[deft sentinel]

well okay then this makes it much less painful

[thin swan]

So if you make it equipped in for example the same slot as necklace, but you attach it to the foot bone, then it will stick to your foot even if you have shoes on

[deft sentinel]

hmm yeah I guess I could but I think I wanna stick to it having its own slot

otherwise someone will complain he cant wear his precious crucifix necklace

[thin swan]

That's how I'm able to do trick animations with the skateboard, there's a free floating prop bone that I can move around, and then I make the skateboard "clothing" attach to that bone, so however I animate it, it will make the skateboard do the same thing

[deft sentinel]

wow nice

[thin swan]

Some day soon I'll make a guide on how to use paddlefruits rig in blender to make multi-stage animations

[deft sentinel]

I think it will turn out great

you managed to explain coding to someone who has no bloody idea about math

;D

and the words were not alien so I guess you will nail the explanations

[thin swan]

That's good, happy to help! 😄 I have a few years of tech support experience which helps for sure

[deft sentinel]

definitely

but I will still apologize in advance that I will probably get to repeat the same questions

because it will take a while to get it all in my head

lol

but so far I remember most of the stuff you guys said

[broken kayak]

After finish my QoL crusade I wanna try my hands at some animations

[deft sentinel]

yay

this will be fun

also I just realised that the bug where you dont equip a hammer to nail stuff has been fixed

finally realism again instead of using the weapon I have in my hand

[storm trench]

If you get any good then lmk. I might want to hire someone to make some.

[small topaz]

By just researching the wall building system more, I have the impression that smth more is wrong with it. For example, high level wood walls have higher durability as high level brick walls. Also didn't notice any HP increase for the brick walls as my masonry increases (it always has HP 500). Does anyone knows more about how this system is supposed to work??

[thin swan]

I haven't really dug into the wall building, but making the better building mod I definitely realized that the building system is not fully baked. Lots of weird stuff and inconsistencies. Did you check to see if there are any other properties or something that changes?
Could be that there's durability + some other modifier that affects the final health maybe. Or it could be an oversight, both are completely possible haha

[small topaz]

I tried all this in debug mode without any traits on my character (so pbbly nothing affecting it negatively).

Here is a summary of weird things I found out:

• metal walls always have health -1, no matter of your welding skill and whether it is a lvl1 or lvl2 wall
• wooden walls on lowest lvl have health -1 (but it increases with higher carpentry skill)
• highest lvl wooden walls have higher HP than highest lvl brick walls
• brick wall health is always 500, no matter of the lvl or your masonry skill
• stone walls also have -1 health at lowest lvl (but I didn't try them for higher levels)

The health=-1 walls are also immediately destroyed by one hit of a baseball bat. Not yet tried how they behave under zombies damage though.

[thin swan]

It's for sure something weird with the code then, sounds like they just haven't really polished it at all

[queen oasis]

I'm not sure that'll work now. dang. Gotta be the moodle

[broken kayak]

Is there a way to get an object that's directly under the mouse ? Like someone would do with a raycast or something of the like ?
For now all I can manage is to detect objects in a radius around the mouse and the efficiency is quite low

[storm trench]

If you get a good answer on this, let me know. I've been struggling with context menus for weeks lolll and could maybe use this if it's something we're able to do.

(wrong comment, my baddd Albion... never mind hahaa).

[broken kayak]

I'll let you know if I find a satisfying solution

[thin swan]

You mean so you can target an object that is on the same square as another object? For example two hats on a shelf next to each other and you want to be able to target one of the hats using the mouse?

It seems vanilla just goes by the square to determine which items can be picked up from context menu, so I feel like you'd probably have to mess with targeting the sprite itself

[queen oasis]

"illegal access" - I don't ask for much, just let me change the heavy load level please

[broken kayak]

Yeah that's what I'm currently looking into, but yeah I'd want to add better interaction with world object like picking them up, moving them and or placing them in containers without having to go through a thousands clicks

[broken kayak]

But I've been wondering, do 3D world objects have sprite ?

[small topaz]

It's such an annoyance for me. I am working on a mod and one of the features should be that wall durability is increased (under certain circumstances). But with this situation in the vanilla code, the whole enterprise could be more complicated than I thought. 😅 Maybe I make my mod to temporarily "fix" those things until it gets a suitable vanilla patch.

[thin swan]

Ah yeah good point! Maybe see if you can figure out how the aiming works? Since when you're aiming and you hold it directly on a zombie the reticle color changes, so they are somehow able to target the zombie model itself it seems, unless they're doing some clever tricks that makes it look like thats the case

[broken kayak]

I've looked up that a bit, but I think this system may be java only

[small topaz]

You might try some commands from here for changing stuff about the player's inventory weight: https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/inventory/types/InventoryContainer.html#getCapacity()

Not sure whether it will help you but might be worth to look at in case you haven't done already. There are at least some commands which can manually change smth about the inventory weight system.

[thin swan]

Yeah it probably is tbh

[thin swan]

Haha well yeah sounds like your mod would be good for two things, fixing the bug and then making the walls more upgradeable 😄

[queen oasis]

my issue is I can fix the weights in lua but that only does so much. the stuff I need to mess with to fix the sprint issue is stuck in java from what I can see

[distant inlet]

it seems like it should be simple, but I'm struggling with this: how do you change the name of a Notebook (from "Empty Notebook")?

[distant inlet]

it was :setName() 🥲

[sonic needle]

ill have a look..

[queen oasis]

I just didn't even think that some of these bags are going to have 100's or 1000's of items in them. I really appreciate you for the help with that!

[drifting ore]

What is that

[main pasture]

a scam

[queen oasis]

<@&671452400221159444>

aww, you win

[drifting ore]

Beautiful

[left plank]

thanks

[main pasture]

BTW, is that link with a custom text a new feature to discord? Because I only found out about it few days ago

[bronze yoke]

it's been here a good few months now

[main pasture]

Ah ok, but semi recent any way

[storm trench]

I need y'all to be honest... this looks like crap, don't it?

[queen oasis]

It looks fine. Way better than I can do.

[storm trench]

What is that supposed to be??? lolll. And I'm going to try to make it look a little bit more... weathered... I guess?

[queen oasis]

you can't tell from the AAA professional texture?

[storm trench]

I truly have no idea hahaa.

[queen oasis]

it's a metal detector 🙂

[storm trench]

Oooh. All I could think of was those EMF readers from Phasmophobia hahaa.

[queen oasis]

it looks ok-ish in the game tho, except when the player is walking with it between their legs for whatever reason.

[storm trench]

WTH hahaa.

[thin swan]

Way better than my skateboard lmao

[storm trench]

Oh that's not bad lol.

[thin swan]

Haha but it's also not good 😄 I need to learn how to do it properly instead of just exporting the UV layout and going at it with the brush tool in photoshop

[storm trench]

Hahaa well... I mean... you don't need to do much to it.

[queen oasis]

I'm ashamed how long it took me to realize this error

srcContainerIsPlayerInventory = srcContainer == f.character:playerInventory()

oh wow, look, it works now

srcContainerIsPlayerInventory = srcContainer == f.character:getInventory()

[main pasture]

One very easy way to do simple texturing is just to use the materials in blender and bake it to another model (duplicate) as a texture. Then you can also use procedural effects in the materials

[main pasture]

Got randomized/unique license plates "fully" working. They are now automatically added to every vehicle. It was fun to make, but would anyone else actually be interested in using something like this?

[thin swan]

Do you mean so you can see the texture and paint directly on the model? Or is it a different thing? Because I tried that one, but my topology is not great and I'm lazy with the UV seams, so it hasn't worked out too well so far 😅

[thin swan]

That's cool! Can you uninstall them? Could be a fun collector's item for late game survivors

[main pasture]

I mean the actual blender materials. You can just select faces and assign different materials to them. For finer detail you have to add actual texturing

[broken kayak]

Well if we could change them I'd definitely be interested

[main pasture]

Yes. You can remove both front and rear plates separately

[broken kayak]

Okay I am definitely interested

[main pasture]

Only limitation currently is that you can't have two different plates in a single vehicle

[bronze yoke]

oh now i'm interested

i'm not particularly concerned about cars having different license plates but if i can seek out a funny one for my car i see the appeal

[main pasture]

Yes. You can collect them from random cars and swap to any other, but sadly the only way to display them is in a vehicle (besides the name in inventory)

One benefit could be also naming keys with the plate number so they are recognizable

[thin swan]

Ooohh, I get what you mean, that makes sense! I'm still very fresh to blender, I'll have to give that a try, thanks for the tip!

[thin swan]

That's perfect, I'm sure theres a bunch of collectors that will be happy to have a new item to hunt.

Do you have random vanity plates too?

[main pasture]

They are all currently in the same format of 3 letters and 3 numbers, but it can be changed

[storm trench]

Absolutely. Consider me subscribed.

[thin swan]

I'm not at my computer, but does anyone know if player:setIgnoreMovement(true) mean that your character stops accepting new input?

[main pasture]

It would be trivial to also add plates of different countries etc

[storm trench]

And you wouldn't have to worry about 2 different plates on the same vehicle! :p

[queen oasis]

just tried it and it appears yes

[thin swan]

Fuck yes, thanks for checking!

[sonic needle]

Proud AF of my tex work

[silent zealot]

that looks great

[storm trench]

Better than my simple textures, hahaa. Although I am working on more detailed ones. Not sure what I like more.

The red is maybe a tad too red tho. But I want to do a more rustic look instead of the basic bland style the original had.

[sonic needle]

i excel at that type of rust age processing

[storm trench]

Teach me everything!!! Hahaa. Jk, it's all good, I'll get there, but you do great work for sure.

[sonic needle]

pixels are fun

[thin swan]

That's super clean, great work!

[queen oasis]

vs code literally shows me what's wrong and I still stare at the screen sometimes like, what's wrong? wym, you forgot "end" bruh

also, I accidently doubled up on the coffee in my french press so I'm a little wired

[storm trench]

I feeel you hahaa. I was like that all day and I still am smh... only 3 cups of coffee today hahaa.

[queen oasis]

only 3 cups, but really it depends on the size of the cup

[storm trench]

They were large cups... which for me is a lot... hahaa.

[silent zealot]

And the type of coffee/

[queen oasis]

the kind that makes hair grow on your toes

[silent zealot]

Turkish?

No filter to get rid of teh grounds,

[queen oasis]

dark souls and wonderbrew

no filter for my coffee, my cigs or my mouth, please

[storm trench]

100% Colombian here with cappucino mixed in...

[silent zealot]

just choose between "very potent" and "insane" by how carefully you avoid drinking the last few drops

[queen oasis]

Jim's quit selling columbian. that stuff was the bomb

[dense junco]

Anyone know how the vanilla traits are stored in lua? Or if they even are?

[storm trench]

Crappp. Am I able to have the game just randomly choose between the textures without having to do LUA nonsense? I don't want to add bloat because of different cart/trolley textures, especially with my future plans to add new cart types.

[silent zealot]

there's a "traitfactory" class

Not certain where it gets stroed which traits the player has, I assume the player object

[dense junco]

I saw, and the CharacterTraits class, but when I decompiled them they didn't store much in the way of trait descriptions or values

[silent zealot]

descriptions will be in the tranalation files

In terms of the traits doing stuff, it just gets added to code whenever it comes up.

[dense junco]

oh. oh no

[silent zealot]

there's an example

There's no elgance to it.

[queen oasis]

not sure what you're needing but it's not too bad to check them
player:getTraits():contains("Trait")

[silent zealot]

Just... check for the trait whenever the trait would matter

[queen oasis]

if chr:getTraits():contains("Organized") then
    return math.max(effinCapacity * 1.3, self:getCapacity() + 1)
elseif chr:getTraits():contains("Disorganized") then
    return math.max(effinCapacity * 0.7, 1.0)

[distant inlet]

not sure about stored in lua but you might want to see BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits in MainCreationMethods.lua

[silent zealot]

I expect this is the actual storage, in IsoGameCharacter:

But to back up... what do you want to do with traits?

Adding a trait is easy:

require('NPCs/MainCreationMethods');
local function initOverdriveTrait()    
    local cost = 3 -
    local NepOverdrive = TraitFactory.addTrait("NepOverdrive", getText("UI_trait_NepOverdrive"), cost, getText("UI_traitdesc_NepOverdrive"), false, false);
    TraitFactory.setMutualExclusive("NepOverdrive", "SundayDriver")
    TraitFactory.setMutualExclusive("NepOverdrive", "SpeedDemon")        
end

that trait gets used here:

function CheckOverdriveTrait(player)
    --DebugSay("CheckOverdriveTrait()")
    local hasOverdrive = player:HasTrait("NepOverdrive");
    local hasSpeedDemon = player:HasTrait("SpeedDemon");
    if hasOverdrive or not(SandboxVars.NepOverdrive.RequireTrait) then overdriveAvailable=true end
    if hasSpeedDemon then overdriveActive=true end
end

and that is the only place the trait does anthing directly

But anywhere you can write code, you can check for a trait and do anything that you can do with lua.

[vast pier]

Are player moodles, health, wounds, and various other stats tracked serverside or clientside?

[storm trench]

Ughhh. Now I've really messed the tires up lmao. Oi vey. I feel like it looks much better, and a little less... "pristine"... but tire modeling stinks for these lolll.

It would be fine if the tires moved... but they don't, ha.

Red is absolute fiiire tho.

Getting rid of the pristine look is going to do wonders, imo. Especially for players doing runs like... 10 years later, or whatever.

[open drum]

hey guys? this could b stupid question

but is there any way to "edit" the size of images you bring by using getTextre() ?

i want that "crate" texure to fit into that window

[tacit pebble]

setWidth & setHeight doesn't work?

[open drum]

need to shrink it down

[open drum]

ummm haven't tried

xD

b right back after trying

[tacit pebble]

i used them when I had to adjust item's icon size

[open drum]

i guess this isn't proper way to code it?

got it

thank you @tacit pebble

[tacit pebble]

oh that's great
tbh i didn't know what was wrong from your first code tho 🤣

[open drum]

haha

yea i expected it to work since i made into a new object

but it didn't.. weird

new problem

after doing setHeight, setWidth to the crate texture

all objects in the map are like that

XD not just the texture in the info panel

XD

i made it local... not sure why it does that

[distant inlet]

I'd think it's server-side since you need an authoritative source for that kind of info. player clients self-reporting on their own health sounds cheats-prone

[distant inlet]

is there any documentation for using sendClient/ServerCommand and are there any common pitfalls to avoid?

[open drum]

there is

search on google

project zomboid Event OnClientCommand

or OnServerCommand

[distant inlet]

i've seen the pz wiki for those

[open drum]

i believe there was github page of it as well

[distant inlet]

yup, good call! https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/PZEventDoc/blob/develop/docs/Events.md

I must test

actually doesn't have sendServerCommand (it's on the lua api and not an event)

[silent zealot]

So sendevent handling is just a bunch of stuff attached to OnClientCommand/OnServerCommand Events that says if command="commandIcareAbout" then <do the needful end>?

I should learn this stuff before the multiplayer release of B42 triggers the next modpocalypse.

[queen oasis]

if item then -- kludge to fix error when filling gas bottles out of backpack
    print("Before: ", f.maxTime)
    local w = item:getActualWeight();
    if w > 3 then w = 3; end;
    f.maxTime = f.maxTime * (w) * destCapacityDelta;
    print("After: ", f.maxTime)
    print(f.maxTime, " * ", w, " * ", destCapacityDelta)
    print(" ")
end

seems excessive

should be 120 * 3 * 1 obv

[queen oasis]

I just went with item weight * item weight for now. I'll think more about it tomorrow.

[open drum]

[can't find it atm though](#mod_development message)

still having a problem

here

anyone help? 😦

    texture:setHeight(50)
    texture:setWidth(50
    local htexture = texture:getHeight();
    local wtexture = texture:getWidth();
    
    self.TextureImage = ISImage:new( 0, 0-htexture, 20, 20, texture);
    self.TextureImage.internal = "Image";
    self.TextureImage:initialise();
    self.TextureImage:instantiate();
    self.TextureImage.borderColor = self.buttonBorderColor;
    self:addChild(self.TextureImage);```

nvm, fixed it i think

Here is the fix code for those who wants to know

    local texture = Texture.new(getTexture("carpentry_01_16"))
    texture:setHeight(texture:getHeight()/4)
    texture:setWidth(texture:getWidth()/4)
    local htexture = texture:getHeight();
    local wtexture = texture:getWidth();
    
    self.TextureImage = ISImage:new( wtexture/2.2, htexture, 0, 0, texture);
    self.TextureImage.internal = "Image";
    self.TextureImage:initialise();
    self.TextureImage:instantiate();
    self.TextureImage.borderColor = self.buttonBorderColor;
    self:addChild(self.TextureImage);```

[silent zealot]

Which of these is the correct way to get form playerNum to an player object? My brain has melted.

...I shoudl probably not be trying to code lol

[bronze yoke]

getSpecificPlayer(playerNum)

[silent zealot]

I want to make a mod that lets you use a shovel to make little ponds and water features, but I know it's going to end up being used like this:

I think I'll do it anyway, good way to learn more about dealing with tiles

If people make invulnverable moats in single player, that's fine. Or if server admins are crazy enough to enable it, I guess.

[bronze yoke]

there's more than enough ways to cheese zombies already

people who want to play that way will with or without the mod

[silent zealot]

True, sandbox -> player construction invulnerable is enough to be 100% safe.

BTW> Having a little pond in your yard & 10x crop growth speed makes farming actually enjoyable.

5x growth speed is probably better actually, but 1x is crazy,

[bronze yoke]

i was really perplexed when they announced b42 would make crops take LONGER to grow 😅

[silent zealot]

Crops? realistic times, same stupidly high yields per plant

Animals? realistic times to grow, drops half a stake on death

Trapping? More rabbit meat than you can use

Fishing: SO. MUCH. FISH.

Last fishing trip, in half a day I had 97 kilos of fillets.

Will you add the stealth ability to it?

Good way to drain all your spare batteries

[sonic needle]

would be fun, i can code, but myu skill is "Theoretical Lua" so its random

[silent zealot]

hahaha

[sonic needle]

im a fashion designer foremost, these are my V0.2 hairs

[silent zealot]

There's a "invisble" cheat in the debug cheat menu, if that is not locked to debug mode you can just toggle that on.

[sonic needle]

experimental haircut shows the new lovelyness feature of many hairs

[silent zealot]

I saw there was a new hair mod out, but I wasn;t sure if it was only for use with Project Ava character model.

[sonic needle]

it is indeed only for ava. yes

[silent zealot]

I mean

[sonic needle]

:D i call it, 'Monkey Paw' modding. as its every hair you ever could wish for.
but all for ava

[silent zealot]

Side note: I like the way the really long detailed styles look like elaborate hairdos on the player but long messy unkept hair on zombies.

Like their hair just kept growing after they died

[sonic needle]

i try to do many styles, even grow-out unkempt style ones

[silent zealot]

Good to have some "realistic for an apocalype" styles as well as "she just stepped out of the salon with perfect hair and makeup" movie-accurate styles.

[sonic needle]

at this point ava will have the 'theoretical' World record for available content 😛 which is my goal

[open drum]

@sonic needle can I suggest something?

[sonic needle]

sure?

[open drum]

since you are a designer

can you make "masks" of difference faces?

[sonic needle]

yeah that is rather easy to implement

[open drum]

like players can change face shapes & expressions using makeup items

as "masks"

would b a nice feature

since PJ has different emoji animations

[sonic needle]

shape isnt really... possible as easy, when combined with makeup at the same time. but seperately stacked, it can work

[open drum]

but no facial animations

[sonic needle]

remember that any suggestion i do is Monkey Paw'd to Ava tho.

[open drum]

yea, it's just an idea. think about it

[silent zealot]

Spongies's character customizer does that that, you can choose from a few different faces (and it's easy to add more with an extra mod)

[open drum]

does that allow you to change during the game play?

thought it only makes u change faces during creating

creation**

[silent zealot]

Yes, you can change the choices

[open drum]

though i might b wrong, since i never used it

i see

[silent zealot]

give me a sec and I'll screenshot it for you...

Behind the scenes. every face/scar/texture addon is a piece of clothing, done in a way that does not show up in the UI.

True smoking does the same thing to put a cigarette in your mouth.

So you could do primative animation by swapping the "face clothing"

Or have a few for normal/scared/sad/sleepy.drunk/etc and swap those in.

[sonic needle]

indeed, i am aware makeup can be meme'd to revert to clothing in this manner, as its based on it

[open drum]

nice

[ancient grail]

i just want to add to this

my special zeds uses the same thing
they are just 1 clothing item
i choose to make them zedDmg so that they dont appear in the players inventory when admins want to play as the zed

[broken kayak]

Is that corset vanillia ? 🤔

[silent zealot]

It's from Kink it Up!

I think everythig I'm wearing in that shot is from https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2898847521

Or from one of the Frockin' Splendor mods: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198087493411/myworkshopfiles/?appid=108600

And the Mask from KATTAJ1 Military Pack

I question the authenticity of items like "military off the shoulder crop top", "military stockings" and "military leotard" but it's a fun mod for camo-textured clothing.

[storm trench]

Oh... goodness...

[silent zealot]

I'm 10 months into the apoocalypse... gotta keep things interesting by changing up your outfit regularly.

[broken kayak]

That would have been my guess xd, thanks for the answer !

[broken kayak]

I get ya, I started modding to make it easier handling outfits xd

[sonic needle]

yeah KIU, and Kattaj-MilPack specifically

im Doing a massive Outfit Patch for Ava for Kattaj MilPack, and addons

significantly better fitment, model fixes, uv fixes, etc

[silent zealot]

Looks better to me (also better base body)

[sonic needle]

its a ton of work, but my goal is that if i make or patch enough stuff people will see the ludicrous effort thats already been done

[silent zealot]

Swicthing to the beter body will be a lot easier knowing there are already plenty of clothes working with it.

[sonic needle]

Project fallout armory, is built for ava

3 games, fo3, fo4. and NV worth of outfits planned ^ and being done

[silent zealot]

I think I had issues with the outfit I was wearing when I first tried... I should retry, since this current outfit is all textures on body other than modded boots.

I like seeing the raider gear on zombies, makes it look like they survived a shile before they died

[sonic needle]

ah you mean for armory, which outfit?

the one when you first tried i mean

[silent zealot]

No, porject AVA new body

though maybe I got rid of if when I was trting to work out if teh Java crashes when aiming were due to having a modded body

[sonic needle]

ah, that would of been early B42.0 to B42.2

i solved that issue for all body mods 🙂

[silent zealot]

yeah, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago (in Zomboid weirdness terms)

Thank you! What was the problem?

[sonic needle]

modified Skeletal detection, due to XML failure,

custom animations can also fry the same issue, and result in infinite 'Open Ki5 car door anim'

Ava looks Significantly different Now in V3001 compared to back in B42.1/.2 ver's

her smile is perfect, and designed to look that good, no matter what viewing angle you see her in,
char creator, UI, or ISOmetric angles are all different

shse is also designed to maintain the look of cuteness, at any 360 angle

[silent zealot]

hahahaha

I'm enabling her now, will see how well it goes

[sonic needle]

make sure you have texture res set to 2048x! in settings, and restart after enabling in main menu
and load game, mod load screen

[silent zealot]

I'll have to disable a few other mods, since I don;t want to be loading other skin textures over this

[sonic needle]

it is unfortunate that body models & the textures for them, collide with all others with no exception 😦

[silent zealot]

Project AVA version

[sonic needle]

Aww 🙂 thats cute

[silent zealot]

Much cuter, in face and body.

I've been serious face long enough lol

[sonic needle]

Check her butt. its Lovely ^_^ Spent atleast 1k hours there over the last 2 years aha

Perfect Peach Level 😄 which im happy with

[silent zealot]

Can't see it behind all the gear

[sonic needle]

be careful taking clothes off in images. she is far too Nice to be SFW if you take too much off aha

if you have any issues, my discord for help is in my profile :)!
feel free to bug me for fixes and suggest things

[silent zealot]

That's fine, I assumed so

Not sure if teh oversized eyes will weird be out after a while, but I'm going to see how it goes. Then I'll spend 3 hours hours sortingthrough my huge collection of clothes to design a new outfit lol.

[sonic needle]

she is due for another patch soon to update her eyelashes to the new design as well

they are 3D and very real now

[silent zealot]

impressive

actual 3d objects for eyelashes... definitely pushing the bountries of ZOmboid character design here.

[sonic needle]

go use the Pixel hair pack, it gets more wild

Marionette Style hair Physics, using heavy broken levels of rigging

[silent zealot]

I installed that, haven't checked it out yet since need to go to new character creation to easily view hairstyeles... the "cut hair to <style>" menu is all guesswork!

[sonic needle]

the mod page should have current art for 90% of hairs on each hair pack

[silent zealot]

I'll have a look tomorrow, I need a break

and "tomorrow" might be "in 90 minutes after midnight" 😛

[sonic needle]

i noticed you enjoyed my TWD cav hat too, it was my first clothing model years ago actually

[silent zealot]

Yes, I do have your hat!

And the pretty dess too

I was going to line up mannequins in that dress outside the Echo Creek All-in-One Apocalypse super-shop before B42.6 nuked it.

[sonic needle]

i make armor / addons fulltime now

[thin swan]

Oh hell yeah, now we're cooking! Just gotta make some attack animations and polish a few things

[sonic needle]

i look forward to the bike ^_^ i have something very special planned for it!

[thin swan]

Haha awesome! I'll probably have it done this weekend!

[storm trench]

Kink stuff tho??? Hahaa.

[sonic needle]

My Mod addon DateNight 😛

i marked it NSFW willingly, bit its really just Cute Dresses with a little cleavage, and some bra's etc

[brave bone]

does it play the tony hawk game songs? haha

[sonic needle]

if he adds an ambient noise play feature when riding that will help my bike mod aha

[thin swan]

Haha would be cool but feels like a good way to get a cease and desist 😂 I'm planning on adding sound effects though, while skating and when doing tricks

[sonic needle]

modoptions toggle for a generic sound, means it can be off by default, and replaceable via Addons

[broken kayak]

This is taking form

[brave bone]

this is so cool. no more clicky clicky,

[thin swan]

I love this, will make it so much more immersive to swap clothes around

[icy night]

Is snow considered rain?

Under isRaining

[gilded crescent]

Is RainFactor what I would need to make a bottle fill up from rain or is that the level of which rain water dirties the water?

[storm trench]

Consider me interested hahaa.

[storm trench]

Omggg WHAT???!!

[sonic needle]

i dm'd it to you 🙂

[thin swan]

I'll put out a guide hopefully this weekend on how to make animations 😄 If more modders get into it we could see some really really cool mods

[sonic needle]

i can make animations already, have done plenty, but busy ish atm to use the new rig for things yet

[thin swan]

I've been kinda wanting to make a dual wield mod with custom animations for having two katanas/two knives, brass knuckles etc.

[thin swan]

The rig is super solid, very fun to work with

[storm trench]

I would love you forever for that. Seriously. Hahaa.

[fiery pecan]

did something change with getWorld():registerZone() in B42?
Like, it registers the zone. But if anything tries to use this zone, it blasts in the logs about "Can't find ID for customZoneName", and does nothing.
worked perfectly fine in B41
Tried all these events. No dice.

[silent zealot]

I compiled a java mod!

Look at how nice and bright those headlights are.

[broken kayak]

How it'd be nice to be able to make some actual extensions with java

[silent zealot]

So much so!

I've hit the limit for non-java with High Beams 2.0, but I can make an optional java class file

[broken kayak]

Oooh you made high beem, haven't tried 2.0 yet but nice mod !

[silent zealot]

If I can access the values in mod options from within java I can so an even better job...

[broken kayak]

Maybe you could read it from a file ?

(Idk i have yet to do a java mod)

[silent zealot]

2.0 is a lot better but some vehicles are really janky, and I've worked out it's because when the vehicle rocks forward/backwards any lighst that are too far ahead dip under the ground.

I can think of a few ways to do it, and sandbox variables definitely work because lots of java stuff reference them.

Next thing to test will be if I add a new method to the java class will lua be able to call it, or is the list of classes and methods pre-made?

[broken kayak]

Its khalua doing the java reflection

But I have no idea if there are extra steps needed for new methods, probably so

I've never used Khalua but you can probably find something out there, can't be that much harder then recompiling the bytecode

And its kahlua not khalua

[silent zealot]

Instructions unclear, grabbing coffee liquor from cupboard and making a Black Russian.

https://tenor.com/view/black-russian-kahlua-coffee-flavor-liqueur-alchohol-gif-9338946

No idea how this helps modding but I'm willing to try.

[ornate basin]

I can't find anywhere on the wiki any information on how to upload mods to the steam workshop

and the wiki points to here (specifically, to the "Workshop" channel, which doesn't seem to exist?)

[silent zealot]

1. Are you in Debug mode?

2. Have you set up a folder for the upload under C:\Users\<username>\Zomboid\Workshop\Mod Name with the mod in ...\Contents\mods\Mod Name here

And put a workshop.txt in the Wokshop\Mod Name folder, I think it can be blank to start with

then you use the Workshop option from the main menu -> upload a new item.

[ornate basin]

oh it's the game that uploads the mod, I see

I was looking under the steam workshop page

thanks

[silent zealot]

No probs!

It works!

The setter complains about the Argument:

But adding new methods does have them automagically get added to Kahlua.

I have no cola and can't find a shot glass so my black Russian looks like black coffee

[grizzled fulcrum]

yes

well its doing the exposing from java to lua

[grizzled fulcrum]

If you continue doing java modding, maybe i'll get you to test out ma fabric port for zomboid

[silent zealot]

What does that do?

[grizzled fulcrum]

its a java modding thing originally created for minecraft modding, but since zomboid is similar to minecraft i've ported it over

so like, no need for manual patches and stuff

[sonic needle]

its code translation over updates yeah?

[grizzled fulcrum]

that's one thing it allows, but i've removed its functionality for now

yes yes I know big sad, but changes arent that bizarre between minor updates for zomboid unlike minecraft, and maintaining intermediate mappings (which allow same class names over different versions) would be just straight cancer full time job.

that and it starts to become a big mess when TIS starts renaming classes to different things more than once

[silent zealot]

I'm feeling to have a look at that

If we get a commonly accepted java mod thingy that will open up a lot of scope

Especially if it can load the java mods from mod folders

[grizzled fulcrum]

but do know that I while I dont limit people's creations, I wouldnt recommend java modding for anything you cant already do in lua

[silent zealot]

Hahaha

[grizzled fulcrum]

yes! its very buggy so I gotta test it lol but that is a feature

so you just subscribe to workshop mod and you get the mod jar loading alongside the lua and stuff

[silent zealot]

What if you could do it in lua except some fool hard coded it in java instead?

Nice! Is it on the workshop already?

[grizzled fulcrum]

only limitation is that you'd have to restart your game after subscribing (or subscribe to the mods then start the game) because java mods cant be hot-reloaded (techniccally theres a slim possibility but its fucking chaos)

[silent zealot]

That's a very reasonable limitation

[grizzled fulcrum]

no, you will never be able to just install java stuff from subscribing to workshop

thats why the only user interaction apart from workshop is the installer itself

obviously the user has to conciously choose whether they want it or not, so ye

they just pick the version of the game, hit install, and add a launch option (specifically so you can toggle between vanilla and modded easily, and also its the only simple method that I found haha)

think of it like a -modded launch option but its not named that lol

but for example this is in the example mod:

@Mixin(LuaEventManager.class)
public class ExampleMixin {
    @Inject(method = "triggerEvent", at = @At("HEAD"))
    private static void triggerEvent(String event, CallbackInfo ci) {
        System.out.println("Lua event " + event + " fired!");
    }
}

so thats all the code you need really for hooking triggerEvent (gets called when send event from Java to Lua)

Adding methods to be exposed is slightly difficult as it requires some brainpower instead of just adding the method to the mixin class, but it can work too

dedicated server support is experimental, only because I am doing uni stuff at the same time (grrr if only I was rich right now) but since the classes are exactly 1:1 the same from client and server, it wont be the hardest

[silent zealot]

I'll have a go at that over the weekend

Where do I download it from?

[sonic needle]

spent over an hour repairing an n64 hair

[silent zealot]

Nintendo 64 models in Zomboid?

[sonic needle]

i have repaired this. Profesh/10

[grizzled fulcrum]

so the development environment is on maven as a normal gradle plugin, so you can just include it like any normal dependency. Id recommend using the example mod though. https://github.com/aoqia194/leaf-example-mod
Remember that if your game is anywhere but the default install (on steam it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\...) you will have to specify it manually (lmk if you need to do this or not, I dont have docs written right now for anything)

updated the link, I sent the wrong one lol

for the retail environment, you run the installer found here: https://github.com/aoqia194/leaf-installer and get it from the github releases or maven central

keep in mind I wouldn't recommend installing production environment to your actual game yet, as im polishing some stuff still for it

[silent zealot]

I installed to C:/games/steam so I'll need to specify

Thanks, this will be fun

[grizzled fulcrum]

add a loom_game_install_path="C:\\games\\steam\\......."

so it points to the ProjectZomboid folder basically

[brave bone]

this looks sooooo much better and looks so eerie. a horror scene. lol

[grizzled fulcrum]

and update the mod to the version you are on so it runs, just search for 41.78.16 in project files and oyu'll find the json files that contain it, in the leaf.mod.json and some other thing

right now I just need tester, because since everything is working mostly fine on my computer, other people might not

[sonic needle]

Smash Bro Ver Tho,

[grizzled fulcrum]

and keep in mind most of the fabric docs you can use for reference, like these https://wiki.fabricmc.net/tutorial:mixin_introduction

[echo fiber]

is MilitaryBase still the correct zone name in B42?

[craggy nacelle]

Hey, did anyone of you ever make a tile for texturepacks and ended with an empty sheet? I searched with the mappers and the question was asked 2 times before and left unanswered - and when asking myself i also didnt get an answer, so i hope you wont stone me for asking it here. XD

Here, thats what i mean. Get the sheet in the mod, but the sheet is empty O_o

[thin swan]

I've never checked that menu in-game, but when you load your .tiles file in tilezed, does it show your tiles properly and in the correct positions? Because if so it should work, if your texturepack is packed correctly and placed in the correct folder and you added the .tiles and the .pack files to your mod.info so they're loaded

[thin swan]

If you want something to reference you can check the files in my first mod where I made custom tiles
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3445913478

[craggy nacelle]

you mean like this? i simply followed the tutorial/s i could find. i even put in more then one tile, because i thought it might be a problem with only one being there. used settings from the example property sheet, but nope, doesnt want those too. and when i test for it with code, i get null pointer, so there is that. 😕

[thin swan]

Hmm that is odd. If you view your .pack file, do they all show up in there?

[craggy nacelle]

uhm, how do you do that?

that pack viewer desnt seem to have buttons to use anything

[thin swan]

It's this one

And then here

[craggy nacelle]

im blind for not seeing the file XD

[thin swan]

Haha yeah it's super sneaky

Okay so it's showing properly. And you have your .tiles file directly in \media? And your .pack in \media\texturepacks?
And in your mod.info you added something like
pack=yourPack
tiledef=yourTiles 999 (a random number for ID purposes)?

[craggy nacelle]

Sir, yes Sir! 🫡

^^

also im using a 4 digits id

[thin swan]

Damn, that really should work then 🤔 Do you have an item script? Could you give it a recipe and try to build it?

[craggy nacelle]

no, havnt done anything further yet since i was getting a null pointer, so i was thinking to use the tile picker and check if i did something wrong with the name i was using

then ive seen the sheet is empty unlike the others, and iwas like 'wtf?'

[thin swan]

Oh yeah it is very sensitive naming wise, I can't remember the exact rules, but I just used existing names and added my own suffix

[craggy nacelle]

hm, ill try to cobble together some test item, brb

[craggy nacelle]

    {
        DisplayCategory = Furniture,
        Type            = Moveable,
        Icon            = default,
        Weight              = 0.1,
        DisplayName        = Goddess_Statue,
        WorldObjectSprite    = drakes_erc_tilepack_0,
    }

Tryed all kinds of naming sheems for the object, but meh, it really doesnt like to be. I can summon the 'item' just fine, but no placing possible. Also to be fair, i didnt do any custom items with tiles or stuff till now.

when the game does the same with:

    item Mov_PlasticChair
    {
        DisplayCategory = Furniture,
        Type            = Moveable,
        Icon            = default,
        Weight              = 0.5,
        DisplayName        = Plastic Chair,
        WorldObjectSprite    = furniture_seating_outdoor_01_17,
    }

it works just fine. can add the item to the inventory and then put in on the floor.

    return f
end

When your code starts looking this convoluted, it means it's nap time

[craggy nacelle]

youre just missing a goto jump command to get perfect spaghetti code.

🤪

[queen oasis]

I was always a gosub kind of guy

[craggy nacelle]

Oh, a man of taste and culture. ^^ 🎉

[fiery pecan]

has anybody gotten the "registerZone" function to work for lua-based container overrides in B42 yet?

Sorry to just barge in, btw...

[queen oasis]

getWorld():registerZone(...) ?

[fiery pecan]

.

[craggy nacelle]

Sry,, didnt try .42 modding till now. Are you saying the registerzone command doesnt work anymore or that the forcezone isnt working?

[fiery pecan]

might be both?

[queen oasis]

public Zone registerZone(String string0, String string1, int int0, int int1, int int2, int int3, int int4) {
  return this.MetaGrid.registerZone(string0, string1, int0, int1, int2, int3, int4);
}

idk about forcezone

[fiery pecan]

like, I got the zone to appear in-world.
BUT, the item picker's blasting to the logs about "ID not for for zone CustomZoneName"

[craggy nacelle]

im using getWorld():getMetaGrid():registerZone( in b.41 for zone registry and forceforzones in the distributions.ua

[fiery pecan]

one sec

[queen oasis]

it wants (name, type, x, y, z, width, height)

[fiery pecan]

Distributions.lua

    -- Police
    local LockerPolice = {name="PoliceLockers", min=0, max=99, forceForZones="PoliceLoot"}
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.changeroom.locker.procList, LockerPolice)```

zoneCreationFile.lua
```        getWorld():getMetaGrid():registerZone("PoliceLoot", "LootZone", 2033, 5983, 0, 1, 4)```

it worked fine in B41

[queen oasis]

forceForZones seems to be intact in 42

[fiery pecan]

the log warns kinda lead me to believe it's an issue with register zone

would locking the zone registry behind a function/event cause issues?

[craggy nacelle]

cant see anything missing from his register of the zone honestly

[craggy nacelle]

at least not in b41, cant see why that would change in b42?

[queen oasis]

try without getMetaGrid

in 42

[fiery pecan]

k

same issue

[bronze yoke]

it looks like any one of those events should be fine

this log message happens if the zone is not registered in ItemConfigurator, item configurator parses all zones shortly after OnLoadedMapZones

[fiery pecan]

hmmm

when does OnPreDistributionMerge fire, in regard to the forceForZones thing?

too early? Too late?

[bronze yoke]

it triggers way before, should be fine

i don't think there's a too early here

[fiery pecan]

hmm

[echo fiber]

someone please tell me what im doing wrong here, so i am working on a mod but when i go in game to try to turn said mod on it does not show up in the mod list, do i have the structure wrong for B42?

[small topaz]

In B42, does anyone happen to know some lua code which I can use to turn on the light in room where the player character is in?

[bronze yoke]

in b42 you need a common folder (even if empty) and mod.info should be in 42/

[echo fiber]

okay cuz i was looking at other mods and this is how they had theres and yea all the same info is in the 42 folder lol

thank you ill try that now

does that common folder go in the 42 folder or just free in the CodeRed folder

got it thank you so much for your help albion! trying to get back into this and they changed stuff on me XD

[tardy condor]

my progress on my panel for achievements

[echo fiber]

im struggling to size my model 😄

[fallen knot]

Okay so, originally i wanted to do this by myself but after going crazy over like 5 hours i felt that i could do myself a favor by asking for help here

i'm trying to make an auto-save mod but i noticed that it is pretty much impossible to copy files through lua modding

so i figured java was the way out, right?

[broken kayak]

When the AdjacentFreeTileFinder returns tiles that are not free, I love modding

[fallen knot]

well, i uninstalled java, re-installed it, installed eclipse (java project manager) but for some reason it shows errors everywhere

why i used eclipse and not just normal java? for some reason, java can't open zombie.jar

I used the ZomboidDecompiler linked in the wikipage, so right now i'm pretty much lost

[bronze yoke]

you should read/edit the files in the zombie/ directory, you only need zombie.jar to recompile

[fallen knot]

let me know if i'm doing something wrong but this is what pops up when i try to open the jar file

[fallen knot]

hmm, i see. that does make more sense.

sorry if i'm being too dumb with some stuff, i'm completely new to java

gamemaker coder to the core lol

[broken kayak]

also throw eclipse in the trash

where it belongs

[fallen knot]

i figured...

it's a shame i uninstalled all java related stuff thinking that was the issue, i'll have to set it up again for older MC versions haha

[broken kayak]

But yeah you need to decompile, edit code then recompile and replaced the compiled files

I must admit, I wouldn't try something like that If I wasn't at least a bit familiar with java and how things work

[fallen knot]

Do I need to use something in particular to edit the code now that I have it like this, or...?

[fallen knot]

oh trust me, I've learned like 3 coding languages already with bruteforce

it's not fun but it works

GML is very similar to java anyways

[broken kayak]

never head of that xd

[bronze yoke]

you'd want to edit the .java files ideally with a java ide, eclipse is one but most people would recommend intellij idea these days

[broken kayak]

well intellij is so MUCH better

[fallen knot]

i did find out about intelliji idea but i saw the "30 days trial" and instantly left lol

[broken kayak]

but idk if theres a free version ?

[bronze yoke]

the trial is for their paid version, they have a free community version too

[fallen knot]

oohhh

thank god

im trying that out, thank you

[bronze yoke]

i used the paid version while i was still in school and switched to the free version and cannot even work out what features are different

[broken kayak]

Well with school I got a nice discount on the whole Ultimate pack

[fallen knot]

man, it was just below

i need to have more patience

thanks a lot

[bronze yoke]

have you looked into github's student pack? i was getting it for free from there

[broken kayak]

Well no I actually didn't know there was a student thingy

[fallen knot]

I really wanna make an Auto-save mod because while I love challenges and absolutely freaking love this game, I feel that after you've got 600+ hours and you know pretty much every mechanic, losing feels rather like a complete waste of time and you didn't even learn anything at all

I wanna make it fully customizable though, so if you wanna save once per month that should be fine

[bronze yoke]

yeah, github has a student thing, if you send them proof of enrollment (or just give them a school email i think?) they give you an absurd amount of free software

[fallen knot]

to not make it so broken, of course

[broken kayak]

To be honest, I think the best way to do that would maybe to make a script that doesn't live inside Project Zomboid

[fallen knot]

i saw a python script around but i think it'd be better to make it an in-game feature

[broken kayak]

Something that watches the save files and saves the changes elswhere

[fallen knot]

and i have this policy of doing things myself if they dont exist in a first place

[broken kayak]

Well yeah but a Java mod has some HEAFTY limitations

It will probably break in some spectacular way at every updates

[fallen knot]

all it should be is saving the game to a different directory

hopefully, it shouldnt be hard

[bronze yoke]

the most usual solution to an issue like this is to write a lua mod that writes instructions to a file, and then something like a python script running outside the game that checks that file for changes and does things based on them

a java mod is a fair solution too though

just keep in mind you won't get much help with java modding since nobody really does it, and the ones that do exist are extremely basic

[fallen knot]

i spent all the evening reading through and experimenting with the game's lua library functions but all of them were about creating or deleting files, not copying

[broken kayak]

Damn, well I don't know if there was such a thing when I was still a student

[fallen knot]

i was even able to create a "test" folder world inside another game but that's completely useless as the folder is empty

the good thing about doing it via java is that i have actual documentation

i'm not exactly criticizing the game but its lua misses many stuff like executing shell code, which is the reason why in a first place i couldnt copy paste a folder

[broken kayak]

Man

You don't want to do that

Executing shell code from a software is like

One of the worst thing you can do

[bronze yoke]

it's intentional that you can't do things like that

[fallen knot]

it's definitely not the fanciest way but there werent much other options out there

[fallen knot]

i mean, yeah

otherwise we'd get like

virus mods lol

[broken kayak]

we already get those

[bronze yoke]

for copying files you'd be expected to read them and then write new ones with the same data

however i don't think you'd be able to do this in lua either way

i don't think there's a way to get at the save files from lua

[fallen knot]

i wonder how do they even work given the fact zomboid's lua is kinda limited

[broken kayak]

problem with shell exec is turning sane mod into virus

[fallen knot]

you can, superb survivors mod does it

in fact i used it as a base

but it only creates files in 'em

that's about it

[bronze yoke]

oh man, you're using that mess as a base 😅

[broken kayak]

wasn't talking about PZ specificaly

but with Kahlua, every java member is exposed in the lua

[fallen knot]

i knoww right

only for the fact they managed to create a folder, don't worry

that thing's code is a complete mess

[broken kayak]

well from what I'm seeing, Zomboid code is a complete mess

and from what I saw, every codebase out there is a complete mess

[bronze yoke]

the base game's code is messy but superb is actually a lot worse

[broken kayak]

yeah I'll trust you on that xd

[bronze yoke]

mostly owing to surviving multiple different game versions and being passed through multiple different maintainers but also just doing some straight up bizarre/insane things

[fallen knot]

the mod indefinitely creates a folder per save inside its mod folder

meaning

each time you start a new world

it just creates another folder

doesnt matter if you delete a world

[bronze yoke]

yeah, actually it's impossible to fully delete files through lua

[fallen knot]

of course they weigh basically nothing but on a long term it could accumulate an insane amount of unnecessary folders

i'm surprised it has no warning on the mod's page

[bronze yoke]

we have ways to store per-save data without creating files now so the real issue is that they never transitioned to that

[fallen knot]

it's weird because they both create files in the mod folder and save folder

lol

whats even the point

[bronze yoke]

i took a quick look at it and it looks like they just save players to the save folder

the method for saving a player is one of the few file writing methods that isn't sandboxed to specific directories

[fallen knot]

yeah

you can actually play as the NPCs

if you use the ultra super unkown choose player option on the start menu

[bronze yoke]

i think this means that if you delete the save that character data will also be deleted, which i imagine is the bulk of the size of the data the mod writes

[fallen knot]

i'd check what's the folder created in the mod folder for then, but i aint home

guess i'll check tomorrow

[bronze yoke]

literally anything they need to store that isn't characters will probably be there, i'm not aware of many other ways to write data to the save folder and the ones i do know are too limited

[fallen knot]

huh, makes sense

Anyways, I guess the "hardest" challenge I'll face when making this mod is adding options for autosaving in certain intervals, but I'll see this weekend

Thanks for the help! I was actually losing my head over that simple thing

[icy night]

So it looks like some people want me to update my "Rain Kills Campfire" so that it doesnt kill the flame if it has a certain amount of fuel. What do yall think?

I could probably add a delay of 10 minutes for every 10 fuel it has

[thin swan]

Alright, that'll do for now, there's still some animations that needs to be done, but it works well enough!

[bronze yoke]

very cool!

[queen oasis]

bruh

you did the kick flip 🙂

[thin swan]

Haha just an ollie for now, but more tricks will come! 😄

[queen oasis]

I'm old, it looks like a kick flip to me.
you got a ko-fi or something?

[thin swan]

I don't no, figured I would wait a bit and get a few mods out before doing that

Don't want to seem like I'm just wanting donations or holding off on updates

[queen oasis]

I get it, just send me a message if you set one up, aight

[thin swan]

Haha alright man, will do! 😄

[craggy nacelle]

Ok, thats just crazy and i need to know if someone run itno something like that: So i spend the whole day (and yesterday evening) on trying to get my custom tile to work.
They didnt and didnt. So now by chance, i made a new mod and since i got fed up, called it test123... and it worked. Its the same mod as before, with one, singular difference: it doesnt contain 'drake' in its folder name. O_o
I can call my mod drakesbumbelbee and it works just fine, except for loading tiles, thats a nono, and i cant figure out, why that is. Did i make to many mods that contained 'drake' in them or what?

[thin swan]

iirc the naming is super strict for the sheets and packs, it has to start with a specific name, test is one of them, so I believe you can do test_drake_your_tile

[bronze yoke]

have you tried renaming the working one to the name you wanted

it feels unlikely to actually be the name and just something weird and not obvious about how you did it the first time

[craggy nacelle]

Uh, no, thats an interesting idea

but its content and .info are the same, except the main folder name and the mod entries of said info file. but ill try it out, brb

didnt do anything with the tiles @alex - only the folder name XD

[craggy nacelle]

youre right @bronze yoke - changing the names (multiple ways containing drake) of the working mod, but it didnt do anything. O_o i cant figure out whats going on here.

its literally the same down to the id of the packs definition O_o

and now it even has the name of the not working mod, including its poster.png

as in -> not a copy but the cut out thing

... got it. o damn,

more then 24 hours for a freaking typo in the folder name. texturepacks, not texturespacks... 🥳
let this be my personal highlight in the hall of shame XD

[bronze yoke]

happens to all of us 😔

[thin swan]

Oh yeah been there! 😄

[open drum]

hey guys

could someone look at my code

and see how i should fix this?

the problem is

I tried to get getHealth() of an tile object

but if i right click a tile , for example, "floor"

then of course since it doesn't have health() it calls nil

so i put condition to return if it called "nil"

but still throwing error

function Wall_Check_Wuro(playerIndex, context, worldobjects, test)
    

    
        local valid  = worldobjects[1]

    
    if valid:getHealth() then 
    
         healthP = tostring(valid:getHealth())
        
        ObjectTexture = valid:getSprite():getTextureForCurrentFrame(N)
        
        Wuro.object = valid

        if healthP then 
        local ico = "Roll_Container"
        local wuroiconmenu = context:addOption(getText("Check Durability"), worldobjects, ThumpableInfoPanel, player);
        
        local iconPath = "media/ui/"..ico..".png"
        wuroiconmenu.iconTexture = getTexture(iconPath)
        end
    else
        return
    
    end
end

Events.OnPreFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(Wall_Check_Wuro)```

could someone tell me what im doing wrong?

[queen oasis]

if valid and valid:getHealth() then

[open drum]

still same

[icy night]

Does anyone know if a campfires fuelAmt = 10 then does that equate to the hours it has left? Or how is it measured

[queen oasis]

on my phone let me get to my computer it's hard to follow on this little screen

no getHealth on floor maybe?

ok, I re-read it. stupid question 🙂

[open drum]

hahah yea

[queen oasis]

is there a specific object you're looking for? not much has getHealth

[open drum]

exactly that's the problem.. ther'es no getHealth() function in isoObject class

like walls, crates

anthing that's thumpable

which falls under object class

i just don't understand why it keeps throwing error when i told the code to exit the function if there's no "getHealth()" data available in isoObject

[queen oasis]

maybe if instanceof(valid, "IsoThumpable") and valid:getHealth() then would work for you?

it errors because it's still trying to call it but it doesn't it

wait a minute

I really shouldn't try to help when I'm drinking

[open drum]

xD

so what's the issue?

[queen oasis]

I think if you check the instanceof you'll be ok

[open drum]

well ur code got rid of the error but stopped making the function to work in general

is instanceof(valid,"isothumapble") a function

to check if the valid is a thumpable class?

[queen oasis]

yes

Wuro.object -- is object defined somewhere before this is called?

like Wuro = { object = {} }
or if not Wuro[object] then Wuro[object] = {} end

[shut pulsar]

hey im not sure where i can give ideas but they should add greenhouses in game that you can make

[icy night]

Do y'all think I should expand my Functional Ear Muff mod to make it override the "Not safe to sleep, zombies nearby" when they wear the ear muffs to bed?

Players requested it

[queen oasis]

my wife said the same thing yesterday

[open drum]

thought they already has greenhouse mod

at least in build 41

[queen oasis]

seems to work. That's fence health

[open drum]

yea?

what did i do wrong then..

[queen oasis]

function Wall_Check_Wuro(playerIndex, context, worldobjects, test)
    local Wuro = { }

    local valid = worldobjects[1]

    if instanceof(valid, "IsoThumpable") and valid:getHealth() then
        healthP = tostring(valid:getHealth())
        print(valid:getHealth())

        ObjectTexture = valid:getSprite():getTextureForCurrentFrame(N)

        Wuro.object = valid

        if healthP then
            local ico = "Roll_Container"
            local wuroiconmenu = context:addOption(getText("Check Durability"), worldobjects, ThumpableInfoPanel, player);

            local iconPath = "media/ui/" .. ico .. ".png"
            wuroiconmenu.iconTexture = getTexture(iconPath)
        end
    else
        return
    end
end

Events.OnPreFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(Wall_Check_Wuro)

that what I used

[open drum]

oh?

it works..

wtf...

why didn't it work before?

thank you jim

[queen oasis]

might be you're only checking the first object in the worldobjects table?

[open drum]

yea

[queen oasis]

no worries, sorry I'm a little slow on the uptake right now

[open drum]

u saved another day @queen oasis

i was about to bomb the world , out of stress

[queen oasis]

that could be fun if they forget to take them off before sleeping

[open drum]

is instanceof() function a native lua function that checks for given parameter variable to a class name?

[queen oasis]

it is. basically it's cast to class, like IsoPlayer, ItemContainer, etc

[open drum]

gotcha

thanks

learned a new thing today

[queen oasis]

my favorite right now is

-- look at that code below... combo stacks can eat me
for i = 1, #items do
    local item = items[i]
    local comboItems = instanceof(item, "InventoryItem") and { item } or item.items
    for j = 1, #comboItems do
        -- do your thing with the item
    end
end

wish I could get the same to work for world inventory context menus

[open drum]

{ item } or item.items

what is this checking?

if it has item within an item?

[queen oasis]

the inventory pane items, what you click on, can be a single item or a stack of items, which would be item.items here

that function just rolls it all together

[open drum]

ahh

understandable

[brave bone]

quick question:

    {
        category = Player,
        clip
        {
            event = Character/Survival/Whistle/Blow,
        }
    }

event = Character/Survival/Whistle/Blow, <- how do i change this to my own audio.

does it follow file = media/sound/AEBS/Float/VoicedFloat_-39.7.ogg or that is a different thing.

[bronze yoke]

you can use file instead of event

[brave bone]

thank you. 🙂

Greeings, A subscriber of my truck has an issue where he left my car at his base then when he came back it was upside down, any idea if it's an issue with my mod?

It never happened to me with any vehicle

Also, is there any way to make the hood accesible from inside the vehicle instead of outside?

[main pasture]

Yes. You can make your own version of Vehicles.Use.EngineDoor(Vehicles.lua) that only checks if you are in a vehicle currently. You just need to decide how you want it triggered because you can't use areas inside the vehicle

If you want to have the mechanics menu open from the radial menu, inside a vehicle, without debug mode cheats, you have to edit ISVehicleMenu.onMechanic (ISVehicleMenu.lua) as it currently forces you out of the vehicle and in front of the hood before opening the menu

[granite ginkgo]

Thanks!

[granite ginkgo]

But what about this?

[slim swan]

U can get some idea from here

https://www.gameuidatabase.com

[tardy condor]

oh ty i go look it

[silent zealot]

Was the mod updated between him leaving & returning? Other than that I don't see how that happened, since vehicles just sit still not moving (i.e.: no physics calcs) when not in use/being rammed

And it's not likely anything called setAngles().

So I'd just ask if they can reproduce the issue, if it's a weird one-off then it's not worth investigating.

[topaz tangle]

holy crap thats bright

I’ve been doing a bit of work on trailers for a mod I’m making and I cannot for the life of me figure out why they won’t attach properly

does anyone perhaps know why why this would be?

[main pasture]

Is there "trailer" in the vehicle name, because that is how the game determines it should work like one?

[fiery pecan]

I actually saw through a discord VC stream that this indeed happens. Trailer was fine. Walked away, came back. Trailer's upside-down.

I'd also like to ask if anyone else is having issues with loot distributions, specifically with "forceForZones="?

[topaz tangle]

yes, i also added it infront of the vehicle name and this has changed nothing

[fiery pecan]

do you have attach points in the trailer and truck scripts?

[topaz tangle]

yes

i can attach it but it just tows it around like a car would for another car

[fiery pecan]

hmmm

like this?

[topaz tangle]

yes

[fiery pecan]

and you did name the attachment point on the trailer like the image above, right?

with the canAttach matching as well?

[topaz tangle]

yes

i copied it from the vanilla script for trailers

no

dont touch that

[left plank]

thanks

[silent zealot]

The 360° high beam mode is certainly excessive and I hate it, but I'll leave it as an option.
I'm going to try 360° mode for normal lights, so you can drive with high beams then switch to normal to light up the immediate area around your car.

[fiery pecan]

a spam bot hit while I was afk?

[topaz tangle]

yup

[fiery pecan]

ouch

[topaz tangle]

its very interesting, quite funny aswell

[fiery pecan]

so, uhm

trailer stuff

[main pasture]

As far as I have tested, the only thing determining whether it's towed as a car or a trailer is the "trailer" in the name. Not sure why it's not recognized

[fiery pecan]

could it be a case sensitive issue?

[main pasture]

It seems to be always tested as capitalized

[topaz tangle]

ah that may be it then

[fiery pecan]

every instance I've seen was lowercase?

[topaz tangle]

first letter

[fiery pecan]

first letter lowercase

[main pasture]

B42.6 every contains("trailer") (case insensitive)

[fiery pecan]

hmmmm

Should I even make body damage to my van? (I only did the windows, also it does not have a hood and it makes it harder)

[silent zealot]

You mean so the panels look damaged as the van is damaged?

[granite ginkgo]

yeahh

[silent zealot]

I think you should, makes it look better than having a perfectly pristine veicle that is 1% away from non-existence.

[granite ginkgo]

yeah, how to do the hood damage tho?

the front should be mapped only as front, it literally has no hood, right?

[silent zealot]

I don't know how, except in some places the Hood is called EngineLid

Which amuses me

What is the script to have the vanilla van mechanics UI?

yipee, i'm finally ready to start

lol

is this normal or am i missing something out...?

[topaz tangle]

Np!
I always use the vanilla ones, but that’s mostly because I do not have the patience or artistic skill to do it custom

[fallen knot]

sorry to bother a day after, but is it normal that the project's full of errors everywhere or...?

i mightve done something wrong 🤔

i'd not care about it given the fact it's just a red marker but i heard these errors will stop me from recompiling the project

[bronze yoke]

you'll want to add the dependencies to the project

[fallen knot]

hmm, figured that could be the case

is it this by any chance?

saw the link above

oh never mind this is all full of lua files sorry lol

[bronze yoke]

zomboid decompiler gathers them for you, you just need to go to project structure and select the output/dependencies folder as a java library

[fallen knot]

ohhh gotcha, i knew it had something to do with that folder but had no idea how to set it up

thanks a bunch 🙏

[bronze yoke]

after this there'll likely still be a couple errors per file because decompilers suck

[fallen knot]

yeah, makes sense

but it's definitely better than 1000 errors lol

[fallen knot]

definitely better

thank you!

gotcha!

this is EXACTLY waht i was looking for

thank god this file has no errors

i'll be able to recompile it easily

anyone working on anything to handle disassembling some of the other items like ATM machines, cash registers, phones?

            if items:get(i):isContainer() then
                items:get(i):setContainerCapacity(capacity)
            end
        end
    end
end

I tried the easy and nope

[main pasture]

If you can't edit something in vehicle scripts that way, you can try the alternative way VehicleScript:Load(). I used this to edit scales of vehicle parts model because they don't have setters

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1430463738

Basically something like this script:Load(scriptFullName, "{part ".. partName .. "{container ".. containerName .. " {capacity = ".. tostring(capacity) ..",}}}")

[fallen knot]

hopefully this'll be the last time i need to ask for help before finishing my mod!!

now that i've finished setting up a prototype for my mod, how do i recompile the files back? can i recompile just some of them or is it necessary to recompile the project as a whole?

[queen oasis]

if I can't figure it out, I'll have a look at it. thanks!

[bronze yoke]

javac -cp "dependencies/*";"zombie.jar" FileToRecompile.java

[fallen knot]

gotcha, thanks a lot

i'll try it out

it worked!

Hi! In lua B42, is it possible to get the light source of the room the player is currently in? Something like
player:getRoom():getLightSource()
??

[fallen knot]

even when i recompile the file with no changes

hmph

i'll try something

[main pasture]

This works for me when it's run at game boot (only up to 1000 capacity and requires at least reloading the vehicle script?) ```if script:getPartById("TruckBed") ~= nil then
script:Load(script:getName(), "{part TruckBed{container{capacity = 1000,}}}")
end

[fallen knot]

nope

tragedy_genocide

guess i'll try out different decompilers until one magically works

could it be because i'm using the wrong JDK version????

[tardy condor]

I think you need JDK 11

not sure

[fallen knot]

i looked up online and it says latest B41 uses 17.0.1

so i just installed and setup that one

we'll see

thanks though 🙏

[tardy condor]

i see it too but here say 19 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2748451514 ^^'

[fallen knot]

wait

in order to use the javac -cp command

i must have java installed, obviously

it may be that what is using the wrong java version

gotta change the path variable i guess

[fallen knot]

i had already done this. just tried compiling this java file instead of the other decompilation and it magically worked

[bronze yoke]

over the last few years i've spent an insane amount of time trying to get my computer to stop using java 8

Is there any way to set the time of day and for Zomboid to continue after that hour in a server? I'm using

getGameTime():setTimeOfDay([number]);

But it always reverts back to the past hour value after 10 minutes in-game pass.

[fallen knot]

maybe you're setting it on client and not on server? sorry if that sounds stupid i'm not experimented with server modding

[bronze yoke]

yeah, if you're in multiplayer that'd do it

i've used this in the debug console in singleplayer and it hasn't reverted

      local s = carScripts:get(i):getName() .. "{part " .. containerType .. "{" .. partName .. "{capacity = " .. tostring(capacity) .. "}}}"
      carScripts:get(i):Load(s)
  end
end

no idea what I'm doing wrong

I tried subbing "TruckBed" in for the containerType and id but no dice

[main pasture]

Load takes two arguments, the name of the script and the script string

[queen oasis]

ha, omg thanks

didn't fix the issue I was hoping it would fix though

[main pasture]

The trunks are formated like this: part TruckBed { container { capacity = x, } } So should the partName be "container"?

[queen oasis]

ye it works fine after fixing that
carScripts:get(i):Load(carScripts:get(i):getName(), s)

Wait it is updated, at least in a new vehicle. But the capacity also didn't revert after disabling the editing

this feels like i wasted a saturday completely

[fallen knot]

not a bad idea, other times i've fixed things i had been dealing for hours just a couple of minutes after i've taken a rest

[craggy nacelle]

Hm, does anyone know if i can just add a command to an item and get it to work as a constant light source? Tried to find an example by going throu existing light sources from vanilla, but their commands dont seem to work?

Uh, just to say, i dont want to have to solve it with lua. Just thought it might be a nice addition to the item standing around.

[queen oasis]

whoops... I think that means it's nap time

[fallen knot]

yoooo!

i'm getting there!!

[fallen knot]

does anybody know how to get seconds?

i wrote this

      if (GameTime.instance.getHour() == 0 && GameTime.instance.getMinutes() == 0 && GameTime.instance.getGameWorldSecondsSinceLastUpdate() == 0) {
         createAutoSave();
      }

but

now it doesnt create an auto save anymore

it worked with

      if (GameTime.instance.getHour() == 0 && GameTime.instance.getMinutes() == 0) {
         createAutoSave();
      }

but it'd execute every frame until a minute passed

so that was overwhelming

[broken kayak]

Timestamp maybe ?

[fallen knot]

i think this might just do it

oh wait i'm stupid

there we go

oh wait

no this wont work

[broken kayak]

Theres also LuaManager.GlobalObject.getTimestamp which would get you the time passed since the start of the game in seconds i believe

[fallen knot]

ohh, that's what you meant

well, in case this doesn't work i'll try what you suggest

thanks

lmao i'm so stupid

[broken kayak]

Why the boolean guard ? is this just to only save once every two call ?

[fallen knot]

gethours survived returns only hours, so it'll execute createAutoSave until another hour happens until i add this boolean check

or that's my theory to solve it, at least

testing it rn

[fallen knot]

guess it's not a 1 digit number

nothing happened

hum

is there any way i can debug java variables?

you know, to see how do they look like

yipeee!!

this worked like a charm

yup, looks about right

alright, this mod's 100% done on the technical side!

now onto customization lol

thanks a lot @broken kayak and @bronze yoke, both of you were of great help. if you don't mind and you want, may i credit you once i release this to the workshop?

[gilded crescent]

This is definitely going to be a staple in my load order, and I feel like that's not only going to be me

[fallen knot]

Thanks!! I got the idea to do it about 3 days ago because I was complaining about losing progress and therefore time

then i realized the solution was simply to make an auto save feature

[gilded crescent]

Yeah, I'm surprised the game doesn't have one built in and also surprised that no one else has made this yet, I had the same issue, too many things happening that reset progresss a bit

[fallen knot]

I hope eventually they implement it, but for now, I'll try to do my best at doing it for myself lol

right now it only auto saves daily

but I'll make many versions so you can also autosave weekly, monthly, and even yearly

the last one will be definitely hard to test out though lol

[gilded crescent]

yeah lol, you could probably use the game speed debug option, I think it's under general debuggers, just crank it. that is if it uses in game time like I think it does based off the code

[fallen knot]

max speed up is 1000.

if i set up day length to 25 minutes maybe it shouldnt be so bad

[gilded crescent]

yeah that might be the best option, might be hard to track if it's actually one year or not depending on how fast that would actually go

either way, I'm sure you'll figure that part out, I can't wait to see this on the workshop

[fallen knot]

Thanks for the hype!! I'll do my best

[gilded crescent]

You're very welcome!! I'm sure it'll go well

😐 so apperently .pack don't need tile definitions cause it kinda act like a packager as so the file extension says it is a "pack", i really thought that was a requirement. been fidling with tile definitions for a few days now. 😐

unless you are making tiles

[craggy nacelle]

yeah, tricky stuff. in essence, the pack file is the tilesheet with the tile graphics, while teh tiledefinition is... well the definiton of what the tile does. did try to find my own way into those for the last few days (all begining with the innocent tought of: oh wouldnt it be nice to have your own item for this code... XD ).

[brave bone]

yeah lol. funny stuff.

local totalRadius = 0

local function trackSoundRadius()
    local player = getPlayer()
    if not player or player:isDead() then return end

    local weapon = player:getWeapon()
    if weapon and weapon:isRanged() and not player:isDoShove() then
        local radius = weapon:getSoundRadius()
        if not player:isOutside() then
            radius = radius * 2
        end

        table.insert(attackRadius, radius)
        totalRadius = totalRadius + radius
    end
end

local function onPlayerAttackFinished()
    trackSoundRadius()
end

Events.OnPlayerAttackFinished.Add(onPlayerAttackFinished)```

I keep getting errors that my counter wont work

"Objects tried to call in nil in trackSoundRadius"

So I tried to simplify it to just track the amount of attacks: ```local shotsFiredTotal = 0

local function countAttacks()
local player = getPlayer()
if not player or player:isDead() then return end

local weapon = player:getWeapon()
if weapon and weapon:isRanged() and not player:isDoShove() then
    shotsFiredTotal = shotsFiredTotal + 1
end

end

local function onPlayerAttackFinished()
countAttacks()
end

Events.OnPlayerAttackFinished.Add(onPlayerAttackFinished)```

But even that one wont work

[queen oasis]

does player have a getWeapon()?

[queen oasis]

41 or 42 I should ask that first

[icy night]

42

and ig not

[queen oasis]

maybe getPlayer():getPrimaryHandItem() then check if it's a weapon and if it's ranged?
