Just for fun and understand programing system, im new, my first mod was the tuto flyer, and an other who add a fruit with the mod of Matusz27_Wild Fruit

#

or if i add it by voice ? adding a new voice and events when find it or pick it?

winter bolt
#

you can do this if you have access to the character

Ah ! it's a new track, I'm going to go rummage around
thx

#

Where are the crafting recipes for the base game blacksmithing located?

#

Metalworking is blank

#

Oh shit

#

I found them

hallow spade
#

They managed to organize those files, somewhat

ebon dagger
#

Ok, I found what my issue is.

My skill mods don't have entries in the the Vanilla Sandbox under XpMultipliers.

If users uncheck "Use Global Xp Modifier" then the game can't find "Driving" or "Scavenging" or "Archery" under the Xp multipliers.

Anyone have any thoughts on if I should hook into where its implemented and intercept for my skills, or should I attempt to inject settings into the vanilla SandboxVars

errant bluff
#

I am trying to add a horizontal Scrollbar to ISCollapsableWindow, and I can't?

ebon dagger
#

Ok, nm it was easy.

#

Injecting it into the Sandbox Vars was as simple as adding it to my Sandbox-options.txt

{
    type = double, min = 0.00, max = 1000.0, default = 1.0,
    page = Character, translation = ScavengingSkill_MultiplierConfig,
}```
This will fix the XP error when global xp modifier is off.
#

Does anyone know if sandbox option entries have an option for enable disable based on the status of another option? I know the base vanilla ones do, but they are not done in the same way as custom sandbox-option files as I am seeing.

golden sparrow
#

has anyone managed to create custom build recipes in the new building menu in B42 ? I'm failing to set custom entity style

Hey @red tiger THANK YOU for your hard work on Lua/Extra Commands! After playing with it a bit, I think I identified a small bug with Lua/Extra Commands?

After you fix windows using the Extra Command method, they can no longer be barricaded or have the curtains opened/closed through additional Extra Commands!

I also did this after running a command to destroy the windows too, so I am not entirely sure whether the issue is in the smash windows function or the fix windows function, but I wanted to report it nonetheless!

Again, thank you so much for this awesome tool! You rock dude!

Apparently, adding that ;5 causes the mod to break and the game to crash before start-up

Hello everyone. does anybody have experience with Radio mods? (Specifically for Build 42).

I noticed that they added english translations to Radios on Build 42. How can I make that file?

umbral raptor
#

Game crashed when loading into the world instead

#

plus usually across all scripts it uses a ; its my first time seeing a : used.

bronze yoke
#

it uses both

#

Recipe1:5;Recipe2:10

#

; is conventionally used as a separator, the : is being used to set a value

#

if you only have one there will be no ;

umbral raptor
#

aha

mellow frigate
#

; separates ingredients, : separates ingredient type from number

umbral raptor
#

why does it crash my game then?

#

it works completely normal without it but has a zero value like the image above

#

as soon as i put a : or ; , it crashes

Nice work

#

Zomboid Forge looks even mor eexciting!

#

I'm still annoyed that zombies can't be blind or deaf because sight/hearing are in the java and only accept the default sandbox options.

vast pier
silent zealot
#

Maybe, if you want to play always night/always raining

vast pier
#

I know the whole "zombies are magical creatures and don't work when you apply science to them" thing but I think it would be nice to have their senses get worse as time goes on

silent zealot
#

I just think "blind, with good hearing" and "deaf, but super sight" would be interesting gameplay.

#

deaf & blind... not so much.

vast pier
#

I mean realistally, unless the virus somehow prioritizes keeping the hearing and sight in tact, they would be the first things the zombies would lose from rotting

silent zealot
#

Although... deaf, blind, extra tough/extra strong might have some dodge-the-zombies gameplay.

bronze yoke
#

i doubt they'll do this since it doesn't make sense to have the zombies get weaker while you get stronger

vast pier
#

I was more so meaning having the option

#

eyes and eardrums do not like existing after death lol

silent zealot
bronze yoke
#

zombies had an option to get weaker over time which was on by default but it was removed in b41 because it didn't actually do anything lol (potentially did something in a previous build)

vast pier
silent zealot

#

Imagine you survive so long the game becomes a colony sim, and then the danger is having some of your colonists die and cause mini outbreaks

silent zealot
#

Maybe it targets "essential" bits? with "essential" defined as "what the zombie needs to shamble around and find a new host for teh virus"

vast pier
#

Odd comparison, but like spore creature stage vs tribal and space stages

silent zealot
#

But that is giving a lot of credit to a virus, which is something that verges on not being alive at all really

vast pier
#

I mean it doesn't have to consciously do it, natural selection has no thought behind it

#

It's just sorta, if it works then it works.

left spear
#

i think it would make more gameplay sense for them to adapt and get stronger

#

i’m thinking having different types with different strengths and weaknesses would fix that issue

vast pier
#

First week or two is zombies losing their hearing and eyesight, slowly getting replaced by zombies with far superior hearing and eyesight, possibly sprinters

left spear
#

like a survival of the fittest vibe?

vast pier
#

Cuz natural selection dictates the ones better at infecting would be more likely to pass on their genetics (mutation of the virus)

#

It makes sense that after awhile the only zombies still causing infections are the ones that stayed in tact

#

don't think many people would be getting infected by the zombies that lost all their eyesight and hearing.
So that strain of the virus would stop spreading.

silent zealot
#

Or, every host in the transmission chain is improved. So the first zombies are terrible, by the time you're at the 50th transfer of infection they are supersprinters.

left spear
#

differences in environment should shape differences in abilities. that’s why i like raven creek because the behavior is different

grizzled fulcrum
silent zealot
#

Also, in einter zombies should freeze solid.,

left spear
#

but it’s kentucky soooo???

left spear
grizzled fulcrum
#

maybe there should be fat zombies xdd

silent zealot
#

And then you get Project Zomboid 2: Road to Canada

vast pier
silent zealot
grizzled fulcrum
left spear
#

i imagine that depending on how they were infected their behavior or how they work would change. airborne vs blood/saliva contact

vast pier
#

Have enough hosts, enough time, and a low enough death to infection rate and you'll end the apocalypse with the prime condition zombie designed to infect survivors

left spear

#

Can't have a virus targetting humans if all the humans are dead

left spear
#

i’m interested in how motor function would fail

vast pier
#

Hmm brains are very expensive, I would assume majority of the brain would get autocannibalized by the body in favor of saving on nutrients.

#

No frontal cortex, possibly half the brain completely gone.

#

I could see the brains becoming more rodent sized

left spear
#

i would assume

#

but then there’s the trouble with muscles and tendons

#

maybe i’m just wondering how decomposition would affect pz zombies

vast pier
#

Real issue I think would be ligaments

#

If we want this to fit to any sort of science, we have to assume the best case scenario. Meaning the body stays almost completely functional aside from brain power.
Brain power is already a lot of the body's calorie cost.
And assuming that the zombies biting you and then leaving your corpse to zombify instead of eating you is just a game mechanic, we be assured that the meat would almost certainly have enough nutrients and calories to sustain a low brain power body.

#

Especially if they eat your organs.
Now the actual issue with this, would be the fact that they infect less people, meaning less zombies overall.

#

If they're too flesh hungry then nobody gets infected, they just die.
If they're too focused on infection, they starve, and then run out of zombies to spread the infection.

#

This is generally why slow zombies are more dangerous for humanity than fast ones.
I think the math was something like, a zombie that is 40% the speed of a human has a much higher infection rate.
As the human would be significantly more likely to sustain a bite, and then get away, becoming an infected.

#

Have them too slow, and then nobody gets bit.
Too fast, nobody makes it away from the fight alive to become infected.

#

This is of course, going off of the scenario of slow infection. Like how in game it takes three days.
If it were near instant, then slow zombies would be worse for infection. (28 days later rage virus for example)

#

aaaaaaannnnnnddddd I'm autism yapping. Whoops

left spear
# vast pier

people who don’t think about the science of magical imaginary monsters are lame

vast pier
#

Well then I guess Blair Algol, one of the game devs. Is lame

#

which honestly yeah, I don't agree with blair's statement above lol

#

There are definitely ways a zombie apocalypse could work, you just have to actually think about it.

#

Hell the explanation could be solar powered artifical nano machine virus and it would still work.

#

Zombies are usually SciFi not Magical Fantasy (Looking at you black ops zombies)

red tiger
#

I might look at it at some point

#

Buried right now with commissions and additional anticheat implementation

silent zealot
#

The bigger secret is most zombie stories are not about zombies, they are about the survivors and the purpose of zombies is to prevent things from being able to return to the status-quo.

vast pier
#

Night of the living dead probably has the most realistic zombie outbreak.
Cuz it lasts for literally a single night, and then is contained by the military.

#

makes no sense that one of the most deadly species in history (humans) which are only that deadly due to their intelligence, would lose to a dumb version of themselves.
Our bodies would be mediocre for survival without our brain power.

The only time zombies would be considerably dangerous would be 28 days later rage virus, or land of the dead zombies capable of learning and adapting due to their semi functional cognition

#

It would be like if you took away a dog's teeth and made it fight a normal dog

silent zealot
#

Humans are peak for a lot of things, like running other animals to death because our breathing rate is not tied to our movement like a lot of quadrapeds. But those ae not zombie things.

vast pier
#

Zombies would definitely die of exhaustion trying to chase a human long distances. I doubt they could regulate their temperature the way a person could.

#

In a sprint though? maybe, but their leg muscles would wear out quickly and cripple them after chasing some people

silent zealot
#

Doing laundry (in game) and there needs to be a mod that makes you drop a sock on the floor every time you drag clothes from the washing machine to dryer.

#

Also, one pair of socks you wash becomes "single mismatched sock"

vast pier
#

I mean your character seemingly moves every single piece of clothing one at a time

#

not normally how people do laundry, and would probably prevent drops

silent zealot
#

I highly recommend a combination washer-dryer. Then when you forget to move your washing for three days it's slightly crinkled instead of a stinking wet mess.

vast pier
#

My washer plays a loud jingle when it's done. Would definitely get me killed in a zombie apocalypse, but is handy for not forgetting to move it to the dryer

silent zealot
#

So does mine. I can still forget, or not hear if I'm in the bedroom/other end of the house.

#

My microwave beeps every minute once done. For hours. so annoying.

#

Might need extra body locations defined, but definitely possible.

there are one-handed gloves (chainmail glove)

And items that can swap between left & right (kneepads etc)

#

Finally getting back to trying to code for this game. Does anybody know any documentation I can refer to in regards to context menus?

vast pier
#

Is there a way to make new additions to OnBreak.lua or do I just have to make a new lua with the functions copied?

bronze yoke
#

you can just make new functions in the OnBreak table

vast pier
#

How

#

🥺

bronze yoke
#

function OnBreak.myFunction() ... end or OnBreak.myFunction = function() ... end

#

you also don't have to use the table at all, it should be able to reach any function as long as it's accessible through the global namespace

vast pier
#

I tried that but it spat out an error when I did it without the functions. Would an import to the file be needed?

bronze yoke
#

it should be fine, most likely your lua file didn't load or had an error

vast pier
umbral raptor
#

Just had an ides for a mod, its a bit hard to implement but imagine this; zombie animals

bronze yoke
umbral raptor
#

What I mean is zombie cats and dogs

#

Thats where they went. Livestock is safe

vast pier
#

probably possible, cuz we have some other zombie mods

#

occult zombies or something

umbral raptor
#

I’d shit myself if I was being chased by an angry zombie dog (one that is faster than humans like irl)

covert carbon
#

Same

vast pier
bronze yoke
#

it can be in its own lua file, and it shouldn't need anything else

#

it should be in the shared folder but until multiplayer comes out it probably doesn't matter

covert carbon
#

Does anybody have a source I can refer to for context menus?

bronze yoke
#

every lua file that loads should be listed in console.txt if you want to be absolutely sure of that, if it is loading and there are no errors in your log i'm at a loss

vast pier

From my notes: add a new context menu option like this:

    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)```

There is a bug with a new welding mask im trying to add

vast pier
covert carbon
bronze yoke
#

yes, it would

umbral raptor
#

It is not loading in-game, causing errors and there is no information when hovered over

vast pier
#

Maybe it does, I renamed mine anyway

bronze yoke
#

for this reason i recommend creating subfolders in each lua directory for your mod or at least prefixing filenames with your mod name since overrides (especially between different mods) are rarely desired and annoying to diagnose

vast pier
#

adds salty to the name of every single txt/lua

bronze yoke
#

i recommend the subfolder since it results in prettier filenames imo

silent zealot
#

I use "Nep", a habit from my World of Warcraft days when my character was called Nepenthe

vast pier
#

In actuality I just add the mod name to files usually

silent zealot
#

And WoW UI mods were a huge mess of everything-global.

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i usually go with the mod's name

also athens I didn't mean to leave you on seen when asking for help about modding the other day.
I'm out of soda so I've been having trouble doing mod stuff. (Self medicated ADHD via caffeine)

#

caffiene has been my main medication for like my entire life.
Problem is soda is getting more and more expensive for various reasons.

silent zealot
#

I like Aldi energy drinks.

umbral raptor
#

how much does it cost for u?

bronze yoke
umbral raptor
#

I buy a 2L pepsi bottle for 0.75$ haha

vast pier
#

Well I usually buy a 24 pack, so like $12 or $14 but I share with another person so it only lasts a week or two at most

umbral raptor
#

Why not buy a large bottle? Its usually much cheaper

vast pier
covert carbon
#

Does anybody have any reccoendations for introducing myself to coding? I already made a mod in the past but felt super lost in the process. Also yeah energy drinks are getting too expensive

i had the fortune of getting to quit caffeine after releasing that (likely related to autism) i experienced no real positive effects from caffeine and quite a lot of negative ones lol

#

but that didn't stop me from drinking lots of it daily for years somehow 😅

umbral raptor
#

But make sure its a B42 mod if u want to copy

#

Cuz B42 code is totally different from B41

silent zealot
#

eg: for adding a button to the car dashboard to toggle Speed Daemon I looked at Tire PRessure Monitor mod for adding the button and Become Desensatized for adding traits mid-game.

vast pier
#

I know it's the caffeine and not just compulsary drinking sugary carbonated beverages, cuz I've tried to switch to caffeine free sodas

umbral raptor
#

@covert carbon my go to is checking PZ’s coding (media file) when wanting to implement most things

silent zealot
#

I wonder how many Zomboid players have ADHD. It's the sort of game that absolutely triggers hyperfixation for me.

i do use it sometimes when i haven't slept well and have to do something early, it can definitely benefit my awakeness, i just have an overall thing where i tend not to feel most things (especially emotions) and as that's not a regular occurrence it really didn't justify getting caffeine withdrawal regularly lol

Forget cleaning the house or other essential chores.

I think part of it might be diet as well

also Albion, have you noticed that Imported beer uses the normal beer model on the ground instead of its own model that it uses when being used in animations?

#

cuz I noticed earlier, and I'm thinking about uploading a mod that's just a single lua file to change the WorldStaticModel to the proper imported beer one

#

Know any other items that are like that? and just don't use their proper model for the ground?

#

It's very noticable, imported beer is a yellowish white bottle with a black n' gold label, while the normal beer is brown with a blue label

even has its own icon

If I wanted a new tool to the assemble list- let's say I added a new pickaxe to the game and I wanted it to be crafted through "craftRecipe AssembleBlade" It's a base game function with a bunch of recipe variants for different blade outputs. How would I go about doing this without adding a whole new recipe but just expanding on the existing?

No, that was correct.

# dry coral If I wanted a new tool to the assemble list- let's say I added a new pickaxe to ...

from my notes (someone posted this in this discord channel):


for i = 0,craftRecipes:size() - 1 do
    local craftRecipe = craftRecipes:get(i)
    if craftRecipe:getName() == "InsertBattery" or craftRecipe:getName() == "RemoveBattery" then
    print("found recipe")
    local inputs = craftRecipe:getInputs()
        for i = 0,inputs:size() - 1 do
            local input = inputs:get(i)
            if input:hasFlag(InputFlag.IsEmpty) or input:hasFlag(InputFlag.NotEmpty) then
                print(input:getPossibleInputItems())
                if not input:canUseItem("TLOU.InfectionScanner") then
                    local possibleInputs = input:getPossibleInputItems()
                    possibleInputs:add(getScriptManager():FindItem("TLOU.InfectionScanner"))
                end
            end
        end

So you can try messing with the recipe programatically.

i dont think thats quite it

ill post any findings here for future reference if anyone wants it

torn igloo
dry coral
# silent zealot But it's a good starting point.

Looks like there's a few solutions. One is to simply copy the recipe and add your new assembly items, which causes unnecessary clutter and is ugly. Other is copying the base assembly script and adding your things in there, which is probably gonna cause compability issues if it overwrites the base recipe file. The last solution is probably through getOutputMapper like you mentioned, but I seem to be too stupid at coding to figure out the last one

#

I might just dig around to see if I can find anyone who's written similar code already

silent zealot
#

If you copy the recipe and add your stuff, and another modder does the same, they will fight for which one gets applied.

dry coral
#

Yeah, just a bad idea to do that all around. I just looked through a mod that adjusts the assembly list and it does exactly that 😬

#

I should prolly get rid of that

silent zealot
#

a lot of modders do that, same as replacing a whole item to change one parameter instead of using DoParam()

#

Ther'es no formal Zomboid modding school, so everyone learns by copying others which mean bad habits spread

dry coral
#

I'm definitely not gonna go about doing the same mistake, I'll just leave the recipe alone for now and work on the other bits of my mod in the meantime until I can find someone who's smarter than me who's done the code already

#

I do partially wish it was easier to just implement new additions to existing recipes.. Which, it probably does tbh

icy night
#

Yall, how would I go about adding a "saw all" logs option? They removed it in b42... :/

dry coral
#

It exists

#

Kinda

#

You can select how many logs you saw at once through the crafting menu. There's a slider

#

It's a little annoying to get to it

icy night
#

yeah, Ik. its just feels like more work

dry coral
#

It is

#

I don't know if the function to "saw all" even exists anymore in the new crafting update

icy night
#

I know theres mods like "load all magazines", but idk if that kind of script could be reworked into this

dry coral
#

You might be onto something

#

Let me look at it

icy night
#

I tried my hand at it but lua isnt my thing

dry coral
#

Although im not sure if loading magazines counts as a crafting recipe

icy night
#

true

dry coral
#

I havent played with guns in b42 yet

silent zealot
#

(unless you can see a way to do it quickly)

icy night
#

but who knows how long that could take

silent zealot
silent zealot
#

It's a timedAction

dry coral
#

Yeah then its not gonna work for sawing logs

silent zealot
#

I did a lot of tracking of reload code to write the "infinite ammo with reloads" mod.

dry coral
#

Are you nepenthe?

icy night
#

ah

dry coral
#

Yeah sorry man

icy night
#

nw. ppl just keep asking me to fix that after I added quick log sawing recipes to the workshop

dry coral
#

I feel like a lot of people ask for it because they dont know about the crafting menu recipe

#

Tbh I wasn't that bothered by it

#

Too many unmedicated adhders lol

#

Hey man it woulda bothered me too before I got my meds

#

I get it

vast pier
#

No because I think one of the only things that bothers me about the new crafting is actually not being able to shred all clothing

#

since they count as different ingredients, you can only do the slider for ones of the same type

dry coral
#

Oh yeah that one is not excusable lol

vast pier
#

Do you think adding shortblunt to the handy trait would make it op?

#

Like I know carpentry and maintenance are good skills to have multipliers for, but the cost just seems like a lot

#

Also feels weird to me that the handyman type jobs have short blunt buffs, but the trait itself doesn't

#

Like, construction worker, carpenter, DIY expert, and mechanic all have short blunt, but the handy trait doesn't?

#

construction worker with 4 short blunt on start sounds funny tho lol

dry coral
#

Would be op yeah

vast pier
#

I mean you can get max strength/agil with low effort due to fireman, and lumberjack

#

I basically never have to deal with muscle strain cuz of it

dry coral
#

I mean hey man, those who think handy deserves a short blunt should be able to have as an option

vast pier
#

Seems weird that the mechanic that is supposed to nerf game vets just makes it harder for new players

#

Basically doesn't exist if you know how to set up your character at the start

dry coral
#

Mechanic that nerfs vets?

vast pier
#

veteran players

#

that's why I said game vets

dry coral
#

Oh lmfao

vast pier
#

I've seen a lot of people speculate that muscle strain was targetting power gamers, but in actual gameplay it did very little to those with experience

dry coral
#

I think it was meant so that you can go clearing hordes as a day 1 survivor. Make the early game feel that much more impossible

#

And just add realism idk

vast pier
#

Yeah but when you start with maxed strength and agil, you can still do it day one

quiet plank
#

I'm, like, 99.9% but confirming there's nothing elseto it, Prop1 and Prop2 mean the recipe will equip them to the respective hand, right?

vast pier
#

The people who would be doing day one clears, can still do day 1 clears.
It's just made it harder for those who were already struggling lol

#

Am I one of those people? Certainly not. Have I ever actually died due to muscle strain? No, not even close.

#

I forget it's a thing when actually playing

quiet plank
#

though I use knives a lot less, now. 😦

vast pier
#

Exactly though, I feel like it primarily is affecting new players, or starting builds that don't prioritize strength/athletics

quiet plank
#

and people who like to just go and murder 1000s on day one

vast pier
#

I feel like if you get stout (which I feel you should be doing regardless) it has very little affect on fighting performance

quiet plank
#

and all of the folks complaining have sandbox settings to adjust to get what they want anyway, so whatever.

vast pier
quiet plank
#

the complaints about muscle strain aren't worth a lick to me

vast pier
#

tbh I just worry about my friends when multiplayer comes to 42 😔

#

They are NOT good at the game

quiet plank
vast pier
#

My friends did not listen to me when I told them multiple times that using guns would get them killed. They do not have critital thinking skills 💔

quiet plank
#

are we supposed to occasionally go to noob vc to help them or... ?

vast pier
#

Honestly it's fun watching them fumble around too.

quiet plank
vast pier
#

Bro I watched my friend do the tutorial, he would skim the dialogue, reading like two words and then get the wrong idea on what his task was

#

To be fair, he found out he needed glasses like a week later

#

I think it's related

vast pier
#

They've gotten better at spacing out and letting each other handle their own zombies and helping when needed

#

Just like real life

#

I do personally feel like it's better to play with pvp enabled, forces a bit of critial thinking

#

I say this as someone who nearly died because their friend broke their leg with a hammer cuz he was trying to break the car window while I was in it.

quiet plank
#

I agree, but it wasn't feasible with the old aiming system. I accidentally shot teammates who were well outside the gun trajectory simply because thy were closer than what I was aiming at.

The new system should fix this

vast pier
#

It doesn't help much, they immediately forget what they did in the tutorial.

#

Maybe the real problem is my friends don't think.

quiet plank
#

my server is invite only, so... all that's preselected. LOL

vast pier
#

Do you know how sad it is to play a game for the first time and be doing fine, and then your friend joins and they die to a singular enemy?

#

Zawg, just walk away!!!

#

I had to yell at this man to just stand there and press spacebar

#

😭

#

This got really off topic, I was just talking about adding short blunt to the handy trait

#

Is that something I could reasonably do with lua? Or does it load out of sync with lua, needing an overwrite?

quiet plank
vast pier
#

Also if whittler weren't such a cheap skill, I would definitely advocate for adding spear to it

#

Any sort of spear multiplier would probably make it op tho

#

spear's primary downside is how long it takes to train with no skill buffs

quiet plank
#

this is where it's defined.

ah right it's a lua, should be targettable then

How do you make it so containers or "loot" appear on trunks when they're not empty?

umbral raptor
silent zealot
#

That's the trait file from my custom Pile of Tweak Junk mod

vast pier
#

whats with initNepLumberManTrait

silent zealot
#

Once upon a time it was one trait, that added axe skill

#

And I never bothered to rename the function.

vast pier
#

I'm confused on how much of this is actually needed to just edit a trait 😅

silent zealot
#

very little.

vast pier
#

Cuz it certainly seems to be a lot more than needed

silent zealot
#

Sure, but the point is to show you most of teh stuff TraitFactory does.

vast pier
#

This looks like it adds traits, not modifies vanilla?

#

I already knew how to create new traits, I want to edit a vanilla one without overwriting it

#

If I have to overwrite then it's fine, just trying to see if I can avoid it

silent zealot
#

No need to overwrite.

#

Try this:

# 
local function functionWithProperName()
    local myTraitIWantToChange = TraitFactory.GetTrait("traitnamehere")    
    myTraitIWantToChange:addXPBoost(Perks.SmallBlunt, 1);
end
Events.OnGameBoot.Add(functionWithProperName);
vast pier
silent zealot
#

You wanted lua to add short blunt to a trait, right?

vast pier
#

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, self taught for this stuff cuz trouble reading documentation.

silent zealot
#

(also I edited the code after you copypasted it)

silent zealot
vast pier
silent zealot
#

yup, give that a go

vast pier
#

So EVERYONE out here just raw dawgin the code

silent zealot
#

put it in 42\media\lua\client\sensibleFileName.lua in your mod

vast pier
#

shouldn't it be in media/lua/shared/NPCs ?

silent zealot
#

Doesn't matter.

#

so long as it does not have the same path & filename as any vanilla file.

Client & shared are pretty the same thing, server loads a bit later.

vast pier
#

oh is it cuz no ; after?

silent zealot
#

that's TraitFactory.GetTrait("Handy") ?

#

(line 3)

vast pier
#

yeah, my first thought is it's missing the semicolon

silent zealot
#

semicolon is optional in lua, because why woudl programmer ever want rules to make code consistent?

vast pier
#

so it does nothing?

#

😭

silent zealot
#

issue is Object tried to call nil in ThisIsNotAVirusISwear

#

the only thing we are calling is TraitFactory.GetTrait("Handy")

#

So either TraitFactory in nil or we're calling it wrong

vast pier
#

This is the handy trait in vanilla

    local handy = TraitFactory.addTrait("Handy", getText("UI_trait_handy"), 8, getText("UI_trait_handydesc"), false);
    handy:addXPBoost(Perks.Maintenance, 1)
    handy:addXPBoost(Perks.Woodwork, 1)```
silent zealot
#

ah

#

try

#

getTrait

#

lowercase g

vast pier
#

Should it be calling the local and not the actual name?

silent zealot
vast pier
silent zealot
vast pier
#

I will not understand that if I read it 🔥

silent zealot
#

yyeah, my bad - I wrote GetTrait, getTrait is (to a computer) completely different.

#

hint for reading it: we're using trait factory. Here is a list of what you can do with TraitFactory:

vast pier
#

oh neat, reminds me of zenscript lol

silent zealot
#

getTrait() needs to be passed a string (which we know is "Handy")

vast pier
#

no error spit out this launch

#

Interesting outcome

image.png
silent zealot
#

And it will give us back a TraitFactory.Trait, which is teh object that has the addXPBoost() function we will call.

vast pier
#

It worked, but not visually

silent zealot
#

tooltips are not automatic.

vast pier
#

I thought the stat part of them was

silent zealot
#

you need to replace teh translationsting to change those.

silent zealot
vast pier
#

I could've sworn the stat part is, because it generated them for the profession I was messing with?

#

Maybe my lua is just loading after the generation occurs, so it doesn't fire again

silent zealot
#

I thought it wasn't, but now I look you might be right

vast pier
#

yeah it's automatic

image.png
#

That's a profession, but I'd assume it's the same

silent zealot
#

try Cheese:setDescription("Description goes here")

#

Found it - it does not get added automatically, it gets added by BaseGameCharacterDetails.SetTraitDescription(trait) in MainCreationMethods.lua

#

...which is kinda automatic.

vast pier
#

It's not automatic, it's just automatic!

#

Cheese:setDescription("Description goes here\n Stat Bonus") ?

#

idk if \n works here or not

silent zealot
#

before that, try

#

BaseGameCharacterDetails.SetTraitDescription(Cheese)

#

though it will probably add the existing skills on again.

#

good odds that setDescription("Trait does this good thing") followed by BaseGameCharacterDetails.SetTraitDescription will get you the correct tooltip.

vast pier
#

idk why I felt like doing that

silent zealot
#

The description shoudl really make use of the translation stuff, but it's 3:20am and it will work fine hardcoded in english for now.

vast pier
#

would just changing it to the lang format work?

#

I think it's "UI_trait_handydesc"

#

hm, nope

#

I think it's the right lang name, I just don't think it worked is all

#

probably another instance of the lua being loaded after stuff like that

silent zealot
#

"UI_trait_handydesc" get passed to something and that looks up the string in the translation files

vast pier
#

yeahh

#

Hardcoded english is fine 👍

silent zealot
#

it's a really simple thing, just not simple at 3:30am 😂

#

Cheese:setDescription(SomethingThatTranslates:getTranslation("UI_trait_handydesc")) or somesuch

vast pier
#

Ehhh the actual description isn't that important tbh, what's important is that the skill stats are auto generated 👍

Hello, I have decompiled the vanilla Java source. There is no problem to check the source, but some of the sources are not passing the build. Is there any reference to the procedure to successfully build the decompiled source?

bronze yoke
# hidden compass Hello, I have decompiled the vanilla Java source. There is no problem to check t...
  1. even the best decompilers won't decompile every file into a compilable state, some will just need manual fixes
  2. make sure every file actually decompiled, some files will just fail with certain decompilers (e.g. i use vineflower which can decompile the entire game, except the modelmanager class)
  3. make sure you have every dependency you need to build - that's everything java in the ProjectZomboid/ folder, and also a testing library that isn't bundled with the game (the code that needs it isn't normally triggered)

Hey guys! If you dont know am building game server panel for Project Zomboid, and was just wondering it's true there's no API? This true?

To access the game from outside commands you mean ?

#

I was just wondering if there was API? To fetch player information to the player manager easier but figured it out anyway.

In build 42 is the ability to replace java files added? If not, do they plan to add this in the future?

I saw that you ninja'd, albion, but I'd already put too much effort into figuring out how to phrase that

bronze yoke
#

your answer was worth the wait

muted garnet
#

And you don't know what it's connected to? I mean, adding such a possibility? I think it will greatly expand modding possibilities

#

Is this difficult to implement or do developers just not have time for it now?

bronze yoke
#

they don't want to because it's impossible to do in a secure way

#

it'd be extremely easy to make a java mod that is straight up malware

Yeah already got that setup using the terminal was just dive little better with API, but yeah that's what I'll probably do later on tbh

bronze yoke
#

to be honest their lua api just seems really bad and limited, i think c# modding existing means they don't need to improve it 😭

u can write more rcon command actually

I believe there must be a way to make dlls secure. It may be a kind of static analysis...

#

Yo, got a question. when I add traits to player midgame and they have recipies I have to manually add recipes to player

local playerRecipes = player:getKnownRecipes();
if not playerRecipes:contains(recipe) then
    playerRecipes:add(recipe);
end

Currently I have hardcoded the recipes to add but that's klinda trash cuz then between updates things can change and I have to doublecheck things which is bad design, like

player:getTraits():add("Hunter");
ETWCommonFunctions.applyXPBoost(player, Perks.Aiming, 1);
ETWCommonFunctions.applyXPBoost(player, Perks.Trapping, 1);
ETWCommonFunctions.applyXPBoost(player, Perks.Sneak, 1);
ETWCommonFunctions.applyXPBoost(player, Perks.SmallBlade, 1);
ETWCommonFunctions.addRecipe(player, "Make Stick Trap");
ETWCommonFunctions.addRecipe(player, "Make Snare Trap");
ETWCommonFunctions.addRecipe(player, "Make Wooden Box Trap");
ETWCommonFunctions.addRecipe(player, "Make Trap Box");
ETWCommonFunctions.addRecipe(player, "Make Cage Trap");

So far I go few things figured, I know I can get list of free recipes List<String> getFreeRecipes() and then just add them, but it needs to be ran on Trait (https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/characters/traits/TraitFactory.Trait.html#getFreeRecipes()) , so my question is how can I get a Trait by name? I know I can get TraitCollection by executing getTraits() on player but I don't see a way to get Trait from it

#

Any ideas?

undone elbow
#

may be TraitFactory.getTrait(string)?

dull moss
#

Yep

undone elbow
#

From the game files:

function SpawnItems.GenerateSpecialKeyRing(playerObj, keyRings)
for i=0, playerObj:getTraits():size() - 1 do
  local trait = TraitFactory.getTrait(playerObj:getTraits():get(i));
  if trait and trait:getType() then
    local traitType = trait:getType()
    if SpawnItems.TraitKeyRings[traitType] then
      local entry = SpawnItems.TraitKeyRings[traitType]
      for j=0, #entry - 1 do
        if entry[j] then
          table.insert(keyRings, entry[j])
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

da hell is keyRings

#

why do traits spawn key rings

This is probably an elementary question: if I want to replace a single vanilla LUA function with my modded function, do I need to provide the entire base game file in my mod (with my changes), or can I simply provide a file that defines a function of the same name? In my case, I want to change ISForageAction:forage() and ISForageAction:complete() to grant XP on both pick up and discard by moving the forageSystem.giveItemXP() call into the first of those two functions (which is always called whether you add the item to inventory or discard it).

if they call any local functions you'll have to copy those into your file though

Considering making it ### title ### instead, so it's possibly easier for regex purposes

frank elbow
#

Markdown parsers have a tendency to kind of do what they want within reason anyway (assuming they aren't based on CommonMark), since the original spec was not very specific at all

#

So I don't think anyone would be too mad, although those may show up in other places which would be less than ideal

sour island
#

I've only used md on github

#

hmm on github the footer line doesn't add an extra line lol

#

Probably because github likes to eat empty lines

frank elbow
#

I just checked and the original md document does specify that you can optionally have trailing #—never knew that

#

I imagine the ### are just being read as blank heading elements, which is the newline you were seeing

trailing single # on github produces lines, which is pretty nice

Mod idea: Sound lures.

Noise makers home made, using an alarm clock or such. Maybe you need electrical but perhaps you are like, attaching a better battery or maybe just attaching multiple of them together with duct tape lmao

Something that'd be nice to have for forest bases to get zombies to be lured to specific areas, allowing for safer travel or easier clearing. Often issue is Noisemakers are too short in Radius (which confused me when I learned it.)

hi so,
trying out project zomboid modding due to a mixture of boredom, sleep deprival and annoyance at holsters (starting with just a simple mod that adds one recipe for a double holster from two single holsters + thread w/ scissors and needle) but can't seem to get it to show up in the mod manager, this file is in my steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/Workshop folder so, any clue how to get it to show up? Am i missing a file or have i wrote something wrong or? Im so sorry if im being annoying i'm just a moron lmao
all the shit i've tried from my shitty memory:
reloading the lua by toggling a mod because the fuckin force lua reload button mod isn't on 42
reloading the whole game
copying files from a github thing
copying files from another mod then removing those because plagarism

every modding resource I can find just tells me to ask you guys so, should have done it earlier before spending probably like an hour or some shit but idfk i suck socially so
(no experience with project zomboid modding but I do have some experience with rimworld modding and they feel quite similar so)

you must have common folder

you prob can keep it empty

not sure then

you can just copy and send it as text dont really have to send the file

yea im confused idk whats wrong with it

sick tiger
#

i mean im not sure if this has an impact but i have project zomboid downloaded in a D: drive and not a C: drive?

it's becuase i upgraded SSD so

i doubt that would matter but maybe it does

mine is in workshop

sick tiger
dull moss
#

i don't really know the difference, all I know in Workshop it works

north rain
#

put it in user/zomboid/workshop

#

Then it should show up in the mod menu. If you can't see it, you can check if the game sees it at all. From the menu go to 'workshop' then 'upload, create item' (you're not actually going to upload), select your mod, then if something is wrong the game will tell you like sometimes there's no preview image or wrong folder found.

#

For some reason, my Zomboid/mods folder does not show up in my mod list but it shows up in workshop. It used to work like that before b42

silent zealot
#

So under mods you just make MyMod with 42 and common in it. Under workshop you make a workshop folder with a workship file, then Content/mods/ then you can bundle multipel mods in one workshop item

#

I develop mods under <user>/Zombioid/mods and move them to workshop once they are ready to upload, but you can develop directly under workshop too. Just don't have the same mod in both or you will never know which is loading.

sick tiger
#

also can't implement this becuase i am in bed at 3:17 because i gave up and its 3 am

Remastered the Mod Update and Alert system to be more streamlined based on feedback:

- No longer separate mod-alert and drop message.
- The first alert will remain a message about supporting modding, the rest will be customizable alerts per mod.
- The alert symbol will be marked red when new alerts are found, to be cleared as they are read-through.
- Subsequent reloads will mark all alerts as old.
- Added more UI to allow for scrolling forward/back along the alerts list.

The system has been remastered into a true API - so that any mod-author can make use of it:
- As before only requires mod-author to include a ChangeLog.txt (Now expected in /common/ for B42+, as before /media/ for B41-)
- Also supports the use of a changelog.md file if a changelog.txt file is not present, see `ChangeLog.md` for that format. (Suggestion: Omar)
- Alerts support programmable buttons by the mod's respective author.
- Well known sites are color-coded and override a provided title with a logo.
- Sites that do not start with: `https://steamcommunity.com`, `https://projectzomboid.com`, `https://theindiestone.com`, require Steam's link filter: `https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=`.
See: `ChangeLog.txt` and `ChangeLog.md` entry: ALERT_CONFIG for an example.

Fixes: Anchored UI to handle screen size changes.

starlit has an event that lets you add to the tooltips if you need

silent zealot

I need to remove, not add.

bronze yoke
#

good luck, brave soldier...

#

the starlit event *may* be helpful for that too but i never tried it so i don't really know

silent zealot
#

two plans: 1, I use a postfix on the lua that... wait that's no good, there is no return from DoToolTip. OK, a postfix that finds the tooltip object and looks for any line starting with Translator.getText("IGUI_invpanel_Remaining") and removes that.

#

Plan B: I create a fake battery object that looks like a battery but isn't drainable, swap that in to ISToolTipInv.item, go through tooltip generation, put back the original object.

#

I'll have a look at Starlight, if it doesn't have a removeFromTooltip it will at least have code to do stuff to the tooltip

#

Thanks for teh pointer.

In your root readMe - if you want it there for the purposes of GitHub showing it on the repos main page --- you can put a link to the actual readme deeper inside.

[Text](local-relative-path)

#

But instead of the actual change log it will be a link

#

But you can also put a description of the mod, and other useful links there too, so it's not just "click here for change log"

If your issue with it being deeper inside is related to something else Idk lol

Hi, I wanted to get one similar item from my inventory when I open the context menu on an item. This is my current code

local magazine = player:getInventory():getBestTypeEvalRecurse(item:getType(), function(item1, item2)
   return item1:getID() ~= item2:getID()
end)

It's not working currently because it still returns the selected item

silent zealot
#

Looks impossible to edit/remove bits of a tooltip, because ObjectTooltip.Layout only has an addItem() and all my attempt to look at the field ArrayList<ObjectTooltip.LayoutItem> of a Layout have not worked.
Then digging into decompiled java: Layouts pop and push off Tooltip's private static Stack<Layout> freeLayouts; you grab one with BeginLayout(), add stuff, render it, then send it back with EndLayout(tooltip) for recycling all within Java's DoToolTip(). This means there is never a time when lua can edit/remove things from tooltop, it can only add more stuff by grabbinga new Layout and putting stuff in it.

bronze yoke
bronze yoke
silent zealot
bronze yoke
# 
local layout = self.tooltip--[[@as ObjectTooltip]]:beginLayout()
self.tooltip.freeLayouts:push(layout)
#

i just get a layout and then put it back on the stack manually so i can keep a reference to the one it actually uses lol

silent zealot
#

I can't see anyway to retroactively edit layouts that have already been done, since they get rendered in DoToolTip() before being thrown back to the stack to reuse. (I assume that's a performnce thing to avoid making a new gui Tooltip object every single frame)

#

so I'll go with the "swap in fake item before rendering tooltop" idea

bronze yoke
#

yeah, now that i'm thinking about it, i'm pretty sure my code just renders again, it wouldn't be able to un-render

silent zealot
#

Vanilla Zomboid would never have a reason to edit/delete bits of a populated tooltip, they would just not put it there in the first place.

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i took a look and i can't see how you'd do it either

if not instanceof(primaryItem, "InventoryItem") then

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

slim swan
#

thanks,i try to figure it out

silent zealot
#

tests.recipe = CraftRecipeManager.getUniqueRecipeItems(itemsCraft[1], playerObj, containerList);

#

Where getUniqueRecipeItems is java

#

that list gets passed to addNewCraftingDynamicalContextMenu in lua

#

Which I think adds everything to the context menu, meaning the decision process on which recipies go in the context menu happens in java.

#

thank again,i try to copy the battery code for flash light to other item

silent zealot

If I recall correctly In B41 "empty flashlight" and "flashlight with battery" were different objects, but in B42 there are incomplete changes to making items able to just have 0.0 charge

slim swan
#

i seems hard to make a weapon to be drainable

#

add usedelta in the item definition and a recipe " add battery to weapon" the game get stuck

silent zealot
#

It may not be possible. Depending on the parameters the item will get assigned a java class, with wepaon being I think HandWeapon. If the parser can't make sense of UseDelta for a HAndWeapon, it will throw a bit fit.

#

What is the weapon idea, and can you use ammo count instead (with modified loading functions)

#

So you have a lighting gun and when you hit reload you remove a drained battery and put a new one in.

slim swan
#

my idea is make some electric melee weapon,the first part is insert battery and be powerful when it have battery power

silent zealot
#

I think you could do that by using the weapon's ModData to store charge info, updating it after each attack, and changing minDamage/maxDamage when it hits zero or when a new battery is put in.

#

Shame they never bother to implement chainsaw beyong defining a weapon type.

image.png
slim swan
#

The method of using moddata is work,i try it before, but it will encounter many problems. The battery's state of charge is not recorded in the condition, but in delta

#

anyway, if i want this work good,still need to make the weapon to be drainable

#

Bottle -> broken bottle -> glass?

#

Does it have a chance to cut your hand up on that last stage?

vast pier
#

Uh no idea, the broken bottle is a vanilla weapon

#

Normally you would just use the context menu option to smash the bottle into a weapon, but this eliminates the need for that and adds on some usability

#

obviously it doesn't remove the option, it would just make sense to use it until it breaks instead

Hello folks, I just started playing with patch 42 and I noticed that a mod I made, more specifically the Lua scripts, aren't working properly. Did something change in the API used? I added the "42" folder but even if I can see the mod, the Lua code isn't picked up. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

tranquil reef
#

A lot of API things changed

steady lagoon
#

I just ask to see if there is a problem with a directory structure I'm not aware, or there is something else I need to investigate first.

#

Errors mostly

tranquil reef
#

Well, a lot of mods were the same, it's not anything horribly overwhelming

tranquil reef
steady lagoon
#

It's custom made, not ever released. But if you said the API has been updated, I suppose I just need to go back to the documentation and update my code. Hopefully the documentation has been updated.

tranquil reef
#

Depending on how complicated it is it might be a lot. For some of my mods all I had to do was change a single function

#

The one thing I know for sure has changed is creating items on the ground

steady lagoon
#

Well, mine essentially creates a new job and adds a custom perk, plus adding custom inventory items to the character. One thing I remember is that errors were thrown everywhere when I selected the job and the perk, so I need to start there.

DebugMode does it (and much faster than B41 did! - no huge stutter on load in) so.. ISTeleportDebugUI.lua or a simialr file should hold the answers.

From the wiki itself:
A noise maker is an effective tool at luring zombies to a particular location. It functions similar to an alarm clock in that it generates noise for 30 in-game minutes, except with a larger noise radius of 17 tiles (2 more). A noise maker can be either thrown or placed, and will be triggered as soon as it touches the ground. Unlike the alarm clock, the trigger cannot be delayed unless upgraded.

#

"effective"

vast pier

Isn't the sound generator like, ONLY craftable with the engineer profession? I don't think there's a magazine for it (there definitely should be, or just base it off a skill level)

zenith lava

YEP.

vast pier

Yeah having something be class specific but less effective than a single gun bullet is rather silly

#

Engineer just feels like electrician but worse

zenith lava
#

Tis why my idea is multiple alarm clocks ductaped together basically. lol

vast pier
#

Wouldn't duct taping them together make it quieter? Cuz it suppresses vibration?

#

More mass to vibrate without changing the input energy = less vibration/sound

#

Cuz the alarm clocks in game are analog, they have bell alarms not electrical

zenith lava
#

Maybe you need electrical components to make the motor that causes the hammer hitting the bells to go faster???

vast pier
#

I think we could definitely buff the vanilla sound maker tho, it's electrical and uses a speaker

I think it's pretty easy to make sound with electricity

#

I'll figure it out and add it to one of mods I'm making. Currently it just adds 1 level of short blunt to the handy trait

Later today I'll look at the noise makers and how to buff them + buff engineer

I do think it's fine that engineer starts with it, but I feel like a magazine should have it too

If you want to add something that takes a lot of effort to calculate then you'd have an issue and need to figure out some optimisation, but most tooltip stuff would be simple

#

Like "if item:hastag("smeltable") add a line saying smeltable"

Doing a single math equation when a function is called and then updating the tooltip with that number shouldn't be an issue though, unless it's horribly unoptimized

The Water/food trough tooltip is probably the most customised vanilla one,

So I should be good

"math equation" has quite a bit of scope 😂

#

Lol yeah, but that's the math's optimization, not the tooltip's

#

Calculating the meaning of the universe is a different problem

Adding a static "42" is easy.

Hello !

I’m about to finish my first mod which is intended to smooth the navigation between inventory on a controller.

It works, I just have to find the name of a control to use it.
Like, to use L1, I write: JoyPad.Lbumper and JoyPad.Start for Start but for L2 and R2 I can’t find anything

I understand that it is not buttons but axes, but there must be a way to use them?

I tried LTrigger, TriggerLeft in vain, anyone have any idea ??

is there any way to write on something like this without being a map?

Can I somehow have both version 41 and 42 at the same time?
I want to play / mod 42 but play mp with a friend on 41, I know it's probably a question for techsupport but thought there is a higher chance that a dev knows it 😄

I believe you can

long perch
# bright fog Yea

although now that I read it properly, that doesn't really answer my question, what I want is to be able to write/draw like when you do it on a map

Involves copying the game files for a version into another folder

I wouldn't suggest using maps now that we have this system ? It's definitely possible to write on these papers, everything is possible, the question is how

Weird that it's not extremely straight forward
