#

ohhhh, and what exactly does that mean? a texture value from where?

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

its a zomboid.core.textures.Texture object

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

Nolan suggested this method I thought I'd be able to simply swap the item's texture with another. Ok then

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

if you call result:getTexture(), it wont return a string either

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

what does it return? I never used these methods

#

ok, simpler question, can I use it to swap the texture with one I created?

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

returns a zomboid.core.textures.Texture object...same thing :setTexture() expects

#

probably, but I'm still waking up havent had enough coffee yet to go poking through the files to find all the right function calls 😄

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

hah, no problem, thank you. That's the only method that seemed useful

#

I checked the list for... isoinventoryitem or something like that

#

Time to check jdgui again.....

#

Could I give an item that isn't food a rotten texture then somehow force that item to use it? isoinventoryitem allows for rotten and burnt textures

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

Ok, I tried forcing a rotten texture that I made, it doesn't throw an error but the item has no icon

#

Fuck Yes, I made it work. Texture.class has a getTexture(string)

#

Thank you @quasi geode

#

Weird thing though, after leaving the game and then loading it the item has the standard icon

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

oh cool...glad its working, i didnt really do much though LOL

#

if its reverting back to normal after a load, then its probably reading the original texture from the script item (maybe?)

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

I guess I'd have to create a function to solve that on load then?

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

i'd assume so, though it may make more sense to just create another script item and swap the items in the recipe, idk...not really sure what your up to there lol

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

That would be a way to fix it, but it is for the blacksmith mod, and many items are used in recipes and all that, I think it would be too much work to fix their uses in recipes and things like that

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

ah ya ok then you'd have to double up on the recipes and other crap

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

yeah, override a whole lot of stuff I don't want to

#

How could I check that later upon loading? Mod data?

#

Is there another way?

quasi geode May 23, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

probably use mod data i guess..when you change the texture, set a flag in the mod data so you can check

nimble spoke May 23, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

I guess one of you guys probably have a similar function to check a save's items somewhere so that I can take a look

There has been a new Mod Published!

chinese

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

so I created a local modData = {}, and then I try to item:toModData(modData) but it says I tried to call nil

#

I'm missing something here

placid delta May 24, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

Are you sure there is a inventoryItem.toModData method ? I don't recall ever seeing that

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:00 PM

#

it was probably the effect of trying to do it late last night

#

how can I give an item mod data?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

I don't really understand your question.

#

Moddata is just a table of values

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

yes, but again probably because I tried it all late night I got it all wrong in my head and now I need to undo that damage

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

Items moddata usually set with getModData()

#

It saves automatically on item unloads and re loads

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

it all started because giving an item a new icon doesnt get saved and then loaded

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

Ah right

#

What you could try is

#

Save the texture name to the items moddata when you change the texture

#

And then add function to onloadgridsquare

#

Which will check square for all items in container or on ground . Check the moddata for the texture name, and if found, set the texture right there when that square is loaded

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

yeah, that's what I'm trying, so item:getModData()["varname'] = "mytexture" should do it, right?

#

nothing else needed?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

id make a function for your texture setting:

#

function MySetTexture(itemObj,textureName) local texture = getTexture(textureName) itemObj:setTexture(texture) itemObj:getModData().MyTextureName = textureName end

#

it doesnt matter what you call your var in the moddata table, as liong as you check for the same var name in your OnLoadGridSquare function

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:13 PM

#

ok, I was trying onGameStart and onConnected, but I guess OnLoadGridSquare would cover all chances of that item being loaded again

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

function MyOnGridSquareLoad(square) --check for container objects local objs = square:getObjects() for i=1, objs:size() do if(objs:get(i):getContainer() ~= nil) then local items = objs:get(i):getContainer():getItems() for q=1, items:size()-1 do if(items:get(q):getModData().MyTextureName ~= nil) then items:get(q):setTexture(getTexture(items:get(q):getModData().MyTextureName)) end end end end --check for world inventory objects local worldObjs = square:getWorldObjects() for i=1, worldObjs:size() do local item = worldObjects:get(i):getItem() if(item:getModData().MyTextureName ~= nil) then item:setTexture(getTexture(item:getModData().MyTextureName)) end end end Events.OnLoadGridSquare.Add(MyOnGridSquareLoad)

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

Ok, does it check in container items inside containers/player inventory?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

no you would need another function to tie to like the gamestart event

#

which loops through inventory items

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

ok, thank you

placid delta May 24, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

you would actually need like a reoccuring loop to also loop through containers within containers

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

something like if instanceof(items:get(q), container) then.... a function to go through the items in there, right?

#

my gamestart check is working, loadgridsquare isn't and checking inside the bag isn't

placid delta May 24, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

i made something called item time tracker for HC which is almost exactly what you need, except its tied to the every10minutes event is the only difference between that and what you need. look in the HC files for something called ItemTimeTracker.lua or something like that. its pretty much exactly what you need

#

another difference between that and what you need is that the itemtimetracker thing handles every square in the cell.

#

but you only need to handle 1 square at a time in the ongrdisquareload event

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

ok, I'll check that, thanks

#

I have the starting player and his bags working already

#

how can I check for the last playerthat connected?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

oh your trying to make it work MP? yikes

#

first you should check if, setting a texture client side, then drop said item and see if other players see the new texutre or the old.

#

if they dont see the new texutre, you have a fair bit of work to do with OnCLientCommand and OnServerCOmmand events

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

ok

#

so these things don't work in MP for hydro?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

they do, but the item time tracker thing does not set texrures, it just removes items and replaces them with other items

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

of course, do you know of any mod setting textures like this?

placid delta May 24, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

not one that requires the item witj set texture to stay with that texture on unload loads

#

depending on why you want to change the textures, you could just make new items for each texture, then you could pretty much use the entire item time tracker code

#

and would not need to worry about re-loading items not having new textures

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

yeah, but I don't want to spam new items and then have to worry about them working in recipes

#

that's why I'm trying it

placid delta May 24, 2018, 4:20 PM

#

how many recipies do you need? cuz not using recipies, but just making item context menus is an option to consider

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

I'm using it for the blacksmith mod with TIS' original code, so players can forge several base items, and these are used in so many different recipes, not to mention other mods, that I don't really want to mess with that

#

the idea was to give forged items different icons, possibly bad quality/good quality

#

I straight out copied the code from Hydro and it still doesn't update items on the ground or inside containers

placid delta May 24, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

well a straight out copy wont work, though you can use 90% of it you still need to fit it into what your doing

#

you see the functions in it, like HandleContainer() someting rather,

#

i have no way to look at it from my work computer here

#

but like i said, if setting texture client side, then dropping item, if that new texture does not show for other players online. your gonna have a very messy and complicated solution

#

might be better for you to ask COnnal to add a event hook into the IventoryItem.load() function. if you had that, you could do the whole thing in like 3 lines of code

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

for now I'll be glad if I can make it work in SP first, and worry about MP later

#

or maybe that event hook, lol

placid delta May 24, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

not a good idea, bc the solution you find for SP. may not even have a way to get it to work on MP, making it work on MP may require a totaly dif method. then you just wasted your time on the sp version

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

I see

proud spruce May 24, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

Seems like almost everything that works in MP works the same in SP, but not vice versa.

nimble spoke May 24, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

I'd say it is time to bug Connall again, aaaaand he's offline, I think I'll make him stay away from this channel

brazen mesa May 24, 2018, 7:18 PM

#

that kinda reminds me, how every modern game is made - everything gets made with multiplayer methods, functions, and then, when you're playing the game in single-player (offline), you get that weird latency lag, and you're just sitting there like "How can player input and character itself jump around in time?! It makes no sense! I'M NOT PLAYING A SERVER!! But rather - alone, which has 0% to do with online. Besides, even if this was a server, shouldn't ping be 0, because I'm playing what I'm hosting?" An example would be -- Minecraft, Starbound

#

I always hate that in games, once multiplayer gets implemented 😅

earnest quartz May 24, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

uh......most games are still made in single, with MP tacked on later if at all

brazen mesa May 24, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

I mean, it varies with games

#

some are, some are not

#

it's just that, for these specific games, there is no function to play singleplayer, even though they advertise it... an example, you press on "singe player", but, instead, it hosts a server locally, even though, you didn't ask for it

proud spruce May 24, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

For games that are made to be played multiplayer, or where that is the main focus, that's the most efficient way to develop singleplayer.

brazen mesa May 24, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

yeah, that's true though

#

Because, making a sp specific mode, would double the amount of code required and that leads to non-dry code and a mess overally, but at the same time, is better performance-wise

proud spruce May 24, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

That performance increase is debateable, but also moot. There's a lot of things that increase performance, but anything that doubles workload for a performance change that only affects some users in some situations which was already playable isn't worth it.

brazen mesa May 24, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

I mean, it doesn't really matter that much these days, because it would affect the performance of a slower generation computers only... an example, you make a single-player world, but, get an offline-lan server instead, which leads you to constant packet latency over lag issues

proud spruce May 24, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Frequently those problems don't even have anything to do with it being a server, as in how the connections are made, but because the computations usually being done away from the client are running underneath the game.

nimble spoke May 25, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

@pine vigil Any chance of getting an event hooked to loading items as Nolan suggested? It would be easier to retrieve mod data this way

quasi geode May 25, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

that could be very performance degrading...imagine loading hundreds of small items (cigarettes, ammo, food etc) and triggering a event for them all

nimble spoke May 25, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

I didn't think about that, maybe not an event for each of them, but one event once? I don't know the viability, I'm just thinking about what nolan said

quasi geode May 25, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

really i think checking LoadGridSquare is probably the 'least' performance drag, except possibly adding a new key to the script item text files: onload = function_name

nimble spoke May 25, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

that sounds like a better solution

fringe jackal May 26, 2018, 6:04 PM

Can i edit vanilla traits and professions with mod? If yes, then should i just copy-paste vanilla code and edit it or i need to do it the same way as with loot distribution tables?

did iwbums change any container categories/names? using hydrocraft on it (yaya not updated) and notice hydrocraft items dont spawn in the big food mart in westpoint, tryin to figure the cause to fix myself 😄

@drifting ore It works for me i guess. What part is you concerned about?

drifting ore May 28, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

Just asking if anything could happen.

earnest quartz May 28, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

the more i play iwbums+hydrocraft (ya hc not updated) the more i feel like something changed in loot tables and items not spawning, but poking at files i dont see whats missin, and diffing to an old HC that i played has loot tables the same, but cant shake the feelin lol 😛

#

anyone aware of areas changed related to how loot is rolled? container names changed?

drifting ore May 28, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

Hydrocraft isn't working with IWBUMS?

#

😩

earnest quartz May 28, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

it works, that bit my even just be in my head, hense askin

#

well....'works'

#

it has other issues since he doesnt update to iwbums heh

proud spruce May 28, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

I'd also be curious if any container names or similar possibly changed. I'm going to be working on some distributions soon and trying to make sure I have all the categories.

#

Is there a simple (current) reference anywhere, or should I just go diving through the current distributions files?

quasi geode May 28, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

the distribution files is a simple reference, use a editor that allows you to collapse/fold code levels (ie notepad++) and you can see exactly whats in there while cutting out all the noise (the actual items themselves)

proud spruce May 28, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

That's what I figured.

nimble spoke May 28, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

hydro doesn't simply add to loot tables, as far as I know it takes control of item spawning in order to balance all hydro items and maybe that's why it isn't working perfectly

#

I never checked it to see how it worked but I do remember a code to take over loot spawn

proud spruce May 28, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

As far as I've seen, it's mostly just added to the distributions tables (via HCLoading.lua)

Okay I need developer to help me with one thing or someone who is able.

#

I want to create my own radio station, but I have no idea where I am supposed to get randomised id's for the lines.

#

I more or less know the structure of the file, but the line id's that are.. seemingly random are sort of hard for me to get a grasp on. How do I generate them? Do i need to think of them or something or what?

#

Basically this:

<LineEntry ID="1324709a-daa5-4171-a569-eed4641f3254" r="128" g="128" b="255">I'm a cow!</LineEntry>

#

I don't know what LineEntry ID is and how do I get it generated for every single line.

nimble spoke May 28, 2018, 7:27 PM

#

Cnosidering radio lines are used in a context, I'd say the id includes information about that context. Channel, subject, day and so on

#

Studying the lines could give a good hint on how that context is defined, if we don't get more exact info

earnest quartz May 28, 2018, 7:28 PM

heh...64bit hex, uuid

crimson panther May 28, 2018, 8:43 PM

Never heard of a radio station that gives XP.

drifting ore May 29, 2018, 12:46 AM

Oh lol, you were talking about mostly radio stations.

#

I was relating TV xp shows.

#

My bad.

Either, honestly. Never heard of TV doing that either.

crimson panther May 29, 2018, 12:48 AM

It cannot happen, haven't found a way.

drifting ore May 29, 2018, 12:48 AM

Life and Living channel has all of that.

#

#

They've added that one year ago.

crimson panther May 29, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

My mission is to expand on the meta-game of the game by adding more radio stations. Right now I create rock radio station with lyrics of songs from that time period, then I will create radio station for cooking

#

and I will also try to expand past day 8 apocalyptic stories

#

like parson's park did with tim.

proud spruce May 29, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

I'd like to take a peek at wherever that TV channel is.

crimson panther May 29, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

radio, for now only car radio

#

TV later.

#

but I did use lyrics from Guns 'N Roses

#

or Queen

#

and referenced the bankrupcy of Pan-Am airlines

proud spruce May 29, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

That was in response to Myaniera, as I've not heard of Life and Living doing that and not seen the files for it.

crimson panther May 29, 2018, 12:52 AM

I will be doin something similar

@drifting ore there can be more than one, right?

drifting ore May 29, 2018, 12:53 AM

so life and living gives you xp?

proud spruce May 29, 2018, 12:53 AM

TV is part of the radio file, so in theory it should be able to.

Also i've been wondering if it's possible to modify radio logic: It's kinda sad that radios won't transmit anything if not held in hand which is kinda unrealistic if you have hands-free device also not being able to hear anything from a walkie-talkie if it's not being held in hands (i mean do you people watch movies with policemen involved? have you even noticed that they clip radios somewhere near their shoulder to use it). Also, VoIP, what's the deal about it not being transmitted over the radio? I mean, radios are for public MP obviously, but have you ever tried typing something in chat in a heat of looting run? My point is that there's just no usecases for radios nowdays. My question is if that could be changed trough mods or it's deep inside java classes?

wraith moat May 29, 2018, 12:55 PM

I got a question guys! I changed a couple things in the script to RP as Woodie from another survival game not named >.> and it worked last night but when I re-opened the game today, it is not working. I changed the axe info to 1500 durability and 1/3000 chance to lower durability (essentially making the perfect axe coughLucycough). It worked fantastically last night (as it usually did when I used to mod things) and then when I loaded up my save today the axe was broken! I checked the files to see if maybe Steam 'updated' them to default, but it's the same as before. What gives?

cursive roost May 29, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

IIRC durability is stored as a byte value (ranges from 0..255)

#

if it's out of range, it gets written as 0

#

which becomes broken

wraith moat May 29, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

Oh, so... why did it work for the duration that I was playing last night?

cursive roost May 29, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

because run-time it's stored as an int, with a range of 256^2-1, ie 32767

#

don't ask me why, though

wraith moat May 29, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

Ohkay. What about chance to lose durability? Do you know the range on that?

cursive roost May 29, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

that is not saved, I think, but let me check

#

no, I don't think that is saved

#

at least, I can't find it

wraith moat May 29, 2018, 1:08 PM

#

Okay....

#

I'll give it a go with 255 on each just in case.

#

Should still make for a BA axe.

I was reading that some people change the ConditionLowerChanceOneIn to 1. Am I reading this wrong? Wouldn't 1/1 mean every time you swung it at something it'd lower?

So I'm still doing something wrong. Even with 255 durability and a tiny chance (in the hundreds or thousands) of durability loss, my axe keeps breaking very quickly.

@fringe jackal VOIP and radio doesn't mix together. Though we are also looking ways to mod the radio with a chatbox mod but still having trouble with it.

The logic is kinda hardcoded in java class and lua can't do much...

What are the parameters for OnFillContainer? I'm getting an error here, probably due to using it wrong

nimble spoke May 31, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

thanks, as I thought the error was caused by wrong parameters

quasi geode May 31, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

if you ever need to check exactly what the parameters are, you can do something like:

#

Events.OnFillContainer.Add(function(...) local d = {select(1,...)} for i, v in ipairs(d) do d[i] = tostring(v) end print("-- Args: ("..table.concat(d, ", ")..")") end)

#

that function will work for any event, any number of args..most of the java classes that get passed will convert to string representations safely

nimble spoke May 31, 2018, 4:04 PM

interesting, thank you

#

So it really seems that setting the icon outside of a player's inventory doesn't really change the icon for the player, is that a server/client shenanigan?

it only ever works if the player has the item the moment it is changed/loaded

might have to, though it might be a problem sending to all, i'd assume clients outside of the area wouldnt have the item loaded

you could add a new car with new car stats, new color or texture.

you cannot add new models or parts of cars

But can you replace a model?

hope so

nimble spoke May 31, 2018, 7:52 PM

I know several variants are actually the same base type, so what we want to know is how much modding we can do with variants without touching the base types

placid delta May 31, 2018, 10:38 PM

via copy and paste over game files you probably can. but that wont be a nice mod that requires pasting files

whats the reason behind models wouldnt work? o.O

placid delta May 31, 2018, 11:25 PM

idk what you mean by a variant. you can add a new car which uses one of the already available 9 models. but you cant just say, open up the pickup model in blender, adjust the size of the back to be longer, save it as a new model and add it to the game, resulting in the game having 10 car models. modders can only use the lua methods they have access to.

is it possible for mod to talk between clients on a MP server? like i want an 'item blacklist' kinda mod, so person says 'ok i got a cooking pot' and everyone else sees the pot in red and not loot it anymore

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

clients can use sendClientCommand() to send data to the server, the server can then use sendServerCommand() to pass the messages onto other clients

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

in sendClientCommand() what exaclty is the module? command is the function name isn't it?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

module is a string (it can be anything really), command is also a string which can be anything. for orgm, i use a table that maps the 'command' string to a table key, the table's value is a function

#

quite litterally this is orgm's clientside current use of the sendClientCommand, and the event hook trapping the sendServerCommand reply

#

``ORGM.Client.requestServerSettings = function(ticks)
if ticks and ticks > 0 then return end
if isClient() then
ORGM.log(ORGM.INFO, "Requesting Settings from server")
sendClientCommand(getPlayer(), 'orgm', 'requestSettings', ORGM.Settings)
end
Events.OnTick.Remove(ORGM.Client.requestServerSettings)
end

ORGM.Client.onServerCommand = function(module, command, args)
--print("client got command: "..tostring(module)..":"..tostring(command).." - " ..tostring(isClient()))
if not isClient() then return end
if module ~= 'orgm' then return end
ORGM.log(ORGM.INFO, "Client got ServerCommand "..tostring(command))
if ORGM.Client.CommandHandler[command] then ORGM.Client.CommandHandlercommand end
end
``

#

the first function is basically triggered on logging into the server, requesting the server's orgm settings, the second function is more a generic OnServerCommand event handler

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:01 AM

#

using getPlayer() there in client command does it for all players or what? I thought you'd need to specify the player

#

ohhh no, the current client

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:02 AM

#

the first argument is ment to be IsoPlayer object, the one client sending...i mostly ignore it anyways

#

when one client asks for the server settings i just push it to all clients...its not a very frequent command so the performance isnt a factor, and it helps ensure all clients remain in sync...though its unlikely they'll have changed anyways

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

And I was here hoping it would be simpler lol

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:07 AM

#

its pretty simple as is

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:08 AM

#

A little beyond what I've been coding for my mods, so I have to catch up if I want to try it

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:10 AM

#

sendClientCommand(IsoPlayer, string, string, data)....OnClientCommand: compare 1st string to see if you should ignore this command (module check)...compare second string to see what the command actually is...do something (or ignore) the data

#

sendServerCommand is basically the same, though can be 3 or 4 arguments, i believe if your using the 4 argument version the first arg (IsoPlayer) is the player your sending the command to

#

``ORGM.Server.onClientCommand = function(module, command, player, args)
--print("Server got command: "..tostring(module)..":"..tostring(command).." - " ..tostring(isServer()))
if not isServer() then return end
if module ~= "orgm" then return end
ORGM.log(ORGM.INFO, "Server got ClientCommand "..tostring(command))
if ORGM.Server.CommandHandler[command] then ORGM.Server.CommandHandler[command](player, args) end
end

ORGM.Server.CommandHandler.requestSettings = function(player, args)
ORGM.log(ORGM.INFO, "Sending Settings to ".. (player and player:getUsername() or ""))
sendServerCommand('orgm', 'updateSettings', ORGM.Settings)
end
``

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

ok, let me clear one thing first, sendClientCommand triggers onClientCommand event, to run a function clientside, sendServerCommand triggers onServerCommand to run a function serverside

#

right?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

theres the server side of the command

#

sendClientCommand (clientside) triggers onClientCommand (serverside)

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

oooooooooooooohhhhhh right, good thing I asked

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

sendServerCommand (serverside) triggers onServerCommand (clientside)

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

yes, that's what I needed

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

its really quite handy...i need to think of more uses for it other then just passing the ORGM.Settings table lol

#

one captca though...apparently it doesnt work if you use sendClientCommand during a OnGameStart event

#

that drove me nuts...couldnt figure out why my command wasnt sending, had to take a hint from DrCox's reload sync mod and use the OnTick event to check and make sure the tick count is at least > 0, then remove the event

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:23 AM

#

Let's test it and see the red error squares pop up!

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:26 AM

#

you may want to use a print statement in the OnClientCommand and OnServerCommand events for debugging purposes, like the lines i got commented out in the above code snippits

#

its helpful...plus you can see alot of stuff the server is sending like rain barrel updates 😄

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:28 AM

#

ok, with all this I discovered one thing, if the code to set item texture runs on client it fails to set the texture, even for the code that I had working before

#

now I'll try reverse and see what happens

#

No, that's not it, both isClient and isServer are preventing my setTexture code to work

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:34 AM

#

oh is that in SP mode? because they'll both return false

#

the send commands wont work in SP anyways, its blocked java side

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:38 AM

#

makes sense, so I'll have to add a if not isClient() and not isServer() for SP along with the code for MP?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:39 AM

#

ya you'll have to do seperate cases to handle SP mode

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:39 AM

#

good to know, but now I'm lost again, I thought it could be the solution to my problem

#

why the hell setting the texture only seems to work for the player's inventory or bags inside it? Even if I try OnContainerUpdate which should be fairly simple it fails

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:43 AM

#

OH....try setWorldTexture() ?

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:43 AM

#

what is a world texture?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:44 AM

#

is the problem that the textue isnt updating when the item is dropped? or not updating in other containers as well?

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:45 AM

#

If the icon is changed inside my inventory then the icon on the ground is also changed when I drop it.

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:45 AM

#

oh

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:46 AM

#

But that's it can't give them the new icon anywhere else outside of a cascade checking that started with OnGameStart

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:47 AM

#

so its just when reloading then?

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:47 AM

#

If I take or put an item in a container it should trigger OnContainerUpdate for that container, right?

#

yeah, ohhh and when I make the item of course, that also works

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:48 AM

#

idk if they added the OnContainerUpdate yet....i have to wait for GoG to update to investigate the new version

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:49 AM

#

That isn't the ideal fix anyway, it was just me trying to find other ways to get the icon working

#

I tried checking the cell also tied to OnGameStart, tried LoadGridSquare

#

and OnFillContainer, which also isn't useful

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 3:52 AM

#

so...re-asking then...the problem is just when reloading the game the texture reverts?

#

try calling item:update() after :setTexture() ?

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 3:55 AM

#

yes, that's the problem, and I presumed that in MP if a player disconnects and connects back it would also happen

#

I'll test that

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:00 AM

#

oh actually looking at the code that one probably wont help

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:00 AM

#

didn't

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:07 AM

#

ya looking at the InventoryItem save method, it doesnt seem that texture is one of the saved attributes

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:10 AM

#

I guess my only option is to find why setting the texture isn't working

#

if it works in the recipe and for the player inv when a game starts, there must be something missing to make it work in other cases

#

Do you know of an event that could be used for testing it?

#

Something like "I check this container and run the code to give the new icon for items inside it" lol

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

not that i can think of offhand, its actually been a problem i been tempted to solve for orgm for a while, to properly update firearms in containers after reloading

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:22 AM

#

ohhh I see

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:23 AM

#

alot of item properties arent properly saved...most importantly weapon weight changes from attachments

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:23 AM

#

so you're trying to fix it with moddata too?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:25 AM

#

no..for now i've left items in containers alone, and all the item fixing happens when a firearm is equipped or has a mod attached or removed

#

it was a real problem before, when you logged back in weapon weights had reset to default...if you had attachments that were heavy (like the supressors), then when you removed the attachments you could end up with having a firearm with a negative weight value

#

at least until you reloaded the save again..then it set back to default again

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:27 AM

#

that sounds like a real nightmare

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

its a issue with vanilla but its not as noticable, but if you attach a sling to a gun, logout, reload, the weight is back to default...remove the sling and its heavier then the original

#

with the silencer mod, attach a 1.2 weight suppressor to a 1 weight gun, relog and remove the suppressor, your new weight is -0.2 lol

#

but with orgm its much more important, since we're not only setting the weight dynamically, but other stats as well, damage, recoil etc

#

it be nice to be able to go through the containers on login, to readjust all the weights to the proper values again so the player cant pack more (or less) items into the container then it should really be holding, but i never figured out a method to do so that was performance acceptable

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:38 AM

#

That is exactly what I need for the icons, either cover the whole map at once, or cover areas as they are needed/loaded

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:40 AM

#

ya the only way i could think of was using LoadGridSquare, checking the world inventroy at that square, and recursively checking containers...it might not be so bad if your only looking for 1 or 2 item types

#

but with orgm theres well over a hundred different weapons to check each container for

#

so screw that lol

#

not willing to generate that much lag on that event...since LoadGridSquare is triggered a lot

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:42 AM

#

I tried to use it and didnt work

#

actually I think I still have it running in my test and it does nothing

#

not even error messages as I got with OnFillContainer

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:44 AM

#

which part is it failing at? finding items or setting the textures? and whats the error message from OnFillContainer?

#

i've used OnFillContainer to modify item properties before as they spawn

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:45 AM

#

I don't know if it is failing to find the item or to set up the texture, I didn't test that. I don't remember the error from OnFillContainer but I fixed it, still useless because I'm not spawning items with the custom icon like that

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:46 AM

#

ah

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:46 AM

#

Do you think I should test OnFillContainer with random items?

#

simply give them random icons and see wht happens?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:47 AM

#

well it will probably work with OnFill, but the icons arent going to persist over the reload

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:47 AM

#

yeah exactly

#

well, I did add a print() line after the texture is set and it is failing as well

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:48 AM

OnFill is only triggered during the inital spawning so its of limited use for this problem

@quasi geode As an example:
TraitFactory.addTrait("Insomniac", getText("UI_trait_Insomniac"), -6, getText("UI_trait_InsomniacDesc"), false, not sleepOK);

#

The last two arguments are ones I don't understand. The second to last I see true and false on some and I haven't grokked out what they mean yet and the last one is only present on some.

#

I'm pretty sure the third argument is the cost/refund of the trait, but I've also noticed several traits have a zero and those seem to be the ones set to "True".

#

So I think that's unselectable or hidden? Because Desensitized is one like that and that's only from the Veteran profession?

the last 2...the first one 'false' is if its a profession trait..ie: wont show up on the trait selection list and cant be removed...if you set it to true, you should set the cost (-6) to 0....the last one 'not sleepOK' is a boolean true|false, if the trait should be disabled (unselectable) in MP

proud spruce Jun 1, 2018, 4:34 PM

It's inverting the SleepOK server setting to put what its status should be for MP?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

if you're looking at modifying the base traits, or adding new ones, i'd suggest taking a look at the profession framework mod (disclaimer: i'm the author)...it simplifies the process of adding or modifying the traits (and professions)

proud spruce Jun 1, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

Ooo, will do. That sounds like it'll help a lot.

#

So, I don't yet see how these attach to the various logics of each trait. (The exclusivity, XP bonuses, and free recipes all seem relatively straightforward, though.) Is that the stuff that's largely hardcoded that the Framework refers to?

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

no the 'hardcoded' stuff is traits that are refered to in other base game lua/java files

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 4:46 PM

#

Can separate mods modify the same professions/traits without conflict?

#

For example can I add a recipe to them without breaking what other mods add

quasi geode Jun 1, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

uh it really depends on how its done

#

say if 1 mod modifies the base game files, and the second mod uses the profession framework, it might cause some issues...it really shouldnt be mixed

#

if both mods have included the profession framework in their own lua files, instead of just flagging the framework as a required mod, thats definatly going to break

#

(dont include the files, make it a required mod)

#

if both call ProfessionFramework.addTrait("MyTrait", trait_data)... then its going to depend on the load order..the second one loaded with overwrite the first

#

if you wanted to be really safe about it you'd have to call ProfessionFramework.getTrait("MyTrait") and see if it returns the trait's table

#

if not then add the trait...if it does then just modify the specific parts of that table ie: recipies or skill bonus etc

#

unfortunatly it really wasnt designed to be used with other mods that modify traits or professions, because do to so those mods are overwritting the base game files or functions...trait mods generally wont be compatibile with other trait mods anyways

#

the framework is more so multiple mods that use it can work in harmony without conflicting....though the expectation that those multiple mods would try modifying the same trait wasnt built in

nimble spoke Jun 1, 2018, 5:22 PM

Ok, I'll check it, I have a few recipes I'd like to add but really not worth breaking compatibility

some mods just dont have the proper translation setup...hardcoded strings instead of the use of translation files

#

i mean cmon theres even a special folder for that kinda stuff

#

@river plinth There's no such mod i belive, and vehicle parts like trunks are hardcoded i belive atm. I mean you could alter them but only with a complete rewrite of a vehicle config. Correct me if i'm wrong, because i'm working on cars atm and kinda need that info confirmed or corrected.

quasi geode Jun 3, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

most fridges are 120v or 240v AC power....those car batteries are 12v DC...you'd need a inverter and a whole crapload of batteries the draw from a fridge would seriously drain them fast

mighty chasm Jun 3, 2018, 5:37 PM

car batteries (depending on what kind of car they are for and such) should hold somewhere around 500 watt hours

fridge will use 1~2 kwh a day, though some can use as low as 500 watt hours

Odd question, but outside Hydrocraft is there anyone in here who has made a mod that uses IsoThumpables for buildings and who has object/sprite persistance without a bit of hackery?

IsoThumpables...have to excuse my noobness on this part...is that including doors/windows etc? i've never looked to see exactly what the IsoThumpables contains

necroforge does a good job of persistance with the tile cloning brush on pretty much everything

the necroforge brushes you can copy/paste anything on buildings, it all works, perists in MP etc

i havent had the chance to test with build 39 yet though...will be very soon once GoG validates that upload....we do alot of necroforge building and map customization on the server

some people boring aftear a year of surviving... my mods works on that.

#

yes, orgm i'ts too technical, i like it!!! But some people tell me it's difficult to understand (not understand english very well and weapons, i make mod for spanish community)

#

my ammo maker mod i'ts more easy about types of guns... i really want to make it more complex but people of community not likes it)

quasi geode Jun 5, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

ya the newer versions you need to actually have a understanding of firearms in general, but thats kind of what i was aiming for 😄

#

nobody needs a mod that adds over a hundred different guns unless they're actually a gun nut 😉

rocky lynx Jun 5, 2018, 8:07 PM

yes!!

well i go back to modding now, (Making hi-res textures of animals)

#

banana trees looking like coconut palm trees in games since..... ever

#

I understand you don't bother with compatibility but I suggest my farming time mod anyway, it is an attempt to create compatibility in farming mods

#

sadly it appears that so far nobody used the system

quasi geode Jun 5, 2018, 10:14 PM

#

didnt realise farming time did that...thats good i was half tempted to make a farming framework mod so multiple mods could be compatible..that saves me some work then 😄

#

didnt really want to do that anyways, since i dont actually do any farming lol...just mod incompatibilities bug me sometimes...expecially when theres no need for it

nimble spoke Jun 5, 2018, 10:30 PM

#

yeah, that's the reason I made it. I thought making one more (small) farming mod would be pointless with farmoid and other alrger mods around, so I decided to solve that issue

#

Kurogo said he would try to convert farmoid to my system, but I haven't heard of him recently

#

I'm sure there's room for improvement if other people take a look at it

quasi geode Jun 5, 2018, 10:33 PM

#

profession framework didnt really take off either, though there seems to be a ok number of people using it, but i guess its just getting used in private settings and not really incorperated into any of the profession/trait mods

#

no big loss on that one though...i mostly wrote it for our server to make my life easier anyways lol

earnest quartz Jun 5, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

happen to know which farming mod HC absorbed?

#

looking through various farming mods, didnt want to double up heh

quasi geode Jun 5, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

idr...if your using HC though no point adding any other farming mods really, from what i've seen they all try and overwrite the same file so dont play nice with each other

proud spruce Jun 6, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

HC incorporated some seeds from Project Farmoid. I think that was it.

nimble spoke Jun 6, 2018, 1:17 AM

#

HC uses farmoid

#

You won't be able to use any farming mods with HC though

scenic elbow Jun 6, 2018, 5:53 AM

#

it is quite difficult to assemble a nice set of working compatible mods. Im glad steps are being made to solve this issue (hopefully). I feel there is so much potential in making smaller mods packs focusing on different aspects of the game and allowing them all to be used to make an overhaul of the entire game geared towards what your interests are.

#

that said, some small advice perhaps in how to best acheive this. I was looking at OG, HC, Project Farmboid etc. Id like to extend the mechanics of survival outward as far as possible but it seems some of these mods will not work together. Any hints as to which combo of mods would be best to get a richer crafting/scavenging experience would be greatly appreciated.

#

what we are currently working with on our server. any further additions you guys may suggest would be most welcome https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=915952915

earnest quartz Jun 6, 2018, 6:14 AM

#

i mostly see HC used for that, as it seems to absorb everything

scenic elbow Jun 6, 2018, 6:44 AM

#

i was very intrigued by ORGm but as i understand it the two are not compatible correct? Also HC adds a few "useless" loot items as well? My apologies if i am derailing any convos, just trying to best understand what i can and can not run together.

quasi geode Jun 6, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

ORGM is compatible with HC, they dont conflict with each other...but theres no specific compatability there

#

parts of HC wont work for ORGM, like the ammo crafting etc

#

ORGM should be non-conflicting with all other mods, except other gun mods

scenic elbow Jun 6, 2018, 7:15 AM

#

Thank you @quasi geode cant wait now to dig into ORGM. 👍

nope... you need to search on trees, foragable items not animals...

big trees (to secure there is an area of deep forest)

drifting ore Jun 6, 2018, 10:06 PM

#

¿No sería posible añadir una manera en donde los animales pudiesen inflingir un tipo de daño físico en el jugador ?

rocky lynx Jun 6, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

Creo que si (Tengo varias cosas en mente), pero hoy en dia lo que estoy haciendo es pulir todo el sistema de caza con texturas en resolución 2x.

#

En un principio he usado texturas en baja resolución para testeos mas que nada.

placid delta Jun 6, 2018, 10:08 PM

#

thats pretty neat. just make the animal sighting way more rare.

rocky lynx Jun 6, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

animal sighting depend on foraging perk

#

and chance to hit when you fire (Aiming perk)

#

not easy (in testing video i have 10 foraging and increace chances to make the a short video)

#

you can hunt little animals with slingshot and binoculars also.

#

only can hunt with rilfe if the weapon has attached a scope, and if you do the click on a large tree (Treesize > 2) and player far away from tree

#

some animals give you some panic (That affects the chance to hit also)

#

you can go to hunt in night but you can't view anything if not have a right trait (cat eyes) if you got that trait, can see a lot better the images. In next updates i want to add some nocturnal animals.

#

sorry about my language i speak spanish.

quasi geode Jun 6, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

not sure i agree with the scope and panic...hunting should be possible wihtout scopes, its done all the time.

#

If you are hunting with a scope, then odds are you're far enough away from the animal that there would be no need to panic at all

rocky lynx Jun 6, 2018, 10:16 PM

#

yes but i want to make it hunting a little more challenging.

finding weapon parts etc

ya i understand that..no point making it easy, personally i'd have just made finding animals harder for difficulty..but thats just me

#

but i dont know how hard it is finding them now, i havent had time to test it yet just looked at the code a little bit

rocky lynx Jun 6, 2018, 10:22 PM

the code in the last version may be obsolete in the next update :p

#

adding nocturnal animals and manage tables to make it more easier to code.

quasi geode Jun 6, 2018, 10:24 PM

#

naturally...i didnt give the code a full inspection, i was just checking out the layout and such

rocky lynx Jun 6, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

if i can add a icon custom textures in a texture.pack and the game reads that, i can finally solved the script ResizeWorldIcon issue string on scripts. And make it compatible with 1x and 2x game. But for some reason game not read the .pack only for icons.

quasi geode Jun 6, 2018, 10:28 PM

i havent tested that...i was tempted to throw all my icons in a .pack but didnt get around to it

if you get the icon pack work please tellme how because i tested with a lot of configuration variants and can't solve the problem.

quasi geode Jun 6, 2018, 10:31 PM

will do..i probably wont be testing for a while though, i still need to rename alot of the icons...trying to get them all organized so the different types of items are easier to find in the directory

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

I have to test loot distributions for vehicles and see if I can find all the tags in the lua file.

#

I've got some stuff I'm planning to add with a mod I'm working on.

What is the easiest way to test vehicle loot changes? Necroforge?

What does Necroforge do again?

among other things it allows you to spawn items, furniture and vehicles

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 8:52 PM

#

i dont think it will help with vehicle loot changes

#

not sure theres a actual vehicle spawn option...you can spawn parts, and theres some debugging functions (which dont all seem to work well in MP)

nimble spoke Jun 7, 2018, 8:54 PM

#

I remember a discussion about spawning vehicles

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 8:54 PM

#

too bad i just logged off or i'd double check for that

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 8:55 PM

#

Oh that reminds me, in a code such as...

table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Postal"]["TruckBed"].items, 0.3);```
Would that number be a drop chance out of 100?

#

I want to do a test with as high a chance as possible to ensure I have certain locations spawning correctly.

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 8:55 PM

#

its worth noting though NF hasnt been updated in a while, all the vehicle functions are from older pz versions

#

effectively out of 100, yes...but from a techinical probability standpoint, no (since it rolls more then once)

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

I figured it wouldn't be quite that way, but wondering since I usually see values such as 0.5, 1, and 5.

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

its also has a multiplier based on loot rarity settings

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

Is there a way to grab that setting in lua?

#

I have some stuff that spawns through a lua script and I would like it to use that setting if at all possible.

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

ZomboidGlobals.WeaponLootModifier << for weapons

#

the multiplier thats applied is: 0.2 extremely rare, 0.6 rare, 1.0 normal, 2.0 common, 4 abundant

#

so if the value is 5, and the loot is abundant, then 5*4 = 20

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

oooo, good.

Gonna leave these here...

#

I'll dig through the files a bit and see if I can spot some of what else is stored in ZomboidGlobals

#

Do you have to require anything to access that?

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

no

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

Excellent.

quasi geode Jun 7, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

check lua/shared/defines.lua

#

those are everything in ZomboidGlobals

proud spruce Jun 7, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

Ah, thank you!

#

Is SandboxVars accessible the same way as ZomboidGlobals?

We are making mod for our server, and trying to make radios work from inventory without equiping into the hand, we made what radio UI doesnt dissapear and we can use interact with radio without equip, but it doesnt send or receive radio translations in this way, Could you please advice something? We spend 8+ hours, ty)
we want to let begginers to talk via radio while 2h weapon equiped

#

@here

#

URGENT

quasi geode Jun 8, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

most of the code for radios is in the java files, including the detecting the player speaking and output if i remember right

tacit dirge Jun 8, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

so for now it is not possible to do this?

#

until devs move it to lua?

quasi geode Jun 8, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

ya dont think so...i remember going through a pile of the radio java a while back for someone else that wanted to hack into the send/recieve methods, didnt work out so well

tacit dirge Jun 8, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

@quasi geode thank you

#

😦

stuck kayak Jun 8, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

Yea.... Radio is jacked up by the hardcoded section of java files

#

It still remains a problem for writing a custom chatbox with no radio features in it.

tacit dirge Jun 8, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

@stuck kayak ty for response

#

maybe there is any idea how to avoid it?

#

dirty, bugged script whick will work

#

which*

stuck kayak Jun 8, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

I wanted to write a custom chatbox. It is actually already released on steam for my rp server but it lacked radio transmissions feature.

#

It should have worked by using player:say()

#

As that's the only code so far in lua that make sense in the vanilla chatbox.

tacit dirge Jun 8, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

does it works?

#

ur mode?

#

can i have a link please?

stuck kayak Jun 8, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

It doesn't work on mine once I turn off the network part

#

(In which it will not use the original chatbox network algorithm to handle messages)

i swear i cant survive 2 days with super survivors on

#

they constantly fucking lure zombies to me or loot my house while my crew ignores them

#

any tips?

earnest quartz Jun 8, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

get guards with guns 😛 or turn off them spawning with guns

#

i like to start with high npc, non hostile, no zombies, gives you time to make a group and slowly get used to zombies moving in, and npc turn more hostile over time as well

quasi geode Jun 8, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

turn off all zombies and just have survivors battling it out...least the gunfire wont lure anything 😄

earnest quartz Jun 8, 2018, 7:53 PM

that works too, more apocalypse, less zombie

I'm trying to include a new lot category in VehicleDistributions. I saw that distributionTable is inserted in VehicleDistribution after it is created and populated, but using tableInsert(VehicleDistributions["distributionTable"]["PickUpTruckLights"].Specific, XXX) throws a severe lua error

if i use workshop to grab a mod, but i want to copy/edit/tweak it, any places to put said copied mod other than workshop folder so steam doesnt overwrite it on an update?

guessin theres a regular mod folder somewhere?

lets see.......code questions, any example mod/code for

when i right click a tile, how to get the region or biome or w/e? to see if im in town vs in woods
mod A adds an item to the right click menu, can i with mod B remove it or stop mod A from adding it?
where to find a list of all loot spawn region/biome so i know where to toss stuff in?

table.insert(VehicleDistributions, 1, distributionTable); Does anyone know what the 1 there means?

huhh, it seems to be the position in the table, nothing that should cause the error

Soul Filcher - Today at 5:21 PM table.insert(VehicleDistributions, 1, distributionTable); Does anyone know what the 1 there means?

#

table.insert(table_name, position_to_insert, value_to_insert)

#

basically 1 puts it at the top of the table

#

ah sorry..nvm missed your second comment there lol

#

@nimble spoke oh...is this what your trying? table.Insert(VehicleDistributions["distributionTable"]["PickUpTruckLights"].Specific, XXX)

#

because thats not going to work...by the file using table.insert(VehicleDistributions, 1, distributionTable), its inserting the distributionTable at index 1

#

ie: VehicleDistributions[1] .... not: VehicleDistributions["distributionTable"]

nimble spoke Jun 9, 2018, 12:38 AM

#

ohhhh, thanks, that's probably the source of the error

quasi geode Jun 9, 2018, 12:41 AM

gotta remember lua tables are funky...they can act as a sorted list using a index position..and a unsorted list that uses a key name at the same time

nimble spoke Jun 9, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

Well, using 1 didn't bring the error, all I have to do now is to check every car I can find to see if my new category spawned

i still need to mess with orgm's vehicle loot...have to poke through the files still, see if it triggers a event when spawning

#

the table system is too static for me

nimble spoke Jun 9, 2018, 1:12 AM

#

Being able to add new categories can make vehicles way more varied, and still themed than houses. I can match contents inside a vehicle to create a small story for example
