let me dig up my code really quickly
#mod_development
upper bough
placid delta
could you reference me the mod where you do this so i can look at it
pine vigil
I just remember some big kerfluffle over some IO class that was used causing concerns and ultimately being disabled.
upper bough
I'll send you the files, just finding them quickly. just a few .lua files
@pine vigil might have been me, if it was about it spamming the hard disk.
pine vigil
Maybe, this was during my time of being a community member, not a dev. Not even a moderator! Was quite a while ago. So details in my mind are fuzzy.
upper bough
CheatCoreCM.readFile = function(modID, fileName)
local fileTable = {}
local readFile = getModFileReader(modID, fileName, true)
local scanLine = readFile:readLine()
while scanLine do
fileTable[#fileTable+1] = scanLine
scanLine = readFile:readLine()
if not scanLine then break end
end
readFile:close()
return fileTable
end
local writeFile = getModFileWriter(modID, fileName, true, false)
for i = 1,#tableToWrite do
writeFile:write(tableToWrite[i].."\r\n");
end
writeFile:close();
end
for reading and writing
you have to scan each line of the file individually
placid delta
so tables in and tables out. looks good
upper bough
yup
keep in mind you have to read and write each line separately, or at least that's what worked for me.
upper bough
it might still be possible, might need a lot of icky iterators though
placid delta
or serialize it into one line before saving
stuck kayak
it works but windows is \r\n while mac is \n
upper bough
\n worked fine for me and I'm on Windows.
stuck kayak
just that notepad display sux.
upper bough
lua's a rather high level language so there's probably a lot of sterilization involved, i.e it automatically converts newlines when it processes
stuck kayak
I usually serialize lua table into json before saving files. it works like a charm.
placid delta
getModFileWriter is returning nil. hmm what could be wrong
if (new File(filename).isAbsolute())) {
return null;
why i cant use absolute path?
pine vigil
Why would you want to use an Absolute path for a mod, that would be going to different file systems?
placid delta
i want to save in the save dir
upper bough
i don't think you can save outside of the mod's folder
placid delta
been using getSaveDir()
upper bough
you used to be able to, but security concerns stopped that. there's two file writers now, one for mods and one used internally for everything else
placid delta
so where can i save? in mod dir?
pine vigil
In your mods dir, I would think so.
placid delta
or i dont specify path, just file name, and it goes there by default with getModFileWriter ()?
upper bough
you can specify a path but that path can only be within the mod folder
placid delta
though this will mean my mod can only support 1 active save at a time
upper bough
for example, by default getModFileWriter points to the root directory of the mod
you can specify another folder within that root directory, but that's it
@placid delta just curious, which mod is this for?
placid delta
right i suppose i could make a file structure within the writable mod folder
upper bough
maybe numbering the saves would work. I don't have PZ installed right now but perhaps you could iterate through getModFileWriter?
I'm thinking that it might have a :Size() attribute or somesuch
placid delta
but how to put some kind of identifier on a single player save
when you make a sp game, you give it a name. how to gat that name string?
upper bough
saves are timestamped right?
placid delta
ya by default its a timestamp thing
upper bough
I remember using a function to "stick" an identifier to a character, hang on
upper bough
getPlayer():getModData() returns a table
upper bough
just wondering, what's the identifier for?
pine vigil
But will get lost if the player dies no?
And they decided to continue the save.
So would need to account for that I think.
upper bough
hmm, good point
pine vigil
What identifier?
placid delta
getWorld():getWorld() actually reutns the name you choose when making a sp game
upper bough
just wondering, what is it this mod does?
upper bough
kk
upper bough
getLatestSave() from LuaManager.Class works, it returns a table of the timestamp, difficulty and scenario. the timestamp doesn't change at all so you might be able to use that as an identifier
placid delta
it seems i got the saving working.
if io is disabled. then why does loadfile also have to be disabled

Why the game does not read my protected .luac format?( @pine vigil maybe you know?
With this format, scripts would load faster than usual
pine vigil
I don't know. Perhaps the game does not look for .luac files. Maybe kahlua doesn't support it. I don't know.
astral junco
@pine vigil
Yeah, as I understand it, the game only captures the .lua format, is there any chance that you will include .luac format? I'll be glad if you ask those who can add this) Compiled lua is much better than just lua, he gives a little protection and reading goes much faster

I'm getting this player model glitch quite often:
placid delta
it happens sometimes randomly after loading a IsoPlayer from a save file (IsoPlayer:load). can any provide insight as to why this might happen? maybe @inland gull
as you can see, it does not happen to all the IsoPlayers on the screen. just some randomly. but often
setting clothes, pants and weapon to nil and re setting can correct the models as the refresh from the re-equip but not always and no way to detect whether its screwed up like that or not so dont know how many times to refresh
placid delta
This is with current si build btw
static minnow
Anyone have any clues why ```require "BuildingObjects/ISBuildingObject"

is suddenly throwing up a fatal error whenever I launch PZ?

ISInventoryTransferAction always ask for src and destination Itemcontainer objects. in the case of a WorldItem object that is on the floor. What is the source container? how do you get the container object? if an item is on the ground then IventoryItem:getCOntaier() just returns nil
pine vigil
ISInventoryPage.floorContainer seems to have something to do with it.
I notice in the code it has a ISInventoryPage.floorContainer[player + 1] which, I'm not entirely sure the purpose of.
But ISInventoryPage.floorContainer seems to be the world container. If you go to the ISInventoryPane.lua and look at how the game handles, item dropping. That might help.
placid delta
it seems like the floor container only exists in a temporary state when a real local player is hover near by that square. otherwise it does not exist. so that wont work for my purposes. i'll just stick to my make shift method than. would have been nice if i could have used the ISInventoryTransferAction though

The Log Wall Upgrade mod that makes log walls unable to be destroyed by zombies is now compatible with the Log Wall Gates mod thanks to nolanritchie.
keen tangle
Awesome, I've never made a big base that needed much defending but having the walls break sounds annoying
placid delta
ya bunch of sissies, fraid of a few broken walls and zombies
Connal there is this "overrideAnimation" bool thing in IsoPlayer. it will be set to true if the current baseAction of a character has the overrideAnimation set to true. if so it ignores animation setting in player update and you can Play an animation over it.
if you guys made that overrideAnimation set able as part of the class and if true do not calculate it just skip animation handle.
then i could set run animations while path finding....which is something i need to do
or just add another bool into isoplayer class like forceOverideAnimations and add it as an "or" condition.

I just started modding, and I gotta say the basic tools are really well done 👌 very simple to get into
I'm trying to figure out how to make a recipe require a certain level in a skill, and am also wondering if it's possible to make a recipe change a character's stats directly (crafting something makes you anxious/sad/etc)
nimble spoke
@pine vigil I wanted to report that I made additional tests and with a few changes the blacksmith code is playable, with the exception of the crash when items melt, that seems to be linked to XP. My suggestion is to simply comment that part in BSFurnace.class so melting items no longer gives XP
I have moved all XP rewards and requirements from the unused skill to Metalworking
pine vigil
Oh shit yeah, sorry I been a bit distracted. Remind me Monday and I'll probably do it there and then.
nimble spoke
No problem, I'll remind you
@keen tangle add a line to your recipe, for example ->
SkillRequired:MetalWelding=2,
keen tangle
ok, thanks! I should probably be using something other than the crafting system to affect moodles
nimble spoke
which moodles are you changing?
keen tangle
I want to add stress/boredom/unhappiness when the item is crafted
nimble spoke
Makes sense, some crafting hobbies can be relaxing
placid delta
You can do that pretty easy just as an OnCreate lua function to the recipe and in that function you can get and alter the stats like Bordem and happiness
keen tangle
ok, awesome! I don't see it on the lua event list wiki page, but I assume that's outdated
quaint nightBOT
nimble spoke
@keen tangle You dont need an event, the recipe calls the function directly.
pine vigil
That lua event wiki list is up to date, as Soul Filcher points out, it's a property in recipe creations not a standalone lua event, hence why it's not listed there.
placid delta
is there a way I can specify the order in which lua files in a mod are loaded. or at least just load one before another certain one?
static minnow
Doesn't require "name-of-lua-here" do that?
placid delta
tried that it doesnt seem to work.
static minnow
Are you getting a severe error when you try to boot the game?
placid delta
I might nit be doing the require right
in relation to what directory do i include? do i put ".lua" on the end?
static minnow
Depends on the hierarchy of folders you have, but if it's both in the "base" level (i.e. Client > Lua file here or Server > lua file here) should just be '''require "Name of Lua File Here"'''
I'm on mobile so no clue if that code block markup worked for Discord, lol
placid delta
both files in same dir
static minnow
Should just be require "nameoflua" then.
No need for .lua at the end
I know pz loads luas alphabetically, so if all else fails you could just rename the one you want to load first something different.
placid delta
sorry there was error in the one file, causing it not to load. for some reason i thought it was a loading order thing
static minnow
Those're always the best errors, lol
placid delta
astral junco
what about the .luac file?
placid delta
@pine vigil I'm not sure if your the right person to ask but you the one online so hehe. I want to make a small edit request to IsoPlayer.class. I'm sure anyone who takes a look at it will agree it will not interfere with anything. Anyway this is the request:
// add this to IsoPlayer class
private boolean forceOverrideAnim = false;
public boolean isForceOverrideAnim()
{
return this.forceOverrideAnim
}
public void setForceOverrideAnim(boolean newForceOverrideAnim)
{
this.forceOverrideAnim = newForceOverrideAnim;
}
/*
then change line 4102 from this:
if (!overrideAnimation) {
to this:
if (!overrideAnimation) and (!isForceOverrideAnim()) {
*/
purpose is to basically disable / stop the animations being played in IsoPlayer.update()
pine vigil
I'll think about it.

odd, i made this button in a window, and its greyed out like its disabled, and doesnt work.
placid delta
anyone know why a button would be greyed out and disabled even though iv put setEnabled to true???
upper bough
post a snippet of the code
from what i remember setenabled isn't necessary, I think buttons are enabled by default
placid delta
MyCallButton = ISButton:new(50, 400, 75, 25, "Call", nil, CallButtonPressed);
MyCallButton:setVisible(true);
MyCallButton:setEnable(true);
MyCallButton:initialise();
--PVPButton.textureColor.r = 255;
self:addChild(MyCallButton)
--MyCallButton:addToUIManager();
self.HomeWindow = ISRichTextPanel:new(0, 16, 375, 455);
self.HomeWindow:initialise();
self.HomeWindow.autosetheight = false
self.HomeWindow:ignoreHeightChange()
self:addChild(self.HomeWindow)
ISCollapsableWindow.createChildren(self);
the button shows in the window which it is a child to just fine, like the ISRuchTextPanel.
but the button is slightly greyed out and un usable.
setting it to setEnabled(false) makes it even darker greyed out then it is without so its not that
my CallButtonPressed function is defined above it.
yet the button is slightly greyed out and unusable
placid delta
if i remove the "addChild" line from my button, my button appears on main screen (obviously) but it works there!
as soon as i put my button into a window it stops working.....
placid delta
I know what it is, my rich text area must be covering the button making it in clickable
upper bough
try calling self:addchild(self.MyCallButton) after self:addChild(self.HomeWindow), so it's added after the rich text area
placid delta
that'd prolly work but i'll adjust the size of my text area so its not overlapping the button
placid delta
@pine vigil do you know if LuaEventManager.triggerEvent starts another thread to run the functions added to the event? or does it just run the added functions one by one and then continue past the LuaEventManager.triggerEvent line after they are done?
i tried to check myself but my decompiler could not handle this part of the code
cursive roost
@placid delta 99% sure that triggerEvent does run in the Main thread
as evidenced by the fact that triggerend OnLoadGridSquare causes my game to hang if I do too much in there
placid delta
thats what I wanted to hear, good
pine vigil
@placid delta You here?
placid delta
yep
pine vigil
noDamage part of IsoMovingObject, that IsoGameCharacter extends.
I have moved the check of the variable to below the OnCharacterHitCharacter trigger. So set noDamage to true on the character you want to negate damage on.
placid delta
there is no set method for that
pine vigil
One second.
placid delta
and I need to know who hit who, before I decide to set noDamage or not. which is why i thought to put in the IsoGameCharacter.Hit()
pine vigil
Yes, but the hit does a check on noDamage var to see if damage should be applied AT IsoGameCharacter.Hit().
This will accomplish the same thing, it's just not bringing too much new code in.
placid delta
but its calculated before the LuaEventManger.triggerEvent(OnWeaponHitCharacter
pine vigil
"I have moved the check of the variable to below the OnCharacterHitCharacter trigger."
Should say OnWeaponHitCharacter rather.
God there's got to be a way to access a public variable in this messed up lua without any fancy stuff.
placid delta
cant set it even if its public, need a set method
pine vigil
What a ball ache.
placid delta
i found that odd too
but if i can set the MovingObject.noDamage and if the event happens before the checking of noDamage. i agree that sounds like it will work for what i need
pine vigil
Okay, it's done.
placid delta
Thanks, I look forward to it. Group vs Group pvp battles can maybe actually have survivors, instead of everyone dies

"God there's got to be a way to access a public variable in this messed up lua without any fancy stuff." Couldn't agree more

the animation override works as expected, i was able to make a player use sprinting animation while pathfinding.

good thing mine are already in then.
you could use this to make a "Run to" timed action to go along with the "Walk to" on right click timed action. would be a nice little add on to base game i suppose.

notes as in notes people wrote and left lying around?
"image" notes. okay
spawning on the floor randomly and or in certain spots ok?
yes
you can probably just use the normal item loot table or w/e its called to set spawn locations then. though it would not spawn on floor if thats all you do
just in container types you choose in rooms types you choose
like how most mods define where thier added items spawn: eg
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["gunstore"]["locker"].items, "Silencer.Silencer");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["gunstore"]["locker"].items, 10);
and you'll need to make a GUI window, to load and show your images in
and then add your Read option to inventory context menu. or a simpler way might be making recipies called "Read" which return the same result as the ingredient which call a OnCreate function that opens your GUI window
I can think of a mod that does all that stuff which you can copy as a starting point:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=709198610&searchtext=armor
that mod does all that, its got the GUI window, the item spawning, the recipies with OnCreate
if i recall correctly. it has an Examin Armor "recipe" which sets text to a window, then makes it visible. which would be almost exactly what your "Read" recipie would need
though you would be setting image, not text
nimble spoke
Making it a recipe is the cheap way out, it should really be a context menu option
The thing with using loot tables is that you can't control how many will be spawned. If you set a high enough chance all the desks will have a copy, if it isn't high enough the item may not spawn at all
If you want only one and force a spawn you should try something else
nimble spoke
no problem, let me know if you get stuck with anything

found that in ISUnequipAction.lua

@river plinth what java version?
river plinth
tried running it with openJDK 8 and openJDK 9

surprised its throwing it with 8

@river plinth Yeah but that is also used for the zombie corpses. It simply creates the item on the ground, but the generator is somehow replaced by the world object

first time modding in an item and I have some questions
the item I want to add is a cool box, so I copied the tote bag item but now I don't know how I should write the lua code in order to alter the behaviour of my new item (=> cool the items inside)
nimble spoke
That is something I'd like to know too, I have thought about making that item myself. I guess the best option is to look into the refrigerator code
quasi geode
i took a 5 minute crack at it a while back in a brief effort to fix HC's coolers but didnt have much luck and moved on...sure if someone figures it out Hydromancerx would probably be interested in knowing
short shell
checkout hydrocraft items, there is a cooler, take a peak at the code and you can se how they did it. I've never used the item, not sure if it cools, but I would also check out the refrigerator. I'm pretty sure it sounds like a simple option like refridgeratoreffictiveness = 1;
quasi geode
it doesnt work
nimble spoke
It isn't that simple because there is no functionality for cooling container items
I may try something tomorrow
quasi geode
i'm sure theres a way no matter how hackish lol...the ItemContainer class has a setCustomTemperature() method but i couldnt get it to work for cooling when i tried...that was about the extent of my effort though, didnt reall look at the java source for it at the time
kindred bear
would be nice if the barbed wire fence had a chance to scratch and have a chance to rip clothing

I think the sandbox option SandboxVars.FridgeFactor
would give some insight, but I can't look at the source 😫

next thing thats bugging me: saving the state for each cooler if it's active or not
thought about using modData for this, but I don't know which event I should use to load back up the modData if my cooler item has one

@quasi geode Quote: " yes, but I cant give the exact method, NecroForge does it for a number of its functions. Check the teleport brush code(edited)"
um sorry but im not so familliar with necro forge enough to know what the teleport bursh even means,. can you describe this function a little more for me so i can have a better idea of where to look in the code. searching for the words "teleport" and "brush" got me no where\

uh gimme a min i'll pop open NF and take a peek...the code in there can be a bit confusing due to the variable and function names (the code is pretty clean and well written otherwise though)...but in detail some of the brush functions highlight objects or tiles under the cursor...the teleport brush specifically highlights the tile under the cursor and teleports you there when you click
it looks like for IsoWorldInventoryObject its calling :setHighlightColor() and :setHighlighted(), havent found the grid squares yet though
oh i see...for IsoGridSquare its calliing :getFloor():setHighlightColor() and :setHighlighted()
easy enough 😄

pft unimpressed with that one.... why people feel the need to modify and reupload orgm is beyond me..went to great length to make sure any aspect of orgm could be customized without people needing to upload whole new versions 😐
keen tangle
How easy is it to share customized features with others without reuploading? It might just be easiest for people to do which is why they do it, even though it's a horrible and disrespectful idea
quasi geode
just need to upload a mod that overwrites various aspects...for example he's disabled empty case ejects...all he had to do was in a lua file in his mod write ORGM.Settings.CasesEnabled = false
theres a whole pile of examples of overwriting various aspects using 'patch mods' https://github.com/FWolfe/RealGunsMod/tree/master/examples
its not so much the disrespectfulness of it that annoys me, its that users will no longer get feature updates or bug fixes
and there are bugs in the current steam version that would have made it into his copy that I've already got fixed for the next upload
theres a perfect example of how easy it is..the New Dawn ORGM changes spawn settings and piles of other stuff without reuloading the whole thing
quasi geode
thats just me though...i cant stand when theres bugs in my code and users cant get fixes for them 😄
keen tangle
That's a perfectly reasonable thing to want, kudos for making it easy to customize. People will be people though or maybe he was just trying to do something quickly and didn't read the code well enough
quasi geode
Well if he had bothered to ask I would have gladly show him how..hell probably would have even written the patch changes myself for him would have only taken me a minute to do so lol

@nimble spoke Line has been removed will come out in next build, whenever that might be.
Same goes for you @placid delta
You can use avoidDamage() and setDamage(boolean) on IsoGameCharacter and it will negate the hit.
Will also be reset on hit.
Checks after the weapon swing event so should work.

Thank you. Could you also quickly just add a "get" method for HandWeapon.RunAnim

@quasi geode just curious, why not add a settings menu? might make it easier & more visible
the average steam workshop user usually doesn't read the description

because settings need to be controlled by the server for MP enviornments, not client side. I took a look at creating custom sandbox settings and trying to insert the orgm options there but it didnt seem like it was possible to define custom sandbox settings

Are most mods made with lua? Or are there any type of mods you can make with java?
quasi geode
most are done with lua, it can be done with java..the sledgehammer framework is a good example. though for the java it requires actually replacing some of the base game files instead of just using the mods folder
shy otter
Interesting, thanks. So I'm assuming the more "basic" type of mods can be made with lua. For Java, by replacing the base game files, does that mean you'd have to decompile them, rewrite it, recompile, etc?
quasi geode
Pretty much. but as for the lua, you can still do some pretty advanced stuff without resorting to hacking the java. And I'd assume the devs would frown on the whole decompile/recode and redistributing of the java aspects, but thats just a guess I can't speak for them.

i have some problem with a code on the new IWBUMS build.
A distribution code...
How to add a new Category of furniture("displaycase") to existing internalroom to spawn a item?
In basegame Distributions:
restaurant = {
counter = {
rolls = 2,
items = {
"Book", 4,
"Book", 4,
"Pen", 4,
"Pencil", 4,
"BluePen", 3,
"RedPen", 3,
"Sparklers", 3,
"Aluminum", 1,
},
},
shelves = {
rolls = 2,
items = {
"PopBottle", 2,
"Pop", 4,
"Pop2", 4,
"Pop3", 4,
"Crisps", 2,
"Crisps2", 2,
"Crisps3", 2,
"Crisps4", 2,
"WhiskeyFull", 3,
},
},
},
ModdingCode
On 38.30 this works fine:
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.restaurant, "displaycase")
SuburbsDistributions.restaurant["displaycase"] = {
rolls = 3,
items = {

},
};
Now this give me that error on console:

river plinth
any insight regarding my item problem? My cooler works, but after loading the save again the cooling effect is gone because I need some form of rechecking the container (my cooler works slightly different than the one from HC, the cooling efficiency is dependend of cool packs within the container)
onyx pasture
give example can write the "addvehicle" command with parameters?
I want to know what parameters are used in creating car
quasi geode
@river plinth I'm assuming the cooling method is being set using the 'client-side' files? I'm guessing its related to a similar issue i've noticed, calling some of the InventoryItem :set* methods losing sync between the client-side and server-side. I've called various :set methods from the server-side files when items spawn, and its good until the save is reloaded (in SP) or the player logs off & back on (in MP)
its also a issue with weapon attachments which is done entirely from the client-side files...for example if you attach a sling to a rifle, it reduces the weight..if you reload the save, the weapons weight is reset back to normal but the sling is still attached
I havent had the chance to properly investigate where the actual issue is happening (i should though, and file the bug report). ORGM solves the attachment issue by recalcuating the weight and other stats when the weapon is equipped in hand, which is kinda a hackish fix, I'd wanted to have it check containers as well to fix it, but using the LoadGridSquare event makes me cringe at the possible performance drag (parsing the grid for containers and checking inside each container)
really though I need to find exactly where that issue is and submit a proper bug report, the weapon attachment issue is quite nasty...if you pile on a bunch of attachments that modify the weight excesively, then reload the game and remove the attachments you can actually end up with weapons that have a negative weight value. 😐
river plinth
thought about the loadGridSquare too, but I too fear the performance impact and even with this, the cooling effect would only start when the container is loaded back in again
AFAIK the rotting of items is already calculated by then and would result in rotten food even if they are refridgerated in my box
quasi geode
even if it does work using the event thats really just a bandaid repairjob over something thats going wrong in the java files i suspect..either these custom properties arent getting properly saved and are getting reloaded from the original script item, or theres some desync between the client/server side..theres very few properties that actually seem to handle it properly, setDisplayName() is one, I havent had a issue with that...weight, tooltips, temperature (for clothing items), onehanded/twohanded requirements and a number of others all fail

I just saw that super survivors not only supports, but requires the vehicle build, and they work with it too.
Holy shit I can't wait to finish work tomorrow.
I wonder if there's any problems installing it mid play through, I'm in a happy place atm
quasi geode
should be fine i'd imagine, though it adds maps which are probably best done with new games
placid delta
@quasi geode ORGM legacy version seems to have the same ID as new version, thus cant enable one while disabling another
quasi geode
ya...it was done that way to not break compatability with other mods that check if 'ORGM' is loaded
placid delta
so there is no setting/option to make it go back to easy reloading on rechambered?
quasi geode
not really, easy reloading is bugged with its current implentation (not for orgm, but base game and all gun mods)
specifically, easy reloading always sets 'containsClip' to 1, even if theres no clip installed...if your playing on normal/hardcore, you can eject the magazine, switch to easy, equip the gun, go back to normal and eject another magazine
for MP servers that strictly control spawn rates this is a major problem
its also a problem for me when i get around to implementing addition magazine sizes and such...like that m249 LMG is supposed to beable to use the belts and a standard M16 mag IRL
placid delta
yes i read about the reasoning. but a setting for SP i thought might be there
quasi geode
there is a handy feature in the new version though that helps with reloading...new hotkey
find a empty magazine in your inventory and loads bullets into it
defaults to G
stark fable
cool feature, really neat
quasi geode
so dont need to actually dig through your inventory to find mags and to the whole right click > reload thing lol
placid delta
i got sick of reloading magz quite quickly
quasi geode
ya well me too...i end up having to reload like 10-15 magazines before leaving my safehouse to go on loot runs lol...the new hotkey really helps
just hit G, when its done reloading a mag hit G again and it reloads the next one XD
placid delta
how about option to make that auto find mag, auto reload thing work instantly and not as timed actions?
via manuually changing something from false to true in files, that way wont be usbale on servers MP
quasi geode
you could edit the ORGM.Settings.DefaultMagazineReoadTime to 0
actually sorry looks like it the lowest is limited to 1
but that still be almost instant lol
thats in shared/1LoadOrder/ORGMCore.lua
or you can just override it from pretty much any file really since its global
actually correction...not 'any file', it would have to occur before the magazines are registered with the core...so any file that has a name that starts with a value lower then 4 in alphabetcal order
such as 2MySettings.lua
or do something like: for k,v in pairs(ORGM.MagazineTable) do v.reloadTime = 0 end
but both those methods probably wont effect currently spawned mags since PZ records that in the ModData
I may add a simpler method later for those who perfer easy reloading but i'm not going to be pushing any updates for a little while...last one really changed the dynamics of how firearms work so i'm going to wait to see how it sits with the majory of users before the next updates so i know what areas to change XD

stark fable
quasi geode
too bad the pathfinding doesnt work in the stable version i cant properly test it out 😐
placid delta
i could change it to use getPath instead if getPath2 / setPath2 does not exist. But i think there will likely be other incompatibilities
pathFindBehavior2 accounts for cars, while the other does not
quasi geode
its probably better to stick to the new pathfinding, I can always manually change it, pretty damn simple to use a find and replace in all files
stark fable
would be good if you force them to stay at their "improvised" safe-houses, if they get out of food. And maybe they should take all the food from the houses, throw it at the safe-house containes and so go on.
So its no more 300kg of food on your base, only because it was in nearest houses.
placid delta
i dont really understand. you talking about the random survivors? or people in group?
stark fable
random ofc
placid delta
they do stay in there though
stark fable
they already have safe place, but leave it even if out offood.. Yeah?
placid delta
yes
@pine vigil can you look into the possibility of having "Walk to" pathfinding avoid fireplaces, so you don't walk through a fire just to do something or grab something via right click menu

Why do some mods not support version checking?
quasi geode
checking of pz version or the mod version?

Mod version

- sometimes its not needed, 2) some assume the workshop will handle that stuff seamlessly, 3) most modders arent actually coders or software devs...the list of reasons is actually pretty big lol
terse flame
It would make it easier for people to find errors
placid delta
i could do it, but id rather spend my time working on more features for the "soon to be public" build
quasi geode
orgm has a pretty robust version checking system in place...in truth i probably went overboard with it lol
but as nolan said sometimes it just takes time away from more imporant things, expecially when the mod is still fairly new or beta
terse flame
All good it just makes it easier to be a responsible mod user
placid delta
and when your coding something mainly for the fun of it (as i assume that is the reason most modders make mods) your likely to skip or not put much effort into the boring parts like support , as compared to when your working for a real job/client

@quasi geode Do you know if modding in custom/new moodlets is possible?
quasi geode
the moodle system is hardcoded in java, such as the types etc. BUT realistically it could be faked in lua if your sneaky about it
but really the new ones wouldnt be accessed using the normal methods and API calls, you'd have to design a whole new system...so it is possible but could be a real pain
really depends on how comfortable you are with lua and if you really to do that much pissing around for them XD
spark crystal
hmm
Yeah, I was hoping to be able to hook in to existing moodlets etc too
When you say fake it - to what extent do you mean?
Making like a whole 'custom' moodle system, that attempts to copy the UI/behaviour of the current one?
Was hoping for moodlets with progressing stages, the shaking when they are active/changed, all that stuff.
quasi geode
you can access the moodles classes api but alot of the effects are hardcoded, and the different moodle types are listed in a enum so cant really add new ones with the api
spark crystal
I see
quasi geode
depending on what the new ones are attempting to do it would be alot of hooking events...the drawing of the icons and the state changes (shaking etc) are java side so you'd have to simulate it
spark crystal
that in particular was the part I was hoping could be done without simulating it.
spark crystal
That's alright, I could still pull off what I want to do, but just have it in some basic UI, I think.
From the sounds of it, I can hook in to variables like the players heat, clothes clean/bloody state, movement speed, surroundings, etc.
quasi geode
sure
spark crystal
With a context menu item on the player, to display this window, which would track a 'state' (the moodlet) and the associated values.
Or even a side menu option, similar to the spray paint mod.
quasi geode
personally i dont like coding the UI stuff I find PZ's system is a pain....but i dont like coding UI's anyways lol...most of the code i write is backend systems, frameworks and command line tools....stuff without any sort of UI lol
spark crystal
Ditto.
I've not coded in LUA before, personally.
I don't think I'll find it too difficult. From all accounts I've heard, it's like the 'laymans version' of languages.
quasi geode
whats your main language(s)?
spark crystal
C# is most preferred.
quasi geode
lua is pretty simple stuff, it took me 2h to learn all the keywords, syntax and built in modules
spark crystal
Also do some work in Java/JS/HTML/CSS/ASPX, etc. Mostly web based languages.
I'm gonna have a go at it tonight when I get home from work.
Are there any tools or guides , IDE's/plugins etc you can personally recommend?
quasi geode
there are some tricky points when your coming from other languages...concepts that are weird to get used to, but its all really simple
ah most of the time I just use notepad++ for it...if its something more serious then ZeroBrane is a good lua IDE
most of my background is perl (10+ years doing only perl), lots of python, lua, some C++ but i dont like that one lol
spark crystal
Not a fan of c++ either 😛
quasi geode
over 10 years of perl warped my mind...i've never fully recovered 😐
spark crystal
how about for PZ specifically? Any helpful documentation etc that you frequently reference?
I notice information is either very sparse, or very dated, or both.
quasi geode
uh well theres the online java docs...alot of the classes and methods are exposed to lua, but they are very outdated
honestly your best bet is to use JD-GUI or something similar and actually take a look at the current source code
besides being dated, the info in the online docs is really sparse
you'll just get class and method names, the arguments (and types) and return values
spark crystal
That'd be pretty good, to have a poke around in the source. good way to understand the inner happenings.
quasi geode
no actual info on what the methods are supposed to do
spark crystal
I've not used JD-GUI or anything similar before
And I'm not even that well versed in actual full java programs.
But with these tools, is it possible to modify those files, even if for personal use only?
For example, adding those moodlets in I mentioned before, and compiling it and seeing them in game?
quasi geode
JD-GUI isnt really a IDE, more like a decompiler and code viewer
you've have to use something else to actually recompile
eclipse maybe...idk really i avoid java like the plague
spark crystal
Likewise 😂
Eclipse is what I've used before, but from the sounds of it, it would be possible.
Not much point, really, but good to know these limits/abilities etc.
And this will surely be helpful for understanding how the code works, when working with the LUA.
quasi geode
ya
i dont even really like having java installed but i went ahead and did it so i could run JD-GUI because i got sick of looking at the outdated java docs online lol
its been pretty damn helpful in the long run though
spark crystal
Would you be down for a little light mentoring in helping me get on my feet with modding?
I (hope/think) should be able to find my way for the most part, Just wondering if you could set me some random sort of "task" - like right click X object, see if Y is in inventory, make survivor say Z -and evaluate how I've done said task
I dont mind if that's something you'd rather not do / have time for.
quasi geode
well i never mind giving advice or help...the random collection of tutorials i've created on the forums shows that....thinking of tasks though is probably not my area XD

i'm also not the most experienced modder around, technically i'm still fairly newish (under a year with pz's code), but i do know lua pretty well...around 7 years working with it on and off (its not my main)

@quasi geode how can I check if a ORGM gun is fully automatic or not?
quasi geode
local data = ORGM.getFirearmData(itemType);
if data.selectFire is 0, its a select fire gun, in semi auto mode
if data.selectFIre is 1, its in full auto
also some arent always select fire.....data.alwaysFullAuto will be true or nil/false
er sorry....if you want a guns current select fire state, check the items ModData
but you'll want to check that ORGM.getFirearmData(itemType).alwaysFullAuto....thats not copied to mod data
select fire guns are usually full auto by default, so unless you've changed it can just use the same data returned by the function instead of the mod data
probably safer to check mod data at any rate
i probably should just code in a isFullAuto function that checks both
if item:getModData().selectFire == 1 or ORGM.getFirearmData(item:getType()).alwaysFullAuto then ..... end
there lol sorry i'm bit off my game today kinda distracted XD
placid delta
i dont really care if its set to full auto or not, just want to check if its "Capable" of full auto
quasi geode
ah ya ok then....local data = ORGM.getFirearmData(item:getType()); if data.selectFire or data.alwaysFullAuto then ..... end
that should do it
placid delta
all right. survivors shooting in full auto is fun

quasi geode
lol
quasi geode
hows the new damage ratio working out with the survivors?
i tweaked it more for the zombies requiring headshots, but the whole damage calculation vs Z's and vs IsoPlayers is completely different
so the survivors are probably taking a few more hits then they should
i did some brief testing with the old survivors mod probably not enough though
placid delta
i dont really notice any difference
quasi geode
all the guns that are select fire capable generally default to full btw...i didnt set any of them to default in semi mode

(I lost my wife last night. I was looting a Diner, and left the keys in the ignition of my car, Zombies surrounded it because of the noise, I tried to round them off / spread them out / etc, so I could get back to the car. Wife was lost in the process)
_A moment of silence for wife. 🙏 _
@placid delta I noticed one thing with survivors last night - I think it was in one of the tooltips for a command - but it said his or him or something like that.
Very minor thing, but suggest changing to they or their etc - as I'm quite sure my wife was female 😂
quasi geode
if the car was running, and she wasnt smart enough to drive off, your better off without her lol
placid delta
women dont know how to drive for real. only back seat driving
quasi geode
lol
quasi geode
mostly, the patch still needs some work, but i cant give the new survivors mod a proper test run so its kinda a pain for me atm to finish it
better i just leave it in a half finished and working state for now then keep working and have bugged patch lol
but if nolan's asking about how to check if something is full auto then he must be up to something XD
placid delta
@Richard Nixon#1273 if you set infinite ammo option On, then yes you can use cars build orgm and (super) survivors right now, and the will get in the cars when following u yes .
quasi geode
theres a command to give them ammo right? but its just not setup to give them orgm ammo?
or they dont loot it?
sry i havent poked around the code for the latest builds of the mods i got pretty distracted hammering out this whole orgm dynamic stats system
placid delta
There was an error or something when they equipped gun or ammo or something
quasi geode
hrm
placid delta
After they grabbed ammo and re equipped gun actually
I forget exactly but didn't I send u pm with the details while back?
quasi geode
damnit i might have to swap those pathfinding methods then to test
dont think so...i'll relook in our convo though
oh
But now when my survivors re-equip orgm guns they say this:
player:Say("Resetting this weapon to defaults due to ORGM changes. Ammo returned to inventory.")
And their ammo disappears from their persons.
placid delta
U dot have access to iwbums build?
quasi geode
no i got PZ through GOG
thats odd though they should only be saying that when the gun has actually changed, IE after a update...and the ammo should go to inventory
placid delta
So did I but I got a steam key converted free , there is some process for that. Was a while back tho
quasi geode
i tested that updating functions pretty heavy with the old survivors mod
and it was all good
placid delta
I'll try again sometime, maybe other bugs since fixed contributed to that result
quasi geode
also I had to change line 80 of ORGMClientFunctions to:
if(item:getContainer() ~= nil) then item:getContainer():setDrawDirty(true) end
because it was throwing error due to item:getContainer() being nil
you mentioned that as well...if that was throwing the error, and the container is nil that might have resulted in the loss of the ammo
i did tweak a few things on the updating function, i dont think i gave it a good testing again with the old survivors mod I probably should though
but i donno why they'd be triggering the update function in the first place when equipping...that really should only happen after some orgm updates where i've changed stats on that gun type
it may not trigger at all now though...that on equip event goes through a: if not player:isLocalPlayer() then return end
idk if that will return true with the survivors i havent checked
placid delta
The survivors are not "LocalPlayers" so it would be false
quasi geode
ya ok that should ignore the whole updating and unloading of the gun then
kinda a shame means survivors wont have the stat set if i do something like change magazine size or caliber on a specific gun...which may lead to other bugs later but thats pretty damn rare i make those changes
it should work as a good temp fix then...i'll find a more robust solution later
still wonder why it wasnt fetching the container for them...that kinda annoying
but if isLocalPlayer will return false then the patch should be working without the unlimited ammo now (i hope)
placid delta
I've had problem with item:getContainer being nil often, no idea why
I'll try it without infinit ammo again tomorrow
quasi geode
hrm...i may have to set it back to the old method of passing the container for player:getInventory()...which is what it used to do til i noticed there was a item:getContainer() lol
figured i'd save myself passing that extra argument to the function XD
as for converting the whole GOG into a steam key...as much as i cant wait to try out the vehicles branch of things, I'd really rather keep the GOG I'm not really a fan of steam
rather help support gog then valve which is why i got it there instead
plus this way we get to run one of the only 24/7 gog pz servers...theres only 2 of them and the other one is plain vanilla 😄

I wonder. Would it be possible for someone to make a distinctive clothing mod?
To where shirts don't all look the same.
quasi geode
best wait til after the animations are in for that stuff
drifting ore
Yeah. But would it be possible?
Cuz animations ETA is about what. Two years or sooner?
quasi geode
from my understanding, no not really...but i havent actually investigated myself
spark crystal
I don't think you'd be waiting that long.
drifting ore
What do you think on the ETA?
spark crystal
September-November for IWBUMS. Possibly earlier.
That's my personal guess, I don't know anything other than what goes into the mondoids etc.
drifting ore
Wasn't the first time they showed animations two years ago?
quasi geode
devs wont put a ETA on it...if was coding it i woudnt put a ETA on it either, sure not going to try and guess on one for them lol
drifting ore
Yeah
I've only taken up PZ fairly recently. Since last year November or so. I heard the devs are notoriously slow
quasi geode
pointless guessing, no idea how far along they are, or how many speedbumps they'll hit along the way to finishing
spark crystal
Absolutely, there will be no ETA, which is fair enough, I think.
I'm just saying that timeframe as a gamble/gut feel. Speculation in every sense of the word.
quasi geode
they get alot of flak for being slow...i respect them a hell of a lot more for taking time and doing it the way they want, then rushing out some half assed job just to make people happy
drifting ore
Indeed. From what I've seen is they make quality content
spark crystal
absolutely.
placid delta
@quasi geode how can I get the amount of rounds in a box or can ?
quasi geode
uh its kinda a pain still, but i been adding more helper functions for it, still need to add more...... ORGM.getAmmoData(ORGM.getAmmoTypeForBox(item)).BoxCount
or .CanCount
the getAmmoTypeForBox() function accepts both cans and boxes, a InventoryItem or the string itemType name
that only works in the latest version though 3.07
there is also ORGM.unboxAmmoItem(item)
placid delta
is item there obj or type
drifting ore
hmmmmmmm, will the devs make radios play audio of some old songs someday?
quasi geode
which should remove the box from item:getContainer() and add the appropriate ammo type
its both...it accepts objects and strings
oh for that last one unboxAmmoItem, thats just a obj
quasi geode
that accepts either
placid delta
which one would technically be quicker
quasi geode
any of the getFirearmData(), isFirearm(), getMagazineData(), isMagazine() etc will accept both types
well, from a technical standpoint, passing a object is more secure, it performs module validation as well, the string is probably faster
if you already have the string anyways
if its a object then it does a item:getType() internally
if you dont already have the string name then its probably better to pass the object
because as i said it performs a check on the module as well
not normally a problem unless some other mod has named items the same
most of the time in the code i try and pass objects to help unsure it doesnt identify a wrong object as being something it isnt
though stringwise you can use stuff like getAmmoData(itemType, moduleName) for the stricter checking
placid delta
hmm ORGM.getAmmoData(ammoBoxObj).BoxCount did not work getAmmoData returned nil
quasi geode
you have to use ORGM.getAmmoTypeForBox(item) to the the name to pas to getAmmoData
quasi geode
getAmmoData() takes a obj or a string name such as Ammo_9x19mm_FMJ.....getAmmoTypeForBox() taks a obj or string name such as Ammo_9x19mm_FMJ_Box
bascially you need to chop the _Box off the end of the string, which is what getAmmoTypeForBox does
placid delta
i fed getAmmoData("Ammo_223Remington_FMJ_Box") and it returned nil
quasi geode
ya it would...getAmmoData would be expecting "Ammo_223Remington_FMJ" without the _Box at the end
placid delta
oh remove the _Box
quasi geode
ORGM.getAmmoData(ORGM.getAmmoTypeForBox("Ammo_223Remington_FMJ_Box")).BoxCount
placid delta
ok thats working
last thing is,
right now they do like 5 round bursts and it only costs them 1 bullet magically
quasi geode
uh well that shouldnt be...they arent doing anything the player doesnt do really
placid delta
no its something i did
quasi geode
and it sure doesnt do that when i fire lol....too bad would have saved alot of ammo XD
placid delta
they dont use the normal reloading system
quasi geode
ya i know...the patch that comes with orgm waits until they're empty on ammo then does the reloading
the reload system is kinda different for orgm then the vanilla system when dealing with survivors
- not all guns have chambers, setting modData.roundChambered is not a good idea
placid delta
ok fixed. looks like its all ORGM compatible. though they go through ammo on auto like MAD
quasi geode
- it needs to keep track of what kind of round is actually in the chamber, plus what kind of round is in every spot in the magazine
yep full auto is a huge ammo waste XD
i rarely use it, but it does have advantages
theres less hit chance penalty firing when moving, though hit chance is lowered overall
its good to switch if you have to fire and move because of some Z getting to close, but then i go back to semi auto right after
i dont like wasting all that ammo on full auto fire with lowered hit chances if i can help it lol
full auto is insanely wasteful though...take the glock18 for example, IRL it cycles at 1200 rounds per minute, thats 20 rounds per second, if your using a 17 round mag from a glock17....then its gone in under a second
it game its a bit slower just so the engine doesnt crap out lol
but its still damn fast compared to semi mode
queen swan
Hi I'm new here. I read a few messages ago about JD-GUI. I downloaded/installed it and just looked at one of the .class files. I forgot how java is similar to C#. Anyways, which files should I look at for modding?
quasi geode
thats kinda a vague question....'which file' is going to depend on what your trying to do
queen swan
Just curious how about modding works. I'm not going to do one myself.
quasi geode
if your looking for a list of functions and classes that are exposed to lua, check the zomboid/Lua/LuaManager$Exposer.class and zomboid/Lua/LuaManager$GlobalObject.class
queen swan
Ok let me put it this way, which classes do modders have access to?
Ah you answered me just as I typed it.
quasi geode
XD
queen swan
Thanks for the info!
quasi geode
np lol...that seemed the most obvious answer to the unasked question...beyond that its just following the trail
though i gotta say thats probably some pretty heavy research if your not actually planning to do one
placid delta
@quasi geode how can i set a mag to have full rounds in it?
quasi geode
local data = item:getModData()
data.currentCapacity = data.maxCapacity
for i=1, data.maxCapacity do
data.magazineData[i] = ammoType
end
data.loadedAmmo = ammoType
that will work for guns or mags
placid delta
thanks. im adding a "Ready for Battle mode" where you spawn already with some loaded mags, weapon equipped. and full body armor already equipped. pair that with enableing hoards of raiders and fun begins
quasi geode
lol
btw you may want to add a scrollbar to the survivor options screen or redo the layout...doesnt all fit on my laptop screen XD
placid delta
ill take the lazy fix and compact it more
did you get your hands on vehcile build somehow?
quasi geode
ya i figured...i'd take the lazy route too
nope i was investigating with the stable earlier
quasi geode
ORGM.Uzi is still valid, if it said 'Obsolete firearm detected' then its trying to run the update functions...the modData.BUILD_ID variable is nil or lower then ORGM.getFirearmData("Uzi").lastChanged
if your giving guns to survivors in the code, make sure you call ORGM.setupGun(ORGM.getFirearmData(item), item) on the weapon
its basically like using ReloadUtil:setupGun() but doesnt actually use the reloadable class, ensures all modData is properly setup, and sets the BUILD_ID to match the current orgm version
placid delta
this okay?:
local gun = player:getInventory():AddItem("ORGM.Mac11")
ORGM.setupGun(ORGM.getFirearmData(gun), gun)
player:setPrimaryHandItem(gun);
or should it be called before going into inventory?
quasi geode
ya that should do it
wont matter if its before or after inventory just as long as its before equipping
placid delta
i have to do it for mags too?
for i=1, 5 do
local mag = player:getInventory():AddItem("ORGM.Mac11Mag");
local data = mag:getModData()
data.currentCapacity = data.maxCapacity
for i=1, data.maxCapacity do
data.magazineData[i] = ammoType
end
data.loadedAmmo = ammoType
end
data.maxCapacity as the for limit is being nil for some reason
quasi geode
if your going to be automatically filling up mags like that, ya you'll have to do it for mags too
ORGM.setupMagazine(ORGM.getMagazineData(item), item)
its not normally needed to do it with mags, but the mod data wont be properly setup until the player goes to reload them...if your going to script it then its got to be called
cloud bridge
gotta refresh that data
quasi geode
ya PZ tends to to setup the mod data for mags and guns until it actually needs to...which is why if you look at a freshly spawned vanilla magazine, the current and max capacity doesnt show in the tool tips
cloud bridge
ah ha
good to know
I've never touched the PZ code yet, other than 3-4 years ago when me and a friend decompiled the source to peek at it
decompile/deobf iirc
cloud bridge
Yeah, the lua stuff wasn't exposed at this point, so it may have been even longer ago
Plus I like looking at the actual code, made a branch of the MCP tools for PZ. That was fun

I feel like at some point, we're going to return to it. It's just people have been preoccupied with other things.
But I'm not certain.
stark fable
If this game is really about "scavenging", not crafting stuff from stuff like in minecraft, you should really nerf carpentr somehow. Make it harder to saw logs? I don't know.
placid delta
i would agree its low priority, since i didnt even notice it was discontinued
too bad you don't have a dev to solely work on this kind of simple content kind of stuff.
quasi geode
ah nolan you should know...the minute a dev starts to work on it, its no longer 'simple' content 😄
we all tend to go over board tweaking and perfecting the things we work on...and rightly so...its in our nature....it devs didnt then the stuff they do become substandard
placid delta
Simple by comparison to the other stuff
@quasi geode yeah smg seem to suck compared to what I recall
What is best low rand full auto weapon ? There gotta be something ?
Low rang*
quasi geode
expecially in full auto now...the base hit chance is actually better then it used to be, but theres now a penalty when switching to full auto, and the penalty is effected by recoil delay...since there really is no recoil delay in full auto mode, that gets shifted over to the hit chance drop
uh well thats kinda a tough call...any of the lower caliber rifles would be better, but really not by much
the lighter the weapon and higher caliber, the more recoil its going to produce: ie more penalty in full auto
its hard to give exact numbers, since the stats are calculated dynamically...even things like adding a tactical light or scope increase the weight, effecting recoil
placid delta
can u equip an smg in both hands to increase hit chance?
quasi geode
not yet, i need to piss around with that still...the whole dynamic stats and way full auto is handled was just added in the last update
part of the problem with the onehanded/twohanded optional weapons was the way the java calculates damage...its reduced if a weapon can be used two handed but is only being used in one....if i recall right from looking at the files it doesnt check if its melee only
damnit lol msg didnt send kept having to hit retry
placid delta
When you get around to it, strong trait should have lessened penalty for using smg one hand,
quasi geode
well the whole calculation doesnt really bother to factor in if its one handed or two atm, the base hit chance before aiming skill and other factors is 40 for rifles/pistols/revolvers, 30 for smg's and 60 for shotguns
+7 per level...sighting attachments can make a big difference
the smg's have a lower base hit chance then the rifles, but a higher 'aimtime' which means they get better chances to hit while moving
if your really curious about the numbers of any weapon, set ORGM.Settings.Debug = true....when you hit 'U' to bring up the inspection window, theres a extra tab there showing exact numbers for everything
can watch hitchances and all that change while you switch firemodes, move around etc
placid delta
Btw that u hot key for that window, could I change it, it's conflicting with my survivors hot key to view party.
Not that I called dibs on that hot key or anything but yeah
quasi geode
eh its in the pz options keybinding screen...i probably wont be changing it in the mod...probably wont be releasing any updates any time soon anyways...still trying to get a feel for how the last major update is going over with people
having conflicting keys is bound to happen with mods, but they're easy enough to rebind
orgm's also using G and Z
i think i noticed G being used on the survivors mod too....i didnt check Z
but like i said...easy enough to rebind in the options XD
but ya i wont be updating steam for a bit....dont really like hassling OrMntMan to push updates unless I have to, since he abandoned the project due to RL stuff I don't really like forcing him back into it with updating and crap. we tried to setup khaos so he could do the uploading instead but apparently steam only lets the original author push updates 😐
actually i should correct that, by default orgm has bindings on U,G, Z, 4, 5 and 6
placid delta
I suppose, its not like i have some sort of claim on certain hot keys. good hot keys are too few
quasi geode
i suspect between the 2 of us and the base game keys we're going to need larger keyboards anyway LOL
long as they're easy to configure and not hardcoded it shouldnt be a problem
plus people that have already loaded both mod will already have the hotkeys set in the config files...changing the defaults arent really gonna do much at this point
spark crystal
Is it possible to use modifiers?
shift+u etc
quasi geode
nope...it doesnt seem to let you when assigning hotkeys in the options screen....i mean you could if you hardcoded but otherwise nope
i wanted to use shift R and shift T for the reload and inspection window
nimble spoke
Does anyone know if we can set an item's icon? I know moveables receive their icons on the fly when you pick up a furniture, is something similar possible for the other items?
quasi geode
if i recall right items themselves dont have any sort of get/setIcon method, but the script item objects do
placid delta
Pretty sure you can set the image / icon. I was doing that with car mod
It effects the icon and world item image.
quasi geode
hrm right i guess the car mod would have had to change it somehow
placid delta
InventoryItem:setTexture i think
quasi geode
ya thats a valid method
yep looks like that what you were using in the DriveCars mod
nimble spoke
Interesting, I will try that, thank you
quasi geode
still have that one installed lol
nimble spoke
lol, what will happen to it? Will you just delete it Nolan?
quasi geode
too late lol
placid delta
Pure results driven coding at its finest
quasi geode
i have this horrible issue....i cant help but look at code...its a real problem 😐
thats the whole reason i got stuck with orgm...i made the mistake of looking at the code....
did you ever look at the old ORGMDistrubitions.lua nolan? 😓
placid delta
I thought orgm had its own item spawning thing and didn't use the base distributions table?
quasi geode
oh it does
placid delta
Yes I recall thinking at one point, damn this is confusing
I went in there just to see if there was a way way to increasw@spawning amount
quasi geode
ya i saw that and thought....no...just no....must fix this....
lucky for me though (or unlucky maybe) thats not the worst code i've had to fix over the years....not by far
placid delta
So is there now a way option to increase ammo and or weapon spawn rate?
quasi geode
sure...besides obeying sandbox loot settings, theres multipliers that can be used in the ORGM.Settings table
placid delta
So increasing he "Normal" item type loot rarity sandbox setting will effect orgm ammo then u say?
quasi geode
for ammo it uses Weapon loot rarity, but in the Settings table theres finer control as well: FirearmSpawnModifier, AmmoSpawnModifier, MagazineSpawnModifier, RepairKitSpawnModifier, ComponentSpawnModifier, CorpseSpawnModifier, CivilianBuildingSpawnModifier, PoliceStorageSpawnModifier, GunStoreSpawnModifier, StorageUnitSpawnModifier, GarageSpawnModifier, HuntingSpawnModifier... and for the types of weapons theres also CivilianFirearmSpawnModifier, PoliceFirearmSpawnModifier, and MilitaryFirearmSpawnModifier
in other words you can pretty much control spawning however you damn well feel like lol
placid delta
So they all default to 1.0 I take it? And a 2.0 would be double ?
quasi geode
yep
placid delta
Ok, I'll try a Texas mode, where everyone and there dogs got guns
Just like it should be.
Ain't no government gonna oppress us!
quasi geode
what we've got going on our server atm is loot rarity set to rare, but the ammo spawn multiplier is set 1.5 or 2.0 idr...so guns are still rare but ammo a bit more common then it would be at rare settings
should take a look at shared/1LoadOrder/ORGMCore.lua, all the settings and stuff are in there, with comment as to what they're for
no functions thats just the initial tables definitions in that file
drifting ore
Here is an idea I just posted to the forums. Figured you might like it! (If this is not a channel for requests, I'll delete this, no problem :))
Last week, I came across a comic series called Crossed. It's about a pandemic that causes people to act on the most despicable instincts, rape and murder being a few. They are capable of thinking and intelligent planning. They will carry out suicide attacks or self-harm to get their satisfaction. They spread the infection by lacing their weapons or bullets with the infection, or by biting. Infection takes at most a few hours, and at least a few minutes.
If it's possible, something like this in Project Zomboid as a mod would be really cool.
With NPCs and Vehicles in the eventual mix, Crossed would be able to carry out suicide attacks with vehicles of all shapes and sizes, and NPCs would be able to contract the infection. When you contract the infection, the time between contracting it and turning will vary. When you turn, you won't die, but will become Crossed.
Crossed are able to use weapons, including firearms and handheld explosives like grenades and landmines, and can set traps for survivors.
If you want to read more about how the Crossed generally act, here is the first issue. It is a great story, though edgy (but I guess that's supposed to be the point).
Of course, seeing as how the Crossed use weapons, this would probably not be feasible for the game as it stands until NPCs make it in, or unless it's based off Super Survivors' NPCs. But it'd be a cool idea if feasible, period.
stark fable
What do you mean by "edgy"?
drifting ore
@stark fable Some people say that this comic series is edgy because it's extremely disturbing with what is portrayed. You have people getting raped, children getting hacked to pieces, heads being lobbed off, and the darkest of humanity being shown for the sake of it, but at the same time, it shows what the Crossed just do.
It's edgy in a way that makes sense and isn't just "edgy for the sake of being edgy."
At least, I've seen people call it edgy. 😛
drifting ore
Ye. lol
stark fable
Edgy is when a teen talking about suicide, murder, rapes and how amoral he is
not when its shows in the right place
drifting ore
@stark fable True.

@placid delta in SS - if I have a survivor following me with a gun and ammo - will they automatically shoot at any hostile surviors/raiders?
Some hostile survivor had a full auto weapon and shot me dead from off screen last night before I knew what was happening
placid delta
yes
if he is HOLDING mele, but has a gun too. he will switch to gun if he sees the hostile before he gets too close.
spark crystal
👍 thanks.
also, could you clarify on the 'Food Storage Area' etc - what do survivors use this for?
Is it the areas where they will search for food when they are hungry?
I have not noticed them depositing or dropping food into an area.
(also - do they just drop in area, or will they use available storage?)
placid delta
The only thing food storage area is used for right now is, where they drop stuff after foraging
spark crystal
Okay
in that case - if I tell a survivor to go searching for food, or loot a room for food- how can I access his inventory to get it?
spark crystal
thanks 😃
I notice with the barricade cmmand - they are are to infinitely barricade windows, without having any planks
Any plans to change this?
placid delta
Yes, but probably will only require survivors in your own group to actually go and find and pick up planks. The random spawn wild ones I think I'll leave it this way so they have better survivabilty
