@astral junco There are only three models, pants vest and sweater, if you replace the pants, then all of your characters, including zombies, will wear these pants. ๐

plucky jungle
placid delta
there is like hair models too
placid delta
what about the texture fot those trousers? where does that come in?
plucky jungle
Did not quite understand the question.
placid delta
have you tried renaming Trousers_white.png and Trousers.txt model to something else like ArmyTrousers.txt and ArmyTrousers_white.png then adding a new item of clothing type like this:
item ArmyTrousers
{
Palettes = ArmyTrousers_White,
BodyLocation = Bottoms,
PalettesStart = ArmyTrousers_,
Type = Clothing,
Temperature = 8,
SpriteName = ArmyTrousers,
DisplayName = Pants,
Icon = ArmyTrousers,
}
plucky jungle
These models simply will not load the game into RAM, the game will not know about their existence
placid delta
You tried it? so the game loads these models as hard coded explicit examples then... thats too bad. would have made more sense to make the game search for models based on clothing code name
plucky jungle
placid delta
what file was that shot taken from?
plucky jungle
ModelManager.class
placid delta
i see, so we could do it with mod that includes java side changes, .... but if Connall already got soemting in the works. then doesnt seem worth the effort
plucky jungle
pine vigil
@placid delta It's not a complex change, I'm not even entirely sure what the change will accomplish. I only added it because Di-Crash seemed to believe it would help in some manner.
plucky jungle
Here are two methods through which the game loads the models, they are virtually identical. The difference in one argument
pine vigil
Wait, so you implemented the change in decompiled code and it worked?
plucky jungle
No, of course not, I would kill the eternal eternity in order to restore this code after decompilation. ))
placid delta
I can compile the java if i can get the original .class file. not an error full decompiled version
what exactly is it that was added?
pine vigil
-nope-
That looks dreadful.
Just added/tweaked some lua methods.
But no idea to what effect.
plucky jungle
I believe this should work! ๐
pine vigil
I'll take your word on that ๐
placid delta
I dont see that line in ModelManager.class
pine vigil
Which one?
placid delta
he said all those this.loadModel lines are in the ModelManager.class file but i just decompiled and looking in that file and i dont see any lines like that
placid delta
hard to believe any decompiler could be so wrong. nope dont see anything like that
can you git checkout that file and give us
pine vigil
Sure. Let me just... hey, wait a minute! You almost got me.
placid delta
RJ gave me the IsoPlayer.class file a few times.... was no big deal
plucky jungle
We do not need this file)) This one LuaManager$GlobalObject.class
placid delta
if we had, we could add extra load model lines. and then recompile it. and require it as paste in for part of a mod
wait which build are you using?
maybe becuase im using a very old one my file is different
plucky jungle
38.30
placid delta
is that IWBUMS or vehicle?
placid delta
I still dont see those screen shot lines in the ModelManager.class file
pine vigil
@placid delta Upload your version of ModelManager.
placid delta
pine vigil
Well that's why, that whole chunk of comments. It's wiped out a fair amount of the code.
Bad decompile it would seem.
placid delta
sigh, guess you have no choice but to give me git credentials so i can chcekout the fiel myself
pine vigil
All about ssh keys with me.
plucky jungle
@placid delta Why do you need this file?
placid delta
you could use it to load extra models you make yourself. ofcourse you would need to include your edited version of this file as a "paste in install dir" type of install for your mod if you make something using it
plucky jungle
This is so-so prospect, you need a method that will allow you to say a game from Lua, see I have models for you
Look at this file, LuaManager$GlobalObject.class, specifically here on this code https://i.imgur.com/iBk7gpI.png
This method does the same as the ones I've linked before. Only he works out of lua
placid delta
Yeah an lua method is a better solution, if u can get it.
plucky jungle
Yes, and that's exactly what Connall promised to us. Exactly the same method, not telling the game that the model you want to load is static.
pine vigil
And that is exactly what should be going out in the next build.
plucky jungle
I understand understood. I'm just not sure what Nolan understood what I meant at the beginning of the conversation. ๐
placid delta
I just wanted to try something right now am being impatient
plucky jungle
@pine vigil By the way, I wanted to ask. As far as I understand the game does not have a engine, most of the functionality is added to the hand? The rendering of the image is written directly on the libraries from DirectX? In the group in which I argued this, I was banned for the flame. Was I right, or not?
pine vigil
It's not DirectX it's a LWJGL Framework, that's graphical rendering is done via OpenGL I believe.
plucky jungle
But still the engine was not used when developing the game?
pine vigil
Tis the season, fellow modders. Santa Connall is looking at his work list and checking it twice. Figuring out who's been naughty and nice, this... is the time. To... send letters to Santa's Workshop so that... you're wishes can come true! Ehm.... So...

Not working as in, not working as you were hoping, or not working as in the function is just not there?

The model is explicitly loaded into the game, but it does not appear on the character.
I tried everything to exclude the possibility of my mistake.

I tried to use loadZomboidModel directly. By adding a parameter bStatic = false. But it did not work either. ((

Sorry, wish it had worked out for you.

It is very unfortunate that this did not work, it seemed that this is a simple effective solution. But it seems that the problem is somewhere deeper in the code, and I naively could not see it. What a fool I am. I'll go find a bottle of whiskey

@rocky lynx the path is right, there is something wrong with my method of adding plants compared to the "standard" method it seems, weird because everything esle works perfectly.
rocky lynx
@nimble spoke let me check your mod mmmm
well you write this : farming_vegetableconf.icons["Beets"] = "Item_SFBeetroot";
and you need to write: farming_vegetableconf.icons["Beets"] = "media/textures/Item_SFBeetroot.png";
if you want to set a icon that was inserted on texture pack, you don't need to write the path.
example: Item_Eggplant (A basegame icon that was inside of texturepack).
farming_vegetableconf.icons["Eggplant"] = "Item_Eggplant";
Sorry about my language i speak spanish.

lua code with error on line 58, but it only has 57 lines, what do?

yeah, missing end at end-of-file
nimble spoke
my bad, it wasn't in fact the file that has 57 lines but the other file with a similar name that calls this one with 57 lines. After a windows 10 catastrophe here the game acts like the file is missing for some reason
yesterday I had it working, today I get an error on a code I didnt even touch
quaint nightBOT
cursive roost
@nimble spoke having the file and the actual error code helps
astral junco
How can I hide some professions when creating a character? what source file do I need to change?
nimble spoke
@cursive roost I went back to a previous version and worked from there
nimble spoke
How can I get a public veriable like health from IsoDoor when it doesn't have a getHealth?
I'm surprised IsoDoor doesn't have getHealth or getMaxHealth
nimble spoke
I should stop working on these things with half-sleeping brain, it is probably very obvious but I can't see it right now
quaint nightBOT
nimble spoke
@cursive roost doesn't look like it is what I'm looking for, it seems to be always 100
I mean, I attack a door and it changes nothing
nimble spoke
Well, I attacked the door and getDamage() == 100 keeps validating
cursive roost
huh
nimble spoke
I don't see SetDamage being called anywhere
I think it simply doesn't change from 100
cursive roost
I don't have my coding machine handy
but it's in IsoObject.class
in a function that gets called when the object is hit, Damage gets reduced by 10
nimble spoke
That's the file I'm checking
cursive roost
well, at least that was the case in build 36 which is the last one I checked
nimble spoke
I see that function, should I check the file from current build? Mine is older too
I'll do that because I'm out of options
pine vigil
If you give me a couple of mins I might have an answer for you.
nimble spoke
I'll wait Connall, but I just checked the version from vehicles build, and my guess is that damage is used for vehicle collision damage
pine vigil
It looks like Damage is health for a base IsoObject, while "Health" is the health of the door in IsoDoor. Why there is two seperate variables for it, is... strange.
Health is a public variable, so surely it must get bundled in when Lua creates a JavaObject for it.
So it should be accessible, I would have thought.
But why there isn't a getter function also seems weird.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
nimble spoke
Yeah, that's my problem, I need getHealth and getMaxHealth
Can you work your magic?
pine vigil
If you get the IsoDoor object in lua, are you not able to just do .Health ?
I mean, I'll probably add those functions anyway. However it could be a while before it gets in, since we're heading into Christmas.
nimble spoke
Let me do a quick test
Looks like it works, but then health == max health keeps validating even after attacking the door a few times, I'm probably doing something wrong here
Yeah, weird, I destroyed the door and even before the last hit health was equal max health
pine vigil
It might be if you get the variable and keep referencing it, the values are static.
So for instance.
Say our IsoDoor is called door
We create a lua variable called LuaDoor
door is hit, Health value changes.
LuaDoor health still equals 100. Because in the variables constrution, it copies all the variables, rather than referencing the original memory locations.
That's assuming you are creating a variable in the first place.
WHICH YOU PROBABLY AREN'T

nimble spoke
I'm checking if I should add the repair context menu when I right click, so it checks for objects and if they are an instance of isodoor
pine vigil
Damn, I bet I'm going to have to boot this all up.
nimble spoke
So far the same system works perfectly for a window, but for windows I'm checking isDestroyed()
So the door variables would be copied when I right-click it anyway
pine vigil
Time fo me to check this out then.
nimble spoke
uhhhhh trying to print the values say I'm trying to call nil, so health == max health means nil == nil?
That would mean it doesn't work
pine vigil
I think there's something else that needs to be called, but I can't remember what it was.
nimble spoke
I'm putting it aside for now, I can wait for a possible update of IsoDoor
pine vigil
Probably for the best, seems like a bit of pain to do otherwise. Been trying to figure it out.
pine vigil
@nimble spoke I have added some getter functions. So possibly when the next vehicles build comes out, is when it will be available.
But I'm pretty sure it's locked down now until after Christmas.

Quick question does IsoGameCharacter.Say("Some text"); have the same effect as IsoGameCharacter.Callout(); in terms of how zombies react, like if I use IsoGameCharacter.Say("Some text"); will zombies react to the player saying "Some text" ?
vocal wigeon
They do not. Say does not generate "sound" that zombies hear. There's another function for generating sound that zombies respond to
obsidian tulip
Thank you
obsidian tulip
Do you know how to make the player generate sound ? I can't seem to find the function in the javadocs
obsidian tulip
nvm I emulated the zombies reacting to the player by using zombie:spotted(player, true) which forces the zombie to spot the player, which is the desired effect I am looking for

@pine vigil How's your 2018 so far? Ready to be bugged about... bugs?
pine vigil
Haha, go for it.
nimble spoke
Ok, so, if I add a new evolved recipe that uses existing base and result items, it doesn't show up but it doesn't break anything or spawn error warnings
in my example I copied the "beverage" recipe, gave it a new name but kept the original items
If I change the items to the ones I created for it, then all changes, I get errors
I may need to write them down one by one, but all I can say so far is that the code for evolved recipes can't handle a new recipe, or I'm missing something it needs
nimble spoke
Ok, let me change them here
nimble spoke
Right now it doesn't generate errors, but the context menu for the new recipes don;t show up. Try using a tomato in any recipe to see what happens.
I think I forgot to change spawn tables
Use your higher powers to spawn items
pine vigil
Will take a look at it tomorrow.
nimble spoke
Thanks
pine vigil
@nimble spoke It's working for me...?
You're tomatoes I can place in a pasta pan.
I can make Cooking pot with beans.
I don't see any new evolved recipes though.
It's in your SFCookItems.txt but it's just a blank section.
nimble spoke
That's how it works if my new evolved recipes are in the Base module, if I move them to my filcher module then more errors appear
I have no idea why the evolved recipes don't appear, I think nobody figured how to use them so far
IsoDoor updated, thank you @pine vigil
pine vigil
Cool.
I mean looking through your files you sent, I don't see new evolved recipes that you have created.
Where are they stored in code?
nimble spoke
They're in SFCookModifiedItems.txt do I have to add them somewhere else?
pine vigil
Ah! There they are, okay let me test it again.
Okay, so you have no items that go into this evolved recipe which means it can't be created.
nimble spoke
But I do? At least for one of them, I changed all fruits
nimble spoke
Should have picked Outdoorsman
pine vigil
Okay, so...
Here's how I understand it.
You can't do evolvedrecipe right away, because it's of incompatible type. You can't use Drainable item types for an evolved recipe. It needs to be a food.
What's actually happening in game, is that Drainables get converted to another item that is of food type through a simple recipe.
If you want to see what I mean, you need to look at WaterPot and WaterPotRice and the conversion that happens there.
Juice is a bit of interesting one, because it's always essentially something that's Drainable.
Though I would maybe argue that, it's not really something that's supposed to be an evolvedrecipe but rather just a standard one. Unless you're doing mixed fruit drinks I guess.
Possibly something to chalk up to evolvedrecipe system not being particularly robust enough.
nimble spoke
But hot drink uses the mug with water as base item
pine vigil
Hmm... that's a good point.
nimble spoke
As I said, using the same base and result items used by an existing evolved recipe won't work, for example salad and fruit salad share the bowl as base item, I tried a new recipe that uses it
pine vigil
Hot drink is also currently broken I feel.
nimble spoke
Is it? I know it shows up in game, but didn't try it
pine vigil
I'm trying to open context menu for mug of water but it's erroring out on my side for some reason.
I fixed this error before, I guess it got trashed at some point.
Maybe evolved recipes just aren't working for some reason.
nimble spoke
Stir fry worked for me, but if I tried to use tomatoes it failed to get the name from tomato. So intead of calling it a tomato stir-fry it was just stir-fry
And I think the cause was that I changed tomato to add my own evolved recipe to the list

@pine vigil How hard would it be to add an EveryMinute event? We have nothing between OnTick and EveryTenMinutes to work with
pine vigil
I don't think it would be too hard I suppose.
Actually no.
Because it's in game clock.
Which only increments in ten minute chunks.
nimble spoke
Hmmmm, ok. Is there a reliable way to work around it? OnTick is waaay too fast for basically anything I try to do
pine vigil
What you trying to do?
nimble spoke
Making traps or other effects that need to detect a player or zombie passing by
EveryTenMinutes is too slow, I can walk by and avoid the effect entirely
OnTick fires like crazy before I can tell it to stop
nimble spoke
It is a trap in the trap system, are those IsoObjects?
pine vigil
Let me check...
nimble spoke
How about a OnEveryTenthTick? lol
pine vigil
Yes it is.
Use OnObjectCollision.
Then just do a check type/name/whatever on the object.
nimble spoke
Does it fire when there's no "collision"?
pine vigil
No.
nimble spoke
I mean, if the object doesn't block movement will it fire when I walk on it?
pine vigil
I believe so.
nimble spoke
Ohhh nice, survivors too?
pine vigil
I would assume so.
nimble spoke
I'll make some tests with OnObjectCollide then, thanks
placid delta
@nimble spoke you can just use ontick event and have a counter inc then a condition like this:
If not counter then counter = 0 end
Counter = counter + 1
If counter % 10 == 0 then
-- stuff to happen every tenth on tick
End
nimble spoke
Interesting solution @placid delta, is that how you handled your traps?
placid delta
Can't say I remember
I think I used on player update even and on zombie update event for those
toxic lance
guys, can somebody enlight me about sendClientCommand/OnClientCommand ?)
in particular: should I do smth special for server to load the lua script except placing it into media/lua/server folder?
pine vigil
Not as far as I'm aware, the server should just load the script IIRC.
What you want to know about sendClientCommand/OnClientCommand?
toxic lance
in short: "why this damn thing does not answer the sendClientCommand" ๐
I wrote client script that spawnHorde around the mouse current position, works good in solo mode
but when I moved the spawn code into the server script, assigned all events in both client and server, the method on the server is never get called...
I used @placid delta 's Nocturnal zombies mod as a reference ๐
tho it is a bit suspicious why he has the same code for both server and client to move zombies...
placid delta
bc on mp, trying to do anything with isoZombie objects does nothing, so I just copied the sp code to a server function which gets run on server side via a sendClientcommand. so that it will work server side on mp.
just kind of a lazy hack job. so on sp, it still runs the clientcommand message but obviously does nothing. and on mp. it still runs the sp code client side aslong with the client command but again the client side will do nothing
toxic lance
thing is the callback OnClientCommand is never called in my case... or at least "print" never show up in the console
placid delta
hmm ya i dont think print server side will show up in your client console
toxic lance
it does not spawn zombies either
and what about "SERVER: ping@ping" messages in the console?
aha, there is another log file called coop-console
placid delta
try getting a random zombie from getCell():getZombies() and killing it servers side for a test
toxic lance
found the bug already, there was a stack trace in another log file ๐
hm getSpecifiedPlayer(0) returned 0 on the server side...
pine vigil
You mean getSpecificPlayer?
toxic lance
yeah, thanks @pine vigil , that was it

yes you can press f11(i think) and search for a lua script and reload it.
toxic lance
is it -debug or -Ddebug?

๐
ok, now it works, thanks again)

hi @pine vigil do you know how the erosion.ini file works? On my server trees don't grow up anymore, not even slowly and there is neither hot or cold, and i don't know how to fix it....any idea?

I'd love some insight into the erosion system, that thing is black magic right now

quaint nightBOT
pine vigil
I don't really know much about Erorsion I'm afraid, but it's certainly something that I could look in to. I could maybe spend some time looking through the code and creating a little info sheet about all the variables in the erostion.ini file, if it's something that would be helpful? @royal chasm @nimble spoke
royal chasm
@pine vigil yes Connall, thank you, it would be really helpfull. I wonder if, by modifying something in that file, in a game already started, would cause errors in the server, or if it can be done. mmm....
Where will you post this info file?
pine vigil
Probably on the forums, but I'll link through here like I usually do.

I wished there's easier way to test workshop mods on the server.
placid delta
Anyone know how to trigger that big red server message thing that is used on MP but use it on SP?
feral eagle
@stuck kayak It's pretty easy, just use the Self-Host feature on the bottom right of tge main menu, add the Mods of your choosing with a few clicks here and there in the server settings, boot it up, and enjoy.
If your server Terminates itself before it fully launches, chances are a Mod's incompatible with that version or just not at all.
stuck kayak
I made a mod to cap in game perks and skills in a controlled RP environment.
I am still not so well verse in luanet stuff and I can't get the user who sent the data from the client to the server so I could filter the data and send only to that person rather than to all.
Probably I have to send the player name or something and store them into a table.

the zombie kill count on character menu, where is that stored? i cant seem to find a get method for it
pine vigil
@placid delta IsoGameCharacter -> getZombieKills()
astral junco
and can you add the count of people killed? is there any event that looks like OnPlayerKill
pine vigil
getSurvivorKills() is probably what you seek.
placid delta
thanks i dont know how i didnt see it
where is that list of events thread? such as OnPlayerUpdate OnWeaponSwing etc
placid delta
why are some events red letters and have no info on parameters?
pine vigil
It's because a page hasn't been created for it.
Which I (or anyone really) has to do manually.
Christmas break arrived and I doing some other things, so haven't created the rest of the pages yet.
Was going to write a bot, but it appears the wiki API isn't exposed which is a bit of a bummer.
placid delta
is that info taken from an lua file or a class /java file?
pine vigil
Depends where the events get triggered.
Sometimes it's lua, most of the time it's in Java class files.
placid delta
what params for OnZombieDead, just zombie?
ah nvm, the OnWeaponHitCharacter had the params listed in the wrong order that was my problem
yikes at some point we gonna need to auto read these infos so they are acurate and up to date all the time
pine vigil
Theoretically they should rarely if ever actually change, in that case it was probably me screwing up the ordering.
It's a rather tedious process.
placid delta
it appears as if the order of the params DID change at one point
my old mod show damage has it like this: (wielder, victim, weapon, damage)
but when i try it like that now on vehcile build this happens:
victim is a handweapon obj
oh no its just me being stpuid, i was using OnWeapon Swing event

Is it possible to listen local chat as I couldn't trigger any while using OnWorldMessage event?
placid delta
i think onworldmessage is for the big red lettered server messages not normal chat messages
placid delta
i see. if its for a mod this wont help but, you can get it from the log files.
stuck kayak
Yea, it would be cool if there's a way for mods so I could create custom mod commands that is triggered by what you speak in the server.
placid delta
maybe the OnReceiveUserlog is what you need
placid delta
anyway to detect what a player is crafting. I found how to detect that a player is crafting ...something. but seems to be no info on the recipe name or result in the crafting timed action returned from getPlayerActions()
I COULD track the items in inv before the craft finishes and then check again to see what appeared and asuume that is the result but i hope it does not have to come to that?
spare cloud
What about tracking clicked text?
placid delta
How would you propose doing that exactly?
stuck kayak
I have checked OnReceiveUserlog and it fires on different stuff like when you dupeitem, getting kick... etc.
stuck kayak
hmm I found a file "lua\client\ISUI\ISChat.lua"... maybe I could override that to fire a simple event to get the text the player type themselves.
I guess it is not hurtting to try and make a module that add additional events to existing chatbox and fire event. I am pretty sure I saw some player want something similar.
hmm
isn't that also based on OnWorldMessage. guess I need to dig further
pine vigil
When you say local chat, are you talking about LocalChat or are you talking about when a player says something in character? @stuck kayak
stuck kayak
I want to get the message that is written by the user in the chat box.
OnWorldMessage only fires on global chat "/all messages"
placid delta
you know you could just add another text input box of your own
stuck kayak
I got a request from my server that they wanted custom chatbox that let them use like
!say "name" "message"
which will result in having a different name as though you are talking as another person but it is just server admins who wanted to hide themselves without having to change their names all the time.
I figured the best option is to replace the chatbox after I found out that chatboxes are just lua scripts.

Yeah, creating the ability to define settings specific to your mods for the option menu. Would mean no need to override the options menu from a mod and also means you won't have to do UI programming which can be rather tedious.

Man, admins really need more tools on servers.
Like the ability to create waypoints to travel to, without creating mini no-PvP zones.
Or being able to designate certain things on the server as being indestructible.
placid delta
waypoints, good mod idea. but i imagine a imersion killer\
forest ferry
It's for admins and moderators to teleport around the map quickly.
Not for regular players. Only people who can teleport.
As an added bonus, if it could output what position the waypoint is at, then server admins could use the x and y co-ordinates to add it to the spawn point list.
In this format:
return {
unemployed = {
{ worldX = 40, worldY = 22, posX = 67, posY = 201 }
}
}
end```So the x and y tile, and the position within that tile.

Commented version of the erosion.ini file. Obviously don't use this file in your server.
I didn't put this up on the forum, because it took a bit of guess work. Not sure I got everything right, but it seems to be a very data driven/statistical file for erosion. Not really a player facing thing.

I love the idea of spent casings littering an area where guns have been fired.

Listening to SovietWomble currently about why DayZ became such a popular mod for Arma
And he also talks about the different settings each server used, which became their own versions of the mod.
Things like base building, different approaches to survival mechanics etc.
And one of the things he said became rather essential to the DayZ experience, especially multiplayer teamwork, was the missions plugin. It gave groups of players something to engage with, rather than idly roaming around the map and killing people for fun.
Things like pockets of rogue military resistance, with a reward for clearing them out. Even if it's the equipment they were carrying. 3 players vs 20 NPCs forces people to think tactically and to use teamwork, and the gunfire would attract other players around the map, which would then become a PvP fight. According to Soviet, just about every server had the missions plugin in the end.
forest ferry
Of course, this is Project Zomboid, not DayZ. But I feel he might still have a point.
Not necessarily involving NPCs with guns, more the random "prompts" that create bursts of activity and spark chain reactions
rose leaf
@forest ferry might be worth posting that as an idea on the suggestions forum
forest ferry
You sure? Would probably work better as a mod, rather than a feature in the base game
I'll clip the stuff he says, and put it here.
mystic cape
Thatโs a pretty smart mod, donโt see why you wouldnโt want it as a mechanic, helps create spontaneous content for players.
forest ferry
The problem with putting it as a mechanic in the base game means it has to be polished to perfection. Which means waiting a long time for it, or having it in IWBUMS or other test builds.
Having it as a mod? It's optional, people can contribute to it.
mystic cape
True, but PZ has a lot of checkboxes already. ๐
Like, seriously, Sandbox PZ itches my checkbox obsession.
cursive roost
people bitch about the very existance of some mods :/
forest ferry
I mean there's nothing stopping you from incorporating a mod into the base game when it's at an acceptable level of quality.
mystic cape
The only mod I will bitch about, is that we lost the Naked Kate mod to time.
:โ)
forest ferry
DayZ was great because people modded it heavily, even creating their own versions of the mod itself.
There's something very sloppy but also great about random people in the community throwing their hat into the ring.
I'd actually love to see people create their own total conversions for PZ.
You'd see a lot more people playing it, or recommending it.
mystic cape
I think back during the K&B stages of the game, someone mentioned conversion from Zombies to the Chryssalids from Xcom
But I donโt think that ever happened.
cursive roost
I think the hardest part is getting enough scenarios together that it stays interesting
PZ isn't a shooter where "kill bad guys at <location>" is enough of an incentive
mystic cape
^ this
Could be like a bunch of little storylines? Like in journals/notepads.
Follow the trail, get a free rag burger.
That wouldnโt really be spontaneous, though.
nimble spoke
Something like an extension of the annotated maps, more specific loot as a reward
The key to a car with full trunk
mystic cape
Yeah, just little things that add on to the environmental storytelling that can already be seen
forest ferry
That already exists in the game, and I don't think it's enough.
You might think Project Zomboid is too subtle for "kill bad guys at location" but the truth is that it isn't. It just needs to approach that sort of scenario in its own unique Zomboid way.
Bandits or gang members would be a thing, especially during the apocalypse where you have to be both aggressive and communal to survive.
Instead of DayZ's "kill soldiers at this location" it could be PZ's "Kill the gang members who killed the soldiers at this location"
The important part for a missions plugin or mod would be generating some sort of commotion at a location, somehow.
Finding letters or treasure maps is far too tame. It would need to be something visual or auditory, like smoke burning in a forest, loud noises or gunshots. Or even zombies migrating towards the camp.

An idea would be a mod that causes random helicopter drops to happen. Spawns a helicopter event in the same area as the crate. Hordes are attracted to that central point.

Hrn, is it possible to mod muzzle flashes into the game?
Brief bits of light when guns are fired, maybe a sprite on the end of the gun

@forest ferry nice question, or maybe mod to eliminate the flash when a fireweapon is shooted?

I was thinking of making a video for the game

Firing a gun does light up the room for a split second

Right now you can see the recoil on the animation, and hear the sound, but I'd still like to see some sort of other effect from the barrel of the gun.
Anyway, I know this is still the modding channel.
What I wanted to ask is, is it possible to add things like that into the game (using mods), or not really?

i was wondering if someone could help me with an issue. a couple of the books we collected on my mp server for the communal library "dissapeared" a player must have taken them not put them back and logged off with them. typically an easy fix as i can console command them in or necroforge but these particular books are from a mod and necroforge is not compatible and they did not list the codenames for the items anywhere
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857723086
the advanced blade guard book (as the mod names it advanced blade defense) and the advanced blade maintenance (advanced knife sharpening) are any modders perhaps capable of finding the console command to add those particular books back in for me?
the mod id is listed as AdditionalBooks2 so I assume that means /additem "AdditionalBooks2.XXXXX" where x is the item codename but cannot actually find the codenames :/

Are the base items externalized or baked into the application? I got hold of ItemTweaker and want to test out a simple change: make bleach function as a disinfectant / sterilizer the way whiskey does. The syntax to make this item tweak (I'll actually just use his "example" mod OrganizedItemNames) seems pretty straightforward. But no idea what the member data or functions are for items like Bleach or whiskey.
nimble spoke
@true basin All items can be found in txt files inside media/scripts
You can check them and override them in your mod
true basin
First I'll just see if I can get this to work: TweakItem("Base.Bleach","DisplayName","Bleech");
and if so, I'll buckle down for the real changes I want to make.
Not sure if studying C++ for the past 2+ years has actually helped, but this stuff seems far less obscure than the last time I dug into any modding.
Any of you guys play with the "Survivors" mod?
Only 1 or 2 things I am turned off by with that one: (1) non ally NPCs seem to have a tendency to run around like 7 year olds high on too much high caffeine beverage; (2) the sudden arrival of "Marauder" NPCs who murder your allies and then depart.
nimble spoke
Tell that to @placid delta I played it a few times, never survived long
placid delta
It sounds like it's working just fine
As it says in desc, purpose is not to add intelligent NPC but basic reflex reacting survivors to throw in there to create chaos when the game starts
true basin
Not to say it "doesn't work!" Just that, I found those aspects of gameplay a tad bit unfun . . .
@placid delta: so do you play with it and survive for long periods?
Also, I'm curious: is yours the mod that is effectively "unlocking" the "original NPC algorithms" that Indie Stone released and then deactivated?
placid delta
No and no
true basin
ah!
nimble spoke
It surely creates a lot of chaos
placid delta
But I never really survive long no matter what mod or setting
true basin
I got a sandbox config I setup with the intent to make the game a bit less hectic right at the start.
placid delta
Something else fun to try with survivors is this:
Use orgm and set survivor spawn rate to 10. Zombie spawn off. Everyone is infected as sprinter zombies in settings sandbox. Spawn yourself some guns at start and Choose gun profession.
Makes for great fun chaos
Oh right, and chance to spawn with gun must be 100
I can't understand why people would not like the chaos in the zombie appocholypse
nimble spoke
I like the inital chaos, but I always try to gather a group of survivors and it seems to be a bad idea
drifting ore
Tbf, with me always playing really slowlike, it might be fun to try some chaotic scenarios
true basin
I kinda wanted to see how LONG I could survive ๐
and explore a larger fraction of the game content. So far, I've played probably up near ~50 hours and most all of that has been within a short range of central Muldraugh
@placid delta : so the Maruaders, do they just keep spawning infinitely?
or might it be possible to beat them back and weed out the numbers and then continue long-term with followers
Damn, this must be the most moddable game ever. Items are literally just in .txt files!? ๐ ```
item WhiskeyFull
{
HungerChange = -20,
Weight = 0.7,
Type = Food,
ThirstChange = -20,
DisplayName = Whiskey Bottle,
Alcoholic = TRUE,
UnhappyChange = -10,
ReplaceOnUse = WhiskeyEmpty,
Icon = WhiskeyFull,
CustomContextMenu = Drink,
CustomEatSound = PZ_DrinkingFromBottle,
AlcoholPower = 2,
Carbohydrates = 0,
Proteins = 0,
Lipids = 0,
Calories = 1500,
Packaged = TRUE,
CantBeFrozen = TRUE,
}
AlcoholPower seems to be the parameter I want. Disinfectant also has that one.
nimble spoke
Yes, it is very easy to mod certain aspects of this game
true basin
no idea if "Poison = true" or "PoisonPower = 40" are going to conflict with using Bleach as a disinfectant.
so I think I'll just comment out the vanilla item Bleach definition and plug in the key parameters from disinfectant.
{
Type = Drainable,
UseDelta = 0.1,
UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
DisplayName = Bottle of Disinfectant,
Icon = Alcohol,
Weight = 0.3,
AlcoholPower = 3,
Tooltip = Tooltip_Disinfectant,
}```If I can get it to work that way, then it might be worth trying to use the ItemTweaker so it is multi-mod compatible.
nimble spoke
I don't see a reason for conflict, poison is for drinking it
true basin
but I'm not sure if ItemTweaker can add parameters or nullify exising ones.
Well, the "Poison = True" parameter for Bleach MIGHT mean that any "use" of bleach results in poisoning.
nimble spoke
No, it means that "eating" it results in poisoning
true basin
Both Whiskey and bleach have "Type = Food" but Disinfectant has "Type = draining"
nimble spoke
That's the only way to get poisoned
true basin
you are probably right
the only common parameter for Whiskey and Disinfectant is "AlcoholPower = <int>" so that "variable(?)" is probably the one that tells the app the item can be used as a sterlizer/disinfectant
nimble spoke
Yeah, probably. I never tried it myself but it makes sense.
nimble spoke
Do you mean in the health panel or what?
true basin
must need to make some changes to recipe.txt as well
adding "AlcoholPower = 3," to Bleach did not provide a tool tip to "Disnfect rag" when i had some ripped sheets in my inventory, though it does for disinfectant (which also has AlcoholPower = 3,"
so it must be the recipe thing . . .
nimble spoke
Yes, you need the recipe
You should test the health panel too, as far as I remember the options there are hardcoded, but it is worth testing
true basin
probably just copy this stuff ``` recipe Disinfect Bandage
{
destroy RippedSheets,
WhiskeyFull;10,
Result:AlcoholRippedSheets,
Time:40.0,
Category:Health,
}
recipe Disinfect Bandage
{
destroy Bandage,
WhiskeyFull;10,
Result:AlcoholBandage,
Time:40.0,
Category:Health,
}``` and change Whiskey to Bleach
re: the health panel: you are saying you don't think that can be modded eh?
nimble spoke
I remember a discussion about it, that part of the game is very old, so it wasn't planned with modding in mind
true basin
argh . . .
"item Bleach" does not work with "BleachFull;10," . . .
but does work for "item WhiskeyFull" . . . duh
still no joy ``` recipe Disinfect Bandage
{
destroy RippedSheets,
WhiskeyFull;10,
Result:AlcoholRippedSheets,
Time:40.0,
Category:Health,
}```
works fine but ```recipe Disinfect Bandage
{
destroy RippedSheets,
Bleach;10,
Result:AlcoholRippedSheets,
Time:40.0,
Category:Health,
} ```
does not
what the heck is that semi-colon doing!?
apparently it is used to end a statement just like in C++, but why it is placed between the WhiskeyFull and 10 I cannot guess.

@pine vigil : apart from items.txt, newitems.txt, and recipes.txt, can you think of any other files I might look in to find scripts that could help me figure out how to get bleach to function as a sterilizer/disinfectant? Or is this likely to be something that cannot be modded?
pine vigil
Just create a recipe, that would do the trick

Nolan or anyone else could answer me this question. I'm been playing solo with survivors a bit. But how do i give my guys ammo? I tried filling a bag with boxes of ammo for a shotgun. Give the bag back to them. They pick it up. I give them shotty. But they still complain they have no ammo. or out of ammo.
Do you also plan on adding support for azerty/querty? Seems the default is querty and the controls are hard coded in the settings file but i can't seem to locate the Attack key. So when i move to the right it keeps shouting Attack!. Wich is kinda annoying. @placid delta
Don't know sure wich Nolan to higlight in a @. There's a green one and a blue one lol.

java.lang.RuntimeException: __lt not defined for operand <- what does it mean?
upper bough
from what I've read __lt is a python operator. The Java > Lua library that the game implements __lt and it appears to follow the same concept of "lt(a, b) is equivalent to a < b"
https://docs.python.org/2/library/operator.html
all I could find about it
what code are you running that gives you an error? I think an argument you passed is returning null
nimble spoke
I'll check that

Ok, so the problem is, I detect two properties for a tile, one is the CustomName and the other is PickUpWeight, but PickUpWeight isn't working

so I have been able to do a couple bug fixes to my hydrocraft mod but the changes are local only is there a way to pass the changes along to the other players connecting to my server? would I have to post it as a mod or something?
placid delta
Better yet just send (with explanation) to hydromancer bc he original author of hydrocraft so he can update it for all
quasi current
did that but still takes time for the updates if he does them ๐
quasi current
i was also trying to see if i could create a recipe to get a random male or female rabbit in hydrocraft. there are already commands under the ranching menu to look for certain animals and copying the structure i just added one to track live rabbits the issue is all the rest of the animals use the line "OnCreate:getHorse" or something similar i can put "OnCreate:getRabbit" but it wasnt pre defined and i am unsure where i might find where those definitions are set to add one for rabbits.
thats the text file i edited with the "Track Live Rabbits" recipe i had to use "OnCreate:HCRabbitGet" as a placeholder it is the command from breeding the rabbits and so gives a random selection of a few rabbits of either gender

How I can stop the sound??
self.character:getEmitter():playSound("Piano2");```๐ฆ
pine vigil
When you use play sound I believe it returns a variable of the sound. So if you store that you can run :stop() I believe.

soooo....there is a mod called Ranking that show me, how many kills every player made on my server. Is there a way to create a mod that show me, for how long a player has been alive? That could be a usefull way to find out the savescummer
even if there is ServerTransictionID enabled on my server, a player has been able to use his old saves after his death
placid delta
@Woldren#2619 yes you could def have a mod which could report this kind of user info, for all online players. If u need it for all players ever logged and not necessarily online right now, would be a lot more difficult

@astral junco sound = self.character:getEmitter():playSound("Piano2"); sound:stop()
Is what you should be doing, I believe. You need to run the command on the sound, not the emitter. I think, anyway.
quaint nightBOT
astral junco
@pine vigil It looks truthful, but for some reason it does not work. The music plays, but does not want to stop)
I found a script with a sound stop, it looks just like you said, but the sound doesn't stop(
function PianoAction:start()
player = self.character;
player:Say("Playing");
sound = getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("Piano2", false, player:getCurrentSquare(), 0.2, 200, 0.2, false) ; end
function PianoAction:stop()
ISBaseTimedAction.stop(self);
player:Say("Stop");
sound:stop(); end
I recall having no luck trying to stop sounds myself. It just did not work. Someone else said they same thing here before

can you make a static class method in lua?
proud spruce
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this. For some reason my lua script is no longer printing to the command line despite it doing so a while back (I'm getting back to it after a few months away) and everything working as it should. Another mod (Vorpal Weapons) is still printing just fine, so I'm not sure what's going on. Seen some forum posts with similar problems but no solutions posted. Anyone getting this?
pine vigil
Probably can't help very much, without seeing some code.

Highly abbreviated...
ZombChars = {};

return ZombRand(n)+1;

container:AddItem(itemlist[i]);

r = ZombChars.rng(#itemlist);
q = ZombChars.rng(quantity);
for i=1,q do
container:AddItem(itemlist[r]);

end
function ZombChars.addLoot(contRoom, contType, cont)
if contType == "inventorymale" or contType == "inventoryfemale" then
print("Found Corpse");

ZombChars.spawnRandom(cont, MailPost, 3, 6);
end
end
end
Events.OnFillContainer.Add(ZombChars.addLoot);```Have you tried putting a print outside the if statement, to see if the function is even getting called?
proud spruce
I just tried it and still no print, but the function has to be getting called because it's doing everything else that it should be doing (spawning additional loot on corpses).
proud spruce
I'm not sure what I'm missing. I am running a script that removes items from a zombie corpse and it's working... but the item only actually disappears when the server is restarted. This leads me to think maybe the client is getting the change (even though the script is running under /shared). Adding items afterward doesn't seem to "refresh" it either. Why does removing items have this problem but not adding items? (This is a multiplayer-only issue.)
The same thing happens with three different functions for removing items.
ZombTests = {};
function ZombTests.printTest(contRoom, contType, cont)
if contType == "inventorymale" or contType == "inventoryfemale" then
print("Found Corpse");
cont:removeAllItems();
end
end
Events.OnFillContainer.Add(ZombTests.printTest);```anyway to check if pathing to a square is blocked / possible ?

Is there an up to date guide on how to add mods from the workshop to a dedicated (headless) server?
clear slate
@rocky wave I'm not quite sure for a updated guide for it but all you need is to have two entries in your 'servername.ini' on the headless server.
[This example is to add Hydrocraft]
- Mods=Hydrocraft
- WorkshopItems=498441420
Add or edit these two lines in your server ini with the mods you want to use. Seperate mods/workshopitems with an ;
Add all the ones you want to use. both their Workshopitem ID from the workshop and name of the mod in the mods section.
rocky wave
Thats what I have and it will not load them ๐ฆ do you leave the mod in the steamapps folder or move them out into root/mods?
@clear slate

@rocky wave you don't move them anywhere, steam will download it to the right directory if you have the proper Workshop-Mod-ID

I am creating a new chatbox which also includes custom command feature. (There will be a server side settings to let you rollback to the original chatbox)
I figured when overriding ISChat method, it is going to break when the new chatbox is released. Vehicle branch and main branch also had slight difference so... I can't inject custom stuff into it. To add some twist, I added a color picker as part of the feature. (Can be disabled via server side settings)

@nimble spoke Just so you know, I'm only getting around to checking the blacksmithing bug, I was zoning the past few weeks and just really needed to get that done.
@nimble spoke I just realised you said furnace, is this a HydroCraft issue?
nimble spoke
@pine vigil No, enabling the blacksmith code in ISBlacksmithMenu.lua grants access to the official one, that was left out when metalworking was added.
I understand that it is a WIP, but right now most of it works, I just can't melt metal items because it crashes, so I believe the game has the wrong version of BSFurnace.class or something like that
I's also like to point that the furnace tiles have no walk collision
pine vigil
It's not WIP, it's discontinued.
nimble spoke
I just thought that maybe if it is something easy to identify and correct, I could make it a mod
Discontinued, ok
I think it is a damn shame it is all there mostly working, and we can't use it. So I'm volunteering to make it a mod

Check line 1124, the problem happens when adding XP for melting the items?

I think the devs respond to bugs, recipes, vehicles, etc more because they're work-in-progress systems and modders sometimes stumble upon bugs that the devs missed

@astral junco Get the IsoGridSquare and do <IsoGridSquare>:Is(IsoFlagType.water);
