mod_development

[worthy sparrow]

However. I think you can do that on the go

so like you could update that in-game when user does something, even through context menu

I think. Im not sure though

[opaque ocean]

yeah but my issue is setCapacity is limited to 100 for isoobject containers because... I guess a dev is going on a crusade against modders...

so im not sure how you're getting around that, but that workaround will save me hours of research and work just to deal with it

[blissful urchin]

What are the requirements to see the mods visible on the mods list and make them running ?

[dull moss]

correct folder structure and having mod.info

you can have 0 files except mod.info and it still will show as long as folder struct and mod.info is correct

[willow briar]

Has anyone tried editing zombie inventories

im trying to set the inventory or clearing and adding items

but the changes do not reflect ingame. When debugging the items list clearly shows that something happens.

[worthy sparrow]

Okay, the property changes but the capacity remains the same

probably you have to still reload the square somehow or the container to affect changes?

[opaque ocean]

yeah, so far best way I've found is OnLoadWithSprite

because OnObjectAdd just literally isn't a thing anymore

[worthy sparrow]

I'm using OnLoadedTileDefinitions in my mod

Anyway. I will send you the code snipped in a sec

[opaque ocean]

idk, aside from the capacity issue, loading the script to bump the capacity and add an AcceptItemFunction to the container as soon as it's built is being a pain. I'm about to have to add a right click menu option to it just to make players initialize it manually

[worthy sparrow]

If you have your container you can do:

    local properties = MyContainer:getSprite():getProperties()
    properties:Set("ContainerCapacity", "50")
    properties:CreateKeySet()

[opaque ocean]

wait...

is that for the uh

tiles file?

[worthy sparrow]

yes..

[opaque ocean]

oh shit, that's a dope workaround

[worthy sparrow]

Yup, but the cap remains the same after changing it

so its just the matter of somehow refreshing the container?

idk

I have not played around with pz modding this much to know if its feasible

[opaque ocean]

so, you build it, it turns into 100, but on refresh it turns into 9999?

or you build it, it's 9999 and turns into 100?

[blissful urchin]

Hmm still cannot see the mods, even the example mod is not there, should I put them in the steam workshop folder ?

[worthy sparrow]

First image - set to Large capatity, second image set to Small capacity

It changes the ContainerCapacity property, but above that is the inventory panel and it stays at 6

[opaque ocean]

ah, but it does function beyond 6?

like, you can make it say 15/6?

[worthy sparrow]

Nope, I cant put anything larger than 6

[crystal canyon]

I was doing enum wrong

[opaque ocean]

okay, so how were you refreshing it so that it updates to the new capacity earlier?

[worthy sparrow]

Using OnLoadedTileDefinitions

But I had to reload the save

It must be doable without reloading the save, somehow.

[opaque ocean]

aight, so were you just running that script with OnLoadedTileDefinitions and that increased the capacity, or did you have to do something else with that event after running the script?

[worthy sparrow]

It's just that:

MP = MP or {}

MP.barrelSmokers = {
    "meat_preservation_smokers_0"
}

MP.loadedTiles = function(manager)
    for each, name in ipairs(MP.barrelSmokers) do
        local properties = manager:getSprite(name):getProperties()
        properties:Set(IsoFlagType.solidtrans)
        properties:Set(IsoFlagType.container)
        properties:Set("container", "BarrelSmoker", false)
        properties:Set("ContainerCapacity", "5")
        properties:Set("PickUpWeight", "75")
        properties:Set("IsMoveAble","",true)
        properties:CreateKeySet()
    end
end

Events.OnLoadedTileDefinitions.Add(MP.loadedTiles)

[opaque ocean]

okay, so after you ran that mp.loadedTiles function, it did work, right?

or what's up with it needing to refresh?

[worthy sparrow]

The Event triggers once after loading tile definitions so I think its doing some magic after that to update tile using the props

[worthy sparrow]

It works. Once after loading in the save

So If i now change the properties:Set("ContainerCapacity", "5") to some arbitrary number then reload the save then the cap is that arbitrary number

[opaque ocean]

actually... I don't think this is editing tiledefs, is it? that script is but couldn't you just point it at an individual barrel smoker that you're interacting with, and it changes that specific isoObject's properties?

[worthy sparrow]

But i also added this to context menu options and using right click menu i could change the selected container prop as in this img

[opaque ocean]

no this is updating tiles... wait uh

okay one more pestering question before i go try and retrofit this into my situation...

if you run the script, then reload the save, then build another one, does it have the original or the newly set capacity?

[worthy sparrow]

Let me check that

[willow briar]

id say it'd have the original capacity

[worthy sparrow]

Thing is.. im using now .tiles and .pack instead of plain object like before (hence setting multiple props) so it may overwrite using the tiledefs

[opaque ocean]

yeah, that's what im not sure about, but if it is overwriting tiledefs for the save file, that's fine for my usecase

[worthy sparrow]

Funny.

[opaque ocean]

as long as I can actually make sure I can apply AcceptItemFunction to a container as soon as it's built... which is my other problem but (hopefully) tis didn't break that

[worthy sparrow]

Pre-build ones remain the same after chaning it

building new one sets the cap to the new cap i set it to

[opaque ocean]

that's normal

okay, so it is overwriting tiledefs

[worthy sparrow]

yes

OnLoadedTileDefinitions - on loaded, so AFTER, duh.

[opaque ocean]

uh, reason it's doing what you experienced is because the tile becomes an isoobject saved on the map once you place it, and it pulls it's properties from tiledefs.

so basically, once it's made, it already has it's stats, it isn't changing to sync to tiledefs

unless you were to pick it up and place it again

[worthy sparrow]

i am

[opaque ocean]

theoretically...

that means that TIS still pulled a mean move on modders

[worthy sparrow]

Wait what

[opaque ocean]

but yeah, straight workaround, just straight up edit uh

[worthy sparrow]

Seems like some random loot generated in there

[opaque ocean]

tiledefs, can prob edit the car's properties, etc

it built with loot inside?

that can be worked around, it's probably just because you set it's container type. could just make it have no container definition so that distros don't see it

[worthy sparrow]

I have no idea

Ah yea, that might be it

[opaque ocean]

but really fucking weird that a player construction could generate loot from distros

... that could be used though

constructable loot boxes

?

[worthy sparrow]

Okay

It worked

[opaque ocean]

idk, prob not really more practical or enjoyable to do than just inventory item lootboxes but yknow

[worthy sparrow]

If i build it it has cap of say 500
Then i change its cap using the context menu to 5
Then i pick it up and place back down
Its cap is now 5.

[opaque ocean]

yep

because you essentially rebuilt it by replacing it, in your inventory it doesn't have it's properties stored, it's just a generic item, and when you place it, it calls tiledef to get it's properties

[worthy sparrow]

Yeah

But its not using tiledef

its using the ContainerProperty I set it to

[opaque ocean]

yeah but you set that property to tiledef

for that save

I think

or uh

[worthy sparrow]

Its per object

[opaque ocean]

wait what

[worthy sparrow]

only THIS Smoker changed its cap

[opaque ocean]

okay that's what I was asking about uh...

[blissful urchin]

Guys I think I really have a problem, I properly put my mods on Zomboids/mods/[My Mod Name] with this structure:
./media
mod.info

But still not able to see from the list folder, also, the example mods provided is not visible at all, so I don't know what I am missing :/

[opaque ocean]

if you set it to 500, reloaded save, then built a smoker, changed it to 5, reload, build another, are they both at different capacities...?

idk... I'll have to play around with it

[opaque ocean]

for a b41 or a b42 mod?

[blissful urchin]

B42

[opaque ocean]

b42 file structure changed. now where you would have put the media folder, you put a common folder and a 42 folder

then put everything in the 42 folder because I have no idea what the point of common is

[worthy sparrow]

I have my mod.info and poster/icon in common

[opaque ocean]

no, yeah I do... it's for backwards/forward compatibility... but let's be real b43 probably isn't happening this decade, and once mp drops no one is playing b41 so?

[blissful urchin]

Checking that ... But how my installed mods still have the old structure ?

[worthy sparrow]

common/media/lua/shared/translate should work too I think

[blissful urchin]

Thanks a lot, I can now see my mod in the list 😄

Should maybe report to say that the example mod is outdated 😄

[opaque ocean]

i garuntee you, if you have a mod that doesn't have a 42 folder, or hasn't updated in the last week, it's not going to function if you're playing b42

and will probably crash your game

[worthy sparrow]

Theres an update in pinned messages by Nasko

[blissful urchin]

Oh yeah that's true, that's all my old B41 installed mods, so now where all the B42 workshop mods are put if it's not in /steamapps/workshop/content ? 😄

[opaque ocean]

but yeah, example mod's outdated, they changed the file structure on us and only put it in a thread post (not even an announcement D: ), we don't even really have up to date events/etc on the website

[blissful urchin]

True, thx for informing

[opaque ocean]

they're still in there, that's where steam installs mods to

[blissful urchin]

Strange, I only see old ones

I never worked with lua, are lua files can call java methods ? Sometimes I can't find the referenced method anywhere

Sorry for all these stupids question, I am discovering 😄

[willow briar]

yea

[blissful urchin]

And is it possible to have a look on the java code ? I've seen in the wiki that's it's possible to update it ?

[worthy sparrow]

here are all the decomplied stuff: https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/

[dull moss]

thats a bit grim, I'd expect b43 in 2028 personally

[opaque ocean]

meanwhile, im stupid...

ive been over here this whole time like "oh, that container for players to store bulk logs? im gonna need to run a function on an event as soon as it's built in lua"

why am I not just using an oncreate in the build recipe, and then making it not moveable

[blissful urchin]

That's the javadoc

[dull moss]

btw thats from b41 and not official

hope the author does same for b42

[blissful urchin]

Yeah

[tacit pebble]

Guys this is odd anyone knows why?
I just downgraded to B41 to debug something from my modpack,
and print message is not on console.txt

I can see them in finger print windows.
Or.. I forgot something..?

stack traces are keep refreshing

oh no, stack traces are different too. i can't see any file name, mod name, line number etc.

like these
function: onMechanic -- file: ISVehicleMenu.lua line # 959 | Vanilla
function: onMouseDown -- file: ISRadialMenu.lua line # 28 | Vanilla

I'm gonna clean re-install after an hour, but if someone knows about this, please let me know 🙂

[coarse sinew]

it was deployed yesterday 😭 https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/deployments/github-pages

[dull moss]

pog

[opaque ocean]

anyone have an example of an oncreate variable in a buildmenu recipe working?

[blissful urchin]

Hello again 🤓 , expect from media folder, is the zombie folder can also be overidden by a mod ? For example, if a modify a specific class and put that class in the correct package from my own mod folder like [My mod folder]/zombie/commands/DisabledCommand.class.

Will the game will load DisabledCommand.class from my mod folder ?

[winter bolt]

i think it has to be replaced manually

[opaque ocean]

let's go!
oncreate function for buildmenu is weird. you don't put it in the recipe, you put it in the sprite config

now to finish the rest of the mod

[willow briar]

Does anyone have experience with inventories and containers in zombies?

[opaque ocean]

tbh, unless... and even if... you're talking about distributions. the guy to ask is probably AuthenticPeach

[willow briar]

Im trying to set the inventory and items but even tho they appear in the debugger, the dead zombie doesnt have any of them

[opaque ocean]

as far as I've heard, Peach is incredibly helpful to other modders, and if anyone has experience with distributions, zombies, etc... it's gonna be them

[umbral ingot]

Anyone know at what event vehicles are fully initialized? And also is there a table that lets me iterate and update the data of all vehicles? getWorldObjects():getVecicles()?

[dull moss]

world is loaded as players explore so i doubt you can do that once and mark it done. I'd look into if there's an event onChunkLoad or something

idk if such exists

[umbral ingot]

Ahh okay good to know so its a rolling update

[umbral ingot]

so the LuaEventManager has AddEvent("OnSpawnVehicleStart"); AddEvent("OnSpawnVehicleEnd");

events but theyre private and I can't modify java source code and submit the mod to steam right?

[stoic halo]

I'm looking for the images of the cooked items, like this one (https://pzwiki.net/w/images/4/40/SteakOverdone.png) but I can't find the files in the game folder to reuse them. Do you know if the world models are now used to show the inventory items?

[bright fog]

It's in a .pack file

[stoic halo]

I wouldn't be able to find it

[worthy sparrow]

Thanks for that onCreate tip, I’m going to need it

[winter bolt]

i have no idea i've never done java stuff before

[blissful urchin]

Of fck sorry did not want to reply to your message

Hello, how can I be sure that my lua file has been read from the game ?

[winter bolt]

ohh

[winter bolt]

you can add a print("message") in the file and then check for it in console.log

[blissful urchin]

Thank you, my print is not logged :/, but when I put the exact same folder to the vanilla folder, it works fine

The mod is visible through the mod manager, but seems that my lua file does not load

[grand cloak]

do you guys know how can i make some recipes only show up after they are learned?

[blissful urchin]

Ok strangely I just swaped files from 42 and common and not it's working lol

[dusk saddle]

Does anybody happen to know how to apply the new headers found in PZ's sandbox settings to our own custom sandbox stuff? It'd be a world of good, me thinks

[paper ibex]

Hello, I use the reload button on F11 to reload my Lua script. Sometimes it works great, but other times it doesnt work with all events, like OnTick or GameStart. Has anyone experienced this issue? Maybe I missed something in the documentation, but I couldnt find any answers on Google.

[winter bolt]

looks like they need to be inside a table

[winter bolt]

nvm theyre hardcoded

[dusk saddle]

Dang nabbit! Hopefully it's released to us

[regal crest]

This new folder structure is confusing ;d

[vague marsh]

hey, just wondering if there have been any changes recently to how self.item:getType(), self.item:getWorldItem(), self.item:getID(), or self.item:getDelta() work?

im getting errors related to this its not valid

[regal crest]

My mod isn't even showing in b42 ;d

[umbral ingot]

Anyone know how to get references to vehicles dynamically? Is there a server table that collects them?

[regal crest]

I get an error 4 when I enable the mod and the screen goes black

Yeah how do I fix that lol

[bronze yoke]

i'm hosting them here https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/

[bronze yoke]

that guy is long gone 😭 i'm hosting this one

[golden karma]

Does anyone good with lua can tell me how I use the following function to change properties that are part of a nested object?

local AdjustProperty = function (item_name, property, value)
local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(item_name)
if item then item:DoParam(property .. " = " .. value) end
end

Example object with the nested 'FluidContainer' as in scripts/items.items_cooking.txt:

item RoastingPan
{
    DisplayName = Roasting Pan,
    DisplayCategory = Cooking,
    Type = Normal,
    Weight = 1.3,
    EatType = Pot,
    Icon = Roastingpan,
    IconFluidMask = Roastingpan_Mask,
    MetalValue = 60,
    StaticModel = RoastingPan,
    WorldStaticModel = RoastingPan,
    FillFromDispenserSound = GetWaterFromDispenserMetalMedium,
    FillFromLakeSound = GetWaterFromLakeSmall,
    FillFromTapSound = GetWaterFromTapMetalMedium,
    FillFromToiletSound = GetWaterFromToilet,
    IsCookable = true,
    Tags = Cookable;HasMetal;SmeltableIronMedium,

    component FluidContainer
    {
        ContainerName   = Pan,
        RainFactor    = 1.0,
        capacity        = 0.5,
        CustomDrinkSound = DrinkingFromMug,
    }
}

I can change all the direct attributes of 'RoastingPan' like 'Weight' just fine with this. But using "Fluidcontainer.capacity" does not work. 😦 Nor does just giving the whole array for the AdjustProper() value parameter.

[gleaming wedge]

came here for this problem... how do we flag mod to make it 42 compatible?

[hybrid tiger]

Look at pinned messages, you need to make a new 42 and common folder for it to show up

[gleaming wedge]

thanks, that's for uploading though, what about local one? I'm still developing

[golden karma]

Same for local, if you just have the correct folder structure, it will show up in the client's modlist

[gleaming wedge]

thanks

[golden karma]

so users/yourname/Zomboid/mods/yourmodname/41/[mod.info etc goes here]

[bronze yoke]

i see that you can get the fluid container's script with local fluidContainer = item:getComponentScriptFor(ComponentType.FluidContainer) however i do not see any way to set properties on the resulting object - they deliberately exposed the classes related to this so it may be an oversight

[gleaming wedge]

just wondering if it's a thing that we already know... 42 will work for any sub-version?

or we have to constantly upgrade the number like 42.1 etc

[bronze yoke]

it'll match the highest number lower than the current game version

as long as it's the same build

so if it's 42.2.0 and i have a 42 folder, it'll use that, unless i have a 42.1 or 42.2 folder

[gleaming wedge]

perfect, many thanks

[golden karma]

@albion what does 'deliberately exposed the classes' ?

[bronze yoke]

basically the game has a list of classes that should be available ('exposed') to lua, those have to be manually added so if something is in there it means they want us to be able to mod it

[golden karma]

and the FluidContainer isn't on that list you mean?

[regal crest]

The folder structure is different

[bronze yoke]

it's on the list but there aren't any functions we could use to actually change anything

i think that is probably an oversight if they went to the effort of putting it on the list

[regal crest]

My whole mod is broken and I don't know why

[bronze yoke]

try item:Load(item:getName(), "{ component FluidContainer { capacity = 50, } }")

[regal crest]

Is there an change in the LUA?

[crystal canyon]

hey hey i see youre dealing with fluidcontainers

may I be of help?

Heres my script with fluid containers that work

[regal crest]

They changed the scripts darn

[golden karma]

this doesn't seem to work 😦

[grand estuary]

Hi everyone, how's it going? Do you have any idea how complicated it is to modify the new spawn map art through mods? I'm thinking of working on a version of it with all the information fully translated to PT-BR, but I must admit I don't know much about Lua.

[golden karma]

i might be mistaken but that's creating new items right, I want to change the capacity of an existing item

[sudden wing]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody had a solution for this, I'm trying to update my mod to B42 but two of my mod's guns are having this wierd issue when I try to shoot, all of my other guns are working fine and without any issues, even very similar wepons, does anyone know how could I fix this?

[crystal canyon]

ah, I see, sorry, didnt look far up enough. I saw fluid and gave me ptsd of trying to get these work so wanted to help hahaha

[grand estuary]

I’m not sure if this helps, but I think it’s actually a bug in the game. Yesterday I was testing some weapons with debug mode and infinite ammo, and at times my character would end up like this.

[crystal canyon]

component FluidContainer
{
ContainerName = MetalDrum, -- Name of the fluid container.
capacity = 100.0, -- Maximum capacity of the fluid container.
InitialAmount = 50.0, -- Initial amount of fluid (optional).
InitialFluidsIsRandom = false, -- Whether initial fluids are chosen randomly.
RainCatcher = 1.0, -- Whether the container can catch rain (1.0 = yes, 0.0 = no).
CustomDrinkSound = "MetalDrink", -- Custom sound played when drinking from the container.
CanEmpty = true, -- Whether the container can be emptied.
InputLocked = false, -- Whether the container prevents adding fluids.
HiddenAmount = false, -- Whether the fluid amount is hidden from the UI.

    -- Initial fluids that the container contains (optional).
    Fluids
    {
        fluid = Petrol:0.5,              -- Petrol at 50% of its density.
        fluid = Water:1.0                -- Water at 100% of its density.
    }

    -- Optional: Define whitelist or blacklist of fluids the container can hold.
    Whitelist
    {
        fluid = Petrol,                  -- Allow only petrol.
    }
    Blacklist
    {
        fluid = Water,                   -- Disallow water.
    }
}

These are all the options I found for fluidContainer

[sudden wing]

Yeah, I was thinking the same, just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong before updating 😅

[crystal canyon]

Got them from here
https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/scripting/entity/components/fluids/FluidContainerScript.html

[golden karma]

@crystal canyon there's is also a RainFactor attribute for FluidContainer

[crystal canyon]

ah yes, getRainCatcher

[blissful urchin]

Guys what this error means: "Object tried to call nil in clickPlay" ? I am strugling getting data from the WorldMap object

[dull moss]

You're my favorite person in this server

[crystal canyon]

Would something like this work?

[golden karma]

yowza, i'll have to chew on that code for a bit, i'll let you know if it works in 5min or so

[crystal canyon]

It has a lot of prints for debugging

[golden karma]

where can i find the log for these?

I'm not finding any prints in Zombiod/Logs/DebugLog.txt

[onyx valve]

Hi, happy holidays, is there a tutorial or any resource to know how to configure the xml files of an animation?

(and its not setting a new capacity for an existing zomboid item (i used Base.Pot) using the example code provided 😦

[signal ibex]

b42 javadocs???
Thank you 🎄

[crystal canyon]

Hmm, I need to check more then

[bronze yoke]

is this chatgpt? i don't think any of these setter functions exist lol

[golden karma]

@bronze yoke think I should make a bug report for B42 not giving proper modding access to the FluidContainer class?

[frank elbow]

There's a thread for modding-specific reports: https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1318920979581501502

That said I'm sure they wouldn't mind it as a bug report either

[crystal canyon]

I got them from your javadocs :v here https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/scripting/entity/components/fluids/FluidContainerScript.html

And seems I assumed that if I could get them i sould set them. no wonder I was having so many issues XD

yeah, everything is get, no sets... :/

https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/entity/components/fluids/FluidContainer.html

I hope they open access to it in the future. It has so much potential. also, i want more access to the ClimateManager!!

I have a great Idea being limited by it

[golden karma]

what do you want to do with that?

[umbral ingot]

What is the correct way to get Millis time? PZCalendar:getTimeInMillis() or GameTime():getTimeInMillis or GameTime():getServerTimeMills()?

[crystal canyon]

just custom tuning specifics for special scenarios/new climates/weather like for example radiation storms among others

[blissful urchin]

Hello everyone, how can I add additionnal behavior on a lua function ?

[golden karma]

radiation storms when pretty much all the power is out after a month normally anyway? 😛
personally I would love a way to mod the seasonal sunrise and sunset time. I learned that sunset in KY during July is actually like 20:30, not 23:00, and it has been pissing me off to no end.

[crystal canyon]

that would be great too. and when i think of radiation storms, im thinking more in the way how fallout 4 has them. Maybe integrate them with a mod like Hazardous zones where you need a geiger counter

[bronze yoke]

yeah, i've noticed the new lighting seems tuned for *way* shorter nights than before

[bronze yoke]

they probably all return the same thing, but i know the global function getTimeInMillis() is reliable

[finite scroll]

has anyone found a way to alter/disable the default b42 crosshair?

[golden karma]

It seems the moon phase and bleeding lights through windows isn't working properly with the new darker nights lighting though. Hope they still fix that

I switched from perfect dark to just dark and even with full moon most of the map is still fully black

[blissful urchin]

Hello I try to run this script but my proxy function seems to not run:

`print("Loaded overridden CharacterCreationProfession")

require("CharacterCreationProfession")

local original = CharacterCreationProfession.initWorld

CharacterCreationProfession.initWorld = function()
local o = original()
print('Do Stuff after')
return o;
end`

Can anyone help me please ?

[bronze yoke]

if this function is attached to an event (it sounds like it might be based on the name) you need to remove it from the event before modifying it, and then re-add it afterwards

[drifting ore]

Hello can we read the date inside the players.db ?

Is there a guide on how to create/update a mod on the workshop without using PZ ?

[blissful urchin]

Thanks a lot 🙂, working now

god why did they feel the need put bilinear filtering on every asset in the damn game 😭

in a pixel art game no less

now i gotta figure out how to de-filter my shit

[rustic garnet]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944344655

Took awhile but I managed to port it to b42 and backwards compatible with b41.
Did anyone have trouble with the filesystem on mac to updating the workshop throught the project zomboid game?

[bronze yoke]

textures in texture packs aren't filtered, loose textures are

[mystic vessel]

I don't know if there is already a tutorial to make your own workstation, but I can change some things in the files, but if I change the name of this entity the game breaks

[finite scroll]

thank you kind sir 🙏

[mystic vessel]

To build a new workstation, what folders/files do I need?

[frank elbow]

If you decompile & see what it's writing so you can reverse engineer it, yeah. I did that for b41 but I imagine b42 has some data added to the player so that reader won't be valid anymore

[worthy sparrow]

I'm trying to make one myself too, haven't figured out the UI stuff yet but everything else seems to work.

[mystic vessel]

What files do you need in the mod folder?

only this?

[worthy sparrow]

isn't that a database file? I believe you can read it using some SQLite or MySQL of some sort. I don't know which db it is.

[mystic vessel]

If I change the name of the base file it breaks the game, I don't know what I can or cannot change

[frank elbow]

They're talking ablout the BLOB data in that database file

[worthy sparrow]

Oh, okay. my bad

[frank elbow]

All good; I replied to the one above the message that made that clear

[worthy sparrow]

Don't edit the base game files, just add a mod that adds a workstation

[mystic vessel]

yeah, i'm doing that

The toaster is a reference, but I'm editing the one above

[worthy sparrow]

and you edit the contents and it breaks? then probably theres something wrong in it

Like a field is in a place where its not supposed to be

[mystic vessel]

i gonna edit like i was doing, and send a print here if you dont mind

[worthy sparrow]

Sure, go ahead

[mystic vessel]

Thank you :)

[worthy sparrow]

insert it using the code snipped

if you mean to send the file contents

[mystic vessel]

I'm doing right?

lol

[worthy sparrow]

Almost

[mystic vessel]

What was missing?

[pulsar pagoda]

component CraftBench
{
Recipes = Tester, Do you mean toaster?
}

[mystic vessel]

is that it's not supposed to be a toaster, but rather a new workstation

[worthy sparrow]

To be able to build that entity you need to have a craftRecipe inside the entity, if you declare a craftRecipe outside it (in module Base) then it will make a Item recipe

And without output

[mystic vessel]

but there is a craft recipe there, I took the toaster and edited it, I just didn't create a new one

[worthy sparrow]

Oh so you just duplicated the whole file.. I see

well you can't do that tho

[mystic vessel]

i can't?

What should I do then?

[worthy sparrow]

one sec i will send you the whole file

[burnt harness]

Anyone here have experience specifically with "Wolfs Extraction Quest"?

[worthy sparrow]

Welp it works for sure

[mystic vessel]

what you changed?

[mystic vessel]

oh

[worthy sparrow]

It will show in the outdoors building menu

[mystic vessel]

But it only appears in debug mode, right?

[worthy sparrow]

and you CAN'T use the same tile so the appliances_cooking_01_33 and appliances_cooking_01_32 needs to be different if you want a different workstation

thats why i put in

    face S
    {
        layer
        {
            row = crafted_05_8,
        }
    }

[mystic vessel]

Yes yes, it was just for testing

[burnt harness]

I was directed to come here and propose my question by a discord veteran, just asking around to see if anyone may be of slight assistance XD Does anyone here have any experience specifically with the mod Wolfs Extraction Quest by chance?

[worthy sparrow]

Works without debug

[mystic vessel]

Please, how do I hide it? because after all it is just a recipe

I have to make a recipe to craft the sprite, so I can hide it?

[worthy sparrow]

You mean to hide how to make a workstation in build menu?

or hide the recipe for MakeToastTEST?

[mystic vessel]

how i hide this recipe from the building menu?

[worthy sparrow]

remove the component CraftRecipe{ ... from entity

But idk if it will work, like you need that workstation to make the MakeToastTEST still..

[mystic vessel]

but then, how the toaster and coffeemachine works?

it works

whattt lol

It's the same file as yours and the same one I sent you, you changed it and now it works

[mystic vessel]

Thank you very much for your help, have a great Christmas

[worthy sparrow]

No problem, im trying to figure this out too :p. Great Christmas to you too.

[vague marsh]

Man im going crazy with this error bruh

Mannequin zone missing properties in media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/objects.lua at 13583,1299,0.

only to find out that the cause of it is from the .txt of items caused of improper formats, and the error is telling me its related to distribution but it isn't😆

[vague marsh]

tasty wood bread

[mystic vessel]

Bread with nails

[vague marsh]

lets make mod called "dung pudding"

best recipe rn

[worthy sparrow]

Dung mod where you character randomly takes a dump on the ground

with forced animation and character freeze

[worthy sparrow]

Nails in a toaster?

[mystic vessel]

Sounds great along with a cup of bleach

😋

[worthy sparrow]

Rat poison to enhance the flavour

[ancient grail]

there was a thing you add to the recipe script
but i forgot what cuz i used something else (made it only show up when you learn it from non existent skill book)

damn my reply isnt informative
cuz i forgot the syntax and only using mobile

but hopefuly gives you an idea and help you somehow

[ancient grail]

.

[mystic vessel]

Thank you i already figured out, but problably this is gonna help someone

[mystic vessel]

Now i'm trying to mess with the expanded crafting (i dont know even if i can do something with)

[sly gazelle]

i want to convert this mod to b42, it comes with this media\scripts\tissue.txt but i dont know what i need to change to make it compatible with 42

[worthy sparrow]

module Base
{ 
    item Tissue
    {
        DisplayCategory = FirstAid,
        Weight    =    0.1,
        Type    =    Drainable,
        UseWhileEquipped    =    FALSE,
        DisplayName    =    Tissue,
        Icon    =    Tissue,
        ReplaceOnDeplete    =    RippedSheetsDirty,
        Tooltip = Tooltip_tissue_tooltip,
        ConsolidateOption = ContextMenu_Merge,
        WorldStaticModel = Tissue,
    }

    craftRecipe Tissue
    {
        timedAction = RipClothing,
        Time = 2,
        Tags = InHandCraft;CanBeDoneInDark,
        inputs
        {
            item 1 [Base.RippedSheets],
        }
        outputs
        {
            item 1 Base.Tissue,
        }
    }
}

It will be visible under "Miscellaneous" tab

[sly gazelle]

thanks a lot

should i put this file under <mod folder>\media\scripts\tissue.txt, <mod folder>\common\media\scripts\tissue.txt or <mod folder>\42\media\scripts\tissue.txt?

strange, i tried to open zomboid with that mod on the Zomboid\mods folder (with the code adapted by @worthy sparrow ), oddly the whole mod list went bonkers. Dont know what i did wrong

[crystal canyon]

hello hows everyone doing?

[winter bolt]

third one

[sly gazelle]

thanks. also i solved the issue i described above putting mod.info and poster.png also under 42 folder. Thank you a lot

[vague marsh]

why the "Slight chance..." is always doubled

[worthy sparrow]

You should put them in the common folder or directly into mod folder

[mellow frigate]

That's because you got Unlucky trait..

[random finch]

@bronze yoke Apologies for the ping but I am trying to use Starlit. Would this be an example of how it would work for say WorldDictionary?
https://www.projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/world/WorldDictionary.html#getObjectNameFromID(byte)

    local objectHash = o:hashCode()
    local dictName = WorldDictionary.getObjectNameFromID(objectHash)
    print("dictName: " .. tostring(dictName))

[bronze yoke]

unfortunately i haven't found a way to call unexposed methods

what it can do is access non-static fields (shown at the top of javadocs) which isn't normally possible, by doing e.g. for an isoplayer field:```lua
local player = getPlayer()
print(player.accessLevel)

[random finch]

Yup, Ive been using it for that. Very useful.

[bronze yoke]

you can sometimes do crazy stuff with it even on unexposed classes (because the field getter does not care if the object is exposed or not) but i don't think WorldDictionary is actually meant to be instantiated so you wouldn't be able to get one, and it looks like it only has static members

[random finch]

Got yuh, makes a lot more sense now.

[blissful urchin]

Hey, someone can explain to me what are lot files ?

[blissful urchin]

Not possible via using a lua class that already define the class that expose the method and use it by inheriting from that lua class ?

[ashen mist]

question

can i port B42 weapon stats to B41 directly

or should i just take pics and manually transcribe numbers in myself using another B41 weapon as a base

[mint hawk]

B42 weapons will have tags that B41 didn't use - so it may cause errors.

[ashen mist]

oh yeah, i figured smth like that

i was thinking more about the order ig

[mint hawk]

I mean try it though. let us know how it goes.

[ashen mist]

cuz i can filter through and remove the added tags

[vague marsh]

does the order of the things matter?

As long as they're there in the general area

[opaque ocean]

hey! can anyone point me towards where like... the tools to scrap sprites/tiles, where to say what they scrap for, skill requirement to scrap them etc are defined?

[icy yarrow]

That took longer than I wish

[opaque ocean]

but you've done god's work.

[opaque ocean]

can you send the full debug log?

issue's usually a little higher up before the stack trace

[icy yarrow]

I still need to get the action duration portion working, but it does detect and converts to the appropriate one

[ashen mist]

b42 is a fucking nightmare to pull files from

its like pulling teeth

like what the fuck do you mean the sound files for a rake headed baseball bat just...aren't in the sound folder??

[opaque ocean]

yep, they're in the bank files

[ashen mist]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-monkey-worried-monkey-gif-5992280527583416561

[worthy sparrow]

Other than missing some inputs (I assume come from a Mod or custom) it works

[ashen mist]

fuck this im just gonna use like, spiked bat sounds for the rake/fork headed bats

i have no clue what a bank file even is

[opaque ocean]

can still reference the location the sound is used at in other places

[ashen mist]

see idk tho

because im trying to backport these to B41

so they don't have the sounds by default and i'm 90% sure adding every b42 sound will just be bloat when it's just for like two sounds

[opaque ocean]

that walkie talkie doesn't exist

[vague marsh]

oh wait

ohh its base

[opaque ocean]

you could also just remove the base. or radio. entirely

and it'll work

at least for recipes, the module. isn't neccesary in every case I've seen in years.

including for modded items

[vague marsh]

okay, thanks for the info ill try again

[worthy sparrow]

Im pretty sure you can extract the sounds from there

[bronze yoke]

most likely there will be absolutely no new sounds loose

they don't use loose sound files anymore

[opaque ocean]

but you can still use loose files if you want

[vague marsh]

still popping errors

[opaque ocean]

so no need to re-package things into banks

[vague marsh]

just like this

[bronze yoke]

you actually have to use them loose, there's no mod support for fmod

[vague marsh]

but when i remove this part of the code it works, so something is wrong here

[opaque ocean]

chestrig

[bronze yoke]

i mean you can trigger fmod sounds that are already there but you can't add new ones except by file replacement

[worthy sparrow]

Well it extracts them

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474838710

[opaque ocean]

so, hot tip with recipe crashes in debug log. you can just search "[base" in your case in that debug log, since you're using base., and it'll bring you straight to the issue if it's an incorrect item name.

otherwise, again, it's usually about 20-50 lines up from the bottom.

generally the debug log will spit out some other stuff... for recipe/item errors... before actually crashing or showing the stack trace.

but it'll tell you exactly what's wrong if it's syntax, item not existing etc... and if you forget a } then it'll ctd the game immediately.

[vague marsh]

okay, ill figure it out. Thanks!

[opaque ocean]

that said, again. anyone have experience with tilezed and custom sprites? I need to figure out how to make an object scrap for a 100% chance at a single rope and require a crowbar or a rope or something.

and not sure where to look to see where the tile scrap items, tools, etc are defined

[vague marsh]

i fixed it!!

item ChestRig
{
Weight = 0.4,
Type = Clothing,
DisplayName = Chest Holster,
IconsForTexture = ChestRig_Gray;ChestRig_Green;ChestRig_Tan,
BodyLocation = TorsoRig,
ClothingItem = ChestRig,
AttachmentsProvided = ChestRig,
WorldStaticModel = FannyPack_Ground,
}

i forgot to add this😆

[opaque ocean]

ah

yeah, missing output would do it

[worthy sparrow]

I have tilezed open rn and the only thing regarding scrapping is:

[opaque ocean]

it's basically worlddictionary getting angry... and you don't want to make worlddictionary angry

[opaque ocean]

yep. I wanna know if I can make new definitions for material... where to set the tool for ScrapUseTool, ScrapUseSkill, etc.

even if I have to insert the material later in a lua function

basically... now that I can just use oncreate functions to initialize the massive wood storage tile's container, make them beeg, make them have an acceptitemfunction... also means I can't make them moveable because I can't reliably re-apply that acceptitemfunction on placing them down in the world after pickup. so I gotta make them scrappable.

worst case I can just make them scrap for the wood definition, but yknow...

[ashen mist]

is there such a thing as swing sounds in B41

or is it just hit sounds

[opaque ocean]

yes

[ashen mist]

alright baller, i just havent been seeing any

[opaque ocean]

one moment while I go dig to see which one is yes

[ashen mist]

what im working with for example

[ashen mist]

(this isnt the b42 one just to be clear, its my wip attempt to backport it to 41)

[opaque ocean]

swingsound is definitely a thing

in b41

[ashen mist]

mm i see

can you do me a favor?

[opaque ocean]

it's why gun make boom when not hit nothing

[ashen mist]

since i'm stuck with b42 files and dont wanna go back and forth downloading versions

can you check for a bat swing sound for me?

[opaque ocean]

I am also on b42 rn and don't have a b41 media folder on my desktop rn

[ashen mist]

ah damn

nvm then

[tacit sparrow]

does anyone know why my mod won't apear in my mod list but will get uploaded to workshop?

i also subed to it and found it in my workshop files, but doesn't show in my game

but it does pass the "Make a workshop item" thing

[pulsar pagoda]

try adding a "common" folder in the location of "42" folder

here

[bronze yoke]

yeah, the game won't load a mod without a common folder, you need one even if there isn't anything in it

[tacit sparrow]

ok thanks, ill try that

that didn't work rip

@pulsar pagoda any other ideas

@bronze yoke

[pulsar pagoda]

did you put common inside of the 42 folder or in the same place as it?

also is it in your mod folder?

the mod

[tacit sparrow]

inside the 42 folder

[pulsar pagoda]

put it next to it

not inside

inside sammysprofessions

[tacit sparrow]

ok

[vague marsh]

helll yeah im done! this is a very big help, i can read logs and find the problem like flash now😆

[tacit sparrow]

ok I managed to get it to appear in my mod list and upload to workshop, but now I've found out that my mod doesn't work rip

not good

I might have to rewrite MainCreationMethords for my mod to work

[pulsar pagoda]

you gotta test it by using it from the mods folder first haha

[tacit sparrow]

yeah, I got it to work

well

yeah, I forgot workshop and mods has a different structure

When I realised i felt stupid

but my professions don't work

I thought if I name the value as what it is already it'll overwrite

[hybrid tiger]

Whats the proper way to go about updating/overwriting vanilla recipes? I want to modify the vanilla bread recipe by adding my modded item as one of the crafting options but both the vanilla and my version appear in craft menu
This is the code im using for updating recipe in my recipes.txt

  craftRecipe MakeBreadDough
    {
    timedAction = MixingBowl,
    Time = 50,
    NeedToBeLearn = True,
    category = Cooking,
    Tags = AnySurfaceCraft;Cooking,
    xpAward = Cooking:10,
    AutoLearn = Cooking:7,
    inputs
    {
      item 1 tags[MixingUtensil] mode:keep flags[MayDegradeLight],
      item 1 [Base.Bowl] mode:keep,
      item 1 [Base.RollingPin] mode:keep flags[MayDegrade],
      item 1 tags[Flour],
      item 2 [Base.Salt],
      item 1 [Base.Yeast;skittles.SourdoughStarterActive], /*adding in my Sourdough starter item as an option instead of yeast*/
      item 1 [*],
      -fluid 1.0 [Water],
    }
    outputs
    {
      item 1 Base.BreadDough,
    }
  }
}

[opaque ocean]

used to be uh... Override:true,

so, override = true?

[tacit sparrow]

would that be the case for my professions too?

[opaque ocean]

probably not

can someone help me figure out why this isn't working? adding in the property change to the function has bricked the entire function

[silk hollow]

Is there somewhere we can read about changes about zombies in details? Like how attributes for the zombies work in b42 etc?
I'm thinking of making a fresh new plugin for Random Zombie - Day and Night so I don't risk messing up whoever want to remain on b41 but I'd like to be able to get some info on how the zombies changed in this new build.

[crystal canyon]

did the methods to hook into containers change?

[bronze yoke]

not that i've seen

[pulsar pagoda]

hi guys, does anybody know where the game gives you visual scratches/lacerations/bites when you get damaged?

[pulsar pagoda]

anybody know how i can edit this file? its not from pz directory, but my mods

[heady ember]

Hey. I think you are looking for this file here: ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\clothing\clothing_zeddmg.txt
The player character wounds are after the zed wounds there

Finally ported all my mods to B42: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391325510

Hope it will be helpful to some. Was able to get bleach recipe working with new fluid system too fortunately

[pulsar pagoda]

yes, i found that, that just adds the "clothes" i want to know the script that gives you these clothes when you get bit in a certain body part

[orchid marten]

wrong channel my bad

[heady ember]

Oh. There is lua code in: media\lua\server\HealthSystem\HealthUpdate.lua
You can see there local part = healthUpdate.bodyDmg:getBodyPart(BodyPartType.FromIndex(ZombRand(BodyPartType.ToIndex(BodyPartType.MAX))));

[pulsar pagoda]

yes but i think that only applies to windows

i need the script when you get bit say in the arm and then get a bite mark in your arm that you can see

these wounds disappear when healed, i wanna add scars that dont go away

which i think would just need omiting part of the code

[heady ember]

Yeah, youre right. I understand what you mean - just cant find it unfortunately too

[pulsar pagoda]

thanks for trying tho, will keep looking

i found something in a .class file but idk how to edit it

i keep getting file is read only

[icy yarrow]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391344536

Not super happy with fact that I wasn't able to get TimeToMake work properly in it. kept throwing error so had to fiddle with time manually to make it seem okay

[bronze yoke]

class files are complied java code, what you're looking at is your ide automatically decompiling it so you can see inside

if you wanted to edit it you'd have to decompile it properly and set up a whole project to recompile it

bear in mind that there is no mod support for this

[pulsar pagoda]

right, what im looking for probably isnt there then

i want to add scars, i need the script that makes the game give you "clothes" in the form of scratches or bandages

so i can add scars clothes

[bronze yoke]

that probably does happen in java but ideally you can recreate it in lua

[heady ember]

Thank you for making this! Will definitely be using it. Devs brought us lot of cool stuff in B42, but there are some changes i wish werent made (although i understand what they want to achieve) - but its fine, cause modders will always bring more customization and alternative experience fortunately

[pulsar pagoda]

do you reccon it's this here?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, i believe so

[pulsar pagoda]

is there a guide or something into modifying these files or should i give up the idea as there wont be a way to mod it into the game?

[pulsar pagoda]

/recreating it in lua

[bronze yoke]

there probably is a guide for java mods but i don't have much experience with them as they require manual installation

[icy yarrow]

I do think that specifically is an oversight. They just left the b41 code in, but the updates to the crafting system broke the right click on sink for bandages

[bronze yoke]

it's unstable, b42 is very not done

[icy yarrow]

The specific function was still getting called, but is broke in the unstable

[pulsar pagoda]

welp i must be out of my depth here then

[red tiger]

Stop reminding me that I need to formally write one.

Meanie

[pulsar pagoda]

i could make a mod that adds these scar clothes but the player equip them themselves

[icy yarrow]

I'm hoping that they will implement what the comments say in the lua of getting the water sources being jacked straight into the crafting code. So that anything that needs water can just use a nearby sink

[bronze yoke]

basically nothing about sinks is working right now, i expect it's just not on their priority list yet

they don't even actually use the new fluids system

[icy yarrow]

Well this will tide people over until it's all integrated

[heady ember]

Maybe you should try to look at files of this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2960476396
It seems to have some sort of scar system, so maybe it will be helpful to you

[pulsar pagoda]

i did! sadly it either doesnt have what im looking for or i didnt understand it :(

thanks for the recomendation tho

[heady ember]

Oh, okay 🙂 Seems like youve done your research already. Well, i hope you will find some solution eventually 👍

[silk hollow]

Holy cow I was this close to fill a bug report. They disable it? WHY? 😄

[tranquil reef]

Is the corpse item still in the game, just not obtainable, or did they remove it entirely and separate corpses into some other category

[pulsar pagoda]

seems to be

[devout bison]

Hey guys, working on my first mod, it's just a sound replacement, but I'm having trouble on where to put it to test it out? I tried putting it in the mods section under programfiles/steam/steamapps/common/projectzomboid/mods as well as user/zomboid/mods... neither seem to pull it up when I launch the game and check the mods list

Is there a different spot I should stick it? (giggity)

[devout bison]

I figured it out! (I think)

[finite scroll]

i think it's just in some weird limbo state of being hidden, because they still act as containers but you can't actually see their item on the ground

[ashen mist]

ughhh i fucking HATE how they've organized files in 42

wheres the fucking weapon icon textures????

cant find SHIT on them, i just want to find like, 4 fucking bats!!!

[bronze yoke]

most icons are in the texture packs

[ashen mist]

like is it really that hard to just make a folder

[tranquil reef]

Hopefully I can make a mod that allows you to throw corpses into freezers or containers or something lol. I used to do that and save my dead characters' bodies

[finite scroll]

like albion said, they're in .PACK files

[ashen mist]

fucking piece of shit pack files

[finite scroll]

in texturepacks folder

[ashen mist]

first its bank, now its pack

what other esoteric file type are they gonna pull out next, fucking .skibidi??

[bronze yoke]

in b41 nearly everything was in UI2.pack, so i'd look there

[ashen mist]

i dont even know how to access these, fuck my chungus life 😭

[finite scroll]

you can view them with TileZed

[ashen mist]

all i wanna do is backport 4 weapons before christmas

i was hoping these icons would be one of the last three things

like i got the item ids, recipes, now i just need to add models, textures, and the model guide thing that says what texture is used n' crap

[polar gyro]

Is there any guides how to work with new recipes?
I interested in:

1. Removing existing recipes or ingredient part of it.
2. Adding ingredients in existing recipes.

[ashen mist]

how?

just downloaded it, cant open the file

[finite scroll]

in the tools thing at the top

.pack files

then file viewer

[ashen mist]

thanks so much

[finite scroll]

np

[hybrid tiger]

^ Also looking to do same thing, supposedly before b41 you would make a recipe and use override:true to replace, but seems like override doesnt work now from what Ive read and experienced (crash on startup)

[ashen mist]

is there a way to extract images from them?

or search for specific icons?

oh lmao, nvm theres a thing for that

[hybrid tiger]

ive also seen it work lua and getrecipe(recipe name) and making the vanilla hidden, but not sure if still valid for b42 with the recipe changes

[icy yarrow]

Should be getCraftRecipe now

[ashen mist]

okay i got
icons: added
weapon textures: added
the model thingamabober: added

i think

im ready

to test

[hybrid tiger]

okay getting a recipe with getcraftrecipe(name) but seems like setIsHidden isnt a function anymore for craftRecipe from what im seeing in javadocs

[opaque ocean]

where's beard when you need him to ask for an entire doc on new scripts

[winged cape]

This may be out of my league, but how do u get a modded map to load into the main game?

It keeps being a seperate map selection, not part of the main game

[ashen mist]

load mod
game stops responding every time i try making a solo world to test with

[crystal canyon]

as in a different worldspace such as Cadmen Conty or Project Russia?

[ashen mist]

wahalli i am cooked

[winged cape]

you ever heard of the The Walking Dead Prison?

[crystal canyon]

check your console, more than likely is a bad configured script

[ashen mist]

did a file validation

10 failed to validate from the swap to 42 back to 41

[crystal canyon]

ah yeah, you want to put it in same space as regular map? Youll need tilezed and find a suitable place to place it at the least, not sure what else you would need though

[winged cape]

Basically the version on the workshop is not the same one.

[ashen mist]

gonna try again once its done restoring itself

[winged cape]

the AIZ 3.0 Version has the V1.2 Version of the map (example of the old layout version below)

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/16405-the-walking-dead-prison-now-on-steam-v12-update-soon/

This version

I tried to remove every map besides the V1.2 from AIZ and then load it as part of the game, except it doesn't load the rest of the modded maps with it

it just keeps being like a seperate entire thing

[crystal canyon]

so you like this version of the map best?

[winged cape]

basically yes, but i can't find any standalone version of that.

the newer one is ENTIRELY different, and isn't the same as the show (newer one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2905092251 )

plus the whole entrence and layout are weird to me

[crystal canyon]

the link in this post doesnt work?

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ryts49bl2cy8lpmixfzla/TheWalkingDeadPrisonV1.2.rar?rlkey=k1qvjny7oekf7a20th2rt2ugy&e=1&dl=0

[winged cape]

No it just fails?

that doesn't even load (and is an entire seperate world, not part of the main game.)

and has a bunch of random files in it

i get the mod to appear on the mods list and everything, but it won't load like how you can combine maps on the map mod manager?

[crystal canyon]

lemme try on my laptop. gimme a min, I have 42 on my desktop

[winged cape]

Here is the console log for the Standalone save version (might help in fixing idk.)

[ashen mist]

its very quickly filling out

[crystal canyon]

yeah, you have something badly configured in a recipe or item script

[ashen mist]

fuck

im not sure what could be wrong then

[winged cape]

TWD V1.2 Should be under the list not a seperate thing, and should load the cell?

[ashen mist]

could these errors be any more useless?

what the FUCK is a local3

why cant it TELL me what the issue actually is

[crystal canyon]

are we loading the same file?

[winged cape]

wait what?

where did u put it?

[winged cape]

i meant in the computer's folders to get it to appear?

[silent zealot]

Probably the JAva API getting upset because the third parameter is null

[winged cape]

also does it load?

[crystal canyon]

get the folder from here and paste it in C:/yourusername/Zomboid/mods

[ashen mist]

okay i checked the recipes

[winged cape]

i did paste it

[ashen mist]

a lot of weird spaces

and the } that'd cap it off was a little off kilter

closed the gaps, readjusted that

[ashen mist]

gonna try again

[crystal canyon]

thats wrong, it will never load

[crystal canyon]

share your recipe

[winged cape]

? what

[ashen mist]

FUCK

[crystal canyon]

look at my images and look at the path

[ashen mist]

the stupid fucking game froze again

[winged cape]

oh u pulled the file from inside it

[crystal canyon]

it will keep doing that while the script is wrong

[ashen mist]

here, it's part of scrap weapons tweak

i've started replacing bats with B42 ones using the B41 stat system

lots of manual numbering

somw module is just so SOMW stuff is picked up by the recipes too

[crystal canyon]

are these recipes for B42?

[ashen mist]

b41

i'm backporting 4 bat variations

[crystal canyon]

gotcha

[ashen mist]

i'll probably extract them from this tweak and push an independant mod once i get this shit sorted

since i already have the work done, just gotta separate it from the scrap

feel free to hit me with a stick if its something innumerably tiny thats breaking everything

[ashen mist]

oh also they're at the bottom

[crystal canyon]

Prop1 : Hammer,,
NeedToBeLearn: true,
}

i spot a double comma here

[ashen mist]

four of them

got rid of them

[winged cape]

THANK YOU!

[ashen mist]

FUCK

still

broken

[winged cape]

it works!

[crystal canyon]

np

too bad it doesnt have map

[winged cape]

ya it doesn't idk how to make one

it doesn't show up in the map mod manager weirdly... but it is loaded

[pulsar pagoda]

anybody knows why changing basetextures in a clothing item's xml file makes this happen?

the texture name is good

i suspect its because of the base part of the line

[ashen mist]

so shits still fucked, notice anything else?

[pulsar pagoda]

what should the line be called to override the texture?

[ashen mist]

or like, anything you can imagine would be the problem?

[crystal canyon]

still looking

[winged cape]

Would you know how to update it or fix it?

Isn't there like idk tool.exe files to fix/make zomboid maps?

[crystal canyon]

not really, havent messed with mapping

[ashen mist]

noticed a missing comma in a recipe at the bottom

adding

still not enough to fix it

[crystal canyon]

hmmm

remove the recipes you added and paste them somewhere else

start adding them one by one

[opaque ocean]

aight, anyone have an actual decompiled b42? I need to go digging because I can't reproduce what feew showed with the same code.

[pulsar pagoda]

anybody know?

[crystal canyon]

I dont *(

😦

[crystal canyon]

i find it funny that SOMW is on my list of mods to bring over to b42 and youre adding b42 stuff to it :p

[opaque ocean]

@bronze yoke hey you around atm?

noticed your workshop lib mentioned being able to make class changes. can it change any public int/var in a class?

[ashen mist]

oh not to SOMW

see my tweaks are a little funky

[bronze yoke]

it's read only

[opaque ocean]

damn

[ashen mist]

so i had to make a tweak of SOMW so it wouldnt explode the scrap weapon tweak

[opaque ocean]

wait...

[crystal canyon]

ah

[bronze yoke]

you can read any instance field from any class as long as you can get an instance of it (even if that class is not exposed)

[ashen mist]

its also just a trick i learned from a friend

[bronze yoke]

including private fields but not inherited ones

[ashen mist]

i add the SOMW module, suddenly you can use all the stuff

bats, branches, that stuff

[ashen mist]

gave them their own file

[opaque ocean]

mm... I'm guessing not, but doesn't that mean you could theoretically just rewrite java code into lua to bypass it?

[ashen mist]

should i pull it out of the mod entirely and try starting a world again

or do i try it when its got its own separate file now

[opaque ocean]

why does it have two modules?

[ashen mist]

because it was the easiest way to let a tweak of scrap weapons use SOMW stuff

[bronze yoke]

does this even parse?

[ashen mist]

oh shit its working

my game didnt freeze on world gen

[opaque ocean]

there's no way

[bronze yoke]

that's not valid syntax 😅 if you wanted to use stuff from another module you'd import it

[opaque ocean]

nah man, that world dictionary has to either be making double entries, or having a meltdown

[ashen mist]

good news

it loaded in

bad news

cheat menu spawn menu wont open anymore

no matter, i'll just restart with -debug

[opaque ocean]

yep, world dictionary is ANGERY

if you want two modules, just make two different files

[ashen mist]

i just wanted it to be able to use weapons replaced by SOMW

that was a solution a buddy of mine cooked up and it worked

[crystal canyon]

i hadnt realized it had 2 modules, was too busy looking for missing commas lmao

[ashen mist]

alright so whats the smart person way to handle that

[opaque ocean]

problem is, while base. isn't necessary for recipe scripts...

it is neccesary for what gets appended to item names

make two files, put stuff that needs to be in SOMW into the SOMW module one, put other stuff in other file

or if you can get away with it, just import

[ashen mist]

look idk man, all i remember because this was months ago, recipes weren't working with somw

[bronze yoke]

oh my god it's probably creating module "SWeapons module SOMW"

[ashen mist]

buddy adds that

suddenly it works

[bronze yoke]

i'm pretty sure it allows spaces and all kinds of weird characters in identifiers

[opaque ocean]

I dont think it's working man... but I'm massively shocked it's not CTDing

cant even open the debug item list isn't working

[ashen mist]

no no

cheat menu

i dont always use debug

[opaque ocean]

yeah... but now try to put one into a recipe

or give them distributions

[pulsar pagoda]

anybody know why making a clothing item use a different basetexture in the xml file cause it to throw errors at me?

also the texture doesnt load

[opaque ocean]

so, image you showed earlier was definitely a texture loading, just not correctly. if it didn't load it'd probably be missing-texture-pink

or missing texture blue/white checker

looked more like it trying to wrap across the entire player model, and tiling

[bronze yoke]

white and red checkerboard is pz's missing texture

[pulsar pagoda]

well now its just transparent

[opaque ocean]

ah... we really should standardize that across industry already

[ashen mist]

oh lmao

it was working because now none of the recipes are being read

can't find them in game

[bronze yoke]

i'm gunning for pink and black

[pulsar pagoda]

should i change the guid if im making a scar clothing item?

i want the scratches to have the original texture

but my scar to have a different one

[bronze yoke]

every clothing item should have a unique guid

[ashen mist]

so how do i import

[opaque ocean]

im gonna say what I said to the last guy...

the person to ask about clothing/zombies/zombie-disto-tables/etc is generally gonna be Peach

[opaque ocean]

you already are importing base... just add a comma and import the other one

[ashen mist]

ohhh

[crystal canyon]

imports
{
Base,
SOMW,
}
rec

[ashen mist]

ig i can remove the SOMW module while im at it too

[opaque ocean]

the one you wanna import is the one from the other mod

[pulsar pagoda]

can anyone tell me whats wrong with this? everything seems to be in its place

the scar doesnt even show up in abdomen, just looking at the item causes errors

[opaque ocean]

is Wound a body location?

[bronze yoke]

where's your fileguidtable?

[pulsar pagoda]

i dont know what that is

[bronze yoke]

there should be a fileGuidTable.xml in media/ that lists clothing item files and their guids

look at the vanilla one for reference

[pulsar pagoda]

oooh that must be why it isnt working, thanks!

[opaque ocean]

meanwhile, im stuck back here trying to... actually

@bronze yoke were you the one with a decompiled b42 already?

[bronze yoke]

probably not the only one but yeah i have a decompile

[opaque ocean]

so...

this is what Feew shared earlier to get around setCapacity being limited

he clearly showed he could get a container well above the 100 limit... but whenever I try and set a container's capacity property over 100, it turns into 15

it doesn't even throw a error in logs, just says "that's over 100, it's now 15"

[bronze yoke]

but e.g. 99 works fine?

[opaque ocean]

100 even works fine

but not 999

yet Feew was able to set it, with that script, to 20k

specifically to 20001, but I tried both 10k and 9999, it's not about... i should prob go try non-repeating numbers but I feel that's not it

[ashen mist]

i think my shit might be fucked

[opaque ocean]

abandon the save, you fucked your worlddictionary probably. new save to test on time

[ashen mist]

not seeing any trace of the items, no recipes even after swapping it from a module to an import

aight willdo

[bronze yoke]

are you doing this to a freezer?

[opaque ocean]

my implimentation

and it is firing... because I have the container cap set to 1 in the tiles, so it IS changing, and it did do 100 when set to 100

[ashen mist]

no luck, wont show up at all

can't even find the recipes

[opaque ocean]

implimented at the bottom because I don't have enough working brain cells left to nest it in SetupPlacedTile

[opaque ocean]

file?

[ashen mist]

very bottom of here

[opaque ocean]

the fixers?

[ashen mist]

oh crap sorry

that was the item id

the bottom here

[opaque ocean]

and these are for b41?

[ashen mist]

yes

backporting B42 bats to B41

just adding them to this tweak to replace some scrap weapon bats in a private setting

if i can get it functional here, i might publish the bats on their own

[opaque ocean]

happen to have a debug log?

while im counting commas

[crystal canyon]

we already added some missing commas and removed double ones

I think the issue is that the items the recipe is calling for might not have the correct module

because he was loading 2 modiles

[opaque ocean]

well, if that's the case it'll tell me in the debug log. it's been a few years since I last messed with b41 though

[pulsar pagoda]

anybody know if i can organize these xml folders or if they have to be loose in clothing Items (ive tried forward and backward slashes)

[opaque ocean]

how do the vanilla filepaths work?

should be able to mimic folder structure and then mimic those paths

[pulsar pagoda]

you can see in the other items, they are loose inside the clothing items folder

no sub folders

[opaque ocean]

eyeballing this though, looks like it should be media/clothing/etc/scratches

[crystal canyon]

for example, the output here

recipe Make Sheet Metal Reinforced Baseball Bat
{
    BaseballBat,
    SmallSheetMetal=2,
    Screws=10,
    keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Screwdriver],
    keep MetalCutter,
    Result         : BoltBat,
    Sound         : BoltBatCrafting,
    Time         : 700,
    Category         : Weapons,
    AnimNode         : BuildLow,
    Prop1         : Hammer,
}

is not in the items

[bronze yoke]

i can't see where this limit might be applied to normal containers, but i can see it being applied to freezers

[pulsar pagoda]

oooh let me try that

[crystal canyon]

BoltBat is not defined in the module SWeapons_blunt so as an example this recipe will fail

[opaque ocean]

first off, the sound files don't exist

[ashen mist]

fuck

[ashen mist]

i forgot to change the fucking results 😭

as for the sounds: wtf

[coarse sinew]

Forwarding this from the other modding server #908459714248048730 message .
You need a java bypass for the new limits:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2719850086

[ashen mist]

i copied what some SOMW weapons used, thought it was vanilla

[bronze yoke]

oh, no, i see, it's done twice for freezers which was confusing me

[ashen mist]

like fuckinnn, metal pipes n' shit

like they were using sounds that natively exist in b41

[pulsar pagoda]

nope didnt work

[opaque ocean]

yeah... I'd just like to not have to do a java edit for this mod... once MP drops im more than happy... to tell the other guy to do the java edit to the server.

[bronze yoke]

there is a limit of 100 even using this method, i don't know how feew was able to bypass it

[crystal canyon]

magic!

[opaque ocean]

personally, I'd like the guy who suddenly got pissy about "nuh uh, containers don't go that big" to get off their high horse and revert it in a hotfix already

but yeah

[opaque ocean]

said he did it with lua too, specifically with that script

[bronze yoke]

i was only skimming earlier, but wasn't he doing it with an entity? maybe the rules are different there

[opaque ocean]

maybe I'm dumb and I need to put that lua file into client instead of shared for now?

[bronze yoke]

there are some pretty serious issues with big containers that i'm understanding of why they'd want to avoid it even being possible

[opaque ocean]

those are issues for us to deal with, we don't need them restricting it from peeps who know we're going to be looking at debug logs for days

[bronze yoke]

unfortunately just because a bug is only caused by mods doesn't mean they won't get an excessive amount of feedback about it - and bugs like these have really unclear causes that make it unlikely for people to actually blame mods, and go straight to the developers

if an object's save size gets too large, it just cannot be saved, and will disappear - the only way this ever actually happens is by having a huge amount of items in it since the limit is massive

the reason player inventory has a lower cap than anything else is it will literally delete your player if you carry too many items lol

[opaque ocean]

all it's causing is for me to about to have to go either wait for MP to finish this singular task for the server mod so I can just bypass it in java... or having to go bypass it by reducing item weight going in, increase it going out.

plus that makes no sense, because setting items to negative weight is still a thing.

[bronze yoke]

oh is it? they'd announced early in development that b42 wouldn't support that for whatever reason

[opaque ocean]

so people are still going to find ways to flood items into one place

[bronze yoke]

what i will say is that at least in b41, container capacity was entirely enforced by lua, and pretty bypassable

[opaque ocean]

b41 as a whole was a mess tbh... I STILL remember the uh... day 1 through like month 4 duplication glitch that was so easy to accidentally do that we couldn't even tell whether it was being done on purpose

because containers put on the ground would just save their contents, and then not save again when stuff was removed

[bronze yoke]

yeah, i'm sure a big reason for moving inventories to the server isn't just security but actually because it's nearly impossible to actually prevent even accidental item duplication if they don't

i'll never forget an incident where my oven (which, at the time, were bugged to be unable to be turned off) would keep repeatedly respawning an egg inside of it, forcing me to remove it every thirty seconds or let it burn down my home

[opaque ocean]

that whole item container not in player inv bug was the worst for us... running hydrocraft on d1 MP drop

waaaay before hydrocraft started trying to actually make isoObjects, and just had all it's stuff as normal items... with container space... and it all was intended to be on the ground

or all the guys who... honestly, correctly... thought that putting your stuff in backpacks and leaving it in the floor of your base was a great early-game storage solution

but yeah, no... even if they feel the need to hard-code container capacity limitations, the limitations make no sense. clearly TIS has been bought out by big-semitruck-mod, because they gave vehicles 1k and left isoObject containers at 100

[grizzled fable]

hi all, is RemoveResultItem still working with b42?

[opaque ocean]

hhhhh, idk, im just bitching at this point because im now realizing I'm actually going to have to write new lua just to detect whenever an item is entering or exiting the container, and only the containers I set, then reduce weight... and reversing it whenever they're pulled out

[opaque ocean]

dont even need a result in b42 recipe code

you can just leave output blank and have the recipe consume stuff to run an oncreate

[grizzled fable]

so i just keep the output blank?

[fluid current]

ye output{} works just fine

[grizzled fable]

ty 🙂

[opaque ocean]

which... good job TIS, been asking for that for years. gotta give em credit when it's due.

[fluid current]

im just wondering why wearing a watch either, remakes the entire item, or is deleting all the metadata from the item

still have to look into it but just why

[ashen mist]

im gonna quit for tonight

been fussing with this mod on and off since 5pm

basically all day

i can keep at it tomorrow

[crystal canyon]

sometimes a fresh head works better

[opaque ocean]

either way, I haven't been able to play the actual game for like 3 days because of this singular mod task... now have it literally just up to the point where all I gotta do is implement the container cap workaround, I'm gonna go just play the game for a bit while I wait for Feew to wake up I guess.

[crystal canyon]

yeah play!!!!

its a game we are supposed to mod for fun because we want to have more fun. It is not a job :p

[opaque ocean]

yeah... but we either have 3 years or 3 weeks (with no in-between) before they drop MP on us, so have that time to try and get stuff ready for the server

[crystal canyon]

wanna test a mod? lol

[opaque ocean]

would, but gotta continue playing unmodded a bit. only have like 40-something items between our ideas list and our fleshed-out modding tasks list. them's rookie numbers.

only 5 megaprojects that would take us 2 dudes probably 6+ months to make.

[crystal canyon]

damn thats a lot

[opaque ocean]

not enough, lmao. when i say ideas/tasks... can be as simple as like, I have one moved to tasks already that's literally just "rock in a sock craftable weapon"

[crystal canyon]

thats how this mod came out

Dynamic weather sandbox

[opaque ocean]

god you're right... cryo worlds are fun, but that's probably gonna be an event side-server for us

as an entire main server's map's gimmick, it's pretty limiting

[crystal canyon]

basically combines all of the cryogenic/pyroclastic weather settings into one. You can either choose a default preset or input your own values

[viral spire]

Okay, hear me out:

[crystal canyon]

@opaque ocean what about OnGiveXP? it is changed?

[opaque ocean]

seriously, the superb survivors guys must be so happy right now

[bronze yoke]

OnGiveXP no longer exists

[opaque ocean]

i dont wanna look at tis code anymore... but how can I say no to a plunger in here

one sec

[bronze yoke]

you can set xp rewards in the recipe script now

for any more complex logic you can just use OnCreate

[opaque ocean]

xpAward = Cooking:3,

[grizzled fable]

the number it's the same i use in the recipe codes?

[opaque ocean]

found in scripts/recipes/recipes_baking.txt

[grizzled fable]

the quantity i mean

[opaque ocean]

looks more like ongivexp turns into xpaward for recipes

[viral spire]

Because I was talking about A Quiet Place, not L4D. 😉

A L4D mod would kick ass though. Would be absolute hell to survive probably in PZ's circumstances, but fun either way.

[opaque ocean]

oh wait, yeah no that is what alb said... because ongivexp was just lua functions

[opaque ocean]

variant zombies is already on our ideas list tbh

[grizzled fable]

ok, ty guys

[opaque ocean]

just double check against other recipes when you're using xpAward... not every skill is named the same in-game and in-script

and I'm p sure those are case sensitive

[grizzled fable]

yeah yeah i know that 🙂

[viral spire]

You know what I always wished TIS added as an optional zombie speed? Joggers, like what you see in TWD seasons 1 and 2. The way they kinda weakly jog around while still being fast enough to catch up with you was scary.

I'd love to see that as a mod or feature, a great in-between from fast shamblers and sprinters.

So clearly the entire mapping community has no clue how to update the map ingame to be visible on the map itself... and Airee the creator of Ingamemap mod, is the only person who knows how.

[grizzled fable]

ty

[opaque ocean]

lotta modders were making in-game maps work... unless they changed how it works again

oh god please tell me they didn't change it

[crystal canyon]

i saw a guide somewhere

[winged cape]

idk... how to get mine to work at all jimothy... you can't request on Airee's mods... because there no comment section

even though it litterly says it in the description of the ingamemap mod

[opaque ocean]

thats the fun part about the steam workshop lord...

it downloads the mod to your computer

im not saying copy stuff completely, but you can go in and see how they're doing it

[winged cape]

... i didn't think about that... i could rip it apart... and attempt it?

[opaque ocean]

other mods and base-game scripts/lua/etc are your best learning resource until you start having to try to do stuff that hasn't been done before/recently.

[winged cape]

wait does this make it visible?

[crystal canyon]

yes

problem is that since that map is old, it doesnt have regions defined

doing this will make it work

[winged cape]

would it matter if it had a region

[crystal canyon]

yes

[opaque ocean]

actually I take it back... workshop mods are your friend for learning right up until you innevitably have to do distributions and either become full nerd or burn out completely on the massive mess that is distribution tables...

it doesn't matter how many distros you look at from other mods... inserting into the tables is the easy part... figuring out all the tables you want to insert into is the pain

there should be a way to do so

cant let so many old maps be lost to time

uh... pretty sure mines probably old enough XD

[opaque ocean]

obviously, from an intellectual property standpoint "no you can't do that" is right...
but I guarantee you, just off the fact there are so many updated old maps being maintained by different peeps who prob couldn't contact the original author... there are ways.

brother, i was right there like 3 days ago. idk how worlded works, but if you need tilezed help... I still don't know what I'm doing but I can point out a few of the buttons that do things.

there are plenty of youtube tutorials too

it's not that hard of a tool to learn

[winged cape]

bruh im like coming from unreal engine 5, and that crapstorm was terrible to... XD

theres never just a simple... click here and do this.

welcome to java.

my condolences

[winged cape]

wait... this is java?

[crystal canyon]

hahahaha

[opaque ocean]

zomboid is java.

[winged cape]

didn't know that they ran the same as minecraft...

[opaque ocean]

modding is generally interacting with it via lua and text scripts

[crystal canyon]

zomboid is computercraft running on minecraft

[opaque ocean]

so, more akin to roblox... but not really become roblox has become a disgusting abomination compared to how it once was

[winged cape]

oh god... NO NOT CC.

NOT AGAIn

[opaque ocean]

if you get the mindset of like mid-late 2000's roblox though, you'll be about there

LUA running on Java

[winged cape]

uhhh used roblox studio

and it usully was workspace.game.do something

this.... dis makes no sense ders to many buttons

[opaque ocean]

clearly n3ko knows what they're doing with worlded, but again... just hop on youtube and search "zomboid worlded" and you'll find no end to the amount of tutorials

[crystal canyon]

java is old and clunky but it even runs on your fridge

[opaque ocean]

also turn tools on in your steam library and download zomboid modding tools... it'll give you an already mostly configured tiles folder, tilezed and worlded.

[crystal canyon]

noooo i have no idea! I wish

[winged cape]

that would probably help

[crystal canyon]

I want to create my own tiny one-cell map

[grizzled fable]

what can i use as timedaction for a recipe to eat something? like
craftRecipe EatZedPieCarp
{
timedAction = Eating,
Time = 150,
Tags = InHandCraft;Health,
xpAward = Carpentry:12000,
OnCanPerform = Recipe.OnCanPerform.TestCarp,
inputs
{
item 1 [Base.ZedPieCarp],
}
outputs
{
}
}

[opaque ocean]

don't

[grizzled fable]

just remove?

[opaque ocean]

eating food is it's own system

what you're doing there is committing hydrocraft

[silent zealot]

I've found a few B42 mods throwing errors because "WardobeMan" and "WardobeWoman" don't work anymore but "WardobeGeneric" does.

[opaque ocean]

im p sure the nutrition values, how it's consumed, etc is all in the item script

[grizzled fable]

??

[opaque ocean]

oh wait, if you want it to give you 12000 carp xp though... might need it as a recipe idk
