also asking in mapping is better idea. some have idea here but not many

but yeah maybe

it is kinda dead. that's why i suggested the unofficial mapping discord

i will dm you the link

I tried logging the character:getHealth but it always equates to 1 no matter the damage dealt to my character. Does it not return your current health? If it doesn't what is the correct way to do so? I just want to check if health is lesser than 50%

slow hound
#

this is just an example from vanilla. it looks like you may need to add a condition to make sure that current health doesn't equal to previous health and compare to that maybe? someone may have a better suggestion but overall something similar should do the trick to make sure it updates first. I think albion wrote that sometimes it returns the hp value before the damage is actually applied and calculated to the health overall, from the health value of the bodyparts

if self.chr:getBodyDamage():getHealth() ~= self.previousHealth then
        if self.previousHealth > self.chr:getBodyDamage():getHealth() then
            self.healthIconOscillatorLevel = 1;
        end
        self.previousHealth = self.chr:getBodyDamage():getHealth()
    end

not the best example but should hopefully make sense ๐Ÿ™‚

Well, anyone wanna make some money this summer on some commissions? Iโ€™ve got mods me and my partner jonny just canโ€™t get to as quickly and was looking to maybe sub out development of them to maybe some early coders with a little bit of skill or some advanced ones who just want to make a buck real quick. Iโ€™ve got maps of some mods that range in levels of difficulty and price. Itโ€™s not uncommon for me to spend 500usd+ on the right kind of mod. Currently feel free to pm me regarding it or ask in this chat I hate clogging it up cause normally you guys are having conversations we do have an active dev chat for modders we work with. Also side note the server contains zero Zombies and has a lot in common with something like FiveM/RedM/DarkRP so feel free to message me what your good at, UI, animation, Clothing, Art, modeling. And maybe we can work something out the main thing I need is UI work, a lot of the game is built around our custom UIโ€™s. I have 3 major mods currently in our scope of what we need done and like 2/3 medium ones and 1 small one of the top of my head. Thanks guys.

Is there a more 'conventional' or 'official' way to check if Events.OnCreatePlayer() is creating the player object for the first time vs loading in an existing character on the save?

Currently just checking if getPlayer():getHoursSurvived() > 0 which seems to work fine, but seems scuffed lol

Started working on an icon replacement mod for SMUI but I have a few other mods I've written down to try and mess with because I have a few that I really like but really really wish had proper icons, thought I'd share some and get some opinions ^^

Before and afters. The bottom right I've never actually found in game but is a 'Gulf War Novelty', I ended up finding the exact Bart Simpson with a gun shirt (because of course) that the original was taken from but it was way too much detail to fit into the small icon, so I decided to get creative. At first I was going to do Spiffy ofc, but then decided since I'm working on a little radio / TV station mod I'd make up a new character for a PZ Simpsons-knockoff, and I based the design off of Pim from Smiling Friends since I was just watching it today ๐Ÿ˜…

Which will be the first mod I'll be replacing the icons of

Well there's a ton of icons in it, so I might do some and then start on a mod with a lot less items ^^

the pz wiki also has a page with a lua events and a brief description of them. just try google "pz wiki lua events" to find it.

sleek hull
# small topaz Events.OnNewGame is called when a new game starts afaik (not called when a game ...

Not quite what I need, it'd have to be an event that fires after creating a new character, regardless if it's in a new save or not. Events.OnNewGame only fires when a new world is initialized. Working on a mod that adds traits for starting injuries/challenge-esque scenarios, but to avoid applying said starting injury I need to know whether the created player object is new or has been in the world before.

On second thought I could also just remove the trait when the injuries get applied. Would probably be fine if Events.OnCreatePlayer() and checking getHoursSurvived() > 0 fails to suffice.

OnNewGame is fired for new characters

sleek hull
# bronze yoke OnNewGame is fired for new characters

I know it's fired for new characters right when one is made via character creation, the issue I'm running into is it's also fired when the player object is loaded from a save it seems, unless what I tested was just wrong, which is also possible

bronze yoke
#

most often you would use OnCreatePlayer and use moddata to check if your code has already run, a usually intentional side effect of that is that it will run for existing characters created before the mod was added, if you don't want that getHoursSurvived is a solid approach

sleek hull
#

Think I'll continue with what I've got now then, haven't dabbled with ModData or anything yet as nothing I've wrote & published has particularly needed it for persistency. Just wanted to see what other ways I could try, as I thought getSurvivedHours() wasn't quite 0 on spawn for whatever reason, pretty sure I just had a >= where there should've been a > though.

grizzled fulcrum
bronze yoke
#

that's what i'd usually suggest, but if you want it to only run for *new* characters the moddata won't exist if you install the mod midgame

#

usually you actually want that behaviour so you can initialise things regardless, but for some cases you might really not want it

how would i randomly select a retail VHS and give it to my character?

It is possible. You can create random tapes and add them in the player's inventory.
For a random tape

---@type InventoryItem
local vhsTape = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem('Base.VHS_Retail'); -- or 'Base.VHS_Home' or 'Base.VHS'
local mediaList = getZomboidRadio():getRecordedMedia():getAllMediaForCategory(vhsTape:getScriptItem():getRecordedMediaCat());
local mediaData = mediaList:get(ZombRand(mediaList:size()-1));
if mediaData == nil then
  vhsTape:setRecordedMediaIndexInteger(-1);
else
  vhsTape:setRecordedMediaData(mediaData);
end
getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem(vhsTape)

For a specific tape

---@type InventoryItem
local vhsTape = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem('Base.VHS_Home'); -- or 'Base.VHS_Retail' or 'Base.VHS'
                             -- id                                       itemDisplayName                           spawning
local mediaData = MediaData.new("00a8b565-a566-44f3-b6d2-7a1ae2eafb0c", "RM_5929b5c4-1c65-4797-81b3-7963a55769c6", 0);
if mediaData == nil then
  vhsTape:setRecordedMediaIndexInteger(-1);

  vhsTape:setRecordedMediaData(mediaData);

How does one use OnConnectionStateChange? I don't know much but i can't seem to make it print anything so i guess it isn't being triggered?

severe locust
#

Ah well, I should probably have put my question here... I guess.
If I create a map mod and the spawnpoints.lua doesn't have spawn points for a certain occupation, what spawn point is chosen? Like for example in all base maps I can't find a spawn definition for electrician, but still I can spawn as one. So which spawn points does the game use? unemployed?

Is there any way to make a panel ignore mouse/keyboard interaction?

#

nm, I worked around it by making the parent panel 1x1 which seems to have accomplish what I was after

reef umbra
#

just for item do?

sour island
#

For is iterative, _ and item are variables being declared

#

Pairs() returns two sets of things

#

So you should have kept that

#

And given it an argument of a table

#

I think before you had no argument and got the error "need more arguments".

#

Also the table being the players items would make the isInPlayerInventory redundant. Side note, but I think that needs an argument too, to work.

reef umbra
#

im confused

#

what would i put in the table

sour island
#

In this case, it looks like your trying to iterate through the players inventory - so you'd actually not be using a table at all. Player inventory is an array I believe.

reef umbra
#

oh huh

sour island
#

You can see examples of this in the recipe.lua

reef umbra
#

alright

#

wait but i forgot how to use arrays lemme look it up

#

so im stupid how would i do this

echo lark
#

anyone know if its possible to use DoSource("[Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle]")? im trying and it seems to be adding black digital watches instead of items with the SewingNeedle tag and im kind of confused now

frank elbow
# reef umbra so im stupid how would i do this

If I'm reading your intention correctly, you'd like the trait to allow the player to eat any item, right? Rather than setting the item type, it seems wiser to have handling to add a similar menu item for โ€œeatingโ€ non-foods that would just delete them & have whatever effects you're going for. You could only include that in the menu if the player has the trait

reef umbra
#

that seems very complicated

#

how would i do that

#

i don't even know how to do custom menu items like that

#

is it CustomContextMenu under InventoryItem or whatever?

#

sorry under Item

frank elbow
#

Setting things as food would be performed on the script, which is more complicated ๐Ÿ˜„ you can look at existing menu code to get an idea of how to add context menu items; unfortunately not home to provide more detail, but searching the code or other mods that add menu items for OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu may be helpful

reef umbra
#

what mod would do that?

frank elbow
#

Any mod that adds something to a context menu

reef umbra
#

good point

#

can you give me an example

#

wait i know one

#

true music: jukebox

#

adds the context menu for operating the jukebox

frank elbow
#

I should clarify that you'd want something that adds an inventory context menu item; I'm assuming that one is a world object. The base true music mod might add some though

reef umbra
#

oh ok

#

ill find out

#

brb

#

#

i figured out that true music (the base mod) has the inventory context menu but i can't figure out how it works

#

ugh it's been a while since i last worked on making a zomboid mod, do I make the new mod folder in the Mods folder or the Workshop folder?

#

I completely forgot and I don't have old files to reference

austere sequoia
bronze yoke
#

you will eventually need to move to workshop to upload your mod, but you can work from either one

tawny pendant
#

ah okay thank you

austere sequoia

tbh ive always found it easier to just copypasta the folder and edit the files as needed lol. at least for everything but the media folder which I end up purging lol

bright fog

Yeah that does the job

austere sequoia
tawny pendant
#

but yeah I'm looking to make a cooking QoL mod that allows you to make your own Baking Soda (and maybe other items related to cooking which can be a pain to find like yeast) without adding anything new besides intermediary items related to the crafting of the baking soda and yeast lol. I currently have one up on the workshop, but its old and I lost the files to it a while ago, so im starting from scratch as it seems that one had issues lol

austere sequoia
tawny pendant
#

i know, but also Id rather just start from scratch. just a preference lol

#

i'll still probably download it to peek through the old files, but it just feels better to work off a new mod file XD

austere sequoia

echo lark
#

anyone know how to remove a source item from a recipe? ive figured out how to add a source but not i need to remove the old source. trying to find all recipes with the source Needle to change it to [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle]

austere sequoia
echo lark
#

i meant with lua code sorry

#

i wana change all the recipes that just use needle to the method that pulls all items with the needle tag

bronze yoke
#

i think you can just remove it from the recipe's source arraylist

#

in your case it might be better to just edit the items in the existing source though

echo lark
#

well im trying to change all the recipes i have loaded on my server to accept the [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle] instead of just Base.Needle. cuz i made a new type of needle for my server and its not included in a bunch of recipes we have cuz the modders just used Base.Needle

#

so was trying to write a function to just replace all the base.needle in recipes with [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle]

#

which im not even sure you can inject [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle] into a source with lua. cuz i can get an item injected into the recipes but [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SewingNeedle] doesnt seem to want to work

bronze yoke
#

i'm unsure when those functions get processed, you might want to just call the function directly instead

#

those functions just add to the source's item arraylist when they get called so if you call it with that as an argument it's the same thing

tawny pendant
#

is it possible to make a recipe only accept a rotten version of a food item? im looking to make a recipe for yeast and im going to use the rotting mechanic as a stand in for fermentation, but obviously I don't wanna have the player be able to extract the yeast from the connoction as soon as its crafted (when it would still have the fresh label)

mellow frigate
tawny pendant
#

good to know, thanks! next question, how do I do that? like is there a page somewhere I can reference to see what I would need to write down?

mellow frigate
#

The keyword in steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts txt files is ReplaceOnRotten

tawny pendant
#

ah okay thank you

mellow frigate
#

it is used by various sorts of IceCream in vanilla

tawny pendant
#

oh yeah, when the ice cream becomes unfrozen for too long it becomes melted ice cream doesn't it

#

second question, how do I have something rot in less than a day? I want this thing to be fermented 1-2 hours mas, but im unsure if the measurement of time means I would need to convert from parts of an hour to a useable value or not

#

like I assume if I put down 0.5 in DaysFresh it would take 12 hours before it went stale

Looking for a way to lock a player in place as in no way at all for them to move. Gotten this far:

    local sq = player:getSquare()
    if sq then
        -- Set X, Y, Z
        player:setX(sq:getX())
        player:setY(sq:getY())
        player:setZ(sq:getZ())

        -- Set Lx, Ly, Lz
        player:setLx(sq:getX())

        player:setGhostMode(true)
        player:setInvisible(true)
        player:setInvincible(true)
    end

But I assume for it to work, it would need to be called OnTick which isn't recommended. Is there better alternatives?

fleet bridge
#

you can just set it to OnPlayerMove

#

so if the player stands still it doesnt trigger

safe silo
#

Oh that's true.. But wouldn't that needed to be called on the client? I can't use setInvisible etc. tmk on there. But perhaps send a msg to the server that player is trying to move and then do the above code?

It's not the server that handles a player state

What programing language does project zomboid use?

bronze yoke
#

lua for modding

#

a lot of the engine and core systems are written in java

teal slate
#

Since apparently I make evil mods now

#

I like Into the Water, but my girlfriend raised some realism concerns with it, in that it'd be a terrible idea and might taint the water

#

it would be neat if dumping enough corpses reduced fishing yields and caused a chance of infection when drinking from sources in that map cell...

bold yoke
#

So it doesn't use a text file sorry

bright fog
teal slate
#

I'm not sure if there's a way to save per-map-chunk stuff like that though

#

also I'm unsure if I could make water collected from it also have a chance to cause infection

fast galleon
#

It should be straight forward and doable with lua.

teal slate
#

hm, I'd have to check if water is part of the river or not though

bright fog
#

Might have something to help with that

#

The problem is that it generalizes "Seawater" to any water tile

#

So eh

teal slate
#

You cannot drink or fill containers at water tiles anymore.
Hm. That's sort of a dealbreaker.

bright fog
#

I mean, at least it's doable and easier than you think

teal slate
#

I think this mod works off of admin-defined zones, so I'd probably just have to do my own thing and mark specific map cells as being the river.

bright fog
#

Which wouldn't require the use of that mod

#

I mean idk

#

I think they don't define any fresh water tiles

anyone know how to set a specific bleeding time/deep wound time? i can get the deepwound/bleeding to trigger but its timer is 0 seconds so as soon as you bandage it goes away. ive been trying varius methods of getbleeding time/setbleeding time and nothings working.

    local hasDeepWound = player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(Hand_L):deepWounded()
    local isbleeding = player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(Hand_L):bleeding()
  
    if not hasDeepWound then
      hand_l:AddDamage(10);

# dense bison I need some help with a code snippet for my Project Zomboid mod. How can I make ...

Well, there are plenty of ways that you can do that. Easiest would be to tie the function to a Lua event, something like OnPlayerUpdate, then check their health against your threshhold. If that check is true, then you run the list of things you'd need to update those different aspects. You'll find most of those things under BodyDamage in the Java Docs.

To be fair, composters exist, that turn rotten food into fertilizer and worms for fishing. plus on higher cooking levels you can use rotten ingredients without any harm. But having more to do with this stuff sounds nice!

Giving the player more ingredients to add to their food but I don't know how I should incorporate the beef jerky

How would I go about putting in a recipe for the jerky and then you just have to put it into a heat source for an hour or so and you got jerky it takes longer but you know what I mean for gameplay reasons?

#

So how should I go about the recipe do I need it in its own separate file?

Is the way that moodles are displayed on-screen hard-coded in Java?? It seems there is no Lua component calling getText for moodles, and since it has to be getting the translations somehow I can only assume it's doing it by calling the proper Java method.

If so, it's weird how they have a UI that is Lua but then use Java too?

Quick question, if I made a mod changing the rarity of an items (for example dumbells) if I just made another file like this


ProceduralDistributions.list = {
    CrateFitnessWeights = {
        rolls = 4,
        items = {
            "DumbBell", 70,
            "DumbBell", 60,
            "BarBell", 60,
        },
        junk = {
            rolls = 1,
            items = {
                "Mov_FitnessContraption", 100,
            }
        }
    },
}```
#

would it automatically override the vanilla distribution for the dumbells?

vestal gyro
#

no that wouldnt work, let me get the correct code in just a second

# 

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["CrateFitnessWeights"].items, "Base.Mov_FitnessContraption");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["CrateFitnessWeights"].items, 1.00);
#

@trim marlinthis should work, the probability is a factor and I'm unsure how it works exactly, something to do with weight, someone else can probably explain it better than me but yeah if you have any other questions regarding this code lmk

this has to be in the lua/server folder btw

Something like those lines, depending on what you actually want (in the item script of said fooditem):

    MinutesToCook = 25,
    MinutesToBurn = 70,

# bold yoke What would I need to do for a recipe that requires heat?

Also, based on some previous things that you mentioned. Iโ€™m pretty sure that changing the temp of an oven is just a multiplier effect on the โ€˜time to cookโ€™ & โ€˜time to burnโ€™ variables

There is probably a way to mess with that and make it work differently, but itโ€™d likely be very complicated

Wellโ€ฆ technically there are some trigger points you might be able to mess withโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze, depending on what you are trying to achieve

Thank you I'm sorry I'm trying to make it so that would take a long time cuz like I say I'm making a jerky mod but I also plan on somehow making it so that can ferment rotten food and alcohol for those who can't find any at any tavern and don't want to wait those potato seeds that they found or if they have one of those icebox fridges that they suddenly forget to put gas in their generator and loses all of its energy sorry

I thought that what might work because in a way it doesn't waste anything you can make Karen or fish sauce if you have salt and rotten fish or fish on the verge of spoiling

If you are willing to take some recommendations. I would suggest starting with some basic recipes, get at least a bit comfortable with how they work. That gives you a lot of leeway, since youll know their limitations and understand what you can or cant do without having to immediately venture into the world of Lua haha

Hi! Asking a technical question here, has anyone been trying to mod the VOIP in PZ? I've been trying to improve it for months already but it's very scarce in documentation
Basically there are a few elements I would like to work on :

  • Stability (too many desyncs, mostly through walkies where you sometimes just don't hear a player if they haven't been loaded by your client)
  • Quality (it's very hard to listen with 5+ players scenes)
  • Variable range (whisper, talk, shout depending on an input)
    Do you know anything about what is doable or not?

Other question, has anyone been trying to externalize the VOIP to another service (TS, Mumble..)? I've been thinking of a system but there are a lot of elements that could be very hard to implement (walkies for example)

winter thunder
kind fossil
#

You think that would create more desyncs?

#

That's why i'm thinking that externalizing the VOIP to mumble would be a better solution

#

but there are so many issues to tackle with regarding this solution

#

walkies and you can't use any mods that use the microphone like zombies hear microphone

winter thunder
#

Yeah, I mean you could externalize it. I am sure there must be some sort of way to do it internally, but it would likely be very complicated. Which then in-turn adds a lot of bloat to the VOIP

kind fossil
#

Because my objective right now is making the VOIP less likely to desync

#

Or maybe it's possible to keep zombies hearing microphone while having the external VOIP

#

i have an idea

#

keeping the mic active on the server but block voip communication in the server

#

so the mic would still trigger from voice but there won't be communication

winter thunder
#

The biggest issue is that VOIP is not an instantaneous effect, it is continuous. It is really easy to mess with thew text chat, since once a message is fired, it is a single instant string to change. The VOIP is that continuous running chain of info that might be limited by PZ, the player's IRL equipment, internet connection in general, ping between the players, etc etc etc

kind fossil
#

true

#

bc right now it's killing our servers

#

we have so many issues where players can't hear each other

#

mostly through walkies

winter thunder
#

Is it an RP server?

kind fossil
#

yes

#

I think it's because the client doesn't load players that are not close enough from you

#

so in the walkie you will not hear their voice

#

if they are on the other side of the map, or even an other city

#

i have tested a few times during the server uptime and it confims my theory

#

admins for example are less likely to be concerned by this issue

#

because they teleport around during the session so they are most likely to be loaded by all clients

winter thunder
#

I mean, I would consider trying Text RP. Personally love it, I cant even fathom the thought of going to back to VOIP now haha

But I understand the frustration... I'm just not 100% that there will be a satisfying approach

kind fossil
#

We can't use text for this project unfortunately

#

it's one of the core components of the server :x

#

bc to outsource voip i was thinking of this framework :

#

create a mod that gets the coordinates of every players and update this data every tick in the server
with Mumble API we create a bridge with the mod and mumble that would locate mumble users according to the coordinates in the server

#

we could even add a 3rd coordinate in the voip!!

winter thunder
#

Though.... If it is just a matter of wanting to load the other clients, there are tons of ways to do that. If you can identify whatever is loading when the players are within close enough range of each other to 'render' them, then you should be able to just force the game to do that on its own

#

How many players...?

kind fossil
#

around 50

winter thunder
#

My friend

#

PLEASE

kind fossil
#

and they're getting more and more every season

winter thunder
#

PLEASE do not make an OnTick funciton that transmits data from 50 independent players ๐Ÿ˜ญ

kind fossil
#

yeah obviously haha

winter thunder
#

lmao

kind fossil
#

i was maybe thinking into having this mod player-side

#

so that the player's coordinate is sent to the server in a db

#

so the processing power is split among all players

winter thunder
#

Still, it'd be painful. Mods like immersive medicine are known to bog down clients do to the OnTick functions, even locally

kind fossil
#

yeah it's hard

#

maybe a solution would be to create a mod that load all clients together

#

so that we wouldn't have these desyncsq

winter thunder
#

Are people loading in and out regularly, or do they all play simultaneously

kind fossil
#

it's a session based server, it opens at a fixed hour and closes at a fixed hour
Players mostly login during the opening time however we have late players and also regular reconnections

#

so it really depends

winter thunder
#

Gotcha, yeah I feel like that is going to be difficult no matter what. The VOIP system was seemingly made in 2016 without significant(?) update since. May be wildly wrong on that tho lol

kind fossil
#

yeah that's one of the weakest point for PZ, i'm so sad to not see any love for VOIP

#

the only main update was the fix for walkies and radios which was a GAME CHANGER

#

but it's the only update we got in a few years basically

#

I would really have hoped to see some news about VOIP updates with the 42 updates

#

would be glad to see some when we will see a patch note, but don't have any expectations

#

Do you know if my theory is correct about the client not loading other players that spawned too far from them?

#

bc that could be a first step to find a solution

kind fossil
#

It's adding a KCP tunneling connection on top of the UDP used by PZ

#

if it works this would prevent desyncs

    player:setDisplayName(title)
    player:Say("Title set to " .. title)

-- Function to remove the player's title
function RemoveTitle()
    local player = getPlayer()
    player:setDisplayName(player:getUsername())
    player:Say("Title removed")

    print("DEBUG: Title removed")
end

-- Function to create the context menu options
function CreateContextMenu(player, context, worldobjects, test)
    local setTitleOption = context:addOption("Set Title", worldobjects, nil)
    local subMenu = context:getNew(context)
    context:addSubMenu(setTitleOption, subMenu)

    subMenu:addOption("Survivor", nil, function() SetTitle("Survivor") end)
    subMenu:addOption("Citizen", nil, function() SetTitle("Citizen") end)

    context:addOption("Remove Title", worldobjects, function() RemoveTitle() end)
    print("DEBUG: Context menu created")

Hey, I just want to get an opinion for this proof of concept I've slapped together yesterday for a mod handling all things translations. Basically, my main goal was to change translations at runtime whenever getText is called. It works but only for translations that are used on the Lua side (TIS pls expose more stuff to lua in b42 or java modding ๐Ÿ™, or let us use ASSEMBLY OR SOMETHING). Would anyone actually use this/is it worth developing? I am asking this because most of the times I have made proof-of-concepts in the past, either it's a useless idea or there's already a better way to do it. My ultimate goal for this is to provide translations that can change dynamically in the game instead of static from the translation file, but I guess you could really achieve the same thing pretty easily on a per-mod basis (although it gets annoying when say making dynamic translations for a separate mod without this little helper mod)

is it possible to change the AcceptItemFunction mid game?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I think I have misunderstood your goal. Can you provide some more info?

crisp fossil
#

I used to it like this scriptItem:DoParam("AcceptItemFunction = acceptItemOnly") on start, which works, but now I need to change it to scriptItem:DoParam("AcceptItemFunction = acceptAny") depends on my Mod Options

#

Btw I tried this command scriptItem:DoParam("DisplayName = Sample") and it doesn't work so I figured DoParam does not work mid game but I'm not entirely sure

grizzled fulcrum
#

You should look at how ItemTweakerAPI does it

#

Are there any sane people that use getText() on the server-side of lua? If so, why? I see the game does this too, but why would the server need to know translation data? Any info is good info!!!

crisp fossil
#

I does not work on ModOptions saving. I think it only works on this Events.OnGameBoot the TweakItem function adds your item to the TweakItemData which is altogether updated using DoParam during OnGameBoot

grizzled fulcrum
#

hi so im making my own mod that depends on VFE and VFE case ejection and i havent completed it yet but ive tried loading it into the game and it gives me errors whenever i try to reload by pressing R, open map with M and i cant open the craft menu at all. Does anyone know what my issue is >.<

#

im new to modding if that helps ;-;

grizzled fulcrum
#

Can you share the console.txt file that is in your %UserProfile%\Zomboid folder?

#

That file holds the latest console log output so if you have played separate sessions in-between the time you had errors and now then it wouldn't hold any useful info though. (If this is the case, maybe you can try replicating the error in game and then posting the log file)

#

Also you probably want to run your game in debug mode whilst developing a mod (helps solve some errors better) among other useful features. To do that you can just specify the launch parameter -debug in Steam under Project Zomboid's game properties.

simple patio
#

this one?

grizzled fulcrum
#

ya

#

I have nothing exact but Super Survivors may have caused it, so disable that to test. Also there are a lot of errors relating to UIManager.update which implies that either the vanilla game's UI or one of your mods' UI is causing error a lot.
I'd recommend verifying your game files in Steam just in-case as some vanilla files are causing errors (doesn't mean it is the cause specifically)

#

please lmk if the errors come back after verifying your files

simple patio
#

i managed to get the item i added with the debug menu so thats a plus :D

grizzled fulcrum
#

yeah it's pretty helpful for testing mods

#

Also I am going to go on an unrelated rant (not about you) and say to everyone who prints debug stuff to the log: PUT A DEBUG MODE CHECK IN YOUR LOG FUNCTION FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

#

not every single regular user and the resulting person who has to read that log to potentially fix an error that a user had wants to see a message every tick saying "ontick" or something similar xd

simple patio
#

so when i press M its giving me an issue in client/ISUI/Maps/ISWorldMap.lua

grizzled fulcrum
#

yeah thats a vanilla lua file which is not usually where errors come from

#

thats why I said verify files first because sometimes it just does that idk

#

but errors in vanilla files can be caused by mods too, it's just that the stacktrace doesn't tell me where the error really originated from

#

the closest thing I got from the stacktrace was that super survivors created player data and an error in a vanilla file was caused because of that somehow

simple patio
#

ty for being so helpful im not the best at coding ๐Ÿ˜ญ

grizzled fulcrum
#

also btw I've seen someone fix vanilla lua errors by just deleting the vanilla lua folder (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media) and then verifying the files again

#

the folder you delete named Lua will download back when verifying the files, it's only that sometimes Steam is weird when handling files like workshop mods and even game files

simple patio
#

oh oki ill try that now verifying didnt fix it unhappy

grizzled fulcrum
#

though if you don't have a lot of mods enabled, you can always disable one by one and see which one causes it

simple patio
#

i think its mine cause it works fine without my mod :(

grizzled fulcrum
#

but if you have any mods changing the crafting ui or creating their own ui, one of those would probably be what causes these errors

grizzled fulcrum
simple patio
grizzled fulcrum
#

sned recipe pls

simple patio
grizzled fulcrum
#

that would probably be why

simple patio
#

oki oki

grizzled fulcrum
#

I probably should have asked for your mod's purpose instead of assuming that you had no errors (which it is fine to have btw, everyone has to learn somehow)

simple patio
#

i have no idea if i did this right i basically looked at other recipes from the games file and worked off that

grizzled fulcrum
#

btw do you use an ide for editing code

#

if not (or you don't know what ide is) use visual studio code

#

it will save you 1 billion headaches (well not that much but it helps especially for writing lua)

simple patio
#

oki oki

#

i just looked on the mod wiki and it said use notepad++ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

grizzled fulcrum
#

but its better than notepad

#

notepad++ is alright too but thats so old school today, I used to use notepad++ back in like 2011 lol and im not even that old

#

its the equivalent of comparing like a nokia to an iphone kinda sorta not really but my point still stands

simple patio
#

oh oki

#

ty

#

im installign it now

grizzled fulcrum
#

are you planning on doing any lua related stuff?

simple patio
#

ummm all i really want to do is add a few items and crafting recipes

#

and animation if i need to

grizzled fulcrum
#

okok

#

I assume the Recipe.GetItemTypes.SharpKnife function you have exists?

#

like does your or another mod define that?

simple patio
#

ummm it was in the VFE recipes

grizzled fulcrum
#

im not actually quite sure whether you can reference to other mods' lua functions in your recipe

simple patio
#

ohhhhhh

grizzled fulcrum
#

so idk if you can or can't do that

simple patio
#

so do i re-write it with all the item types that can be used?

grizzled fulcrum
#

before you do anything though

#

is primer_powder a VFE mod item?

simple patio
#

no its my own

grizzled fulcrum
#

ok nvm

simple patio
#

wait sry the recipe.getitemtypes.sharpknife was in the game recipes

grizzled fulcrum
#

I think I've done like 2 recipes ever and I already forgot how I wrote them so I am trying to like recollect my skull

grizzled fulcrum
simple patio
#

so real

grizzled fulcrum

because I do lua more than recipe

simple patio
#

ahh

#

ive only ever done python ๐Ÿ˜ž

grizzled fulcrum
#

thats no excuse for me tho!!!

grizzled fulcrum
simple patio
#

do you think the issue is do do with using matches in the recipe?

#

like cause they have an amount reamining bar?

#

idk if that would cause an issue

grizzled fulcrum
#

you dont have a comma after the keep line

#

I really hope thats not the issue LOL

simple patio
grizzled fulcrum
#

this is why vscode can be sometimes useful

simple patio
#

if thats the issue i have no hope in finishing this mod ๐Ÿ˜ญ

grizzled fulcrum
#

dont say that, you're at a natural disadvantage already for using notepad lol

#

its like playing hard mode but for developers

#

and the comma after result to

simple patio
#

yeah i should have realised that

#

omg i didnt see that either ๐Ÿ˜ญ

grizzled fulcrum
#

it took me a while!!

#

other than that, the only two issues I think can be (and im not even sure of them) are: possibly using module base could do something wacky, or the weird indentation of the recipe

simple patio
#

oh oki oki

#

this is the only other script if this helps

grizzled fulcrum
#

to show you an example recipe from vanilla game:

recipe Make Stake
{
    TreeBranch,
    keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.SharpKnife]/MeatCleaver,

    Result:Stake,
    Time:80.0,
    Category:Survivalist,
    OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.WoodWork5,
}
simple patio
#

THIS IS THE ONE I COPPIED

#

BASICALLY

grizzled fulcrum
#

loool

simple patio
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

grizzled fulcrum
#

in vscode, I'd recommend the zedscript extension for recipes

#

on the left side bar you can find the extensions menu

#

once you install that, go to the bottom right of vscode and click "Plain Text" which is the file type that vscode detects and change it to zedscript

#

it wont change the actual file extension but it will change the highlighting and syntax checking stuff that vscode does

simple patio
#

oki i just did that tysm

grizzled fulcrum
#

also I did notice

#

your item has a space between it

#

use underscore or camelCase like item primerPowder or primer_powder

simple patio
#

omg

grizzled fulcrum
simple patio
#

i use primer_powder somewhere else

grizzled fulcrum
#

ya

#

that should hopefully be the end of your worries

simple patio
#

ill try it now tysm!!!

simple patio
#

IT WORKS

grizzled fulcrum
#

niceee

#

also make sure you have a definition for the static model in your models_items file too

#

the game does it like this:

model PaintTinGreen_Ground
{
    mesh = WorldItems/PaintTin,
    texture = WorldItems/PaintTinGreen,
    scale = 0.4,
}

I thought you might need to put it in a texture .pack file but I was testing with icons on my first mod and I did it exactly like how you are doing it

Icon = Item_ToothbrushPink in the file and the file exists under mod_folder/media/textures/Item_ToothbrushPink.png

#

I did see spiffUI which is interesting

#

but most moodle ui changes aren't actually rewrites of the original but just a retexture of the moodle icons

#

I need to redo the whole thing using Lua for me to get translations working the way I want them to

but it is fine and I don't think it will take much to do that so I am not worried

simple patio
#

didnt work but thats fine for now

grizzled fulcrum
#

oh wait I do have idea @simple patio

Remove item_ before the name of the texture in the item script file

so instead of Item = Item_SomeItem you have Item = SomeItem

# drifting ore hey guys, does anyone know how to add custom animations when doing a recipe? (or...

If we take a look at recipe "Saw logs" it has : "AnimNode:SawLog," So youre intrested in this line, add it to your recipe, then if you were to look at where this Anim is by searching ctrl F on pz folder it would lead you to ProjectZomboid\media\AnimSets\player\actions, but i belive aything from AnimSet should work, but i dont really remember to just to make sure you could copy file youre intrested in and put it in actions folder in your mod (As im not sure if recipes are tied only to actions folder)

drifting ore
tranquil kindle
#

Thats how you would use already existing animations from game.

#

You want to add animation (you did not state if custom one so i assumed vanila one). You add line "AnimNode: animation of your choosing" to recipe

#

And you can find those in media>Animsets

drifting ore
#

hmm

#

what if i make animations?

#

like... custom animations?

tranquil kindle

Then you need to save custom animation in anims_X > Bob and create own XML file in animsets

Rest is the same

Also you can ask the player object if its in a room directly
player:isInARoom()

You also should not check this against nil
isInARoom() returns a boolean, true or false, and neither of those equal nil, so that check will always be true.

Only thing I need help with now is making it so you get bored while outside... could anyone help?

rare obsidian
#

man i really dont like reading simple vars

#

0 context

#

not anymore i guess

image.png
grizzled fulcrum
#

what I'd do is in an EveryOneMinute event callback, check if the player is outside and then if they are add some boredom

#

if isOutside doesn't work for some reason I guess you could do player:getCurrentBuilding() == nil or something

trim marlin
#

Though I doubt I'll even get more than 10 downloads on my mod lol

grizzled fulcrum
#

if you want to increase boredom inbetween every in game minute, you could use OnTick event but I'd highly recommend NOT using it

#

if you want the boredom increase to be exponential you can do a lot of math stuff in Lua to calculate your new boredom value from your current one

trim marlin
grizzled fulcrum
#

it gets executed every in game tick. A tick iirc is usually one frame so onTick on the client end at 240 FPS is 240 times a second

#

where every in game minute is just one second irl I believe no matter your frame rate

#

I am probably wrong on some of that someone can correct me but that's what I believe, unless it's like minecraft where there is a static tick rate

#

tl;dr it's not worth the performance loss of constantly calling the functions to change boredom level in ontick event when you can do literally everything you would need for that in EveryOneMinute

rare obsidian
#

doesnt a lot of funny stuff happen when you have fluctuating framerates and then you tie stuff like that to the framerate

#

hmm

#

still a lot of simple vars. i guess its not perfect

grizzled fulcrum
#

but still even if it does say 60 ticks per second, you're running your code 60 times a second for no valid reason

#

in his case, updating boredom 60 times a second which has 0% purpose

yeah i know most games usually tie it to physics

#

Literally me, but with the live workshop version vs the dev version

grizzled fulcrum
#

you should set up a cachedir with your pz so you dont have to juggle both

#

thats what I do

wet sandal
#

Whats that?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I have cachedir for development so my mod is a symbolic link to the repository and then my main game (in %UserProfile%\Zomboid) has my mods that I play with normally that I also subscribe to my mods too

grizzled fulcrum
#

So I have 2 technically, one is the default one that is used by everyone and the other is for dev and it's in C:\dev\Zomboid and thats where I put my mods when developing stuff

#

you can use launch param -cachedir=C:\dev\Zomboid like that

wet sandal
#

Interesting, but my mods are all in the Steam workshop folder, so changing the Zomboid directory wouldn't really help me.
If I used /Zomboid/mods/ though, this would be a great tip

trim marlin
#

Anyone know why the game is telling me I should put an additional "end" somewhere in here?

image.png
grizzled fulcrum
#

it's one keyword elseif

#

you're basically declaring a whole new if statement on that line with else if

#

and since else wants an end statement

#

Lua thinks you are doing this:

if blah then
    bodyDamage:blah
else
    if playerObj:hasTrait(blah) then
        blah
    end
-- no end here !!!

you mean like

yeah

grizzled fulcrum

#

Sorry ive just never had a coding class before and I just learn by people helping me or looking at others code

grizzled fulcrum

with this extension, it will show you like:

-- extension will show player variable as IsoPlayer
local player = getPlayer()

-- When you go to access player, it will show all it's methods like
player:[[highlighting will show here]]
grizzled fulcrum
#

if you know, that is

trim marlin
#

Ill just share the code I have for one of my traits real quick

#

I changed the if character just now to try and see if it worked instead of player

#

Though I just noticed the "local player = get player()" just now whoops

#

maybe I should change that too

grizzled fulcrum
#

character here should be showing an error, make sure you have Lua Language Server extension by sumneko and the umbrella I showed above (the link I linked to will explain how to install it with vscode)

#

wait do oyu have character as a variable outside of that function anywhere??

#

but it should be player:HasTrait("trait") anyway

#

Is there seriously no way to add my own translation files like translate/EN/TEST_EN.txt?

I tried and I can't get it to work so I assume not, but thats so dumb if I have to override the vanilla files just to add any translations

Hello guys, this one is from Gunfighter2.0, nerfing shotguns' range gain by scope.
but the problem is, when I attach choke and attach a dot sight on a shotgun, this script kills the range gain from choke.
so I'd like to modify this script in a reasonable way..
like, let the gain from choke maintained, and limiting range gain from scope to 1.
since full choke's range gain is 2, setting shotguns maxrange gain limit cap to 3 would be working I suppose?
the problem is  how to do it with this script.
since I know nothing about lua, can you help me out?
grizzled fulcrum
#

one sec

grizzled fulcrum
#

and choke increases range too?

jaunty isle
#

yup

#

so attaching only a choke works alright

#

but if I attach both, then due to this script, choke's range gain is deleted

#

I guess sights should rather increase aim speed and hitchance but it's gonna be too much of work to change all the numbers from every sight/scope in the mod

#

so I just wanna change the script and call it a day hahah

grizzled fulcrum

unironically this script doesnt use scopeRange anywhere in what you've posted so I assume either you didn't post the whole thing or they just left it in?

jaunty isle
#

sure!

grizzled fulcrum
#

It's only that context matters

jaunty isle
#

the script is located at 5744th line

#

oh wait, wrong file

grizzled fulcrum
#

that is same file lol

jaunty isle
#

so the previous one has changed script

#

which wouldnt work in-game most likely

grizzled fulcrum
#

o

#

chat gpt's not that good yet unfortunately

#

this mod has like 8000 lines in one file

#

I'd die if I wrote this myself

jaunty isle
#

yeah it def looks like a long work

grizzled fulcrum
#

it's not the contents of the file, it's that they put it all into one file ๐Ÿ’€

jaunty isle
#

eh hahah maybe they didnt want to make many .lua files? or
maybe they have been adding one by one and got massive in the end? not sure hahah

trim marlin
#

That way it fixes it for everyone else using it too

grizzled fulcrum
#

true that, I'll still write a fix real quick tho

jaunty isle
#

but on the steam workshop page, the comment section is closed and I can't see a way/page to report something or post a suggestions tho

grizzled fulcrum
#

can you try modifying the first weapon:setMaxRange(scriptRange) to something rediculous like weapon:setMaxRange(scriptRange + 100)

#

uhh idk the line number but it's like this:

jaunty isle
#

can I just put + 100 after the scriptrange like that?

grizzled fulcrum
#

sending ss because discord can't format code properly

grizzled fulcrum
#

it will give me a better idea of what the hell setting this range does and if the range is scriptRange+100 even after putting on attachment

#

because there is a scope attachment check at the start

#

but no choke attachment check anywhere

jaunty isle
#

okay I will check it in-game right away

#

hmm it does not change something

#

the shotgun's original range was 12, for the test
and after attaching a sight on it, the range became 10

#

ah actually
choke was attached before I attach a sight on it
so 10+2 -> 10

grizzled fulcrum
#

so the range doesn't change at all even if you use no attachments/only scope/only choke/scope and choke?

#

I mean it doesn't change like +100

#

although I think there is a range cap of 10 so that might be

jaunty isle
#

yeah it didnt change the value at all

#

so 10 is the original range of that gun

#

and due to the script(that we are trying to change)
it can't be over 10 even if I attach a choke which has +2 range, while having a sight attached on the shotgun

#

I suppose the shotgun range nerf script rollbacks the range

grizzled fulcrum
#

but can it go over 10 with a sight

#

?

jaunty isle
#

if it was not a shotgun, the sight's range modifier will be applied

#

and right now, with this shotgun, the script overrides another attachment's stat(choke)

#

while having a sight on it

grizzled fulcrum
#

can you go into gunfighter options and change the debug log level mode whatever they call it to debug or whatever the lowest levle is

jaunty isle
#

so just the shotgun, range = 10
shotgun w/ choke, range=12
shotgun w/ sight =10
shotgun w/ sight and choke =10

grizzled fulcrum
#

wait so the sight does nothing even on a shotgun?

#

that is inteded, I see

#

ok I understand

jaunty isle
#

yeah but the prob is it kills the gain from choke hahah

jaunty isle
grizzled fulcrum
#

yes

jaunty isle
#

hmm I dunno what is debug log level mode..
should I start the game in a debug mode and take a look into gunfighter options?

grizzled fulcrum
#

probably not, it should be a dropdown in the options menu somewhere

#

idk what he calls it

#

like are there gunfire settings at all?

#

in your settings menu I think

#

wait do you have the name of the mod

#

ill just test it on my end real quick too

jaunty isle
#

I think I found it

#

for this, you can find 2 mods in workshop
Brita's weapon mod, Arsenal's gunfighter mod 2.0 I think

grizzled fulcrum
#

dw you dont have to do anything, ill do some test on my end and hopefully figure out what is going on

Evening, anyone know if you can reload the script .txt files without having to restart PZ?

grizzled fulcrum
#

go to menu: click reload lua, wait and go back into game

dry pier
#

Can you reload within the game?

#

Or do I have to drop back to the main menu and reset lua?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I believe so

dry pier
#

Thanks.

#

Ok, can we override base game recipes?

#

I've used the Override:true and Obsolete:true properties on the recipes, but they don't seem to stick.

grizzled fulcrum
#

can you share an example?

dry pier
#

Sure:

module Base
{
recipe Rip Clothing
{
[Recipe.GetItemTypes.RipClothing_Cotton],

    Result:RippedSheets,
    RemoveResultItem:true,
    InSameInventory:true,
    Sound:ClothesRipping,
    Time:100.0,
    AnimNode:RipSheets,
    OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing,
    OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.IsNotWorn,
    Obsolete:true,
}

recipe Rip Clothing
{
    [Recipe.GetItemTypes.RipClothing_Denim],
    keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Scissors]/[Recipe.GetItemTypes.SharpKnife],

    Category:Survivalist,
    Result:DenimStrips,
    RemoveResultItem:true,
    InSameInventory:true,
    CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
    Sound:ClothesRipping,
    Time:200.0,
    AnimNode:RipSheets,
    OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing,
    OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.IsNotWorn,
    OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.Tailoring01,
    Override:true,
}

}

#

I'm just trying to remove the Base Rip Clothing as test.

#

I load this file, and xp action doesn't get set, nor do I see it in the different category.

grizzled fulcrum
#

oh you want to remove the rip clothing completely

#

or replace it with your own

dry pier
#

Correct.

#

I can get it to add the addxp via lua... but I'd rather just use a recipe than go the lua route.

#

Plus, I can't add new keeps via Lua from what I can tell.

grizzled fulcrum
#

if you are removing it completely, I will have to find out why
if you are trying to replace vanilla one with your own, remove Obselete

#

oh wait you have 2

#

only include your one and have override:true but not obselete

dry pier
#

Yeah, I've tried just using the second entry (the one with Override:true), but that doesn't work either.

grizzled fulcrum
#

huh

#

I will have to look at that more in a sec, rn im trying to fix another issue with someone else

#

@jaunty isle can you tell me how to attach teh sight/choke?

#

I must be doing it wrong lol
