Debug mode

wet osprey

oh, how do I enter it?

drifting ore
#

Set the game's launch parameters on steam to -debug

wet osprey
#

hmm my screen gets black when I start the game with those parameters

drifting ore
grand walrus
#

just goodle it lol

wet osprey
#

yeah it looked like that hmm

#

huh starting with -debug mode just gets me black screen

grand walrus
#

try to press f11

let me check

#

hmm nothing Thinking

why is that not-raynor holding a kukri?

@nimble spoke Ah it was an old screencap with a random character with the Kukri.
I would have made a RE Mila but I didn't think the PZ engine could do my queen justice?

Is the NearItem line of code valid? Or did I cock it up? Trying to make it so that you need to be standing near a heat source to craft this item.
#

Basically are those the right item names for the relevant stoves?

willow estuary
#

Testing should sort that out? I think you can see the tile names in TileZed, or when you use the clone tool with Necroforge?

#

@fallow bridge ^ there you go.

zealous wing
#

@willow estuary Don't have TileZed, I got all of those class names from looking at Necroforge code to see what it called.

zealous wing
#

Another question: How do you add a custom item to the trapping loot? I.e., A a new animal you can trap in the trapping crates.
Can't figure out where the code for it is, although I probably missed it.

zealous wing
#

NVM, I think I figured it out.

turbid pasture
#

new items in traps are easily added in lua code. When you use vanilla traps. Adding new trap would be way harder.

#

I tried to find info what works with NearItem. And got stuck. Most of the items I tried - didn't worked. I'm 99.99% sure. that line wont work how its written.

#

what animals are you adding to extract gelatin? Im lazy to draw new animals, so didn't released my addition. So, saying to myself, that I'm still testing. Have added lizard, another bird and spiffo errrr i mean racoon.

#

Downloads Algol's mods while they there

#

I think 2kg pockets is enough, or atleast almoust enough. Never finished my belt/backpack addition, to have different compartment to store every day carry items. I have enough space in backpack to carry it, but want them not to get in my way.

#

@willow estuary there is no poster.png in vest mod.

zealous wing
#

@turbid pasture The only thing I'm adding is Wild Chickens. Going to start drawing sprites for things when I get the energy.
Do you know of any way TO write that line? I guess I'll have to rewrite stuff if it nothing else works.
As for gelatin, red meat generally makes the most. No poultry or fish.

turbid pasture
#

No, I dont know what can be used with NearItem or where items are listed, that can be used with it.

willow estuary
#

@turbid pasture Ah thanks.

and game refuses to continue, but i can't find anything wrong wondering

willow estuary
#

Looks like PZ is expecting a number and it's getting a string.
My guess is that you have a formatting error somewhere in your distribution tabls, like a missing quotation mark or something.

They way I usually troubleshoot something like that is start with a small chunk of the code, feed that into the game, and if it works, add another, and so forth, until the chunk with the error gets in there.

willow estuary
#

So it doesn't update instantly, seems to need a mouseclick or keypress to initialize, but I have "containers attached to hotbar slots are accessible in the inventory interface w/o having to be equipped" working

#

NearItem detects the name of the tile object

lost stirrup
#

Is there a trenchcoat mod for Zomboid?

nimble spoke
#

the only known example of NearItem comes from the smithing system where it detects the Anvil

#

And it can only detect tiles on the floor level

#

Unless you guys want to bug devs for fixing that

pastel estuary
#

tfw I take the pages out of a book and the resulting pages weigh more than the book

turbid pasture
#

Thanks Flitcher for clarification. I won't bug developers for that. I don't think thats so important now.

#

hey, one question. Anybody knows the difference between SoundVolume and SoundRadius in the weapons script?

abstract raptor
#

Sound Radius would affect from how far the sound can be heard at max volume

#

I think, I have nothing to back that up on of course 👀

willow estuary
#

I believe that Volume affects aggro from zeds and Radius affects how far other players can hear it in MP.

mossy mantle
#

well, after making a file and trying it out, turns out is the other way around... or so I assume.
Radius affects aggro, volume I assume affects the sound in MP?

Kinda a funky attachment point (used the walkie talkie one for testing), but visible canteen!

Gonna need some fine tuning down the line, but I have the belt attachment positionings for radios and canteens at the "good enough" stage.

#

it loads properly in singleplayer, being an admin doesn't matter because I can't actually enter the server in the first place

#

yeah, reverted to a previous version and it works, I think 2.9 is bugged

spark vector
#

Does anyone know if there's a way to let the player select a backpack in the character design screen?

#

Like on the screen where they choose their look and starting clothes, is it possible to add a "Backpack" slot? It looks like right now the only items that get slots are Clothing items, and the backpack is not Clothing it's a Container

grand walrus
#

i know it's possible. Look into "occupation items on spawn" mod. You can choose backpack for burglar that's i'm certain about @spark vector

spark vector
#

thanks @grand walrus

pallid matrix
#

hell yeah spiffo

spark vector
#

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I want to add new definitions to /media/lua/client/Definitions/ClothingSelectionDefinitions.lua

#

So I made a mod whose file structure looks like this:

#

MilitaryClothesEnabled/Contents/mods/MilitaryClothesEnabled/media/lua/client/Definitions/ClothingSelectionDefinitions.lua

#

Just that one file. I thought that it would simply overwrite the old version and that would be that, but it seriously crashes the game. The splash screen background loads but no options to play or exit the game appear after that.

grand walrus
#

you've messed up with lua somewhere. if it doesn't compile and overwrites game files it won't load

spark vector
#

okay so there's probably just a missing comma or something?

grand walrus
#

something more significant i'd say

spark vector
#

like what?

grand walrus
#

like end block or function structure

#

hell it can be anything lol

spark vector
#

I didn't actually write any new script or anything, I just added extra clothing options to some of the JSON lists

grand walrus
#

idk then

#

especially without seeing those files lol

spark vector
#

But in theory that should basically work, though, right?

#

Like it's okay to just rewrite lua files instead of crafting an injector?

grand walrus
#

i'd avoid it as much as possible tho

#

but it works

spark vector
#

yea I know it's a bit unprofessional and will possibly break future updates

#

okay so I just did it again with the original text and it loaded fine, so I think I'll just add each option back in slowly, testing in between

grand walrus
#

yeah, that's one way to do this

spark vector
#

Actually, better yet... can you think of a mod that uses a script to just update one JSON {} somewhere in a specific file?

grand walrus
#

you don't actually need a cript or anything

#

i'll show you

spark vector
#

thanks 🙂

grand walrus
#

have you tried to make a custom named lua file with only your custom configuration?
like clothingMod.lua with something like
`ClothingSelectionDefinitions.customCofig = {
Female = {
-- Shirt = {
-- chance = 20,
-- items = {"Base.Shirt_PoliceBlue"},
-- },

    Tshirt = {

-- chance = 20,
items = {"Base.Tshirt_Profession_PoliceBlue", "Base.Tshirt_Profession_PoliceWhite"},
},

-- Jacket = {
-- chance = 20,
-- items = {"Base.Jacket_Police"},
-- },

    Pants = {
        items = {"Base.Trousers_Police"},
    },
    
    -- we remove sweater from this outfit, you can still select one if you want

-- Sweater = {
-- items = {};
-- },
},
}`
inside?

#

without overriding the whole file

spark vector
#

The thing is I want to change the default configuration so that all professions can use

grand walrus
#

so try to include only the default config then?

spark vector
#

@grand walrus sorry for disappearing, my dog came back from her daycare and she was completely matted in dog shit

#

So I had to drag her into the bathroom and wash her for over an hour

#

Thank you for the advice, that lua file is exactly what I needed

  • the second back slot requires a back rig; you can wear a backpack or a back rig, but you can't wear both
  • the second back rig only works for big blades such as katanas, machetes, and kukris, or a sawn off shotgun

Whatever you want to?

People kept saying they wanted me to make fanny packs, here they go. It's up to them what they do with them.

There's not a lot of room, that's what I mean.

ember orchid
#

Sounds like a real one to me.

willow estuary
#

It'll hold a pistol? Anything more than that and people will be able to fit sawn off shotguns and shit in them.
I don't know what people expect to jam into a fanny pack?

whole sphinx
#

No, but it's really well done. I don't deny the talent. It's just that we've seen better.

willow estuary

This seems like a reasonable amount of stuff to fit in one, I'm not sure what I'm missing here @whole sphinx ?

#

I have a question if you don't mind.

willow estuary
#

?

whole sphinx
#

I've been meaning to ask you, are you planning on adding more outfits in the future?

willow estuary
#

It is currently impossible to add new clothing items to workshop mods.

But yes, when that becomes possible, we have plans in that vein.

whole sphinx
#

Yeah, no, when I talk about clothes, I'm talking about what you did with the jackets.

#

😋

willow estuary
#

No, it messes significantly with the clothing system on a code level, and breaks several systems in the game.
I'm fine doing it for something like a few vests, but anything beyond that would cause all sorts of problems.

#

How hard would it be to make an rp oriented mod which replaces the basic text box notebooks with something higher quality like the map UI and allows you to type and draw on it?

drifting ore
#

and then if its a locked note, then just the image of what it says without options to make alterations

willow estuary
#

I think the typing stuff would just involve changing the font used, and throwing up a graphic as a backdrop?
Dunno, should be doable I'd guess.

blissful meteor
#

Would be great if you could find those on the survivor Zs

willow estuary
#

Ah, there's a mod that pretty much does that? "Survivor journals" I think? Kinda surprised it's not more popular with how people say they want more of a story experience out of the game.

cyan spade
#

Does anyone here know the spawn rates for cars?

spiral plover
#

Is it possible with Tile Properties to make a tile immune to the sledgehammer?

nimble spoke
#

Ohhh I had fanny packs in my to do list but you beat me to it....

willow estuary
#

@nimble spoke Hohoho! Hey, I was gonna DM you and thank you for that reorganized info window mod; it's a blessing for looking at the attached gear stuff I've ben working on ingame!

nimble spoke
#

That's exactly why I made the mod, I could barely see glasses with the vanilla size

willow estuary
#

Appreciated a lot!

nimble spoke
#

I wanted to make the model even larger but I'd have to move the hair/beard options again

blissful meteor
#

@spiral plover not in the tile properties, I couldn't find a way

nimble spoke
#

@cyan spade you can check them in VehicleZoneDefinition.lua

#

At some point I wanted to make literature items that simply show an image, much like maps but without the note or symbol options. I might give it a try

drifting ore
#

@nimble spoke Why not the note or symbol options if you don’t mind me asking? In my example I just left them for the heck of it, but ideally I’d want to have one button to edit text, and another to be able to draw with

#

So like a substitute for the note and symbol suited for writing a journal instead of a map essentially

#

If you do wind up making the sort of mod I think you’re talking about, which is to say, the kind that I was talking about, I’d be hyped af

nimble spoke
#

If I do get to the point of testing these ideas, I'll try to to make both options possible

drifting ore
#

Will be EPIC for rp man

#

I wonder if typewriters were a big thing back then

nimble spoke
#

I think they still were, well at least in countries where computers took longer to replace them

#

back in 93 I had not seen a PC in front of me yet

So the map_xxx_xxx files in the save folder are what the game uses to remember and store data on cells that the player has visited, right?

#

When shall it be ready oh lord above?

#

i just realized , it would be really nice if the .lua files in the base game had theirs own versioning in the header of each file

#

sometime i'm really scratching head about some mods, like wth this version of the file and what game build it came from 😁 etc.

spark vector
#

Is there a way to load changes you just made to your mod without having to quit the game and reboot?

nimble spoke
#

if you enable/disable mods in the mods window the game reloads all lua

#

I think debug mode also has a force reload button

little tweak to have the same feel of the original texture in terms of layout and picture

ember plinth

hello can anyone help me with the attachmentType for handaxe?

#

i think i screwed it up i can't undo it

turbid pasture
#

Hi, from vanilla handaxe. AttachmentType = Hammer,

ember plinth
#

thank you. i did a reinstall haha..just to make sure

abstract raptor
#

I added in the functionality to add your own music to my mod

#

You just have to convert the files to .ogg using audacity and rename them custom1.ogg custom2.ogg etc all the way down to custom14.ogg

#

and place them in the RadioMusic folder where the mod is contained

turbid pasture
#

@ember plinth no need to reinstall, there is option to recheck game files in steam, so only edited/missing ones would be deleted. I did that once after editing files.

#

@abstract raptor nice addition. But for people, who are afraid to edit something, it would be nice, to add your mod settings, so when creating new sandbox game, people could choose files from settings menu.

#

if that possible

abstract raptor
#

I dont know how to do that X_X

turbid pasture
#

I know, I have seen somewhere pointed out which file has sandbox settings, but don't remember. I think, that superb survivors adds some settings

abstract raptor
#

that'd be pretty cool

willow estuary
nimble spoke
#

cool

#

is it possible to make it play different songs? I wonder if adding different CDs could be a thing

nimble spoke
#

we already have song tape icons, I think I should make a sony walkman icon

abstract raptor
#

Ahh stealing my thunder

nimble spoke
#

also is it compatible with headphones? it would be neat. Equip headphones to avoid becoming a zombie magnet

willow estuary
#

@nimble spoke

  • yes, it's being made to play different cds, each of which have a different tracklist
  • I really want to do cassette tapes, and probably will eventually, but there's some issues with keeping track at what position in the tape that the tape is at when stopped that make it core complex code-wise than CS.
  • it uses the same headphone system that radios do

@abstract raptor Ah sorry, this has been on my conspirators' and my agenda for a while, just that the new device functions made it easier.

nimble spoke
#

I didn't even know radios used a headphone system lol, guess I have to stop modding a little and play more

abstract raptor
#

Well Blair I hope it goes well ! that's exciting

spark vector
#

What's the actual proper way to update an xml table? The only mods I can find that modify xml files do so by just overwriting it completely, which would render it completely incompatible with any other mods that did that as well.

#

There must be some way to xpatch or something like in Rimworld, right?

willow estuary
#

Thanks Azakaela, it's been pretty exciting with how... ....delicate... ....the radio stuff is 😄
A nice rmeinder to backup stuff whenever you reach a milestone for sure.

abstract raptor
#

The radio stuff has been cool

#

I've dug it

nimble spoke
#

@spark vector I'm curoius about that as well. The only case I've dealt with xml compatibilities was in Starcraft 2 and I have no idea if their method was unique to their engine

turbid pasture
#

I went into debug mode, there is new radio tab there.

#

On a different note. Is there a way to insert into loot table item spawn in specific backpacks? Would like to have military items in those military ex survivors big backpakcs.

I'm upgrading it right now to make it spicier and do damage as well as sickening you.

Does it turn you into a zombie if you die in it?

I could see that being very entertaining in multiplayer

Actually I suppose you could just turn on everyone’s infected and it would do that, nevermind

wet osprey

@willow estuary that looks dope af, how is the logic of the radiation mist, its already everywhere on the map/certain zones or appear when fog appears?

willow estuary
#

The regular fog is now green and poisonous; nothing more sophisticated than that.

does it add more masks? (currently only find one with the armor mod)

Mod has been updated with an alternative extra hardcore option where the rain is also toxic, although less dangerous, but requires full-body protection for full protection from it's effect.

Nice mod. Full protection from rain is hazmat suit?

@willow estuary well done bro

Thanks @drifting ore ! That means a lot to me coming from one of my favourite mappers 🙂

drifting ore
#

@rooooooooh

#

@willow estuary so cute

#

i will play your mod tonight

#

will see how it plays on my map

#

does it work like the classic fog?

#

or is it driven by loot areas?

willow estuary
#

@drifting ore just like the classic fog; the fog from vanilla pz is now just naughty.

drifting ore
#

this is a very good idea in my opinion

#

I don't know exactly how to connect that with the lore, but it makes a massive gameplay difference

willow estuary
#

Ah, I don't really care about the official PZ lore myself? 1993, Kentucky, Spiffo, Kate and Bob, I don't find any of that compelling.

But toxic clouds that require gas masks are a definite trope in post-apocalypse/horror media.
Myself, since we already have contaminated rainwater, I don't find toxic fog, or rain, to be much of a stretch, especially when we have magic cannibal corpses on top of that?

drifting ore
#

i agree

#

i really don't think it's a stretch

#

if anything, PZ is a customizable zombie simulation

#

so again, i think you did really good

willow estuary
#

Awwww, thanks 🙂

drifting ore
#

if we consider lore, making a map in CHerbourg is probably ridiculous anyway

willow estuary
#

shrugs I mean, with the officialPZ lore, sounds like it goes worldwide anyways? I can't think of many examples of contained zombie outbreaks in popular zombie fiction.

does anyone know if the lua interpreter can access java fields? I'm trying to edit the sandbox vars on my current game via a lua interpreter but can't seem to access the relevant fields even though the fields are public

willow estuary
#

They have to also be exposed by the lua manager class in addition to being public AFAIK?

pastel estuary
#

I tried getSandboxOptions():Lore, getSandboxOptions().Lore, and getSandboxOptions()[Lore] and they all return nil@willow estuary

willow estuary
#

getSandboxOptions():Lore() should be the proper way of having it in code AFAIK, but it would still need to be exposed to work.

Way ahead of you on that ;)
||Well, actually Hydrocraft was, I just took their cue for my own environmental hazard mod||

drifting ore
#

Ever since weapons became visible i've been wanting this, yet this is the closes thing so far, but the item that lets you carry a second back item uses the backpack slot

zealous wing
#

Algol (The guy who made it the mod you linked) actually considered that IIRC, but he decided to not make that for balance reasons.

#

@drifting ore He talked about it in another discord.

willow estuary
#

@zealous wing Ahahahaha, I never considered that. I have nothing but withering disdain for convenience "trunk space" mods that make the game easier.

I guess this is a misunderstanding on your part, but it's practically slander! 😉

zealous wing
#

@willow estuary Oh, ok. I might have misread something then days ago when you were talking about it or something related.

willow estuary
#

Oh I was just being polite to Hurley when he asked me to do the same thing, but I would rather wipe my hard drive and throw my computer in the trash than make mods that make the game easier.

pseudo lake
#

I don't really see how you actually made new attachment points, did you have to edit the player model or some such?

#

Oh I see now

#

In scripts, I just hadn't got there lol

drifting ore
#

Of course the guy that made great mods had to be an elitist

willow estuary
#

Shrugs Again, I have zero interest in making mods that make the games easier, or contributing to making the game easier.
How I choose to spend my time is my business. And everyone is entitled to their opinions. My opinion just happens to be contrary to your own.

#

But, perhaps, there is a correlation between making "great mods" and having strong opinions about the game?

zealous wing
#

Hmm.

Well, thinking about it some, it's not really making the game easier by having a second back slot. Carrying a second M16 or axe or whatever means you're carrying extra weight too, plus whatever you need to maintain it.

turbid pasture
#

2x weapons on back for sure would make game a bit easier. But a lot of things does that.

#

2x spears probably would benefit most players.

willow estuary
#

Well, to me, I like the fact that if your M16 jams, you can't just hotkey a second M16 into your hands to bypass the issue?
I like difficulty.
Anyways, with the mod I made, you can't use it for a second M16 or Axe, it only works for Machetes, Katanas, and my modded in Kukris and sawn-off firearms.
And having to choose between a backpack, and thatlimited second back slot is a delicious decision.
I like hard decisions like that, I think it's good game design.

turbid pasture
#

I also thought about making additional carying points, that could be balanced by needing to equip something to gain those spots, like belt or holsters are in vanilla.

#

easiest workaround to carry 2 big weapons is to equip one in hands, and second on back. spear breaks/m16 jams, just press 1 to equip

willow estuary
#

Anyways, it's moot point what my opinions are? I'm a big fan of the devs' dedication to punishing difficulty, and, with my own modding, I find the idea of reducing that difficulty in any significant fashion distasteful.

But sooner or later someone will make a "trunk space mod" for weapon hot bar keys, and people will be able to use a mod that gives them hotbars 1 through 10, as well as !, @, #, $, etc, and everyone will be happy.

turbid pasture
#

yes, and sadly that mod would be more popular, than your balanced one 😦 And I didn't had time yet to try it. Well, didnt tied Kukri, because I didnt found one.

willow estuary
#

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the Kukri mod is pretty much entirely cosmetic; they're identical to machetes aside from the weapon model, icon, and lower spawn chance?

turbid pasture
#

Thanks for tryingh, but it didnt helped, I still want to find one 🙂

willow estuary
#

Yeah, I still haven't found one in a legit playthrough yet myself 😄

pastel estuary
#

does the game expose the ability to call a function when a food item is consumed? I feel like eating a hydrocraft skinned carcass should roll for zombification because it's the corpse of a zombie but idk if such functions exist or if I'd have to do some java modding

turbid pasture
#

I am still looking for that MA13 too. So much to explore and to find for me.

#

@bitter basin Hydrocraft lets you eat zombie body parts? Those probably should have poison value added, and if poison level is high enough (and it should be), vanilla machanics would end your chars life as being poisoned.

turbid pasture
#

was in game, found belt, and decided to check maybe sheaths can be made from it ( I use craft helper), and yes, there is recipe. Nicely done. exactly how I imagined it. Now need to level tailoring.

how could I make a mod that enables light posts to be dismantled and obtain back the flashlight? as a matter, how does one make a mod to add custom furniture/buildings, was looking at the mod list to see if I can copy one and start editing from there but cant find any mods that add custom buildings

pseudo lake
#

Well if he looked at the code, he would have found that it really wouldn't be hard to give the backpacks two slots 😛

#

I was going to post it for him, but the way he acted towards you makes me not give two fucks if I'm honest

#

The hardest part was working out the rotations on the waepon offsets

turbid gale
#

you still looking for an M113? lol

#

hey, if it keeps taking a while, you'll find one after I fixed all the bugs with it. :P

#

I've already stomped out 2 really nasty bugs with it

turbid pasture
#

Well, I don't play very much, so that might be one of the reasons. I spawned M113 when I was testing my mods on a new save, checked it out, but still didn't found it on main save.

#

@pseudo lake I think Algol knows how to do that, but he said he wouldn't. If you found better way to implement, then he did it, tell him, it would benefit mod users.

pseudo lake
#

I mean it's just an attachment point

#

He wrote the hotkey part I believe

#

It wouyld jsut be as simple as editing the Backpacks and giving them the second attachment point

#

I deleted the folder though cuz I didn't care too much, I was just interested at the time 🙂

#

I'm working on BOTW tracker, just gotta find out how they made the zombie debug map >:^))

turbid pasture
#

BOTW?

willow estuary
#

I could have been more diplomatic, but it was late, I had a mild headache, and I was ribbing Andre for mildly misrepresenting me, when with my own modding, not making the game easier is a matter of principle to me.

turbid pasture
#

Debug map is connected to zombie AI, since it shows where they are going

willow estuary
#

And, TBH, I've been getting annoyed with people "bug reporting"/complaining about the vest container mod not providing bite/scratch resistance and the like.

pseudo lake
#

Yeah like in Zelda botw you see a line that shows your journey over time on the map

#

I'd like to mimic it, track the players life and when you die, give you the option to view your journey :D

#

Thank you though, that points me where to look, I'll take a nice long look tonight

turbid pasture
#

that would look interesting, not very practical, but I would look where I was

pseudo lake
#

Yeah I suspect it's gonna be quite tricky, but I should just be able to track players x/y over their life and at the end draw a map and recall those locations and step through them/render it

#

I have some pseudo code done but I get distracted easily lol

#

I really have no idea about making the map tho which is why I wanted to look at the debug one

turbid pasture
#

yeah, that will take a lot of work

pseudo lake
#

Even more interesting might be for those people that continue on saves where a player died, would be cool to track your old zombie corpse 😂

turbid pasture
#

Algol, I dont know why they are complaining. I sometimes feel, that scratch protection doesnt help. Not sure, if my last save has cold temperature, or game got tweaked, but earlier, in the summer you couldnt even wear anything with protection without overheating.

#

i assume, that majority who continues to play same save - looks for their predecessor.

pseudo lake
#

I think there are some limitations around it but idk, we'll see :)

@wet osprey Theres a mod that let's you build lamp posts that draw from grid power instead of batteries and the recipe just uses a lightbulb instead of a flashlight. Same everything else but lightbulbs are much more common and expendable than flashlights soo

@frozen scarab I know the one you mean, its the More buildings mode, but really looking for something not so electric (since I usually play without electricity)

frozen scarab

No that's not the one I meant.. the one I use is JUST an electric lamp on pillar.

#

Though there is a mod that let's you craft a crankable flashlight using electronic scrap

wet osprey

will need to check, tho any idea of a way to dismantle the flashlight pillars? they are really handy but I dont have that many flashlights

@calm portal they already are compatible with holsters.

is cooking handled via lua or is it internally coded

#

I'm trying to mod cooking. like when you have higher cooking level you end up with spare but marginal hunger level of used ingredient.

I have no idea why top bar with close button isn't showing though

#

get the square, then the list of moving objects in it, go through the list and check if any of them are zombies

turbid pasture
#

thanks. not planning on using it now, but it may be handy at some point.

Goddamn SoulFilcher, thats awesome.

Thanks, the last thing to fix is that if you already have the window open it will swap the zombie and not open another window

This actually has a lot of potential as an admin tool.

nimble spoke

good, if you need anything for that window let me know

willow estuary
#

Will do, thanks!

willow estuary
#

Well, I just got a working mod which absolutely destroys cheesing zeds with cars!

drifting ore
#

Completely or it balances it?

willow estuary
#

If a car engine is running and a player is in the car and a zombie is close enough there is a random check, and if that random check passes, the engine quality is reduced.
The variables regarding distance and the random chance are adjustable.
Still needs to be balanced.

But, for the servers that want it, GOODBYE SOFT BABY CAR VS ZED CHEESE!

drifting ore
#

The zed needs to be close to it, or get hit by the car?

willow estuary
#

Close by; there's no lua-accessible check to see if a zombie has been hit by a car that I can find.

nimble spoke
#

I have my own planned nerf for cars, a little less wonky, but it is good to see someone else trying to do that

#

Is the engine (and other parts) damage from crashes and zombie hits in java? I never checked those

willow estuary
#

Engine are not damaged by anything but overheating.

#

....until now 😄

nimble spoke
#

yeah, exactly.... and that's how I'm going to damage it really, really bad

#

unless a player is very careless or the car was in a bad shape anyway overheating is never an issue

Does anyone know what variable to use for an item to make it just disappear after x amount of time? Similar to the ReplaceonRotten variable, but just deletes the item.

@drifting ore I can't really say, I didn't have any experience with lua when I started modding for PZ. I learned a lot from existing mods. At some point you may need to at least understand java too but it depends on your objectives

willow estuary
#

Yes, all the cleaning items are consumables. It's the gun maintenance items from ORGM.
yeah, it's used to take care of guns, and make it easier than in Vanilla PZ
||Not too much easier though, I could never do that!||

turbid pasture
#

yes, I already know that you would never do that.

hexed anchor
#

I kind of wish there was a modular weapon system, kind of how you can dismantle weapons in Stalker Anomaly down to it's component parts like barrel, trigger, bolt, etc

#

so you could just hoard a bunch of weapons, dismantle them, repair the components and replace them

#

how effective the repair would be would depend on how much engineering you have

#

Think of like how cars work in current build, and put the same concept on weapons

turbid pasture
#

well, you can create mod with that functionality. Combining it with something like seen above would make interesting mod.

willow estuary

My current revision doesn't touch vehicle scripts at all.
It gets blown when a car with a bomb installed is started, that's it. No remotes.
Not interested in putting in remote functionality either; people will just use that + sirens as another way to cheese zeds.

#

The intent for this is solely for nasty, spicy PVP.
Any functionality that could make it useful for anti-zombie measures is a functionality that I won't implement.

Oh excellent @nimble spoke !!! Care to share what your method is? No worries if you want to keep it a secret 🙂

#

Just updated the Car Bomb mod so that the lightbar/siren sets it off as well, for spicy trap purposes.

nimble spoke
#

Radiators will be damaged by collision and hitting zombies like any other part in the engine area, a damaged radiator will not contain much water or may even leak. Without water you can't lower engine temperature properly so overheating and damaging the engine will happen way more often

#

Basically by hitting a lot of zombies you are risking damage to the engine indirectly. And radiators will require Mechanics 5 to install/uninstall

willow estuary
#

Oh SICK

#

....however, assuming that radiators are only damaged by frontal collisions, I'd assume people would just switch to reversing to kill zeds?

nimble spoke
#

you're right, but reverse damages the trunk, so it isn't "free kills" anymore

willow estuary
#

Gotcha.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's some way to implement live zeds causing sickness like the corpses do? That could serve as another detriment to car vs zed cheese.

nimble spoke
#

I don't know

drifting ore
#

That would actually make a lot of sense, considering the only difference (that i'm aware) between zombies and corpses would be that the zombies move, but they're still rotting and you should get sick by being around them

willow estuary
#

Precisely!

drifting ore
#

@willow estuary also, about your mod wich adds a second back slot via a rig, i wasn't asking about a second slot because i want an easy game, i'm asking because it's realistic. IRL i have a military cargo backpack, and it's fairly easy to strap a ton of shit onto it, and the whole m16/axe thing was an example, i get your point of wanting the game to remain difficult, but, generally speaking, having a second spear or even a fully loaded m16 won't make the game that much easy

Yet if you still don't have any intrest in doing that, i respect that, and i'll try to make a mod like this myself

willow estuary
#

Ah, yeah, I understand that for sure. I'm just very apprehensive about making anything that could possibly interfere with the intended balance of the game?

#

Like, the rainwater being contaminated isn't realistic either, but I appreciate why it's in the game.

drifting ore
#

Removing the reduced weight of a hotkey'd weapon could be a workaround to the balance thing, if it's possible

#

About contaminated water, yes, it should be (mostly) safe to consume, but making rain an infinite clean water source would make survival too easy

nimble spoke
#

Damn these player and getSpecificPlayer shenanigans... Does anyone know the opposite? specificplayer -> player

#

I got bored surfing java files for too long

nimble spoke
#

Apparently it is very easy to add items that open the map window with all the buttons, so my focus will be the simpler version with no write or symbol options

#

the last detail will be to remove the standard "open map" and "rename map" for items that shoudln't have them

willow estuary
#

Yeah, I use that in the Toxic Fog mod for a "clue" as well 🙂

#

But never got around to fixing the open and rename mpa options.

nimble spoke
#

well, I have a simple solution if I can find an "unused" item variable that I could use for checking and then changing context. Any suggestions?

#

hmmmmm let me try something here

willow estuary
#

Maybe Condition?

#

What I would do is make a test object and plus a ton of item variables into it, with some method, say a function, that you can use to evaluate the value of said variables, and see which ones the Java lets you use?

nimble spoke
#

I may end up using two variables but I need to make a test here

#

Maybe I can use food's CustomContextMenu to set the context for each item

willow estuary
#

Have the code search for map in the display/type name? If map is in it, use the standard options, if no remove the open map and rename options?

#

That strikes me as the simplest solution.

nimble spoke
#

I made the CustomContextMenu work, so other modders can easily set up their own context for each item, I will include that option for other items like literature too

#

now I just need one variable that we could give items that says it should open the simple window instead of map window and block the rename option

craggy furnace
#

@nimble spoke couldnt that be used for news papers?

#

i was speculating on using that interface for that

nimble spoke
#

Yeah, it can be used for anything basically, for now without a variable, any item that has a customcontextmenu and a map variable linking to an image will open a window without the buttons

#

If there's no customcontextmenu then it is a standard map and the game shows the original options

📎 ImageTestNEW.jpg
#

I forgot to change my item from literature to normal so it still shows the read option there

pseudo lake
#

@drifting ore if you take a look, it's just creating a second catchment point to whatever back pack and assigning a hot key. If u use his code you've got the hotkey stuff right there and examples of how attachment work, or you could take a look at the stock scripts

@pseudo lake I have absolutely no experience with code or moddinh

do they serve any purpose?

#

Firecrackers as one time use sound makers?

pseudo lake
#

Coding isn't as hard as you would think 🙂 It can be very tricky mind you, but LUA is pretty straight forward and quite an easy language to grasp. There are some concepts you will need to familiarise yourself with, but just reading the code really does give you a lot of information. Basically, you read it, what you dont understand you research then you read it again until you find something else you dont understand and again research it 🙂

#

Well, they bleed, but it doesn't do anything to em

It would kiiiinda make sense with the machete spear since it would be similar to a halberd, but it's still a spear, and your best option would be to stab and stay out of reach

What is the meaning of the number after each recipe name in a food item's EvolvedRecipe list? Example: item Honey { EvolvedRecipe = Cake:5;Sandwich:5;Salad:5;Roasted Vegetables:5;Stir fry Griddle Pan:5;Stir fry:5;HotDrink:5, ... }

#

What does that "5" symbolize?

nimble spoke
#

it will take 5 "hunger" from your item and add it to the recipe

#

and do the math for nutrition stats based on that

spark vector
#

If the number is higher than the amount of hunger actually in it will it throw an error?

#

thanks by the way

willow estuary

@nimble spoke just a replacement; still can't add "new" clothing items, and it's crazy restrictive in places as well!

I wish that the t-shirts with the logos were clearly marked better. Some have descriptive names but most don't it's so inconsistent.

@spark vector What Soul Said.
Basically, if you have a food item listed there that has 10 hunger and you instruct the recipe to remove 3, the food item will be reduced to 7 hunger, while the evolved recipe item's hunger will rise by 3.

#

@pseudo lake unfortunately that's just for bags. I'm talking more like how when you wear a shirt it goes from weighing 1.0 to 0.3

spark vector
#

One of my players is asking for me to add multi-language support for my mod. However, I'm totally confused by this request because my mod doesn't add any text. It just changes the stats for the item OpenBeans. There are no new items or anything that would add language-specific content.

#

Does anyone know what he's asking for? What do I have to actually change to make it multilingual?

#

I've tried asking him what he means, but he hasn't been able to give me a useful explanation, probably because of the language barrier, ironically.

nimble spoke
#

Maybe he's talking about the mod description? I've had players post google translation versions of my mod descriptions before.

spark vector
#

I think you're right, it looks like there's a pulldown tab to choose different languages in the Edit Description page

#

So, is there a way to change just a few attributes of an item? Like right now my mod includes this, which overwrites the existing OpenBeans item. But most of the attributes are the same. Is there a way to keep the item intact and just update the UnhappinessChange and EvolvedRecipe lines?```
item OpenBeans
{
HungerChange = -25,
Weight = 0.8,
Type = Food,
DaysTotallyRotten = 4,
DisplayName = Opened Canned Beans,
Icon = BeansOpen,
DaysFresh = 2,
Carbohydrates = 33,
Proteins = 7,
Lipids = 1,
Calories = 170,
Packaged = TRUE,
ReplaceOnUse = TinCanEmpty,
StaticModel = CanOpen,
EatType = can,
CannedFood = TRUE,
FoodType = Bean,
EvolvedRecipe = Soup:25;Stew:25;Pie:25;Stir fry:25;Stir fry Griddle Pan:25;Roasted Vegetables:25;Salad:25;RicePan:25;RicePot:25,

#

@nimble spoke So now I know how to surgically update .lua and .txt files, but what about .xml? I can't seem to find any resources that actually tell you how to change single lines in an xml table without re-writing the whole thing.

#

that question goes to anyone else here who might know, too. thanks

nimble spoke
#

XML just became a reality in PZ modding, I looked into that but nothing so far. I'll post here if I find anything about that

willow estuary
#

.xml is just plaintext like .txt and .ini, the onky difference is the file suffix.

spark vector
#

The issue isn't how to edit the file. The problem is that there isn't any way (that I know of) to add new xml to the game other than completely overwriting the entire file. Which is an issue because then if there are two mods that both need to change the same xml file, they won't be compatible with each other.

#

@nimble spoke where can I find more information about that? is there a thread about it somewhere?

nimble spoke
#

Not that I know of, I've been reading the some related java files in PZ, for fileGuidTable.xml for example

#

A cruise button would be cool. Get to the speed you want, tap cruise and it'll continue at that speed

spark vector

I truly can't find the place in the code that determines it, though. I can find the parts that consume gas, degrade tires, update the odometer, etc. You'd think the Speed Demon and Sunday Driver traits would have to show up somewhere as a multiplier, but I can't find those anywhere either.

It's like there are no references to either of them outside of the code that assigns traits.

spark vector
#

I have sort of an open-ended lua question that I was hoping someone more experienced might be able to help me with

#

I made Fashion Montage, and I want to include an easy way for clothing modders to add their stuff to the list without having to overwrite any parts of my mod

nimble spoke
#

@willow estuary thanks!

#

@spark vector that is always a good initative

spark vector
#

Thanks, I need a few minutes to write up some more details

#

First thing to know is that the vanilla Clothing Picker at character gen requires each item on the list to have a unique DisplayName. That means that if you have two items that are both called "Shirt" in the game, when you add them to the outfit list, only one of them will actually appear.

#

To get around this, and to make the mod easier to use, I create a separate instance of each clothing item with a unique name, that is also alphabetized

#

e.g., one of the "Jacket" items in the base module would go from this:

# 
 module Base {
 item Jacket_WhiteTINT {
      Type = Clothing,
      DisplayName = Jacket,
      ClothingItem = Jacket_WhiteTINT,
      BodyLocation = Jacket,
      Icon = Jacket_White,
      BloodLocation = Jacket,
      RunSpeedModifier = 0.95,
      BiteDefense = 10,
      ScratchDefense = 25,
      NeckProtectionModifier = 0.5,
      Insulation = 0.5,
      WindResistance = 0.35,
      FabricType = Cotton,
      Weight = 2,
  }
...
}```
#

to this: ohgodspidersno: module DistinctNames { ... item Jacket_WhiteTINT { Type = Clothing, DisplayName = Plain Jacket, ClothingItem = Jacket_WhiteTINT, BodyLocation = Jacket, Icon = Jacket_White, BloodLocation = Jacket, RunSpeedModifier = 0.95, BiteDefense = 10, ScratchDefense = 25, NeckProtectionModifier = 0.5, Insulation = 0.5, WindResistance = 0.35, FabricType = Cotton, Weight = 2, } ... }

#

The differences being the module name and the DisplayName

#

So what I would like is for people to be able to add a file called, for instance fashionmontage_NEW-MOD-NAME_jacket.txt

#

Whose contents would look something like```
module NewModNameClothingNames {
item Jacket_new {
Type = Clothing,
DisplayName = Awesome New Jacket,
...
}
}

#

And then my mod, Fashion Montage, would have some additional logic to automatically :

  1. Detect that a loaded mod has new clothing it would like to add
  2. Generate a new distinct name with the formula (NEW-MOD-NAME) - Awesome New Jacket
  3. Put that new item at the bottom of that clothing type's list
#

(I just edited the last comment)

nimble spoke
#

It is easier for other mods to add to your list if you plan it well, than your mod go on detecting possible additions

#

for example, Necroforge's plugin for mod lists is very outdated and I simply added necroforge compatibility to the mod I just released

spark vector
#

There must be some way for it to look in a specific folder, like say scripts/clothing/fashionmontage-mods/ and just add every .txt file that's in there?

#

If I know how to do that I think I can come up with the rest of the logic I need

nimble spoke
#

nah, allow people to add to your list man, that's all you have to do

#

for example let's say your shirt table is FashionMontage.Shirts and all I'd need to do is check if that table exists, and if it does table.insert what I want

spark vector
#

So right now there's one mod that does that, Fashion Try-Out, and it does so by replacing the entire file fashionmontage_clothing_pants.txt, and others. That means that if someone else wants to do something that also changes pants, they would also have to overwrite fashionmontage_clothing_pants.txt and then only one of the mods' clothes would show up

#

It's possible I'm already doing something poorly. Let me post the entirety of one of the shorter sections

nimble spoke
#

I understand, you should switch to a better system

spark vector
# 
\media\scripts\clothing\fashionmontage_clothing_legs1.txt

module DistinctNames {
  imports {
      Base
  }
  item LongJohns_Bottoms {
      Type = Clothing,
      DisplayName = Long Johns Bottoms,
      ClothingItem = LongJohns_Bottoms,
      BodyLocation = Legs1,
      BloodLocation = Trousers,
      Icon = TrousersLongjohns,
      Insulation = 0.3,
      WindResistance = 0.15,
  }
}
nimble spoke
#

how do you create the list of items for each category?

spark vector
# 
\media\lua\client\Definitions\OGSNfashionMontage.lua

...
local listTorso1Legs1 = {
  "DistinctNames.LongJohns",
}
...
ClothingSelectionDefinitions.default.Female.Torso1Legs1 = {chance = 0, items = listTorso1Legs1}
#

so already I see one opportunity for improvement which would be to make that last line a loop that does insertion instead of one that overwrites the list completely

#

but that still doesn't solve the issue of how do I make sure to also include other mods' clothes

#

It would b cool if I could do something like have my code look for all the .txt files in \media\scripts\clothing\legs\*.txt and then add those to the listTorso1Legs1

nimble spoke
#

Let them do it themselves

#

if you can simply insert new entries in the table other modders can do the same

spark vector
#

Ah, true!

nimble spoke
#

just write instructions somewhere telling them items must have unique names

spark vector
#

So I make it have a for loop instead of overwriting, and then everyone can just make a new file that does the same

#

And I can include commented out example files

#

that is totally doable

#

Thank you!!

I want to include as many different equip slots as I can think. So far I have earrings slot, wrist slot for watches and I'm going to add a policebadge/name badge slot

What language is EE? The game files don't even seem to know. Sometimes it seems to be English, other times Spanish.

Is it possible to increase character temperature in build 41?
player:getBodyDamage():setTemperature(37) --does not work
Thermoregulator has only "get" functions.
Each body part has only "get" functions.
And there is no other functions for changing heat or temperature in BodyDamage.

@spark vector I'd like to know that as well, in my mods I simply copy from EN

#

in my head I call it England English even though there are files in spanish

spark vector
#

weird, that's exactly what I've been doing

#

Also I would never imagine a European would ever cede the official "EN" to the United States

is it possible to save a Lua table to modData?

#

I've found an old thread where lemmy states it's disabled because of save bugs, but he clarifies that it will be back at some stagehttps://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1221-some-information-about-the-moddata/&tab=comments#comment-18077

some information about the moddata

hi, I recently began again with some modprojects Im working on and have some things Im a bit stuck with. first of all: Ive learned/found that the current modData (2.9.9.10) only takes data from type number and type table. But I also read on a topic(forgot which) that there wou...

#

as I'm currently struggling doing this I think it might still be disabled, but then again I'm not that familiar with modData to begin with and might be doing something wrong

nimble spoke
#

yes, modData is basically a table of values itself

#

How are you trying it?

river plinth
#

I have a Lua object with a metatable and want to save the complete Lua object (so basically a table) to modData

quaint nightBOT
river plinth
#

so basically I have my Lua class: ```ZHBaseItem = {}

ZHBaseItem.Type = "ZHBaseItem"

function ZHBaseItem:toString()
print("[" .. self.Type)
for k,v in pairs(self) do print("-->'" .. k .. "' = '" .. v .. "'") end
print("]")
end

function ZHBaseItem:derive(type)
local o = {}
setmetatable(o, self)
self.__index = self
o.Type = type

return o

end

function ZHBaseItem:new()
local o = {}
setmetatable(o, self)
self.__index = self

return o

end```

#

and I'm doing this: ```ZomboHexal.spawnItem = function(container, itemType, chance, max)
local roll = ZombRandFloat(0, 100)
local result = {}

if roll > chance then return result end
local count = Rnd(max)
for i=1, count do
    local item = ItemPicker.tryAddItemToContainer(container, itemType)
    if not item then break end
    item:getModData()["ZHBaseItem"] = ZHBaseItem:new()
    table.insert(result, item)
end

return result

end```

@nimble spoke would you mind making a slight change to Relaxing Times? It would be 1000x easier to do it on your end than mine. It's pretty straightforward, just two lines in media\lua\client\ISUI\SFRelaxInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua . Lines 11 and 12: -- if the game is paused, we don't show the item context menu if UIManager.getSpeedControls():getCurrentGameSpeed() == 0 then would become local letMeThink = getActivatedMods():contains("LetMeThink") -- if the game is paused and LetMeThink is not running, we don't show the item context menu if UIManager.getSpeedControls():getCurrentGameSpeed() == 0 and not letMeThink then

@river plinth table.insert(result, item) but result returns the resulting item, that's not a table

#

or am I missing something?

#

I'll read it all over again later

#

@spark vector I can do that for the next update

spark vector
#

Thanks!

river plinth
#

@nimble spoke in result there should be the items with the modData set to a new ZHBaseItem

nimble spoke
#

You said you were trying to insert a table in mod data, I thought it was a straight yourModData = newTable

#

@ember orchid Ohhhh the brave and the bold, using the vehicle system to make horses

#

It's not perfect, but it just works.

nimble spoke
#

@river plinth maybe I got it wrong, but saving the whole object would be item:getModData()["ZHBaseItem"] = ZHBaseItem

#

Yeah Mr Rhymes, the system was made for cars, I guess nobody would expect horses to be perfect in that system. Even my motorcycle test were barely working until we got b41 and all the motorcycle stats were broken

#

I wonder how much tweaking of the whole system was necessary just to make it work

river plinth
#

@nimble spoke but wouln't every Item have the same table? What I'm trying to achieve is a Java Object (here an Item) to give a coresponding Lua object. So whenever I get that specific Java Object I get the according Lua object through modData aswell.

nimble spoke
#

But you're saving the function that creates the object, not the object itself, that's possibly the problem

#

I never tried that, needs more testing

is it possible to mod the amount of time it takes for a foraging spot to refill itself?

say I wanted to use the debug to play a sound; anyone know how to do that? I just wanna see if I can like use it for sound effects by typing something in

Can someone here update this if they have some free time?

#

I tried fixing it up myself, unfortunutely it's no match for my modding skills.

#

It just replaces a bunch of names, so shouldn't be too hard.

#

Thanks in advance.
