Afaik

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

My workaround has lots of things involved and would like to make it simplier

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

I had to use commands to make Meditation MP compat doing this.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

Yes

#

Thats what i did

#

Lua

#

Dhert made time action

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

There may be a smarter way to fire the animations that automatically sends the animation update data to everyone but idk what it is

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

Both method works

#

Yes by doing timeaction

#

Or emote

#

But thats not applicable to stance

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

I wouldn't say that's smarter necessarily, whether that works for you is context dependent.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

Or moving

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

He can't make a timed action for idling 😛

#

I can't make a timed action for sitting

#

I mean I guess I could but it's be more of a hassle.

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

wtf, why is it doing this now :c

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

Ehat sitting is a time action isnt it

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

No

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

hollow shadow wtf, why is it doing this now :c

Blend

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

ancient grail Blend

ah right

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:16 AM

#

Adjust xml blend

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

No he doesn't want it to go back to the upright position at all.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

You can add blend out

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

yeah it should be like this

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

thick karma No he doesn't want it to go back to the upright position at all.

Emote works

#

We got away with not using time action . By using emote..

#

#mod_development message

If you scroll up there are more vids i posted

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

I'm not sure if you can play an emote while entering the sitting position.

#

maybe, but idk

#

I doubt it.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

Does it have to be on the sit position really tho

#

You can just set the state maybe if it has too

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

hollow shadow wtf, why is it doing this now :c

In your animation's action XML file, make sure to replace these too:

        <m_Target>aim_rifle</m_Target>
        <m_AnimName>Bob_IdleToAim_Rifle</m_AnimName>
    </m_Transitions>
    <m_Transitions>
        <m_Target>walkRifle</m_Target>
    </m_Transitions>
    <m_Transitions>
        <m_Target>runRifle</m_Target>
        <m_AnimName>Bob_IdleToRun_Rifle</m_AnimName>
    </m_Transitions>```
The animname should be replaced with your animation, as does different animations based on some conditions too

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

Ahhhhh good catch @dark wedge

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

i was planning to do that, but wanted to get the idle animation working first

Thats what i did and the m target is the filename of the xml

ancient grail You can just set the state maybe if it has too

I am unaware of any ways to tell Java the player is sitting without activating the javaside sitting mechanisms.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

I see

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

Maybe it could be done

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

Then your method is safe i bet

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

I could possibly just emote into an animation loop

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

not sure what i did to make this happen tho, its broken now

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

and then set the sit state manually

#

I just don't know how

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

Also, y'all should know that OnEquipPrimary and OnEquipSecondary events are synced in MP for all players. So, if all you need is to update a weapon on equip, can use these events. no need for a custom command. 🙂

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:25 AM

It breaks easily

#

So make backup

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:25 AM

you think its the animation fbx itself?

its suposed to stay at the modded idle. the one before it snaps back

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

Oh nice @dark wedge

#

Actually those are listed... did you originally type OnPrimaryEquip?

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

hollow shadow its not suposed to switch to the vanilla idle

I gave the wrong snippet.

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:28 AM

if you're running around and stuff

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

hollow shadow also, is there a way to reload the scripts and xmls without restarting the geam ...

XMLs auto reload

#

When you save them

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

action files and animations should be refreshed automatically on external change

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

dark wedge if you're running around and stuff

omg good catch

#

i should have godmoded myself ughh

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

thick karma XMLs auto reload

ingame?

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

Yes

#

you'll notice a little skip when they do

#

Most likely

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

what about animation fbx

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

thick karma Thought I read it that way and searched for that

Yea, I typed it wrong. its OnEquip{Primary,Secondary}

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

Not those

#

Maybe those? Idk

#

I thought I had to reboot if I updated my FBXs, I could be wrong

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:30 AM

FBXs don't seem to reload automatically. .X do, but those kinda suck. xD

should name and animname be the same?

or should it be vanilla "IdleRifle"

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:36 AM

Should be diffrent but idk which method youre doing my method or burry agas or dherts

dhert

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:36 AM

You cant combine em all ow ok

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:36 AM

and without burrys template i cant even start the animation

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:36 AM

@dark wedge youre up hehe

#

Im using an adopted version of dislaiks method

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:37 AM

#

hollow shadow and without burrys template i cant even start the animation

I mean I am by no means well-informed about weapon animations

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:38 AM

#

It would surely involve lua
Burry aga had his own method it also involves lua
Dhert uses timed action

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:38 AM

#

My template is for overriding nil focus general animations, one of which happens during a timed action, one of which does not.

#

A timed action is not a solution to this problem unfortunately.

#

That would be unwieldy a.f.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

Feeling lazy.. but need to work... Almost finish with the entire queue list. Need to start looking for clients pretty soon

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

You would have to design it to constantly be interrupted and then re-engage

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

hollow shadow should name and animname be the same?

doesn't have to be, no

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

Just to stand correctly

#

You'd need to be in a timed action at all times

#

So idling via timed action imo is out @ancient grail

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

Sure

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

hollow shadow or should it be vanilla "IdleRifle"

Since you're making your own animation that is not replacing anything, it should have a unique m_Name
the m_AnimName is the actual animation track's name.

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

Idk how dhert actually uses that for hardcore hand

#

Brutal

#

Iment

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:41 AM

thick karma I also use a unique `m_Name`... though I was under the impression that it's just...

i think its how the game stores things. i.e. 2 animations with the same m_Name would overwrite.

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

hollow shadow i can just put ScrapGatling_Idle?

Yup! Both can be that

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

Sure @hollow shadow That should be fine

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

dark wedge i think its how the game stores things. i.e. 2 animations with the same `m_Name`...

I seeeeeeeeee

#

maybe that explains the behavior here

#

I thought just filename and animname and conditions needed to be unique

#

(I made my m_Name unique purely because it felt right)

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:43 AM

#

I could be wrong. I've never made an animation replacer, just added my own animations/conditions so the name was unique for sure. ha

hollow shadow Feb 28, 2023, 5:44 AM

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:44 AM

My biggest recommendation would be to NOT do an override of the equip/unequip action. that is nuclear overkill for this.

local onPrimary = function(character, weapon) 
    if not character then return end
    if instanceof(weapon, "HandWeapon") and weapon:getFullType() == "Module.ItemName" and character:isItemInBothHands(weapon) then
        character:setVariable("ScrapGatlingEquipped", true)
    else
        character:clearVariable("ScrapGatlingEquipped")
    end

#

I see. In that case, consider what @dark wedge just offered.

#

technically weapon in the params is only known to be an item at first, just for your own awareness. @hollow shadow

#

instanceof is used to confirm that the item is actually a weapon.

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:56 AM

This should work, and should work for MP too as this is called for other players in MP too.

thick karma Feb 28, 2023, 5:57 AM

Really? When another player on my server equips a primary, my client fires this event on their character object???

dark wedge Feb 28, 2023, 5:57 AM

#

But yes, it checks if the item is a weapon, if it matches your type (so replace "Module.ItemName" with your item's full name) and also checks if its in both hands. If so, it applies your anim; otherwise clears

okay so quick question for anyone who's familiar.. i have only tested on host with player connected. and in the hosts console. it's not an error or warning at all. but it starts spamming this like every in game min or so when a person that isn't the host starts doing anything with a lightswitch.

#

anyone familiar with this whatsoever? i'm chatting with glytch3r and some others but i'm stumped atm

#

it's not an error whatsoever either

rose trail Feb 28, 2023, 7:57 AM

#

drifting ore it's 100% possible

how do i do this then? seams so simple but so hard ive tried ISUI method but cant seam to crack that

bronze yoke Feb 28, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

is 10907,9993,0 the correct location? the error implies that square isn't loaded on the server, but if it's where the player is it really should be

drifting ore Feb 28, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

yea and i tested it works perfectly also

#

like synced

#

i was flicking the switch and changing bulbs

bronze yoke Feb 28, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

i would check the java for what actually prints this message

drifting ore Feb 28, 2023, 8:01 AM

#

ah good call

#

receiveSyncCustomLightSettings lol

#

this has got to be some mp sync thing

#

can't be a cooincedence that it only happens when a user touches something that isn't the host

#

If the object at that index is an instance of IsoLightSwitch, the method calls the receiveSyncCustomizedSettings() method on that object, passing in the ByteBuffer var0 and the UdpConnection object var1 as parameters.
If the object at that index is not an instance of IsoLightSwitch, the method logs an error message to the DebugLog.```

this is where i think i'm stuck atm. i'm going to spend tomorrow figuring out how to do mp sync stuff. also gonna test in dedicated and see if it's a host thing or server or what

Try create IsoLightSwitch on serverside

looking it up. i'm not super familiar with it

#

---@public
---@param arg0 UdpConnection
---@return void
function IsoLightSwitch:syncCustomizedSettings(arg0) end
``` ?

#

is this what you mean? sorry if i'm not quite there. the sync stuff is a little beyond me

#

oh maybe this...

---@public
---@return void
function IsoLightSwitch:addToWorld() end

well i guess it's going to be a fun homestretch for this one 😄 nice part is this is my final step

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

#

The issue is that I fall out of sync with tokens when building them after a part in a template vehicle.

#

Me trying to reuse code caused it.

#

I'm going to statically build vehicle and template vehicle when I touch them again.

#

Redundant code, but can't be asked to build effective code for what I'd consider to be troublesome implementation for the game. =/

#

Besides syntax adjustments, everything in ZedScript is okay except the vehicles.

#

I'd literally need an application that gives me the ability to edit without being in script to work with vehicle scripts. Crazy stuff.

#

Not sure how @faint jewel does it.

#

Hoping that template is eventually used for other script content. This is a good idea that would help a lot of modders.

Hey, sorry for the beginner questions but i'm kinda stuck. I want to remove the recipes for Disinfect Bandages and do my own. I tried the Overwrite tag but it will only overwrite one of the 4 recipes. Now i tried the "obsolete" tag but it does nothing. Any ideas?

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 1:11 PM

#

you shouldn't have to do either.

#

as long as it is named the exact same, it should auto overwrite the default.

#

you will have to rewrite all 4 of the recipes if that is the issue.

split basin Feb 28, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

I did that and changed the time to 10-13, but instead of overwriting it will add them as new recipes

#

So now there are 8 recipes

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

so it's not overwriting them.

#

i will admit that i have not overwritten recipes.

#

i have overwritten items.

#

so i'm going off what i know.

#

is there a mod out there that modified them already?

#

you could see what they are doing that you might be missing?

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

you could iterate the existing recipes in Lua and use setIsHidden on them

split basin Feb 28, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

It works for recipes with only one version, but "Disinfect Bandage" has 4. so its only overwritng the last one. I think its a bug

When should i execute that script? I guess in a lua event but which one? OnGameStart?

sour island Feb 28, 2023, 1:56 PM

Should be on shared if I'm not mistaken as you need both host/connections server/client to match

#

I use OnGameBoot - but I think that may trigger anti-cheat if you let it run more than once

#

Recently started doing this for SP/MP

Events.OnLoad.Add(function)
if isServer() then Events.OnGameBoot.Add(function) end

Servers don't run OnLoad, and I check isServer to keep onBoot on MP

sour island Feb 28, 2023, 2:15 PM

But that should work -- I'd only be concerned with how recipes handle translations

The naming conventions for scripts (being they're so old) can be a bit convoluted - so you should try to confirm getName gets the untranslated one

add a language after the first set

I know you can safely transmit isoPlayers and inventoryItems -- I could have sworn it was safe to transmit squares -- but maybe the reference of a square gets weird?

#

Would make sense that the references don't line up in MP tho

#

You might not ever see another player's loaded squares

tame mulch Try do by square under mailbox and use transmitmoddata()

local function onDoMail(player, obj)
    player:Say("Mail Time!")
    local square = obj:getSquare();
    local mBox = square:getModData();
    mBox.dDate = 1;
    mBox:transmitModData()
end

local function onNoMail(player, obj)
    player:Say("No Mail For You!!")
    local square = obj:getSquare();
    local mBox2 = square:getModData();
    mBox2.dDate = nil;
    mBox2:transmitModData()

Why does pz source code loop in pairs, rather then just looping through bodypart damaged rather then just looping normally?

 local bodyPartDamaged = ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.haveDamagePart(player);

  for i,v in ipairs(bodyPartDamaged) do

Are you asking why it's ipairs instead of pairs?

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

calm depot Are you asking why it's ipairs instead of pairs?

Also that, but why is in pairs rather then a normal for loop

for i in bodypartDamaged(count) do
  ...

frank elbow Feb 28, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

Are you asking why using ipairs is necessary, or why it declares both i and v when it only uses v?

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

I suppose both would be nice!

frank elbow Feb 28, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

Presumably bodyPartDamaged is a table, so without a __call metamethod your code example would not work. I think you're asking a deeper question about Lua, to which I'd recommend reading up on how for loops work in Lua

#

The short answer is that you can't use a table directly in a for loop

#

As for why it declares both, 🤷🏾. The code could very well use _, v to show that it's unused, but if you need to use the value you have to declare it like that when using ipairs or pairs, because it gives you both the index and value

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

frank elbow Presumably `bodyPartDamaged` is a table, so without a `__call` metamethod your c...

Yes I'm used to code in c++ and c# so I'm a bit surprised I needed to loop through a table with one value with a pair

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

ipairs/pairs are the standard way to iterate over a table, which one you use depends on whether it's sequential keys or not

frank elbow Feb 28, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Gotcha, yeah I'd recommend reading up on Lua a bit to understand how some stuff works. Definitely not 1:1 with c++ or c#

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

so in that case, "i" is the index of the table and "v" the result I see

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Then in C++/C# you'd be familiar with a range-based for loop

#

E.g. for auto&& i : vec

#

Or in C#, foreach

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

Yes exatly, so is a table treated more like a std::map, or a Dictionary in c#?

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

In lua, a table can be a mixture of both

#

It can function as either an array or dict

#

One, or both at the same time

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

But thanks to the both of you that really helps understanding how it works. Because I was thinking tables would just be a normal array so when it was looping in pairs I was a bit confused!

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

pairs is for arbitrary keys, ipairs is for keys in the range 1 to N

rustic garnet Feb 28, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah that makes a lot of sense!

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

Pairs has no stable sequence either

#

If you add or remove a key, pairs might iterate in a completely different order

sour island Feb 28, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Only if the keys are non-numeric right?

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

is it possible to just CREATE some items in a container?

sour island Feb 28, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Yes

#

itemCont:addItem or addItems

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

sour island Only if the keys are non-numeric right?

I think it's unspecified

#

I.e. even if it's only sequential numeric keys, I think an implementation is allowed to have pairs do non-sequential order

#

I certainly wouldn't want to rely on it

#

(and indeed, why would you when ipairs exists)

sour island Feb 28, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

ipairs removes keys in place of numbers doesnt it?

#

I don't think it retains any kind of order either way but I could be wrong

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

IsoRegions.isDebugLoadAllChunks()

#

what does this do

frank lintel Feb 28, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

checks if the debug option loadall is on?

ancient grail Feb 28, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

frank lintel checks if the debug option loadall is on?

yes it printed true when i check

#

but it sounds like it has potential to do stuff

frank lintel Feb 28, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

and your debug setting for that is off?

#

      return DEBUG_LOAD_ALL_CHUNKS;
   } ``` so there a flag if or what actually uses it no clue.

#

likely debug scenarios ie 'tiny maps?' only Im not sure loading all chunks on the whole world would be wise.

calm depot Feb 28, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

sour island ipairs removes keys in place of numbers doesnt it?

It doesn't remove anything, it's for iteration

#

Given a table of 1 to N and other arbitrary keys, the others will be ignored

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

hmmmmm

#

now all i need is how to add an item to a player and i believe i might have the initial version of my mod ready to beta.

deft falcon Feb 28, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

frank elbow The short answer is that you can't use a table directly in a for loop

you can with

if #table > 0 then
    for i = 1, #table do
        local v = table[i]
    end
end

#

but who tf would do that instead of just

#

for i,v in ipairs lmao

bronze yoke Feb 28, 2023, 6:33 PM

#

i've heard that ipairs runs worse

#

you don't need the if #table > 0 then check, it's redundant, so at that point```lua
for i=1, #t do
local v = t[i]
end

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 6:37 PM

#

TAKE THIS MONEY YOU BASTARD. sfdpoghadfpoihadfp[o\

bronze yoke Feb 28, 2023, 6:37 PM

#

apparently ipairs takes roughly twice as much processing time so it easily seems worthwhile to me

faint jewel Feb 28, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

so how do i give a player "Base.Money"

#

he wont take this crap when i try to put it in his inventory like i do that mailboxes.

frank elbow Feb 28, 2023, 6:51 PM

#

deft falcon you can with ```lua if #table > 0 then for i = 1, #table do local v ...

This is not using it directly either (in the sense that I mean it, anyway), since you're getting the length of the table (or more accurately of its sequential integer keys starting at 1)

#

Nonetheless good detail to include

deft falcon Feb 28, 2023, 6:52 PM

I don't know about that one specifically, but in general you can patch Java methods by modifying __classmetatables[ClassYouWantToModify.class].__index. The key you set in that table should be the name of the function you want to patch, and the value should be the function. I believe this will only affect Lua calls to it, though, so the full answer is yes and no

#

And the even more full answer is yes with Java modding, but I know little about that

tame mulch Try create IsoLightSwitch on serverside

when you said this, were you referring to creating another instance on top of the current instances on the tile on just the server side? i was really tired when i read this, but these are coming from switches that are currently in world on map creation. only change i made really besides making a wall attached moveable, was giving it Light properties in tiledef

#

i really would like to figure out the sync thing if i can, but i did notice that when player and host are near each other, there is no desync at all

wispy mesa Feb 28, 2023, 7:25 PM

hi guys, is there a way to create a zombie tree > which this tree spawn zombie and attack the player base, player can destroy this tressssss

by chopping it

#

drifting ore Feb 28, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

and the log (no error, just a general log) shows on the host side only, which i assume is why you said create on server, but any insight at all would be massive appreciation if you have an idea

#

if anyone else has a suggestion also, i'm open to trying just about anything. i can use the constructor to create a new isolightswitch but just not seeing how it would benefit me, or how i would implement it when they already exist as a static spawn in world as normal

bronze yoke Feb 28, 2023, 7:28 PM

Hey I just wanted to show you guys my progress, I need to re-center the actual logo and also make it look like it wasn't drawn by a 5-year old. I like how the text turned out and then I'm going to attempt to add little details like detailing doors. The reason I am doing this is because I just finished working at Amazon and I figured there would still be a couple of Amazon delivery vans roaming around Kentucky when the apocalypse hit. This is literally my first attempt at any retexture/modding ever.

not sure but you can get it from the timed action of the player

is there anyone who is able to do tile editing?
i have one question about tile and it's urgent

honest vector Mar 1, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

hello, I watched a modding tutorial and viewed some of the files in vs code and found that the problem I'm originally trying to fix is probably in the code of the game, found a forum where explains how to decompile the java code but I'm wondering if you can make a mod that touches that code or something like that legally for a server. My problem (the reason I'm entering modding) is because there is actually a bug where VOIP is for default muted for each player unless you approach them in voice range, then it activates (for example, if you never saw a player, the players tab will only show "Unmute VOIP" but can't press it. When meeting the player, they are unmuted and can mute or unmmute them until the session ends). This is problematic for me because unless I meet each player when I log in a server, I can't talk to them with radio/hams and I REALLY want to roleplay a radio station. Does anything of what I'm saying makes sense?

this is a bug in the base game and is possible to fix but have had some people try to find a fix with no luck, you are welcome to try, you will not have many resources to direct you on this specific subject. feel free to ask questions as much as you want though! also devs do not encourage java modding.

#

honest vector hello, I watched a modding tutorial and viewed some of the files in vs code and ...

I never saw this mute thing. Maybe its on the audio setting

frank lintel Mar 1, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

you know what exactly would be the bug in that case?

honest vector Mar 1, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

I have clues that point towards the voip mute system, muting by default (or a variable not set, being a fake 'false') until someone gets close and then unmuting them or creating the variable. Then the UI button actually works for the player that was close to you, instead of the other players never met, where the button doesn't work

#

But I need to look into the java code for this

frank lintel Mar 1, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

yeah but any idea where Im thinking the same thing already got java set up more then lua when it comes to docs _

honest vector Mar 1, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

the VoiceManager class I think

#

the UI button calls VoiceManager:playerGetMute and is getting a "is muted" equivalent, and when pressing the button and calling VoiceManager:playerSetMute it does nothing

just like MC, dont share source since ya should be extracting it from your own install... sorry couldnt help more that flag seems to be related to either being Voice activated or PTT but then there another mode where both are off? which makes no sense unless maybe thats controller related stuff?

what is the name of your texture file

#

if it's an item icon, it has to be item_yourItemType

#

example

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 4:34 AM

#

glass basalt what is the name of your texture file

yea its Item_SpiffoCard_back

drifting ore Mar 1, 2023, 4:35 AM

#

also you icon i think is 22x22 or something around there. pan might be able to confirm there

#

off the top of my head so not 100%

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 4:35 AM

#

it says 32x32 and mine was 32x23 but i changed it to 32x32 and still wasnt loading

drifting ore Mar 1, 2023, 4:36 AM

glass basalt Mar 1, 2023, 4:37 AM

#

there you go

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 4:39 AM

item SpiffoCard1
{
DisplayName=Spiffo Trading Card #001 - Spiffo,
Icon=Item_SpiffoCard_back,
Weight=0.01,
Type=Normal,
WorldStaticModel=SpiffoCard1,
}

#

here is the texture

#

i feel like im doing it right but idk why its not loading in game

drifting ore Mar 1, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

where is that icon located? in textures?

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

yea

drifting ore Mar 1, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

you are setting your module also?

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

no i havnt set those up yet, was just trying get the item texture to show up first

#

do i need do that?

drifting ore Mar 1, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

just for now use Base module

#

yea

#

module Base {

#

} at end

#

good to go

#

you can use your own also

#

like module mymodule

#

setting your module will use that prefix when someone calls the items outside of the scope of your mod itself without importing your module first

#

if you set Base you dont need to import it

#

if you dont and you want to use without prefix then you import it after you set your module name

#

{
    imports
    {
        Base,
}```

#

before i forget. if anyone out there with more sprite knowledge than myself (so pretty much everyone) i am trying to find if i can select a sprite for context menu without it grabbing the entire square all the way to the ceiling. i assumed it wasn't my sprite causing the issue but wasn't 100%. is there another way to grab it without grabbing the entire square?

#

i can be clicking WAY off from the sprite itself even though the condition is the sprite specifically, and it still grabs the entire square

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

im still having trouble getting this mod to work. my code looks right and everything works like its suppose to. my world item textures are loading find but my item icon textures just wont load.

#

#

And I also need setter of item weight

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

@little kraken

function SusceptibleUtil.setWeightChange(item, key, amount)
    local data = SusceptibleUtil.getItemModData(item);

    local change = amount;
    if data.weights[key] then
        change = amount - data.weights[key];
    end

    data.weights[key] = amount;

    -- UPDATE THE ITEMS WEIGHT
    item:setActualWeight(item:getActualWeight() + change);
    item:setCustomWeight(true);
end

Code from one of my mods that changes an items weight. Looks like ActualWeight is the one you're looking for.

#

cant you just hook onto oneat function, there should be something like that

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

Actually, scratch my last question, I got a better one.

#

I use ModOptions for my mod, and it's confined in client/ETWModOptions.lua. It stores all options in a table, right EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings = EvolvingTraitsWorld.SETTINGS or {};. Now, there's an option GatherDebug ( EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings.GatherDebug ) that I use to gather additional data if needed in bug reports. I have require in all other of my client/**.lua, require "ETWModOptions"; to make sure it runs first so it doesnt throw errors that options don't exist cuz the lua haven't ran yet. Now, I also have 1 lua in server/ folder, 'cuz I need to hook onto OnEat_Cigarettes, and inside of there I got following

local debug = function() return EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings.GatherDebug end

local original_oneat_cigarettes = OnEat_Cigarettes;
function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: detected smoking") end
    local modData = character:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld;
        -- rest of stuff

Now, I'm getting reports that it throws error when sm1 tries to smoke, error itself is that debug() tries to access null table.

#

I dont really have access to dedicated server to test this shit

#

So need some help

#

if anyone can

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

Path of least resistance: remove the debug statement

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

I mean yea

#

But I'd prefer to properly fix the problem

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

Can't offer much else, dont have the loading details of client/server/shared memorized properly

#

Oh, wait.

#

Move your mod options file to shared

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

The settings table is global

#

why would it matter if its made in client or shared

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 10:59 AM

#

Because I don't think the server loads anything from the client folder

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 10:59 AM

#

hm

#

but it's a global table

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

The server and the client do not share lua state.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

so if i move my modoptions lua to shared it should be fine?

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 11:02 AM

#

You should be able to test it from the host option on the main menu. You don't need a dedicated server in my experience. Never saw any differences in testing with either.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:02 AM

#

how do I require it in my client then?
atm I have require "ETWModOptions";, if I move it to shared, should it be require "shared/ETWModOptions";?

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:02 AM

#

wet sandal You should be able to test it from the host option on the main menu. You don't n...

well i dont get any errors

#

If i host

#

while people send me error logs

wet sandal Mar 1, 2023, 11:02 AM

#

Require path doesn't change

#

Weird, maybe self host does share client/server state.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:48 AM

#

ok, so

#

Moving mod options to shared fixed the settings error, however now it throws error that SmokeSystem of non-table: null doesnt exist

local original_oneat_cigarettes = OnEat_Cigarettes;
function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: detected smoking") end
    local modData = character:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld;
    local smokerModData = modData.SmokeSystem; -- ON THIS LINE
    local timeSinceLastSmoke = character:getTimeSinceLastSmoke() * 60;
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: timeSinceLastSmoke: "..timeSinceLastSmoke) end
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke: "..smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) end
    local stress = character:getStats():getStress(); -- stress is 0-1
    local panic = character:getStats():getPanic(); -- 0-100
    local addictionGain = SBvars.SmokingAddictionMultiplier * (1 + stress) * (1 + panic / 100) * 1000 / (math.max(timeSinceLastSmoke, smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) + 100);
    if SBvars.AffinitySystem and modData.StartingTraits.Smoker then
        addictionGain = addictionGain * SBvars.AffinitySystemGainMultiplier;
    end
    smokerModData.SmokingAddiction = math.min(SBvars.SmokerCounter * 2, smokerModData.SmokingAddiction + addictionGain);
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: addictionGain: "..addictionGain) end
    if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.SmokingAddiction: "..smokerModData.SmokingAddiction) end
    smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke = 0;
    original_oneat_cigarettes(food, character, percent);
end```

#

BUT

it correctly updates all the values?

like what

how the hell does it correctly update the values

if it throws error

which should interrupt the scope it's in

#

???

#

what

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

So it looks like moving that to shared changed your load order in a way that prevents your character's mod data from being initialized before OnEat_Cigarettes gets called.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

but it updates all the values

#

correctly

#

it increased addiction counter

#

it reset timer

#

it done everything

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

You're saying OnEat_Cigarettes both works AND throws an exception?

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

yes

#

KekW

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

Only explanation for that is it's being called twice, from two different places, one of which is valid, one of which isn't.

#

A function cannot finish running if it hits an exception.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

that's why im in confusion of da highest orda

#

hm

#

imma make new server just in case

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 11:58 AM

#

Probably not gonna help. What mod has OnEat_Cigarettes originally?

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 11:58 AM

vanilla game

Oh

#

Hmm I am actually not throwing errors when I smoke. Let me make sure I added ETW. I wonder if I need a certain trait to throw the errors.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:04 PM

check coop console, error is there

not in console.txt

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:04 PM

ooof... lol but when I died

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

that is if you're hosting locally

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

(I was looking at your original, not the update)

#

The version mentioned in #mod_support did not generate the nonexistent mod option exception for me

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:06 PM

#

well ye

cuz you stopped calling it

Oh duh I didn't set the mod option

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I need Killcount

I don't have that dependency

#

Alright round 3

wooden lodge Mar 1, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

dull moss cant you just hook onto oneat function, there should be something like that

But how do you link it to a skill?

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:14 PM

#

to actually level up skill idk, there should be some function to add exp to a skill

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:17 PM

#

@dull moss Okay

#

It's the same problem

#

haha

#

😭

#

Events.OnCreatePlayer.Add(createModData);

#

local function createModData(playerIndex, player)
    player:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld = player:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld or {};
    local modData = player:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld

#

Server file does not know you initialized that mod data on my character

#

Because you only did it clientside.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

then how does it update the values correctly

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

Hmmm

#

Maybe the client AND the server call OnEat

#

In order to match the inventory on client and server

#

So it only fails serverside

#

But the client one works

#

Because mod data exists there.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

shrug

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

That would explain things.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

ye but this piece of code doesnt exist in client folder

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

You can call server code from client

#

Just not vice versa

#

So, yeah... I would try this:

function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)
    if isClient() then
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: detected smoking") end
        local modData = character:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld;
        local smokerModData = modData.SmokeSystem; -- SmokingAddiction MinutesSinceLastSmoke
        local timeSinceLastSmoke = character:getTimeSinceLastSmoke() * 60;
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: timeSinceLastSmoke: "..timeSinceLastSmoke) end
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke: "..smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) end
        local stress = character:getStats():getStress(); -- stress is 0-1
        local panic = character:getStats():getPanic(); -- 0-100
        local addictionGain = SBvars.SmokingAddictionMultiplier * (1 + stress) * (1 + panic / 100) * 1000 / (math.max(timeSinceLastSmoke, smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) + 100);
        if SBvars.AffinitySystem and modData.StartingTraits.Smoker then
            addictionGain = addictionGain * SBvars.AffinitySystemGainMultiplier;
        end
        smokerModData.SmokingAddiction = math.min(SBvars.SmokerCounter * 2, smokerModData.SmokingAddiction + addictionGain);
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: addictionGain: "..addictionGain) end
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.SmokingAddiction: "..smokerModData.SmokingAddiction) end
        smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke = 0;
    end
    original_oneat_cigarettes(food, character, percent);
end

#

And then just update the server with your new mod data using transmitModData from clientside if that's even necessary.

#

But server may not even need to know that, idk.

Anyone an idea why the text is so far right for the recipe?

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

i just finished my first mod!

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

thick karma So, yeah... I would try this: ```lua function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, ...

This would prevent server from running your custom code and solve the problem if I'm right. @dull moss

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:24 PM

Congratulations!

Link us!

thank you! I had the idea for awhile so am super excited to have finally done it! also surprised it wasnt already done

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:25 PM

What'd ya do?

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 12:26 PM

it def needs some fixes im going do tomorrow, its a trading card mod and i only been able find one other on the workshop and was a PKMN one

but here is mine https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940688973

Steam Workshop::Spiffo's Trading Cards

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:28 PM

#

@dull moss In fact, that code should fix both problems.

sand dragon Mar 1, 2023, 12:28 PM

#

two big things need fix are the spawning and the names for the item cards 2-5

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:28 PM

#

You could leave Mod Options in client if that's the only place you tried accessing it from the server.

#

local SBvars = SandboxVars.EvolvingTraitsWorld;

local debug = function() return EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings.GatherDebug end

local original_oneat_cigarettes = OnEat_Cigarettes;

function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)
    if isClient() then
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: detected smoking") end
        local modData = character:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld;
        local smokerModData = modData.SmokeSystem; -- SmokingAddiction MinutesSinceLastSmoke
        local timeSinceLastSmoke = character:getTimeSinceLastSmoke() * 60;
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: timeSinceLastSmoke: "..timeSinceLastSmoke) end
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke: "..smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) end
        local stress = character:getStats():getStress(); -- stress is 0-1
        local panic = character:getStats():getPanic(); -- 0-100
        local addictionGain = SBvars.SmokingAddictionMultiplier * (1 + stress) * (1 + panic / 100) * 1000 / (math.max(timeSinceLastSmoke, smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke) + 100);
        if SBvars.AffinitySystem and modData.StartingTraits.Smoker then
            addictionGain = addictionGain * SBvars.AffinitySystemGainMultiplier;
        end
        smokerModData.SmokingAddiction = math.min(SBvars.SmokerCounter * 2, smokerModData.SmokingAddiction + addictionGain);
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: addictionGain: "..addictionGain) end
        if debug() then print("ETW Logger: modData.SmokingAddiction: "..smokerModData.SmokingAddiction) end
        smokerModData.MinutesSinceLastSmoke = 0;
    end
    
    original_oneat_cigarettes(food, character, percent);
end

This version should work with mod options in client afaik.

#

Because then it won't try accessing EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings from server side.

hollow shadow Mar 1, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

@dark wedge thoughts on a shield mod?

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

@hollow shadow Hey did you ever solve that weird animation issue?

hollow shadow Mar 1, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

Nope

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

Damn, just keeps looping wrong huh?

#

If you zip it to me I can try to take a look locally.

#

Might not get to it immediately, but if you're stuck I can give it a shot

hollow shadow Mar 1, 2023, 12:37 PM

#

Main issue is that the animation only gets disabled when the gun is unequiped

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

So that's the only problem now?

hollow shadow Mar 1, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

Ye

#

I’m not at home rn so I can’t do anything

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

No worries.

hollow shadow Mar 1, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

Also the code from dhert seems to do nothing

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

Hmmm, clearly there is a way unequip is being triggered without firing the right event.

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

hollow shadow Also the code from dhert seems to do nothing

Weird!

#

I would have to try things on my end to make sense of that most likely

#

Maybe in addition to listening for weapon equip / unequips you could try the OnClothingUpdated event. It gets fired right before you unequip stuff in the timed action for unequipping stuff. Alternitively, you could decorate various functions that show up in other situations where your item becomes unequipped in an unusual way, e.g., ISInventoryTransferAction.GetDropItemOffset gets called when you drop an item.

#

If all else fails you could check the player's weapons periodically... Probably wouldn't be terribly time-consuming or noticeable for users, though obv that's not optimal.

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

sand dragon but here is mine https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=29406889...

To spawn your items, you can use a pattern like this, based on ProceduralDistributions.lua:

📎 MasteringYoga-Distributions.lua

#

I do some (very light) fancy stuff to get the rate purely because I wanted to let players customize that. Not required.

#

The rate should be a number from 0 - 100 afaik.

#

I'm guessing it represents probability of finding that item each time items get generated in that container on normal loot spawns or something close to that

#

And I think items get rolled 4 times for most containers.

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

dull moss ye but this piece of code doesnt exist in client folder

You try that last snippet?

chrome egret Mar 1, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

Does anyone know how to access the friendly name of a container? container:getType() returns something decidedly user-unfriendly, but the loot panel when selecting objects uses a friendly name. I'm wondering about how to get ahold of that friendly version.

If those things need to add up to 100, you can ensure that in your Lua after getting the user data using algebra, instead of simply forwarding the user data as it was given.

#

You can make the numbers relatIve to each other.

#

Such that 25 25 25 25 and 100 100 100 100 do the same thing

flat cipher Mar 1, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

Yes and you wouldn’t catch someone setting 50 instead of 5

#

And people inputting random numbers

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

If they set 50 instead of 5, they would generate far more zombies than they intended, but they wouldn't blackscreen and crash and think they need mod support.

dull moss Mar 1, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

KekW

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

They would just get overwhelmed by way more of that zombie than expected.

flat cipher Mar 1, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

That’s not true, the number of zombies doesn’t change

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

I mean this proportionally.

#

They would experience a higher proportion of zombies in that category.

#

And therefore if they experienced 100 zombies, yes, they would see more of the zombie they overgenerated.

No pressure, just figured it would be something you would want to fix.

They come to #mod_support and make me help them with your mod instead.

#

flat cipher Mar 1, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

Why would they come to you?

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

Because I help people in #mod_support and they go to #mod_support

#

It's an instinct many users have

#

Instead of waiting for help from authors.

#

Haha

#

But yeah if this is the outcome you prefer, no worries.

flat cipher Mar 1, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

I mean, there’s an FAQ and troubleshooting section in the mod description. Silencing the error does not make the root cause go away

thick karma Mar 1, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

I... figured it was just because you didn't know how to make it stop people from crashing. Clearly I was mistaken.
