[glass osprey]

o7

[buoyant violet]

already did my test in MP

its working

even the silly ammo belt thing

as for the stats, server authorizes any stat modification, same concept as with RAF

[bright fog]

But the problem when you modify a weapon script is that it will modify it for every single weapons no ?

So shooting two guns at once will end up with them fighting for their appropriate stats ?

Unless I misunderstood what you did

[buoyant violet]

Ah no

It's not modying the script sorry

The weapon instance

It's just doing normal setters and getters

(SetReloadTime etc etc..

[silent zealot]

That's why I made Universal Simple Silencers, which lets the silencer from Simple Silencers work on anything (included modded) by editing the attachment stuff at runtime.

Would be nice if there were standard ammo types.

Actually that is a goodidea for the requests channel.

[buoyant violet]

what I did personally for my mod is that I scan each item that uses ammotype and I change it to mine in case someone puts a weapon outside my mod pack

guess to ensure its in some way usable

[willow tulip]

lol

[willow tulip]

Its actually fine to do that in SP 😛 it only causes problems in MP if the server is also simulating gunshots (I believe it likely does for a number of the values)

[silent zealot]

Some properties are per-item, some are per-script.

[willow tulip]

Yea

[buoyant violet]

modying script is not recommended honestly

as it will affect all new future items

[silent zealot]

You can tell by looking at the getThing() function in java; if it returns this.thing it's per item, if it returns this.getScriptItem().getThing(); it's per script.

[willow tulip]

yea

[buoyant violet]

I normally do all my operations on the instanceitem normallt

[silent zealot]

I wouldn't want to change the script for a feature that wasn't an intended permanent change for every item of that type, but you can do most of what you need for weapons with item-specific changes.

#mod_portal message

Any other "people want this in mods" calibres I should add to that?

[buoyant violet]

i think that this is when the community should leverag something

instead of askign the devs for items that wont be used to be honest

[silent zealot]

If you try to make a "community firearms pack" you'll still end up with it being ignored.

[buoyant violet]

this is the goal of the weapons framework honestly, is to provide useful functions of things almost all gun modder develops

not a community firearm pack

but I am working on the framework for functionality

all the things I have shown in my videos are systems that come from the framework rather than exclusive to my weapon pack

[bronze yoke]

the main reason community frameworks don't get used is because they aren't useful

if you create something that actually has the features a modder wants they will usually prefer to use it

some people will always prefer to do it themselves but they wouldn't play nice with vanilla ammo either

[buoyant violet]

yeah hence why im trying to make the functionality of the framework optionals, yet they wont break anything if not used

as for you know items that people define

that has to be the author, nothing we can do about that

[bright fog]

That's literally what I said 😅

[blissful seal]

Instead of frameworking, i just add compatibility api to my stuff, if people wanna play nice with my weapon mod, its a 3 line change in nearly every case

(i did framework tooltips tho(sorry albion, thats kidna ur thing) but i did it anyway, cuz i was tired of ppl breaking my tooltips

it didnt make sense to add a shitton of ISToolTip metatable hacking to my weapon mod specifically so i put it in a framework :p

[dull moss]

😔

[buoyant violet]

I did for my first mod. But the new framework im releasing im also releasing my weapons along to show case the fratures

Features* i feel its important for a mod to show case them

[blissful seal]

thats a good idea, did the same thing for my tooltip library to show how it can be used effectively

its only a few weeks old and I found a mod thats actually using it already

[buoyant violet]

can you link me your mod?

does it work to hide some tooltips?

[frank lintel]

where are the attributes listed at need to look up 'Brave' and exactly what it does

[thin swan]

Pretty sure that got nuked by the reflection removal

We can only add now I think

[buoyant violet]

oh shit

I indeed wanted to see something with tooltips haha

[frank lintel]

No-one? just need be pointed in the right direction to look for a specific trait and what it does exactly

[dull moss]

Have you tried looking through the media folder for "brave"?

[small topaz]

is there any kind of new "special" procedure we need to update our mods?

[frank lintel]

if you suggesting that every trait is listed in its own file...?

plus dont matter someone answered what 'grapple' buff was about

[bronze yoke]

traits don't really have 'attributes'

the game has hardcoded checks for specific traits across the codebase when calculating things like chances

so to find out what a trait does, you need to look for all usages of the trait in the codebase, there isn't a central place where it's defined

[small topaz]

For me when trying to update, I got an "error requesting steam to update item" immediately when I click the in-game "create and update" button. It doesn't even try to load anything.

Maybe a known linux issue since one of the most recent game updates?

[frank lintel]

thats why I was asking where in the code they hide I was gonna sift thru it looking see if something changed from 41 <> 42

[dull moss]

No, I was suggesting opening media folder in IDE of your choice and searching in all files for brave

[frank lintel]

because likely its in java... not Lua.. as someone already stated hardcoded. lets just leave it at that.

[dull moss]

Well ye that would be your option after checking Lua

[crisp fossil]

is there an event that can be used when ClothingItemExtra is pressed?

[silver atlas]

hello,
how do I make transmission set to never in .lua ?
SandboxVars.ZombieLore.Transmission = 4
is it ok?

I did on AReallyCDDAy.lua
I got bitten, my character has fewer and anxious right now....what did I do wrong?

CDDA.OnInitWorld = function()
...
SandboxVars.ZombieLore.Transmission = 4

under these settings

I think that doesn't work

[blissful seal]

hiding is possible for the world object surfaces but many of those dont have an existing tooltip, if you can explain your usecase I'd be happy to add some functionality
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3694097672

[blissful seal]

Im not sure if its possible to disable transmission for bites, scratches yes, but not bites maybe im wrong tho -- u could just load the game in debug mode, and turn on godmod for a sec 😂

mmk yeah I looked into DoSpecialToolTip actually will hide the tooltip for us pretty easily....anyhoo happy to add that if you're interested

[bronze yoke]

the problem is moreso hiding specific elements from the vanilla tooltip

starlit had api for this but it didn't seem possible to reimplement without reflection

you usually don't want to just nuke the whole thing

[dry stone]

how difficult/hacky is it to add a new crafting skill (chemistry)? i know fleshing out recipes and stuff is a mountain of work, I'm just wondering how technically involved it is

[bronze yoke]

if it's literally just the adding of the skill, there's not much to it

as you say the complexity is in fleshing it out and justifying it as an entire skill

[dry stone]

I've just been thinking zomboid could use a real tech mod.. tons of ideas and I don't have a clear vision yet

but chemistry is something that could support a ton of tech things

[blissful seal]

ya that sounds cool, tech progression/crafting progression stuff is a great mod surface

[upbeat turtle]

real

[bronze yoke]

chemistry sounds like something that would need a lot of original items to work, and probably would want to reach out further than vanilla crafting would allow

[dry stone]

People will love or hate this idea: Gasoline realistically goes bad within 6 months, and works like crap after about 3

long term you'd have to do something like biofuel, and there are ways...

[blissful seal]

its tractable for non inventory item tooltips specifically

[bronze yoke]

i see... starlit was only concerned with item tooltips

[upbeat turtle]

they did something rlly interesting with this concept in one of the twd spinoffs. tldr: corpses emit methane. methane can be converted into liquid fuel. zombies = fuel might be a bit op though xD

[dry stone]

Heh I was thinking algae farms

would be cool to make a base that generates its own fuel

[blissful seal]

"100 years later" mod

[upbeat turtle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/me-atrapaste-es-cine

we need more autoproduction mods fr

[blissful seal]

someone drop Feed the Zed modpack

[dry stone]

If i had magic powers to snap my fingers and make the mod happen.. it would basically be gregtech for zomboid.

[blissful seal]

fuckyeah

[upbeat turtle]

yeah, i think beyond crafting it could potentially need some custom tiles(?) and other mechanics on the side

[dry stone]

and there's no way a mod like that could exist without going deep into both chemistry and electrical.. and most of hte other skills lol

[upbeat turtle]

there's a good handful of vanilla assets for tiles which could totally be repurposed for this type of concept

[blissful seal]

now we have crafting stations its feasible, prolly as much design work as actual programming to be comprehensive

[dry stone]

"The world has ended, but Moore's Law did not"

[blissful seal]

where we gon end up rimworld hypertech?

[dry stone]

I mean this is just a daydream right now lol

[upbeat turtle]

cybernetics mod xD

[dry stone]

but man, if only. maybe if I start doing one little thing at a time

[blissful seal]

keep dreaming ponyboy 🙂

[dry stone]

My favorite mods are stuff like plumbing and solar panels

I love the complexity

[blissful seal]

my dream would be something like computercraft

[upbeat turtle]

all it takes is doing a lil bit of work here and there. building the concept over time. what i've learned about zomboid modding is the skys the limit ~ all it takes is dedication

[dry stone]

computercraft sounds a lot like the PZDos mod I've been workin on

[blissful seal]

ohhh do tell

[dry stone]

It's a lua+java mod, but it makes dos work within zomboid. You can build computers from retro components, use them, install software on them

if its an old dos game you can play it.

[blissful seal]

lmfao youre a savage

[dry stone]

technically you could even install emulators on it and play nintendo games

[blissful seal]

im gonna throw up

[upbeat turtle]

doom in zomboid?

[blissful seal]

thats so sick

[dry stone]

Oh yeah, doom works

[upbeat turtle]

helllll yeaah xD

[dry stone]

If it works in dosbox it's basically working in zomboid at this point

[upbeat turtle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/rip-and-tear-doom-1

[blissful seal]

id love an in-game scriptable computer to do automation stuff

Doomzoid

[dry stone]

The hard part of PZDos was multiplayer sync.. it's technically file sharing. Your buddy opens the computer, he needs to see the files and games and stuff you made.

[upbeat turtle]

thats a neat rabbit hole to go down with the programmable computers concept

project factorioboid

[blissful seal]

lmfao exactly

[dry stone]

I don't have any way for the computers to interact with the game world.. Like if zomboid had a redstone equivalent I'd be all over the idea

[blissful seal]

that sounds diabolical

[dry stone]

I do plan to make em interact with each other so people can play multiplayer dos games

[upbeat turtle]

it's feasible with java modding, i'm fairly certain

[dry stone]

Almost anything is feasible if you hack things enough lol...

[upbeat turtle]

some lua stuff that's already available is like adding/removing tiles for example

[bronze yoke]

all things are feasible with java modding

you can rewrite the entire game

[dry stone]

I never figured out how to do much beyond basic reflection ... It would be helpful to replace vanilla zomboid java code

so far I've avoided any need to

[blissful seal]

ask claude

[bronze yoke]

the simplest way is to just replace the class entirely, but the maintenance burden will get pretty absurd that way

i recommend using something like zombiebuddy

[upbeat turtle]

java modding is fun

[dry stone]

But yeah, PZDos is almost feature complete and in "million little things to fix" mode

[blissful seal]

badass will def try it when its ready

[dry stone]

Theres lots of little pics and a couple early videos I made of it in this channel

but today? Friday. Home from work. Sat+Sun = mod days hehe

[blissful seal]

bet

[dry stone]

that's why I'm in here asking about tech mods 😄

[upbeat turtle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/hacker-pc

[dry stone]

that photo is how I feel right now

So.. if I go LUA-only for a tech mod... what if I totally want to repurpose generators? No range, actually connect them to a building... whole new power system.

[blissful seal]

u can do dat i think

[upbeat turtle]

could be done in lua

[bronze yoke]

power is nightmarish to work with in lua

[dry stone]

Heh, I figured it probably wouldn't be easy.. if it were that mod would exist right

[bronze yoke]

i think there is a mod that does that

[blissful seal]

ive seen one that makes like a generator network

[upbeat turtle]

having a genny connect to a single building is pretty straightforward

[bronze yoke]

you can't manually set a device as powered or connect it to a generator or anything, nor can you change the range of a generator

[dry stone]

Hm maybe its just something I haven't stumbled on yet

Its just that a big component of a tech mod would almost have to be wiring of some form

so the "magic generator range" mechanic really gets in the way

[upbeat turtle]

using custom tiles for wiring would work well

[bronze yoke]

i was working on something like that and it felt increasingly likely that it would be easier to just go around the vanilla power system entirely than try to work with it

[upbeat turtle]

but yah, you might run into some limits with the power-specific api

[dry stone]

I'm already thinking about tiles heh.. pipe + wire = wire conduit

[blissful seal]

if thats the case then it would be fun to come up with some kind of pz-esque lore way to explain an alternate power system

i mean there are zombies you can add a lil sci fi

[dry stone]

I'm not against this either.. I wonder if its possible to make lights and stuff work with no generator through some other hackery

[blissful seal]

force world shutoff lmao

[dry stone]

if its like a year from now and somehow this idea takes off... sci fi from me is almost guaranteed.

[bronze yoke]

you can do lights manually, my biggest concern was fridges

i think my plan was to also give up on the vanilla fridge system and revert the age of the food manually when it loads or whatever

[blissful seal]

i wrote my own scifi-horror lore for my weapon mod to explain why your weapons can set zombies on fire now

[dry stone]

but burning zeds are even worse tha non-burning ones lol

[blissful seal]

but its fun!

[dry stone]

it takes them about 3 years to finally burn to death and they set everything on fire lol

[blissful seal]

thats just one of the affixes, you could get knockback, or crit damage, or w.e else

i havent managed to fully burn down my base with one of the fire affixes yet

whats a couple burnt walls between friends

[dry stone]

Make a special super shotgun. on kill, make them ragdoll and apply a backwards force of 9000

[blissful seal]

lmao yea probably will do that

[dry stone]

just imagine them launching off the screen haha

[blissful seal]

i did add a stagger affix

forces zombie stagger on hit chance, pretty funny to see when you have a screwdriver

is there like a zombie:ragDollEnabled() 😂

[dry stone]

Is it like diablo? "Lord's Screwdriver of Shanking"

[blissful seal]

Exactly

weapons gain affixes on kill thresholds

guns too

[dry stone]

I'd probably break them too fast haha

[blissful seal]

they repair when they awaken

thresholds are also scaled by Condition Lower Chance

so u can see a kitchen knife become badass 😂

[dry stone]

Heh, do that and add level-ups that fully heal you (and remove zombie virus)

suddenly it's now an action rpg

[blissful seal]

hahah maybe one day shit, it is going very rpg

[dry stone]

Can't wait for the new jetpack armor ^.^

[blissful seal]

Crimson Zomboid

[dry stone]

That's the kinda mod you'd see privatelime make a mini series around

[blissful seal]

for sure

the Crazy RP servers basically do that without all the fun game-y rpg stuff

[dry stone]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3478628177

I think that's the mod that makes generators work for buildings

looks like it adds its own unique type of generator rather than change vanilla ones

actually looks like a GREAT mod heh

[blissful seal]

mans only updated it 5 times across two days

last year

[dry stone]

Yeah, and comments saying its outdated.. Well a proof of concept is good enough for me

[blissful seal]

ya for sure

[dry stone]

Maybe I'll just ignore vanilla generators and do my own thing like he did

[bronze yoke]

the thing is you can't 'just' do your own thing, you can't set a device to be powered

i'm not sure how this mod works but if there's vanilla power there is actually a real generator involved somewhere

i remember a couple mods that used invisible generators to power larger areas

i don't know if that's how they're doing this though, i feel like it'd be really obvious if it ended up powering the next door building too by coincidence

Ok that mod is basically making fake generator source positions in every room of the building

i guess that trick lives on then

[dry stone]

maybe.. last update about a year ago...

[gray minnow]

anyone know of any ios ports i have the game on pc but it would be good on mobile

[bright fog]

Nah

The only project for a mobile port is Zomdroid

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Zomdroid

[modest oak]

when custom animsets for custom animals :D

[bright fog]

[bright fog]

You can already work without these rn

[modest oak]

wgat

[bright fog]

Yea

https://github.com/PZ-HorseTeam/HorseMod

People that overwrite existing AnimSets are just stupid 💀

It has always been possible to not overwrite anything

[mint wind]

Sorry this isn't mod development related but I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me on how the foraging system works now? I am looking at the game files and its mentioning forest etc, but in game I see organic forest, farmland forest and other such

[willow tulip]

Anyone here willing to test my Base Saver mod? (Lets you save/load buildings between save games/PZ versions, including container contents and floor items)

[silent zealot]

Assuming you mean B42? There are forage zones defined as a bunch of rectangles, circles, polygons and polylines. These all have a type. They can overlap and I'm honestly not sure how that works in practice. Go to https://b42map.com/ and overlays -> Foraging to see the zones.

That info is stored with the map.

Then lots of stuff in media/lua/shared/Foraging/ to control what is found where

[hexed stirrup]

does true here means anti cheat on or anti cheat off

confused cuz the comment says disables

so is that enabled or disabled

[silent zealot]

I thin true means the cheat is off.

Is that the default?

[hexed stirrup]

yes

[silent zealot]

I rmemeber being very confused but eventually figuring out the default was all off.

[hexed stirrup]

good thanks

[fast laurel]

Is there any kind of advanced logging mod out there for MP servers? Like if we had someone being sneaky and tossing molotovs into someone's base but weren't there to see it happen that we'd be able to check the logs for that kind of event and see "whodunit"

[paper ibex]

try check the log file like 2026-xx-xx_xx-xx_item.txt

[willow tulip]

None of that does anything

B42 PZ has no anticheat outside of lua checksum

[paper ibex]

no? since b41 when the character gain huge amount of XP in a short time, the game kick that player out of the server. I tot that is a kind of anti cheat.

btw many b42 mods suggest server owner to disable lua checksum, this is so bad for server management.

[willow tulip]

they where all removed for B42

there some leftover anticheat code but its... extremely under referenced and not actually used

[dull moss]

Probably removing old stuff before implementing new stuff from scratch

My guess

[tacit pasture]

I love this mod by @jagged fulcrum . Is there a way to make something similar where you can build it in the game like you can a hamm radio? Starting out it's a little OP but if you could level your skills it would be a useful tool for the more dangerous areas. Maybe make it so that it ticks up one of your important slots?

[buoyant violet]

ok, shark gave me an idea. basically using muzzle flash fx for the explosion. how this looks?

[knotty stone]

Okayish i would say, if you take a look at escape from kentucky / modern firearms, it looks like this.

[blissful seal]

idk shit about guns, if you shoot a grenade launcher does it do a flash or an actual fiery explosion?

for me both of those work honestly, the zombies are already ragdolling my brain fills in the rest

[buoyant violet]

shoot behind a building and tell me if you still see the explosion

[torn igloo]

function ISToggleGenerator:isValid()
    if self.generator then
        if not self.generator:isConnected() then return false end
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

What is so wrong about if not self.generator:isConnected() then return false end that the TimedActions keep saying bugged action??!

[buoyant violet]

ah explosion is kinda like a big bullet impact to be honest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x10eF7JrDic

[knotty stone]

yea its visible

[buoyant violet]

thats why im taking the approach of a 3d object instead

what mod is that ? never seen it

[blissful seal]

ppl love that one, modern firearm systems

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3633421539

I'm tryna get homie to add compatibility for my mod cuz ppl ask about it so much

[knotty stone]

yea its that one, but iam using my private version, since that guy just copy pasted my stuff to fix his mod 😄

[blissful seal]

i feel like thats gonna happen regardless

[buoyant violet]

wtf

[blissful seal]

all kinds of 3d models in that mf

[buoyant violet]

2.5 gb? miss me with that dawgs

[blissful seal]

i mean its not my kinda mod 😂

i feel like if you want that kinda gun experience go play Arma or DayZ lmao

still got 40k subs tho 🤣

[buoyant violet]

maybe im im concern about keeping stuff optimized in line with the game

that when I see a 2gb mod its an automatic no for me

almost like AI thumbnails lol

[blissful seal]

one day you wont be able to tell the difference 🤷

[buoyant violet]

on what

[blissful seal]

ai thumbnails

[buoyant violet]

let me respond with this

[blissful seal]

🤷

that wasnt an insult to your intelligence, just a comment on technology

[buoyant violet]

if or not they will be like that in the future, there is no workaround that currently, they look like absolute shit without soul

[blissful seal]

its cool to feel strongly about this, i do not

[buoyant violet]

nothing to do with my intelligence, just feel its a overhyped technology

[blissful seal]

people said that about the internet too

and cars, and electricity...

seems silly in hindsight

[mellow frigate]

Hi, can someone tell me the prerequisites for taking/placing lightswitches in B42 ? I am not able to take them with the moveable take option (lvl 10 electrical).

[blissful seal]

i thought that only took 6 -- could be a mod im using tho

[sonic needle]

[silent zealot]

Can you give us some more context? Is that a vanilla thing breaking, or something you added?

Also, if you havn't already confirmed exactly why it's invalid add some print statements to find if if self.generator is nil or self.generator is a thing but self.generator:isConnected() is returning false

[paper ibex]

not just about :isValid() TimedAction should come with a set of functions

[cinder storm]

finally getting around to fixing my mod for 42.16

require 'recipecode'

function Recipe.OnCreate.FromConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local box = items:get(0);

    for i = 0, results:size() - 1 do
        local resultItem = results:get(i);
        if box:getModData()["condition" .. i] then
            resultItem:setCondition(box:getModData()["condition" .. i])
        end
    end
end

function Recipe.OnCreate.ToConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();

    local box = results:get(0);
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i);
        if item:getCondition() ~= item:getConditionMax() then
            box:getModData()["condition" .. i] = item:getCondition();
        end
    end
end```

and i look back on this code after getting two exceptions from it

im thinking about scrapping it altogether, on one hand im not sure if it even works at all, but removing it could cause more issues with the mod since some craftrecipes rely on it for checking the condition of items from when they were packaged

[bright fog]

💀

[bright fog]

It should work, the main problem is that you are trying to store the function in a table that no longer exists

[cinder storm]

thats what i was thinking

i gotta check to see if theres anything new i can use

[bright fog]

You need to store this in your own global module or in a global function

[bright fog]

You don't have to use anything of the base game here

The function just needs to be accessible globally

[cinder storm]

alright, so just declare a global function

[bright fog]

Yea

Make sure it has a unique name

[cinder storm]

it was craftRecipeData that was removed, correct?

[bright fog]

I don't think so no ?

[cinder storm]

or player

[bright fog]

None of these ?

Why do you think that ?

[cinder storm]

i might be looking at the wrong thing

[cinder storm]

what were you talking about here?

[bright fog]

The Recipe table no longer exists

That's it

[cinder storm]

ah crap

[bright fog]

Store it in your own global table or just in a global function

[cinder storm]

require 'recipecode'

global function boxMoreRecipe = {
    
}

function boxMoreRecipe.OnCreate.FromConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local box = items:get(0);

    for i = 0, results:size() - 1 do
        local resultItem = results:get(i);
        if box:getModData()["condition" .. i] then
            resultItem:setCondition(box:getModData()["condition" .. i])
        end
    end
end

function boxMoreRecipe.OnCreate.ToConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();

    local box = results:get(0);
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i);
        if item:getCondition() ~= item:getConditionMax() then
            box:getModData()["condition" .. i] = item:getCondition();
        end
    end
end```

[cinder storm]

i just added global function boxMoreRecipe = {} and then replaced Recipe with the former, thanks simkdt

[cinder storm]

im gonna check on the craftrecipes to see if i need to fix anything there, this is what it looks like during debug. img 1 is before packaging, img 2 is after unpackaging

craftRecipe OpenBoxOfCrowbars
    {
        timedAction = OpenAmmoBox,
        Time = 60,
        Tags = InHandCraft;CanBeDoneInDark,
        category = Packing,
        OnCreate = ConditionInheriter.FromConditionInheriter,
        inputs
        {
            item 1 [Base.BoxOfCrowbars] flags[Prop2],
        }
        outputs
        {
            item 6 Base.Crowbar,
        }
    }

    craftRecipe PackBoxOfCrowbars
    {
        timedAction = PlaceAmmoInBox,
        Time = 60,
        Tags = InHandCraft;CanBeDoneInDark,
        category = Packing,
        OnCreate = ConditionInheriter.ToConditionInheriter,
        inputs
        {
            item 6 [Base.Crowbar;Base.CrowbarForged] flags[Prop2],
        }
        outputs
        {
            item 1 Base.BoxOfCrowbars,
        }
    }```

i'm not seeing anything inherently wrong on the craftRecipe side?

[bronze yoke]

your functions are called boxMoreRecipe.OnCreate.FromConditionInheriter etc but you're referencing them as ConditionInheriter.FromConditionInheriter

[bright fog]

Where did you even get that from ? 😅

That global keyword isn't a thing ?

[cinder storm]

it isnt?

[cinder storm]

then how should i implement a global function?

[bright fog]

You just don't put a global keyword

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Lua_(language)#Local_and_global

[cinder storm]

i removed the global keyword and added boxMoreRecipe to the craftrecipe oncreate reference

[cinder storm]

i performed the same test to the same result, the worn crowbars are still converted to full condition rather than some of the crowbars having their original condition

[bright fog]

Also that's still wrong

Bcs you're trying to add the function to a table inside the global table boxMoreRecipe

But that sub table doesn't exist

You need to read that Lua language wiki page and learn a bit about the language because here you are confusing yourself, wrongly assuming how things work

A table can hold key values combination

When you do

tbl.var = ...

It stores whatever ... is in the key var of tbl

So if you do

tbl.sub.var = ...

You try to store var key with value ... inside a table sub which is inside a table tab

[cinder storm]

should i reference the table as boxMoreRecipe = {} then?

so in turn when i run the to/fromconditioninheriter functions it does have a table to reference?

[cinder storm]

thank you, i have been referencing it but my understanding can be limited

[cinder storm]

doing this produced another exception, console said it was trying to index a non-table so im implementing it wrong again

[bright fog]

wdym ?

[cinder storm]

in the tables section on the lua language page the example is structured similarly

[bright fog]

You have to show what you did here

[cinder storm]

require 'recipecode'

boxMoreRecipe = {}

function boxMoreRecipe.OnCreate.FromConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local box = items:get(0);

    for i = 0, results:size() - 1 do
        local resultItem = results:get(i);
        if box:getModData()["condition" .. i] then
            resultItem:setCondition(box:getModData()["condition" .. i])
        end
    end
end

function boxMoreRecipe.OnCreate.ToConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();

    local box = results:get(0);
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i);
        if item:getCondition() ~= item:getConditionMax() then
            box:getModData()["condition" .. i] = item:getCondition();
        end
    end
end```

ive got this at the moment

[cinder storm]

i can get the memo here but im unsure how to implement it with what i have

[bright fog]

You STILL are trying to put shit in OnCreate

That doesn't exist

Read what I just explained above

tbl.sub.var = ...

You can't do that, because sub isn't a thing in that table

[cinder storm]

OH SO THATS WHAT YOU MEANT

so replace oncreate with my own subtable?

[cinder storm]

require 'recipecode'

boxMoreRecipe.bmOnCreate = {}

function boxMoreRecipe.bmOnCreate.FromConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local box = items:get(0);

    for i = 0, results:size() - 1 do
        local resultItem = results:get(i);
        if box:getModData()["condition" .. i] then
            resultItem:setCondition(box:getModData()["condition" .. i])
        end
    end
end

function boxMoreRecipe.bmOnCreate.ToConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();

    local box = results:get(0);
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i);
        if item:getCondition() ~= item:getConditionMax() then
            box:getModData()["condition" .. i] = item:getCondition();
        end
    end
end```

[bright fog]

You literally don't need a subtable

[bright fog]

But now you don't define boxMoreRecipe anywhere

Just put that freaking function in the main table 💀

[cinder storm]

i removed the subtable

[cinder storm]

put the functions inside of the boxMoreRecipe table?

[bright fog]

See this

I guess the way you write the functions makes it unclear

function tbl.var()
  ...
end

Stores a function in var key of tbl

It's the same as

tbl.var = function()
    ...
end

[cinder storm]

ah,

require 'recipecode'

boxMoreRecipe = {}

function boxMoreRecipe.FromConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local box = items:get(0);

    for i = 0, results:size() - 1 do
        local resultItem = results:get(i);
        if box:getModData()["condition" .. i] then
            resultItem:setCondition(box:getModData()["condition" .. i])
        end
    end
end

function boxMoreRecipe.ToConditionInheriter(craftRecipeData, player)
    local results = craftRecipeData:getAllCreatedItems()
    local items = craftRecipeData:getAllConsumedItems();

    local box = results:get(0);
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        local item = items:get(i);
        if item:getCondition() ~= item:getConditionMax() then
            box:getModData()["condition" .. i] = item:getCondition();
        end
    end
end```

so more like this?

[bright fog]

/\

[cinder storm]

so bring that back

[bright fog]

Do you understand what boxMoreRecipe is here ?

[cinder storm]

its defined as a table?

[bright fog]

It's a table, so if you don't create that table, it won't create itself

[cinder storm]

ah, alright

ill test it again

thank you for your help so far especially with my misunderstandings, i really appreciate it

[bright fog]

Sorry I haven't been too patient here

[cinder storm]

no worries, i'd be mad too if i had to explain something over and over

[cinder storm]

still doing this, i had all the conditions set differently and it did not replicate after packaging. there was 1 discrepency in craftrecipe ill adjust in a moment

alright its working perfectly after the adjustment

through some miracle spiffo has spared me from debugging any further

[buoyant violet]

should I make RAF have a spread calculator to make automatic fire more unforgiving?

[upbeat turtle]

cinema

🙌

[cinder storm]

i know the translation files updated to json, but now im struggling to get craftrecipes to have their proper display names ingame. the regular names of the items are fine, but craftrecipes have no spaces

is there something im doing wrong? they're in their proper folders, and its in UTF-8.

[bronze yoke]

should be named Recipes.json

there are no language suffixes anymore

[bright fog]

Also recipes need to be referenced with the module no ?

[cinder storm]

i think they removed that aswell based off the game files

[bright fog]

No suffix yea

I thought so

[cinder storm]

worked thanks

[cinder storm]

alright, its working great in SP, i tried to run it on a self hosted MP server and none of my items are there

is there anything i have to do from a mod-perspective on updating to be MP-compatible?

[bright fog]

Are they in a custom module ?

[cinder storm]

im not sure what you mean by that; the items are stored in scripts under Box more!\Contents\mods\Box more!\42\media\scripts

both items and craftrecipes

[bright fog]

Your module

Items are in a module

[cinder storm]

oh

no they arent in a custom module

does this mean i cant have a custom module here

[bright fog]

Wellll, that might just be the other way around idk

Try using a custom module if they don't appear

I remember some weird ass issues about that

[cinder storm]

so i did that, replaced all base. with BoxMore.

problem, now im getting this exception from one of my submods

local script = "{ inputs { item 1200 [Base.BlowTorch] mode:destroy flags[Prop2],} }"

    local recipe = getScriptManager():getCraftRecipe("PackBoxOfWeldingTorches")
    recipe:getInputs():clear()
    recipe:Load("PackBoxOfWeldingTorches", script)```

this is the script for the submod, its supposed to replace part of a recipe with that script

nevermind, i had to specify the module

[bright fog]

You said the item doesn't appear

Does it appear now ?

[cinder storm]

ill check in mp in a second, there are some other issues to address after moving modules

particularly translation again, its having the same no spaces error

[bright fog]

You always should reference other blocks by their full type

[cinder storm]

and im pretty sure i have to specify the module somewhere

[bright fog]

No spaces ?

[bright fog]

Ok man you're throwing way too many different information that seem unrelated

[bright fog]

We told you that translation files need to have a very specific naming, and that the Recipe prefix should not be there on keys

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Translation

[cinder storm]

its just recipes.json

and its under the EN folder

[bright fog]

I mean it's clearly not, the file you sent is named p21h4ms

[cinder storm]

ah

i forgot to turn that off

[bright fog]

Also it's Recipes, not recipes

[cinder storm]

its an anonymous file name thing

[bright fog]

Ah bruh

[cinder storm]

here

[bright fog]

Remove the prefix

Of keys

[cinder storm]

the Recipe_?

[bright fog]

Yes

[cinder storm]

i removed it for all translate files

trying to run it in MP now

[cinder storm]

i got it running in MP after an hour

debug mode on, all mods and some dependencies working

problem, it works perfectly in SP but in multiplayer, craftrecipes do not output

[bright fog]

The recipes need to be in the Base module

One day they'll fix that shit don't worry 💀

[cinder storm]

oh

not the items though, right?

alright its MP compatible

[willow tulip]

Does anyone know what IsoObject subclass 'water dispencers' are?

[bronze yoke]

IsoObject

[willow tulip]

.. how is it special from other isoObjects/how do I spawn one?

(when I copy a tile containing one, I get a water dispencer I can.. walk through and not interact with)

[bronze yoke]

probably forgetting to serialise components

[willow tulip]

what are those stored in?

I see a getGameEntityType() of isoObject.. though no idea how to set that/spawn a certain type...

[bronze yoke]

the isoobject

an isoobject is a kind of entity

[willow tulip]

Yea.. Im confused how to create anything but a very generic isoObject like a wall or floor.

Currently using IsoObject.new(isoCell, IsoGridSquare, IsoSprite)

(Aside from when its a derived class like IsoBarbecue or IsoClothingDryer or whatever)

[bronze yoke]

they aren't using subclasses for new features, it's a fairly outdated way of doing things

they're using components instead

isoobjects and a couple other things are gameentities which hold components

[willow tulip]

Yea but whats the function to add/get components?

oh, its from GameEntity parent class?

I was looking at IsoObject's functions -_-; keep forgeting to use firefox search instead of the top left search bar

Now to figure out how to seralize components to text and back..

Hu.. tons of things have components...

reduces scan area

Looks like water dispencers have 5..

[bronze yoke]

most have a few, and the number will continue to increase

legacy features will eventually be replaced with components as needed

[willow tulip]

looks at SpriteConfig... absolutely no setters, no constructor...

EntityScriptInfo at least has a setter...

kinda guessing seralizing the components is the wrong way to go about this...

Since I doubt I can use the vanilla load/save functions to save to a file...

sigh... depressing.

I have literally no idea how to create a non default entity... function ISMoveableSpriteProps:placeMoveableInternal( _square, _item, _spriteName ) that iv been using for other types doesn't seem to mention it at all..

[bronze yoke]

that's kinda pre-entity code

i'm not even sure what that is used for

[willow tulip]

oh.. hmm...

if obj and not _item:hasComponents() then GameEntityFactory.CreateIsoEntityFromCellLoading(obj) end GameEntityFactory.TransferComponents(_item, obj);

[bronze yoke]

movable isoobject entities just get turned into an item entity with the same components and vice versa

[willow tulip]

GameEntityFactory at least seems useful

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[willow tulip]

local f = ComponentType.FluidContainer:CreateComponent(); f:setCapacity(5.0); f:addFluid(FluidType.Water, 5.0); GameEntityFactory.AddComponent(o, true, f);

[bronze yoke]

i've used that for a couple things but i don't know if it'll help you create components that don't have setters or constructors

[willow tulip]

is something...

[willow tulip]

I mean.. LUA lets you place things.. so I assume at some point LUA has to let you create (most) of these..

[bronze yoke]

no, because lua just transfers the components from the item

[willow tulip]

... doh.

Hmmm... GameEntityFactory.CreateIsoObjectEntity(thumpable, script, true) and GameEntityFactory.CreateInventoryItemEntity(item, this, isFirstTimeCreated); seems relevaant...

Hu, the 2nd is in public InventoryItem InstanceItem(String param, boolean isFirstTimeCreated) {

[bronze yoke]

all objects and items are entities

[willow tulip]

Yea.. Im wondering if I can create the inventory item and transfer its components over... or if CreateIsoObjectEntity just makes a generic 'as spawned' version.. (I care little about copying the entity data, just creating an valid, usable entity)

ie, if you lose your leather on your drying rack, TOUGH. But id like the drying rack to at least accept new leather.

[bronze yoke]

i think i've used CreateIsoEntityFromCellLoading to spawn entities from a sprite

[willow tulip]

Lets try that then.

Hey that seems to have given me a functional, random fluid level water dispencer. thanks

(I think fluidComponent is the only accessable one anyway lol)

Thanks.. that entity stuff was starting to depress me after all the work I put into this -_-

[vast pier]

Wish I knew how to animate, cuz hema/other sword martial arts animations for being higher level long blade skill would be fantastic

[willow tulip]

Yea I just never looked at the gameEntity class before

lol at random function I found: getCloudColorReddish

reddish, lol.

also, You can safely assume there is a greenish and blueish... but.... getCloudColorPurplish .. wut?

since when do we have 4 primary colors?

also, wut: setKateBobStormCoords

Now to figure out what makes shelfs appear 'full' when you add items to them

function ISPaintSignAction:complete() if self.wall:getProperties():has("WallW") then self.sign = self.sign + 8 end self.wall:setOverlaySprite("constructedobjects_signs_01_" .. self.sign, self.r or 1.0, self.g or 1.0, self.b or 1.0, 1)

TIL painting signs is a thing?

[bronze yoke]

yeah it's a funny one

you can paint the same symbols on walls too

[willow tulip]

Iv literally never tried painting walls because I quickly decided there was far too mainy paint colors for me to find enough paint of the same color -_-

plus I didn't want to have to find MORE paint if a zombie ever smashed stuff

the whole plaster walls things too was like.. yea im not doing that

(didn't help that only time I built my own base was in B41 where there was massive issues with base building/lighting/etc)

[vast pier]

what are GLB files for models

[willow tulip]

I miss the mod that let you spraypaint random stuff on roads.

(pretty sure it wasn't updated..)

Not asa needed anymore with minimap showing symbols but... I still liked it

Now just how to figure out if a cell is close enough that it should exist/be loaded...

(game doesn't like it when I try to load a base that is far off in neverneverland)

Quick google suggests 100 tiles in every direction. good enough for me

.. Ok, not 100.. more like... 80 or something. Guess that was B41 or something

[silent zealot]

Easy: try to get a square, if it's nil then it's not loaded.

local square = getSquare(x, y, z)
if square then 
  do(stuff) -- the square is available in the active region around the player

More reliable than using distance from the player, since you don't have to guess if the loaded area size has been changed or is trying to catch up due to movement etc.

[willow tulip]

I guess that'd work if I set the Z level to 0

but nil cells also show up in mid air

[silent zealot]

true, but like you say just use z=0

and that will work until we get actual 3D ground.

[willow tulip]

yea

[silent zealot]

Sim City 2000 did this 33 years ago.

[willow tulip]

lol.

PZ actually has 'ramps' though I dunno if they are used anywhere

(or work)

[bronze yoke]

they aren't used

they do seem to work

[willow tulip]

Shame, I want a bunker with an underground parking lot -_-;

[knotty stone]

tikitown has a police station with underground parking, iam not gonna spoil you whats beneath the garagedoor ramp there ;o

[willow tulip]

Ahh map mod? Cool that someone is using them!

LOL at the lighting on them, I can see they haven't tested them in awhile

inb4 my basesaver mod explodes trying to save/load them

[willow tulip]

Damn, Now I really want that area as a base

[knotty stone]

yea the hanging lamps dont seem to work atm in that underground parking

[willow tulip]

that looks so much cooler then the moudrough police station (however you spell that)

[paper ibex]

many

[willow tulip]

Neat

[silent zealot]

They have a few issues.... https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1k7nk4u/more_fun_with_b42_ramps_and_the_laws_of_physics/

[bright fog]

The problem isn't the ramp tho

[shy mantle]

It is kinda partly the ramp's fault for being at such an angle and not smooth tbf

[bright fog]

Uh ? The problem is that water tiles can't handle things being on it, that's it

The angle is fine

[shy mantle]

It wasn't made clear, but I meant just in general, the approach and exit angle is sharp. It's possible to get a car stuck at the top.

[bright fog]

Yes but now my question to you is: who would take such a ramp with that speed ?
Of course you wouldn't, because those ramps are not meant for that, those are garage ramps where you take a slow approach
But the way these objects are implemented, literally allows you to make ramps with smoother angles, that's completely possible

That's not a problem with ramps, that's just how the ramp is, you wouldn't take a ramp with such speed in real life unless you didn't give a shit about breaking something on your car

[shy mantle]

Basically that, yeah. I'm interested in them fixing vehicle physics and slightly adjusting the ramp angle a little

[bright fog]

No but again the angle is completely fine 💀

Currently those are concept objects in the game and are not utilized at all, so they don't provide other options because those are not used, that's it
Nothing is stopping them from adding ramps with a curved entry

Same as nothing is stopping you from doing that too

[shy mantle]

I disagree

[knotty stone]

this ramp stuff is also accessible for vehicles, you can use the mesh for vehicle physics boundarys, not rly sure why xD

[bright fog]

Why that ? Have you never seen such ramps on the road lol ? Those are not uncommon in France, but you just don't find them directly on major roads where you are at high speed, those can be present in cities that's a bit vertical, or even worse if you have an underground garage

Those ramps are not abnormal, but of course you wouldn't find them on your main roads, that's normal

[bright fog]

Wdym ? Like attached to the vehicle ? How does that work ?

[knotty stone]

yea instead of box or sphere you can use mesh, but only presets from indiestone, havent played around with it much

[bright fog]

Interesting, I wonder how they handle that because from my memory in the code it only handles it as a rectangle ? Unless that's very very new

Also I didn't knew your vehicle could be a sphere ?

[knotty stone]

they also kinda sneakily introduced useChassisPhysicsCollision = false, just found it by chance

[bright fog]

Chassis refers to the main vehicle structure I suppose ?

[knotty stone]

you use the physic boxes you have declared for impact and collision and not physicschassisshape you declared

[bright fog]

Aah I see, I'm not too aware of how vehicles are created in the game

It's weird that those are different tho no ? The impact/collision in comparison with the physics chassis ?

I'll try to add that in the scripts docs

There's a huge lack of doc about vehicle scripts rn

[knotty stone]

well the physicschassisshape is just one big box, if you use it, the zombie will react as it had hit a wall, but with a real hood shape it will plant face first on it, so it kinda interacts better

[bright fog]

I see

physicschassisshape is a parameter or a block you add to the vehicle ?

[knotty stone]

just a parameter

[bright fog]

Takes an array of width length height ?

[knotty stone]

ah i thought you meant the other physicsChassisShape = 1.9130 1.9826 8.3304,

[bright fog]

Yea ok that's an array

I'll add those to the docs

[bright fog]

So to sum it up

• physicsChassisShape is a rectangle hitbox of the vehicle
• if you set useChassisPhysicsCollision to false, it will no longer use physicsChassisShape and replace it with the impact/collision boxes, which are the rectangles on your image right ?

I assume it is

        physicsChassisShape = height width length,
``` ?

[knotty stone]

yea when false it will use the physics box you declared

[bright fog]

physics boxes are blocks in the vehicle script or parameters ?

[knotty stone]

        {
            offset = 0.0000 1.9185 1.6870,
            extents = 1.7826 2.1043 2.7913,
            rotate = 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000,
        }```

[bright fog]

I see, so that id of this block, box, needs to be one of the available geometries ? So a box, or a sphere like you mentioned before, or I guess those ramp objects for some reasons ?

[knotty stone]

yea its box, sphere and mesh

[bright fog]

Ah mesh, so does it take different parameters in that block if you use the id mesh ? Or did you mean "mesh" as in the name of the physics shape ?

Is it related to that

    physicsShape ramp20segment4w
    {
        mesh = physics/ramp20|Segment4,
        translate = 3.0 0.0 0.0,
        rotate = 0.0 270.0 0.0,
    }

[knotty stone]

cant say for sure but should be physics mesh { mesh = physics/ramp20|Segment4, translate = 3.0 0.0 0.0, rotate = 0.0 270.0 0.0, }

i dont have debug on to test atm XD

[bright fog]

No worries, I'll add those info to the docs, and they can be refined

There's no example of mesh being used in the vanilla files so I can't really base myself on what the game provides rn

[knotty stone]

i did reset my pc yesterday, now the stupid windows snippet tool on print is not saving it -.-"

[bright fog]

Join us, move to Linux

[knotty stone]

        {
            offset = 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000,

        }```

[knotty stone]

hell no ^^

[bright fog]

And yet, it works so much better :3

[bright fog]

physicsShapeScript, ok interesting, so it does refer to the physicsShape block

[knotty stone]

btw anyone knows whats up with the Curtains on windows, when pressing shift+e its always intercting twice on the first try

super annoying ^^

[bright fog]

shift + E ? What does that do ?

[shy mantle]

I heard that was a bug with windows, double inputs

Not windows the OS lol

[bright fog]

Ok lmao bcs I was going to tell you to join Linux again

[knotty stone]

quick action for interacting with the curtains

on vehicles you automaticaly move to driver seat when entering it from any other seat

[bright fog]

I had no idea there were alternative interaction keybinds

[bright fog]

@knotty stone what's the zombieType parameter of the vehicle scripts? Does that define like a zombie which can spawn next to the vehicle ?

    vehicle VanSpiffo
    {
        zombieType = Waiter_Spiffo,

[knotty stone]

sounds reasonable, no clue 🙂

[bright fog]

👌

[knotty stone]

have let ai run to decompile
zombieType is a list of zombie outfit names for the vehicle. It is used to spawn appropriate zombies in specific vehicle scenarios and to determine which zombies are considered legitimate key holders for the vehicle so it rly sounds reasonable

[bright fog]

That's by making AI parse the Java right ?

[knotty stone]

yea, it was pretty accurate in its findings there 👍

[bright fog]

Sounds likely

@knotty stone have you ever used the frontEndHealth parameter ?

Because that parameter can't work, since the parser uses frontEndDurability

                } else if ("frontEndDurability".equals(k)) {
                    this.frontEndHealth = Integer.parseInt(v);

[knotty stone]

vanilla vehicles still use frontEndHealth

would explain why changing it never rly mattered

[bright fog]

Yeaa that parameter isn't parsed 💀

[knotty stone]

but i rly dont know what it rly does since every vehicle part has its own durability

[bright fog]

That idk

[knotty stone]

[bright fog]

I did not understand what it just said

[knotty stone]

yea its kinda strange

its kinda a buffer on how much damage your vehicle parts get

or lets say crash resistant the front/rear is

                    this.frontEndHealth = Integer.parseInt(v);
                    continue;
                }``` 🙄  isnt that what it said in the first picture about the legacy frontEndDurability still accepted.

[bright fog]

Like I said, the parameter frontEndDurability is parsed, but frontEndHealth which is what is used in the game scripts actually doesn't get parsed

So they were supposed to use frontEndDurability but instead they use frontEndHealth, which does nothing because that parameter isn't parsed and so it uses the default value 100.0

[knotty stone]

ah right

[bright fog]

Here's the doc I just wrote about that

  - name: rearEndDurability
    type: integer
    default: 100
    description: |-
      It is unclear what that parameter does but as of 42.16.3, the game uses `rearEndHealth` which is a mistake.
  - name: rearEndHealth
    deprecated:
      description: While that parameter is present in vanilla scripts as of 42.16.3, it actually does nothing because it is not parsed as `rearEndHealth` but as `rearEndDurability`.
      replacedBy: rearEndDurability

[shy mantle]

That would explain why some people are noticing their trunks taking more damage than expected lol

[knotty stone]

isnt that a multiplayer bug where it multiplies the damage by the people in proximity?

iam rly not good at it but when i look at the java it should work as intended?

            this.rearEndDurability = Math.min(this.rearEndDurability, this.script.getRearEndHealth());
            this.currentFrontEndDurability = this.frontEndDurability;```

```   private void addDamageFront(int dmg) {
        if (this.isDriverGodMode()) {
            return;
        }
        this.currentFrontEndDurability -= dmg;
        VehiclePart part = this.getPartById("EngineDoor");
        if (part != null && part.getInventoryItem() != null) {
            part.damage(Rand.Next((int)Math.max(1, dmg - 5), (int)(dmg + 5)));
        }
        if ((part == null || part.getInventoryItem() == null || part.getCondition() < 25) && (part = this.getPartById("Engine")) != null) {
            part.damage(Rand.Next((int)Math.max(1, dmg - 3), (int)(dmg + 3)));
        }
        if ((part = this.getPartById("Windshield")) != null && part.getInventoryItem() != null) {
            part.damage(Rand.Next((int)Math.max(1, dmg - 5), (int)(dmg + 5)));
        }
        if (Rand.Next((int)4) == 0) {
            part = this.getPartById("DoorFrontLeft");
            if (part != null && part.getInventoryItem() != null) {
                part.damage(Rand.Next((int)Math.max(1, dmg - 5), (int)(dmg + 5)));
            }
            if ((part = this.getPartById("WindowFrontLeft")) != null && part.getInventoryItem() != null) {
                part.damage(Rand.Next((int)Math.max(1, dmg - 5), (int)(dmg + 5)));
...```

[shy mantle]

Never heard of that, but there were a few posts on what I said, never looked into it

[knotty stone]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3700081981

[shy mantle]

This, albeit a little too vague, is basically true, just to confirm.

But corpses spawned inside the vehicle are still completely random, unfortunately.

[bright fog]

That's good to know, I didn't remember if the corpses spawning in vehicles was from mods lol

[shy mantle]

It's super super rare

Usually just in trunks or ambulances as well.

[bright fog]

Added a huge amount of docs to parameters of the vehicle script block and subblocks
https://sirdoggyjvla.github.io/pz-scripts-data/blocks/vehicle.html

[willow tulip]

engineForce is 10x what is displayed in the car mechanic menu for 'horsepower'

lol at frontEndDurability

isSmallVehicle never knew that was a thing.

mass might wanna add something like 'values in excess of 1400 can cause vehicle wheels to start sinking into the ground and be unable to move'

(the heavest vanilla cars are 1400 and they already have problems with wheels sinking into the ground when you turn at high speed)

[cinder storm]

lol

[willow tulip]

offRoadEfficiency affects horsepower reduction when offroad (Higher = less horsepower reduction when offroad)

[dawn shuttle]

I'm including ModData to synchronize data server wide. Any tips on how to troubleshoot solo?

[willow tulip]

playerDamageProtection Love how that variable suggests that higher values would be less damage but its actually the opposite (just checked code, your description is correct)

steeringClamp is the max angle you can turn the front wheels left/right

stoppingMovementForce is a drag factor applied to the vehicle at all times

[bright fog]

You know you can contribute to these docs right ?

[willow tulip]

Yea but then id need to make an account and shit.

[bright fog]

A GitHub account ?

[cinder storm]

i have github i can get on there and add in what he's doing

[willow tulip]

shrugs don't think I have one

wheelFriction is 1.2 to 1.9 for all vanilla vehicles and controls turning and stopping (but not acceleration) tire friction limits, with 1.4 being the most common. Values over 1.8 can cause vehicles to flip in sharp turns. (Likely depends somewhat on center of mass)

[bright fog]

Why don't you have a GitHub account ?

[willow tulip]

Iv never githubed anything?

do I look like a professional developer or something?

[bright fog]

Maybe that's the time to start then, it would make my life so much easier and that's a skill you can learn

I'm not a professional dev

[willow tulip]

shrugs

[bright fog]

I started using GitHub for personal projects

[willow tulip]

Oh, 'wheelfriction' for trailers is 4.0. I dunno why, kinda dumb.

(also why horsetrailer likes to flip)

[cinder storm]

i forked it, ill send a pull soon

[willow tulip]

Just thought id give some info. Too lazy to do more.

[bright fog]

Thx !

[cinder storm]

do i have to add the |- in front of the description

[bright fog]

That yaml syntax

Basically when you add that, you put the text on the line after and you can use newlines in the string

If you don't do that, newlines don't work

[cinder storm]

alright, so add |-, enter and then tab

[bright fog]

I suggest downloading red hat's extension for YAML on VSCode

[cinder storm]

ill look at it

[willow tulip]

Hu, TIL your more likely to get broken glass injuries on impact in a car if your vehicles windows are <15% condition (But not if they are missing entirely(?))

(see public void addRandomDamageFromCrash(IsoGameCharacter chr, float damage) in BaseVehicle.java for details)

[cinder storm]

sent the pull

[bright fog]

I'll check it out a bit later

[cinder storm]

on another note

ive been looking at some of my other mods, they still work perfectly item-wise but ive found that a custom foraging category i made doesnt display

i was thinking i might need a separate foragecategories.lua file

it runs the file, i checked it through console

[willow tulip]

You likely just need to add to whatever global table is in that file

[cinder storm]

thats what its supposed to do

[willow tulip]

Game runs all .lua files in \lua

[cinder storm]

its in \42\media\lua\shared\Foraging

i compared it with base game files, the only discrepancy i found is that it doesnt seem like you add both categories and definitions in the same lua script

so im thinking of separating them

[willow tulip]

PS iirc, there is still(?) a bug where foraging doesn't work for items that arnt in the base. module space.

so make sure to test that if your not using base.

[cinder storm]

im not using base here, and i cant use base or else MP stops working too

[willow tulip]

Im saying for the items in your mod itself.

And you can use base., your just not supposed to.

(but I always use base. because far too much stuff breaks if you don't)

since TIS never tests non base module stuff -_-

[cinder storm]

i had it using base on another mod of mine but its still currently bugged in MP

i can see why you used it because theres not as many problems with base

[willow tulip]

Hell, last I checked you can't even craft items in MP if the output (or was it the recipe itself?) wasn't in base.

[cinder storm]

recipes have to be base

thats what i found

[cinder storm]

so im guessing i literally cannot use any of my items because they're from a non base. module

distributions still work fine afaik

because lootzed still showed the items on some corpses

[willow tulip]

yea pretty sure distributions work with non base items. Maybe foraging has been fixed? Just saying make sure you test it and it works properly before going through all the effort of adding all your items

(add some item with super high frequency and see if you can find it properly spawning)

also add some base item with super high frequency so you can confirm if its base or your code

[cinder storm]

alright it still works fine

yurp

ill just wait until someone finds a workaround they can sneak in

works in mp too

we good

[bright fog]

@cinder storm sent a review, don't change all description string entries to multi line

[cinder storm]

got it

[bright fog]

While that isn't anything bad, it adds noise to the reviews

[cinder storm]

question about translations

they did remove all the underscore prefixes?

[bronze yoke]

only a couple of them

[cinder storm]

so if i remove IGUI_ would that screw me over

[bronze yoke]

yes that would not work

[cinder storm]

ah, could i know which ones

alr

[bronze yoke]

iirc just recipe names and item names

[cinder storm]

alr

thanks

[bronze yoke]

those never get added to the main translation lists in the first place, they're stored separately, so the prefixes were pointless

basically if it's something you would use getText() for, the prefix will definitely still be needed

[woven bane]

[bright fog]

Where did you put your model

nvm you just sent it

Make sure you properly exported the model
Try to load it back into Blender

Ah wait

The problem is WeaponSprite

You need to reference the model by its full type

So module.id

[woven bane]

this is my first time. so where should i add that

[bright fog]

WeaponSprite

You need to change the module.id ....

To your model

I suggest you go read that
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts#ID

[woven bane]

Thanks bro it's working

[woven bane]

now the weapon is working but still invisible do u think its a problme with scale ?

@bright fog

[bright fog]

Where's your texture located ?

[woven bane]

Zomboid\mods\Custom Sword Mod\media\textures\weapons\2handed

[bright fog]

What format is it

[woven bane]

PNG

[bright fog]

Did you fully reload the game after doing your edits ?

Place the item on the floor and play with the scale value, both dividing by 10 or multiplying by 10, multiple times

[woven bane]

u mean relog from the game ?

[bright fog]

Relaunch the game

[buoyant violet]

Yes

[random terrace]

righty, I see now

ty

[bright fog]

Wait really ?

[silent zealot]

What!

Unless they are taking it out to rework Random Stories to be lua-available

Like this request: #mod_portal message

[willow tulip]

I sure hope so. a Lua passthrough would be gold.

[silent zealot]

I thought about how it could be done as a lua mod and it's feasible to make a framework for "specific building changes" but a lot harder to do one for random building changes (or at least I could not see any way to do so neatly)

[willow tulip]

I mean you just do the specific building changes but then add calls to random to see if you do it or not.

But a LUA callthrough for stories would work so much better.

and only cost 0.00001% FPS

(im sure onCreate callthrough alone costs 50x more)

(ie, leave everything in java, but call the java functions through Lua like how onCreate is done now, so that Lua can easily intercept the calls if desired)

[vapid acorn]

Honestly it probably should.

[willow tulip]

Niceee. Does the bayonet take cond damage?

I realized recently that attachments are full on items stored in the gun. I always assumed it was just some metadata stored.

[silent zealot]

I assume you're using the same model for wapon and world item, so look at the world attachment point.

You might need to start a new test game after adjusting because I had issues working on a similar problem and it urned out teh save was somehow storing attachment info but only sometimes.

            rotate = -23.8537 -86.6222 -22.0887,
        }
        attachment world
        {
            offset = -0.0105 0.0002 0.0,
            rotate = 0.0 0.0 -1.0335,
        }
    }

note the two attachmentt defs in a vanilla sword

One is (I think) when the model is used as a prop, like crafting with things in your hands.

And the other for when it's placed in the world.

the world stuff here is almost "no change at all" but maybe you need something else for your model, or maybe you didn't have it perfect w/rotation and transforms on export.

Two ways to start fixing: add a world attachment and change the world parameters by 90 at random until it works

or try add world attachment and try the attachment editor.

Or just copypaste the vanilla sword and that might work.

[woven bane]

i'll try this thanks

this would be cool to have as a faction weapon

good for zeds, better at destroying bandits

that way you dont have to carry both a hatchet in your belt and your gun on your back

implementing it in zomboid though sounds like a pain

[little sinew]

since im a baby who hates injuries, i was wondering if there was a way for me to change settings in the files that would allow me to suture closed lacerations and bites. I have transmission turned off because i have yet to even make it a full week

[vast pier]

Oh wow it would be so cool for someone to make it into an attachment that you can swap between.
Too bad nobody has ever done that before

[willow tulip]

Nope.

[silent zealot]

I think you could make a mod to do it, but it would not be straightforward; you'd have to redo the medical GUI stuff to allow suturing, probably redo the timed action, then have something running on a timer event to manage healing since vanilla healing won't heal those faster because of suturing...

Better option for learning is transmission off (already done!) and disinfect/bandage. And turn down the starting zombie population.

I know when I was learning injuries from a fight I survived were never the real problem, it was dying during the fight as zombies tore me apart.

java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: getAmount of non-table: zombie.entity.components.fluids.FluidInstance@2298d705 at KahluaThread.tableget(KahluaThread.java:1441).

    local fluid = fluidSample:getFluidInstance(x)

Im sure that used to be exposed...

I guess fluidComp:getSpecificFluidAmount(fluid) works.. just annoying.

[silent zealot]

It's private now. At least for FluidContainer.. looks public for FluidSample

[willow tulip]

Yea I was taking it from the fluid sample, I believe that error of 'non-table' means that fluidInstance isn't exposed at all

today, on amazingly cursed looking code:

    for index,value in ipairs(fluidTable) do
        local it = string.gmatch(value,"[^|]+");
        fluidContainer:addFluid(it(),it());
    end

My cursed code of the day is logging a change ticket using sed instead of a dozen lines describing what to edit in a file.

sed -i -e 's/\(internalProxies.*\)44\158/' /usr/local/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml

I'm almost certain I'll get told there is a mistake and it's meant to be 58, not 158.

My fav was finding some comments about how good pizza was after a night of drunk coding.

object:getFluidContainer():removeFluid();
object:getFluidContainer():addFluid("Water",15);

Anyone have any ideas why this is not adding water to a waterDispencer object?

(the removeFluid seems to work fine..)

Without removeFluid I get a dispencer with RNG amount of water, with it I get 0 water

object:getFluidContainer():addFluid(FluidType.Tea,10); also results in 0 fluids...

... grrr obscure wtf thingy silently preventing addfluid from working: object:getFluidContainer():setInputLocked(...)

Dunno why that would just break the addFluid API instead of being a UI only thing -_-

I'm sure that's possible (definitely with Java modding), I'm just wondering why not use the heating mechanic, and set the "burned" version of your item to be replaced by the new item? I mean, I don't specifically understand how you would heat up a players inventory in the first place either? but maybe I'm just misunderstanding your message

[buoyant violet]

now you can use knifes as bayonets if they are registered with system

[little sinew]

yeah. Thats my only issue tbh. I just wanted something to help especially when i have currently have a bite on my neck

[willow tulip]

Yes there is ReplaceOnCooked IIRC

You can also do ReplaceOnRotten (used for the disabled sugar recipe thing)

Combining the two, you can have something like: "Must be cooked, and then it has to 'sit' for some amount of time to become the final thing"

[silent zealot]

Exactly how I remember brewing mods in Rimworld working for some drinks

[willow tulip]

(replaceOnX are part of the itemScripts that let you transform it into a new item, without any code required)

[silent zealot]

Make up some mash, keep it around to "rot" aka age into somethingthat then goes into barrels

[willow tulip]

Yep! using the two you can get a lot of fancy stuff done

(theres also ReplaceOnUse (most often used for food to return the container) and ReplaceOnDepleted and ReplaceOnExtinguish (Used for candles and stuff)

[manic forum]

i want to "hack" a new passive Crafting station with just using the oven mech.

The Dryingrack "Method" doesnt work cuz i need 2 diffrent items as input and it does only support 1:1 itemexcange. My thought was to hijack the "Burned" event to check if the 2nd material is in the same inventory then replace both with the output.

[cinder light]

ah I see, the one problem with this is you would have to create a custom tag as well, and limit your container to only accept that one tag, otherwise people could cook their food in your crafting table

[willow tulip]

You can't hijack burnt AFAIK, only cooked.

But you could try hijacking ReplaceOnCooked and then the replacement could have an onCreate script

(the onCreate could MAYBE check for the 2nd item and then revert it if the 2nd item doesn't exist.. Not 100% sure what you can do in the onCreate event of an object)

But onCreate at least can call Lua code for you.

Also note, leaving a burnt item in the oven causes risk of fire

[manic forum]

good points, i will try it later

[vapid acorn]

Do you just like duct tape it to attach it or like spear crafting just with a gun instead of a stick or pole/handle, and/or is it a set of proper bayonet with lugs and such?

I think a bayonet mod is super neat btw.

[buoyant violet]

nah you just mount it, I didnt wanna make it too complicated

[silent zealot]

42.17 is out.

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/94253-build-42170-unstable-released/

[buoyant violet]

since a bayonet has the little thing for attaching

but its part of the framework. I could leave an option to make a material a requirement

[vapid acorn]

Yeah usually it's just a knife with a small hole in the handle that fits and locks into the bayonet lugs on the gun but didn't know how detailed you were getting.

But you could MacGyver one with just any knife and some tape, although it might not work anywhere near as well.

[buoyant violet]

in my mod is just some knife you find and can put on weapons. on the framework I will leave a system to make a material requirement

[vapid acorn]

Awesome. Can wait to try it out. Affix bayonets and charge.

[buoyant violet]

still a bit before its out 😅

its a whole ass framework and my weapons mod to showcase it

[vapid acorn]

No problem, take your time. No need to rush.

[halcyon river]

wahhh the physics changes

everythings broken

[knotty stone]

getCell():getVehicles() <- boom gone Edit: ok still working but output changed xD

[halcyon river]

one step closer to stable build 42 though

[mellow frigate]

So what is the way to use Java iterable from lua ? ```java
Set<BaseVehicle> vehicles = IsoWorld.instance.currentCell.getVehicles();
for (BaseVehicle vehicle : vehicles) {
...
}

[strong quest]

Hi! With the recent update, one of my mods broke, and the culprit is this method: getVehicles(). Has anyone been able to find its name?

[mellow frigate]

the only use I see of getVehicles in Vanilla B42.17 lua is as broken as my mods (ISVehicleBloodUI:prerender)

[shy mantle]

@knotty stone They removed the patch note that said something like, fixed not being able to place light switches

Now it's just, "Fixed being able to pick up light switches"

[knotty stone]

well funny part is that this was something already done in 42.16.3

[shy mantle]

Oh, well then it makes sense

[bronze yoke]

i honestly don't know if you will be able to iterate over a set... can you try ArrayList.new(vehicles) and iterate over that?

[tidal locust]

hi sunshi

[halcyon river]

what even is the point of changing the output type lol, does anyone see how they changed their usage of the func

[bronze yoke]

i'd argue this should've been a set in the first place

the order is meaningless and there shouldn't be duplicate entries

[halcyon river]

yeah but why change it

[bronze yoke]

it wasn't an approriate usage of a list

[shy mantle]

Never used getVehicles (plural index version), but it's good to know now I guess lol

[halcyon river]

i suppose, though for this usage is there any performance difference between a list and a set

[strong quest]

Thank you so much for sharing the change to getVehicles() 😄

[quartz brook]

Sorry for asking this, I couldn't find anything in pins. Is there a plugin for blender to work with .x model format for import/export? The method im using gets rid of correct worldscale size

[bronze yoke]

no

you can use ZomboidAssetConverter to convert vanilla models to gltf for import, and there's no reason to export to x in the first place (use glb or fbx instead)

[quartz brook]

cries in linux guess ill have to build it

[mellow frigate]

there is a full package uploaded somewhere

[quartz brook]

google has become useless for niche findings

[mellow frigate]

look for aoqia pinned message in animation channel of PZ Modding community Discord. (I just got temp banned for linking it..)

[quartz brook]

thanks, im trying to get the weapons .x files but already have them converted to fbx. I found a plugin in that discord for blender that does GLTF, ill see if that works. (It works thx)

[willow tulip]

lol.

[exotic junco]

getisnpc

whoops, thanks discord, that definitely is the textbox i wanted to type in

[manic swift]

Hey guys got a question here

If I want to allow any and all vegetables in a crafting recipe thats NOT an evolved recipe

Do I do Base:Vegetables ?

[exotic junco]

are the JavaDocs that the pz wiki links to up to date for current unstable versions? trying to hunt down a method returning null but dunno if i gotta decompile the java myself first

[bronze yoke]

yes

[bright fog]

It's written at the top right what version it's for

[near vessel]

I don't think base:vegetables is a valid item tag for craftRecipe

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Item_tag

[manic swift]

So how do I format this because there is thing in the files that say Foodtype = Vegetable

Do I just put Item 3 as Foodtype=Vegetable and it uses anything with that?

[bronze yoke]

i don't think you can do this

[manic swift]

I really dont want to have to listen to every Base: for every vegetable

sigh

[near vessel]

As of right now I think that's the only comprehensive solution

A vegetables tag would be nice for items though

[manic swift]

So whats the point of the line

Foodtype=Vegetables

[near vessel]

I'd have to check to be certain but it's probably for evolved recipes or nutrition

[manic swift]

Cucumber for example

[near vessel]

Yeah I'd have to guess it's for evolved or nutrition

[bronze yoke]

it's just used for categorising ingredients for the ui

[near vessel]

The only relevant line to use as a tag in a craftRecipe is ItemType though

[near vessel]

Oh that makes sense lol I'm slow

[manic swift]

So utterly useless

[exotic junco]

to confirm - what url are you getting this from? i am looking at https://projectzomboid.com/modding/index.html, which does not have that, i apologize if i'm missing something obvious

[manic swift]

Alright typing every veggie in then manually

[near vessel]

[manic swift]

https://tenor.com/view/coraline-dad-type-gif-13169103074993680968

[exotic junco]

ah thanks mate, i really was looking at the wrong set of docs then, did not know there was a user maintained branch

[near vessel]

no problem

[bright fog]

😅
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/JavaDocs

The official docs are not updated

[exotic junco]

appreciate all the help haha

[frank lintel]

when have they? thought the JD's always been unofficial

[bright fog]

Build 41.77

[frank lintel]

btw Sim, where are keybinding hiding at if you just happen to know offhand in java...

[bright fog]

You mean the keybinds that you can setup in the option menu ?

[frank lintel]

yep

[bright fog]

Idk sry

The UI is Lua, for sure

But the keybinds idk what system they use

[frank lintel]

its likely java since its IG, apparently aiming is doing a null check on the first key so when its unbound oh you lose all aim abliity....

basically the null check is killing RMB from working

[bright fog]

Null check of what ? Not sure I understood

[frank lintel]

if you unbind 'aim' from in this case default is left Ctrl.... and set it to 'none' your RMB ability to aim dies with it

[manic swift]

Oh hey I looked into it

Foodtype = vegetable

Is for foraging categories

[bright fog]

I suggest you make a bug report then

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/forum/85-bug-reports/

[frank lintel]

oh I plan on it but few people alreadyt reported similiar problems. I was just hoping to find the code to see if my theory was correct and its cuz its not passing beyond the none being considered == null

basically if Aim=key:74;altCode:10001 and if Aim=key:0;.... it just stops there and goes okay we not doing anything more :)

looks like they know about it too and seems to agree on the cause and also temp solution I suggested (random key on your numpad area out of the way...)

[near vessel]

https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/characters/CharacterInputKeyBinding.html

Then
https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/characters/component/CharacterInputComponent.html
and
https://demiurgequantified.github.io/ProjectZomboidJavaDocs/zombie/characters/CharacterInputComponentEntity.html

look like they check if the aim key is pressed (among other things)
