Though panning is what I wanted, not specific zoom alterations

[warped condor]

So my first look on arsenal mode I see something like this in function:

            if attacker:isAiming() then

                local data1 = "            +"
                local r = 0.0
                local g = 1.0
                local b = 0.0
                local zoom = getCore():getZoom(0)
                local height
                ----------------------------------
                --    FOR RESOLUTION ADJ            --
                ----------------------------------
                local sx = IsoUtils.XToScreen(attacker:getX(), attacker:getY(), attacker:getZ(), 0);
                local sy = IsoUtils.YToScreen(attacker:getX(), attacker:getY(), attacker:getZ(), 0);
                sx = sx - IsoCamera.getOffX() - attacker:getOffsetX();
                sy = sy - IsoCamera.getOffY() - attacker:getOffsetY();
                sy = sy - 82
                sx = sx / zoom - 40
                sy = sy / zoom

            --    DebugSay(3,"X "..tostring(sx).." Y"..tostring(sy).."ZM "..tostring(zoom))

                if        zoom <= 0.25    then    height = 60        -- 24
                elseif    zoom <= 0.375    then    height = 36        -- 10
                elseif    zoom <= 0.5        then    height = 24        -- 8
                elseif    zoom <= 0.625    then    height = 16        -- 4
                elseif    zoom <= 0.75    then    height = 12        -- 4
                elseif    zoom <= 0.875    then    height = 8        -- 2
                elseif    zoom <= 1.0        then    height = 6        -- 2
                elseif    zoom <= 1.125    then    height = 4        -- 2
                elseif    zoom <= 1.25    then    height = 2        -- 0
                else                height = 0
                end

it may lead you somewhere.

[warm vessel]

That's definitely interesting

I'm gonna try to achieve what I want without delving into something like that, but it might come to that xD

thanks for all the help

[bronze yoke]

with empty hands, with an unupgraded rifle, and with a rifle with an 8x scope i was able to achieve exactly the same pan levels

[warm vessel]

f*ck

[warped condor]

I know that when I was using britas/arsenal with x16/and other scopes the camera range* changed to further one.

Arsenal also uses their own DynamicRangeModifier function.

Hoping I can get some help with the above. See the video for a quick explanation

Actual problem description begins at 0:42

[warped condor]

Seems like problem with that bounding as you can see the text is still following the mouse position.

Can't really take a closer look on it rn.

[bronze yoke]

where do lineX, lineY come from?

[trim mist]

local lineY = tooltipPaddingTop;
for i = 1, #tooltipTextTable do
  local lineX = tooltipPaddingLeft;
...
 lineY = lineY + lineSpacing
...
end

as best as I can tell, drawing the text and rect rely on the setX and setYs earlier on in the code. LineX and LineY are just padding, essentially

LineY is a little more important since it tells the tooltip code how much further down to draw a line of text

[warped condor]

I mean the bounding works for the tooltip background, not for text you draw after.

[bronze yoke]

the background seemed like it was going too far too, just not as much

[warped condor]

Yeah but it stops in some point.

[trim mist]

yeah and that's the strangest bit. They've been assigned the same value, why would they stop at different points, and the other not at all?

[mellow frigate]

I guess that: the answer to the problem does not lie in the shown code only. I suggest you do all your computation localy first and then you self:setX and Y and after wards you do everything that uses getX a Y. The logic problem should appear clearly.

[bronze yoke]

yeah, all this redundancy concerns me that something isn't the same and it's just difficult to spot

[warped condor]

I have the same feeling now when remaking the main menu buttons 💀

[mellow frigate]

afterwards, think of a way to call oldRender (maybe like eris_food_expiry mod) or you'll have a very low mod compatibility.

[bronze yoke]

when calculating the position longestLeftTextWidth is used, but during rendering longestTextWidth

what's the difference? is that intended?

[crystal idol]

how much experience did you have? didnt work

[crystal terrace]

I'd say I'm pretty new to this stuff.

[crystal terrace]

little update: i used addItemOnServer and removeItemOnServer , it works. Now i can see the same items on a different client.

i think its safe to say now my mod is compatible with MP as well, i wonder what happens if i just use the above two methods instead of removing/adding items individually to containers. Might try that out see if it works.

[vestal token]

how does making a mod workd

[crystal terrace]

that's a broad question. You can pretty much do a lot of stuff from adding items, interacting with a lot of game mechanics, weather, player stats the list goes on. If you're interested i can share a guide i made on steam that should be enough to give you directions on how to exactly add custom items to game. That could be the start.

[vestal token]

yes please :D

i want more new object in this game

[royal stirrup]

how come there arent front right and front left windows in the vehicle mechanics, even though it should be there???

[crystal terrace]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3006109377 this should get your started for the most part, if you still have questions then feel free to ask around here.

[uneven jay]

i would recomend looking at the code of similar mods or the scripts of the game itself than analyze it

after that watch a bit of tutos ask a bit of questions and you should be set

or atleast thats what i did

[crystal terrace]

this line breaks singleplayer, works fine on MP.

[fast galleon]

I have this line and it doesn't break anything

[neon bronze]

In sp both isClient() and isServer() are false

[crystal terrace]

i had to put this snippet inside if getWorld():getGameMode()==Mulitplayer block

now it works for both MP and SP

It's hard to get your head around how pz handles server client in terms of SP and MP, hopefully it doesnt break anymore. Tested in both modes now.

[glass tartan]

Hiya, can an item serve as a heat source for the purposes of cooking, either as an inventory item or as a worldobject using the "place item" interaction

[fast galleon]

game mode is only accurate after OnInitWorld Event

#mod_development message isClient and isServer return table

[crystal terrace]

OnInitWorld triggers only once in-game tho after a new world is started?

[fast galleon]

no and no

It is when loading a save new or old.

[crystal terrace]

am i good to rely on it to find game mode tho?

[sour island]

There's a parameter check in initworld for newworlds though

[sour island]

You're better off using not isClient()/isServer() tbh

[crystal terrace]

i initially was but this becomes true for SP and just returns

[sour island]

That should return false in SP

[fast galleon]

is it in client folder? if so just remove it.

[crystal terrace]

ye the file is in client folder

should it be in server instead?

[fast galleon]

I can't answer that since I don't know what you're doing.

[crystal terrace]

not isClient() results into true atleast for me.

just transfering items from one container to other

[sour island]

Doesn't isClient/isServer return if the game getCore() is bClient or bServer?

[fast galleon]

he uses not isClient() in client folder, and he needs that for both client and SP?

[sour island]

        @LuaMethod(
            name = "isClient",
            global = true
        )
        public static boolean isClient() {
            return GameClient.bClient;
        }

The isClient and isServer doesn't have anything to do with the client/sever folders

[crystal terrace]

alr

[sour island]

Afaik, the issue stems from how the old MP code ran

So the terms are all the same, but they're unrelated now

[fast galleon]

it does, because servers don't load the client folder

[crystal terrace]

this is where im using this snippet to call transfer goods function which transfers items for reference

[sour island]

Running isServer is /client/ is pointless yes, but you can run isClient is /server/ -- in this case regardless isClient shouldn't be returning true in SP

[fast galleon]

he's using not isClient()... not false equals true

[sour island]

Oh derp

[crystal terrace]

👀

[sour island]

I just woke up lol

[crystal terrace]

does that mean im good to go with gamemode thingy? seems to work out for now unless im missing a big picture.

[sour island]

it should be fine technically, but there's also some finicky stuff with gamemode and exiting to the menu - probably not to be worried about

if you want the code to get blocked in MP the code should have been if isClient() then

including the not flips the boolean check

[fast galleon]

while this code is in client folder, it's safe to remove that check.

[crystal terrace]

so itll be something like if isClient()....then if not isClient() then return?

[fast galleon]

do you want something different to happen for SP and client?

[crystal terrace]

not really same stuff both modes

[fast galleon]

if false then return end or just remove the check

[crystal terrace]

ah i think i understand what you mean, let me try removing the check.

[sour island]

Wait why have the check at all then?

[crystal terrace]

i orginally was working with MP, was very confused with this client and server stuff

[sour island]

If the code is in /client/, it won't ever be ran by the server-side entity

If you don't care about MP or SP, then it's safe to not have a block at all

[crystal terrace]

ah i think i explicitly made sure it doesnt run on server side but it makes sense now. Client stuff wont run on server side, i complicated it way too much.

[sour island]

Unless you're just trying to block the mod in MP and slapping a 'SP only' sticker on it so you don't deal with commenters

[sour island]

Not your fault lol, it can be a doozy - especially with the terms

#mod_development message

I posted a summary of what I found - it's still trips me up a few times anytime I touch MP code

I usually have comments next to the send commands

I wish they named it more explicit for dumbdumbs like me - OnClientToServerCommand

[crystal terrace]

thats a gold mine right there, thank you for sharing.

[sour island]

OnClientCommand only fires in /server/ - so I have to double check that everytime

[crystal terrace]

lol you're not the only one

[sour island]

mod 2 good

efficient brick lol

[crystal terrace]

@sour island @fast galleon Thank you, my 7 holy subscribers send their gratitude

[warped condor]

You just gave me a powerful idea. Time based objectives, if you fail your save will be corrupted.

[glass tartan]

Can inventory and/or placed items (not tiles, like the campfire) function as a heat source (both for warming up and cooking food)? Would it require lua scripting?

[warped condor]

Def you can code that if you have something in inventory your player heat is changing and it requires lua.

[glass tartan]

thanks

How about placed items? would I use the IsoHeatSource script?

[warped condor]

I didn't do anything with making new heat source object yet. so can't really tell.

[icy kelp]

Just wanted to confirm something about map layers. It goes IsoCell > IsoChunk > IsoGridSquare right? And files are saved as IsoChunks in the servers cache folder?

[crystal terrace]

https://youtu.be/_rAPaAdtliw pz is so great for story telling

[sour island]

parkour mod 😮

movement is insanely limited in vanilla - glad tchern and others have added some much needed depth

[crystal terrace]

everything looks perfect, modders are doing great work.

[sour island]

all possible cause of the nifty animation system

[crystal terrace]

is that something introduced in newer pz builds?

[sour island]

in relation to the history of PZ, yeah

it held up development quiet a bit - and has made alot of stuff more feasible since they didn't need to sprite everything from models

players used to be 2D rendered from 3D 😅

Similiar to how corpses are done

[crystal terrace]

ah that's nice, B42 would give us more tools to play with.

[crystal terrace]

i think i heard a discussion about that in #pz_b42_chat way back.

[mellow frigate]

There is also a bunch of writing and considering the rate of scenes changes, they must have spent a crazy amount of time on the video post-prod. I'm also opbiously very happy with the showcase.

[crystal terrace]

ye he's the story telling guy for sure, a lot of work goes into it for sure.

it's also that pz gives you a lot of props to play with, you don't even need zombies in there to tell a good story.

[sleek magnet]

Already looks so cool! Excited to see more progress updates, really impressive stuff.

[uneven jay]

yall know why my item has black and red texture along with why the icon wont load on it

[sour island]

Anyone run into a way to tell if a player is backpedaling?

[crystal terrace]

do you have a ? inplace of icon? Got the naming, location and the way you call it correclty?

[uneven jay]

isnt it supposed to be in textures

[crystal terrace]

textures yes, icon file name should also have prefix item_ and when you call those file in script don't use this prefix

[uneven jay]

oh so im supposed to use item_(instert name)

?

[crystal terrace]

yes

[uneven jay]

so
Icon = item_Upgrade_Kit,
instead of

Icon = Upgrade_Kit,

[crystal terrace]

nah i meant the icon file should be saved as item_Upgrade_Kit and when you call it in script it should be Upgrade_Kit only

[uneven jay]

alr

ill try it

[uneven jay]

how do i fix the texture

bt

w

[crystal terrace]

not sure what you mean by that, can you post a screenshot or something?

[uneven jay]

yeah wait

need to load the test save

alr icon works

my first mod so recycling some stuff

:p

lol the mods name is stuck

from the save

i changed it to backpack upgrades

i thought it would be easier to do

as my first mod

heres the thing btw

[crystal terrace]

not sure what could be wrong here, your texture is not red and white squares i assume?

[uneven jay]

wait i got a question

is static model only for clothes

and where can i find them

cuz idk if thats the right static model for guncase

[crystal terrace]

static model is for when character holds stuff in hand from what ik

[uneven jay]

ah

how can i apply textures to a specific item?

[crystal terrace]

worldstatic is for stuff thats placed in world, i think static models are designed different. Thats a question for #modeling prolly.

[uneven jay]

do i just texture_Upgrade_Kit.png?

[crystal terrace]

are you familiar with uv maps? all 3d models have UV maps based on that you design textures.

[faint jewel]

?

[uneven jay]

not really

[faint jewel]

so the model you have is it yours or an ingame one?

[uneven jay]

in game one im using the gun case

but i wanna apply diff texturew

[faint jewel]

okay and you applied YOUR texture to it?

[uneven jay]

didnt yet to see if it worked at all but i assumed it should have had the normal texture + i didnt really see a texture option

[crystal terrace]

you will need to do model script btw for applying textures to these models after you design textures.

[faint jewel]

okay so i see your item definition... where is your MODEL definition?

[uneven jay]

hm ok

[crystal terrace]

a simple hack if you're using in-game models, you can try to replicate somewhat similiar pattern of texture available in-game that way you don't need to dive too much into uv map and stuff, but i would advise to checkout what is UV map so you get the basic idea to go forward.

[uneven jay]

i have the texture for the gun case

so basicly

i need to rename the texture get the model with that

and put it in models_X?

the texture goes in textures

[crystal terrace]

if your texture is ready, you need model script to define what model you will apply this texture to and what scale you wanna keep of the model etc etc, checkout vanilla /scripts there should be a file with model... in there.

models_X is for 3d models

[uneven jay]

it didnt load its model_items right

[faint jewel]

hold on.

module J'sPackUPGS
{
    item Upgrade_Kit
    {
    DisplayCategory = Material,
    Weight    =    0.5,
    Type    =    Normal,
    DisplayName    =    Upgrade Kit,
    Icon    =    Upgrade_Kit,
    WorldStaticModel = UpgradeKit_Ground,
    }

    model UpgradeKit_Ground
    {
        mesh = WorldItems/Clothing/PlasticLunchBox_Ground,
        texture = clothes/bag/GunCase,
        scale = 0.4,
    }    
}

there.

you can adjust the texture there.

[uneven jay]

thanks

do i just make a clothes folder and put a bag folder in it? @faint jewel

sorry for asking so many questions my first time

[faint jewel]

in your mod folder, yes

change guncase to your png name.

[heady crystal]

Anybody know if it's possible to send a command from a client to another?

[crystal terrace]

you can put a condition in there if you're targeting a particular client?

clientA->server->clientB

[uneven jay]

well im no coding genius neither do i know it very well but maybe try replicating the command and sending the result trough the other client?

[crystal terrace]

but you'd need something to identify, im sure there would be something to differentiate.

[heady crystal]

I got a bit more confused between how client and servers work ever since I found out the folders are useless and stuff lol

[neon bronze]

Not particularly useless

[crystal terrace]

what clients you are targeting btw? is there something specific?

[neon bronze]

Its just that your client is also your server

[heady crystal]

Yeah I wanted to be able to go for a specific player

I am not sure if sendClientCommand sends to everybody or just the server

[crystal terrace]

should be doable then, you send command from one client and check if its player A and then command server to send command for player B

[uneven jay]

small question is the plastic lunchbox model the same model as gun case?

[faint jewel]

nop

[heady crystal]

That's what I was thinking, but this could mess with communications

Sending from player A to server then back to player B all the time

[uneven jay]

alr than

[faint jewel]

steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\models_items.txt

[neon bronze]

Alternatively i would look how trading in mp does it

[uneven jay]

cant i just take the model from the game or do i have to put a replica in my mod folder

[faint jewel]

steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\items*.txt

you dont need to move the model.

just make sure in the model definition you have it pointing to the right model.

[crystal terrace]

i think it would depend on your usecase, that would make things more clear whether this could become problematic.

i tried something like this when i just wanted to update moddata from particular client and then fetch from a particular client.

[bronze yoke]

you have to ping off the server like alphabee says

we can't directly communicate between clients

probably for the best really

[uneven jay]

@faint jewel its kindy a bit unpolished but it works so thank you

[faint jewel]

🙂

[uneven jay]

wait do i need perm from the devs or something? or cna i just use thier assets xd

i was bored so i was reading this stuff

[faint jewel]

no. you are't using their assets

[uneven jay]

ah ok

ah yeah i can

actually does that count

i mean i am kind of editing thier models textures

im overthinking xd

[crystal terrace]

prolly

[uneven jay]

i got a question should i have it like this or mash all of them together

like does it make it harder on other poeples pc like rendering more scripts or just does nothing

[crystal terrace]

i think its safe to mash em together

[uneven jay]

ye its safe but is it required or is it better?

cuz i wanna stay organized but still be in the green zone

[faint jewel]

you can put them all in one file, i RECCOMMEND the items and model be in theri own files.

[crystal terrace]

prolly better to have all relevant stuff together

[warped condor]

I mean you can just always check if player exists.

and return if not on both sides. (About communication issues)

[uneven jay]

alr

[frosty estuary]

So I'm trying to implement a change in the server xp multiplier in certain time periods changing the sandbox var. First try to make this change os server side but apparently the server don't apply and transmit the change for player, now trying on client side, but only work if a admin do the command change, regular players the server blocks due to unauthorized packet (disabling anticheat 8 stop the player from being kicked, but the comand is still blocked). Any way to authorize this comand for regular players ?

    end
    return nil;
end

Mind you, yhe function is getting the index number from the table that it complains is null, which... I don't understand at all

Can confirm the software is legit, I use it as well.

[tardy wren]

Is there any way I can prevent players from selecting any traits on the character creation Menu?

[tawdry moss]

trying to change my mod so it's easier to implement translations, but it feels like no matter what I do I can't get it to show the intended text. theres very little resources i could find for this. any ideas?

after fixing smash and heat not having commas it still doesnt work im genuinely at a loss

[warped condor]

I might be wrong but translation function is hard coded and takes lines from modules that you have in game already, so you need to choose one and add your translation there.

[tawdry moss]

damn

[warped condor]

as it is context menu you can just add it here example

Install_Canister could be any

everything else must stay as it is.

So adding new line, you need to include ContextMenu_ at the start.

so in short, you can't change file name and module name, but you can add your custom translation @tawdry moss

[tawdry moss]

thanks

[warped condor]

You can see every available translation module in lua/shared/Translate/EN

[tawdry moss]

YES

Guys, I'm trying to change the crouch key to none while doing some stuff of my mod and reset to default when done. I managed to make it work but everytime i reload my game i need to rebind the key in the options.
Anyone knows why isn't saving?

[tawdry moss]

maybe have it rebind the key automatically during the OnDisconnect or OnGameStart events

[normal scroll]

can't make it work :/

[tawdry moss]

I’ve never tried anything involving rebinding keys so I don’t know how else to help you there

[normal scroll]

I'm trying

local old_MainOptionsApply = MainOptions.apply

function MainOptions:apply(closeAfter)
    old_MainOptionsApply(self, closeAfter)
    crouchKey = getCore():getKey("Crouch")
end```
and
```getCore():addKeyBinding("Crouch", crouchKey);```
To reset the key to default

Everything works fine, i print the crouchKey and get the correct value. But when i restart the game, the value goes to 0.

[tawdry moss]

Maybe the stored default is reset when the game restarts

[mellow frigate]

MainOptions.saveKeys()

if it does not work as you expect, make your own function that does the same. see 'keys.ini' uses under MainOptions.lua

[normal scroll]

Thanks, i'll try

[mellow frigate]

by the way, is your crawling soldier still raising its leg ? I'm interested in the solution you'll apply

[warped condor]

The solution was to cut his leg off, no need to animate it. (joke)

[normal scroll]

This is trick, i've made an simple transition animation between the poses and kind fixed it. But, if i keep spaming and pressing the keys while in transition then cancels it making the glitch appears

I'm not sure why this happens yet. I've tried to rotate the bones every angle you can imagine. I even tried to reverse the bones position lol

looks like a pain in the a...nimation

Indeed it is. I've spent a lot of time in this.

[wide sierra]

how do I test my mod for errors in the lua debugger in debug mode? I looked at the list and don't see my mod

[crystal terrace]

wym? mods not active ? you cant see your files?

anyone here tried interacting with player body temp before? the amount of variables that goes into temp, is it even possible?

[wide sierra]

i don't see it in the mod list, its active

in the mod list in the lua debugger

[crystal terrace]

dont remember seeing a mod list in debugger, mostly just looked at files and variables.

[young trellis]

Does anybody know of a mod that can essentially allow for say a set area of loot containers actually respawn different than the sandbox settings. For example if I wanted to make a food store respawn more freqeunt to that of the area around it, is there one made already yet?

nvm i figured it out

[hollow pine]

Anyone know a mod that makes plumbing better? Cause needing a water barrel for every water item in a very specific spot for each thing is basically impossible for some buildings

[cosmic moon]

Hey ya'll, I'm making an accessibility mod for a buddy of mine and could use a little advice.
What I have so far:
-Press controller button
-Face closest zombie
-Attack
My problem is that when calling player:AttemptAttack() or player:DoAttack() the player is unable to move while attacking. I've tried setting player:setAttackAnim(true) to go into aiming mode, but it appears the Attempt/DoAttack() doesn't work at all in that mode.
If anyone has any comments, I would really appreciate the wisdom.
Thanks!

[dark wedge]

There is a Sandbox option under Character named "Melee Movement Disruption". Make sure that is disabled, and your character should be able to walk and attack.

[bronze yoke]

even with that enabled you should be able to move

[jaunty marten]

btw u did misstake by using table.remove while iterating same table with ipairs

[tardy wren]

that's.. not my mistake. That's the basegame code

[jaunty marten]

cos with table.remove I'll skip a few key, value pairs

[jaunty marten]

ohhh

wtf

[tardy wren]

But is that why at the end of my table, some of my values were nil?

[jaunty marten]

wdym?

[tardy wren]

but frankly, that code only removes a single item at a time, so...

[tardy wren]

Right, I have managed to get some progress... One sec

function CharacterCreationProfession:mutualyExclusive(trait, bAdd)
    local traitFactory = TraitFactory
    Original_mutualyExclusive(self,trait,bAdd)
    for i, v in pairs(CharacterCreationProfession.instance.listboxTrait.items) do
        print(i,v)
        if v ~= nil then
            local trait = traitFactory.getTrait(v.item:getType())
            if trait:isRemoveInMP() then
                print(trait:getLabel())
                CharacterCreationProfession.instance.listboxTrait:removeItem(trait:getLabel())
            end
        end

    end
    for i, v in pairs(CharacterCreationProfession.instance.listboxBadTrait.items) do
        print(i,v)
        if v ~= nil then
            local trait = traitFactory.getTrait(v.item:getType())
            if trait:isRemoveInMP() then
                print(trait:getLabel())
                CharacterCreationProfession.instance.listboxBadTrait:removeItem(trait:getLabel())
            end
        end
    end
end

I rewrote my addition to be t his

And when I was debug printing the pairs, in my modlist, I had 50 traits in the positive slot, but 4 of them at the end were Nil

One of them was a trait I was trying to remove

Could it be that... my list was shifting under my nose all the time?

[jaunty marten]

by pairs there shouldn't be any v = nil cos in this way they even doesn't exist in this table lul. value = nil => remove from table

[tardy wren]

And yet, at the end, there were a few instances of valid i that had a nil v

I have been shrinking the array I am iterating over...

Thinking about it now, I see where my point of failure could've been

[sour island]

I ran into some issues with pairs and removing things

If I recall my work around was setting them to false, then iterating over it again

Either that or setting the iterator number back 1

[tardy wren]

doing i=i-1?

[sour island]

Let me check on lua.org

[tardy wren]

I remember that with shrinking lists, you should iterate from the back

[sour island]

Yeah doesn't work actually

[tardy wren]

I tried a different approach

But it runs into the error I have stated above

[sour island]

This works but only if you can iterate over the list:

[tardy wren]

Let me try

[sour island]

Oh wait it doesn't work

well

because my test is even/odd

let me change the conditional

Reconfirmed you can do this

But you're also dealing with an array - not a lua table correct?

[tardy wren]

Actually, I'm dealing with a lua table here

The array approach fails completely for some reason

Let me show you

[sour island]

Going backwards also works if you're not comfortable with shifting the key -

And if this is only being done once, I don't think it's worth worrying about table.remove

[tardy wren]

I'm working with Zomboid's UI

Trying to work around an edge case the devs didn't think about

[sour island]

Which is?

[tardy wren]

My profession's trait is mutually exclusive with traits that are set to be deleted in multiplayer

Selecting the profession and deselecting it calls code that re-places the mutually exclusive trait in the trait boxes

[sour island]

ah

Wouldn't it be possible to rerun the process that checks for MP removal?

[tardy wren]

function CharacterCreationProfession:mutualyExclusive(trait, bAdd)
    for i = 0, trait:getMutuallyExclusiveTraits():size() - 1 do
        local exclusiveTrait = trait:getMutuallyExclusiveTraits():get(i);
        exclusiveTrait = TraitFactory.getTrait(exclusiveTrait);
        if exclusiveTrait:isFree() then
            -- nothing
        elseif not bAdd then
            -- remove from our available traits list the exclusive ones
            if exclusiveTrait:getCost() > 0 then
                self.listboxTrait:removeItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel());
            else
                self.listboxBadTrait:removeItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel());
            end
        elseif not self:isTraitExcluded(exclusiveTrait) then
            -- add the previously removed exclusive trait to the available ones
            local newItem = {};
            if exclusiveTrait:getCost() > 0 then
                newItem = self.listboxTrait:addItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel(), exclusiveTrait);
            else
                newItem = self.listboxBadTrait:addItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel(), exclusiveTrait);
            end
            newItem.tooltip = exclusiveTrait:getDescription();
        end
    end
end

this is the code that is bugged

function CharacterCreationProfession:mutualyExclusive(trait,bAdd)
    for i = 0, trait:getMutuallyExclusiveTraits():size() - 1 do
        local exclusiveTrait = trait:getMutuallyExclusiveTraits():get(i);
        exclusiveTrait = TraitFactory.getTrait(exclusiveTrait);
        if exclusiveTrait:isFree() then
            -- nothing
        elseif not bAdd then
            -- remove from our available traits list the exclusive ones
            if exclusiveTrait:getCost() > 0 then
                self.listboxTrait:removeItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel());
            else
                self.listboxBadTrait:removeItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel());
            end
        elseif not self:isTraitExcluded(exclusiveTrait) then
            -- add the previously removed exclusive trait to the available ones
            local newItem = {};
            if not exclusiveTrait:isFree() and ((exclusiveTrait:isRemoveInMP() and not isClient()) or not exclusiveTrait:isRemoveInMP()) then
                if exclusiveTrait:getCost() > 0 then
                    newItem = self.listboxTrait:addItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel(), exclusiveTrait);
                else
                    newItem = self.listboxBadTrait:addItem(exclusiveTrait:getLabel(), exclusiveTrait);
                end
                newItem.tooltip = exclusiveTrait:getDescription();
            end

        end
    end
end

And the nuclear solution of overwriting it whole works

[sour island]

Yeah, would be a good case to do so unfortunately lol

[tardy wren]

But there's concerns for compatibility

So instead I'm trying to iterate over the listboxTrait items to remove any that shouldn't be in MP, after a call to mutualyExclusive

[tardy wren]

Frankly I need to report this to the forum but I think I have a bad track record with one bad report and zero good ones

[sour island]

Going to add it on the comm patch issues list

and take a look at it

[tardy wren]

Thank you

...There's a community patch?

[sour island]

https://github.com/Project-Zomboid-Community-Modding/pz-community-modding/issues/60

Yes and no

I've just been collecting issues that don't really warrant their own mod

but would be nice to fix/deal with

[tardy wren]

Right... And I've made mods to fix singular issues

[sour island]

Yeah lol, my goal is to have a place people can dump those into

if you don't mind a small plug

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2897586564

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2935814754

[sour island]

so it's in 1 place, and not a bunch of mods - as I've written mods consisting of 1 line before to fix stuff and it's kind of silly

[tardy wren]

Fixable back holes is exactly that

and my most popular mod too

over 10k subscribers, oh wow

[sour island]

Well if you ever want to add it on, you'd be very welcome to

[tardy wren]

I'll see if I have time

[sour island]

I wish there was a way to add contributors automatically

[tardy wren]

I have my own holes to fix

[sour island]

The github repo is set to upload automatically to the workshop on a schedule

So it's unmanned

[tardy wren]

Working with albion on StatsApi too... since I kinda needed it

[sour island]

Have you tried recalling CharacterCreationProfession:populateTraitList(list) after?

[uneven jay]

lads do i need to give an oncreate to every recipe?

[sour island]

Nvm this doesn't wipe the list

[tardy wren]

It also ignores mutually exclusive traits

So it would only make my problem worse

[jaunty marten]

to use table.remove correctly with sequence table need to go for i = #tbl, 1, -1 do instead for i = 1, #tbl do

something similar

Insatead iterating over all traits and seeing if they're not multiplayer compliant

I was getting an NRE in a standard library

Went with this

removeItem doesn't do anything if it doesn't find it, so I can try to remove it from both boxes

[uneven jay]

can you guys answer this by any chance?

[sour island]

oncreate is the additional lua function - so no

[tardy wren]

I've been working on this for like 6 hours

[sour island]

You're free to use a copy if you don't want to add a requirement mod

[tardy wren]

Went so bad I scuffed dinner

[sour island]

😦

🫂

[tardy wren]

Thank you

[tardy wren]

I'm sure Eve wouldn't mind but copying is faster...

Is there a way to check for loaded mods? then I can not apply my patch if you do already

Oh, wait

This is almost disastrous

[sour island]

?

[tardy wren]

My traits were removed, and I was testing this in singleplayer

((trait:isRemoveInMP() and not isClient()) or not trait:isRemoveInMP())

There's a reason this check has the additional not trait:isRemoveInMP

a = isRemoveInMP
b = isClient
a && !b || !a

a     b        F
a     !b        T
!a    b        T
!a    !b        T```

[sour island]

that check is for adding them on

[tardy wren]

Excuse my napkin boolean math

[sour island]

If isRemoveMP and not MP then = good, or not isRemoveMP = Good

It's actually a redundant way to check lol

[tardy wren]

So to remove, we just need to check if it's MP and the trait is removed in Mp

[sour island]

yes

[tardy wren]

        if exclusiveTrait:isRemoveInMP() and  isClient() then

[sour island]

But you're saying your traits are getting removed?

[tardy wren]

Yes

Because rn it inverses the isClient

so it treats SP as MP

[sour island]

oh true

mybad lol

[tardy wren]

no worries

I guess mycollege education is finally paying off

After years, one thing I remember

[sour island]

Do you have a github?

I want to check if my upload action still works lol

[tardy wren]

uh, yes

what do you need me to do?

[sour island]

I just need your acc name, I'll add you as a contributor

[tardy wren]

Diakon5

[sour island]

aw I scuffed it, forgot to make it a PR, but added you as a contributor lol

[tardy wren]

lmao, thanks

So, anything I should do?

[sour island]

Nah

the action isn't setup quite right though - So Ill have to figure that out

Fires on PR publish instead of merge :x

[tardy wren]

Oh no

Well, I have no knowledge of CICD systems, as I have only did a presentation about them

[sour island]

I think I fixed it, also added the keyword for hotfixes to the fix and it ran off itself lol

The patch is live 🙂

Pipedream would be a way to automate the changelog for uploads

I know its possible but I'm not that well versed in github action stuff

[uneven jay]

how do you make recipes?

arent you supposed to put it in scripts

im guessing it should look somewhat look like this?

[swift pagoda]

Hey all, does anyone know how to edit the already existing moodles for the game or is that not possible at the moment?

[uneven jay]

yeah let me look at the code

do you want it for mp or sp

[swift pagoda]

Just SP. My own personal mod as it were.

[uneven jay]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\zombie\characters\Moodles

all of it should be there

[swift pagoda]

Ah, okay then. Sooo...no coding or anything like that?

[uneven jay]

u just need to look around for your moodles that u wish to change

btw what drive is pz installed in

than it might be d or idk

rn thats for c

[swift pagoda]

It's identical to what you typed.

[uneven jay]

alr

[swift pagoda]

Sick. Thank you for the info!

[uneven jay]

you still need to install something that supports java from what i know

i recomend getting a java extension for visual studio code

[swift pagoda]

Oh, okay then. I'll see to that later. Thank you!

[uneven jay]

if you need it i can edit it

i already have the java extension installed

[swift pagoda]

Nah, I think I'm good. I'll definitely ask for help if I'm having trouble with it though!

[uneven jay]

alright than

[swift pagoda]

Thank you for the offer though!

Any idea of what might be occurring?

[uneven jay]

first this is for #mod_support
second it might be because that it is incompatable with some other mods
third you need to put it both in mods and workshop so a mistake might have happened there

[normal scroll]

There's just this 2 mods activated, and TchernoLib is required for my mod to work. And I've found that not only my mod is not working in MP but all mods that uses TchernoLib is not loading properly here. There's no mistake in the mod setup, others loaded fine. Now i'll try to find out if is my game problem or something else.

Mod idea: weeping angel zombies

Paired with: they know where you are

[cosmic moon]

@dark wedge Thanks for the reply. I gave it a shot but unfortunately didn't help.
@bronze yoke thanks for confirming that the methods should be working. That lead me to test the mod on my keyboard and it works just fine, suggesting the problem is my joypad setup. I have a few things I can try after work ✌️

Hi everybody! I've been trying to make a female body replacement for a couple of days now and I've had no success. Well, I actually got it to work once but it only worked for once and broke the next time I opened the game. I've been trying replacing it on a new mod, on other replacement mods (using my .fbx instead of the one they come with) and even replacing the file in the game directory. What I get all the time is either a black screen or an invisible body on the character creator. My guess is that I'm doing something wrong when exporting the .fbx from Blender, but probably there's some special installation step I'm missing. I made a working hair mod at least. I haven't found a way of exporting .X files either. I'm only trying to edit the head part so I might just create a head accessory and roll with it, but I'd like to get to the end of this and see why what I'm trying to make doesn't work so I thought I may as well try and ask here. Thanks a lot in advance!

[modern hamlet]

Is it possible to change level 8 tailoring for repairing holes in clothes? I couldn't find the lua side for that.

[cosmic arrow]

lmao this idea made me remember of fallen angels from rec film series

imagine in zomboid where you'll only be able to see/touch some stuff and demons when there's no light

[crystal terrace]

anyone familiar with this thing?

[mellow frigate]

yeah, look for canFullyRestore and addPatch calls to clothing from lua and replace them with your own version

[bronze yoke]

it's the class responsible for spawning items in containers when loading squares

don't really know what the name refers to, maybe it replaced a slower system

[crystal terrace]

ah i got excited, thought maybe ill have the power to load squares👀

[scarlet hornet]

I love the modding community for this game and have a couple of somewhat simple (I think) mod ideas. I want to get started in modding and was wondering where I should start? Other than bettering my knowledge of Lua, of course, I mean zomboid-specfic things.

[neon bronze]

I would start with scripting

Adding items, recipes such stuff will help you with how modding in pz works and interacts with different items

*and editing

[scarlet hornet]

Many thanks

[ancient grail]

You want to replace the model?

[ancient grail]

Recipe is related oncreate ontest
onperform

So youre right you need oncreate for recipe

Java --> lua --> (txt --> png / xml) --> x / fbx

And scripts recipe and similar stuff basically one lua file
The
Recipecode.lua

[solid isle]

Yep, like these "Pear Body Shape" (or something like that) mods I found on the workshop, but instead of changing the body, I only want to edit the head

[bronze yoke]

you do not need an oncreate for every recipe

only recipes that need special functionality need one

[onyx basalt]

Hello, I have a Zumboid server and I need to find a way to pull the information and status of the players like how many zombies he killed, how many hours of game he has, etc. But I need access to this information outside the game, how can I do that?

[warped condor]

player.db and any other depends on what information you need.

[ancient grail]

Right right

What im saying is its just related

[ancient grail]

Yeah and bunch of other connections to that but i dont want to map the whole thing lol
It was just to give idea

Albion is right tho
You can choose not to make a lua file if youre recipe script is simple enough

[warped condor]

@ancient grail I was answering @onyx basalt question.

[onyx basalt]

thx

[ancient grail]

My bad

[bronze yoke]

you can write a server mod to write these stats to a file if you need information that isn't easy to extract from the database

[languid abyss]

does anyone have the jumpscare mod template, so i can add my own sounds

Hey folks, I'd like to extend a backpack mod so that it's got more than one container-slot that acts as backpack. For example a small ammo pouch to resemble one of the bags on the side of the model, another for medic stuff, etc. Is that possible?

[warped condor]

Hate design, took me forever.

[crystal terrace]

mod with ui to check wall health?

[warped condor]

the mod is there already, just adding some new content and probably last till b42

Hey guys, can someone help me please? I installed a few car mods, and no one is spawning on the map. Even after a chunk cleaner.

[warped condor]

The problem with that was when you added new tooltip for option in worldcontextmenu, the rect (black background) is based on your text length and so if the length is less than the value that they put in default, the rect will have default value and that value was making that too long for me, so I needed to change it.

I tried to get it without changing the main function but I failed, so I just hooked my to main one.

[glossy cosmos]

anyone know how you're supposed to interact w/ the vinyl player from the True Music mod?

there's no option for device options

[chrome veldt]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get a solid V1

[crystal terrace]

i think i understand what's going on here, apart from the last bit about hooking it into your main function. Looks great btw, assuming you're managing this mod now? or just doing it for yourself?

[warped condor]

The mod is on workshop already, I'm working on final update to it rn.

guys, how to improve Event stuff:

function zReRAC_GetRecipes(player)

    local zReRACRecFlag1 = 0;
    local zReRACRecFlag2 = 0;
    
    if    getActivatedMods():contains("Swatpack") or                -- SWAT
        getActivatedMods():contains("KPAP") or                    -- KP ARMOR
        getActivatedMods():contains("Brita_2") or                -- BRITA's ARMOR PACK
        getActivatedMods():contains("Dislaik'sClothingPack")    -- DISLAIK CLOTHING PACK
     then zReRACRecFlag1 = 1; else zReRACRecFlag1 = 0;
    end
    
    if    getActivatedMods():contains("ScrapArmor(new version)")    -- SCRAPS ARMOR
     then zReRACRecFlag2 = 1; else zReRACRecFlag2 = 0;
    end
    
    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player)
    
    if zReRACRecFlag1 = 1 then
        if not playerObj:isRecipeKnown("zReRACRecArmorRepair_Part") then
            playerObj:getKnownRecipes():add("zReRACRecArmorRepair_Part");
        end
    end
    
    if zReRACRecFlag2 = 1 then
        if not playerObj:isRecipeKnown("zReRACRecArmorRepair_SCRAPS") then
            playerObj:getKnownRecipes():add("zReRACRecArmorRepair_SCRAPS");
        end
    end
    
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(zReRAC_GetRecipes);
Events.OnCreatePlayer.Add(zReRAC_GetRecipes);

It seems to me that I am not using events correctly...
OnGameBoot ~ OnGameStart
OnCreatePlayer ~ OnCreateLivingCharacter

https://tenor.com/view/sips-tea-drink-stare-gif-15410130

[crystal terrace]

Do you need to trigger both events? Also dont need to pass player to function call

[bronze yoke]

you should prefer OnCreatePlayer to OnCreateLivingCharacter

living character will fire for the main menu character preview

[gloomy adder]

I apologize for bothering you, I saw you have dealt with the transparency problem with clothing before - could you tell me what the problem is, please?

#mod_support

[gentle mountain]

Hey @ancient grail, good to see ya! From a noob to a vet, would my idea be as simple as adding more bags to the backpack, or would I have to dive into Lua?

[ancient grail]

I actually wanted to implement this for a mod. I dont think it can be done without doing something abot hacky

Maybe as the player equip that inventorycontainer we spawn another bag that doesnt have sprite and doesnt show up on the inventory and auto magically equip it (and remove/delete it when player unequips the first item)

[gentle mountain]

That sounds like a good way to go about it, and just about what I'd come up with after rolling this idea through my head a bit. I just got no idea how to implement that.

[crystal terrace]

successful addition of my ugly test map along with zeds, trees, water, two custom buildings and a lot of zeds

[uneven jay]

guys im boutta publish my first mod where do i put the preview.png

[crystal terrace]

should be along in same folder where /Contents and workshop.txt is

[uneven jay]

uh

can u send text that i need to put in the workshop file

xddddd

[crystal terrace]

you can leave it empty i think, just place the boiler text in there for now. Once you write a nice description through steam itll populate itself.

[uneven jay]

bruh

[crystal terrace]

title=PutNameHere
description=This is an example mod with two worlds.  You can use this as a template for your own map mods.
description=
description=The first world has a single 300x300-tile cell.
description=The second world adds cells all around the first world.
tags=
visibility=public```

[crystal terrace]

it should be 256x256 yes

[uneven jay]

it is

[crystal terrace]

well can you show your folder structure

[uneven jay]

u awnt me to just send the whole thing?

so its mods/content/(issertmodname)

and stuff

[crystal terrace]

nope, open the folder where your preview.png is. Take a screenshot which also has its path name.

[uneven jay]

its in contents

C:\Users\A\Zomboid\Workshop\mods\Contents

[crystal terrace]

it hsould be in same folder as /Contents not inside

[uneven jay]

so in mods?

[crystal terrace]

ignore the extra workshop.txt file

[crystal terrace]

all of this would be inside Users/User/ProjectZomboid/Workshop/ModNameHere/

[uneven jay]

wait can i send the mod thru dms and u take a look at it?

cuz me brain no worky

actually can u even send files?

[crystal terrace]

dont send the mod, but you can send screenshot containing different files that way i can look where you placed files.

[crystal terrace]

yes you can

[uneven jay]

your supposed to put it all in mods right?

[uneven jay]

no u cna send zips

but not

folders

[crystal terrace]

ye correct

[uneven jay]

so

Mods
Content (folder)
Workshop.txt
preview.png
Contents
Jesterims Vanilla Bag Upgrades
Jesterims Vanilla Bag Upgrades
scripts and shit

[crystal terrace]

wait why its not in workshop?

[uneven jay]

the mods is in workshop

arent you supposed to put a folder named mods

[crystal terrace]

so like Users/user/ProjectZomboid/Workshop here?

[uneven jay]

yeah

but i put a mods folder

some guy told me that i need to put em in a mods folder

[uneven jay]

ohhhh mods come later

im dumb af

[crystal terrace]

mods folder is for testing stuff

the one in my screenshot is the one you need to make put your modfolder inside

[uneven jay]

OH YEAH

I CAN NOW

thank you

caps

[crystal terrace]

sweet

[uneven jay]

u can use items in mp right

u dont need a server lua or something

cuz i tested the items in sp

[crystal terrace]

oh should be alright i think but can't say for sure. Since i thought the same about my mod then i realized it wasnt the same.

quick tip, if you plan to release future updates. After you're done formatting your description through steam, copy that and save it somewhere. Because each further update of same mod resets the desc text back to normal and it's frustrating doing it again and again.

[uneven jay]

alr than

i think i have a copy in my other folder

yeah

PZ mods

[crystal terrace]

no i mean like after you format stuff, headings/lists etc etc on steam description mod description page. If you plan to format.

like this how it would look after you're done formatting otherwise its just plain text which is uncomfortable to read.

[uneven jay]

ah

it kinda looks a bit bad but its fine ig right?

its my first mod so doesnt matter

lol

aw

[crystal terrace]

looks cool

[uneven jay]

steam makes the pics res go low

i can count the pixels on it

actually its 256x256 but

uhh

anyways

[crystal terrace]

you can add more pictures of using your mod

[uneven jay]

i think i will

like those uh long ones

rn its not very detailed

[crystal terrace]

ye, you should see add images option on the right side

[uneven jay]

yeah i need to get some first tho

how do i even make backpacks look good

[crystal terrace]

or you can put your higher resolution pic there as well

[uneven jay]

i mean is there any good way i can advertise it its basicly the normal vanilla backpacks but with more weight reduction and storage

and like 1 item thats not fully vanilla

[crystal terrace]

then your preview will be only shown on right side of your mod page

[uneven jay]

and thats the texture lmao

[uneven jay]

yeah ik

[crystal terrace]

so your mod improves weight reduction? thats the idea right

[uneven jay]

and storage

it adds 2+ on to the stats on small ones

4-5 on big bags

[crystal terrace]

well you can do side by side comparision with or without mod and put same kind of stuff in there so people would get good reference. Or maybe different items if you wish to.

[uneven jay]

uhh theres this

and a lot of bag recipes

i cant add all on screen but theres like 4 recipes for each bag

[crystal terrace]

the basic idea is same for each bag so i think one image comparing the different would be great, others can be about how to upgrade step by step

[uneven jay]

uhh biggest bag btw

pretty op

[uneven jay]

oh yeah

[crystal terrace]

the top image is what will make most users decide whether they care to even read what's mod about.

[uneven jay]

why didnt i think of that

ill get working on it

[uneven jay]

wait how big is

the thumbnail

[crystal terrace]

i just took screenshots, dont think therers a cap on it.

[uneven jay]

alr than ill just do a big one

[verbal yew]

how about GameBoot or start?

[verbal yew]

i think yep, not sure, but i want add recipe for old and new player

if they already has recipe - do nothing

[uneven jay]

do you guys know how i can add a mod that changes an existing vanilla items properities

[verbal yew]

client side lua

[uneven jay]

no im making a mod

not change it on my side

[verbal yew]

Lord, take this file and put it in your mod in the lua/client folder

[uneven jay]

and then?

[verbal yew]

open and use and following the example, replace the parameters of items with your own

but not change Item type

[uneven jay]

im trying to make it so u can use ice packs to cool off and stuff

not durability

like can i cahnge a peice of the script

to make it something else

so u can both use it on wounds and use it to cool off

[verbal yew]

And, in general, you don’t need to fix the items (or its parameters)

i think u should do recipe for item

with ice pack

[uneven jay]

i want it to melt aswell

[verbal yew]

or for HealthMenu - it's should be stuff for context menu

[uneven jay]

so turn it into a food

so it can melt

[verbal yew]

I guess it's a bad idea

If u change item type - it's remove all changed items

[crystal terrace]

Game boot happens when you're loading the game, like when mods and stuff loads. Game start is after loading the save I believe. Choose what you require, I might not be much help here.

[ornate cape]

guys, how to check working mod or no? i downloaded britas weapon pack but can't find items from this mod, and i don't know work it or no

please help

[verbal yew]

with ARSENAL GUNFIGHTER 2.0?

[ornate cape]

yes

and mod options

[verbal yew]

activate both arsenal or only one?

[ornate cape]

i activated all 3 mods

britas, arsenal, and mod options

[verbal yew]

new arsenal or legacy?

[ornate cape]

i think new arsenal

latest version

[ornate cape]

ouh

i will check it

[sour island]

    @LuaMethod(
        name = "getOrCreateGridSquare"
    )
    public IsoGridSquare getOrCreateGridSquare(double var1, double var3, double var5) {
        IsoGridSquare var7;
        if (GameServer.bServer) {
            var7 = ServerMap.instance.getGridSquare((int)var1, (int)var3, (int)var5);
            if (var7 == null) {
                var7 = IsoGridSquare.getNew(this, (SliceY)null, (int)var1, (int)var3, (int)var5);
                ServerMap.instance.setGridSquare((int)var1, (int)var3, (int)var5, var7);
                this.ConnectNewSquare(var7, true);

            return var7;
        } else {

            }

            return var7;
        }
    }

Anyone know if using this can properly handle modifying/spawning stuff on unloaded squares?

This is a method for IsoCell and seems to 'work' at retrieving a gridSquare - just curious what it's doing with a square outside of it's constraints

Hoping to avoid implementing a farSpawner system again - should have released that API a while back

I recall you made something similar recently? @abstract raptor

I don't see it listed on your workshop

[uneven jay]

yall know how i can make someone cool down and warm up with recipes im making a mod where u can warm up and cooldown

[sour island]

Like the warm up mod?

[abstract raptor]

What exactly you need>

Lemme dig through my files -- I made a Tile Converter that deletes tiles and spawns an item

(or corpse)

(or anything)

(Even cars)

[sour island]

I was just curious if that was released

[uneven jay]

no u use blankets

and ice packets

same idea diffirent execution

[abstract raptor]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991554892

[sour island]

Ah, saw that and didn't register

[uneven jay]

so uhh can u tell me?

[sour island]

Check how that mod does it?

[uneven jay]

uh sure

[uneven jay]

i think its diffirent

tho

it uses animtion

not recipes

for mine im a beginner

u right click on blanket use warm up

u right click on ice pack

u cool down

[cobalt fiber]

Hi people!
My mod is finally out!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014820613

Thanks everyone that helped! especially @bronze yoke with the IntelliJ/EmmyLua help (that was a lifesaver!)

[uneven jay]

oh wait i think there was a diffirent variation of this that i wanted to find

nice

i can just unlock the gates

props to this man

5 stars

me like it

[cobalt fiber]

Thanks bud!

I've put a lot of work on this

[uneven jay]

yes men

[cobalt fiber]

@crystal terrace You maybe wanna take a look on this 😉

[uneven jay]

rating should go thru soon

[crystal terrace]

looks great, i gave on the idea after realizing i was limited to player built double doors only without making something same as automatic doors. Yours look way better anyway, nice work.

[uneven jay]

alpha

u know

how to

controll temp

im trying to make a mod where u can cool down and warm up

with blankets

and ice packets

[crystal terrace]

temp is a complex mechanism wrt to player, there's a lot of variables tied to it. I tried tweaking some stuff but was unsuccessful.

[uneven jay]

aw

[crystal terrace]

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/characters/BodyDamage/Thermoregulator.html

[uneven jay]

what the hell is that

[crystal terrace]

i think this has to do with player body temps, i tried tweaking temps but it would go back to a certain value prolly due to this class. It decides what will be the temp for player i think based on a lot of stuff.

[uneven jay]

me is scared

[crystal terrace]

id like to work on this one prolly later down the road, would require some more understanding of temp mechanism.

[uneven jay]

can u just do -body temp = 50 or smth

lel

[crystal terrace]

you can, itll change for a unit of time and go back to normal again.

[uneven jay]

uhhh

[uneven jay]

yeah thats the thing

its supposed to go back

not set it to a value for a certain time

i want it go down by like 20 or something

or go up by 20

what do i add to the script for that

[crystal terrace]

i dont think itll be useful for what you trying to achieve, but the general idea should be you would need to trigger lua function in your script for something like onConsume or whatever it's called. That would trigger a function say reduceTemp. Now that function would be responsible for temp stuff if you can manage to tweak it for a bit of duration. This is just an idea, personally havent done something like this.

[uneven jay]

yeah ik that but what would be the actual function

also its a recipe

u right click and it shows up y'know

[crystal terrace]

ye meant to say recipe, mb

trying digging through vanilla food items, see if there's any recipe that has something like onconsume or similar method

[uneven jay]

there is no warm up or cool down of foods

thats the thing

[crystal terrace]

that i understand, im suggesting if there's something like onconsume....function then you can use that to call your temp stuff when the item is consumed

[cobalt fiber]

for real, thank you!

[uneven jay]

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah, making mods for Zomboid can be rough

[uneven jay]

hella

i just got into it

[cobalt fiber]

anyway, I appreciate it!

[uneven jay]

even items are kinda hard

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah, lots of syntax and stuff

miss a colon and you're screwed

[uneven jay]

lol

also models

textures and icons arent that hard

(my opinion)

[bronze yoke]

different purposes - ongameboot fires on the main menu when the menu has finished loading, ongamestart fires at the very start of a game that's just been started/loaded (after Click to start)

[cobalt fiber]

didn't try out models yet! (probably will in the future)

[uneven jay]

yeah blender is good and its easy to do since the games graphics are questionable so you dont have to try too hard for it to fit in but

still

its a bit hard to get into in the first place

[uneven jay]

yall wanna check out my first mod? it doesnt look very pretty but uh

it works

so ill post it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014701504&searchtext=jesterim

also steam makes the preview so low res

[cobalt fiber]

saw some guides about it, seems very straightforward, but definitely need skill

[uneven jay]

yeah cuz pz has some very simple graphics u can copy over to your models

[cobalt fiber]

Good work bud! Looks cool!

[uneven jay]

thank u

[cobalt fiber]

I'll try to do some models for the items of my mod

It's currently using existing ones :/

[uneven jay]

yeah same with mine

[tepid flume]

ERROR: module "Base" imports itself... should i not do that in my item script?

[bronze yoke]

if your module is base it doesn't need to import base

it's already base

[tepid flume]

what does base mean

ok i shouldnt

[crystal terrace]

Base refers to vanilla Module, just like you have your scripts inside your module. Vanilla stuff is inside Base module.

[crystal terrace]

wouldnt that cause problems? or it just adds more stuff to base module?

[bronze yoke]

it just adds more stuff, but you shouldn't really do that anyway

the whole point of modules is to keep mods isolated from each other so they don't conflict

[crystal terrace]

yep seems like a bad move.

[tawdry solar]

is that the beornheard font on pixlr

[uneven jay]

look im not good at this stuff

u cannot blame me for it

thats my first mod

idk what to use

[tawdry solar]

nah im not making fun of you

i was just asking

[uneven jay]

yes it is

[tawdry solar]

i knew it

[uneven jay]

[tawdry solar]

ive used that so much

[uneven jay]

lol

[tepid flume]

my weapon model wont show

i hang it up in my back and it does around 15 errors

drop it and the world entities disappear in a radius

and when i equip it the game freezes

[uneven jay]

did you do a special model for it

module Base
{
item Weapon
{
DisplayCategory = Melee,
Weight = 0.5,
Type = Normal,
DisplayName = Melee,
Icon = Weapon,
WorldStaticModel = Weapon,
}

model Weapon
{
    mesh = WorldItems/Clothing/Weapon,
    texture = clothes/bag/Weapon,
    scale = 0.4,
}    

}

that should be somewhat

working

for you

if you tweak it

prob btw

[tepid flume]

i had the model data in a separate text file

Hello.

I'm currently working on a mod called CompanionAI (taking inspiration from Superb Survivors). I'm using the PipeWrench API along with some custom code to create a companion system. The mod is intended to add a survivor companion that helps the player during the apocalypse.

However, I'm facing an issue with the companion not actually moving in the game, even though it reaches its destination. I've implemented the movement logic using the CT_AIController class to control the companion's behavior.

• main.ts file: https://pastebin.com/GhzHkg75
• CT_AIController.ts file: https://pastebin.com/HbtjA4eD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[uneven jay]

sounds complicated

very

[bronze yoke]

you might have more luck asking in the sledgehammer discord

nobody really uses pipewrench afaik

[thorn elk]

Ok, thanks, I'll try that, @bronze yoke.

[bright fog]

So I'm currently looking into a mod's file to see where an item added by it spawns. I found the item in question and the lines defining it but not where it spawns, where could I find this information ? How is it handled in PZ modding ?

[bronze yoke]

there should be a lua file, usually in lua/server/

[bright fog]

ma man doesn't look too organised lol

I'll check those thx

[bronze yoke]

generic file names are very bad

unless it's in a subfolder

[bright fog]

Found it thx

So the folders are important (media/lua etc), but the files in it I would guess are just automatically ran at start up or what ?

How does it work ?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, the lua runs at start up

on a client the server folder is delayed until you actually get into a game (and is not server-only )

[bright fog]

Yeah I guessed it

Alright, now I know I was unlucky for not finding that fucking magazine lol

[hollow pine]

Anyone know the mod that gives you gun racks to place your guns on like an armory?

[vivid imp]

Hi, does anyone know if there is a lua trigger that runs when text inside a notebook is changed?

[ancient grail]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2992690035
also go to #mod_support next time

[crystal terrace]

doubt that's a thing, events are usually for something that can result into an action. Writing stuff in notebook is not something that could lead to any action, you prolly would need to check if notebook data is changed since last time with the help of a trigger every min/10 or a day.

ISUIWriteJournal:onClick(button) when button.internal == 'OK'

[thorny girder]

Yo, hi guys, I need help with my mod, made for car repairs. What I found out is that not in all mod cars, the glove box is registered as a container, in the car config itself, in fact, how to add a glove box to them, as a container that can be dismantled like, say, a hood or doors. In standard cars, everything is fine, it is registered as an object and you can remove it accordingly. Even in some mod cars, where the glove box is registered as a separate container, you can remove it. Examples of mods where it doesn't work:
'67 Cadillac Gage Commando
'69 Chevrolet Camaro
'70 Dodge Challenger

if anyone can help that would be nice

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3006454396

For example, let's take one mod car, and one default car

template = TrunkDoor,
template = Trunk/part/TruckBed,
template = Seat/part/SeatFrontLeft,
template = Seat/part/SeatFrontRight,
template = GloveBox,
template = GasTank,

[fast galleon]

So your issue is to fix the glovebox for these cars or repair the parts? What do you do for repairs, do you add recipes or fixing or ???

[thorny girder]

The essence of repairing the glove compartment, its removal and subsequent repair, then reinstalling it on the car

[fast galleon]

so you uninstall it and then check it's type, is it different type?

If you want to add a glovebox because they didn't then it's best to contact the author.

[thorny girder]

Author of these mod cars I suppose ?

This is how it turned out in default cars
and like in mod cars

[fast galleon]

the '70 glovebox doesn't seem to have an item that can be uninstalled

[thorny girder]

That's exactly what this is about, I suppose this is due to the fact that it is not registered somehow separately in the car config.
Because in another mod machine, alas, I don’t remember which one, the glove box was registered, and dismantling worked there

[vivid imp]

Thank you @mellow frigate I learned something new today.
For future readers, this is an excerpt of what I had to do to override the onClick method of ISUIWriteJournal:

require 'ISUI/ISUIWriteJournal'
local original_ISUIOnClick = ISUIWriteJournal.onClick;

function ISUIWriteJournal:onClick(button)
    original_ISUIOnClick(self, button)

    if button.internal == "OK" then
        print("CLICKED!")
    end
end

I hope it helps

[fast galleon]

they seem to have an itemType in script but they do not load the default template and they do not add install / uninstall tables, you can ask the author about it.

[thorny girder]

I already wrote to him, waiting for a reply

[fast galleon]

you could add a fixing script if he doesn't want it uninstalled and add repairMechanic = true,

[thorny girder]

For now, let's try to ask him to add it like in default cars, but if it doesn't work out, I'll make repairs without removing. Thanks a lot

Hello, I'm trying to make a mod that changes the RunSpeedModifier and CombatSpeedModifier of the clothes, but when I exit the game and log in, the values I changed return to their original state. Is there a way to fix this?

[mellow frigate]

yes, you have to reapply your modification at each reload. I did a similar thing for Recut mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889428155

[modern hamlet]

I see, so i need to add a moddata to item and check it. Thank you.

[gilded hawk]

Oh damn this is such a nice mod! Love it!

[slow granite]

worstweedman has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gilded hawk]

What is the simplest way to hide an item in the ISInventoryPage? There must be a simple way no?

[tame mulch]

Try set name of item to ""

[gilded hawk]

I will, thank you.

[gilded hawk]

Is there a way to force the tooltip of a button to appear without actually hovering it?

I would like to make it so that when I'm dragging an item, it shows the button tooltip by the side of the button.

Test example in the photo

[tame mulch]

Try overwrite render func for this button and add new feature

[gilded hawk]

Alright thank you.

[gilded hawk]

So, I just did something

The size auto adapts to the biggest container name

And now I also want to make it so you can manually resize the buttons bar

Now I Just need to find a way to render a background under the text of button, but above the texture

[gilded hawk]

Sorry, for the ping but I'm not understanding something about the ISButton once an image is set via button:setImage
Is the image stuck at the center of the button? because by looking at the render function ( function ISButton:render()) it looks like it, but I don't know if i'm being dumb or not.

In the mean time, the custom names are working! 🎉

[modern hamlet]

Is it possible to add new lines and colors to item's tooltip?
This didn't work.

item:setTooltip(" <RGB:0,1,0> " .. "Something Amazing" .. " <LINE> ")

[cosmic moon]

Anyone know if there's a way to cancel an attack animation mid swing?

[cobalt fiber]

Another one released!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3015577318
This one was simpler tho, but teached me a lot about hooking into vanilla things

[cobalt fiber]

The <RGB> thing only works on RichText tho, don't know for sure what the game is using on rendering tooltips

[covert carbon]

Does anybody have a number on how many non-canned food exists?

[lethal phoenix]

Hi everyone! This is my first time developing a mod for PZ. I decided to allow for disinfecting wounds using soap and water. Looking at the vanilla code, the only requirement to disinfect wounds is for the item to have an AlcoholPower property > 0. However, I would like to have the player also use a source of water along with the soap. Is it okay to have a script overriding the vanilla medical system check or can anyone suggest a workaround? For example, I don't know if it is possible to alter the soap's AlcoholPower dynamically if water is detected nearby.

[drifting ore]

can someone make a craftable barbed wire fence mod

[iron trellis]

Hello!
I've been wanting to make a mod that changes the zombie sounds, but I have no idea on how to do it.
I tried looking through other mod's files, but I have no idea how to work with the .bank files. Any help, please?

[gilded hawk]

New UI in test development ;D

How can I get the texture/sprite of a tile? 🤔
Like, I want to try and put it in place of the existing icon

I was not expecting this to actually be as pretty as it's coming 😅

[vivid imp]

You're doing a good job man, can't wait to try it when it's finished.

[gilded hawk]

Oh, this is intersting.

I can use the sprite as an icon 🤔

[neon bronze]

Can you rename the floor?

[gilded hawk]

The specific tile on the floor, or just the label for the floor container?

[neon bronze]

The label for the container

Is it not the same container everywhere?

[gilded hawk]

Well, at the moment I did not look into it, but yes, should be possible to rename the floor. Why would you do that though?

[neon bronze]

Why not?

[gilded hawk]

Fair lol

I'm still a bit surprised how much I went from hating making UIs in lua, to being fairly confident with what I'm doing. But I still prefer working with React and css 🤣

i'm thinking about the ability to change the icons per specific container. I think it would be very cool ngl

[neon bronze]

You could maybe make it so that one could change icons for containers?

[gilded hawk]

Yep

[neon bronze]

I dont know if you can get all the containers through the scriptmanager

But if you could then you could make a list with their respective icons like in the tilepicker panel

[gilded hawk]

I want to do better, like, if you have 3 container with 3 different ammo types inside. You can set the container to the have same icon as the ammo type.
Imagine having a specific box for 5.56 ammo, and both the name of the container and the icon will convey that information

[neon bronze]

I was thinking more along the way of mod compatibility with modded in containers

[gilded hawk]

That should be fairly easily, most of my code is written in a way to not be in the way of vanilla and modded code

Also, this work 🎉

[neon bronze]

Does it save through reloads?

[gilded hawk]

Yep

I'm building this feature to be MP proof

[neon bronze]

Do you save tje name to its moddata or does it keep after you renamed it?

[gilded hawk]

I put the custom name in the moddata

And then I replace it on the UI

[neon bronze]

You probably overwritten halve the inventory ui lol

[neon bronze]

Can you also change the name of your backpacks that you wear through it?

[gilded hawk]

Actually no lol, wanna take a peak?

[neon bronze]

Sure

[gilded hawk]

It's just ~100 of code

[storm pecan]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3013901070

is developer of this mod in this Discord? I made a few changes to his mod as a proof of concept.

[gilded hawk]

Finally Done!

I have disabled for now the sprite as icon, but for a first version this is GOOOOOOOD

[vivid imp]

Nice work! Now to add more realism you could make that you need a sheet of paper (which will be removed from inventory), some duct tape and something to write on to add the descriptions. 😉

[gilded hawk]

Thank you, but I won't implement that.

This is part of my casualoid mod, and adding realism is out of scope. This project aims to make the game simpler and more intuitive for the average casual player

[vivid imp]

That's fine I understand

[sleek forum]

Does anyone know how to give a grid square or an object a different color? I've seen some color properties but not sure which one I should look at. I'd like to know if I can change the color of a floor tile for example

as if to highlight something

[gilded hawk]

And the new faster action mod is also working

[short zinc]

my item does not show up in the debug menu ingame any idea what could have gone wrong?

[gilded hawk]

Is your script.txt file correct?

have you checked the console logs?

[short zinc]

well i watched a tutorial so i asume ???
what does correct mean?

im new to modding first time

[gilded hawk]

The script.txt file has to follow a very spefic format, otherwise it won't be loaded by the game

Share the file here

[short zinc]

is that the file you meant?

[gilded hawk]

Yeah

[short zinc]

its just that one thing
my crafting stuff works so its not the mod i asme that file is wrong

[gilded hawk]

Found the erro
