Cherry ice looks a little funny but it's gotta have white somewhere lol

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

i'm actually going to change it

#

see how the end of watermelon ice is put white

#

i'm going to change all the "ice" tags to just be white

#

not like how watermelon is now

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 4:26 AM

#

zamn, this site is baller
too bad my browser is interfering with it too much

#

ooo, I have an idea: you could take the "ice" in each name, keep its blending options, but put an overlay to make it look icey

#

not sure how I'd do that tho

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:36 AM

yeah like some cracks

Does you vape animation use lighter

#

Or did u figure out to skip that part

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 4:41 AM

use lighter?

#

no it doesn't

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 4:41 AM

Ayt

#

Was just wondering

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

hey glytcher do you know if there is a way to make a timed sequence happen within a function

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

Ye. Use vishnyas lua timers

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

thanks! is that a framework?

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

timer is a mod on the workshop, yeah

Steam Workshop::Lua Timers

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:45 AM

#

i see

#

it's like a guide framework? or a require framework?

#

ah nvm

#

so i use those functions if i want to create a timer that does something when the timer ends

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

you require the module (if it has one) and then call the methods

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

thanks

#

for what im trying to do (make a startup "effect" for the world power turning back on) would this be the right thing for me? i wouldnt necessarily say i need a timer per se

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Wait ill teach you. Let me go back to pc

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

to play a sound to give a feeling of the power gradually turning on

bronze yoke Apr 1, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

if you want a delay you need a timer of some sort

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

i see

#

so i would play the sound and time the power turning back on to happen at the end/climax of the sound effect

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

you're gonna have to time that manually, the game isn't very smart with sound

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

i see

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

timer:Simple(10, function() print("delay"); end)

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

just check the pastebin on the mod page

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

and this can go within the function?

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

thats basically it if you want more complex stuff

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

#

hows that look

yes

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 4:57 AM

that looks really nice

#

okay thanks!

#

i'll try that

bronze yoke Apr 1, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

nope

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 5:01 AM

#

ah

#

i think i might be fine actually

#

maybe not

#

if i want to make a measure for players changing the elec shutoff date mid playthrough, should i just have an override sandbox option?

frank lintel Apr 1, 2023, 5:07 AM

#

I'll stick with my concentrate of Blue Hawaiian

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 5:07 AM

since my mod changes the sandbox option for ElecShutModifier, and stores it in a table to reset it

Is it possible to programmatically add items to evolved recipes? Someone left a comment with some code on my Jerky mod and I'm wondering if its feasible. My main concern about adding base items to evolved recipes would cause compatibility issues

#

if item then
local EvolvedRecipe = item.EvolvedRecipe -- probably another way to get this field if this doesn't work. may need to do tostring(item.EvolvedRecipe) on it
item:DoParam(EvolvedRecipe .. ";Base.BeefJerky:10")
end``` 
Here's the code they left

#

also asking cause I'm a lua newbie

bronze yoke Apr 1, 2023, 5:56 AM

#

i'm not really sure what some parts of this code are supposed to do, but you can add items programmatically like that

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 5:57 AM

wow i can actually zoom in and see the animation now

#

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 5:58 AM

#

how did you add the icon to the context menu

#

I wanna do that

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 5:59 AM

local opt = context:insertOptionAfter("Favorite",getText("UI_vape_action"), isVape, callVapeAction, playerObj) 

opt.iconTexture = getTexture('media/textures/context.png');                 
-- Icon that displays adjacent to context menu item```

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:03 AM

#

interesting that you use UI_EN.txt instead of ContextMenu_EN.txt and it still points correctly

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:03 AM

#

all the different translation stuff confuses me tbh

#

i don't know exactly where things go

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:04 AM

#

🤷‍♂️

#

if you favorite the item, does the vape option still remain?

#

not sure if favorite unfavorite is the same context menu option

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

#

no it just moves it to the bottom luckily

#

nice thinking though, i didn't even consider that

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

ive just never seen the insertOptionAfter() method, only addOption()

frank lintel Apr 1, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

adding to existing. might even be an insert one

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:07 AM

#

addOption() just appends it, although some context menu options still appear below, they probably occur after the inv context menu option Event

frank lintel Apr 1, 2023, 6:08 AM

or just depending which one loaded when...

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:08 AM

oof, gotta curb those floats

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:43 AM

#

                usedDelta = tonumber(string.format("%.2f", usedDelta))```

#

why would this be happening on only the number 55?

floats are magical

#

look at curbing it to the first two decimal points. idk how that specific method formats it

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

that's what that's supposed to do

#

;w;

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

ah, there's a workaround

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

math.floor(x + 0.5)

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

multiply usedDelta by 100, and then convert the number into an ~~int~~ double, w/e Lua snobs

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

this is what i found online

#

the multiplication is later in the script so it looks like this basically

usedDelta = itemObj:getDelta();
usedDelta = tonumber(string.format("%.2f", usedDelta))

... a bunch of code

usedDelta = usedDelta * 100
self.tooltip:DrawTextRight(fontType, tostring(usedDelta).."%", textWidth+(gap / 1.8), y, color.r, color.g, color.b, color.a)

#

i guess i multiply first then do math.floor

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

yeah just do self.tooltip:DrawTextRight(fontType, tostring(tonumber(usedDelta*100)).."%", textWidth+(gap / 1.8), y, color.r, color.g, color.b, color.a)

#

or without the tonumber, idk

#

alright, time for the update spree

how does this changelog look?

my second update for my Unified KI5 Crafting Category is the following:

New update:

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 7:19 AM

#

self.soundChannel = self.character:getEmitter()

probably something using that

#

one sec

#

i think i know actually

#

o.smokeSound = "ecig";      
-- Name of the sound file that will be played
o.soundChannel = 0;         
-- The sound channel (basically frequency) that it will be played on```

```lua
if self.soundChannel ~= 0 and self.character:getEmitter():isPlaying(self.soundChannel) then
        self.character:getEmitter():stopSound(self.soundChannel);
        self.smokeSound = nil;
    end```

#

this checks if my sound is still playing and stops it if it is

#

in the perform section of the timed action

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 7:21 AM

#

i see. thanks

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 7:21 AM

if that helps

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 7:22 AM

#

i probably need to change some things for mine since it is like ambient noise

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 7:23 AM

#

if self.smokeSound ~= '' then           
-- If no sound is playing, start it
self.soundChannel = self.character:getEmitter():playSound(self.smokeSound);

#

and this is how its started

#

probably don't need that but just in case

rancid panther Apr 1, 2023, 7:23 AM

so i finally managed to center the text

#

but now i'm asking

#

does the text even look good there

#

or does it just add clutter

#

imagine the box is shorter in the second photo as well

#

or i could change it to where if it's specifically at 0% that it writes dead instead of 0%

#

what do y'all think

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

to not have the box with the empty line in the second one, add alternative text to "-- Dead --" like "-- Used --" or "-- Active --" or something

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

no i can adjust the height no problem

#

i'm just lazy

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

nah keep it consistent with the 0%

fading horizon Apr 1, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

and only changed the text

#

so its basically text or no text is the option

#

imagine theres no extra space in photo 2

I like the dead text, pretty novel

I think you can use getEmitter() with the player

I don't think It's good for multiplayer though

fading horizon what's the difference between translations in IG_UI and just UI

Theoretically, IG_UI is specific to text found in-game as opposed to in menus. The distinction isn't super clear—chat window strings are in UI_, some other UI strings are in IGUI_... I assume they were added at different types & strings were added by different people. Functionally, seems like the difference is nothing, unlike stuff like Sandbox_

warm vessel Apr 1, 2023, 1:47 PM

Yeah

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 1:47 PM

Looking at the vanilla skills books suggests that you should be able to just specify Strength as the skill trained by the book, unless there are checks for specific skills

#

The beginner carpentry book, for example, has these values in its script:

SkillTrained = Carpentry,
LvlSkillTrained = 1,
NumLevelsTrained = 2,

warm vessel Apr 1, 2023, 1:48 PM

Looking at the vanilla skills books suggests that you should be able to just specify Strength as the skill trained by the book

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:19 PM

Odd, but, if I loop through all options, and make a string that's "SandboxVars."..tostring(tableName).."."..tostring(shortname) it should wor, right?

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:19 PM

#

What are you trying to do?

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

I need to send the options from the server to the client over global mod data

#

And I want to make sure that they're loaded in the same order

#

I don't trust that they have the same index on the server and clients

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

Why does their load order matter?

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

They should, but I know better than to assume

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

frank elbow Why does their load order matter?

because I'm trying to load those settings into a new instance of sandbox options and transmitting them back to the server

#

So that the server can finally sync the settings for the client

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

I don't see why you'd encode it as a string rather than just sending a table

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

I am loading a table into the mod data, yes

ancient grail Apr 1, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

tardy wren They should, but I know better than to assume

I like the way you think! Thats how pz modder should think loool

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:22 PM

Then what's the purpose of the string? To be the key?

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:22 PM

Hmmm... Well, I need to know what to put into the getOptionByName

So you're sure getOptionByName eats a tablename.shortname format?

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

You could also encode it this way before sending, if you wanted. The SandboxVars bit isn't necessary

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:26 PM

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:26 PM

tardy wren So you're sure getOptionByName eats a tablename.shortname format?

If you'd like to double-check you can always look at the source lol, but yeah it uses the name the sandbox option is created with

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

tardy wren Odd, but, if I loop through all options, and make a string that's `"SandboxVars....

To actually answer the question up here: No, because not everything has a tableName

#

I think this is about syncing between server and client, not modifying them

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

fast galleon Ok, can I send you a list of options to not change?

oh, I;m not trying to change anything, don't worry

frank elbow If you'd like to double-check you can always look at the source lol, but yeah it...

That tells you quite a lot, I'd argue

From there, think "okay, where is the name set?"

from wherever the option is created?

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Correct at a high level, but more specifically where

#

If you don't care to go through this little mental exercise I can tell you, but I think it's useful to think abt these questions when understanding code

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

Which sends the options to server and clients

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

Well that's not the issue I'm trying to solve

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

tardy wren I'll ask for the way out... I only know Java from what source diving I do to fix...

Okay. There are a number of classes which inherit ConfigOption, and a number of sandbox option classes which inherit those classes. For example, DoubleSandboxOption within SandboxOptions. If we check the constructors of these, we'll see that they call SandboxOptions.parseName with the given string. The given string is passed directly to the super constructor, which ultimately bubbles up to the constructor of ConfigOption. SandboxOptions.parseName splits the string into a table name and short name, so we can infer that the expected input—which we've discovered is passed directly to the constructor—is the full string (We can also observe that some sandbox option constructors are called with the full name)

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

tardy wren Well that's not the issue I'm trying to solve

sounds like you're creating the issue

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Thank you. I've found the parsename and saw it splits by the dot, but I still wasn't sure

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

fast galleon sounds like you're creating the issue

the issue is Quantum, I'm trying to negate it completely

#

Players logging in to the server may be able to play with wrong sandbox settings because it doesn't load from the server, but from the local save file

#

But not always

#

so I'm making the client trigger the server's response to update the settings for all online players(incidentally the same as the UI is using)

#

That requires the client to send in the new settings tho, so I need the server to first transmit the settings over mod data to avoid a rollback of settings

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

Have you reported this bug?

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

Yes

#

It was dismissed as a feature or... Well, something along those lines

#

And I couldn't provide a reliable reproduction method in an unmodded game anyway

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

the one about the save file?

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

Yes

#

I tried to prove it by changing the values in the local save to cause a desync, but it always worked as intended

#

It's not like B41 will get an update anyway, and my server owner wants a solution now

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

In v41, you use SanboxVars.myPage.myValue for example to read the value. No need to do anything more. These work rather reliably after the OnInitGlobalModData event.

tardy wren Apr 1, 2023, 5:49 PM

No. I don't know what settings will be on the server. And I need all of them

#

Ah, I see where you reported it Diakon

fast galleon Apr 1, 2023, 6:05 PM

I see, that too talks about old file and not the loaded values though.

*not sure about the admin UI statement.

frank elbow Apr 1, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

The values are loaded from the file, so I'm unsure why the distinction is important here

#

That is, it would still cause issues with outdated options on clients

#

But again, I'm trying to make a mod to fix it now with whatever I can

It seems like it should be downloading them either way, which is confusing given this issue

Just fleshed out my vscode extension's item documentation for properties by detecting defined types and showing those type-specific properties.

In order to have circuits inside and be electronic, the model looks like a bottle of shampoo to me. I'm not saying that the mod isn't right, it's super modern but it doesn't give it the electronic touch in appearance. He thought that creating some that give us additional benefits in the game, such as give us health and stop bleeding from bites or cuts as if it were a futuristic hemoesthetic medical kit, that is, an auxiliary medical version, leaving the civilian consumer grade version, implementing a medical version with the rest that already has this mod and that the medical version make a electronic beep when consumed and are for single use so that there is a balance in the game and regularity of first-aid kits

How to do I begin my script file? What’s the opener thing at the top called

glass basalt Apr 1, 2023, 8:04 PM

The top things are require statements, that is how Lua loads other "modules" before it executes code

#

You don't need them actually because the base game files always load before mods

#

I'll show you a function that makes it easier on you. maemento mori's code is great if you have multiple items being added to the same places

No, people generally over complicate adding items to the distributions but it can be easy, if you follow this guide. It was written a while ago and isn't entirely up to date but it just works and is simple.

Also it's my weekend and I'm doing other things so I can't respond or follow up re this.

drifting ore How do I make my icons show up in game?

Which icons? The icons for your items?

#

In media\textures, you need to get the name of your item from the script file, like item myItem {}, and put the icon in the folder and name it item_myItem.png. It has to be like that.

neon bronze Apr 2, 2023, 8:09 AM

No i mean overall, like when i define in a txt file how does it get inserted in the game or where does the game translate the params to make an actual new ingame item

glass basalt Apr 2, 2023, 8:10 AM

#

The item script files are immediately loaded upon the game launching. Before the Lua even loads. Its automatic

#

You don't need to do anything additional to "create" the item in-game if that's what you're asking

SoundManager registerEmitter

AmbientStreamManager might be fitting here too?

#

since it should be a sound that doesnt play when someone is in the wilderness for example

#

i think when a blackout happens in vanilla, the sound doesnt play outdoors or smth

#

lemme double check

#

oh wow

#

it actually plays a different sound depending on how far you are from civilization

#

that's actually... really cool

#

okay, i'll try to make the sound come from the nearest building that requires power

Can you create the conditions so the game does that by itself or call the function directly?
