Hey @drifting ore thanks for the animations guide, just created the first dummy animation to understand how it works and was really useful! kudos to you

[drifting ore]

and to dislaik for the guide itself!

i dont think he's here anymore unfortunately

[worldly olive]

Yeah! Saw his real name so didn't know who he was here 😛 but thanks to him too

[wheat kraken]

link it here i want to check it out

oooooh i saw that one day

is dislaik nippytime?

[drifting ore]

NO

LOL

[fast galleon]

table.insert(Distributions["Paperbag_Spiffos"].items, "SpiffoCards.cardpack");
table.insert(Distributions["Paperbag_Spiffos"].items, 100);

instead of Distributions you should use SuburbsDistributions

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["Garbagebag"].items, "Garbagebag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["Garbagebag"].items, 110);

[worldly olive]

He was the one that sent me the guide 😛 that's why I thanked him!

[wheat kraken]

xDD

try to break my mod, the fire one, im waiting someone to beat this challenge, and to stress test it

i want to see how many fps can it drops

and test if i really did an working protection to avoid be bellow 30 fps

[fast galleon]

what's the reward?

[wheat kraken]

xD

i will do a scoreboard discussion section with that

recording the date, time and mod version and the beater name and how many fires and gas puddles used to beat it

the reward is to be registered and participate in the personal mod's guinness book

hahahah

[sand dragon]

lemme try this but was having issues bc the items that can hold items, like bags, backpacks, gun cases and other cases are in another file from ProceduralDistributions and SuburbsDistributions, its in a file just called Distributions but i didnt try the Suburbs Distribution so lemme try that

Hello all, I have added a custom skill to the game but im struggling to see it added to the skills menu for the player

has anyone else been able to get a custom skill to work and show along with the others? (fittness/strength/etc)

[fast galleon]

There's a mod called Lockpicking that adds a new skill

[sand dragon]

so trying set my Card Packs to give you three cards every time, but with a dif chance for common- rare or epic cards. i got it kinda working but i sometimes get 3 or 2. im sure this is a simple fix but i just am not seeing it so wanted see if someone else can tell me what is wrong so i can fix it to work how i want

"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard4",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard5",
}

local card_uncommon={
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard4",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard5",
}

local card_rare={
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard3",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard4",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard5",
}

local card_epic={
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard1",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard2",
"SpiffoCards.SpiffoCard3",
}

function opencardpack(items, result, player)
local roll=ZombRand(0,#card_common)
player:getInventory():AddItem(card_common[roll+3])
local roll=ZombRand(0,#card_uncommon)
player:getInventory():AddItem(card_uncommon[roll+2])
local roll=ZombRand(0,#card_rare)
player:getInventory():AddItem(card_rare[roll+2])
local roll=ZombRand(0,#card_epic)
player:getInventory():AddItem(card_epic[roll+1])
end```

nvm i think i see the issue now

[runic creek]

to actually add on to this can I just add a spawnpoint to unemployed?

[worldly olive]

One more question to confirm. Every xml file for the AnimSets needs to be under a folder that already exists in the base game? Those ones. I tried with one called "test" just to test mine but didn't work, tried to move it to one called "idle" and it worked

[sand dragon]

well i fixed the last few lines of code, but still is giving me at time's 2 cards instead of 3, and im getting more epic cards then i am uncommon

[wheat kraken]

i believe it needs

i do one custom (to use both hands anim while using wheelbarrow)

and need to store it on mask right hand and stuff

[drifting ore]

i could be wrong but i have horrible luck with zombrand unless i clearly define the range

i know it's supposed to start from zero and go to the length of the table but i dont have that experience when using

[worldly olive]

Tried to do it with "death" now but nope. Maybe is something related to the name? 🤔

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animNode>
<m_Name>Test_Idle</m_Name> <!-- File name (optional)-->
<m_AnimName>TestAlexa</m_AnimName> <!-- Action name (Important!)-->
<m_SpeedScale>1.00</m_SpeedScale> <!-- Speed animation -->
<m_BlendTime>0.20</m_BlendTime> <!-- Transition between animations -->
<m_Conditions> <!-- Condition to access this animation (Important!)-->
<m_Name>TestAlexa</m_Name>
<m_Type>BOOL</m_Type>
<m_BoolValue>true</m_BoolValue>
</m_Conditions>
</animNode>

That file under the idle folder works, but if I move it to a "death" folder for example, it stops working. So maybe the "idle" in the name of the file is required? 🤔

[bright roost]

Can see this added a trait but not an entry in the level up section?

[fast galleon]

level up section?

[wheat kraken]

i call mine holdingbagboth_cart

same name of .xml

[fast galleon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2368058459&searchtext=lockpicking

[worldly olive]

The .fbx is same name as the xml are you saying?

[wheat kraken]

maybe its is the condition

needs to meets folder related

[drifting ore]

bare minimum needed

<animNode>
    <m_Name>NAME</m_Name>
    <m_AnimName>Animation_Name</m_AnimName>
    <m_deferredBoneAxis>Y</m_deferredBoneAxis>
    <m_SpeedScale>0.40</m_SpeedScale>
    <m_BlendTime>1.25</m_BlendTime>
    <m_Conditions>
        <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>
        <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
        <m_StringValue>CONDITION</m_StringValue>
    </m_Conditions>
</animNode>```

[wheat kraken]

mine have righthandmask m condition

i think that defines the match

[sand dragon]

what does roll actually do?

[wheat kraken]

m name, the same as .xml name

in the animset

[worldly olive]

I managed to play the animation once. But when the xml was under the Idle folder, if I create a "test" folder or whatever other name it doesn't play anymore, so I'm trying to understand if the filename needs to have some sort of relation with the folder and not only the m_name

[wheat kraken]

yours i see it is PerformingAction

that defines where can it be placed

if you change it to mine, righthandmask,
you need to place it in player, maskingright folder

you need to match the m_conditions tags on that folder @worldly olive

i assume/suppose

yours to be the same of theirs

[worldly olive]

Hmmmm

[wheat kraken]

death have no mconditions

if you check it folder

[sand dragon]

Spiffo Trading Cards help

[wheat kraken]

try to remove yours mconditions and test it there

or just use a folder that matches yours m conditions

i bypass this, using right hand mask, but doing animation on left hand too

[wheat kraken]

and let me know if it works

[worldly olive]

Yeah I'm checking and the Idle animations have those m conditions

Maybe that's why

What is the easiest way to identify a tile's name outside of the game? I'm trying to identify all the ladder tiles... I see e.g. this:

But I don't know how to see the name of the actual ladder sprites.

I believe that at least one of them is called "industry_railroad_05_20" e.g.

But how I would determine that is unknown to me...

[fast galleon]

pack viewer maybe

[split basin]

Hey, does anyone know whether the infectionLevel is connected to the bite-time? I'm trying to stop the infection for a period of time by removing the infection of the bodyparts and bodydamage but after i "reapply" the infection, the infectionLevel increases alot instantly

[thick karma]

This? @fast galleon

[thick karma]

Ahhhh thanks sorry no clue what I'm doing

[fast galleon]

it's easier with custom tiles, you just hover over the picture. locating the vanilla is a bit trickier

[thick karma]

Another win for @fast galleon:

Thanks

This is fast enough

I can work with this

Ladders about to get some animations y'all

[fast galleon]

that will be great

[thick karma]

(Animations will be courtesy of @subtle gyro)

(I'm just coding them)

Is there any harm in setting a flag on something that already has it? I.e., if I call:

    sprite:getProperties():Set(flag)
    square:getProperties():Set(flag)

That won't unset flags right? It'll just skip already-set flags?

Or... reset them?

(which would be harmless in my circumstances)

[faint jewel]

animations?

what?

how you gonna animate a ladder

[fast galleon]

funny enough I can't find this, 2nd pass did the trick. Usually you can figure it out also by counting the position of the image within the tilesheet

[modern hamlet]

How can i add free recipes to a trait?

[worldly olive]

local gardener = TraitFactory.addTrait("Gardener", getText("UI_trait_Gardener"), 1, getText("UI_trait_GardenerDesc"), false);
gardener:addXPBoost(Perks.Farming, 1);
gardener:getFreeRecipes():add("Make Mildew Cure");
gardener:getFreeRecipes():add("Make Flies Cure");

[faint jewel]

also, you welcome

@thick karma

[thick karma]

I'm animating climbing ladders.

And I don't need the sets that contain them...

[faint jewel]

that makes more sense.

[thick karma]

I needed the names of the sprites in the sets

But Polt hooked me up

I got em now

[faint jewel]

no that's the tilesheet your pack referenced.

OH i can show you how to find those easy.

[thick karma]

I mean I am currently finding them

[faint jewel]

tilesheetname_tile#

[thick karma]

I know I am currently identifying them through this

I can mouseover to see what number they are

[faint jewel]

the pack viewer. i find them via the tileset viewer.

[thick karma]

How?

[faint jewel]

same area.

tile properties.

open the .tiles for the base files.

[fast galleon]

you add the number to the prefix, e.g industry_railroad_5 + _20

[faint jewel]

yup

[fast galleon]

the number is usually the guid displayed in the tilesheet or you count the position manually

[thick karma]

I feel like mousing over the pictures is pretty fast

Also "usually" concerns me lol

I feel like I'm getting the sprite name always this way

[fast galleon]

I'm just not sure 100%, I think I saw something weird at some point

mixed prefixes

On another note, you may need to add one of the flags every time because it seems to be reset after you move

[thick karma]

Can sprite names have spaces?

I feel like this one has a space...

So, yes, but you hate it?

[fast galleon]

I guess it can? first time I see this.

[thick karma]

Anyone know of any tile packs off the top that add ladders?

I am adding a little bit of modded ladder support while I'm at this

I got Diederik's and 10YL ladders already

(At least I the ones that were full size... skipped the weird half-size ladders because unsure how they show up / would be used)

[fast galleon]

Raven Creek has ladders, not sure if they are different sprites

[thick karma]

Yeah I am actually explicitly curious about that

I didn't find a .pack for Raven Creek stuff yet searching through ProjectZomboid but I may go fishing in Raven Creek directly

Okay actually just found these:

I see no more ladders in RC tile packs...

omfg why

Wow.

[faint jewel]

?

[thick karma]

So many identical ladders.

Why

[drifting ore]

could be diff properties per ladder or something lol. thats really weird though

[thick karma]

Lol it's a set of 62 ladders index 1 to 62, named identically

(except for index)

[drifting ore]

just looking at it makes me giggle

[thick karma]

(it's more than it looks like)

(to me)

At a glance I was like what is that 30, 40? No, 62.

[drifting ore]

lmao i made all the 40 Context_Menu translations named Context_Menu_One, Two, Three etc.. who would have thought the most generic name ever was already use by vanilla? probably half the world except for me

no idea how i missed that one... lol

thanks to Pao also ❤️ figured out my issue with translations lol

[tame mulch]

Someone need help in mod creating? I need switch from fishing task for relax

I can do review code or refactoring or help with something

[glass basalt]

I need some help with fixing a client command that fires too early (before the server can even catch it)
I have the list of lua events, but I do not know which ones are server-side and which ones are client-side. Do you happen to have a list of distinctions?

[tame mulch]

I don't have list. I plan in future improve this on pzwiki. What events you want to know?

[glass basalt]

I need an event that is like OnNewGame but is server-side, because that event is only client-side, it seems. I checked

[tame mulch]

You need server side event?

[glass basalt]

yes, so that I can delay a client command for the server to spawn items on the map before the player can move their character

[tame mulch]

Try https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/OnGameStart

[glass basalt]

I will double-check this event, wasn't sure when it happens

[tame mulch]

Explain idea of what you want to do

[glass basalt]

hahaha I should do that.
When a player has a certain trait, the game needs to spawn a vehicle on the map (server-side).
Currently my client command to trigger the server to spawn the vehicle is happening before the client listener initializes, for some reason
I want to make the client command actually be seen by my command handler in OnClientCommand
Now that I think about it, a server-side event wouldn't work. I need an event that happens later than OnNewGame

[tame mulch]

OnGameStart must work

[glass basalt]

will test this 🫡

[frank lintel]

is there any event triggered by player pressing 'click to start' or indicate they already did and are in world?

[bronze yoke]

OnGameStart

[frank lintel]

yeah I gotta test that one just making sure there not something explicit to say 'hey UI's you can open now...'

[glass basalt]

darn. The client command is now sending when I want it to, but OnClientCommand does not see it. The only commands it does see are writeLog from ISLogSystem

It reads the events milliseconds after mine 😂

[drifting ore]

isn't OnGameBoot right after that also? i could be wrong there. thats what i used when the one you are using didn't work for me

[frank lintel]

well player and isalive or whatever we tried worked on one but not the other I didnt get around yet to checking gameboot I just asked since a 'red name' was offering advice figure ask

[drifting ore]

oh you are good my suggestion was for @glass basalt anyways, but could help you also

[frank lintel]

yeah the helicopter got me distracted today still wondering why IDE seems to think its exposed

[drifting ore]

this is a silly question but how the heck to i pinned a thread on workshop?

i can't for the life of me figure it out

[glass basalt]

open the discussion, it's on the right side

[drifting ore]

ahh i see it

[glass basalt]

I think OnGameBoot is when the actual program starts
"Description
Triggered when either a game or a server is being started, or when mods are getting reloaded during a game. "

[drifting ore]

wooooo

[sour island]

Anyone mess with teleportation from location? I'm having an issue where the player seemingly gets stuck in place. What I think is happening is it's teleporting the player but then completing the movement after the fact.

[drifting ore]

swear i didnt have those options earlier lol

[sour island]

I think there should be more triggers, and event"after move" and hook for movement bypassing

Speaking of hooks- it'd be nice if you could default to the vanilla behavior somehow

They'd get a lot more use - although there's only like 3 of them (?)

[glass basalt]

The client command is now sent later, but it does not reach OnClientCommand. Could I somehow check server-side if a player joins the server, creates a new character, and has a certain trait, without touching the client?

[sour island]

OnBoot fires when the game loads Lua afaik

MainMenu, then again when game starts

I was messing with OnLoad, OnGameStart and OnGameBoot -- may have mixed some of the tests up

Oh, read up a bit, there's a delay to client connections afaik

If you even use OnCreatePlayer -- I've seen it not work initially or set to a pre-connection IsoPlayer

It was very weird, but this was a while ago

Maybe some test suites and how to make test suites would be a good project for the community thing

[sour island]

OnGameLoad might work for this

Or OnLoadGame, I forget

[glass basalt]

OnCreatePlayer is during the character selection screen i think. haven't checked though

[drifting ore]

did you try gameboot?

[sour island]

It should be when the IsoPlayer is created but it behaved differently in SP than in MP

[glass basalt]

These don't exist, the closest is 'OnLoad' but that is a very common event

[glass basalt]

isn't GameBoot outside of the player joining the game? when the actual program boots?

[sour island]

It is

[drifting ore]

ahh hmm

[sour island]

OnLoad is when the player connects I believe

Or loads the surrounding map

[glass basalt]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/OnLoad
Ah yeah, the description says its after OnGameStart

ill check rn

[sour island]

It doesn't fire on MainMenu

I know that for sure, cause I made something debug info dump only in game

[glass basalt]

is OnLoad client or server side?

[sour island]

Client only

[glass basalt]

gotcha

[sour island]

Let me grab a snippet

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

My goal here was to only have the function fire once in client and once in server -- this code is in shared

I don't have to add a caveat to OnLoad for serverside

[glass basalt]

same, my trait practically triggers the same as expanded helicopter events

[sour island]

What's your trait btw?

[glass basalt]

darn, didn't fire again
lemme pull the url

I am trying to make this multiplayer compatible (because vehicles need to be placed by the server, not client)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927552076

it just needs to send information on character creation (sandbox options, traits) and then just spawn one thing and that's it

[sour island]

You could use modData on player to countdown

Have the countdown occur in OnPlayerUpdate

I've done that before for delayed events

[glass basalt]

yeah, I was considering make it delayed, but I wasn't sure which event would suit it best

also forgot I can remove events to make them stop spamming lol

I could also make an item that activates the spawn but it doesn't solve the client-server communication issue

or maybe it does, i'd have to actually see

[glass basalt]

Turns out OnLoad fires before the player actually connects

I'm gonna do that delayed trigger

[frank elbow]

Strongly agree, could be as simple as returning a boolean for whether it was handled (which is what I thought they would be when I saw them. was disappointed to see that's not the case)

[glass basalt]

Maybe a schema that has default values for every kind of class? sounds like a great deal of work, and I'm not sure if it can be done in Java or Lua

javascript games really do be looking tasty for mod development

can someone tell me how to correctly do this condition check?

Hmmm

[open drum]

may I get a help in where I could find an info about

what command can executed in server multiplay

and what functions only work in clients/single?

I found out that spawnazombienow() function doesn't work on multi

so I wanted to study on what's the difference b/w server and client specific functions

[tame mulch]

I think don't exist info about this. Need check java code or test or check how worked similar stuff in vanilla multiplayer

[open drum]

i see

[tame mulch]

Oh!

[glass basalt]

only debug commands work in singleplayer. multiplayer commands do not work in singleplayer

[tame mulch]

I think he mean lua functions

[open drum]

yea

[glass basalt]

ah

[open drum]

i meant lua functions

sorry for not being clear

[frank lintel]

what does the 'ServerCommands.lua' do in media/lua/client?

[red tiger]

Couldn't mod tonight. Had to shelter in place. Scary weather.

Hurricane force winds

[open drum]

certain lua functions shows up only on my client but server side it doesn't stay

[tame mulch]

I hope all will be fine

[open drum]

oh no.. hope u r ok

[red tiger]

Good now. Insane wind front.

[tame mulch]

Try ask what you want to do. Maybe we will can help

[glass basalt]

"I found out that spawnazombienow() function doesn't work on multi"

[open drum]

ok, For instance

[drifting ore]

they were asking generally so they know what to use in mp vs sp

[open drum]

addZombieSitting(getPlayer():getX(),getPlayer():getY(),getPlayer():getZ())

i executed this command

when I opened an "item"

but it shows up on my client side

but other's cant see it

and it just dissappears

after i get out of the region and back

[tame mulch]

I think need send command from client to server and on server side create zombie

[glass basalt]

@open drum you need to send the server the function you want to do
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15256-multiplayer-coding-questions/

[open drum]

VirtualZombieManager.instance:AddBloodToMap(44, chunk1)

[open drum]

oh great, thanks!

ill read about it

[glass basalt]

to summarize, first you need to sendClientCommand to server, server needs to see it with Events.OnClientCommand and then you can execute your code

[open drum]

same as this function calls huge amounts of blood around my char, but shows nothing on other client

[open drum]

i see i see

[open drum]

and this can call any functions? or is only limited on the server commands like /servermsg /thunder /say etc

[glass basalt]

how can I make sure clientCommandTimer exists? I need it to be a global variable. Should it outside of my object?

[glass basalt]

no, you can execute any lua code

[open drum]

i see

thank you

[glass basalt]

when the server correctly detects that your custom command happened, you can have it perform anything you want

[drifting ore]

ayy this is what i think i needed to add the ability to change light radius size from ui on the fly. here's hoping! ty for that

the mp stuff is where i put my wall up until i needed it lol

Okay, this sounds like a long shot. But I'm tyring to create a mod where a player can piggy-back another player. Right now I know I'm going to need to know how to use UI, TimedAction, and Animations. Animation is probably the hardest one, as I don't know how to import default animations because its file extension is not supported by blender. Any suggestions?

[tame mulch]

Recreate vanilla anim by animation tutorial. Or change vanilla anim by fragmotion

[plucky dirge]

The former is basically copying the animations from the original manually, and the latter is converting the files. Is that correct?

[tame mulch]

Don't need convert if you do new anim by anim guide

[plucky dirge]

What's "anim guide"?

Okay2x. Thanks!

[sly wedge]

Hi I was trying to figure how does farm/plant texture template work I dont know if there is a correct order in texture file or do i have to type in the specific pixels of the stage of growth of the plant

[glass basalt]

I believe it is defined in the XML file of the PACK archive. You should look at a plant mod that implements growing stages with TileZed exe

Success!

[02-03-23 18:41:37.637] LOG  : General     , 1677807697637> 20,547,422> [AirdroppedLUV] Events.OnClientCommand caught "AirdroppedLUV", "spawnVehicleAndItemsToClient".

...but it doesn't do anything. A new round of debugging 😔

[sly wedge]

I was checking other farm mods about that but I dont see anything but PNG file

[glass basalt]

omfg I left a blank variable in. WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE STUPID STUFF

[glass basalt]

really? that's actually really good, because PACK files are inconvenient. What are you trying to do?

there should be something that differentiates the different sprites in the png file in the code, check for any XMLs

[sly wedge]

i am making a farm mod but i dont know what is their growth order template

[glass basalt]

What mod are you looking at? So I can see what files you see

[sly wedge]

i checked Seeds for vanilla vegetables,Farming Coffee,More common seeds (41 Ready),'Mo Crops

but i dont see any xml file just png

[glass basalt]

ah, okay

I am looking at Mo' Crops

check the texturepacks folder, there is a PACK file

that should have an XML file inside when you unpack it

or is that what you are referring to?

[sly wedge]

i remember Mo' Crops i cant unpack it using ProjectZomboidPackManager

[glass basalt]

try installing the Project Zomboid Modding Tools, it has a much better way of looking at PACK files with TileZed

[glass basalt]

hidden under "Tools" in case you can't see it

[sly wedge]

yeah i see sorry this is my first time modding in project zomboid

[glass basalt]

that's good dude, we have to start somewhere

I haven't done anything with textures or models, I just write code

[sly wedge]

okay i see I will research how to use project zomboid modding tools first Thank you very much

[glass basalt]

👍

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

oh sheesh this is a thrill

[faint jewel]

???

[glass basalt]

@tame mulch @sour island thank you both

[glass basalt]

my first multiplayer mod is working

[faint jewel]

spiderman attacks a military firetruck thing?

[glass basalt]

parachutes below a military firetruck, yeah

[spring zephyr]

when i am coding the script part,

if i want to use other modules,

        Base,
        Customemodules
        }```

this will do?

[glass basalt]

no

or wait, you want to have other modules besides Base?

[spring zephyr]

yes

[glass basalt]

Usually people just import Base, and require the files that they need instead

[spring zephyr]

such as?

[glass basalt]

If Customemodules is not local, you can simply call it

[glass basalt]

one sec

[spring zephyr]

cause i have 1 mod with my custome item,
and i have 1 mod with furniture

and it's different mods they are in one workshop id.
but i want to call one of furniture to my custom item mod.
that;s why i am asking

[glass basalt]

ah, this is for .txt scripts

try it the way you have it, yes

if it does not work, you could instead set your mod to be module Customemodules and only import { Base }

honestly... I would keep it all module Base

[spring zephyr]

cause shopkeeper is belong to other mods

[glass basalt]

oh I see

try that then

[spring zephyr]

okay

[glass basalt]

I haven't seen any examples that ever import more than just Base

[spring zephyr]

okie

i think putting
XXXXmodule.item this will actually work instead of importing those all thiings

in my opinion

[glass basalt]

I don't think Kahlua interprets it like that, but it wouldn't hurt to try

[spring zephyr]

it's 3am already

i havent sleep for almost 16 days righ tnow . like everyday 2 hours in bus

[glass basalt]

You should sleep before you mod :(

[spring zephyr]

how do i test my mods without keep uploading in workshop?

is there anyway for that?

[glass basalt]

if they are in your Workshop folder, the game should find it locally in your mod list

Much, much easier to test the local mod than constantly uploading it

[spring zephyr]

so can i launch it with host-server?

[glass basalt]

yes

instead of finding the Workshop ID, your server settings need to include the mod ID

using the UI to select it under Mods is the easiest way

[spring zephyr]

please dont tell me that i only didnt add "," and i got this error and i was fightin gfor 2 hours

it will make me sad

for real

[glass basalt]

it happens to the best of us 😔

[spring zephyr]

how can i test my mods without updating on workshop? cause when i local host server it it tells me server is different

than mod version

[glass basalt]

you are subscribed to your workshop version. Remove that subscription and enable your local version in the server settings

the one in User/Zomboid/Workshop

[spring zephyr]

okay i feel so bad. cause it was "," error that made me failed for 2 hours.

[glass basalt]

you learned something very important: you do not have to upload your mod to test it. It takes way too much time

I am testing my mod, going back to code, changing a line, and relaunching the game to test it. It doesn't get any faster than that

[spring zephyr]

i mean do i need to just upload the fixed one in to my mod folder?

[glass basalt]

what do you mean

[spring zephyr]

moment

[glass basalt]

if you fixed your mod, then the game will automatically use your new fixes in the files. You only need to upload if you want to upload a new version to the Steam Workshop

[wheat kraken]

(i got no clue about solve this)
hey, someone knows what code snipped i need to have to TimedActions works in mp?
mine is getting a bug when checking isValid

ISBaseTimedAction

function: isValid -- file: FireTrailAction.lua line # 14 | MOD: Fire a trail of fuel
Callframe at: StartAction
function: begin -- file: ISBaseTimedAction.lua line # 61 | Vanilla

function: perform -- file: ISEquipWeaponAction.lua line # 184 | Vanilla
function: perform -- file: FHEquipWeaponAction.lua line # 40 | MOD: Fancy Handwork.

maybe it is a mod conflict with fancy handwork (oh no) oopsie

[spring zephyr]

@glass basalt can i invite you for a screen share?

[glass basalt]

yes. sorry, was working on mod

[wheat kraken]

if someone can be able to debug together my first mp bug report (with video included + debug log txt), i have 0 experience on mp compatible mods, i will be glad to learn with it, from such amazing person (and i dont have hardware resources/specs to run server-client here, 8 gb ram, i5, no video card)

[drifting ore]

very nice dude

[sly wedge]

@glass basalt thank you i think i figure it out

[drifting ore]

you got it workin right?

omg nm

i literally just read success LOL

i have a feeling this is the breakthrough moment

[drifting ore]

don't go breaking that juicy mod now

[wheat kraken]

xD it is yours debug?

[drifting ore]

i just grabbed that from your link

off thatgdrive

" The StartFire function was called on Client."

IsoFireManager.StartFire(sqElem:getCell(), sqElem, true, 100, randDurationFireEnergy[ZombRand(3)+1]);

i need to place that on server lua folder?
because clients cant spawn fire
from no where
only server side can spawn fire using it
it is it?
i suppose

IsoFireManager.StartFire is a command line, commented by developers, in burncorpse code

--
investigation update:
with Panopticon
yes, fire must spawn server-side because it touches the world
Anything in the world (tiles, cells) must be server
Anything player (inventory, timed actions) must be client

the method stays the same, you simply have it run on server only, on command
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15256-multiplayer-coding-questions/

[glass basalt]

...maybe? the vehicle spawns as it should but currently I need to split my function into two to make the client spawn items
and effectively double the amount of code I have because client & server need to have two-way communication

[wheat kraken]

it only happens on mp

[sour island]

Really scratching my head with teleporting -- I'm doing the way vanilla does it but it doesn't seem to work.

SetXYZ and Lxyz

Tried to do it during onPlayeeMove but I figured the timing was off

Now I set up a timed action to fire off onPlayeraUpdate if the player isn't moving

And it still doesn't seem to work - but the screen flickers a bit -- seems like it's reloading the map

[glass basalt]

do you constantly teleport or do you teleport once

[frank lintel]

using the method debug window does?

[glass basalt]

there is also telecorn, that isn't debug

[frank lintel]

talking code...

[glass basalt]

you don't know what telecorn is? 😂

[frank lintel]

nope because I dont TP unless Im in debug

[bronze yoke]

you must not eat a lot of corn

[frank lintel]

point was that code works... look at it

[glass basalt]

Telecorn is an easter egg
Each time you eat corn there is a random chance you teleport to a predesignated location

[frank lintel]

actually never ate any unless it was in a can

[glass basalt]

me neither lol, never survived to get to full-scale farming

[frank lintel]

I havent even touched it I got started on using superb survivors and my debugging self couldnt help it

[glass basalt]

you should make a function that makes all superb survivors teleport to you on command lol

[frank lintel]

all? maybe if they were in the group be possible

[bronze yoke]

player:setX(x)
player:setY(y)
player:setZ(z)

player:setLx(x)
player:setLy(y)
player:setLz(z)
```has worked perfectly for me in the past

[sour island]

That's what I'm using

I'm wondering if the tail end of the movement is disrupting it - but even just standing still seems to not work

[bronze yoke]

i was using it in the perform method of a timed action, if that could be related

[sour island]

I moved what I have to a perform as well

The timed action fires off but the player doesn't move

[frank lintel]

grr wish this GH was seriously laid out like the actual mod so I didnt have to copy crap all over the place

[tame mulch]

You do it in mp?

[sour island]

Nope

Trying to get it working in SP at least lol

[tame mulch]

Can you send code?

[sour island]

This was supposed to be a simple comission 😭

Can't right now, in bed

[tame mulch]

Same 😄

[sour island]

The gist is there's a list of coordinates with target IDs - A goes to B, B goes no where

In player update if the players xyz matches one of the coords it teleports

[tame mulch]

Try firstly copy all code from teleport tool and then change it

[sour island]

I'll try to simplify it tomorrow but it's pretty bare bones

[tame mulch]

Maybe incorrect coords?

[sour island]

It activates when I walk over the intended entry area

I'd have to check if I messed up the target area somehow

[wide oar]

Hey guys

i have a question

is it possible to make a mod to steal this

i'd like to be able to pick this up and take it home

and put it in my house

im gonna call it Grab the Gas Station after that mobile game meme "Grab the auto"

[ancient grail]

Yeah it is . Wanna commission this?

[wide oar]

No i want to make it myself lmao can you teach me

[ancient grail]

I can give you the logic. But the not the whole thing

You should have a moveable script item. You check for the property piped something forgot the actual syntax. And im currently using mobile..

Then after that store the sprite into a moveable obj as well at the fuel it has into that items moddata

Not sure if theres an event but if theres none.
Then probably replace its "place" context menu to take account for its fuel moddata
Then once its spawned apply the moddata.

You would also need to replace way you pick it

Or atleast thats what i think is how it should be done but there might be a better way if anyone else knows

[wide oar]

how much for commission

[glass basalt]

you should try making it first 😂

making it pretty is the hard part, but starting small and making something happen with those particular gas pumps is a good step

like right click and make a custom thing pop up

Is it possible to pass objects through arguments?

an object I pass as an argument seems to not properly point back to what it refers to

[wheat kraken]

what are the lowest server .ini config, for low specs pc? can link it here?

[frank lintel]

yay finally got 1 step done...

[frank lintel]

yep just verified finally got that odd hotkey open window bug eliminated

[wheat kraken]

how do i connect in my own local dedicated server?

i manage to open using a dedicated server it cost less resource (it uses only terminal)
but how do i connect to it

[frank lintel]

ie you playing and hosting same rig?

if so then its just localhost or 127.0.0.1 and use the right port '#'

same network in your home then its whatever address in the local network for that computer

[wheat kraken]

like, i just launch the dedicated server zomboid from steam library

i need to use -nosteam flag?

[glass basalt]

no

[wheat kraken]

i need to use my public ipv4?

[wheat kraken]

or this can works

[frank lintel]

if you do that honestly is a problem

[glass basalt]

try your public IPv4, and then try your internal IP, which is 127.0.0.1

I haven't been able to connect with either

sux

[frank lintel]

make sure the port # is right

and also firewall not blocking traffic

[wheat kraken]

it will be nice if i can force it to run localhost

[glass basalt]

you mean 127.0.0.1:16124 or whatever it is?

[wheat kraken]

because it shows that are running on my public ipv4

[frank lintel]

well you can define that normally dunno this game but whatever they use

[glass basalt]

that is what HOST does 😂

[plucky dirge]

how do you add a dummy player for testing in debug mode?

[wheat kraken]

xD

[frank lintel]

I havent tried doing MP stuff so I never done the whole play and host yet (but I can on a threadripper)

[glass basalt]

you need to add an IsoPlayer to a tile in the world

[frank lintel]

https://github.com/Sycholic/Superb-Survivors first step.

fixed that odd bug with keybinds and opening the windows apparently wasnt just quest window only was also the group window also

but as the readme says its not official Im just trying to get the GH up to date so first forked the mod and uploaded mod as is for a start point then started so tech real first commit

[glass basalt]

Insurgent - Airdropped LUV Add-on officially works in multiplayer! 🥳

[frank lintel]

nice

[glass basalt]

now I need to finalize some changes and upload

[frank lintel]

thats my end goal honestly Im gonna try and see if I can get this MP working

[glass basalt]

simply set a password and no one will be able to join

[frank lintel]

oh thats just ghey went you self hosting with a dedi

[wheat kraken]

i think this is a problem, i need to set my dedicated server to be a nonsteam

[glass basalt]

no, you are getting that because dedicated server is nonsteam

both your game and you need to be steam

if you want to connect and have mods

-nosteam just disconnects the Steam functionality

[wheat kraken]

my server is running, but client receive no server response

[frank lintel]

firewall exclusion just might not include local ip stuff who knows

[glass basalt]

honestly haven't taken a look at firewalls, but you may need to unblock the steam port for the server

maybe a quick search will solve the issue

[frank lintel]

far as I knew --nosteam was only when ya hosting dedi and a client from same box because you cant double run technically same program same steam UUID

[glass basalt]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe

[frank lintel]

arma is like that

[glass basalt]

@wheat kraken try what you said, it wouldn't hurt

but when I did --nosteam, my workshop mods did not download

[frank lintel]

I would have to host my dedi's on a different name (didnt matter cuz it was FFA didnt need to own) then just played on my normal name but thats two different rigs. same rig always had to force a nosteam thing

now if I could find out whats popping these 4 other errors which Im betting same problem trying to start a 'nil' window or pre-render or something

[wheat kraken]

it was firewall

thank you!

[frank lintel]

money

np

[wheat kraken]

HAHAHA

xD

i got response on menu, its is trying to connect now

this takes too long?

[frank lintel]

dunno like I said never dealt with MP yet...

[wheat kraken]

@glass basalt

me either

that non mp experience is crazy (i didnt play mp yet)

no one believes

[frank lintel]

?

[glass basalt]

he means that people don't understand just how crazy it is to play solo 😂

[wheat kraken]

i only play sp games

only solo

[glass basalt]

I used to play PZ in MP but friends went to different games :(

[frank lintel]

I didnt think its too bad but again only played SP so far

[glass basalt]

making this mod MP definitely expanded my understanding in modding though. Don't even mind that I'll never play my own mods in MP lol

[frank lintel]

I did alot of backend stuff in MC so I got a rough idea of it only reason even thinking of maybe trying to get this working for MP.

[wheat kraken]

i use this before -debug
to define my priority order
-modfolders mods,workshop,steam

its not possible to connect in your own server without using -nosteam

i manage to edit dedicated server command line, to steam=0

[frank lintel]

yeah didnt think so even bet anti-cheat seeing it as a dual UUID login

[wheat kraken]

maybe if you edit server .ini to enable two

Limits the number of different accounts a single Steam user may create on this server. Ignored when using the Hosts button.\nMinimum=0 Maximum=2147483647 Default=0

MaxAccountsPerUser=0

this can be userful too, to choose mods

List Workshop Mod IDs for the server to download. Each must be separated by a semicolon. Example: WorkshopItems=514427485;513111049

WorkshopItems=

[frank lintel]

does MP let you pick a character to use like SP does?

[wheat kraken]

i think you can enable it in ini

[frank lintel]

nvm says accounts, Im thinking characters

[wheat kraken]

ServerPlayerID determines if a character is from another server, or single player. This value may be changed by soft resets. If this number does match the client, the client must create a new character. This is used in conjunction with ResetID. It is strongly advised that you backup these IDs somewhere

ServerPlayerID=

how do i define my self as admin?

im not able to run pz as debug, if im not the admin server

when running dedicated server

[glass basalt]

/setaccess PlayerName "admin"

[wheat kraken]

uhuul!

its is working ! now i have a enviroment to test my mp mods!

[frank lintel]

nice

[wheat kraken]

dedicated server saves me

a must recommended for lowspecs pcs

[frank lintel]

they do use UUIDs to track what player is who correct?

[wheat kraken]

if mods that allow character save works it is possible to load it,

or maybe in config files rs

[wheat kraken]

i dont know about that

[frank lintel]

well in MP how do you know two same named ppl are different data wise?

gotta be some unique id method

[wheat kraken]

the getPlayer(number) is a terror in mp, i think this is real

i read about it i think

[bronze yoke]

by sqlid

[wheat kraken]

nice! yeah its a db

[frank lintel]

yeah but does it change upon reconnecting or does that # stay unique is the key

[bronze yoke]

sqlid is persistent

[wheat kraken]

saved in server

[bronze yoke]

if you don't need persistence use onlineids instead

[frank lintel]

oh it would be absolutely needed for this mod

[wheat kraken]

user database "%userprofile%\Zomboid\db\servertest.db"

[frank lintel]

really hate windows for having so many refs to the same folder...

[bronze yoke]

steamid can be used to similar effect most of the time

[frank lintel]

yeah a steamID would be basically UUID like in uniqueness

[bronze yoke]

sqlid differentiates between different players using splitscreen but if you don't care about that steamid is a lot easier to work with

[wheat kraken]

setaccess command is not working on dedicated server

Unknown command /setaccess reifel "admin"

[bronze yoke]

setaccesslevel

[wheat kraken]

Unknown command /setaccesslevel reifel "admin"

[frank lintel]

btw what anti-cheat does MP use?

[wheat kraken]

without bar works setaccesslevel reifel "admin"
@glass basalt

[bronze yoke]

you don't need to use the slash if you're putting it directly into the server console, it already knows everything you're typing is a command

you only need that if you're entering it through the chat

[wheat kraken]

nice!

im so happy that now i can do mp compatibility tests on my mods :)))

sycholic and panopticon and albion you are amazing and supportive to make this possible

im really thankful

[glass basalt]

aww dont get me into dad mode I'll start talking about working at Oracle and the DoD and welding fiberoptics back in the early 90s

I dont drink so that emote dont work really albeit I look like that atm... 🚬

[glass basalt]

after I finished suffering with adding multiplayer support... now im gonna do it again by duplicating it for a different use case lol

how does "Custom Vehicle Start" sound?

[frank lintel]

like one that doesnt take the key out when you just turn it off?

[glass basalt]

nah, I mean starting the game with a vehicle with you

There is already a mod or two like that but they don't let you choose the vehicle :^)

[frank lintel]

oh my cheat mod if I use it lets me pick anything and fix it to 100 lol

get key etc etc

[glass basalt]

we call it "balans" lmao

[frank lintel]

I mean honestly I never had issues with getting a car, gas was always the thing

[glass basalt]

im getting it for flavor. tired of spawning in the middle of nowhere and walking god knows how long

[drifting ore]

as a roleplayer myself i can appreciate something like this 😄

[frank lintel]

if anything mod that actually makes cars realistic and not like zero reason 50% health while in a parking lot

[glass basalt]

haha like a globally-vehicle-repairing mod lol

the sandbox options already determine vehicle condition though

[frank lintel]

more like just fix them how they actually spawn not so damaged unless its like in the accident scene stuff

didnt think there was... have to look again then

[wheat kraken]

@bronze yoke or someone knows how to reload lua script server side? using dedicated server?

[glass basalt]

theres a command for it, idr what it is

[frank lintel]

and nope it dont

[bronze yoke]

reloadlua "file" iirc

not sure if you need to include .lua

[glass basalt]

"General Condition", have you tried that?

[frank lintel]

yeah but it effects everything even stuff that should be trashed

[glass basalt]

ahhh

[frank lintel]

atleast thats how it seems to me

[glass basalt]

I keep it at normal and shrug when I see a junker. Someone didn't give their car TLC.

also gives a reason to level Mechanics and use the Vehicle Repair Overhaul mods n such

[frank lintel]

well at a wreck scene I can totally get why... makes sense there an accident

maybe just mod the wreck generator stuff to add more dmg to just them... hmmm

[glass basalt]

it'd be a good server-side mod for more finely controlling vehicle condition, outside of the sandbox options

and maybe other vehicle parameters, while we're at it

[ancient grail]

Using debug from host instance . Reload lua file
What will happen to client?

[frank lintel]

I love it when a car says 'oh you need a key to take this (x) off this'

[ancient grail]

Thats connected

[bronze yoke]

nothing

[ancient grail]

Exactly

@wheat kraken ☝️

[bronze yoke]

it's still useful

[ancient grail]

Yep depends on the scenario iguess

What if you intall community api or aud

[bronze yoke]

you obviously need to reload files on the server if you want them to be reloaded on the server 😅

[ancient grail]

So that client has the ability to reload lua too

That might work

Theoretically it should but i doubt it wont cause problems. Its better to just restart

[frank lintel]

no global event in like shared that lets you reload a mod?

[glass basalt]

I only know of an event that triggers on the reloading of lua

[wheat kraken]

dude, im falling in love with the great feedbacks on fire trail mod comments, such a great community

[frank lintel]

oh the fire trail I can believe it

[glass basalt]

tbh I REALLY want to disable it when I change my modlist. it's so annoying that it freezes my whole game

[bronze yoke]

it's better to reconnect for clients because it's fast

for server i would recommend reloading files because server takes ages to start up

but that depends if your code is safe to run twice

[frank lintel]

^

[wheat kraken]

and i never see this grow rate in my mods xD
the community are beating records over here

[bronze yoke]

personally i would test as much as i can in singleplayer since it's so much faster, and then just make sure everything behaves the same in multiplayer

though that's not really an option for newer modders since they don't tend to know how to write for multiplayer in the first place, and obviously you can't test that specific stuff in singleplayer

[glass basalt]

you came up with a good idea, I had a similar reception with making the pocket TVs 😄

[calm depot]

what mod is it?

[frank lintel]

that just works in the movies... as you reviewing a fiction.

[glass basalt]

This mod, currently on front page
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940908294

[plucky dirge]

may I know how can one achieve that using the console in debug mode?

[calm depot]

neat, but what's going on with the framerate in the demo video

[drifting ore]

hahaha

[glass basalt]

hmmmmmm to be honest I haven't a clue. IsoPlayer needs a lot of stuff, you probably want IsoSurvivor

[wheat kraken]

my pc is shit

[drifting ore]

i totally said the same

the fact that you made this still amazes me haha kudos

[wheat kraken]

please remake a good one and send me the youtube link

and fix this

[glass basalt]

try it on your dedicated server

[drifting ore]

nothing really helps the whole no video card thing lol

[wheat kraken]

i think many people thinks that, but in reality the fps are amaziling optimized in code, (edited, an i5 cpu 👇)

[drifting ore]

even with no videwo card they have 8gb ram and what kinda cpu?

i know vid card isnt big for pz

i love that you tackled this mod with that computer

it's something poetic about it lol

[glass basalt]

alright, once I start playing PZ again, I will record a video for you 💪

[frank lintel]

I just started updating OBS :P

[wheat kraken]

i think i will use the tiktok one that i did

the edits mask it i think

[frank lintel]

I'll go live on twitch maybe

[wheat kraken]

https://www.tiktok.com/@reifel1/video/7206001289136721158

[glass basalt]

oho the editing's not bad

[wheat kraken]

tell me if got better masked the shit fps, until panopticon dont send me a new one, i can use this new one

[glass basalt]

ok 👌

I think I will try making a story out of it (player walks out of a house, pouring gasoline like in GTA V)

[frank lintel]

oh If i can get my stream decent this will be in some nice surround sound and ultrawide

heh lets see...

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1754239832

ofc murphys law had to make it rain when I decided to try this

[wheat kraken]

xD its adds more dramatic aesthetics

[frank lintel]

yeah didnt even lag with rain and all the crap I got open atm including obs etc

[ancient grail]

Wow you review mods?

[wheat kraken]

im telling you, the fps optimization on this, are in masterpiece state, i use some of arsenal knowledge of data structures, process schedule and stuff, that i got/learn from in my Computer science uni, i got luck that where i live the federal uni are reference in the country in tech, on #10 at least, i really enjoy there, but is hard, and im near to finish it (in my country, the public universities are better than private ones, but we need to pass the admitional exams)

[frank lintel]

well they just happened to need a vid maybe so just did it

thats 3440x1440 ultrawide btw

just gotta downscale vid cuz twitch upload bandwidth cap

tbh prob shoulda just not talked...

[glass basalt]

Reifel, are you able to attach Twitch videos to mod pages? i haven't looked

[frank lintel]

take me like 5min to have it on yt just gotta export

[glass basalt]

ah gotcha gotcha

[frank lintel]

https://youtu.be/LI4x1sgjxgo just takes a bit to get all the full resolutions avail

[wheat kraken]

and im looking for some people stress this

to i find bottle necks

and to check if the 30 fps protection that i did are working

[glass basalt]

the bottleneck will come from PZ itself, not the mod

[wheat kraken]

xDDD

[frank lintel]

its 3am now so I need to crash or I would turn on infinite source and lay out a massive trail

[glass basalt]

because lots of fire is FPS heavy

[wheat kraken]

i did a way that when the user have less then 30fps, it dont process hard stuff, like chain reaction that he not did (limit to process only their own trail, that cost nothing)

i want to check if it is really working

[frank lintel]

if ya around in 6..7 hrs and see me bring it up could try before work or later tomorrow night

[wheat kraken]

ok! i will pm you to I remember

while pouring: you can confirm once and release, and doesnt need to aiming specific tiles, the walking controls defines where it will pours

[frank lintel]

that was literally my first try doing it Im just glad it worked right and I didnt burn lol

[wheat kraken]

thaanks btw

it was amazing

xDDD

[frank lintel]

np and okay bed I got work laterz all

[wheat kraken]

"I didnt burn lol" me too

the safety that im using is char last square

and is to get a chance to get burn if something or someone ignites it while you are pouring, but i this its is a minimal chance, or none, i dont know dont test it deeply, and dont have many code about it

or at least the emotional state that accidents can happens while doing xD the tension and suspence

[frank lintel]

my computer just exploded from that cuz I didnt close obs and scared the F outta me

[wheat kraken]

lmao

the streamoverlay

follow alert?

[frank lintel]

yep

[wheat kraken]

HAHAHAHA

a strange thing happend

it loads the server, but didnt load the client firetrail
client/firetrail.lua
when im admin, on mp, i only load the server? not the client?

[bronze yoke]

clients load the server folder unless you have code to stop it

[wheat kraken]

but i have a file missing in the image

the client/firetrail.lua that is core, it doesnt appears, not loaded

nvm

it was my mistake

and im blaming my unknown knowledge about mp

[glass basalt]

usually both client and server need the mod

[wheat kraken]

ops my bad

[wheat kraken]

im getting progress, the error changes, its not The StartFire function was called on Client."

now are about square update

[tawny elk]

Hello, is it possible for me to code a mod which allows players to take items out of container bags in vehicles, without having to equip them first?

[wheat kraken]

i thinks its is ["squareServer"] this notation missing

[fast galleon]

that's what the auto loot already does

[wheat kraken]

do you have experience in mp mods?

[fast galleon]

for fire? I did make something before.

[wheat kraken]

im solving my first bug mp related, its is about spawn fire on map

im using this
IsoFireManager.StartFire(square:getCell(), square, true, 100, randDurationFireEnergy[ZombRand(3)+1]);

to spawn just needing a square

but the problem is, when mp, the server needs to do it

so my mp compatibility looks like this:
client

[fast galleon]

you should start the fires on server if you're not done in 12h I could maybe take a look at the code

[wheat kraken]

server

[fast galleon]

you're on the right track, send coordinates in x,y,z

[tawny elk]

Well, yes but actually no. Thank you.

[wheat kraken]

get cell didnt works right

thanks! for the feedback

[fast galleon]

What's the difference? Is it specific to vehicles? If it is change the options in settings.

[wheat kraken]

oooh i found this interesting

local x = args.x
local y = args.y
local z = args.z

local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)

there is a reason to square:getCell() dont works? (error for getCell of non table)

[fast galleon]

probably the square was nil

[wheat kraken]

when you mention x y z you were talking about this?

[fast galleon]

yes, when you send the command add the coords of the square
getX...

[wheat kraken]

can you refer a link to your fire mp mod? if you allow me learn from it, and if i want to use something asking to you?

im getting some experience with fire with mp now, starting from 0

[fast galleon]

I think it doesn't have anything you didn't already make.

[wheat kraken]

{["squareServer"]= square, ["square_x"]= square:getX(),["square_y"]= square:getY(),["square_z"]= square:getZ(),["square_cell"]= square:getCell()})

can i just use square_cell instead using coords?

and if i use IsoFireManager.StartFire(x,y,z, square, true, 100, randDurationFireEnergy[ZombRand(3)+1]);
works?

[fast galleon]

you can't send objects, it should be primary types

[wheat kraken]

ooooh

that enlight many things

i can use x y z primary variables, instead use cell?

Hello, I finished creating my texture PNG, but I'm not sure how to use the txt/xml settings for it. What need I do before turning my texture PNG into a PACK file?

[fast galleon]

@wheat kraken if your command only starts fire on a square there's a vanilla command you can use, Commands.object.addFireOnSquare

[wheat kraken]

wooow!

it only needs a square to do it

what a handy! thanks

[fast galleon]

not a square, args.x,...

[wheat kraken]

yeah! appreciate too much for sharing it

these things gotta out of my radar, where can i find them easily

i use this, and a search on lua files in game, and decompiled java too
https://projectzomboid.com/modding/index.html

if i just search fire, i got 283 results

and 2 of it have the command that you mention xD

0.71% chance to find it by myself haha @fast galleon

on only game files, 123 results, so 1.63% chance of find it, with my currently setup

[odd notch]

going to release this sometime soon

[wheat kraken]

woow! are you using some mod to be the npc base? like it is an addon?

I wanted to know if it is possible to create a user control panel (UCP) that can link certain characteristics of the characters of a project zomboid server directly with the ucp to be able to modify their attributes, abilities, etc., without having to be inside of the game. I am aware that it can be done from the admin tools but I also plan to give the UCP another type of use, but the most important thing would be this.

server writes to a json -> web server reads the json for data -> profit

[wheat kraken]

@bronze yoke now i got no errors, client side and server side, but clients didnt see the fire created

i need to send back something? from server to clients, any world update... or so

if some one with mp experience can help me, im solving my first mp mod bug/issue, i have 0 experience in mp mods,

so if you got any it can be really userful

im going against a issue, in mp, on fire trials, that fires needs to be placed by server side

i manage to do that, but now it didnt givers errors and we didnt get fires :(

Anything in the world (tiles, cells) must be server
Anything player (inventory, timed actions) must be client

should i must send a message back from server to client, about world changes? related to fire

[zinc pilot]

send the error

[wheat kraken]

@willow estuary can you help me with mp knowledge, im trying it with 0 experience

#1 got The StartFire function was called on Client, solved, created the server folder, to get sendclientcommands

#2 server needs to triggers fire on squares, done

that is the problem @zinc pilot , there is no more errors, but the fires didnt appears

here

[zinc pilot]

oh I misread, sorry

[wheat kraken]

the code are in this state

there is a possibility to debug with breakpoints server side?

[zinc pilot]

you're using sendClientCommand to let the server start the fire

right?

[zinc pilot]

don't think so

you should check if your commands are getting to the server adding some prints inside the command

before doing anything else imo

[wheat kraken]

oooh

oopsie, my mistake

[zinc pilot]

be sure that the module name is correct

mh?

[wheat kraken]

im tired

insomnia and need to rest

1 sec, i forgot to triggers inside if module scope

it happens

there is no waaay

i cant believe it

i just put fallen down from undertail, to play in loop, to not fall sleep

and when server and clients resets, with the module scope easy fix

puf

now fire a trail of fuel is working on mp

discord ground me, for a long thankfull message, mentioning all amazing guys that show up while i was progressing on this level up skill of mp mods experience

sadly, you will not be able to read the previously, but now have this one:

at the end I remember that i tell you guys that im immensely grateful, and this support and collaboration generates a very good development place,
now without mentioning, just citing,
albion, pao for showing up too, poltergeist panopticon sycholic glytch3r, help me alot to go from 0 experience to be able to solve and make my first mp mod compatibility, now i really got something, is not on 0 anymore, and zomboid community now can desfruit as many mp games they want with this new mechanic, and for sure you guys are part of it, to make it possible on mp

i will post the update with the mp fix on the workshop, last final test, and go to sleep

And pvp maybe

Imagine an event that as soon as the players enters the fire around the arena lits up

[sour island]

Idk if this will clear things up or make it worse but... there are multiple "entities" when a game runs - dependent on the situation.

• To help explain I'll be referring to the session hosting as host (rather than server) and the connecting people as connections (instead of players/clients).
• Client or Server code run independently (shared is the bridging between) but basically hosts only run server code (and shared).
• Connections run both server and client code.
• Sending commands is communicating between connections and hosts -- but also on their respective codes.
• IsClient and IsServer only return true in MP.

I hope I got all that right

Good morning PZ community.

I'm currently working on a Gloves expansion, similar to Boots expanded by Mark IV. And to fulfill that project, I'm in need of a 3D modeler to make 1 or 2 functioning models for the male and female bodies. So far I can only work with textures and manage to make short and simple gloves, but my goal is to make a full set of gloves for each starting occupation, bringing more realism and customization to the game.

DM if you're interested.

Item Searcher (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789003239) is updated!

• Disabled Search Room option while outside
• Added Take Item option
• Overhauled UI to make better use of space
• Container types in speech now translated to friendly names (e.g. clothingwasher -> clothing washer)

Oh, I forgot:

• Added entry and option tooltips to UI

Good morning.

[wheat kraken]

when i test it,a long time ago, because i was looking for similar idea that you had, and i found a glitch that makes my screen blicking black (i think it is because a mismatch with game fps and ui fps, or something like that) when i open the window, i found out that was the render method on

on ItemSearchPanel.lua file

to fix it you need to use these
function ItemSearchPanel:render()
ISCollapsableWindow.render(self)
end
and transfer the code scope to ItemSearchPanel:setSearchTarget

and adds new self.searchForLabel = ISLabel:new on ItemSearchPanel:createChildren()

and never self:drawText on it, because there is a in game vanilla optimization options on menu, about ui fps, that conflicts with this and cause the issue that i was getting

another improvement that i did, was persistent data content on the window, by have an single instance of it, and reusing it,

you did an amazing code with all the items persistent data, and be acessible by display name, and by using Set data structure to do a really great optimization, im near to graduate in my Computer Science mayor, i really enjoy the way you deal with a ton of data, with an optimized approach, it was beatiful and poetic to me read it

i started modding zomboid by fixing these visuals glitches and adding the behaviors that i was looking for

your mod was my first learning mod, my starter point, i made some improvements on it, and extends it with functions i was looking after (search area and search building)

it was my first mod search on workshop, because when i began i didnt know where to find the items that i was wanting

you can check all thoses improvements to incorporate more easily here

Ah nah, I think I jumped the gun and assumed you were someone else:

[wheat kraken]

yeah!

[chrome egret]

but they at least had the same problem, I never heard back from them so didn't know much about it

[wheat kraken]

it was amazing when i got it right, and stops flickering/blinking

[chrome egret]

I think I implemented some or all of your recommendations in the UI overhaul

[wheat kraken]

the render function is a very sensitive spot

[chrome egret]

but I'll have to take a look at yours to confirm

In any case, I'm grateful for your feedback, flattered and humbled to see you used it as a basis for getting into modding yourself, and glad it was helpful!

[chrome egret]

Getting closer 🙂

[wheat kraken]

i like to leave "random" comments in my codes xD and leave it there forever

analysis ones, learning processes, researching, debugging... to i remember later and save my finals conclusions

and hints, or flags on costly parts

the programmers notes

[wheat kraken]

maybe this glitch happens when have this config on, or like this

its a way to get a better overall performance, to reduce visual processing on ui

[chrome egret]

Would it be possible for you to replicate the glitch and send the replication to me somehow? I'd like to know what others are dealing with so I can ensure I fix it properly.

[wheat kraken]

it was terrifying, and really annoying to keep that open,

it was a more intense example, from a episode from stranger things that keeps lights blinking all the time,

i will try to reproduce and send you the video

did you know about this episode that i mentioned?

Also be forewarned that build 41 farming/farming mods will not be compatible with b42 farming.

[sly wedge]

what do you mean by that? do i have to update the mod in order to make it work in b42? or any farming mods wont work in 42 even if its updated?

[jaunty marten]

I hope in b42 farm code will be done easier cos when I'm tried to combine my pipes mod with farm plants it was pain in da ass

[red tiger]

With how huge b42 is, breaking all mods wouldn't be the worst thing and probably be good for a healthy modding API.

(Runs away to survive the mob coming after me for suggesting this)

[frank lintel]

wont hear that from me I experienced this already helping dev a 3rd party server for MC with an API, honestly if one is promoting modding then a api is kinda a must..

the current medical system is basically the beginnings of a medical system

i'm hoping b42 will see an overhaul anyway, since i don't see how a skills rework is going to pan out if they don't make first aid worthwhile at all, but i don't think anything has ever been mentioned about it specifically

[wheat kraken]

@tame mulch about it, i read one day that @heady crystal are looking for that better mod api support, specially on vehicles, i think it is an oportunity to bring the sparkles of joy ✨ about it back

and feel better with a great rework, expanded api, and enhancement

and think it can generate a constructive output

sometimes i got a bit sad, about some great devs mods with some kind desmotivation with the current mod supports limitations that can even have the possibility to bring him down about it

i really admire the bravens masterpieces, i got worry about him, to brings back enjoyment about mods on him

really i cant find anyoption to add sound while using crafting menu and do recipe.

i beg for help

[modern hamlet]

I know very little but adding this "Sound:PutItemInBag," to recipe helps me

[spring zephyr]

but i want to use my custome sound

[modern hamlet]

put your custom sound inside the sound folder and type its name to recipe

@fast galleon and @ancient grail - I just want to say thank you so much for all the patience and help you've been giving me. I've gotten the custom container working in the game and placing properly with a proper name.

Only thing I have left to do is wrap my head around the script to make sure it only accepts specific items. But thank you so much

Is it possible to change the crafting time you need for a recipe depending on proffesion?

I'd really prefer not to have to use a context menu - and I'd like 'move to xyz to tp to another xyz'

got it working sort of

seems to be an issue with moving afterall

took out the timed action

moved the teleporting to mousedown

Goodnight
Is there a place that has a list of all the body locations the clothes can cover?

Example:
I want my t-shirt to only cover the top of my arms and hands. How do I do it?

#mod_development message

you can check vanilla file clothing_shirts.txt to see what they use

Had to add to a list in playermove and have a function in ontick parse through the list

[frank lintel]

chuck you using fastteleportmove?
