[bronze yoke]

you'd have to upload it as a mod yeah

[kindred grove]

Ah yeah. Different issue appears. It didn't auto update but now tells me I don't have it installed. I'll have to publish my own version.

[crystal canyon]

i meant unlisted, not hidden

I did something similar when one of my favorite map mods disappeared, Stonehill Apartments

had to reupload it as unlisted so me and my brother could keep playing

[rare saddle]

Halp. I updated my mini-mod, signed up on Steam page to check how it works, but in the game in the mods menu it is not shown (there are generally only ~40 mods and there are already about 900 for b42 in Steam), I need to look for it in the search bar and only then I can see it and activate it. Is this the case with everyone?
Your mods are also not in the list after subscribing to Steam?

[crystal canyon]

they are usually up right away, unless you have links in the description then it might take a little bit while the content verification checks that links are not malicious

[icy yarrow]

Can take a long time if you put a private gitHub link...really trips the steam verification up

[crystal canyon]

I think I might have found a bug

[rare saddle]

No links or anything like that. In Steam it says checkout is finished + other users have already downloaded it. But I still don't see it in the game in the mods list, only if I use the search bar

I mean do you guys see your mods in this list after signing up in steam or do you have to use search too?

[crystal canyon]

i see mine

[icy yarrow]

I'm confused on what specifically you are asking

[crystal canyon]

seems they uploaded a mod to the WS, subscribed to it, but cant see it in their mod list

only when searching for the mod in the mod manager it is visible

[kindred grove]

Basically the same situation. I published it, it's public because I wanted my server to see it and be able to distribute it to my friends, however getting this error:

Workshop: item state DownloadPending -> Fail ID=3392902228

Not extremely descriptive.

Somewhere I can find more output?

[silent zealot]

Fun Fact: the new aiming system means if you target a zombie near your vehicle it's possible to hit the vehicle and set tire condition to zero, but not actually destroy the tire.

Less Fun Fact: North Muldraugh to South Muldraugh on foot at night is scary

actually that is kinda fun... gotta create those memorable zomboid moments somehow, and an easy loot run where nothing goes wrong is not very memorable.

[rare saddle]

Sorry, I'm using a translator.I'll try again: I signed up for a mod in steam, then I opened the game and I don't see it in the mod list if I scroll down. I have to use the search bar to find my mod and then enable it. Like I said, as far as I remember - in b41 you just have to subscribe to steam for it (mod) to work in the game

[crystal canyon]

you could try exiting steam completely and opening it again, or you could verify integrity of game files, it tends to download missing mods as well

[rare saddle]

yes, ty

[kindred grove]

I'll give it a shot for sanity. I can subscribe to the mod myself just fine but the server seems to have issue pulling it and loading it on server restart.

[silent zealot]

Does the mod work once you search for it and enable?

[rare saddle]

yes

[silent zealot]

And are there any non-english characters in the mod name... that sems to mess up the list of mods

[drifting ore]

hay so my map mod is crashing on game load up for b42.

[rare saddle]

no, all fine with that

[crystal canyon]

map mods dont work on 42 yet

[silent zealot]

Spawn location mods are working (technially maps, but not really) and I have seen B42 map mods on steam but not tried them

[drifting ore]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388468313&searchtext= 🤔

[crystal canyon]

interesting

I wonder what they edited

[drifting ore]

this isnt the only one ether.

[icy yarrow]

there is an unstable tool supposedly

[flat relic]

yes, on github

https://github.com/timbaker/pzworlded/tree/basements

mileage may vary

[icy yarrow]

All the ones I've seen updated have issues from what their author said

[restive lodge]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to add an overlay to a door frame as part of a mod I'm developing. This is my first time modding PZ, so I’m not sure if I’m on the right track.

Here’s the situation:

-I have a custom image, wuw_test_overlay.png, located in media/textures.
-My mod adds a security clearance system to doors. Players’ clearance levels are tied to their ID cards, so without the right card, they can’t enter.
-After right-clicking a door to set its clearance level, I use the door’s square coordinates to find door frame objects (WallType=doorframe), and I’m attempting to add a sprite overlay (a card scanner) near the door handle.

What I’ve done so far:

The overlay is added with setOverlaySprite, and when inspecting the tile, I can see:

[MAIN] walls_interior_house_03_11
[OVERLAY] wuw_test_overlay
[ATTACHED] overlay_grime_wall_01_27

However, hovering over [OVERLAY] wuw_test_overlay shows no image. It seems the sprite isn’t rendering, even though the name is correctly assigned.

[elfin stump]

Does anyone know how many IsoGridSquares are in an IsoChunk?

[restive lodge]

Here’s the relevant code I’m running:

local function attachOverlayToObject(object, overlayObjectName)
    if object then
        object:setOverlaySprite(overlayObjectName, 1, 1, 1, 1);
        object:transmitUpdatedSpriteToClients()
    else
        WUWUtilities.DebugLog("Object is nil. Cannot attach overlay.", 3)
    end
end

local function addOverlay(player, args)
    if not args or not args.x or not args.y or not args.z then
        WUWUtilities.DebugLog("Missing or invalid arguments for AddOverlay().")
        return
    end

    local sq = getCell():getGridSquare(args.x, args.y, args.z)
    if not sq then
        WUWUtilities.DebugLog("GridSquare is nil at coordinates: " ..
            tostring(args.x) .. ", " .. tostring(args.y) .. ", " .. tostring(args.z), 3)
        return
    end

    WUWUtilities.DebugLog("Searching for doorframe on GridSquare at: (" ..
        tostring(args.x) .. ", " .. tostring(args.y) .. ", " .. tostring(args.z) .. ")")

    for i = 0, sq:getObjects():size() - 1 do
        local object = sq:getObjects():get(i)

        if object then
            local objectProps = object:getProperties()
            local spriteProps = object:getSprite() and object:getSprite():getProperties()

            -- Check Object Properties
            if objectProps then
                if objectProps:Is("WallType") and objectProps:Val("WallType") == "doorframe" then
                    WUWUtilities.DebugLog("Found door frame on object properties at: (" ..
                        tostring(args.x) .. ", " .. tostring(args.y) .. ", " .. tostring(args.z) .. ")")
                    attachOverlayToObject(object, "wuw_test_overlay")
                    return
                end
            end
        end
    end

    WUWUtilities.DebugLog("No door frame found at coordinates: " ..
        tostring(args.x) .. ", " .. tostring(args.y) .. ", " .. tostring(args.z), 1)
end

Can overlays like this work directly with a standalone .png in media/textures, or do I need to define it in a tile pack or some other registration system?
Is there something I’m missing in how I’m applying the overlay, or how PZ handles tile overlays?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I've been stuck for a while now.

[flat relic]

it could also just be a plain port with just adjusting folders until stuff sorta works so no b42 features at all

[elfin stump]

They need to be a tile, I believe the tool is TileMapper in the PZ Modding Tools under your Tools section in steam

The tool is called "TileZed"

If I remember that is what I used to pack image information into a special type of compressed file, I forget the extension, a .pack or .pak file maybe?

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Adding_new_tiles

Start there for new tiles ^ @restive lodge

[restive lodge]

OK thanks ill check this out

[icy yarrow]

I need to learn the tiled tool. Seems so confusing to me

[elfin stump]

That page has a good breakdown of it, if I remember right one of the pains is making sure to use the right template and to be very good at keeping track of those layers 🙂

[icy yarrow]

Lack of jurassic park merchandise in July 1993 has always been disturbing

[rare saddle]

Okay(no). I'm unsubscribed from game list and from steam but i still can see my mod in list, idk how this list updates works but rn all fine. Anyway, thank you all)

[elfin stump]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lRCkMqPJ27GfW0fKg8ZN9CLWYJcm5zGI Tile Templates that you DO want to use 🙂

[kindred grove]

Anyone have an issue publishing a mod and the server failing to download it from the workshop?

[icy yarrow]

can you manually place it on your server?

[kindred grove]

I suppose I can try. Will it serve it to new players automatically?

under workshop/content/<workshopID> ?

[icy yarrow]

I have no idea

[velvet forge]

I would like to know how many times the number of zombies is greater, in the insane option

it would be 3x, 4 or 7 compared to vanilla

[crystal canyon]

hahahaha I definitely need to add a script to clear a radius around you for these spawns...

this is the remote cabin west of muldraugh

[eager imp]

for cycling do you think i should tie runner or fitness to bike stuff? like i get fitness but could runner also be tied into? like speed?

[crystal canyon]

I say fitness

[eager imp]

hrm yeah if i tie in runner it would also be less intuitive

[crystal canyon]

not all cyclists are good runners but most runners can be good cyclists personal opinion not backed by facts

[eager imp]

lmao

no worries

i think you are right

i might book mark the idea if i ever need it for some reason

[open drum]

heaya fellows

i have a question about obejct contruction method in pj

    local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)
    if not square then return nil end
    local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square, spriteName, objectName, false)
    square:AddTileObject(isoObject)
    return isoObject
end```

[bronze yoke]

```lua needs to be on its own line

[open drum]

local function newObject(x, y, z, spriteName, objectName)
    local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)
    if not square then return nil end
    local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square, spriteName, objectName, false)
    square:AddTileObject(isoObject)
    return isoObject
end```

thanks

anyways, this newobject function

i see they used like Generator.new() barbecue.ne()

etc

where is this class made in?

can I just do custom name .new() to create any type of obejcts?

[bronze yoke]

all java public constructors are exposed as Class.new()

[open drum]

i see

[bronze yoke]

you can see constructors on the javadocs but they'll be written there as new Class() because that's the java syntax

[open drum]

but where are those square, spritename, objectname parameters are handled in??

like (as a noob modder) .. i thought u need to inherite following functinons

from a parental document

so i thought to expect something like "IsoObject = ISObject(IsoObject) " to b declared somewhere

to make it work.. but i couldn't find it

maybe im asking really stupid question...

[bronze yoke]

they're implemented in the java side of the game, they aren't lua code

[open drum]

i see

so they are from some .class file?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[open drum]

then why don't i see things like

ISButton = ISPanel:derive("ISButton");

for things like

local function newBBQPropane(x, y, z)
    local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)
    local object = IsoBarbecue.new(getCell(), square, getSprite("appliances_cooking_01_37"))
    square:AddTileObject(object)
    return object
end```

like.. IsoBarbecue = IsoObject:derive("IsoBarbecue")

it does'nt matter what name goes before ".new" ??

they just automatically considered as object?

[bronze yoke]

IsoBarbecue is java so it's in a .class file, :derive() is for creating lua classes

[open drum]

when .new() function is called?

ah

then if I wanted to do like

local obejct = CustomNAME.new(cell,squre,getsprite)```

it will cause error?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[open drum]

i see

then which file should i study on to make it possible?

[worn mica]

is it currently possible to set Autolearn similar to Recipe_:addRequiredSkill(Perks.Cooking, RequiredLevel_)?

[open drum]

just realized u can just use lua local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square, spriteName, objectName, false)

[kindred grove]

Does modifying the Zomboid.ini require a restart?

[undone elbow]

Does anybody know how MainScreen.instance can be nil?

My code is simple:

if not MainScreen.instance.inGame then

But somehow it causes the error:

attempted index: inGame of non-table: null

[bronze yoke]

the main screen isn't loaded until OnMainMenuEnter or OnGameStart

[undone elbow]

local function KeyUp(keynum)
    if not MainScreen.instance.inGame then
        return
    end

I guess it's a mod incompatibility, but users can't catch the bad mod and STACK TRACE in log doesn't help too.

[restive lodge]

I ended up getting it to work 👍

[plucky junco]

hi, I've a question, before in the 41 the walls basic health were wrote in a lua file (i'm not able to code in lua, I just can play around a little) is it possible that now on the 42 are in a script?

i've found this

[finite radish]

was curious so I looked into this. here's the bits from the parser that handle it:

else if (var5.equalsIgnoreCase("AutoLearn")) {
    this.autoLearn = new ArrayList();
    String[] var16 = var6.split(";");

    for(int var19 = 0; var19 < var16.length; ++var19) {
       String[] var21 = var16[var19].split(":");
       PerkFactory.Perk var23 = PerkFactory.Perks.FromString(var21[0]);
       if (var23 == PerkFactory.Perks.MAX) {
          DebugLog.Recipe.warn("Unknown skill \"%s\" in recipe \"%s\"", var21[0], this.name);
       } else {
          int var25 = PZMath.tryParseInt(var21[1], 1);
          RequiredSkill var27 = new RequiredSkill(var23, var25);
          this.autoLearn.add(var27);
       }
    }
}

without a proper example, I have no idea why it's trying to split on a semicolon in Lua unless it's some sort of weird varargs implementation, so I got kinda lost there, but you can probably just recreate the functionality without all the parsing by doing this:

local reqSkill = RequiredSkill.new(Perks.Woodwork, 5)
myRecipe.autolearn:add(reqSkill)

as long as myRecipe is a CraftRecipe object
(edit: whoops, wrong java codeblock, but they're pmuch the same. fixed though)

hopefully that's at least enough of a hint to get you in the right direction, if that doesn't work.

[open drum]

    local square = getCell():getGridSquare(3433,10904, 0)
    if not square then return nil end
    local texture = getTexture("media/textures/Build_Cross.png")
    local isoObject = IsoObject.new(square,texture, "hello", false)
    square:AddTileObject(isoObject)
    return isoObject
end``` why would this cause error

[finite radish]

what does the error say?

[bronze yoke]

you're passing a texture as the second argument but it is expecting a string

[open drum]

ah,,

true

but "media/textures/Build_Cross.png" this wouldn't work

if i put it directly either right?

tried and confirmed it's not working

saying no implementation found

i guess it only takes tile name only...

[bronze yoke]

yeah it takes a tile name

[open drum]

i thought it would work because i was reading the old Object Tutorial files

-- adding blue cube
                local obj = IsoObject.new(cell, sq, Cubes.sprites.blue.sprite);```

so it would still work but i guess new versions are changed

[tacit pebble]

texture:getName() doesn't work too? I'm curious.
it should work if second arg is for texture name. idk if it's not for texture

[open drum]

haven't tried but i can try

well, it's not producing any error

but doesn't spawn anything on the square

so i guess it' needs to be set as sprite

[bronze yoke]

it needs to be the name of a tile, that constructor loads the object properties from that tile

[open drum]

i see

guess no simple, putting .png image file in a folder and make it work

do the trick...

has putting Tile files stay unchanged from build41?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[open drum]

gotcha

[pulsar pagoda]

anyone know why my character doesnt scream the sound i want?

[worn mica]

seems to throw out an error : attempted index: add of non-table: null

[finite radish]

i did edit it to change it from .add to :add but that was a bit later once I realized it. if that isn't the issue then not sure, I'm a little rusty atm

that class is exposed and the list is public, so it should work, but you might need to see if you can find any similar patterns.

[bronze yoke]

you can't access fields easily without mods

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3378285185 my library lets you access them with that syntax

[worn mica]

Okay, Big thanks for the help

[finite radish]

weird. i guess I forgot about that. what allows syntax like this to work, from vanilla?

local list = ArrayList.new();
  for index,item in ipairs(_items) do
    list:add(item);
end

is it an issue of it being passed via copy or something like that? e.g. list is now just a lua table more or less that contains the modified object, so you'd have to reassign it like javaObj.fooList = list?

[bronze yoke]

they just aren't exposed

there's some weird reflection api you can use to get fields instead but it's a nightmare

something like this```lua
local autolearn
local fields = getNumClassFields(myRecipe)
for i = 0, fields do
local field = getClassField(myRecipe, i)
if string.match(tostring(field), "some posix pattern idr") == "autolearn" then
autolearn = getClassFieldVal(myRecipe, i)
break
end
end

my library just lets you do myRecipe.autolearn like you would expect

and does some precaching and stuff to improve the performance a whole bunch over this monstrosity

[finite radish]

the class being exposed doesn't expose all the public members? or is it a matter of like... well, I was going to say ArrayList not being exposed, but the snippet I just posted kinda proves that wrong I guess.

[bronze yoke]

arraylist is exposed, it's just that the exposer just doesn't expose fields whatsoever

only public methods are exposed

[finite radish]

ah okay, that makes sense. so even public fields are basically treated as encapsulated

that blows honestly but I guess I get it, just weird since that's like the whole point of field protection keywords

[bronze yoke]

keep in mind that field access even through this is strictly read-only (but that's generally fine since we're usually just trying to reach objects anyway)

[finite radish]

does that mean "read only" as in, the collection itself is immutable (no add) or the members are read-only? kinda specific to collections I guess but still

(or both, which would be the strictest, I suppose)

[bronze yoke]

just that the field itself is read-only, you can't do myRecipe.autolearn = ArrayList.new()

but since the field here is an object, you can modify the object just fine

you just can't assign a new object in its place

[finite radish]

ah okay, that makes sense, just no reassignment. thanks for explaining all that

[grave nest]

what is a good workflow to work on mods ? Launch game, edit lua file, reload file from F11 menu, etc... ?

is there a way to remote debug the lua file from vscode for example ?

[bronze yoke]

main menu reloads/f11 reloads when they work for you

unfortunately because of the way the game uses lua remote debugging will probably never be possible

but there is an improved debugger expected eventually

[grave nest]

ok thanks. is there a way to import compiled lua modules too, or is that out of questoin

[bronze yoke]

no way

[grave nest]

ok

and I suppose nobody tried, for fun, to import some python interpreter into this ?

[bronze yoke]

bytecode compiled for other lua implementations (pz uses a weird niche one that, as far as i can tell, literally nothing else notable has used) wouldn't be compatible and functions related to bytecode dumping/loading have been blocked off anyway

[tulip cipher]

I would suggest making completely bug free code! /S (F11 reloading always took my ass forever)

[bronze yoke]

jab has a jython mod but i'm not sure what state it's in right now, especially given b42

[grave nest]

but wait, how do the core devs work then ? they launch a game and edit .lua files and hit reload ?

with only print statements for debugging ?

[bronze yoke]

as far as we can tell, probably yeah

[grave nest]

wtf

[bronze yoke]

afaik the community tools are probably more advanced than what they use 😅

[tulip cipher]

There's a good chance

[grave nest]

that's sad for them

and development times lol

[tulip cipher]

I remember using them a year ago and they were still well put together then

[grave nest]

using what ?

[tulip cipher]

The map editor and such

[grave nest]

ah ok

[tulip cipher]

If I remember correctly the indie stone have 1 guy doing the tools for the game

I regretfully don't remember their name would have to look at the credits again

[bronze yoke]

i was mostly referring to umbrella and the various bits of community documentation

[paper steeple]

What does the following mean?

attempted index: setVehicle of non-table: null

Many mods in Build 42 seem to cause an issue where vehicle dashboards don't load. The first mod I have encountered which caused this was More Traits, and the odd thing is it continued to happen even after disabling the mod and creating a new save. Currently, I am having this issue while attempting to port a Build 41 mod for my own use. I have found two files the larger error refers to: ISEnterVehicle.lua and ISVehicleDashboard.lua. The ISEnterVehicle.lua is being refered to at line 51, which reads triggerEvent("OnEnterVehicle", self.character) and the ISVehicleDashboard.lua is refered to at line 608, which reads getPlayerVehicleDashboard(character:getPlayerNum()):setVehicle(vehicle) and seems to be part of that "OnEnterVehicle" event that ISEnterVehicle.lua called for, as it is in the following:

function ISVehicleDashboard.onEnterVehicle(character)
    local vehicle = character:getVehicle()
    if instanceof(character, 'IsoPlayer') and character:isLocalPlayer() and vehicle:isDriver(character) then
        getPlayerVehicleDashboard(character:getPlayerNum()):setVehicle(vehicle)
    end
end

With this, it looks like, somehow, the mod is making the game unable to read the character.getVehicle(). The problematic line ends in "setVehicle(vehicle)" where, if I'm not mistaken, "(vehicle)" is a variable, which is defined in the second line of this function where the variable "vehicle" is set by caracter.getVehicle.

Now, I've gone through the files of this mod I'm porting, and I've not found any reference to any of these files or variables, so what gives? Is this just one of those really odd bugs in Build42 where the game just doesn't want to read this function correctly when ANY mods are installed?

[shrewd bolt]

You'll get that error if ANY mod has a recipe in the old format.

[blissful urchin]

Hello I am running on a weird issue for several hours where I cannot run a function from an event. I only have a small script that print something in response of an event but nothing happens

`function onCreatePlayerData()
print('Hello World')
end

Events.OnCreatePlayer.Add(onCreatePlayerData);`

My script is loaded fine btw

[kindred grove]

If anyone was using CDDAReading on B41 and found it to not be working since the author updated it for B42, I've essentially forked the previous build (with suggestive help of folks here) and got it working on both SP and MP:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392902228&tscn=1735277334

[full escarp]

is there a getter method for getting if the player is bitten or scratched?

[undone elbow]

Where do you check that something happens?
And why are you sure that your script is loaded?

[blissful urchin]

Is it possible to do unit tests on lua script M

[round notch]

getScratchTime() or getBiteTime() they are methods of bodypart so you will need to separate bodypart from bodyDamage(). You can do that by something like
local bodyDamage = player:getBodyDamage()
local bodyParts = bodyDamage:getBodyParts()
Then iterate through bodyParts to check stratch time

B42 update broke my steam workshop results haha

[full escarp]

i see i assume scratch time and bite time is the remaining time a body part is scratched or bitten ?

[round notch]

Kinda, though it probably doesn't translate in an exact time. It's more a damage indicator and how far a player need to heal by. Like scratch with time 100 will take longer to heal than a 5

And heal rate changes depending on what you treat it with I'm pretty sure

[full escarp]

okay so i see so 0 is no scratch and then anything else is the "severity"

[round notch]

I think it depends on how the damage was given. Pretty sure if a zombie bites you it hits you with like a bite time of 20

[full escarp]

i see thank you!

that should work for what i am doing

[round notch]

Deep wounds will not go below 3!

They will remain at 3 until you treat them

[green fiber]

does anyone know how the map and structures are stored in memory? what data structures are used for the chunks/heightmap etc..

[blissful urchin]

I think it stored under the lot files in /media/maps/Muldraugh, KY/map/ but the files are encrypted

[green fiber]

okay, I don't need to know their contents, but I see that there are lot header, lotpack and bin files in there, what do these store? this website only talks about the lotheader files: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/File_formats

[lime socket]

Hi everyone, hope you guys have had a good christmas!
ive been following a couple of guides for creating new tiles and mod making in the hopes of making a new place-able building and now B42 unstable has a nice new build menu im wondering if there are any resources on how add to my custom tiles to it?

for added context i have a tiledef and .pack file with the attributes i want from worldzed / tilezed but i dont know what the next steps would be as to add my new tiles as a building?

[bitter walrus]

Hello! I run PZ on a mac & notice two things that I want to try to make a mod to resolve, and was wondering how I should go about it (if even possible). First, the game incorrectly scales the resolution when opening up, easily fixed by changing resolution but I want to fix this if possible. The next thing is that since PZ doesn't ask for permission to use my mic, it doesn't show up as one of the applications in the list of apps that have permission to use it, so I can't use my mic in-game (wanted to use radios with friend, found out I couldn't!)

[lime socket]

Hello! although i don't know how to mod properly myself it might be worth submitting bug reports to The Indie Stone since these sound like more fundamental/core issues that may not be solvable with mods! (as far as i know) due to TIS only exposing things they wish to be modified by us end users

[crystal canyon]

yeah, these seem to be bugs that should be reported to TIS

[bitter walrus]

ah ok! Thank you both for your responses!

[calm zealot]

hello people i wanna make that the player can show the middle finger but the player model has one finger so the main question is how??

[bright fog]

Modify the model

[calm zealot]

true

[restive lodge]

anyone have a good resource for recipes?

[icy yarrow]

check the PZ recipes

[crystal canyon]

honestly, the base game scripts are a great resource

[restive lodge]

OK ill look there

[elfin stump]

Show that finger

You could maybe twist it 90 and tuck it into the palm?

Or see if you can use the thumb as the finger somehow could work possibly too

[umbral ingot]

Anyone know how to programmatically add a dynamic light to the game?

[lyric surge]

I can't seem to load this mod for some reason. It's just a simple moodle replacer. any ideas?

it's not on the workshop; just a stupid meme for me and my friends

[calm zealot]

im just thinking change shape of it

[umbral ingot]

You need the 42 folder, the structure is in pinned messages

[lyric surge]

that certainly helped but didn't seem to do the trick, mind if i DM you?

[umbral ingot]

sure

Ah! That makes sense as to why it seems to happen so "randomly"! Unfortunately, I have no idea what the format is or how to change it. Darn. I was really hoping to be able to use this mod in my Build 42!

[lyric locust]

how can I extract 3d moddels from the game?

for example a car

[pearl prism]

Is there a way to reduce the scale of a 3d item via script?

[ebon dagger]

Is it possible to write an in game note (like on a piece of paper) dynamically via code?

Like, add an item to an inventory that is a note with dynamically generated text in it?

[pearl prism]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\models_X\vehicles

[lyric locust]

thanks

[bronze yoke]

yes, in fact writing on notes is implemented in lua

[lyric locust]

it gave me this

[ebon dagger]

Ok, dope. That opens quite a bit to me. Off chance, do you know if text is READABLE by code? Like, can players write a note and the code pick it up (I can parse it if I can get it lol)

[bronze yoke]

yep!

[ebon dagger]

🤯

Awesome.

Now I have a direction hahahah

[pearl prism]

From what i remember, some files need to be imported using Blender addons such as the better fbx export

[lyric locust]

let me search it

I think it cost money 😭

wait

I think I found something

I found a way

this might be interesting

PZ use's triangles or quads?

[dull moss]

So uhm I'm a bit confused, can anyone tell me why this

local original_ISPetAnimal_perform = ISPetAnimal.perform
function ISPetAnimal:perform()
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:perform(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    original_ISPetAnimal_perform(self)
end

local original_ISPetAnimal_complete = ISPetAnimal.complete
function ISPetAnimal:complete()
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:complete(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    original_ISPetAnimal_complete(self)
end

gives 0 prints in console when petting?

[ebon dagger]

Does a more simple print work?
ie: print("test")

[dull moss]

complexity of print doesn't shouldn't matter, it would either print or error out if it would be print related

but i'll try

[compact rampart]

is it possible to make more variants of the same weapon?

[bronze yoke]

usually it indicates that function isn't even used

[dull moss]

ye but if you look at ISPetAnimal it kinda runs that code when you pet an animal

[ebon dagger]

True, just fastest thing to eliminate a potential issue and narrow down cause.

[dull moss]

judging from this at least

function ISPetAnimal:start()
    forceDropHeavyItems(self.character)
    self:setOverrideHandModels(nil, nil)
    self.character:setVariable("AnimalSizeX", 0.01);
    local range = self.animal:getData():getMaxSize() - self.animal:getData():getMinSize()
    local current = self.animal:getData():getSize() - self.animal:getData():getMinSize()
    if current <= 0.001 then
        current = 0.001;
    end
    self.character:setVariable("AnimalSizeY", current/range);

--    print("range", range, "current", current, "total", current/range)

    self.animal:getBehavior():setBlockMovement(true);
    self.character:setVariable("petanimal", true)
    --print("set animal pet! ", self.animal:getAnimalType())
    self.character:setVariable("animal", self.animal:getAnimalType())
    if self.animal:hasGeneticDisorder("dwarf") and not self.animal:isBaby() then
        self.character:setVariable("animal", self.animal:getBabyType())
    end
    self.animal:setVariable("idleAction", "petting")
    sendEvent(self.character, "PetAnimal")
end```

if you check context menu code it creates the ISPetAnimal

    if animal:canBePet() then
        menu:addSlice(getText("ContextMenu_PetAnimal"), getTexture("media/ui/AnimalActions_Pet.png"), AnimalContextMenu.onPetAnimal, animal, playerObj);
    end

where

AnimalContextMenu.onPetAnimal = function(animal, chr)
    animal:getBehavior():setBlockMovement(true);
    local vec = animal:getAttachmentWorldPos("head");
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISWalkToTimedActionF:new(chr, vec));
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISPetAnimal:new(chr, animal))
end

it creates timed action

[ebon dagger]

I might be wrong on my syntax, but do you need to return the old code?

return original_ISPetAnimal_perform(self, ...)

[dull moss]

oh

wait no

I think

[ebon dagger]

Its just how I have seen it done in the past.

[bronze yoke]

only if the original function returned something

[dull moss]

sometimes yes sometimes no

ye, that

well i guess complete should return then but that doesnt explain how timed action skips my perform decoration

[icy yarrow]

    originalToggleClothingWasher(context, worldobjects, playerId, object)
    -- Custom logic below
end```

[eager vessel]

I have a good idea for making a mod:
A mod that adds a new plumbing system, you can connect piping to a well and then hook the piping up to a electric pump that you have to find, kind of like generators but much more rare, then you con pipe the plumbing to sinks, baths, etc.

I shall make this as soon as I learn how to mod PZ

[dull moss]

my syntax should be correct, as an example, here's decorating another timedaction with same one:

local original_ISChopTreeAction_perform = ISChopTreeAction.perform;
---Overwriting ISChopTreeAction:perform() here to insert ETW logic catching player cutting down trees
---@diagnostic disable-next-line: duplicate-set-field
function ISChopTreeAction:perform()
    if ETWCommonLogicChecks.AxemanShouldExecute() then
        --- stuff here
    end
    original_ISChopTreeAction_perform(self);
end```

question is why pet won't pet

[icy yarrow]

You have the require at the top?

[dull moss]

No, nor should I be needing it, I believe? At least, I never have needed it and I decoreted a bunch of other fucntions

[bronze yoke]

requiring a vanilla file never does anything

[icy yarrow]

Hmm, I thought you had to if you were overwriting

[bronze yoke]

it's basically a mass hallucination induced by the community copying vanilla files

[dull moss]

[icy yarrow]

So you saying I can make my file 1 line shorter

[bronze yoke]

all require does is:

• run the file if it hasn't run already
• return whatever the file returned
  all vanilla files run before all mod files and none of them return anything so requiring them does nothing

[dull moss]

local original_ISPetAnimal_perform = ISPetAnimal.perform
function ISPetAnimal:perform()
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:perform(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    original_ISPetAnimal_perform(self)
end

local original_ISPetAnimal_complete = ISPetAnimal.complete
function ISPetAnimal:complete()
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:complete(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    return original_ISPetAnimal_complete(self)
end

local original_ISPetAnimal_start = ISPetAnimal.start
function ISPetAnimal:start()
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:start(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    original_ISPetAnimal_start(self)
end

Im only catching start.
I think this sendEvent(self.character, "PetAnimal") at the end of start just delagates petting to server

[bronze yoke]

but there is no server...

[dull moss]

thats exactly why i am confused

[bronze yoke]

how timed actions are going to work is a bit confusing right now but all the old functions are still running as usual

[dull moss]

in b41 didnt we still have server console output even in sp?

or am i trippin

as a separate file

[bronze yoke]

no

singleplayer does not have a separate server whatsoever

[dull moss]

then idk, zomboid is trolling or sth. how can it start timed action but not run perform

[bronze yoke]

also from what i can tell perform is client code

complete seems to be the server equivalent

[dull moss]

well full petting with this catches only start

[bronze yoke]

umm

[dull moss]

and i kinda need to decorate the end of petting not the start cuz I wanna do stuff when player completes the petting

[bronze yoke]

petting doesn't really look like a timed action to me

[dull moss]

I thought it is? ISPetAnimal = ISBaseTimedAction:derive("ISPetAnimal");

[bronze yoke]

well do it in-game

there's no timer bar

[dull moss]

hm

[bronze yoke]

even indefinite timed actions show that looping one

[dull moss]

that is true

maybe they did it as timed action so they can queue player walking?

idk

[bronze yoke]

maybe you can just do that actually

[dull moss]

oh, true, that explains no action bar

local original_ISPetAnimal_animEvent = ISPetAnimal.animEvent
function ISPetAnimal:animEvent(event, parameter)
    print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    if event == "pettingFinished" then
        print("ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(pettingFinished): caught, petting animal with ID "..self.animal:getAnimalID())
    end
    original_ISPetAnimal_animEvent(self)
end```

ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(pettingFinished): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(pettingFinished): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325

ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(pettingFinished): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(): caught, petting animal with ID 1325
ETW Logger | ISPetAnimal:animEvent(pettingFinished): caught, petting animal with ID 1325

holy moly

I pet 1 cow

why can't perform just work like a normal timed action, it has to be some weirdass stuff

sigh

guess I'll have to decorate animation event instead of perform like a normal person

[kindred grove]

If anyone was using CDDAReading on B41 and found it to not be working since the author updated it for B42, I've essentially forked the previous build (with suggestive help of folks here) and got it working on both SP and MP:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392902228&tscn=1735277334

[ebon dagger]

Ok, I'm stumped. I'm working on creating a list of item names that will be used later, and stored in the modData of a container. However, even though the logic seems right to me, when I print the length of the tables at the end, I'm getting 0. Am I adding key value pairs to the tables incorrectly?

function TKE.ProcessDeadDropIntake(container, items)
    local value = 0
    local sold = {}
    local rejected = {}
    for i = items:size() - 1, 0, -1 do
        local item = items:get(i)
        local itemType = item:getType()
        local itemName = item:getName()
        if TKE.SyndicateFactionWants[itemType] ~= nil then
            local val = TKE.SyndicateFactionWants[itemType]
            value = value + val
            if sold[itemName] ~= nil then
                print(string.format("Sold: Increment %s", itemName))
                sold[itemName] = sold[itemName] + 1
            else
                print(string.format("Sold: Add %s", itemName))
                sold[itemName] = 1
            end
        else
            if rejected[itemName] ~= nil then
                print(string.format("Rejected: Increment %s", itemName))
                rejected[itemName] = rejected[itemName] + 1
            else
                print(string.format("Rejected: Add %s", itemName))
                rejected[itemName] = 1
            end
        end
        container:getContainer():DoRemoveItem(item)
    end
    print(#sold)
    print(#rejected)
    container:getModData().DeadDropValue = value
    container:getModData().Sold = sold
    container:getModData().Rejected = rejected
    container:transmitModData()
end

Console returns the following (I put 1 44 round, 5 dollars in the container, dollars are the only thing on the Want list.)

> Rejected: Add .44 Magnum Round
> Sold: Add Money
> Sold: Increment Money
> Sold: Increment Money
> Sold: Increment Money
> Sold: Increment Money
> 0
> 0

[twilit fossil]

hey, have you by any chance figured out what itemcount means/does? I can't see any rhyme or reason for its use, but that might just be me being dumb

[dull moss]

fyi if you put lua at the start of multiblock code you'll get pretty formatting :)

[marble turret]

Nope, just copied it from the lighter refill recipe and it worked lol

[ebon dagger]

Ty, I spaced it

[twilit fossil]

haha alright. I'll try to figure it out, perhaps it's related to mode:destroy

[marble turret]

Seems to be used on many of the refill-style recipes

[dull moss]

isn't correct syntax to append to list in lua is table.insert(list, value)?

your direct asignment is incorrect if I'm not mistaken

it should be list[integer] = value

you have list[string], no?

[bronze yoke]

# only counts consecutive integer keys starting from 1

it doesn't check the number of pairs because lua doesn't really have that concept

#t basically just counts t[1], t[2], t[3] etc until it hits nil

if you had to count the actual number of pairs you'd do a pairs() loop through the table and just increment

[twilit fossil]

if I had to guess, maybe itemcount is supposed to be used in conjunction with drainable items, if you want that item to be used in its entirety instead of 1 use being subtracted

so item 1 [Base.BlowTorch] itemcount, means "use 1 entire blow torch item"
and item 1 [Base.BlowTorch], means "use 1 unit from the blow torch item"

[marble turret]

Ah, that makes sense. Would explain why the recipe was only failing for empty torches, as that would be the only case where there is no unit of fuel to use.

[ebon dagger]

I was attempting to create a key value pair like

sold = {
    ["Money"] = 5
}

rejected = {
    ["44Round"] = 1
}

[ebon dagger]

I'll try that.

[crystal canyon]

gonna make a mod that gives you money on every zombie kill :p

[devout bison]

Can't you just check their wallets?

[crystal canyon]

good question

[devout bison]

Trick question; Yes you can.

[ebon dagger]

That was it, I was printing the wrong thing lol.

[random finch]

Can anyone fathom a way to combine two Sprites/Tiles to make a Texture? For example, some moveables are multi place in which they have seperate parts for each square. I am using this texture for UI purposes.

[devout bison]

I feel like I'm overthinking this, but I'm about to try to add in an item to the loot pools and I'm a little overwhelmed. Do I need to dive into the procedural distribution or just the distribution to get the places for a new item to spawn?

[elfin stump]

The best way to get started is to look at an existing example, and then to search for the different spawn locations you can use. There are some other considerations to make it work well. What are you looking to do? Where you plan to spawn affects how to approach it.

[proven ibex]

You know what would be dope now with the basement feature to have like mining and we can gather resources like this

[devout bison]

It's essentially an MRE or a ration. I have the item working as intended and having it spawn in the world is the last step, at least until I tinker with it more.

[elfin stump]

Are you looking to have it spawn in various places like dead zombies as well as be found in containers?

I can give you an example file to get started with give me a moment.

[devout bison]

Thanks so much. I was just starting with containers, but corpses could carry a small chance, that'd be cool.

[elfin stump]

Its all doable and the system is solid once you know about a few kinks in it.

[devout bison]

Also, how different is the lua compared to 41? I ask because there are tons more examples for B41 but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot if those mods are too outdated

[bronze yoke]

if it's not a system that's been directly updated it's probably still quite similar

for example distirbutions haven't changed whatsoever (aside from some being renamed)

[elfin stump]

Depends on the systems you are using, recipes changed a lot, I think lighting may have changed, plus all the new stuff, lots of things are exactly the same too. But with B42 there are little changes too like variables for example in distribution they changed instances of "Sidetable" to "SideTable" so you can get bit by some of those.

I've been referencing old docs for sound and nothing has changed I can find so far, for example.

[bronze yoke]

yeah sound api's identical, that was one of the first things i looked at

[elfin stump]

Have you looked at any of the light stuff? From their examples it seems like there is a lot of new, but I haven't looked. I am curious if we can float a light around like a UFO yet 🤓

like light at XYZ would be so great 🙂

[devout bison]

Drones in B42 imminent

[crystal canyon]

then Ill add a coast to coast am radio station that

I think Art Bell started it around 1992

[icy yarrow]

Computer shut off suddenly and hadn't saved in an hour

[crystal canyon]

what software were you working with? N++ and VScode should have it stored

[elfin stump]

I usually tell my students that this is opportunity to do your work better than you did before. 🤓

[icy yarrow]

Yeah lol

[bronze yoke]

don't worry, sooner or later you'll encounter an event so traumatic you obsessively press ctrl-s after every minor change for the rest of your life

[elfin stump]

    --This will add an item to a generic zombie.
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "YOURMOD.YOURITEM") --This is generic male
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 100)--100 here is not percent chance, this translates to about %20-%40 chance depending on other circumstances. Verify in game with LootZed.
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "YOURMOD.YOURITEM") --This is generic female
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 100)
        
    --This will add an item to a named zombie outfit, find these in the horde manager in debugger or by searching in existing distribution code etc.
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["Outfit_PoliceState"].items, "YOURMOD.YOURITEM")
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["Outfit_PoliceState"].items, 100)
    
    --This will add an item to a named area - the rich peoples fridge
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list["FridgeRich"].items, "YOURMOD.YOURITEM");
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list["FridgeRich"].items, 100);
    
    ItemPickerJava.Parse()
end

Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(AdjustSandbox) --this event is added to adjust sandbox AFTER your mod loads, if you have sandbox settings to adjust spawn rates this is required.```

You can put that in a .lua file located in media/lua/server/Items

[icy yarrow]

I really should put these on my git like I do with my RW mods

[bronze yoke]

if you're doing it in OnInitGlobalModData you need to call ItemPickerJava.Parse() at the end or your changes won't actually be applied

[crystal canyon]

has any of you encountered issues with sounds? Like zombies breaking windows silently?

[elfin stump]

And one day the CTRL+S gets you too haha

[elfin stump]

Good catch I clipped it when making the example!

[devout bison]

Thanks for this!

[bronze yoke]

InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem is replaced by instanceItem() (global function)

[devout bison]

This has to go after the other code I'm putting in?

[elfin stump]

Of course, if you goto media\lua\server\Items\Distributions.lua that will have all the outfits you can use to spawn on zombies as well as some places.

[elfin stump]

I added it to the example you are good. This is the "ItemPickerJava.Parse()" near the end of the example.

There it is as a file if that is a bit easier.

[icy yarrow]

I noticed poking around that there is a ton of profession house spawns that are currently commented out

[devout bison]

I got it from the other example in N++, just looking at it and wishing I knew more about it all to understand.

[elfin stump]

I think I noticed an issue with my example file, let me reprovide it.

[elfin stump]

There you go, use this latest example the function being called was not named correctly on the prior example I gave you.

[devout bison]

I appreciate it!

What is the purpose of changing module Base to something else? Should I not do that if I'm using an already existing mesh?

[elfin stump]

Organization and compatibility. If you shove everything into Base you dont have that extra layer to keep your stuff unique. So if you add a RedCoat for example, and so does someone else you can have isues, if they are both Base.RedCoat.

You can import base if needed but you shouldn't need too. I think you can access Base items easy without the import for some reason, but I am not positive. You should be able to access the base mesh for your mod item without issue.

[devout bison]

Okay, thanks! I think I'm understanding more.

[elfin stump]

No problem, this is the central place to ask too so you are in the right direction.

[crystal canyon]

gonna use this as well, see if I fix some broken distributions from other mods. I hate seeing errors

[devout bison]

So if I change the module in my mod info will I need to put that "prefix." before any assets I add / anything else? As far as item stats, etc

[bronze yoke]

only outside of your module

[elfin stump]

Technicallly anything you do outside of your module I think, but you can safely include prefixes all the time too if you want to umbrella it.

[devout bison]

The leniency in the coding is both convenient and also something to get used to.

[elfin stump]

Part of my like the fact that if a B42 recipe is off by a bit, it kills the whole program, it is a damn good filter haha.

[bronze yoke]

it's so refreshing to get script errors that actually tell you what you did wrong

most other script types don't even tell you you did anything wrong

[elfin stump]

Yeah it is nice when we get that solid feedback. Sometimes it is a void and all we get is faith as we jump haha.

[devout bison]

How come when I had the model scaled up unreasonably huge it's visible when eating it, but when I scale it down to a realistic size, the item doesn't show up in hands while eating it? Do I have to do something special with the static model?

[left hinge]

Hello, good afternoon everyone. I would like to start creating my first mod in pz, but I don't know anything about the LUA language. I know how to program in python, java and C++, but I have never worked with LUA. I understand that it is similar to javascript, so I would like to know if you can help me by guiding me on where I should start. The mod I want to build is not just a skin, I would like to start modifying traits and professions.

[orchid bane]

Hello, is there a mod that can replace the ost for multiplayer? I know true music but it only adds songs as cassetes to my knowledge. Thank you

[bright fog]

Pretty sure most mods that replace the OST need to be manually installed

And you can't do much about it

[orchid bane]

So i have to ask my friends to manually download the mods too?

[random finch]

Bro, what are these robot sounds for in the bank files lol

[bronze yoke]

maybe just a developer having some fun with npc testing?

[random finch]

Must be lol. My only throughts. Was the case the last time I found a robot in a game where it didnt belong.

Yesterday, I found an unused pocket icon. Did this game ever use pockets as a containers?

[bronze yoke]

it's something they've wanted to do for a bit

[random finch]

Doesnt seem like it would be too hard to implement

[bronze yoke]

they posted a concept image of flattening all containers into one inventory and having stuff like clothing give you your basic inventory space

[random finch]

Interesting

[ionic vale]

Thank you so much for this. I was struggling until I saw this and finally got my mod to load properly in 42.

[random finch]

Anyone seen a guide on how to create sound events? Perhaps another mod that does this. Instead of assigning one sound with file, events seem to allow a variation of sounds for a given sound script. Would it require FMOD Studio?

[bronze yoke]

it would, and there's no modding suport for it (replacing vanilla files with manual file replacement only)

[random finch]

What a shame. Bank files can be huge as well. I suppose there are always workarounds if someone were insistent on doing it.

[bright fog]

By modifying bank files yourself

You can replace sounds

Idk about adding any tho

But yeah it would be great to be able to utilize FMOD

[bronze yoke]

if we wanted to get serious about it we'd need lua api for it too

[bright fog]

Yea

[restive lodge]

module WUW_ID_Me
{
    item MOV_CardScanner
    {
        DisplayCategory = Electronics,
        Type = Moveable,
        Icon = wuw_id_cardscanner_icon,
        Weight = 5.0,
        DisplayName = ID Card Scanner,
        WorldObjectSprite = location_community_school_01_32
    }
}

Does anyone know why I cant place this item. I even tried using the wall clock sprite but nothing shows up when i try to place

[ionic vale]

Missing a comma maybe after -> WorldObjectSprite = location_community_school_01_32

[bright fog]

no

No need for a comma there

[bright fog]

I guess you're not importing base ?

[bronze yoke]

i'd put a comma

not sure about the new script parser but in b41 basically every script type except items bugged out without closing commas

[untold sun]

[crystal canyon]

I need help with python. Trying to make a recipe updater.

only problem i'm having is that it throws double commas sometimes or comma after ingredients like [Base.Plank,],

[silent zealot]

Before I glue a prefix to doLiteratureMenu() and hack together something that works, is there a proper way to add a rightclick context menu option to a new item?

[bronze yoke]

add a listener to OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu

[silent zealot]

local original_doLiteratureMenu = ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doLiteratureMenu
-- From media\lua\client\ISUI\ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua

function ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doLiteratureMenu(context, items, player)
    print("##### This is where my code would go, if I had any")
    original_doLiteratureMenu(context, items, player)
    
end

will work, but there may be a much better way.

[crystal canyon]

I also found errors on vanilla recipes. Strangely the game doesnt complain about them

[ebon dagger]

@bronze yoke thank you for your help earlier, I got my in game notes working.

[silent zealot]

Hopefully a a simple question: how do I convert from playerNum to get a player object?

local doDIYContextMenu = function(playerNum, context, items)

I'm sure I've seen something really simple like Global.getplayer(x) or Player[x] but now I can't find any of those.

this might be it: local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(playerNum)

[bronze yoke]

that's right

[ebon dagger]

Ok yall,
Anyone able to point me in a good direction (PZ code, or a mod, something like that)?
I'm looking for a way to display a png on screen similar to the way that the brochures and fliers work. I looked into the "how to add a flier" walk through, but I'm not sure thats what I need, I don't want to add the items into the randomly spawning lists, as the items are dropped off of special zeds or spawned into the world by player actions.
The eventual goal is right click > Context Option > Show Image
I've never worked with the UI before, but I'll learn.

[ebon dagger]

Can confirm. Used that a couple times today.

[umbral raptor]

Looking for Coders for a Project Zomboid Radio Mod

I’m working on a mod for Project Zomboid and need help with coding! The idea is an infinite government-run radio station, originally run by FEMA during the Knox Event. It broadcasts pre-recorded educational tapes by Dr. Evelyn Grant, a high-ranking FEMA official, teaching survivors essential skills like carpentry, metalworking, fishing, and more. Over time, the station is maintained by two immune scientists broadcasting from a bunker.

The station also features propaganda, bulletins, and survival content designed to help survivors rebuild civilization. I’ll handle all the writing; I just need coders to make it happen. Let me know if you’re interested!

[silent zealot]

I've got a few bits of answer, since I'm working on adding a context menu to something

local doDIYContextMenu = function(playerNum, context, items)
    print("##### doDIYContextMenu()")
    local primaryItem = items[1]
    if not instanceof(primaryItem, "InventoryItem") then
        primaryItem = primaryItem.items[1]
    end

    if primaryItem:hasTag("DIYSchematic") then
        print("##### It's a DIY Scematic")
        local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(playerNum)
        readOption = context:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_ReadDIY"), items, DIYonLiteratureItems, playerObj);
    end
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(doDIYContextMenu)

That will add a function to the context menu generator that will see if the item matches if primaryItem:hasTag("DIYSchematic") and if so, it will add a context menu entry that calls the function DIYonLiteratureItems()

[ebon dagger]

Sent you a DM.

[silent zealot]

I've messed up passing playernumber vs. player object somewhere in my code, but at least my code is getting called.

Then you steal the code for displaying the fliers and change as needed.

[ebon dagger]

I appreciate the share! I do already have the items making context menus. Its the "show the picture part" that I have no clue where to go 😄

[bronze yoke]

player numbers are a frustrating concept to be honest

[silent zealot]

Ideally, you can make a new type of object and then your code says "if objecttype=NewThing (call the existing display flier code)

[bronze yoke]

i have no idea why random parts of the code prefer them (and never specify that they do)

[silent zealot]

I miss strictly typed languages.

[bronze yoke]

me too 😭

[silent zealot]

In those you know damn well what is an int and what is a ZomboidPlayer

But before doing that, check the existing procedural distribution tables - if they list each existing type of flier explicitly for the vanilla fliers then you can just make more fliers and add them where you want

[full escarp]

where is usually client sided print statements located? in the output log console in game? or is there a log file? i heard it should be console.txt but i can't find it

[silent zealot]

both console.txt and the lua debug window

[full escarp]

where should be console.txt be located? in the game installation folder?

[bronze yoke]

[bronze yoke]

it should yeah

[full escarp]

Neither in log nor the console.txt is anything

[bronze yoke]

is the file loading logged? there should be a line in console.txt for every single lua file loaded

it seems like it loads my mod but not the lua file

its b41 and my lua file is inside media -> lua

oh i suppose im missing the folder for which device, client, server or shared?

[crystal canyon]

yeah, file cant just be in lua alone

[full escarp]

yeah it worked now, thanks!

[devout bison]

So I'm currently working on getting my new item to spawn on zeds, I go in and kill some, check LootZed and the item has a 60% chance to spawn on them but in the space for name it doesn't have the icon or the name like all other items... Where did I go wrong?

And for a 60% drop rate, there have been none dropping.

The item does show up in the itemlist and I can give it to myself, and it appears normal there with its icon.

[elfin stump]

Usually it will not have the icon in lootzed or in the item viewer but it should still work fine in player inventories. What do you mean the name is missing also, is it just completely blank?

[devout bison]

Yes, where other items have their icon followed by their display names, my item has neither.

I tinkered a bit with the lua and tested more. Now some zeds opened up in Lootzed have the Name in the space for name (I'm okay if the icon doesn't show up there.)

[elfin stump]

It could have been the item being added to the table was not matched to the item so it was adding an item that did not exist, so then blank, but since it still added it, it still had the chance, but a chance for nothing.

[devout bison]

I think you're right. I fixed a capitalization error and now they're starting to spawn. Although some zeds when opened up in lootzed still have that happening. I wonder if it's because they're not 'generic' zeds

[elfin stump]

Did you make sure it is correct on both male and female?

[devout bison]

🤦‍♂️

[calm zealot]

ill try

[full escarp]

im used to strongly typed languages so lua is a bit weird for me

how do i correctly process a parameter which came from a event? for example
OnPlayerGetDamage
i get the Character which is the IsoGameCharacter
but since my parameter of my function isn't defined its just "any" and so calling methods on it doesn't seem to work?

[elfin stump]

https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/PZEventDoc/blob/develop/docs/Events.md

From there I see OnPlayerGetDamage passes 3 variables that is (character, damageType, damage), when you setup your function make sure to have all three parameters on there. Then you should be able to call functions from character.

[full escarp]

yeah okay it seems to work, but VSCode doesn't show it properly

[elfin stump]

No idea on that I do all my PZ work in Notepad++ and just use visual studio for searching the source. I don't use VSCode in this case so can't help you there.

[umbral ingot]

in lua you can pull the event params out using "..." syntax and it should return a lua table with the java objects
`Events.OnSpawnVehicleEnd.Add(function(...)
print("vehicle spawn ended")
local vehicle = ...
print("Direct vehicle access: ", vehicle)
initializeDomeLightData(vehicle)
-- check mod data content
local modData = vehicle:getModData()
printTable(modData)

-- fetch parts and create the lights
local parts = {"DynamicImposter/DomeLightFront", "DynamicImposter/DomeLightLeft", "DynamicImposter/DomeLightRight"}
for _, partId in ipairs(parts) do
    local part = vehicle:getPartById(partId)
    if part then
        Vehicles.Create.DIDomeLight(vehicle, part)
    else
        print("VehicleSpawnEnd-: no part found")
    end
end

end)`

[devout bison]

Odd thing: while testing I killed a zed who dropped my item, although upon checking Lootzed, there is no percentage for that particular zed to drop it. The item isn't even listed in lootzed for her. I'm unsure what to make of this one.

[elfin stump]

That zombie has an outfit and is not generic.

[devout bison]

Correct

[grizzled fable]

Hello, any advise on how i can solve this problem?
ReplaceOnUse = Base.WaterBottleEmpty, this is an item definition line, since WaterBottleEmpty dosen't exist anymore, how i can give the player an empty bottle after consuming this drink?

[elfin stump]

Do you have that outfitted zombie in your loot table?

[devout bison]

Thing is though, I haven't added in the outfitted zeds in the table yet

[elfin stump]

So the male and female only apply to zombies that do not have an "outfit" which you can think of as a profession in most cases, if they have an outfit, they will spawn instead from that loot table. For example police are Police PoliceState (there are some others I forget them, a riot guy I think).

[devout bison]

Yeah this one was OfficeWorkerSkirt

[elfin stump]

There is another layer to the generics also, I think you can use Generic01 through Generic05 as the outfit name as antoher way to spawn on Generics but the male female ones get you the most.

Yeah so unless you had given the outfit OfficeWorkerSkirt the item in loot table it wouldn't show up, keep in mind to do that isa different format to add them it is in that example file from before though.

I think it ends up being formatted as Outfit_OutfitName

[devout bison]

Right, I'm confused because she did carry the item, I'm bewildered as to how.

It's not in LootZed for her either but somehow she died and has the item

[elfin stump]

Hmm that is odd. Trying to think of potential reasons for that... Could be that male and female apply to her somehow, but if loot zed showed it wasn't there and it was, that is odd. The only time I have seen that happen is if you are changing sandbox settings without a restart of the game, sometimes lootzed will reflect the old info not the new. That can also be the case if your ItemPicker call is in the wrong place and sandbox isn't updating.

If you are using anything from sandbox and you don't have the itempicker call it can cause that because it will keep using the original entries but lootzed will look at the new ones. Not sure how else could cause it, feel free to share your file if you like.

[devout bison]

the lua?

[elfin stump]

yeah

[devout bison]

hm how do I put code in here

[elfin stump]

You can just hit the + and upload the file it will bring it in as an expandable block

[elfin stump]

Looks like you don't have any sandbox calls in there, it shouldn't have an issue here I don't think. You may want to kill some more zeds and see if that repeats

you can use horde manager to spawn a bunch of the one you saw it on

it could be that you found a borked outfit, otherwise I am not sure.

[devout bison]

Where is horde manager?

[elfin stump]

Do you have your game in debug mode?

[devout bison]

I do

[elfin stump]

You should be able to do a right click, and then I think the menu is Debug > Zombies > Horde Manager from the context

it may be slightly off I am not lookin at it now, but its in there

You can spawn OfficeWorkerSkirt and see what you get from that one in LootZed, then also check another outfit that is named and see if any of your items show up.

[devout bison]

Confirming that OfficeWorkerSkirt is dropping items not in her LootZed consistently

I'll try some more.

[elfin stump]

My guess is that outfit is funky. Interested to know what you find.

Maybe she isn't defined correctly and it is defaulting to the generic, does she spawn anything that is in her lootzed?

[devout bison]

She was, it was all standard stuff in there and just had a ration on her.

Confirming that regular "Police" is also dropping em

4/10

[elfin stump]

Hmm I will have to take a peak at this, my understanding was that ["all"]["inventoryfemale/inventorymale"] would apply to zombies that are not outfitted only but it could be that "all" includes all outfits now. I will need to take a closer look, are you in B41 or B42?

[devout bison]

b42

[elfin stump]

Okay it is possible they have changed something there, I am curious about it and will dig in later, but let me see I can give you lines to change.

[devout bison]

I mean it's doing what I wanted it to, I just was going to dial it way down so the items are rare before release. Also still have to go through the procedural distribution but that's a task for after some sleep

In fact this saves me from finding every outfit name and putting those in lol

[elfin stump]

Yeah it could be good to have one that adds to everything, this is how you would do it if you only wanted to spawn on the five generic outfits, I believe that is how to call them but that is from memory.

[devout bison]

Gonna tuck this away for reference... Thank you v much

I was considering making em more prevalent in service workers rather than generic zeds, which this will definitely help me do, but first priority is getting it ready to ship. I can tinker with those specifics when it's time to refine

Yeah, did another 10 zeds for kicks, Firemen this time. Looks like it's across the board.

[round notch]

You don't have the "require('NPCs/MainCreationMethods')" which you need if your calling a traitfactory method

[spiral pike]

what

[round notch]

You need to put

require('NPCs/MainCreationMethods')

[spiral pike]

like so?

thank you let me try loading

[round notch]

If you have that it'll probably tell you what else is wrong with your code in the console log

well it doesnt make sense either way because

if i completely remove the entirety of the occupationtest part

it works

i am befuddled

[round notch]

I am befuddled too, your trait gives you aiming and reloading and that's not even in the script 😂

i ripped the code from somewhere else

here's a bit different code structure

you can unpack createTrait func into addTraits, I got it out cuz it was easier for me

it returns TraitFactory.addTrait(name, getText("UI_trait_" .. name), cost, getText("UI_trait_" .. name .. "Desc"), isProfExclusive, isDisabled);

[round notch]

Do you not need the require for maincreationmethods? Has my life been a lie?

[dull moss]

so this

        local LowProfile = createTrait("LowProfile", 3);
        LowProfile:addXPBoost(Perks.Sneak, 1);
        table.insert(newTraits, LowProfile);

is equal to this

        local LowProfile = TraitFactory.addTrait("LowProfile", getText("UI_trait_LowProfile"), 3, getText("UI_trait_LowProfileDesc"), false, false);
        LowProfile:addXPBoost(Perks.Sneak, 1);
        table.insert(newTraits, LowProfile);

not sure if its needed or not, pretty sure it isnt cuz that's what's albion said and she knows pz modding pretty much better than anyone

[round notch]

I might test it later on

[dull moss]

vanilla files are loaded before mod files

so it's really not needed

[spiral pike]

errr

all i see is tv static looking at that

but thats basically adding new traits right?

i got that part working at least already

i have trouble with custom occupation

[dull moss]

check SOTO code, i dont do occupations

[blissful urchin]

How do you know if a file/module need to be imported before using ? Because I already used object from other files without importing them

I'll defer that answer to someone smarter than me. Apparently it's not necessary so ignore that message

[spiral pike]

but i am already ripping code out of something that already exist

[dull moss]

if its from vanilla files im pretty sure you can ignore it as vanilla files are loaded before mods

[blissful urchin]

Ok thanks 🙂

I am a bit confused with lua, is it a OOP langage ? I am not used to how they are created, it's like object with functions on them and mimic the "new" Java thingy 😄

[dull moss]

lua is more of a scripting language

[ebon dagger]

I am really enjoying playing with the code from SpecialLootSpawns.lua. Its just simple name changes and stuff, but its fun.

[blissful urchin]

But here it can be used to have sort of Object Oriented files ?

Pitty that we can't use Java 😄

[dull moss]

you can but then it will be manual installation mod

[round notch]

I find it similar to python with extra steps but I don't code in java

[blissful urchin]

Yeah that's not user-friendly

[blissful urchin]

Yeah it's very similar to python

[dull moss]

honestly I havent seen anything yet where I thought "man I wish this was a class"

[round notch]

I was close, I put a function inside a function, but wasn't a class

[dull moss]

I mean you can pack functions in the file and then return content and use it in different parts of code

that's as close as you canget to classes in lua

unless im mistaken

sth like

local ETWCommonFunctions = {};

---Plays a sound if enabled in settings
---@param player IsoPlayer
function ETWCommonFunctions.traitSound(player)
    if modOptions:getOption("EnableSoundNotifications"):getValue() then

end

---Returns ETW mod data with correct type (for IDE)
---@param player IsoPlayer|IsoGameCharacter
---@return EvolvingTraitsWorldModData
function ETWCommonFunctions.getETWModData(player)
    return player:getModData().EvolvingTraitsWorld
end

---Function responsible for checking if specific trait should be gained/lost, returns true if yes and removes it from the table. Otherwise, returns false.
---@param name string
---@return boolean

    local player = getPlayer();
    local modData = ETWCommonFunctions.getETWModData(player);
    local traitTable = modData.DelayedTraits;
    for index = 1, #traitTable do
        local traitEntry = traitTable[index]
        local traitName, gained = traitEntry[1], traitEntry[3]
        if detailedDebug() then print("ETW Logger | Delayed Traits System: caught check on " .. traitName) end;
        if traitName == name and gained then
            if detailedDebug() then print("ETW Logger | Delayed Traits System: caught check on " .. traitName .. ": player qualifies for it; removing it from the table") end;
            table.remove(traitTable, index);
            return true;
        end
    end
    return false;
end

return ETWCommonFunctions;

and then u just use it in other lua files

local ETWCommonFunctions = require "ETWCommonFunctions";

...
if SBvars.DelayedTraitsSystem and not ETWCommonFunctions.checkIfTraitIsInDelayedTraitsTable("ProneToIllness") then
...

[blissful urchin]

Yeah it used commonly on IS lua files, and fuck, I know now what IS means 😄

I was like "what they are all caled ISButton, ISPanel" it's Indie Stone no ?

[round notch]

ModData is good for that as well, in certain circumstances

[ebon dagger]

There is the functionality around TimedActions with :New and derive. Its class-like. Kinda like how LaCroix is "fruit flavored"

[dull moss]

also kinda tru

[blissful urchin]

I was thinking about making the mod loading the class in the game classpath on startup, I don't know if it would work, or possible

[blissful urchin]

But derive is not a hand-created function that mimic the inheritance ?

[round notch]

International Spacestation no?

[ebon dagger]

Sure, but I was just pointing out class-ish stuff in a classless system 😄

[blissful urchin]

Hahah yeah

[round notch]

Anyone done anything with animals yet? Trying to make a pig explode rn but I need an onAnimalDeath event ideally lol

[dull moss]

[round notch]

Well if anyone is interested, even when animals are attacked they are tagged as "Zombie" but they don't trigger onZombieDead event

[blissful urchin]

Do you know guys how to reload lua files in game ?

Tired on leaving/entering game again and again

[tacit pebble]

main menu - bottom right - reload lua

[blissful urchin]

I mean, in game not in the menu screens 😄

[tacit pebble]

or press f11 - search specific lua file - reload

[tacit pebble]

yeh then try second one 🙂

[blissful urchin]

It crashes

On teleportFastMove function

[tacit pebble]

crash mean your game has stopped work or something like CTD?

[blissful urchin]

The debug screen appears saying there is an error on a specific line, but my lua script did not reload

seems that the game catched my 'F11' as teleport key

[tacit pebble]

that's normal. but reloading not working is not normal.
so you changed something, saved your lua file, back to pz, hit f10, search your lua file and click "reload file"
but does nothing?

[blissful urchin]

F10 or F11 ?

[tacit pebble]

default should be f11 sorry i changed keybind to f10

i was confused myself 😛

[blissful urchin]

Oh okay I understood ! So the debug mode appears and then I can see my files on the bottom right

Thanks !

And Thanks god that when you re-hit F11, the search text is still there and not have to re-write the file again 😄

Seems that I have more comfort now

step by step 🦾

[tacit pebble]

yep just don't try reloading wrong lua code(missing end, missing {}, etc) or game will be broken.
in this case, you will be able to see error count when you reloaded wrong lua code, once you see error count it means there's a typo or something.

[blissful urchin]

And do you know how I can trigger specific events without impacting the game ?

Like, I have a OnGameStart trigger Event, so I still need to quit the game 😦

[blissful urchin]

Ok thanks for the info

[tacit pebble]

you can write function name into finger print(bottom left)
but working or not working is depended on what does function do.

[full escarp]

thats good to know! but sadly this doesn't fix the way that autocomplete / intellisense doesn't work with the event parameter on my end

[tawdry moss]

Working on a first aid mod, all the new first aid files have a “syncBodyPart” function which calls a sequence of numbers as the parameter.

Does anyone know how I’d change these to other wound types? I checked the documentation and it wasn’t helpful

aaaand now debug mode wont launch

Validated files several times, issue persists

[lime socket]

Are we able to make .java scripts for mods or just .lua?

[bright fog]

You can make java mods but it requires manual installation

[lime socket]

oh okay great thank you, ill stick with lua then

[full escarp]

what would be the best way to get the information if the player is infected with the virus? is it on the BodyDamage/ BodyParts or on the Player itself?

i assume IsInfected() isn't for the zombie virus

[winter bolt]

player:getBodyDamage():IsInfected()

[full escarp]

okay so IsInfected isn't referred to bacterial infection or such

[winter bolt]

theres a separate thing for wound infection i think

[full escarp]

i'll test it, i just assumed the zombie infection to be more "centralized" on the Character itself and not the bodyparts

[winter bolt]

it is on the character

getBodyDamage is just all of the characters health i think

[full escarp]

oh i see

so that makes sense

[lime socket]

Does anyone know why my mod wont show up in the mod list, i have follow nasKo's thread for folder structures but it doesnt seem to be working?

Heres the folder structure:

and here is my mod info:

[tawdry moss]

The mod.info ahould be in common, not 42

[lime socket]

i shall give that a go now

still nothing sadly, i have it in the mods folder in my PZ directory should it be there or in the workshop folder?

[tawdry moss]

There’s other stuff with new mods wanting an icon for the mod menu as well, not seeing that

Add an “icon=icon.png” line to your mod.info and add an icon.png image to your 42 folder

[lime socket]

thank you ill give that a go

[round notch]

Has setGhostMode been depreciated?

[lime socket]

@tawdry moss icon didnt work either, heres my new folder structure

[tawdry moss]

Maybe in your mod.info, set “icon=poster.png”

If this works then I think I know whats going on, if not then I’m out of ideas

[lime socket]

sadly this hasnt worked either! i did do a fresh install in the hopes that TIS has provided a new example mode to get me started converting my old mod but it doesnt look like they have

thank you for the help! ill download a working mod and see what the difference is!

[bright fog]

Put everything in the 42 folder instead

Currently there seems to be a few weird things happening with the common folder not taking some files

Also you have
model -> model_X

It's supposed to just be model_X, that's it

Models are put in model_X

But overall it should work

However yeah the problem could be that some of these are not cognized in the common folder

I'm curious what's your full path however for these folders

[lime socket]

okay so heres the new tree based on your suggestions:

[bright fog]

Looks good

[lime socket]

this is full path:

G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\mods\DirtysFuneralPyre\42

[bright fog]

That should be good yes

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Mod_creation

Check the new wiki page about it if you want

Still being created but I've fully made the parts about the paths

[lime socket]

Sadly its still not working but thank you for your suggestions, i will look over the wiki page youve made!

[bright fog]

Can you send your mod.info please ?

[lime socket]

of courese, uno momento

[bright fog]

Your icon is named "icon.png"

But here you reference it as "poster.png"

While I don't see why it wouldn't work anyway (it should be able to use the poster), try setting it as your icon.png

[lime socket]

ah yes, pieandcheese was helping me earlier today, i can change that back

[bright fog]

Nothing looks wrong beside that tho

[lime socket]

changed back and still no luck, I'll start from scratch and make a new folder structure

[bright fog]

Can you show what you see in the mod manager ?

Is it a white icon ?

Can you send your icon file ?

[lime socket]

currently my mod doesnt show up atall,

[placid delta]

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/ does not seem to have been updated to B42. Will that happen soon?

[lime socket]

heres my very inventive icon

[bright fog]

Yes it will happen, I'm currently mostly alone working on the modding Wiki

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Mod_creation
You can use this

This is up to date

[placid delta]

thanks that seems to be about the file structure of how to make mods with new version. thats helpful but i was interested in reviewing the actual Java class and methods for the Animal husbandry. Its a lot easier to use that site then a java decompiler in my opinion

[bright fog]

Still getting created at the bottom tho, but you'll find a bunch of explanations already

[bright fog]

Give me a sec, we have that

https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/

Unofficial java doc

Also be aware that the modding Wiki was basically useless and that I'm currently reworking it completely to actually be usable

So some pages will not be up-to-date

But a lot of stuff are getting updated

[full escarp]

is there a way to add information to the original character info panel? creating a new children for ISCharacterInfoWindow?

[lime socket]

okay @bright fog little update, i decided to put my mod in "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3389781770\mods" folder (this is where steam downloads workshop items) and it is showing in game, unsure on the behaviour behind this but could be something to do with my PZ installation being in a non standard drive? or some other wacky thing but its now being shown in the mod list

Thank you so much for your help and updating the wiki, going to need it now my real work is beginning!

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Folders_structure

Moved to this page the folder structure

[round notch]

Has anyone managed to get the cheat commands to work on client side without running debug? This seems to have changed from my testing.

[mystic vessel]

Hello guys, I have the code above that removes insulation by crafting

And I'm trying to do the same to remove the combat debuff in this case (set it to 1)
but I've tried every way, every possible way, but it doesn't update within the game
What i'm doing wrong?

[mint hawk]

I once again made a mod that keeps the game from loading - where can I see the error log?

I assume that might give me some indicator as to what I messed up.

Found it. Zomboid/Logs/ duh.

[astral wind]

is this where i can suggest mod ideas for mod creators?

[lime socket]

Hello Again, does anyone have any resources on how i can access PZ lua classes within my mod project?

im using Rider with IntellJIdea and i want to be able inherit from and use various classes and their functions

[bright fog]

It will most definitely be forgotten and ignored by 99.9999% of people here but you can probably just throw it here eh

[bright fog]

Hey, currently the only way is by usinig VSCode

We have an addon called Umbrella

Adds autocompletion

[lime socket]

ahh okay is that the pinned thread from chuckleberry?

[bright fog]

Yes

No ?

Wait what thread ?

[astral wind]

well if anyone sees this: maybe a mod where you can catch and release fish cause i wanna fish but i dont wanna overfish the river near my house

[astral wind]

i just like fishing for fun

[lime socket]

This? @bright fog

[bright fog]

Yes

[lime socket]

Cool Idea!

[cosmic ermine]

Does anyone have intellisense for B42?

[lime socket]

that maybe what Sir Doggy is talking about!

@cosmic ermine the third pin in the pinned threads on this channel

[cosmic ermine]

That's for 41.78...

[lime socket]

ah my bad, new to this stuff

thats problematic for me too as i want to work with the new build menu

[bright fog]

No

It's B42 too

[bright fog]

It's a message, not a thread tho

[full escarp]

https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/UmbrellaAddon-Unstable

[bright fog]

• Download VSCode
• Download Lua server package
• ctrl shift P
• Open addon manager
• Search Umbrella
• Activate Umbrella unstable

Welp it's not showing the Unstable here for some reason

But you should have the Unstable too

@bronze yoke any idea why Unstable is not showing here ?

[bright fog]

Welp idk my PC said no I guess

But yeah enable unstable and that's B42

[lime socket]

up and running now, thank you kindly

[cosmic ermine]

<@&671452400221159444>

[bronze yoke]

if you're using umbrella, the best way is to put```lua
---@type Callback_OnPlayerGetDamage

[full escarp]

thats really good to know thanks!

[sterile belfry]

More than 1 year waiting for an update and the game's graphics API is still not optimized, this is sad

[bright fog]

Uh ?

The game got optimized a fuck ton here

[pine tree]

can we get a TV chatter update? maybe different chatter for different channels?

[cosmic ermine]

Question: what does media do? If common is used by all versions and 42 is used by version 42 then what does media do by itself?

[bronze yoke]

get loaded by build 41

[full escarp]

i try to display some custom values to the characterinfo window, but struggle with updating the variable

but it shouldn't say nil

i've overriden the creation of this ui element

function ISCharacterScreen:createChildren()
    original_createChildren(self)
    
    local y = self.height
    local customLabel = ISLabel:new(250, y, 20, "Custom Info:", 1, 1, 1, 1, UIFont.Small, true)
    self:addChild(customLabel)
    
    
    y = y + 20
    local infoLabel = ISLabel:new(250, y, 20, tostring(InfectionLevel) , 1, 1, 1, 1, UIFont.Small, true)
    self:addChild(infoLabel)
end

and also the prerender to update the value

function ISCharacterScreen:prerender()
    original_prerender(self)
    updateInfectionLevel()
end

but i am also not sure if overriding these functions should be the way to go to implement custom ui elements into existing screens

[smoky vine]

Hey guys, i made a backpack mod a while ago, what would be required to update it so it works w b42?

[sand gull]

Does the combo getNumActivePlayers() and getSpecificPlayer(playerIndex) allow me to select online players in multiplayer or just the splitscreen players?

[bronze yoke]

just splitscreen players

[sand gull]

That was quick, thanks!

[lime socket]

@smoky vine this could be a start!

[cosmic ermine]

Is it possible to make settings for your mods now? Without mods like ModOptions?

[bronze yoke]

for online players, from the server you can do```lua
local players = getOnlinePlayers()
for i = 0, players:size() - 1 do
local player = players:get(i)
-- do something to player
end

[restive lodge]

@full escarp Maybe check out killcount mod by tchernobill. killcount directly modifies that same window

[smoky vine]

thanks mate ^^

[lime socket]

no worries hope it helps

[full escarp]

awesome thats a good, i was already looking for a mod in the workshop that does the same, but hasn't found one thank you ❤️

[lime socket]

Does anyone know of a mod that adds new things to the build menu that i can look at?

[lapis moth]

in client this will only get nearby players
i don't know the distance
may be 1 cell

[lapis moth]

b41 or b42?

[lime socket]

B42 would be great but im struggling to find one

[lapis moth]

have no idea

[lime socket]

ahaha, thank you anyway!

[lapis moth]

Try to take a look at the vanilla code. I think the formula for architecture should be similar to the synthesis of items

[lime socket]

from looking at a mod using the new crafting menu it uses alot of tags in its recipe script so im guessing its similar but its a bit of a black box

good idea, i keep forgetting ive decompiled it

[bronze yoke]

weirder than that, it'll get players who have ever been within your radius

when you're close enough to a player for the first time you start receiving updates about them and won't stop until you disconnect

[lapis moth]

The player's position obtained by this function is not accurate, especially when in the car

any guide on how to put a gif in my workshop item?

[cosmic ermine]

Is it possible to add options for my mod?

[bronze yoke]

i haven't worked with it yet but b42 has native mod options, there should be a guide from dhert on them somewhere

he uploaded an example too https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386860561

[cosmic ermine]

OK, thanks.

[crisp fossil]

Hi how do you get the body location of a clothing?

[tacit pebble]

Does anyone knows what these args for?
setBallisticsColor(int var0, float var1, float var2, float var3)
I thought rgba at the first, but int/ float/ float/ float seems not rgba

https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/core/physics/Bullet.html#setBallisticsColor(int,float,float,float)

[cosmic ermine]

Is it fine to leave common empty?

[restive lodge]

what are my options for looking at the decompiled java code. do I have to decompile it myself or is there a resource somewhere for B42

[cosmic ermine]

https://github.com/quarantin/beautiful-java

[bronze yoke]

beautiful java doesn't work out of the box with b42, i'd recommend just using vineflower

download a vineflower jar from here https://github.com/Vineflower/vineflower/releases, open cmd next to it and do java -jar vineflower-1.10.1.jar PATH/TO/ProjectZomboid/zombie

[icy yarrow]

If only IntelliJ Idea wasn't so expensive

[bronze yoke]

there's a free community edition

[waxen knot]

also, if youre studying you can get a free school license

[bronze yoke]

the reason beautiful java wants you to use idea anyway is just because it comes with fernflower which is just a slightly worse version of vineflower

[bright fog]

I suggest you decompile the game code

[bright fog]

Link the wiki page

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Decompiling_game_code

Wiki page on the subject. Up to date too

[north spindle]

Forgive me for my stupidity, but I'm trying to make my own True Music Add-on. The instructions say this. It says "For example, add your mod Workshop ID to their names:" Does it have to be their workshop ID, or can it be something else? If it has to be their workshop ID, isn't the ID created when you upload a mod to the workshop? How would I get that if the mod isn't even ready to be uploaded?

[bronze yoke]

they just need to be unique, workshop id is a good way of guaranteeing that

[north spindle]

Oh, ok. Thankyou!

[restive lodge]

I got it using vineflower, thanks

[bright fog]

It details all the steps of vineflower on the wiki

If you ever need to point someone to a guide, please point to it

[sterile belfry]

After 1 year I expected at least DirectX 12 integration

[bright fog]

I don't know anything on the subject but why would they need it ?

Are they even using any DirectX ?

[bronze yoke]

nope

[sterile belfry]

The only benefit of using Java in this OpenGL project is the cross-platform option. Even so, we don't have a version of Zomboid for Android and almost all users use Windows

[bronze yoke]

the game has native linux and mac builds, this would not be possible with direct x

[north spindle]

Another question about true music addons, if I name a file say, with Japanese characters, will it show up in-game that way, or will PZ have a brain fart and just replace it with something like □□□□□?

[bright fog]

If they don't need it, why would they use it ?

[sterile belfry]

Zomboid demands so much from my video card that it's more worthwhile to play anything else

I love this game, don't get me wrong

[bright fog]

Maaan the game got hella optimized this build

[sterile belfry]

But it is a resource black hole

[north spindle]

cries in Ark: Survival Evolved

[bright fog]

Just work with UTF8 encoding I believe

[north spindle]

Ah damn ok. Thankyou

[bronze yoke]

the vanilla english font might not be able to render them though, not sure

[north spindle]

I'll probably just translate the song titles

[bright fog]

Hmm true

[winter bolt]

if you mean in lua then getBodyLocation() from what i remember

[quasi kernel]

Is B42 currently having rendering issues to any degree? I ask because I've received 2 bug reports related to Visible Generator Range having to do with rendering (when it literally just uses the basic highlighting system) and I want to confirm that it's not an issue with my mod.

Not unless there's new issues associated with the highlights in B42, but even then that doesn't necessarily explain the awkward issues I've been getting reports about.

[bronze yoke]

what kind of rendering issues?

as all games do it has rendering issues to any degree

[quasi kernel]

"big shadow box appear in place of generator" and "shadowy ground around world-generated doors"

[bronze yoke]

hmm, i haven't seen anything like that

[quasi kernel]

It just seems so.. odd?

Like, all I'm doing is messing with the highlight system from B41 which - to my knowledge - hasn't been thrown out or anything.

And I'm not aware of any performant alternatives.

I don't know if it's an issue with the highlight system that appeared with B42, if I'm just going crazy, or what.

[blazing osprey]

Mods I place manually aren't showing up in the game, including the example mod. I fresh installed on both my drives and nothing's changing

[pastel thorn]

Hey! Im sorry for asking twice (I believe there were some discussions above), but anyway, wanna be sure if I dont miss anything. Could I just clone the main b from the Umbrella rep, for the 42 unstable version? Seems like my vscode dont want to define this ver and show only 41.**stable, as well as I see only one release for the stable one as well.

Sorry, Im pretty new to this (was trying to recreating stuff from necro capsid half a day and found that there is another way to make things work with umbrella :D)

[bronze yoke]

i'm not sure we've pushed anything into the umbrella repository since b42 dropped

you can use the library folder from here, this is where the addon manager gets it from https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/UmbrellaAddon-Unstable

[pastel thorn]

Tysm!

[bronze yoke]

let me check i don't have anything local unpushed actually

[storm axle]

hii

i have no experience modding, but i created a mod patch and it WORKED somehow after 12 hours of dying. Now i need to create a version of the base mod Shops for build 42 but i dont know what should i change

[bronze yoke]

yep all good, that's the latest version already

there's actually a bunch of long standing issue fixes in there that haven't actually been pushed to the addon manager so you'll be (temporarily) using a better version than everyone else

[icy yarrow]

Well I think I got this as good as I can get it until MP comes out

[tacit pebble]

so please come here again after follow first step which I sent you. that step is 100% necessary. basically you have to create sub folders for b42.
and the link I sent is explaining how to create sub folders.

[pastel thorn]

tats an honor

[tacit pebble]

and then if you encountered any errors or weird situation, you can ask them 😉

[bright fog]

Folder structure
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Folders_structure#Mod_folder_structure

[storm axle]

Just did that, now I am trying to figure out what else must be changed. The mod introduces barely 2 new 2D items which are the coins and that’s all

[bright fog]

Did you try to run the mod ?

[cosmic ermine]

My files aren't reloading? I've updated the code and files but the game is still loading the old version.

Is Workshop prioritized than mods?

It is...

[ebon dagger]

Ok, I have made a mod that allows you to do "Dead Drop" trades with offscreen NPC factions. With reputation, values, specific wants etc.

My question:
The code that give the player items when the Dead drop is complete. Does it matter if that is on /server or /client? Should code that adds items to worldObjects be on the server?

[cosmic ermine]

How do I add sandbox options for my mod?

[ebon dagger]

https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/PZModdingGuides/blob/main/guides/SandboxOptions.md

That should have a lot of info on adding sandbox options

[storm axle]

For build 42 not yet

I know I have to make a build 42 file but what am I supposed to put in there?

[bright fog]

Refer to the wiki page I sent

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Folders_structure#Mod_folder_structure

It's the same thing, media folder etc

But you need to put things in versioning or common folders now

You have the comparison of both on that link

B41 and B42

Hey, I’m encountering a problem modding a TV channel. My TV channel works, and the text colors and skill changes, but for some reason all text is the Entry ID for each dialogue.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

[bright fog]

Did you make a mistake with your code ?

I'm not familiar at all with modding these however

[umbral raptor]

I don’t think so. Everything works except the displayed text

Found the error

[bright fog]

👌

[cosmic ermine]

Where can I find vanilla scripts?

[bright fog]

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts

Should be something like that

[cosmic ermine]

Thanks.

[tranquil reef]

Anyone have any luck finding where the animal items are?

You can pick them all up but I don't see any item for them in the scripts files

[bright fog]

Those are probably like for furnitures

I believe there's some weird things with that

I wouldn't be able to point you in the right direction, but I believe for furnitures it's a system where it's not an item too or some shit like that

[ebon dagger]

Anyone ever get anything like this to work?

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Creating_dynamic_radio_channels

Or know of any mods that did?

[bright fog]

Custom radios ? Definitely

Not me, but there's mods that add custom radio channels

[ebon dagger]

Not the XML based ones, but the Dynamic ones.

[bright fog]

However I do not know if that guide is up-to-date, I'm interested to know if it is bcs I'm reworking the modding wiki

[ebon dagger]

Like the Emergency Broadcast that changes based on the weather etc.

[bright fog]

Hmm

Maybe

Maybe:

• True Music Radio
• Braven's radio mod

Check these out if they use it, ik they do some radio stuff

[ebon dagger]

That guide is pretty extensive, but something about the way the author explains it, just doesn't calculate in my brain.

[bright fog]

Which don't involve the XML if I'm not mistaken

[ebon dagger]

I'll go look! thanks for the direction. 😄

[bright fog]

Haven't read the guide fully, but if you have suggestions

I can take them

[ebon dagger]

CanBeDoneFromFloor isn't a thing from what I can find.

Remove that and change your tags to

or

How to do \n/newlines with texts?

[random finch]

This is not a thing in B42 anymore?

if (var6.equals("CanBeDoneFromFloor")) {
                  this.setCanBeDoneFromFloor(var7.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("true"));
               }

How can I override the tooltips that show when hovering items in inventory and containers? Trying to add and remove parts of them

[outer crypt]

seems like this should work, it doesn't do anything, not even throwing an error... I can see the container and verify it's empty but it won't take the add... container:getFluidContainer():addFluid(Beer, 1)

[umbral raptor]

can someone help me? i literally cannot get this mod to work. the text displayed in-game in the TV channel i modded in is the RD_ followed by the entry ID

[ebon dagger]

Yeah, I just did a search through the /scripts/recipes folder and got 0 results.

[outer crypt]

container:getFluidContainer():addFluid("Beer", 1) I got it... it would only take it as a string...

The language file should be Tooltip_EN.txt

found in media/lua/shared/Translate/

I'm PRETTY SURE you can just overwrite base game lines and it will use the mod values.
