Haha yeah replacing the items feels like a bad idea

#

Ok! Ill be away from the computer today but ill throw my hat in the ring soon

#

That last line there is an example of a tooltip.
Vanilla PZ guns don't tell ya what they are or what they do, so I just have tooltips on each new thing I've made that gives a short easy-to-understand tip like that 🙂

okay for some odd reason the mod doesn't pick up on 42's version of MaleZombieCombined and FemaleZombieCombined

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place but I wanted to make my own custom challenge (like the CDDA one), with custom sandbox rules, spawn point, clothes, and maybe even some injuries. I couldn't find anything on the wiki or online for how to do this, though

#

Does anyone know how drainable ingredients with type = Drainable (IE baking soda) differ from ingredients with type = food like rice?

#

I'm sure you've noticed that crafting cooking recipes using the crafting panel now consumes whole items of sugar, rice, etc when cooking, which is a big block to cooking unless you debug spawn extra ingredients

#

I noticed the advanced recipe files call for X ITEMS with the tag flour/sugar etc, which seems like why the whole flour or rice bag gets used up in a recipe

#

But I can't see why these weren't given the Drainable type so that they just use X units of the item rather than the whole item when crafting

#

Oh! Thank you, I'll see what I can find

ancient grail
hushed harbor
#

Rice, pasta etc are all missing UseDelta in their scripts

#

Gravy mix, baking soda etc still have it

#

Makes me wonder if just adding UseDelta back to flour etc would work but I'm guessing not

#

Okay I have confirmed that in 41, flour and rice and sugar did indeed have type = Drainable, which has been changed to type = food in 42

#

However, the format of recipes has obviously changed

#

But UseDelta still works for baking soda when crafting say, cookies

#

For example, cookie recipes call for ingredients like this:
inputs
{
item 1 tags[RollingPin] mode:keep flags[MayDegrade],
item 1 tags[MixingUtensil] mode:keep flags[MayDegradeLight],
item 1 [Base.Bowl] mode:keep,
item 1 [Base.BakingTray],
item 2 tags[BakingFat],
item 5 tags[Sugar],
item 2 tags[Egg] flags[IsUncookedFoodItem;InheritFoodAge],
item 1 [Base.BakingSoda],
item 1 [Base.CocoaPowder],
item 1 tags[Flour],
item 1 [*],
-fluid 1.0 [Water],
}
outputs
{
item 1 Base.CookiesChocolateDough,
}

#

If you make choc cookies, you'll use up 1 UNIT of rbaking soda, but 1 ITEM of flour

#

so I wonder if it's a bug with the tags...

#

Just wish I knew why the Devs opted to change Drainable food items to Type = Food instead of Drainable - must be a reason

#

how would i go about making an axe destroy a door/tree in 2 swings?

sterile path
#

whats classified as mega high

ornate sand
sterile path
#

i tried 450 first, which had no effect

#

and then 2000 didn't either

#

so now i'm stumped

#

unlike the fuckin tree which is still sitting there staring at me

ornate sand
#

Oh, after changing those damage values you'll have to spawn a new version of the item in.
Otherwise they can retain their old stats.

sterile path
ornate sand
#

It might be hard limited? Did you try something like 99?

sterile path
#

i'll try that

#

why wouldn't a higher value than a limit just default to the hard limit though

#

doesen't make sense

ornate sand
#

Kinda like a bag of flour going poof with one use

sterile path
ornate sand
#

Yup and like a box of cereal. Make yourself one bowl of cereal, and poof

sterile path
#

99 didn't seem to do it either

sterile path
ornate sand
#

Aurum ^ up there is apparently at least giving it a good look 🙂

sterile path
#

hope he figures it out!

#

think i figured out my issue tho... mod creator had 2 seperate instances of the item in the file, i was editting the wrong one

hushed harbor
#

My best guess is that it's cos they've changed Drainable type items to food

ornate sand
#

Flour for example does have a Tag "MinorIngredient" but idk if that's supposed to have it act like it used to

hushed harbor
#

Yeah I noticed that

#

But with no UseDelta I can't see how the game is meant to know to only take a bit of it

Did you rename the files?

stoic patrol
#

is it possible to load custom classes from lua to pz?

nop

stoic patrol
#

In Minecraft you can do something similar, but I don't know where

bright fog
#

PZ doesn't allow that

#

you need to manually install the java mod

#

and expose the functions possibly I guess

runic hare
#

Hey yall i have a quick question if anyone might be able to help, i personally have no experience with development or much tinkering but maybe i can shoot it by yall?

#

Im trying to add a mydistribution.lua so items spawn in specific containers,

For anyone who code

On pzwiki it says to use

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list["CrateFarming"].items, "TUT.Someitem");

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list["CrateFarming"].items, 0.1);

I get that the location name is put where “cratefarming” is, and i know you put what ITEM and its name/code into where “TUT.someitem” is, I.E “Base.baseballbat”

Can someone give me an example of how the finished code should look for say base.bandage at (1), i cant find any examples and feel im making a mistake, like do i keep the “” around the item name or?

As well…..for the life of me….i cannot find the item names for WORKSHOP MODS, such as britas, bushcraft, etc. all i can find is vanilla names that the wiki provided (base.plate, base.pencil, etc.)

ornate sand
#

require 'Items/ProceduralDistributions'

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["ArmySurplusTools"].items, "RainsToolsandBlades.SawbackMachete");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["ArmySurplusTools"].items, 2);

^That's straight from the lua file

table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["ArmySurplusTools"].items, "Base.Bandage");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["ArmySurplusTools"].items, 1);

runic hare
#

so i would keep the "" between the item name!!!!!

#

one last question that will help immensely!

#

Where would i find the names for items (such as we would find Base.bandage) that a mod includes?

#

is there a specific folder/file/lua that will show these per mod?

tacit pebble
#

/media/script/ANY.txt
so recipes, items, models are here

ornate sand
#

lua/server

tacit pebble
#

oh wait i understood wrong maybe

ornate sand
#

Everybody names their proceduraldistributions differently. Mine are usually rainssomethingdistributions but they can be named anything

runic hare
#

so after adding a mydistribution.lua file along where the other lua's are it should shouw up within game as a spawn rate for such item per container?

#

im enierly new to this and only just starting with coding/luas and messing with my own server 🥲

#

yall are freaking amazing

#

Not AttachedWweaponDefinitions though

#

That's a shared lua

runic hare
#

probably cause some an attachable item?

ornate sand
#

You use that one to put weapons in zombies such as machetes in their bellies, or like shotguns on cop zombies' backslots, pistols in holsters, etc

runic hare
#

❤️ ty, so should i just keep the first one for items in containers? im not to worried about on zombies 😛

ornate sand
#

Correctomundo, BushCraftTools has their machetes and hatchets in those attached zombie slots but it's a separate lua file

stoic patrol
#

what is default path of getFileReader()?

runic hare
#

im bouncing around thinking about getting this close to figuring it out 🥹

#

love how some will name the items like "base.item" such as vanilla does, then there is bushcraft and sapphs who name it "sapphscooking.item" "BCG.item"

#

😤

ornate sand
#

That's when a mod only adds new items and in the script.txt files uses the imports Base thingie

#

Like how for example my gun mod has to overwrite the base PZ guns so I don't import Base for that, I use base.Pistol for the M9 overwrite
But then again for my axes & blades mod I use imports Base because my items will be from the module RainsToolsAndBlades instead of Base

runic hare
#

can shared lua files be shared between compleatly different mods/vanilla?

#

such as ------ require 'Items/SuburbsDistributions'

#

nvm i think i answered my own question here

ornate sand
#

Yeah you can use 100 mods that all require SuburbsDistributions because they're just doing table.inserts anyway

runic hare
#

my own worry is mainly adding weapons to certain containers, and upping the chance at food items from sapphs within the world over the vanilla items. not so much looking to change every loot table 😛

just tired of constant wipes after hard work and want to start a 10yr (in game run) to start off with

#

I'm a bit new to Zomboid, but what is the way the server communicates with the client using sendcommand? Or does it have some kind of triggerevent?

#

I've seen a lot of mods that use sendcommand but there are triggerevent functions

bronze yoke
#

they don't take a specific amount of real or in-game time

How to reload scripts?

bronze yoke
#

triggerEvent will not affect the server/other clients, if you've seen it around networking code that may be for singleplayer compatibility (as server commands don't work there, even though client commands do)

I used to make a generator mimic a chosen sprite in 41, it seems this method doesn't work anymore but it does look like the functions still exist. Not sure where to go with it as it is not an item you can carry around.

#

local spr = thisObject:getSprite():getName()

                     local NewSiloGenerator = IsoGenerator.new(nil, square:getCell(), square)  
                NewSiloGenerator:setSprite(spr)

What metric system does the vehicle mass use?

#

is possible make a mod for a server that checks if the files are the same on the server, specific with the following archives LightingJNI$JNILighting.class LightingJNI.class or for all files on iso path

bronze yoke
stoic patrol

stoic patrol
#

Ah, I understand, but you can create commands, taking the handle of the text I suppose

forest flax
bronze yoke
#

there isn't a way from lua to reach these files so you can't checksum them without having your users install a java mod to do that

cosmic ermine
#

Which metric system does the game use? Does it use mph or kmh; lb or kg; etc.

bronze yoke
#

it would probably still be pretty easy to defeat but unless your server is being targeted by actual hackers (unlikely), nobody who simply installs java mods will be able to get past it

ornate sand
#

It is a UK based dev team so I'd say kg

outer crypt
#

I have always referred to the metrics in the game as project zomboid arbitrary weight units.

ornate sand
#

The weights of items are definitely kg, not lbs

bronze yoke
#

the weights of items aren't in any metric, it's not even called weight

ornate sand
#

Sure but the numbers themselves are much closer to what they would be in kg 😄

bronze yoke
#

it's an arbitrary measure of how hard something would be to carry, so bigger objects take up more even if they'd be very light

#

(except when they don't)

outer crypt
#

makes sense, a combination of weight and volume

ornate sand
#

True true, I've never cooked a bean soup that weighed 10+ kg lol

cosmic ermine
#

I'll just assume the speed is kmh and mass is kg then.

bronze yoke
#

i would expect speed to at least be in metric since tiles are roughly a meter anyway

Slap your lua file into Sapph's own media/lua/server folder and try again

ill get back with ya on that 🙂 one sec

And for testing purposes, change that 8 into 80

haha so if im trying to spawn certain items from a mod its gotta be placed within the server folder of the mod itself ?

#

just figured since pzwiki hadn't said that it was just in the regular game server files

#

then again even excel is challanging for me, so ty for bearing with my questions 🙂

ornate sand
#

Yeah you can do it to your local copy of the mod in the 108600 folder
or
You can give yourself an aneurysm or two and create a mod of your own in users/yourusername/zomboid/workshop 😄

runic hare
#

ill take the ladder and save myself some of that brain rot 😉

#

cause the last two days ive been laugh/crying at figuring this out

#

anyone who codes or develops needs therapy cause why do this to thyself 🥲

ornate sand
#

This is about day 11 of me trying to fix something that the Indie Stone broke with B42

runic hare
#

thats the error i got after adding it to

ornate sand
#

Oh noes, you're using it in MP

runic hare
#

not able to huh

ornate sand
#

Yeah you are, BUT it will take you actually developing that mod... 😄

runic hare
#

so all this just to find out ill need to develop the mod 😄

ornate sand
#

Yeah because PZ MP uses mods from the actual Steam Workshop, so not only do the mods you want on your server have to be actual mods, they also have to be set to "public" on the workshop

winter bolt
#

i thought they can be unlisted

runic hare
#

i mean can just add to the LUA thats in vanilla files ive seen, ik that add things to certain locations and tried adding baseballs to cabinets which worked

ornate sand
runic hare
#

but would mod items work technically or does that gotta go through the mod LUA files only

runic hare
#

again im still new to this all

#

welp, guess ill just have to play with the spawn rates how they are and tweak them only in the actual LUA files

pastel thorn
#

Anyone knows how to track custom(whatever) items/objects, after server reloading without brute forcing through the whole stuff on start? I mean, if we have onCreate callback on firsty created item, any chance to have something similiar onLoad? Didnt find some clues in docs, but Im sure it shouldnt be a super seldom problem and some1 could tried to figure this out

runic hare
#

which i can still do, right?

#

can't choose wherever itll spawn but can choose the chance it shows up right?

runic hare
ornate sand
#

I don't know anything about hosting a PZ server, I've only admin'd a few, and the story of why I ever got to modding in the first place was for one of those servers.
We wanted machetes to be worn on belts, and bang - I was suddenly a mod "dev" lmao

runic hare
#

hahaha well ill mess around with seeing if i can add modded items to the vanilla lua and or tweak the modifier for chance to show within the lua of the mod

its a good chance to learn a little bit of code

runic hare
#

but if that takes making a mod, i think ill just slowly learn and play it with how it is and enjoy it, cause i like computers, ive wanted to learn coding so maybe i should spend a hr each day trying to learn a bit

#

just ive put off playing so i could make my own little server for myself mainly and some friends when they are bored

#

and most servers are wiping after 1-2 months so its hard to wanna put in all that time for multipul proffessions in the game 😛

#

So uhh I need a little advice so for build 42 (I don’t even know if moding tools are out yet just random spitball) I’m thinking of a mod that would only cause muscle strain after encountering zombies so like once you clear the zombies so many tiles away from you, after 3 or so minutes then the muscle strain kicks in, this would try replicating adrenaline but I have 0 clue about modding and I’m wondering how difficult implementing would be/if it’s even possible since b42 just came out

low speed limits must look pretty silly then

you could set the limit to 1 and it'd say you're going 120 i guess?

If I use :getModData() to set moddata on a corpse, and that corpse despawns. Does that data get garbage collected and removed? Or am I building an ever growing data leak?

That is kind of strange. Why should the speed limit affect what the speed gauge shows (unless the speed is supposed to be a percentage and not units?)

#

@ornate sand do you know if your allowed to change spawn chance within the original distribution for MP or is it just not able to be done without mod being made or being on SP

ornate sand
#

I would imagine that a direct edit like that would only work for SP

runic hare
#

figuring cause immediately get a error that the LUA doesnt match whats on file

if you want to just make direct edits to your mods without making a new mod, yeah that won't work in multiplayer

so only SP hmmm do i wanna do a 10 yr run by my lil old self

just sucks cause i wanna not get 1000 clothing items in military containers when i really need ammo 🥲 damn you brita

Like okay Brita, I see how it is.

runic hare
#

i mean i get it i can really just spawn it in if i REALLY can't find it which wouldn't be to often needed since its really just me and 2 others in a large modded map

#

just prefer NOT to mess with any run with a dev option

#

but between how brita spawns its ammo and how sapphs spawns all its stuff along with vanilla, it takes alot of time to find specifics

#

but mainly its ammo, metalworking materials and the cooking materials i really prefer to find this run

So, I am sure I can look up how to do this, but I can't figure out the terminology to search for what I am looking for.

I want to grab gridsquares around the player, and I have done that successfully, but I want to make the influence, more circular?

I have a set of for loops that get gridsquares cells, for horiz = -x, x, for vert = -y, y.

I want to only target the GREEN SQUARES here (the grey square is 0,0 and the players origin.

what math am I looking for to exclude the red squares? I could make a table that exludes those combos, but that seem... icky? lol

#

you could do it correctly with pythag theorem eg. discard a square if sqrt(x^2+y^2) > radius or for a more performant algorithm with less circular but very similar results, you could discard if x+y > radius

Any reason anyone knows, of why when spawning a zombie with addZombiesInOutfit(...), a zombie will spawn stale and get deleted by the server?
Does adding a ; after do any thing at all to prevent this, as the zombies in the horde spawner within debug mode seem to all spawn fine, but in my script, spawning 1 zombie at different x y z locations within a for loop will cause a random amount to be stale and are deleted by the server.

bright fog
#

The horde manager should have some syncing code

bronze yoke

; doesn't do anything in lua, it's equivalent to white space (or a comma in a table initialiser)

Yes, please stop using it, it just bloats code with useless characters mrincredibleuncanny

bronze yoke
#

they should be in media/lua/ and then either client/ shared/ or server/

#

since you're doing ui it should be in client/

errant bluff
#

is it impossible to create a statistic of total fish caught?

If you've in debug mode and turning cheats on/off whiel working on mods you've probably noticed the extra animal info (floating text on animals) is bugged - comment out these lines in media\lua\client\DebugUIs\DebugMenu\General\ISCheatPanelUI.lua to stop the text toggling every time the cheat menu is opened:

#

IsoAnimal.setExtraValues(bool) seems bugged

silent zealot
silent zealot
bronze yoke
#

mostly the latter, but it does have a couple effects

silent zealot
#

hahahahah of course there are some special cases

bronze yoke
#

the client folder doesn't load on the server (but the server folder *does* load on the client) and they load in separate stages

#

all shared files -> all client files -> all server files

silent zealot
#

translation might be special too?

bronze yoke
#

translation is just a hardcoded location, it has to be in shared, it's not even lua

silent zealot
#

Since you use the same filenames there, but it doesn't overwrite existing translation files.

bronze yoke
#

it shouldn't even be in there but i'm guessing from the syntax it used to be lua or something and that was the simplest way to convert it over to their new system

silent zealot
#

nods just a bit more technical debt.

Aparently, I have done something very wrong.

Everytime I Quit (using the pause menu) a game after testing my mod, the save game has all mods removed.

No stack trace errors. Very fun. Anyone have any ideas?

image.png
silent zealot
#

I've seen similar that when something causes the mod loader to give up parsing mods (like a bad mod.info)

#

If it just started easiest firststep is to remove any mods you just added/edited, see if that fixes problem.

bronze yoke
#

what does that save's mods.txt look like? maybe something weird in a mod id is making it unparseable or something? lol

silent zealot
#

Then look at mods.txt for the save and console.txt for clues

#

Also, does this affect all saves?

#

If you make a new test save.

ebon dagger
#

I'll create a new one to see if its messed PRE-Quit

#

So this is the first LUA code I've ever written, I'm sure that the syntax for this for loop is incorrect. (And probably a lot of other things too).

What do I need to change to make it correct?

local onFillItemTooltip= function (tooltip, layout, item)
    local itemTags = item.getTags()
    local isSmallSmeltable = false

    for i = 0, itemTags.size(), 1 --- prob won't work but maybe might? lol
    do
        if itemTags[i] == SmeltableIronSmall --- not sure what the LUA syntax is for this
        then
            isSmallSmeltable = true
        end
    end

my debugging process would take at least three times as long without it

i mean printing is wise and very useful but the debugger lets me check values i didn't even know i needed to check when i wrote the code

bright fog

wdym ?

bronze yoke
#

from the debugger you can inspect all local variables

#

particularly including looking inside tables and seeing field values on java objects

old ginkgo
#

It lets me know things I’m fucking up that I didn’t even know I was fucking up in the first place.

bright fog
#

Like I said, do make a guide about it, really, the menu is so dogshit I never figured out how to even use it

#

I mean for me, if it errors, that means I need to check it out, that's it

#

Never had a need to look inside anything else, I already print stuff and shit

ebon dagger
#

The log is for data you know you wanted, the debugger is for what is actually happening.

bright fog

Real time tests with reloading lua in-game and done

bright fog
#

I never had a need for this shit, printing always gave me all the info I needed

bronze yoke
#

*if* you knew you had to print that info in the first place

#

half of the time that means you need to add prints to everything to see what's going on, and then re-run the code

bright fog
#

And again, sure do make a guide on how to use this dogshit interface that a gnome would have made better

with the debugger i can quickly just look at everything whenever an error happens

me too when i use debugger mainly, i want to jump to something easily and i can see everything inside of, so i can know what functions i can use next

bronze yoke

i'm definitely excited to see a more professional debugger since the current one is a little buggy and has some limitations but it's a massive help already

bright fog
#

I get it, and I will never try to learn this by myself, I tried already and I really can't use it, nothing makes sense to navigate. The door is open for a guide on how to use it tho

shit my typing is so slow... i cant follow you XD

#

The new debugger looks fun to mess around with as well haha

Sure do make a wiki page about it if you all find it so useful, that'd be amazing

bronze yoke
#

btw, do any of you guys know how to set breakpoints on tables in the debugger? i've seen so much code for it but i've never found where you actually do it

#

it seems like you're supposed to be able to catch whenever a specific table gets read from or written to

bright fog
ebon dagger
#

Now there is a LOT more to debugger. But this is a super quick overview of using it.

image.png
bright fog
#

How do you open tables ? What does it look like ?

bronze yoke
#

you double click them in the locals/object stack

tacit pebble
#

double click and you will be able to open.
for example, i clicked xplist to open and see what is inside of xplist
So i was able to figure that xplist is not 'nil' and it has getAmount() function and value of amount is 5 with int

bright fog
#

I'll give it another go once I can, but I swear clicking anything in this menu will send you to the backrooms

#

You just get instantly lost

old ginkgo
#

Lmao it’s incredibly frustrating at first. It took me a long time to parse it especially since I’m not from a programming background.

bright fog
#

My experience has been more than negative with this menu in the past, it's an instant uncheck "Break on Error" and continue button

bronze yoke
#

i had no idea our debugging styles were so different

tacit pebble
# tacit pebble search for ``getAmount of non-table` and it's all about getAmount()

anyway, just want to back to my thing,

java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index:
getAmount of non-table:
zombie.scripting.entity.components.crafting.CraftRecipe$xp_Award@49dbf3df at KahluaThread.tableget(KahluaThread.java:1667).

so it looks unusual, because it's too long whatever its meaning.
this is usually i've seen for non-table error

java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index:
hasTag of non-table:
null at KahluaThread.tableget(KahluaThread.java:1667).```
bronze yoke
#

oh no

#

you won't be able to call this because that class is not exposed

tacit pebble
bronze yoke
#

yeah, xp_Award is a nested class that isn't itself exposed

#

if you use my starlit library it can read fields from unexposed objects and you'd be able to get them that way

tacit pebble
#

oh okay now puzzle fits together

#

I want to discuss with you an important mental model. It is a means by which we can understand and evaluate risk.                                
It is called the 'Swiss Cheese Model'. In any situation where grave risk is involved, one cannot rely on a single layer of protection and protocol.                                 
A howling storm in the dead of night cloaks the sound of a zombie picking a hole in your perimeter, boards landing quietly into sodden mud and infested boots shortly behind them.                                 
It slips through a hole in one layer of cheese. Each layer of defense will, inevitably, have holes. With a risk as constant and serious as we face, single points of failure are death.                                
But here, you are wise. The infected bumbles about, sifting your fresh scent from the night rain. It has clearly learned to follow the cracks of light, for which it hunts.                                 
A gleam, in the dim. Your lights, pouring out through bars of steel much too thick for it to punch through, but it doesn't care. It sees gaps. Its hands thunder through the gap.                                
Hissing, snarling, pulling, its arms nearly coming apart against the might of the unyielding steel. You stir, and stalk towards your window, slipping a spear off a nearby table.                                
Through the bars, and between its eyes, an effortless and easy kill from behind the safety of the second layer of cheese. Perhaps you could use a third, though.                                 
Four, maybe eight nails the next day--a much lighter cost than your life.                                 
Heed my wisdom, and carefully manage the alignment of your cheese, survivors. [light, warm chuckle...]                                 
Stay safe. That is all. Next up...   ```

Shouldn't a very simple lua code like this be enough to make a crafted item have less than its full uses left? Anyone has any idea why when crafting this, the item still appears with all its uses?

function Recipe.OnCreate.MakeConsumable(craftRecipeData, character)
  local result = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems():get(0);
  result:setUsedDelta(0.5);
end```

Also what is an easy way to detect if my function is being called at all while crafting? Can I print to the ingame console or something?

silent zealot
#

print("MyModName: some message")

#

you'll see if in the LUA console, and also in console.txt

Don't leave those statements in for the release version - it's fine to print messages for one off things, but you want to avoid log spam in normal operation (or add a debug setting that can be toggled on/off as needed.)

# teal jay getFishes(), may either get fish in inventory or all fish ever caught, not sure,...

I was trying to create it with chatgpt and giving it all the information about fishing, from the client/shared/server files plus all the information that you sent me on the web. also using the simple ui library mod I couldn't detect the interface well either. I have no idea about programming but I already made other codes for other games with chatgpt and it worked for me. It's my fault that I don't know how to give you the prompts correctly.

might I recommend reading a bit about programming? There are websites that can teach you the very basics in like 30 min, will save you a lot of question in here (because if you ask what's == and how if works you'll be asking another 300 questions)

but you do you

Thank you kind sir

dull moss

all of these sections will answer like 60 questions that you might have if you never coded

warm yacht
#

Top man thank you

dull moss
#

and if you need some clarifications feel free to ask here or chatgpt, it's very good for this kind of thing, just start msg with "I'm learning how to code and I'm starting with lua, can you explain XYZ"

#

it shouldn't make any mistakes when it comes to basic concepts of programming

warm yacht
#

Wow i have never used chatgpt before i just put in the code, and has already came up with 4 likely errors, thats insane

dull moss
#

I'd recommend asking it to explain the fixes it makes so you understand why it should be this way and not another

warm yacht
#

Well its the TIS code not mine

dull moss
#

keep in mind that TIS code is meant to be working with other 300 files that chatgpt doesn't have access, and while it can usually understand and explain what's going in inside the file it's pretty much guessing based on context (which it can do good but then again it doesn't have other files)

warm yacht
#

yeah i kind of guess that.

dull moss
#

but ye i sometimes send it code blocks that i want it to explain and it does pretty decent job

#

tldr: chatgpt is a tool, not a solution

Nailed it

ebon dagger
#

So, My base assuption about adding like, a ton of code to execute on the "OnPlayerUpdate" event is gonna cause performance issues isn't it?

dull moss
#

depends on what you doing

#

why you using onplayerupdate and what do you do on it

ebon dagger
#

I've been avoiding it mostly, but checking distance between objects etc.

dull moss
#

for what reason? is it important to have it being 100% updated all the time?

#

you can also have it be on every X playerUpdate by manually skipping X updates

#

i try to avoid anything more frequent than everyOneMinute

#

this is the only code that i have in 4k lines that's OnTick PepeLaugh

---Function responsible for processing Pain Tolerance execution logic
local function painTolerance()
    local player = getPlayer();
    local PainTolerance = player:HasTrait("PainTolerance");
    local stats = player:getStats();
    local pain = stats:getPain();
    if PainTolerance and pain > SBvars.PainToleranceThreshold then
        stats:setPain(SBvars.PainToleranceThreshold);
    end
end```
#

should just be > actually

ebon dagger
#

Yeah, that's kinda what I have been doing.

At this point OnPlayerUpdate is just running math. raising a number by a predetermined amount based on a playerdata variable, or lowering it if the varable is 0.

All the other stuff, checking the distance, setting the variables on the player etc is done in EveryMinutes and EveryTenMinutes

#

Working on my own version of an airborne infection for the expansion to They Knew

dull moss
#

i mean would it be terrible if it's every minute?

#

I'd rather have slightly less accurate math and less performance strain than other way around, but that's just me

ebon dagger
#

probably not lol. I can just mess with the numbers.

#

Pretty much why I asked. I was feeling off about running the data THAT often

Is the cache folder:
[SERVER] LOG : General , 1736097038807> 10.822.431> cachedir set to "C:\Users\Kaori\Zomboid"?

Okay, I place the file in the folder C:\Users\Kaori\Zomboid\Lua\file.lua, but it is not loaded when the server starts.
If I place it in C:\pzserver\media\lua\server, it gets loaded, but it is detected by the checksum. For local testing, this isn't a problem, and it works fine, but if someone else connects, they'll get kicked due to the checksum.
However, there are still some things that don't work. For example, if I try to call the getFileWriter function, it is not invoked; it doesn't exist in this file's context. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, the EveryMinute event function doesn't work when the file is placed there, but I can handle the OnClientCommand function.

I want to load a server-side script without using a Workshop mod and load the client-side script with a Workshop mod. Is this the only way to do it?
Is what I’m trying to do too far-fetched, or is it simply not possible? Or am I doing it wrong?
Am I supposed to make a mod that uses loadstring() to load this from the cache folder?

Sorry for the long message, but I’m increasingly confused. The documentation for Project Zomboid is basically nonexistent. 😦

you'd use getFileReader to read the file in the cache directory and then use loadstring() to execute it

# random finch Someone help me understand why TIS does this in `IsoPlayer`? They are comparing ...

i don't know what specifically this is being used for but there are four players in splitscreen and only one is the instance - i don't know exactly how much of the code this affects but i have seen areas where they just loop through all players and set each to the instance before calling some functions, presumably to patch around old code that just targets player instance instead of e.g. passing a specific player as an argument

bronze yoke
restive lodge
# random finch Someone help me understand why TIS does this in `IsoPlayer`? They are comparing ...

I believe its because that's called from IsoCharacter so its checking if character object is the player or not would be my best guess. For example IsoCharacter could be used for a npc or animal or something, in which case IsoPlayer.getInstance() == this(IsoCharacter) would return false. Also i think IsoPlayer.getInstance() == this would return false if IsoPlayer.getInstance() was null or has not been created yet.

Not sure whom to ask here - it's an Indie Stone question I think. I'm updating a somewhat popular mod (furry mod, about 100K users) to b42. That's going well enough.

However I was also investigating if it was possible to get rid of the clothing approach now that b42 has animals with custom models.

But (in Java - I'm a professional Java developer) the method ModelManager#getBodyModel(IsoGameCharacter) still ignores HumanVisual#setForcedModel and just uses the default player models.

Given b42 is in development, I wonder whom I could ask to see if we could have a backdoor to allow for player characters to honour HumanVisual#setForcedModel?

Yeah but don't start with that menu imo

#

You'll just have trouble navigating it

I think it's something related to getAttachedItem.

Not quite sure what is going on here.

  • We know player is not nil.
  • We know self.chatElement is not nil.
  • We know self.chatElement has an object.
  • We know update() is a valid method.
java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: update of non-table: zombie.chat.ChatElement@11870995 at KahluaThread.tableget line:1689..

if not self.chatElement then
  self.chatElement = player:getChatElement()
end
self.chatElement:update()

chat element is not an exposed class

random finch
#

Then why do we get access to the object via getter?

#

Weird

#

Yes

#

That must be it

bronze yoke
#

not all getters are for lua

random finch

#

i just check my decompile, LuaManager.Exposer#exposeAll() lists every exposed class

#

also if you have umbrella it doesn't create class definitions for unexposed classes

random finch
#

I feel like I need to to pickup Umbrella but I keep telling myself, "After I finish this project."

it's not something that would interfere with any projects, since it's an ide extension, so you can install it no problem

I thought food recipes were the simplest scripts to make. Even with b42

finite scroll
#

what fucking piece of shit

image.png
#

made the capitalization

#

completely inconsistent

#

why is this an issue that is throughout the entire game

#

just choose one case format

#

and stick with it

#

it's really not that hard

icy night
#

Lol

random finch
bronze yoke
#

they have the entire game decompiled on github? that's not legal 😅

#

in b41 it can be 1 if the player has double sized textures disabled

#

in b42 they removed the option entirely

random finch
#

Interesting, that explains why its not exposed

#

how can I solve attempted index: playSound of non-table: null

lua code I used

require 'ISUI/ISEmoteRadialMenu'
require 'SFsound.txt'

player:playSound(soundname)

#

i've genuinely never seen a mod that supports non-double size textures and people accidentally turning it off causes a lot of bug reports

heyoo, I'm looking to code the groundwork for a server economy, useable ATMs.
I checked out an ATM in game in debugger mode, but its parameters seem totally empty, and the item itself seems to be cosmetic.

Does anyone happen to know where I could find the script entailing the ATM entity, or the tile spawn on the map for it?

nimble badger

#

might anyone know where the ATM is located in the base game files?

finite scroll
#

can packed textures replace ones that are pngs by default?

finite scroll
modern plaza
#

I think the ATM is just fully cosmetic right now lmao

image.png
#

hardly any parameters, and they're mostly blank

#

I couldn't find it mentioned in any entities

finite scroll
#

yep its entirely cosmetic tmk

modern plaza
#

but I'm hoping to find the object in the game files, and add an interact button for my own ATM interface

#

I'd just need to find where the ATM is in the game files

#

like the tile entity

#

or even if I could just find the cosmetic skin, I could introduce my own entity and texture it with that ATM

#

might anyone know where the ATM is located in the game files?

bronze yoke
#

it's just a tile yeah

#

the text after tile report is the name of the tile

modern plaza
#

I took that screenshot for the parameters of it

#

but the steam screenshot came out low quality Xd

#

You can view tilesheets ingame with the brush tool and you can unpack them in tilezed

#

You can also pull its tilesheet info with the brush tool by right clicking it and viewing which tilesheet it’s on.

modern plaza
#

its a 3rd party mod right?

old ginkgo
#

It’s in zomboid modding tools

modern plaza
#

sorry I'm new to project zomboid

#

where can I find the modding tools?

How does one add the workshop ID to the mod.info so it shows up in the B42 Modmanager?

I've got another noob question lol

I'm in game in debug mode

#

how do I use modding tools like tilezed?

nevermind I'm goofed

#

yeah I'm installing them now lmao

Is this the right place to ask for help with scripts?

Ive been getting errors all day in between editing the file. Sometimes it prevents me from starting the game because the file is messed up

#

I'll just keep working on it

modern plaza
#

I'm watching a youtube tutorial about tilezed, but it seems to be speaking only about custom made maps made by the user in the map editor.
Does anyone know if I can just load a default map like Muldraugh?

Is there a way to allow all books as an ingredient in a crafting recipe? Just like "SharpKnife" accounts for like 20 different knifes without mentioning them all. Is there something similar with book? Because there are like 50 different books or more.

My mod apparently causes thousands of errors on steamdeck but not PC. Anyone know why this could be the case?

quaint cairn
#

Ive been trying to upload my mod to the workshop but it says it doesnt have a mod.info file when it does.

Also are the modding tools from steam good or do i need to look on fourms?

I am unsure on b42 as ill be waiting

hazy ferry
#

so just create a "common" and a "42" folder and move those files

#

but ideally you'll make copies instead of just moving, that way it works on b41 and b42

#

because what you have is the b41 format

quaint cairn
#

yes i have done that

not B42, just 42

Guys, which parameters do I modify so that the suspension doesn't go so low when braking or stopping?

mass = 1490,
        brakingForce = 120,
        stoppingMovementForce = 4.0f,
        rollInfluence = 0.25f,

        shadowExtents = 1.6172 4.1464,
        shadowOffset = 0.0000 0.1524,
        maxSpeed = 295f,
        engineForce = 4550,
        engineLoudness = 90,

        frontEndHealth = 150,
        rearEndHealth = 150,

hazy ferry
#

I havent actually messed with it, but I would guess suspensionCompression

cosmic ermine
hazy ferry
#

what about maxSuspensionTravelCm

cosmic ermine
hazy ferry
#

maybe its just too much mass for that brake force? have you tried lowering both of those a bit?

cosmic ermine
#

Yes.

hazy ferry
#

yeah you've probably tried just about anything I can suggest then tbh

#

one day I'll play with these a bit more, I know these systems need some work

undone elbow
#

Otherwise you are trying to use player that does not exist yet (at the very beginning of the game).

Apparently I spent too much time modding and not enough time maintaining my generator.

Anyone know what's wrong with this?

if weapon:getFullType() == "Base.M60" then
vivid imp
#

Is the M60 your custom gun?

ornate sand
#

Sure is

vivid imp
#

Hmmm just looks like a simple string check, thats weird

The really weird part is that my function got waaaaaay past that one before, until it randomly decided not to

Null instance?

Can you print weapon and weapon:getFullType()?

if weapon:getFullType() ~= "Base.M60" then
  print(weapon)
  print(weapon:getFullType())

Can you make it so the player gets damaged on eating a hot hot pocket

im wanting to make the sound of doing something like openeing a door or eating food a meme sound for me and my friends and im wondering how hard it would be to do that for someone who has no experience with modding or scripting

Id reccomend looking for sound replacer mods and trying to see how they did it

misty horizon
#

ah thats smart

vivid imp
#

Study the file structure of the base game and also the mods

ornate sand
#

So it's not getType, it's not getFullType so how in the fuuu~ do I make this silly game check the weapon's gosh darn name 😄
