is there any other way?

#

maybe there's an email?

vast nimbus
#

@digital sail , thanks for the answers, helped a lot!

bright fog
#

? wtf

#

You can do the same with .fbx

ancient grail
#

yeah i just found that out

bright fog
#

Please I beg you do not use fucking .x files

ancient grail
#

all this time i thought only does that with x

#

why?

bright fog
#

I know you do your animations on that shit ass software so okay sure but for anything please fucking stop using .x

#

The format is deprecated asf

ancient grail
bright fog
#

Modern softwares don't even handle this format anymore

ancient grail
#

yeah

bright fog
#

Only that shit ass software which is clearly a fucking malware accepts them

#

Only reason you'd use it is to open vanilla game animations

#

Blender is 1000x times better easily simply because you can literally do the same things, it's up to date, there's a massive community behind and it can easily get you a job when you've mastered it

#

If you've got to put hours in a 3D software, put them in fucking Blender, not that other shit ass software, that requires you TO TYPE THE FUCKING BIBLE TO OPEN IT

#

Their website isn't even secured mate

digital sail

#

You have literally thousands of tutorials for Blender and the community has became even more and more efficient for them in the decade that Blender existed

#

I remember back when I was 17 learning Blender I had no choice but to watch hours of tutorials

#

Now you can find extremely short videos, that are referenced extremely easily on google even for simple tutorials on things. It's even easier when you have the vocabulary in the field to find those

#

We even have tutorials for Blender PZ renderings

ok ill learn blender soon lol

#

blender is an amazing and rare success story of open source from rags to riches. Though there are many people that will insist that it's complete dogwater compared to things like maya.

#

Other than Blender I've only used 3ds max in like 2005. To this day Blender UX feels incredibly obtuse, like you need to memorize the 3d art equivalent of moonlight sonata worth of hotkeys to work with any amount of efficiency.

#

It feels like it's been made by people who use Vi and not, you know, Blender. Who built the hotkey chords and then begrudgingy added UI menu options for it.

what does the ISUI folder for?

I'm trying to make a simple server/admin mod to reset player hunger/thrist but am unsure if I put it in client/server/shared/ or if it needs an ISUI folder

#

hi, trying to set up itemzed, cant seem to get it to find my mod? its just not showing up as an option and i have no idea how this program works

Spaces in folder is fine

unreal pewter
#

too late, but it doesnt really matter

#

workshop condenses it to one word without spaces

#

when referencing the mod id, i mean

grizzled fulcrum
#

i see

dull moss
#

modID yes, no spaces

#

Folder name is fine

grizzled fulcrum

bronze yoke
#

mod ids can have spaces actually

#

you can, in general, put spaces in a lot of things that it feels very weird to put spaces in

pine patio
#

If you put spaces in your mod id, I ain't downloading your mod

grizzled fulcrum
#

I agree

digital sail
#

What events would work as a OnServerPostLoad and OnServerExit?

bronze yoke
#

OnServerStarted for the first, for the latter... nothing, i'm afraid, if i'm correctly interpreting it as 'event that fires when the server is about to close'

digital sail
#

yes, I would like to save a cache

bronze yoke
#

you can use the ModData class to get tables that will be saved and loaded when the save is

digital sail
#

hmmm

#

do you know if PZ is writing in ModData in realtime or waiting for the server to shutdown?

#

My guess is that it's doing it in realtime, I don't like it too much

bronze yoke
#

it's not realtime but i don't think it's exclusively when the server shuts down either (or else you'd expect to lose the entire session's mod data when the server crashes, which i haven't seen happen)

digital sail
#

I'm already done implementing a cache with a JSON library, I'm not ready to throw it away yet :'D

#

But I guess there's no other choice

#

there are OnServerStartSaving and OnServerFinishSaving

#

That could work

bronze yoke
#

those are only fired when the server is manually saved with a /save command

digital sail
#

oh

#

Maybe the server is kicking everybody out before shutting down? Then I can run a function in an OnTick event that calls my save whenever the number of player is decreased to 0.

bronze yoke
#

maybe but i think you're overengineering

#

global mod data exists for your exact purpose and is straight forward to use

digital sail
#

I have basically recoded the entire chat and radio system from PZ, at this point the entire mod is overengineering. :D

#

You're right though, goodbye JSON.

I keep looking for this information but I can't find it. Anybody know how big, say... West Point map is? I know it's a grid unit is 300x300pixels but I can't find how many grid units x grid units your typical map is.

Hi all, i want to do a mods like this, should this work or i'm missing something? ty

function updatePlayerVisibilityOnMap(player)
if player:isPvPActive() then
showPlayerOnMap(player)
else
hidePlayerOnMap(player)
end
end

grizzled fulcrum
# 
if player:isFactionPvp() or player:getCoopPVP() then

Depending on which one you want, or both

grizzled fable
#

yea, i really don't know the correct function names, do you know them? both for pvp state and map visibility, i can't find the lua file related.

grizzled fulcrum
#

well the updatePlayerVisibilityOnMap function is yours and you have to decide where you want to put it.
I am currently trying to find out how the game sets players as known, as all I can see so far is setting ALL of the players as known

#

I don't think it's possible

#

UIWorldMap isn't exposed, nor is WorldMapRemotePlayers, so idk

#

You could probably hack something together and get it to work but not easily I don't think

#

For context, the game does all of the map updating stuff for players in Java and it's not easily accessible from Lua (and in this case, impossible as far as I can see unless something gets a UIWorldMap)

#

So I had a weird thing happen where I had been updating a mod in my zomboid/mods folder, and I had been closing the game and reopening it every time I applied a change. It seemed like the changes worked, so I closed it down, then came back a few hours later. Now the updated mod doesn't work at all, and for some reason my debug launch option also doesn't either.

Was I doing that wrong? Is there some other way that works better? I'm just really confused why it worked then and then now it doesn't

grizzled fulcrum
#

probably best to just verify your game files as a start

#

assuming you are using -debug, you don't have to close game to test changes. Just reload lua in bottom right of main menu :p

#

Unlike its name, it doesn't just reload only Lua files but all the mods.

#

It's hard to say what directly caused your game to stop taking applying the debug param, as many things can indirectly affect other things (which is weird to think about)

bright fog
safe seal
#

Yeah, I already tried to verify files to get -debug to start working again, maybe I'll just have to reinstall zomboid.

I'm still really confused about how my mod changes seemed to run fine, then hours later just didn't. Hopefully using that reload Lua button will make the changes actually apply? Or whatever caused the issue

How can I make a recipe

robust locust
#

Hey peeps, I'm trying to make my mod translatable if other languages are chosen. I've added a HWM_DE.txt, do I need a Translations.lua file to apply the translations?
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated 😄

bright fog
oak ginkgo
#

no

bright fog
#

Your best friend is checking other's work to understand how the game works

#

Or dig through the java but I don't suggest starting with that lol

bright fog
#

Because in all of these the method is different I believe

oak ginkgo
robust locust
#

For items and recipes... the text that will be shown in the menu. I don't have any messages that pop up

bright fog
#

You don't need any lua files then

robust locust
#

I thought that I could have all the items and recipe names and such in a single txt file, and replace the name/displayName in the scripts with the translation key

bright fog
#

Not sure how translation works exactly for scripts tho

#

I would suggest checking vanilla script files, find an item or recipe which you know has a translation (or suppose so) and search in the translation files for the word of the display name

robust locust
#

I've looked through other mods and can't see a translations.lua file, but in the scripts non of the names match with the translations

bright fog
#

Possibly is something like item_displayNameOfTheItem ?

#

And within displayName = displayNameOfTheItem

robust locust
#

I looked at the smokers mod and none of the names are written as the translation key, which is wigging me out

bright fog
#

Show an example please

robust locust
#

item GWH_Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger
{
DisplayCategory = Furniture,
DisplayName = GWH_Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger,
Type = Moveable,
Icon = GWHIcon,
Weight = 0.1,
WorldObjectSprite = HGWH_tiles_0,
}

Would mine look like this?

#

Smokers mod:
Items_EN = {
Recipe_Open_Pack_Cigarettes = "Open Pack of Cigarettes",
...
}

recipe Open Pack Cigarettes
{
destroy Cigarettes,
Result:SMPack,
Time:30.0,
Category:Smoking,
NeedToBeLearn:false,
CanBeDoneFromFloor:false,
OnGiveXP:NoXP_OnGiveXP,
OnCreate:recipe_OpenPackCigarettes,
StopOnWalk:false,
}
As you see, the names are normal and not linking to the translation key.

bright fog
#

recipe Open Pack Cigarettes > Recipe_Open_Pack_Cigarettes

#

Spaces become _

#

So the ID of your recipe is basically your ID in the translation file

#

And it's most likely the same for items

#

Like I said

#

item_GWH_Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger = "...",

robust locust
#

so "recipe Open Pack Cigarettes" in the script becomes "Recipe_Open_Pack_Cigarettes", which then gets translated?

bright fog
#

Yeah

robust locust
#

ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

bronze yoke
#

display name isn't used for translation in item names

#

display name is a weird and frustrating bit of design

#

you need a display name for translations to work, but it isn't actually used for translation at all, and what you put there is only shown if the translations don't work

#

in your ItemName_LANG file you'd do```
ItemName_Module.ItemType = "Item Name",

#

i can't see the module in the script you posted but the itemtype is GWH_Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger there

robust locust
#

I though I could have all the translations (items/recipes) in 1 file GWH_EN.txt, but do I need to have separate items_EN and recipes_EN files?
I feel like I've done everything completely wrong 😩

image.png image.png
bronze yoke
#

they need to be separate, the specific filenames you see in the vanilla translation folder are the only ones that work and things need to go in the right ones

#

this is one of the cases where files with the same name don't override each other if you were worried about that

robust locust
#

hmmm... ok. So pretty much the original items and recipes files don't need to change (from before I replaced the names)...?

#

ItemName_EN {
ItemName_GWH.Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger = Hanksie Guitar Wall Hanger,
}

item Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger
{
DisplayCategory = Furniture,
DisplayName = Hanksie Guitar Wall Hanger,
Type = Moveable,
Icon = GWHIcon,
Weight = 0.1,
WorldObjectSprite = HGWH_tiles_0,
}

Like this? The file name is ItemName_EN.txt

bronze yoke
#

there's a couple syntax errors:```
ItemName_EN = {
ItemName_GWH.Hanksie'sGuitarWallHanger = "Hanksie Guitar Wall Hanger",
}

Does anyone know if there is a mod that basically overhauls the professions to giving you boost to a set of skills that would make sense for said profession and make all other skills level at a very low rate? For example a Mechanic would have traits such as short blunt, mechanics, electrical, and metal working. And these skills would double or triple the rate they work but all other would be cut down to half speed or so. (Except for str and fit for obvious reasons) I'm looking for a playthrough with friends that makes it to where we all rely on each other instead of have one or two jack of all trades that do everything. If anyone knows a mod like this or as close to this as possible please pm me the mod.

I'm creating a mod that allows a minimal chance of healing from the zombie infection. Now if you are lucky and heal I would like to give some malus to the PG I would like to make sure that he loses 1 level to strength and 1 to physical form.
do you have a function to suggest that allows the lowering of 1 level to the 2 skills?

# dull moss nope, still no print

I don't remember how I got there, but I ended up hooking into Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing and triggering an event. Probably not the best way to do it but I'm dumb and impatient.

local ripThatShit = Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing
function Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem)
    triggerEvent("rippinShit", player)
    ripThatShit(items, result, player, selectedItem)
end
bronze yoke
#

oh wait yeah

#

that timed action isn't even used, it's a recipe

#

i remember seeing this before

dull moss
digital sail
#

you really have to fight against the game to make anything work :'D

queen oasis
#

it's hard enough fighting against my typos

dull moss
#

REAL

dull moss
#

or is it just a function?

#

there's triggerEvent method so not sure how's what

bronze yoke
#

they're using the global

#

i'd say it's not wise to use events from lua in most cases, here just trigger your code directly

dull moss
# 
local original_Recipe_OnCreate_RipClothing = Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing
function Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem)
    ---random shit here
    original_Recipe_OnCreate_RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem);
end

would this jsut work?

#

Like isnt it fired on creating recipes

#

so it wont work on doing the rippin

queen oasis
# 
LuaEventManager.AddEvent("rippinShit");
Events.rippinShit.Add( 
function(player) 
    player:Say("Rippin that shit")
end
)
#

listen to albion though

dull moss
#

Maybe there's a better way of doing this. What I'm trying to do is catch what player ripping

#

Plan is to track amount of unique items ripped

queen oasis
#

you should be able to grab "items" and plug it into wherever you keep track of that

dull moss
#

ye that was the plan

#

why using lua event is bad tho

queen oasis
#

also, just to justify my bad coding, I used an event because Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing is server and I wanted to get it back to client without too much work

dull moss
#

oh I can send shit between client and server, thatnks to albion help I got the routing going and can send stugff back and forward without problem

queen oasis
#

mod data is prol the way to go. and albion is god/dess

dull moss
#

yep

#

so Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem) is fired on server, right?

queen oasis
#

it's in the server folder

dull moss
#

ye but isnt a buch of server luas are run on client anyway

#

idk

queen oasis
#

I don't remember exactly how I got to what I did, but I don't think it worked in the client folder

dull moss
#

ok cheers, I'll go tinker

queen oasis
#

idk, I have covid brain so I'm dumber than usual

dull moss
#

plan is to overwrite it on server side and send command to client to update moddata

bronze yoke
#

their purpose is primarily to trigger lua code from java, you can already trigger lua from lua

#

sometimes the event structure is desirable though - reimplementing them in lua is pretty easy and faster, but events are actually one of the things that suffer least from java overhead, so it's not that much worse to just use regular events

hi i need some help, my issue right now is that items is nil when trying to open a context menu for an item, my goal is to make a submod of the roleplay descriptors that allow you to craft an exclaim, but also allow the player to change the colour

and yet when I rip clothes it doesnt print receiving command

ETW Logger | Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing() sending command```
#

any ideas?

#

oh currently testing on locally hosted server (from main menu)

#

but if repairs sending commands work then ripping should to, no?

drifting ore
drifting ore
#

I mean among the technical reasons it can fail, there aren't really any that seem like the culprit. sendServerCommand can fail if it's not running on a server, or if IsoPlayer doesn't have associated network address. OnServerCommand may not receive the command if it was sent to a different player. Your handler may not call the function if the module or command wasn't exactly matching.

#

There is one additional failure mode of sendServerCommand and that's if the table cannot be serialized, but there's an exception for InventoryItem specifically and it gets serialized as a special case, but nothing else except basic Lua types can be serialized.

#

(by the way serializing the whole object is a huge waste of network traffic if you just need its name)

is there a way to make custom moodles?

hardy drift
#

thank you forgot this exists

kind turret
#

i hate when i play without it

#

i forget im starving and thirst lol

grizzled fulcrum
#

doesn't help that there's not much sound effects to reflect moodle status

#

thats a mod I wanted to make for a while before I got busy lol

hardy drift
#

that would for sure be a great mod to add some depth

#

like stomach gurggling for qeasy and giggling for high and drunk

kind turret

that is genius

#

ive never made a mod but that sounds so simple

hardy drift
#

simple sure, but making all those god damn sound files

#

that's a chore

kind turret
#

make em, recycle audio

#

doesnt matter

#

as long as its a thing

i guess if you just found free sound effects it wouldn't take very long

if you wanna recommend flavors im open to suggestions

kind turret
#

i could think of a couple

#

is it safe to add onto existing saves?

hardy drift
#

yeah but they wont spawn in already loaded loot locations

#

you'd have to visit an area you haven't been (houses, gas stations etc)

kind turret
#

helps with fatigue is awesome

#

i usually bring like redbull but now zyns work

hardy drift
#

yeah it's a bit op with -20 i believe but it's meant to simulate how a snus pouch lasts up to an hour or more with how strong some are

kind turret
#

do they spawn on zeds>

hardy drift
#

i keep forgetting to add that but I could do it easily

#

i will tomorrow since you just reminded me

kind turret
#

yeah that would be badass

hardy drift
#

working on a way to add a double decker option but for some reason im having trouble

kind turret
#

but it would have to be low spawn chance

#

50% of zeds spawn chips already for me lol

hardy drift
#

yeah for sure, i already had them kinda high originally but i think i got em dialed in now

kind turret
#

awesome

#

do you make any other mods?

hardy drift

#

is making mods hard?

hardy drift

simplest thing ever but useful if you need a lot of stones and don't find a lot when foraging. funny too cause once i made it, my troubles with never finding stones went away

kind turret
#

im thinking if you make your own mods ittl be better

hardy drift
#

it can be

#

depending on what ur doing

#

modders have done a lot of good documentation and stuff so at least there's a decent bit of help in that regard

kind turret

anywhere specific?

im all over reddit and youtube

like traits with actual mechanics

Yeah just check other mods how they are done

kind turret

not just some +1 free skills

hardy drift

wdym by mechanics?

kind turret
#

like it has a feature to it

what's an example you have in mind

like schizophrenia trait mod

#

ohhhhhhh yeah i get you

kind turret
#

ye

hardy drift
#

haven't done trait stuff before but i don't think that would be super hard

You can double click containers inside other containers to open them

last time i played with inventory tetris was a year ago

Got a question for the people here. I have an idea for a very simple mod that I want to implent. This mod uses what I believe to be, stock assets(The friendship braclet).

My question is this: How does zomboid "Change" items? My mod idea is to essentially use/duplicate the "Friendship Bracelet" into a Paracord braclet, that gives twine. Simple mod. You have 10 units of twine, and at least 2 tailoring, you can turn twine into a wearable "paracord" bracelet. And anyone can turn it from a braclet back into twine. Wearable on either wrist(preferably the non-watch).

I suppose my question is what mods should I look at that does this kind of behavior, to try and duplicate it?

#

Wait, I think I found one: AUthenticz

bright fog
cursive hull
# bright fog Paracord ?

Paracord, also known as 550 cord, is a lightweight nylon cord comprised of 9 nylon strands, each caple of holding about 80 lbs each. It's called 550 cord because it's rated to hold up to 550 lbs. It's often used in survival task, as it is a lightweight, synthetic(And therefore doesn't rot) cordage used for everything from making fishing traps to shoe laces.

#

The closest in-game thing we have, is twine.

bright fog
#

Why not use directly twine or just make a new item which you can find ?

cursive hull
bright fog
#

But you want to transform twine into paracord ?

cursive hull
#

A placeholder name, as the case may be

# 
      {
          Bracelet_RightFriendshipTINT,
       SkillRequired:Tailoring=2
          Result:Twine=2,
       Time:50.0,
      }```
#

This is what I got so far.

#

I'm alos going to work on a few new modified items.

#

Basicaly, there's a school of thought, isntead of having two things on both wrist(A watch and a braclet), you instead wrap paracord(Or in this case, twine), around the watchband to kill two birds with one stone. This Also allows you to store items in the wrappings of the paracord. Items such as a Paperclip. That you should always have on you.

#

So, The item i'm making will require the use of a digital watch(Black or Red), 10 units of twine, and a paperclip and/or nail. I'm also thinking about doing one with fishing line, and just make it more efficent since fishing line has less uses than twine.

#

@bright fog Makes sense?

if you made a 3d model of this, and then saved a pic of it at this angle for an icon, it would look a lot better as the static icon than the pixel art

galaxy gas model + texture pretty much done now

#

Hey have you guys run into issues trying to use isWallTo()? I've been calling it on an instance of IsoGridSquare but the error logs are saying it doesn't exist, the square does though

#

Is it because it's being called from a nested function that there could be data integrity issues?

bronze yoke
#

what error are you getting specifically? tried to call nil?

hollow flint
#

Yeah

#

Then says function does not exist

bronze yoke
#

can you show your code?

hollow flint
#

I just finished cooking so in a bit

bronze yoke
#

your error is on a previous line

#

for c in cardinals do cardinals is not an iterator function

#

you likely meant for i, c in ipairs(cardinals) do

hollow flint
#

oh yeah i forgot lua needs that thanks

sudden kestrel
hardy drift
#

i get that, but i still make 3d models for mine even tho they're memes

sudden kestrel
#

yeah but effort

hardy drift
#

snus and galaxy gas but i still want it to be somewhat quality u feel me

sudden kestrel
#

against the point

#

I dont want quality tbh I just be making the mods for me you feel me?

#

i need to post to workshop so friends can use them in server tho

hardy drift
#

fair enough, if you wanted to for modelos tho u could prolly just go into the game files and reskin the existing beers

sudden kestrel
#

like ive used blender before done the donut and all that

sudden kestrel
hardy drift
#

if u want actually i could make the texture for u

sudden kestrel
#

I mean half the code already uses the default beer

sudden kestrel
#

mods are practically open source so

hardy drift

bet ill find the original model and texture and reskin it and send it to ya

alr shouldn't take too long

Hello guys, I have a question please, Is it possible to create a recipe that need multiples items to fix an item ? I mean, for example, I would like that to repair an axe that would need blowtorch, scrap metal and welding rods. But no matter what I try, it's impossible to add a second Item. Blowtorch and scrap metal is ok, but i can't add another component.
Anyone could tell me if it's possible ? And if yes, how ? Thanks

hardy drift
#

@sudden kestrel

sudden kestrel
#

oh my fault lmao

hardy drift
#

gimme 1 sec

junior steeple
#

At the moment, my code section is like this for the axe

    
{
       Require : Axe,
GlobalItem : BlowTorch;
       
       Fixer : ScrapMetal; MetalWelding=5,
    }```
#

It works pretty well, but idk how to add another needed component

hardy drift
# 
module FixAxe
{
    recipe Fix Axe
    {
        BlowTorch=1,
        ScrapMetal=1,
    WeldingRods=1,

        Result:AxeName,
        Time:100.0,
        Category:Crafting,
    }
}
junior steeple
#

Thank you, so I need to create a module for each item I would like to fix this way ?

hardy drift
#

yeah pretty much

junior steeple
#

Dang

hardy drift
#

it can all be in the same file though

junior steeple
#

Yeah I could name it module FixMetal for example and put all the item I want to be fixed this way inside ?

#

So I guess it's impossible to do it with the "fix" system of the game

hardy drift
# 

module FixFireAxe
{
    recipe Fix FireAxe
    {
        FireAxe=1
        BlowTorch=1,
        ScrapMetal=1,
        WeldingRods=1,

        Result:FireAxe,
        Time:100.0,
        Category:Crafting,
    }
}


module FixWoodAxe
{
    recipe Fix WoodAxe
    {
        WoodAxe=1
        BlowTorch=1,
        ScrapMetal=1,
        WeldingRods=1,

        Result:WoodAxe,

trying to get it to be the 3d model

hardy drift
#

you have no models_x folder

sudden kestrel
#

true

hardy drift
#

inside media create models_x\WorldItems

#

3d obj files go inside worlditems

#

you put your .fbx inside of textures\WorldItems

#

that's where the texture for your 3d model goes

#

item static icons go just inside textures

sudden kestrel

duplicate the model, name it staticModeloBottle, put it in models_x\WorldItems along with the other one.

in your CVModelo_Model.txt (forgot what u named it cause u deleted it lol), add another model named StaticModelo with the mesh being your staticModeloBottle, texture is the same name.

in your items.txt file, do:

```lua

StaticModel = StaticModelo
WorldStaticModel = Modelo
Icon = whatever the pixel art file name is

Nobody likes this disgusting clip art style and yet every corporation is using it front and center. It's like selling customer data after they opt out of it is not enough, they want to see how much straight up disrespect to their customers they can get away with.

#

(bonus points for selling your data being default from which you must opt out)

(bonus points x2 for opt out page being locked behind EULA which permits them to sell your data as soon as you click OK, and they sell your data anyway if you never accepted the EULA)

dull moss

is client code loaded first? compared to server

#

.luas that is

#

actually doesnt matter, it works so whatever

#

although would be nice if someone could explain how and why this works
this is server function

local original_Recipe_OnCreate_RipClothing = Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing;
---comment
---@param items any
---@param result any
---@param player IsoPlayer
---@param selectedItem any
function Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem)
    local item = items:get(0)
    ---@cast item Clothing
    print("ETW Logger | Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing() item: " .. item:getName());
    ETWCommonFunctions.addClothingToUniqueRippedClothingList(player, item);
    original_Recipe_OnCreate_RipClothing(items, result, player, selectedItem);
end```
this is client lua
```lua
---@param player IsoPlayer
---@param item Clothing
function ETWCommonFunctions.addClothingToUniqueRippedClothingList(player, item)
    print("ETW Logger | ETWCommonFunctions.addClothingToUniqueRippedClothingList() item: " .. item:getName());
end

this is print of my friend console who joined on my local server as client

ETW Logger | ETWCommonFunctions.addClothingToUniqueRippedClothingList() item: Knee-length Skirt
#

I thought Recipe.OnCreate.RipClothing is fired on server but how come then it prints in his console

#

I am confusion

dull moss
#

separate question, when do I even need to use include in luas. Like arent all files loaded before player joins server/save anyway? so if I have a func a in ddd.lua and also have nnn.lua and use func a in nnn.lua won't it work anyway?

Your only way to access functions that are stored locally is to store them in a table, and return at the end of the file this table, then requiring this file and writing inside a variable, you'll retrieve the table

#

That's called a module

# 
-- file1.lua
local function testFunction()
    -- do stuff
end

local module = {}

module.yourFunction = function()
    -- do stuff
end


-- end of file
return module

-- file2.lua

-- can't use testFunction in anyway

local module = require("file1")

-- use the function
module.yourFunction()
#

If a function is global, you can access it anywhere too, as long as you make sure the file it's from is loaded first

#

Best way to do that is requiring the file

-- file1.lua

function globalFunction()
    -- do stuff
end

-- file2.lua
require("file1")

globalFunction()

Does anyone know, are sandbox settings only stored on the server side? I try to pull the same variables from the sandbox settings and on the server side it shows the choices made but on the client side it shows the default settings on the same variables...

bronze yoke

that's not supposed to happen

#

when are you accessing them?

outer crypt
#

so working on dynamic radio stations and the variable is pulled like this and shows in the log when it's pulled.

#

local TMRChannel1 = SandboxVars.TrueMusicRadio.TMRChannel1

bronze yoke
#

when does this code run?

outer crypt
#

LOG : General , 1725734110735> scriptmanager = zombie.radio.scripting.RadioScriptManager@5f0ed174, isNewGame = true

#

so it initially runs when the server starts up and adds the radio channels

bronze yoke
#

so not on any event?

outer crypt
#

OnLoadRadioScripts

#

it appears correct at that stage

#

then later I am trying to pull the same variables when turning on and off radios and it shows the default values on the client side

#

local TMRChannel1 = SandboxVars.TrueMusicRadio.TMRChannel1

#

during the toggleonoff

#

print("Channel1: " .. TMRChannel1)
print("Channel2: " .. TMRChannel2)
print("Channel3: " .. TMRChannel3)
print("Channel4: " .. TMRChannel4)
print("Channel5: " .. TMRChannel5)

#

LOG : General , 1725734156920> Channel1: 94000
LOG : General , 1725734156921> Channel2: 94200
LOG : General , 1725734156921> Channel3: 94400
LOG : General , 1725734156922> Channel4: 94600
LOG : General , 1725734156922> Channel5: 94800

#

I have used sandbox settings and was able to pull the setting from both sides without issues

#

this is something new

#

so what ends up happening is I get the new stations on the radios but the music tries to send it to the defaults.

#

I just assumed that the sandbox settings were available to both clients and server, especially on a solo game.

bronze yoke
#

there isn't a separate server at all in singleplayer

outer crypt
#

so wierd

bronze yoke
#

if you're having this issue in singleplayer then something is very wrong

#

generally though, sandbox settings are synchronised and something is wrong here

outer crypt
#

at least I know something it wrong, thank you 🙂 Maybe I can trick it into pushing the variables on during the radio process.

#

if I change the defaults it works on all the frequencies that are open, so its not an issue with the channels. just the data being passed on from the sandbox later in the game

dull moss
digital sail
# dull moss separate question, when do I even need to use `include` in luas. Like arent all ...

This question makes a lot of sense if you haven't been introduced to the living scope of Lua variables. By default any function or variable you declare in Lua is global. That means you do not need to use require to access it from any other file since all files are loaded in a batch in PZ.

function ThisFunctionIsInTheGlobalScope()
end

ThisVariableIsInTheGlobalScope = 1

However that's considered bad practice and it can make it hard for you to know what variable contains what, or remember what function is supposed to be called from outside a file or not.
So you should use the keyword local any time you declare a function (not a method) or a variable, unless you explicitly want it to be global (very unlikely).

local function ThisFunctionIsLocalToTheFile()
end

local ThisVariableIsLocalToTheFile = 1

Whenever you want to expose a variable from your file to any other file you should return it at the end of the file.

local MyFileObj = {}

function MyFileObj.method()
end

return MyFileObj

And then get it from another file where you need it:

local MyFileObj = require('path/to/MyFileObj')

MyFileObj.method()

The rule to remember when declaring a variable or function is : always use local.

I'm looking at most recent workshop uploads and something like 50% of it is copyrighted music. That looks like a legal disaster waiting to happen.

dull moss
#

It won't

drifting ore
#

not to mod makers

dull moss
#

Ppl been putting copyrighted stuff in mods for decades

dull moss
drifting ore
#

But to steam it might. PZ's workshop right now is an equivalent of a pirate mp3 repository.

#

Hopefully if (when) they recieve legal notice they'll just bulk wipe everything that has to do with true music and that'd be that. But it might actually result in PZ workshop getting closed. Big media takes piracy very seriously.

dull moss
#

That's so much speculation that I can't even asnwer that

drifting ore
#

We all know what happened to napster.

#

And no the site doesnt' have to be dedicated to piracy, individual instances of illegaly distributing copyrighted music also count.

#

Like you said usually nothing happens, because usually nobody cares.

#

Even Nintendo doesn't goes after individual romhacks with small playerbase.

#

But PZ isn't exactly small and Steam Workshop isn't exactly your basement server website. Which is why the way I see it, it's a legal disaster waiting to happen.

dull moss
#

I think you're coping

drifting ore
dull moss
#

Deal wesmart

drifting ore
# dull moss I think you're coping

nah man "that's a lof of copyrighted music being uploaded" is an observation and "this is totally fine nothing can possibly go wrong" is cope

dull moss
#

I mean you said that they will recieve lagal notice

#

I doubt

#

I dont think lables care enough tbh

#

to bother with it

drifting ore
#

Well with entities like Steam and Project Zomboid it's a matter of time. What happens as a result is the question. "Nothing" is not one of possible answers.

dull moss
#

True, just like it happened in OSU, where millions of ppl share songs/beatmaps whatever they are called

#

Except those are still shared

drifting ore
#

I think there's 0% chance that OSU didn't have to have the talk with their lawyers.

dull moss
#

Ye but you implying that PZ will get in trouble

#

Which is just pure speculation

drifting ore
#

PZ doesn't have anything to do with what mods people make for it.

#

But Steam has everything to do that's uploaded and distributed through its servers.

dull moss
#

Neigher does steam

#

When you upload to steam you confirm that you ahve legal right to upload the files you uploading

drifting ore
dull moss
#

No it means that its not steam problem if label sends them DMCA

bronze yoke
#

it's nothing unique to pz

#

the entire steam workshop is a hub for redistributed copyrighted content

dull moss
#

steam will shut down your mod and if needed forward legal documents to you

bronze yoke
#

always has been

dull moss
#

if you think steam will get in legal trouble for its dumb users uploads you're wrong

#

there are pages of legal documents that you accept by using workshop

#

that clean steam hands

drifting ore
dull moss
dull moss
#

?

drifting ore
#

But DMCA is not a legal defense tool. It's a legal attack tool.

#

Without DMCA you have to win in court to do anything. With DMCA you just issue the notice and the website must instantly comply lest they want to go to the court. But you can skip DMCA entirely if you so choose.

dull moss
#

you are right, multi-billion company is gonna get in trouble for 20yo modder from Moldovia uploading Slayer album in PZ

drifting ore
#

Legal negotiations started over less haha.

dull moss
#

True, PZ is first game that has copyrighted music on workshop, so obviously now that this is the first precedent Steam will get in trouble /s

drifting ore
#

It's on the energy spectrum of quantum legal responsibility. Depending on where you fall on it, there are different odds of anything happening.

#

And it goes from 0 to 100 instantly, there isn't gradual transition.

dull moss
#

You are right

drifting ore
#

Well the entire counter-argument is basically an appeal to.. what it's called now? It's not appeal to incredulity exactly.

dull moss
#

No argument, you are right

drifting ore
#

We know it does happen, but you argue that there were N cases where it didn't happen (yet) so in here this also wouldn't happen.

drifting ore
dull moss
#

No, I mean I withdraw whatever I said

#

You are right

#

Gg

#

Steam will get in trouble cuz of copyrighted music in PZ workshop

drifting ore
#

Nah that's not how it works.

#

You withdrew by making a punctuation that you were unquestionably 100% correct all along, by making an ironical opposite statement.

dull moss
#

That is literally what you saying

drifting ore
#

Everything one says is literally what he says. 😛

#

Also, water is wet. More news at 11.

#

Anyway I didn't say you were wrong on that. It is all factual.

dull moss
#

So when you say that steam will get in trouble it's ok but when I say it's suddenly ridiculous?

drifting ore
#

I say it might get in trouble, by which I mean it might get a letter from some lawyers. And then what happens is hopefully (probably) just mass take down.

#

I'm only challenging here the assertion that, within margin of astronomical bad luck, it will absolutely never happen. Because it did happen in the past, to different people over variety of similar reasons.

#

I mean it's mostly Nintendo's shenanigans. But still.

dull moss
#

Like a couple of mods might get taken down. That's all that can happen

#

Steam will not be monitoring pz workshop

drifting ore
#

If you correct that to *probably will then that'd be on point.

dull moss
#

IS won't be monitoring pz workshop

#

Everything will be exactly the same

#

And you know why? Because ppl been uploading copyrighted content on workshop for more than a decade, and guess what, it's still there and steam doesn't enforce non-copyrighted content and game devs don't enforce non-copyrighted content, and you know why? Because nobody cares enough to have someone checking thousands of new mods daily

#

So ye

#

Good luck with your assumption that suddenly things will change

#

Or steam will suffer

#

Or content will be moderated

drifting ore
#

Youtube cares to chech every single video. Not manually of course. Steam doesn't do it because it has the excuse of not having the technology.

dull moss
#

I don't care why steam doesn't do it. Steam will not get in trouble. Few mods might get taken down. You're free to believe unrealistic things

drifting ore
#

The one thing I can guarantee 100% is that things will get worse over time. At some point in the future, Steam will moderate content using AI, if it doesn't implodes before that point. The others will take it's place like Epic Store or what other Chinese platform is there, and they will do the moderation instead.

#

Aforementioned YouTube didn't used to have BPD-suffering AI as the principial comment moderator. Now randomly vanishing youtube comments are the norm.

#

Is there a way to remove pyrophobia from the burn ward patient trait ?

#

Youtube BTW is in a special place regarding copyrighted music specifically. It struck mostly a blanket deal where it's a publisher for that music, and most of the ad proceedings go towards copyright holders.

drifting ore
drifting ore
#

step 1 is to dig into that mod source code and see how exactly ward patient is implemented

#

i imagine there's probably a function that checks for pyrophobia conditions and manually applies debuffs

#

i also imagine it's embedded inside a bigger all-encompassing traits processing function, but this might not be the case

#

if it's all contained within a single function, and that function is global, then you can remove this function from all events that use it

#

it'll simply never run so debuffs will never apply

#

hmm

#

i found the code that makes me panic and stuff near fire

#

but i don't think it has the code that makes me unaable to use fire items

#

can i post the codee here ? It's a local function

#

oh wait you meant remove pyrophobia trait from ward patient profession

#

yeah

#

well that one i'm not sure but you can probably figure out easily enouhg from checking professions code

#

its a trait tho

#

it must add it manually at some point

#

I think this one is only for the panic and stress when near fire

#

ig being unable to use fire items is somewhere else

#

yeah you probably need to look in file that defines professions

#

and search for pyrophobia

#

ahhahahah

#

i found it

#

it was in an on equip local function

image.png
#

seems like he removed each fire type item manually

#

does anyone know what this does ?

image.png
#

that's the trait itself, you need to look for profession that adds the trait to your character

#

isn't profession stuff like officer and fire ranger ?

#

burn ward patient is just a negative trait

#

well i'm not using that mod so clear and literal communication of these things is necessary

#

if "pyrophobia" isn't a trait and "ward patient" isn't a profession then we gonna need to start over

#

oki

#

Burn ward patient is a negative trait and it doesn't explicitly state it gives me pyrophobia. But it does make me unable to use fire items like molotov and makes me panic/stress near fire.

#

so pyrophobia is just what you call the effect of being unable to use fire items and being stressed of fire

#

yup

#

allright

#

so you want to remove just inability to use fire items?

#

yeah

drifting ore
#

or you can just change the effect to increasing stress to max level idk

#

either way since this is embedded inside an encompassing function, you need to override the entire encompassing function

#

The upper part of the function is for other traits so I'll probably only need to remove the bottom part

📎 message.txt
#

dam no indentation in .txt

#

yeah basically copy and paste the whole thing into your mod file and edit out the bad part. The issue though is that it's a local function. Is it being exposed in any way? Like returned at the end or put inside a global table?

#

not sure what a global table is but there is no return at the end. this is all the burn related code in that function.

image.png
#

global table is one declared without local

This is the mod. Here's what it's supposed to do:

Use the base game assets(Friendship bracelet, and Red/Black Digital watches), to create Survival bracelets: Bracelets that are essentially friendship bracelets that weigh more and can be broken down and turned into twine + Whatever usefull stuff was made using it. There is a lot. It's all in the "Dean's Items" txt file. I also added a reciepie to craft a friendship bracelet out of 2 stacks of twine(10 units, total, I think?) which can be worn, and then unraveled for twine.

Here's what it's doing: That code for twine to bracelt and back? That works. Nothing else does.

All of the items are visible, in the inventory. I used a cheat to spawn them. Only the watches tooltips work. You can't put anything on, and you can't break down any of the modded bracelets into their components. I am lost. Please help.

    ClothingItemExtraOption = RightWrist,
    clothingExtraSubmenu = LeftWrist,
    Cosmetic = TRUE,
    Tooltip = Tooltip_SurvivalBraceletTailor,
  }```

This is an example of one of the items that's not working.
# 
      {
          destroy Twine=2,
       destroy Needle,
       destroy RippedSheets,
       destroy Thread=21,
       Keep Needle,

       SkillRequired:PlantScavenging=1,
       Category:PlantScavenging,
          Result:Bracelet_RightSurvivalTailoringTINT,

       Sound:PutItemInBag,
       AnimNode:RipSheets,

       OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.recipe_Unwrap_TailoringSurvivalBracelet,
       AnimNode:RipSheets,
      }```

And this is the code that controlls "Wrapping and unwrappnig". I can't get it to work at all.
#

And that function for Oncreate:

    local inv = player:getInventory();
    inv:AddItem("Base.Twine",2);
    inv:AddItem("Base.Needle");    ```
Which also doesn't work, cause the recipe doesn't work.
#

I'm pretty much stumped at this point. I've gone throuhg and made sure my syntax is right, but it's not..working. What's frustrating is that this is working. Without any errors. it's all on the same "Recipe" Txt file:

      {
          destroy Twine=2,
       
       SkillRequired:PlantScavenging=1,
       Category:PlantScavenging,
          Result:Bracelet_RightFriendshipTINT,
       Time:180.0,
       Sound:PutItemInBag,
       AnimNode:RipSheets,
       
      }
recipe Convert Ripped Sheets into Bracelet
      {
          destroy RippedSheets=20,
       
       SkillRequired:PlantScavenging=1,
       SkillRequired:Tailoring=1,
       Category:PlantScavenging,
          Result:Bracelet_RightFriendshipTINT,
       Time:240.0,
       Sound:PutItemInBag,
       AnimNode:RipSheets,
      }    
recipe Convert Bracelet into Twine   
      {
          destroy Bracelet_RightFriendshipTINT/Base.Bracelet_LeftFriendshipTINT,
       
       Category:PlantScavenging,

       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.None,

I have a foraging mod I got to work, but I'm trying to tidy it up because it's an absolute mess and I'm terrible at actually doing any programming.

I'm trying to change some of the forageCategories categories in forageDefinitions.lua , but only a few of them. I thought these functions in forageSystem.lua might help me out, but every time I try to use them I get an "attempted index of non-table" error.

Could someone explain to me how to use this?

I do also have my mod file. It's just a modified forageDefinitions.lua file, but it's a mess. I didn't want to change too much until I could get a simplified mod file to work, so all the actual changes are in forageCategories and below.

so i'm taking a crack at trying to fix a mod ive been wanting to use but haven't been able to due to a broken recipe. all the mod does is multiply the amount of ammo you get per box by 5 times. here's a screen shot of the particular recipe which is broken. as far as I can tell the shotgun shells opening recipe is set up correctly by the original mod maker, yet while this mod is on I can no longer open shotgun shell boxes anymore. craft helper even shows that there is no recipe to do so, but there is one to pack shells into a box. so i'm pretty much at wits end with this, anyone have a theory on what might be broken here?

image.png
#

here's a screenshot of all the scripts the mod has

image.png image.png image.png
#

upon closer observation, the guns of 93 recipe file does have a repeated recipe name, so i'll try giving it a different name and seeing if that somehow magically fixes it

#

oh my fucking god it did

#

that one duplicated name recipe is what broke the shotgun shells recipe

it doesn't really matter, the only practical difference is that an anonymous function is harder to mess with externally and can't be disconnected from the event easily

bright fog
#

Yeah

analog summit

thx for explaining

bright fog
#

Tho we should teach good practice of making it accessible

bronze yoke
#

depending on your code structure making it accessible might not be a big deal

bright fog
#

Of course, but still

bronze yoke
#

i don't personally lean as heavily on the 'make everything accessible' practice as some people do

#

and there's a trick to hijack any event handler even anonymous anyway

bright fog
#

Too many times did I have to patch mods that are not accessible

bronze yoke
#

it has performance repercussions and can be poor api design

bright fog
#

I'm not putting a single minute patching a mod that does not make his shit accessible

Ofc there's most likely things that do not require it, but really I'd rather teach people to do it than not do it

# bright fog

particularly bizzare that PZ supports unicode but enforces specific encoding for specific languages

#

i don't really see how it could've reasonably happened stemming from low adoption of unicode at the time, because it was already at 50% and sharply rising

drifting ore
#

As for performance hit, it's a valid point. In hotloops you want to avoid dereferencing a bunch of tables.

#

Though it's usually an option to precache the specific key-value from an accessible table each time you enter a function.

#

Assuming the function itself isn't in a hotloop, the penalty is close to nothing. But then dependency injection is also an option.

#

I do purely local for things like "check for identical table contents" function. It's not really reasonable to expect functions like that to be modified to implement a feature.

actually nevermind, if you're new you probably don't know eityher

#

well in any case, when you check a player entering a zone, you have a reference to said player - use this function on that player object

glossy frost
#

I though IsoGameCharacter was the actual thing to call before sethalonote

drifting ore
#

implying that player is the name of the variable you're using

glossy frost
#

oh

drifting ore
#

IsoGameCharacter is a java class, it has functions attached to it

#

when an object is of that class, it can use its functions

glossy frost
#

I'm using the PvPE mod as example, here he's using self.character:getX() to get the character I'm assuming

local isNonPvpZone = NonPvpZone.getNonPvpZone(self.character:getX(), self.character:getY())

so can I create a text like that ?

self.character:SetHaloNote("Test")
#

Obviously it's not working as I intended that's why I'm asking here ahah

No it depends where you're calling your function

glossy frost
# 
local old_ISSafetyUI_prerender = ISSafetyUI.prerender
function ISSafetyUI:prerender()
    old_ISSafetyUI_prerender(self)
    local isNonPvpZone = NonPvpZone.getNonPvpZone(self.character:getX(), self.character:getY())
    local safetyEnabled = getServerOptions():getBoolean("SafetySystem");
    if safetyEnabled then
        local isPvpZone = ForcePVPZone:getPvpZone(self.character:getX(), self.character:getY())
        if isPvpZone and not isNonPvpZone then
            if self.character:getSafety():isEnabled() then
                self.character:getSafety():setEnabled(false)
                getPlayerSafetyUI(0):toggleSafety()
                self.character:SetHaloNote("Test")
            end
            self.radialIcon:setVisible(false);
        end
    end
end
#

That's the entire function

bright fog
#

What's ISSafetyUI ?

#

I mean I guess yeah you do

#

I would suggest caching self.character tho

# 
local old_ISSafetyUI_prerender = ISSafetyUI.prerender
function ISSafetyUI:prerender()
    old_ISSafetyUI_prerender(self)
    local character = self.character
    local isNonPvpZone = NonPvpZone.getNonPvpZone(character :getX(), character :getY())
    local safetyEnabled = getServerOptions():getBoolean("SafetySystem");
    if safetyEnabled then
        local isPvpZone = ForcePVPZone:getPvpZone(character:getX(), character:getY())
        if isPvpZone and not isNonPvpZone then
            if character:getSafety():isEnabled() then
                character:getSafety():setEnabled(false)
                getPlayerSafetyUI(0):toggleSafety()
                character:SetHaloNote("Test")
            end
            self.radialIcon:setVisible(false);
        end
    end
end
#

But yes that should be it IF character is defined within self

glossy frost
#

I'll try thanks

#

Btw I'm reloading lua using the F11 tab in debug mode, does it actually reload the entire file ?

#

It's not working sadly

drifting ore
glossy frost
#

Okay I managed to get it work yay

getPlayer():setHaloNote("Test")
#

Now another question lol what's the different between those 3 ?

#

misspelling including something as trivial as capital casing is not allowed

drifting ore
glossy frost
#

Why nothing is explained on the documentation ? Like the variables etc ?

drifting ore
#

too much work

glossy frost
#

So how do you know x)

drifting ore
#

i check the source code

glossy frost
#

Wow ok lol

Ooh okay thanks !

Does anyone know what unit the maxTime of timed actions is? And if it's ticks is there any conversion between in-game or real seconds or is the tick rate non-constant?

drifting ore
minor widget
#

then the digging continues, thanks anyway

drifting ore
#

most of the code operates on minutes, hours, or days. It's usually easy to tell.

hi

#

can someone help

Any idea why UTF-8 characters won't encode properly even when I use ANSI please ?

drifting ore
#

it's not jank it's just really counter intuitive

glossy frost
#

I also tried to restart the game

bronze yoke
steep vortex
# 
    for i=0,items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i)
        if item:getType() == "CoinMould" then            
            result:setName(item:getDisplayName());
            result:setCustomName(true);
        end
    end
end

Is there a way to do something like this? Basically I'm trying to have a coinmould item that's used as a (keepable) recipe ingredient which passes on its name to the result of the recipe

ETA: This was actually a mistake in the script file. I had "Oncreate:StampCoin", not "OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.StampCoin"

are backpacks consider as clothings ?

bronze yoke
drifting ore
#

well default game speed is 30 minutes per day and then default sandbox settings make it 60 minutes per day

#

which works out to be x48 game speed vs real time and x24 game speed vs real time respectively

bronze yoke
#

but it's 48 ticks per second at 60 minutes per day

drifting ore
#

in that case it's half an in-game second

#

actual timedaction timing code does this

is there any guide on how to make a backpack ?

#

getCell() should return a 300x300 grid, correct?

bronze yoke
#

no

#

it's usually around 200x200

queen oasis
#

ok good

astral garnet
#

How can I publish the translation as a mod?!

bright fog
#

getCell() is probably not the cell you are thinking about

bright fog
bronze yoke
#

the 300x300 map cells are largely unrelated

queen oasis
#

I get 15876 squares from getCell which is better than the 90k I was expecting

i haven't checked older versions but the code gives the distinct impression that they did use to be equivalent but no longer are

Ok, I have to know the basics of the mod development

#

Looks like lua don't support é & ê characters, they simply don't appear at all in game :/

#

Even if I save the lua file as ANSI etc

sleek zealot
#

is 32x32 the max resolution for icons ?

#

if I get bugged action, cleared queue when attempting a custom timed action how can I find out whats wrong/bugged so I can fix it?

Logging 🙂

Tempted to farm backend processing for a mod im writing outside the server into a more server friendly application thoughts?

turns out the isValid method was bugged, fixed it

is there any template exemple avaible or tools when it comes to making clothings ect..

Yippee, red postbox in my UK map!

bronze yoke
#

hell yeah

#

me and a friend are desperate to know if there will be a tescos

raven zinc
#

No there won't

#

So the map's going to be set in the world of zomboid where shops and stuff aren't the same as irl, like Greenes, Gigamart, Spiffos

#

I might make a Tesco like shop kinda based on it, but it won't be called tesco

#

and I plan to add a spiffos chain restaurant somewhere, I imagine spiffo's is a gobal fast food chain

bronze yoke
#

as long as there's something tescos like we'll be pleased - well we'll be pleased regardless, we've both wanted a uk map for a while

raven zinc
#

Same man

#

I got so tired of waiting I had to make it myself

#

This is the entire map at this point

#

I plan for the map to have the village and the surrounding area to begin with

bronze yoke
#

i'll be watching with interest

raven zinc
#

I'll keep people updated, just expect it to take at least 2 months or so, It's a pretty large project, not as large as ravencreek or something, but I'm still learning PZ modding, so it might take time

@bronze yoke Guess this is something you had in mind?
