Theoretically one secret channel will get you drunk.

turbid pasture Feb 17, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

GZ Azakaela. Well getting drunk from listening to radio... but on the other hand, when you are alone for 2months or more, maybe hearing someone over the radio would have that effect. Need to download and mess with WorldZed, can you link the newest version?

#

What is "NVG" ? Dont know any mod with that name

#

@kindred bear well, if your mod didnt work, maybe thats the reason why there were similar mods created. And if you wont support your mod (no time, no interest, not playing game anymore, etc) maybe its not a bad idea, that someone else creates working mod.

I think I have the mining helmet sorted. it's very hacky, not my finest work but it's functional

heavy hearth Feb 17, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

ok this is funny one. I've created an Event.OnTick to track battery delta but it's not firing when the game first loads. the mod only becomes fully functional when I exit to menu then reload.

heavy hearth Feb 17, 2020, 1:25 PM

nvm. I'd set the delta function to a local. making it global seems to have fixed it

Hello! I have long wanted to see the passage mode, to endlessly and aimlessly survive, I’m tired (bored), is it possible to somehow add a campaign (it’s a passage that would be like in Left 4 Dead) so that we can “go through” the game so that we have finish in these missions. So that we ourselves can create them (so that there would be a list of user scenarios and a rating, let's say 5 stars, which would mean that the CAMPAIGN was done perfectly) For example, this will be a series of tasks that a player will have to perform in order to survive. For example: -: “To wait for the help of Muldro (or any other place), survive 30 days, as was said at the beginning of the game on radio or television, and wait for the following instructions, wait for information about the exact location of the US Army. “All these 30 days will need to survive and follow the news. Or another example - to recreate the situation from the film STAI / SWORAH, where the characters were locked in a high-rise building, and the apocalypse began outside. Purpose: - Leave the house, find the car (if there is no gas, find it), leave this place. It was a simple example, but in the message you understood exactly what I had in mind. Sorry if my English is bad, I'm from Russia myself, I translate the text through Google Translate.

nimble spoke Feb 17, 2020, 3:16 PM

@mossy island what you describe sound more like the challenges, maybe chapters of a campaign. I feel we should get mroe of those over time.

Does anyone know where is the code that gives xp for building carpentry/metalworking stuff? the menu tells which skill and how much XP each item gives

I thought it could be in each object's lua but it isn't there

Isn't it a base number for all skills?

nimble spoke Feb 17, 2020, 5:12 PM

stairs.modData["xp:MetalWelding"] = 20; old carpentry code used to have a function to give a base xp value, but I need to find where this line is turned into real xp for the player

some recipes have an OnGiveXP function. you using an IDE like Atom or sublime? can search the whole PZ tree

nimble spoke Feb 17, 2020, 5:18 PM

but it is not a recipe, it's the carpentry or welding build menus

#

there's no function name

heavy hearth Feb 17, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

there's a function in server/BuildingObjects/ISBuildUtil at around 183 which looks like it does xp handling. they probably abstracted it

nimble spoke Feb 17, 2020, 5:25 PM

wow yeah, that seems to be it, thanks. Now I just need to change that so it can also detect modded skills too

and give modded xp

#

how would one make it so radios can use wall power too?

willow estuary Feb 18, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

in media/scripts/items_radios.txt
UsesBattery = TRUE,
or
UsesBattery = FALSE,
You can have it one way, or the other. Hardcoded by the Java.
|| batteries are super easy to accumulate ||

#

Now, you could make new, parallel radio items that are identical, aside from the UseBattery parameter, and have a recipe to convert one from one mode to another.

#

But, without having tested it, I'd speculate that every time the radio is converted into the UseBattery = TRUE mode, as that will spawn a completely new radio in exchange for the old one, you will have a radio with a fresh, new, 100% battery, so it could be used as an exploit to create infinite fully charged batteries.
You could probably fix that issue with some lua, but that falls into "more trouble than it's worth" territory AFAIC.

📎 even_better.png

turbid pasture Feb 18, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Not sure if this minimised info is worth it. So no traits, time, zombie kills?

#

As for radios without batteries. I messed with it, when I went to mess with code and attach walkie talkie to belt. Didn't realeased the mod, because im still testing it. I know few minor bugs (placed radio when picked up again, shows weight, tooltip and name of original radio I used WorldObjectSprite). Didn't had enough time to test if it doesnt have other bugs.
I didn't bothered to add option to make radio use batteries, didnt see the need for it, but maybe I should add that. I use additional materials to convert from batterie use to grid. So that automatically solves batterie duplicating (unless someone needs batteries more, than ingriedients used for converting).

    {
        Radio.RadioMakeShift,
        ElectronicsScrap=2,
        Radio.ElectricWire,
        keep Screwdriver,

        Result:RadioMakeShiftGrid,
}```

does anyone know where what the code block to define an oven is? I can't find it mentioned anywhere in the PZ source code and I've searched the whole tree

grand walrus Feb 18, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

I've never managed to find fridges also so it must be something internal and closed off. It may be helpful to ask mappers, since ovens are buildable objects.

nimble spoke Feb 18, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

@heavy hearth it is kind pf a maze, basically set the container's type to oven should work for tile object containers, for vehicles I had t hack a lot more stuff in, basically making a whole separate system for it

#

@drifting ore it depends on what you want to do, a new vehicle is just a new txt script that is easy to modify, but you may want to make a new model or at least a new texture for an existing model

drifting ore Feb 18, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

yea i meant about a new model

nimble spoke Feb 18, 2020, 3:46 PM

Now in iwbums vehicle models use FBX format, if you plan on using Blender you need a plugin to export that format

I have no idea

#

if that mod tries to override vanilla vehicle you may expect issues

heavy hearth Feb 18, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

it's an addon for fillbuster's used cars. there are only a few overlaps to drive time it seams

viral compass Feb 18, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Thats one nice looking car!

nimble spoke Feb 18, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Filibuster asked me to make the mods somewhat compatible without requiring each other, at least in build 40. I'd have to check that addon to see exactly what could overlap, but probably just a few vehicle types missing slots for my new parts

heavy hearth Feb 18, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

looked like it was both the blazers and humvees might have conflicted so I deleted them from drive time just in case and moved the bounder and seat template into your mod

#

can't seem to get the capacity of the fridge and oven higher than 10 though

#

but they work which is cool

nimble spoke Feb 18, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

in build 40 capacity could only be defined in the item, overriding them in the vehicle did nothing

@abstract raptor I really encourage people to investigate stuff and experiment on their own, as if you just tell them how to do stuff they don't learn as well as when they take the initiative? Sorry if that sounds cranky, but it's kinda teaching 101, "give someone a fish/teach someone to fish" principles.
But if you look at the radio script entries you'll see UseDelta = , play with different values in there and it may have an effect on battery life.

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

ah thanks sorry if I set you off lol I'mma check it out -- if batteries lasted longer as part of my mod that'd be cool.

#

I'm not supes familiar with code, but I've been working with other stuff and figured it wouldn't be too hard to change a couple values

willow estuary Feb 19, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

Ah, it's not so much setting me off, as that if you just keep feeding someone answers they tend to not take any initiative on their own?

#

Like, in general, a lot of people express a desire to mod, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty of looking at the game files and experimenting with it they just throw their hands up in the air?
And, at a certain point, it's a lot more productive for them if they get their hands dirty and take the experimental approach.

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

I'm in the right spot here then?

📎 unknown.png

willow estuary Feb 19, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Yep, that's the script for Radios.

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

nice, cool that's all I wanted to know when I asked, I wasn't like... asking you to do it for me, I just didn't know where to look

#

I had an idea, but it was wrong lol

#

but I also noticed an interesting script

#

while I was looking I saw the zombie sounds scripts

#

theoretically, I could set them to play different files, but I'd have to figure that out, that way I could use the "BRAINSS" things I recorded the other week to make the BRAIIINS mod

willow estuary Feb 19, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

Oh, again, sorry if I came across as cranky, but like I said, I encourage people to take a more investigative approach with this stuff.
And yes, you should further look into that approach re the sounds.

#

Not to keep harping on what I said about initiative, etc, but, for example, I found that, when I was learning how to mod PZ, that other, more experienced modders became a lot more helpful and willing to provide advice etc once I had demonstrated that I had learned the basics on my own?

It's kind of a return for the effort thing; if I end up having to talk someone through the basics of stuff, that requires a fair amount of explanation and time on my part, whereas once someone had learned the basics on their own, it's a lot easier to help someone with something.

Hmm damn this is cool so according to this, if I wanted to make it add a new sound not found in the soundbank, I'd just add in file = media/sound/newfilename.ogg, over the event=

What if I just replaced the random woman screaming with the dude from Trailer Park Boys who shouts "WHAT IN THE FUCK!?"

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 6:11 PM

so I was able to actually like... extract one of the bank files for the Zombie Sound bank; don't ask me how 😛 (google) anyway, there were a couple of files in there that are different from the regular zombie sounds, but not enough to account for all the other sounds they make -- I've tried replacing the .ogg files in /sound/ before and that didn't actually change anything so I'm at a loss

Lol I do like some voice acting

#

If it were entirely possible to make it work-- I'd go to behindthevoiceactors.com and create a casting call for the characters in the mod

#

I imagine though it'd be like an overhaul on how radios work to get them to play a sound that accompanies the right text

tired charm Feb 19, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

Sadly it isn't possible

#

'cause the noise behind is pretty random and not tied to the radio

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

I bet it would call for entirely new code to be added to add more sound events on the radio that also check which broadcast it's doing

#

that's way beyond me

tired charm Feb 19, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

Yeah

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

But I think I found a work around to replace zombie sounds

#

it might not be as dynamic though

#

I just have to edit the script to play new sound files

turbid pasture Feb 19, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Maybe its possible to check if radio is on, and then check what program is playing, since its scripted for some hours, and not random. And them play music in background.

#

better cd players utilize background music, and new mod added, dont remember name from top of my head, creapy music or something like that.

#

Of course, those mods didnt needed to check what is playing on the radio, but i think could be doable.

abstract raptor Feb 19, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Hmm

#

WELL -- If anyone is interested, I'm willing to do the audio work

#

untill then

#

zombie brains mod is what I'm working on to take a break from Survivor Radio

#

Also I bet it'd be a bitch to get the songs to line up, I think I would like; not incorporate actual music into the mod since it's like a copyright/legal thing I'm worried about and also like I said, it'd be a headache to get the music to synch up with the lyrics

turbid pasture Feb 19, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

yes, syncing would take a lot of resources (to check very often). But lets say, every hour, or half an hour, and start music/voice only then.

#

@turbid pasture Thank you for the offer but I already "sorted out" separate translations issues that together were confusing me. Part of them due to me making a mess with languages in a way that somehow still worked in 40 but needed changes for 41, part still not solved but probably something in my mod's code

#

since my skill system works in english but not in other languages, even after fixing the language mess

turbid pasture Feb 21, 2020, 7:00 PM

I see. Is translation in mod need aditional changes to work on v41? I have seen where translations are in other mods, so know where it should go. But never tried that out.

nimble spoke Feb 21, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

I don't know if other mods could have the same issue right now, but mine seems to be related to how PT and PTBR translations were handled. I had files inside the PTBR folder that actually modified the PT tables, not PTBR. And they stopped working in b41. That is what confused me, I fixed that and the PTBR translation is working again

turbid pasture Feb 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

interesting. will keep that in mind, if i run into that trouble.

nimble spoke Feb 21, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

yeah, when I add translations sometimes I copy the files to the new folders and then translate, if you do that be extra sure you also change the language in the first line that opens the table

#

We don't have enough info on making mods compatible with different languages, to the point I had to ask the devs about what the file names should be and received an answer that broke it even more

@feral lion if I remember correctly, and its not changed. You set amount of planks to barricade, then press baricade on windows/doors. How it works internaly? Didnt looked at the code, but probably it saves variable with amount of planks and adds planks to an object.
For unbreakable walls, there is mod, which makes all log walls unbreakable. There is also sandbox setting that zombies dont attack player build objecs, if they didnt see or heard something.

I'm working through ISRadioInteractions.lua but it seems that when the TV is installed in a vehicle the _line variable is always nil. the cell it's in is always the location of the vehicle area but as _line is nil it won't progress through to the player checks

one thing I've learned this week though, the suspension code isn't up to scratch. I saw in the APC that he set the weight well under what it should be and with double trunk space, oven, fridge, 4 cabinets and 8 seats it has the potential of about 2000 weight units making it a tail dragger

don't need the car charger. just wire in the generator job done

probably best you grab soul filcher's drive time mod and have a look yourself. The fridge and oven have update functions which check whether to drain battery or not depending on if the engine is running or connected to a powered cell

nimble spoke Feb 22, 2020, 11:46 PM

suspensions and all the weight math is.... I don't know what to call them. The devs planned for their own cars and values, we are pushing it until it breaks. Same for fuel consumption, we created larger vehicles that definitely need to burn fuel faster

@grand walrus I was fiddling with a mod that I needed to make frequent changes to an item in the player's inventory and used the onTick with a check on the timestamp so it only did it once per game minute

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

The problem with OnItemTransfer is that you can look into containers without transfering anything, so it wouldn't update and would give the player the wrong state for all items inside, you wouldn't see temperature updating for example, I think OnTick or maybe EveryTenMinutes are better in this case

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:03 AM

@grand walrus it doesn't quite work like that. You can update the container moderately often with little overhead if done correctly. The contents will be handled by the games core mechanics and game settings on rate of decay the game will calculate based on the container temperature

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

so basically i can update the freshness timer based on the elapsed time between player interactions with this container?

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

no, leave that alone. just make your code manage the temperature of the container and leave the contents timers to the game to worry about

#

as Soul says, check out his drive time mod, look at his fridge update function and you'll see there how he's done it

#

so for you, you'd put the cooler bag in a fridge to get cool. when you take it out it's at minimum temp so your function would then handle over time how it warms up right?

#

the contents of the bag you can leave to the game mechanics to handle how fast they perish

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

There is a value that is given to fridges and freezers that will help with food, I forgot the name but you can find it in Driving Time, basically it tells the game that food inside decays in a different rate, all you need to update is temperature really, and the game will do the rest

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

like i suspected fridges and freezers differ only by temperature value.

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:21 AM

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Buuuuuut it has been some time I checked those things

#

Yeah, there is a property for food, but you can't freeze meat in a fridge because of the container property

#

only freezers have that property

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

huh

#

that makes a difference

#

i was thinking about a container that would prevent rapid defreezing and cool unfrozen food to a degree if there is frozen food inside. But it might be pointless if defreezing time isn't really tied to a temperature but to a flag

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

defreezing time may be tied to temperature, all the freezer does to to give the frozen status and keep it forever, unless it loses power

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:28 AM

it looks somewhat like cooking

#

if temp < freezingTemp => buldUpFreezCounter

#

something like that

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:30 AM

your plan for it could work, get the temp for all items and use that to determine the new temperature somehow

What was going on TV in 1993 that is actually recognizable?

#

damn

#

the Jurassic Park!

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Has anyone played with the new possibilities of attaching models?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

OOO yes I should add Jurassic Park next

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Watching jurassic park should give the speed demon trait

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Or stealth

#

Groundhog Day would give anxiety and sadness

#

a perfect movie for a pefrect situation

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

Hmm So, Jurassic Park, Groundhog Day and Army of Darkness

#

I'm game to add those.

#

It might take me years though lol

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

don't try too hard, your radio is bursting with content already

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Predator for stealth, and some survivalist shit

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

6 months later, and there are some survivors on air welcoming me in their camp. What else can i desire?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Full movies haha

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

my character can't really stay all the time at home watching them, sadly

#

damn 1993 was actually full to the brim with cult classic movie

VHS's need to be at hing

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

80'a for the music, 90's for the flicks

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

I made this one channel

#

213 play twilight zone

#

and then spooky static

#

that fucks with your mood

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Hmmmmm I think we can make VHS happen

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

@abstract raptor I was thinking that earlier after getting the TV working.

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

If you could get it to work off like

#

wordzed

#

somehow -- they create these keys

#

Like this 6ff21998-8449-4423-9d58-bccfdcc54926

#

that's the key to one whole script

#

but they also have keys for each indivual broadcast

#

so theoretically, I bet you could set it so that the channel didn't have a frequency

#

but it'd still have the keys to reference

#

and you could play them off a file

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

hang on, VHS plugged into the coaxial so they did have a channel

#

you plugged the arial into the VHS then passed through to the tv

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

I mean... I guess, yeah -- but I'm talking about how it works in terms of getting it to play the right thing

#

and not making it play on a tv channel unless you had the vhs tape item or somethng

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

that should be easy. A VHS tape can have modData attached to it so set it to a key

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

tv triggers to specific time right? it may be possible to tie a tape inserting to turning on a tv and changing it's trigger to current time

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

@nimble spoke I'll be interested to see how you get that into the distribution tables lol

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

I can export a file that'd just have one movie on it

#

so you could test if you wanted

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

serious question though to the car modellers, how do I get the passenger lights on the RV to light up?

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

should they illuminate insides of an RV?

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

just a nice orange glow would do lol

#

I've tried copying the window locations into the light texture and filling them in a bonny colour but there must be some masking going on

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

I don't think you can set up new mask colors so..... how would you control which lights are on?

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

just stretch the whole headlight over your window lol

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

if I can get them working by the headlights I could add a radial in I guess to turn them on and off

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

you'll need wordzed to open this otherwise notepad+ will do the trick

📎 vhstest.xml

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

And, glass effect may be rendered on top of all lights, you probably need to decide for one or the other, but not both

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

does the glass effect have any accessible alphering?

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

I have no idea

#

You're going into uncharted waters.... I know very well how that goes, nobody here can help you

#

This is how you died...... lol

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

F

#

I wish I knew how to make a script that could call upon the radio keys to play custom sound files

#

then I could get voice acting or even -- dare I say it -- actual music

#

alas without the Wordzed tool I wouldn't even be doing this lol

#

module Base { sound BirdInTree { category = Object, master = Ambient, clip { event = Meta/Ambient/bird, } }

like something like this but it'd check the current broadcast's key and play the soundfile made for that key

#

then I'd just replace event with file = /media/customsoundfolder/nameofthatkey.wav

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

I think you should post that as a suggestion for the devs

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

I mean, I just know of this really awesome website where I could find voice actors

#

for the mod

#

and I know all about editing audio to make it sound like it's over the radio and stuff

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

does voip work over the radio in mp?

#

the voice chat system might be of use to play audio

#

in general

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

@abstract raptor I think you'd be needing to look into overwriting some of the functionality in ISRadioInteractions.lua

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

stressed

#

gonna take a look see

#

Oooo

#

Looking at this might explain why I can't do stuff like apply drunkeness as a thing

#

Not seeing anything overtly refers to the radio broadcast key though @heavy hearth

#

see the keys here

#

📎 unknown.png

#

The radio interaction things seems to be doing a lot of the stat boosts and skill stuff though, that might come in handy

#

damn, each indivual line of each broadcast has it's own key as well

#

in theory that means I could either have a .wav to go with each broadcast or with each line so that it perfectly lines up

#

Music would probably almost never line up though

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

this radio will turn into overly complex karaoke

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

LOL

#

Now I need to add a Singing skill

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

sound effects such as wall muffling or proper positioning can't be done as well worsening the experience

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

stressed

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

can you swap the dictor sound for starters?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

?

#

dictor?

#

I tried a mod to swap out zombie sounds but it didn't work

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

the muffled speech sound when tv program is on air

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

I probably could if I knew which script that one plays off of

#

` }

sound RadioTalk
{
    category = Object,
    clip
    {
        event = Radio/radio_talk_0,
    }
}`

#

yeah if I change event = radio/radio_talk_0 to file = whatever/whatever/whatever.wav

#

and had the custom file to play

#

I could prolly get it to work

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

which file is this code in? isdynamicradio?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

media/scripts/ sounds_object.txt

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

you'll need to somehow create different events tied to your radio scripts

#

and tie game visuals to them too

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

how so in regards to the visuals?

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

there should be a piece of code that makes tv change it's screen image

#

but i don't really know where

#

also it's very hard to navigate my pc with screen keyboard

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

ooo adding in custom images could be a neat thing to do

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

creating a custom event would be a problem on itself

#

i bet it's somwhere in java already

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

Oh so the custom events are hard to do then

#

damn

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

Soul might be more knolegeble about events

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

I wonder; I might just put out a casting call and find some voice actors ahead of time so I have some material to test with if it's possible

#

people on behind the voice actors . com love projects like this

#

and do it for free

#

hahaha

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

it would be wiser to create a system before that

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

I'd only do like... a few lines just enough to test wit

#

then I'd make a real call

#

I also have a habit of jumping the gun tho

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

or you might end up with gigs of narrated Lebowsky's script you wouldn't be able to use

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

lmao

#

honestly I was thinking of only doing the survivors and OC material for voice overdubs

#

the movies would be silent cuz I'm a jerk

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

there is this thing where DynamicRadio.scripts looks like it's loaded from somwhere outside

📎 unknown.png

#

from engine itself i presume when it loads lua

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

hmmm I wonder how it interacts with the xml files

I don't know shit about nothing

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

heh, life's hard

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

all I'd wanna do is copy and paste the radio keys into a script and make sure it played the right file

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

I was just testing my brains sound effect mod and all the sound effects went off at once and let me tell you it was terrifying

turbid pasture Feb 23, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

You guys need to sleep. Or am I from different time zone?

#

I also thought about VHS. Mainly because, I spend a lot of time watching TV at the begining of the new game.

#

There are few possible paths. Either to make only tapes with shows or make blank ones too, and let player to record life and living and other valuable broadcasts.

#

When I was looking how to do that, I strugled to find how to check if there is electricity around. But seen something Raath mentioned about RV, so probably that can be used. Another thing, would be good to check if you are near TV and not have tv in inventory.

back in the day I had one of those for PZ too

but now its so much harder to do a soundpack

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

did they change it so much?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

It's just I think a lot of the sound files are from .banks

#

replacing the .oggs doesn't seem to do anything

#

so I tried overriding the files by messing with the zombiesounds script

#

but it wound up muting all the sounds

#

so idk

#

maybe I screwed something up in the script

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

maybe.

#

let us see?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

@grand walrus there, the rar has soundfiles and stuff too

it's formatted the same way any other mod would be

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

but where should sound_zombie be?

#

i want to check mine

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

in media/scripts

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

wich sounds are missing?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

I'm unsure, but it only plays a couple when a zombie spawns

#

otherwise it's basically muted

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

so they speak ocassionally, but there are no bite sounds as it seems in your video

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

well I didn't fuck with some sounds there are bite sounds, the timing's just delayed in the video because my computer is slow so there's latency when recording vids

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

zombie sounds from stalker games would be welcomed as a replacement

#

just thinking

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

but whenever a zombie does anything beside from be spawned, they don't have noises, you can install the mod into your /mods folder and try it out for yourself if you want.

#

I wish I knew what I did wrong so I could fix it lol

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

as a wild guess sounds_zombie just subscribes zeds to a specific events, wich play sounds when they occur on their end, but your version instead of subscribing them to new events just plays your files when zombie is created...

#

that's how i see it

#

@nimble spoke do you know where can i find module Base?

heavy hearth Feb 23, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

everywhere

#

what are you looking for?

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:42 PM

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

module Base { sound FemaleZombieCombined { category = Zombie, clip { event = Zombies/Female 1 Zombie Full, volume = 1.0, } }

#

Zombies/Female 1 Zombie is somewhere in referred Base i believe

#

or i am wrong and "module Base" doesn't mean importing but just the beginning of the new module...

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

on the modding guide I looked at it said something like that replacing event with file was supposed to make it create a new sound file and play that instead

#

So yeah

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

oof

#

I broke tha game lmao

#

I wonder why it affected other sounds that's interesting

#

probably making new files like... messed with it being able to retrieve other files?

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

sound AlarmClockRingingLoop { category = Item, clip { event = alarmClockLooped, volume = 3.0, } }

name of this event implies that looping is done by it

#

maybe that's the problem

#

all you need to do is somehow find those events and mod sound files in them

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 7:07 PM

I think they might be in...

I was able to actually look into one of the files, just the .bank one, not the .strings.bank

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 7:10 PM

they seem to be just a collection of sonds really

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 7:10 PM

I was able to extract and look at one of them

like i said it is

it had like

a couple of files, mostly .wavs, one was 39 seconds long though

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 7:12 PM

hmm...

#

drop your "brains.wav" in there under the original name of zombie sounds and recompile?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

I think the one I'm looking for is the strings.bank.

#

when I listened to the sounds in the first bank it was mostly stuff that I've never heard in game

#

or at least, rarely

#

the audio portion of this game is mysterious lol

but I haven't been able to open up the strings.bank one it must be

yea

#

it doesn't open the .strings.bank tho

#

I'm sure it could open other banks too

#

but there's no functionality for packing that I saw in the tool

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 7:23 PM

I remember a discussion about the tool used to mod soundbanks and how it was not working as intended, all I know is that Connall acknowledged the problem, you guys might want to ask him directly

#

I don't remember who the modders were

Or you may risk wasting your time with something they messed with before without knowing their results

might be impossible to make your mod working right now

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

dang

#

Oh well

#

I'll just keep working on radio mods then

#

I'm gonna make a mod on the side that adds more modern music

#

called Time Hacker Radio

#

And it'll have a picture of hacker man

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Can you update your radio mod description? Broadcast time would be nice to know also what skills which one boosts.

#

Or add something like a TV program as an item in game

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Ithink it was Fmod, I remember that name

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

It would be basically a note with Broadcast time of each channel and basic theme of those channels

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

I have a spoiler guide that does that in the discussions tab of the mod page

#

It's not completely up to date yet

#

But once I get the mod to a point where I think it's more finished I'm gonna update it and maybe make a calender

having something lore-friendly in game would be sweet

#

eh

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

eh?

#

I mean, for the most part Survivor Radio is lore friendly

#

asides from the haunted channel and the super secret channel

makes a channel that plays dubstep

no no

the mod is great

but the amount of radios makes it confusing a bit

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

yeah there be a lot of content right now. I'm prolly gonna trim some broadcasts in the future

#

like the russian mercenaries

#

it was a cool script, but there's only one broadcast and it only happens once so it seems kinda

#

meh

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

can i send you a script that will add something like a TV program in the loot distribution then? I'll include official channels only

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

if you have a script I'd love to add it

#

I have a couple rules tho

#

basically no direct references to a specific place on the map, and only references to things that exist from 1993 and before hand

#

I realize the big lebowski and one tool song break this rule already but... uhhh

#

oh well.

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

i'll try to make it as lore-friendly as possible. Yet there is that you can't put actual in-game date in a text note while spawning it

#

oh well, it'll look something like that:
today:
Life and Living - Practical Householding with Dennis Brown 6.00 - 15.00
Knox Talk - Talk Show "Around the world" 11.00 - 20.00
KBC - Movie "Big Lebowsky"...

#

you get the idea

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Ohhh that'd be hilarious

#

I love that

#

A TV Guide

#

in the game

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:28 PM

Ah, it's called TV Guide

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:28 PM

Yeah I remember those channels

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:28 PM

i've made them up right now

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:29 PM

you gotta leave 213 unlisted so it remains mysterious and spoopy

#

I plan on expanding that channel with more twilight zone scripts and creepy stuff

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

you gotta add some Tales from the Crypt

#

they were a blast back then

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Ooo yes if I can find the script for those that'd be a cool thing to add

#

I tell ya, if I got paid to work on this, I'd do it all day and I'd have mutiple full movies out already lol

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

i remember being a kid watching them at night

#

spooky stuff

#

you'll die probably. there should be a limit on repetative work like this that specified somewhere in WHO brochures

#

but there will be Lebowsky in PZ in all his glory

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

Yes, the mod will be considered FINISHED only when I get that one script completely in.

#

I think the Time Hacker mod will be more popular cuz like

#

I intend on just adding only music with no talking and set it to play every half hour at random

#

and have stations seperated by genre

#

but it'll all be music from after 1993

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:38 PM

well you gotta figure out how to play your custom music at first

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:39 PM

oh!

so

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:40 PM

if ive exposed that stuff

it's all about the inflexible modding system

inflexible?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

work with what you got right?

It's a possibility at this point

#

so I'm stoked

#

both for like getting voice acting and or just music

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

in PZ you can talk to a dev directly and they makes changes you need to mod, do you have any idea how rare that is?

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

its awesome

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:42 PM

inflexible?
well it's not unmoddable, yes, but there is nothing like minecraft or skyrim...

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

You can mod a whole lot more if you're not planning to release it through steam

#

Nolan used to have modded class files for his survivor mod

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

well, yeah, i tried it today with JDGui.

#

I made zombies spawn and drop stacks of cash on being hit

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

lol

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

but that's the problem of PZ modding system. you can only mod it so much and be able to publish it

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

If the devs allowed mods to override the zombie folder moddability in PZ would go through the roof and into space

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

^ that

nimble spoke Feb 23, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

but then again lots of incompatibilities and who knows what else

grand walrus Feb 23, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

You can make a solid gta/sims out of PZ with little to no changes

#

but then again lots of incompatibilities and who knows what else
partitioned overriding and load order should fix those

#

but still

#

i'm not a dev

#

well, i am, but i'm not a PZ dev

abstract raptor Feb 23, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

I mean they gotta protect their product, I understand and accept any boundaries they've set.

#

Like if they don't want me adding in music, I wouldn't do that.

#

but even more modability would be so cool and I think keep interest up in the game ya know

@abstract raptor i believe you can. Silencer mod changes an entire model along with adding new texures.

#

just cloning it with different stats is quite easy

loot destribution is alittle trickier

hmm, however it did remove the drainable type of the item...

#

I was trying to keep its item type.

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

you can eat half of it...

#

basically split it like any other food

#

but that's not a solution

#

well, you can make it like a package of candy, with a bunch of pills it gives when you open it @ember plinth

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

it's alright. i never thought about it like you can eat half of food. i always eat in one go

#

i'll just have to balance it. give it higher value

#

so it's 4 *10 since it has a delta value of .1

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

well i don't see any way of making it drainable and keeping your modified stats. It's something internal that tied to type "Medical"

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

40 fatigue is pretty op tho. i should revert it back to -2 fatigue per deltause. i was trying to get around the spamming vitamins

#

the take pills in b40 was pretty fast so it was bareable. in the b41 they somehow made it slower

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

i can make it like a package of candy if you want

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

haha it's fine if you do that it's the same problem. i'll still keep spamming the vitamins

#

i wanna get -10fatigue in one gulp

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

but you wouldn't be able to get -40 in one go

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

im trying to balance the spammy part. by changing it to -4 fatigue per deltause. i could get -12 while using 1/3 of the vitamins

#

i wasnt going for -40 in one gulp haha

#

if i wanted that i would go for the coffee

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:47 PM

while you're still here. ill go ask ahead with the redistributions

#

if i wanted to respawn stuff ill put it there right

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

well item distribution means containers you can find your vitamins in

#

if that's what you wanted to know

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

sorry i meant proceduraldistributions

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

ah

#

i think it's about spawning your vitamins while characted discovers undiscovered parts of the map

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

i was glancing at it and notice it's not the same as the distributions one

#

so not everything respawns?

#

only specific containers?

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

it doesn't respawn

#

it just spawns

#

as you explore the map

#

respawning (configured in sandbox mode) tied to the same distribution tables

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

ah isee

#

that was what i was trying to clear up

#

i was a bit confused because im adding some new items in the game

#

i wasnt sure if i needed to add them in procedural distributions

#

so that they respawn as well

grand walrus Feb 24, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

this might be some old code hanging... Just add it everywhere to be sure. or download somebody's mod with new items and see how it's author did it

ember plinth Feb 24, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

ok ok i can just do a simple sandbox mode and set it daily respawn and see if my the shelvees respawn my items along with it. i made skillbooks for character passives as well as combat passives

Yay! The soviet classic looks

I have this piece of code.
local option = context:addOption("Add about " .. x .. " mins of fuel", worldobjects, nil)
How do i assign my function
local AddFuelToHeatSource = function(worldobjects, heatSource)
to it?

#

i tried
option.onClick = AddFuelToHeatSource(heatSourse)
but it doesn't work

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

3rd argument to addOption is your callback function (you assigned to nil)

#

option.onClick = AddFuelToHeatSource(heatSourse) obviously wont work. by including the () your calling the function right there, and assigning the return value to option.onClick

#

option.onClick = AddFuelToHeatSource would be more correct.

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

3rd argument to addOption is your callback function (you assigned to nil)
@quasi geode so it would look like that:
local option = context:addOption("Add about " .. math.floor(x/60) .. " hours of fuel", worldobjects,FireActions.AddFuelToHeatSource, heatSource)

#

?

#

i need to pass heatSource somehow

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

pretty much. though if your AddFuelToHeatSource is only accepting one argument you'll have to fix that (i'm assuming so, given your previous pastes)
the first argument passed to your callback function is the worldobjects argument you passed to addOption, your heatSource becomes the second argument

#

any additional arguments passed to addOption will be passed along to your callback as well (though theres a limit on number, idr maybe 4)

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

so what it should look like is this:
local option = context:addOption("Add about " .. math.floor(x/60) .. " hours of fuel", AddFuelToHeatSource, worldobjects, heatSource)
and
AddFuelToHeatSource = function(worldobjects, heatSource)
?

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

function definition is right, but your previous addOption was the correct one
addOption( text, arg1, callback, [arg2, arg3, arg4])
worldobjects before the callback, heatSource after

#

its weirdly annoying.

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

ah

#

so i shouldn't pass worldobjects to the callback?

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

do you need to? I usually pass a specific object instead of a whole stacak there. but you gotta pass something for that arg1 slot

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

i'm working blind here without any documentation on those inner functions so i don't know if i need to pass it

#

all i can do is crack open what's present in game files and see how it should look

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

local option = context:addOption("Add about " .. math.floor(x/60) .. " hours of fuel", heatSource, AddFuelToHeatSource)

AddFuelToHeatSource = function(heatSource)
  -- ....
end

-- or

local option = context:addOption("Add about " .. math.floor(x/60) .. " hours of fuel", worldobjects, AddFuelToHeatSource, heatsource)

AddFuelToHeatSource = function(worldobjects, heatSource)
  -- ....
end

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

ah

#

i see

#

can you add this in your guide somewhere?

#

it really lacks references such as this one

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

when i find the time to get back to working on it. context menus are on the todo list

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Yass! It finally works as it should

quasi geode Feb 25, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

guide updates are low priority for me atm though, time is limited and too many tasks other on my list 😐

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

i managed to merge three campfire mods together and improve the code fair bit

#

Thank you wolf.

#

@heavy hearth can i have your permission to post my mod that features your Better Refuilling fires with my improvements to your code?

heavy hearth Feb 25, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

way aye. That's geordie for yes

grand walrus Feb 25, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

alrighty, there is only Cremation guy left

abstract raptor Feb 25, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

you guys

#

Turbo helped me get the radio to make

#

... SOUND

#

using drunkenness

#

🙂

drifting ore Feb 25, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Does that mean we can now have the CBT Wikipedia article playing in game? Nice

abstract raptor Feb 25, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

It means I can put voice acting and music into my mod

drifting ore Feb 25, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

...and add the cbt article? spiffo

abstract raptor Feb 25, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

do I wanna know what CBT is ?

#

right now though player movement causes the music to stutter so I won't be adding it to the mod just yert

#

*yet

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

anyone have exp with modding the combat. like make the animations faster

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

well i found out which file to edit for making animations faster..

grand walrus Feb 26, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

can you accelerate pushing biting zed away animation a bit?

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

yeah everything is there

#

but it's more of a clientside modding

#

im not sure if you can mod .x files

#

using the mod template

#

i discovered that the Jaw_Stab animation isnt the one being used in iwbums. the weapons.txt has the knives using the jaw_stab but when i editted the animation file for it it didn't do anything. it could be that it's for the older build. but the iwbums is using attackknife01_crithit animation

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

not sure if it was intentional tho.. i was trying to buff bare hands maxhit from 3 to 4. but it wasn't doing anything from the files. i discovered as well that you wont be pushing more than 1 zombie without a weapon equipped.

grand walrus Feb 26, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

huh, it kinda makes sense

#

with older build it was too good

#

it was like zeds were weightless

#

but going from stab to crit-based system is a surprise to me

#

i was wondering why is it so inconsistent

turbid pasture Feb 26, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

I dont think its only crit for stabs. I think range has a lot of thing to do with it. I have way more chance to jabstab if i move closer to stunned zombie.

#

What difference would it give if bare hands did 4 dmg instead of 3? How much hp zombies have on average?
