no, it isn't related to the inventory item class, that works only for items, not tiles
you should check the .tiles with tilezed

there is an option in "Tools" I think

Hey modders, has anyone here worked with some lua functions about web/http/udp?
vocal wigeon
REST calls?
vocal wigeon
Do you mean in zomboid itself?
nimble spoke
java mods?
rocky yarrow
Hum
I meant by that, doing POST and GET requests (http) or even sending packets (through udp/tcp)
with a lua function (so a mod)
rocky yarrow
Can we put colors in item's DisplayName?

nimble spoke
I heven't seen that
rocky yarrow
Oh maybe there isn't any way

Has anyone dissected the Challenge maps to find a way to make their own challenges? Random I know but I don't mod just map, just curious.
vocal wigeon
There is sendClientCommand and sendServerCommand to send stuff, both have an event that triggers when they are used. It has a string as a command and a KahluaTable args which can be your json equivalent / payload thing
So you can hopefully achieve the same results with that. The only problem is that you cannot properly send stuff to the player when he just arrives on the server
livid zinc
Ahh, so pretty much if you did mod it, it would be broken anyways? excuse my modding/coding ignorance
vocal wigeon
No I mean you'll just have to deal with the fact that you cannot send stuff during OnGameStart for some reason
Anything else goes as far as I can tell
There's a doChallenge function in LuaManager.
but dunno when it's used
pine vigil
doChallenge is used by the main menu to set up the game for the challenge mode.
livid zinc
So does that mean it would be possible to modify and exchange conditions for your own custom ones? for Custom challenges?
pine vigil
If you go to lua/client/LastStand you will find the challenges themselves that you can take a peek at to figure out how they work/if you want to make some tweaks.
Not entirely certain how new ones get added to the menu. Might be automatic, idk. Would need to look into it to figure it out.
livid zinc
Thank you, just curious as to the limitations more than anything. I doubt it will do me much good but who knows maybe I'll get motivated if it's possible to do some different challenges.
rocky yarrow
@pine vigil Do you know if you can change an item's displayname's color? Through LUA or thanks to an html code or something?
pine vigil
@rocky yarrow Not possible AFAIK.
rocky yarrow
Oh, well, thanks!
vocal wigeon
@pine vigil What is the reason that OnZombieUpdate is disabled on the server side? I made a mod that uses that event, because the event not called serversided it does not work on MP.
pine vigil
@vocal wigeon I don't know the design decision behind it, it's just set up to only trigger for client. I assume because the zombie update function is something that's only really done clientside anyway.
Nevermind server does use it, so really no idea.
vocal wigeon
That's a shame
Maybe it could later be activated for the server as well?
As long as it's tested and all
placid delta
ah OnZombieUpdate is how I emulated kickback to explosives here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7m3zRvhso

hallow dome
Do i need to include the ENTIRE vanilla lua file in my mod for basicFarming if im modifying a seed?
nimble spoke
@hallow dome modding farming can be a lot of trouble just for a small change. Check my farming time mod on steam
it changes the main farming files so separate mods can coexist
hallow dome
I saw yours, but does that mean I require your mod as a dependency?
also, how would I hook in using your mod? do you have an example I could look at?
oh @nimble spoke whoops
hallow dome
Okay I see how this is organised. Going to take a while but this is awesome, thank you so much.
nimble spoke
no problem, if you have any questions let me know
hallow dome
So where do I put the things in basicFarming? <elseif(planting.typeOfSeed == "OnexSMed") then
planting = farming_vegetableconf.growOnexSMed(planting, nextGrowing, updateNbOfGrow)
end>
nimble spoke
@hallow dome you use my version of basicFarming, then add your own file based on my "SFFarmNewVeggies". Each crop type added there has a new value called growCode which is the name of the function it is going to use
in that same file you can see I add the functions listed for each crop
hallow dome
do i need ISUI?
nimble spoke
yes, you do, check the one I use there, it is also made so that you don't need to change the original file
basically use my version of the original files, and make new files copying the ones I created
this way your mod will be compatible with mine without the need to have both
your file in the ISUI folder will check for your seed types only
hallow dome
Okay, i thought it would be way harder to convert, but im about to test it now (with most original icons!)
elseif planting.typeOfSeed then
if farming_vegetableconf.props[planting.typeOfSeed].growCode ~= nil then
local growCode = farming_vegetableconf.props[planting.typeOfSeed].growCode
planting = assert(loadstring('return '..growCode..'(...)'))(planting, nextGrowing, updateNbOfGrow)
nimble spoke
there was a bug where my own icons would not show in the info panel when you check a plant in game, I don't know if it still happens
hallow dome
this looks like its automating for unknown seed labels, is that right?
nimble spoke
yes, that line makes it possible to use a custom function defined by the plant type without the need to add it in there directly
hallow dome
genius. so I dont even modify basic farming?
nimble spoke
no, just use my version in your mod
hallow dome
sweet. did you by any chance include custom icons for the growing veg?
im tied my icons in for items, now i just need the tile models
nimble spoke
do you mean the tiles? I wanted to, but right now they use existing tiles
the problem is that there is no way to set up proper tiles for both standard size tiles and 2x size, so I decided to use existing tiles
hallow dome
oh man...
hallow dome
so theres no way to use my custom plants at all?
nimble spoke
you can use your own tiles, but you have to decide if you set up the correct size for standard or 2x, you can't do both
hallow dome
ahh
Okay, I built it as 2x, so then I repack them and it should work?
I still need to look into labelling, im sure this is going to be a whole new nightmare
nimble spoke
yeah, if you added your tiles correctly then it should work
hallow dome
First step is tilezed, load them up to get metadata written, then the .png's should be okay to run through the converter
from what i could see on the ONE tutorial i found, it looks this easy
hallow dome
I couldn't find a useable pot mod, and my character keeps getting sad during the winter
I figured I'd try and make one that doesnt dump drugs in every zombie you kill and every box you check
but once i get all this sorted, I want to work on making an oven variant for indoor growing
nimble spoke
interesting, I have plans for some spices and plants that may have other uses too. There is a function in my mod that will be useful for you, it allows you to keep the plant when you harvest, and define which growth stage is used
I think there is an example in it somewhere
hallow dome
that reminds me, in the original growth code it has two chunks for the mature and mature with seeds stage
i added a seed switch into both stages, should that matter?
basically when you can harvest it has seeds in this case, I wanted to buy more time between spoiling and usability
nimble spoke
I think it will work fine, you have a lot of freedom if you understand the grow function
it is possible to make the plant survive even if you dont harvest it
I dont remember exactly how though
hallow dome
wouldnt you just loop it back to an earlier stage?
nimble spoke
yeah, I think the other value I added serves that purpose
hhmmm no, I think I didn't leave an example in those files
ohhh here retainOnHarvest is what you need to add to your plant values
then set the grow stage you want
I dont remember what happens if you dont harvest it though
hallow dome
how do i make my XML for the master sheet of tiles?
the one spit out by the zomboid base tiles looks like a pain to go through
nimble spoke
won't the converter generate one?
hallow dome
ahh tilezed needs me to place it first
pine vigil
@nimble spoke Why How is adding custom tiles broken?
nimble spoke
@pine vigil So far there are no known methods to make our tiles select 1x or 2x texture size
at least the last time I read about it other modders were complaining about it too
pine vigil
So you can add custom tiles, you just have no way to determine which tile you should be using?
nimble spoke
yeah, we can add only one file name, so it will be either 1x or 2x
pine vigil
If there was (or perhaps I created) a method/function that told you whether game was running with 1x/2x tiles would that solve the problem?
nimble spoke
most of the lua code wont make use of that. For our example here, farming, plants have a table for each growth stage, allowing me to detect 1x/2x won't help
pine vigil
So you need to supply two files and the game needs to be able to determine which tile to be using from the mod automatically, since you can't have two different tile names?
nimble spoke
We need a way to have 2 files with the same name, in a way the game knows one is for 1x and the other for 2x
yeah
pine vigil
You think you could give me an example mod that tries to replace a tile in farming? I don't know my way around that system yet, but I could have a poke around when I have the time. See how difficult it would be to fix. [Quiet SpiffoBot]
nimble spoke
well, Farmoid and Hydrocraft use custom tiles in farming as far as I know
my mod doesn't
pine vigil
Alright, I'll take a look.
nimble spoke
Thank you
pine vigil
Can't promise anything, but I'll look. π
nimble spoke
I know how these things work
I think most popular mods are simply using 2x textures now
hallow dome
where the heck is the create pack file option?
nimble spoke
There was a tutorial about that, but I don't have a link
hallow dome
i found it
but it points me to the tools bar, neither the command listed nor the implied button exist
im also looking the wiki but cant find the bit about extracting my xml data
nimble spoke
Are you using the right version of TileZed?
nimble spoke
Wiki is outdated
hallow dome
the easy pickins tut on indiestone is from 2014

hallow dome

hallow dome
Awesome. It looks like everything works from the item side. @nimble spoke I'm getting a stack error in regards to the item seed menu, attempted index: haveSeed of non-table: null
im not seeing a nomenclature issue, which is what 90% of my other issues were
pine vigil
@vocal wigeon I have made OnZombieUpdate trigger serverside now. Awaiting any particular objections to the change, but if there's none it should go out in the next update.
nimble spoke
@hallow dome Check the haveSeed function, be sure the tables you create are the ones you're adding seeds to
Error messages alsways give you the line in the code, so it should be easy to find the problem
vocal wigeon
I've never been this excited over the possible removal of an if statement, thank you.
hallow dome
@nimble spoke Yeah everything should be good, I cant find what I'm doing wrong here. Its saying im indexing props in non table null. I keep thinking I fixed it, but now im at a dead end. ill update the post on indiestone with my code
pine vigil
Tell me when you updated the post and I'll take a peek.
pine vigil
@hallow dome Where is OPotfarming_vegetableconf.props even defined?
Shouldn't you just be using farming_vegetableconf.props
That's the only thing I see defined in your files.
hallow dome
in the vegconf lua
OPotfarming_vegetableconf.props = {};
OPotfarming_vegetableconf.props["Medical Indica"] = {};
OPotfarming_vegetableconf.props["Medical Indica"].seedsRequired = 6;
etc etc
pine vigil
Everywhere I look "farming_vegetableconf.props" not "OPotfarming_vegetableconf.props"
The only time I see it.
Is for sprites.
hallow dome
ugh
pine vigil
farming_vegetableconf.props = {};
farming_vegetableconf.props["Medical Indica"] = {};
farming_vegetableconf.props["Medical Indica"].seedsRequired = 6;
pine vigil
Well if this is how its set up.
That's why you're getting null table.
So either rename all this, or change that line to say
local OnexIMOption = subMenu:addOption("Indica Mids", worldobjects, ISFarmingMenu.onSeed, customseedsList.OnexIMSeed, farming_vegetableconf.props["OnexIM"].seedsRequired, "OnexIM", currentPlant, sq, player);
The interpreter does not lie!
hallow dome
so in this piece here
local OnexIMOption = subMenu:addOption("Indica Mids", worldobjects, ISFarmingMenu.onSeed, customseedsList.OnexIMSeed,
I assume I also need ISFarmingMenu
to be OPotISFarmingMenu.onSeed
pine vigil
I don't see why you would?
I assume it's piggy backing of the core games version of it.
You don't have an onSeed function defined in that file in any case.
nimble spoke
@hallow dome go back and check how I added my plant types to the original seed menu, it looks like you made some unneeded changes there

If I use a zombRand in multiplayer in the server folder, is the returning value going to be the same for everyone? Or will everyone get a different value?
pine vigil
It depends how you're using it.
If it gets run client side then each client will generate a random number. If it's being run serverside then it will generate a random number, but if the clients need to know what that number is, I suppose you will have to transmit it to them.
I don't know if that really answers your question or not. @vocal wigeon

Shame on me for asking and assuming someone would do it, but itd be pretty nice to have the smoker trait be a little more dynamic. Things like stress and depression increasing much faster when you dont smoke to a rediculous amount up until the 14 day mark (since last smoke) and then decreasing slowly over a long period of time until the trait is eventually removed. This could also be changed to where people who smoke that arent smokers gain the trait.

98 years and not a single zombie killed?
What is this?! True pacifist mode or something.
jade falcon
I think that's an achievable goal, and its logical. Obviously, if you don't get close enough to try and kill the zombie with a melee weapon, it can't grab and bite you either. By avoiding zombies, you avoid getting bitten, and thus survive longer.
pine vigil
@vocal wigeon So what's actually wrong with the event?
vocal wigeon
Well the event itself works. The things I'm using it for do not work. In one mod I'm calling zombie.Move(x,y) to replace the way zombies lunge at survivors. The other one I'm using zombie:say() which also does not show up.
So I guess the extra zombie actions I'm doing just don't get send from client to server. Which is understandable for :Say(), but I expected changing a position through Move() at least to work.
pine vigil
I could add an event to Move
"OnZombieMove"
I can understand why you would think OnZombieUpdate should trigger for it.
Move for zombies is only triggered by LungeState and WalkTowardsState, not update.
Which is a kettle of fish in itself.
vocal wigeon
Well I'm calling it only in the lunge state as well. One time to negate the movement of the call and another time to do desired movement
It works in sp
pine vigil
In which case, why not use "OnAIStateExecute"?
You'll have to whittle the state down obviously.
Or would that even work actually...
vocal wigeon
OnAIStateExecute is one specific state as far as I know
not all of them
LuaState is cool though
pine vigil
But then what's even the point of LuaState?
vocal wigeon
You can put a gamecharacter in it and control a character with your own logic
I did it once with zombies
pine vigil
Seems kind of crazy there is LuaEvents for it, but not the base state class.
At least to me.
vocal wigeon
I dunno, there's only a really old forum post I can find on it that it was being worked on
Lua driven entities or something. So I guess it's half-finished or something
Also the statemachine itself isn't exposed to lua
pine vigil
Hmm.
Well like I say, I could maybe add the event, don't know if that perhaps has some performance implications. Would need to check.
Not to the states, but to the ZombieMove.
vocal wigeon
Do you think that would work?
LungeState has a GamerServer.sendZombie at the end that seems to be an empty method, at least in my decompiler. No idea if that means anything
pine vigil
Possible it's a hold over, to early multiplayer work.

You might be able to do a general check on whether snow is about, but not necesarily whether snow is on a tile. I'm not certain, not versed in the Erosion/Weather stuff that's more TurboTuTones territory.

I think it's a good engine personally, very easy to use it to make a bad game but when in the right hands can make some tremendous stuff. The tools you get with it are pretty phenomenal, though I do think that it can be detrimental when you're trying to keep things small and tightly made.
I have gotten into writing my own stuff for personal projects, or even poking around Godot to see what that's like.

I've currently not been in a position to investigate, I'll take a look on Monday, if you don't hear anything from me then give me a poke on here. I'm not too up with it on the FMOD/Audio stuff, but I'll try and see what I can find. @scenic sigil
Only thing I can think of is, to make sure the sound is actually being used, you could try replacing everything single sound with the same thing to see if PZ uses it. If it doesn't, then I would assume it's an issue of loading modded sound banks.
short shell
@vocal wigeon I do know the tris are 1,400 ish. It was my first design so I may have to tone it down alot
vocal wigeon
regardless it looks good
scenic sigil
I tested it with another sound, but problem is still here. When I replace vanilla sounds, then nothing plays. Maybe the problem is that I'm doing something wrong in the FMOD.
scenic sigil
Monday
@pine vigil
pine vigil
When you replaced other sounds, were the vanilla sounds playing or was nothing playing?
scenic sigil
Was nothing playing
pine vigil
In which case it's an Fmod thing and I know next to zilch about it. I'm under the impression, there's some funky metadata for Fmod files so I imagine replacing sounds is not a simple process.
But I don't touch the Fmod side of things.

any news regarding the LuaNet problem where packages aren't transmitted right after the player joins?
short shell
I'm still stuck on this floating weapon issue, could someone help me please? I've followed WolfeClaw's video to the T and it is still an issue. Did the update break the ability to use custom 3d models?
placid delta
Show that pic of the issue again
short shell
this is my issue
i have temporarily used another modder's .txt file and it has the weapon in the proper position, so I have found the issue to be exporting from blender to a .txt file. I am using Jab's 3d model import /export script
placid delta
Which part of the gun is on z axis pointing down on blender?
short shell
here is a pic of my script in blender right now
Z axis down is where the pistol grip is
placid delta
So what happens when you just drag it to the right about the length of the guns but? Then resave
short shell
I tried doing so, but it still shows up the same. I will try that now again, and see if the issue was on my end...
so I moved it...
and it still shows in same position
ignore texture, I can figure that issue out... after this
the scale is slightly smaller, then the last picture
placid delta
hard to tell if it moved or not that way...
just ,move it like 80% to the right, which is way to much but at least you'll know if your changes are having any effect or not
short shell
sure, do so now
placid delta
interesting why your rifle is muzzle facing y axis. my rocket launcher is pointing down on the z axis:
short shell
I've just did that this run, I'll see if it changes
twilit pebble
Can you explain how having the model vertical makes it work ingame when it's horizontal ingame? @placid delta
When I experimented it didn't work like that
short shell
odd still no change, not even 1 pixel or inch..
placid delta
it just matters what way(angle) the pz game loads and uses it at
i veighly recall, having trouble exporting sometimes if i made too many changes since loading said model
close blender, inport the model. move it once. save it. then try
short shell
i'll see about using an entierly different model in blender and trying again
this is using a different model, now it shows it floating, but not the very same as mine..
damn still no difference, even with moving it.... I am using blender v2.79 is that what you are using?
wait a minute........... I think I know the issue
I'll copy my m4.txt and see if you can spot the issue
ResizeWorldIcon = 2,
couldn't do paste all of it... but this is probaly why...
placid delta
are you sure your actually moving the model and not just the camera or something?
tap G first then the Y (for the Y axis) then move it and click to set
short shell
ok, trying that
hmm.. alright.. I'm getting some food and a break... I will recreate the mod from scratch and see if the issue is the same....

@drifting ore Hey EG, if I could ask for a verrrry tiny favor for my server. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=972598201
We're currently using this for our server, to run special supply drop events. A few of my community members are working on an admin tool for radio broadcasts.
Problem is this mod suffers from the same problem as ORGM. The debug key is on the numberpad, and it spawns a lot of very overpowered stuff. Would it be too much trouble to make another debug key override for it?

so It must have been how I designed the rifle. It is now much better. in Blender I was using a plane to trace the outline of the rifle, then add a face to the mesh, then adding a solidfy module to thinken it. The new design is a more widely used one, easily found on any blender tutorial.. Now that it seems to be fixed, I can now work at getting it to work

cerulean yew
hi guys... i don't know if you can help me
i have a problem with a mod "Driving Cars Mod"
when i am into a vehicle, zombies can hurt me and kill me...
i'm not protected
is there a bug?
or i wrong anything?
placid delta
just once randomly? or all the time?
cerulean yew
all the time...
they can kill me...
it's really strange
because a vehicle has a protection...
right?
i tried to stay into the vehicle with the engine turned on
but zombies can to kill me....
and don't damage the vehicle
i tried also with more vehicles.... but it's the same thing
and it's a shame..... i really love that mod....
so much+
placid delta
it should yes. see this recent video of someone using the car:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y32QO8m2Do&t=43s
near the end the car protects him from multiple gun shots. and the vehicle takes damage instead
though the damage protection system is very fragile. (it actually just detects and restores injuries, not protects) you should not rely on it. keep your car moving and there is no chance at getting bitten or scratched really.
cerulean yew
mmhh ok
i'd like to know where is the problem...
too hard for me.... i can change something from the file, but i don't know how to resolve thigs bug
i believe that is a problem of static/dynamic object....
the zombies can walk through the car for to hit the character..
short shell
weird, could it another mod be interfering with it?
cerulean yew
mmh
i have some mod
but i don't know which is the mod that can to conflict with the vehicles
if there is a conflict....
short shell
i would disable all, except the cars, then try it. If you continue to have issues then you know that it is the mod itself. At this point we can easily isolate the issue. I can see that there are 3 mods for the cars, 2 by nolan and 1 by ddraigcymraeg.. I would verify that you are using the right one.. It could be an inssue with the mod itself and the new updates pz are pushing.
cerulean yew
it's right...
but probably it's a limitation of the script...
i'm not sure of this...
i can suppose that it's not simple to create a similar mod, it's really hard.

hello all. Is there a modder that knows how to stop bleeding in lua? I have reviewed the java docs and nothing is stopping the bleeding.
I tried
player:getBodyDamage():SetBleeding(BodyPartType.ToIndex(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L), false);
player:getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):SetBleeding(BodyPartType.ToIndex(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L), false);
as well as setStitch and setBleedingStememd
also tried player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):SetBleeding(BodyPartType.ToIndex(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L), false);
thinking there needs to be some sort of update or refresh??
thanks for any help!
BTW, I am making a mod to make bone sutures
nimble spoke
some of their code call for an item id without the module before it, if that's the case you can make your own suture needle work just by giving it the same id name. For example I made my own Module.InsecticideSpray (I dont remeber if that's the exact name but it's jsut an example) that works exactly like Base.InsecticideSpray
because the code checks for InsecticideSpray not the module+id name
It is not always the case but is worth checking
umbral spire

FYI
player:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.ForeArm_L):setBleeding(false);

twilit pebble
@cerulean yew Just ask and if anyone has an answer they'll tell you
We're all cool here
cerulean yew
oook
it's a strange thing...
i created a mod with a custom class/occupation, that overpower the strenght and combat skills
i always used this class/occupation for to play... yestarday i started the game with a character with no skills/traits etc. etc.
and gaining skills, it seems that the damage on the zombies, was better of the character with full strenght and skills
my question is: Is is possible that with a mod there can be a bug on damage value if overpower skills and strenght?
sorry for my bad english, i am italian
twilit pebble
No worried
I've never tried to do anything with modifying traits so I can't help you, but I'm sure when people read if they can they'll help
cerulean yew
ah ok...
it's really strange, because when i use the character with custom class/occupation, i can see that there are max values on strenght and combat skills
and it should be ok.....
nimble spoke
Have you tested it with the same weapon?
I never modded ocupations so I don't know if they could be the source of such a bug
But maybe using certain skill values can bug the system, try lower skills and see what happens
cerulean yew
mmh
i tried only with baseball bat
probably overpowering values, there is a bug?
i had over 200 in strenght
but there is the limit on 10
the cap is 10
probably is this the reason?
nimble spoke
There's a good chance it would cause problems
if there's a cap you should respect it, because game code may not take other values into consideration, which could mean it is counting as zero
cerulean yew
mmh
probably you are right
my sensation was that increasing skills manually, i can do more damages....
i'm not completely sure of this
but probably over the cap, there should be a bug that decrease the power...

vocal wigeon
Maybe you should check out the bush/hedge tiles that slow you down?

I'll try, but I do not see the bush property only the tree property
if I select a property of a tree, everything around it will be obscured (
but this is not accurate, it will be necessary to check

@nimble spoke >It would be interesting to have the slow property separate so we could use it

astral junco
If the player becomes very wet, does it automatically slow down? maybe I'll just create this area and when i going through this area, the player will become wet
patent girder
he was talking about the bushes slowing people down and then was asking if he could get slow seperate so he can use it on water tiles
pine vigil
Ahhh right
nimble spoke
@pine vigil Trees slow you down when you cross them, that property could be used by other tiles whitout the need to make them trees
astral junco
Yeah it would be cool
pine vigil
My understanding it's a check in code, rather than the map.
If the current tile you're on is occupied by a tree, it alters global movement speed for an object.
Theoretically, I guess you could attach a mod to a map but that's perhaps cumbersome.
nimble spoke
The idea would be to have it as a separate flag in the tile's properties
astral junco
In this case, in addition to the checkbox, also need to add a combox to enter the deceleration rate in %
pine vigil
I don't know much about the mapping side, but it also looks like there's a SpeedFactor for the grid, so maybe there is something that could be done?
According to the code.
So it's looking for something.

hello fellow modders. I have a strange problem. I created a mod that lets me set a found key to any door. It "works" because after the perform, the door has a lock option on right click. But this is the strange part. I perform the lock on the door, I hear the click. When I right click again, the lock/unlock is gone! I drop my key, run out the window, and I can just walk in! So, my question is, are world doors defaulted to open/locked? And only created doors can be locked/unlock with a key??
Thanks for any help!
umbral spire
ha! it works for created doors!! guess that answered my own question!
astral junco
@umbral spire Is it possible to create a unique key that is not suitable for other options, only for 1 door?

how to export 3d models of weapons? from a blender to PZ?
I was told that you need to download the script, but I did not understand where and how to do it. maybe there is a special video
ok,I found π
nimble spoke
That's something I'd like to know too, could you share the link?
livid zinc
Does anyone know how PZ detects 1x vs 2x tilesets on start?
Is there a way to add custom tilesets packs to be loaded on demand after detecting 1x or 2x instead of forcing the user to use what the mapper favors?
The only other idea I have is to modify the vanilla texture packs to include my custom textures. But I don't think a mod would change this so I would have to have manual instructions for players which would suck?
Unless someone knows how detection works for 1x/2x at start ^^^^ which might be easier....... is that possible with a LUA mod?
nimble spoke
Currently there isn't a way, but Connall said he was going to take a look (no promises)
livid zinc
Well they do it for the vanilla files, so there must be some way.......
I could open up the pack files modify them with my custom textures added, then I don't think the workshop mod would modify these files specifically, so I would have to give manual instructions to download and replace, thus it would work
But I was hoping there was an easier way.
I'm pretty sure in the bat file, there is a line that tells it to load these texture packs on start based on which tileset is selected via the options menu 1x or 2x. So as long as the texture packs names remain the same, and I'm only adding textures - to both 1x and 2x in their respective resolutions - I don't see it knowing the difference.
but what a pain in the ass? eh? and I don't think people would want to do that.
pine vigil
I feel like this isn't an impossible change to allow 2x tiles, I just been a bit swamped to actually deal with it.
livid zinc
EG was taking a look at the code, still undetermined if it's hardcoded or not
pine vigil
It does a check on startup to see the option, then just loads a different pack. That's it as far as I'm aware, mods don't make that distinction when they load tiles.
livid zinc
So im guessing there might be some LUA wizardtry that could be added to do that?
pine vigil
No, because it would probably need to come from the Java side to handle the intial loading and reloading (for activating and deactivating mods) that wouldn't be accomplished lua side. I imagine it would be possible to just use 2x sprites but that would probably cause incompatibility issues for anyone running 1x.
You could probably detect the tile size change, but I don't know if you could actually trigger a reload, or even specifiy the different set of files.
Since, at the end of the day all the tiles are the same, it's just loading a different pack.
livid zinc
ahhhhhhhhhhh so not happening on the modding side then
pine vigil
No, I wouldn't think so. I think, I might look at this tomorrow (technically today) been smacking my head against the wall with current tasks, so will look at this.
livid zinc
No rush man, glad to see someone finally taking a look at it!

@nimble spoke & @livid zinc Awaiting a review of my code, but hopefully if all is good you should see be able to support 1x and 2x texture packs in mods in the next build.
nimble spoke
Thanks a lot man!
livid zinc
Omg that's amazing!
nimble spoke
Now I have to work on tiles for my farming mod
twilit pebble
Farming mod you say?
I'd enjoy another farming mod
Honestly I'm hoping to see massive scale farming using farm vehicles eventually
nimble spoke
It's a small addition with the main objective of providing a system that makes farming mods compatible with each other
I'm hoping Kurogo will use it for farmoid
And now Connall just gave the good news that we will be able to create proper tiles, so I can work on that too
pine vigil
I would like to point out, I wasn't able to thoroughly test the change, so will say it's a bit experimental. Nothing crazy, and I'll have more details to share when the build comes out. There will be a thread detailing the change.
As an aside, this change will not affect any past mods, the change was made specifically to make sure it didn't break compatibility.
nimble spoke
Fair enough
pine vigil
I just don't want anyone bitterly dissapointed if it doesn't work is all, so might be worth testing it out to see if the change work when it comes out. π
livid zinc
Np I think we just all appreciate the fact someone took a stab at it. It's one of those things that just kind of makes you scratch your head and wonder why it was never done. So thank you so much!

How to add a context menu to custom tiles?
quaint nightBOT
nimble spoke
@astral junco You can detect your tile's file name, and then add the menu
livid zinc
Where are files that determine tile properties so I can mod them? Newbie at modding here
not talking about the options in TileZed either
nimble spoke
.tiles extesion is what you're looking for, I guess
There's a tool in TileZed that opens it
astral junco
livid zinc
Yeah but how you modify the properties of tiles in tilezed? besides using the menu of options they provide?
There's no place to add the code that rocky suggested to modify tiles to make noclip? Like I said newb modder
nimble spoke
What property are you looking for?
livid zinc
rocky suggested this to make those walkable "Rocky - Today at 1:03 PM
I can describe this idea. As we know, that in the stairs there is a collision on the sides, and the only way to go through it is to use noclip. I thought of making a perimeter, in which the coordinates of the staircase were indicated. And if the player was in them, then he would get the noclip property. But this property will also act on the buildings that will be built in this perimeter. so this method is far from ideal. It would be simpler if the developers duplicated the property of the ladder but would do it without collisions on the sides.
PStairs.square = {
P11 = {x = 1, y = 1};
P12 = {x = 2, y = 1};
P21 = {x = 2, y = 2};
P22 = {x = 1, y = 2};
};
I don't know where to do that ^^^
not from tilezed at least from what I can tell
I'm interested in modifying the behavior of tiles
beyond tilezed's menu
nimble spoke
There are stairs without collision on the sides
I know that painfully well
or do you mean walking under them?
livid zinc
I get that, but where is the file that has the properties that determine that behavior ? so I can mimic or change that
nimble spoke
Check the stair tiles
nimble spoke
The one you're using
livid zinc
lol there's no option for that in tilezed
thats what i was saying
there's not a noclip function
So how do I make a tile, that isn't stairs, be defined as stairs? that you can move any direction on
he suggested that code^^ but i don't know where to put that code
Assume i know nothing beyond using tilezed, what do I do π
astral junco
for this you will need to create a lua file in your mod, and this code does not solve the problem, I just showed an example)
livid zinc
Is there a way to modify the behavior of tiles besides adding new LUA? since I don't know how to do that, but I could probably manage modifying tile properties via notepad++
cause if the answer is no I'll stop wasting everyone's time lol
astral junco
Do you want to change the behavior of the stairs?
livid zinc
how about any tiles lol?
i'd settle for that
I just want to do stuff beyond the options provided in tilezed
I assume there is a file somewhere where the behavior of tile's is set
if I could modify that file, or knew where to find it....... I would be a step closer
Or is the behavior hardcoded and unchangeable without creating new LUA scripts?
some explanation to this might help^
astral junco
This doesn't be changed with the help of LUA. I think you just need to agree that you can climb the stairs up and down)
livid zinc
where would i do that
how would I do that
<--------treat me like I'm as dumb as I sound to you I guess it what I'm saying
nimble spoke
I think first you should find the stairs tiles and check its details, then check the carpentry lua file, it may have something that helps
.tiles have all the tiles in the game, so search for the stairs
livid zinc
I opened tiledefinitions.tiles
This makes no sense
hell I don't even know where carpentry.lua is?
That's what I mean i need some help lol assume I know nothing about modding files/lua or where they are stored
nimble spoke
it isn't called carpentry.lua, I don't remember the name

Greetings! Do not tell me? How can I unpack Characters.pack? I tried to open it with the help of Modding Tools, but it did not work. ((
pine vigil
WorldEd/TileZed provides a tool in the program that let's you open .pack files
quaint nightBOT
astral junco
Interesting why this does not work? Others files with the .pack format work well
pine vigil
Characters may not be a conventional pack file, more for just a way to compress the player stuff into one file. Rather than just being tiles.
I'm only guessing.
vocal wigeon
I think I finally found a function to play a sound at an arbitrary location without getting errors...
quaint nightBOT
quaint nightBOT
naive crystal
no idea
nimble spoke
Considering this is a test build, they may be changing that, a .pack file perhaps?
nimble spoke
I'm out of ideas, you should seek higher powers

Can I suggest correcting this code in the class HandWeapon.class?
I haw weapon Barrett M107, Weight = 13
In my opinion it would be more logical to write setWeight(getWeight() * part.getWeightModifier());
Because in the form in which it is, you can get a negative weight value for weapons.
If i add this mod in my M107:
That weight practically does not change, in fact the utility of this modification tends to zero. If I try to increase the value, I can get a negative weight from the rest of the weapon.
nimble spoke
Is there a list of working functions for, let`s say GetSprite? I need to GetSprite()getName for example
plucky jungle
Object:getSprite():getName();
nimble spoke
yeah, but do we have a getCurrentFrame, CurrentTexture or whatever? Is there a known list somewhere?
I think there`s a getFrame but apparently that returns the number in a table of frames
plucky jungle
Do you want to add post processing effects?
nimble spoke
No, I want to detect ground texture (snow), and so far nothing worked
nimble spoke
As I suspected, getName returns the original sprite name, thank you for the help
I`ll need to find whatever property is changed
nimble spoke
I see there`s a ReplaceCurrentAnim, is there a GetCurrentAnim or something like that I could use to detect the frame?
quaint nightBOT
nimble spoke
@plucky jungle Not a character frame, the "tile frame"as it seems to be referenced
lusty dagger
all the devs need to do is add a ford crown model and that mod will look great

Hey all
I'm working on a reloading mod to allow ammo crafting for the vanilla firearms, and I'm trying to make sense of the documentation. I'm wondering if anyone would have a minute to maybe give me an example of how I would, say, hook into the game's gunshot event
pine vigil
@plain monolith Yo.
pine vigil
You want to use the lua event "OnWeaponSwing" since it's a catch all for weapon attacks.
So in your script you want a line outside of anything else like:
Events.OnWeaponSwing.Add(functionName)
Where functionName is the name of your function that you want to call.
function onReload()
print("Player reload")
end
Events.OnWeaponSwing.Add(onReload)
For example.
plain monolith
Awesome, thanks! Is there a better way to look for the various events and such? I was making my way through the javadoc
pine vigil
I don't know if the JavaDoc actually lists the events. I might write something tomorrow.
I feel like a lot of the resources for that list have kind of dissapeared.
plain monolith
I see. Do you know if there are any resources for finding the events?
pine vigil
I feel like a lot of the resources for that list have kind of dissapeared.
Short of decompiling the code.
plain monolith
Gotcha
pine vigil
@plain monolith Quickly pulled from the source code
Don't have descriptions, so may not be a whole lot of use.
plucky jungle
Oh thats cool!

What other projects is everyone working on?

ok so im trying to do the following:
in hydrocraft trade i added more to the trade table
so 100 dollar for a stack of lumber and that works, now when i wanna buy ammo from orgm it does not show the icon nor does it give me the item but it does take my money the bastard. So is this problem cause hydro cant read 9mmammo cause i didnt import the orgm data ?

Now not in a txt file, and hosted somewhere under TIS control.
Pages are very basic and still need to actually make the rest of them, but at least there's a list that can be updated/amended by all.

@plucky jungle did you just alter the base game male character model?
plucky jungle
No, it's a model of vest and pants
There are only three of them, trousers, a sweater and a vest
placid delta
So you had to replace the clothing models of base game clothes?
plucky jungle
Yes, unfortunately so far this is the only way to replace them.
quaint nightBOT
quaint nightBOT
placid delta
@plucky jungle Have you experimented with trying to add more clothes
plucky jungle
Yes, of course, but now it's impossible to do
Connall promised to add this method to the next build of transport, as soon as it appears, I will check everything.
pine vigil
It's already been added, waiting for the build to clear.
placid delta
Have you identified the place where a model is tied to an clothing type item?
plucky jungle
@pine vigil And could you give me just this class for tests? Or is it really too brazen of me? :))
placid delta
sadly the only build i can play without viscous lag and perfocmance problems is 37. so thats not so good news for me
pine vigil
You should try the vehicle build tomorrow and see how that fairs for you.
