Make the test, but I guess we should be able to override anything in the mdeia folder

grand walrus Feb 26, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

having martial artist trait in this build would be awesome

#

maybe it will be possible to add custom animations some day so we can go full on Jackie Chan experience

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

What difference would it give if bare hands did 4 dmg instead of 3? How much hp zombies have on average?
@turbid pasture i wasnt going for damage but rather max hit. so that i can push more zombies away with the spacebar

turbid pasture Feb 26, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

more = more zombies at one push, or more = further from you/more likely to drop him on the ground?

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

changing the maxhit on barehand does nothing. also having nothing equip only allows you to push one zed at a time. i believe it should still be 3 as the older build you can push 3 max unless it was an intentional nerf. it somehow makes sense having a weapon on should make you push more zeds but what difference does it make if youre wearing a knife on pushing zeds so i kinda think its a bug

#

no just push more zeds

#

rn, you can only push 3 max

#

and i believe it's tied on maxhit

turbid pasture Feb 26, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

yes, i think i would push more zombies with bare hands, than with a knife

#

in RL i mean

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

ill go test with maxhit line with an axe. ill put something crazy like 10

#

it must be capped at 3. i cant hit more than 3

#

or maybe theres a line that makes the hitbox wider

turbid pasture Feb 26, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

it can be somewhere deeper

#

but I for sure would like to be able to hit 3 zombies with axe on apocalypse settings with level 10 axe mastery

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

i was just trying to buff the knife a little bit. it got nerfed so bad

#

a little speed up make it somewhat usuable

turbid pasture Feb 26, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

CriticalChance = 60,
CritDmgMultiplier = 3,

#

If jaw stab is only based on crit chance, then increasing crit chance would be enought to always have 1hit kill

#

but I doubt, that 3 times higher dmg is enough to kill with only 1 hit

#

i had damage preview at one time, and jawstab had very high damage displayed.

ember plinth Feb 26, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

hmm i did another test

#

it doesnt change speed on jaw_stab.x

#

looks nice. sadly it bugs while moving. I assume same is happening if driving in care while listening to car radio?

abstract raptor Feb 26, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

haven't tested in a car lemme check it probably will

#

right now the sound is playing from the player

#

I need to get it to come from the device

#

and also make it form queues so files don't overlap

#

and also so that it shuts the music off when turning the radio off

#

This is how it works right now

#

local function doStat(_statStr, _player, _amount, _isSet) if _statStr=="Boredom" then applyBoredom(_player,_amount,_isSet); return; elseif _statStr=="Unhappiness" then applyUnhappiness(_player,_amount,_isSet); return; elseif _statStr=="Drunkenness" then -- call to your mod function RadioWavs.PlaySound(_amount) end

#

which is in IsoRadioInteractions.lua

#

then...

#

RadioWavs.Lua

#

`RadioWavs = {};

RadioWavs.files = {};

RadioWavs.files[1] = "SurvivorRadio/rescue";
RadioWavs.files[2] = "SurvivorRadio/Jaytest";

function RadioWavs.PlaySound(_number)
local plr = getPlayer();
local sound = false;

if RadioWavs.files[_number] then
    plr:getEmitter():playSound(RadioWavs.files[_number]);
end

end`

#

then what I do is pop a sound file in a folder and assign a drunkenness value to a broadcast line

nimble spoke Feb 26, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

instead of player:getEmitter you can do vehicle:getEmitter for a raiod in a car

#

just remember to get the vehicle and pass it to the function

abstract raptor Feb 26, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I think there'd still be audio choppiness from that until it can play from the device itself

#

Turbo was saying a workaround could be done with playsound or something

nimble spoke Feb 26, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

a vehicle part does not have an emitter, but the vehicle does

#

but sounds don't need to be played from an emitter

nimble spoke Feb 26, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

I guess you could play the sound for the player to avoid the stuttering and also play an emitter so zombies can "hear it"

any help for modding dissassembly time for lamps

#

i can't seem to find it. i think it's on timedactions since it has a loading bar

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

isn't it in recipes_radio.txt? literally the first one @ember plinth

#

ah

#

it's radio

#

like the lamps in appartment rooms to level up electricity

#

i know we have fast forward haha but i wanna have them faster so i dont have to use the fastest timeskip

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

since it's ISO object you probably won't find it in scripts

#

try to browse lua folder

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

i was scrounging the lua folder i found one has dismantle on it

#

usually everything that has a load bar is in the timedactions and all i have to do is o.maxtime = o.maxtime/2. to half the time at the end

#

but it's not working on lamps

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 7:56 AM

i know this is a long shot but if anyone can help me remove the random knife stuck on jawstab that would be pretty awesome

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

i think it's unchangable with PZ mod system

#

it's java

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

haha, they nerfed it already so bad and then this. i was going for a challenge run with knife only but that was just too much and i already buffed up the jawstab animations

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

doesn't it depend on small bladed skill?

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

yeah but i rather dont have it at lvl 0

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

well, that's PZ. train your char and the game will be ez

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

yeah i guess, but imo i believe it's unusable and not even worth doing when the other options are FAR better

#

heck even planks are much better than knives

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

i think knifes can be solid at higher levels of sb

#

they're faster than hand axe with lots of crit chance and lesser stamina drain

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

i think it needs a better lvl 0

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

just add new free trait with sb level

cursive roost Feb 27, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

@grand walrus what do you mean "create custom m_GUID"? in-game?

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

each clothing item has a unique m_GUID

#

how can i create one for my custom peice of clothing?

cursive roost Feb 27, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

local random = math.random
local function uuid()
    local template ='xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
    return string.gsub(template, '[xy]', function (c)
        local v = (c == 'x') and random(0, 0xf) or random(8, 0xb)
        return string.format('%x', v)
    end)
end

#

that creates random guid's

#

you could probably adapt it to use zombrand, or seed the math.random function properly

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

do i have to specify this guid somewhere in game files so PZ would actually load my cloth piece appearance?

cursive roost Feb 27, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

no idea, I haven't done PZ modding in... way too long

#

I thought it was just about generating the guid string

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

heh, not so easy

#

and with itemZed being dead it never gets easier

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

it appears i'm missing something. PZ doesn't load my custom clothing .xml appearance definition, but if i'm using existing one it's all fine.

willow estuary Feb 27, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

The current PZ file structure doesn't allow one to add new "mod" clothing items that aren't just retextures of existing clothing items.
I'd speculate that they didn't want to be dealing with feedback/reports involving modded clothing items while they were/are working on the new clothing systems?

grand walrus Feb 27, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

Ahh, that's disappointing. I've made the texture and all that...
Maybe you may know from where can i access player inventory on said inventory update?

turbid pasture Feb 27, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

blindcoder, any plans on updating the map?

#

@ember plinth I hate knife stucking in zombies, but I also like that. I hate when it gets stuck, but mechanics are nice.

#

btw, I did some testing in game. I did 10-25 with knife stab, and 10k+ with jabstab. That can't be crit hit damage.

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

maybe make it a sandbox option when knives get stuck

#

it isn't crit damage for sure, it might be some mislabeling thing

turbid pasture Feb 27, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I would play with knife stucking. Heck, would play with few other weapons stucking with very low chance (axe, machete, katana, etc.). Would hate when it happens, but its nice. I like how weapons are shown on zombies too.

#

I think, that it might be not mislabeling, but code written in another place for checking jawstab

ember plinth Feb 27, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

well whatever the case. i just needed to find the file that made the animation fast haha

#

made it faster, works for me

@heavy hearth did you manage to fix campfires in "Better refuiling"?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

I'm about to make a few tests with new clothing items, what have you found so far? What kind of clothes you tried?

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

the problem is in .xml files. I think there is a system somewhere that loads those files based on either guids or it's own internal list of clothes or something. I tried bags and gloves, but i think it doesn't really matter. I didn't try to use existing guid with my cloth piece tho, it may work.

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

where can I find those xml files?

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

media\clothing\clothingItems

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

I'm using existing gui and so far the model doesn't appear on the character

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

blindcoder posted guid generating script, but there's no luck either

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

so basically overriding items work but new items don't?

#

I'm even trying a vanilla model for the new item just in case the custom model is the problem here

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

i think you can only use existing files for now. i haven't tested using custom textures with vanilla xml tho

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

overriding a vanilla model with mine doesn't work

#

ok, so overriding a vanilla model with another vanilla model works, so the problem here might be my custom model

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

encoding maybe?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

I'm going to compare them in blender, maybe I got something worng

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

i still think it's something internal to prevent us messing with this new system

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

I don't think so, because all they needed to do was to block mods from loading models_X folder

#

but then again we wouldn't be able to mod weapons

#

I'll keep making tests

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

tell us if you'll manage to figure it out please

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

they work too

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

that's very good to hear

#

i only need to find out how to detect player inventory updates then

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

why?

#

there is an event if I remember it right

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

oh?

#

is there an event where the game is fully loaded and player is spawned as well?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

OnLoad

#

Now I need to hunt down why the new hat doesn't work

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

and what about inventory update?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

inventory update should work, you just need to detect if it is a player inventory

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

no, i mean is there an event about player inventory change?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

I don't remember, maybe not for players, just the general inventory update

#

which should work

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

where can i look for this event? or every event list or something like that?

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

there is a class file that lists all events

#

let me check

#

LuaEventManager.class

#

you need to search around what parameters are used by each event

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

thank you very much

turbid pasture Feb 28, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Not sure if I remember poorly, or what. I know I recollored vanilla icons before, now I can't find them. Are they in texture packs? Maybe I used png's from website.

#

Where to find that LuaEventManager.class ? That needs repacking java files?

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

you can ctrl+f it...

📎 unknown.png

#

and it need decompiling, yeah

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

item icons are in a texture pack

#

but you can override them individually in separate png files

turbid pasture Feb 28, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Ah, i see, checked in zomboid/media/lua folder, didn't find anything. Sad, wont decompile, at least not now.

#

Ok, so I'm not dumb not finding png's, probably edited from website before. Thanks for clearing it up.

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

I couldn't find a file for the clothing items or their models. I have no idea why a new item won't work

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

nothing like clothing loader then... If your model and texture worked it leaves only wrong guid format or something like hash sum check on load

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

I made my new hat a copy of baseball cap with the same guid, and yet it doesn't work as intended. Icon is still tinted and model won't show up

#

hair model returns to the base one when I equip it, which means it is also failing to recover the model it should be using with the hat

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

it probably conflicts with existing one

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

so far the only files that seem to reference guid are the ones that set zombie outfits

#

and maybe the ones that list hair/beard styles, things like that

#

nothing that screams "you must include your item here or it won't work"

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

hmm... I've come to that myself but hoped you'll find something really

turbid pasture Feb 28, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

there was a mod in workshop with Glen's from Walking Dead outfit. It replaces existing one, but as I understand, it works.

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

isn't it just retextured varsity jacket or something?

turbid pasture Feb 28, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

yes, its retexture of something

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

I added my hat item and clothing entry to PZ folders just to check if it was a mod limitation and it didn't work, so it is probably not that

grand walrus Feb 28, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

yeah, i tried it too

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I went through a lot of class files and found nothing I could link to guid or this problem, so I'm done for now

Morning Blair 👋

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

@willow estuary ok, one more step, and it still doesn't work

willow estuary Feb 28, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

@nimble spoke not sure what the problem is on your end, but for me, to add new clothing items I needed:

- a corresponding entry for the clothing item in FileGuidTable.xml
- matching information for the clothing item in th eactual script for the clothing item```
And everything worked?

However, __this does not work for workshop mods__. Only altering FileGuideTable.xml in ProjectZomboid/media has an effect; having the same file in a mod folder does nothing. || I'm gonna speculate this is deliberate, so they don't get the constant tech support and feedback reports about modded clothing items while working on the clothing systems ||

nimble spoke Feb 28, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Ohhhh yeah, moving that file to zomboid folder did it

#

Thanks

So it is really a mod limitation for now

grand walrus Feb 29, 2020, 10:26 AM

About clothing

turbid pasture Feb 29, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

I think its possible to delete items inside trashcan. But script would need to check every trashcan in the world. And thats not very good for performance. And. Would also delete unchecked trashbins with items spawned inside.

#

I would make buildable 'trashbin' like composter and tie function to that. Or just burry the trash.

#

There is mod which lets you burn the trash. Not sure if its updated.

turbid pasture Feb 29, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

Anyone tried to do something with water coolers? Would like to have them refillable.
If they it doesn't have item in script folder, than it means it cant be targeted in recipe when lifted into inventory?

grand walrus Feb 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

maybe it's actually possible. Try to find them in debug item spawner

#

maybe you'll be able to get item name this way

turbid pasture Feb 29, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

Will try a bit later to be sure, but I think it isnt there. Or called entirely different.

grand walrus Feb 29, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

or you can make a quick function that'll check player inventory and print all the item names in cosole

turbid pasture Feb 29, 2020, 11:50 AM

was wondering why only soup, stew, pasta and rice can be put in a bowl

abstract raptor Feb 29, 2020, 5:24 PM

yummy

nimble spoke Mar 1, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

probably because those can reach higher hunger values, which makes eating directly from the pot, even if 1/4 more than you want to eat

#

a full cooking pot isn't really meant for one person

would it be possible to mod diaginal gravel, sand and dirt tiles? Is it worth putting some research into it?

They already exist.

#

Everytime I've tried putting in custom tiles they never seem to work with the auto tile/vegetation tool. It always states the tile number/image is missing even if I can manually place it in the world myself.

#

So I gave up on trying to make custom tiles for the game.

I was thinking mroe along the lines of being able to pour out a half amount for a diagonal tile and make my paths look nice and neat, not jigsaws

nimble spoke Mar 1, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

but you can make diagonal paths with those

#

I mean, if you make the options to drop those specific tiles

grand walrus Mar 1, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

isn't PZ floor building system kinda deletes a tile and puts a new one instead of it? that's why it's not possible to destroy floors you built on water or on the ground

nimble spoke Mar 1, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

yeah, but maybe there is a way around it

#

I don't know

willow estuary Mar 1, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Yeah, you could absolutely make it so you lay down the diagonal sand, dirt, etc sprites instead of the full square ones.
It would just be a pain in the ass to code in the interface.

#

Be way easier to just use necroforge and clone the diagonal tiles in if it's just an aesthetic concern.

turbid pasture Mar 1, 2020, 9:42 PM

don't think, that now somebody would write mods for v40, and while v41 multiplayer isnt out, that mod wont happen.

#

how alive time is counted in server? wouldn't be surprised it client counts that

willow estuary Mar 1, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Alive time is saved client side in b40, but would be server side b41.
Should be pretty easy to have that display on the scoreboard?
If you wanted to get really fancy you could even have the server log that info, and have a discord bot be able to retrieve and display it.

nimble spoke Mar 1, 2020, 10:19 PM

right now what I want to do is to change the character info screen so the character model is bigger

what do you guys think?

what else should go in that screen?

willow estuary Mar 1, 2020, 10:42 PM

Now that's something interesting!

I'm reorganizing the info screen so that top half is for stats and bottom half is for appearance, then I can move and resize avatar

Ohh, you doing something fancy with age @nimble spoke ?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 12:48 AM

Now age actually shows the age value stored, instead of the ever present 27 value

I'm not sure if age value actually changes over time, someone will need to test that

Can you make the whole window resizable and add button to hide clothes so we can see wounds and blood?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 1:27 PM

I don't want to make it resizable, probably a nightmare to deal with. Hiding clothes would be a matter of finding how that is done

grand walrus Mar 2, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

as much as i want to use this bar it's brobably not really possible with my 1024x768 display.

#

can you at least make character doll hidable?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 3:32 PM

that window is smaller than the skill window

but I could try a hide button. Right now I'm trying to add the rotation buttons from character creation screen

Can Meta sandbox options be accessed?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 7:04 PM

try media/lua/client/OptionScreens/SandboxOptions.lua

willow estuary Mar 2, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

Yeah, you can access and change sandbox options with a mod.

heavy hearth Mar 2, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

@nimble spoke I looked in there and couldn't see what I was looking for. Noticed that on the updated generator window that it doesn't seem to take into account the sandbox's generator fuel usage delta. If L/h indicates litres per hour and a genny holds 6 litres then my genny's would run out in about 22 hours @ 0.3L/H when in actual fact they run for about 4 days due to me setting the delta to 0.2

#

handy to see what's connected though and I can see if any of the exterior compound lights are off

#

I should probably put a ticket on rfor that right?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

That is the screen, values are not stored there

heavy hearth Mar 2, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

yup. Looking at the java class seems that most of the common settings have get commands but not meta based data.

#

but then again I don't know how often that site is updated

willow estuary Mar 2, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

You can get and change all the settings AFAIK?
Just look at a mod that changes them to get a code example.

turbid pasture Mar 2, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

you guys are talking about default values when creating new game, or changing midgame?

heavy hearth Mar 2, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

just getting a specific value. in my case the generator fuel consumption delta

turbid gale Mar 2, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

one thing I know you can do is make a new game with the settings you want then copying the sandbox file over

turbid pasture Mar 2, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

yeah, I did that. Thought, maybe its easy to change only few values. Now, all I wanted was to increase zombie amount, and also don't have electricity now. Fun thing, I listened to broadcast, and about 5 days after I transferred settings from another save, i heard "power grid is down".

Huh, so there is an actual age in the game engine? Crazy.
I wiped the age display from that window for my own mod stuff.

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

yeah there is, but for some reason instead of getting the value character screen simply slaps a 27 on it

#

not that it changed much so far, since all characters receive the standard 25 age

willow estuary Mar 2, 2020, 10:55 PM

This is what I did with it; removed the time survived and zed killing data for immersion reasons.

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 10:59 PM

It really depends on what your objective is, I decided to change it because I wanted the model to be larger so I could see equipped stuff a little better

#

I still want the model to be larger but I'd have to reorganize the hair/beard stuff

willow estuary Mar 2, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

Huh, you could put the hotbar organizing interface in that window as well if you really wanted to?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 11:11 PM

Maybe, but players would have to keep that window open to access the hotbar, not ideal

How do you set the pose the character is in for that?

nimble spoke Mar 2, 2020, 11:16 PM

I copied it from character creation screen, but I had to make small modifications to the UI model lua for that

#

Basically it received an animation when created, so I added a function to receive animations whenever I tell it to

willow estuary Mar 2, 2020, 11:30 PM

👍

nimble spoke Mar 3, 2020, 12:29 AM

it is a value used by the game along some other things like loot rarity as the chance it will spawn in that container, I can't really say what the chance is, just compare to other values

Anybody have experience with FMOD? To get the fast forward functionality to work I need to create a .bank file and I have the software and was able to do that but because the project file isnt included in the games files I cant edit or access any other banks so I dont know if theres a specific way they're supposed to be formatted

I'd have to check but several loot tables got their names changes or were replaced/erased. Are you getting an error for that?

Crank 0.85 up to something ridiculously high and then see if it spawns.

nimble spoke Mar 3, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

yeah, like 20

#

yeah, 0.85 is a low chance

#

most common items use between 2 and 10, spammed items sometimes over 10 up to 20

willow estuary Mar 3, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

Won't be visisble as a "worn item" however, you;d need to exit the outfits .xml for that.

nimble spoke Mar 3, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

should add to inventoryfemale as well just in case

#

you can also add it more than once to each

#

That's a very good spawn

#

what value are you using now?

#

keep in mind that if you keep testing it over time that spawn rate may be a little different

#

you may have been lucky or unlucky with the first 18 zombies

#

yeah, I know. Leave it for a balance update later, that's the best we can do in these cases

some items have optional appearances

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

@minor snow you don't need to test for every drop. Just do extensive testing and them count from there. Do you really think, that every 20th zombie should drop something? Thats a high chance. Lets not foger, that backpacks can be spawned from vanilla code (you also got that in your test, when you seen the backpack on zombie).

willow estuary Mar 3, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

And "losing 10 minutes for every value test"?, that's an unavoidable part of testing stuff properly.

You really gotta put in the time and make sure stuff works properly or else all sorts of bad shit can happen.

minor snow Mar 3, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

I mean it's not even game of chances

#

if I knew a specific percentage of loot, I would not even test

#

I have 0.65 for food, and it's good enough for make sense zombie kills

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

Yes, you knew its specific loot probability, but you said, that it doesn't work, when first zombie didn't dropped what you were looking for. Balancing and testing out takes time.
And Blair Algol said, that you need to test everything. And he is right. I have few mods, I know that everything works, but before releasing to public, would test it even more in every situation, intended and not intended use.

one mod can mess up other mod. I would try to turn off one by one. or turn off all, and turn on one by one. Don't see anything from your screen valuable to help identifying something. Something writen above is where those files came from, I think its vanilla code.

could be that, turn it off and test it

don't want to do that on current save? create new one.

oh also noticed, some mods you can turn on/off and they are added/removed from the game easily

but some other mods, even if you remove them, they will still be in the game, is there a way to force the game to not recognize that mod?

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 9:27 PM

didn't had trouble turning other mods midgame. Well, had some, but it was due to bugged mod, and not because general conditions. Had mod choosing screen broken, but that can be fixed by editing active mod file in save folder.

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 9:34 PM

from few updates ago, every save has its own mods. Enabled mods can be found: C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid\mods\default.txt

and save's enabled mods are in save folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid\Saves\Sandbox\SAVENAME\mods.txt

if mod has bugs, intended way (how Outcognito wrote) may not be available (stucks on loading mod list). So editing file is easy way around that.

but this Def long mod seems to include this already, if I add it, I no longer need the junk metal one right?

grand walrus Mar 3, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

you can have two lol

#

if you love the whole three types of saws thing

wet osprey Mar 3, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

I do love them huh

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

test it out, if it has everything you used from junk metal, then yes, less mods = less chances to brake game. after all, its still early access. and even more, IWBUMS (well, I assumed you are playing IWBUMS).

wet osprey Mar 3, 2020, 10:04 PM

oh damn this mod even includes obtaining thread from ripped shits, I have been using other mod called something like reclain thread just for that

damn this def long mond contains way more than I thought

Car Trunk Space mods can also bottom out your suspension.
And were causing cars to despawn before the vehicle db fix.

#

They're the jankiest shit.

grand walrus Mar 3, 2020, 10:08 PM

they fixed their db in .30 i believe

it became much smoother

and no crashes so far

@grand walrus how hard is to make an scrapping saw with the mod?

willow estuary Mar 3, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Well, they can still fuck up the operation of a vehicle when it overloads it's suspension.
So, good luck hauling an entire town's worth of loot up a dirt road when the vehicle physics have been fucked up by the trunk space mod.

and just require scissors

grand walrus Mar 3, 2020, 10:12 PM

why do you need scissors for that

#

just use the damn thing as a garbage bag

I don't see how one would craft a larger plastic bag with scissors only

grand walrus Mar 3, 2020, 10:13 PM

scissors needed to run with them obviously

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 10:14 PM

I added requirement for scissors for balancing reason. But now, scissors are usefull anyways, when there is tailoring.

wet osprey Mar 3, 2020, 10:14 PM

its for the barrel craft, you can only use the black garbage bags

grand walrus Mar 3, 2020, 10:14 PM

box one you mean?

wet osprey Mar 3, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

@willow estuary thats the thing, the settings are to extremely rare on everything, so I almost never find one yay

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

for water collectors, barrel, box, doesnt matter. Didn't messed with its code, so mod only changes plastic bags into garbage bags,

#

for carrying, thats a downgrade.

wet osprey Mar 3, 2020, 10:15 PM

oh yeah

#

never use plastic bags for carry, I like double holding weapons

turbid pasture Mar 3, 2020, 10:17 PM

I feel really silly for asking this but I'm kinda butting my head against a wall. Say I want to make a mod that goes through and changes up the weight value of base items. The way I'm thinking of going about it is just going to change the values in the vanilla object without creating a clone to overwrite the spawn of that one.

However in practice it is not working this way. Am I SoL and have to make a clone of everything and replace it all in the distribution list?

#

it's all greyed out and I can't modify anything

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2020, 12:19 AM

You either override the item in your txt files, no need to override distributions, or use something like the Item Tweaker API mod

minor snow Mar 4, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

What a best way to check my modpack works properly without errors?

turbid pasture Mar 4, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

like you seen above - testing testing and more testing. I also am messing with testing more, than playing. But what I learned, that play test is also needed, to test in other situations. So, if you have friend you plays a lot, that could help, is very good thing.

#

I like scavenging time, would be nice to use it.

#

@wet osprey yes, creating simple mods is very easy. Well, Zomboid is modding friendly after all. If you plan only to write mods for yuourself, then I suggest to make new mod and write your stuff in there. If you edit game files, or mod files, those can be updated, and you will loose your code. Would say, that recycle garbage bags is safe to edit, but I will probably update it with lua code, to check if plastic bags are empty before converting. Craft sacks also need that check.

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

oh thats good info, thank you
might need a couple more runs until I figure out what to mod

#

I think I've seen something like that...

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

now need to add some modifications to the spears Thinking

#

shit this is awesome hah

#

I know is the stupidiest mod, but feel so nice to be able to add a custom recipe hah

turbid pasture Mar 4, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

everything is ok, start small, and later you will create big complex mods, if you will want.
Adhesive tape into duck tape if its not 1 to 1 ratio, I think its allright.
what you want to edit in spears?

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

testing atm, oh I set those the same cause I almost never see a duck tape, and maybe I will get 1 or 2 adhesive tapes in a week, and the duck tape is needed to make better spears

#

so from a realism point of view, should be totally doable to still improve spears with adhesive tape

#

I think besides adding recipes here and there I wont be able to do anything bigger

#

the only 3 things that I would do if I could make something bigger are

barricade empty door frames/door holes, (like if the zombies break the door of a house, should be possible to barricade that hole, with like a bigger plank
have an invisibility item, (like you collect tons of blood in a bottle, and then shower yourself with it, making you full bloody but zombies dont attack you while the effect last, which should go away if you touch rain too
a better noise maker, less sound range and more throwing range

#

and also some kind of torch that you can refuel / a helmet that provides light / attach a flashlight to some firearms

#

but im pretty sure these are quite complex, so will just stick to adding recipes hah

grand walrus Mar 4, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

You could tweak spears recipes instead of converting adhesive tape to duck tape.

turbid pasture Mar 4, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

for personal use, I for sure would convert adhesive to duck tape, instead of adding ~5 recipes to make spears + rely on dev not to change anything in spearcrafting lua.
For public one, depends, but its easier and less chance to get broken.

#

Raathtuxinator is worked on helmet with light. didnt see it in workshop yet, so not sure if its finished or will be released.

#

You can tweak noise maker to have lesser sound range, not sure about throwing range, I think throwing is tied to game mechanics and is unchangeable.

#

baricading door way is actually good idea, I think it should be option in vanilla to do so. Now we can only craft doors and place it in. Or demolish doorframe and build a wall

#

invisibility item would be too OP. Listen to radio, if there will be rain, you either spend that day inside, or you know that your blood disguise will get removed, so you stay wont do crazy stuff. In my latest save, im on day ~20, there were only 2 days at begining when there was rain, and one of those days, the rain very short. I know, because water was shutoff on day 2.

#

It would depend on weather, but whatever amount of zombie blood is needed, I would for sure collect it in 15 days to cover my needs.

only added lua+recipe

#

i QoL the mayo. modded it to turn off expiry. it's like the only condiment that expires anyways

Try this

    {
        HungerChange    =    -10,
        Weight    =    0.2,
        Type    =    Food,
        DisplayName    =    Pepper,
        Icon    =    Pepper,
        Spice   =   true,
        ThirstChange    =    20,
        UnhappyChange    =    20,
        EvolvedRecipe = Soup:1;Stew:1;Pie:1;Stir fry Griddle Pan:1;Stir fry:1;Burger:1;Salad:1;Roasted Vegetables:1;RicePot:1;RicePan:1;PastaPot:1;PastaPan:1,
        CantBeFrozen = TRUE,
    cantBeConsolided = FALSE,
    }

#

I added last line, not sure if that works for food. Would solve all your problems

#

cant test it out now.

#

mayo expires IRL. And you only changed it to not expire, because you didnt knew how to do it. You said that yourself.

#

I dont care, if you add or remove something. Just suggesting to try different approach when you said, that you werent happy with how you did

before I would get the "easy" or "yeah, that should work" but now, no matter what I do, its always "I'm not good at this"

okay, thx

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2020, 11:01 PM

@wet osprey it depends on self.possible, but from that I can't say what the problem is, whatever should make that true is not doing it

so it always go to the else with "I'm not good"

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 11:02 PM

question can I remove this whole .lua file and that will make the crossbow always available?

#

because it seems all the info in this .lua its about inventing it

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

it looks like the crossbow recipe needs to be learned, but instead of giving it to the player, that code makes it so the recipe no longer needs to be learned, which would make it available for everyone in MP

#

weird way of doing it in my opinion

#

if you want the recipe to be available for everyone, change the recipe to NeedsToBeLearned = flase

false

No, there should be some other code where self.possible is set to true or not?

Honestly, you should just take this to Lactose? He's been pretty responsive to fixing issues people have had with the crossbow mod; he fixed something about it when I brought it to his attention.

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

oh there is the setNeedToBeLearn

willow estuary Mar 4, 2020, 11:18 PM

No, that's irrelevant to whether you get that "I'm no good at this" message or not.

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

I will, have been commenting in the crossbow thread before, was just curious if maybe this could be fixed with an small change

willow estuary Mar 4, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

Ah, Lactose seems to make his stuff more complicated than usual, I'd just take it to him.

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

oks will do, thank tho

willow estuary Mar 4, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

Or you just remove the entire check for self.possible there and have it act as if self.possible was true.

wet osprey Mar 4, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

let me check

willow estuary Mar 4, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

But like I said, that shit looks way more complicated than it should be, so probably best to just have Lactose fix it.

yeah, but is worth a test

what is this line?

is that related to the character xp multiplier?

Without the rest of the code that could be anything really

willow estuary Mar 4, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Yeah, dude, it's impossible to say w/o reading the whole thing.

And I'm normally fine with combing through code to figure shit out, but I'm not gonna deal with that headache knowing that Lactose can, and will, do a better job of it?

#

That's way more fucking complicated than anything I would make for a crafting recipe.

#

It makes my eyeballs hurt trying to figure out what's going on there 😄

#

I like Lactose's stuff, but they definitely do things in their own special way.

drifting ore Mar 5, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

That line seems to be based on your skill level in the craft. Kind of like how the books will sometimes call for you to have a certain level of skill before you can read them without your character spamming "I cant read"

wet osprey Mar 5, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

wait, but the only skill related on crafting is carpentry, or am I missing something? Thinking

willow estuary Mar 5, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Naw, somewhere else a value is assigned to self.multiplier, and it's likely carpentry skill plays a part in calculating it?

#

But like we said, theres a whole lot more than what you posted that is used by that function, so it's impossible to figure it out from just that snippet.

nimble spoke Mar 5, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

skill level would retunr an interger not a float, it would go from zero to 10

willow estuary Mar 5, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

Yeah, thats why I said it probably is used in the calculations to derive the value of self.multiplier? But since it being easy requires a low self.multiplier value its obviously not just the skill level being used straight up.

nimble spoke Mar 5, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

That is waaay to much trouble for a recipe

willow estuary Mar 5, 2020, 1:28 AM

Like all of his weapon mods have some crazy overly conplicated shit in them? I like them, and Lactose does a good job with them, but it's still crazy town looking through the mod files for them.

wet osprey Mar 5, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

just trying to wonder what have I started doing differently that is not triggering this thing

willow estuary Mar 5, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

Ah, Lactose is the only person qualified to answer questions about this stuff?

They've always been nice and helpful when people have issues with their stuff.

#

Could just be a change in the code with b41.30; that's one reason I'm a proponent of doing stuff as simply as possible, makes fixing stiff when pz changes less of a pain.

I'm pretty sure stuff like this has happened a bunch of times with that crossbow mod when there were new versions of the b41 beta; one time it broke reloading guns.

nimble spoke Mar 5, 2020, 1:40 AM

There's no shortcuts for doing anything properly.

Fenris' pinned modding guide, although incomplete is still the best resource available, and Fenris knows programming stuff properly inside and out.

Other than that your best route is to find good, well implemented, simple mods that you like, and to look through the files inside and out, and experiement with them to see how they work.

For lua code tutorial, it would cover the basics only. If you think of something new, you would need to get something from one mod, something from other, add, fix, add your own from what you have. Or check if something is possible to access through with lua in Zomboid.

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 10:00 AM

When I started to poke zomboid modding I saw lua for the first time. It's very easy to learn and you should worry about interacting with the game engine instead of learning how to work with lua for the most part.

How can i change original file's functions without completely overriding said file?

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

if its global, just redefine it. theres actually a section in that guide on doing overwrites

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

i don't think it's global. my file doesn't even load

#

well it's not defined as local either

#

i'm kinda lost on that

#

function ISRadioAction:performToggleOnOff() if self:isValidToggleOnOff() then self.deviceData:setIsTurnedOn( not self.deviceData:getIsTurnedOn() ); end end
it's defined like this

#

i'm trying to overwrite it like this
local originalToggle = ISRadioAction.performToggleOnOff; function ISRadioAction:performToggleOnOff() --custom code originalToggle(); end

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

mostly correct. when you call the original it needs a 'self' argument.
functions defined as

function table_name:fun_name()
end

using the : between table and function are OO format, and have a invisible arg self (the table itself)
calling a function ISRadioAction:performToggleOnOff() is the same as ISRadioAction.performToggleOnOff(ISRadioAction)

#

local originalToggle = ISRadioAction.performToggleOnOff;
function ISRadioAction:performToggleOnOff()
    --custom code
    originalToggle(self); -- << right here
end```

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

ah there it is

#

can i access arguments of the original somehow?

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

not sure what you mean. all the arguments intended for the original are getting passed to your overwrite instead (looks like theres only one, the self argument)

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

self in the original refers to radio object, but self in my file would likely refer to this file instead, isn't it?

willow estuary Mar 5, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

FYI, just in case you're trying what I think you're trying, radios only send/receive when:

placed in the world like a furniture object
installed in a vehicle
or held in one of your hands

You can turn a radio that's attached to a hotbar slot on/off, for example, but it will not receive or send any broadcasts.

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

no, i'm just dancing around it's functions a bit

#

to understand the whole mechanics behind overwriting them

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

your overwriting a method in a table, self doesnt refer to a file...it refers to the table that the method is being called from. which is usually a instance (or copy sort of) of the original table

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

so it will take place of the original with all the original's references?

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

if you call a function like:

ISRadioAction:performToggleOnOff()```
then `self` directly is the ISRadioAction table. More likely the function is getting called in this method:
```lua
local action = ISRadioAction:new() -- creating a new instance
action:performToggleOnOff() -- call the function

in which case self is the instance of the table stored in action

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

hmm... it's logical, So if i define my function as TableName:function it'll take stuff from said TableName?

#

and what if i want to pass something from my custom table?

#

do i define it as global or something?

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

now you've just lost me, not really sure what direction your going there lol. might be worth going through some lua tables tutorials if you need a better understanding of them.

#

defining anything as global should be avoided imo

minor snow Mar 5, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Will someone reincarnate FMJ Lockpicking?

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Okay. I have my custom table and pairs array in it:
`RadioWavs = {};

RadioWavs.soundCache = {};in the same file i overwrite vanilla function. Can i somehow putsoundCache` in this overwritten function?

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

put whatever you want in your overwrite. if the variable/tables are in the same local (or global) scope its fine

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

ahh so it's possible to make my stuff global

quasi geode Mar 5, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

everything in lua is global by default unless defined with the local keyword

#

that said, globals should be avoided, local should always be preferred. its faster, and isolates code and variables from other areas that dont require access

grand walrus Mar 5, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

but i can't access ISRadioAction's self in my table's function

#

i'll swing with trying to pass my array as global then, it's unavoidable basically.

#

though Lua is a little different than functional or OOP languages i'm familliar with

Thank you, SF. That's not really what i wanted to hear...

#

I was thinking about tweaking the damage mechanics a bit

#

cause destroying the hood on the lowest damage settings after smashing a couple of zeds is bullshit

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

there may be options to tweak that, conditionmax for example. Depending on how damage is calculated, you could increase conditionmax for hoods

willow estuary Mar 6, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Naw, Vilespring tried that for their apc; doesn't work, as it apears that damage inflicted is claculated as a % of condition max.

The good news is that the only effect that damaged hoods can have, aside from cosmetic, is to make engines less likely to take damage from overheating.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

I always thought that after hood is gone engine starts to take damage from impacts

willow estuary Mar 6, 2020, 2:28 PM

Engines don't take damage from anything but overheating.

#

And I've never seen an engine take overheating damage.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

hmmm

#

so basically you can create a mad max style vehicle with only engine, and wheels to squash zeds

#

Vilespring's apc would be golden for it, cause it's wheels don't take damage

#

i tried to tweak damage multiplier in sandbox options, but it's tied to dropdown list and can't be anything except 1-5

I tried a long time ago to do exactly that, not in a simple way because there isn't one, and it failed. Freezing items is java side of the code, you can't change it and there's no linked event or anything so all you can do is to constantly try to detect a frozen item and change it, very probematic

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 7:59 PM

on food there is daysfresh, and there is daysfullyrotten. When time passes, and item rots, then it gets changed to fully rotten. From vanilla food, I know icecream "rots" and changes to different item

well, when you have a total of zero days for rotting, item will rot pretty fast after losing the frozen status, that's what he meant

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

i'd like a proper food pickling and drying

#

how do i add effects to radio lines in wordZed?

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

oh the irony

#

she's away rn

#

so i'm asking here

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

She wanted to tech me, but I didn't had plans to make new radio stations.

#

and from thursdoid, looks like, that VHS tapes will be in vanilla at some point. Well, it was written DVD's.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

i bet they will be nothing special

#

basically like manually togglable broadcast

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

i will gladly search for tapes/dvd's with same programs as were shown on tv.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

but they're one-time use items

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

im not playing 6months later, but would be very useful in that scenario.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

get the xp and throw them out

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

it gives hella xp, if you have boost even more.

#

didnt managed to read all carpentry books, fast learner, +1 in carpentry and from watching all carpentry shows, I wen to 6 and a half levels of carpentry

#

so "today we will learn how to build stairs" really worked. A bit of bed dismantling and I water collector barrel is available to build.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

it's cool and all

#

but what is the purpose of tv after all the tapes are watched?

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

depends how it will be implemented, maybe some tapes/dvds with movies, you could rewatch those for boredom reducement.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

you're thinking very pragmatically about them

#

what about the lore?

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

weapon skill boosts, recipe learning.

#

But it wouldn't have very high impact, thats why its not implemented yet

#

but that could help with playing strategy. now I try to stay indoor, and watch TV. could have more freedom at begining.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

well, late game will turn into sims completely

#

stay at home and boost those skills

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

and how your endgame looks now?

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

i need those books sometimes

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

the longer you survive, more sims stuff you will need to do

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

and you can't level up electric and mechanics without electronics and cars

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

wait for the NPC's. I didn't play Sims much, but when I tried it, I remember that need to talk with other "people" in game wasted my precious time to min/max there.

#

I thought about making VHS tapes, At least what was shown on TV. Best case scenario - 1 time use, if you watched episode on tv, you wont get xp boost. So, later, you can read a book, choose time for your convenience when you watch the tape.

#

For leveling more traits (electronics, mehanics), tapes or tv programs can be added easily. But that arent high on developers list. If it at all is.

#

You using DLTS, Def included a way to level skills with DIY books.

#

And thats logical, Real life situation. I also had Almanaxs with recipes, and knowledge written in them.

#

Game follows that line, needing to read magazines with recipes, to learn new stuff.

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

@nimble spoke Feck. Oh well.
I had an idea to make Ice by using ice trays

#

I want to make a mod that lets you make ice cream, ergo the ice.

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

ice cream from what? milk? Adding more options to get milk? Milk powder?

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

Well, many recipes call for ice as an ingredient for a milkshake.

#

The mod I'm working on already has milk powder, among other things.

#

But yeah, I wanted the ability to make some foods after the apocalypse.

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I see, thats why I asked about milk powder.

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

I could probably just gamify it, omit the ice from the process.

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

@zealous wing exactly what I tried to make lol

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Think if we pester TIS some more, they'd add a "ReplaceOnFrozen" variable for us?

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Ice could have workaround with very short shelf life, but but time goes when food gets frozen, and it still has to be at least 1 day

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Who knows? It happened before with soem requests

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I assume it happened now with radio something added in new update

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

yeah

#

if you come with a good explanation of how it should work you probably have better chances of getting a change

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Another question I got, is there a way to make/script an item to completely disappear from a player's inventory? E.g. When the ReplaceOnRotten variable triggers, the item just disappears?

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

what about food temperature? Boiling water can be checked if its hot. so maybe we can check if food temperature is belowe freezing, i.e. frozen water

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

I wanted these hypothetical ice cubes to melt/evaporate if they weren't in a container.

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

its doable, onreplace noreplace

#

ive seen somewhere

zealous wing Mar 6, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Huh, I'd need to see an example.

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

my bad, I think it was recipe

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I don't tihnk I ever tried that

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

on craft no craft, not sure how it was written. vanilla or mod, but i for sure seen that

#

@nimble spoke when you modded new info interface, is zombie kills saved as string somewhere and value could be changed? I have idea, not real life like. To buy traits for zombie kills

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

zombie kills is an interger saved in the characters, I tihkn it can be changed with character:setZombieKills()

turbid pasture Mar 6, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

thanks, will need tot test that out.

grand walrus Mar 6, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Think if we pester TIS some more, they'd add a "ReplaceOnFrozen" variable for us?
@zealous wing I'd ask for events on defreezing and freezing. You can basically do whatever you want with your item once it chages it's state then

nimble spoke Mar 6, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

I guess that would be harder because events have the potential to slow servers down, I don't remember who told me that and what was the situation though

celest cargo Mar 6, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Hello, good day,
Im searching all forum and mods for a way to increase item transfer time

How can i edit the trait " Dextrous " to increase item transfer time to 100% or more?

abstract raptor Mar 7, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

I once made a texture pack that changed all the color of the blood to rainbow colors

#

Now it seems way harder to do

zealous wing Mar 7, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

So, I'm working on some evolved recipes. How can I go about adding entries for my new recipes under the relevant condiments/dishes/etc in media/scripts/items_food.txt as unobtrusively as possible?

#

E.g., I want to add my evolved reciipes to the ketchup and mustard condiments.

frozen scarab Mar 7, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

If anyone has any plans on making a mod to add more traits, "Bad Knees" to cause minor pain when sprinting or sneaking sounds like a good idea :O

polar river Mar 7, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

❔ is there somewhere list of removed / modified values for table.insert in IWBUMS 41.3x (vs40) ?
(so i avoid going mad from trying fix item spawns ... )

crisp notch Mar 7, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

Would anyone be capable to make lifestock possible when in build 42 wildlife happens?

#

So we can have cows and ox, and chickens and similar?

#

Or lamb

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Probably but there's no way to know with there being no information available regarding anything abiut the animals or what can be modded with them; it's impossible to make any plans.

nimble spoke Mar 7, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

@zealous wing You have 2 options, override the item, or use something like Item Tweaker API mod

#

@frozen scarab Sounds like a good idea

frozen scarab Mar 7, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Yee!

nimble spoke Mar 7, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

@polar river I've been checking with their Distributions.lua directly

frozen scarab Mar 7, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Aw fuck what if they made it so short sighted was way more impactful but you started with a pair of glasses, and every pair of glasses you found after that will only mostly optimize your vision? Random prescriptions that might make far off even worse or what not. At high levels of medicine you could even try to make your own prescription with salvaged lenses from other glasses..!

#

A friend of mine knew a guy who would do that with dollar store rack glasses, he was far sighted so he'd take reading glasses off the racks, cover one eye and just read posters and gauge which lenses worked best for each eye, the get home and combine the lenses appropriate for each eye and get a 500$ prescription quality pair of glasses for like 20 bucks

Vests With Pockets Mod is now up on the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2016213788

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

@willow estuary looks interesting. Do they occupy back slot?

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

I don't half-ass shit.

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

so it's vest slot then?

#

but they don't count as clothing with insulation dirtiness and protection huh

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2016213788
"Note that as they are containers items, and not clothing items, that they will not function as clothing items with many of the clothing systems in PZ."

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

yeah, it wasn't a question

#

2 kilos per every vest is a bit boring. probably gonna change it for my game

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

Ugh, if people start using my mods to cheese the game I'll just delete them from the workshop.

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

no i mean progression system

#

why is safety vest has exact same capacity as hunting vest with lots of pockets?

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

The safety vest isn't in the mod. Those things are fucking useless in real life.

#

The foreman vest, however, represents the higher grade of construction vest.

📎 vests3.jpg

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

also overwriting the whole ISInventoryPaneContextMenu is not a good way to do it

#

can't you overwrite only functions without the whole file?

willow estuary Mar 7, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

That's why I included the disclaimer regarding that on the mod page.

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

so apparently you are changing only createMenu function

#

you could create a lua file with only this function

#

it will preserve other parts of the file for other mods to change

#

like this

📎 VestTest.lua

#

it's not optimal, but it's better than swapping the whole file @willow estuary

#

i'll probably try to make it even more mod friendly tommorow

zealous wing Mar 7, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Where can I find a list of the item names of all the movable furniture in the game?
Alternatively, which game file lists all of the item names?

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

i think it's connected to map files

#

and they're compiled

zealous wing Mar 7, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Is there a list of them anywhere online? I've looked but came up empty.

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

when i tried to create custom buildables i only found an incomplete list of sprites

zealous wing Mar 7, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

Well, I'm not looking to create custom stuff, I just need a list of class names for cold/heat sources. It's for a mod I am working on.

grand walrus Mar 7, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

you can probably look into "more builds" mod. It's somewhat complicated but there are buildable antique oven and mini fridge there

wet osprey Mar 7, 2020, 7:14 PM

hey, is there a mod or a way to remove/change a negative trait from an already create character? hmm_beard
