that does seem like an inconsistency - i came across some old code implying fit did only give level 6 at some point, so that's probably why

most likely they made the trait stronger at some point to make it more worthwhile (one level of fitness really isn't much) and forgot to/chose not to alter the level you earn it at

[wide oar]

question

how would you make a object seen as solid

because rn i have a placable piece of furniture that i just walk through

[tawdry solar]

i got my mod working

[small topaz]

probably the reason. they updated the fitness trait which can be chosen during character creation but forgot to change the trait which can be acquired while playing the game...

[warm flame]

Oh nice, i thought that the alternative mod had the same issue, ill have to check it out, thanks

[abstract raptor]

tryna place a tile with code but I'm noticing it doesn't have collision properties

[keen silo]

Hello, Im new to PZ mod development, and I want to try out a project to add voice overs to several if not all radio and tv programs using ElevenLabs (I'll start with some by hand, but I will try to automate the process using their API).

As far as I know, I believe I will have to create a sounds file like

sounds_voiceOvers.txt

where I add sounds items with the format

sound {text_id} { category = VoiceOver, clip { file = media/sound/VoiceOver/{text_id}.ogg, distanceMax = 20, } }

Now comes the hard part. I need a way to make every audio play whenever they are displayed on the game, acording to their ID.

Looking at the pzwiki Lua Events/OnDeviceText (https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/OnDeviceText) seems to be what I need. However, I don't fully understand how this event works, and how to make the appropiate sound be played when they happen. Does anybody know what interactCodes mean? is it like an id for the Lines?

I know there will be a miriad of problems, that I will look into after having an initial workable solution for this (like audios still playing after changing channels, Volume afecting the sound distanceMax, etc.). I just want to know of a way to know which line is being shown, with which id, and how to call a sound event.

Does anybody have any experience in this regard and could give me a hand with this ?

[abstract raptor]

RadioBroadcastlines have GUID's, and it is all read from the RadioData.XML . I was able to add voice acting to the radio by using a combintation of using deprecated broadcast effects (in my case drunkeness tags, which I created a table to have every file associated with a number) and duration tags to synch the audio. You will inevitably have problems syncing the audio to the text, because the text dissapears based on how long the text line is, hence why duration tags are neccesary for voicing the media.

[bronze yoke]

the wiki is outdated, there's now an additional argument passed which is the line's guid

[keen silo]

for instance, the GUID of this line:

<LineEntry ID="b0ee632b-789e-4e4f-a2b0-b09374856a62" r="255" g="192" b="0">Where in the Pizza Whirled are we today?</LineEntry>

would be b0ee632b-789e-4e4f-a2b0-b09374856a62 ?

[abstract raptor]

Yep. That's right.

[keen silo]

thanks 😀

[abstract raptor]

I'm sure you can get it working off of that alone, but like I said, you're going to run into an issue with timing unless you add duration codes to every line ha

Additionally you will probably go insane writing scripts for each indivual sound file

[keen silo]

I'll try to automate using their api. Luckily it's free for the first 10000 character each motn

month*

[abstract raptor]

You're gonna need a lot more characters than that! I pay for eleven labs and even I wouldn't want to try to voice the entire radio/tv broadcasts.

[keen silo]

or a lot of time

I obviously would start with the most popular programs like woodcraft and improve from there

[abstract raptor]

Yeah, if you want to see how I've done it here are some links;

https://youtu.be/q7qnejz0I1Y

https://youtu.be/35XBR9GlxpY

you can check out Survivor Radio to see the code I utilized as well; but if you want to easily edit the radiodata, you'll need WordZed

[frank lintel]

reads on the diff of . vs : in Lua and sighs...

[keen silo]

Is there a way to modify the time the text is shown acording to the clip size? instead of increasing or deacreasing the audio speed itself

[frank lintel]

isnt that just done in the text stuff adds in delays and display times etc

[bronze yoke]

that's what they mean

[frank lintel]

nvm just realized that was reading it other way... sorry dang lua manual making my eyes swim lol

[abstract raptor]

at the start of a broadcast line you will have to add ${t:5.00} you cannot exceed 5 seconds or it will display static.

[keen silo]

which is the best up to date LUA manual for this?

[abstract raptor]

t can be set to any time between 0:00 and 5:00

[keen silo]

Hey, I was wondering. Could I use your LUA code as a base for my project? I believe that most problems I would encounter were already solved. probably all I would have to do is modify this line of the LUA

for _,_v in ipairs(codes) do
if _v:len() > 4 then
local code = string.sub(_v, 1, 3)
local op = string.sub(_v, 4, 4)
local amount = tonumber(string.sub(_v, 5, _v:len()))
if op=="-" then
amount = -amount
end
if amount ~= nil and amount > 0 and code=="DRU" then
RadioWavs.PlaySound(amount, radio)
end
end
end

To allow the use of normal lines instead of your custom ones, and modify the RadioWavs.files to my custom wav files so I can make it reproduce the audios generated by ElevenLabs

[abstract raptor]

sure, just make sure to credit me

[keen silo]

Thank you very much.

How can I overwrite radio lines?

for instance, I want to specifically modify this line from RadioData.xml:

<LineEntry ID="d363f154-086a-44c8-bf79-db09bfa3299c" r="0" g="176" b="80">Y'all are watching Woodcraft!</LineEntry>

to

<LineEntry ID="d363f154-086a-44c8-bf79-db09bfa3299c" r="0" g="176" b="80" codes="WDC-1">${t:3.66}Y'all are watching Woodcraft!</LineEntry>

to add codes as you used in your mod, and time tags defined by the clip size.

Do I just add a file in media/radio called RadioData.xml with just that entry? or do I have to copy the entire RadioData.xml and specifically modify that line for the changes to take effect without breaking everything else ?

[abstract raptor]

You could ammend the XML directly or you could use Wordzed to open up the radiodata file; Word to the wise, the RadioData.XML cannot currently be replaced in the steam workshop so people would have to take your file and add it to their game.

(unless they fixed that. I've been asking but I'm not sure if they ever did it)

(as far as I'm aware, you cannot replace the radiodata.xml file)

[keen silo]

so essentialy, there would be no way to make an easy one click install mod, because I cannot overwrite the radiodata.xml file

[abstract raptor]

well I'm not sure if it's still like that

last i checked was a while back

[keen silo]

where can I ask if this changed?

[abstract raptor]

Not sure.

You can try it, maybe they changed it. But last time I tried to replace the radiodata.xml in the radio folder it didn't do anything

[keen silo]

should I try to copy the entire radiodata.xml and change a few lines, or just change the specific lines with specific IDs?

worst case scenario, I just have to tell people to copy and paste one file in their folders anyway, but I know the beauty of plug and play 😛

[abstract raptor]

whatever works ha

wish you luck

[old crescent]

hello need help.. does changing the charcter respawn time posible?

[keen silo]

alright. If I understood correctly, What I need to do is the following:

Add a code DRU+number to all the lines that I want to add voice to
Make one large AudioFile with the entire episode programing (Will be difficult since I will have to implement multiple voices for certain programs, and I dont want to have to splice together separate files)
Adjust text times to audio speed accordingly

Once this works manually, find a way to automate the process using the API

[jaunty marten]

u can just edit RecMedia exactly in lua cos in made fully on lua side and adding exp happens on lua side too

[bronze yoke]

radio doesn't go through recmedia

[jaunty marten]

ah, I missed that part, my bad

[worn juniper]

the -- comment was the issue

[rustic garnet]

Any resource when it comes to Localization? So I can support my mod in multiple languages?

[glass basalt]

you copy the file structure the game uses. as for a step-by-step guide, there isn't really one, you learn by example

[frank elbow]

The modding wiki (see pins) has a small section on localization, but it's just about encoding

One of the guides on GitHub probably has a section on them too, dunno

[glass basalt]

generally it is just media\lua\shared\Translate\Language\the text files

[fast galleon]

translations means don't use literal strings in your code when it comes to things the player will see.
https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/tree/master/translations
this is a good guide, though I don't agree with everything, maybe it's based on older version

[glass basalt]

it is quite old yeah

[fast galleon]

ok, if you have more links I might try to merge them a to wiki page

As soon as I debug what's wrong with climbing

[glass basalt]

hmm, the wiki page could just be a list of examples of what strings could be translated per category

like, I barely see any mods that use IGUI_CraftCategory

would be neat to know that there is an option for that in IGUI

[fast galleon]

yeah, there's maps for the translations but like scripts they don't all follow the same rules.

[glass basalt]

does anyone know how to force the player to drop a particular item?

or does the game delete and duplicate items in the game world whenever a player clicks to "drop"?

[buoyant osprey]

How do I start on making a new location for the base game map (i.e not making a whole new map but just changing a cell)

[glass basalt]

find which cell you want to change, and look at a map mod that sounds something similar to get the file structure

[ancient grail]

look for heavy

i think theres something like that

when its too heavy it gets drop

just get the function it triggers

[glass basalt]

hmmm okay

dropHeavyItems() is a Java method, and I don't have the decompiled class files 😔

i am gonna try using the unequip timed action, I just need the parachute to be taken off immediately to not look goofy

[frank lintel]

I just love how steam decided after I just restarted it, oh you need to update steam... MF I just had you running and a restart was needed for you to tell me this? Denied....

[glass basalt]

Any ideas on how to improve this?

[frank lintel]

tbh kinda lost... improve what? its not obvious to me atleast.

[hot patrol]

could someone help me out with something. I want to make a repair recipe that requires a needle and thread to fix the item without consuming the needle. I tried this ```fixing Fix Dakimakura
{
Require : Dakimakura1,
Require : Needle,

   Fixer : Thread=2; Tailoring=2,
   
}``` but it didn't work. What would be the right way to do it if it's even possible?

[cyan juniper]

if you mean the visuals and what not, having the parachute fold down before disappearing would help it look more realistic

[glass basalt]

just anything, idk

[cyan juniper]

It looks awesome as it is, don't stress it

[frank lintel]

looked pretty good to me for an infil

[glass basalt]

that would be hard as shit to animate

[cyan juniper]

Just throwing it out there, I have little experience with that myself

[glass basalt]

i think my only gripe is that the item itself is goofy and I'm not experienced enough to make it more refined

[tame mulch]

Looks cool!

[cyan juniper]

It looks really great yeah

[frank lintel]

maybe someway to make the viewing area a 360 exposure not only 'POV' cuz you are dropping in from high above.

[glass basalt]

lol thanks Aiteron

[frank lintel]

but honestly looks good to me.

[glass basalt]

well, thank you for the positive feedback, I feel that I can release this mod now

[cyan juniper]

that doesn't sound possible in a 2d isometric engine, atleast without lots of time and custom coding

[glass basalt]

he means showing the area around the player instead of the cone

[frank lintel]

^

[glass basalt]

it's possible but idk how

[cyan juniper]

Ah my bad

at that height I don't think you'd see 360 degrees anyway

[tame mulch]

Try this:

    fixing Fix Dakimakura
    {
       Require : Dakimakura1;Needle,
       
       Fixer : Thread=2; Tailoring=2,
    }

[tame mulch]

And maybe need Module name for item

[hot patrol]

I tried this but didn't get the repair option. What do you mean by module name? like "base.Dakimakura1"?

[tame mulch]

Yep. Maybe your item not in Base module

[hot patrol]

it is

but I will try that

[tame mulch]

Send me your mod. I will look

[chrome egret]

@tame mulch while you're here, how can I get trace logs appearing in my files?

(running a dedicated server, so presuming the info would appear in server-console.txt if enabled)

[tame mulch]

Hmmm. I think You can't get this logs

[chrome egret]

Damn. I'm adding an inventory transfer action when the requested item is found at the end of a search. Works beautifully in singleplayer, but in MP it appears the state gets changed to accepted (2) and then rejected (1) shortly thereafter:

Example logs for ItemTransactionManager.receiveOnClient:
                            2[1817133102: -1 => -1]
                            1[1817133102: -1 => -1]

Any thoughts on debugging that?

[red tiger]

Good morning.

Good morning, Jab

[uncut garnet]

Hi people, I was wondering if I could commission someone to make me a mod. id like a London double-decker bus. has to be compatible with RV Interiors. was hoping to get a quote, or someone to point me towards where one is already made, but i cant find 🙂

[red tiger]

I don't know if he's open for comms but @faint jewel would be who I'd go to for vehicles.

[glass basalt]

I just uploaded a mod and Steam is giving me this BS

AHA, right when I complained about it, it started working all of a sudden

the universe works in mysterious, sadistic ways 😏

[frank lintel]

steam prob getting DDOS'd again

[halcyon robin]

Hi everybody. Sorry, I don't know English, so I use a translator. Please tell me who can help me? I would like to make changes to the game, but I do not know how. Create a mod.

[ancient grail]

https://imgur.com/a/pEhx3eR

[glass basalt]

what kind of mod do you want to make?

[halcyon robin]

@glass basalt map, location, houses, fortresses, castles and buildings of survival in the forest. I'm sorry if there are any spelling mistakes.

[glass basalt]

there are no spelling mistakes

Choose one mod to start

[halcyon robin]

@glass basalt Choose one mod-to get started? I'm sorry, I don't understand.

[warped valve]

Anyone know how to get just the door in OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu? Right now I've got it to where it's selecting both the door and the tile the door is on, so I'm getting two context menus to appear where I only want one

[hot patrol]

could someone exlpain to me what this does? I am tring to replicate the opening and closing of the umbrella for one of my own items

OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.OpenUmbrella,

[glass basalt]

sorry, choose one thing to start with
you have many things that you want to do and they all are made differently

[glass basalt]

i think that is referring to the context menu option of when you choose to "Open Umbrella", to which it points to the recipe "Open Umbrella", that replaces the umbrella item with its open variant

[halcyon robin]

@glass basalt good.. the place where the house stands

Isn't that the most basic thing?

[fast galleon]

is there an accepted global subtable to add modules, so it's both global and not global. example use: API that can be included in several mods.

_G.notG or .API or .__modTables _G["$ _ G"]
_G["𝅘𝅥𝅮"]

[glass basalt]

maps have the most work to do, but they are a simple concept

go to #mapping , people there know how to make houses

[glass basalt]

modules like module Base, or a different kind of module

[fast galleon]

_G is lua side, base is for scripts

generally a module in lua is when you make a local table and return that table in the end so another file can require your file and get that table

[frank elbow]

I think it's acceptable to just declare a single global if its name is unique enough (that is, you could declare the global and return it from the module, so it can be used both ways)

I also think _G.notG is cursed

[frank lintel]

it uses index[-1] cuz it wants to be different

[fast galleon]

_G["$ _ G"] lol

[frank lintel]

too bad not as simple as _G.!G

[frank elbow]

It would be nice if there were an officially supported way to declare & get APIs. That is, besides just declaring globals

[frank lintel]

you just make it

[frank elbow]

Mhm, I'm saying if there were utilities provided by the game for it

Then there wouldn't be any question abt conventions

[frank lintel]

isnt repeating themselves...

[fast galleon]

Somebody just needs to set a decent standard, with version included or something.

[frank lintel]

thats the point ya basically gotta make one

[frank elbow]

Yeah, thus "it would be nice"

[frank lintel]

only saying this because thats literally how/what happed in MC

MC provided nothing to the community in that sense it was purely made by us.

[frank elbow]

Something something xkcd competing standards (surely this doesn't count as a meme: https://xkcd.com/927)

[hot patrol]

Do you know how I would make my own?

[frank lintel]

I'd rather just not flat out see bla[0] = nil in a .lua file... ftlogp...

[glass basalt]

oof, im not sure where to start. try explaining what it is you want to do

Made a mod that animates parachuting at the start of the game
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2948659911

[hot patrol]

I pretty much want to do exactly what opening the umbrella does. Right click weapon hit context option and get other variation of that item

[glass basalt]

ill take a look at the umbrella item

[hot patrol]

I already did. everything in my mod seems to match up. I imagine that oncreate is a lua thing but idk where it is located so I can rplicate it

[glass basalt]

@hot patrol

function Recipe.OnCreate.OpenUmbrella(items, result, player, umbrella, firstHand, secondHand)
    result:setCondition(umbrella:getCondition());
    if secondHand then
        player:setSecondaryHandItem(result);
    elseif firstHand and not secondHand then
        player:setPrimaryHandItem(result);
    end
end

[hot patrol]

Perfect

thank you

[glass basalt]

👍

i don't get this code though. you are setting the condition that the umbrella already has

unless result and umbrella are different

[red tiger]

I'm surprised that result in recipe scripts has a :.

Would make sense to have all directly-related settings for the actual recipe be without :..

[glass basalt]

result is probably an InventoryItem

[ancient grail]

Yes

[red tiger]

It's syntactically inconsistent.

[ancient grail]

Its not

[red tiger]

Also giving me headaches atm

[glass basalt]

Recipe.OnCreate.CloseUmbrella is almost the same

[ancient grail]

Its an inventoryItem
Thats has bunch of stuff
Like
getBloodLevel()

[hot patrol]

I figured as much

[ancient grail]

result:getName()

[glass basalt]

function Recipe.OnCreate.CloseUmbrella(items, result, player, umbrella, firstHand, secondHand)
    result:setCondition(umbrella:getCondition());
    if secondHand or firstHand then
        if not player:getPrimaryHandItem() then
            player:setPrimaryHandItem(result);
        end
        player:setSecondaryHandItem(result);
    end
end

the if statement is different though

[hot patrol]

thanks again

[red tiger]

You don't know what I'm saying which is fine.

[ancient grail]

I dont what your saying all the time man

You are a wizard from other dimension i speak few anguages you can speak all

[red tiger]

I'm saying that the syntax would make sense to use is result ..., and not result: ...,

[frank elbow]

Written by different people I assume, I thought that was odd too

[glass basalt]

but the function is lua? would result ... not do anything

[ancient grail]

Ye

[red tiger]

I'm currently in the "Picking the syntax apart" stages.

[red tiger]

Yeah. No other way.

My syntax highlighter has to be written using 100% regex so less syntactic logic the worse.

It'll be better to leave it this way for now. It highlights the issue I'm talking about.

This is what I'm saying would make more sense.

Might as well be a reserved keyword like the other two.

[frank elbow]

How'd you end up dealing with the file extension hurdle, by the way? Will it attempt to parse all .txt files? Stop after it doesn't seem to match?

[red tiger]

I manually set the language for the file and am inferring *.zed as the extension.

[frank elbow]

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense

[red tiger]

Going to make it the extension for ZedScript until TIS says otherwise.

I think recipes and one other category has some funny syntax stuff going on so after that my syntax highlighter should be most-of-the-way completed.

Everything else is pretty much an object->key->value.

[old crescent]

is it possible to add player respawn time ?

[sour island]

Possible yes, you can create a system to delay re-spawning based on steamID. Now if you want this to have a timer and changes to UI to make it clear to players, that's more work.

[frank lintel]

dangit knew I shoulda saved what file that I seen... isnt steamID depreciated?

[bronze yoke]

no?

[sour island]

I hope not

Printing it to text can cause issues with printing it

[old crescent]

does the script already exist ?

[sour island]

I recall someone having issues with it hitting scientific notation and even when getting it to print the last few numbers changed (?)

[frank lintel]

I thought it was odd too as I was looking into Superb possible going MP and I was like ah f...

gimme a min Im looking now think it was in core

[sour island]

I dont think you can get SS to work in MP...

🤔 Maybe if you could get the host machine (dedicated or not) to use it's co-op slots?

[frank lintel]

I was thinking headless client more like... ^_^

[sour island]

NPCs are scrapping by as is, I don't think you'd be able to get it to work in MP without alot of time and effort

[frank lintel]

oh I know

[sour island]

Not one to scoff at a challenge, but that is a lot of time one could devote to another project that's more feasible lol

[frank lintel]

if anything likely have to look at a whole different way of how its done atm its just ugh...

[sour island]

I think SS took a dive in stability when chunks were introduced?

prior to this I think having the entire map loaded everything kind of worked fine - or was it related to how MP worked

either-way, I think there's a big issue of NPCs unloading and being in limbo

[frank lintel]

yeah this just thinking ahead as Im trying to wrap my head around lua<>java nonsense thats going on in there

[sour island]

From what I saw the code is fine, aside from alot of the prints

[frank lintel]

yeah index 0 in a lua file ever is good how?

[sour island]

there's index 0 in SS?

Also, didn't someone post an alternative to onSquare Loading that loads chunks? Perhaps Nolan if he's still back can make use of that

[red tiger]

I don't know why TIS didn't simply make a modified arraylist object with a index offset of 1.

[frank lintel]

perfect eg. bla[0] = nil

java okay, lua file that makes no sense to me

[red tiger]

When you do that the table index and array metadata will stop working.

That's what I remember dealing with back in my main Lua days.

[bronze yoke]

i wish we could just access java objects with lua syntax like the barotrauma lua mod does (for c#, obviously)

it seems like i spend more time writing java in lua than writing lua

I'd rather see wrapper objects with methods that works with expected Lua arguments as it's more practical in the short-term.

That and pre-typed generic lists and dictionaries for primitive values.

(A big opportunity for TIS to prune a lot of wasteful variable assignments in Lua code with memory)

Like

public class BooleanArrayList extends ArrayList<Boolean> {}
public class ByteArrayList extends ArrayList<Byte> {}

[sour island]

You can .new java objects in Lua

[red tiger]

True. You can.

I don't think that you can pass type logic though.

[sour island]

Be the change you want to see 🎉

[red tiger]

And now you know my past ten years in PZ.

:D

[frank lintel]

okay sorry if Im stupid on this. but here's some code.

    if(not t) then return false end
    if(t[0] or t[1]) then return true
    else return false end
  local i = 0
  for _ in pairs(t) do
      i = i + 1
      if t[i] == nil then return false end
  end
  return true
end```

[bronze yoke]

some way to pass null as a type would be nice (not sure exactly what language is used for that in java)

i was imitating some java that passed a null isoobject, but you can't do that in lua, so it would randomly choose which overload to call if i passed nil

[frank lintel]

yeah like index[0] does not exist at all in lua correct?

[red tiger]

It can. The issue is that you are turning an array into a dictionary.

[sour island]

you can check if the variable is an array using type() afaik

[frank elbow]

There's a way to grab null, but I forgot what it is

[tawdry solar]

can anyone help me with this?

[frank elbow]

That is, a distinct not nil null. Dunno whether it's unique, but something returns that instead of nil as userdata

[frank lintel]

chuck just rewrite it if there something better.

[sour island]

What is this exactly trying to do?

[frank lintel]

nothing that is example code I did not write... aka SS.

[bronze yoke]

in the end it turned out the area of code had a lot of redundancy so i used a different method that didn't have that ambiguity, but it seems like a future issue

[sour island]

I never saw this in SS before - but there was that guy that worked on it in Nolan's absence, and upon his return Nolan kind of just took it all in at face value

[bronze yoke]

i'd need (IsoObject)null, not just null null

[frank elbow]

Ah, gotcha

[bronze yoke]

i'm not sure if this is just an unsolvable issue in kahlua

[frank lintel]

0_Utilities/SuperSurvivorUtilities.lua line 216...

[sour island]

The devs would have to add alternative methods with unique names

[true vault]

Is there a way to have the game send a string to a webhook? Text-only ofc at the moment.

I know base Lua can do so..

[red tiger]

Would TIS be willing to try to make a rewrite of Kahlua?

Would they even want to?

[frank elbow]

Maybe some sort of cast function that creates a null userdata with the metatable of the relevant class?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, it was with the sound player, but luckily that code has been rewritten enough times that most of the methods don't actually do what they say they do

[sour island]

That'd be more manageable

[frank lintel]

why Im lost cuz lua manual says index start on 1 thats it end of game... not sure how trying to yank 0 isnt erroring out. (remember lua noob here)

[sour island]

it's called is_array -- whatever is getting passed in might not be a lua table

[true vault]

Well, because they're tables, and you can assign an index number, even negatives IIRC, when creating the table..

[frank elbow]

Lua tables are not arrays and their keys can be anything other than nil

[frank lintel]

if I was in a java compile I wouldnt be worried....

[bronze yoke]

you can use whatever you want as a key in a table, but it's not a good idea

[sour island]

also could just do return type(t)=="array"

[frank elbow]

'table'

[sour island]

depends if they want an array or not

[true vault]

With Lua, basically everything is just a table, in some form lolz

[sour island]

referring to Lua tables as arrays is an issue too

[frank elbow]

type should never return 'array'

[bronze yoke]

instanceof(obj, "ArrayList") would be better for that use

nevermind, i was misunderstanding the purpose

[frank elbow]

The unreachable loop in the code up there is trying to check that it's a table with exclusively integer keys starting at 0*. It does so in a strange way

Presumably, at some point whoever wrote it decided checking for 0 or 1 was enough

[sour island]

If it's trying to find that it could abuse #table

Would make sense it's checking pairs() to confirm it's (not?) empty I guess

[frank elbow]

#table + 1 if there's 0 would certainly be simpler, idk why you'd really need a strict array check

[bronze yoke]

the way pairs and i are used there makes me think whoever wrote this probably doesn't know lua very well

[frank lintel]

well I got my answer thanks... its bad..

[frank elbow]

I don't think so (but I'm happy to be proven wrong). If you set up a web server you could treat it as a proxy by leveraging getUrlInputStream, but I've no idea other than that

[sour island]

Looked it up - that is part of the new quest system

which is why I haven't seen it

[frank lintel]

and I appreciate all the feedback just trying to make sure Im not picking up bad practice thats all

check out 3_Other/SuperSurvivorManager.lua

like Im reading init() and just going ummm... brain explosion

and IJ just crying at it also so Im like okay 'should I not be trying to learn this way...' or what ie. ignore it...

[sour island]

I wouldn't try to learn from one source if you're using other's mods

Yeah looking at init --- you can use 0 as a key

[frank lintel]

just trying to ingrain syntax etc specific for lua cuz honestly the manuals Ive found suck arse for example.

[sour island]

but I don't know if that gets treated as a standard table or a keyed table

[frank lintel]

dunno either guess thats why IJ warning over it?

[sour island]

it is read as a keyed table

[merry plover]

Does anyone know the spawn ID for this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2907683021&searchtext=insurgent

I just need the spawn ID for the insurgent clothing

[sour island]

Now that's interesting

Usually keyed tables don't produce a consistent order using pairs

[frank lintel]

oh boy...

[sour island]

also ipairs(t) ignores [0]

[frank elbow]

I'm more concerned by the #table resulting in 0 for that

OH

[sour island]

that's cause keyed tables can't be sized

[frank elbow]

It's because it's t, not table

[sour island]

oh

oops

so it is counted as a numeric table

and [0] is just like optional?

[frank elbow]

Lua tables are mixed; all of the functions that deal with tables are just 1-indexed by convention

If you really wanted to get wild you could even use the __len metamethod to have #table count 0*

[sour island]

I think it's neat [0] is ignored using ipairs() -- although I don't know what use that'd have

I wonder

[frank lintel]

could a value of nil do anything?

[frank lintel]

wut...

[sour island]

#t can't reach negatives or 0

could store some values safely this way

but you could also just use another table

[frank lintel]

okay is there something that instantly index the start or end of anything? as like some languages have...

[sour island]

Lua by default indexes at 1

But you can also index is as whatever you want

you can even index it as java exposed objects or other tables

the behavior above is basically hybriding numerically ordered keys (the default is no keys are provided) and non-numeric keys, these just happen to be numeric and in order

[frank lintel]

okay so like with your code t[-2] = nil just flat out removes it or is it nil? like add that on the end after t[4] how would it behave?

[red tiger]

Lol. Thought I was through the thick of it with highlighting buuuuuttt

More bug fun. :D

[tawdry solar]

i need help with my mod

[frank elbow]

Can you be more specific?

[red tiger]

Current look and feel.

:D

This is what I have so far.

[atomic trout]

Im currently trying to make a little mod that changes zed's eyes to yellow so they look like cod zombies, I have copied all of the zombie textures and edited the white eyes out but question is:
do i create a new folder to place them somewhere?
if not, where do i put the textures in the game folders?

[red tiger]

I've made my syntax Regex for strings intelligent so that they highlight numeric values and syntax-specific characters for special properties.

[sour island]

nice

Are there plans to expand into sound, model, and other scripts?

[red tiger]

Yes. I'm doing this right now.

Working on populating highlighting for categories and improving the string code.

[tawdry solar]

sorry for a late response

it wont show ingame

my pings dont work

[azure rivet]

Hello, can someone help me by giving me a code to increase the damage to the SmallBlade weapon category, I try this but it doesn't work for me.
local function SB_Damage(character, weapon, damage) if weapon ~= nil and weapon:getCategories():contains("SmallBlade") then damage = damage * 10 return damage end end Events.OnWeaponSwing.Add(SB_Damage)

[red tiger]

Heheh found this:

=)

[modern hamlet]

local function SendExpToNearestPlayers(player, args)
    
    local expType = args[1]
    local newArgs = { args[2], args[3]}

    -- Does not work
    for playerIndex = 0, getNumActivePlayers() -1 do
        local p = getSpecificPlayer(playerIndex)        
        if expType == "Religion" then    
            sendServerCommand(p, 'MadhousePayment', 'AddReligionExp', newArgs)
        end
    end
    
    
    -- Works
    if expType == "Religion" then    
        sendServerCommand(player, 'MadhousePayment', 'AddReligionExp', newArgs)
    end
    
    -- Works
    if expType == "Religion" then    
        sendServerCommand('MadhousePayment', 'AddReligionExp', newArgs)
    end
end

I wonder why it doesn't work when I send command from server to player I found with loop?

[bronze yoke]

getSpecificPlayer, getNumActivePlayers, etc are client only

if you want to loop through players on the server use getOnlinePlayers()

[modern hamlet]

-- Give money to all online players
local function PayToPlayers()
    for playerIndex = 0, getNumActivePlayers() -1 do
        local player = getSpecificPlayer(playerIndex)
        
        local repLevel = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Reputation)
        if repLevel then
            player:getInventory():AddItems("mh_items.MHOneDollar",(repLevel*2)+1)
        end
    end
end
Events.EveryHours.Add(PayToPlayers)

but this one works, i give money to online players like this

[bronze yoke]

are you testing this in multiplayer?

[modern hamlet]

yes

[bronze yoke]

are you sure this isn't running on the client? does your file return if isclient()?

you shouldn't be able to access player inventories from the server at all iirc

[modern hamlet]

its on server lua 😕

[bronze yoke]

server folder runs on both

you need to return if isclient() if you only want it to run on the server

[true vault]

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was hoping to make a mod that allows server admins to enable/disable certain events and actions and such, to have a message sent to a Discord webhook, like when a server starts up, players join, fog/rain events, etc.

Used to use something like that for Valheim when I hosted servers for that. Found it to be quite useful.

[small topaz]

you can just mimic the folder structure of the vanilla game and put your new textures into the respective folders. they will then overwrite the vanilla textures and it may be necessary to restart the game in order to enable/disable the mod. the location for your new textures should be yourMod/media/textures/Body. Make sure to give your new textures the same name as the vanilla zombie textures.

[glass basalt]

I'm making clothes for the first time, how do I handle GUIDs? where do I get them, do they have to be unique IDs?

[glass basalt]

your issue is that you have module Base but you also import Base
remove imports { Base }

[tawdry solar]

oh

[glass basalt]

sorry my response took a while - my mod isn't working either 😂

[glass basalt]

to confirm: Events.OnGameStart IS client-side, right? My mod is no longer multiplayer compatible for some reason, and I have been using this event the whole time

[bronze yoke]

it's client-side

[glass basalt]

I am a fat moron: I changed my mod ID and couldn't figure out why nothing was happening (it wasn't even enabled correctly)

it's always the stupid stuff

[red tiger]

Just finished walking through every vanilla script file with my syntax highlighting WIP extension.

=)

A couple changes and I consider it to be in basic working order.

[fast galleon]

I noticed a weird thing, I remove the "BlocksPlacement" from a sprite from Lua but the square still gets that. Using f2, the flag is no longer on the object... I tried searching for anything that would add that but see nothing, weird. Object is campfire if it makes any difference.

[red tiger]

I'd like to use the slice-of-pie icon for my ZedScript extension for VSCode.

No rights to though. =/

[glass basalt]

could someone PLEASE upload this to Imgur? it refuses to upload for me for some reason
Let me know if you are experiencing the same issue

God bless you man. Thank you so much

ill even credit you in my mod description. this was such a PITA

you sure?

okay. Thank you again

[rancid panther]

@glass basalthey are you free to help me with adding sandbox settings to my mod?

[glass basalt]

I am. Give me a minute to finish uploading my mod update. Send me a DM, unless you want to discuss it here

[rancid panther]

here is fine if ur okay with that

[glass basalt]

okay

God dammit, now my update is giving me error code 2

@rancid panther are you familiar with how to add new sandbox optipns? or completely unfamiliar

[rancid panther]

i've seen other mods that add it but im not sure how to do it

all i know is there's a sandbox file and you use SandboxVars.blablabla

[glass basalt]

@weak sierra please advise. my preview images are 16KB and 67KB

[glass basalt]

yep. so, go to media and make a new txt file titled "sandbox-options.txt"

that is the hardcoded file

[rancid panther]

i have

[glass basalt]

alright, now what kind of options do you want? a boolean checkbox, an integer / float / string input?

[rancid panther]

so this is what im trying to do rn but im not sure if im doing it right

[glass basalt]

you are missing a line on top

let me find it, one second

[bronze yoke]

i don't think you can use lua style comments

[weak sierra]

check palette and format

[rancid panther]

oh okay

[bronze yoke]

java style only iirc

[weak sierra]

has to be the regular PNG format

no wonky shit

[glass basalt]

they should be... ill check again

[rancid panther]

i have those in the translation files that didnt have any issues

[weak sierra]

translation files are lua

[rancid panther]

but should i remove those as well to be safe?

[weak sierra]

that's zedscript

[rancid panther]

oh okay

[glass basalt]

it would be better to simply not use them

[weak sierra]

zedscript uses /* comment */

[rancid panther]

i'll just keep them out then thanks

[glass basalt]

add VERSION = 1, above your first option. I don't know how exactly this works, but it is important, so we don't question the spaghetti

[rancid panther]

at the very very top or after the {

[glass basalt]

here is an example of my option

option InsurgentLUVVehicleConditionMin = {
    type = integer, 
    min = 1,
    max = 100,
    default = 1,
    page = Vehicle,
    translation = Vehicle_InsurgentLUVVehicleConditionMin,
}

[glass basalt]

very very top. that line, then space, then option

[rancid panther]

ok

[glass basalt]

so, besides the comments, this looks good

[rancid panther]

this is what it looks like now

[glass basalt]

presto. although you could have it spaced the way it was previously 🤗

doesn't matter much

[rancid panther]

i like ur way better

[bronze yoke]

missing comma on first line

[glass basalt]

oh yeah lol

[rancid panther]

Version = 1,?

[glass basalt]

yes

[rancid panther]

kk

[red tiger]

I think I'm going to settle with what I have.

[rancid panther]

okay and now in the actual lua file im using it

does this make sense?

[glass basalt]

now, to call the option as it is, use SandboxVars.TomaroSOAT.ImmuneChance
this should give you a double (which is an integer for Lua)
there is also a more verbose way of finding the sandbox variable, but this is newer and cleaner

yes

also make sure TomaroSOAT is defined

unless it is not important... i don't use objects for the sandbox options

[rancid panther]

sorry i dont know what you mean

where do i call it as is?

the way i already have it? or somewhere else?

[glass basalt]

make sure the game knows what TomaroSOAT is
add at the top of the Lua file TomaroSOAT = TomaroSOAT or {} to inherit or instantiate the object

[bronze yoke]

it doesn't need to be defined

[glass basalt]

it doesn't? okay good, nvm

[bronze yoke]

the sandbox option parser creates those tables

[rancid panther]

i see

and how is this translation?

i dont understand why it uses underscores now but another mod i looked at used underscores here

[bronze yoke]

also doubles are not integers! they are floating point numbers

[glass basalt]

that is good. I would remove <br>Default = 5, it is automatically added by the UI

[rancid panther]

oh it does?

[glass basalt]

I meant that Lua uses doubles as integers because of their philosophy or w/e

[rancid panther]

other mods with sandbox options sometimes dont say the default tho

[glass basalt]

they don't say them if the option is not an integer or float type

you have an integer for immunechance

[rancid panther]

okay thanks

[bronze yoke]

lua doesn't have an integer type, it just has number, which is a double

[glass basalt]

yeah

[rancid panther]

so when i say ZombRand 100 doesnt that actually technically mean 101 because 0 counts?

[glass basalt]

yeah, you need ZombRand(101) to get a number between 0 and 100

[rancid panther]

i thought it is 99 because if you have 0 it will count too

[glass basalt]

it is exclusive

you can do ZombRand(1, 101) to include 1 and exclude 101, for 1 to 100

[rancid panther]

cuz before i had it as ZombRand(20) <= 0

i see

i'll do that then

but then would it cause issues if someone typed 0 in sandbox?

[glass basalt]

that is what min and max are for

[bronze yoke]

it wouldn't, it would just never be true, which is what they would want anyway

[glass basalt]

hmm, that too

[bronze yoke]

although i guess they probably wouldn't use an immune mod if they wanted a 0% chance of being immune

[rancid panther]

cuz i want an option to have 0% chance since im using it in my own mod that has other features

[glass basalt]

it could be used for not having a random chance to gain immunity, but have the option of being immune from the trait

[rancid panther]

which is mostly just professions and traits

[glass basalt]

unless the mod works differently from what i recall

[rancid panther]

the standalone mod is just the immune chance with testing for immunity, but the one i havent uploaded has the selectable trait as well as immune chance

so if you make it 1-101 it actually means 1-100, and leaving 0 as an option in sandbox will still work?

[glass basalt]

depends on where you're leaving 0

what does the sandbox option do

[rancid panther]

im testing it rn if there is any errors if i have 0

elseif ZombRand(1, 101) <= immunechance then
            testData.testStatus = "untested"
            testData.immune = true

[glass basalt]

if ZombRand(1,101) <= 0, then ZombRand will always be false since it is > 0, so the sandbox option would work if set to zero

[rancid panther]

immunechance is the sandbox option

well it works now! thanks!

could you also help me properly add translations for when i want the player to say something?

i still havent even started on improving the testing method

[glass basalt]

the getText() method will work best

you specify a parameter as a string the name of the variable in a Translation file somewhere, and it'll get the actual string

which translation file, idk

ill look

in IGUI_EN.txt add a line similar to IGUI_PlayerText_MyText = "I am saying something",

[rancid panther]

okay so it uses IGUI_EN?

[glass basalt]

then in the Lua, do playerObj:Say(getText("IGUI_PlayerText_MyText"))

maybe, maybe not

i don't think it actually matters

[rancid panther]

i tried using getText before but it didnt work probably due to where i was defining the translations

i was using the same file as where i had the trait translations

[glass basalt]

where were the translations

[rancid panther]

UI_EN

[glass basalt]

hmm

[rancid panther]

i'll try IGUI_EN

[bronze yoke]

it does matter

it's hardcoded to a misleading degree

[glass basalt]

sasuga indie stone-san

[glass basalt]

i reexported them with additional metadata and it worked
im guessing it was missing definitions for colors

[rancid panther]

where can i see how to make a crafting recipe?

im making a temporary crafting recipe as a replacement of my old testing system

which im gonna eventually replace for a health panel version of a bite inspection instead of using a recipe

nvm

[glass basalt]

you can take a look at how mods like Replace Bandage add options to the health panel, instead of a recipe

at most you will need a timed action but they are relatively easy

[rancid panther]

i saw it but it was overwhelming. im gonna need help if i wanna do that too

[glass basalt]

it should just be a context menu injector, but I have not looked at it

[rancid panther]

the replace bandage mod has hundreds of lines, and i cant find anyone else really asking questions about modding the health panel in this server that i can use for reference

it seems like it is a lot more work than most ppl are willing to do so they just prefer to make a normal crafting recipe

my playertext translations didnt seem to work

it must be something else then

[dark wedge]

Almost any of the animations defined as TimedActions in AnimSets/player/actions
Don't think there's a list of them all. Some will require specific conditions and variables to be set, so would be unusable unless you do so

But you could do like:
AnimNode:Dig
AnimNode:TakePills
Should work.

thanks

Any reason this can't be eaten ingame?

This one on the other hand works fine

[wooden lodge]

Does Hunger have to be a negative value or what am I missing

[rancid panther]

did u try testing that? that could be the case

i think changing the testing/inspection system will be the last major thing before i can officially consider my mod complete

[wooden lodge]

That should still allow a person to usei t

You simply can't eat it at all

[ancient grail]

where did you get it? perhaps it became like that due to file conversion ?

[jaunty marten]

it's just a answer for ur question about negative/positive hunger

[wooden lodge]

Do you have an idea why two powders don't work and one does?

I can't find it and it doesn't make sense looking at it at all

[rancid panther]

try making thirst go down by 1

maybe it requires at least one of them to be negative

as long as it is in the food category

[jaunty marten]

mb issue with +? idk why r u type +10 instead 10 and not sure that zedscript allows this

[rancid panther]

could be that too

[wooden lodge]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I will try that

[jaunty marten]

btw it shouldn't be a issue but u have two Type variable in ur item

[rancid panther]

tell us if removing the plus works out for uu

[ancient grail]

Looks like it worked cuz he didnt came back

[rancid panther]

lol

[hot patrol]

I see anime outfits. Me like

Any chainsaw man stuff?

[chrome egret]

Good morning, all

I think I solved my item transfer bug C:

[fast galleon]

please do tell

[chrome egret]

Could you check out my notes on the topic? https://github.com/TheCrimsonKing92/project-zomboid-modding-notes/blob/main/item-transfers.md

There is a server component to this, but since I can't get those logs or truly debug it I avoided really speaking on that.

[sour island]

Server logs are named co-op console -- unless there's something else that logs/it doesn't have what you want

[chrome egret]

The receiveOnServer method is logging at trace level

per Aiteron, you can't get that level of logging

or at least we can't without doing Java recompilation shenanigans to which I'm not willing to resort 😄

Perhaps someone here could shed some light, though. I fear I'm missing something obvious about Safehouses

I've connected to my dedicated server with an admin, a client, and now two clients. In none do I see any option to create or designate a Safehouse.

Does it have to be something other than a residential house?

[tawdry solar]

didnt fix it

[frank elbow]

Have you added the item to any distribution tables? Have you checked whether you can spawn it in debug mode with the items list?

[frank lintel]

ah how I wish I had ban powers in some discord servers

[winter coral]

yo does anyone know what this means when making a script for clothing
"<m_Masks>13</m_Masks>
<m_Masks>14</m_Masks>
<m_Masks>3</m_Masks>
<m_Masks>5</m_Masks>"

[red tiger]

The first thing I see when walking in here.

[frank lintel]

well got plebs asking if 'something' works with a broken copy of their game lets just leave it at that.

[red tiger]

ok.

I have one outstanding issue with my syntax highlighter.

[frank lintel]

o.O

[red tiger]

It's for an oddly formatted copy of sandbox-options.txt.

Multi-property lines.

[frank lintel]

ugh

[red tiger]

That shouldn't be aqua in there. =)

This is the normally formatted version.

[frank lintel]

so why there different formats?

[red tiger]

Other than that, every vanilla file works properly.

[frank lintel]

age when it was made?

[red tiger]

That format isn't my focus. It's the highlighting.

I work with Regex to produce highlighting in VSCode.

I'm asking myself if I should try to make my highlighting work with that formatting.

[frank lintel]

yeah I get that but ya got one working one not just wondering why the diff they both listing same version # so...

[red tiger]

I modified the first screenshot to adhere to the formatting of the vanilla files.

I can publish this extension in its current form.

What I'm openly asking is if I should support that odd format of the same file.

[frank lintel]

if thats not std. to me... nope.

that be like supporting depreciated stuff 5 major versions later...

[red tiger]

The code would run all the same in that spacing in PZ.

Hmm ok.

I can always leave that up to future me or someone to try to make my syntax Regex stronger.

[frank lintel]

I see it more of odds... how much do you think that odd version going to be seen is it worth the time... can you make an exception for it to catch that etc etc. just weigh it out.

[red tiger]

Not with highlighting no.

While TextMate Grammars uses recursive JSON API, it is ran 100% through Regex.

I plan to write a formatter and an IntelliSense component to the extension.

The formatter will format close to the vanilla file formats.

The IntelliSense component will be by far the most helpful component.

Property-specific logic can be implemented with IntelliSense where it will tell you: "Hey, this is the wrong value for this property".

[frank lintel]

well Im no fan of IS so cant help ya on opinion there

[red tiger]

IS?

What's that?

Oh

[frank lintel]

IntelliSense so I dont ....

lol

[red tiger]

I'm a fan of it when it's actually modified to work with what I'm working on specifically.

Generic IntelliSense gets in the way.

[frank lintel]

you give me only a pulldown suggestion fine... closing my " ( if then adding in ends etc automatic which just make me type just as much having to move to another key to get to EOL etc.... no thanks ^_^

[red tiger]

.. And that's why I hate Visual Studio.

I know the syntax and flow.

VS is a nanny-state-driven editor.

[frank lintel]

🤣

[red tiger]

Look: I won't tell you to use VI or VIM.

[frank lintel]

why I do...

[red tiger]

VSCode is a great middle-ground for "some support" vs too much or too little.

[frank lintel]

literally my first editor I ever used was Vi lol on a vt100 to a at&t unix system

[red tiger]

VS is literally a giant trap to force their customers to use theme exclusively forever..

I'm the only programmer in my team that doesn't use Visual Studio to code.

They use those products.

I have to run it but I don't write in it.

[frank lintel]

I dont mind it Lua wise it sure the hell better at dependancies etc then IJ is.

but ewww on writing like you said.

[red tiger]

I w a n t to shit on Notepad++ users but they're doing it entirely for the same reasons, mostly.

It's just ugly. That's my severance to it. hahaha

It has every tool you need though.

[frank lintel]

why Im surprized no-one hasnt done anything for netbeans

[red tiger]

I thought NetBeans was dead.

I wrote in that when I was in school.

[tawdry solar]

no

[atomic trout]

someone has time to sit with me in vc and walk me through this tiny texture mod im making pls?

[tawdry solar]

oh wait

i tried to spawn with debug

[frank lintel]

prob dunno workshop was too strict think that was the issue. but I mean we using a java lua not C lua...

[cerulean rover]

Is there a way to change the form of the chat? I am not saying to make it more invisible with the same configuration that it has, I am saying to be able to eliminate it completely and that only the text remains with the invisible background.

[red tiger]

Going to license my ZedScript VSCode extension as MIT so people in here and modders can improve on it without restrictions. =)

Tempted to use LGPL but it doesn't make sense for this project.

[frank lintel]

choosealicense.com

[red tiger]

That's useful for people who don't understand licenses. =)

Actually it's a good refresher.

New licenses pop up all the time.

[frank lintel]

Ive seen better pickers just dont know where cuz it been years

[red tiger]

Yeah..

I've spent days considering multiple licenses on projects, both small and big.

[frank lintel]

I cant even remember what I typically used looks like bsd changed alot

[red tiger]

Always remind people that they can license their works.. =)

I use MIT when I don't care about the uses of my work, even commercially.

[frank lintel]

https://github.com/Sycholic/arrows4players/blob/master/LICENSE

[red tiger]

Just 1) Don't sue for damages and 2) Don't forget to credit.

[frank lintel]

think that sums up my lisc :P I just looked

bsd-3-clause whatever that name is

[frank elbow]

I usually go with MIT but I've been on the fence about what I want to use for mods. Haven't released any yet so still time to go hmmmm a billion more times

[red tiger]

The more copy-centric you go the safer you are when dealing with references to other code, licensed or fully copyrighted.

[dull moss]

What was the way to make PZ generate random numbers? I remember it had some zrand() or something?

[frank elbow]

I like copyleft 🥺 I just don't know that it really works for mods

[frank elbow]

ZombRand

[red tiger]

I have PZ libraries licensed as LGPL too because I feel that ownership is important enough to keep from being anything used at an official capacity.

You cannot use anything strong as or stronger than GPL for PZ.

[dull moss]

public static double ZombRand(double double1)
double 1 is upper limit?

[frank elbow]

Mhm, exclusive [0, that number)

[red tiger]

Yeah that sounds right.

[dull moss]

was about to ask that, thanks

[red tiger]

Seriously. You can own any files you write from scratch, even Lua files that interfaces with the game. You can't force PZ to go open-source though.

You can't own a file that is modified or overwritten with code from that file.

Picking a license also means being compliant with that license or it is voided.

[frank elbow]

One of my current mods has some functions that were taken from the existing source & modified (for performance or other reasons)

I don't know where the line is for originality

[red tiger]

You can license individual files by heading them with the license as a comment. You can't license the modified files though. =)

[frank elbow]

I wouldn't say they're modified files, that's the thing

[red tiger]

The relationship between those files and how they might interact will also need to be compliant with the license... which is why if you don't want to go through that then pick MIT or BSD.

[frank elbow]

It's very few instances of similar code so it's ambiguous

Might stick with MIT then, thanks

[red tiger]

Yeah. Thought I'd help provide insight into what might be good based on how much you are 1) Willing to support copyleft and 2) What you want others to do with your works.

[tawdry solar]

can anyone else help

[tame mulch]

what problem?

[tawdry solar]

my item doesnt show ingame

[tame mulch]

Even by debug?

Or not spawn in world?

[tawdry solar]

yeah

i cant figure whats wrong with my code

[red tiger]

@tame mulch I'm going to publish my third-party VSCode extension today. =)

You see any screenshots?

[tawdry solar]

ooh

what is it

[tame mulch]

I think yes

[red tiger]

I will formally post information in the following days. I will also suggest support for the extension .zed.

[frank elbow]

Initial response: heck yeah, looks good
Louder part of my brain: WHY is the "v" in that font so small

[keen silo]

little update from my mod @abstract raptor and good news:

I just copied the entire RadioData.xml file and modified the values in my mod file, and it correctly loaded the changes to the tv

I'll try to generate the first audio for woodcraft and test how it works. Then, I'll try to automate the process with a script somehow

[red tiger]

I think I'm using Ubuntu font.

[dull moss]

so if my sbvar var is 1-100, this sounds about right to have % to trigger something, right?

    if player:HasTrait("RestorationExpert") then
        local chance = SBvars.RestorationExpertChance - 1;
        if ZombRand(100) < chance then
            self.item:setHaveBeenRepaired(self.item:getHaveBeenRepaired() - 1);
        end
    end

oh wait

should be <= I think

[frank elbow]

Is chance sbvar?

Oh, I missed the bit just to the right

[dull moss]

sbvar is [1-100]

[abstract raptor]

nice.

[frank elbow]

ZombRand(100) is [0, 99], so < should be correct (i.e., a chance of 0 should never pass)

[red tiger]

@tame mulch If you get another itch to scratch for ZedScript documentation, perhaps you could help me with transcribing documentation with the extension as I enter the IntelliSense phase of the project.

[dull moss]

but then i dont have to do - 1, right?

[red tiger]

Remember, you can always multiply a 0.0 -> 1.0 random value.

[frank elbow]

So SBvars.RestorationExpertChance is [1,100]?

[dull moss]

y

[frank elbow]

<= should work then ya

[dull moss]

cheers

as a proper modder I won't test if it works and just ask ppl

Its fine I got 40k ppl to test it for me

[frank elbow]

I was listening to music, looking at something on my other screen, and whistling while answering

Put zero trust in me

[red tiger]

I write tools specifically to ensure that there're more steps between you and me.

<3

[dull moss]

[red tiger]

Also, am I allowed to use the chery-pie icon for the extension? (To show when seeing the file in a directory listing or on the file tab)

I wouldn't know what I could use otherwise. :X

[ancient grail]

Im oretty sure you can. It is after all the default poster thing in the modtemplate

[red tiger]

I'd love to run with that but it's actually a legal question that'd need to be answered since I don't have explicit permission to. =/

I mean people do this with mod images.

Maybe I do..

Ugh.. If they ask me to remove it I can.

[ancient grail]

Ye .

[red tiger]

This is what two decades of modding has done to my brain.

[frank elbow]

We give you a licence to ... Use art, music, video footage or other assets of Project Zomboid for creative purposes in any way you like providing the end result is related in some way to promoting Project Zomboid or The Indie Stone, is for non-commercial use only (unless we agreed otherwise with you) and states Project Zomboid as its influence and origin by supplying the following wording prominently with the assets:
“Thanks to The Indie Stone for creating Project Zomboid https://projectzomboid.com/), which made this possible. This is an unofficial fan production for non-commercial purposes made under the Indie Stone Terms [link to these terms]“
https://projectzomboid.com/blog/support/terms-conditions/

Should be all good

[red tiger]

Yeah.. The default logo is used as an example banner.

[ancient grail]

I think no one answered your question?
It masks the players body
You should ask #modeling
And check out their pinned post

[winter coral]

[ancient grail]

Imports what?

[tawdry solar]

i was told to remove it

even before it didnt work

[sour island]

remove the entire {} block then

[ancient grail]

Cuz your module is Base

[tawdry solar]

modding hurts #

[ancient grail]

Tho afaik you still need to import.base? Not sure

[ancient grail]

What are you trying to do anyways

[sour island]

You don't need to import it if the module is Base

[tawdry solar]

this is my other ojne

[tawdry solar]

add a weapon

[ancient grail]

Cool

[sour island]

I'm like 20% sure you can't define a model next to an item(?)

[ancient grail]

It could be cuz of the model

[tawdry solar]

the model isnt the issue

the item doesnt work

[sour island]

You have to be more descriptive lol

[ancient grail]

Yes

How exactly

Do you know it doesnt work?

[tawdry solar]

i cant explain

[ancient grail]

Can you see the model?

[tawdry solar]

as it just doesnt show ingame

no

the item doesnt sho

[ancient grail]

So its the model

[tawdry solar]

like in debug

i try to spawn it in

[ancient grail]

You mean item oicker

[tawdry solar]

and it isnt there

[sour island]

So it:
(A) is invisible
(B) has no model
(C) doesn't appear in the itemViewer

[ancient grail]

Picker*

[tawdry solar]

im using cheat menu

[sour island]

Fairly certain cheatMenu uses the vanilla itemViewer - but that's not important

[tawdry solar]

oh

[sour island]

If it's not showing up something is wrong with the script

[ancient grail]

type this on debug

getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem("Dudclub")

Lua console

[tawdry solar]

thats my other working item

[tawdry solar]

this is my new one

[ancient grail]

So when aiteron asked for the script you showed us the working one?

[tawdry solar]

no

[sour island]

try removing imports {}

[tawdry solar]

thats the new one

[ancient grail]

Ahh ok

Sorry

My bad

[tawdry solar]

its fin

fine

[sour island]

For your working weapon, do you have item and model in the same file?

[ancient grail]

But yeah replace the name

With Bolo

Try it using lua console

[tawdry solar]

yes

[ancient grail]

It works if you have model and item

Not sure why you thought it wont

[sour island]

Probably something I heard once

[ancient grail]

Tho 20¢

%

[red tiger]

The problem is that the files are .txt.

I don't think that it's a good idea to associate .txt with ZedScript automagically.

[sour island]

you could use .txt with specific names like the java does

as a stopgap

[red tiger]

Maybe a directory.

[ancient grail]

Let me know if it spawned or not after you entered the code

[sour island]

that too

[red tiger]

B42 could fix this issue with a line of code.

[ancient grail]

Cuz we are looking for whats causing it not to spawn at all

[sour island]

Toss it up as a suggestion

[tawdry solar]

what

im really confused

[ancient grail]

👆

But change the name

[tawdry solar]

but my item isnt dudclub

oh

[ancient grail]

To Bolo

[ancient grail]

👆

[red tiger]

else if (!var1.endsWith(".txt")) {
    DebugLog.Script.warn(" file is not a .txt (script) file: " + var1);
}

else if (!var1.endsWith(".txt") && !var1.endsWith(".zed")) {
    DebugLog.Script.warn(" file is not a .txt or .zed (ZedScript) file: " + var1);
}

@tame mulch 🥺

Fixes so many issues.

If I have to write a suggestion on the forums I will.

[sour island]

You should, and also include a writeup of the whole zedscript concept

[tawdry solar]

it kinda worked @ancient grail

it gave me an item called machete

the models kinda fucked too

[red tiger]

I could write a university paper on this format at this point..

[red tiger]

I'm about to write another paper on a draft for a preprocessing language to ZedScript.

[sour island]

    item Bolo
    {
     ...
        DisplayName    =    Machete,

[tawdry solar]

hm?

[sour island]

That's what you named it @tawdry solar

[tawdry solar]

oh right

thanks

[frank elbow]

Would also have to change the references to sandbox-options.txt and the skill-related one I still haven't seen

[sour island]

Those are kind of sort of not scripts

[red tiger]

Any string literal expression containing .txt

[sour island]

It's to work around enums

[frank elbow]

They use the same parser

[tawdry solar]

now i just need to fix my model

[sour island]

fair

[tawdry solar]

its a strange thing though

its the same size as the pz machete

[frank elbow]

If we get too hasty, we'll end up grabbing workshop.txt 😄

[ancient grail]

what i thoght additem looked for the type

getType()

[sour island]

he spawned it using the type

[ancient grail]

didnt know it looks for the DisplayName?

[sour island]

and complained it was named machete

[ancient grail]

ahh

i see

[red tiger]

I'd literally write support for any ZedScript file.

[sour island]

meanwhile the script is just crying in confusion

[red tiger]

I think all ZedScript files should contain a version flag.

[ancient grail]

so it works there now you have spawned the item you needed thats your item 🙂 goodluck fixing the model you can ask #modeling

@tawdry solar

[tawdry solar]

i did

[frank elbow]

That one was a joke—the workshop.txt file is BBCode(?) I think that's what it's called

Yeah, BBCode (well, the whole file is not really BBCode, just the description values)

[red tiger]

Oh wait yeah lol

I didn't know about sandbox-options.txt until someone pointed that out.

[frank elbow]

I'm still curious about what the skill one is

[red tiger]

Same.

[frank elbow]

Might take a peek at some mod that adds skills to see

It's perks.txt

[red tiger]

Have an example?

[frank elbow]

Credit to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2721945297 for letting me peek 😉 here:

VERSION = 1,

perk Miscellaneous
{
    parent = None,
    translation = Miscellaneous,
    passive = false,
    xp1 = 0,
    xp2 = 0,
    xp3 = 0,
    xp4 = 0,
    xp5 = 0,
    xp6 = 0,
    xp7 = 0,

    xp7 = 3000,
    xp8 = 4000,
    xp9 = 5000,
    xp10 = 6000,
}

[red tiger]

Writing support for it right now.

[frank elbow]

Like sandbox-options, VERSION is required and must be 1 (as of now). If only that applied to the other scripts

[sour island]

Anyone know of a way to confirm remote co-op players are the same steamID?

I presume not as it's relying on the split-screen tech

[red tiger]

@frank elbow

All I had to do for the syntax highlighter is add perk to the list of types.

[frank elbow]

Neat, looking forward to looking over the source 😄

[red tiger]

Going to probably scrap the TextMate Grammars file I spent around two weeks working on and move to a Language Service.

It's here though. I'll publish this one so people have something in the meantime.

[red tiger]

Hmm

I think I need to add a picture for the extension.

Supposed to be a dead eye but themed for my org.

There we go. Happy.

My personal, unofficial icon for an unnoficial script name. xD

It's live on VSCode. <3

Time for lunch.

Update 2 of my Voiced TVs and Radios mod.

I managed to voice the first woodcraft episode of day 0 at 12:00

This is the audio I made using ElevenLabs premade/sam and some editing to add the hammer sounds.

The audio works and plays perfectly (aparentyl .wav doesn't work, but .ogg does 🤷‍♂️ ), but I have some problems @abstract raptor.

The first problem is that the tags appear and fade away way too fast. Here is the modified xml with time tags:

${t:1.15}Y'all are watching Woodcraft!
${t:2.05}Your one stop shop for home improvement!
${t:1.19}We're startin' with the basics.
${t:1.20}The kinda stuff they teach at kindergarten.
${t:2.10}You like floors? I like floors.
${t:1.21}Take a plank and a nail like this...
${t:1.09}Take your hammer and...
${t:0.23}bang bang
${t:1.20}Looks kinda nice like that huh?
${t:0.23}bang bang
${t:1.22}Know what else is good for practice?
${t:2.03}A sign. Write whatever you like.
${t:1.01}Hunk at work, maybe?
${t:0.23}bang bang
${t:2.11}Like that ladies? Leadin' y'all straight to me!
${t:1.23}Tomorrow we're takin' off the training wheels.
${t:1.09}Door frames here we come!

I assumed the t: is in seconds, so i used the time the clips lasted in the editor for them. Am I missing something?

[abstract raptor]

t: is in seconds yes

[keen silo]

do I have to add some number to ofset the fadeaway? it is way too quick

[abstract raptor]

well some of those are only playing for like a fraction of a second so that makes sense

[sour island]

I messed with eleven labs a bit, you can actually supply different voices as samples to get a hybrid

[abstract raptor]

I cloned my voice with Eleven Labs ha

i pay for it too, made some ads for my friends business

I wouldn't think to voice the radio with the voice clones but meh

[bronze yoke]

when i was writing my radio stuff i didn't see any way to alter the fade time whatsoever

i might have missed something, but it seemed like the related methods had a set time they would show messages, and the only thing you could change was the timing that the messages appear

[keen silo]

I just crunched the numbers and it adds up to 20 seconds instead of 29, so perhaps I wrote some numbers wrong

[sour island]

When you stumble into the guy 3 years into the apoc acting out his tv show in the dead studio

[abstract raptor]

When I do this part what I do is open the audio in like audacity, then select the section I want to time; get it's time in seconds and round to the nearest 2nd decimal point. Then I trim that part of the audio file, and move onto the next line

[keen silo]

im using Wondershare, but I dont know what mistake Im making, every time I add the times i get it wrong

for like, 5 seconds

oooooooooo

i just realized

I dont know who made this, but he is evil

check the times of the table. it goes 0.0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 1.0

[abstract raptor]

just use audacity lol

it's free

and doesn't snap like that

[keen silo]

so the decimal point is not in seconds, it is in cuarter of seconds

[abstract raptor]

maybe there's a preference you can change?

[keen silo]

alright, after fixing the decimal point, now it adds to 29.6 seconds, im gonna check it again

It would be nice to have a woodcraft jingle to add at the end, but I don't know audio editing enough to make it, and I don't believe I can get Eleven Labs to sing Wood... Craft!

[chrome egret]

Perhaps it's obvious, perhaps not. My settings defaulted to PlayerSafehouse = false. Changing that helped.

[craggy furnace]

you can

ive already done it

you tweak the sliders to the left

they will just have very little tune so dont waste your time

[ancient grail]

Ei yo shark

[keen silo]

Alright, Here I have a working demo of the first episode of woodcraft voiced. I'll start to work on a automation script for this project. Otherwise, I might go insane 😛

Thanks @abstract raptor for the framework. Is there a way to not get my character drunk when watching the show? Because of how it is made, it seems to increase the drunkenness

[abstract raptor]

it doesn't make you drunk.

IT just says it increases drunkeness

it doesn't actually

cuz it's disabled

[keen silo]

great

[tardy wren]

okay, my mod is... well, having a bad day

This thing executes just fine on a server. But on a client, it has a stroke when I call the anyKnifeProxy

It's in the shared folder...

[bronze yoke]

server folder isn't loaded until some time after ongameboot for some reason, so the Recipe table doesn't exist yet

[tardy wren]

Oh

Then why does it trip after calling the functions from it several times?

Eh whatever. I'll try onInitGlobalModData

[tardy wren]

But why does it not complain when on a server?

[bronze yoke]

not really sure! but i ran into the same issue with ongameboot

[tardy wren]

Okay

I figured it may have something to do with difference in file load order between server and client...

[bronze yoke]

i think the event must fire after server lua is loaded instead of before on servers

[tardy wren]

I'm still surprised that modifying the array works

When trying to remove an item out of the array didn't before

[bronze yoke]

that should actually work

arrays should always be passed by reference as far as i know

[tardy wren]

Unless I was doing it wrong all that time and I could've saved myself all of this nonsense

okay, no, remove() does work by index

[ancient grail]

Nah men you learned from it didnt you. So its worth it.. well for me atleast thats the case most of the time

[tardy wren]

YES

It finally works, holy shit

[glass basalt]

🥳

[red tiger]

Improving some stuff ATM based on feedback.

[glass basalt]

Jab, what else would I need to get syntax highlighting for PZ's Kahlua?

[red tiger]

Any IDE or RTE that supports Lua highlighting.

(Rich Text Editor)

[glass basalt]

Hmmm, I meant documenting the Java methods from PZ in Lua

[red tiger]

Huh.. Oh man.. What a thing to bring up with me specifically.. hahahaha.

Only things I can offer are looking up EmyLua, PipeWrench (My stuff), or that prototype for PipeWrench for third-party documenting.

[opal nest]

Trying to make it so I can craft a new bottle into a smashed bottle, ive added a new recipe that names the new type but when its in game the option doesnt appear, anyone know what could be the cause?

[glass basalt]

Alright, cheers Jab 🍺

[red tiger]

Oh BTW are there modders who want me to complete all ZedScript UML diagrams?

Here's the Vehicle category.

[opal nest]

There's no errors in the console

[red tiger]

More debugging. yaaaay.

xD

[sour island]

If you can get vehicle scripting to be less of a headache that would be great lol

I spent like a hour trying to figure out how to get templates to work as I expected

[red tiger]

Hahaha. Might want to think of ways to do this with a new language.
