clever surge
#

Thanks, but what I am trying to to is to remove parts from the tooltips entirely. For example, the (DEBUG) Script Name thats part of all InventoryItem tooltips

#

This is defined in java, but is there a way to override it in lua?

bronze yoke
#

only if you want rewrite tooltips entirely

ebon dagger
#

Ah yeah, no idea. Sorry about that ๐Ÿ˜„

clever surge
#

yeah ๐Ÿ˜ฆ thanks anyways!

#

I am the author of the "Disable Unstable Debug Text" mod on the workshop and it's currently a java mod, so I'm looking into ways of doing it in lua instead. I know it's dirty but I'd rather do it from lua since that way I can have a hotkey to toggle the debug elements

elfin stump
#

Anyone know if there is a way to place a 3d item in the world, like if the character was to drop it, with X,Y,Z coordinate or by from a GridSquare?

bronze yoke
#

in b41 not really (i found some kind of way but it was so buggy i wouldn't want to actually use it), maybe in b42 though

crystal canyon
#

we need a tool to ease the creation/updating of so many recipes

#

my last issue was that I left out [] for inputs. Outputs dont need them but inputs do. That lack of consistency messed me up

elfin stump
#

Anyone see any issues where smoker characters spam coughing? I have a user reporting it thinking it was my mod but when I looked at their mod list it is clear they have some conflicting mods. But I am curious, their are new changes to smoking, anyone look at it? Any ideas what might cause a player to constantly spam "cough" every second essentially forever until they die or quit?

Is there a way to know when a food is refrigerated/frozen?

wispy current
#

Hello guys, I wanted to ask you a question, what tool do you use to make mods? Do you do it over the game's base code? I'm a beginner and I wanted to know this, because I don't know how to start making mods.

elfin stump

cosmic ermine
#

Foods, weapons, guns, etc.

elfin stump
#

Just cause the B41 isn't B42 though doesn't mean its useless, most of it is the same, dependent on the system you are using.

bright fog
#

Unofficial Java doc

#

For B42

cosmic ermine
bright fog
#

Wiki has the parameters I believe, tho not updated for B42

wispy current
crystal canyon
#

for example

image.png
#

int means that it is an integrer for example DaysTotallyRotten = 30
boolean means that it is either true or false for example IsCookable = true

cosmic ermine
#

We can eat dungs? rj

crystal canyon
#

yes, but they kill you if im not mistaken

I am getting a huge performance hit on getObjects loop. I need to determine if the square is a road. Any recommendations on optimizing this?

                -- Restrict building on roads
                if not allowOnRoads then
                    local objects = checkSquare:getObjects()
                    if objects:size() > 0 then
                        for k = 0, objects:size() - 1 do
                            local isoObject = objects:get(k)
                            local objectTexture = isoObject:getTextureName()
                            if objectTexture and luautils.stringStarts(objectTexture, "blends_street") then
                                return false, "IGUI_pczUI_aRoad"
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end

#

so i got a question

#

when it comes to weapons, what causes them to not show up like, lets say 95% of the time?

#

because i am trying to backport some weapons from B42 to B41, the bats.
rake headed, fork headed, can reinforced, and sheet reinforced

#

now, the recipes show up

#

but the items refuse to, even with ID's and ported over models / textures

pastel sphinx
#

I just want to say, I came here with a question, found the answer in the PINNED comments. So I didn't have to ask. /bows deeply

bright fog
#

Check out tips here

bright fog
#

Maybe you can pass if it's not an IsoObject

#

I believe getObjects might give you everything

#

So even zombies and players no ?

#

Maybe not actually

#

No yeah I think it does ?

random finch
#

Based on a given square indicated by the Moveable Cursor, it will check the surrounding around from the square depending on sandbox setting limitations. So it will cycle through maybe 100 squares grabbing the objects on each.

#

Perhaps there is an IsoGridSquare method that can grab the floor tile only.

#

I think zombies and players cannot be found here, but are found via getMovingObjects()

#

HAHA, wtf. I think I asnwered my own question:

IsoGridSquare:getFloor()

#

I wonder how this will work for floor on top of floors

#

Not story by story but building a tile on top another tile

tranquil reef
#

Made a mod that adds a creature called a Homunculus. I want to have a custom spawn mechanic, what can I do that's both gross and funny

#

I'm thinking you have to craft an egg with something, but what

random finch
#

Maybe they spawn in toilets

#

or dumpsters

tranquil reef
#

I'll make toilet goblins next. But that's too much coding for me rn (I'm lazy)

#

I wanna do a spawn item because then I can just create a context menu option if the player has the item, and clicking that spawns it

bronze yoke
#

for situations where you *do* have to loop through the object list, use IsoGridSquare:getLuaTileObjectList()

#

it converts it to a table before passing it to lua so you can loop through it really cheaply

#

my mod is regrettably extremely reliant on this ๐Ÿ˜”

random finch
#

What the crap, no one does this that I have seen - not even TIS code. Now I have to change several lines of code.

#

How do I add a description to a profession?

ashen mist
#

how would one go about attaching models to a weapon?

#

like, x weapon uses y model

#

is it attached to the model itself? the item's id?

#

sorry, not the model itself

#

i should say the base file

icy yarrow
#

Really unfortunate on some of the limitations of the craftRecipe stuff. Doesn't seem to be able to grab by item types

#

Looks like it expects to use tags, but not all vanilla items have tags

bronze yoke
#

you can use item types?

lapis moth
#

you need to find wepaon's bone

icy yarrow
bronze yoke
#

item 1 [Base.PopBottle;Base.WaterBottle;Base.PopBottleRare],

icy yarrow
#

Hmm, perhaps I didn't explain. I meant using this for example Type = Radio, to grab

bronze yoke
#

oh, probably not no

icy yarrow
#

so I either need to add custom tags to all the items or call each item individually

opaque hedge
#

if I wanna make a voice pack how do I do it? I saw someone making an arthur morgan one and I want to make a heisenberg one where all he says is "JESSE"

tranquil reef
#

It's actually really easy to add new animals if you know what you're doing

#

Hopefully me posting this mod helps people figure it out easier

cosmic ermine
#

How would I start making vehicle mods?

bright fog
#

Tho I don't remember seeing much about vehicles but I'm pretty sure there exists at least one guide on how to make vehicles

cosmic ermine
#

Already checking this out, texturing sounds complicated.

image.png
bright fog
#

Not really

#

It's like an 3D models

cosmic ermine
#

What does he mean by mask?

#

  1. Mask out windows, give them mirror metal material and add a filter to them

  2. Mask out chrome parts, made them mirror metal and added the same filter with slightly different settings.

  3. Apply the same filter to all body parts left.

  4. Add a position gradient to the windows

bright fog
cosmic ermine
#

The black & white images are masks right?

bright fog
#

That's the only thing ik tbf

tranquil reef
#

How do I open .X files?

cosmic ermine
tranquil reef
#

What converter though. Aren't these modified DirectX files?

pastel thorn
#

Thats odd. Made some draft ./maps mod, with spawn points. And this mod completely don't want to run from the 42 folder, but all is good with Common. But it take some shared files from 42 ๐Ÿ˜„ Also I still cannot reuse some textures and other stuff from Common folder, as said on wiki page, receiving just blank white pics. Including some icon/previews. Maybe some1 faced with it already?

crystal canyon
pastel thorn
#

And struggled a bit with a media/video import. Seems like something goes wrong with its path. Wanted to check out how to make some cute previews on new spawn selector

cosmic ermine
crystal canyon
#

doesnt want to read from anywhere else

#

i was complaining about it yesterday or the day before

bronze yoke
#

icons and posters don't work in common because they check the actual directory and not the virtual file system

#

no idea about maps but there are a lot of bugs with things not working in certain folders right now

if you put the bik video in the vanilla pz videos folder, itll load and work as it should

Thank you guys, really appreciate it ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Thank you CoolSunglasses

icy yarrow
#

Huh, so can't replace vanilla recipes by using same name

#

They just end up merging

crystal canyon
#

I wonder what fixes they are adding to 42.0.3

icy yarrow
#

Integration of rest of fluid system?

crystal canyon
#

what is missing from that?

icy yarrow
#

Tubs and Sinks aren't part of it. Would be nice for those to get integrated

crystal canyon
#

ah then we are looking at similar hopes. Been trying to add the fluid container property to barrels. This and that go in the same line

icy yarrow
#

Wouldn't mind having some lua accessible things for craftRecipe if they aren't going to allow direct overwriting

bronze yoke
#

yeah, that side of things is a little disappointing

random finch
#

Off the top, anyone know if there is a Kahlua method to convert a LUA table to Java ArrayList?

ashen mist
#

So, I got this error I don't really understand, think I've isolated it from the rest of the plain loading in stuff

๐Ÿ“Ž batjavaerror1.txt
random finch
ashen mist
#

Yeah, backporting some B42 baseball bats

#

i didn't copy the recipes directly into 41

random finch
#

Check your parameters? make sure they are actually available in B41.

ashen mist
#

yeah, did that

random finch
#

Can you try only one bat recipe? Is that / at the end suppose to be there? Does the BoltBatCrafting sound actually exist - maybe you added the sound along with a sound script for it?

Try one recipe and see if it works to seclude the issue?

ashen mist
#

fuk

#

thats from scrap weapons

#

see this started as like, a replacement for some of those

#

cuz it was initially for a tweak

#

which made the bats non functional

#

so i moved it to its own mod

random finch
# 
LeafRake/Rake/,

remove tha slash at the end real quick, see what happens?

ashen mist
#

lemme just copy vanilla and add hammering as the sound

#

fuk again

#

see initially that was gonna use the workshop

#

cuz it had rake heads

#

but the import wasnt working so i cut it out

random finch
#

hrmm, Im not quite understanding. What do you mean by that? and what do you mean import wasnt working?

ashen mist
#

it just wouldn't pull from the workshop

#

no metalcutters, no tool heads

#

no problem for me though

#

i can just cut it out and use 100% vanilla

#

sounds replaced, extra slash removed

random finch
#

Did it work?

ashen mist
#

testing rn

#

nada

random finch
#

try one recipe. temporarily remove the rest.

ashen mist
#

still busted

#

recipe looks like this and wont make anything

#

right there is the file for all the bats and their ids

#

brb gonna correct the break sounds

#

break sounds are now all BaseballBatBreak

#

and every time i right click on a bat i get an error

ebon dagger
#

Is ZombRand inclusive?

random finch
#

Make sure the item icon is in the correct folder and has the proper naming convention.

ashen mist
random finch
old ginkgo
#

Example: Icon= Bat_Fork,

random finch
# ashen mist

Your icon naming seems incorrect. Do not include Item_:
Icon=Item_Bat_Rake,
to
Icon=Bat_Rake,
Check the others.

Also check the Weaponsprite names and if they are in the correct spot.

ashen mist
#

thanks, corrected it

#

this look good?

image.png
#

does the = have to touch?

random finch
#

nah doesnt matter

old ginkgo
#

I don't believe it does if you don't want it to.

#

Side note; you can name a folder Item_Icons and then you don't need to add the prefix to every single icon name, but then you do need to include Icons/Bat_Fork to your Icon=

#

But it allows you to itemize your textures a bit more neatly if that's something you prefer.

ashen mist
#

so i think heres the issue

#

items arent iteming

old ginkgo
#

Are your items defined as Baseball bats, or just 'Bats'?

ashen mist
#

baseball bats

old ginkgo
#

Ah, wait. Is your items.txt named just bats.txt?

ashen mist
#

...should it be items_bats.txt

#

because im starting to feel silly for being under the impression that it was the file contents that mattered more than the name

old ginkgo
#

Hm, no actually I don't think you do.

ashen mist
#

i'm gonna add items just to be safe

old ginkgo
#

It might also be a quirk of the item spawning menu, did you try searching BaseballBats without the space as well?

ashen mist
ashen mist
#

no spaces leads to no hits

ebon dagger
ashen mist
#

well

#

im gonna restart

#

and pray it brings the recipes back

#

fuck

#

renaming the files has borked my recipes

#

reverting to the old structure

random finch
# ashen mist im gonna restart

I back ported terraria 1.4 items to 1.3 (TML) back in the day. It's how I got started learning the API. Just thought Id mention it since I saw you are in their Discord.

old ginkgo
ashen mist
#

ah, im using cheat menu

#

debug stuff is just too much for me to comprehend a lot

ashen mist
#

can i send you the zip for the mod?

#

see if you can spawn in anything?

#

since if you can, i can see if the models n stuff work right

old ginkgo
ashen mist
#

thanks dude, major lifesaver

old ginkgo
fading horizon
#

we are so back

ashen mist
#

i copied over the bat file from earlier, same you used

#

and i cant see it

#

and as a bonus "fuck you" the recipes dont show up anymore

#

...i should go make sure its still enabled actually

#

yeah its still enabled

#

so apparently my own mod hates me

old ginkgo
#

I hadn't realized it was a backported mod and launched it earlier on B42 (since that was what I was testing my own mod on); but I'm debugging it now on B41.

ashen mist
#

you'd think this would be easier, right?

#

"oh, most the work is done! they already did the models and textures, i just have to add a recipe and item id and some stats!"

#

six days

#

that was me six days ago

old ginkgo
#

.txt files are honestly the bane of my existence and my least favorite part about modding.

#

Give me lua anyday.

#

At least I can add print functions to lua.

#

It's probably a stray extra space somewhere in one of the .txt files being candidly honest; they're wildly touchy. but I'm taking a look.

ashen mist
#

a stray space

#

im going to fucking kill myself

old ginkgo
#

They really can be that touchy at times.

ashen mist
#

like what spacing

old ginkgo
#

I've accidentally included an extra space after 'Base' before and it broke the file.

ashen mist
#

so how many spaces does it want

old ginkgo
#

None ideally lmao.

#

But I actually think I know the issue.

#

About to test.

it's always a comma

WHAT

#

okay brb rtemoving the comma from the base

old ginkgo
#

For B42 specifically.

ashen mist
#

oh nbvm

bronze yoke

in most cases i've seen you don't even need to import base in the first place

ashen mist
#

nvm

old ginkgo
#

B41 it doesn't seem to matter.

old ginkgo
#

You only really need to import Base if you're incorporating or overwriting recipes or items from the vanilla game

#

If you're strictly adding new items to your module you don't need to import it.

crystal canyon

it still wants to crash...

ive been working on these since 1pm... it is now 3:50 am

i spent one whole day working on these fucking bats

i have never felt worse about how i've spent a day

old ginkgo
# ashen mist nvm

Alright; I got it to work. All that I did;

A missing comma in one of the baseball bats .txt files, a missing comma in one of the batrepairs.txt after Screws=10, and I removed the import on the base bats.txt because it isn't necessary.

image.png
#

I also reformatted bats.txt to be a bit more readable, I'll send the zip over here in a sec.

#

Models aren't showing up, but that's because you need the textures ported back over.

#

Oh wait I see you have them, let me see if I can fix that rq.

ashen mist

Don't sweat it dude I've literally been troubleshooting this exact thing in my own mod all day long.

id try not to

but i got this complex about mistakes

i always think i gotta do it right the first time, so i always put in extra effort

and then it always explodes

and then i consider exploding my temporal lobe with 1 1/2 ounces lead shot

crystal canyon
#

what the actual f...

I removed these 2 lines

    NeedToBeLearn = TRUE,
    CanBeDoneFromFloor = TRUE,

and it loaded. Added them again one by one and CanBeDoneFromFloor doesnt want to load

#

I check back to the documentation and noticed I messed up. The actual parameter is "isCanBeDoneFromFloor"

#

no, loaded it with isCanBeDoneFromFloor and crashed again. I guess that parameter is no longer valid

crystal canyon

I don't need fixing modules in b42 right? Fixing is now done via tags based on this recipe?

is there a easy and good way of displaying debug values? for example i have map with a table in it and i would like to check the values over time without printing it all the time

What is a common issue that prevents the damn Sandbox settings from saving on server restart? I am only using two mods. Mine and StarLit, nothing else, no Udderly Up to Date. My mod does no special Sandbox manipulation.

I had this issue all the damn time while admining. Always had to delete the map_sand.bin file then painfully redo the settings. That is in linux, in my test environment I am dealing with windows and that file is not produced.

Alternatively you can every minute print(yourMapValue + nonExistantValue) which will error out and in debugger give you fast access to viewing whole table and you don't have to print it fully

Anyone know how I separate IsoZombie from this

IsoZombie{ Name:null, ID:70 StateFlags:zombie.popman.ZombieStateFlags{ { Initialized, CanWalk, CanCrawlUnderVehicle }}}

I get this and want to check for IsoZombie. I presumed it was isInstance() but can't get it to work ๐Ÿ˜›

you use isinstance(var, "IsoZombie") to check if its class is IsoZombie but idk what that table is

is it like the toString output of IsoZombie or something??

morning all. I'm trying to edit a simple mod that adds a few traits "More Simple Traits (MST)" to remove 3 of it's added traits since they're redudant now cuz b42 adds +1 traits for those skills, and when I remove them from the mod's .lua file it does remove them from the game but it also breaks the description for the other added traits from the mod from showing up when I hoover over it with the mouse. any idea why that might be and what I could do differently?

How do we add sound to crafting recipes in 42 now? seems like the old way doesn't work anymore

crystal canyon
#

sounds are now attached to timedactions

#

you would need to create a new timedaction with the sounds/animations you want

#

here is an example of base game timedaction Dismantle:

    timedAction Dismantle
    {
        metabolics      = HeavyDomestic,
        actionAnim      = Disassemble,
    sound        = Dismantle,
    prop1         = Base.Screwdriver,
    prop2         = Base.CraftingMetalPart,
    }

Metabolics is how many calories the action consumes, dont know numbers at the moment, gotta check that HeavyDomestic definition.

You can allso specify how much muscle strain the animation causes
muscleStrainFactor = 0.0133,
muscleStrainSkill = Strength,
muscleStrainParts = Hand_R;ForeArm_R;UpperArm_R,

#

then finally, you add your new timed action to your recipe script

ionic vale
#

Awesome, thank you for the direction

ok so, I have no idea if this is possible or not with Build 42. but I will just speak my mind in case it can be used as a suggestion for any higher up lurking.

For the new crafting recipies. the itemMapper stuff is really neat and a big quality of life but is it possible to consolidate multiple mods into using the same recipe?
Like using the Dakimakura mod and my addon as an example. Currently we just make new Craft into Armor and Undo Armor recipes for each mod, causing bloat as there would be a new duplicate recipe for every addon.
So is there or could there be a way to combine itemMapper lists between mods or use tags to create your own itemMapper list and have it be filtered into the recipes made by the original mod that the addons branch from?

If you're on B42, there is no multiplayer.

#

could somebody take a look at my code? Im on the last step of updating one of my mods for b42. Im trying to add a sandbox variable for my glasses mod that allows you to make it so when the checkbox is checked, the glasses get the "visualAid = true" property on the item. I've tried the following lua code but it doesnt seem to work. Thank you in advance

local function OnCreatePlayer(playerIndex, player)
    print("goth glasses - Sandbox Variable : Visual Aid")
    print(SandboxVars.GothGlasses.VisualAid)
    local glassesList = {"GothGlasses.Glasses_GothPentagram","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothCoffin","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothWings","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothRazor","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothRetro"}
    for k,v in pairs (glassesList) do

        local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(v)
        if item then
            if SandboxVars.GothGlasses.VisualAid == True then
                item:DoParam("VisualAid = TRUE")
            end
            print("added Visual Aid Tag to : ")
            print(item:getName())
        end
    end
end```
#

i dont think item:DoParam("VisualAid = TRUE" is actually doing what im intending it to do and i may need to use a different function, but im lost and havent done this in a very long time

#

because when starting with shortsighted and equipping my glasses with the sandbox variable selected (which the code is able to read as true), the glasses dont improve vision. Leading me to believe they do not have the visualAid = true property afterall

#

for reference my sandbox-options.txt is as follows


option GothGlasses.VisualAid {
    type = boolean,
    default = false,
    page = GothGlasses,
    translation = GothGlasses_VisualAid,
}```
#

and sandbox_EN translation is

    Sandbox_GothGlasses = "Goth Glasses",
    
    Sandbox_GothGlasses_VisualAid = "Visual Aid",
    Sandbox_GothGlasses_VisualAid_tooltip = "Use if you are using the short sighted trait to turn these glasses glasses into perscription glasses.",
}```
bronze yoke
#

if you're doing it OnCreatePlayer, it's too late to change the properties of items already in your inventory

#

do it OnInitGlobalModData

old ginkgo
#

I also could be wrong; but I thought I'd heard rumors that VisualAid = TRUE also simply does not work at the moment unless you spawn with the item.

fading horizon
#

i wasnt trying to do it for items in inventory, i was trying to change the items property globally i guess? I dont know if thats the correct approach because i havent done it in forever

old ginkgo
#

Even vanilla glasses that say 'prescription' etc on them do not work for the player.

#

But I only saw others discussing this; so I could be wrong.

fading horizon
old ginkgo
#

Yeah; I'm not sure myself. May be worth checking to see if it works in the first place to sanity check? I've not investigated it myself yet.

fading horizon
#

yeah ill try that. If not, im scrapping the idea because the rest of the update is finished and ready and this has held me up for 12 hours

#

thank yall for the assistance

bronze yoke
#

well if you want it to work globally you need to do it before OnCreatePlayer or it won't affect items in the inventory either way

fading horizon
#

ill give that a shot real quick

#

one moment

#

so a few things to note

#

still not working however

open drum
fading horizon
#

I made these two changes to the script file to debug if setting the item as visualaid as a baseline fixes it.

        VisualAid = TRUE,
    }```
``` item Glasses_GothCoffin {
        VisualAid = FALSE,
    }```
#

spawning in this time with short sighted trait, my sandbox variable checked.

  • default prescription glasses : Fix vision as intended
  • Pentagram glasses (*hardcoded **true *visualaid) : functional eyewear and fixes vision
  • coffin glasses (*hardcoded **false *visualaid) : non functional eyewear, doesnt fix vision

wing glasses (*does not declare **visualaid *setting in script file) : non functional eyewear, doesnt fix vision

#

this means declaring it in the script file as true works but somehow trying to apply the property via a sanbox variable is not working

# 
local function OnInitGlobalModData(isNewGame)
    print("goth glasses - Sandbox Variable : Visual Aid")
    print(SandboxVars.GothGlasses.VisualAid)
    local glassesList = {"GothGlasses.Glasses_GothPentagram","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothCoffin","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothWings","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothRazor","GothGlasses.Glasses_GothRetro"}
    for k,v in pairs (glassesList) do
        local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem(v)
        if item then
            if SandboxVars.GothGlasses.VisualAid == True then
                item:DoParam("VisualAid = TRUE")
                print("added Visual Aid Tag to : ")
                print(item:getName())
            end
            
        end
    end
end

Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(OnInitGlobalModData)
fading horizon
#

is item:DoParam("VisualAid = TRUE") not the correct way to declare a new property or change one? like is doParam() not the way to apply a new propety such as visualAid?

#

#

lemme write something up that i think would work

#

1 sec

# 
require "Items/ProceduralDistributions";
require "Items/Distributions";

if SandboxVars.youruniqueID.yourmodOptionName == true then
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.ChangeThisForWhateverLocationYouWant.items, "GothGlasses.Glasses_GothPentagram")
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.ChangeThisForWhateverLocationYouWant.items, 1);
else
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.ChangeThisForWhateverLocationYouWant.items, "GothGlasses.Glasses_GothPentagram")
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.ChangeThisForWhateverLocationYouWant.items, 1);
end
#

i think it would just be something like this in your distribution file?

#

check for option, use if else to control the flow to decide the option and probability

#

thats how i think it would be set up for my mods structure at least

old ginkgo
#

Hm, I do think that would work..but it would require possibly triplicating all of my table.insert entries due to just the sheer volume of items I'm adding, so it would be..messy. I was working on something that would parse the SandboxVars as a numbered result/value so I could just do something like this;

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["HotdogStandDrinks"].items, "Mixology.GatoradeCool-Blue");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["HotdogStandDrinks"].items,  SandboxVars.Mixology_ItemChance * 10.20);
#

But I can't quite figure out how to convert the options cleanly into a numeric variable because my brain is small.

No idea, but that is normal. Or at least, I get a bunch of those too

I'm guessing it's something to do with mods in teh mods folder not having a "workshop" folder structure

If there was a syntax error it should spit out the syntax error

And after the lua is all loaded it should start loading scripts... but it's not getting that far (script parsing can be fussy)

Does anyone have any handy resources for the process of creating a custom zombie with a custom model and animations?

Well, I have a fix for the cursed crops problem in b42. In \media\lua\server\Farming\SPlantGlobalObject.lua, three lines (174, 188, and 202) need to have their logic tests wrapped in parentheses to evaluate correctly--or at least what I think is correct based on what I presume those lines are trying to do. I don't know LUA and I'm tired as hell so I might have messed up my interpretation. But testing in debug mode suggests this will keep plants from being marked "cursed" incorrectly and allow the isSowMonth, isBestMonth, and isRiskMonth functions to evaluate and return correctly.

function SPlantGlobalObject:isSowMonth()
    if getSandboxOptions():getOptionByName("PlantGrowingSeasons"):getValue() == false then return false end
    if not (self or self.typeOfSeed) then return end
    local prop = farming_vegetableconf.props[self.typeOfSeed]
    if not prop then return end
    if not prop.sowMonth then return false end
    for i = 1, #prop.sowMonth do
        if getGameTime():getMonth() == prop.sowMonth[i] then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

The original was written if not self or self.typeOfSeed then return end causing the function to terminate prematurely. Since I don't know shit from ass in this department, I'd like someone to check my work. I also don't know if it is possible to dump this onto the Workshop for general consumption or not, but... if someone who knows how to mod wants to do it, it would probably make a lot of aspiring b42 farmers happy.

bronze yoke
#

it should probably be if not self or not self.typeOfSeed

#

but it's extremely strange to check self at all

#

if self is nil there shouldn't be anything to call the function in the first place

#

but yeah, that's definitely a mistake

what is the correct way to iterate over BodyParts from BodyDamge:getBodyParts to get the BodyPartType ?

silent zealot
#

Short version is you leave everything as-if for B41, add "common" and "42" folders that will be looked at by B42.

Then you test the mod and see if you need to update the stuff in it for B42 - some things work fine with no change.

i noticed most car mods need tweaking. They spawn with tires 1/4 under the ground

it is best if possible to place assets in common and things like lua and scripts in 42

Okay

what albion said is good for future proofing your mod, just change code in one folder and no need to keep duplicating files making your mod bulkier

no problem, glad you got it working

#

I really cant live without KI5 cars, or at least Filibuster

vanilla ones are... too plain

silent zealot
#

Going ahead, you can have common 42 42.0 42.0.2 folders, and teh more specific ones overide files in the other ones.

#

So you can put your textures and models in common, your lua code in 42, and then when 42.1 needs one lua file repaled put just that file in the 42.1 folder.

Ooo that's nice, better than spending my life searching for knapping recipes...

I need to do a notepad run and brainstorm some schematics to find something to level up on, but I can build a new forge without that (ignoring the fact that 1990s kentuckky lacks the technology to bend an iron bar into a loop)

At least we know the crafting is incomplete and full of known gaps.

I've been tempted to keep adding missing recipes but it would be pointless since it would all be made obsolete pretty quick in the new year.

hi, I'm trying to get the native mod options work but there are some issues. I already initialized my ModOption but now I'm trying to get its value. I tried it like this
initialize code:

local PZOptions = PZAPI.ModOptions:create("MyConfig", "My Settings")
PZOptions:addTickBox("sample", getText("UI_options_sample"), false, getText("UI_options_sample_tooltip"))

usage:

local newOptions = PZAPI.ModOptions:getOptions("MyConfig")
local option = newOptions:getOption("sample")
print(option)

tried to print option and it returns nil. what could be the issue?

in my implementation i stored the result of addTickBox

Hi everyone, Build 42 modding question, I struggle to find a clean way to add a Category to the new BuildPanel for CraftRecipe HandCraft, without overriding (which will cause incompatibilities with other mods that may do the same). All I could find is that it does self.logic:getCategoryList(); to get that list which at that point I don't get where it takes it from, maybe it is internal Java?

If you found a way to do that I would gladly take some help ๐Ÿ™

full escarp
#

i mean i can do

--- triggering a wrong Table Access Key to see the table in Debug View
---@type Callback_OnKeyPressed
local function DebugPrint(key)
    if (key == 67) and isDebugEnabled() then
        local table = getPlayer():getModData().ImmunityTable
        print(table["XXX"].flag)
    end
end

but if i could i would rather like to be that this if statement isn't even considered in non debug

bronze yoke
#

remember lua files are just functions, you can use any logic, not like c++ where most things can only be done inside a function

full escarp
bronze yoke
#

but yeah no preprocessor so no debug asserts without regular runtime cost :(

tacit pebble
full escarp
#

so the best i could do is

if isDebugEnabled() then
    --- triggering a wrong Table Access Key to see the table in Debug View
    ---@type Callback_OnKeyPressed
    local function DebugPrint(key)
        if (key == 67) then
            local table = getPlayer():getModData().ImmunityTable
            print(table["XXX"].flag)
        end
    end
end

that means that the if statement still will be evaluted ? how does it work in lua will it only be evaluted once when the lua file is loaded ?

A good heuristic is that if someone would be incentivized to cheat in some way, that system is likely to be server-side.

Movement is typically done client-side and synced regularly (in most games)

Getting a little bit out of my depth, but many games have an internal "server" even for SP, so I would assume that the server part will work the same in SP

#

then i can move most of my stuff to server and just implement some communication to the player

bronze yoke
#

pz's singleplayer doesn't use an internal server like some other games

#

it's literally one process, singleplayer can behave very differently to multiplayer

#

can shaders be replaced

#

i'm assuming not

#

but might as well ask

icy yarrow
#

Which is why I'm not releasing one mod until the multiplayer is out. I don't quiet understand how to ensure syncing is correct for item stats

bronze yoke
#

you can't do anything too fun with them though, there's no support for passing uniforms

#

but if you can make do with what the game has you can just replace shaders by regular file overrides

finite scroll
#

nice

#

just to be clear, they're replacable through mods, not just editing the vert/frag files right?

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i'm pretty sure anyway

finite scroll
#

alr sweet

bronze yoke
#

if you have one in your mod with the same filepath it should override the vanilla one, like lua or script files would

good to know

Wouldn't it just be easier to just ensure quality of players on a private server? (For the cheating issue)

umbral ingot

#

but as you say it may be overkill and unnecessary

#

I'd personally go for the lure method. Put some goodies in your item list that any hacker would LOVE to spawn in and use to cause chaos. Then the moment it's in their inventory, flag them with player moddata that closes their game whenever they hop on

ancient grail
#

also the way they cheat is by using using java so you wont really be able to track it im afraid
unless someone knows how

bronze yoke
full escarp
#

i just dont want to ruin the fun of other people that uses this mod on their public server maybe

bronze yoke
#

it's a java game with an extensive modding api, it will never be secure even ignoring all the security holes it currently has

#

in b41 mp hackers are basically omnipotent so there's not much reason to design around preventing them from exploiting your systems

ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

from what i've seen of b42's code it looks like the client will be much less powerful and you will have the ability to keep more of your code to the server, but i also don't think there's much point designing around a system we have no idea of the details of yet

marble turret
#

@full escarp yeah I didn't mean to suggest that making something server-side would prevent cheating, just that it's a quick way to guess whether a system is implemented on server/client

bronze yoke
#

to be honest that's kind of not really accurate in pz, at least in build 41

#

basically everything exploitable is on the client

#

inventory is, health is, etc

marble turret
#

Trust her^, I'm new to PZ modding

full escarp
#

okay then, i will leave it to the client yet and just look what happens

bronze yoke
#

it's a good rule for most other games but b41's multiplayer is just kind of incredibly insecure

#

in general just, nearly everything is on the client

#

i'm pretty sure the game still launches with a warning saying 'do not play public multiplayer' for this reason lol

  1. How do I have a dropdown in sandbox settings
  2. Is it possible to make options show only if bools are active?
full escarp
#

isn't public multiplayer a big thing in pz ? i just play on a private dedicated but thought it was big thing

bronze yoke
#

i think it is fairly popular but the encouraged way to play is private

tranquil reef
#

Because the base game has headings & the bool affecting options thing

round notch
#

Even if the client is more secure they have cheat engine. They can just change it from temporary memory. You'd never be able to prevent in PZ

bronze yoke
#

the base game's sandbox options aren't done in a moddable way, mods do them separately

#
  1. you can have a drop down list with the enum sandbox option type
  2. no (unless you modify the ui lua yourself to do it)
finite scroll
#

how should i properly set whether something has been read? (not page-based skill books, just filler books)

crystal canyon
#

this mod mostly works but its not ready for consumption by the masses.

#

It is only a numerical value for the drop down, then you use the translation to give them a readable name

is it me or do cars feel "heavier" now

finite scroll
#

if i had to guess they probably tweaked the physics to make them less uh

#

source engine esque

#

less flinging and midair 360s yknow

crystal canyon
#

yeah, but at the same time, makes them feel more sluggish

finite scroll
#

controls def aren't as tight yeah, lot easier to slip off and crash making fast harsh turns

I'm on Build42 but I'm not seeing my mod in the list of mods. Even after changing the structure of it in my workshops folder to what the guide says.

north raven
#

Actually I may have it, everything is slowly coming back to me, it's been a while since I updated.

do we have update building 42 tutorials for vehicles?

bruhhh i can't mod on linux especially mod menu it's just get to default over and over and over but via proton is working perfectly

#

i don't know now if even my mods works fine on windows

crystal canyon
#

yeah, linux is weird. it seems to like to load files in different order

#

i was using zorin but went back to windows 10

willow mountain
#

im on linux mostly year and i don't want to go on windows anymore but now do i have to setup vm for debuging??

#

i was crushing my head all this days why mod menu doesn't work

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

crystal canyon
#

that might be a solution

bronze yoke
#

there's some problems with the linux native build and the new mod structure right now

willow mountain
#

so far in gameplay i had no issue maybe some quirky audio that dissapears and eating 16gb of ram

is SayDebug also happening in non debug?

Anyone else have z-fighting issues when placing flat things on the ground now?

Hi! I'm trying to write a little bit of code to check if the player is wearing at least three items from a set. So far, it appears not to be working. Please could I ask for a second pair of eyes to look at it?

    player:Say("This is a custom slice!")
end

local function wearingPostalUniform(items)
    local postCount = 0
    local postalWorkerSet = { "STR.Bag_DuffelBag_USPS", "STR.Hat_BaseballCap_USPS", "STR.Hat_BaseballCap_USPS_Reverse" ,"STR.Jacket_USPS","STR.Shirt_USPS","STR.TShirt_USPS","STR.Trousers_USPS", "STR.Shorts_USPS","STR.Shorts_ShortUSPS","STR.Bag_Satchel_USPS"}

    for i=0, items:size()-1 do
        local item = items:get(i):getItem();
        if postalWorkerSet[item:getFullType()] ~= nil then
            postCount = postCount + 1
            if postCount == 3 then
                return true
            end
        end
    end
    return false
end

function MailIconsFoot(menu, player)
    local items = getPlayer():getWornItems()
    if wearingPostalUniform(items) then
        menu:addSlice("What's This?", getTexture("media/ui/emotes/shrug.png"), onExample, player)
    end
end

EmoteMenuAPI.registerSlice("DeliverMailFoot", MailIconsFoot)```
#

As far as I can tell, wearingPostalUniform is always returning false even if 3 or more items in that list are worn

#

Sorry, yeah. So main way I've been testing it is whether or not the slice for the radial API appears.
No if statement will show the slice but the current one isn't. What's the best approach to check variables as you go when modding zomboid?

bright fog
#

So here, I would add like print("passing check") after your check for the items

#

after if wearingPostalUniform(items) then

#

To at least see if the problem is not the function addSlice

#

If don't manage to get a print, that means the problem is from your check function

#

I would print at each step of the for loop

#

I would after the check if the item is in the table

bright fog
bright fog
#

That's an array you got here, not a key table

willow mountain
bright fog
#

So of course that will output nil your table check

#

You need to have each string entry be associated to a true statement

steep vortex
#

Ah. Shoot. Sorry. Normally work in c# or c++
What's the right declaration for tables?

bright fog
# 
local checkTbl = {
  ["yourItem"] = true,
  ["nextItem"] = true,
  ...
}
#

That way you have a key table

steep vortex
#

Also wasn't helping myself by having the workshop item downloaded. Making an update for a server's mod and had quickly loaded back in to check something but forgot to unsubcribe

#

Thank you for the time and patience.

VS Code - HIGHLY SUGGESTED, a community addon for Project Zomboid typing exists for it.
what, did we have an add-on for VS Code?

oh mod options? didn't they remove that in 42.0.3?

I'd appreciate if their vacation lasted a bit more than 2 weeks lmao

crystal canyon
#

hahahahaha

bright fog
#

I feel like there's some useful things like searching in an entire folder of files which I could explain too

bronze yoke
#

should probably make it about vscode, there isn't too much to say about just umbrella

bright fog
#

Yea figured

bronze yoke
#

would be a good place to write down some of the weird umbrella stuff though

crystal canyon
#

I like opening the whole media folder on vscode and searching for functions and other stuff

bronze yoke
#

not a lot of people realise the Callback_ types exist for example

bright fog
bronze yoke
#

you can do ---@type Callback_EventName instead of annotating every parameter for an event listener

bright fog
#

Hmm, I mean that'll be explained in the VSCode page then, that's perfect

bronze yoke
#

same thing for any kind of callback, e.g. Item_OnCreate, CraftRecipe_OnTest

bright fog
#

We can explain some of the typings

crystal canyon
#

I got a random selection to welcome 2025. I'll probably be in my room messing with PZ

20241230_202106.png
#

So if your recipes dont have a skill requirement associated with them, they seem to error

bright fog
#

Uh ?

#

@bronze yoke should I link the Unstable github of Umbrella ?

#

Is there a point to it ?
