Well... You could cheat it with checking a container, if the container contains a kitchen knife then giving it a certain percentage chance to swap it out for one of the variants.

I think that's an oversight at the moment. XD
I'd say actually posting about that in the bug reports.
sick thistle
So-so i do a bit of hobbyist programming so im pretty quick to learn programming languages
light magnet
function KitchenKnifeVariant(_object)
end
Events.OnContainerUpdate.Add(KitchenKnifeVariant);
This would be how you start it off to check for the knife.
sick thistle
I used to do a lot of php and mysql stuff before i started my current career path lol
But since then i dont do nearly as much
light magnet
You'd need to check that it contains a kitchen knife and then also add a moddata flag to the container to show that it has already been checked, else kitchen knives will continue swapping and changing. 😂
Though this may be a bit of a long way round to doing it. 😅
Another thing I'd suggest it subscribing to Hydrocraft and browsing through their scripts and using it to learn how to add items better to the table.

No prob! I gotta get ready for work now, so I can't be of much more help I'm afraid, 😓 but I hope I set you on the right track.

Hi! Do you guys know how to create java instance in lua? For example I want to create instance of Vector2
spark crystal
Why does it need to be a Java vector 2? Why not just use an object with lua
karmic drift
I'll need it here (for example)
if (PolygonalMap2.instance.intersectLineWithVehicle(this.x, this.y, this.x + this.angle.x * 4.0F, this.y + this.angle.y * 4.0F, baseVehicle, tempVector2) { ... }
Forgive me, lua is not my strong suit -
But, as the variable isn't strongly typed, couldn't you just make an object such as
myVector2 = {}
myVector2.x = "x value"
myVector2.y = "y value"
and pass myVector2 in place?
myVector2{
x = "x value",
y = "y value"
}

@rotund walrus made a post about mannequins giving you panic.
My idea is
have mannequins panic moodles based on you seeing them for the first time after being obstructed by door, calculated by 'time from when they left fog of war' and distance from you
Is it doable?
so if you open a door to a mannequin really close you'll go "OH CRAP", but if they're far away or in the open it's pretty obvious
bonus points if it takes light levels into account

light magnet
I would think so as well, but that's an easy thing to verify. Just basing it on what I've seen in the game's current recipes.
Try that first and then add the minus if it does the opposite, or do the reverse, your choice. :3

rotund walrus
Hey, how do I modify an item's use time?
light magnet
Time: (Time it takes),
Yip!
Bleh... Been examining Hydrocraft, and the way they seem to do the video game playing is that they add an item which is then picked up by a lua script which then changes the boredom and removes the secret stat changer item... I don't think it's possible without that workaround or turning the video game into a book.
rotund walrus
Yeah, I've decided to try making a re-readable book. ^_^'
Suppose I could just put "ReplaceOnUse" on them...
But eh, I want to make a separate book that takes forever to read.
So, uh...

{
item PathBook
{
Weight = 0.5,
Type = Literature,
DisplayName = Choose Your Path,
Icon = Book,
UnhappyChange = -50,
StressChange = -50,
BoredomChange = -50,
ReplaceOnUse = PathBook,
Time = 300,
}
Like that?
Yeah, didn't work. 😦
I mean it did, but I read it way too fast. 😦

@light magnet so ive got most of my knives stuff working but do you have any idea how to alter procedural lists? Still having issues with the vanilla knife showin up
Didnt have much luck just overwriting the vanilla either, lmk if you know how to do that, but rn i just have a copy spawned through moreknives.kitchenknife
light magnet
You'll need to make a lua file for table insertion, something like this:
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["ROOMDEFINITION"]["CONTAINERTYPE"].items, "YOURKNIFE");
All caps stuff is the ones you'd change to the appropriate name.
Might also need to include:
require "Items/SuburbsDistributions"
In your LUA file, but I'm not sure.
sick thistle
Afaik the kitchen dishes def is in proceduraldistribution.lua, could i alter it in there or do i have to go through suburbsdistribution
Line 2462 handles kitchen > counter in distributions and line 1218 is kitchendishes
light magnet
Hmm... I'm not sure, I've never actually tried any of that before. 😅
That said, I'd never recommend altering the base game stuff, make sure it's all in a mod.
sick thistle
Oh yeah for sure, thats a given
light magnet
But so long as it contains the RoomDef that you want, then it would be best to insert it there instead. 👌
sick thistle
Lets see if this works lol, trying a quick table.remove too
Think table.remove(proceduraldistributions[kitchendishes], [kitchdnknife]) will work or am i way off? My internet went down so im trynna look shit up on my phone lol.
Oof no luck, first house still has the knife. Me sad.
Trying suburbsdistro now instead
light magnet
The "P" and "D" of ProceduralDistributions needs to be capitalized.
As does the "S" and "D" of SuburbsDistribution.
sick thistle
Yeah ive got it that way, im just on discord on my phone lol
Comcast internet went out like all over our city an hour ago :(

I blame zombies. Society is quickly falling flat. Start nailing boards to your window.

So with the insert type stuff i assume [] works kind of like a search function? Or does it just straight up overwrite anything that matches?

Once the build 41 tools are released, do you think modders will be able to add thin and fat people depending on your character’s weight, and kids and elderly etc. ?
craggy furnace
no
they said they would look at heights and weights
but kids are a very hard no
flint gorge
Isn’t that the developers who said that, for the base game?
spark crystal
Yes
flint gorge
I’m talking about mods
nimble spoke
well, if they allow characters to have different heights and things like that modding kids shouldn't be hard
jagged sentinel
You need to make every model compatible with every piece of clothing anim that sort of stuff
flint gorge
I guess you could have kid-specific clothing and a few weapons they could hold, elderly would mostly be visual changes to the textures I think
sick thistle
The issue with kids in games that involve death is tied to the esrb
nimble spoke
if height is handled by just applying a modifier to the base model then that would not be needed
flint gorge
Yeah but we’re talking about mods
nimble spoke
it all depends on how the devs code it
feral eagle
NMRiH had child zombies. But chances are NMRiH 2 will exclude them entirely going forward with publishing & sales.
feral eagle

But with NMRIH2 being not F2P. They’ll have to be more careful

So hey, I downloaded the Blood Cure mod, and was thinking of poking around in its code.
There's apparently an error in Line 6 here. How do I fix it? 🤔
require 'Items/SuburbsDistributions'
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medclinic"]["counter"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCureMag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medclinic"]["counter"].items, 0.4);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicalstorage"]["all"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCureMag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicalstorage"]["all"].items, 0.4);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medical"]["counter"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCureMag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medical"]["counter"].items, 0.4);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicaloffice"]["counter"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCureMag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicaloffice"]["counter"].items, 0.4);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["pharmacy"]["shelves"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCureMag");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["pharmacy"]["shelves"].items, 0.4);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medclinic"]["counter"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCure");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medclinic"]["counter"].items, 0.2);
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicaloffice"]["counter"].items, "PZBloodCure.BloodCure");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["medicaloffice"]["counter"].items, 0.2);
Is it because of the ["all"].items part? I'm confused.
nimble spoke
some spawn tables no longer exist, remove them and it will work
nimble spoke
find the tables that were removed and delete all lines that insert values in them, that's why many item mods won't work with iwbums version right now
rotund walrus
Hmm... you're speaking to a Coding Caveman here. ^_^'
What program would you recommend I use to find the removed tables? I'm currently using Notepad++.
nimble spoke
you can use that, open zomboid's media/lua/server/items/distributions.lua
rotund walrus
Aight, thanks! ^_^
nimble spoke
then search for medicalstorage, medclinic and so on, some of them won't be there anymore, or sometimes, the table inside those, like shelves, counter and so on
but if you know the line with the error, delete that one with the item name, and then the next one with a number that is the item's spawn chance
then it may show an error if another table was removed
I was surprised devs didn't keep the old tables just for the sake of not breaking mods, they must have had a good reason for that
rotund walrus
Hmm... I see medicalstorage, but I don't see "all" inside it. Only "counter" and "metal_shelves".
What if I replaced "all" with either "counter" or "metal_shelves"?
Would that likely fix it?
nimble spoke
that will work too
nimble spoke
some new tables actually don't have any items listed in them, they call for a series of tables from another file, that is ProceduralDistributions, those need a different line of code if you want to add items in them
was that the only bugged table? you're lucky
rotund walrus
Yeah. Just a small fix is all it took. Thanks again, Filch! ^_^
nimble spoke
no problem, have fun
rotund walrus
Thanks! Sure will! 😄
... Wonder if I should send the updated file to the original mod owner on Steam...

I need to get back to what I was doing before heading to bed. take a look at that grass time adction, and maybe you can find or ask about how to get the name of a world tile. For the most part, these all seem to take the same form of script. Dr. Oids Arcade Machine, Kaboom Arcade Machine are the names of the two machines. So you'd need your script to check for these two names, then do the action you want.

Does anyone know how to spawn npc?
local npc = getWorld():CreateRandomSurvivor(desc, square, nil)
That code creates survivor with broken hit animation and broken.. m.. death: the game crashes every time an npc dies
local npc = IsoPlayer.new(getWorld():getCell(), desc, square:getX(), square:getY(), z, false)
npc:setBlockMovement(true)
And this piece of code will spawn a player whom I cannot make move. If I just remove the second line the player will respond to keystrokes and move with my character
Are there any solutions to create a proper npc? Somebody knows?
Also.. does anyone know the maximum number of players on the server?

no like allowing for future trailers to cars and prime movers with a trailer
the articulation at the fulcrum

Does anyone know how to efficiently add items to the Distribution.lua to make them spawn???
I need some LUA help
nimble spoke
Check mods for examples, all you need is to use table.insert for the item and then another for the spawn chance
Most mods that add new items to the game will have a lua file just for that

Is there a similar mod for profession based spawn points?

think so
actually
i believe that already happens in vanilla
it's just rare
@prime marsh
i remember spawning at the police station once when i choose officer

Interesting. I seem to always end up in a busted down house or a nice house regardless. I'll keep a closer eye on it and roll a few to test it.
Thank you @fallow bridge

does anyone knoe how to make a cape in modding?
if someone wants to help me make opm mod
fierce oyster
yeahhh
light magnet
Clothing mods don't seem to be possible at this point.
You can overwrite some clothes, but full on new clothes doesn't seem to be currently possible. 😕
You could probably replace the scarf model with a cape model though?
light magnet
I'm honestly not sure... You can replace the texture files if you want, but I'm not sure about adding full on new ones for them.
Oh Larry, you rascal you! Never change. 😂
There seems to be an issue with the Fitness Instructor that messes up all that comes after them... 🤔
But the console isn't telling me WHAT is wrong, just that SOMETHING is wrong. 😫
Can anyone else see any issues here:
-------------------------- Fitness Instructor
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.fitnessinstructor.Female.Back = {chance=10, items={"Base.Bag_Schoolbag"}}
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.fitnessinstructor.Female.Hat = {chance=10, items={"Base.Hat_Sweatband"}}
OH!
I see it!
For some reason, Fitness Instructor is the only occupation with a capital letter in their definition. 😅
So the proper form is
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.fitnessInstructor.Female.Back = {chance=10, items={"Base.Bag_Schoolbag"}}
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.fitnessInstructor.Female.Hat = {chance=10, items={"Base.Hat_Sweatband"}}
someone wanna try making a "Cripple" trait mod? I would but A: school and B: to unsure of how to make trait mods
basically perma limp
and perhaps less strength due to the pain of having weight on that leg?
light magnet
I'm not good with that sort of thing, but you could maybe see if you could force the zombie crawl animation for the player. 😂
But it should be possible. Just got a lot of stuff on my slate at the mo with work, a new gf and a couple of mods already in the works. 😕
light magnet
Or that, but then "Cripple" wouldn't be the right word, I'd rather say "Old Wound" or something?
fallow bridge
no it's cripple
cripple just means a injury that removes OR causes you to not move properly
light magnet
Ah, I'm thinking of the slur for disabled folk, muddied my definitions. 😕
light magnet
But again, it is possible.
fallow bridge
just have a perma limp and perhaps less carry weight
by like 1 or 2
after awhile of walking it can cause pain

I can't really help you, but i know there's tutorials and example mods out there to look at. Try going through the TIS modding forums

i don't understand any of this...
he explains what it is and how it works but i don't understand where to even begin it all
like how do i make it perma foot injured so theres a set constant limp
i don't understand ANY OF IT REEEEEe
@grizzled grove i know of More traits i used to use it... but it doesn't have the trait i wanna make... which clearly i'm probably won't be able to make, i was hoping it'd be easier then actually fucking around with the games main code
yeah i ain't gonna try this... to much coding and shit for me... which is none cause i don't do coding
could somebody who knows HOW to make trait mods perhaps give this trait a shot? legit all it's gotta be is perma limp status and 1 less strength stat and it'd be golden
craggy furnace
hnnng
so close yet so far
@fallow bridge do you understand how functions operate?
craggy furnace
in a nutshell, a function is a block of code that works when it is called
craggy furnace
ok let me make it even simpler
fill a car with an item
call the car to bring it to you
this is it in JS `function thing(thingy){
console.log("this is a thing)"
}
thing();`
fallow bridge
i still don't understand...
i don't do coding shark xD
it's a language i cannot understand
craggy furnace
coding is just like any spoken language
it takes practice
they have their own rules, grammar, and structure

just takes time and effort. Modding is rarely easy, especially when you have a lot of new concepts to learn

is there a mod that helps with aiming range weapons? using hydrocrafts crossbow and i miss a lot
spark crystal
Are you using the IWBUMS branch? The aiming has changed rather significantly, and I believe at certain levels, will display an outline around zombies that you will hit/etc
I would think Hydrocraft is also wildly incomaptible with IWBUMS, too.
spark crystal
Okay - in that case - no there is not.
That functionality is now in the base game (beta branch, currently)
nimble spoke
I'd say modders are all trying iwbums, so there's not a real reason to work on a system that is already in game
fervent bay
so they all have stopped creating mods for build 40 even though 41 is still a beta?
nimble spoke
I don't know if they all stopped working for 40, but we will have to update our mods so they're compatible with the coming changes, so I guess testing them in iwbums makes sense.
fervent bay
i guess so, yeah
nimble spoke
I still have to work on one last update for 40, but after that it's all iwbums for me

i couldn't play the beta but will try again after a few fixes

yeah, I guess it will be a lot more stable by the time they enable multiplayer, and a lot more players will test it

Is it possible to make your own "Procedural Distributions" lua?
should I start it with:
ProceduralDistributions = ProceduralDistributions or {};
local ProceduralDistributions.list ={
Or am I doing something wrong?
light magnet
@proven turret I'm not all too clear on that side of things, but checking how Hydrocraft handles its' loot distribution is probably the best way to figure it out... 🤔
I'm guessing the location of the LUA file may also have an effect, though I can't be sure.
light magnet
Ah... Hydrocraft uses the vanilla loot tables and simply inserts their items into them, you can find the distributions in lua\server\HCLoading.lua
"media/server/Items"
You mean media\lua\server\Items ?

Ah okay, that would have been the mistake otherwise. 😂

Is it possible to mod a Base item to teach a recipe of your mod?
Or do I need to create a new Mag just for that?
rocky lynx
@nimble spoke Lucio = Pike (base game fish)
Pacu it's a plague fish of center america. Can found also in Argentina, Brasil, Colombia. (Some species transform from vegetarian to carnivorous)
nimble spoke
@proven turret you can override a magazine for that, no need for a new one
@rocky lynx I know, I know, that's why I asked, I don't think there's a place you can find both, unless they are both an invasive species
rocky lynx
its a lake in custom map
next i will do something with tilezed to create some specific fishing zones (River, sea, lake) to find different species.

that will be nice

@nimble spoke tipo assim? :

also i will rewrite a little the fishing mechanic, depending on rod, you can right click far from you to find different depths.
depths can be used also to find different species.

So, while I'm a noob to this it makes sense so far but I had a question
if I wanted to limit the occupation selection while playing on a specific map, how might I go about that?
heavy smelt
multiplayer mod idea
google traslator
I have a great idea, but I don't know if it's possible, this mod would be for multiplayer version. The player dies in the game becomes a zombie, after which he continues to control in a zombie mode limited to grabbing players and destroying punches and gates like the npcs do, so chances of scratching and biting, plus how much time you spend as a zombie you can increase the number of npc zombies for your horde limited to a certain amount stipulated in the mod itself, style the npc mod super survival mode where you can recruit npcs for your group which in my opinion would be great to have a multiplayer version with this zombie version, with commands for npcs zombie hordes like super survival but limited to such commands not to become non-standard, of course would be basic command like, grouping and ungrouping the horde, to also balance the player would have to be zombie the movement limited to a certain speed without being able to run over the players taking them by surprise, but would have the advantage of thinking, unlike the zombies npc, could catch players by waiting while hiding inside rooms, houses and so on. The idea after you died as a zombie would be great. You would start from scratch as alive again with a new character from scratch. It would be great for a multiplayer mod but I don't know if it would be possible. or even the game devs think the idea is cool and implement this game mode in the game! 
sorry guys
continuation
the commands would work just like the current zombies, if you were standing it would be as if I was vegetating, walking like a zombie would scream like npc to get attention, but when standing still waiting for a player to enter a room, you would not make noise, because it would be standing vegetating. 
spiral plover
Is there a way I could remove all zombies from a specific type of room at inital launch of the world, then never again?
light magnet
@heavy smelt It is possible to a point, but it's a bit tricky and your zombie would still have a mind of its' own somewhat.
@spiral plover Yip! Check out my NoZed mod, just add in a check of the room definition (NecroForge has examples of that I think) to it and Zombies in the defined room will despawn. You can change the function's event to add some moddata to a zombie so that if it's been loaded already, the room won't despawn it.
spiral plover
Gotcha, thanks!
light magnet
NP. ^_^
spiral plover
So I see the addTrait function and addProfession, is there a removeTrait or removeProfession counterpart?
austere shoal
How frustrating is it to throw objects into this game? I made a toolbox sprite because I was getting tired of keeping my tools in a trashbag.
light magnet
@austere shoal While I've never used it, there is a tool specifically for creating items:
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/21923-itemzed-updated-11b
spark crystal
unfortunately that tool is looong outdated. There's no easy new tool
However, it's quite simple to put together item mods - my advice would be to find a mod that does a similar thing, then browse it's files, study it, change things for your needs.
In this case, I would suggest looking at "Random Items" - they are alternative containers with different sprites - almost exactly what you want to achieve
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=757075560
You would...
Open the Zomboid Workshop mods folder
In my case, that's ...
E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\108600 (108600 shouldn't change, directory may)
Look for the ID of the mod, found at the end of the URL, or included in the workshop description.
Search the directory above for that folder - inside will be a 'mods' folder
Copy that folder to the directory..
%userprofile%/Zomboid/mods
Rename that folder to the name of your mod.
Make some changes to the contents here - most importantly the mod.info - so you can distinguish it from the original mod.
Browse the folders and scripts, it should be pretty obvious what you need to change, if you pay attention to file names, item IDs, etc.
In this case, what you would be looking at is the
randomitems_containers.txt - making your own version of that, with your own item/s ==> to create the item
NCRandomItemsDistributions.lua - altering this to suit your spawn preferences ==> to make the item spawn in game.
Follow Item IDs, file directories, etc, you should figure it out no problem.
@austere shoal
Although, looking at the item distributions for this mod, it doesn't look like an awesome way to do things... it's defined the loot tables for some areas on it's own, which would totally overwrite base game loot tables - so it's creating entirely new ones, not inserting into existing.
@quasi geode there's a better way to do this, right?

like PZ

spark crystal
I'm wondering if I would rather see it something like 30% faster, but 1 extra plank
Or not faster even - but 1 extra plank
spark vector
How possible is it to add extra hotkeys to the game?
Like if I wanted to make a keybinding for "loot all from the current container" or "stomp regardless of whether there is a zombie near you" is that something I could do?
spark crystal
Easy enough. ORGM and Super Survivors use their own hotkeys, in a way they can all be rebound through the options menu too.
spark vector
nice, so if I download those and browse through them do you think that would be a pretty good way to see how they went about it?
I guess that's a pretty subjective question
spark crystal
Yep.
Whenever I'm modding - I try to find something similar first, and then just change to fit my needs.
Good idea I think
spark vector
What about the in-game maps? Not like, the map files for the game, but the actual png file that displays on screen when your character opens a town map? Where are those textures?

@proven turret The issue is in FMJDistributions.lua at line 121.

@fallow bridge I personally don't like smoothed textures on cars, but it's also my style of texturing cars. My textures are a bit off the PZ textures, but they are similar to vanilla textures. If you don't like my textures and details, you don't need to install my mods so as not to spoil picture of PZ 🙂

I do love the effort you’ve put in
It’s just to much detail for me ya know?

MaxItems:4,
ResultItem:Sandwich,
Name:Make Sandwich,
}
it has the Name (what shows in game)
Max items (maximum of ingredients)
the result item and the base item ( the one required to make the sandwich)
then you have the sandwich
this is its code
item Sandwich
{
HungerChange = -10,
Weight = 0.2,
Type = Food,
DaysTotallyRotten = 6,
DisplayName = Sandwich,
Icon = Sandwich,
DaysFresh = 3,
StaticModel = Sandwich,
}
this shows base sandwich values
this is also the result item
(I didnt test what Im saying I can't confirm 100% but I think it's this way)
item Pickles
{
HungerChange = -5,
Weight = 0.1,
AlwaysWelcomeGift = true,
Type = Food,
DisplayName = Pickles,
Icon = Pickles,
EvolvedRecipe = Sandwich:5;Burger:5;Salad:5;RicePot:5;RicePan:5;PastaPot:5;PastaPan:5,
FoodType = NoExplicit,
Carbohydrates = 1,
Proteins = 0,
Lipids = 0,
Calories = 5,
}
this is an example of an ingredient for the sandwich
This is why I think your code is wrong
You should do something like this in my opinion
item Omelettes
{
Type = Food,
DisplayName = Omelettes,
FoodType = NoExplicit,
Icon = Omelettes,
Weight = 0.3,
HungerChange = -18,
UnhappyChange = 5,
DangerousUncooked = true,
IsCookable = true,
RemoveNegativeEffectOnCooked = true,
DaysFresh = 3,
DaysTotallyRotten = 5,
MinutesToCook = 20,
MinutesToBurn = 80,
EvolvedRecipe = Stir fry:15;Stir fry Griddle Pan:15;RicePot:10;RicePan:10,
Carbohydrates = 33.97,
Proteins = 12.82,
Lipids = 15.2,
Calories = 287,
} completely change this
you have 2 options
1 is to make it a normal recipe and not an evolved recipe. Evolved recipe is for when you want to make an item that can have different ingredients
This could be if you want to make your Omelettes an ingredient for something else

Just maybe edit the post and wrap the code in ``` to make it more visible. 👌
tired charm
Oh well I should
But i just found out his problem is another one
@proven turret I could look better at the code if you send me the whole mod. There is a chance another of your files changed the evolved recipes for Stir fry
proven turret
@tired charm Hii Xeno 🙂
@light magnet Hii Okami
@tired charm I can send you the whole thing if you want.
The Omelette item, or the Potato Pancake isnt a evolved recipe themselves, the idea was to use them IN a already started Stir Fry / Griddle Stir Fry, as Ingredients aswell.
They would be just normal ingredients. Like you have a Bell Pepper -> "Make a Stir Fry" , add the Bell Pepper, then add the Omelette, then add a Ham, and so on and on.
@tired charm But im sending you the whole thing in a chat.
spark crystal
@proven turret is that in itself, the issue? Is that even possible?

thanks. I see what i did.

@proven turret once I come back home ill like into it

if anyone is looking into it, @proven turret 's issue is fixed. It was some TRUE instead of true in the scripts folder

guus do you think it would be hard to tell the game to jump on top of 1 storey flat buildings? like the vault animation but it stops you on top
it would be very very cool against sprinters

It was some TRUE instead of true in the scripts folder
Yip! I knew it was a typo somewhere! Glad it's fixed. 😄
tired charm
Yeah I'm happy too 😄
nimble spoke
well, at least it is fixed, I checked all the EvolvedRecipe= for him but nothing
Never knew that TRUE isn't true

In my experience with PZ modding, nothing has more catastrophic results than simple formatting errors with the scripts.
nimble spoke
hell yeah
tired charm
Yeah
The weird thing is I don't know how a miswrote TRUE in a "isCookable" instead of true broke the entire frying pans and griddle pans lol
but im happy it's fixed
light magnet
When an error occurs, it basically pulls a halt in the script hierarchy. So I imagine the recipes are loaded first, and then the LUA GUI, but the recipes fail and thus everything lower in that hierarchy collapses.
You can see it when a LUA script goes wrong, it will work up until the error, but anything below that error, regardless of validity, won't be loaded into the game.

Do Someone Know Where BodyLocations.lua Located?
proven turret
Hi people I just got home from work.
I'm really excited to check my mod again after all this Feedback ♥
The weird thing is I don't know how a miswrote TRUE in a "isCookable" instead of true broke the entire frying pans and griddle pans lol
If that is the whole mistake, I feel I'm gonna punch myself in the face.
tired charm
Ok it actually seems that the TRUE wasn't the problem. And I have NO idea why it was working yesterday. Probably 'cause the game didn't load the mod in first place. I'm testing again and I think I've almost reached the error.
Okay now I'm sure the error is in the "Meat" section of the script_items. Now I just have to find it.
Okay I have some progress, the error is in SnakeMeat, PheasantMeat and LizardMeat items, not in the bodies
I just can't see it.
It's in the EvolvedRecipe=
Ok so it's fixed
the error was in the EvolvedRecipe= structure
I couldn't see it so I basically just used the vanilla one
I've sent you the mod in private chat @proven turret you just need to adjust the values in script_items, under the meat section of your meats, in EvolvedRecipe= everything is set to 15 now, you just have to put the old ones but be sure to keep the same structure to avoid troubles
light magnet
Hoi! Anyone have any idea how to unequip items through the LUA?
I've just noticed a glitch in my Occupational Items on Spawn where if they play an Occupation that comes with a bag, but then take a trait that replaces that bag, the original bag will still be equipped, despite having been removed from the inventory. 😕
light magnet
Ah! Right! They have the debug character swapping? I can look through that!
light magnet
Oh?
light magnet
Hmm... I've never had that issue... But anyhow, I'm testing without any other mods loaded in anycase, to keep unexpected issues from popping in.
fallow bridge
Ok
light magnet
But thanks anyhow! Checking how the Survivors equip stuff is a good start to do some learning. :3
if player:getInventory():getNumberOfItem("Base.Bag_WeaponBag") == 1 then
player:setEquipParent([back], "null")
player:getInventory():RemoveOneOf("Base.Bag_WeaponBag")
end
Something like this, maybe?
But how do I get the bodypart [back]? 🤔

Here’s a random idea
If you retextured the padded jacket into a fat suit
And then proceeded to retexture several other copies of the padded jackets as imitations of clothes
You could make fat characters lol

@nimble spoke could you tell me more about Farming Time's function? It sounds more like a modders resource
nimble spoke
@spark crystal It mainly sets you free from modifying the base files if you just want to add new crop types. There are also some new automated things you can set for your crop like making it go back to a certain growth level instead of rotting
You only need to add your crop to the sow seed menu, and the table with your crop's stats and my mod will handle the rest
There are examples in the mod for both

Ah neat, thanks 🙂

Hi.
An Events.OnGameStart event is exist to enter the game, but I can not find the event responsible for exiting the game.
There is an Events.OnDisconnect event, but for me it does not work - the function added to it is never called. I searched the Internet and found a 2016 post on the forum https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/17846-testing-for-when-the-game-is-running-lua/&tab=comments#comment-220050 which mentions the Event.OnGameExit event, but, as far as I understand, this event does not exist.
Now I’m thinking about redefining clicking on the Quit menu item, but this will not give me the full necessary result, since it’s still not clear how to handle closing the game console, ALT + F4 or losing the connection.
I probably need to look towards the server side of the mod, but I have run out of ideas where and what to look for. I will be grateful if someone shares their knowledge in this area.
fallow bridge
i just got a idea
so now that temp is back
we need to worry about having heavy duty clothing
but no protection
so
hows about a mod that adds like arm/leg pads to add protection without the cost of insultion?
you can put em on over pants and can't wear jackets to compensate for that
like skating pads/military grade padding
lemme snatch up a imge as a example
light magnet
Arm and leg pads insulate a lot though. If you've ever gone rollerblading, cross country cycling or played hockey, you'll know just how icky and sweaty it gets under those pads. 😅
fallow bridge
yeah sure
but remember
realism<gameplay
we need SOME way of not overheating to death every few minutes (exaggeration) and have a little defense boost
light magnet
Speaking of realism...
Just added Service Uniform for Veterans in the Occupational Items on Spawn mod. 
fallow bridge
like those pads
could offer a very minor bite resistance chance
but like a 7% scratch chance or whatever
light magnet
Honestly didn't know they existed in the game until yesterday when I killed a zombie with a set by the western camping grounds. 😅
fallow bridge
oh yeah they existed
ive found a fuckton of general uniforms
but yeha
yeah
wouldn't it be pretty useful to have some extra form of protection to compensate that loss of wearing all layers
light magnet
Eh, with the way the game is going, the insulation will always lean more towards realism. Duct Tape armor is very likely going to be a thing.
That said, pads and such should totally be in, I mean... It's the friggin 90s and I've yet to find a single skateboard! 😂

Silencer / Suppressor Mod (Build 41) Chinese V1.0

When will people learn that we can have all languages in the same mod?
fallow bridge
it's not in actual chinese @proven turret
the only thing chinese about it is some of the description
spark crystal
It's a PITA that people are unaware of it.
I'm also willing to bet that the chinese translation is untested on most weapons - and does not actually work on B41 properly.
spark crystal
I havent (can't r/n - I'm at work) - just speculating
fallow bridge
i'm using the mod rn
works perfectly fine
even has a suppressor model
@spark crystal @proven turret
spark crystal
On all weapon types?
fallow bridge
all firearms that support suppressors
spark crystal
are you certain on that? I'm a little surprised.
proven turret
check the code please and check the Distributions
fallow bridge
it even changes gun sounds
proven turret
and check the Supressor item on scripts and tell me how much noise reduction
fallow bridge
makes them sound like they have a sup on them
spark crystal
I guess I'm also a little surprised that you managed to check all of them in that time, too.
fallow bridge
i've been using the mod all day
proven turret
lol
spark crystal
I'm guess I'm just very sceptical that a translation is updated before the original.
Usually, translated mods are just a quick throw.
fallow bridge
from what i have seen
it makes the MSR700 (which is the loudest if i remember right) quiet enough to actually not be a death sentence
the radius is cut in half i think?
and as i said
theres english translation aswell as Chinese translation
it's all just one mod
the dev of it is most likely Chinese
the only thing that bugs me is he called it a silencer...
it's not
Suppressor is what its called
because it doesn't "Silence" shots
it merely Suppresses the sound
nimble spoke
in other languages "silencer" is how anything that reduces sound in a gun is called
casually at least
quasi geode
the silencer mod...theres a reason he wrote it for chinese..the problem is in pz's attachment system (and the default translation files)
in the chinese translations, 'canon' and 'clip' use the same translation...for some silly reason when checking what attachment point something is mounted to, it relies on the translation string
if you attach something to the 'canon' in english (like a supressor) and then switch to chinese..the supressor is no longer on the 'canon' but the 'clip' slot
the reason he rewrote it for chinese isnt so much to have a translation (though he probably could have just replaced the vanilla translation), but to handle that strange bug
basically the supressors wouldnt work at all if you were set to chinese 😐
spark crystal
Huh... that is odd.
I would've thought with revisiting the firearms code as they have done this patch, the issue with attachment point / translation string could have been adressed
quasi geode
ya so specifically he's rewrote the mod to check the clip slot instead of the canon slot
i brought it up once when we discovered the issue...its actually really problematic imo that is relies on the translation string instead of a hardcoded (or at least consistant) slot location
spark crystal
Yeah. Reminds me of a similar issue at work last week, where records were being linked based on name, and not ID

@light magnet are you using Blender for your models?

You know how you can dig a grave hole could it be modded to let you dig the same hole but as a trap? So 5 zomboid could fall in it and fill up a basic uncovered grave plot, and later with availability you can set the pit on fire to cremate them and reuse the pit
❤
light magnet
Check out the "Player Traps" mod. It has tile based trapping in that I think, then you could have it set that when a Zed walks onto the hole it is removed and the hole is filled slightly.
A bit OP, but doable.
