hello!
how your progress?
find way to sync Light in mp?

#

im trying to find method for sync torchlight in mp for attachments slots...

I tryed delete func for enable item from hotbar on client mod side and do it like vanilla method when u push F.

Work for user, but not sync for other.

#

And I found some workaround for Blowtorch.
They create Light source when u use Blowtorch for dismantle etc...

verbal yew
#

and now trying to braincrack how to possible to adapt it...

like:
-it should be on attachments slot;
-it should be with workaround with not Light like vanilla method, because it create two(from vanilla and workaround) light source for user and one(from workaround) for other.
-need stuff only for drainable battery in your attachments slot from event key pressed

something else...

hot void

was looking at the profession codes in game and it confused me anyone got time to explain to ||🥔|| me

hot void
verbal yew
# hot void yeas

not the hardest part.

local your profession (description, number of free point etc)
adding of skills
adding of traits
adding of recipes

#

same stuff for traits

local traits (description, true, false etc)
true false work like -
First - can u peek it trait or its like prof trait (hidden trait)
Second - hidden in mp

#

if u send part of code, then i can explain more, just not remember all stuff

Hey everyone, i'm new to modding for Zomboid and I try to add a function called when a player Disinfect himself a wound or when that wound is disinfected by someone else. I struggle to find the right event that fit best for this case, do you have some hints?

sour island
#

For flares I create a lightsource every tick if the location is different to the previous

verbal yew
sour island
#

Probably not ideal - but I don't think the engine supports creating movable lightsources through exposed methods last I checked

#

What they do let you do is creating a light source and turning it off - it's actually the same lights as the lamps

verbal yew
#

now thats its method not for moveables players...

#

damn...

sour island
#

The light moves with the player using what I did

#

I forget why setting it's xyz doesnt work

#

I think it doesnt update in MP

verbal yew
#

Well, it seems I misunderstood
​

sour island
#

Oh wait I'm mistaken

#

by feeding the previous lightsource into getCell():addLampPost(lightsource) - it updates the position

#

wait nope - mis-mis-read

#

I am actually creating a new lightsource

# 
function eheFlareSystem.processLightSource(flare, x, y, z, active)
    if isServer() then return end
    --print("PROCESS LIGHT -- x"..tostring(x)..", y"..tostring(y)..", z"..tostring(z).." = "..tostring(active))

    ---@type IsoLightSource
    local currentLight = eheFlareSystem.activeLightSources[flare:getID()]
    local ignoreUpdate = currentLight and currentLight:getX()==x and currentLight:getY()==y and currentLight:getZ()==z

    if active==true then
        if ignoreUpdate then return end

        eheFlareSystem.activeLightSources[flare:getID()] = IsoLightSource.new(x, y, z, 200, 0, 0, 4)
        --print("activeLightSources ID:"..tostring(eheFlareSystem.activeLightSources[flare:getID()]))
        getCell():addLamppost(eheFlareSystem.activeLightSources[flare:getID()])
    end

    if currentLight then
        currentLight:setActive(false)
        getCell():removeLamppost(currentLight)
    end

    if active==false then
        flare:setCondition(0)
        flare:setName(getText("IGUI_Spent").." "..flare:getScriptItem():getDisplayName())
    end
end
verbal yew
#

lamp post - its radius light? not cone?

sour island
#

It is radius yeah

#

I would have to check how flashlights are handled for coned lights

verbal yew
sour island
#

That's most likely in java

#

flashlights, light system, vision system - is pretty old

verbal yew
#

Nah... okey... i drop thats idea... Not for my skill level

#

thanks for answer

sour island
#

What are you exactly trying to do?

verbal yew
#

I'm wondering why there are so many candle checks in vanilla when u push F, even from Attachments slots... but Candle cant be attached lol...
but for Flashlight only one

verbal yew
sour island
#

ah

#

there's methods for mp torch stuff

#

they probably didn't sync attached light sources and only handled primary/secondary

#

there are also getters for each setters - so you could technically grab the values and send them over a command

verbal yew
#

i delete script for hotbar from mod, for enable item state.

I try do it for vanilla server side script for enable state from attached slots, but without result...

sour island
# 
   public boolean mpTorchCone;
   public float mpTorchDist;
   public float mpTorchStrength;
#

you can't update players on the server-side you have to transmit

verbal yew
#

understood, but did not implement the idea, alas...

sour island
#

it would probably fix your issue - unless you already fixed it

#

I'm kind of surprised this is an issue at all

#

isoPlayer

   public InventoryItem getActiveLightItem() {
      if (this.rightHandItem != null && this.rightHandItem.isEmittingLight()) {
         return this.rightHandItem;
      } else if (this.leftHandItem != null && this.leftHandItem.isEmittingLight()) {
         return this.leftHandItem;
      } else {
         AttachedItems var1 = this.getAttachedItems();

         for(int var2 = 0; var2 < var1.size(); ++var2) {
            InventoryItem var3 = var1.getItemByIndex(var2);
            if (var3.isEmittingLight()) {
               return var3;
            }
         }

         return null;
      }
   }
#

The game claims to be returning the attached item

verbal yew
sour island
#

My best guess would be whatever they have to update MP sync is not using active light source? Idk

#

I actually can't find uses of the three mpTorch variables

#

so my files might be out of date or it's in the C++ stuff

verbal yew
sour island
#

This is the java code

#

I was trying to find where it updates the flashlight (torch) stuff

verbal yew
#

I feel like a stupid saucepan ahah

sour island
#

I found something else in LightingJNI

#

Seems like it's grabbing the light sources from IsoGameCharacter's methods to update torches

#

I don't see why its not updating attached items though

#

very odd

#

Are these vanilla items that you're attaching?

#

The fact some of the sincere "good idea" comments are getting hundreds of upvotes makes me very concerned

verbal yew
sour island
#

Yeah I can't really see why it's not updating or syncing on MP

verbal yew
sour island
#

I made a poster for hands/feet with visible fingers/toes

#

#

I'm not sure tbh - lights had issues when MP was first relreleased - most notably with car headlights

#

I've also seen weird behavior where when you turn on a flashlight everyone on your end would also get a flashlight cone but only on your end

#

The car stuff was patched - the other thing Idk, the hurdle would most likely be that most people don't use flashlights lol

verbal yew
sour island
#

I know, I was speaking to the average experience, but more so the vanilla experience in testing. I imagine a few things get missed/overlooked.

verbal yew
#

eh...
ok, I'll try using the vanilla method with workaround for blowtorch

#

I can't figure out how to update the zombie textures live after editing its WornItems (clothing). What's the method to do so? I've confirmed that the clothing does update, its just the visuals that dont change with it

#

can we control the max no of items that can spawn in whole map?

sour island
#

I can think of a way - items have a function/method when spawned if I recall

#

Easier to do if the item can only be crafted - but I think there is a method is for anytime it's spawned as well

#

Away from the computer rn

crystal terrace
#

Interesting, i'd like something rare to spawn but there can be only 1 or 2 instances on map at max. OtherWise might have to think of something else.

sour island
#

Well you could always use that API to spawn things on specific squares if you'd like.

#

That'd be a third method - if the on-spawn method isn't what I recalled.

#

You can also tap into onFill to remove extras although that'd be a bit messier

crystal terrace
#

By that API, you items? I can look into items and see if i find anything useful. Idk why i felt like i read somewhere in procedural distributions something related to "max items" that can spawn.

bronze yoke
#

unfortunately an item's OnCreate is fired before the item is added to the container, so you can't delete items during it

#

there's workarounds of course but it'd be awkward

Hey everybody I’m trying to use the tile picker, I got it open, found the tile I want, how do I actually place it?

Does anyone knows how I could change the map buildings draw threshold (like always there no matter the zoom level) ?

polar gyro
#

is there any ways to inject in OnCreate function?
Trying something like that, but nothing works

local oldRecipe_OnCreate_CutAnimal = Recipe.OnCreate.CutAnimal
function Recipe.OnCreate.CutAnimal()

print("Hello")

oldRecipe_OnCreate_CutAnimal(self)

end```
bronze yoke
#

this will cause errors because it doesn't pass the arguments to the original

#

in this context self is nil, recipe functions don't have a concept of self

# 
local oldRecipe_OnCreate_CutAnimal = Recipe.OnCreate.CutAnimal
function Recipe.OnCreate.CutAnimal(...)

    print("Hello")

    oldRecipe_OnCreate_CutAnimal(...)

end
```this can work, or you can write the arguments out manually (which you will probably need if your patch is going to use them)

If someone has an idea of how I could build an image of the full map (not like https://map.projectzomboid.com but more like the in game map, top down view if easier) with all buildings and roads visible it would help me tremendously. I see two ways that don't necessarily appeal me (third one seems easier but I have no idea how for now) which are :

  • Manually zoom & move the in game map to take a screenshot of each "cell" (a cell just being the region visible at the specific zoom level buildings and roads become visible)
  • Make a mod to automatically set the correct zoom and move the map every 2min so I just have to take a screenshot each time
  • Make a mod to change at what zoom the buildings and roads become visible so it always visible no matter the zoom level so I can take a single screenshot of the map
#

Or maybe I'm overthinking it and there is an easy way

#

When trying to adapt the Better Lockpicking mod, I came across the fact that all these functions must be shared by the server

#

If someone in a co-op unlocked something - for someone it often remains not unlocked, or returns to its original state if you move far away.

All questions to the creator Paperclip Lockpicking (～￣▽￣)～
It's basically his code.
The author of the mod didn't wanted to add magazines (or he couldn't). And Better Lockpicking mod has no option to turn off minigames. So I hacked it together in couple of evenings

#

Thx for the tip

#

I'll try to do something about it

verbal yew
storm pecan
#

Ooh)

verbal yew
#

But when I think that without a mini-game it turns into a chance unlock attempt, which does not depend on me, but on skills - in any case, there is some percentage of luck...
All in all, it makes me sad.

storm pecan
#

May be. But while I played with BL (better lockpicking) it often found for myself that its easier to just smash window or dismantle a door than to waiste so many time on mini game.

Quick question.

#

I think you can probably override the UI to simply not be able to add anymore traits after traits count > X

#

That would work around costs

#

Incidentally, I usually allow 1 free point whenever I play (in MP or otherwise) to open up options and not have to take on an added negative trait

Anyone familiar with modInfo multiple requires? is it just require=TargetSquareOnLoad,ZoneAPIChucked

Hey there folks. I sometimes see people asking to pay for mods. Is that a common thing? Are there any people here who make commissioned mods?

I only recently heard about this being a thing, but I'd love to support the modding community (and also get something cool out of it). I tried to get into modding myself, but I just ended up making some reskins.

Learning to mod PZ is a lot of fun (although it can be frustrating at times)

#

i learned basically everything i needed to know from scratch either from this discord, picking apart other mods, or light googling

rich void

PZ players know pain, fr that's why the modding community is so top 🔥

north junco
#

I think it helps to have a clear idea of what you want to do. I've had a wishlist for PZ features for years, but just never managed to get into the modding scene. There's also that feeling of "it all goes to shit when the next update hits anyway" skulking about.

rich void

#

you're in luck, pz updates are like.. never

I don't wanna spam chat too much, but maybe some of you more experienced modders have an idea on whether or not this is feasible to make.

I'd love to have a mod inspired my Michonne from the Walking Dead. She does this thing where she removes the jaw of a zombie, and they just stop trying to bite her. Then she can just pull them along, kind of like a pet.

I was thinking something similar. If a zombie is knocked down, and you have a knife/axe/sharp thing, you could right-click and "pacify" them. Then they'd be harmless, and also not de-spawn from that point on. It wouldn't necessarily have a practical use, but could be neat in role-playing.

More advanced add-ons to that could be having one work as a sort of extra carrying space, or have them following you if you put them on a leash.

Would any part of that be feasible to make through a mod?

fading horizon
#

im not the most veteran modder, but something like that would be pretty insanely hard honestly

#

because you would be literally changing the zombie AI

rich void
#

without making the player litteraly invisible that is ^

fading horizon
#

I could see it working if you could make the player register as invisible to one zombie only maybe

#

but i think the invisibility thing is a global toggle

rich void
fading horizon
#

i don't either

#

that's why i'm not sure if it's feasible honestly

#

I think a more realistic idea for that mod, albeit not as cool would be something as follows

#

instead of pacifying a downed zombie, you can right click a recent corpse to "pacify" it

#

sort of like the autopsy mod

rich void
#

CanAttack
public boolean CanAttack()

fading horizon
#

its not as realistic but if you RP it a bit, it works

rich void
#

could be done in a radius around player

#

getting the zombie instances

fading horizon
#

then you have a zombie model item that's basically a duplicate of the player model

#

it uses a custom body location

#

place it behind the player

#

it will walk exactly in sync with the player, but it will basically be a "walking" zombie behind the player

rich void
#

Spooky

fading horizon
#

you could even make it a backpack lol

#

so you could store the items in it as you had mentioned

#

this idea is definitely not as intricate or as cool as what you described, but I think it's a more realistic rendition of what you could possibly do without too much trouble with PZ mechanics

north junco
#

That's really clever! Thank you guys for the input, I'm happy to get some insight. It is always a bit intimidating to put forward your ideas and thoughts without too much insight into what makes the game tick, so I appreciate the discussion.

I want to add a custom body location item to the default character creation menu.

I'm assuming I do this in ClothingSelectionDefinitions.lua

#

is there a way I can simply add to this table

instead of overwriting this file

#

You could maybe use table insert and overwrite this table

#

get the original first

#

cus this is base game file

I think 👀

I haven't done anything with lua in months at this point. I've just been making models for my hair and accessories and gun mods

north junco
#

Oh! Another thing. I've been working on making an alternate zombie sound pack, but I'm not that familiar with how to make sound mods. Basically just new sounds, maybe some alternate skins.

If I were to provide all material, would it be a lot of trouble putting it together?

#

I wanted to start a new playthrough for halloween, and had this idea of making the zombies look and sound different, for extra creepiness.

#

Someone could accomplish something amazing if they spent a lot of time but most rush it and end up with a choppy asf music override

north junco
#

Oh, I wouldn't want to overwrite music. Just zombie noises.

rich void
#

if u want

#

there's the manual install method too

north junco
#

I'll probably start with the manual install. I tried to get it to work, but I think I just added it to the wrong place.

#

I've been working a lot with sound, and made a whole pack of zombies saying variations of creepy "Hello" noises. I'd love to hear a horde of them.

"feel free to yoink" written in the description, if you ever wanna mess with it, not even lua just a script, mega easy to swap out sounds

rich void
# fading horizon how do I access this table in my lua file and add to it?

At the top of a fresh lua script write

require "Definitions/ClothingSelectionDefinitions"

then you can access the table as if it was a part of your script i.e


function addNewItemsToSelection()
-- Define a new item
local newItem = "base.itemIwantToadd"

-- Use table.insert to add the new item to the "Hat" items array
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Hat.items, newItem)

end

Probably would be fine hooking this onto onGameStart event, I Think

fading horizon
fading horizon
# 
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female, "Amputation_LA")
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA.items, "AmputationsRP.Amp_LA")
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA.chance, 0)
#

this doesn't work

#

basically, my items use a custom body location

#

i'm trying to make them available during character creation without needing to use the "unlock all clothing" option during sandbox creation

rich void
#

Might be worth looking at a mod that does a similar thing, also during the debugging phase make sure you're checking your console in Zomboid folder, to ensure you're definitely accessing the correct table and successfully overwriting it 👌🏻

fading horizon
#

definitely accessing the correct table and such as your method worked for adding it to a base category

rich void
#

ah okay

#

I see you're adding chance

fading horizon
#

do you happen to know of any similar mods? I searched all 400 of mine for a clothingselectiondefinition file and none had one that did something similar

rich void
#

I couldn't figure out what that was about

#

uhmm

fading horizon
rich void
#

I think maybe authentic Z adds more options?

#

could be tripping

fading horizon
#

default table looks like this

#

that's a good idea actually, ill check az

sour island
#

Like Amputation_LA = {}

fading horizon
#

i also tried that to no avail yeah

sour island
#

What was the error?

fading horizon
# 
local amp_LA = {
    chance = 1,
    items = {"Base.Tie_Full"},
}```
#

one sec

#

let me revert to that state and get that error back

sour island
#

No, I mean - in order to insert into it, it needs to exist.

#

I don't even think you should be using insert in this case 🤔

# 
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA = {}
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA.items, "AmputationsRP.Amp_LA")
table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA.chance, 0)
fading horizon
#

what would you propose? I saw PLL has a file called PLLClothingSelectionDefinitions, which is almost the same name and its almost an exact duplicate but i don't know how or where its even loaded

Callframe at: table.insert
function: addNewItemsToSelection -- file: AMPClothingSelectionDefinitions.lua line # 17 | MOD: Amputations
#

line 17 being table.insert(ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA.items, "AmputationsRP.Amp_LA")

#

let me see if just inserting the category itself with no items or chance will work

fast galleon
#

link to our shared mod

fading horizon
#

that's for a profession

sour island
#

ClothingSelectionDefinitions is a keyed table though

fading horizon
#

mine needs to be added to default

sour island
#

insert only handles position and is for iterated tables

#

you're basically defining female[1] = "Amputation_LA"

#

then trying to insert into a key that doesn't exist

fading horizon
#

yeah I see the issue there

#

i don't really see a way around this and I don't know of a similar mod that handles something like it

sour island
#

Does what I wrote not work?

fading horizon
#

maybe an amputee profession is the way to go

#

no, that's the error i showed

sour island
#

Oh

#

cause items and chance don't exist lol

# 
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Amputation_LA = {chance=0, items={"AmputationsRP.Amp_LA"}}
#

Just do this then

#

Also, chance=0 ?

fading horizon
#

i believe chance is the random chance for it to spawn with that

#

like when you first open char select

#

you get a random outfit

#

i don't want people randomly spawning amputated

#

so i figured chance at 0 is best

fast galleon
#

I'm on mobile but that looks good, similar to example from your previous clothing.

#

lets GO

#

thank you so much, Chuck

#

you're amazing and a wonderful help as always

btw, when doing booleans like "player:IsSneezingCoughing()" you have to define what "player" is.

You can add tags to items but more than that you cant and would have to do something in lua

Does it? Ive never tried it

#

You mean like new vars and such?

sour island
#

But you're limited to numbers/strings

#

From what I recall, yes if you include something new

neon bronze
#

How are they stored in item? Is it through moddata.newVar?

sour island
#

yes

# 
                                } else {
                                    String var10000 = var3.trim();
                                    DebugLog.log("adding unknown item param \"" + var10000 + "\" = \"" + var4.trim() + "\"");
                                    if (this.DefaultModData == null) {
                                        this.DefaultModData = LuaManager.platform.newTable();
                                    }

                                    try {
                                        Double var27 = Double.parseDouble(var4.trim());
                                        this.DefaultModData.rawset(var3.trim(), var27);
                                    } catch (Exception var15) {
                                        this.DefaultModData.rawset(var3.trim(), var4);
                                    }
neon bronze
#

Love the naming type

#

Var15, var27, var23

sour island
#

this is de-compiled code

#

While it would be nice if more games adopted a published-source approach (like Barotrauma) I also understand the many reasons why not to

# 
                String[] var2 = var1.split("=");
                String var3 = var2[0].trim();
                String var4 = var2[1].trim();

var3/var1000 in this case is the top half of the split string

neon bronze
#

I agree but it should be kept to place where it matters like say anti-cheat code etc not the part of the code where you add stuff to the item

sour island
#

uhhh

#

I'm fairly certain they don't name their vars this way internally lmao

#

again, this is decompiled code

#

comments/var names are lost

neon bronze
sour island
#

You would need to make the function to grab the other function

#

you can only store strings/numbers this way

neon bronze
#

Also do you know how it would handle multiple instances for the same new entry?

sour island
#

No

neon bronze
#

Does it work with semicolons?

#

Or slashes?

sour island
#

Based on what I can see it's literally A = B, I've never used it.

neon bronze
#

I do know you can have a gun accept multiple types of ammo with / inbetween ammo types

#

Maybe it works this way aswell

sour island
#

That's cause it's parsed for that

#

Again, you'd need to handle all of that

#

I personally don't see much use in this outside of maybe sub-mod/cross-mod-compatability

If I've not set cardModData[0], this if statement will return true.
If I have set it, it also returns true.

What statement would work to check if I've given a variable a value? Or if it exists yet.

image.png
sour island
#

tables start at index 1

#

generally

#

You could technically set 0, -1, -2 as keys but that creates a limbo set of behaviors lol

steep vortex
#

Heck. Thanks. Coming from mostly c++

sour island
#

Yeah most people familiar with arrays/lists/tables do not like Lua's approach

#

which is 'everything is tables'

#

indexes start at 1, but if you define non-numeric keys it changes the tables' behavior

#

A good example would be using #table to grab the size quickly only works if the keys can be iterated over in numeric order

steep vortex
#

Changing it to 1 (and also removing the superfluous not) fixed it.
And, yeah, thanks. Will try to just go look up lua specific questions when it's something basic like that.

sour island
#

Could I ask what cardModData is?

#

There's a few things about ModData that one has to be mindful of as well

#

Going back to the topic of keys, it's usually better to tier your modData into a sub-table rather than pop it into the main modData table

#

As anything using simple names could get overwritten - and using overly complicated keys is just annoying 😅

swift pagoda
#

So, I know I've asked this in the discord before, but how would one go about editing the moodles that are already in-game?

steep vortex
#

It's just being used to store two integers that appear in the tooltip in the inventory but shouldn't be the same for each instance of the item.
Perhaps I'm treating it like an array and that's the wrong move here.

image.png
sour island
#

Yeah, many mods use modData and almost none use numeric keys

#

If you're just trying to grab values and don't need it to iterate at all - you can just define keys

# 
--ModData is a table shared by many mods - so using the main table can get messy
--This defines the sub-table inside of the main modData as either what it currently is, or an empty table
item:getModData().mySpecialModData = item:getModData().mySpecialModData or {}
--This grabs that table
local cardData = item:getModData().mySpecialModData
---You can just define stuff belonging to that table like so
cardData.thing1 = 1
cardData.thing2 = "2"
cardData.thing3 = {}
#

Sorry, removed my personal preference of using [""] just for readability

#

If you need a key to result from a concat or include spaces you can use ["var"] instead of .var

#

But it helps readability imo

#

mySpecialModData should be something fairly unique

#

everything else can be short and sweet

steep vortex
#

Thanks. I'd not considered that moddata would obviously be shared between this and other mods so will look at implementing that.

image.png
sour island
#

I'm surprised more mods don't break modData's more often tbh

#

It would not be that farfetched for someone to use modData for their needs and wipe it for some reason

I've made mod for change car spawn chance.

I've changed it to
VehicleZoneDistribution.parkingstall.vehicles["Base.AMC_bmw_classic"] = {index = -1, spawnChance = SandboxVars.ATSS.AMCbmwclassicparkingstallspawn};
And in sandbox-options same line is
VERSION = 1, option ATSS.AMCbmwclassicparkingstallspawn { page = ATSSAMC, translation = ATSSAMC_AMCbmwclassicparkingstallspawn, type = double, min = 0.00, max = 100.00, default = 3, }

#

It shows like this, with "Translation" of course

so any changes made to them show up automatically without needing to do anything special?

Hi iam trying to give character pain as par of the function:

            player:getBodyDamage():setUnhappynessLevel(player:getBodyDamage():getUnhappynessLevel() - 25)

            player:getStats():setStress(player:getStats():getStress() - 0.20)
            player:getStats():setEndurance(player:getStats():getEndurance() - 0.25)
            player:getStats():setFatigue(player:getStats():getFatigue() + 0.25)
            player:getStats():player:getStats():setPain(player:getStats():getPain() + 10)(player:getStats():getPain() + 10)
            player:Say(getRandomDialogWithMaxIndex(femaleDialogs, #femaleDialogs))
            local 23akce = 23:new(player)
            ISTimedActionQueue.add(23akce)

everything works good exept character is not getting any pain, i also notice in debuger i cannot move pain sliders until character is hurt in some way. Is there some variable i have to set before character can get pain? Also can i break some vannila functionality with this?

it prints out [zombie.inventory.types.Comboitem@3b256153]

#

and i'm oblivious on how to work with it

#

i figured getName or getScriptItem but errors.

it does, it inherits everything InventoryItem has

#

you can basically treat it entirely as an InventoryItem and nothing should really be different

I'm curious if liquid containers will still be their own item type (like bottleOfWater) or just a general object that has a reference to a fluid object that can be mixed in varying amounts

bronze yoke
#

my understanding was they were mixable now, so i would be shocked if that was still a thing

sour island
#

I was just curious about those technical details

#

seeing extraction of solids is promising too

#

Would be fun to have some more traditional sandbox mechanics - even some basic chemistry reactions

#

also with ragdolls being added - I'm curious if the components and wiring up indivdual things will have 3d strings for wires

#

alot of potential with strings and wires having a 3d visual

finally... the whip mod is viable...

Was it not already? lol

bronze yoke
#

unless you can animate weapon models, not really

sour island
#

I was thinking of grapplehooks and other stuff

bronze yoke
#

i was thinking of swapping between a couple models to give some basic impression of animation but decided it just wouldn't work out

#

some 3d projectile code for tossing would be nice too

#

plus i don't think i could really justify it being a particularly great weapon anyway 😅

My personal take is 'good'/'effective' is kind of missing the point to fun

not to mention during the apocalypse one can't be too picky

i just can't imagine it being good at all

I think all items should be able to held and used to bash stuff

for some reason the 25 units of water part in the recipe is gray even when i have 25+ units of water. it still lets me craft it and it takes the water but unless i have a container of 25+ water it will be grayed out. why is this happening?

It works if you have a sink or such nearby?

no, it wont work at all with a sink

#

So the issue is the individual bottles aren't counting their water together for the recipe?

#

can't gas cans be filled with water?

#

I guess not... huh 🤔

thin bronze

the code is this if it helps:
recipe Make Biofuel From Apples
{
Apple = 20,
Water = 25,
CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
destroy EmptyPetrolCan,
Category:Cooking,
NeedToBeLearn:true,
SkillRequired:Cooking=4,
Result:PetrolCan,
Time:1000.0,
}

drifting ore
# thin bronze the code is this if it helps: recipe Make Biofuel From Apples { Apple = ...

You may need to create a function for it so it utilizes multiple items that have water stored. But still unsure how it will work on a recipe.
As I've noticed this on the recipe mod I'm working on.
But I set mine to 10 or below instead which is equivelant to just 1 water bottle or less water units from 1 water item.
OR make a non-replacable water bottle item that can hold 25 units of water. kek

Edit: I dm'ed you a possible working script.

any results ?

good point

no it is still having the same issues. also i was confued in with the lua where i put base.postername i was using the name i used for the .tile but i would asume it needs the name from the scripts i changed that but still same problem

sour island
#

generally recipes require a resulting item

#

you should make it WeDontSmoke1 and leave the oncreate to make the WeDontSmoke2

bronze yoke

the recipe must have a result, it's used for the recipe's icon and stuff

you guys are awesome! i had that thought about the result thing but did not find anything on the wiki stating that specifically so i assumed i could just do oncreate. It is fixed, and in this time i also checked my files integrity and it fixed the model being broken. i was also having issues with another 64 i made not being able to be picked up, but i will check and see if that works now as well, if not i may come back for some assistance. Thank you so much for your time

Hey fellas. I wanted to pick your brain on a mod idea I had.

I was inspired by this mod that makes your character randomly mention things that happen on screen, like when they're barricading, or cooking.

A mumbling/whistling mod.

If your character is in a good mood and has no serious negative moodlets, there could be a small chance that they'll hum or whistle a little tune. Nothing that zombies can hear (for gameplay purposes), but just something immersive for the player.

What do you think?

drifting ore
north junco
#

Yeah, exactly. Could maybe use a sneeze as a reference; a sound that has a chance to trigger under certain conditions.

If we want to keep it gender neutral, we could just have whistles. If mumbles were added, there could be a few tunes recorded by a male and female mumbler.

#

I can picture my desensitized vet whistling "Sweet Caroline", timing the gunshots to the "who-o-oa".

    function gameOption.apply(self)
        local box = self.control
        if box.options[box.selected] then
            getCore():setOptionAimOutline(1)
        end
    end
    self.gameOptions:add(gameOption)

And i want to force player to set it to 1, so "none"

So in getCore():setOptionAimOutline(1), i set it to 1 = none, but its only when player apply any settings

Hello there, am I missing something or is it the translation mechanism for tags that is missing in vanilla ? This starts to be "required" when we wanna make appear in the UI the need for any item having a tag.

verbal yew
mellow frigate
verbal yew
#

we take all items, check tagged like
local Part1
local Part2
etc
if item:HasTag("Hammer") then Part1 = UI_MyModHammer
else Part1 = UI_MyModEmpty
if item:HasTag("CanRemoveBarricade") then Part2 = UI_MyModCanRemoveBarricade
else Part2 = UI_MyModEmpty

part when u show moded ui with text something stuff like
getText(part1+Part2 etc)

#

in locale stuff for UI_MyModEmpty = "",

#

believe this can be improved and integrated into the overall output of the final text

#

just hook when u take tags and doing translate string for tags and compile final text to show it in moded ui

#

or some stuff with _pairs and array of data...

Before I start researching how to do it: Would it be possible to do a "dinner mod"? You click in a table with food/consumables in it. A message pops up: "X players waiting for dinner" and options to Cancel/Eat. When you click eat, every player who joined the table would get a share of all the food who was on the table, and the food would be consumed.

Passing out food to your friends is more immersive

Especially when you fight over who might be getting more food

It may be a cultural thing but i find serving everything, gathering around the table and waiting for everyone to start rather immersive. Also I'm the official chef when I play with friends and it's a nightmare to keep track of who ate what and who has my pots now. Planning the meals is a lot of work.

sour island
#

There may be a field for that already - I'd have to check

verbal yew
sour island
#

You could modify the sprinting XML to have a condition

#

I think trying to pin something in onPlayerUpdate would cause flickering issues

#

You could also mess with on key down to check for sprinting keys

#

But you'd need to check for gamepad too (I think)

#

I think the XML approach would be the least likely to cause issues

#

Also an underated way to mod - being XMLs can be very finicky and not documented.

#

You'd use the setVariable() method to apply variables to the animation system - which the XMLs are listening for

Can sprint sounds like it checks if they can, not sets if they can

verbal yew
sour island
#

I offered 3 possibilities

#

I'm not at a computer for some time - so I can't confirm what canSprint is doing

#

But given what I recall with the speed system alot of it is calculated in realtime

#

You can modify a players speed - but again - it may cause flickering with the animations

verbal yew
#

yeh...

sour island

So I would checkout the XMLs for walking, jogging, etc to see what it's doing when it thinks you're sprinting

mellow frigate
sour island
#

Apply to one side?

verbal yew
sour island
#

Also you were using CanSprint - you tried setSprint?

verbal yew
# sour island Apply to one side?

if setAllowSprint false - u can't sprint - u move like walk or run, but if u try run - then your moveables type stack on run state

#

if setAllowSprint true - it's default player state.

verbal yew
#

not tryed

sour island
#

I don't understand what you mean by movables stack

verbal yew
# sour island I don't understand what you mean by movables stack

if u trying run, when setAllowSprint false, then your movement be only run.
for example.
Character take setAllowSprint false. I can move walk type with S W D A.
If i push ALT + S/W/D/A - it's not turn in sprint - it's turn in RUN state - work fine.
Not pressed any key (stop movement) - player stop - work fine.
Trying walk - push S/W/D/A - player run - that's mean stuck on run state

#

In general - after I do a run - all my movement goes into a run animation.

#

I guess it shouldn't be. In essence, this function should disable the ability to sprint.

#

but they break movement state if this param false

Hi, I feel like I'm missing some really basic syntax error here but the highlighted if statement on line 4 works without a hitch but the if statement on line 11 doesn't return true. They should be checking the same table for the same item type but only one appears to be doing that.
Any idea what the issue is here? I'm worried it's something basic like I missed a space but I've been staring at the same lines for a while.

(in both cases, the options added to the context won't do what they're meant to but I've got them there as it's an easy test to see if the if statement is triggered; the actual use is meant to be on line 22) (also ignore the comment on line 4; that was just a partly copied line to test if it worked there)

#

Also, got the trait thing working 👍

sour island
#

Ah so setAllowSprint seems to be toggling the sprint key then

#

Isnt there an option to have running be toggle vs on press?

#

Again, though, I think your safest option is to check out the XMLs

#

There's a lot more factors to deal with trying to pin stuff on update or key presses

#

The hackiest way to go about it is to equip an invisible item with a run modifier

#

If XMLs don't prove useful

could anyone help

manic relic
#

yes, he did send me to his guide

tardy wren
#

~~kahlua is kicking me in the nuts ~~

sour island
#

The string.byte thing?

tardy wren
#

yes

#

Zomboid claims it doesn't exist

sour island
#

Why do you need to do math on a byte?

#

Zomboid uses an older and modified kahlua

tardy wren
sour island
#

They may have changed or removed it

#

Or it wasn't there to begin with

tardy wren
#

Well, that's fun

#

I need to somehow get numbers out of a string

sour island
#

If you have access to decompiled code you can Ctrl+f around for it or any uses

#

As in tonumber() or getting its bytes?

#

What exactly are you trying to accomplish in the end result?

tardy wren
#

I'm looping through sandbox options, which are a mixture of booleans, numbers, and strings

#

The end result will be that the client will send its calculated value to the server, which will compare it to its own value

#

Then the server will throw its sandbox settings at the client if the numbers don't match

#

......

#

I had a better idea

#

instead of trying to see if the options are the same, we'll check if the server has updated them and somehow the client has them missed

sour island
#

Don't sandbox settings already match the servers regardless?

tardy wren
#

It doesn't do the same thing though... ugh

tardy wren
sour island
#

Ah

tardy wren
#

It breaks... Nobody knows why, but me and Eve fixed it

sour island
#

Too large of a packet maybe?

tardy wren
#

Perhaps... I haven't tested it too thorougly

#

I only did the brute-force transmit over mod data...

sour island
#

Sending a client command when they are changed server side should suffice

#

Ah yeah, the trick would be not sending the entire sandbox list

tardy wren
#

Yes

#

That's what I'm trying to achieve

sour island
#

Im having a bit of an issue with sending a giant table over commands lol

tardy wren
#

not send the entire list and still determine if the client's is off

sour island
#

You could send a partial list of changes made

tardy wren
sour island
#

And just apply them without comparing

tardy wren
#

Hmmm

sour island
#

I'm surprised there isn't a transmit sandbox already

tardy wren
#

Then I'd have to somehow make a list of changes, no?

tardy wren
sour island
#

It only applies changes to admin clients?

sour island
tardy wren
#

No, only admin clients will have their SandboxOptions.instance:sendToServer() respected at all

sour island
#

Oh to send theirs'

#

That's probably for the admin controls for sandbox

#

And this doesn't update all clients?

tardy wren
#

No, it absolutely does

sour island
#

Just the server side and stops?

tardy wren
#

Issue was that clients logging on wouldn't sync their settings to the server's

sour island
#

That feels like a bug

tardy wren
#

Before we continue, I'd like to say I'm trying to solve what feels like a non-issue to me because Evelyn asked me to

sour island
#

What copy of sandbox are they getting when logging in

bronze yoke
#

whatever's saved to their client save for the server

tardy wren
#

They read whatever is stored in their local save, in map_sand.bin file

sour island
#

Pft

tardy wren
#

It is a bug, yes...

#

I've been fixing bugs since I started modding

sour island
#

Yeah I know, just that ones somewhat significant lol

#

So you have a method of sending an update you just can't call on it without an admin present

tardy wren
#

So I made my own

sour island
#

And youre trying to basically have people login and ask for an update

tardy wren
#

That part already works

sour island
#

What you could do is apply a number to players online when changes are sent

tardy wren
#

What evelyn wants is have clients ask every 10 minutes for an update(if there is any)

sour island
#

They login after the fact and that number is less than what it should be

tardy wren
#

Which... I find needless, personally, since once you are in-game, then changes will apply automatically, without issue

sour island
#

Yeah I wouldn't do a cycled approach

#

Flagging stuff as mentioned would suffice

#

What I'm not sure about is where to store that number

#

Could save to a local txt

tardy wren
#

Well, globalModData

sour island
#

I mean for the player

tardy wren
#

same

sour island
#

Oh

tardy wren
#

it's not synced automatically

sour island
#

Like only update if they're online?

bronze yoke
#

just don't network the moddata

#

store it on the client

tardy wren
#

Right now, the mod updates a player's sandbox options when they log in

sour island
#

Oh then you're good?

tardy wren
#

Yes, the entire syncing process already works

sour island
#

Log in and on update seems to cover any possible issues?

tardy wren
#

Yes

sour island
#

But Evelyn wants a timed cycle?

tardy wren
#

Yes, alongside the log-in one

#

Again... I find it... needless

bronze yoke
#

it is needless

sour island
#

Anti cheat maybe?

tardy wren
#

If they want to cheat, they'll make java mods

bronze yoke
#

if they're injecting you've already lost

tardy wren
#

I can only imagine that this would be related to mods changing the settings server-side, and not making an attempt at being multiplayer-compatible

sour island
#

Yeah I'm just not sure why the cycled update would be needed

tardy wren
#

I'm asking her now

#

she's asleep or away

#

But at that point, my mod's store of sandbox data is not up-to-date anyway

sour island
#

Did they say why? Cause I'm fairly certain there's virtually no way to get it done and be low overhead

tardy wren
#

Well, my idea for it to be lower on network overhead was the checksum

#

instead of sending and comparing an entire table, you send two numbers

#

two because I used poor man's Adler-64

#

Anyway, until we solve that issue...

#

I want to create a distillery to make ethanol

#

I think I have figured out a way to make the manual process, with fermenting and cooking... what I want is to make a semi-automated distiller

sour island
#

That I can offer advice on lol

tardy wren
#

Something in the likes of a composter. You put Mash in, you can later get Ethanol out

sour island
#

And my advice would be copy the composter and not generators

#

Update when interacting

tardy wren
#

Yes, I was thinking a composter

sour island
#

Avoid cycled updates etc

tardy wren
#

But isn't Composter defined inside Java?

sour island
#

Which Is ironic

#

I just mean the approach

tardy wren
#

Yeah...

#

If I play the cards right, the hardest part will be making the tiles

#

Because god forbid I create anything that looks half-decent

sour island
#

You could ask in mapping

tardy wren
#

Hah... I'll think of something... I guess time to make some moonshine

faint jewel
#

tiles?

drifting ore
#

Hello! I am looking to try and develop a mod which allows for the spawning of new items when you hit a player with a certain weapon

I know what the code is for spawning new items. I just don't know how to make weapons work 😭

tardy wren
# faint jewel tiles?

Indeed... A fermenter/distiller for moonshine, a composter with a compressor for propane/methane gas... And some unknown device to make biodiesel
