systems have to be written to use tags instead of directly referencing specific items

#

iirc all the vehicle stuff just directly references the vanilla items they use

mellow frigate
#

exactly there is no tag

bronze yoke
#

so it is not trivial to add new items to them

Trying to do a recipe that requires foraging,

is foraging the wrong word though?

I know like Metalworking is MetalWelding , so is there a similar thing for Foraging?

Maybe a guru can confirm this for me... In single player any code will stay resident in the game no matter what. But on a multiplayer server all map changes must go through the server? Does this mean that if I create a function that destroys and replaces a sprite object into a container item that the server must run the code, not the client? Or does the client just need to update the server on the removed sprite and update the new container to the server? Thank you for any replies. digging through the forums and it seems like its all seperated but I do not understand how to make this connect.

When it comes to commissioning mods, where would y'all say would be the most approriate or way to find people for that case of scenario?

outer crypt
#

It seems that I can use this command to remove the old sprite. But then the new object has not way to update. transmitRemoveItemFromSquareOnServer()

I know it's very weird question, but is it possible to empty the recipe result?

        {
    farming.Strewberrie=15,
    ATTS.Zamabox1=1,
    Result: ATTS.ZaFarmbox=1,
        ~~~~~~~~~~~
    OnCreate:Zafarmresult,
        }```
#

And this is Zafarmresult, function Zafarmresult(items, result, player) local gambletime = ZombRand(1, 100); if gambletime < 24 then player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PaintYellow"); elseif gambletime < 75 then player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PaintWhite"); else player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PaintBrown"); end player:getInventory():RemoveOneOf("ATTS.ZaFarmbox"); end

RemoveResultItem:true

I tried to remove the result in Onc

#

winter thunder
#

Weird question, but I think I might need some help trying to figure this out. I have variables I want to keep track of through a recipe. The player is allowed to use a set of different items for the recipe, but I want to keep track of how many of each item they used.

So, if the options for the recipe were effectively 10 total = Ruby, Sapphire, and/or Emerald. And they could use any combination that added up to the total.

I am trying to figure out how to go through that list and check the corresponding values to push that to the end result of the recipe.

verbal yew
#

like require item ruby/sapphire/emerald

#

1 count

#
  • OnTest:func
#

where u return true if total count 10

#
  • OnCreate:func2
    where u remove 10 items
#
  • Tooltip:localisation string
#

where u write thing like:
"On total count should be =10!"

#

thats all

#

for remove items u can use cicle for with count 9 where u check Inventory like:
if has ruby then remove 1 ruby
elseif has emerald then remove 1 emerald
elseif sapphire then remove 1 sapphire
end

#

i hope u understand me 😅

You want to replace a tile when it is first spawned? Take a look at some of game's map files like server/Map/MapObjects/MOCampfire.lua and MOCompost.lua.

fast galleon
# fast galleon You want to replace a tile when it is first spawned? Take a look at some of game...

Also, maybe your issue is from how you change the sprite properties. It's best to change them during loading, before the map chunk start loading.

Hi

I still struggling with my problem form above:
#mod_development message
So far I found out that if I use the following lines to add and remove the items nothing seams to happen on the client.

container:addItemOnServer(resultItem)
container:removeItemOnServer(item)

But if I exit my hosted game (local) and restart. The container contains the correct item and the old one is removed. So it assume that the container doesn't sync to the clients. But I found no function to enforce a sync or something similar.
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this?

Anyone got an idea of how to add a custom part to the vehicle mechanics menu/a reference to how its done in vanilla? Can't seem to find it

bronze yoke
#

as long as the part exists it will be in the menu

fast galleon
#

nodisplay is for not appearing, use other categories.

hollow current
bronze yoke
#

you create it in the vehicle script

hollow current
#

ah i found it in the scripts folder ye

#

there a way to make a part exclusive to certain vehicles?

bronze yoke
#

it is only on the vehicles that it is defined in

fast galleon
bronze yoke
#

parts don't exist independently of vehicles, they are a child element

#

you can inherit from them as 'templates' to emulate that

fast galleon
#

A vehicle will only have the parts from it's script.

hollow current
#

ah so i need to create a template first for the part then add it to the vehicle's script file, got it

#

thanks so much!

bronze yoke
#

you don't have to create a template if it's only for one vehicle, it's just so you can reuse script without copy pasting

hollow current
#

i am actually adding a custom part, airbag, to multiple vanilla vehicles

hollow current
#

Any idea why a simple template file isn't working when I am trying to add it to a vanilla vehicle script? Adding the part directly to the script works

module Base
{
    template vehicle Airbag
    {
        part Airbag
        {
            area = Engine,
        }
    }
}```

Vehicle's script:

...
template = Battery,
template = Airbag,
template = Engine,
template = Muffler,
template = EngineDoor,
...```

#

Added it using this script. Works better for my approach

tame mulch

#

@hollow current you just want add airbags to vanilla cars? Then better not overwrite vanilla scripts. Some mods can do same and then your mod will not work with this mods

hollow current
#

yea renaming the file worked

hollow current
#

either ways I am gonna resort to the script-ish way of adding the part instead of modifying the actual vehicle script file

#

that way I will have more freedom on which vehicles to target, since I aim to have an option for lore-friendly airbags

Is it possible to speed up tile erosion with code?

small topaz
# lusty marsh Is there any way to access the fields in java classes from Lua? I can see in the...

You should be able to call all methods listed in the java doc you linked in lua code. To get an idea what body locations the vanilla game has, you can check the vanilla code in media/lua/shared/NPCs/BodyLocations.lua. This file lists all body locations present in vanilla game and contains info about related stuff (e.g. what locations are exclusive, what locations hide other locations etc.). This file also should give you an idea how to use the java methods in lua code.

lusty marsh
#

I did always wonder where that was defined, thanks! I haven't touched java in a while and just remembered the field I wanted will be private so I can't get to it. my issue is that there's a private field called exclusive that I seemingly can't access from lua

#

the only way to get to it seems to be through a method isExclusive which is really annoying because I'm having to compare every body location to see if they are exclusive with each other

small topaz
#

@lusty marsh a method literally called "exclusive" seems indeed not present for the bodylocation class. but there is setExclusive and isExclusive

lusty marsh
#

maybe I should have clarified, I'm trying to find what a bodylocation is exclusive with not change it myself

small topaz
# lusty marsh the only way to get to it seems to be through a method `isExclusive` which is re...

To do this, you can check the lua code I mentioned and just read off what body locations the game declares as being exclusive, then hard-code whatever you'd like to do with them. As an alternative way, you can also iterate through all body locations via lua code and then test for exclusiveness. The latter method might be even a little bit better since it might increase compatibility with future vanilla updates as well as compatibility with other mods (updates or mods which change body locations or add new ones). But depends on what the specific goals of your work are ofc.

lusty marsh
#

yeah I'm doing the latter rn I was just seeing if it could be done a little cleaner bc it's going to get slower as the new locations stack up from other mods but it looks like this is my best method, thanks anyway!

small topaz
#

in case you just have to iterate once (say before game starts) there probably won't be any performance issues since there aren't so many body locations. even if mods adds new ones, chances are good that you won't have 1000s of them

lusty marsh
#

yeah true, I was told there was some performance problems so I was squeezing it out of everywhere but there's probably something I'm missing elsewhere in my mod

small topaz
#

hmmm... I am definitely not an expert on performance questions but a single iteration through body locations shouldn't be a huge issue I guess...

#

(presupposed that you don't iterate through them all the time during actual game play)

lusty marsh
#

dw I think I just had a brainfart I read my code again and I think it might have been reapplying clothing items to the model in a loop so that's probably what was wrongstressed

Hello frens pepeHappy
I'm running a modded server to play with some friends, but some mods aren't translated into our language. Not all mods have a GitHub page, so I cannot necessarily create a PR for all of them.

You can just include the structure in the translate folder, nothing else. The game will pickup the translations and add them.

how do i find the id for a food item that's cooked

#

coz i wanna use cooked meats for a custom recipe but i can only find the raw base item in items_food.txt

drifting ore
#

or whats the function i need to check if an item is cooked

#

coz i found

function Recipe.OnCanPerform.Uncooked(recipe, playerObj, item)
    if item and not instanceof(item, "Food") then return true end
    return item and not (item:isCooked() or item:isBurnt())
end

but from what i understand it tells you if the item is uncooked but i need it to only allow the recipe to continue if the item is cooked

#

@tranquil kindle do you know which it would be

drifting ore
#

I just modified it to be```
function Recipe.OnCanPerform.Cooked(recipe, playerObj, item)
if item and not instanceof(item, "Food") then return true end
return item and not (item:isUncooked() or item:isBurnt())
end

#

hopefully should work

drifting ore
#

forgot about boolean algebra

#

damn you de morgen

drifting ore
frank elbow
#

On the topic of boolean algebra, if you do make that change you can simplify the expression

drifting ore
frank elbow
#

It doesn't, because you'd be replacing the isCooked call with the negation of its result

#

nand? It'd be DeMorgan's law, which you referenced

drifting ore
#

right

#

but i said damn you de morgen coz i hate his laws

#

always forgot them

#

would it just be

    if item and not instanceof(item, "Food") then return true end
    return item and not (item:isCooked() or item:isBurnt())
end
``` then
frank elbow
#

The function you're modifying has return item and not (X or Y). You want the négation of X while still not wanting it to be burnt (I assume), meaning you would change it to item and not (not X or Y). Application of the law on the latter part of the expression means distributing the negation and changing or to and

#

In other words, item and X and not Y

drifting ore
#

oh right

#

yeah i remember commutative and associative and shit but not de morgen's

#

even tho his laws are arguably easier since they're similar but opposite if you know what i mean

frank elbow
#

Tbf I never actually think of the law, once you're used to it you can just apply it without needing to think through the logic

#

I say that to say I wouldn't worry all that much about not remembering the exact laws (unless you're studying CS)

drifting ore
#

i remind myself when i use them so i can think to myself "fuck you de morgen"

drifting ore
frank elbow
#

Gotcha, in that case it's worth knowing for the classes that ask for it then lol

I haven't created any real mods, but I googled a bit and there seem to be a mod data object that you can store data on

#

You might be able to use that to store the duration and strength data on the player and then retrieve it later on

Hi everyone! Do anyone knows if there is a way to open a TCP/UDP connection to an external server from the client side and of course, I'm not talking about the PZ official server tool. Is there any API in Lua modding for that or do I need to mod the Java part to make this work?

So you want to access an HTTP API? I'm not sure about that, tbh.

Exactly! In more details: I want to make a live-map website and my mod needs to be able to send the player position once every second or so.

So I'm trying to make a recipe for a fishing net from Ivery's Mod to catch shrimp.

It works when you place it down because its considered an item, but then when you pick it up , its a moveable and the game no longer recognizes it for the recipe. How could I fix this?

  keep ivery_SmallFishnet/ivery.Moveables.ivery_community_01_75,

is it possible to make a item that can only be used X amount of times to craft? if so, how?

look like it doing with drainable items

autumn temple
#

bronze yoke
#

alright, i didnt know if it had to be drainable exlusively or if i could keep it as an item. but i will have to do some ghetto trickery to get it to behave how i want

# verbal yew .

So I've changed it to say the following:

recipe Fish For Shrimp
  {
  keep ivery_SmallFishnet/Moveables.ivery_community_01_75,
  BaitFish=2,
  
  Result:Shrimp,
  Time:10.0,
  Category:Fishing,
  Sound:Hammering,
  SkillRequired:Fishing=7,
  }

The issue is , the item is also a tile, so when its picked up having been placed down it becomes Moveable, but that's not an item in the item list. How would I make the tile into an Item specifically?

#

hmmm... i'm not have issue when im use moveable items in my recipes

#

i think u should find what items in tile

stray willow

That's somethign I'm struggling with too, because I could just make a moveable item with the exact appearance.

# 
item LabChromatograph {
        Type = Moveable,
        DisplayCategory = Furniture,
        Icon = LabChromatograph,

        DisplayName = LabChromatograph,
        WorldObjectSprite    = demonius_vaccine_01_4,
        Tooltip = Tooltip_LabChromatograph,
    }
#

WorldObjectSprite = demonius_vaccine_01_4, - it's tile

#

but in total its Moveable.LabChromatograph

#

for example

#

same stuff should be in your mod

#

some item has WorldObjectSprite = ivery_community_01_75

stray willow
#

Oh from Demonius' Right..
So I see how liek the item is still called even after placing 🤔 and its name doesn't change.

Screenshot_305.png

#

your mod not have item for tile

#

maybe it's main problem

stray willow
#

Guess I'll need to play around with it more then

Where do you have Moveable.LabChromatograph in your items though? Is just marking it as type = Moveable enough?

Gotcha okay, so every tile needs an item for it? It just seems like the item reverts is my issue. I'll play around with it more though

verbal yew
stray willow
#

Maybe it's just that specific tileset. 🤔

verbal yew
#

just create item in script like module Base { item MyItem { Type = Moveable, DisplayCategory = Furniture, Icon = MyItem, Weight = 2.0, DisplayName = MyItem, WorldObjectSprite = ivery_community_01_75, Tooltip = Tooltip_MyItem, } }

I have been calling it from a timed action sequence. It updates perfectly for a single player game. In multiplayer it shows up as updated until it transfers to another player. Then the customweight and uses reverts to the initial weights and uses.

Basically I want to use the emote comehere for a recipe on a server that will be used with other people. if that makes sense 😅

fast galleon
#

make a mod with same file structure media/AnimSets/player/actions fix for typos.

#

You can manually play an emote during crafting, go with whatever you think is easier. Making the XML should be easier.

Hey just curious, whats the last lua event to load when the game starts? Trying to load an event but it seems to be triggering too early, I've tried OnLoad but no joy.

I guess an alternative would be run the event using EveryMinute and make it initially call a function which checks if the functions/objects exist yet then remove the event, not sure if that would work though?

Anyone got a quick example on how you would go about overriding an existing IsoGameCharacter method with a conditional which either runs a new method, or the original?

# 
local original = IsoGameCharacter.originalMethod

IsoGameCharacter.originalMethod = ...

My issue is on how to use/pass on self.

fast galleon
#

self (arg 1) is the class object, then follow the rest of the arguments, if there are any.

#

You would need to patch the function of the target class, so IsoPlayer for example and not IsoGameCharacter.

Is it possible to make a mod that allows you to attach more containers to your body?
i.e. backpack on your back, fanny packs on front and back.. then the mod could add duffle bag on side, first aid kit on hip etc...

So I was looking in regards to soundblocks, and while looking at skill journals I saw this:

    {

        clip { file = media/sound/Pencil2.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pencil3.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pencil4.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pencil5.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pencil6.ogg, }
    }

    sound PenWriteSounds
    {
        clip { file = media/sound/Pen1.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pen2.ogg, }
        clip { file = media/sound/Pen3.ogg, }
    }

If its written like that, does it mean it plays all of those sounds?

#

Or does it randomly choose one or how would the game read it?

{
category = Item,
    is3D = true,
    clip {file = media/sound/wildturkey.wav, }
    clip {file = media/sound/wildturkey2.wav, }
}

I tried to make my own with wildturkey sounds and the first one is a turkey gobbling and the second is a gunshot being fired so I was wondering if that would work 🤔

#

is it the "UseDelta" part?

#

0.25 means it uses 0.25 of the entire thing and it means the item has 4 charges?

and if yes, can i change it to any custom amount while making a new item or do i need to write a lua for it like we do with custom exp amounts?

my guess is still that you simply forgot something while setting up everything. bringing 3d models into game requires completition of several steps and is super prone to errors. at least for me, it almost always happens that I am convinced that I've done everything right and the model still isn't there. it always turns out that I still forgot smth. 😅 can only speak for me but my guess is that other modders (even experienced ones) know this as well.

so I suggest to double, triple and also quadruple check everything you've done. you might also have a look at other working mods introducing new 3d items and try to set up everything in the same way as those mods.

as albion said, you also have to set up a special script entry of the form

{
    mesh = WorldItems/JarFood,
    texture = WorldItems/JarFoodBellPeppers,
    scale = 0.4,

those entries can be added to a new txt file in your mod's script folder and appended to module Base { }. I am not exactly sure about naming convention for those file and its entries. (don't know this by heart).

It seems like player update is less efficient unless there are a lot of zombies actively changing states.

    ConfigurableFallDamage.originalIsoGameCharacterDoLand(self)

bronze yoke
# 
local metatable = __classmetatables[IsoGameCharacter.class].__index
local original_DoLand = metatable.DoLand

metatable.DoLand = function(self)
    -- you know this part
end
#

turns out i was exactly right and did not need to check 😔

#

one thing to keep in mind though

pulsar rock
#

Ah, so I need to do the classmetatable stuff first?

bronze yoke
#

yeah, you need to edit the class metatable

bronze yoke
#

IsoGameCharacter is an abstract class so overwriting a function on it doesn't really do anything

#

if you're trying to target players you should overwrite the IsoPlayer metatable

pulsar rock
#

It seemed that DoLand was only implemented in IsoGameCharacter, so I figured that'd cascade down to any child classes?

#

Or am I wrong there?

bronze yoke
#

it would, but that's just not how they're propagated to lua

#

oh another important thing you might not be aware of

pulsar rock
#

Ah, alright, so I should override in IsoPlayer instead.

bronze yoke
#

this will only override the function for lua's purposes

#

if it's called from java there's not really anything you can do to it

#

the metatables store lua's references to the java methods, not the java methods themselves

pulsar rock
#

Hm

#

So there's no way to override the DoLand method I'm guessing?

bronze yoke
#

if it's called from java, no not really

pulsar rock
#

Any idea if there's a sane way of reducing fall damage? An alternative would be reducing it on player update (and making sure you don't reduce every single tick), but that seems... ugly

bronze yoke
#

someone who needed to eradicate fall damage just reset the falltimer every player update

pulsar rock
#

I want to make it configurable

#

E.g. 50% fall damage

#

I know how to do it using player update, but that seemed pretty ugly

#

Considering you'd have to take into account each time the falltime value updated and whatnot

#

Hence why I was hoping to just grab the final value before DoLand

#

No way to fire a method before a java method is called?

#

Some kind of pre-event hook?

#

/ make custom events?

bronze yoke
#

you could wait for isbFalling to become true, count the time, wait for it to become false again, and then apply fall damage

#

while keeping the fall timer at 0 so java doesn't apply any damage

pulsar rock
#

Hm

#

There's a fair bit of conditional logic in DoLand, however

#

Applying fall damage myself seems like it might act oddly in some scenarios / not play well

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i'm going for a full reimplementation angle here

#

you could modify the fall timer, e.g. each tick calculate a fall timer delta and halve the amount it changed by to (approximately) halve fall damage

pulsar rock
#

Guess I'll go for something akin to

previousFallTime = 0

on player update:
  if fallTime > previousFallTime:
    fallTime = fallTime * percentageFallDamage
#

Does fall time update each tick?

#

I'll go with the delta idea

#

Good idea

#

That's an elegant solution, actually

#

Thanks!

#

Just curious, what usecase would there be to override a class's metaclass if it doesn't propagate to the actual execution? @bronze yoke

bronze yoke
#

whenever the method is called from lua, some methods are exclusively called from lua and others are at least sometimes called from lua

pulsar rock
#

Ah, is there some documentation on this?

bronze yoke
#

e.g. in one mod i overwrite InventoryItem's getName since the ui lua uses that to get the item's name

pulsar rock
#

This should technically work, if DoLand were to be called through LUA, right?

--- Store the original IsoPlayer:DoLand() method.
local metatable = __classmetatables[IsoPlayer.class].__index
ConfigurableFallDamage.originalIsoGameCharacterDoLand = metatable.DoLand

--- Override method IsoPlayer:DoLand() to apply the fall damage multiplier.
metatable.DoLand = function(self)
    ConfigurableFallDamage.updateFallTime(self)
    ConfigurableFallDamage.originalIsoGameCharacterDoLand(self)
end
#

Just so I've got it down for potential future mods

bronze yoke
#

looks good to me

pulsar rock
#

Got'cha, thanks

#

Is there any documentation which methods are called through LUA, and which through Java?

bronze yoke
#

not really

#

sometimes it's intuitive, sometimes you just have to look through it yourself

pulsar rock
#

Alright, thanks!

sleek hull
#

How does one actually check if all players are asleep?
IsoPlayer has isAsleep() to check if the given player object is asleep, but it also has allPlayersAsleep(). The latter is just causing my mod to hang anytime it calls allPlayersAsleep() regardless if it's singleplayer or multiplayer...

bronze yoke
#

how are you calling it?

sleek hull
#

p:allPlayersAsleep()
p being an IsoPlayer object of course

bronze yoke
#

IsoPlayer.allPlayersAsleep()

#

it's a static method so it can't be called on an instance

sleek hull
#

Huh, the more you know. So I can just call it like IsoPlayer.allPlayersAwake()?

#

The answer is yes it would seem, thanks albion!

since it only modifies the rate of change, it should only be affected to the same extent vanilla is

Can I use multiple images on a single item? like item Zabpbody { DisplayCategory = Junk, Weight = 0.1, Type = Normal, DisplayName = ProtoType Part Fragment, Icon = Zamapart1;Zamapart2;Zamapart3, }

vast nacelle
#

You can do that for clothing items that have multiple variations defined in their xml as they use the "IconsForTexture" parameter instead of "Icons".
Not for any other item though.

cedar anvil
#

Ah ha, that's why only the clothitems have multiple icons/textures. Thank you!

I'm going to place an item I made on the floor and use it as a tool to make another item. I'm trying to apply vaccine mod "on test" engine, but I don't know what <IsNearLabEquip> is.

---------------------------------------- OnTest ----------------------------------------

-- Checks if there is Microscope near by
function LabRecipes_IsNearMicroscope(sourceItem, result)
return LabRecipes_IsNearLabEquip("LabMicroscope") ~= nil;
end--function

Hey there is there a way to do a "getparam" like there is "doparam" ? i was making a mod for personal use that added a sandbox setting to adjust the weight of "ALL" (included modded in) items. i got stuck on WeightWet and WeightEmpty. is there a way to "read" these values? whenever i try to adress them i only get "nil" back.

#

silly example if i dont adress these values is a propanecanister that weights 2.5kg when full and 5kg when empty..

Anyone know if a higher res inventory UI mod exists? Something's been bugging me lately about the inventory icons taking nice crisp pixel art and barfing out blurry pixel icons

#

did anyone get around checking crafting enhanced core stuff? pepeLurk is there an extra step i need to take to make my recipes have dependancies on another mod?

fast galleon
formal rain
#

that's to add it to steam page right?

fast galleon
formal rain
#

oh... that's weird

#

just made it work without doing anything

#

is that... bad?

sand saddle
#

you can access most stuff of other mods as long they have it. the dependency is mainly for your users. if they only enable yours.... it wont work. the require makes sure they enable it.

formal rain
#

so require=id is what makes the requirement load in too when you pick a mod to ensure they load in together

#

right?

sand saddle
#

yes

#

or it will show as red if they dont have it

im currently messing around with lua scripting and ran into a problem. i am making a mod for personal use (for now) that adds a sandbox setting to adjust the weight of "ALL" (including modded) items. it works fine with getActualWeight() and "doparam()"i got stuck on WeightWet and WeightEmpty. is there a way to "read" these values? whenever i try to read these values i only get "nil" back. i can set them just fine with doparam but i need their orginal values for the sandbox settings

#

wasnt there a parameter "hastobe learned" or something like that? maybe add that. i would need to google the correct wording.

bronze yoke
#

oh, hold on

sand saddle
bronze yoke
#

yes, that syntax only works with my api installed

#

apparently i just missed the getters though 😅 you don't need to use the field

#

item:getWeightEmpty() item:getWeightWet()

sand saddle
#

my first experiment returned something silly. full Propane tank : 2.5kg . empty tank 10kg ;P

#

item:getWeightEmpty() these return "nil" as well.

#

ahh. your mod. right.

#

also i think the performance impact is low on my end. even if using your mod. cuz i only invoke it once at the creation of the server. i just loop trough all the items ;P

bronze yoke
#

there shouldn't really be any large impact, but if the getter is returning nil i'm not sure if my api would help

sand saddle
bronze yoke
sand saddle
#

ok now i am very confuzzled. did i mess up some other way?

#

dives back into notepad++

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i checked and the getters don't do anything strange, so my api is not needed here

#

it doesn't seem like it should ever return nil, it does have a default value of 0 so even if it wasn't set somehow you shouldn't get nil

sand saddle
#

ahh right i got confused lemme try that again.

#

works like a charm now. however i get strange trails.

that's fine, just floating point inaccuracy

sand saddle
#

but it really gets every item now. included modded. this is with a multiplier of 0.1 (10 times ligther)

#

i should remove the "print()" calls i used for debugging now

bronze yoke
#

i was going to mention that, prints are the most expensive thing in the game so they should be disabled/removed when a mod is finished

sand saddle
#

i wonder if such a mod would be worth publishing. 🤔

#

my idea was why try to increase carry weight if its limited to 50kg anyways. why not reduce the weight of everything instead?

#

yes i am a hoarder

#

since math.floor isnt working anyway im removing that too.

#

also a last question. what "Events." should i use? i currently use Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(myfunction) i wonder if thats the best option.

bronze yoke
#

i'd say it is

#

that's the one i recommend

sand saddle
#

nod nod thanks albion.

off to the next adventure! equalizing runspeedmodifier, stomppower and combatspeedmodifier!

bronze yoke
#

the first thing to discover on this adventure is that runspeedmodifier doesn't do anything

sand saddle
#

i plan ahead 🙂 many mods do also

#

plan : run trough all items. note down the highest value of each. run trough them again and adjust to the highest value.

#

will report back when i get it to work 🙂

Is there a way to force a refresh of the items in a container? Example: If you have a stack of food items and change the state of them to cooked it doesn't update immediately. I have seen this in the player's inventory too if its in a stack, the player needs to click on an item before it updates and separates the cooked item from the rest of the stack.

its a pretty simple mod. it just adds a sandbox option to change the weight of all items (included modded ones) by a multiplier. 0.5 half as heavy, 2.0 double as heavy.

#

im not a graphics guy so. how do i make screenshots for that laughs

You need to go to the Schizophrenia mod folder.

e.g. Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600

ebon needle
#

I am dumb

#

When loading mods through the workshop, how do I make sure my modpack always gets loaded at the end?

fast galleon
#

For servers you would list it last in the ini. For solo you turn it on and off.

#

If you just want to edit other lua files, you can require that file in your lua file and then make changes.

# drifting ore

nevermind, everything is local and not as a module. Overwrite the full file.

Use the exact same path.

There was this one mod that let you set, which items you empty from a bag to which container, emptying with one button.

What was it called?

pulsar niche
#

Brilliant!

#

Do the mods update in-game or do I need to reboot the game until a new mod appears in it?

fast galleon
#

Download depends on your steam settings. To add a mod you will need to quit to menu and enable the mod for the specific save.
