#

Adding vehicles, gear, weapons, etc without needing to do anything advanced, you can just use Notepad++

#

And work with the lua

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

But if you are working with functions that use Java and Lua it’s nice to have access to the library

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:12 AM

#

If you want to do something more advanced like change how something in the game already works.. If it's changing an existing item ingame I think you can use overrides in Lua, but if you wanna for example, make the vehicle physics better, that's a Java thing

#

Yeah, that's true. But IntelliJ has Bytecode decompile, so if you only need to view the decompiled source without changing it, you just need to load the .class in IntelliJ and it'll break it down to bytecode and format it to be readible

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:13 AM

#

i mean i kinda wanna add a repeating crossbow if thats possible. if no one will do it i will. dont care if it has a dedicated model yet i just want it to work

#

ill just make it a grey box for now lol

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:14 AM

#

I definitely think you can do that in Lua

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:14 AM

#

what software do i need to do it in lua? notepad ++

#

where do i get that

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:15 AM

#

It's a free download online

#

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

#

It's the defacto software for any language that doesn't need to compile

#

html, css, js, lua, etc

#

I can't link you to any sort of modding tutorial in lua off the top of my head, but you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one if you search google

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

i feel like all i need to do is make a custom shotgun thats pump action but it shoots custom arrows instead

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

You could remodel the vanilla shotgun

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

My advice then is to find a mod that does something close to what you want to do, and look at how it does it. Since then you've got a reference in lua

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

indigo hearth You could remodel the vanilla shotgun

im thinking that its almost the same thing

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

There is a crossbow mod you can reference

#

Although don’t just use the code straight up and call it yours. I’ve made that mistake before 😰

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

Yeah

#

Just look at how it adds the bolts and weapon and do your own thing with that in mind

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

ok

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

If you're modifying a mod for personal use, iirc, the TOS for Project Zomboid mods covers that and iirc you're completely fine to do so

#

But if you put it on the workshop then you're covered by those tos too

#

I remember some kinda caveat in there that mods that don't explicitely have a license are share-alike

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:22 AM

#

would it be against TOS to take a look at the shogun code in the base game and model it after that

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

Nah I don’t think so considering all mods are using vanilla code for the most part

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

I'm pretty sure that's allowed

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

idk even know how to look at the cross bow mod code. i wouldnt copy i would write it myself but i would need to see how they do it

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

Let me find the tos again

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

or just take a look at the shotgun code in the base game

Project Zomboid - Modding Policy

Hello survivor! Here’s the modding policy for Project Zomboid. Long story short, you can make mods, but must follow the rules below...

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

where is the code for a shotgun

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

Lua code is usually in media

#

But one file could reference files from all over

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:25 AM

#

"4.1. Modification of other users’ workshop submissions is allowed under personal use, but you are NOT allowed to submit work that is not your own, without permission of the mod owner."

#

And modificaiton of PZ's code is A-okay long as you're not subverting copy protection or breaking people's PCs

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:26 AM

#

it wouldnt be modifcation it would be a coder seeing how they do it and writing it themselves based off of someones code, which people do all the time.

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:26 AM

#

Yeah, just saying for reference

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

Speaking of, if I modify my dedicated servers VehicleDistribution, do I need to create a mod? Or can I just manually edit them in the server files

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

As far as my understanding is, you can modify a base game item to add your own thing and distribute that

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

where is guns under in client

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

indigo hearth Speaking of, if I modify my dedicated servers VehicleDistribution, do I need to ...

I have no idea xD

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:27 AM

#

I figure it’s server side so it shouldn’t matter right?

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

zealous pebble where is guns under in client

You gotta look dude

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

ok sorry

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

It's definitely worth checking if the setting already exists, I think it probably does

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:28 AM

#

Looking will help you learn

#

I don’t mean to be rude but it’s very helpful to look through the game files

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:29 AM

#

I do think the game modding experience is 95% staring at someone's else's code and trying to figure out wth is going on

#

And judging them for their rushed game controller support

Using a controller on PZ got me like

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:31 AM

#

I've been working on a mod just to add throttle and brake axis support and automatic switching between keyboard and controller, and I've got the Lua side of it all done and working

#

Can't stand wasd vehicle control. All or nothing throttle and brake is a horrible experience

#

I've got the Java side of it all written, I just need the f***ing thing to compile

I'm building it on top of the Better Vehicle Physics mod, so I've also added individual gear selection

TIME TO BREAKOUT THE G29

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:34 AM

#

Funny you say that, lmfaoo

#

It's a G29 I've got sitting here

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:35 AM

#

I like it, I added my own steering wheel. Ended up getting thrust Master pedals

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

wait

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

And a sweet, sweet shifter

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

The annoying thing is that if I just had my coding environment set up correctly it'd have been a quick, 6 hour edit to an existing file to do what I wanted to do ~~albeit badly~~. But I wanted to add a controller binding system, which I've actually written out

#

I've got the G29 set. WIth the original wheel, optional shifter and original pedals

#

It's not mine but I'm borrowing it

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

zealous pebble im sorry i cant find where the guns are in the files

I think models might be actually reference outside of media

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

But I've spent almost a week every day from 8-10am to 3-7pm trying to get this fricken thing working

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

ok i see isshotgun weapon but that might not help me, how do i find where the modded files are i tried looking but it just gave example stuff

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:37 AM

#

I’m at work so I don’t have my files info front of me

#

Oh you need to go to the steam workshop for PZ

#

So click on PZ from the steam library and there should be a tab that will display the workshop

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:39 AM

#

Like, when I modded Minecraft, it took me 3 days without any modding information to break down the item registration, and set up a system to dynamically register items to the client and server on item creation. Because I followed a tutorial that sorted the gradle stuff out so all I had to do was code

zealous pebble Sep 17, 2023, 1:39 AM

#

yeah and then how do i look in that files

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:40 AM

#

To add axis bindings as an option in Zomboid is genuinely a lot simpler, but because I'm an idiot that doesn't know how to set up a bloody IDE, it's just.. God dammit

I might just switch to eclipse and try to set up my environment in there. For what I want to do I shouldn't need to use storm, since I've already got a decompiled source

#

I spent hours trying to figure out how to do something simple like add rendered text on top of a player’s model while they’re typing

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:42 AM

#

#

That's pretty sick

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:43 AM

#

Yeah but without modifying ISChat.lua

#

Lol your project sounds fucking sick

#

Mine is peanuts 😅

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:44 AM

#

My project was way beyond me and has taken me over 30 hours xD

#

Was tempted to try and contact the peep that made the better vehicle physics mod and to see if they'd take a comm to make the changes I want to make

#

It'd take someone that's already got it set up like, 20 minutes

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:46 AM

#

Aside from vehicle physics what are some instances of mods that would require Java?

#

Something like improved projectiles?

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:46 AM

#

Anything that changes the way something fundamentally works. If you wanted to improve projectile physics, that's definitely a Java thing

#

Though, only to a certain extent

#

Eventually you'll run into the point where the devs have used a library to handle the base physics system

#

And that's written in C and something you can't touch

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:47 AM

#

Makes sense

#

Do you think it would be possible to assign specific areas of maps that would effectively change the result of when a player dies?

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

I honestly wouldn't know. You'd have to look through the source and make sense of how it works

indigo hearth Sep 17, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

Fair enough. I wonder if server options are configurable by areas versus the entire server

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

My experience with PZ's code is a week of trying to do one very specific thing, and I know a little about that one thing and absolutely nothing else

I've tested without image and worked fine.

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

Well, I did it. I set up my eclipse environment correctly and built a modified version of the CarController class

#

Turns out you don't specify zombie as the source for PZ files, you specify the base directory. And for your project, you don't specify src as the base directory but one up from that

#

Probably the same issue I had in IntelliJ

#

Now I'm going to work through the modified file I had earlier with my changes and gradually implement and fix any issues with em

#

..After I take a break and head down to get energy drink

#

@indigo hearth Here's what I did in Eclipse, using the default builder instead of maven or gradle:

Make a folder for your project, inside that folder make a folder called src, and inside that make folders coinciding with the location of the file you want to edit in the game files. IE, ProjectName/src/zombie/core/physics/CarController
Add the base game directory, Project Zomboid as library (steamapps/common/Project Zomboid or something like that). Type, class folder/external class folder
This might be optional, but add all of the .jar files in PZ as libraries
Change your source folder from ProjectName to ProjectName/src, and remove ProjectName as a source
Order them so that your java jdk is first in the build path, library jars are second, PZ is afterwards, and your project is last

#

You'll need to decompile the game to get the file you want to edit in .java format, to do so, make two .cmd scripts (Don't have them in your project folder. Put them where you want your output to be):

contains:
decompile.cmd C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\zombie\ .\decomp
contains:
jdk-19.0.2\bin\java -cp "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2023.2.2\plugins\java-decompiler\lib\java-decompiler.jar" org.jetbrains.java.decompiler.main.decompiler.ConsoleDecompiler -hdc=0 -dgs=1 -rsy=1 -rbr=1 -lit=1 -nls=1 -mpm=60 %*
Change anything such as your jdk location, your game location, and your IDE location according

Then make the folder "decomp" in the same folder you made those scripts in, and run them

#

I don't know if eclipse has a java-decompiler included, so use IntelliJ to decompile it

#

Then run file 2. After that, copy whichever file you want to edit from whereever it is in the PZ decompile, IE, zombie/ui or zombie/core/physics to the same location in your src folder. UI folder under Zombie, etc

#

If anything there doesn't work, I can't help because I just messed with shit for almost 6 hours until it worked

storm hound Sep 17, 2023, 3:24 AM

#

No worries, hope it works for you 👍

#

I missed a few details since I'm recalling from memory, so I added a few things

#

Since you're working from an obfuscated decompilation a lot of the variable names will just be generic "var1" "var2" etc, so you'll have to look at where they're getting their values, and make a note of it or refactor them (Rename all instances and correct the file around the new name)

Nineteen Eighty-Four
Frankenstein
Lord of the rings
Moby Dick
Huckleberry Finn
The Great Gatsby
Charlottes Web
To Kill A mockingbird

What's the difference between an IsoObject's properties and IsoSprite's properties?

#

Both have a getProperties method

#

I have found that I can use the properties to somehow identify an object, but... I'm yet to figure out how I can make my custom tile object and give it properties

#

I've noticed a lot of mods do this to read properties:

    for _,object in ipairs(worldobjects) do
        local square = object:getSquare()
        if square then
            for i=1,square:getObjects():size() do
                local thisObject = square:getObjects():get(i-1)

                local thisSprite = thisObject:getSprite()
                
                if thisSprite ~= nil then
                
                    local properties = thisObject:getSprite():getProperties()```

#

doesn't that work though? Besides the nullchecks

    for k,v in pairs(worldObjects) do
        ---@type IsoObject
        local object = v
        local properties = object:getProperties()

fast galleon Sep 17, 2023, 5:16 PM

the update function is called as frequently as possible, up to the fps cap if there is one

You need to multiply the value based on the time speed. If it's being added per tick effectively. You could also try out the calcstats event which I think cycles faster.

balmy swan Sep 18, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

Ugh. What is causing these attachments to rotate like this when equipped, vs when it's placed on the ground?
The actual mesh positions are good, and in the script files all the rotations are set to 0. If I try to adjust any rotation rotation values it just does the opposite.

Found the answer in case anyone else finds this. You need to have 'Use Space Transform' unticked in blender when exporting the parts

that being said - you can also just not use item tweaker and instead employ the API it is using directly

Item tweaker is grabbing the internal api for scriptmanager and using doparam() on scripts

#

it's just a friendlier wrapper for it

#

I think Dark actually returned recently to update it, unclear if he moved the contents to shared or server from client (as it being in client means only client's scripts change -- very minor issue) - or if the other mod is still causing problems.

indigo hearth Sep 18, 2023, 11:51 PM

Oh like the code. I think most of the multipliers are in media\NPCs. But I could be wrong.

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

I mean I just saw how I could do simple changes with simple mods that utilized ItemTweaker API and I figured it was simple enough for me to take a crack at it

#

instead of just doing the txt file replacement/override/whateveryoucallit mod like I did with my first mod lol

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:52 PM

#

It is simple and easy to use - I'm probably using old information / being overly cautious

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:53 PM

and thus having it be compatible with other mods that modify item stats

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:53 PM

Also any issues you find with IT is because of the other mods - not itself

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:53 PM

#

or not necessarily ig

#

but yea hopefully my mod concept works well

#

wait a second I'm stupid

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

This is the entirety of IT:

if not ItemTweaker then  ItemTweaker = {} end
if not TweakItem then  TweakItem = {} end
if not TweakItemData then  TweakItemData = {} end

--Prep code to make the changes to all item in the TweakItemData table.
function ItemTweaker.tweakItems()
    local item;
    for k,v in pairs(TweakItemData) do 
        for t,y in pairs(v) do 
            item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(k);        
            if item ~= nil then
                item:DoParam(t.." = "..y);
                print(k..": "..t..", "..y);
            end
        end
    end
end

function TweakItem(itemName, itemProperty, propertyValue)
    if not TweakItemData[itemName] then
        TweakItemData[itemName] = {};
    end
    TweakItemData[itemName][itemProperty] = propertyValue;
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(ItemTweaker.tweakItems)

#

My earlier point is that you can just use scriptmanager yourself

#

Also the code is still in the client folder

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

it might've just been easier to create a mod that created a Trait that reduced player damage rather than using IT to change the damage of every single vanilla weapon 🤦‍♂️

#

and it would be future proof

#

how have I not thought of this

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:56 PM

#

You can also use scriptmanager to parse all weapons - but yeah using a trait I guess would make more sense there

#

except for the fact I don't think there's an event to change damage output

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

oh

#

mmm

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

so you'd need to heal zombies onhit

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

I guess that's why something like Anti-Gun Activist from More Traits never actually impacts gun damage directly

#

it just reduces a ton of other stats

#

also this wouldn't work for changing other stats like weapon range

#

welp that's how it goes

#

gonna continue on

sour island Sep 18, 2023, 11:59 PM

why wouldnt this work for range?

boreal rose Sep 18, 2023, 11:59 PM

uh

#

at this point I don't know how to do it

sour island Sep 19, 2023, 12:00 AM

just use doparam

#

or use item tweaker if you're not sure

boreal rose Sep 19, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

yeah

eventually you can come back to it to improve your mod

boreal rose Sep 19, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

I'm doing item tweaker

sour island Sep 19, 2023, 12:02 AM

#

And for anyone reading and is curious what issues can stem from having script changes in /client/ - server distros account for weight in their loot placement -- having the scripts changed in client code means the changes don't occur on server and the item will be using the vanilla weight.

#

On top of trying to compare script values between clients/server -- I also ran into an issue with shops not being able to match categories with BetterSorting

#

I had to write a silly workaround for that where the client sends their script values over

boreal rose Sep 19, 2023, 12:03 AM

#

I suppose I just gotta get this mod done first
Optimizations in code can happen later, but get the base concept done first

#

now that I think about it I'm making this purely for my own playthrough lmao

nova socket Sep 19, 2023, 12:08 AM

#

That some weirdfuckness over here, just listen.

sendClientCommand(player, "IShops", "locateShops", {}); -- First call
sendClientCommand(player, "IShops", "requestShopTable", {}); -- Second call

Server has one function attached to event for both cases. Both client commands are called from addOption of context and literally is a copypaste of each other in context of code. First one trigger event, second one doesn't (not even print in first line shows up). But when I run this manually it works.

I'm an idiot, rubber duck thank you.

Periodically as in unpredictably. I wouldn't say randomly because there has to be be an underlying issue. I say ANY recipe because it doesnt matter what the end product is or what the ingredients are as long as there are a lot.

Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to run Lua clientside only? I've been working on a mod that isn't server reliant, it's mostly java but I'm using ModOptions for the settings, but if I connect to a server it seems the server requires the lua for the menu to show

neon bronze Sep 19, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

All lua is run client sided

#

You have 3 folders for lua

#

Client, server and shared are run by client. Server and shared are run by server

storm hound Sep 19, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

Ahhhh, I must've just screwed up my code then

#

Thank you 👍

#

Actually, I wonder if it could be something in ModOptions itself telling it to shut itself off for a mod if the server doesn't have it installed, I haven't actually looked

#

The issue I'm having is that the ModOptions menu works great in a single player world, it shows all of my options and they work. The controller switching mod also works, double taping w swaps to keyboard and double clicking A swaps to controller. But then when I join a server, my ModOptions menu for my mod disappears, and the controller switching mod also breaks. When they work fine if I'm not on a server

bronze yoke Sep 19, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

no, you can't, the server and client are forced to use the same mod list

with how pz has client authority on nearly everything there would never be a safe way of allowing the client to use different mods

sour island Sep 19, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Actually, there's a setup to do just that

#

the mods are whitelisted

#

I'm fairly certain the server needs to use a modified java tho

bronze yoke Sep 19, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

is there a checksum involved?

sour island Sep 19, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Yes

bronze yoke Sep 19, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

that's good

sour island Sep 19, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

It's kind of ingenious - there's a whitelist for mods - so as long as you have the required set and some of the whitelisted ones you're good

bronze yoke Sep 19, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

sounds like a security nightmare but the idea had crossed my mind

#

i can't imagine how you'd do it cleanly without a java mod though yeah

storm hound Sep 19, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

bronze yoke no, you can't, the server and client are forced to use the same mod list

Ahh, I thought that might be the case. That's what I meant to ask

#

But if I was to use Java to load Lua, it'd get around that, right?

#

I should prefix this by saying I have explicit permission from the server owner of the server I'm playing on. They just don't want to force everyone to do any sort of manual mod installation, which would be required since I had to write the mod in java. (My mod just allows more precise throttle and brake control by allowing them to be bound to controller axis. As well as manual gear shifts to specific gears depending on button. Something that simply isn't useful to the other people on the server)

#

So I suppose I'm wondering if the Java and Lua interaction can work in reverse, running lua from java. My other option is to implement the settings I need in my own ui but I'm just not keen to put that extra work in

#

I don't know if this is allowed under the tos though, as it could be said it's deliberately subverting a protection mechanic for online play 😅

Today in "Throwing everything at the wall in the hopes at least one of em will stick"

#

I've been at this mod a week and a half because I've got one brain cel andcan't figure out how to print to the console from java, so I can't test anything without loading into the game and just hoping it works

cobalt fiber How are you modding the java? are you compiling it everytime? I always wanted to...

This is the main way as i know, but-
I've been working on a thingi to run project zomboid with a Fabric mod loader, still very WIP tho, and not even on github rn
Dont think I'm going to release it until I finish working on a Lua mixins, because this is important thing for modding too

#

Modding for Java is not something really useful unless you are going to make something really new, because the most of a game logic as i understood is writen in Lua

#

Thats why releasing modding toolkit supporting fabric without a lua mixins would be a bit dumb :p

storm hound Sep 20, 2023, 2:13 AM

#

cobalt fiber How are you modding the java? are you compiling it everytime? I always wanted to...

I've got a copy of the game decompiled. I grab the file I want to work with from there, chuck it in a folder equating to the original .class's location in the game files, and use the game's install directory as a library. Then, yeah, I compile the files, slap them over the game's files, and run it. Then repeat for each change I make 😅

#

The bytecode decompile works really well almost entirely as is, just the variable names are still obfuscated

#

I'm modding java because what I need to do involves overwriting parts of the car controller and base vehicle classes, which is something that can't be done in lua (As far as I'm aware)

storm hound Sep 20, 2023, 2:58 AM

sour island There's Lua triggers for OnLoad

Yes, I found that. What I need is a mod that will connect to an API through websocket. I was not sure how to include all the packages supporting websockets in Lua, so I thought it might be easier to decompile the Java and compile the dependencies together with the game code.

raw tulip Sep 20, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

bronze yoke it seems very expensive, battery chargers really aren't that helpful

the recipe I have right now is your character making a car battery charger from scratch

#

if you're taking mechanics seriously at that time in your gameplay (like 2 months) you would have likely had an abundance of these materials laying around

#

thus why its expensive since its not too hard to find... but its not easy to come across either

Honestly I’d say that’s reasonable, though maybe remove the propane torch and have screws instead, or alternatively make it 3 electrical and 1-2 metalworking to justify the propane torch.

#

I love this mod for a variety of reasons, mainly that it makes any weapon viable if you focus on it enough, but it always annoys me that it doesn't work with modded weapons, I'd love to try my hand at reworking this to do such a thing without the manual process of making patches for every melee weapon mod I can find, or at least to float the idea for anyone else who might be interested in giving it a swing.

What you would need to do is take the names of the items from the other mods you want it to be compatible with and simply add them to the recipe list.

#

Nice sounds like a big undertaking, and I wish you luck

atomic crow Sep 21, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

That's what I was worried about, like I said I was hoping to try and make it dynamic, so that anything that can be used as a melee weapon is subject to it. There's another mod that does something similar but for backpack upgrades, not quite the same process but it works for basically all modded backpacks/containers without needing to be patched for every single one individually.

hey, I want to make a mod that makes a animal.
But I have a problem when I try to make a butcher recipe.
Basicly the animal has a age value of 12 (when rotten) but the meat one of 4 (bacon).

if I do :

local porkChop1 = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem("Base.PorkChop")
local rotten = animal:isRotten()
porkChop1:setRotten(rotten)
inv:AddItem(porkChop1)

this will not give me a rotten meat but instead a fresh one since the newly spawned meat has a age value of 0.
If I do setAge instead, the problem is that the meat can be bad before the animal is.
I can lower the rotten value, but I would like to not do it. Any suggestions?

Excited about the cache'd textures - will this come with different coloring methods? The current one is multiplicative I believe - I wanted to make outlines using 4 drawn images and I wasn't able to get a solid white using the current methods.

#

Would also be neat to merge a shading overlay onto a solid base for color variants rather than the usual recolor

if button.internal == "OK" or isKeyPressed(getCore():getKey(Keyboard.KEY_RETURN))```
~~I assume that's the correct way to implement it~~ actually nvm this function is called when player clicks a button with mouse so obv pressing enter won't have an effect

how much wire should be required? yeah I checked to make sure to keep the aforementioned items in the recipe hahahaha after wondering why it consumed the tools

@mellow frigate got a quick question about your mod Moodle Framework. I faced an issue where the moodle is being shown for all players online on a server. I am using it for one of my mods in a function as follows:


--The following function is called for the event onPlayerTakeDamage
function Knockout.onPlayerTakeDamage(character, damageType, damage)
    if isServer() then return end --If the code is running on serverside, don't execute the code (tried with and without this line, still same result)
    if character:getModData().Knockout_isKnockedout then return end --Ensure that the player can only get knocked out if he's not already knocked out

    if instanceof(character, "IsoPlayer") then  --Check if the damaged character is a player and not a zombie

       --More code that executes the function *Knockout.setUnconscious(character)* based on certain requirements
    end
end

--Knockout.setUnconscious(character)
function Knockout.setUnconscious(character)

    local playerIndex = character:getPlayerNum() --Get player num

    ISTimedActionQueue.clear(character)
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(Knockout_TimedAction:new(character, playerIndex))
end

--Timed Action
function Knockout_TimedAction:start() -- Trigger when the action starts
    self.action:setBlockMovementEtc(true)
    Knockout.disabler(self.character, true) --Disable player controls

    self.character:getModData().Knockout_isKnockedout = true

    UIManager.setFadeBeforeUI(self.playerIndex, true)
    UIManager.FadeOut(self.playerIndex, 1) --Show black screen

    local moodle = MF.getMoodle("Knockedout");

    if moodle then
        moodle:setValue(0)
    end
end```

I fully agree on that, it could be a clue that start is called for every player. hidden is supposed to be the default state for any moodle

#

maybe ensure the stop action deactivates the moodle too

#

you'll still have the "bugged action, clear queue" inconsistency but considering you also block movements, the moodle would be the last of your problems

#

you could remove all moodle interaction from the timed action and do OnPlayerUpdate: ```lua
function knockedout.OnPlayerUpdate(isoPlayer)
local moodle = MF.getMoodle("Knockedout");
if not moodle then return end
if isoPlayer:isBlockMovement() then

The idea itself is interesting, make a list of foods based on carbohydrates and assign them “bread units” (I don’t know how it is in English) in order to suppress the new scale of “sugar in blood” needs.

#

From all my experience communicating with people with diabetes, I remember that insulin should be kept refrigerated.
It's basically just another story about how you die.

Is there any way (Server setting etc.) to set-up sleep recovery modifactor? Like when I lay down, that I recover more. Actually I would really need to lay for 10 hours to recover, which is not my intention. Is there a sleep-length modifier or something I can work on?

manic relic Sep 23, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

okay so quick question

#

this is my (test) version of the distribution system

#

#

to make my item spawn I need to replace the "TUT.Someitem" with the name of my item

#

for example "Hat_monky_black"

#

is that correct?

neon bronze Sep 23, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

Youd need the full type

#

Along with the module name

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

the space after ArmyHangarOutfit will cause issues

manic relic Sep 23, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

what do you mean with module name?

neon bronze Sep 23, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Like Base

#

Everytime you declare a new item in the script file you write what module its in

#

Like
Module Base{
…
}

manic relic Sep 23, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

?

#

I still dont get it?

neon bronze Sep 23, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

You need smtj like Base.BaseballBat

#

If you put just BaseballBat it will not spawn it probs

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

it will assume base when the module isn't specified

#

but mods should avoid using base

neon bronze Sep 23, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

Is there a load issue associated with putting stuff into base or is it purely to categorise modded and unmodded stuff?

fast galleon Sep 23, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

is there any known solution the fact that sandboxvars load after the distribution event for items fires?

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

yeah, you can just get the itempicker to reparse the distributions

balmy terrace Sep 23, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

ItemPickerJava.Parse()?

#

i don't know if that helps with the use case of trying to make a mod's item distribution configurable with sandboxvars

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

it does

#

just wait for sandbox options to become available, edit the distributions accordingly, and then parse them again

balmy terrace Sep 23, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

that feels, not very peformant

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

it feels mandatory 🤷

#

it's all going to happen at load time anyway

#

it's a bit of a shame that every mod has to do this individually but it's not really a big deal

balmy terrace Sep 23, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

well, in that case, would I just be avoiding changing the distribution tables until the sandbox vars are available? wouldn't i have to wipe any changes i made on previous boot or does the game only build item distribution tables on startup?

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

it's lua, it resets when lua does

#

OnInitGlobalModData is the event for this

#

it's the first event to fire after sandbox options load

balmy terrace Sep 23, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

hmmm, wouldn't it be easier to hook into OnFillContainer and modify the outputs based on your sandbox vars, like the vanilla game supposedly does?

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

would that be easier? 😅

balmy terrace Sep 23, 2023, 10:10 PM

Has anyone met this before (client-side)?
Just to understand context: I have no idea what is that square location and why is looking up for generator there.

bronze yoke Sep 23, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

the game is attempting to sync the generator but the generator isn't actually added to the square

nova socket Sep 23, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

I found out why its happening

#

Its happening because I issue generator from server.

#

-- Create gen
local item = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem("Base.Generator");
local object = IsoGenerator.new(item, cell, square);
object:getModData().isProp = true;
object:transmitModData();
object:transmitCompleteItemToClients();
object:transmitCompleteItemToServer();

However it has nothing to do with specified square location.

#

Found sympthoms: if square is unloaded (player leave elsewhere) it also starts spamming this on server-side

#

How creating a new IsoGenerator object causing such a meltdown is not something I'm able to grasp.

#

Nevermind, update: if you do any of

gen:setFuel(100);
gen:setActivated(true);
gen:setCondition(100);

Without transmitting it on server side it starts to do something weird and lookup some unknown gens in uncertain squares.

#

Might be some networking bug with updating IsoObjects since I don't either create or lookup gen at that square and basically coordinates are different everytime as player moves around the map, looks like just any random existing generator found in currently loaded cell.

@bronze yoke hello, you suggested to me before the usage of online id instead of player name for sending server/client commands. apparently it returns player as nil when I tried it the way you suggested, however, when I used names, it works fine (which isn't optimal considering the problems you mentioned)

--Function gets called from onWeaponHitCharacter event. I am trying to add a timed action to the target player, but a bug happens where the timed action is applied for both attacked player and target player (possibly all other players online too), and the only way I found that fixes it, is sending the target player's username to to a client command, then sending it to a server command to apply the timed action.

function Knockout.onWeaponHitCharacter(attacker, target, weapon, damage)
    if target:getModData().Knockout_isKnockedout then return end --Ensure that the player can only get knocked out if he's not already knocked out

    if instanceof(target, "IsoPlayer") then
        --lots of irrelevant stuff here
      local onlineID = target:getOnlineID()
      print("ONLINE ID FROM _DAMAGES IS: " .. onlineID)
      sendClientCommand('RealKnockouts', 'knockPlayerOutByID', {onlineID})
    end
end```

Client Command:
```lua
function Commands.knockPlayerOutByID(onlineID)
    local player = getPlayerByOnlineID(onlineID)
    sendServerCommand(player, 'RealKnockouts', 'knockPlayerOutByObject', {player})
end```

Server Command:
```lua
--This is where the error happens, player being detected as nil
function Commands.knockPlayerOutByObject(player)
    local playerIndex = player:getPlayerNum()

    ISTimedActionQueue.clear(player)
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(Knockout_TimedAction:new(player, playerIndex))
end```

#

I noticed that player object is fetched from the client command and sent to the server command according to the code snippet you sent as well. Wouldn't they be different clientside/serverside?

If OnWeaponHitCharacter is called on the target Client side, you do not need all that network stuff: just apply the stun locally. If it is called on server side, you only need one message from server to client. ```lua
--also this is invalid because you cannot serialise the player into the args for network transmition:
function Commands.knockPlayerOutByID(onlineID)
local player = getPlayerByOnlineID(onlineID)
sendServerCommand(player, 'RealKnockouts', 'knockPlayerOutByObject', {player})
end
--replace by:
function Commands.knockPlayerOutByID(onlineID)
local player = getPlayerByOnlineID(onlineID)
sendServerCommand(player, 'RealKnockouts', 'knockPlayerOutByObject', {onlineID})--you also can just remove any args, because the client called already can find getPlayer()
end

#

you may wanna use isoPlayer:isLocalPlayer()

That's what I tried initially, doing the stun directly without usage of client/server commands, but it was acting weird because it was being applied for both attacker and target (remember that moodle thing I discussed with you yd? turns out it's not just a moodle framwork problem)

#

I will try sending the server command directly, or doing an if condition for isLocalPlayer()

if doing it locally does too much, using network cannot be the solution, filtering locally can. ```lua

function Knockout.onWeaponHitCharacter(attacker, target, weapon, damage)
if not instanceof(target, "IsoPlayer") or not target:isLocalPlayer() then return end
if target:getModData().Knockout_isKnockedout then return end --Ensure that the player can only get knocked out if he's not already knocked out

tardy wren Sep 24, 2023, 10:15 AM

I thought it would save a reference to the object's function, not the class'

mellow frigate Sep 24, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

the method definition is not duplicated with each instance or it would take so much more space.

tardy wren Sep 24, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

So it's kind of like... The reference is static?

#

Or rather... To lua, all methods are static?

mellow frigate Sep 24, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

I do not know for lua, but for c++ (and I guess for java it is approx the same) methods are defined once per type, with a virtual table for indirection in case of inheritance & override.

tardy wren Sep 24, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

Uh huh...

#

If I cache my method... how do I use it then? Let's say, I cache item:getFullName() into scriptItem_fullName

mellow frigate Sep 24, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

you do not cache instance stuff in file scope, you cache only type stuff at this level. instance stuff remains cached inside your lua functions ```lua
local item_base = __classmetatables[InventoryItem.class].__index
local item_getFullName = item_base.getFullname
function myluadFunction(params)
--..
local instancefullname = item_getFullName(item)
--..

hollow current <@119473430289448961> hello, you suggested to me before the usage of online id i...

it's because your server command tries to send a player object to the client, you can't send most types of objects as arguments, hence the need for online ids to uniquely identify players

#

the process is: 1) the first client selects the player and sends the online id 2) the server uses the online id to get the player object, sends the online id to the client with that player 3) the second client uses the online id to identify that player and run whatever code

#

you need the player object on the server side so you can send the server command to that specific client but you can't actually send it along

Hey hi, where can I find the documentation related to the addOption method for right click context menus?

pulsar rock Sep 24, 2023, 5:17 PM

First, second, etc... arguments are passed onto the function?

That's an odd order hmm

Why not have method go first, and then all arguments

for a square/tile, most objects have a :getModData() table which saves when the object does
