There’s existing night vision goggle mods already, you could take a look at how they work.

[drifting ore]

that's a smart idea, thank you!

Hmm, what about glowing zombies? or a way to make them turn a different color, for example in thermal vision creatures glow bright

[raven zinc]

Does anyone know why the cursor wouldn't show up in game?

[atomic crow]

Now that I’m less sure of, could maybe take a look at how the aiming outline code looks, at least as far as how it applies the effect, and I know the game has checks for how many zombies are visible to you for panic accumulation and such.

[pulsar rock]

Nice work!

[nova socket]

Thanks, today I shed even more blood and tears thou.
Had some dedicated server syncing issues to fix

[pulsar rock]

That's modding for ya

[pulsar rock]

Say, are there limitations to Moddata?

I'm trying to save the following structure:

myModNameData = {
  tile = {
    x = 1234,
    y = 1234,
    z = 1234
  },
  tileType = "someString"
}

ModData.getOrCreate("myModName") = myModNameData

But it appears to only save tileType.

Does it not allow for tables inside of tables to be saved?

Is there an issue with integers?

[nova socket]

No, it can save/add/transmit any object (table)

[pulsar rock]

So, I should also be able to save IsoObjects? (such a squares or items)

[nova socket]

Just to be sure what I actually transmit as data is

{
    ['base'] = {
        ['name'] = "Immersive Trader",
        ['range'] = 10,
        ['icon'] = "media/textures/Shop.png",
        ['x'] = 12598,
        ['y'] = 955,
        ['z'] = 0
    },
    ['data'] = {
        ['Weapons'] = {            
            {"Base.Katana", 1, "Base.Money", 4000, 1250},
            {"Base.AssaultRifle2", 1, "Base.Money", 2000, 1000},

            {"Base.x4Scope", 1, "ICurrency.GemScrap", 50, 15},
            {"Base.x2Scope", 1, "ICurrency.GemScrap", 25, 10}
        },        
        ['Ammo'] = {
            {"Base.Bullets45", 30, "Base.Money", 150, 3},
            {"Base.Bullets44", 30, "Base.Money", 125, 3},
            {"Base.308Bullets", 30, "Base.Money", 100, 2},
            {"Base.556Bullets", 30, "Base.Money", 100, 2},            
            {"Base.ShotgunShells", 24, "Base.Money", 100, 3},
            {"Base.Bullets9mm", 30, "Base.Money", 50, 1}
        },                
        ['Currency'] = {
            {"ICurrency.GoldScrap", 1, "Base.Money", 0, 10},
            {"ICurrency.SilverScrap", 1, "Base.Money", 0, 5},
            {"ICurrency.GemScrap", 1, "Base.Money", 0, 25},
            {"ICurrency.GemScrap", 1, "ICurrency.GoldScrap", 5, 0},
            {"ICurrency.GemScrap", 1, "ICurrency.SilverScrap", 10, 0}
        },
        ['Miscellaneous'] = {
            {"Base.PetrolCan", 1, "Base.Money", 250, 100},
            {"Base.Bag_ALICEpack_Army", 1, "Base.Money", 1000, 500}
        }
    }    
}

So there is a lot of various data

[pulsar rock]

Hm

[nova socket]

And it goes through normally to client

[pulsar rock]

I'm a bit puzzled as to what is wrong with my code then

    local firstLink = {
        tile = WarpTiles.toXYZTable(inProgressLink[2]),
        tileType = inProgressLink[3]
    }

    local secondLink = {
        tile = WarpTiles.toXYZTable(_tile),
        tileType = _tileType
    }

    print("Saving link (performed by " .. playerObj:getUsername() .. ")")

    local link = {
        source = firstLink,
        destination = secondLink
    }

    WarpTiles.saveTileData(firstLink.tile, firstLink, secondLink)
    WarpTiles.saveTileData(secondLink.tile, secondLink, firstLink)

    local linkTable = WarpTiles.getModData()

    table.insert(linkTable, link)

    WarpTiles.syncModData()

The saveTileData stuff works

--- Get the mod data table.
---@return KahluaTable
WarpTiles.getModData = function()
    ModData.request(WarpTiles.modDataKey)
    return ModData.getOrCreate(WarpTiles.modDataKey)
end

WarpTiles.getModData ^

It saves the tileType fields properly, and I can access those through source & destination, but not the "tile" fields.

[nova socket]

Basically on server you need to do getOrCreate(), then fill with stuff and once you are ready you need to transmit() it.
On other end (client) you need to have two events OnInitGlobalModData and OnReceiveGlobalModData - first is to catch data already transmitted, second is to catch data updated.

-- Moddata
local function onInitGlobalModData() 
    ModData.request("IShopsData");
end
local function OnReceiveGlobalModData(module, packet)
    if module == "IShopsData" or module == "IShopsObjects" then
        if packet then
            IShops:print('Getting data packet from server');
            ModData.add(module, packet)
        else
            IShops:print('Getting update packet from server');
        end
    end    
end

Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(onInitGlobalModData)
Events.OnReceiveGlobalModData.Add(OnReceiveGlobalModData)

Something like that on client

add() is required on other end

[pulsar rock]

The issue isn't syncing. It's not saving the entire table for whatever reason.

[nova socket]

Not saving where on receiving end?

[pulsar rock]

    local firstLink = {
        tile = WarpTiles.toXYZTable(inProgressLink[2]),
        tileType = inProgressLink[3]
    }

    local secondLink = {
        tile = WarpTiles.toXYZTable(_tile),
        tileType = _tileType
    }

    local link = {
        source = firstLink,
        destination = secondLink
    }

    local linkTable = WarpTiles.getModData()

    table.insert(linkTable, link)

    WarpTiles.syncModData()

This is the relevant bit of code

It's not saving the tile portion of the first & second link tables.

But it is saving tileType

[nova socket]

oh wait you are talking a IsoObject mod data

I'm talking about Global Mod Data its a different entity.

[pulsar rock]

No, I'm talking about global mod data

[pulsar rock]

This is where I fetch the global mod data

[nova socket]

sec

so what data type you transmit again? tiletype as a string?

[pulsar rock]

Yep

And tile as a table of 3 integers

--- Convert a tile to an x,y,z table.
---@param _tile IsoObject
--- The tile to be converted.
---@return table
--- An x,y,z table representing the tile.
WarpTiles.toXYZTable = function(_tile)
    return {
        x = _tile:getX(),
        y = _tile:getY(),
        z = _tile:getZ()
    }
end

[nova socket]

Weird huh

[pulsar rock]

This is the toXYZTable method ^

I use this method in other places, and it seems to work fine there, so it's not returning nil as far as I'm aware

[nova socket]

what is exactly WarpTiles.syncModData()

[pulsar rock]

--- Sync the mod data table to the server & clients.
WarpTiles.syncModData = function()
    ModData.transmit(WarpTiles.modDataKey)
end

[nova socket]

oh well makes sense

[pulsar rock]

Simply a transmit with the key pre-filled

[nova socket]

tileType = _tileType could this issue be related to linking it as _ variable?

[pulsar rock]

How so?

They're two different variables

Unless LUA does funky stuff with underscores

[nova socket]

ye

because lua has _ and __ under the box

[pulsar rock]

I don't think those do anything functional, though?

They're just conventions

[nova socket]

plain example is class inheritance with setmetatable and self.index = __self shit

[pulsar rock]

Yeah, those are just conventions for variables

[nova socket]

Its just weird string is not going through. Your chain seems right

You do trasmit() and you have request() and probably add() too

[hollow lodge]

I'm having trouble with russian translations, I'm using notepad++, what are the steps to follow? or how should i save my itemname_ru.txt? 🇷🇺 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

[fast galleon]

this looks wrong, shouldn't be transmit("myModData")?

[pulsar rock]

That's a variable I set up for ease of use

"myModData" was just an example snippet

[nova socket]

I would double check

[pulsar rock]

Minimal viable example of what I was doing

Is there a simple way to browse global mod data?

An sqlite database file somewhere?

Or a way to attach a debugger to the LUA script somehow?

[nova socket]

In debug mode debuggers Dev section there is GlobalModData viewer

[pulsar rock]

How do you enable debug mode again?

[nova socket]

-debug as startup param

[pulsar rock]

Also, there isn't a quick way to reload LUA while hosting a server, by any chance?

Without having to reboot the test server entirely

[nova socket]

No unfortunately not on the server, in hosted game or singeplayer you can do that safely in F11

[pulsar rock]

Much appreciated for the help so far btw!

[fast galleon]

this usually leads to more confusions

there is however a reloadlua command

[nova socket]

however might be viable if you have an event with remote exectuin

so client debug console can send sendServerCommand

and the server reload file scripted, but it already sounds more like liability

[pulsar rock]

Quick side question, is there a simple way to do a reliable timer?

Or do I just use os.time() and go from there?

[fast galleon]

There are some guides around.

To sum up: use the same file name as the game and the same encoding.

Check this.
https://github.com/TheIndieStone/ProjectZomboidTranslations/blob/1e66032c6953a30d1d5a30e6cd9e132eac809458/.gitattributes#L25

[hollow lodge]

makes sense

[nova socket]

I did a code scheduler

lemme post it again

function IC:sleepDo(seconds, func, condition)
    local time = os.time();
    local targetTime = time + seconds;
    if condition == nil then condition = true end; -- Optional 


    local function OnSleepTick()
        local timeNew = os.time();
        if not condition then 
            Events.OnTick.Remove(OnSleepTick);
            return
        end
        if timeNew >= targetTime then
            Events.OnTick.Remove(OnSleepTick);
            func();
        end
    end
    Events.OnTick.Add(OnSleepTick)
end

[pulsar rock]

It's moreso for cooldowns on specific methods

[nova socket]

So you can even loop it until condition is met

[fast galleon]

like debounce?

[pulsar rock]

Debounce?

Possibly?

[nova socket]

usage is something like

local function func()
    if whatevercondition then return end -- End it
    -- Do your stuff every N-seconds

    -- Repeat (optional)
    IC:sleepDo(1, func);
end
IC:sleepDo(1, func);

equivalent of setInterval from JS

[pulsar rock]

Does that not block other parts of the script? Or is LUA async / threaded?

[nova socket]

It uses OnTick and os.time() to measure time, only then performs it removing itself from OnTick span.

so its technically performed only in one frame

But in general I would not recommend looping something really heavy anyways.

[fast galleon]

there are a few lua timer modules for pz. Wish one was in vanilla for performance.

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2875394066

[nova socket]

or this, but thats a whole mod

does anyone know where are all base items icon textures are located

it does seem its inside of some of the .packs?

[sour island]

Speaking of reloading Lua, I plan to look into having clientside force that on servers - but only if in debug mode for the tools.

Also for the error magnifier, I'm toying with the idea of having clients send their errors to the server so admins can check them.

[nova socket]

That's actually a good idea

But how you wanna do it in case of runtime exceptions? or Lua can handle them?

[sour island]

Errors are processed to get added to the UI pop up / f11

For error magnifier I grab that list and clean it up somewhat

So yes, although there are some errors that don't get added to this list

I think streamlining error management is a good step for the community at large

It's a lot of steps and time for most people to go back and forth - and they're not really obligated to commit to helping a modder. Just like it's not an obligation the modder tackles every bug. But yeah, the current system is not friendly for either party. 😅

I'm always grateful for people who go through the trouble of finding their console logs. But they also send me hours of logs.

The debug tools I mentioned are part of the community project - if this is a project you'd want to help with / want help with @nova socket .

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909488957

It's kind of in limbo as I told myself I'd not commit to a large project and only work on this off and on...

But it's automatically updated off GitHub every Friday.

[nova socket]

oh wait

I actually realized https://github.com/Project-Zomboid-Community-Modding/pz-community-modding/blob/main/Contents/mods/!pz_frameworks/media/lua/shared/utils/debounce.lua

Is exactly what I did with my sleepDo but a bit more advanced

lmao

no idea is unique

[sour island]

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I wanted to start this

I think we've all spent half a day making something only to discover it's an obscure vanilla function or already exists

[nova socket]

I subbed and pinned repo If I come up with some usefullness ill post a pull request.

[sour island]

Sounds good 👍

I'm looking into a vote to pull system

But ... also terrified of that

[nova socket]

I have open repo for my stuff too https://bitbucket.org/demellion/pzmods/src/master/
immersivecurrency is technically an API, so might be useful

I found that stuff like this might be overly useful

function IShops:getItemCondition(item)
    if not item then return -1 end;
    if item:IsDrainable() then return item:getUsedDelta() end
    if item:IsWeapon() then return item:getCondition() / item:getConditionMax() end
    if item:IsClothing() then return item:getCondition() / item:getConditionMax() end
    if item:IsFood() then
        local stage = item:HowRotten();
        if stage == -2 then return 1 end
        if stage == -1 then return 0.75 end
        if stage == 0 then return 0.5 end
        return 0;
    end
    return -1;
end

function IShops:checkItemParent(item)
    if not item then return false end;
    local container = item:getContainer();
    if not container then return false end;
    local parent = container:getParent();
    if not parent then return false end;
    if parent ~= getPlayer() then return false end;
    return true;
end

or this, but its borrowed from one of the mods

function IShops:chatMessage(msg, visual, channel)
    local chatMsg = {
        getTextWithPrefix = function(self)
            return msg
        end,

        getText = function(self)
            return msg
        end,
        
        setText = function(self, newMsg)
            msg = newMsg
        end,
        
        isOverHeadSpeech = function() return not visual end, -- 
        isServerAlert = function() return visual end,
        isShowAuthor = function() return false end,
        isServerAuthor = function() return true end,
        getAuthor = function() return false end,
        getRadioChannel = function() return -1 end
    };
    ISChat.addLineInChat(setmetatable({ msg = msg.."\t" }, chatMsg), channel or 0)
end

funny is that food has 2 stages of freshness

-2 fresh and -1 is also fresh

[sour island]

Ishops? :0

I also made a shops mod

As for APIs I'm steering away from including those into the project in favor of general utility stuff.

I need to incorporate quality checks for items in my shops

Right now it's just a blanket > 75%

Would be cool if people wanted intentionally broken items

Or rotten food etc

[fathom barn]

Hey, is there any tutorial on the resolutions for the menu background? I downloaded a bunch of main menu mods and investigated them but they're all weirdly cropped.

[raw tulip]

yes, this doesnt work
how would I do an "or" for these two items?

"you can use 4 smallSheetMetal OR 2 sheetMetal" is my goal

similarly, how could I create "any of"

the game wants EITHER 6 metalPipe or 6 metalBar

not like 4 metalPipe and 2 metalBar

since I kinda want them to be the "same thing"

[bronze yoke]

two different recipes with the same name can accomplish the first

recipes are extremely rigid

[nova socket]

So I've decided why not?

[raw tulip]

rigid? how so? just whatever is in the "/" can only be one "=" value at the end?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, i mean as a whole there's just very little flexibility in how they work

[raw tulip]

no OR or ANDs?

[tiny wolf]

Hello everybody,

Trying to understand how loot and procedural distribution works to configure my mod.
Do you know videos or forums which learn how to use ProceduralDistribution, Rolls, weighchance etc... please guys ? 🙂 ❤️

[bronze yoke]

no, infact every single condition is evaluated separately

e.g.```
Apple=1,
Apple=1,

[raw tulip]

even though theres two of them seperately hahaha

[bronze yoke]

for the 'any of' issue, someone was in here trying to work it out for weeks, it's just not supported

you can do it with food to an extent but not with anything else

[raw tulip]

hm....

[raw tulip]

thanks so much for your assistance mate

[raw tulip]

my reasonings is that metal sheets and small metal sheets vary in popularity

same with metal bars and metal pipes, and even lead pipes
so if only there was a way to make pipes of each

[nova socket]

Wait so does that work with resultingitem?

[sour island]

Can't you use the function injections for this?

Like [hammer] or what not

[bronze yoke]

how so?

they just add to the item list

[sour island]

Evaluate the item type and count

[bronze yoke]

they're evaluated at script load

[sour island]

Oh?

Yeah then you're stuck making a recipe for each I guess

[fast galleon]

#mod_development message

[raw tulip]

ah, this is a "fair solution"
make the same recipe but with different materials kinda

[fast galleon]

good thing next version updates recipe system

[raw tulip]

make a recipe for metal pipes
make a recipe for metal bars
make a recipe for lead pipes
right?

[sour island]

You'd have to make one for each count of ingredients

If you want pipes/bars = 4 you only need 1

If you want a=4, b=6, c=8 you'd need three.
a/b=4, c=6 means just 2 recipes

The issue is you can't define the amount per ingredient and use OR?

They have to all be the same amount

[raw tulip]

yeah as mentioned earlier, no OR or AND or ANYOF

[sour island]

There is an OR

And is just default ...

Can you not define the amount if you use or at all?

[raw tulip]

the amount is applied to the entire selection
"MetalPipe/MetalBar=6"

[sour island]

Yes.. that's an OR

[raw tulip]

means 6 of metalpipes or 6 metalbars

if you have 3 of each it wont let you craft yeah

which is what im trying to get at

[tiny wolf]

Thank you a lot Poltergeist, don't understand very much how does work the "Roll" system = it manage the chance to have got items ? The higher it is, the more chance you've got to have got items ?

[sour island]

Ah you're worried about the anyof

[raw tulip]

ANYOF itemA/itemB

[sour island]

Yeah.... that uh

[raw tulip]

yeah...

[sour island]

I wonder how far you can push the evaluation functions for ingredients

I feel like it should be possible... even if you have to really bend it in Lua

[bronze yoke]

you can do this stuff with them but i didn't recommend it since you're basically just rewriting recipes at that point

[sour island]

Yeah a bit

[raw tulip]

thus heres my question now.

pipe or bar

[sour island]

What is this recipe for?

Would a middle man object be ok?

[raw tulip]

crafting a generator

[sour island]

Like convert the items into something to prepare them

[raw tulip]

hm....

[sour island]

Then you could use 6 of those

Although I feel great pain suggesting adding a dead-end single use item

[raw tulip]

dang... the wiki has uses for both the bar and pipes

metal bars are for construction

and pipes are for furnishings

lead pipe is a no go, no recipes. its a weapon

[sour island]

You can totally use those

You can use any item in a recipe, keep or use any, etc

Just no any of apparently

🧠

[raw tulip]

nah not gonna use "keep" since its being used to construct the generators bars

[sour island]

You can generate recipes dynamically

Make one recipe for every combination on boot

🙉

All the cardinal sins

[raw tulip]

METAL PIPE IT IS.

@sour island@bronze yokealright finally, are these fair to the player?

[sour island]

Sure? Seems like a good investment of resources

Game balance is kind of subjective

[raw tulip]

its a fucken generator so its hella expensive

pretty big deal so it needs to be difficult

[verbal yew]

Radio.ElectricWire?

emmm

okay

[raw tulip]

sure. I'll keep an eye on the steam workshop comment section for any needed balance adjustments

[raw tulip]

thats the item apparently, "wire" is used for something else

[verbal yew]

SheetMetal
SheetMetal

double?

maybe change one to SmallSheetMetal

[raw tulip]

ah thanks, that one was supposed to be smallsheetmetal

I'll correct that

[verbal yew]

ElectricWire without radio

[bronze yoke]

but it is in the radio module

[raw tulip]

I think I had some issues without the radio.ITEM

[verbal yew]

hmmm

recipe zReVCPersonalComputer
    {
        ElectronicsScrap=15,
        ElectricWire=8,
        LightBulb=6,

        SheetMetal=2,
        Screws=16,

strange...

my recipe work fine but ok

[bronze yoke]

if you import the radio module you don't have to

[raw tulip]

oh.... well its fine right?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, i prefer not to import for one item anyway

[tiny wolf]

do you know a way to block the possibility for a container to spawn more than one item ?

u have mod from spoon?

ah. yeah I think this current method is sufficient

thanks anyways

[verbal yew]

This part just raises some questions for me...

only spoon(author) use same item id with another module

in this engineer mod:

module Radio
{
    imports
        {
             Base,
        }
bla bla bla

    item ElectricWire
    {
        DisplayCategory = Electronics,
        Weight    =    0.1,
        Type    =    Normal,
        DisplayName    =    Electric Wire,
        Icon    =    Wire,
        ColorRed = 244,
        ColorGreen = 164,
        ColorBlue = 96,
        WorldStaticModel = ElectricWire,
    }

@verbal yew@bronze yoke@sour island thanks for your assistance everyone! that should be all for now. I'll release these soon

in the meantime, heres something interesting

okay, yep, vanilla have radio module for ElectricWire, but I'm wondering why there are problems adding it to craft.
i have it without import radio in module in my recipe and it's work fine ^^'

Probably the save system is not handling it well, I think the condition is 0-1

drop it in lua/client

this will add to the magazine with teaching how to use generators the ability to craft them

craftable 2 wheel trailer (vehicle)

2 wheels, suspension, a TON of metal sheets, a lot of propane/blowtorch and high mechanics and metalworking requirements

I don't know if it's even possible to spawn a vehicle without cheating

or how you would even construct this... thing? through the crafting menu??

the trailer is rare, but it's something that's really sought after. and if you're super unlucky, you won't find one

Trying to use a VM for MP testing and its failing cause the VM doesnt have openGL 💀

[verbal yew]

guys

need your help

[sour island]

I'll trade you

help for help

[verbal yew]

i have old code:

function CrowbarWindow:doUnlock()
    if self.mode == MODE_VEHICLE_DOOR then    -- ДВЕРЬ МАШИНЫ
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLocked(false);
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLockBroken(true);
    end

i need that stuff:

local args = { vehicle = self.vehicleID, part = self.priableObjectID, locked = false, open = true }
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorLocked', args)
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorOpen', args)

but i can't understand where does the information come from and how to apply for them.
If i try use it, vehicleID derive nil

[sour island]

If you have self.lockpick_object:getDoor() maybe you can work your way back if this is a car part?

self.lockpick_object = car?

[verbal yew]

Now I'll try to figure out all the connections

one min

[sour island]

I can't get my VM to launch PZ

😦

I just need someone to move some game pieces to see if the syncing issue was fixed

[verbal yew]

first - addSlice - when trigger BetLock.UI.startLockpickingVehicleDoorCrowbar

function BetLock.UI.addOutsideOptions(playerObj)

    local endurance = playerObj:getStats():getEndurance() -- zRe
    --local strength = playerObj:getPerkLevel(Perks.Strength) -- zRe

    local menu = getPlayerRadialMenu(playerObj:getPlayerNum())
    if menu == nil then return end

    local vehicle = playerObj:getUseableVehicle()
    if vehicle == nil then return end

    local part = vehicle:getUseablePart(playerObj)
    if part and part:getDoor()then
    
        if part:getDoor():isLocked() then
            local playerSkill = playerObj:getPerkLevel(Perks.Lockpicking)
            if vehicle:getModData().LockpickLevel == nil then
                vehicle:getModData().LockpickLevel = BetLock.Utils.getLockpickingLevelVehicle(vehicle)
            end

            -- ОПЦИЯ ВЗЛОМА МОНТИРОВКОЙ
            local inv = playerObj:getInventory();
            local crowbar = inv:getFirstTagEvalRecurse("zReBLCrow", predicateNotBroken);
            if not crowbar then
                menu:addSlice(getText("ContextMenu_Require", getItemNameFromFullType("Base.Crowbar")), getTexture("media/textures/BetLock_lockpick_Crowbar_Icon.png"))
            elseif endurance <= 0.5 then
                menu:addSlice(getText("UI_enduranceRequireCar"), getTexture("media/textures/BetLock_lockpick_Crowbar_Icon.png"))
            --elseif strength <= 3 then
            --    menu:addSlice(getText("UI_strengthRequireCar"), getTexture("media/textures/BetLock_lockpick_Crowbar_Icon.png"))
            else
                local text = getText("UI_BetLock_LockpickDoorCrowBar") .. " \n(" .. getText(vehicle:getModData().LockpickLevel.name) .. ")" 
                menu:addSlice(text, getTexture("media/textures/BetLock_lockpick_Crowbar_Icon.png"), BetLock.UI.startLockpickingVehicleDoorCrowbar, playerObj, part)
            end

second - trigger CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor

function BetLock.UI.startLockpickingVehicleDoorCrowbar(playerObj, part)
    local vehicle = part:getVehicle()
    playerObj:facePosition(vehicle:getX(), vehicle:getY())
    local inv = playerObj:getInventory();
    local crowbar = inv:getFirstTagEvalRecurse("zReBLCrow", predicateNotBroken);
    
    if not playerObj:isItemInBothHands(crowbar) then
        ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.equipWeapon(crowbar, true, true, playerObj:getPlayerNum())
        return
    end

    ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISPathFindAction:pathToVehicleArea(playerObj, vehicle, part:getArea()))
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(EmptyAction:new(playerObj, CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor, nil, playerObj, part))
end 

[sour island]

local vehicle = playerObj:getUseableVehicle()

[verbal yew]

third - CrowbarWindow:createVehicleDoor where trigger self.mode == MODE_VEHICLE_DOOR

function CrowbarWindow:createVehicleDoor(playerObj, part)
    local modal = CrowbarWindow:new(Core:getInstance():getScreenWidth()/2 - WINDOW_WIDTH/2 + 300, Core:getInstance():getScreenHeight()/2 - 500/2, WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT)
    modal.lockpick_object = part
    modal.mode = MODE_VEHICLE_DOOR
    modal.character = playerObj
    modal.diffLevel = part:getVehicle():getModData().LockpickLevel.num
    modal.addingXP = part:getVehicle():getModData().LockpickLevel.xp
    modal.isGarage = false

    modal:initialise()
    modal:addToUIManager()
end

four - result

function CrowbarWindow:doUnlock()
    if self.mode == MODE_VEHICLE_DOOR then    -- ДВЕРЬ МАШИНЫ
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLocked(false);
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setOpen(true);
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLockBroken(true);

[verbal yew]

hmm I'm going to try now

local args = { local vehicle = playerObj:getUseableVehicle(), part = self.priableObjectID, locked = false, open = true }
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorLocked', args)
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorOpen', args)

?

how about part?

part = vehicle:getUseablePart(playerObj)?

[sour island]

You're trying to get the vehicle id from in the crowbar code?

Or you're trying to update the vehicle in the server?

[verbal yew]

second

[sour island]

did you try transmitting the part?

assuming the part/door is what determines if it's locked or not

vehicle:transmitPartItem(VehiclePart)

vehicle:transmitPartModData(VehiclePart)

[verbal yew]

nope...
I found fix solution in Common Sense

local args = { vehicle = self.vehicleID, part = self.priableObjectID, locked = false, open = true }
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorLocked', args)
            sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorOpen', args)

but not know how to adaptive it in Better Lockpicking, because in Better Lockpicking it has:

function CrowbarWindow:doUnlock()
    if self.mode == MODE_VEHICLE_DOOR then    -- ДВЕРЬ МАШИНЫ
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLocked(false);
        self.lockpick_object:getDoor():setLockBroken(true);
    end

but it's not sync for other player

[sour island]

    local args = { vehicle = self.vehicle:getId(), part = self.part:getId(), locked = false }
    sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorLocked', args)

not sure if there's one for breaking

[verbal yew]

[sour island]

there's a file for the commands, but i forget what its called

what's the error?

[sour island]

that means self.vehicle isn't a thing

What is lockpick_object ?

is says getDoor() - is the lockpick object the vehcile part for the door - and it's getting the door object?

[verbal yew]

.

[sour island]

if the lock_object is the part you can use getVehicle() on it

[verbal yew]

modal.lockpick_object = part

[verbal yew]

derive from

[sour island]

vehicle = lockpick_object:getVehicle():getId()

[verbal yew]

part = ?

[sour island]

part is the item

while it is called a door, it has a door object attached to it

[verbal yew]

local args = { vehicle = lockpick_object:getVehicle():getId(), part = self.part:getId(), locked = false }
    sendClientCommand(self.character, 'vehicle', 'setDoorLocked', args)

?

[sour island]

uh

[verbal yew]

[sour island]

if there is a self.part

other wise i'd use lockpick_object

lockpick_object:getId()

I'm not sure if there's a command to break the lock

I know there's a file housing the command stuff but it's not registered in CAPSID

and I forget the name of the file

found it

VehicleCommands.lua

housed in /server/

this is basically a vanilla clientcommand afterall, so you can write your own

so you're not sending 2 commands for both things

function Commands.setDoorLocked(player, args)
    local vehicle = getVehicleById(args.vehicle)
    if vehicle then
        local part = vehicle:getPartById(args.part)
        if not part then
            noise('no such part '..tostring(args.part))
            return
        end
        if not part:getDoor() then
            noise('part ' .. args.part .. ' has no door')
            return
        end
        if not part:getDoor():isLockBroken() then
            part:getDoor():setLocked(args.locked)
        end
        --vehicle:toggleLockedDoor(part, player, args.locked)
        vehicle:transmitPartDoor(part)
    else
        noise('no such vehicle id='..tostring(args.vehicle))
    end
end

unfortunately these are local

so you'll have to write it differently to be a command

sucks that it's local - would have been nice to insert custom ones

[verbal yew]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-lonely-upset-crying-gif-12536795

[sour island]

---THIS IS CALLED IN CLIENT
sendClientCommand(self.character, 'crowbar', 'vehicleDoor', { vehicle=lockpick_object:getVehicle():getId(), part=lockpick_object:getId() })

---THIS GOES IN /SERVER/
local function crowbarCommands(module, command, player, args)

    if module == "crowbar" and command == "vehicleDoor" then
        local vehicle = getVehicleById(args.vehicle)
        if not vehicle then return end

        local part = vehicle:getPartById(args.part)
        if not part then return end

        if not part:getDoor() then return end

        part:getDoor():setLocked(false)
        part:getDoor():setLockBroken(true)

        vehicle:transmitPartDoor(part)
    end
end
Events.OnClientCommand.Add(crowbarCommands)

not tested

the clientCommands you were trying to use is just a vanilla version

but you should be able to use these just fine

there isn't one that breaks the lock like you want

hence this

[verbal yew]

God...
I'm just ready to cut out the mini-game with a crowbar and take the working function, only instead of the chance to predetermine the time for lockpicking and wasting stamina...

[sour island]

Does this command not work?

[verbal yew]

nope.

[sour island]

error?

[verbal yew]

Most likely I'm doing something wrong...
maybe I don't use reqire in head of local function...

[sour island]

this shouldn't need a require

unless you mean for the other mod?

is this like a patch/expansion?

[verbal yew]

nope. this in one mod

[sour island]

which?

[verbal yew]

better lockpicking

[sour island]

what's that line exactly?

sendClientCommand(self.character, 'crowbar', 'vehicleDoor', { vehicle=lockpick_object:getVehicle():getId(), part=lockpick_object:getId() })?

that would imply lockpick_object = nil

[sour island]

do you use github?

[verbal yew]

nope

[sour island]

this is what defines that variable right?

[verbal yew]

should be

[sour island]

Where is CrowbarWindow:createVehicleDoor(playerObj, part) called?

seems like you're setting the part wrong

[verbal yew]

here

ISTimedActionQueue.add(EmptyAction:new(playerObj, CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor, nil, playerObj, part))

[sour island]

yeah looking

if part is nil at the end there's something wrong with how the argument is being passed

[verbal yew]

require "TimedActions/ISBaseTimedAction"

EmptyAction = ISBaseTimedAction:derive("EmptyAction")

function EmptyAction:isValid()
    return true
end

function EmptyAction:update()
end

function EmptyAction:start()
end

function EmptyAction:stop()
    ISBaseTimedAction.stop(self)
end

function EmptyAction:perform()
    self.func(self.arg1, self.arg2, self.arg3, self.arg4)
    ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self)
end

function EmptyAction:new(character, func, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)
    local o = {}
    setmetatable(o, self)
    self.__index = self
    o.character = character
    o.maxTime = 1
    
    o.func = func
    o.arg1 = arg1
    o.arg2 = arg2
    o.arg3 = arg3
    o.arg4 = arg4
    
    return o
end

but it's use in most part, for windows and door like thumb or isoObject

[sour island]

the first arguement is null for self?

ISTimedActionQueue.add(EmptyAction:new(playerObj, CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor, nil, playerObj, part))

[verbal yew]

character - playerObj
Func - CrowbarWindow
Arg1 - nil

or...

nah, idk

[sour island]

in here can you print the arguments before the command is called

and check the log

specifically print(lockpick_object)

may have to put tostring() around it

making CrowbarWindow:createVehicleDoor( use . instead and ditching the nil argument won't impact anything as well

[verbal yew]

yeeem...

[sour island]

so it's nil?

try the . on create and dropping the nil argument

[verbal yew]

looks like

ISTimedActionQueue.add(EmptyAction:new(playerObj, CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor, ., playerObj, part)) ?

[sour island]

., ?

[verbal yew]

I didn't understand what to try ^^'

[sour island]

ISTimedActionQueue.add(EmptyAction:new(playerObj, CrowbarWindow.createVehicleDoor, playerObj, part)

If this doesnt help, just put prints for part in all the steps

see where it goes wrong/gets lost

you're like 90% there

thanks for help

[sour island]

attempted index: getVehicle of non-table: null

it's the same error

so the issue wasn't how it's being called

part is nil to begin with

try putting a print in BetLock.UI.startLockpickingVehicleDoorCrowbar( for it's part

it will most likely be nil

Hello i need a little help with evolved recepies
i create a custom item CannedSauce
i have a recepie that open the cannedsauce to cannedsauceopen
the cannedsauceopen have some evolved recepies with pasta (for example), in game when i mix the cannedsauceopen with pasta i get "Open can Sauce pasta" instead of "sauce pasta"
this is the item

item CannedSauceOpen
{
DisplayName = Open can Sauce,
DisplayCategory = Food,
Type = Food,
Weight = 0.4,
Icon = CannedBologneseOpen,
CannedFood = TRUE,
EatType = can,
EvolvedRecipe = Pizza:12;Burger:12;Omelette:8;Stew:12;Stir fry Griddle Pan:12;Stir fry:12;Sandwich:8;Sandwich Baguette:8;Salad:12;Roasted Vegetables:12;PastaPot:12;PastaPan:12;RicePot:12;RicePan:12,
/EvolvedRecipeName = sauce,/
FoodType = Meat,
Packaged = TRUE,
ReplaceOnUse = TinCanEmpty,
DaysFresh = 3,
DaysTotallyRotten = 5,
HungerChange = -24,
Calories = 400,
Carbohydrates = 31,
Lipids = 9,
Proteins = 16,
StaticModel = CanOpen,
WorldStaticModel = CanOpenBolognese,
Tags = HasMetal,
}

[tardy wren]

add
EvolvedRecipeName = Sauce,

The very thing you have commented out

[distant ivy]

the line is /* EvolvedRecipeName = sauce, */
discord is formatting the ** the line is copied by a default open can

[verbal yew]

local function zReAdjustItem(Name, Property, Value)
    local Item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(Name)
    Item:DoParam(Property.." = "..Value)
 end

zReAdjustItem("AuthenticZLite.BunnyEars", "CanHaveHoles", "false");

If the mod is not connected, then an error appears referring to this line with the item.
Is there any way to improve the code so that if there is no item, it simply skips it?

but not like

if getActivatedMods():contains("AuthenticZLite") then
zReAdjustItem("AuthenticZLite.BunnyEars", "CanHaveHoles", "false");
end

[tardy wren]

Call the function in a pcall()

Or check if Item then

[verbal yew]

I didn't understand, a little

can u write example?

pcall(zReAdjustItem("AuthenticZLite.BunnyEars", "CanHaveHoles", "false"));?

[verbal yew]

emm...

[tardy wren]

Correct

[verbal yew]

local function zReAdjustItem(Name, Property, Value)
    local Item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(Name)
if Item then
    Item:DoParam(Property.." = "..Value)
end
 end

?

[tardy wren]

Yes

If there is no item of that name, the getItem returns nil

And nil inside an If evaluates to false

So it's a simple null-check

Probably the faster option tbh

thanks :3

[tiny wolf]

Do you know if there is a way to force the player to use an object in Perfect condition into a recipe ? To do not let him use used objects ?

[verbal yew]

yep

in recipe:
OnTest:MyModFuncName,
in lua folder on server side:

function MyModFuncName(sourceItem, result)
  if sourceItem:hasTag("zReRepairableVest") then -- OR ANOTHER METHOD TO CALL YOUR ITEM
    if sourceItem:getCondition() < sourceItem:getConditionMax() then
      return false
    end
  end
  return true
end

[tiny wolf]

You're my third sunshine of the day 👑 Thanks a lot

[verbal yew]

i reccomend add tooltip into recipe too

for string with reqire

[tiny wolf]

have you got an example ?

[verbal yew]

add it in recipe:
Tooltip:Tooltip_zReRAC_MustHaveHole,

translate file EN:

Tooltip_EN = {
    Tooltip_zReRAC_MustHaveHole = "Vest Armor must be damaged!<br>Take it off before repairing!<br> ",
}

for example

[tiny wolf]

Oh yes ok, to see it into the game 😉

[verbal yew]

look like

[tiny wolf]

into the IG_UI_EN ?

[verbal yew]

Tooltip_EN

[tiny wolf]

ok 👍 thank you

[tiny wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/kaboom-sports-kaboom-boom-explode-gif-16674174

[verbal yew]

now, I'm thinking....

it's work?

I just woke up, and for some reason now it seems to me that I missed something...

My recipe simply has three functions built in...

  keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.zReRAC_Is_Armor],  -- add item into recipe
  OnCreate:zReRAC_Repair_Armor,                -- func for result
  OnTest:zReRAC_Can_Repair_Armor,              -- check item condition

And now I'm trying to figure out whether there were links to others or not...

looks like not ^^'

[tiny wolf]

i gonna try

Tooltip Works

but my perfect item does'nt work into the recipe

but i commented your hasTag line to skip this condition

is it important ?

[verbal yew]

Yes, this should include items whose condition you want to test and which are used in the recipe.

[tiny wolf]

i'm adding

[tiny wolf]

no it doesn't work

condition is not true

[verbal yew]

send recipe and your lua func

[tiny wolf]

    recipe Vendre Pistolet Glock 18C
    {   destroy Base.EFK_G18C,
        keep TancredTrader,

        Result:    Money=168,
        CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
        Category:Money,
        Time:0,
        OnTest:Change_All_For_Money_OnTest,
        OnTest:ItemGoodCondition,
        Tooltip:Tooltip_EFK_ConditionReparation,        
    }

[verbal yew]

ah... 2 onTest

if i'm not wrong work only one

[tiny wolf]

arf ok

[verbal yew]

what do your OnTest:Change_All_For_Money_OnTest?

[tiny wolf]

i can do without

so i gonna try without it 😉

[verbal yew]

u can do stuff for items with another condition (bad or good) but it get u another money count - depending on condition item (in one recipe) ^^'

[tiny wolf]

    recipe Vendre Pistolet Glock 18C
    {   destroy Base.EFK_G18C,
        keep TancredTrader,

        Result:    Money=168,
        CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
        Category:Money,
        Time:0,
        OnTest:ItemGoodCondition,
        Tooltip:Tooltip_EFK_ConditionReparation,        
    }

it doesn't work too

function MyModFuncName(sourceItem, result)
    if sourceItem:hasTag("EFK_Selling") then -- OR ANOTHER METHOD TO CALL YOUR ITEM
      if sourceItem:getCondition() < sourceItem:getConditionMax() then
        return false
      end
    end
    return true
  end

ItemGoodCondition.lua into the server folder

    item    EFK_G18C    {    
                
    DisplayName                     =    Glock 18C Pistol    ,
    Icon                            =    G18,    
    WeaponSprite                    =    G18,    
    Type                            =    Weapon,    
    SubCategory                     =    Firearm,    
    Ranged                          =    TRUE,    
    IsAimedFirearm                  =    TRUE,    
    WeaponReloadType                =    handgun,    
    FireMode                        =    Auto,    
    FireModePossibilities           =    Auto/Single,    
    AttachmentType                  =    Holster,
    Tags = EFK_Selling,    

The Item have got the Tag EFK_Selling

[verbal yew]

hmm

OnTest:ItemGoodCondition,

but function MyModFuncName

OnTest should contain name of function

if OnTest:ItemGoodCondition, then function ItemGoodCondition(sourceItem, result)

[tiny wolf]

what a beginner mistake !

sorry i'm a little tired

i restart my tries 😉

[verbal yew]

don’t worry, Im far from ideal of coding and I know what it is xD

[tiny wolf]

Of course it works now 🤣

[verbal yew]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-cool-cool-thumbs-up-gif-16055854

[tiny wolf]

Thanks again mate 😉 🎉

[verbal yew]

nice

[verbal yew]

tip:
Add 'mod-tag' in name of func and where it call in OnTest.
like EFC_ItemGoodCondition, it's reduce chance for compatibility issue.

tip 2:
Ou! And file name ^^'

ItemGoodCondition just look like perhaps something that occurs frequently ^^'

most likely not, but the name is too non-individual

may be need do func local (like local function MyModFuncName(sourceItem, result), for reduce another thing, but i'm not sure can local func be called from another places, need ask veteran's of codding

[tiny wolf]

Yeah i'll add my mod name near to it 😉 thanks for this advices 🙂

[verbal yew]

By the way, a question!

Why u wont want sell any item on condition side?

it's possible do for get another count of money, condition dependent

[tiny wolf]

first answer : to be honnest i don't know how to do 🤣

[verbal yew]

u want?

i can help

[tiny wolf]

second one : i'm putting the Escape From Tarkov gameplay into the Project Zomboid game

[verbal yew]

not playing...

[tiny wolf]

Into Tarkov, people stop to buy the item after a condition

so into PZ, because player can repair weapon, it invite player to think when he loots or to repair to sell 😉

and i think it's harder and more interesting

final answer : all my project is based on the classic recipe system

i was looking for a good mod to manage buy/sell in solo i didn't find anything

and because next build will reset the classic recipe system, i don't look too much on little details for the moment about recipes 😉

just trying to make something working good with a lot of features

and will try to do better into every feature after 🙂

[tiny wolf]

but you question is really good 🙂 in perfect case i hope to let player sell an item 100 - 60 % with a decreased price

and under 60%, don't accept the item 😉

Who work with UI?

how to lock render with 60 FPS?

[drifting ore]

been forever but slowly getting back into it. you can force it. can probably do more with java side also
mainoptions.lua

getCore():getOptionUIRenderFPS()
getCore():setOptionUIRenderFPS()

[verbal yew]

Hmmm... I can get current FPS like number?

not option in setting

just like info?

i want try to use it

Current problem - Better Lockpicking has render UI with lockpicking and if your FPS high (more than 100 with UIFBO false) - this do more problem for lockpicking, arrow move very fast or bobbypin breaking so fast

Empirically, the following was identified:

if (getCore():getOptionUIFBO() == true) then
    arrowSpeed = 3    -- separate interface processing ON (30 fps) (Best for 30 fps)
    else
    arrowSpeed = 1.5 -- separate interface processing OFF (vsync 60 fps) (Best for 60 fps)
    -- But if FPS unlock some people has 400+ FPS and it's very big speed...
end

[bronze yoke]

you should use delta time rather than relying on the fps cap, otherwise slowdown/speedup are unavoidable

[verbal yew]

local arrowTex = getTexture("media/textures/BetLock_arrow.png") --
local arrow_scale_step = 0

local arrowSpeed = 0
if (getCore():getOptionUIFBO() == true) then
    arrowSpeed = 3    -- separate interface processing ON (30 fps)
    else
    arrowSpeed = 1.5 -- separate interface processing OF (vsync 60 fps)
    -- But if FPS unlock some people has 400+ FPS and it's very big speed...
end
--local zReBLfps = self:getFPS()

local arrow_dx = arrowSpeed
local arrow_step_to_x = (WINDOW_WIDTH - xShift*2)/100

local crowbarTimer = 0
local progressBarVal = 0

local lastRenderMillis = nil

function CrowbarWindow:render()
    self:drawText(getText("UI_Controls_Crowbar"), self.width/2 - (getTextManager():MeasureStringX(UIFont.Small, getText("UI_Controls_Crowbar")) / 2), 10, 1,1,1,1, UIFont.Small);

    self:drawProgressBar(xShift, yShift, WINDOW_WIDTH - xShift*2, 20, progressBarVal, {r=0, g=0.6, b=0, a=0.8 })
    self:drawRectBorder(xShift, yShift, WINDOW_WIDTH - xShift*2, 20, 1, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4)

    self:drawTexture(arrowTex, xShift - arrowTex:getWidth()/2 + arrow_scale_step*arrow_step_to_x, 75+30, 1, 1, 1, 1)
    
    local currentMillis = math.floor(getTimeInMillis())
    local isNewTimeStep = false
    if lastRenderMillis ~= currentMillis then
        lastRenderMillis = currentMillis
        isNewTimeStep = true
    end


    if crowbarTimer > 0 then return end
    
    local endurance = self.character:getStats():getEndurance()

    if endurance <= 0.5 then
        self:close()            --CrowbarWindow.instance:close()
        return
    end---
    
    if isNewTimeStep then
        arrow_scale_step = arrow_scale_step + arrow_dx
        if arrow_scale_step >= 100 then
            arrow_scale_step = 100
            arrow_dx = -arrowSpeed
        elseif arrow_scale_step <= 0 then
            arrow_scale_step = 0
            arrow_dx = arrowSpeed
        end
    end
end

[verbal yew]

tell me how to do this?

[kindred meadow]

i just made a weapon model in blender. how do i change where on the item my character holds?

[bronze yoke]

multiply by UIManager.getMillisSinceLastRender() when applying the movement

this way it will behave the same at any fps

[verbal yew]

Can you be more specific for complete dummies? ^^'

[bronze yoke]

wherever you move something, multiply the amount of movement by that

e.g. it looks like in this code it should be used as ```lua
arrow_scale_step = arrow_scale_step + arrow_dx * UIManager.getMillisSinceLastRender()

if i'm understanding how this code works

[verbal yew]

im try it now, thanks

holy sh...

okay. has big effect

trying put it something else, but your help so great, thanks a lot

    --local currentMillis = math.floor(getTimeInMillis())
    local currentMillis = UIManager.getMillisSinceLastRender() -- zReBL

perfect

[verbal yew]

but yep, your solution be smoother
arrow_scale_step = arrow_scale_step + (arrow_dx * UIManager.getMillisSinceLastRender() * 0.1)

Adding zombie loot

require "Items/SuburbsDistributions"

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "Base.Money")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 100.00)

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "Base.Money")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 100.00)

How do I set an item amount and add extra rolls? Also, will this override vanilla or modded item distributions in this table doing it this way?

My thought is to merge a new table into the existing table to avoid conflicts, but my thought process may be wrong.

[bronze yoke]

this won't override anything

the item amount is defined in the item script, and the number of rolls is specific to the container type

that is, it's not a per item thing, the entire container is rolled however many times it's set to

[random finch]

Hrmm, I would have to create new item entries to set the amount? Not something like this?
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "Base.Money:5")

[bronze yoke]

no, i don't think there's any trick like that

[random finch]

Hrmm, is it different for zombie loot? Maybe something like this will work.
#mod_development message

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, { name = "Base.Money", min = 1, max = 99, weightChance=50});

[bronze yoke]

that's for adding a loot table, not an item

i don't think zombie loot even supports multiple loot tables but if it did i don't think it'd be all that helpful anyway

[north arrow]

does anyone know if chanceOfAttachedWeapon works like degrade chance?

So it would be "1 out of X" X being the value its set to?

Or am I mistaken?

[remote sonnet]

Which event triggers when you update the sandbox settings?

[fast galleon]

Some sandbox options apply after restart or on new game. There is no event.

[fast galleon]

one is for success, the other is for fail.

[remote sonnet]

So how does a server update it's sandbox settings once they get modifed and saved ingame?
OnInitGlobalModData?

[fast galleon]

it processes the packet and applies to java and lua I guess. Saving is probably done on shutdown.

[remote sonnet]

local function CFIEnable()
    if SandboxVars.CustomizableFakeInfection.Enable == true then
        Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(UpdateFakeInfection)
        Events.EveryOneMinute.Add(CustomizableFakeInfection)
    end
end

Events."???".Add(CFIEnable)

I got that setting in the sandbox options that either enables or disables the script and I'm not quite sure on which event It should update

Or if it even needs an event. 😄

[fast galleon]

yeah, OnInitGlobalModData is good for this.

[random finch]

Has there been any major changes for item spawning since this was updated?

        local bodydmg = player:getBodyDamage();
                etc ...
                etc ...

So that modinit didn't work for me, I probably ducked it up. I just added the SandboxVar in question to the actual functions and it seems to work. 🤷

If it's set to false it'll just skip the function entirely.

[fast galleon]

not sure what you mean, this event triggers during loading. Before this event, the options will not be loaded from the save most times, unless you create a character. You need to quit to menu after you change the options.

[remote sonnet]

Uhh... so I got these functions

local function UpdateFakeInfection(player)
 -- Does Something
end
local function CustomizableFakeInfection()
 -- Does Something
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(UpdateFakeInfection)
Events.EveryOneMinute.Add(CustomizableFakeInfection)

Each of these functions now check for the SandboxVars.CustomizableFakeInfection.Enable == true and if it isn't true it'll just end the function.

local function UpdateFakeInfection(player)
    if SandboxVars.CustomizableFakeInfection.Enable == true then
         -- Does Something
    end
end
local function CustomizableFakeInfection()
    if SandboxVars.CustomizableFakeInfection.Enable == true then
         -- Does Something
    end
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(UpdateFakeInfection)
Events.EveryOneMinute.Add(CustomizableFakeInfection)

The whole thing is a huge Rube Goldberg machine 😂

can anyone explain what "OnCreate:BSItem_OnCreate" means

the wiki doesn't do a very good job

[fast galleon]

fyi, overlays don't change alpha in 41.78. The object sprite is barely visible but the overlay sprites are bright in darkness.
* this happens when you add overlay colour.

v.42 probably not an issue

#overlaySprite

[mellow frigate]

can you correct it by updating the overlay colors depending on some parameter on the rest of the tile changing depending on the darkness ?

[fast galleon]

At that point I'd rather add more sprites pre-coloured to the game.

[hollow current]

dunno if you solved yet but you'd want to loop over online players and return their coordinates

local playersList = getOnlinePlayers();
for i=1,playersList:size() do
  local player = playersList:get(i-1)
  local x = player:getX()
  local y = player:getY()
end```

keep in mind if you want this to reliably get *every* player it needs to be done on the server side

?

I was going to ask about that

lock being broken usually means it can't be opened doesn't it?

that's how the building windows work (don't they?)

[verbal yew]

yep, but vanilla not has this func, because in vanilla not have method for break Lock on usable car

we do it for Crowbar lockpicking

[sour island]

ah

[verbal yew]

crowbar break lock => but u can use lock func for trunk fine and it's do state to lock

for another door work fine

How i can close UI in this TimedAction:
https://github.com/kERHUS/zRe-Better-Lockpicking/blob/main/lua/client/Lockpicking/Actions/CrowbarActionAnim.lua

UI:
https://github.com/kERHUS/zRe-Better-Lockpicking/blob/main/lua/client/Lockpicking/Crowbar/CrowbarWindow.lua

local win = CrowbarWindow.instance
        win:setVisible(false);            -- zRe Force Close FIX
        win:removeFromUIManager();        -- zRe Force Close FIX
        win:close()                -- zRe Force Close FIX

[sour island]

that looks right?

[verbal yew]

i mean, where i should put that?

and should it be derive or require in headline?

[sour island]

I tend to go with whatever vanilla does for UI

so requiring the file is fine

[verbal yew]

i should do req, yep?

[sour island]

yeah

you can have multiple requires

just require the UI file if you're going to call that close

[verbal yew]

how about folder?
CrowbarActionAnim.lua in client/lockpicking/Actions folder
CrowbarWindow.lua in client/lockpicking/Crowbar folder

require "lockpicking/crowbar/CrowbarWindow"?

and where need put this:

put it above remove

wait

[verbal yew]

hmm, may be just copy function CrowbarWindow:close() without ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.character)

like :close2()

[sour island]

function gameNightWindow:closeAndRemove()
    self:setVisible(false)
    self.elements = {}
    self:clearMovingPiece()
    self:removeFromUIManager()
    if gameNightWindow.instance == self then gameNightWindow.instance = nil end
end

I usually write my own close which includes remove

[verbal yew]

i think ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.character) in function CrowbarWindow:close() just workaround, when u complete minigame

function CrowbarActionAnim:new(character, isGarage, lockpick_object)
    local o = {}
    local zReBLLO = self.lockpick_object
    setmetatable(o, self)
    self.__index = self
    o.character = character
    o.lockpick_object = lockpick_object
    o.maxTime = 50000
    o.isGarage = isGarage
    
    return o
end

action time 50000

hhmhmhmh

brain assault

okey,may be i'm understood, I'll try some stuff

[sour island]

If you need the action to continue while the game goes on you can just make the action looped

[verbal yew]

this is action looped when minigame goes

it's work fine

[sour island]

Are you using a timed action to make the player animate?

[verbal yew]

but when u atacked by zombies - it's turn off control

like this

u can't move by SWDA, because minigame change control mode

only with mouse

your animation stop

but UI not close

[sour island]

you can use update() in the UI

function gameNightWindow:update()
    if (not self.player) or (not self.square) or ( self.square:DistToProper(self.player) > 1.5 ) then
        self:closeAndRemove()
        return
    end

you can pull the current action

[verbal yew]

hmhmhmh

[sour island]

but what you have should work

[verbal yew]

okey. im try it, thanks for tip

[verbal yew]

nice, work without drop into error

but not control

swda not work xD

    --ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.character)

    CrowbarWindow.instance = nil
    ISPanel.close(self)
end

[sour island]

you can grab the action's update

i forget what the function is called

could end the action if there's no instance open

[sudden kestrel]

making a pretty simple mod for a few buddies and had a question im wondering about

how would you go about changing

CustomEatSound = DrinkFromCarton
to another sound of your choice?

ive attempted just switching the name of the mp3 to the name of my sound which didnt work

[fast galleon]

Did you create a sound script?

[sudden kestrel]

I only have 1 script with the item and its consume sound, changed that consume sound to be
CustomEatSound = media/sound/mysoundname

hopefully that works

nah didnt work

wait

[fast galleon]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts_guide/Sound_Script_Guide

[sudden kestrel]

@fast galleon would it be

{
category = player,
clip
{ event = character/survival/drink/blank,
}
}```

thats my maybe guess

[fast galleon]

no add file = path to your sound

[sudden kestrel]

file = media/sound/filename

got it

[fast galleon]

    sound zxCalloutGetOverHere
    {
        category = Player,
        clip { file = media/sound/scorpion-get_over_here.mp3, volume = 0.5,}
    }

[sudden kestrel]

mine is up being

sound DrinkingFromChocolate
{
category = Player,
clip
{
file = media/sound/samsulekmilk,
}
}```

I seem to have forgotten the .mp3

also volume might come in handy later on

@fast galleon thank you for your help

I actually got the sound working

might have to tune it a tad down as it just blew my head off but I am one step closer

today I custom drew pixel art for the icon, made up the mod files and now the sound file

just need the ingame models for dropping it on the floor and holding it

wait maybe nvm just a holding it model

this ones funny

oops I dropped my PNG

as for how it looks in the inventory

[verbal yew]

i do it!

but with madness workaround

perfect!

[tropic hedge]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing modData using ModData.add(String key, LuaTable table).

For some reason if the client doesn't close correctly, the moddata may not be saved to the harddisk.
Is something missing? Like an event?

I found in the documentation ( https://www.projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/world/moddata/GlobalModData.html ) that there is Java API Moddata:save(), but is say:

" TurboTuTone. This class is not exposed to Lua, ModData.java which callbacks to this is exposed instead. "

Is there any way to use it? There is a solution?

Thank you

[bronze yoke]

ModData is the lua api for GlobalModData, if that doesn't have it you're probably out of luck

you can write files and read them in if it's absolutely critical

[fast galleon]

it should not matter how the client closes, but how the server closes. This is made to be on the server.

[tropic hedge]

Are you suggesting manually saving the content of the moddata to a file and then retrieving it?

[tropic hedge]

i noticed this issue both in single player and in multiplayer. I work on linux, if you write moddata ( pressing g ) and forcibly terminate it ( using xkill on Linux ) sometimes the file are lost, approximately 50% of the time

[fast galleon]

in debug mode you need to properly quit, out of debug it's a bit safer from my experience.

It's not only the moddata that is not saved...

[tropic hedge]

I absolutely agree, but there can be cases where the client crashes inadvertently, and I must handle this situation.
My mod relies on recovering information present in the moddata.
I can work around the issues by creating and handling the file independently, but is there a specific API I would prefer to use

[fast galleon]

How often do you change the data? Normally you send it to server as soon as it needs to be changed.

[tropic hedge]

The mod was created to host PVP events.
Therefore, it creates a local copy of the character. In case of death, the character can be retrieved.
The mod works correctly; out of 16 participants, 4 experienced crashes for unknown reasons.
In those cases, the mod didn't perform well. On their server, there are hundreds of mods, and as far as I know, my mod hasn't caused any crashes.

[fast galleon]

well I still lean towards saving it on server, unless it's something that is allowed to be changed by the users.

[tropic hedge]

Okay, What do you recommend? I'm new to the world of modding and I'm here to learn.
Do you have any mod/code to inspire me?

[fast galleon]

This is not exactly something I'm very familiar with. I do have some irregular syncing mods, but nothing inspiring.

[vernal island]

how do I force player to wear welding mask in a recipe script?

[tropic hedge]

I only know these two methods

• ModData.transmit(String key)
• ModData.request(String key)

[random finch]

So, I want to use sandbox vars for distributions. Seems sandbox vars are loaded after distribution tables. Tried using ItemPickerJava.Parse() on Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add. Results in LootZed tables being correct but the item will not drop.

Any other suggestions?

[sour island]

These are used to relay the data from servers to clients and vice versa. You'd still want to use the get methods to grab the subtable matching the ID used in transmit/request

Also, by chance - the message above related to your next step - as there are events when data is received

that's when you can decide how to treat the data

You don't really need to house the data on clientside at all - so I would suggest keeping it on server and pulling it when needed

Actually 🤔

If the globalmoddata never gets wiped for players' version of it

you may not need the server at all

I'm pretty sure that data is tied to the world/save

even in MP

[neon bronze]

anyone knows how you can use rgb in translations?

[hollow lodge]

I can't seem to recreate a fannypack item by copying the same vanilla coding, everything works fine ingame except there is no model showing

item MedicalFannyPackFront
{
DisplayCategory = Bag,
WeightReduction = 50,
ClothingItemExtra = MedicalFannyPackBack,
ClothingItemExtraOption = FannyPack_WearBack,
clothingExtraSubmenu = FannyPack_WearFront,
Weight = 0.2,
Type = Container,
Capacity = 1,
DisplayName = Medical Fanny Pack (Front),
Icon = MedicalFannyPack,
OpenSound = OpenBag,
CloseSound = CloseBag,
PutInSound = PutItemInBag,
BodyLocation = FannyPackFront,
ClothingItem = MedicalFannyPackFront,
CanBeEquipped = FannyPackFront,
RunSpeedModifier = 0.98,
WorldStaticModel = FannyPack_Ground,
}

item MedicalFannyPackBack
    {
        DisplayCategory = Bag,
        WeightReduction    =    50,
        ClothingItemExtra = MedicalFannyPackFront,
        ClothingItemExtraOption = FannyPack_WearFront,
        clothingExtraSubmenu = FannyPack_WearBack,
        Weight    =    0.2,
        Type    =    Container,
        Capacity    =    1,
        DisplayName    =    Medical Fanny Pack (Back),
        Icon    =    MedicalFannyPack,
        OpenSound   =   OpenBag,
        CloseSound   =   CloseBag,
        PutInSound   =   PutItemInBag,
        BodyLocation = FannyPackBack,
        ClothingItem = MedicalFannyPackBack,
        CanBeEquipped = FannyPackBack,
        RunSpeedModifier = 0.98,
        WorldStaticModel = FannyPack_Ground,
}

I just copied everything from the vanilla files, except I added the "Medical" here and there

[winter bolt]

the line "ClothingItem = MedicalFannyPackBack" refers to the .xml files inside media/clothing/clothingitems

[urban wind]

Dont quote me on this as I'm brand spanking new to modding.... but I think that ClothingItem = MedicalFannyPackBack, should just be default (ClothingItem = FannyPackBack, if that's the default).

My guess is the script pointing towards a particular model for the clothing item, MedicalFannyPack, which doesn't exist, so it just doesn't display.

The world model isn't the same as the static model used by characters, so you can't just point towards the ground model, which I believe already has x,y,z, attributes appointed to it.

Again, this is just an educated guess, try it out and LMK

yeah what @spongie said

[winter bolt]

yeah you'll have to make a new .xml file in that folder which you reference in the item script

inside the xml file you'll need to replace the GUID tag with a new GUID so that it doesn't conflict with any other files. you'll also need to make a "media/fileguidtable.xml" where you reference your new clothingitem .xml file as well as its GUID

you can copy the fileguidtable from the vanilla files and use it as a base to start from, just delete everything in there except for your new items

[hollow lodge]

yes, I had both front and back.xml all set up

I did all those steps

everything shows up on the game except from the model

[winter bolt]

did you add them to the fileguidtable?

[hollow lodge]

yes

<files>
<path>media/clothing/clothingItems/MedicalFannyPackBack.xml</path>
<guid>bb4d7252-0769-45ac-b23d-900c549f1043</guid>
</files>
<files>
<path>media/clothing/clothingItems/MedicalFannyPackFront.xml</path>
<guid>f12278ad-58f3-4bb0-aa30-858e34e9eb91</guid>
</files>

[winter bolt]

oh weird

[heady crystal]

Does anybody know if it's possible to fetch a zombie's current animation being played?

[winter bolt]

what do the xml files look like?

[hollow lodge]

pretty much like the vanilla one

it's literally a copypaste

the only thing I found strange is that I copied the vanilla .x models for this one

and they looked like this

[winter bolt]

thats what the importer does to them it should be fine

[hollow lodge]

the uv map is out of the space

I tried doing it without the models in my mod folder, so it should run to the gamefiles

didn't work either

[winter bolt]

i noticed that the model names in the vanilla file has a typo lol

idk if thats connected or if the actual model name is the same

[hollow lodge]

no, they are just to tell them apart, the front and back models

so they are also listed one below the other

they are labeled that way on purpose

[winter bolt]

like it says Pact instead of Pack

[hollow lodge]

PACK for the front models, PACT for the back models lol

yea

[winter bolt]

but it has back at the end lol

[hollow lodge]

yea the models are named that

it's all on purpose

idk why

they just did it, and it works

[winter bolt]

i cant tell what might be messing it up

the only kind of problem in the vanilla file is that they included the "media/models_x" thing and the ".x" when they dont need to include either of those

but that usually doesnt break anything

try checking the console in debug mode when you equip it and see if it says anything maybe

it usually mentions if it cant find the xml file

[hollow lodge]

Ok I'll check

I tried converting them to .fbx and erase the .x on the .xml and still didn't work

I'm sure I'm missing something so little

[verbal yew]

Need help.
How to check all self inventory (with backpack) for items on has tag?
How to remove this item, if they exist (one count, X count)?

self.character:getInventory():containsTag("MyTag")?

[sour island]

There's recursive checks

Check the java file for item containers

There's a boatload of methods

[verbal yew]

getFirstTagRecurse?

local myitem = self.character:getInventory():getFirstTagRecurse("MyTag")
myitem:Remove?

[sour island]

That gets 1, the first found

You'd need to use container:remove()

[verbal yew]

nice, it's looks i need for my one count

[verbal yew]

container:remove(myitem)?

[sour island]

The container in this case is the players inventory

So self.character:getInventory() etc

[verbal yew]

self.character:getInventory():container:remove(myitem)

[verbal yew]

                    if win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("BobbyPin") then  -- containsType
                          win.character:getInventory():getContainer():Remove():getFirstTypeRecurse("BobbyPin")    
                          -- win.character:getInventory():Remove("BobbyPin")
                    elseif win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("HandmadeBobbyPin") then -- containsType
                        win.character:getInventory():getContainer():Remove():getFirstTypeRecurse("HandmadeBobbyPin") 
                        -- win.character:getInventory():Remove("BobbyPin")
                    else
                        win.breakTimer = 2
                        win.isFailEnd = true
                    end
                    if not (win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("BobbyPin") or                           win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("HandmadeBobbyPin")) then     -- containsType
                        win.breakTimer = 2
                        win.isFailEnd = true
                    end

comments - original

not work...

remove item's from inventory, but if them in backpack - nope

[hollow lodge]

@winter bolt I fixed it, I had the texture path wrong all this time

[winter bolt]

ohh

[sour island]

Maybe there's another function for deeper recurse

Although recursive should be that lol

Oh I see something that may be wrong

Isn't inventory the container?

Does getInventory():get container() do anything?

[blissful salmon]

I have a "mayby" simple question. For a timed action I equip two items:
ISWorldObjectContextMenu.equip(player, player:getPrimaryHandItem(), tool, true) ISWorldObjectContextMenu.equip(player, player:getSecondaryHandItem(), item, false)
after the action is done I want to convert the "item" to another one which is added to the inventory.
The problem appears when I try to remove the old item in the SecondaryHand. So far I tried to remove it with the following code:
ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.unequipItem(self.item, self.character:getPlayerNum()) self.character:getInventory():DoRemoveItem(self.item)
What I expect is the same behavior when a weapon breaks. The weapon disappears and the broken item is in the inventory. Is there a simple way to do it?

[bronze yoke]

did you call ItemPickerJava.Parse() before adding to the distributions instead of after? the lootzed inconsistency is caused by changing the tables but *not* pushing them to the item picker after

[random finch]

I have been doing it after. Pretty much at loss for now trying different events.

[verbal yew]

not sure i just take it from vanilla:

 items = playerInv:getSomeTypeEvalRecurse(itemFullType, buildUtil.predicateMaterial, itemCount)
                for i=1,items:size() do
                    local item = items:get(i-1)
                    playerObj:removeFromHands(item)
                    if item:getContainer() then
                        item:getContainer():Remove(item);
                    else
                        playerInv:Remove(item)
                    end
                    itemCount = itemCount - 1
                    table.insert(consumedItems, item)
                end

but removed array (massive, not know how it be on eng)

okey, looks like i do something wrong

[sour island]

Item container is the object type

Player:getInventory is a item container

You are trying to get the container of a container

Also I'm not home, so I might be remembering wrong

This should be producing an error or something

[verbal yew]

local zReBLBP = win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("BobbyPin")
local zReBLHBP = win.character:getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("HandmadeBobbyPin")
                    if zReBLBP then    -- containsType
                        win.character:getInventory():Remove(zReBLBP)
                    elseif zReBLHBP then -- containsType
                        win.character:getInventory():Remove(zReBLHBP)
                    else

[sour island]

Any errors?

[verbal yew]

not know, test in progress

[sour island]

If this doesn't error out - then the method for finding the item isn't what it's advertised as

[verbal yew]

finding work fine

but remove method not work

nope!

Work on inventory

but not trigger into backpack

hmhmhmh

Am I mistaken, isn't get inventory an item container?

[mellow frigate]

it is the main inventory container

[verbal yew]

LEGEND!

work

thanks so much :3

[mellow frigate]

not all functions are recursive and once the getFirstRecurse is valid the lower layer (backpack) container can be retrieved directly from the item.

[blissful salmon]

It seems I could solve my issue with:
self.character:removeFromHands(self.item) self.character:getInventory():DoRemoveItem(self.item)

[verbal yew]

I think all the mistakes are in Better Lockpicking been fixed

hmhmhmh...

[sour island]

Ah, I get it now. Whoops.

Chuck, remember u write thing for client-server command to sync vehicle

it's should be do for doors and windows like Thumbnail or IsoObject? (not car doors)

i'm just nothing see in vanilla doing client-server command...

function ISLockDoor:perform()
    local soundPrefix = self:getSoundPrefix()
    if self.lock then
        self.door:setLockedByKey(true);
        self.character:getEmitter():playSound(soundPrefix .. "Lock");
--        getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("lockDoor", self.door:getSquare(), 0, 10, 0.7, true);
    else
        self.door:setLockedByKey(false);
        self.character:getEmitter():playSound(soundPrefix .. "Unlock");
--        getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("unlockDoor", self.door:getSquare(), 0, 10, 0.7, true);
    end

    local doubleDoorObjects = buildUtil.getDoubleDoorObjects(self.door)
    for i=1,#doubleDoorObjects do
        local object = doubleDoorObjects[i]
        object:setLockedByKey(self.lock)
    end

    local garageDoorObjects = buildUtil.getGarageDoorObjects(self.door)
    for i=1,#garageDoorObjects do
        local object = garageDoorObjects[i]
        object:setLockedByKey(self.lock)
    end

    -- needed to remove from queue / start next.
    ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self);
end

And to be honest, I don’t know if it syncs... need testing...

[sour island]

There is vanilla stuff the file doesn't appear in the documenting tools though

[verbal yew]

yeah, i test it with friend. that normal sync without any send client-server command

sounds of relief

[sour island]

Yeah most things are relayed

[crisp leaf]

How do y'all create items? I'm so tired of manually copy pasting stuff I've already made and generation is HORRIBLE to configure, just wondering if y'all use some tool or smth.

[urban wind]

Howdy party people

Quick question, anyone know about how the RNG generator works? I'm trying to code for an item I've made to make it super rare (1 in a million example)

[sour island]

If you mean for loot, the chance varies

[urban wind]

right, but why are some items on the table 4? Shouldn't the rolls be between 0 and 1?

[sour island]

rolls are how many times the chance is 'rolled'

[urban wind]

oh because it's adjusting the weighting to compensate for the rolls, got it

yup ok just answered my own question lol

yah in a container with one roll, an item that has 50% chance to spawn would read as 0.5, where as in container with two rolls it would be 1

Right?

[bronze yoke]

they're technically 0 to 100

but the default spawn settings reduce the chances by 60%

so on default settings it's really more like 0 to 250

[urban wind]

😕

If the rolls are between 0 to 100 on default, wouldnt it reduce it to 1 to 60
