[bronze yoke]

can we see your body location file?

[whole yoke]

group:getOrCreateLocation("QuiverLK")

.. this is erm,,.. all.. i .. have..

...

[bronze yoke]

that's weird then, this is correct

body locations are equipment slots so the only thing i could blame here is either wrong body location (it isn't) or you somehow accidentally made them exclusive (you didn't)

[storm trench]

I have a question for anyone who wishes to give input.

For the ZuperCarts - Carts & Trolleys B42 port, when I fix the container issue where it's stuck at 37 capacity, should I start working on a reason to use one over the other and vice versa?

What I am thinking is a trolley will hold less capacity (example: 35) but have 100% encumbrance reduction.

While a Shopping Cart will have the full "50" capacity but only an 85% encumbrance reduction?

Plus maybe more functionality later, like maybe the trolley allows you to move at full speed with a full container, while the Shopping Cart makes you slightly slower as the encumbrance approaches max capacity?

[whole yoke]

I mean maybe I can try changing the CanBeEquipped part to be QuiverLK instead?

[bronze yoke]

oh, yes, do that!!

i forgot

container clothing work slightly differently from normal clothing

i'm not sure if the bodylocation field even gets read, they use canbeequipped

vanilla examples have both and they always match

[whole yoke]

i tried it, and i can no longer equip it anymore. It just appears with equipping in primary or secondary.. nothing of equipping it however

Im gonna research into it

Maybe take a look into the fanny pack script

[bronze yoke]

absolutely do that

[whole yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/tinkering-tony-stark-tony-stark-jarvis-gif-24567852

jarvis, show me the fanny pack script

[storm trench]

Also, this "weight" function... is that the correct function to use here?

Because when the capacity is at or above max value (50), then the container capacity is 37 (50-13=37).

[silent zealot]

Is this adding light & heat when a "radio" is turned on?

[vast pier]

56 total now.
2x2x2x7

[umbral raptor]

yep

exactly what its meant to do

[queen oasis]

I thought I took those out. I was trying to avoid the nil issue and obviously that doesn't do it

[silent zealot]

Add a print statement to AddHeatSource to confirm 1) it's being called and 2) the parameters being passed are correct

Also, confirm you're adding the heat source correctly my manually making a heat source using the lua console... they might behave the same way as light sources.

Not helped by none of the vanilla lua using IsoHeatSource, because vanilla objects that generate heat do that in the java code.

[storm trench]

So I found code in another mod for an item like a trolley/cart, and it's in B42. Why does this work and mine doesn't?

    {
        WeightReduction             = 100,
        Weight                      = 20,
        Type                        = Container,
        /* Capacity                    = 180, */
        Capacity                    = 50, /* hard coded b42 50 bags, 1000 vehicle */
        DisplayName                 = Wooden Wheelbarrow,
        Icon                        = HCWoodenwheelbarrow,
        DisplayCategory                = Container,
        RequiresEquippedBothHands   = true,
        StaticModel             = carretilla_model,
        WorldStaticModel         = carretilla_world,
        
        ReplaceInPrimaryHand = models_x_wheelbarrow holdingbagboth_cart,
    }```

[slender thistle]

For some reason I can't get 3d models to appear in game. I have them in a models_x folder within the media folder. The StaticModel and WoldStaticModels match the filenames exactly, and they are fbx files. is there anything else I could be missing?

[queen oasis]

Looks like there's some f-ery going on in the WheelBarrowB42Limit.lua

[storm trench]

Yeaaa just looked in the comments. Makes sense now.

[queen oasis]

they're overwrting ISInventoryPane.canPutIn

[storm trench]

Ahhh, so just straight up ignoring the pushback. Yeahhh... that's dangerous to mess with lol.

Maybe I can try forcing it via lua... ehhh...

[silent zealot]

Can the change be done as a prefix/postfix instead?

[bronze yoke]

it's not as simple as just overriding the capacity or something, you are hard blocked off from doing that

mods that get around it have to patch every function that checks the capacity

[queen oasis]

as a brute, I would hook into transfer, save the item weight, set the weight to .1 or something and set it back to the original weight when moving it out. nothing is optimal though

or hook whatever happens before it checks if there's room in the container

[silent zealot]

For reference, here is my unreleased "bypass all capacity limits" mod and you can see how much stuff is replaced because a few lines in the middle need to be redone and there is no practical way to do it with pre/post patching.

[queen oasis]

580 lines left...

[silent zealot]

Java sets hard limits for capacity, but it's up to LUA to enforce them.

[bronze yoke]

discord doesn't like tab characters 😔

[queen oasis]

this mod is just overwriting capacity in ISInventoryTransferAction:isValid() and ISInventoryPane:canPutIn()

[silent zealot]

Download & open if you really want to see it all.

[queen oasis]

already did

[bronze yoke]

there are limited ways to inject code into the middle of a function that you may not have tried

[silent zealot]

tell me more...

I managed to learn c# harmony transpiling, if lua has anythig similar I would love to know

[bronze yoke]

for example, you can use literally any function call they make to trigger your own code

you can also trigger code off of the original code indexing a table

if you need locals from inside the function i added some utilities to starlit's reflection module that can get them - they're read only but most of the time you'd want to do that they're objects/tables anyway

[silent zealot]

So patch a function called near what you want changed in a wayy that does the needful?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, basically

it's never 100% but there are a lot more tricks than just prefix/postfix the original function

[storm trench]

I'm sure there's a way. Maybe I need to get back into the Java game. I really don't want to... but...

[silent zealot]

What is the immediate goal? getting more than 50 capacity in the cart?

[bronze yoke]

if you're open to java edits then it's pretty trivial

[silent zealot]

Instead of replacing a compiled java file, can you add an extra one that modifies the code in existing classes?

[bronze yoke]

there's a framework for that kind of thing in development but for now not easily

[storm trench]

Yes, but... Java

[bronze yoke]

i feel you... java 🤢 🤢

you could easily patch it just with java's reflection stuff but i don't know how you'd get the game to actually run any code in a new file

[silent zealot]

Java is just C++ in a funny hat with OCD about filenames and directory structures.

[bronze yoke]

well i much prefer it without the funny hat 😅

[silent zealot]

So in theory: if you patched one existing class in a way that would trigger your code, you could use that code to patch another class. And if you did that right you could glue your patcher to something that isn't a core fundemental game class that gets changes every patch like "item"

In practice: this does not sound easy.

[bronze yoke]

yeah, basically

[silent zealot]

that can be plan B, and plan A is "heck no I ain't doing that!" 😂

[silent zealot]

I have to agree, java has some annoying quirks that start when you just want to know which version to download.

[bronze yoke]

i'd definitely wait for that framework to be released before doing anything like that, i hear it's coming along and it'd allow for a lot more interesting stuff than just reflection

[silent zealot]

What is the framework called?

[oblique estuary]

Bumped to a wall with a lua code, trying to make it so if your skill is at a certain level the recipe will give you different outcomes, but it keeps saying something is wrong with the 2nd "AddItem" line.. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the code

require "recipecode"

function Recipe.OnCreate.FNCC_Dissasemble_Woodenhandle(items, result, player, skill)
    if player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Woodwork) > 4 then
        player:getinventory():AddItem("Base.UnusableWood")
    elseif
        player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Woodwork) <= 4 then
        player:getinventory():AddItem("Base.Plank")
    end
end

🤦‍♂️ I wrote getinventory instead of getInventory

[vast pier]

(None of these are duplicates)

[oblique estuary]

That is an awful lot of variety xD Gotta love that

[vast pier]

It's exponential, I have more planned

honestly the hardest part is setting up the display

I had to repeat this process 56 times in total

1. equip item
2. put code in console getPlayer():getPrimaryHandItem():setModelIndex()
3. place item down
4. adjust item placement using extended item placement

alternatively I can spawn in an absurd amount of them and just sift through for one of each

[vast pier]

This is technically only two guns

[oblique estuary]

Yeah, 2 models and a whole looooot of textures, right?

or is it attachments?

[vast pier]

8 models, 7 textures

the way I'm designing it, these models will be reusable since I designed the textures to work as atlas'

one atlas supports 3 different stock variants, 4 barrel variants, 4 grip variants, and two receiver variants

technically each one also supports two wrap variants as well, idk if I'll add more colors or textures to that though

and then the pink is free space that can be used for extra bits

[oblique estuary]

Wait, so the atlas is kinda like a mask?

[vast pier]

the atlas is a texture

the model determines what part of the texture gets used

[oblique estuary]

How did you manage to get that done? That sounds awesome for variety

[vast pier]

which part

[oblique estuary]

Well, making use of the pink for extra bits, is that because of the atlas?

Sorry, I am a near complete newbie at this xD

[vast pier]

It's because if I add new parts to a gun, I can try to fit in texturing there since that space isn't used by the models

[vast pier]

If the variations expand beyond the constraints of this, I can simply increase the texture size

it's currently 256x256 pixels

[oblique estuary]

aah, I still love seeing things like this, customization, variety and potential of that is amazing

[vast pier]

Yeah it's cuz build42 supports having multiple models for weapons that it picks at random

[oblique estuary]

Oh, I still haven't converted to 42, the unstable makes me hesitate a bit since I'm still not even sure how to do 41 yet

[vast pier]

the hardest part I've had to deal with so far was getting it so when you crafting the stock version of the gun, it keeps the same variants

otherwise it would just spit out a random choice

[oblique estuary]

Also I mainly do modding for me and my friends to enjoy, and since 42 don't support multiplayer yet... Well, there's the main reason I stay 41 for now

[vast pier]

This is mainly important for a future idea I have involving the sprites

having them be consistent is important for me

[oblique estuary]

Hmm.. Yeah, consistency and reliability goes hand in hand after all

[vast pier]

also as a little tidbit, I'm gonna be making it so the player blacksmithed pieces will never roll the rusty variants

cuz that just wouldn't make sense

[oblique estuary]

Heh, yeah making rusty stuff seems a bit odd if it's literally comming from the furnace

[vast pier]

and to ease my workload a bit, I wrote out this lua code that adds the models to the guns

otherwise it would look like this in the weapon script
WeaponSpritesByIndex = ImprovisedMagRifleNoStock;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockGreen;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockBlack;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockPurple;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockRed;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockOrange;ImprovisedMagRifleNoStockPink,

which is unreadable and hard to make changes to

[oblique estuary]

Yeah.. I try to keep order in my codes as well, otherwise it's near impossible to change anything

[vast pier]

well if you end up deciding to jump the shark, build 42 has significantly more you can do with crafting

[oblique estuary]

So in lua I do a lot of -- to categorize, scripts it's /**/ and xml <!-- --> all over but because of that now I can finaly go back and find everything within 10 seconds

[vast pier]

do you use visual studio code?

[oblique estuary]

Aye

[finite scroll]

how can i replace a specific texture in a texturepack?

[oblique estuary]

You mean specifically sprite textures or item textures?

[vast pier]

check this out then

[finite scroll]

ui textures stored in the .pack files

[oblique estuary]

Sorry, I'm still learning about that.. I don't know how to unpack .pack files yet, however I'm fairly sure you can write a luacode to overwrite, but you'd most likely need a .pack file either way 🤔

[oblique estuary]

YES! EXACTLY like that

[vast pier]

No I meant the mark function

[oblique estuary]

Oh, the ctrl+F?

[vast pier]

--MARK: Text
it does this to your little code window on the right

[oblique estuary]

Goodness gracious 🤯

[oblique estuary]

I love you Oreos

I've wished for something like that for ages

That little trick is gonna be abused in my scripts and codes from now on 😍

[vast pier]

@red tiger taught me that

at least I think it was them

[vast pier]

oh yeah for item scripts, get the extension "ZedScript"

makes item files look like this

[red tiger]

An upgrade: ```
-- #region MyRegion
..
-- #endregion

[red tiger]

I need to complete that extension.

[oblique estuary]

I got an autist diagnose, so this is candy for my soul

[vast pier]

oh also in item files you need to do

*/```
instead of the ```--```

[red tiger]

Bro.. I spent my whole day writing a normal-form 4 database on the abstracts of Java documentation. I'm also one. :D

[oblique estuary]

I didn't understand a word of what you said other than from the 2nd last punctuation xD

[red tiger]

I'm so lost in my world right now lol

[vast pier]

Does manually spawning and placing 56 variations of the same two guns for a single photo count?

[oblique estuary]

Keep at it, that's when we get the most done xD

[red tiger]

I have to be careful. I can easily lose a month of my life.

That's how TypeScript mods support for PZ happened.

A lot of gin and redbulls.

[oblique estuary]

Hmm, can't seem to make it work

[vast pier]

show

[vast pier]

You need to set the file language to zedscript or lua for it to show up

[oblique estuary]

How do I do that?

[vast pier]

if you don't wanna install zedscript, then just press
ctrl + k, and then m.
then you type lua in the bar that shows up

note I said and then m

you press ctrl k and then let go before hitting m

zedscript is better for item scripts tho since Jab is setting up descriptions for functions n' stuff

[red tiger]

There's an unfilled section of that extension that allows for more descriptions to be implemented.

But with build 42 there's changes I'll need to make when I get to it.

[bronze yoke]

batman's one works with build 42 scripts i think

[red tiger]

There's another?

[bronze yoke]

i don't spend much time in scripts so i don't really use either one

[red tiger]

Also a cat just jumped on my head

[bronze yoke]

ah i was thinking of a different community, not batman LOL

or wait no maybe that is this one

either way it's this extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cyberbobjr.pz-syntax-extension

[red tiger]

Their uhh syntax highlighter good?

It's a little short.

[oblique estuary]

Won't that invalidate the script if it's in luacode?

[red tiger]

@bronze yoke Are they a user here?

I was looking for discord info

[bronze yoke]

i believe so, discord doesn't really have good ways to search for users though and i only sort of remember their name 😅

[vast pier]

the file language is just what visual studio code treats the file as. You don't change it to .lua

[bronze yoke]

it's @ batman-fr

[vast pier]

it stays .txt

[oblique estuary]

Alright, thanks a lot

[red tiger]

He's French.

[oblique estuary]

Any way I can get a link to Zedscripts?

[red tiger]

@true plinth Hello. You there? I wrote the other vscode extension for ZedScript.

[vast pier]

there's a mini app store built into visual studio code that lets you search and install extensions

[oblique estuary]

Thanks a lot 😄

Didn't see time, already 03:33 here, better get to bed now
Nice meeting you both @red tiger @vast pier And thanks for the help!

Hmm.. one last thing, is there a way to keep tab being the 4x spacebar as it was before on Zedscript?

[bronze yoke]

hmm, that shouldn'tbe up to the extension

you can change it in the bottom right (or left? parts of my ui are backwards for personal preference)

this should open a menu that changes the indentation

[oblique estuary]

Thanks @bronze yoke 😄

[vast pier]

New variant being added, front angled mag variant.

dear god help me, that means there will be 112 variants

cuz 2x2x2x2x7

https://tenor.com/view/freddy-fazbear-gif-25406723

[vast pier]

2 guns
2 barrel textures
2 ejection port placements
2 reciever variants
7 color variants
2x2x2x2x7 = 112

[silent zealot]

You're crazy.

Does that mean 112 items have to be defined, or is this done with various attachments?

[vast pier]

2 items

112 model definitions

👍

lmao

not 112 fbx files, 112 entries in a txt file

[silent zealot]

You can't abuse the attachment system used for scopes/mags/silenceers/etc?

make a stock attachment, a mag port attachment, a tape attachment...

[vast pier]

I could maybe but then I would need to write my own randomizer code to choose random attachments, no?

[silent zealot]

Easier than writing code to auto-generate 112 model definitions

[vast pier]

I mean the heavy hitter for the definitions is actually just the colors

[silent zealot]

but, since you've got that working, not worth redoing now

[vast pier]

everything else is copy paste

I have the variants in separate files so I can mass edit them

not 112 files

the way I said that made it sound like 112 txt files

It's 8 txt files right now, with 7 model definitions each

[vast pier]

56 model definitions

I haven't done the other 56 yet since I just made the angled mag variant and still need to make all the model variants associate with it

[vast pier]

Is there a way to fire off some lua when the player starts a reload?

And when finishing said reload?

[tacit pebble]

ISInsertMagazine.lua
ISEjectMagazine.lua

If you want earlier or later than the actual timedAction,
ISReloadWeaponAction.lua (Or something similar. I can't remember)

[umbral raptor]

i have a question. so my old structure involved having all the files in both common and 42. i didn't know much back then

can i throw everything in 42?

my mod is only for B42

also i wanted to know if that file structure change might affect the saves of people using the mod in any way

[bronze yoke]

everything can be in 42, but the common folder must at least exist

it shouldn't affect the mod in any way to move them to just that folder

[umbral raptor]

thank you so much ❤️

[muted garnet]

is there an easy way to add a vanilla trait for a certain profession as a profession trait that can't be removed, and for other professions make it a trait that can be added/removed?

[bronze yoke]

the only way is to make a new profession trait with the same display name and description, make it mutually exclusive with the 'real' one, and swap it with the real one when the player spawns

this is also how the vanilla ones work

[muted garnet]

no, i want to add the NightVision trait to the profession, but so that this profession can't remove it. is there such a possibility, except for adding a duplicate trait ongameboot and adding the original trait ongamestart?

[bronze yoke]

that's just how profession traits are done

[muted garnet]

thanks

[vast pier]

Is there a guide for making weapon attachments?

[muted garnet]

Can you please tell me how to add a trait to a character after the game starts?

[bronze yoke]

player:getTraits():add("InternalNameOfTrait")

[muted garnet]

thanks

[true plinth]

Hello, what ? 🙂

[red tiger]

Yo. I wrote the same sort of vscode extension in 2023

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Zed_Script_(Modding_project)

[bright fog]

This

[true plinth]

nice 👍 do you think you'll evolve it ?

[red tiger]

I plan to.

I'm bogged down with other work atm

[true plinth]

ok if you want some help, i can contribute 😉

[umbral raptor]

is it possible to make this script cool instead of heat?

local function AddHeatSource(x,y,z,heatData)
local heatSource = IsoHeatSource.new(x, y, z, heatData.range, heatData.temp)
getCell():addHeatSource(heatSource)
return heatSource
end

[ancient grail]

reverse the var maybe?

or * -1

[fallen merlin]

Helloo, I am having the following problem and hope someone can help me. I have this quiet simple script:

function CurePlayer()
    local player = getPlayer()

    if player then
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfected(false)
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfectionMortalityDuration(-1)
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfectionTime(-1)

        for i=0, BodyPartType.ToIndex(BodyPartType.MAX) - 1 do
            local bodyPart = bodyDamage:getBodyPart(BodyPartType.FromIndex(i))
            bodyPart:setBleeding(false)
            bodyPart:setDeepWounded(false)
            bodyPart:setBurnTime(0)
            bodyPart:setScratched(false, false)
            bodyPart:SetBitten(false)
            bodyPart:setFractureTime(0)
            bodyPart:setCut(false, false)
        end
    end
end

local function AddCureButton()
    local cureButton = ISButton:new(100, 100, 150, 30, "Heal", nil, CurePlayer)
    cureButton:initialise()
    cureButton:addToUIManager()
end

Events.OnGameStart.Add(AddCureButton)

And it seems to work. So it creates a little "Heal" button and the wounds I had were cured as well as the queasy moodle. But after some time, the queasy moodle reappears. Also I noticed my Stress value going slightly up even when just sitting in a base without bad moodles or traits that could cause Stress to increase. This lets me believe that I didnt cure the zombification infection and so I thought maybe someone of the more experienced modders here knows, if I did miss a method, which actually cures the knox infection.

Thank you in advance 🙂

[fleet bridge]

Are you setting infection level to zero as well?

[fallen merlin]

I thought setInfected(false) would eliminate the infection and the level would therefore be irrelevant.

I added the like so it looks like this now:

        player:getBodyDamage():setInfected(false)
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfectionMortalityDuration(-1)
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfectionTime(-1)
        player:getBodyDamage():setInfectionLevel(0)

Will try it out quickly

[umbral raptor]

didnt work. i think isoheatsource is hardcoded to heat only.

[heady glen]

hi anyone here can tell if it would be possible by modding to get data of closest tiles. or at least all visible tiles or all currently loaded tiles to memory or something like this?

[ancient grail]

what are you trying to do anyways? you might achieve the same result without using that kind of aproach, check out how campfire adds heat or maybe how player heat stats changes or something indirectly related to what you want to use this function for

[umbral raptor]

one sec

[heady glen]

or at least show me where i can find this kind of info

[umbral raptor]

this is code for a heater

@ancient grail

[fallen merlin]

I am getting an Exception (java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: getBodyPart of non-table: null) at this line:
local bodyPart = bodyDamage:getBodyPart(BodyPartType.FromIndex(i))

I think I maybe use the BodyDamage wrong. I am new to Lua, but I saw that BodyDamage has a List BodyParts and I thought this would be the way to reference it in my script

[ancient grail]

you want to add heat to radio? interesting. i think i need the code for adding heat too... maybe
another idea is to spawn an object that produces heat and just modify the sprite maybe

[torn igloo]

What event immediately comes after OnInitGlobalModData?

[ancient grail]

get the object then check for getSprite()

[fleet bridge]

It's not by body parts

It's body damage

[bright fog]

I feel like it would be better to have everything in the same extension and not 2 different extensions that will clash between each others

[fleet bridge]

your index might start from 0 and not 1

[fallen merlin]

Tbh it frustrates me a bit that there is not a lot documentation haha

[fleet bridge]

java arrays start from 0

[fallen merlin]

No I know that haha

I just answered to ping you haha. I can actually program in Java, Python (have a cs degree), but yes the modding stuff is new for me

[sour island]

The wiki has been getting a lot of updates (big shout-out to @bright fog for getting the ball rolling on that front)

There's also #1125248330595848192

[fallen merlin]

Yeah it is just pretty big and some things have to be found out by yourself (our I just missed some smt). For example:

        local bodyParts = player:getBodyDamage():getBodyParts()
        for i = 0, bodyParts:size() - 1 do
            local part = bodyParts:get(i)
            part:setBleeding(false)
            part:setDeepWounded(false)
            part:setBurnTime(0)
            part:setScratched(false, false)
            part:SetBitten(false)
            part:setFractureTime(0)
            part:setCut(false, false)
        end

This makes total sense to me, but I didnt expect the BodyParts to be in BodyDamage. And what's was rly frustrating was the SetBitten method. For some reason all methods seem to be set..., only SetBitten starts with an capitalized S. Maybe this is part of Lua's language, but yes took me a while

Btw I dont rly know if this loop now works

It doesnt throw an error at least, but the Stress level is still rising

[sour island]

Some of the codebase is 10+ years old, I imagine a lot of it is in systems related to player health and stats. Some of the naming conventions are not easy to follow.

If you use an IDE I suggest looking into the Umbrella tool which auto-generates functions as you type. Also, having a copy of the decompiled code so you can jump around and look at inner workings. Sometimes you'll figure out the best route to take by reading through java.

[bright fog]

You should be fine to learn modding then

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Lua_(API)

I suggest checking this out

[silent zealot]

Umbrella & a vscode
Instance pointed to media (for searching lua/scripts) and a vscode instance pointed to decompiled java has been a massive help with my modding.

[silent zealot]

You just need to accept that the codebase is full of jank and post the best jank here so we can all laugh/cry with you.

[umbral raptor]

if item:hasID("SupportCorps.X) then

How do i correctly ask for an item ID?

idk if this is correct

[ancient grail]

you mean getFullType()
?

like Base.Apple

@umbral raptor

[umbral raptor]

yeah, i want my code to detect a certain item

when its used

[heady glen]

i wrote my first script for mod and i want to see if it works

how do imake something appear in ingame console

like you know print( or something)

[drifting ore]

You can use print(variable)

[heady glen]

ahh okay

then my script dont work xD

[drifting ore]

Any errors? You can share the script here if you'd like

[heady glen]

well this is my code

    local player = getPlayer()
    if not player then return end
    
    local px, py, pz = player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ()
    local range = 3
    
    print("tilez mod")
    
    for x = px - range, px + range do
        for y = py - range, py + range do
            local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, pz)
            if square then
                print(string.format("Tile (%d, %d, %d):", x, y, pz))
                
                print(" - Is solid:", square:isSolid())
                

            end
        end
    end
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(logNearbyTiles)

i did activated the mod in menu

i look for anything in this console

but cant even see "tilez mod"

technically it should spam whole console with "tilez mod" and bunch of other stuf each tick

a lol i think its because this uncommented text i pasted with local player xd

[drifting ore]

https://cheatography.com/ambigious/cheat-sheets/lua-string-format/

I think lua requires more than just print("string")

Unless it was
print(stringVariable)

[heady glen]

aa its actually the code xd sceond line

seems like my mod isnt even running

local function logNearbyTiles()
    local player = getPlayer()
    local xdd = 0;
    print("tilez mod")
    print(player)
    print(xdd)
    if not player then return end
    
    local px, py, pz = player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ()
    local range = 3
    
    
    for x = px - range, px + range do
        for y = py - range, py + range do
            local square = getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, pz)
            if square then
                print(string.format("Tile (%d, %d, %d):", x, y, pz))
                
                print(" - Is solid:", square:isSolid())
                

            end
        end
    end
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(logNearbyTiles)

i did this and cant see any of these even if the prints are on top

[undone elbow]

First, try to test the simplest mod if it works in general:

print("i'm alive")

If it works, there is a syntax error in the previous code.
If it doesn't work, well, enable the mod somehow.

[heady glen]

do i have to restart zomboid anything i change code?

so i made an file with print("i'm alive") only

and still cant see anything

[undone elbow]

Lua code will definitely be updated if you exit to the main menu.

[heady glen]

i tested print("test") in console and it worked so i know how it works

LOG: General

[undone elbow]

See console.txt, not console in game

[heady glen]

nothing

[undone elbow]

i.e. 1) edit 2) exit to main menu 3) see console.txt

[heady glen]

i searched by alive word and in whole file no such word

althrough i see

LOG : Mod , 1741273894184> loading scan_tiles_mod

[undone elbow]

So your lua file is not loading. What is your file structure? Where is the file?

[umbral raptor]

is heatsource hard coded to never go below room tempreture?

and is it possible to override this?

[umbral raptor]

is this for B42 or B41?

[heady glen]

official

i just downloaded from steam

no beta

[undone elbow]

must be tengo/Zomboid/mods/ScanTilesMod/media/lua/client/scan.lua

for B41

[heady glen]

so in 42 its good?

like it is?

is this 42?

[undone elbow]

this is 42

@heady glen https://pzwiki.net/wiki/File_structure

[heady glen]

so media/lua?

[undone elbow]

yes

media/lua/client/

[heady glen]

ok imma give it a try

[naive fox]

Guys, I'm stepping into PZ modding, but one thing that isn't clear to me.

What's the best way to debug code and test it in game? It sucks to have to restart the game to test code

[undone elbow]

Going to main menu resets lua. Also press F11 in debug mode and see what you have there. ||You can reload a lua file in active game||

[umbral raptor]

aint no way around it, lua and models can be changed ig tho

not model scripts tho

[naive fox]

I'll mostly be doing lua scripts, which I'll have to reload pretty often to test things out.

Can I reliably do that with the F11 screen?

[undone elbow]

Yes

[naive fox]

Thank you~ lastly, what's the best way to catch and identify errors?

Does F11 show them?

[undone elbow]

console.txt

in C:\Users\user\Zomboid

[naive fox]

Aahhh, I see. It updates in realtime?

As in, I don't need to quit the game?

[undone elbow]

You can track it while in game

[naive fox]

Awesome. Thank you. You've been great help (:

[umbral raptor]

how do i reload lua through F11?

if the file isn't there

like no errors occured

[undone elbow]

Double click the filename (I guess, not sure)

[undone elbow]

It should be there if your mod is enabled

@umbral raptor btw how do you get the builder tag here? Your questions sound like you just started creating your first mod.

[umbral raptor]

i dont mod lua haha. i mostly do items, clothes, simple lua like loot distribution, etc.

idk how i got the builder tag

@undone elbow do u know LUA? could i ask u some things?

[undone elbow]

I know LUA. It's the simplest programming language and it takes 15 minutes to learn it completely. But most of the questions are not about lua, but about the game API.

[umbral raptor]

true

but i do lots of LUA syntax issues haha

thats the problem

[undone elbow]

Learn it 🙂

[umbral raptor]

trying, nobody starts a master man

im learning it from looking at other mods

[undone elbow]

Google "lua in 15 minutes". Let's say it will take 1-2 hours max.

[umbral raptor]

ight man

[true plinth]

sure, i'm agree, that's why i offer my help if needed.

[torn igloo]

What does negative value in distribution does? Doesn't spawn or still spawn?

[umbral raptor]

can someone help me fix this?

im trying to override zomboid's base-game heat source capping

[quiet glacier]

Does anyone know where the vanilla Nailgun files are located?

[bronze yoke]

no: to calculate the heat the game just calculates the hottest thing in range, so making it cold will just result in air temperature instead

[umbral raptor]

yeah i think i found a way to override it

but for some reason it sets the entire world to being cold lmao

i suck at programming

[twin lintel]

any suggestions on how to start learning how to create mods?

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding

[naive fox]

Guys, how do you access fields that don't have built in getters?

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/iso/areas/IsoBuilding.html

like if I wanted to access the Windows vector here

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Lua_(API)#Accessing_fields

[sly ivy]

uh, sorry but anyone know how to fix this?

[bright fog]

That's the first time I've ever seen any bug like that lol

What did you do ?

That's your model which is broken I bet ?

[sly ivy]

i dont know

https://tenor.com/view/cry-crying-cat-crying-cat-cry-why-gif-27571714

[bright fog]

We can't help you if you literally give ZERO detail

Explain your situation or we literally can't do shit for you

[sly ivy]

thats not entirely true,

i was asking if anyone has any ideas on how to fix that,
not if people know the exact fix,

or what the cause may be

[bright fog]

It is, you're getting a bug which I've never seen in my entire life

• are you developping a mod ? Updating one ?
• what's the mod

You can literally give so much detail

That's not a common problem what you just shared

[sly ivy]

how was i supposed to know?

and i'd appreciate if you were a little less rude

[bright fog]

I asked two questions, clearly pointing to you needing to give more detail. When you share a problem you have, giving as much detail as you can on the situation is necessary if you expect anyone to be able to help you

Sometimes, an image doesn't give enough informations, like in your case

I can only guess your problem involves an item in hands, and that's it

[sly ivy]

you asked "what did you do" and said "bet your model is broken"
before saying
"i cant help you if you dont tell me shit",

[bright fog]

• how did you get in this situation
• what mod are you developping
• is the item a weapon ?

[bright fog]

???

[sly ivy]

and tbh dude you kinda put me off asking for help from you

[sly ivy]

that, my friend, is called attempting to be funny

[bright fog]

That's the second time I asked you these kind of questions to possibly help you more. You didn't put a single effort in giving more informations. You don't want my help ? Fine then

[sly ivy]

eh, you came off condescending

so im just gonna end this n say goodbye

[naive fox]

Has anyone worked with the getWindows() function in IsoRoom?

It's supposed to be a vector of windows in a given room. I'm trying to do something with it, but it's always empty

[queen oasis]

how is room defined?

[sly ivy]

is size supposed to just be a run command?

[naive fox]

getPlayer():getCurrentSquare():getRoom()

[naive fox]

It's an array thing that returns the size of the array. Vector is a sort of array in this case

[queen oasis]

let me dig in my code, I know I ran in to some issues with it, especially E and S windows

[sly ivy]

ahhh, and, thanks for teaching me something new, hope it goes well

[bright fog]

Be wary that sometimes, some arrays that you can access are actually not even used by the game

That's notably the case for methods that involve retrieving the list of buildings in the player cell

I don't know if that's the case here however

[naive fox]

That's kind of what I'm suspecting here. It seems like IsoBuilding and IsoRoom stuff are mostly used during initial generation only

[bronze yoke]

there's also something really weird with vectors

[bright fog]

Also you said it gives out a vector ?

Bcs I checked getWindows and it gives an ArrayList

    public ArrayList<IsoWindow> getWindows() {
        return this.Windows;
    }

Doesn't look like that's mentioned a lot

[naive fox]

Ahh, yeah. You're right. I confused it with "Windows" field in IsoBuilding

[bright fog]

Hmm nvm

It should have windows

I think

[naive fox]

but anyhow, IsoRoom:getWindows() still says it's 0 when I enter a room

[bronze yoke]

this array is unused

nothing ever adds to it

[naive fox]

Jesus

[bright fog]

You sure ?

[queen oasis]

yea I was trying to figure out why I had this code for windows if it was easy

[bronze yoke]

these are the only usages

the getter is never called

[bright fog]

Ah yeah you need to get the vector from the building I feel like

[naive fox]

I tried, but it's a field without a getter. I checked out the link you sent and gave it a try but couldn't figure out how to get the field

[bronze yoke]

if you don't mind adding a dependency starlit library makes it pretty straightforward

[bright fog]

Yeah

[bright fog]

You basically just use the function in the page

[naive fox]

I'll give that a go. Is it possible to check if the Windows vector is actually used in IsoBuilding?

[umbral raptor]

could someone decompile a java file for me?

[queen oasis]

I ended up grabbing the room squares, looping through and checking the square for an IsoWindow. You have to check south and east also because those windows are technically outside. Don't know if that's the right way to do it though

[bright fog]

Can you not ? 😅

[bright fog]

I think it is

[bronze yoke]

there are code usages

[umbral raptor]

why? haha

[bronze yoke]

can't promise that means it actually runs but it's not a 'definitely not' situation

[bright fog]

I mean idk, why do you not decompile the java ?

[naive fox]

Alright, thanks guys. I'll give your suggestions a go.

[umbral raptor]

how can i do it then?

[bright fog]

Worst case scenario that works yeah

[bright fog]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Decompiling_game_code

There's a single click decompiler made by Albion in there

[umbral raptor]

awesome

[bright fog]

You just click it and boom files are decompiled

[umbral raptor]

thats amazing

thanks

[queen oasis]

that reminds me, I need to decompile 42.4...

[bright fog]

Me too lol

But I'm not modding rn

[queen oasis]

if you ain't modding, you ain't living right

[bright fog]

Nah mate, when I mod I mod a fuck ton don't worry lol

But I'm busy these days, I focused making documentation for the wiki

[umbral raptor]

its so weird that the game uses so many different codes and languages lmao

and they all work together somehow

[queen oasis]

the wiki is looking phenomenal

[umbral raptor]

like it uses lua, it uses whatever the fuck scripting is, it uses java.

[bright fog]

I already have a mod which is pratically finished, just not getting motived by continuying work on it because I need tiles and I'm absolutely not an artist

[bright fog]

Scripting is something custom made by the devs

For some reasons lol

[bronze yoke]

and also does not qualify for the definition of the term 'scripting' 😭

[bright fog]

Yeaaah, you're basically defining tables of objects in a way

[umbral raptor]

yeah it allowed modding. if i had to mod items in lua or smthin i wouldnt have touched modding haha.

[bright fog]

The same could have literally been done in Lua I feel like, by literally just having tables that are your objects ?

It would have made it easier for people to learn Lua a tiny bit to get used to some basic formatting for it

Would also allow soooo much to be done on script entries

[umbral raptor]

not sure how it'd be done, i dont know much about lua, but everytime i touch the lua file while modding i always end up producing garbage code lol

[bronze yoke]

zedscript predates the game having lua scripting

[bright fog]

Yeah

[bronze yoke]

it also was actually a scripting language originally

[bright fog]

That was my guess

If all was made in Lua you could directly modify any existing scripts, expand them and shit

Without the need for the shitty methods to modify existing scripts that we currently have and that do the bare minimum

Would allow for easier compatibility basically

[bronze yoke]

i don't really like things like that being defined in code but i wish they had gone with a different name than 'scripts' and ideally a more standard format like json or something

[bright fog]

Yeah

[umbral raptor]

but u could do both scripting and lua lol

[bright fog]

What do you mean ?

[umbral raptor]

i mean that you can set up your item fully in scripts and add the additional functions in lua

like the oncreate, oneat, etc etc

thats the simple stuff

[bright fog]

Or just directly have everything in Lua so you can literally do anything on items

I see how defining things in the script files in Lua files could cause some issues, but it would bring actually soooooo much to the game

Would make everyone's lifer easier in so many ways

And tbf that's basically what distribution is rn, it's purely Lua based

[umbral raptor]

what could it allow u to make if that were to happen?

that isn't possible right now

[bright fog]

Tell me, how do you modify any scripts right now ?

Overwriting will cause incompatibilities

[umbral raptor]

change a value, add an item script/command?

[bright fog]

Yea

[umbral raptor]

maybe having the ability to add in our own commands would be cool

if it isn't already there

[bright fog]

You need to go through a few Java objects which involve getting the script object, and you are limited by the methods defined for that object

If you define custom entries in the scripts of your items, you are fucked because the game by default adds custom entries to the mod data of every single items

So you end up having to use lookup tables for your items, instead of directly accessing the item script data which could hold your custom entries directly

You could automate the creation of items based on conditions because it would use tables that you could repeat

You could create items based on sandbox options directly

Dynamically create items

There's a looooooooot of shit you can do with defining items in the Lua

You want to change values based on if another mod is activated ? You need to go through the script java object while you could directly set values based on conditions from the Lua

And let's not mention any new scripting added by the devs, like the craftRecipe which sometimes lack java methods to modify those

You're basically entirely depend on the devs actually adding the methods

While if scripts were just tables in the lua, you could directly access anything and modify anything

[naive fox]

(and hoping the methods actually do what they're supposed to)

[bronze yoke]

there'd be performance implications if they were kept in lua

[bright fog]

Yeah that's why I see why there could be problems

[bronze yoke]

in b41 they had to rewrite the loot system in java since accessing the loot tables just had so much overhead

[bright fog]

I agree at the minimum using json could improve things a bit

[bronze yoke]

if scripts were lua that exact problem would come back but worse (they have to check like a hundred script properties to instance an item)

[bright fog]

Yeah

They would still need to bring the things java side

But at this point isn't the problem just Kahlua ?

[umbral raptor]

the decompiler wont work 😦

cant run it neither by clicking or by command line

[bright fog]

You're not in the folder with the jar file

Wait

Yeah I think that's the reason ?

[bronze yoke]

apparently that's what unable to access jarfile means

[umbral raptor]

i am

[bright fog]

Welp, Albion should be able to help you better than me here

[umbral raptor]

i have it open

[bright fog]

wdym open ?

[bronze yoke]

not really, i don't use java 😭

[umbral raptor]

if anyone can help i just need the decompiled isoheatsource

[queen oasis]

the path after should be your path to the ProjectZomboid folder?

[bright fog]

Nah you'll decompile the files

That will make your life way easier

[umbral raptor]

oh

[queen oasis]

I just did this and I can't remember for sure but I think so

[bright fog]

Where is your ZomboidDecompiler.jar file ?

[umbral raptor]

documents

[bright fog]

Then you're in the wrong folder

[bronze yoke]

this project was only written in java since it needed to interface with stuff that was already in java, i don't have much experience with actually using java

[bright fog]

You need to do

cd "folder/with/the/jar/file"

[queen oasis]

whereever the ZomboidDecompiler.jar is, you need to nav to that folder with cmd, and then run that command with your zomboid folder

[bronze yoke]

you can also just open the folder in file explorer, put cmd into the address bar and press enter

that'll open cmd to that folder

[bright fog]

What ?

[bronze yoke]

try it 🤷‍♀️

[bright fog]

I just did

That doesn't do that

[bronze yoke]

what os are you on?

[bright fog]

Windows

[queen oasis]

works for me

[bronze yoke]

which version

[bright fog]

10

[bronze yoke]

cdm?

[bright fog]

ups

Lol

Yeah that works

Such a silly mistake

[bronze yoke]

i was a little afraid for a second that one of the many weird things i installed to edit file explorer added it 😅

[bronze yoke]

it can only guess your game directory if it's in very specific places (i can probably ask the registry for steam's location but i haven't looked into that yet), you'll have to pass the path to the ProjectZomboid folder

e.g. for me java -jar ZomboidDecompiler.jar "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid"

[bright fog]

You're still not in the folder with your jar file 😭

[umbral raptor]

got it to work

[umbral raptor]

i moved it to the zomboid files dw haha

while trying to get it to work

[bright fog]

💀

[umbral raptor]

does it say when its done?

[frank elbow]

wt opens the newer terminal but idt the explorer trick works without modification (some setting had to be changed somewhere iirc, but I don't remember where)

Which sucks

[bright fog]

newer terminal ?

[frank elbow]

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

Newer only in the comparative sense (which is the only sense but you know what I mean); this has been around for a few years now

[bronze yoke]

i had no idea it was open source

[frank elbow]

Some of those issues are a fun read

There was drama a whiiiiile back when someone called out inefficient code, it led to some unnecessarily heated exchange & ultimately they demonstrated a better way to do it by rolling a basic terminal

[queen oasis]

Deciphered what I had from before and rolled it in to one function to find all windows in a room. Returns window objects in a table.

function JB_ASSUtils.GetWindowsInRoom(playerObj)
    local windows = {}
    local roomSquares = playerObj:getSquare():getRoom():getSquares()
    for i = 1, roomSquares:size() -1 do
        local square = roomSquares:get(i)
        local south = square:getS()
        local east = square:getE()
        if square:getWindow() then
            table.insert(windows, square:getWindow())
        elseif square:isWindowTo(south) then
            table.insert(windows, south:getWindow())
        elseif square:isWindowTo(east) then
            table.insert(windows, east:getWindow())
        end
    end
    -- print("I found " .. tostring(#windows) .. " windows in this room.")
    return windows
end

[frank elbow]

Nice. Open to feedback?

[queen oasis]

absolutely, but I know it's a mess

[frank elbow]

One way to improve it would be to reduce repetition; you're calling roomSquares:get(i) quite a lot, which means unnecessarily repeating the process of getting that element. You could assign the result to a variable and then operate on that instead (local square = roomSquares:get(i), then use square in its place after that point)

[umbral raptor]

http://www.javadecompilers.com/

found this

works far better than any of those decompilers

lol

[frank elbow]

What works better?

Pretty sure albion's is built on a fork of fernflower & certainly improves some of its output, as someone who has used both

[queen oasis]

and I'm out

[bright fog]

You seem to be confused about the point of the decompilers in the wiki page

[umbral raptor]

yeah probably lol

[naive fox]

Oh damn! I'm gonna give this a go

[bright fog]

They make the decompiled code better to read

What problem do you have with the decompiling rn ?

[bright fog]

Didn't you say it worked ?

[bright fog]

Simply open the output folder as a VSCode workspace

[naive fox]

If what I'm trying turns into a mod, I'm gonna name is Microsoft, on account of all the windows chasing I've been doing

[umbral raptor]

there is no output folder

it gives u the code as text in the website

[bright fog]

Jesus don't use that

[bright fog]

Please just don't do it from within the game files ....

[frank elbow]

He's talking about ZomboidDecompiler

[bright fog]

Ik

[frank elbow]

...you are the "he"

Of course you know lol

[bright fog]

Oh sorry lol

[naive fox]

@umbral raptor

Put the jar file in an empty folder.

If you have PZ installed on a different drive, use the instructions for "other" and feed it the directory of your PZ installation.

[bright fog]

It's seriously just a singular double click

But you need java installed, it should be explained in the wiki page

[naive fox]

Nope, double click hadn't worked for me either. If the game is not on your C drive, it doesn't find it

[bright fog]

Yes

Ofc

[queen oasis]

mines on E: and it works fine my reading skills need work

[bright fog]

np lol

[queen oasis]

I think the directions for ZomboidDecompiler are pretty straight forward though

[bronze yoke]

D: drive works fine too, as long as it's a default steam install location

i think i can probably ask the registry or something where the steam library is but i haven't looked into that, not much of a priority

currently investigating analysing the output to fix up some common decompiler annoyances in post

[naive fox]

I mean, I got it to work long ago. I just had to do it through the console rather than double clicking (which didnt work)

[silent zealot]

Has anyone tried running both B42 and B41 by making copies of the game instalation? Any gotchas with them both sharing the same c:\users\me\Zomboid profile directory?

[bronze yoke]

it will absolutely destroy everything if you let them share a cache directory

launch one of them with -cachedir="C:/SomewhereElse/

otherwise there's no issues with having multiple installations

[ancient grail]

ive tried to be able to launch both versions too. and failed.
i did change install dir and cache for both, run 42 with steam and 41 with nosteam

still failed

[sharp plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-nodding-alright-okay-sure-gif-17462390242745359901

[silent zealot]

Thanks, doesn't sound worth it just to backport a mod to B41.

Also, 42.4 broke one of my mods... somehow my simple recipe breaks the code for using a game controller on the crafting interface.

[storm trench]

Probably the updates they did to make using game controllers in B42 viable lolll.

[silent zealot]

Definitely that, but I'm struggling to work out why.

[vast pier]

just make a copy of the entire build 41 folder and put it somewhere on your desktop

that's what I did

since b41 isn't getting any updates, you should be safe to just leave it there

[drifting ore]

I've searched every file of reference mods and searched up every term I could think of and I still can't figure out how to set the coverage of my bracers so that the armor value applies to the character's forearms

[vast pier]

I think that's handled by bloodlocation on the clothing

unsure tho

why not just try to figure out what the vanilla vambraces do?

    {
        DisplayName = Forearm Leather Armor - Right,
        DisplayCategory = ProtectiveGear,
        Type = Clothing,
        Icon = Arm_Armor_Leather,
        BloodLocation = ForeArm_R,
        BodyLocation = ForeArm_Right,
        ClothingItem = Vambrace_Leather_Right,
        BiteDefense = 100,
        ScratchDefense = 100,
        CanHaveHoles = TRUE,
        ClothingExtraSubmenu = RightForearm,
        ClothingItem = Vambrace_Leather_Right,
        ClothingItemExtra = Vambrace_Leather_Left,
        ClothingItemExtraOption = LeftForearm,
        WorldStaticModel = Vambrace_Leather_Right,
        Insulation = 0.35,
        WindResistance = 0.3,
        CombatSpeedModifier = 0.98,
        DamagedSound = ArmourBreakLeather,
        Weight =  0.5,
        DiscomfortModifier = 0.05,
        Tags = IgnoreZombieDensity,
    }```

It's probably bloodlocation

cuz that's also the value that handles clothing holes

[drifting ore]

Weird

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/BloodLocation

Thank you, I was just ignoring it

[silent zealot]

My worry is when I run it it will fight with B42 over the stuff in c:\user\me\Zomboid\

[silent zealot]

It definitely is.

[vast pier]

The most I've seen it had problems with, is it resets your game settings

[silent zealot]

Important: if you list an invalid bloodlocation you can cause the game to load and delete lots of items from yoru savegame.

[vast pier]

Why is this happening

{
    model ImprovisedWoodStockTest
    {
        mesh = weapons/firearm/parts/attachments/WoodStockTest,
        texture = WorldItems/HandleWooden_Small,
    }
}```

        ModelWeaponPart = DefaultwWoodenStock ImprovisedWoodStockTest saltystock saltystock,```

@silent zealot You 🫵
Help me figure this out, you're the reason I'm setting up gun attachments

[silent zealot]

hahahaha

I just spent two hours working out why my recipe broke game controller code.

Answer: because 42.4 parses the recipe input list differently; in 42.3 you didn't need a comma at the end of every line, now you do.

[vast pier]

yeah and I'm gonna be spending hours figuring out how I can get the tape to still have color variants despite the fact that the attachments aren't capable of having randomized sprites

[tacit pebble]

is there any possibility of syntax error? because

MeshAssetManager.loadCallback> Failed to load asset: AssetPath{ "media/models/Vehicles_WheelFRTrans.txt" }

this is what i've usually seen (the path is inside of {})
(Or something has been changed in B42...)

[silent zealot]

Otherwise the @$#%@#^%@#ing game controller code thows a fit

Becuase __len is not defined for something.

[silent zealot]

Capital W for Weapons?

[vast pier]

no

[silent zealot]

vanilla is all:```
model x4Scope
{
mesh = Weapons/parts/Rifle_4XScope,
texture = Weapons/parts/Rifle_12XScope,
}

[vast pier]

The guide I'm following does this tho

[silent zealot]

You shouldn't need to, but I have trust issues with the Zomboid parser/loader

[vast pier]

maybe

they did change a lot about the guns, it could be a new bug

[silent zealot]

From memory: you need the attachment item to list the guns it can mount on AND the weapon item to list the attachments it can take

[vast pier]

I'll look at a mod that adds attachments first

[vast pier]

it wouldn't be throwing the mesh error if I hadn't already gotten it to attach to the gun itself -3-

[silent zealot]

in the weapon:
ModelWeaponPart = x4Scope x4Scope scope scope,

[vast pier]

yeah I know
ModelWeaponPart = ItemName ModelName location location,

[silent zealot]

Where you write the attachment name twice then the attachmnet point in the weapon item twice, for some reason

hmmm

correct file extension on weapons/firearm/parts/attachments/WoodStockTest ?

not WoodStockTest.fbx.bx or something silly?

model file not being held open by blender?

Did you burn sage and anoint your CPU with the correct sacred oils?

[vast pier]

Huh that's weird, I was gonna ping rainmaker_13 but they aren't in the server? or any mutual servers?

strange

their last message was 2/12/25 at 12:47pm

was gonna ask them if they knew what's wrong since they've modded in attachments for b42

[silent zealot]

Not sure I'd classify a four-color bic as a "memento"

[prime adder]

Why does no1 develop a mod that removes any basically nude female characters whether from sex events or strip club I can't look at them in islam

[vast pier]

I think that category is novelty items in general tbh

[vast pier]

Is this a genuine request? your profile makes me feel otherwise

[vast pier]

oh my fucking god

Read my mesh script, I have it as firearm/parts/attachments when it's just firearm/attachments

[bronze yoke]

i've updated ZomboidDecompiler with a more robust system for detecting game installations since that's come up more often than i thought it would: if anyone has a steam library in a weird place, i'd appreciate it if you gave it a try and let me know if it works
as before, the detection only works for steam copies of the game on windows
https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/ZomboidDecompiler/releases/tag/v0.1.5

[silent zealot]

At least it's working now.

[silent zealot]

trying now (c:\games\steam... is my installation path)

I can't recall if I had to set that explicitly when I used the previous version of ZomboidDecompiler

[bronze yoke]

the older version could literally only find the default steam location on either the c or d drive

but it turns out way more people than expected don't have their steam library in the default location 😅

[silent zealot]

This new one found the game, no issues.

[bronze yoke]

thank you for testing!

[silent zealot]

Thank you for the tool and motivation to update my decompiled game to the latest version!

[queen oasis]

stuck it on the E drive, zomboid is around there too and it worked flawless. you're the best thanks!

[bronze yoke]

thank you!

[prime adder]

Don't worry about the profile but the request is genuine

I am not kidding 1 bit

[queen oasis]

when you think things might be simple...

public Square[][] getSquaresForLevel(int _int) {
  ChunkLevel chunkLevel = this.getLevelData(_int);
  return chunkLevel == null ? null : chunkLevel.squares;
}

[vast pier]

okay this is driving me insane now, none of them are working again

[silent zealot]

That is why I use git and checkin every time a bit of progress is made

So I can see what I did to break everything

[vast pier]

    {
        mesh = weapons/firearm/attachments/imp_mag_angled,
        texture = weapons/firearm/GunAtlas1white,
    }``````
    model WoodStock
    {
        mesh = weapons/firearm/attachments/imp_wood_stock,
        texture = weapons/firearm/GunAtlas1white,
    }``````
    model WoodGrip
    {
        mesh = weapons/firearm/attachments/imp_wood_grip,
        texture = weapons/firearm/GunAtlas1white,
    }```

    ModelWeaponPart = ImprovisedStock WoodStock stock stock,
    ModelWeaponPart = ImprovisedMagFeed MagFeed magfeed magfeed,
    ModelWeaponPart = ImprovisedGrip WoodGrip grip grip,```

[silent zealot]

I feel like making you explain each of those words now. 😂

[vast pier]

this is driving me insane

It doesn't make sense to me, because the game is properly registering the models

[silent zealot]

Take a break and resume later

Texture path ok?

[vast pier]

yes I know they're both fine for certain

I know for certain because they show up in the attachment editor properly modeled and textured

the models are parsed correctly, or they wouldn't show up in the attachment editor

[silent zealot]

hmmm.

And no other errors exceptions in console.log?

Exception: too many variations I can't handle this much choice

[vast pier]

Nope, just the asset path

which makes zero sense considering the game literally loads it perfectly fine in the attachment editor

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-crying-gif-25182035

[keen venture]

Hello-I've never made a mod before but im trying to just make a variation for the Varsity jacket, Nothing fancy just a texture swap ontop of the alreayd existing bob and kate Jackett_Varsity models. I followed a tutorial but every time i try to load the mod it crashes so I honestly have no idea what is even wrong

could someone perhaps look at my files or maybe knows a more in depth tutorial/troubleshooting page i could look at to figure out how to do this? I am a complete newb at modding

[tacit pebble]

will it matter
models_x
and models_X?

[bronze yoke]

no

[tacit pebble]

hmm

[bronze yoke]

the game converts all filepaths to full lower case before doing anything with them

[tacit pebble]

I'm still wondering why there's a model name instead of actual path between { and }
pure curiosity

[silent zealot]

What is the crash error? Post your console.txt (from c:\users\yourusername\Zomboid\ ) and there is a good chance we can offer suggestions.

And are you making a new item, adding a texture to the existingjacket, or repalcing a texture of teh existing jacket?

[keen venture]

here is the console. I am just adding a texture to an existing Jacket. Ideally I'd like it to be a variation instead of a replacement of the already existing Varsity Jacket. The actual models are Bob_VarsityJacket and Kate_VarsityJacket I followed the tutorial that was pinned to this page about how to make new clothes by Tchernobill

just trying to give it a new png. It times out anytime i try to load the game back up with it in the mod folder.

[silent zealot]

Interesting - Java is running out of memory. It only does this when you mod is activated?

[keen venture]

yep if i delete it from the folder it opens back up just fine. no idea how i messed it up so bad

[silent zealot]

How much RAM do you have?
Memory total available to JVM: 252.0 MB

[keen venture]

16 gb there is plenty of space too

[silent zealot]

actually that's just from the java settings resricting memory

not actual system ram free

Which reminds me, I need to adjust my memory settings as they got reverted when I refreshed files

How big is your texure file?

[tacit pebble]

i remember JVM was always around 256mb for me when I didn't set memory

[keen venture]

its 256x256 17.8 kb

how would i find my free ram? Im not sure i understand how that is different apologies I am trying to learn

[silent zealot]

Right click tash bar -> windows task manager -> performance for system ram

BUT it's important to know Java has it's own memory system

Assuming you are on a 64bit Windows, backup ProjectZomboid64.json in the games directory and then open it in a text editor.

you should see something like this:

        "-Djava.awt.headless=true",
        "-Xmx3072m",
        "-Dzomboid.steam=1",
        "-Dzomboid.znetlog=1",

that Xmx means "java can only use 3 GB of ram"

And I think the default on B41 is even lower.
I set mine to:

    "vmArgs": [
        "-Djava.awt.headless=true",
        "-Xmx4096m",
        "-Xms1024m",
        "-Dzomboid.steam=1",
        "-Dzomboid.znetlog=1",
        "-Djava.library.path=win64/;.",
        "-XX:-CreateCoredumpOnCrash",
        "-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow"
    ],

That means it has a max of 4GB, and XmS means start with 1GB instead of starting with 200 MB and grabbing more because we both know that isn't enough"

This is on the assumption you've just hit the point where your mod collection is using to much ram for everything.

[keen venture]

interesting i do have a lot of mods. I'll give this a shot and report back

[silent zealot]

Could be something else happeing, but this is an easy first step.

It's also worth trying with only your mod enabled, and no other mods.

delete or edit C:\Users\milk\Zomboid\mods\default.txt to disable mods if you can't get the game to start.

[tacit pebble]

do you have any lua in your mod?

[silent zealot]

You're thining a loop/recursion eating all teh memory?

[keen venture]

I don't believe so it wasnt a part of the tutorial

[tacit pebble]

yeah what I was thinking. something looping / spamming unnecessarily

[silent zealot]

it's also crashing very early, I think before it actually get to running lua.

A 200 line console.txt is so tiny!

[tacit pebble]

yeah and I just realized it was happening when loading script (I guess)

[silent zealot]

same, comparing to my console,txt it shoudl be loading scripts right after the texture packs

Recursive item script? No idea how that would be possible. Script that breaks the parser? I know dozens of ways, even if they usually break in a different way to this.

[tacit pebble]

:3

[keen venture]

Ok I updated the json as you suggested. It seems to still crash out while loading scripts

looking at the console it looks like it ran out of memory again

[grizzled fulcrum]

you dont need to edit this anymore, if you're in the modding discord see https://discord.com/channels/908422782554107904/1299269595697385524

[silent zealot]

Both ways work, but I can edit one file instead of two shortcuts. Not that it would be a lot of effort to edit two shortcuts lol

[grizzled fulcrum]

true, i just use the batch files when modding, but most peopel dont so that launch arg is useful

[silent zealot]

I don't think the devs have any idea what a cow is.

[grizzled fulcrum]

and remember steam can delete your edited json when it validates checksums unless you tell the bootstrapper otherwise so keep that in mind

[silent zealot]

1. when they get upset they don't run away, they systematically destroy your stuff. Even if that means running back home after running away just to break some more fence.

2. I killed three tonnes of cow because I was sick of this and got less than 2 kg of meat from them

3. brown cows produce normal milk instead of chocloate milk.

...ok so manybe not that one.

[tacit pebble]

btw there's a possibility of this
since console says arrayList is the reason, some missing comma or syntax could cause that? Something.... when something wasn't closed, then everything will try to be read as previous parameter's value.

like an arrayList which contains 9999 things

[keen venture]

idk if this will help but here is a recording that shows basically the whole file structure and code

[tacit pebble]

need one more }

        /*codes*/
        ... Jacket_Ground, 
    }
}

and... you need to define your script is for which item like this

module Jacket_VarsityKoK
{
    item myNewItem                     /* This tell to Java that this script for myNewItem */
    {                                  /* This "{" tell to Java that script for myNewItem starts from here (opening) */
      DisplayCategory = Clothing
      ...
    }                                  /* to here (closing) */
}

[keen venture]

oooh ok great catch! this fixed the crashing immediately thankyou so much!!

[tacit pebble]

✌️
Guessing work is always fun to me btw

[tacit pebble]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts
This will help you to understand how script files work

[keen venture]

I very much appreciate it like i said i am a complete noob to coding. if you have a kofi or anything ill gladly tip you for the help.

this part where it needs to be defined. is this right?

[tacit pebble]

I don't earn any money from modding. (at least for now). pure enjoyment is the only fuel for making me keep modding. so you're welcome

[simple helm]

does anyone know a script or how to write an LUA for loading cars on a trailer ?

[silent zealot]

Have you checked the existing car trailer mod?

[simple helm]

it goes farther then looking at that, also that script it written wonkie

wherever the code written it in the tsar common

[tacit pebble]

module Jacket_VarsityKoK {
  imports { Base }
  item Jacket_VarsityKok
  {
        DisplayCategory = Clothing,    
        Type = Clothing,
        DisplayName = KoK Jacket,
        ClothingItem = Jacket_VarsityKoK,
        BodyLocation = Jacket,
        Icon =Item_JacketVarsityKoK,
        BloodLocation = Jacket,
        RunSpeedModifier = 0.92,
        CombatSpeedModifier = 0.95,
        BiteDefense = 50,
        ScratchDefense = 60,
        NeckProtectionModifier = 0.5,
        Insulation = 0.70,
        WindResistance = 0.50,
        WaterResistance = 0.60,
        Weight = 3,
        WorldStaticModel = Jacket_Ground,        
    }
}

You will be able to understand which is the difference when you check the wiki I sent.
{ means opening // while } means closing (opening for which you just wrote)
So logically, it should be like this

item Jacket_VarsityKok
  {
    parameters (Icon, BiteDefence, Weight, etc..)
  }

this means parameters is for item Jacket_VarsityKok

=====================

  imports {
     item Jacket_VarsityKok
  }    

what you wrote means
item Jacket_VarsityKok is for imports and doesn't much make sense

I hope I explained well.. I'm not really good at explaining :/

[keen venture]

no no you are very helpful im just reading through the wiki. so because the item im adding uses a model in the game does that mean i don't need the import section?

"Most vanilla items use the module Base. If you utilize the Base item block, you do not need to import it. Be careful with the naming when utilizing Base module, so it does not match name of a vanilla game item (as it will overwrite the vanilla item)."

it now shows up in game text as an item i can wear but does not actually load the model so i consider this great progress

[tacit pebble]

to be honest, I don't know what imports does since I don't make any item mods (script-related mod).
as far as i know, you will need model script too for your new item if your item uses own model? hmm (nvm this line. this is weird one)

also Icon should be Icon = JacketVarsityKoK unless your .png name is Item_Item_JacketVarsityKoK.png

[silent zealot]

The whole game is wonkie, dealing with that is part of the fun of modding. And I use "fun" in the Dwarf Fortress sense of !FUN!.

[bronze yoke]

all imports do is add that module to the list of modules that will be checked when you reference another object without specifying the module

[silent zealot]

But a script to put a vehicle on a trailer isn't the sort of thing people are likely to have laying around, it's going to be a finnicky process.

[bronze yoke]

but you shouldn't really do that anyway and most scripts don't even do that (people just add imports because other mods do)

[silent zealot]

If you want to write one from scratch, The two tricky parts are 1) make the trailer look different when it is carrying a vehicle and 2) make a vehicle vanish from the game and then restore it reliably.

1 probably isn't hard, 2 is... I can't think of a great way to do it, just some crazy ideas that probably won't work.

[silent zealot]

I can't tell you what it actually does at a technical level, but if you want to make items in your own namespace to avoid conflicts with other mods you need to use import base.

Then you could make an item called Nep.SniperRifle, because if you make Base.SniperRifle there is a high chance of a conflict with some other mod using the same name.

But it's easier to just make Base.NepSniperFile

[simple helm]

I used ChatGPT and not even sure that helped. I need to try and find where to get the code. Or learn LUA and try to write a script myself but would like to try and find the one already made and go off It

[silent zealot]

ChatGPT is a trap when it comes to code.

[tacit pebble]

isn't that module thing? not imports one
I really have no idea why mod uses module {Base}

[silent zealot]

It might help, but it will also give you made up code and you need to understand it well enough to fix it.

[tacit pebble]

really this

[simple helm]

Anywhere you know where to begin ? I have the vehicle in game just need a script

[silent zealot]

Like a random person on the internet that learned to code by reading code forums but has never done it themselves, and also they can't admit they are wrong or don't know something.

Have you done much scripting and/or programming before?

[tacit pebble]

I use GPT as calculator only. like "does this code make sense logically?" after done my work and it helps me enough

[silent zealot]

Chat GPT is great if you want "give me 300 silly business names for my silly business cards mod"

[simple helm]

Scripting not really. I could learn Lua might start tomorrow. Also I learn best off of visual

[silent zealot]

Any other programming?

I have no idea where is a good place to start learning, except to say don't do what I did which is "learn BASIC because that's how everyone gets started in the 1980s"

[simple helm]

Java sorta, but not from scratch

I also have a vehicle dev helping me out

[silent zealot]

That's good - if you know the basics of flow control (if/then/else, loops. functions, passing variables around) and understand a bit about how objects work that will help a lot.

[tacit pebble]

@simple helm
btw this is the file for loading animals into animal trailer.
lua\shared\TimedActions\Animals\ISAddAnimalInTrailer.lua

[simple helm]

For sure will look at everything that can load stuff

[silent zealot]

making the car vanish and then recreating it is not straightforward... probably needs some clever hack like hiding the vehicle in a distant part of the map, or some trickery with the vehicle DB.

[simple helm]

Ima try to do something like autosar trailer as clearly deleting the entity and recreating seems the best route

[tacit pebble]

btw is baseVehicle also IsoMovingObject?

otherwise... seems you really have to do kind of heck

[silent zealot]

unfortunatley that relies on BaseVehicle haveing a place to store animals, which is public ArrayList<IsoAnimal> animals; in the java.

[simple helm]

Anything possible

[tacit pebble]

logic is there and I thought keypoint is public void addAnimalInTrailer(IsoAnimal var1)

[silent zealot]

When you say "delete" do you mean delete the vehicle object? If so, how are you going to get it back?

[simple helm]

Tbh not sure yet I am tired and going to sleep. Tomorrow a new day. Gn

[silent zealot]

first line of the function puts the animal object in the animal storing array, but we don;t have an equivilent vehicle storing array.

Would be easy if we could mod java...

I'm going to have a shower and do some shopping, I'll have a look at teh Autostar hauler later because I'm curious how they approached this.

[tacit pebble]

removeFromWorld will not delete some kind of data however I don't remember exactly but i just felt like that before
permanentlyRemove will delete everything for sure

oh did autostar already do this? :0 I'm gonna sub autostar

[silent zealot]

Autostars solution: 1) on the tailer create a whole bunch of VehcleParts that match the normal part names, but prefixed with "wrecker_"

2. one by one take every VehiclePart off the car and place it on the trailer (so the car's DoorFrontLeft gets attached to the trailer's wrecker_DoorFrontLeft

3. record some values to modData somewhere on the trailer like the vehicle type, the vehicle skin, is hotwored, etc.

4. if key is in ignition put the carkey in the player's pocket

5. destroy the vehicle permanately.

Then to launch you replay that in reverse: read the trailer's modData, create a new vehicle of the same type, setthe skin, set if it's hotwired, etc etc. Then one by one remove each VehiclePart on the new car, and move the stored part from the trailer to the vehicle.

Looks like there's a whitelist of vehicles it can load, presumably to avoid problems loading modded vehicles with extraparts that don't have a corresponding wrecker_partname on the trailer.

Also that would let them use this for things like the boat trailers than can only hold boats.

So if you want a vehicle than can transport one vehicle you could make use of Tsarlibs to do it... looks fiddly to set up the vehicle file but not too nasty.

So RV with motorbike on the back, easy(ish)

But a car carrier that holds multiple vehicles - you'd need to rewrite a lot of code because it's all built on the assumption that only one vehicle will be transported.

...also I was supposed to shower THEN look at the code. Oops.

@simple helm have a read through that in the morning, see if that helps you understand the tsarlib code.

[grizzled fulcrum]

I actually do this in my carwanna extended mod but it is also done in the original carwanna if you need POC or something

[grizzled fulcrum]

a little bit longer 😄

[silent zealot]

Does Carwanna just record details of the vehicle in modData and then recreate it? From screenshots looks like you need parts repaired/no items inside/etc

https://youtu.be/gM7jCBlxhzg?t=5

[keen venture]

hmmm so I got it to the point that it shows in the game list and you can wear it, tear it up and what not but the actual model is not showing up. I looked at the wiki and compared my files side by side with another mod that reskins the varsity jacket and im just kind of stumped as to why its not working.

[bright fog]

Hey this can be many reasons

Some folks in #modeling might know more about typical issues with clothings

[keen venture]

Hm ok I'll ask them. This is my first mod. I thought a simple texture swap would be easy but I'm just completely lost

[tacit pebble]

you may want to check that errors.
Tooltip is broken too and error popped up
this mean something is already broken and it could be that modeling is just a follow-up issue.

[silent zealot]

What are the LUA errors telling you? I can see the red thingy in the lower right. Check console.txt and teh errors may give a useful hint

[keen venture]

no model specified by item i think.....I also realized i messed up the clothingitem.xml but adding the extension in the name so it was reading it as clothingitem.xml.xml i can get something to show up after fixing that

i consider this progress

[silent zealot]

Sometime progress is weird. Like the time I celebrated because after hours of work I was able to make the game crash if the character put on underpants.

[keen venture]

haha i am doing my best im sure these are really dumb mistakes but its literally my first time. I'm determined now 100% sunk cost fallacy.

[silent zealot]

People who have been doing this for years make dumb mistakes.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

[umbral raptor]

could someone tell me how i can override isoheatsource's hardcoded cap of never going below room tempreture. this mod did it.

it uses isoheatsource, but my attempts ended up making the entire world cold instead haha

im trying to add it onto this code

local function AddHeatSource(x,y,z,heatData)
local heatSource = IsoHeatSource.new(x, y, z, heatData.range, heatData.temp)
getCell():addHeatSource(heatSource)
return heatSource
end

[silent zealot]

How does that mod do it?

Is that file you posted the only lua for the mod?

[umbral raptor]

im not sure, i dont fully understand it.

[umbral raptor]

no there are other, but its related to timed actions and such

[silent zealot]

link to workshop?

Timed actiosn often do stuff when they complete

[umbral raptor]

from what i understand its pretty much messing with the world's climate and overriding some things

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3071370537&searchtext=air+con

this is for B41 tho

i can send u all the lua files if u want

other things have to do with server commands, definitions of ACs and etc

timed actions seems to be about the player's actions and movements and such for turning on/off the AC

the file i sent seems to be the only one actually working with the temp

[silent zealot]

I can just subscribe on steam to get the files

[umbral raptor]

if you could do that and help me that'd be great. you'd understand it better than i can haha

if not isMultiplayer then
if player:isInARoom() then

                                        local gt = cm:getTemperature()
                                        -- print ("---gt---")
                                        -- print (gt)

                                        local ht = cell:getHeatSourceHighestTemperature(0, player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ())
                                        -- print ("---ht---")
                                        -- print (ht)

                                        if ht > 1 then

                                            -- print (string.format("PLAYER TEMP: %f, TARGET TEMP: %f", playerTemp, targetTemp))
                                            
                                            local newOverride = cf:getOverride()
                                            if playerTemp > targetTemp then
                                                newOverride = newOverride - 0.5
                                            else
                                                newOverride = newOverride + 0.5
                                            end
                                            cf:setEnableOverride(true)
                                            cf:setOverride(newOverride, 1)

it emsses up with the air temp or the player temp not sure

it also uses isoheatsource which is weird

[silent zealot]

wow.. the climate stuff is pure confusion

WTF is class called "ClimateFloat" for?

It's not a float, it's an entire class.

[umbral raptor]

not sure, didnt seem to cause errors

it seems that it pretty much modifies the entire climate

or smthin haha

[silent zealot]

there's something called "override"

But.. not clear what it's overrriding.

[umbral raptor]

yeah was confused about that too

but problem in base zomboid is that isoheatsource never goes below the current temp so it can never cool

so i think that def needs to be overriden

[silent zealot]

and a ClimateBool class

and ClimateColor

[silent zealot]

the isoheatsource isn't the thing cooling the player

[umbral raptor]

oh, then what is?

the air temp/climate change?

or maybe its changing the player temp?

it includes all of these so im not sure lmao

[silent zealot]

so ht is the temp of teh best heater affecting a square

if it is >1 (whcih probably means "it exists" ) it gets the air temp for character, getOverrise

then make the overide warmer or cooler to match the target

So an IsoHEatSource set to 18 won't so anything wthen it's a 30 degree day

but this override will

provided you're in a room and affected by an isoheatsource

[umbral raptor]

so i need to add this override?

[umbral raptor]

this?

[sly ivy]

Hey sorry to interrupt but what is the mesh in a model script for weapons?

[umbral raptor]

the 3d model itself

u direct the script to where it is

[sly ivy]

thank you, been struggling with that

[silent zealot]

It's a huge mess of badly names classes with no clear purpose, BUT we know know that getting enabling override and setting overide probably forces teh character temp

so open up the lua console,

cf=getWorld()getClimateManager():getClimateFloat(4)

[sly ivy]

is the "sprite" the same?

[silent zealot]

then cf:setEnableOverride(true) and cf:setOverride(someNewNumber, 1)

just shove different numbers into setOverride adn see what happens

Traditionally it would be done by having a completely seperate item for each gun

You can probably hack it with lua and setName()

Is this for B41 or B42?

[umbral raptor]

yep.

but

u have to put ur module name before it

for some reason

[sly ivy]

whats the module?
sorry

[umbral raptor]

so if my module name is supportcorps and my model name is bigaxe then

WorldObjectSprite = SupportCorps.BigAxe

the thing at the top

[umbral raptor]

module SupportCorps
{
imports
{
Base,
}

[sly ivy]

oh i have that setup

just a final thing
think this'd work?

module Base {
model Yuka {
mesh =YukaMesh,
texture =Yuka,
}
}

[silent zealot]

I'm talking items, not models here... but for example Brita would have an item for KrissVector9mm, then one for KrissVectorStockExtended. Then KrissVector22lr and KrissVector22lrstockextended

and the extend/collapse stock action replaces the gun and copies over attachments/condition/etc

[umbral raptor]

no

[silent zealot]

Not calibres, but that's a simple recipe. AK74+short barrel = AK74u+long barrel

[umbral raptor]

model Cast
{
mesh = WorldItems/Cast,
texture = WorldItems/Cast,
scale = 0.065,
}

[silent zealot]

AK74+hacksaw = AK74u

[umbral raptor]

@sly ivy

change the scale ofc

[silent zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/national-spaghetti-day-national-spaghetti-day-hungry-gif-7317183

[umbral raptor]

my scale is too small haha

[sly ivy]

cheers ngl i stole the base code from a random weapon mod i found XD

[umbral raptor]

yeah sometimes code will be changed from base game haha when modding

u gotta look at other mods

thats better for u

[sly ivy]

thanks again, i appreciate the help dude, hope you have a nice day!

[silent zealot]

"Should we have a setFog(int) method?"
"heck no! Fog shall be ClimateFloat(5)!"
"Could we... use a normal float instea... OK I can see I am making you angry I shall leave now"

[prime adder]

In short I need that mod I am not trolling

[silent zealot]

I'm skeptical that "skibiddi toilet" means "my request is a sincere one" 😂

[drifting ore]

There are no sex events or strip clubs in my game

Idk about you guys

[silent zealot]

As for removing specific zombies - shouldn't be hard to do, AFAIK the zombie outfits are just huge lua tables so you just need a mod to remove the outfits you don't want.

If you want that, then congrats - you're a modder now.

[silent zealot]

I drove to the big Garage near the drag racing track south of Lousiville because I really needed car parts and tools. Which is how I discovered "Pole Position" is actually a strip club.

Complete with big fake garage doors so it loosk like a mechanic's shop

[torn igloo]

Does ISModalDialog support new line \n?

[drifting ore]

Is there a quicker debug way to bloody/dirty a clothing item than killing zombies and letting them maul me?

I can get items on the right side bloody no problem but the left I have been trying for 20 minutes

Except for one of them for some reason

[winter bolt]

in debug mode theres a blood menu

[drifting ore]

🤦‍♂️ Thank you

Wait, do you mean something other than this?

[bright fog]

You can probably change the item name

[winter bolt]

its that

[drifting ore]

I need something that can change bloodLevel of a clothing item

Think I'll just try to write a script unless something exists I am not seeing

[umbral raptor]

does someone know a B42 mod that has recipes with randomized outputs? I saw a mod here that had briefcases that u could unlock

[bright fog]

It's simply an oncreate function

[bright fog]

You can probably use item visuals

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/ItemVisuals

[winter bolt]

pressing random adds it to clothing

[turbid ruin]

If i want to start making for example food items, is there a tutorial i should read on?
