze yoke]

yeah, if 0 evaluates to true, but if 0 == true evaluates to false

they're both true but they're not equal

[frank lintel]

^

integer vs logical

I meant equal to not literal ==

[bronze yoke]

like it already has something written in it when it spawns? that can't be done with item scripts alone, needs lua

[scenic cradle]

@drifting ore if you look at an existing item in the zomboid files you'll see how it hooks a function into play from a lua file - you can just look at that function then and attempt to replicate it for your own item to make changes - I wouldn't be able to tell you the files off hand without looking - I learned about this stuff by trying to update Hydrocraft. As for the picture question - I know with the UI elements you can make custom frames/windows - I've yet to get my head around how though

If you look at mods like Snake's Gourmet revolution I know it uses instances of custom images in UI frames that you may be able to look at as reference.

This is now absolutely hilarious! I have it capable of hooking into Discord as long as it is connected to the server and announce to everyone.

[glass basalt]

lol nice. I recommend inserting a link to the original mod for referenceability

[glass basalt]

like so:
I modified the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1436878551]original Defecation mod[/url] from nater

[vivid linden]

I added it on the description

Its mostly just a way to have fun with my server as I have the discord connected to game chat. I imagine most people will not be able to fully appreciate that part of it. But they will still enjoy the 3 better sounds and text changes at least.

[glass basalt]

the meme factor is more than enough. A super elaborate mod likely won't get the same amount of views and coverage as a "sex 2.0" funny mod. If you care about that kind of stuff, that is

So I decided to make my own music collection mod for Zomboid that was lore friendly
there's 722 songs ranging from all sorts of genres from 1962 to 1993 for those interested, I haven't properly tested it myself though since I have the files locally personally but let me know if it works if you do end up using it :)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939178280

tracklist info is in the description of the mod

just letting you know though it's 5.0GB's so it's kinda beefy

[ancient grail]

duudeee this is how you spawn a moveable that doesnt have a script item? thnx alot

[glass basalt]

Thats a good code snippet to yoink

I made my own for sprites. I should link it somewhere, since I personally have no use for it

[ancient grail]

super broken

[rancid panther]

is there a function that i can use to block xp gain from a book in certain cases?

or what i would call in regards to book xp boost

[fast galleon]

sure, just skip the add xp multiplier step

[rancid panther]

thanks i'll try this

[scenic cradle]

mmm... what's wrong with my logic here:
function vPlace(square,sprite)
if square:getObjects():get(0) == nil then
print("DEBUG: Why no print?")
end
...

[fast galleon]

I don't know where to begin...

[scenic cradle]

LOL

[fast galleon]

print the if check (square:getObjects():get(0)) and you'll see for start

squares almost never have no objects

an array throws errors when you try to get an out of bounds element (?)

the missing end is probably cropped out

[scenic cradle]

oh it is - I chopped the rest of the code out

as I'm just trying to figure out how to do a check to see if a square is empty or not

[fast galleon]

what do you consider empty, do walls count? what about items e.g nails?

[scenic cradle]

should only be a ground tile, nothing else.

Going to attempt to dump the get(0) to print now though and see if I can figure anything out from there.

[fast galleon]

I guess you could check size then if objs:size == 1 then

[scenic cradle]

I still want to understand how get() will work though; as I intend to iterate thru the square's objects afterwards

thanks for the advise @fast galleon - going to go do some debugging

mrm.. except square:getObjects():get(0) doesn't print to console...

wtf.

[ancient grail]

isEmpty()

Not sure if its for container only

Might as well try it

[fast galleon]

that would be true when no objects are there, no floors either

[scenic cradle]

Okay - let me refocus my efforts here; how can I ENSURE I get a print to console/logs, even if it's a bad value - anyway to address that @fast galleon ?

[ancient grail]

If you get like a swuare above you and unare outside
Then yeah thats empty

Try error()

Hi tags polt almost every other msg 🙂

Nope i was wrong

Only twice

The scren just scolled up cuz phone buh

Bug

[fast galleon]

I used to think all squares have floors, but now I remember that's no true. Not all squares have an square object btw.

[fast galleon]

if you function executes and you have an unconditional print then it will print

no print means the function isn't called

[scenic cradle]

function def gets called - cause if I take my print + the square object reference out, and let the rest of the code run, it has no issues.

[fast galleon]

or you can get an error stack if you try print something that erros

[glass basalt]

If I give any supposed vehicle, item, recipe, or anything in the game a string in the translation files, but those entities don't exist (either missing or not enabled from a certain mod), will the game handle the new strings without issue and simply never use them? I can check really quickly with my own mods, but i wanted to know if anyone has had experience with translation files.

[fast galleon]

when a translation isn't found, they game uses the given string

[glass basalt]

I know, but what about the other way around?

[ancient grail]

If u want you can disect this code i wrote

The function gets the highest z
But i have a version for prints only

Highest z that has floor

[fast galleon]

ah, you can translate as much as you want no errors will happen from extra translations

[ancient grail]

It returns nil if theres no floor

[scenic cradle]

So here's the original code in that function that works:
local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square:getCell(), square, sprite);
square:getObjects():add(isoObject);
square:RecalcProperties();
The code above will add objects to a square without issue every time it runs; when I try and print or error anything I'm working with in regards to square:getObjects():get(0) to debug and check to see if the square is empty BEFORE the adding is done, it fails but I can't get error output...

[glass basalt]

Neat, okay thanks for confirming

[ancient grail]

What are you. Looking for .. floor or obj?

[scenic cradle]

I want to make sure the object I'm about to place (in this case "sprite") isn't already placed on that square.

[ancient grail]

I have that function too but im afk
Check out my bear trap mod

[scenic cradle]

will do.

[ancient grail]

Tho it does check for abunch of stuff too
Not just the tile itself

You can just select which one u want to remove basically its a checker function that checks bunch of stuff

Like if player is blocked by a wall
If theres something there
Is there a floor
Can you see it

Stuff like that

Hope u find what u need frkm that function

[fast galleon]

could this be a cached function issue? are you exiting to main menu?

[ancient grail]

I wrote it when people said you cam stack the traps
And i realized i forgot to do a check

[scenic cradle]

Yes - exiting to main menu after each code change for testing...

[ancient grail]

Dpends on the lua files content you can always try the reload button

To save time . Just need to know what reloads and what doesnt

Like on game start events

[fast galleon]

are you testing in sp?

[scenic cradle]

MP. As this is server side generation

[ancient grail]

What mod are u making

[fast galleon]

ok so that would never appear in your console log

[scenic cradle]

Right - would appear in server debug log right?

[fast galleon]

yeah

[scenic cradle]

Cause nothing shows up there either 😛

[ancient grail]

You must be looking at the wrong directory

[scenic cradle]

Nope - cause other functions I can throw print statements from no issue... can confirm looking at server log output.

[ancient grail]

Try to tail it

Ahhh so it crash before it writes

[earnest lark]

Is there a way to run OS command inside lua files (because os or io tables are not available). For example call curl command when sever starts?

[scenic cradle]

yeah - if I just use the original addition code I posted above, and toss a print in there, print will work no problem and I'll get output in server log

[ancient grail]

Yesh if you are just solving the the tile placement then no need to further focus on the log

[fast galleon]

sorry for all the stupid questions, is your new unconditional print unique - something you can search for?

[ancient grail]

i only know os.time

[scenic cradle]

Yes - i tag all my prints with "DEBUG-X1, DEBUG-X2, etc.

[ancient grail]

Not sure if theres somthing else

[earnest lark]

os.execute would be nice 🙂

[ancient grail]

How exactly do you tag em

[fast galleon]

ah you got that already?

[scenic cradle]

print("DEBUG-X1 :"..addCodeHereIfNeeded)

[ancient grail]

O dont think so. No... I might be wrong tho

[scenic cradle]

yes, if I do this:
function vPlace(square,sprite)
print("DEBUG-X1: Placing sprite");
local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square:getCell(), square, sprite);
square:getObjects():add(isoObject);
square:RecalcProperties();
end
that works

[ancient grail]

Right...

Why not just make a moveable

[scenic cradle]

lol... okay

[ancient grail]

Save yourself the trouble

[scenic cradle]

So I'm trying to take our existing vendor setup which uses tile+UI interactions for a shop, and have those vendors "move" on boot

[ancient grail]

Not possible

[fast galleon]

moveable is an inventory type though

[scenic cradle]

why not? If I can check to see if my tilesprite is present I can just delete it

[ancient grail]

You need a player present for that to work unless u expensively force load a grid

[scenic cradle]

that's already done.

it's how we prepopulate the vendors on boot

[ancient grail]

For reals? Wow ok . .

Im still skeptic

Are they goobal obj?

[scenic cradle]

you want me to just paste my functional code file for you to look at?

cause it works.

Been using it for months.

[ancient grail]

Sure and if it works the. U mumight have solve something alot of modders failed to do

[scenic cradle]

I doubt it seeing as I butchered this code together from other modders code :p

[ancient grail]

On top of my head i know probably 4-5 modders who wanted to spawn obj without a. Player there on that gridcell

Like server spawns it .

[fast galleon]

do you have experience with loading chunk?

I'm rethinking my options for v42

[scenic cradle]

original non-wip code that works right there

[ancient grail]

I saw couple of codes i have really tried
Cuz i dont want to tbh

Yeh he used loadgridsquare that will work

Expensive but yeah ..

I failed to mention without using loadgridsquare sorry

[scenic cradle]

The server that we host our game on can handle it so I don't really care about the resource clog

[ancient grail]

Cuz some servers cant handle it even if u optimize the code

Like baricaded world
A very cool mod but the method

Nice

[scenic cradle]

barricaded world - and trash + corpses - were two of my inspirations for this.

[ancient grail]

Since thats the sotuation . Imean if yourenot doing the mod for general public then theres no reason why you shouldnt use that

Good job btw
Looks amazing

[scenic cradle]

right.. so anyway, what I'm trying to achieve is have it run the placement on boot everytime (that I can do easy enough) what I can't do is have it check to see if I've already placed the vendor on that square

if I have, I want to remove it

then I'm going to add a randomizer to only POTENTIALLY spawn said vendor

to emulate them "travelling"

[ancient grail]

Search for the sledge function

[scenic cradle]

oh I can remove objects no problem

once I know they're there

😛

[ancient grail]

Right

I have a suggestion

Instead of teleporting them why not make them chance encounters

Like they just disapear and comes back from time to time

[scenic cradle]

that's the intention

but I'm going to use the same grids each time

so one day a vendor might be at the race way; next he might not be - but eventually he will come back there

[ancient grail]

You can use a radius check near a player if they are xlose to the obj then do the thing

[scenic cradle]

erm... okay that's a bit beyond me at this point LOL

[glass basalt]

I need some advice. I have a mod that has a crap ton of mods that all do the same thing but for different vehicle mods. I just learned that I can combine all of them into one nice AIO mod. But, it isn't finished and I'm still making more translation files to cover more vehicles. Should I merge all of them now, or continue making separate mods until I finish and then merge? For reference, my mod is "KI5's Vehicles - Lore-Friendly Names"

[scenic cradle]

also if it becomes a radius check based on player - would the vendors be instanced to players then vs the server? I don't want vendors vanishing when another player approaches, or only being visible to one player...

[fast galleon]

any of them used in a mod?

[ancient grail]

Nooe just snippets

I think authentic z had it and it says konijima wrote it for peach

Iirc

[red tiger]

Good morning. Fired up to resume work on my parser for ZedScript today.

[fast galleon]

@scenic cradlehttps://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/blob/master/api/README.md#zomboids-lua-component

see how to loop the arraylist

[scenic cradle]

thanks Polt - I'll give that a read later... taking a break for now, frustrations are at a high

[fast galleon]

I wonder how many global objects are equivalent to force loading a chunk, imagine adding object every hour to random position so that something happens when chunk is loaded

[hot patrol]

Anyone know if it is possible for an item to have two world static models and if so how I would go about doing it?

[clear yoke]

hi i was wondering has anyone made a mod yet that makes alternators work in vehicles so the batteries charge when you have the vehicle on?

if not might be a good mod to make although i know nothing of making mods so it may be alot of work im not sure

[modern hamlet]

Isn't this vanilla?

[clear yoke]

not that im aware of no

[frank lintel]

actually should be very easy to do.

[modern hamlet]

ah i confused it with the car battery it's my fault

[frank lintel]

make a new triggerable event to the car base that would add in power to the battery power when its running.

[clear yoke]

i wish i knew how to do that but sadly im too smooth brained to attemt it

[frank lintel]

actually might give it a shot and try and make it myself but I bet someone would beat me to it.

[clear yoke]

dude if you made it ill bet it would be popular

or girl sorry didnt mean to assume

[frank lintel]

all good and my half century old brain dont care I call everyone dude pretty much cuz ppl get bent if I just use babe now it seems.

actually think I pretty much just say 'sup now to avoid all that.. but yeah moment you mentioned it I was like oooh thats a good idea.

[clear yoke]

i have another idea too i always wanted but again too smooth brained to try

[frank lintel]

it shouldnt be hard to do I could just look thru the 'god' mode code of a cheat mod to see how the event handling is done... Im totally new to the modding let alone lua. I did all my modding in MC years ago.

like first person to make a mod lets you pick up arrows you shoot :P

[clear yoke]

it would be pretty cool if that was something that could be done

also i play the deaf trait alot and one thing that bothered me bad was heli events while deaf it bothers me so much you can see things like the moon but there is no visual indicator for tha choppa

[frank lintel]

how do you see the moon?

[clear yoke]

like a little icon or even a light on the side of the screen would be the best

there is an icon on the top right of the screen which shows the moons status

whether its full or crescent you can see that

[frank lintel]

far as I know chopper event totally randoml

[clear yoke]

it can be depending on settings yes

[frank lintel]

yeah but think those are just starting/day start restrictions not an exact like 'start day 30' thing

[clear yoke]

but really in reality even if you are deaf you can still look up and see a chopper in the sky i just thought it would be nice to have a indicator of some kind that a chopper was in the area

[frank lintel]

I dont think its intended to ever really be seen since it just randomly flies about till it f's off its like a news chopper circling the area or something

[clear yoke]

and one last idea i had was the chatbox in multiplayer servers sometimes that box is just in the way and if you close it you miss messages meant for you a light on the side when a new message comes through would be amazing

[clear yoke]

true i just figured that if there was an audio indication of the chopper that it also made sense you can see it too but its a minor request its nothing that i consider a nuisance or anything

so if its not intended i mean i get it

[frank lintel]

a pro in the modding community might know if its possible to track the audio sources for direction since it does I believe get pushed into directional audio

or if there anything that gives it a location so you could do that

[clear yoke]

oh it dont even have to be that great in detail just a light or something to indicate its in the air would be nice

or a negative moodlet even

[frank lintel]

well just adding an icon if the chopper event fired off could be something to look into

[clear yoke]

right i mean it makes sense that a deaf person cant hear a car alarm or a house alarm but being hard of hearing myself i can still even feel the vibrations of a heli going overhead

[frank lintel]

btw never really noticed or looked but do house alarms stop working when power dies?

[clear yoke]

no they are battery powered like a battery backup kicks in

[frank lintel]

like infinite age cuz thats bull and non-existent

[clear yoke]

yeah those batteries never deplete tho it seems

[frank lintel]

another idea... 🤣

[clear yoke]

maybe an idea for another mod

lol

[frank lintel]

hmm wonder if when the power goes off is preset on world gen I know its pretty much random but wonder once you make the world when it does is choose not just an random odds chance if it does that day or not...

this way could have a date when power goes down then add in a decay death for the alarms

[clear yoke]

yeah that sounds viable but i dont know anything about modding so i have no clue how tough it would be to do

i know some people seemingly know exactly when the power will go out so there is a way to do that although again i dont know how they know but i witnessed ppl being spot on when the utilities will shut off

[frank lintel]

when ya make the world you can define how long power/water so there settings for it, believe you can even make it so never happens and never shuts off

[clear yoke]

well in that case then it sounds like it can be worked out

anyways those are my ideas i hope someone finds them useful

[red tiger]

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],

I'm guessing this is a method call for an ingredient in recipe in ZedScript.

[fast galleon]

Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer is a Lua function

[torn igloo]

is there a way to get player's safehouse without having to loop through all the safehouse?

[red tiger]

...

Templates in ZedScript.. Oh man..

(Quietly deletes /media/scripts/vehicles/)

"So how about them vehicle scripts?" .. "What are those?"

[deft falcon]

How do I check if a helicopter is active?

[quasi geode]

tempting idea. about to throw my parser at this folder too. I've been saving it for last

[red tiger]

LexerError: [4581:41] :: Illegal line in 'Base.GlassTumbler': ,

Heheh

    item GlassTumbler
    {
        DisplayCategory     = WaterContainer,,
        Type                = Normal,
        DisplayName            = Tumbler,

It's good to know that my lexer is working as intended.

[quasi geode]

mines turned into a fullblown error checker. logging overwritten entries, duplicate key / value pairs, incorrect data types, and validating any references to other blocks in the scripts... anywhere a string points to another thing in a script or file (ie: checking a item's model entry exists, and that model entry points to a existing .fbx etc)

just need to do vehicles then onto the .xml's

[red tiger]

Hmm ok. Yeah I'll need to work with vehicles. I didn't think I'd need to be doing nested objects like in templates.

My lexer should also be a linter. That's been my approach.

My non-location rendered JSON is nearly instantaneous. My location rendered JSON takes a little bit of time. I decided to write a cursor calculator approach to prevent desyncing from seeking in certain situations.

I could write good, but rigid code that speeds up locations being passed however that's basically debugging stuff.

locations are presented during errors though.

Going to skip rewriting my AST parser and work towards getting the desired JSON result..

I mainly did that for both fun and research / learning how to make an AST.

This language is too rigid / specific for an abstract tree.

[quasi geode]

still havent coded in a json converter, might have to do that after i take my whining dog for her walk

[red tiger]

We can compare our results once we both finish our JSON converters.

I need a ZedScript > JSON and JSON > ZedScript solution before I begin working on my application.

Something I'll need to go through for my exporter that I hope will be fixed in b42 is the properties that are case-sensitive.

Besides mod_data, I'd expect property names to be PascalCased, however to be read without case-sensitivity.

BTW I'm performing checks on if property objects are not in their respective parent object's definition type.

So if clip is inside of model it'll throw.

EOF checks are in-place as well.

The big issue I have when it comes to consistency in ZedScript is that every category for definitions does not contain any whitespace.. except template vehicle.

Going to guess there's a string.toLowerCase().startsWith("template vehicle") check somewhere in the script Java code.. =/

[frank elbow]

It appears to accept one or more whitespace characters between the two words (although none of the vanilla scripts have any more than 1, from my quick glance)

[thick karma]

What's the end goal here?

[hot patrol]

so I have a mod that adds dakimakuras. all of them have an image on both sides. I want players to be able to choose which side is displayed when placed. so far the only idea I have it making a duplicate of the item for the other side but my mod already consists of duplicating the same item muliple times for different texture varients since weapons can't have multiple textures.

so my 30 items would go up to 60 just so you can show off the other side

[thick karma]

Oof.

Yeah.

That's what I was gonna suggest.

Sorry

Lmao

[hot patrol]

lol well thanks anyways

[thick karma]

quietly hides

[hot patrol]

build 41 can't come soon enough. latest blog post says things like weapons will be able to have multiple texture optuions like cars can now

that would slim my mod down a bunch

and if the devs opened the placement option up for modders that would fix my flipping issue. Honestly if it's possibly I will lay down some cash right now to get an advance placement mod made

[thick karma]

@hot patrol Build 42*. Also, shot in the dark . . . have you tried this?

[hot patrol]

I'm thinking shift r to rotate one way alt r for the other axis and then maybe arrow keys to move up and down

[hot patrol]

can't say I have. ouside of copying the base game and other mods I can't code for crap so idk what that even is

i'm working blind and dumb

https://tenor.com/view/mouxy-cotorep-aveugle-debile-esquiver-gif-20546128

[thick karma]

I see. It's in Class InventoryItem here: https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/inventory/InventoryItem.html#setWorldTexture(java.lang.String)

I.e., if you store the inventory item object as, e.g., item, you may be able to call item:setWorldTexture("WorldObjectTextureName") and it might do a thing

I do not know, haven't tried it.

[bronze yoke]

i'd be surprised

[hot patrol]

hmmm

[bronze yoke]

chuck wanted to do something like this but couldn't, i'd be surprised if it was that easy and he missed it

[thick karma]

I don't think it'll change object but maybe the texture of the object

shrug

[hot patrol]

I mean these are the items in question. I think changing texture should be enough if that would work

these are how the items are textured

and yes, that's what you think

all I would need to do it swap the imaged so that if fits the model correctly

i'd try it but I don't know lua

[thick karma]

Haha time to learn. 🙂

[hollow shadow]

i need this spiffete pillow pls

im down bad

[hot patrol]

it's already in my mod

@hot patrol

local Example = {}

Example.onFillInventoryObjectContextMenu = function(playerIndex, contextMenu, items)
    items = ISInventoryPane.getActualItems(items)
    local player = getSpecificPlayer(playerIndex)
    for index, item in ipairs(items) do
        if item:getFullType() == "YourModule.YourItemName" then -- Guessing a bit here.
            item:setWorldTexture("TheTextureNameYouWant")
            break
        end
    end
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(Example.onFillInventoryObjectContextMenu)

return Example

You could try this.

[thick karma]

Need to create textures for the models if they are not using textures yet

Presumably

[deft falcon]

what does baseRange and customTag mean

[thick karma]

No idea on customTag, but I think the baseRange is probably measured in tiles from which the sound can be heard or somehow related to that.

[hot patrol]

I'll try this If I can figure out how to add it. You are totally right about me needing to learn this. Thinking about buying lessons at some point.

[deft falcon]

could I just write nil for customTag

[hot patrol]

Potential flaw to this would be I would need a unique function for every unique item.

[thick karma]

Not necessarily. You could actually just make a generic function that takes one string as input and returns another.

And then just activate that function on every texture that exists in inventory.

And design it to simply return the same texture if an alternate doesn't exist in a table you made.

[thick karma]

Yeah, presumably that would be fine. Or "", since it's a String. Guessing an empty String would be harmless.

[fast galleon]

you can use "default", "whisper", "shout", "radio"

[deft falcon]

does it have something to do with zombies hearing

[fast galleon]

I don't think so

[deft falcon]

k

[fast galleon]

I mean when you shout, it then leads to this but this doesn't cause any hearing

[deft falcon]

kk then

[thick karma]

Do you know if Say(..., "shout") has behavior identical to SayShout()? I ask because I notice that SayShout(aThing) can be seen by other online players, whereas Say(aThing) cannot.

If I could make colorful shout text that is also visible online, it would be cool to know that.

[fast galleon]

the strings above do that

they change behaviour slightly

but Say can be used with one string or all the vars mentioned above

the final function is: private void ProcessSay

[frank elbow]

Wym by "in white"?

[fast galleon]

r,g,b = 1,1,1

[frank elbow]

I mean more specifically than that lol

The shout chat is hardcoded to not accept colors in the overhead speech bubbles afaik

[sour island]

Say code does different things depending on whisper/shout etc

In order to get say() working I MP for cnd speech I used a command

[thick karma]

Woops meant green, i.e. default color.

[thick karma]

Yeah fair. I just went with making my Say a SayShout. I know, I'm a bum.

[frank elbow]

Not all that important to what you're saying, but the speech bubble color differs per player (there's an option in settings to modify it under Multiplayer)

[thick karma]

Oh cool!

I did not know that!

Omg

[frank elbow]

I didn't know about the option until recently either. I was adding that feature to my mod & then came across sendPersonalColor and was like ???

[thick karma]

Personal Text Color

Duh

That's what Personal Text is

Of course lol

[prisma imp]

Happy to hear it!

[glass basalt]

Man, i hope it doesn't mess up the spawn drops with hundreds of cassettes

[sleek heath]

i will admit

i kinda wish there wasnt as many cassettes in some of the things lol

i wish you could adjust the rate

[bronze yoke]

mfteotw has to use custom spawning logic to get around this

[barren junco]

Imagine getting Rick Rolled in project zomboid

[sleek heath]

haha

its there

every banger

i do have songs after 1993 aswell but i wanted to stick to the lore

[glass basalt]

Technically you can. I think True Music makes the cassettes into individual items? If not, you can at least modify the "cassette" category in the procedural distribution injectors

[opal rivet]

That's a lot of songs

[sleek heath]

in the custom sandbox settings?

[glass basalt]

In the mod files. Lua code & txt script files

[sleek heath]

ah

[sleek heath]

yea i cant find any lua file that has anything about spawn rates

[glass basalt]

If you would like some help with tweaking the spawn rates for your mod, I can DM you what I'm referring to and explain them

[sleek heath]

yes

that would greatly help

[glass basalt]

It would be under lua\server iirc, not at PC rn

[sleek heath]

:)

[glass basalt]

Alrighty, I'll get on that soon, ttyl 👋

[sleek heath]

yep

I finally have recipes rendering as JSON..

you can fix the commonality by changing the rarities in ur own distribution file but

this is so much easier

spawn in blind boxes basically

[glass basalt]

oh wow this is p neat

[weak sierra]

i used to tweak the dist rates

but this made that unnecessary xD

[sleek heath]

awesome, i'll give both options a try for sure

but if this makes it easier then i'll give this a shot aswell

[weak sierra]

the way ibrrus wrote the distribution example makes it a pain to tweak

[sleek heath]

do they still spawn in regular containers?

or only special crates?

[weak sierra]

they spawn in the same places

[sleek heath]

ah ok

[weak sierra]

just instead of loose tapes

u find openable packs

[sleek heath]

just less frequent

[weak sierra]

yeah

[sleek heath]

ah

nice

thats useful

I'll give this one a try then

[weak sierra]

the example for dist in true music has hardcoded values for each song even tho they are the same value

i wish he'd written the script to use a variable at the top or smth

then it'd be so easy

whenever i write distribution files for N things of a type

i always make the rarity a value then make the entries use rarity / #items

that way if i add more items they stay the same rarity

i also use loops instead of manually writing a line for each

easier

but mostly i just wish he'd put the value in a variable

[red tiger]

mmmmmmmmmm

Well that's cool. Rewrote my parser and things are looking clean.

[weak sierra]

if anyone here wants to do in-house mod dev on an RP server with hardcore gameplay hmu i could really use other devs, it's just me and sporadically a friend of mine when he's available

[sleek heath]

i think in notepad++ you can change a ton of values that are the same at the same time

makes it faster

[weak sierra]

yeah u can do that too

but like.. why did he write it like that to begin with

lol

[glass basalt]

like what kind of mod dev 🧐
