But as you can see here it's just checking if there's a light, and if so, it'll check if the light is on and do some stuff based on the battery, which is not an issue for me cause mine is always at 100%

#

So it's not really doing anything important

#

And that's all my leads

#

And before you ask, I did use part:setLightActive while creating the light part and it didn't do anything

#

@heady crystal hey quick question, do you know how to stop zombies spawning with bandages on?

heady crystal
#

Nope I don't mess much with zombie code

#

Barely did, only for the camo mod

#

I know there's a method for adding them

#

But I didn't find anything for removing them as I messed through the code and docs to make the camo mod

#

I could be wrong though

full mason
#

where abouts were you looking to add them?

#

I found a file called clothing_zeddmg.txt

Screenshot_2023-06-15_005758.png
#

could this be it?

bronze yoke
#

i am very sorry to tell you this is probably dead code

#

i looked around the java, and while those methods have a *lot* of code associated with them, i couldn't see anywhere they actually *do* anything

#

so i tried commenting out the method calls and headlights still work perfectly

#

test it further yourself but i don't think this code is actually responsible for headlights, or maybe anything at all

@heady crystal & @bronze yoke
ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\vehicles\template_headlight.txt

module Base
{
    template vehicle Headlight
    {
            lua
            {
                create = Vehicles.Create.Headlight,
                init = Vehicles.Init.Headlight,
                update = Vehicles.Update.Headlight,
            }
    }
}

Vehicles.Create.Headlight and the others are globals functions defined in the server directory.
When a vehicle spawn or is loaded on the map for the first time it has to create vehicle parts with random values so those global functions are used.

Vehicles.Update.Headlight is also called every ten minutes.

#

It is serverside

heady crystal
#

I needed whatever actually makes the light function

thin hornet
#

Because you probably need to transmit something i'll take a look

heady crystal
#

I thought about that but then why doesn't the vanilla code do it

#

If it's just hidden I'll be mad

#

I used vehicle:transmitPartModData(part) after creating it and it didn't do anything

thin hornet
#

setLightActive update flag in serverside so it should technically update clients eventually

#

VehicleManager is in charge of updating all vehicles based on the flags set to the vehicle.

heady crystal
#

Can we force it to update when we want it to?

thin hornet
#

VehicleManager is updated in IsoWorld update.

#

So if the flag has changed it should technically send the update to clients

bronze yoke
#

is it working in singleplayer? not sure we should worry about synchronisation yet

heady crystal
#

Nope, not by creating the item and the spotlight

#

I'll try activating it on creation and then on update

thin hornet
#

Try adding a print too to make sure you actually reach that part of the code?

heady crystal
#

wh

#

WHAT

#

Ok I am even more confused

#

So this whole time, I was testing it on one type of bicycle, the one that is guaranteed to have a headlight. It is using a template of mine for the headlight.
And the headlight spawns and all, but it doesn't work until you reload.

#

But now I tried it on a bicycle that uses the SAME template, and.... it works

#

Mind you I am not even checking anything cause obviously these functions will only trigger from my code

#

It's just creating the headlight and that's it

#

Everything is the same

thin hornet
#

So it's working or not?

heady crystal
#

It works on one of the bicycles and not in the other that has the same code and txt structure

#

So both and neither?

thin hornet
#

Id have to see it's hard to tell whats going on here

heady crystal
#

I'll just reload the game

#

That outta fix whatever witchery this is

thin hornet
#

haha most likely yes

heady crystal
#

Omg

#

Reloading fixed it!

#

Sorry I was also messing with some animations

#

This is so messed up, I'm not even gonna question it lmao

#

Like both bicycles share literally the same txt file with some small performance tweaks and models, and the code isn't differentiating between them. It should just work. This is so weird.

#

๐Ÿฅบ It's beautiful

#

Nooo I hit a tree feelsbadman

bronze yoke
#

yay!

heady crystal
#

Yay for hitting a tree sadge

bronze yoke
#

i need to do something like this myself soon so i'm glad the entire puzzle was solved for me drunk

heady crystal
#

Thank you both for the help

thin hornet
#

I've been working with those functions for a while now in my upcoming mechanic mod

#

@heady crystal don't forget to hook those functions correctly for mod compats

#

I do it this way so that I can reload and test changes.

_Vehicles_Update_Engine = _Vehicles_Update_Engine or Vehicles.Update.Engine

---@param vehicle BaseVehicle
---@param part VehiclePart
function Vehicles.Update.Engine(vehicle, part, elapsedMinutes, ...)
    --- do stuff

    return _Vehicles_Update_Engine(vehicle, part, elapsedMinutes, ...)
end
heady crystal
#

Thanks for the tip!

thin hornet
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

Can't wait to try that bike !

heady crystal
#

ahahah

#

Yeah this update adresses most of the issues the mod had. Well, out of what I can fix that is.

#

Tandem bike soon!

#

Also I reeeeeally could use that OnVehicleCrash and similar functions ๐Ÿคง

#

I do my own spin on it but it's not great

thin hornet
#

Same

#

I check for radical speed changes

heady crystal
#

I thought about that, but past me decided to do an occasional check that tests the current engine damage vs the previous cached one and based on that calls it a collision

bronze yoke
heady crystal
#

Current me isn't gonna bother fixing it cause it works great

thin hornet
heady crystal
thin hornet
#

@bronze yoke So if an other mod was init after, and you reload the one before, that latest one wont be there anymore

heady crystal
#

I just call my own custom function for this

#

The vanilla is already super simple nothing special about it, so there's no need. For my stuff that is, engine for instance is more complex from what I saw but I don't need to mess with that.

thin hornet
#

But technically only a reload would break something cause in normal game script do not reload

bronze yoke
#

what i mean is even without reloads if two mods use this method of hooking then only one mod will ever be applied at a time

thin hornet
#

hum no it takes the latest function if it exist already or it take the default one.

#

so it follow the chain

bronze yoke
#

it takes the already stored one if it exists, and the first mod will store it, so it always overwrites previous mods

heady crystal
thin hornet
#

It's global, so it always add up to the latest hook

#

oh

bronze yoke
# 
-- mod1.lua
_FuncName = _FuncName or FuncName -- _FuncName now points to the vanilla function
function FuncName()
    _FuncName()
    print("mod 1!")
end

-- mod2.lua
_FuncName = _FuncName or FuncName -- _FuncName already exists pointing to the vanilla function, so we use that
function FuncName()
    _funcName()
    print("mod 2!")
end
```mod 2 will overwrite mod 1
thin hornet
#

i see what you mean

#

Honestly I'll test real quick.

heady crystal
#

Does either of you have experience with AnimSets, the xml files?

thin hornet
#

just a little

bronze yoke
#

i've helped debug it but never used it myself

heady crystal
#

Ngl you have to actually reload the game from zero to test stuff there and I am just lazy rn lol

#

Ah ok then

#

I just wanted to make sure there are no or conditions basically

#

So here's my code for triggering the bike idle animation:

<m_Conditions>
  <m_Name>BikeType</m_Name>
  <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
  <m_StringValue>Base.BicycleRegular</m_StringValue>
</m_Conditions>

I tried adding a second <m_StringValue> with the Scrap bicycle variant but it didn't work, so I am just using a separate file for it rn.

#

But I found out there's some vanilla files that have multiple <m_Conditions>, but it's probably a and rather than an or

bronze yoke
#

i think it's an and

heady crystal
#

Yeah it makes more sense that way

thin hornet
heady crystal

#

I hate to have to reload the save to test changes in hooks. I supose a prefix name would solve it if it's unique but will saturate the global env even more

#

Hooking into a static function - Allowing file reload when debugging

Cache the original function the first time it's loaded, when reloaded the cache will be taken.

--- Prefix with your own mod id or it will override each other
MyModId_Vehicles_Update_Tire = MyModId_Vehicles_Update_Tire or Vehicles.Update.Tire

--- Override original function
function Vehicles.Update.Tire(vehicle, part, elapsedMinutes, ...)
    --- do some stuff

    --- return the cached function call
    return MyModId_Vehicles_Update_Tire(vehicle, part, elapsedMinutes, ...)
end

Original function: the function taken from TIS lua.
Cached function: the cached reference of the original function state before this current file was first loaded.

isn't it already public?

mellow frigate
#

how funny on a scale from Clown to Monty Python would you set this one? "java function with boolean return value called from lua interpret false as nil making the result comparison to false : false instead of true".

red tiger
mellow frigate
#

I lost hours on this and probably some life expectancy too.

red tiger
#

like "true" == true in JavaScript.

mellow frigate
#

it's more like the opposite

red tiger
#

I can do

if(array.length) {
  // Do stuff since the array is populated
}
``` in JS.

Just wasted some time of my own lol

Any idea how I can replace temporarily a nested function ? My target is ISContextDisassemble.lua self.createMenu ```ISWorldMenuElements = ISWorldMenuElements or {};

function ISWorldMenuElements.ContextDisassemble()
local self = ISMenuElement.new();

function self.init()
end

function self.createMenu( _data )

...```

#

can I override ISWorldMenuElements.createMenu ?

fast galleon
#

Basic lua:
not zx returns true if zx is nil or false
checking zx == false, or zx == nil will give different result for false and nil.

hidden jungle
#

when you use the AddXP event what are the booleans at the back of the function?
one of them is a callback to the OnXpGained event but i don't know what the other one is.

#

Player:getXp():AddXP(Perk, Amount, false, false, false)

bronze yoke
#

AddXP(PerkFactory.Perk type, float amount, boolean callLua, boolean doXPBoost, boolean remote)

hidden jungle
#

what is doXPBoost?

bronze yoke
#

whether to apply xp multipliers

hidden jungle
#

i think its broken for the protein bonus then

bronze yoke
#

it is

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ‘ˆ Has anyone had any luck creating sandbox options that appear in the server "Edit Settings" screen?

Untitled.png
#

I'm currently trying to test multiple users by using the -nosteam startup flag if there's any chance that makes a difference

fast galleon
novel barn
#

Yup that was it. Thank you. Glad I didn't spend an hour trying to figure this out.

#

So just to confirm I understand what's going on. The mods used by the server must be selected via the "mods used by this server" view and to adjust sandbox variables the mod just needs to be enabled on the host's client? **The host doesn't also have to have the mods enabled for the server to run? **

bronze yoke
#

yeah

#

it's just a limitation of how sandbox options work

novel barn
#

makes perfect sense in hindsight. I just hadn't considered it.

bronze yoke
#

it's only going to load the files for the mods you have activated, not the mods that will be activated in the future

mellow frigate
#

where can I hook light switch on/off by left click ? (same for curtain open/close)

#

looks like ISObjectClickHandler

glass basalt
#

sure, DM me

mellow frigate
#

I wonder why ISObjectClickHandleris server side.

mild venture
#

print in the serverCommands handler is not working? For example this print in server file should work? I have issue with debugging server commands handler

local OnClientCommand = function(module, command, player, args)
    print('Oh, hi Mark!')
end
Events.OnClientCommand.Add(OnClientCommand)
fast galleon

#

which is why sometimes you have to use isServer() if you don't want it to run on the player machine.

#

Tho I don't think client/ runs on the server.

Howdy. Got a question for you all, do any of you know if there is a way to detect if a helicopter event is active? I'm in the process of looking myself, my servers got a few folks who are hard of hearing or deaf, im looking to take advantage of the moodle framework as an indicator for those people, so they know when a Heli is flying over head

bronze yoke
#

the helicopter class isn't exposed so i can't really see any way to judge if it's active or not

#

you could just assume it's active between gametime's getHelicopterStartHour getHelicopterEndHour on getHelicopterDay

formal oasis
#

Yeaaah I just stumbled across that and was considering if it was dumb or not. Ill give that one a try, thanks

bronze yoke
#

it probably won't work with admin spawned helicopters but i don't see any way to actually check the helicopter's state

formal oasis
#

Hmm true. Luckily we don't really go around spawning helis, so it wont be a maassive issue

#

sides, some information for folks will be better then none I reckon

Im having an issue with using
OnCanPerform:HardenSpearCampfireOn,

#

My function is just in a regular file, as follows

function HardenSpearCampfireOn(recipe, playerObj) return true end

am I missing something?

#

Also, how can I get the recipe object to give me a reference to the NearObject IsoObject rather than a string representing the argument defined in the script?

bronze yoke
#

what is the issue?

thorn moat
#

I get a lua error where the function HardenSpearCampfireOn can't be found when its specified as the OnCanPerform parameter of a recipe

bronze yoke
#

what is the filepath of the file containing the function? e.g. media/lua/shared/myfile.lua

thorn moat
#

its in media/lua/server/myfile.txt

bronze yoke
#

it must be a .lua file

thorn moat
#

Ah, duh

#

I looked at other mods, and I overlooked I use the same editor for text and lua files and thats why I messed it up

#

Also is there any kind of importing that has to be done when defining a Moveable, or do you just write the object in a lua file and the game automatically adds it to the building context menus?

bronze yoke
#

the building context menus are like ULTRA hardcoded iirc and crazy annoying to add to

thorn moat
#

So if I want to add an object as a "workstation" or whatever that gives bonuses to recipes crafted at it....?

#

Basically, you can store all your tools at a workstation, and if you do your assembling and disassembling at it you get bonus yields and more xp. I also want to make it a requirement for some recipes as a NearObject

#

Actually, I want to do the same thing generally for other professions like tailoring and first aid. Having designated stations that give bonuses to those skills when you work at them, and rewarding you for organizing your base so that each station has a designated room

#

I have a feeling my life would be easier writing core mods first, doing stuff to change how fluids and structures are handled or imported

i'm new to modding and i felt like making a mod to add a over/under shotgun, right?

Hey everyone. I'm having a small problem getting the profession screen to sort traits in multiplayer. I have the following code that works perfectly from a client lua file in single player:

local ccp = MainScreen.instance.charCreationProfession
CharacterCreationMain.sort(ccp.listboxTrait.items)
CharacterCreationMain.invertSort(ccp.listboxBadTrait.items)
CharacterCreationMain.sort(ccp.listboxTraitSelected.items)

The client file apparently isn't called when creating a player for a server, so I tried this in a server file and shared file. Both fail to declare the variable ccp claiming attempted index: instance of non-table: null at KahluaThread.tableget line:1689. Maybe I'm trying the wrong thing? Does anyone have advice on how to sort traits in multiplayer?

prisma wren
#

i'm still having this issue

        mesh = weapons/firearm/OverUnderCLOSED,

Can I have my mod be configurable through other means than sandbox options? Like, can I add a custom server option or something?

#

I need to have a multiplayer mod be configurable server-side, and I cannot use Sandbox Options

thin hornet
#

You could read/write a file

#

@tardy wren check for getFileReader() and getFileWriter()

fast galleon
#

From a modders perspective, I make it configurable from lua.

Hey! Just reading through the API, if I wanted to get all the ISO objects within 5 tiles of a player, do I need to iterate through them one by one or is there a built in method to do this? Also, if the former is the solution, is there a function that allows me to check if there's an iso object at a given (x,y) value?

thin hornet
#

Sandbox is still my favorite cause it transmit changes

tardy wren
thin hornet
#

yep

tardy wren
thin hornet
#

hum

fast galleon
tardy wren
#

The only reason for that issue I have found is when you install "a butt load" of mods

#

It works with vanilla or only some mods

thin hornet
#

interesting

tardy wren
#

Yes. Our .modded server suffers because players log in and sometimes play with outdated sandbox settings

#

If an admin updates it at runtime, they get transmitted to the players no problem

bronze yoke
#

make clients request the server to do that when they join

tardy wren
#

That action requires an admin client account

#

I tried that

#

I got that part to work by transmitting sandbox options via mod data

tardy wren
bronze yoke
#

oh nightmare

fast galleon
#

for clarity, can you tell if you tried using the SandboxVars?

tardy wren
#

Yes

#

SandboxVars is nothing more than SandboxOptions serialised into a Lua array

#

Afaik

fast galleon
#

and you check them at what stage?

tardy wren
#

I don't remember... I think I send an update request on the first player update

#

I don't check if they're outdated... I just send

bronze yoke
#

you could probably just send the SandboxVars table as is through a servercommand

#

i don't think it has anything weird in there you wouldn't want

#

or would cause issues with servercommand

tardy wren
#

You know... I didn't think of that. I used Eve's odd serialisation method

#

Loading them straight from and into SandboxOptions

bronze yoke
#

i think you would need them into SandboxOptions for them to save (maybe, and not super important they save when you're doing this every join anyway) but i recall seeing a FromLua that might do that

tardy wren
#

I'm thinking of a completely different issue right now, guys. I modified metadata of SandboxOptions.SendToServer() to make the server update its ModData cache of SandboxOptions. That function blocks non-admins and the server from updating the vars through it

#

So I wanted a non-sandbox config option to release that block, cause... Well, it might be a security concern, though lua checksum should handle it

bronze yoke
#

attempted index: instance of non-table: null tells us that not only the object doesn't exist, but the class doesn't exist at all

novel barn
bronze yoke
#

it will hit that code, but so will the server - you can stop that with a not isServer() check but i don't really see any benefit to doing things outside of the client folder

novel barn

Follow up question while I have your attention. I'm really sorry that I can't seem to keep my grubby paws out of your codebase... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ This is the response I was working on right when you posted your response:

Update on this question #mod_development message about sorting traits on the Coop Profession screen. I've determined my first (and maybe only) problem is that my code doesn't even execute. I'm using Albion's Trait sandbox code which can be seen here https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/Zombie-Contagion/blob/develop/Contents/mods/ZContagion_Traits/media/lua/client/zcontagion/traitcode.lua.

I >>think<< this code detects when the sandbox options screen is accessed to add/remove traits as needed. I believe it's handled here on line 3, 5, and 6: If I'm reading this right, Albion saves the old version of the SandboxOptionsScreen.setSandboxVars function and then creates an identical function that will get called instead?

3  local old_setSandboxVars = SandboxOptionsScreen.setSandboxVars
4  ---@param self SandboxOptionsScreen
5  SandboxOptionsScreen.setSandboxVars = function(self)
6    old_setSandboxVars(self)

I tried to do the same thing in my own code, watching for the CoopCharacterCreationProfession page, but I must be doing it super wrong or have completely misunderstood what I'm doing because this doesn't trigger.

local old_CoopCharacterCreationProfession = CoopCharacterCreationProfession.new
CoopCharacterCreationProfession.new = function(self)
    old_CoopCharacterCreationProfession(self)
    print("does this print in the logs?")
end

I'm not getting any errors so I can't really figure out what I should try next.

bronze yoke
#

yeah, that's what it should do

#

i don't know why it's not executing, but it has some major issues if it did:

  • you need to copy all the parameters of the original function and pass them to your copy
  • the original function returns a value, you need to make sure you return the same value (or a replaced value if that's your intent with overriding the function)
#

e.g.

local old_CoopCharacterCreationProfession = CoopCharacterCreationProfession.new
CoopCharacterCreationProfession.new = function(self, x, y, width, height)
    local oldValue = old_CoopCharacterCreationProfession(self, x, y, width, height)
    print("does this print in the logs?")
    return oldValue -- if your extra code all runs before you call the original, you don't need to store the return value in a parameter like this
end
novel barn
#

Ah I see. I just grabbed any function poorly assuming old_CoopCharacterCreationProfession(self) would just... fix all that. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

i wonder if you should hook CharacterCreationProfession.new instead? maybe this one is only used for splitscreen players or something? (otherwise why make it its own class?)

#

this one calls that one anyway, so it would affect both that way

@trim mist it really was as simple as copying his her https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/Zombie-Contagion/blob/develop/Contents/mods/ZContagion_Traits/media/lua/client/zcontagion/traitcode.lua and https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/Zombie-Contagion/blob/develop/Contents/mods/ZContagion_Traits/media/lua/shared/zcontagion/traits.lua files directly into my project and renaming the trait to match my own. I've been staring at this exact code for over a week and I'd be happy to help you get it integrated if Albion somehow isn't around ๐Ÿ™‚

oh wait I just saw that nvm lmao

We should vaguely consider pronoun roles i think

I'm for it

#

or honestly it could just be put in our nicknames

oh shoot. There's a pronouns field in the edit profile page

oh shoot shoot. Albion's pronouns are already set. That's on me then. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

burn ward patient? lmao. That one is brutal

novel barn
#

But I've been working on it so long, HypnoToad already basically reverted it hahaha

bronze yoke
#

with the carrier trait, i literally could not justify any specific price, so i always wanted to make it customisable

#

if it's a positive trait, well it's negative for people around you, so it's not really positive if you're working with other players who don't have it... but if it's negative, well if everyone has it it just means everyone is immune from the mechanic entirely, so it's free points

novel barn
#

With carrier it's value can also really depend on server settings. RP friendly only server is going to have a different value than a shoot on sight server.

oh my god i need to make a setting to have a random chance of having it, maybe even with it being secret...?

I doubt I could help more than albion, but I have been working on my furry traits mod since april, so there might be something I could do

novel barn
#

What pisses me off is that MoreTraits has exactly ONE call to .sort ANYTHING. And somehow it works perfectly. I can't figure out how it works..

trim mist
#

Is the bug present in all kinds of multiplayer? Or just coop

novel barn
#

not sure about coop. I forgot coop even existed. I'll have to test for that next ๐Ÿ’€

bronze yoke
#

nobody remembers co-op...

trim mist
#

does anyone play co-op anymore?

novel barn
#

none of my irl friends will play PZ with me so I don't even play on servers. I just play SP all by myself.

bronze yoke
#

it's funny, i specifically write with co-op in mind, i make sure everything properly supports multiple local players, but i have never for a second tested any of my mods in co-op

#

zombie contagion doesn't work in co-op actually, but the rest are designed to (hopefully) handle it properly

trim mist

#

sure thing! I'm out of town this weekend but I'm happy to help. My career is QA so I feel way more at home testing than writing code.

playing remote play splitscreen with a friend before b41 mp came out is a really great memory so i do hope my mods work co-op

Hi guys, one simple but newbie question here.

I designated a moddata to a player by

mod = getPlayer():getModData()
mod.test = 100

which worked like a charm.
However, I would like to delete this again.
How would I do it? Bit new to Tables functions

bronze yoke
#

mod.test = nil

open drum
#

but won't that still leave with the mod.test?

#

any ways to completely delete the table itself?

bronze yoke
#

no, keys that point to nil are considered 'deleted'

trim mist
open drum
#

ah gotcha

#

perfect. simple and effective

#

thanks for the help

#

also is there any way to bookmark discord msgs???

bronze yoke

bronze yoke

#

novel barn
#

fwiw you can technically chat with yourself on discord by creating a group with just you in it. I use that chat to leave myself notes.

bronze yoke
#

oh i didn't know about that one, that's definitely preferable to making a server

open drum
novel barn
#

but seriously @trim mist I'll check with you on Monday at the latest. I'm treating PZ modding as a full time job/ work experience factory while I'm unemployed. This is an extremely active community with plenty of people willing to help and that allows me to produce "stuff" that I can put on github. Helping QA mods could one day be super useful to mention in interviews if any company would get back to me.

#

Plus, I love this game and hate getting excited about mods and then discovering they melt the game to pieces and don't work.

trim mist
#

Yeah I wish I could bring up this mod in any interviews but uhhhhhhhh

#

I wish I could be there the day Badonn is sitting in an interview reluctant to show off their furry mod, and the interviewers say, "I fucking LOVE that mod!"

bronze yoke
#

i just assume that if a recruiter isn't a furry themselves, they have probably given up on trying to keep furries out by now

novel barn
#

I can see it now on the job posting: "Company XYZ is proud to support diversity and inclusion and we are eager to share that over 50% of our company are furries!"

trim mist
#

^^; if you both are so confident, maybe I could show this off as an example to companies lmao

#

I'm just afraid of being tossed for being a little out there

novel barn
#

If I was interviewing you and you were proud of it, I'd want to see it. Interviewers are people too. But yeah, it does help to read the room. If it was my mod I wouldn't show it to a 70 year old in a suit and tie.

That's wise ngl

#

Though....... sdklskdltksjdtkbg last interview I had

#

Yeah. As long as I'm not being outlandish to that degree maybe I have a shot

I've heard the best way to deal with wild conspiracy theories is to one up them. You don't believe in the moon landing? Psh... look at this silly guy, believing the moon is real...

#

I wish there was a faster way to verify the server login screen. It takes me about 2-3 minutes per test. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

bronze yoke
#

yeah, there's a reason i do almost all of my testing in singleplayer, even for mods that are very multiplayer oriented

trim mist
#

I'm gonna sleep now. Thank you both for the conversation, hope you have a good night and @novel barn hope you find the solution to your mysterious sorting issue hahaha

novel barn
#

I 100% tested everything I could in SP and I was JUST about to push and make it public, and then I spotted my trait in the wrong spot. :/

double checking now

#

server initializing โฐ

bronze yoke
#

the function to sort it should only get called if you went through the sandbox option screen, so it would make sense to me that it doesn't get sorted properly in multiplayer - or even the preset difficulties, though it probably isn't an issue on default settings anyway

novel barn
#

yeah the likelyhood of anyone running into this is so astronomically small.

#

Ok good news

#

I think I found an easier way to get this working besides using reshade, mod and another custom app

#

looks like some earlier reshade versions do continously log preset files for changes

#

so I should be able to get this to work

#

-In game mod detects weather, gameplay, ambient changes
-Adjusts climate. lighting and other settings to be more cinematic
-Mod writes a reshade preset directly to the file
-Since its an earlier reshade version should detect these changes
-Success

I can have a look if you upload your mod somewhere

Could you tell me where I could find the console.txt? (Also I'm not particularly certain on whether or not I upload the mod since its very small and changes like 1 thing)

i don't think they're translated

at least not internally

iirc this method is actually fully hardcoded to accept certain strings anyway

admin, moderator, overseer, gm, observer, none

pulsar rock
#

Another question:

I'm updating / fixing up an existing mod, and they seem to be hooking into the map UI. Just wondering if there's documentation on this / similar things like this / why this isn't done through an event hook. Are they not overriding the original method?

I also added some snippets which I don't fully understand, presumably due to underlying implementation reasons.

function ISWorldMap:onRightMouseUp(x, y)
  if self.symbolsUI:onRightMouseUpMap(x, y) then
    return true
  end
  (...)
  local context = ISContextMenu.get(0, x + self:getAbsoluteX(), y + self:getAbsoluteY())
  (...)
  option = context:addOption(getText("UI_siko_MAPTeleport"), self, self.onTeleport, worldX, worldY)
end

function ISMiniMapInner:onRightMouseUp(x, y)
  if not self.rightMouseDown then return end
  self.rightMouseDown = false
  ...
  if context.numOptions == 1 then
    context:setVisible(false)
  end
end
#

If anyone could give some info on these / provide links to relevant docs, I'd be very thankful!

Oh, I have never overwritten vanilla. If you would rather just change sprite properties I have some scripts.

heady crystal

Yeah that's what I'm doing basically but it'd take quite a while to get all tiles' names to put on a script I think

It works if I just replace the file itself on my PZ folder but I wanted to include it as a mod

Checking the zdoc lua, I find this for the ISWorldMap:onRightMouseUp method.

If you create a mod which also implements this method, does it override it, or "side-load"/add to it?

function ISWorldMap:onRightMouseUp(x, y)
    if self.symbolsUI:onRightMouseUpMap(x, y) then
        return true

        return false
    end
    local playerNum = 0
    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(0)
    if not playerObj then return end -- Debug in main menu
    local context = ISContextMenu.get(playerNum, x + self:getAbsoluteX(), y + self:getAbsoluteY())

    local option = context:addOption("Show Cell Grid", self, function(self) self:setShowCellGrid(not self.showCellGrid) end)
    context:setOptionChecked(option, self.showCellGrid)

    option = context:addOption("Show Tile Grid", self, function(self) self:setShowTileGrid(not self.showTileGrid) end)
    context:setOptionChecked(option, self.showTileGrid)

    self.hideUnvisitedAreas = self.mapAPI:getBoolean("HideUnvisited")
    option = context:addOption("Hide Unvisited Areas", self, function(self) self:setHideUnvisitedAreas(not self.hideUnvisitedAreas) end)
    context:setOptionChecked(option, self.hideUnvisitedAreas)

    option = context:addOption("Isometric", self, function(self) self:setIsometric(not self.isometric) end)
    context:setOptionChecked(option, self.isometric)

    -- DEV: Apply the style again after reloading ISMapDefinitions.lua

On a quick note, is decompiling Zomboid still done through that one Zomboid Decompilation tool on git? Or is there better / easier ways of doing it?

basically everything that exists in the world

Do they all have the same type of moddata in terms of what can be saved?

tardy wren
bronze yoke
#

yeah

#

moddata is just a table

neon bronze
#

No i mean in terms of what can be stored in it

#

As far as i know its mostly strings numbers and bools

tardy wren
#

Well, yes

neon bronze
#

But not like function references?

tardy wren
#

You can store a table inside a table

tardy wren
wet sandal
#

Ask your self if it makes sense to write what you put in to disk and reload it later without losing anything

#

Object references will be lost, but tables can be serialized to text no problem

tardy wren
#

Also it's not just writing to disk. It's adding whole extra data to an object

wet sandal
#

Oh sorry, i was talking about mod data

bronze yoke
#

well, that kind of data *can* be added, it's only writing to and then loading from disk that's the issue - and since that's the main utility of mod data we don't generally make the distinction

tardy wren
#

Speaking of... Mod data can be uploaded to the server and downloaded... How would I make sure that a player doesn't modify a tile that's supposed to be protected by my mod? I would have to overwrite the actions related to those, but there's a delay and disconnect between requesting and downloading mod data... Right?

#

I could request it at the start of the action and check by the end of it...

bronze yoke
#

maybe cache the result of the action until you get confirmation that it's allowed

#

if you can detect that

thin hornet
#

Technically you can store functions and java objects into modData, tho it will not save upon reload. So it's better not to do it. It will stay in ram only and be lost on save and load.

neon bronze
#

So moddata works kinda like a cache for certain types?

bronze yoke
#

moddata works like a table

that isn't in game

it would have a red handle like rick grimes or something

also where are the weapon sprites stored? like for gun icons and such

But youre fine with how vanila machete works in terms of damage/weight/durability

deft plaza

is it in textures?

Sprites are the name of model like you have OverUnder_open, where textures are steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\textures and models are in steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\models_X

and in media>scripts you have text file models_items

and in blender I don't know how to make a good handle

I'm trying to change plant growths in the farming system.

function SFarmingSystem:growPlant(luaObject, nextGrowing, updateNbOfGrow)

This is the function I'm trying to change, but when I enter the game on my server, it throws an error. This is the error:

function: MYFarmingSystem.lua -- file: MYFarmingSystem.lua line # 5 | MOD: MadhousePayment
java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index of non-table

Line 5 is the beginning of the function so this:

function SFarmingSystem:growPlant(luaObject, nextGrowing, updateNbOfGrow)

The script is located in the server/Farming file. When I reload the script in single player, it works as I want, but it doesn't work before. But in Multiplayer it prints the error I showed. What should I do?

bronze yoke
#

your file is loading before the file that creates the SFarmingSystem class

#

wait

#

no that's not possible, i don't know why that's happening - it really only works when you reload?

modern hamlet
#

yes it doesn't work if i don't reload

#

it does not print any error

bronze yoke
#

does your file have a if isClient() then return end at the start? if not the multiplayer error is probably being caused by that

modern hamlet
#

yea i did not add this control

#

I will add it and try again on the server

#

Could it be that the faming system of another mod I used while testing in single player is loading after mine?

Hello! So I am finally back to working on my mods after a long break -- One of the issues with one of my current mods, Everything has a name, which lets you rename items, is that renaming items isn't saved on a server. I assume that renaming an item is only saved client-side and not server-side, which is probably why its reset (?)
How do I ensure that a piece of code is running both serverside and clientside?

bronze yoke
#

it's not that simple - the server and the client are completely separate, you need to send messages between them if you want something client-side to do anything on the server

#

doesn't vanilla have renamable items, do those save?

hollow current
#

I suppose they do

#

Will look into the way they're done server-side. Fingers crossed I should be able to use the same method

pliant smelt
#

Just a question real quick from a small problem I had earlier, but why does the Steam version of PZ creates a Mod folder in the common/ProjectZomboid folder but that mod folder literally doesn't work and requires people to use the "Zomboid" one thats placed in the user folder?

#

It confused the hell out of me and just seems slightly inconvenient, I mean, it creates a mod folder there, it just doesn't look at that at all.

bronze yoke
#

i think listen servers might read from there

#

but they also read from the user folder so i still wouldn't really use it

pliant smelt
#

I see.
anyhow, I'm probably gonna occasionally make mods for this game too since I'm "capable" (like atleast a few years worth of experience) of lua, I was just curious of a potential "first mod" idea so I can get the hang of certain things, I've looked at some docs and explainations on one of those github things but coming up with ideas is somewhat difficult for me.

Alriight so I couldn't find anything related. I created a server command instead, and tried to send it when a user changes a name. To confirm it works, I tried to print the item object -- It doesn't work. Anything I am doign wrong, in particular?

RenameEverything.lua

function ISRenameEverything:onRenameItemClick(button, player, item)
    if button.internal == "OK" then
        if button.parent.entry:getText() and button.parent.entry:getText() ~= "" then
            if instanceof(item, "Moveable") then
                item:getModData().renameEverything_name = button.parent.entry:getText()
                sendServerCommand('RenameEverything', 'changeItemName', {item})
            elseif instanceof(item, "Radio") then
                item:getModData().renameEverything_name = button.parent.entry:getText()
                sendServerCommand('RenameEverything', 'changeItemName', {item})
            else
                item:setName(button.parent.entry:getText());
            end
            local pdata = getPlayerData(player:getPlayerNum());
            pdata.playerInventory:refreshBackpacks();
            pdata.lootInventory:refreshBackpacks();
        end
    end
end```

```lua
RenameEverything_ServerCommands.lua

-- Use the RenameEverything table if it exists, otherwise, create it to hold the different functions that can be called by RenameEverything mod
RenameEverything = RenameEverything or {}

function RenameEverything.changeItemName(item)
    print(item)
    print(item:getModData().renameEverything_name)
end

-- Define the function that will be called when the server receives a command
function OnRenameEverythingCommand(module, command, args)
    -- Check if the module is "RenameEverything" and if the command exists in the table of commands
    if module == 'RenameEverything' and RenameEverything[command] ~= nil then

        -- Call the appropriate function with the provided arguments
        RenameEverything[command](args[1])
    end
end

-- Add the OnRenameEverythingCommand function to the list of functions that will be called when the server receives a command
Events.OnServerCommand.Add(OnRenameEverythingCommand)```

-- and yes im checking for the printed message in the server console, not client-side console

I'm trying to make a gun mod for the first time. Everything was going fine until my gun wasn't appearing in game anymore, is their anyway i can fix it?

bronze yoke
#

they're named after the sender

hollow current
#

ah not server commands?

bronze yoke
#

yeah, pretty much the same syntax, i think OnClientCommand throws an annoying player in the middle of the arguments but other than that it's the same

#

String module, String command, IsoPlayer player, table args,

hollow current
#

alright will try that

bronze yoke
#

@hollow current have you tried just item:setCustomName(true)? it looks like that flags the name to be saved

#

the client is usually authoritative over items so it seemed strange to me to need the server to intervene

trim mist
#

@bronze yoke @novel barn have you had an error like this when trying to put trait costs in sandboxvars?

#

additionally has anyone had an issue with being unable to connect to a server after a while of it being up?

bronze yoke
#

sounds like your getCost overwrite is returning a non-number

trim mist
#

:l

trim mist
hollow current
# bronze yoke <@325476003763716096> have you tried just ``item:setCustomName(true)``? it looks...

haven't really tried that but I think I figured it out. I've been basically storing custom names for moveables and radios instances in moddata, which probably explains they didn't have any issues. Other items, I just used item:setName(). I instead set their name in moddata now and then, when I sent a client command like so:

function RenameEverything.changeItemName(item)
    if isServer() then
        print(item:getModData().renameEverything_name)
    end
end```

It prints the name I just set, so I assume the name is saved serverside now?
trim mist
#

maybe i'm setting up the function improperly? This is more or less a cut-and-paste job from your contagion mod

bronze yoke
#

drop a print or a breakpoint in there, but yeah i don't really see how that could break

bronze yoke
#

i'm curious if a setCustomName call is enough though

hollow current
#

hmm lemme see

#

item.name should return the name that was set and not the actual name of the item ye?

#

or is it getName()

bronze yoke
#

getName(), yeah

hollow current
#

im not sure what's the best way to test this tbh. I am running a local dedicated server. I used

function RenameEverything.changeItemName(item)
    if isServer() then
        print(item:getName())
    end
end``` to get the item's name after I set it clientside using

```lua
else
  item:setName(button.parent.entry:getText());
  sendClientCommand('RenameEverything', 'changeItemName', {item})
end```
#

It's printing the new name. I still didn't even use the setCustomName flag

#

which is rather weird

#

is it setting it BOTH serverside and clientside cause I am running the server?

bronze yoke
#

item property changes should propagate automatically

hollow current
#

@ancient grail yo buddy sup

bronze yoke
#

did i misunderstand your issue? i thought they weren't saving

ancient grail
hollow current
#

According to the comments on the mod's page, they don't save

ancient grail
#

Or do we?

hollow current
bronze yoke
#

(not legal advice) not legally since you aren't redistributing any of their code or assets but it would be nice to ask

trim mist
ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

maybe the default value isn't being read properly

ancient grail
#

Isnt setname enough?

bronze yoke
#

setCustomName seems to set the flag for names to save (as well as a billion over things, in a way that i'm starting to suspect is either a logical error or quick and dirty optimisation)

hollow current
hollow current
ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

what i mean is whether or not setCustomName() is set to true dictates whether about 20 or so other aspects of the item get loaded

hollow current
# 
function ISRenameEverything:onRenameItemClick(button, player, item)
    if button.internal == "OK" then
        if button.parent.entry:getText() and button.parent.entry:getText() ~= "" then
            newName = button.parent.entry:getText()

            if instanceof(item, "Moveable") then
                item:getModData().renameEverything_name = newName
            elseif instanceof(item, "Radio") then
                item:getModData().renameEverything_name = newName
            else
                item:setName(button.parent.entry:getText());
                sendClientCommand('RenameEverything', 'changeItemName', {item})
            end
            local pdata = getPlayerData(player:getPlayerNum());
            pdata.playerInventory:refreshBackpacks();
            pdata.lootInventory:refreshBackpacks();
        end
    end
end```
ancient grail
#

Or when an item gets broken or gets blood or dirt

#

They change the name right

bronze yoke
#

that isn't the case when they're being saved, so it doesn't save disk space, and many of them have their own 'please save this' flags, so it seems like a weird loading optimisation

hollow current
#

hmm

bronze yoke
#

it might be a mistake but it could just be a quick and dirty optimisation

#

do item names save in singleplayer? it seems like they shouldn't without setting the custom name flag

hollow current
#

they do, yea

hollow current
#

Moveables and Radios, containers, and vehicles get their names stored into moddata cause they're rather special cases

#

Other stuff just use :setName()

ancient grail
#

Weird atleast now youve narrowed it down to syncing
Its being reset cuz theres no saved data.. i would suggest storing the name and when player logs in you trigger a function to rename them again

bronze yoke
#

i notice it uses this setCustomName() flag for crafting, notebooks, and food, so it seems likely that is what it's intended for

trim mist
ancient grail
#

Perhaps thats the reason they all have different name setters

Then you have to filter out each itemtype

bronze yoke
#

zombie contagion adds them on game boot iirc

trim mist
#

wait. nvm

hollow current
#

so I am not even sure what is it about others who keep saying the items names are not saving

bronze yoke
#

item properties should be expected to propagate themselves

hollow current
#

I even tried to restart the server

trim mist
# 
local function initAnthroTraits()
...
end
...
Events.OnGameBoot.Add(initAnthroTraits);
bronze yoke
#

have you reproduced the bug yourself?

hollow current
#

no I am not able to, everything seems to be working properly

bronze yoke
#

it sounds like it could be a vanilla issue

#

vanilla doesn't do anything special to synchronise them

#

so maybe these item updates are missed sometimes

ancient grail
#

Then could it be a mod conflict?

hollow current
#

Maybe part of the issue of it not being reproduced is that im running the dedicated server locally? idk

bronze yoke
#

shouldn't make a huge difference unless it's specifically to do with poor connections, the server process is still completely separate

hollow current
bronze yoke
#

i recommend setting the custom name flag, i don't know if it'll fix your issues but i don't even understand how your mod works without it, and vanilla uses it in every case it renames items so it must be (intended to be?) doing something

hollow current
#

Just to extra check I will be setting the customName flag, then calling the client command to set the mod data into it if a server is running, then set the item name according to that moddata

#

that should fix any issues I guess

ancient grail
#

So the situation is

When you log out and relog in it resets right
I want to know what happens if the person transfers it to someone else
Then re log in
Pretty sure it will stay

Or its not even renamed at all when the other player forst recieves it

(Problem is you cant replicate the bug)

bronze yoke
#

yeah, you really can't fix a bug you can't replicate, it might just be freak connection issues

hollow current
#

but again the details aren't clear

bronze yoke
hollow current
#

might have been a case of server restart as well

ancient grail
#

And does it only happen to tuff on their inventory?

Maybe its not saved locally for them
So when they login it gets reset cuz it didnt know his own name cuz of code amnesia

If its only on the inventory
Then

bronze yoke
#

i can't see anything wrong with your sandbox option, but maybe an error in one further up stops the rest of the file from loading?

ancient grail
hollow current
#

I'll just ask them for more details

ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

yeah it might be that item names don't get synchronised immediately or something

#

i suspect whatever the issue is it's a vanilla issue

hollow current
#

ye i just asked for more information before I do any changes to the code

image.png
trim mist
ancient grail
hollow current
#

haahaha ye I am essentially trying to break my code before trying to fix it (well technically its already broken I am just trying to find out which part is broken)

trim mist
ancient grail
#

Im guessing your server has a system that compliments your mod
So it only works on your server
But for the rest they need that thing
Sorta like a dependency

ancient grail
hollow current
#

I am still concerned it might be an issue where I am running a dedicated server locally. Would've tried on an actual dedicated server service -- or some server not run locally, except that it'll utilize the published code and not my local changes

bronze yoke
bronze yoke
#

running locally still runs a completely separate client and server process and follows the same rules for networking

hollow current
#

aah

trim mist
hollow current
#

Okay what if, someone renames an item then logs off, and that item remain in his inventory

#

Technically, when he logs off, that item doesn't exist on the server anymore

trim mist
hollow current
#

so when the server tries to save, it doesn't include the item's name in the save

ancient grail
hollow current
#

so the player relogs with the old name?

ancient grail
#

Ahh your filename

#

Sandbox-Options

#

Maybe

bronze yoke
ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

the server should save the player when they disconnect right

#

otherwise it would never save disconnected players ever?

hollow current
#

hmm ye makes sense

#

ye im too tired to think over this issue. I'll just wait for their reply so I have a clearer picture of what's going on

#

onwards to fixing another buggy mod yay

trim mist
# ancient grail Sandbox-Options

Tried renaming the file to Sandbox-Options.txt, removed the commas between options, and even removed the underscore in option AnthroTraits.BeastOfBurdenCost and tried to print with the new name. All nothing

#

:S why is this misbehaving like this? This is such a weird thing for the game to hang on

hollow current
trim mist
#

It's saying a sandbox option is null when it seems correctly formatted and is being referenced during onGameBoot

bronze yoke
#

it doesn't need to be capitalised

#

i've never even seen it capitalised before, i would've guessed that would break it

trim mist
#

okay, i unrenamed it, and removed all the options, so now it's just this:

bronze yoke
#

oh my god

#

did you just rename the trait or

#

have we been referencing BeastOfBurdenCost as BeastOfBurden**_**Cost this whole time

trim mist
#

yeah I just did lol

#

don't worry lmao

bronze yoke
#

that was frightening LOL

#

you never want the solution to be an easy typo like that

trim mist
#

There's gotta be something basic i'm missing

hollow current
#

can you show me the code where you reference it?

trim mist
#

here's the entire thing. It's in a lua file name AnthroTraitsMainCreationMethods.lua in media/shared/npcs

hollow current
#

I am curious, what happens if you try to call it from another file, say, a function that gets executed while you're ig

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i'm currently going in-game with that copied into one of my mods to see what happens

hollow current
#

My speculation is that the sandbox variable hasn't even initialised yet

bronze yoke
#

i believe so

#

or well

#

i believe it is not initialising because of some error, i know for a fact it should have by now

hollow current
#

btw

require('NPCs/MainCreationMethods');

local function loadTraits()
    local crybaby = TraitFactory.addTrait("Crybaby", getText("UI_trait_crybaby"), -5, getText("UI_trait_crybabydesc"), false, false);
    local volatile = TraitFactory.addTrait("Volatile", getText("UI_trait_volatile"), -10, getText("UI_trait_volatiledesc"), false, false);
    TraitFactory.setMutualExclusive("Crybaby", "Volatile");
    TraitFactory.setMutualExclusive("Desensitized", "Crybaby");
    TraitFactory.setMutualExclusive("Desensitized", "Volatile");
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(loadTraits);```

This is how I handle the traits in one of my mods, its prone to less errors

#

literally the only difference is a newline between version = 1 and the start of the options, but i'm pretty much certain that's optional and i'm pretty sure one version of yours was like that anyway?

hollow current
#

translation = AnthroTraits_BeastOfBurden_Cost

Does it make any difference if the translation file actually exists?

bronze yoke
#

no, i didn't add anything to mine

trim mist
hollow current
#

okay ye im lost there's nothing else I can think of apart from the Sandbox options not being initialised correctly

bronze yoke
#

mine uses spaces, but it didn't convert the tab in yours and it worked

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

have you tried restarting the game?

#

never heard of that ever being necessary but i'm at a loss here

trim mist
#

I've been restarting

#

but hey, I found something interesting

bronze yoke
#

so it's giving up halfway...?

trim mist
#

your sandbox vars get put into an accessible table. If I can find that and see what the entries are in it, maybe I can reference it in a way it likes

bronze yoke
#

have you tried spaces? maybe my ide converts them on save or something

#

oh yeah, sandboxvars is literally just some nested tables

trim mist
#

what

#

none of the _cost options got saved?

bronze yoke
#

that would heavily imply an error with the syntax you wrote them with! unfortunately it worked perfectly for me so ????

hollow current
#

I just tried and it works for me as well

bronze yoke
#

you haven't uploaded your mod to the workshop to test have you? i have issues with it loading the wrong version if i'm subscribed

hollow current

can you just try to extract this into your workshop folder

#

and try to load it

NO

#

OH MY GOD

bronze yoke
#

i'm planning on writing the sandbox option guide later tonight so anything extra that can go wrong is helpful information

trim mist
#

You're an angel for that lmfao

hollow current
#

Best of luck. Always nice to see an updated PZ modding guide

bronze yoke
#

i'm just kind of shocked that i've never seen any documentation at all

#

all the information about them seems to be passed around here or copied from other mods

#

bronze yoke
#

i'm not super into writing guides but i also need this information, same reason i wrote pzeventdoc

You'd expect at least like 20 bucks an hour. A small project is presumably a fair bit more than 5 hours, including testing / quality / refactors based on feedback. Don't even get started on a large project hmm

the degree requirement is just a bit strange in general

My guess i'm missing a piece to tell it to write over the AuthenticZClothing "class"

I'm used to Java more then Lua.

Any guides for making new professions?

check desc for examples

thanks

bronze yoke
#

these are not classes and these files do not execute

#

you can overwrite item definitions this way, but it's much more compatible to edit them after the game loads them using lua

#

otherwise if the original item gets changed, you'll need to update your copy, and two mods that overwrite the same item this way aren't compatible at all

i have no idea how to make one

ok. Is there a Lua IDE of sorts

bronze yoke
#

most people use vscode, i like intellij with the emmylua plugin

quaint rapids
#

ok. I usually use IntelliJ.

i don't even know what that means ๐Ÿ˜…

jaunty marten

calculating weight of code line (helps for optimisation)

#

probably not, intellij isn't really meant to be a lua ide so i wouldn't expect it to have many specialised lua plugins

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ , I am adding a new sprite in game, and I wonder how to make it possible to rotate it. I have south and east pointing directions. Input?

Hi! What event is triggered when the server starts? I need this to initialize my logging system

Should it be "Events.OnServerStarted"? or is there a later event?

Is there any way to save the current state of a map so that when the update hits, I can just reupload the map file to a new game? Raven Creek doesn't work after an update and my server has built a community there that I'd like to keep running
