adds 4 stations each with different playlists of music -- 110 songs!

ivory lance Apr 2, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Does it play just lyrics or audio for each song too?

#

I mean - You know how it looks like with TV in PZ

#

is it this same but with the different lyrics?

abstract raptor Apr 2, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

This just shows the name of the song and the artist and has actual music that plays

#

Cool

#

I'll check it out

abstract raptor Apr 2, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Because of the way the text durations work it's impossible/extremely hard to line up the lyrics with the music

#

because the radio text can be 1.5 seconds up to 5 seconds, depending on the length of the text in the broadcast line

ivory lance Apr 2, 2020, 10:41 PM

aww

#

that's a shame

abstract raptor Apr 2, 2020, 10:41 PM

I know I wish there were functionality to make it work easily like, maybe selecting how long the duration of the text was but

#

pastel estuary Apr 2, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

is there some way to disambiguate a moveable in a recipe (ie have a particular piece of furniture be used in a recipe)?

#

on the surface there doesn't seem to be a way to because all moveables are shapeshifted instances of Base.Moveable

#

but maybe I'm not looking hard enough

nimble spoke Apr 2, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

The isn't even if each item had defined stats, the recipe internal code does not accept them

pastel estuary Apr 2, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

hmm, it might be possible to use an OnTest function to check if the moveable has certain properties

#

since I think crafting is halted if the recipe's associated test function returns false in respect of any of its ingredients

nimble spoke Apr 2, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

the recipe won't work anyway

pastel estuary Apr 2, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

(x)

#

Moveable extends InventoryItem and RecipeManager doesn't explicitly block Moveable from being used so there's no mechanical reason for it to break apart from disambiguation issues

What CannedFood = TRUE property does exactly? I think it wasn't there before Build 41

spark vector Apr 5, 2020, 11:53 PM

I think it has to do with automatically adding it to "canned food" loot tables

#

Particularly so that you can adjust the relative quantities in the sandbox settigns

#

I haven't looked at it line by line, but I see 'CannedFood' showing up in ProceduralDistributions.lua and SandboxVars.CannedFoodLoot

@sudden lichen

it could be that it's a kind of food that doesn't really expire maybe?

@hexed anchor @sudden lichen I thought that too, but expiration and stuff is taken care of in the script files. Canned Food isn't classified as food. There's just a recipe that goes Can + CanOpener = OpenCan + CanOpener and the open can is a food item.

pastel estuary Apr 6, 2020, 1:38 PM

I'll have a look with jd-gui and see if I can figure out what it does

figured it out @sudden lichen if CannedFood = TRUE for a food item, its spawning is governed by the canned food loot modifier

Is there any way to detect what language the player is using? By which I mean which human language translation they're playing with.

spark vector Apr 7, 2020, 9:40 PM

@proven turret I split FMJLockpicking into several submodules so that players can decide which features they'd like to use.
Would you like to have it for your steam workshop?

nimble spoke Apr 7, 2020, 10:00 PM

@spark vector why do you need to detect language?

spark vector Apr 7, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

I was thinking of making it so that the text on all the in-game maps would be automatically translated to whatever language the player was using

#

you would just have to use that itemtweaker API to change which filename the item looks for

#

The only thing I don't know how to do is set up the if statements to check for the current language settings

Hello! You can help me deal with one mod or direct it in the right direction. There is a rope from the window. And she works. And there are vertical stairs. They do not work. Need to write a mod. You right-click and in the context menu appears, "Climb the vertical ladder." And also, it would be cool to create an item, "Crank + rope." This is so that you can climb or go down to the roof or very high fences. I found ClimbDownSheetRopeState.class. Decompiled. And I got this, but it's hard to figure it out, I'm sorry for translating google.

@nimble spoke item KnoxCountryMap { Type = Normal, DisplayName = Knox Country Map, Icon = Map, Weight = 0.1, Map = media/ui/LootableMaps/knox_country_map.png, SurvivalGear = TRUE, } The way I would do it is by using the ItemTweaker API to simply change the "Map" attribute of each map item depending on which language the player was using. And then I would just have a different png file for each language.

@drifting ore For one thing, there just aren't that many modders in PZ compared to a game like Rimworld. There's just a limited amount of manpower to go around. I think this is is changing, though. I had never even heard of it until last year but IWBUMS is such a great game that I'm sure there are lots of people like me who are jumping on the bandwagon now.

nimble spoke Apr 8, 2020, 8:46 PM

Ohhhh I see. Yea, that's a really good point.

#

In this conversation I'd been talking about all maps but truthfully I was only actually thinking through what it would mean to edit new maps, and I hadn't really put the necessary thought into what might happen with vanilla maps.

#

@drifting ore Secondly, PZ has changed a lot throughout its development, so it's possible someone made an obvious mod idea but it doesn't work anymore because of a change that happened ten versions ago.

drifting ore Apr 8, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

honestly fair

spark vector Apr 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

@drifting ore Thirdly, I've noticed that in general a big chunk of modders like to add new content and art assets. Small tweaks to basic game settings might not be interesting to those folks. I'm speculating, though. My favorite kinds of mods, and the ones that I like to make, are QoL improvements and UI fixes. Really unglamorous stuff.

#

@novel vine Fourthly, I think some stuff seems like it should be the domain of the devs, or the idea seems so obvious that surely someone else is already working on it.

#

And then it just never gets made

nimble spoke Apr 8, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Hey don't downgrade QoL life mods, there are lots of them on steam, it is a little hard now to know which ones are working or not, but that's true for all old mods

@nimble spoke The vanilla game seems to have a typo in the weight of Empty Notebook. It has half the pages as a journal but five times the weight (journal=0.1 with 20 pages, notebook.=0.5 with 10 pages) My guess is that they meant to make notebook 0.05 but messed up. Either that or they meant to make journal 1.0 but I think that's pretty excessive.

#

I thought since relaxing time already changes those items so much you might consider adjusting the weight of Empty Notebook, too

nimble spoke Apr 8, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

weight for vanilla items is all over the place. I doubt they'd give it a 0.05 because items that "small" usually get 0 weight. I will change that in relaxing time, thanks

Also does anyone know if carrying-capacity-related exhaustion is quantum or gradual? Like if I am carrying 0.0 will I get less exhausted than if I'm carrying just below my comfortable max, or does it only matter what moodle you have?

@drifting ore depends on what you want to do. you could make one with nothing but the text editor that comes with your computer

#

but there's a bunch of tutorials here: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding#Modding_tutorials that are a pretty good place to start

Modding

#

Those, I believe, also have resources on what you need to make new art assets and mods

#

also even if all you're doing is text editing you probably want to get a proper text editor that colorizes your functions and variables and helps you spot dumb errors

The difference is first will always work for that item even if the original name changes, the second works for any item named Spoon, but will stop working if the name changes

just export to .x

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

ok i made the model and exported the txt file

#

do i need to make a subfolder called weapons under models_x?

#

and does the file name need a prefix like item?

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

txt models are not the same as .x models in the way you add them to the game

#

model names don't need prefixes

#

txt models go in models folder, .x models go in models_X

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

ok

#

i used the x model

#

so i don't need subfolders if it is a 2 handed weapon?

#

and i just need to change WeaponSprite = modelname

#

or do i have to do another process?

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

subfolders don't really matter as long as you use them correctly in the model script mesh = subfolders/yourmodel

#

and remember that if you don't provide a texture path it automatically uses the same subfolder and filename from your model

#

but inside media/textures

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

oh, so i need to use mesh instead of weaponsprite then?

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

weaponsprite in the weapon script, mesh in the model script

#

then weaponsprite points to the model name in model script

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

oh i don't have a model script

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 1:16 AM

model yourmodelname { mesh = subfolder/filename, texture = subfolder/filename, }

that's it

you can throw it inside your item scripts file, just like you would do for an item

Is there a way to see an exact diff between consecutive updates to IWBUMS?

@wet osprey okay if you want to disable it entirely, the easiest way would be to modify the function ISWorldObjectContextMenu.doScavengeOptions = function(context, player, scavengeZone, clickedSquare) that's in Java/media/lua/client/ISUI/ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua and basically just bypass that completely. Just replace all the code inside it with nothing.

If you do go the first route, though, you want to keep the first line and the final end that closes it, but delete everything nested inside them.

The second route, what you'll want to do is just jack up that 50000 to as high as you want it to be

I think the MeTaL AnGeR's lockpicking mod isn't being maintained anymore, unfortunately, and stopped working properly recently, which is why I forked it. I also fixed a few bugs and imbalances, and made it so it doesn't come bundled with all those dairy and foraging changes.

@drifting ore I think reload speed is calculated inside function ISReloadWeaponAction:initVars() in the fileJava/media/lua/client/TimedActions/ISReloadWeaponAction.lua

wet osprey Apr 11, 2020, 11:32 PM

I have a mod that adds basic recipes, and it starts with module base {
soul filcher starts with module filcher { imports { base }

if I want to add these comics into my current mod, do I need to add the word imports? ( hmm )

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Can you clarify more?

wet osprey Apr 11, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Im quite a noob when it comes to mods, managed to make one mod that adds recipes, the mod is really simple, is just a list of recipes

#

📎 notepad_9TuoRD7kjU.png

#

was looking at the relaxing time mod, that adds literature items/etc

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

Ah gotcha. So good coding practice says that you should do module Whatever { imports{Base} ...}

wet osprey Apr 11, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

can I add that module at the bottom of my mod, or need to create a different file?

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

but a lot of mods just do module Base {...}

#

Most of mine do, because I started when I didn't know any better and it's kinda too late to change it now without risking killing people savegames.

#

So you should probably do what SoulFilcher does

#

At the end of the day if your item and recipe names are really unique it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

importing a module allows you to access values from it iirc

Yea, what he said. If you start with module Base { then you get all the Base ones for free. If you start a new module you need to import it. Most vanilla stuff is in Base, but there are other ones like "farming" and "camping".

@spark vector thanks will check around there

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

@wet osprey , yes that should work. You will then have to add a loot distribution file so that they actually appear in the world, but you probably already saw that in the other mod.

wet osprey Apr 11, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

wait still testing, then will get to the loot distribution

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:43 PM

just mirror the naming conventions of file names and paths that you see in other mods and you should be good

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

welp it seems i can't do too much a comment says -- we don't care about time, the anim is controlling the speed/time

#

so probably the reloadtime attribute is not being used anymore

#

so i would either need to find a way to slow the animation or edit/create one

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

@drifting ore don't give up yet, that might just be about that one variable

#

If I had to guess I think that's saying that the time isn't set by a progress bar anymore, but you still have control over the animation speed elsewhere

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

welp i tried setting a really high number but it didn't do anything

#

i found another clue in animsets

-- Setup IsPerformingAction & the current anim we want (check in AnimSets LoadHandgun.xml for example)

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 11:48 PM

@wet osprey If you use my mod as a requirement, all you need to do is to give your item certain values, module doesn't matter

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

@drifting ore you may have tried this but if not, do this. There are three lines in that file: ```baseReloadSpeed = baseReloadSpeed + (self.character:getPerkLevel(Perks.Reloading) * 0.07);

baseReloadSpeed = baseReloadSpeed - (self.character:getMoodles():getMoodleLevel(MoodleType.Panic) * 0.05);

baseReloadSpeed = baseReloadSpeed + (self.character:getPerkLevel(Perks.Reloading) * 0.03);```

#

Just pump up those numbers at the end of each line and see what happens

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

but wouldn't that change reload speed for all weapons?

spark vector Apr 11, 2020, 11:49 PM

drifting ore Apr 11, 2020, 11:50 PM

@upper bough that's the one i said i tried, it doesn't affect the reload time

#

WeaponReloadType = shotgun is the only thing that seems to mather

nimble spoke Apr 11, 2020, 11:51 PM

@wet osprey import is only used when you're using your own module like I do, or if you're overriding items in a module that isn't Base, like farming

wet osprey Apr 11, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

hmm_beard hmm what should I do if I want to just include the new items with distribution loot, can I do this under my current mod?

upper bough Apr 11, 2020, 11:53 PM

i just did a test in build 41, reloading speed on shotguns seems to be affected by the reloading skill, so it's possible to change the speed of the animation

you can add items from any module in distributions, the only difference is that items in Base module don't need to use Base. before their item names when added to the loot table, items from other modules do need that. So Base.Spoon can be added as Spoon, while filcher.Spoon needs to be added as filcher.Spoon

create a module name for your own use and stick to it, then you need to add those import Base lines in your txt file. That's it

a module is a set of item definitions

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

module is just a name, consider that a list that includes items and recipes, using your own name is good because you avoid overlaping with an existing item from the game or from another mod

wet osprey Apr 12, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Im looking at your mod, so in the files, which one is the module?

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

In my previous example, if I create filcher.Spoon it won't conflict with Base.Spoon

#

module filcher { in the first line of my txt files

wet osprey Apr 12, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

oh that line is the module? thought it was an entire new file

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:04 AM

yeah, that's the module, just a name at the start

without my mod you're trying to open a map with that image

wet osprey Apr 12, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

is there a way to make it that it doesnt require the mod?

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

only if you copy all the needed changes

#

requiring the mod is the easiest way to go, and the reason why I create my code in a way that is easy to add new items for it

#

now let me tell you what the other values do. MaxCapacity = 0 is used for a literature item that can't be read because it gives no bonus or recipes

#

ConditionMax is used for items that have many possible images, that's the number of variations

#

starting from zero

wet osprey Apr 12, 2020, 12:13 AM

oh thats why your image names are numbered _

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:13 AM

this way I don't need to spam loot of hundreds of separate items each with it's own image

are those 2 lines vanilla code or is something you added?

nimble spoke Apr 12, 2020, 12:15 AM

those lines are vanilla but used for other purposes

Lua on its own doesn't really have "classes" though you could simulate it using metatables. Even with metatables, inheritance like extending one class require a lot of hardwiring....

            if not self.instance then

-- Each properties has implicit getter and setter by default :P Convenient.
print(aObj:getValue()) —> 10

if not self.chainReload then

you can check for your specific item

nimble spoke Apr 13, 2020, 6:36 PM

then you need a variable that is unused for guns, that you could give to your items and detect that, like ItemCapacity for example

I think ItemCapacity base value is -1, so if you set it to zero for your weapons it wouldn't detect other weapons like vanilla or from other mods

My mod will make herbs

Rottable
Ingredients in several EvolvedRecipes
Used to create special herbal teas (each herb gets it s own simple recipe, herb + mug of water = mug of that herb's tea)
Dryable. When you cook an herb by itself it is ReplaceOnCooked by a dried version of that herb that is less potent and has no happiness rating, but also does not rot.
If you overdry an herb it eventually burns

I think PZ's default behavior will take care of their usefulness in tea making, However, I want to make sure that rotten herbs cannot be dried, since that would defeat the whole purpose of preserving them ahead of time.

#

Here is my current solution:

#

Herbs have a ReplaceOnCooked that replaces them with a dried version. The dry version can be cooked, but the window between cooked and burned is very very short. This all seems fine to me.

The rotten part is where things get iffy.
Then either:
a) Have a ReplaceOnRotten that turns into its own new item. The rotten version item has ReplaceOnCook that goes to yet another BurnedAndRotten version of the herb that isn't dangerous but is very bad, and effectively useless, but can still be used as an ingredient in EvolvedRecipes (but not teas).
b) Add a special lua script to the normal version of the herb, so that if the Herb is rotten it can't be used as an ingredient in the teas
c) Just make the rotten version really bad and useless, but not dangerous

drifting ore Apr 13, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

then you need a variable that is unused for guns, that you could give to your items and detect that, like ItemCapacity for example
@nimble spoke No, i mean the modification i made to the lua file that tests reload speed, not to the weapon script

nimble spoke Apr 13, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

to prevent rotten herbs from being dried use ReplaceOnRotten, or a recipe function that checks if the herb is rotten

#

@drifting ore Yeah, you want reload speed to be used just by some weapons and not others, right?

drifting ore Apr 13, 2020, 10:22 PM

nimble spoke Apr 13, 2020, 10:39 PM

So, as I suggested give your weapon a variable that can be checked in the reload script so only that weapon will use reload time, and other weapons with the same variable value

@signal pier usually it's a normal residential house that gets struck buy the special event hammer, but every now and then it'll hit something like the fire station or giant mixed-use building with half a dozen stores and condominiums.

huh

#

cool

spark vector Apr 14, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

One of the maps apparently has a really big high rise building, and someone was saying they were playing and it got hit by "survivor" house so the entire thing was full of canned food and guns, so they were like "cool I won the game"

#

Also already fully barricaded

#

Oh also I found something neat. Usually if I ever find a big molly backpack it's because one of the clothing store mannequins is wearing one. But I found that sometimes a zed inside a survivor house will have one. So it's good to check those out. They don't just contain lots of items, they also contain totally unique ones sometimes.

So, as I suggested give your weapon a variable that can be checked in the reload script so only that weapon will use reload time, and other weapons with the same variable value
@nimble spoke yeah but the i don't think that will work if the mod is installed from the workshop, unless if putting a modified copy of the reload file in my mod lua folder replaces the base game one

If your Translate item begins with a blank space the game automatically trims the leading whitespace. What's the tag to specifically tell it you definitely want a single space?

neither of the bottom two lines works

oven is a valid container, I can add items to it and it shows up when I print() it.

#

and it's defined by the fact that herb is inside of it, so it's not like the herb isn't there

oh wait...

hang on let me try one thing

Nope that didn't work. I tried DisplayName_Dried_Common_Mallow_(Fresh_Uncooked) = "Dried Common Mallow (Fresh)", thinking maybe I needed a _ in between DisplayName and the first word, but that didn't work either.

Check any mod that spawn new items and you will find one or more lua files that use table.insert to add items to the spawn tables

@nimble spoke I wanted to make it so that if you tried to use a burnt or rotten herb to make a tea blend, the blend would come out as rotten or burnt. I also wanted dried herbs to be burnable. I also was entertaining the idea of having fresh blends and dried blends. To have an OnCooked function (to make them dryable), or if you want something to be burnable, they must be cookable.

But I wanted that "cooked" status to be hidden from the player. I didn't want players to think of fresh herbs as being 'uncooked' or to think of unburnt dried herbs as "cooked".

nimble spoke Apr 17, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

well, being an uncivilized barbarian I wouldn't care that much about tea, but maybe you could find something in the inventory-related lua files? and possibly the craft menu too in case you want to hide it there too

spark vector Apr 17, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Can you tell me more about that?

spark vector Apr 17, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

I'm just going to simplify it, though. It's not really worth fiddling with menu lua that's likely to change in future updates

spark vector Apr 18, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

In lua, is NameOfAThingFactory an expression that gets generated automatically? Like how if you have an attribute called Foo in an object then the methods setFoo() and getFoo() automatically work?

nimble spoke Apr 18, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

no

#

that would make a bazillion things way easier

#

but, anything saved in a table, or in this case a lua object.Foo

#

object.Foo = whatever is the same thing as setFoo()

spark vector Apr 18, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

@nimble spoke The vanilla code has things like TraitFactory or whatever that aren't ever explicitly defined. They just start using them as though they already exist. What am I missing?

#

(I don't explicitly remember if TraitFactory is a good example but you get my meaning)

nimble spoke Apr 18, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

TraitFactory, PerkFactory and others are java and basically the lists for those things, they have nothing to do with how lua works

#

the integration between java and lua only allows us to use the exposed functions and parts of the java code, so if you need a getAnything it needs to be created and exposed to lua first

#

if you feel you have a very good use for something that is already in the code but isn't exposed, explain the case to a dev and they might change it for you

spark vector Apr 18, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

cool

#

I'm learning so much

#

Is all the lua stuff there mostly for modders and to make development easier? Like, is the whole thing really operating in Java after compiling the stuff written in lua?

#

that might be a silly question

#

I know lua is big on tables

nimble spoke Apr 18, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

no, not mostly for modders, a big part of the game uses lua, things that could have been done in java but lua is faster to develop, test and all that. lua is not compiled

Test of various Photoshop down-resolution resampling options. Each image is a conversion of a 120x120 pixel icon to 32x32

Thought someone might find it useful for general icon stuff that needs sharp lines even after downsampling.

📎 down-res-comparisondown-ressing-tests.png

#

the tl;dl is that nearest neighbor might be good if you're lucky otherwise it's going to look all crooked and bucktoothed. Otherwise bicubic automatic, or bicubic sharper.

Random colors need you texture to have transparency, I can't say exactly how because I use Photoshop and it can't handle that properly. Check Filibuster Rhymes' mods for examples

Making them spawn is easy, just add them to one of the categories in melia/lua/shared/VehicleZoneDefinition.lua

Hey, I created Pillow's Many Spawn Points and recently I got notice some people are having issues getting the custom spawn selections to show up on their new game menu. Has anything changed fundamentally on map coordinates or how mods have to be packaged?

#

Note, I have not been following development closely since like Jan of this year

nimble spoke Apr 20, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

I don't think map coordinates changed, and mod packaging is still the same

#

It must be something else

#

Maybe the files for spawn changed somehow

fast fractal Apr 20, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

User error.. Yeah I made sure even the info files had 41.33 in there because it works locally

#

I double checked everything. If someone has a moment and has "Pillows Many Spawns Project" installed, could you try to do a new game to see if the other options show up? I would truly appreciate it, want to make sure it's not just these few people with issues.

I'm partial towards the first and the second one (second being favourite), but the third one is pretty nice too. The gold lettering does make the fourth stand out, though.

@spark vector The 4th one is the most informative (+plus gold letters look cool), the 2nd variant has the best pictures

@spark vector I think the second option looks best, but the third one is the preferred one for me, a mix between damn good looking and informative

@long grove Item spawn tables have changed, it is probably a table that no longer exists, or have been changed to the new procedural system

So I'm sure this is probably been asked before, but when I go to check both of the mods folders (the one installed in the Steam folder and User Folder), both of the mods folders are empty.

Some of my players are having a strange problem. It appears that the only people experiencing it are Russian players. Their character just simply refuses to do the action and instead just stands still.

#

Could this somehow be a language encoding issue? It seems really unlikely but I don't want to rule anything out and it seems to be the one variable they all have in common.

#

I have played the game with their exact modlist but could not reproduce it

spark vector Apr 24, 2020, 9:55 PM

Different unrelated question:

#

Let's say I'm overriding the function ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.createMenu()

#

If I need to use a variable that is defined in ISInventoryPaneContextMenu, but NOT in the original createMenu, how do I do that?

Im playing the English version and Im getting that as well with the not doing any action.

@earnest prairie Would you mind sending me your save game?

@earnest prairie I do hope you can send me your saved game. I have had no luck reproducing it from scratch and until I do there's no way I'll be able to fix it. Thanks 🙂

I wrote this in the Modders Wishlist thread on the forums which describes a problem I'm having:


I'd like to make a change to how it handles one particular kind of item, but this is problematic because that logic happens inside the loop. I can't override the logic inside the loop without overriding the entire function, which I'm unwilling to do for compatibility reasons.

Could you tweak the code so that the loop calls a new createMenuItem function on each item, rather than handling all of the logic explicitly? That way modders could override the smaller sub-function without having to replace the entire createMenu function. ```
If anyone knows of a solution to this that I'm not seeing please let me know

earnest prairie Apr 25, 2020, 2:47 AM

If I do have it happen again I will let you know, I had a lot of saved games and I just started Deleteing them sorry

So I've noticed something a bit strange. I recently downloaded some mods, but for some reason, they don't seem to be really showing.

I've had a few mods installed for a bit, but never actually seen them in action whatsoever in the game. Examples of this is CraftTecs and ORGM. I installed a new mod recently and nothing from that said mod is actually present in the game.

Have I missed something? I did enable it in the main menu and server menu and even did a reload of the game client. It's not a dedicated server and the mods came from the steam workshop. I checked the server ini file and it seems like its listed there and tried to look for any clues on why it may be happening. Is there something I'm missing?

This mod patches Nolan Ritchie's Armor Mod (the same armor system that Hydrocraft uses) so that it works with Build 41 clothing items

It does not add any of the new armor items from that mod to the game; it only provides armor functionality from that mod to Vanilla Project Zomboid clothing items.

The Bite and Scratch protection of this mod has been disabled, as now Vanilla PZ provides that.

Some spawn locations for helmets and bulletproof vests have been added as well.

It has been tested, and bulletproof vests will provide protection from gunfire from Superb Survivors.

@spark vector if you want to use the variable, instead of adding it as local isAllLiterature, add it as a global, at the beginning of the file where there is probably ISInventoryPaneContextMenu = {}, add ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.isAllLiterature = nil;

@spark vector I'd have to make tests first

errant bluff Apr 25, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

A silly question. To test the mods I have to upload them to the workshop or can I try it in the zomboid folder?

#

Because maybe the file address paths are not detected because the mod is not uploaded to the workshop

spark vector Apr 25, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Put them in C:/Users/yourLoginName/Zomboid/Workshop

#

slashes are the wrong way but you get the idea

#

Mac location is pretty much the same /Users/yourLoginName/Zomboid/Workshop

#

There's an example mod in there, so follow the rest of the naming and file structure formatting based on that

#

After that you can upload to Steam by clicking on the "Workshop" button at the main splash screen when you boot up the game

#

If you have a mod in your Zomboid/Workshop folder and you are also subscribed to it, the one in the Workshop folder should take priority but sometimes it acts weird so I always make sure to not subscribe to any of my own mods.

#

@errant bluff

#

To add to what I said above, I think there might be a few other valid locations for you to put your own mods but the one that I described is the best one to use, I believe

nimble spoke Apr 25, 2020, 8:27 PM

Ok, I'd need to know which part of the code exactly you would like to override so I can test it here, I think your concern is important as I also need to override things in ISInventoryPaneContextMenu and I'd like to have everything compatible

I'm trying to make one street atlas appear relatively rarely in only certain locations. Here is the code I am using to distribute it:

#

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["desk"].items, "Base.KnoxCountryMapSecret");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["desk"].items, 0.0005);

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["Bag_WeaponBag"].items, "Base.KnoxCountryMapSecret");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["Bag_WeaponBag"].items, 1);

-- VehicleDistributions
table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Police"]["GloveBox"].items,"Base.KnoxCountryMapSecret");
table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Police"]["GloveBox"].items, 0.1);

table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Ranger"]["GloveBox"].items,"Base.KnoxCountryMapSecret");
table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Ranger"]["GloveBox"].items, 0.2);

table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Radio"]["GloveBox"].items,"Base.KnoxCountryMapSecret");
table.insert(VehicleDistributions["Radio"]["GloveBox"].items, 100);```

#

That's the only file that even contains the word "KnoxCountryMapSecret" other than the script that defines it

#

However, it is appearing in gloveboxes of any kind of car, incredibly frequently. Any idea what might be causing this?
