Hmm, alright

woven flicker Dec 9, 2018, 6:04 PM

#

thx

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

@spiral plover I don't think they look bad, man.

#

Maybe more definition along the edge, though.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

Hmm, that could help

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

Like around here

#

#

Might be able to pull it off with a shadow.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

Yeah, a shadow of sorts would be ideal

#

there is already one there technically

#

it's just rather light

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

I think I see it, yeah.

#

Is it easy to adjust the shading?

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:19 PM

#

Yeah, I have the thing split up into a layer for every thing (hand drew every little dash of hay O.o)

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:19 PM

#

Cool cool.

#

Nice man.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:19 PM

#

Thanks

#

Idk about the floor tiles though

#

it looks off on the grass

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

See if it looks any better to ya with the shadows like this.

#

📎 unknown.png

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

Alright I'll give that a try

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:21 PM

#

Can you have the edges kinda like what they did with the snow, less straight?

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:21 PM

#

Edges of the haybale or the shadow?

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:21 PM

#

The hay on the ground.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

Ah, that is the hay that comes with the game

#

it is a bit lacking on blending abilities

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

Ah, I gotcha.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I didn't have the edge pieces on it though

#

I could

#

📎 unknown.png

#

stick it on dirt however

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:25 PM

#

It was mostly just the one tile sticking out that made it look kinda off.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

Ah, yeah, it's so square it looks off doing stuff like that

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

It doesn't look bad like this.

#

📎 unknown.png

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

Hmm alright

#

Well thanks! I'll see if I like those shading changes and start putting these around the map

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

No problem, man.

#

I definitely wouldn't scrap it, though.

#

Shit's good, dude.

spiral plover Dec 9, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

😄 appreciate it

ember orchid Dec 9, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

Not a problem, my dude.

drifting ore Dec 10, 2018, 5:07 AM

#

they just need to cast a strong shadow. that l do.

drifting ore Dec 11, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

Bump.
Our roleplaying community is currently looking for a modder, who can help us fix workshop's mod or make a new one. We either need to fix the item's roll command to make it post the results in local chat, or make a completely new dice-based item which will do the same.
If anyone's interested, feel free to contact me via DM. Thanks.

drifting ore Dec 12, 2018, 2:39 PM

Has anything changed with this particular line? Seems like a reason we can't use it for our mod.

player:Say("!");

pine vigil Dec 12, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

Player is ambigious, how is player defined? @drifting ore

drifting ore Dec 12, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

Rolld6.OnClientCommand = function(module, command, player, args)
    if not isServer() then return end
    if module ~= "Rolld6" then return end; 

     if command == "Say" then

        player:Say(args.saythis);

#

function rprolld6(items, result, player)
    num = tostring(ZombRand(6)+1);
    player:Say("Rolls ... " .. num);
    player:Say("!");
    sendClientCommand(player, "Rolld6", "Say", {saythis = "!"});
end

#

Apparently it doesn't use say when performed.

placid delta Dec 12, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I believe the "player" var there is an ID not a player object

#

Also I don't think you can use the "Say" function server side like that

quasi geode Dec 12, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

OnClientCommand event passes a IsoPlayer object. in that rprolld6 function though might be getting a ID

#

ya that serverside Say might be screwing with it...not sure i've ever tried calling it serverside

woven flicker Dec 12, 2018, 11:57 PM

#

so for PZ, how much is out of the modders hands?

#

could i, for example, learn lua and create a proper toggle for Sneak and then make a point-and-click move mode?

#

or is that beyond our reach?

drifting ore Dec 13, 2018, 11:17 AM

#

Ok, so if say's not suitable for this case, is there any other way to print the desired message in chat when using the item?

cursive roost Dec 13, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

@woven flicker you could do that, yes

#

sneak toggle would be tricky, but I think it'd be doable

#

point-and-click move is probably trivial, as there exist(ed) a right-click->move-here option already

woven flicker Dec 13, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

ya but that extra click sucks

#

modifier key would suit it more

cursive roost Dec 13, 2018, 11:40 AM

#

you can probably catch the press/release of a mod key and then handle the rmb in the world

woven flicker Dec 13, 2018, 11:41 AM

#

well i don't know that i'll ever find the time to learn lua, but i'll keep it in mind

river tundra Dec 13, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

Question, is this here for people who want to learn modding, or is this here for people who have questions during their modded playthroughs? I imagine it's the former, but hope it's also the latter.

woven flicker Dec 14, 2018, 4:20 AM

#

it's probably both.

#

so fail 😛

soft glen Dec 14, 2018, 4:52 AM

#

Anyone know of any sort of... Zomboid Station 13 mod?

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

@soft glen what exactly are you looking for?

soft glen Dec 14, 2018, 4:54 AM

#

Well, I was wondering if any sort of SS13 mod existed for PZ. And if not, I was going to find a way to get a hold of supernorn for permission to use sprites and maybe look into an item mod

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 4:56 AM

#

right, but what would the mod do ?

soft glen Dec 14, 2018, 5:56 AM

#

Just add items, things like food, alternative tools, some other stuff

#

From SS13

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 7:04 AM

#

ahh I see. Item mods are pretty easy to put together, so long as they're regular items

#

I'm not familiar with SS13, but if you wanted to make a tool that acted as a hammer, a screwdriver, and a gun (hypothetically) well, that would be much harder (if possible at all)

cursive roost Dec 14, 2018, 7:15 AM

#

it's possible, but the current recipe system doesn't lend itself well to that

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 7:21 AM

#

Hey @cursive roost while you're here and it's on this topic, is Turbo still working on / supporting ItemZed? There's been a few questions from a few people on the thread, and no activity from TT. It seems to have been broken for a while

#

apparently, I asked about this before, too 😬

📎 unknown.png

cursive roost Dec 14, 2018, 7:24 AM

#

ugh... good question

#

I'll ask around

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

thanks mate, I appreciate it. 👍
And at least 3 others will, too 😛 (Questions without responses on the thread)

cursive roost Dec 14, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

It's currently a bit on hold due to other things having higher priority

spark crystal Dec 14, 2018, 7:45 AM

#

Understandable. I'd rather end up with something like anims, than ItemZed fixed - as long as it's still on the radar.

woven flicker Dec 15, 2018, 6:30 AM

#

hey, does pz modding have an API that my autohotkey script could take advantage of to read various character states and act accordenly?

#

i spose lua won't be that hard to learn though, might save me more time just to learn it

#

man wouldn't that be something. a game built like an API to fit with any language of choice for modding

#

anyway i'm just procastinating actual work

drifting ore Dec 15, 2018, 11:27 AM

#

hey ive seen someone else ask about it before, but could java modding be possible

#

i see it is possible if you replace the original files

#

but wouldnt it be not too hard to make the modloader that takes in the lua files just take in jars/somethinglikethat aswell?

rotund walrus Dec 16, 2018, 12:24 AM

#

We need minigames in PZ. Like, arcades and stuff with simple platformers involving Spiffo and the gang.

#

Kinda like that Starboy mod for Starbound.

spiral plover Dec 16, 2018, 3:49 AM

#

That would be an epic mini game to play that could reduce bordedom

rotund walrus Dec 16, 2018, 6:11 AM

And then, imagine it making noise. We can get that good ol' Shaun of the Dead moment going again in the taverns! xD

Hi, guys, what program u use to make custom sprites/models for weapon? Can someone give me a little tutorial about it? (sorry for my bad ENG, I`m from Ukraine)

astral junco Dec 17, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

Для создания кастмных спрайтов используешь любую рисовалку в которой можно рисовать попиксельно. (Photoshop/Aseprite) Для моделек оружия и машин используется Blender так как для него есть скрипт который конвертирует модельки в игру. Но по сути тебе ничего не мешает изначально сделать модельку на том 3d редакторе на котором тебе больше всего удобно и затем конвертировать его в blender. @onyx pelican

Is there any mod that makes the cars less available?

spark crystal Dec 20, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

like the car spawn option in sandbox settings?

drifting ore Dec 20, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

oooo

#

Since when is there an option for the spawnrate of cars?

#

thonk

cinder coral Dec 20, 2018, 11:55 AM

#

Since they came out fork

nocturne escarp Dec 20, 2018, 12:30 PM

#

would be great if they added a section of workshop dedicated to cars only.

drifting ore Dec 20, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

oh i see where the problem is

#

you set it to very low

#

you spawn

fully repaired car with full fuel tank

spark crystal Dec 20, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

you might have the easy vehicles option turned on

#

there's heaps of options you can customize

#

easy vehicles will make them spawn usually unlocked, close to perfecft condition, close to full gas.

drifting ore Dec 20, 2018, 12:50 PM

#

Its the opposite i want

#

cars are so op as soon as you have one you basically can't die besides you drive with 70 through the woods on the traintracks like we did. Just shared that in #pz_b42_chat HAHA

#

they are rather op i guess

#

but as the game is intented to be fairly realistic

#

i think

#

cars are op IRL

cinder coral Dec 20, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

Set engine noise to 100

#

Also always open, full tank, full repair sounds like easy cars

#

oh my god thats actually a really good idea

#

i was trying to think of what game style for scp 3008

#

and you're right PZ would be pretty good

errant hull Dec 24, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

Id be willing to pay same price as zomboid for it

#

Even if it was exact same game, just reskinned

latent crystal Dec 24, 2018, 10:11 PM

pure spruce Dec 25, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

Where do I start for modding PZ? Also, what's the language used?

drifting ore Dec 25, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

I'd suggest you go to the Indie Stone forum and check the mod sub page there. I'm guessing you don't mean English when you refer to language, so probably can't help you with that.

I also have a couple of questions I'd hope someone can answer though. The first one is pertaining to a custom tile sprite I've added to the game.

It's an old style water pump that can be found around farms and gardens. I've managed to get it in to the game and working like a well would.
Problem is with the texture. The picture / sprite quality seems to be to high. It just doesn't fit with the artstyle and needs to be downgraded.
Any ideas on how to make it be more pixel art style rather than photographical?

Second question pertains to generators and their placement. I've made a garage in the building editor, with an open space for a car to pass inside, like a gate of sorts.
So it's basically open on one side. But it does have a room definition, which could be problematic from what I've gathered so far. I want a safeish generator without toxic fumes.

If I remove the room def and build the garage tile by tile to have the same garage, but without the room definition, would that allow me to place a generator inside?
Also wondering if placing a generator on a porch would work, seeing as the porch is without a room itself and is outside of a house, so the air should vent it?

Last part would be, if both of the above were not possible to do without getting killed by the gasses.
Is how far away from the main building a generator can be placed but still being connected and powering appliances inside?

pure spruce Dec 26, 2018, 1:26 PM

#

@drifting ore Thanks, and I meant programming language. It's lua right?

drifting ore Dec 26, 2018, 1:26 PM

#

yeh

#

its all in lua that connects to the core java game

#

a modloader loads it in

#

although id personally prefer making mods in java

drifting ore Dec 26, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

Also, if someone do know how to mod a generator when it comes to the script it used, please send me a message. I've started to create an additional type of backup generator that are used for emergencies.
Basically I want a generator that can be placed indoors, I'll provide tilesheet that will make it placable in the editors if someone can help me with the script.

cinder coral Dec 29, 2018, 9:35 PM

Looks like there's a space between Fruits and ContextMenu, maybe it's getting confused? I also found EvolvedRecipe = Sandwich:5;Stir fry:5;Roasted Vegetables:5;PastaPot:5;PastaPan:5, in "cooking" items, that one's Butter

nimble spoke Dec 29, 2018, 9:56 PM

#

It does have a space as fruits is another text entry. It should be Fruits Juice, but for some reason it is failing to retrieve Juice.

cinder coral Dec 29, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

ContextMenu_EvolvedRecipe_FruitSalad = "Fruit Salad",

#

I don't see any items in ContextMenu that have "Fruit" before, or any other word tbh

#

Is Fruit in ContextMenu_EN as well?

nimble spoke Dec 29, 2018, 10:30 PM

#

If you make a fruit salad with more than one fruit type than it is named Fruits Fruit Salad, because Fruits is the food type, like if you use 2 meat types in a stir-fry it becomes Meat Stir-Fry

#

In my case the evolved recipe name is Juice. It could be Kiwi Juice, Papaya Juice and so on, but if you mix two then it is Fruits Juice

#

That same issue appears when you try to create the recipe, it shows as Create ContectMenu_EvolvedRecipe_Juice

nimble spoke Dec 29, 2018, 10:51 PM

#

Damn, I'm stupid, the text entry must be in a txt file called ContextMenu_EN, I thought the file name wasn't important for some reason

upper junco Jan 5, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

Is it possible to reskin placeable furniture objects. Like for example reskin a wardrobe to look like a toolchest and add them in game as a seperate item?

#

Dont see alot of mods like this is why i ask

#

Most added containers like in hydrocraft mod for example arent placeable

drifting ore Jan 5, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

@upper junco Well you can do that. One process would be to copy the tilesheets from the Tile folder you get with the creation tools from steam or the forums.
Cut the pieces of selected furniture or item up into 128x256 pixel pictures, preferably use a program that does this with structure so it's all equal columns and squares.
Cut and Paste whatever furniture you like onto another tilesheet but keep each tile a 128x256 pixel piece. Then add that tilesheet to your Tile folder in the editors.
Create a map mod (Perhaps there's another way but I know this way.) and add your selected tile as furniture and the like to that map.
Enter the tiledef mode in TileZed and either make your own custom tile definition, or copy one of that item you like to use, onto your custom tile.

#

Create the .pack and .tiles file and add those to the mod itself, finish the map. Put in your mod folder.

#

Then you can find that furniture in your own custom part of the map itself. Perhaps there's other ways, but it's a bit of a process, but fully doable.

nimble spoke Jan 5, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

@upper junco You can, Hydrocraft is old and outdated in how it implemented furniture

#

Once you have a working tile as Pop said, you can make it craftable just like with any carpentry furniture

@pallid matrix typically very little damage is done because humans are mostly water. Let alone rotting and decomposing humans.

by that logic a deer would also be no obstacle at all.

#

hitting an object that weights around 80kg with a speed of let's say 50km/h will not only fuck your entire bumper + a headlight, it will smash through your windscreen

#

^human
Now let's make the speed 80km/h, the average speed of a cruising car and now the human/zombie will damage your frame behind the bumper and send things flying into your engine at least screwing your radiator, and if that body hit's your windshield you are as screwed as mosquito, that corpse will come right through and give you a kiss on the cheek.

Hi! Long time lurker first time poster... Sorry if that sounds creepy at all... 😜

Made a minimap as part of a larger mod for TheGoodOldDayz server but thought others might enjoy it and find it useful as it is now... So it has been packaged as a standalone mod to be updated as the main mod progresses. Requires a texturepack to enable map tiles, details and link are on the workshop page.

Top down only (not isometric... yet. some issues still to iron out but it is capable.) and support for multiple players using gamepad split screen play. Features like safehouse display and last vehicle entered only work for player one at this point.

Lots of features planned for the future, too many to list here. Uses maptiles from cartozed, so it will only support vanilla maps. If cartozed adds save file support, will try to expand mod to include this feature if it becomes available in future.

Feedback would be appreciated. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1619603097 or join us on TheGoodOldDayz soon to try it out as it will be in the next TGoDZ mod-pack update.

Sorry for the long message! Thankyou if you read this far.

rocky lynx Jan 15, 2019, 5:59 PM

Le Gourmet was my first mod, time ago want to make a cooking mod... but time passes and this mod takes another of my mods because, hunting, fishing, farming results in food items.

#

and converts in Le Gourmet Evolution... later, with some more experience i change some things of my mod to make it better (Better mechanics, etc) and then changed to Le Gourmet Evolution Plus. Now it's not only a cooking mod.

Hey @inland gull sorry, but i need some help, there is a way to get (boolean or something) if snowing or thunderstorm in-game?

inland gull Jan 15, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

@rocky lynx i would guess so, tho it's a better question for @devout zephyr (in RainManager you have a boolean to see if a storm is going on, not sure it's still used, let me check quickly)

rocky lynx Jan 15, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

ooh thanks! 😄

inland gull Jan 15, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

did u looked into ClimateManager ?

#

there's even a ThunderStorm class

#

in ErosionMain you have a isSnow() function

#

@rocky lynx try to launch the game in debug mode, there's a debug button on the left that appears, it gives you a debug menu (damn that's a lot of debug word)

rocky lynx Jan 15, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

okay Erosion for snow 😄 i need to check Thunderstorm in ClimateManager

inland gull Jan 15, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

you have a climate control over here, check if there's snow/thunder in there (sorry, this system was changed a lot with turbo's stuff)

rocky lynx Jan 15, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

Okay Rj Thanks 😄

devout zephyr Jan 15, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

eya @rocky lynx heres some more pointers:

local c = getClimateManager();

c:getPrecipitationIntensity(); //float from 0.0 to 1.0.
c:getPrecipitationIsSnow(); //bool to check if its snowing instead of rain.

c:getWeatherPeriod():isRunning(); //to check if theres a active weather period

weather periods run different segments, sometimes with clearings in between.

wp = c:getWeatherPeriod();

to check if the current segment is any of the following special types:

wp:isThunderStorm();
wp:isTropicalStorm();
wp:isBlizzard();

Hey Turbo, since you're helping with weather, at some point I was trying to detect if a specific tile was covered with snow, but couldn't figure out how. I wonder if anything changed in that part of the code

@devout zephyr there is a way to get moonphazes? because i saw some files in lua... but i found moon phazes seems to be deprecated in lua (Commented).
Only can i see illumination factors attached when moon appears sometimes.

devout zephyr Jan 16, 2019, 12:37 AM

nice! @rocky lynx

#

the moon stuff would now be done via ClimateMoon.getMoonPhase() or ClimateMoon.getPhaseName(), but sadly it looks like that class isnt exposed yet. will add them.

I've noticed a very large amount of mods still out there that redefine item defs every time they want to make a single change. Has this still not been addressed in the whole?

quasi geode Jan 17, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

eh? you mean overwriting a item in the scripts .txt files just to make one or two changes?

vast palm Jan 17, 2019, 12:34 AM

yes

#

redefine the entire axe def, to change the icon

#

or the weight

quasi geode Jan 17, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

other methods exist that dont completely overwrite...those modders are just taking the easy way out doing it via the .txt file instead of via lua

vast palm Jan 17, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

right. I made a mod for people to do that a long time ago

#

It's a shame it never really caught on

#

But is it actually documented somewhere accessable for new devs to make the changes through lua? or is it still mostly hidden in all of the code?

quasi geode Jan 17, 2019, 12:38 AM

ah item tweaker...ya sadly frameworks/api's like that are hard to get adopted by the community. i did a s imilar one for professions and traits so multiple mods wouldnt conflict...but never really took off as well as i hoped

So I'm tryna modify the Opening Hours for my own enjoyment, trying to remove the zombie attraction script and increase the time you get to prepare, but I dunno how to differentiate my edit from the vanilla one in the SOLO game creation menu

#

I tried adding a separate description and name for it in the translation package but it still shows two duplicate Opening Hours scenarios. I don't even know if my edits work lmao

#

Note to self, replacing all the instances of "OpeningHours" with "OpeningHoursEdit" just results in the challenge to crash upon load.

#

This is confusing, I dunno if it's even possible

#

Any dev possibly able to give insight?

I'm not too sure to be honest, errors out about lotheader files, but not sure what's causing it. I got to head to bed since it's getting late. I would test to see, if you were to straight copy the original challenge files and do all the renaming and see if it works. Then start commenting stuff out and see if anything breaks. See where that gets you.

Step by step.

Yeah I'll try it. I was iffy on editing the original file but I'll just make a backup

I mean copy the original file again, but do the rename first, test if it works. Then comment stuff out and see if it works. Try and deduce at what point the copy stops working.

@drifting ore Check out the scripts in: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1478038149
Not really two backpack slots, but additional slots for chest and waist, so you could carry 5 bags in total.
That is, if you use back, chest, waist and one more bag in each hand. Looters paradise.

I can't leave alcoholic drinks out of my update with evolved recipes, so I'm trying a different approach. The base item is already alcoholic and made with one beverage type, then the other ingredients are not alcoholic.

Too bad I can't give them custom icons

cinder coral Jan 31, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

Hmm, would it be possible to make another item from alcohol, say beer (like logs into planks) , "alcoholic base" give that a custom icon and have the evolved recipe go from there?

#

Oh wait I reread and I think that's what you did

nimble spoke Jan 31, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

the evolved recipe needs a base item, so it means the same icon for all of them. Unless............ they change it so giving a custom icon to an item actually gets saved and loaded, but I won't bother devs until the animation build comes out

#

Other than that this way I fixed the issue of giving my recipe a thirst value and alcoholic flag

Hi all

How would I go about (or how would I effectively research) writing some lua to unequip everything the player has equipped? I've tried scanning through the zomboid javadocs but it's very overwhelming

#

I see there's setClothingItem_legs etc, can this be passed a null value to take the legs item off?

#

Or is there some removeClothingItem?

#

oooh yeah 👍

#

Don't mind me, now it just looks like I'm talking to myself.

@nimble spoke sorry, I'm still finding the ropes a little with functional modding.
Do you mean - a file that can be included in my mod, like a set of helper/utility methods? Or something that actually ships with Zomboid?
If the latter, where can I find documentation on the LUA functions available in PZ.
I only know about the javadocs atm, and they are a bit of a mess to navigate

#

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2355-api-of-classes-and-methods-accessible-via-lua-scripts/ Is EG's answer here what you're referencing?

The Indie Stone Forums

API of classes and methods accessible via lua scripts ?

Hello, As title says, is there some sort of API to detail what Java classes and methods are accessible via mod scripts ? I suppose all java public classes and methods are not accessible so im left thinking a specific javadoc or sth may prevent from relying too much on other p...

#

And is that what you'd use JDGUI for? (I've not looked at this yet, I assumed it was just an alternative way to access the javadocs, as not everything is listed on javadocs)

#

after further investigation, assuming it's neither - but is instead the lua files stalled in /media/lua/client etc

#

perfect, I've found the function you're talking about (I think.. /media/lua/client/TimedActions/ISUnequipAction).

How does one use this? I know I could copy the code out of there into my own file, but is there a way to call the event as it exists in the zomboid install?
What's best practise here?

#

Apologies for turning this chan into a running commentary 😅

spark crystal Feb 7, 2019, 8:41 AM

#

One issue that I'm having is that when I re-equip my clothing, it does not appear (on my character sprite) to be equipped.
According to the indicators in the inventory, it is equipped.
It unequips as expected (Inventory and sprite),
But equipping it does not graphically update my character.

If I quit and re-load the game, the items are properly equipped.
Also, I can right click > unequip, and then re-equip fine, using the regular context menus.

This all happens from the same ISBasedTimeAction.
I have a helper method I've created, which get's called once at action:start (undressing), and again at action:perform (timer finished, getting dressed again)

#

@cursive roost I know you know your way around the code quite well, is there something I'm doing wrong?

cursive roost Feb 7, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

what are you doing?

spark crystal Feb 7, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

local function ChangePlayerEquipment(specificPlayer, clothingOptions)
    print("Start changing equipment");

    getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("PZ_PutInBag", specificPlayer:getCurrentSquare(), 0, 8, 0, true);

    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Feet(clothingOptions.feet);
    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Hands(clothingOptions.hands);
    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Head(clothingOptions.head);
    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Legs(clothingOptions.legs);
    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Torso(clothingOptions.torso);
    specificPlayer:setPrimaryHandItem(clothingOptions.primary);
    specificPlayer:setSecondaryHandItem(clothingOptions.secondary);
    specificPlayer:setClothingItem_Back(clothingOptions.back);

    triggerEvent("OnClothingUpdated", specificPlayer)
    print("Finished changing equipment");
end

#

That's my function that I'm calling at action start, and again in action:perform (when timed action finishes)

#

clothingOptions is different, depending on where It's come from.

#

I found the triggerEvent("OnClothingUpdated", specificPlayer) line in ISUnequipAction.lua, thinking it might be necessary to forcefully redraw the player sprite, but it didn't make a difference.

#

I'm unsure if there's more that I need to do for that triggerEvent to work in the first place (assuming my assumption on what it does is correct).

#

LUA modding is very new to me, so I've probably made some silly mistakes and assumptions here somewhere

cursive roost Feb 7, 2019, 8:44 AM

#

what does clothingoptions.* contain?

spark crystal Feb 7, 2019, 8:45 AM

#

depending on where it's called rrom, it's one of these.

#

function UndressAction:start()
    local specificPlayer = self.character

    print("Start undressing");
    local clothingOptions = {}
    ChangePlayerEquipment(specificPlayer,clothingOptions);
end

#

local function ShowerWash(worldObjects, object)
    local specificPlayer = getSpecificPlayer(0)
    
    if not object:getSquare() or not luautils.walkAdj(specificPlayer, object:getSquare()) then --if object on square is invalid, or player cannot walk adjacent to object
        return
    end

    local equippedItems = {}
    equippedItems.feet = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Feet();
    equippedItems.hands = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Hands();
    equippedItems.head = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Head();
    equippedItems.legs = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Legs();
    equippedItems.torso = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Torso();
    equippedItems.primary = specificPlayer:getPrimaryHandItem();
    equippedItems.secondary = specificPlayer:getSecondaryHandItem();
    equippedItems.back = specificPlayer:getClothingItem_Back();

    ISTimedActionQueue.add(UndressAction:new(specificPlayer, 100, object, equippedItems));
end

#

It appears to be 'functionally' working - the expected items are unequipped, and then equipped again (according to the inventory screen) - just not visually.

cursive roost Feb 7, 2019, 8:53 AM

#

I've been searching for where the OnClothingUpdated event was trigger

#

then found ./client/TimedActions/ISWearClothing.lua

#

and there that function is called

then I checked what that function did, and it seemed to update all the player character sprites

I don't know much yet about structuring different files that work together. Right now, all my code is in one entirely self contained lua script.
I don't like it, because it's a little confusing, and my style of coding, I like to use a variety of helper methods. feels wrong including them in the same file, sometimes.

That's something I'd like help from someone on, if they ever had the time

Seeing as you're here, would you consider blocking the ability to use the minimap unless some item is in the inventory?
Maybe a new 'Knox County Map' item - which can be made from combining all maps in the base game?
To go a step further, no player locations shown, unless you have some other item like a GPS (requiring batteries)

The tricky part is when people have multiple maps enabled... I haven't played with any custom maps yet so it's totally alien territory. >_>

Took a break for two days and wrote a new mod to learn some new tricks without messing with the minimap. Just getting back into it tonight, putting the latest updates together for tgodz modpack... Marathon session to get the core finished this weekend (settings menus and saving/restoring settings) then it's back to features next week, might do the map item then... Or during the process if I get stuck or bored.

#

@wild gazelle oh, you made the minimap mod?

#

I subbed it, but haven't had a look at it yet

#

I tried my hand at it a long time ago, but I guess feature-creep prevented me from finishing it

#

@wild gazelle if you want to read/write user values, may I suggest looking at my bcUtils mod which has functions for easily reading/writing INI-style config files from / to Lua tables?

#

I'm using that for by bcToolbar mod where I have both "Game Options" (ie: size of the toolbar and hotkey configuration)

#

as well as ingame options (ie: which item sits where on the toolbar)

wild gazelle Feb 7, 2019, 10:21 AM

#

Ah, thanks for the tip. Got a simple filereader/filewriter system for the custom markers/POIs at the moment but a proper INI system sounds way better for the map settings.

#

Doing the settings system inside the map itself for now as I'm confident I can get that working in a short time. Will take a look at that bcToolbar for inspiration and maybe move it to a 'proper' options screen in future, or put more meta-ish settings there like requiring map and gps.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 11:32 AM

@rocky lynx Only thing I can think up off the top of my head is to use the OnWeaponHitCharacter Event and OnZombieDead event to imply a cause. E.g. Store weapon used OnWeaponHitCharacter (and check character hit is zombie) then when OnZombieDead is called, you can assume that the weapon stored from OnWeaponHitCharacter was the weapon used when killing the zombie.

#

But that's asking for trouble, especially in a multiplayer context.

#

Or you could see if just using OnZombieDead event and calling getHitBy() on the zombie works, to tell you the player (might work, might not?) then just check equipped weapon on the player.

I could add 3 separate context menu items, but I'd rather have them all stem from under washing machine.

#

(which doesn't exist as yet)

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

local subMenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(context);
local buildOption = context:addOption("SubMenu Title");
 context:addSubMenu(buildOption, subMenu);

#

Then you continue with adding options to buildOption

#

so you create the submenu, then add an option (which is not selectable by the player) to become the title, the add more options (which will be selectable by the player) that become the entries inside the submenu

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 12:02 PM

#

Thanks @cursive roost , I'm a little confused though still. Could you please provide an example that has more than 1 sub option?

#

or would that just be multiple isntances of context:addSubMenu(buildOption, subMenu);

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 12:02 PM

#

``

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

context:addSubMenu(turnOnOption, subMenu);, context:addSubMenu(addClothesOption, subMenu);, etc?

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 12:03 PM

#

local subMenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(context);
local buildOption = context:addOption("SubMenu Title");
context:addSubMenu(buildOption, subMenu);
local o = subMenu:addOption("Turn on", player, someFunction, someOption);
local p = subMenu:addOption("Turn off", player, someOtherFunction, someOtherOption);

#

context is the second parameter passed via Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

thanks mate, I appreciate it 😃

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

I don't understand what I'm missing 🤔

#

I have this line

local startWashAction = subMenu:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_ActivateMachine"), player, StartWash, object);

#

Which calls these functions

function StartWash(object)
    WalkToTile(object);
    print("Start Wash");
end

local function WalkToTile(object)
    local specificPlayer = getSpecificPlayer(0)
    print("walk to tile");
    if not object:getSquare() or not luautils.walkAdj(specificPlayer, object:getSquare()) then --if object on square is invalid, or player cannot walk adjacent to object
        return
    end
end

#

But I get this error

Don't understand where it's losing track of what object is

#

for more context, the entire file
https://hastebin.com/olukiwonek.php

#

I'm not sure if I'm passing the object across wrong?

#

I know object exists, because I'm able to detect the object using getTextureName(), for showing the context items at all

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

the function called by your world context menu entry gets passed more then 1 argument

#

worldobjects, square, player

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

there's something I'm really not understanding about passing arguments in LUA.. Might be the example I've taken it from (defecation mod)

#

A working example, uses this line
context:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_Shower"), worldObjects, ShowerWash, storeWater, player);
I have no idea what storeWater is, what it's used for, where it's defined, anything.

#

It works, though. and doesn't work if I take storeWater out

#

In my code above, all 3 attempts are a little different in how they pass the params to the target function, but all 3 throw errors.

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 1:03 PM

#

tip: finding the definition point for storeWater....do a search in the files for that variable, most editors can recursively search through directories easy....usually what i'll do is scan the media/lua folder for the variable/function name

#

but unless you actually need to know its value, you can assume its nil

#

oh i see your issue

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

@Ben I believe addOption basically works on a principle of addOption("Text Here", param_1, function, additional_param_1, additional_param_2)

#

When passing params.

#

So it always assume you are passing at least one param.

#

But with the added option of adding more to the tail end of it.

#

I think.

#

I don't know, I'm kind of an idiot.

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

your WalktoTile function the 'object' variable is a array

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

I don't understand why any parameter is passed before the target function is specified

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

A quirk.

#

On our end.

#

I imagine, it was made with the assumption you would always have a param.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

Ahh fair enough

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

Then realised we might need additional params, so the others get tacked on to the end.

#

My assumption at least.

#

At this point, can't really change it.

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

its a funky system for sure

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

understood, I know that pain.

#

Okay, so this should work then

#

startWashAction = subMenu:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_ActivateMachine"), worldObjects, StartWash);

#

worldObjects is an array

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

Yes.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

StartWash takes only one param

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

Yes.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

Still resulting in
Object tried to call nil in WalkToTile 😒

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:11 PM

https://hastebin.com/bokimujoma.php

#

Line 45 is the action I'm calling

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

Worldobjects is an array (well actually a list) you're calling a function on the array, not an item?

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

worldobjects is an arr... yes that

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

In this case, it's telling you that the function you're calling doesn't exist.

#

Which usually happens when you have the wrong type of object.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

gah...

#

I changed it local startWashAction = subMenu:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_ActivateMachine"), object, StartWash);

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

Not saying worldobjects is wrong, but you need a specific object in that list.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

And it worked

#

One of those cases where you've tried so many things, you swear you tried that.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

Hahaha, oh I see.

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

if i recall right... clickedSquare is a global variable while the context menu is active

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:16 PM

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

@quasi geode I know it doesn't matter, but I'm super puzzled about that storeWater param.
Can't find any instances of it anywhere in the mod I'm referencing, or in the zomboid lua folder.
Source is here, if you're curious https://github.com/rnate/ProjectZomboid-Defecation/tree/master/lua

GitHub

rnate/ProjectZomboid-Defecation

A mod I originally uploaded July 18, 2018 that adds defecation to Project Zomboid. - rnate/ProjectZomboid-Defecation

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

A lot of the problem is just keeping compatibility across all saves from way back in the day.

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

@pine vigil yeah, I see that. Serious suggestion pre-1.0: Drop compat, make new, extensible format.

quasi geode Feb 11, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

Ben it could be that it was never defined and not used...or removed at some point, but its the same thing as passing a nil

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

yeah, true.

#

I think my confusion came from
a - passing a param before defining the function
b - assuming the first param passed after specifying target function, was the first param the functions implementation used
c - being a noob.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

@cursive roost I think there's still value on people returning for 1.0, but I'm not opposed to it personally. Though bigger things that need to be dealt with I suppose.

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

@pine vigil announce it in advance, keep older version on steam beta branch :P

#

@pine vigil but yeah, more important stuff

#

#

cursive roost Feb 11, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

@quasi geode did iht once for creating the alexandria map. never again :P

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

@spark crystal I looked at that mod, does the function even get used. It looks to me, like it shouldn't work.

#

Remind me why you're looking at the mod? Is it just for reference, reverse engineering?

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

It works at least to some extent.
I've been looking at that mod because it does a lot of similar things to a mod I'm trying to create (Hygiene, the need to shower, etc)

#

tbh, I've never used the defecation mod, don't like the idea, or know if it works fully.

#

But the idea of adding a new window, with a value that builds up over time, that can be reduced again by using some in game tile, is the core concept of what I need to build up dirt, and wash away with showers.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:27 PM

#

Right.

#

I was just curious, so I peeked at the mod code, and as far as I can tell that function at least doesn't work. It references a param that's nil and does a check against it that should cause it to error out.

#

Strikes me that perhaps there was a bit of copy, pasting going on without understanding the underlying thing.

#

Might be totally wrong though.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

for all I know, the source uploaded on github might not work. I've butchered the code from the file on the workshop, which works as far as I know.

#

suffice to say, there's a lot of copy pasting without an underlying understanding

#

But, the more I butcher (and deviate from the original), the more I start to understand.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

Nothing wrong with it, if you're learning and making something but just something that stood out to me in the original mod files.

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

Yeah.
That's the risk, if I'm trying to learn off of broken or bad code, I'm not learning very well 😛

@pine vigil "Or you could see if just using OnZombieDead event and calling getHitBy() on the zombie works, to tell you the player (might work, might not?) then just check equipped weapon on the player."

getHitBy() Returns the player???
if i check equipped weapon on the player and player killed the zombie with weapon in hand but stomping with feet... i think return true because can stomp a zombie with a handweapon in primary.

pine vigil Feb 11, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

Returns an IsoGameCharacter you can probably cast to IsoPlayer. IF hitBy is accordingly updated but not sure it is.

cinder coral Feb 11, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Panel shows most used weapon, hands is bare hands, found that out cause couldn't find a weapon so I just kept baiting and stomping

spark crystal Feb 11, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

I remember seeing someone's screenshot with a few thousand 'bare hands' kills. When I asked about it, they said they rarely attacked a zombie withoir a weapon, but they usually finished off downed zombies with stomps.
I gather that even with a weapon equipped, a stomp kill counts as bare hands

cinder coral Feb 12, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

That's...actually a pretty smart strategy, you're saving up on durability a lot

spark crystal Feb 12, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

Yeah, that was the reasoning they gave, too

wild gazelle Feb 12, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

Jaw-stab kills also count as bare hands, rarely use anything but hunting knives. If more than one zombie push then stomp... Or just stab them on the floor, really satisfying.

However, I feel there's a thing missing, that I need help with. I've abandoned the custom generator ideas for now, but I'd still like to make a request here.
I'm trying to find a way to add an old style water pump, one that farms normally have, but my tile won't work for it, I'd need a 3D object rather than a .PNG.

What I have right now is an image that I made by copying a picture, made it the right size and I can place it in the editors, but not at the right angle of sorts.
So, if someone knows how to make an old style water pump, at the right angle for a tile in the game, I could make it work just like a well and place it around the farm.
In return I would either create a house, with the tile makers choice of colors, and add to the farmstead map, or a custom apartment with color choice for the later reworked Stonehill.

#

Tile as it is right now. But I can't get it to angle correctly without making it look strange. Likely because of the original picture used.

@drifting ore You need a 3D file?

drifting ore Feb 22, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

@fast latch I think so, but I'm not sure. What I need is basically a pump like that one, but that's in the same angle as the game uses.
If I turn this picture to the right angle for the game, it won't look good, because it's a flat picture with no inherent depth to it.
At least not any depth that fits the game style view. I already made angled copies of this one, but it won't fit the rest of the art style.

#

If I can get one that just suits the angled isometric view of the game, I could easily swap that one to face the other direction when it's a .png file.

#

Even a screenshot of a 3D object pump, angled correctly, would do the trick really, because it'd end up as a .png for the tile itself anyways when used in the editor.

You can render it as isometric with blender and then export a screenshot

#

@fast latch Ah thanks for the help! I'll try adding that to the farm later on see how it'll look.
@nimble spoke Don't know how to use blender, barely have enough time to mod nowadays, thanks though!

@keen coral No problem

@compact flax You can override all recipes in your mod, or make a newrecipes that turns any of the other colors into the standard one

No, because I'm unable to test it myself. Right now there's a bug that doesn't let me host with the mod

I thought I could make a landmine type of bomb just by setting sensor range to zero, but then it is just a timed bomb. ohhhhh well

chrome furnace Mar 2, 2019, 2:39 AM

rip

spark crystal Mar 2, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

@nimble spoke could you reset the timer every x seconds, unless there's a player within a 1-2 tile radius? (in which case the timer ticks down)?

#

I'm not sure, but maybe there's something you could do with a sound, instead.
Whether or not there's a 'player can hear sound' method. Zombies would use it to attract themselves to gunshots, I gather?

#

Could make it a (literally) silent noise, that plays in a much smaller radius, and see if the player can hear/detect it (if method available)

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

It won't work as a landmine, it blows as soon as the timer finishes

#

the smallest radius is 1, which means a circle of tiles around the one it is on

#

not ideal for what I wanted

#

I'm talking about the standard thrown bombs, not a separate code to handle it

Do PZ servers still download the mods automatically from workshop? just created a new server and it doesnt appear to be doing so

deft eagle Mar 2, 2019, 9:17 PM

I think u need to start the server once, it will download stuff and after it's done u have to restart it

rocky wave Mar 2, 2019, 9:58 PM

yes I have the mods added as you do, the server complains that it cant load them though because the game isnt downloading them from steam

chrome furnace Mar 2, 2019, 9:59 PM

Just to confirm you have the WorkshopItems for each mod as that's what steam uses for downloading I believe.

mod suggestion/request : the character automatically drinks water is has any, how about a mod that lets the character automatically eat once they get to a certain hunger level, s o long as they have food on them?

daring pier Mar 5, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

@fervent bay character does drink water automatically but you need to have a full or filled water bottle in your main inventory and will become thirsty later on if bottles are empty

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

you can change zombie loot just like other containers

#

so you could add it temporarily to zombie loot and then remove it after some time

compact flax Mar 6, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 0.02);```

So like this?

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2019, 7:04 PM

yeah, but I think you need to include the module before item type if it is not Base.YourItem

programming isn't for everyone, if it is really too much for you then switch to something else. This is a game after all, it shouldn't be frustrating

text looks like this

and i know the texture would need to be copied too

the modder who made it has it so the locations it can be found is VERY limited

#

seems i may have to do more than just that, right?

nimble spoke Mar 7, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

what you need to do is to find the .lua file that sets the spawn places and chances, then increase the numbers or add more places

#

you can find it in media/lua

#

probably inside the server folder somewhere

spark crystal Mar 10, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

wonder if it could effectively make the condition of all parts 20% better if you're driving.
Higher max speed/accel

#

(as well as lower gas usage)

#

Or better gas efficiency

earnest quartz Mar 10, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

@nimble spoke type of car, check terrain type (road / not) if matches the type the car can drive on, how much you tap gas vs hold down (to drive correctly), gain effect better steering control, more likely to hit zombies / more damage to em, less damage to car in collisions, possible to zoom out of map more?

#

and while i pinged you, how far did you get with making new parts / car mechanics? didnt see that van you mentioned long ago with a fridge in workshop, and hydrocraft has a horse drawn carriage, was enough figured out to make something like that workable?

cinder coral Mar 10, 2019, 12:28 PM

Well, planes and helis might seem a bit unreasonable (I can't imagine how my computer would perform if having to show a bird view of the maps). Boats would essentially work the same as car, just with slightly different parameters.
