there's a whole eat() function

that will help

[carmine cosmos]

Sorry, still learning how game handles items in general

item WaterBottleFull
{
    IsWaterSource    =    TRUE,
    Weight    =    0.8,
    CanStoreWater    =    TRUE,
    Type    =    Drainable,
    UseWhileEquipped    =    FALSE,
    UseDelta    =    0.1,
    DisplayName    =    Water Bottle,
    ReplaceOnDeplete    =    WaterBottleEmpty,
    ReplaceOnUseOn    =    WaterSource-WaterBottleFull,
    Icon    =    WaterBottle_Full,
    StaticModel = WaterBottle,
}

So it is just sucking up delta ( 0.1)

[sour island]

they have a condition like weapons but it's called 'remaining'

atleast in game

in code I assume they're both condition

[carmine cosmos]

Yea, it looks like this in use() method:

if (this.isDisappearOnUse() || var1) {
    --this.uses;
    if (this.replaceOnUse != null && !var2 && !var1 && this.container != null)
    ...

[sour island]

I'm still looking in the isogamecharacter

looks like hunger has a whole metabolism system depending if you're excercising and such

[carmine cosmos]

IsoGameCharacter#autoDrink() is called from IsoGameCharacter#updateThirst

[sour island]

I know

my point was hunger has a complicated function

where as thirst is a flat rate

you don't get more thirsty if you're running

[carmine cosmos]

Oh I didn't know that, so thirst is not affected with running at all?

[sour island]

doesn't seem to be

oh wait there is

120% if you're running

but hunger accounts for fatigue and excercise

[carmine cosmos]

Do we have an event you can subscribe to that updates stats in lua?

[sour island]

I'm not sure- I didn't see one

[carmine cosmos]

Can you remind me how events are defined in lua? 🤔

[sour island]

like client, server, or shared?

[carmine cosmos]

This is what gets called from autoDrink:

LuaHookManager.TriggerHook("AutoDrink", this)

There might be a way to tap into that somehow

[sour island]

hunger is inside of updateStats_Awake updateStats_Sleeping as far as I can tell

I don't see an update_hunger

[carmine cosmos]

LuaHookManager.TriggerHook("CalculateStats", this)

[sour island]

hm good find

I could hook it there and then recreate the autodrink function for food

[carmine cosmos]

How exactly do you use those hooks though?

Is it Events.CalculateStats.Add(someFunc()) ?

[sour island]

I'm not 100% sure, I'd have to dig around the lua folders

[carmine cosmos]

Too bad FWolfe's guide has no info on this either:

https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/blob/master/api/README.md#the-hook-system

[sour island]

Events.CalculateStats.Add(someFun)

I think his guide suggests this?

someFun() would override the original event

[carmine cosmos]

Try it out, would definitely like to know as well 😄

[sour island]

currently trying to figure out how to do something like getwatersource

[carmine cosmos]

You are trying to replicate the method in lua?

[sour island]

yeah, I don't think there's a getfoods() so I'd have to recreate that

hopefully there is an isfood(), atleast

[carmine cosmos]

boolean isFood = item instanceof Food

[sour island]

where is that?

[carmine cosmos]

Nowhere, it's just Java code

You need to see if the class of the item is Food

Don't think lua has instanceof though so try this:

https://gist.github.com/darmie/7f98da2d09ac8e28fc839078ef58be30

However, you are in luck

Take look at InventoryItem#isFood

That should return true for food

[sour island]

are you familiar with lua cause I am not

[carmine cosmos]

What do you mean you are not familiar with lua?

[sour island]

the syntax and such

I can edit it around if all the pieces are there

[carmine cosmos]

Okay, I understand

[bronze spade]

Anyone here think they can make a monkey suit for zomboid?

[deft vapor]

Why do you want a monkey suit? 😆

[blazing totem]

Never made a mod. I don't know Java but I'm about a 6/10 on Scala.

I've only really worked on internal business services in lagom etc. Is it even possible to mod this game with Scala?

Is this FWolfe modding guide the best place to start?

[hollow shadow]

Anyone see whats wrong with these?

[blazing totem]

Don't open, his name is DJ virus

[hollow shadow]

I have the same setup for the weapon mod, but got no idea why these dont work

[nimble spoke]

do you get error messages?

usually during load screen in this case

[hollow shadow]

Yeah, it says in the lua line nr 7 something goes wrong, but i got no clue why

This is literaly the same thing, but works

[nimble spoke]

line 7 for which file?

[hollow shadow]

SG, but im guessing the same happens for SA since both of them dont seem to be working

SW works but idk why

[hollow shadow]

Ugh nevermind it, ill rewrite the whole thing again.

[carmine cosmos]

Yes that would be the best place to start

[mint sphinx]

DAMN First got up now but did you find you error ?

[hollow shadow]

I just rewrote it, seems to work now

[mint sphinx]

okay ^^

[mint sphinx]

how is the rewroten file look like?

[hollow shadow]

Oh, i just copied the distributions from the tweaked kitsunes crossbow mod and placed my own stuff in there

[analog sandal]

no sound?

[tame mulch]

sound is just my audio player 😅

[analog sandal]

no I meant like does the prying have a sound effect

[tame mulch]

Yeah, will be sound later

[analog sandal]

ah okay 🙂

[gaunt pendant]

lockpick... WITH A CROWBARRRR... I love it 😅

[scenic oasis]

Ferrari Testarossa lights

[hollow shadow]

What does this do?
@severe ridge

[severe ridge]

not sure but i think is related on how much blood gushes out

(?)

[hollow shadow]

Alright, ill set it to 1000 and see if my pc explodes

[severe ridge]

I'm not sure what it does tho

[nimble spoke]

PZ Quentin Tarantino edition

[fallow lichen]

So has anybody dabbled in making "Mad Max" like vehicles? All armored up cosmetically at the very least?

[severe ridge]

cars armour and improvement is on the list so i'd say we are rather waiting for it :x

[nimble spoke]

yeah, definitely waiting for it. I tend not to mod things I know will be added later... if they're too much work

[wet dune]

How do I make the zombies speak?

I've seen people make the zombies have text above their head so how would I do that?

[hollow shadow]

Id do it if i knew an oncreate function to spawn vehicles near the player

[deft vapor]

@hollow shadow Since we've gone full mod. I'll respond here ok? xD

@hollow shadow Can you send me the file?

[hollow shadow]

@deft vapor

[deft vapor]

What line it says there? 85?

[hollow shadow]

yes

I also noticed this error when using ww2 commanders mods

[deft vapor]

It says in the beginning Attempted index: ***
Usually this means something else has broken your distrib table and this one can't insert in a table that doesn't exist anymore. Whhat other mods are you running?

Is not this file that is your problem, some other mod is breaking it. I'll look through to be sure though.

Disable any other mod and try again please.

I'll paste here some examples to use on that same file. If its too confusing let me know.

oh. can't paste that much. haha

Exemples

[hollow shadow]

I literaly was testing my mod, i only had my mod enabled on got the error lol

[deft vapor]

You have 2 distributions on this one mod.

[deft vapor]

The other one is breaking it. Remove it and try.

[hollow shadow]

ok

[deft vapor]

If that is not the case. Then there is a typo. xD or the ["library"]["shelves"] table doesn't exist. Let me see.

Yep. lol There are no Library Shelves.

You need to delete the line.

In my defence, I took that from your original. 😛

[hollow shadow]

@deft vapor this one?

[deft vapor]

Yes. There is only Counter for Library.

[hollow shadow]

@deft vapor i get the error again

but this time its living room shelves

[deft vapor]

I haven't checked any of these. livingroom table doesn't exist either. heh

[hollow shadow]

waat

if i removed that, then no magazines would spawn in houses

however, before you gave me this lua they were spawning in them just fine :v

[deft vapor]

They already don't by the looks of it.

The table doesn't exist mate. There's no way.

Search for it in Distributions.lua

[hollow shadow]

ill use the old lua file then, that one worked fine :I

[deft vapor]

Well, its one of the reasons people are getting errors. Its the reason why I like your mod so much and yet wasn't using it too.

Just need to find the correct table and put it there.

I'll find it, give me a min.

The house shelves are probably ["all"]["shelves"].

There is also these you could use. ["all"]["shelvesmag"] which is prob mag shelves is houses and
["all"]["sidetable"] room side tables.

["poststorage"]["all"] is prob thhe crates inside bookstore ( theres a few in mulld )
["cornerstore"]["shelvesmag"] gereral stores magazine shelves.

@hollow shadow Gave up? :/

[hollow shadow]

Honestly i am working on my armor mod right now, i dont realy have time to rewrite this lua code :I

im using the old working one i got right now

[deft vapor]

Fair enough. Sorry I dumped too much on your head mate. Just fyi, I removed those tables that didn't exist from my file and added all of the ones i found to test and its working fine here. No errors. Im going to pump the rates up and see where they show up.

[willow estuary]

The distribution tables in vanilla have been changed a ton with the new builds, so a lot of older mod distribution tables get broken.
So it can be confusing/frustrating setting them up for mods.

[deft vapor]

@hollow shadow There you go mate. It's all working. I merged your other dist file from scrap weapons with this one and added the other spawns for magazines. Tested with high chance and they are showing up, no distribution errors. Reverted chance to how you left. Cheers

[sour island]

Anyone here familiar with the lua hooks?

I see this in the java

if (LuaHookManager.TriggerHook("CalculateStats", this))

but I don't see anything in lua mentioning it so if I wanted to run a function after that trigger would i simply add

Events.CalculateStats.Add(functionName)

somewhere in the lua?

[deft vapor]

I think you are on the right track. But calcstat is not an event you can use i think.

@sour island This may be old but might help. https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8090-references-luamethods-events-exposed-classes/

[sour island]

what does triggerhook mean in this case?

[hollow shadow]

Thanks alot 😮

[sour island]

Oh, I see, it is if I wanted to trigger the calcstats in lua

is there a way to add a function to the end of calculate stats?

I guess I could use ontick ...

😮 OnPlayerUpdate

[deft vapor]

😆

[sour island]

weird

I don't think playerupdate is what I thought it was

I have a print in the added function and nothing is appearing

[scenic oasis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoND72kxPOE&feature=youtu.be

[severe ridge]

try with custom engine sounds, night vision at night and louder art rock on bg 😆

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfJ7LQn8kp8

/\ also, woodcraft guy

[scenic oasis]

I've been said, that sounds can be only replaced, but not added

[severe ridge]

ye

pew pew pew

[scenic oasis]

Would be nice to add echo in the end

[severe ridge]

it doesnt makes enough noise to echo

my other louder guns echoes

[scenic oasis]

This one sounds satisfying

[severe ridge]

loops perfectly at lvl 10 aiming :p

ratatatatata

[scenic oasis]

More like ratatatatataaaaaa

Omg, didn't expect this

[severe ridge]

ratatataaaaah, much better

[gaunt pendant]

@sour island try Hook.CalculateStats.Add(yourFunc)

[sour island]

No dice

I'm using OnEquipPrimary at the moment for more reliable results

Hook.OnEquipPrimary.Add(FunTime)

function FunTime()

tried local function, and function by itself

hook and events

is Print("") correct?

[gaunt pendant]

OnEquipPrimary is an Event tho

[sour island]

o

[gaunt pendant]

not sure if Print exists, print should though

[sour island]

it is print, my fault, I meant more so the quotation marks

[gaunt pendant]

lua allows both single and double quotes, yea

[sour island]

no print messages are showing up- is it meant to show up in the log?

[gaunt pendant]

yea should be in %userdir%\Zomboid\Logs<timestamp>_DebugLog.txt

[sour island]

oh- is it not going to show up in the command console?

[gaunt pendant]

probably does, but that is way too hard to spot 😄

[sour island]

nothing in either

[sour island]

ooh

I misunderstood the modding help posts

what does the function player bit do?

[gaunt pendant]

that's your callback

this specific hook gets the player as an arg

[sour island]

from the modding document I thought you just had to throw the hook/events line in somewhere and the first argument would be the function you'd be calling - and have it written somewhere else

so will this run AFTER calcstats is ran?

also is it mean to be (player?, does including the ( do something?

[gaunt pendant]

it's the same as

  -- do stuff
end

Hook.CalcualteStats.Add(myCallBack)```

just inline and not naming the function

[sour island]

I had that then, but the printing was in the function

[gaunt pendant]

minus the typo 😄

[sour island]

I didn't have the player part, which may be the issue

[gaunt pendant]

nah shouldn't

this will run somewhere between the calculation yes

[sour island]

as long as it doesn't interrupt

[gaunt pendant]

I think it might override that logic yea

[sour island]

My goal is to make an auto eat

[gaunt pendant]

yea my hunger/thirst doesn't really move with that Hook added

and those "default" functions are all private lol

yea u need a better Event/Hook 😄

maybe hook into Hook.AutoDrink

recreate that logic in lua and add your own

(or better even use some other Event that triggers less often)

[sour island]

I'll figure it out

thanks though

[sour island]

@gaunt pendant did you have that lua code in lua/client?

[gaunt pendant]

y

[sour island]

I can't even get what you have above to work :\

[gaunt pendant]

Dunno man, mod not loaded in savegame?

[sour island]

it is there

I'm so confused

hooks

[gaunt pendant]

?

[sour island]

I had a S at the end of Hook cause Events is plural

but that doesn't work either

so I'm confused again

[gaunt pendant]

Try Events.EveryTenMinutes, if that never fires something's wrong with ur mod

[sour island]

does end have to be indented under Hook or aligned with it?

[gaunt pendant]

indentation does not matter in lua

[sour island]

I have github pointed at the folder? would it be causing a lockup?

[gaunt pendant]

nah

[sour island]

does every ten minutes run at minute 0 or?

[gaunt pendant]

ye

[sour island]

probably something I am simply not seeing

[sour island]

there's nothing in the mod but that function

[gaunt pendant]

drop that in Userdir\Zomboid\mods

make a new savegame and make sure the mod appears and is disabled

unzip!

not drop 😄

[sour island]

I have been using my modding save

[gaunt pendant]

make sure your mod is enabled for the save then and not just from the main menu

if that still doesn't work you probably have a syntax error somewhere and your file is not loaded due to that - any error would show up in the logfile

[sour island]

I have been enabling it, but let me try with a new save

your zip works

I didn't have examplefunction = function

my syntax was function examplefunction()

[gaunt pendant]

no difference

that's both valid

[sour island]

I didn't have ... in the ()

other than that it's identical then

[gaunt pendant]

remove the ... and change it to function ExampleFunction() it should still work

[sour island]

I dont have a ;

that'd break it lol

[gaunt pendant]

mh

nah that's also fine without

[sour island]

would have the examplefunction be local effect it being called?

[gaunt pendant]

nope

all works

[sour island]

I'll sit with it and figure out what I'm doing wrong

thanks again

[gaunt pendant]

👍

[sour island]

turns out AutoEat() is an internal function

that's what I named my mod and function

named it AutoEatMOD and it works

now I can start throwing code at the wall and atleast get some errors

thank you for your patience

[gaunt pendant]

No worries, happy modding 🙂

[wicked yacht]

Is it possible to call a SurvivorDesc function for an IsoPlayer object? I need to call the SurvivorDesc class functions setFemale(boolean) and setTorso(string) on a player to fix some animation bugs, but can't figure it out

[nimble spoke]

I don't think so, those are only used during character creation, before all the info is actually sent and the new character created

[wicked yacht]

Damn, because the mod I'm working on is a respawn mod and if the player doesn't select the same gender as their previous character this happens

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/232196827577974784/782459847014350908/unknown.png

It stays like that until they reload

Maybe I can override when the player is in the character creator?

[nimble spoke]

what are the steps for this respawn?

[wicked yacht]

well, the mod saves every time the player gains XP, then when the player dies and creates a new character it stores the current x/y/z, loads the saved character, sets the player to the stored x/y/z, stops all actions, resets all items, resets body damage, resets Moodles, and optionally subtracts XP from all skills (you can also fully re enable permadeath if you want).

This one bug is the last bug I have.

The mod was inspired by another respawn mod (new code and features, though) and the other mod has this exact, same issue

I'm probably gonna add an override for the "make new character" button that lets the user select a spawn area then automatically does all the stuff that normally requires player input (with gender related overrides). I hate how janky the current method is, a proper "respawn" button would be nice.

[severe ridge]

how do i use this on 41?
boolean invisible

i try to set it true or false in functions but it only returns stack traces :B

[nimble spoke]

@wicked yacht Maybe skip the new character part entirely? I agree, a proper respawn button would be perfect

[severe ridge]

bright guns gets bloodied so fast :V

[severe ridge]

vests fixed again :l

[wicked yacht]

Well, I can't fully skip it as the player still needs to select a town to spawn in and I need the newly generated player model to override

[fallow bridge]

Just wanna say b41 allows you to quickly respawn on the same saves if that’s what your doing

[hollow shadow]

vests fixed again :l
@severe ridge wait, you shoved 2 of them at a time? That’s illegal!

[severe ridge]

8V just testing, leave my multi hit alone

https://tenor.com/view/oblivion-elder-scrolls-stop-right-there-stop-criminal-scum-gif-16138905

[wicked yacht]

My mod respawns the same character you had before, skill points and all

[fallow bridge]

Oh

[wicked yacht]

It's primarily aimed at multiplayer as I've included management features, but single player will be fully supported. By default when you die there is consequence of all your skills xp being reduced to below 0, requiring you to earn even more than normal (eg you need to get 450xp in a skill instead of 300), but with a press of a key it goes into "easy mode" where there is no xp loss. Another press of the key and full permadeath is enabled. There are server options to disabled any of the modes and set a mode as default.

There is currently a respawn mod already, but it's buggy, has no consequence for dying, lacks features, and is abandoned

[drifting ore]

does anyone has some knowledge on how the lighting system int he game works?

i did that for fun / research

using projections and C4d

but the same could be done in Unity or Ue4 for instance

[scenic oasis]

Question: can you make your car spawn in specific spots?
I want to make like 10 places, where you can find it with 100% chance

[drifting ore]

some modders have done it already so I guess it's possible

[wicked yacht]

The game is fully isometric sans some models. Currently it's not possible to add any sort of 3D lighting as a sort of drop in. Shadows and stuff ARE possible in isometric games (Brigador does it), but it requires every single 2D object to have a normal map.

[drifting ore]

yes i have seen that too,

[fallow bridge]

The game is 2.5d

[drifting ore]

Wish the buildings look like that after a explosion or fire

[frail brook]

That's what happens when your development is painfully slow... Your graphics get outdated...

[wicked yacht]

How do I add to the game's localization table without having to override one of the files?

[nimble spoke]

you mean the files in lua/shared/translate?

[wicked yacht]

Yes

[nimble spoke]

don't worry about that, those you actually have to use the correct name, but you only override the entries that already exist in game

you don't need to add everything, just your new entries or the ones you want to override

[wicked yacht]

Well my question is how do I add new entries?

[nimble spoke]

just follow the naming convention, for example ContextMenu_MyNewEntry = "My New Entry"

and be sure it is in the right file

then in your code you use getText("ContextMenu_MyNewEntry") in place of the text you would use

[wicked yacht]

Well I know about the code side, I just don't know anything about creating/adding new entries.

What is "the right file", is there any specific place the file goes, in the official localization files the strings are done like IGUI_EN = {Example = "Example Text"} but if I do something similar it doesn't work so what's the proper method?

[nimble spoke]

check the file names in pz folder, they're the same for all languages except the language code at the end, then use those in your mod too, ContextMenu_EN, ContextMenu_RU and so on

then copy any entry that works in game

your example should actually be IGUI_EN = { IGUI_Example = "Example text", }

every entry has the category begore the entry, IGUI_ ContextMenu_ Tooltip_ and so on

[deft vapor]

Does anyone know what causes this?

[nimble spoke]

@deft vapor a recipe is trying to call "Give100MWXP" and it doesn't exist

[deft vapor]

There are a load of these. They do exist.

[nimble spoke]

what do you mean?

[wicked yacht]

disable all your mods then re enable one by one. That'll let you know which mod is the issue

The bit about category is irrelevant because that is just formatting and code style. I can have HeebeeJeebies as the as the localization variable name, the game won't care.

My issues are that I don't know if there is any specific location for translation files or can be anywhere in lua/share

I don't know if there is a mod specific table they should be getting added too

I don't know the correct format (adding in the missing comma does't do anything).

I'm repeating myself endlessly at this point, just getting more and more verbose as I do so. I think I'll just dig into someone else's mod and see how they did it

[deft vapor]

Apparently people thought Give200MWXP this format was a native game function. There are a lot of calls to some form of GiveXP on many of my mods and they don't exist... Thanks..

[wicked yacht]

Maybe version incompatability?

[inner coral]

Hey guys, is there a mod that improves the optimization of the game?

[deft vapor]

I wouldn't know. If it is, a quick fix would be easy. Just need the proper format.

[inner coral]

Maybe lower the graphics?

[wicked yacht]

@nimble spoke I appreciate the attempted help

[inner coral]

Mmmm i guess not

[deft vapor]

Intel card? :p

[wicked yacht]

The couple main ways to improve performance are to lower the graphical options and to update to the IWBUMS build

[inner coral]

Oh yeah.

[inner coral]

Yeah, jjust attempted that

It works for 1 minute max and the game crashes

[deft vapor]

Proper way to give xp is Recipe.OnGiveXP.Blacksmith10, instead of this Give100MWXP. Might be a version thing indeed. I'll fix manually and hint the authors.

[deft vapor]

I play with a intel hd 4000. whats yours?

[wicked yacht]

HD 400

should be around the same performance as Nue's

[inner coral]

Maybe. When i go outside the game starts to go crappy a little bit, until it crashes

[nimble spoke]

@wicked yacht there's nothing else you need for translations, just put the files in the correct language folder and that's it

[deft vapor]

Lemme give you my settings, maybe it will help. I'll pm.

[nimble spoke]

@inner coral post in #old_techsupport

[inner coral]

Aight ill check, thanks

[inner coral]

Yeah already posted.

[deft vapor]

There are only functions for up to 25 xp on base game. Mods need to add their own if they want more.. Its not a version thing.

[wicked yacht]

better yet, if you want to make a mod that does what you say, but is balanced and logical, you could make a mod that adds metal canteens

But I think if you just add IsCookable = TRUE, to an item's entry it'd do what you want

Hey @tame mulch I've been using AUD and it's tight as hell, one request though: can you add an option to map the arrow keys to the super speed (forget what it's called) option?

Sometimes I wanna switch between "gotta go fast" and "gotta go slow"

I suggest the arrow keys too, since I'm on a non-qwerty layout and your super speed is tied to WASD, regardless of what I have rebound to my movement

[tame mulch]

good idea!

I will add it

[cyan drum]

does anyone here know how priority works? like given this list

which mod will be the last to load and thus have the highest priority?

(it's the last to load, so it would overwrite stuff that came before it, right?)

[tame mulch]

alphabet priority

[cyan drum]

so that means slocan lake got priority over raven creek and eerie country, right?

[tame mulch]

yep

[cyan drum]

is there anyway to change this?

[wicked crane]

Rename?

[cyan drum]

but will this work on an existing save if I haven't been to conflicting cells?

[wicked crane]

Idk if it would work with all mods,I meant just add like "z" in front of mod name for example

[cyan drum]

new denver (slocan lake) has conflicting cells with raven creek and eerie county, but the cells in question, on new denver's side, are woodlands

so I'd rather them be overwritten by the stuff in raven creek and eerie county

@wicked crane but would this work on an existing save?

@tame mulch actually in the files, the mod shows up as "New Denver"

I take it the file name would be the priority name it uses, right?

[deft vapor]

Anyone else having problems with Paw Low Loot? It's crashing my game and giving me no errors to work with. Game works fine if I take it off.

[tame mulch]

AUD update:

• Now speed walk on arrow buttons. You can walk slow by WASD and fast by Arrows.
• teleport to the floor above / below by combination Ctrl+UP, Ctrl+Down arrow buttons.

@cunning canyon Request done with bonus 😄

[cunning canyon]

Omg yassss

you're the best, thanks!

[wicked crane]

Nope you have a conflicting mod somehow

[wicked crane]

Idk if that would even work, test and let me know (:

[cyan drum]

I tried it so I guess we'll find out if I ever go there lol

might be a long time before I go there though

I'm very much a "build a base and stay in it as long as possible" player rather than nomadic

but I'll let you know if I find evidence of if it worked or not

[deft vapor]

It crashed being the only mod activated. So no conflict.

[wicked crane]

@nue#4836 I run this mod and I have 50 other mods so idk

My game never crashes

[wicked crane]

I have doubts it would be that easy :v maybe ask #mapping

[cyan drum]

mapping told me to ask here lol

[mortal ivy]

@deft vapor just to be sure what game version are you useing?

[deft vapor]

41.50

[mortal ivy]

So that should be fine

[deft vapor]

I also run a bunch. Took me a while to zero in what was causing it. No mods work fine, all my other mods without pll work fine, but if i add pll I crash. Just pll on a new game also crash.

[wicked crane]

This is my mod list @deft vapor , idk. You'd think I would have issues

[mortal ivy]

Weird theory. Try adding all the mods credited on the workshop page for Paw Low

[deft vapor]

Mate, just because we dont have the same issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Now if you are not going to help, kindly go away.

[wicked crane]

I took my time out of my day to show you what I have in my game, maybe you NEED Fashion montage or something.

[wicked crane]

no problem mate 😎 👍

[mortal ivy]

Cuz if it's crashing with only that mod running, then it's possible the mods used to build this might be required

[deft vapor]

Will do.

[mortal ivy]

Soo anyhow. What I came for

[deft vapor]

Rofl all you want asshat. Those mods are clearly stated as optional.

[mortal ivy]

This will probably seem dumb but when making/editing a recipe and you want to have an or option ... Is it just a / in between on the same line?

Or can that not be done and you'd have to create ba whole new recipe

[wicked crane]

I merely meant it as "I have a billion mods and don't crash, stereo-typically someone with a massive LO will have issues, and it is surprising that you are crashing with only a single mod loaded, logic stating that this is the mod causing issues if it has no dependencies". It wasn't a slight against you, or anything. I'm sorry I came off in this tone?

[wicked crane]

you mean like TeachedRecipes = Make X;Make Y;Make Z? :v nvm

[nimble spoke]

@mortal ivy it actually depends on what exactly is optional, it doesn't work combined with a few things that can go in recipes

[mortal ivy]

Maybe if I'm more specific it'll help

I'm using the into the wild mod

Which adds the action of hunting for crickets or grasshoppers using berries

But it is only set in the code for one type of generic berry

I'd like to change it to being able to accept the other 10 nutrition berries if I have them

So since it's only one item I'm hoping it's not weirdly complex

@nimble spoke so in this case nothing is being combined

It's just one item for an action recipe

[nimble spoke]

if it uses a hunger amount from the berry instead of the whole item then it can't be combined with the /

[wicked crane]

recipe Hunt for Grass hoppers { BerryGeneric2=1, Result :Grasshopper=2, Time :360, Category :Actions, }

This bit , couldnt you just add another Berry Type?

[nimble spoke]

you can have onion/tomato but onion=2/tomato=2 doesn't work (or at least didn't work, I don't know if they ever changed that)

[deft vapor]

Pll still crashes will all related mods. At least i know its the fantasy pack now, the other mods are not requirements. Ill just play without it.

[wicked crane]

    {
        BerryBlack/BerryBlue/BerryGeneric1/BerryGeneric2/BerryGeneric3/BerryGeneric4/BerryGeneric5,
        Result    :Grasshopper=2,
        Time    :360,
        Category    :Actions,
}```
sorry for formatting
Like this?

[mortal ivy]

Yeah you didn't understand my suggestion I think

[mortal ivy]

That's basically what I'm hoping will work

But not as many

Generic berry one and 3 I think only have a nutrition of 5 so I want it to be balanced

[wicked crane]

interesting 🙂

[mortal ivy]

But if that's the way I should code it

[deft vapor]

Care to clarify for me? Pll has no other required mods, only ones that extend its usability. I added those just in case, its the same thing. There's nothing else to get, is there?

[wicked crane]

idk, maybe Soul can look at that. I am just curious. This is what I thought it's supposed to be like

[nimble spoke]

That's basically it, but no =1 at the end

[mortal ivy]

So no you are correct in that no mods are listed as required. But if you look on the workshop page all the way near the bottom it says Creds (thus crediting the mods that were used ether as parts or reference along with the mod authors who helped with advice).

I am suspecting that maybe at least one of those mods listed as credits may be required for Pll to run

[wicked crane]

@mortal ivy how are you defining "nutrition value" as a single number? I see where it displays: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Calories

[mortal ivy]

Just hunger reduced

[wicked crane]

Ah. HungerChange. okie

[willow estuary]

Nope.

[mortal ivy]

But it's not something in that code or that I'm adding

[mortal ivy]

I assume you are the mod author then?

[willow estuary]

I collaborate with him on occasion.

I have no idea why PLL doesn't work for you, but I assure you, you do not need any other mods for it to work ordinarily.

The thing is PZ is just weird, some mods just don't work for some people and nothing seems to fix it in these cases.

[sour island]

Verify first

[willow estuary]

Oh wait, are you using build 40?

[wicked crane]

Think he said 41.50 earlier nvm he's typing now

[mortal ivy]

Okay one I don't use it. Someone else is having this issue. And I'm attempting to help them with rational deduction and trial & error

[deft vapor]

Mod has been reacquired, game reinstalled. I'm on 41.50. I think i tried everything at this point, its ok. Thank you for the ideas.

[willow estuary]

Some mods just don't work for some people and after a year of dealing with these mysterious cases all I can say is....

🤷‍♂️

[sour island]

New save?

[willow estuary]

PZ is exceptionally fussy re operating systems and hardware.

[mortal ivy]

Do let me know if you try what I suggested and if that works.

[deft vapor]

I will, thanks. 👍

[deft vapor]

New game has been tested, yes. apoc, sandbox. Crash.

[sour island]

When you uninstalled did you delete anything left?

[deft vapor]

I did indeed. No traces. Even game settings. Where the saves are.

[sour island]

There's also appdata and my documents directories for Zomboid

Maybe it's just not meant to be :'(

[wicked crane]

You said you get no errors in console text file either..? I doubt event viewer would tell you much other than program terminated unexpectedly ... Best of luck..

[mortal ivy]

So remove the =1 at the end of the code when adding the extra options?

[wicked crane]

If you leave the =1, I am assuming it would require one of each of the listed items, not just "one of the following.." ? Or just not work at all.. I would like to know this

[nimble spoke]

it won't work

as I said / isn't compatible with =1 or :1

[mortal ivy]

I mean that makes sense since / represents or

[wicked crane]

so for example if I wanted recipe to require both Black & Blue berries you would change to

    {
        BerryBlack=1
        BerryBlue=1
        Result    :Grasshopper=2,
        Time    :360,
        Category    :Actions,
}``` ?

[mortal ivy]

Yeah I think so

[nimble spoke]

BerryBlack, BerryBlue, would also work, you don't really need that =1 I think it means the same thing

[mortal ivy]

Thanks for the help

[hollow shadow]

so for example if I wanted recipe to require both Black & Blue berries you would change to

    {
        BerryBlack=1
        BerryBlue=1
        Result    :Grasshopper=2,
        Time    :360,
        Category    :Actions,
}``` ?

@wicked crane dont forget to put commas,,,,,,,,, @mortal ivy those are missed many times

[willow estuary]

Good catch; formatting errors like that in scripts are a fucking nightmare.

[hollow shadow]

BerryBlack,
BerryBlue,

[drifting ore]

I'm curious as to whether or not turrets and tanks are a possibility in PZ, given that someone made a military apc mod....

[wicked crane]

maybe possible one day some type of reskinned NPC survivor variant with a custom firearm would be neat.

honestly I don't know if NPCs can shoot from vehicles

[drifting ore]

The ones from the mod Superb Survivors don't shoot from the windows. Quite frustrating really.

[wicked crane]

it's probably limitations

[drifting ore]

Probably, though I find that Survivors getting stuck in an animation loop is much more problematic.

[wicked crane]

Is there a mod that adds simple cooking expansions such as pouring canned mushroom soup into bowl?

@nimble spoke would is be possible to create a recipe to shuffle a solved cube so you can solve it again? maybe be able to do 2-3 times before you turn it into "broken cube"? possibly based off lucky trait etc

[tame mulch]

Mod almost done!
If anyone wants to help test the balance and a bugs in the closed beta test of the mod (In steam you can publish the mod only for friends) - write to the private messages of the discord.

[autumn garnet]

Is there the minigame to force the doors of houses and the trunks of cars? it would be nice to adjust the difficulty of the minigames according to the strength of the character, if the player fails it can break the tool he is using to force

and for the hotwire minigame, it will depend on its level of electricity

[tame mulch]

#pz_b42_chat message

[autumn garnet]

Thanks ! it's a very good job 😄

[tame mulch]

Thanks

[nimble spoke]

@wicked crane You can do that in my Relaxing Time mod

[wicked crane]

It doesn't let me reshuffle the cube after I've solved it once though? It just becomes unusable (nicely solved texture) "Cube" after 1 use

[nimble spoke]

hmmm, I may have forgot to add that recipe lol

[viral compass]

Question, I just got pointed out that the inventory item icons will be replaced by 3D models. Do we know if its also intended that the regular in game tiles are replaced with 3D models?

[sour island]

:0

I hope so

[winter viper]

Would this channel be for advice with save editing? or strictly mods?

[viral compass]

I dont as im drawing a ton of tiles 🤣 so I hope to get some clarification if its true or not

[sour island]

I hope items and furniture become 3D

Walls and stuff can stay as is

I want to flip tables and bookcases

[nimble spoke]

so far I think only items on ground are planned to be 3D

[viral compass]

@iron salmon Do you know / able to tell if all tiles will be replaced with 3D models or just the items on the floor/inventory? would be a waste to make a lot of custom stuff to have to replace it all later

[iron salmon]

Not all tiles

[viral compass]

Thank you for the quick reply! and thank god 🙂

[cerulean yew]

a question about refrigeration, guys. I know that's possible to choose the level of refrigeration, on sandbox game, but is there a line or a command that governs the efficiency of fridge, on the directory?

Or is it hardcoded?

[viral compass]

Sry man, not a clue

[sour island]

There is stuff in lua about temperature

I'd check there

[cerulean yew]

don't worry Daddy, i understand that's not simple

i'd like to extend a bit the maintenance of food

[sour island]

Why not dirk

There's twice as much dirk in his name

[cerulean yew]

🤣

it's a real shame to see tons of food rotten 😢

what a waste

[sour island]

You can jar food but it's very limited in vanilla I think

There's alot of cooking/food mods with more features

[cerulean yew]

i think is hardcoded

[sour island]

What exactly are you hoping to get from it?

[cerulean yew]

i've found the durability of fresh food and rotten days on the directory Media/scripts/items_food

i'd like to extend the refrigeration of fridges

[sour island]

Does food in game go bad if frozen?

[cerulean yew]

for to slow decay of food.

mmmh

[sour island]

Fridges have two containers to them

One cools the other freezes

[cerulean yew]

idk exactly, but remembered that frozen food didn't decay

yeah

[sour island]

I'm just saying what more do you want than freezing or jarring?

[cerulean yew]

freezing

[sour island]

You can already freeze

When you check fridges there's two containers

One is a freezer

[cerulean yew]

yes, i know.... my intention was to increase the fridge refrigeration, (not the freezer), for to extend the durability of food on the world game

but idk if it's hardcoded

[sour island]

I would imagine it is, you could change the days fresh values but you'd have to change alot

[cerulean yew]

yeah, it should be good, but it's a long work 😄

[sour island]

I think the default values are pretty accurate though

Do you speed up time alot?

[cerulean yew]

nono

2 hours in real for to complete a day

thanks a lot for the patient and the help, Chuck 👍

always kind

[sour island]

No prob

I can take a look in the Lua once I get home

But I don't think that kind of stuff would be there

[cerulean yew]

yeah, i agree with you

fortunately we have nice skills for to survive, farming, fishing, trapping animals

[sour island]

Oh, there is food spoilage in sandbox

lol

[cerulean yew]

yep

i have chosen "Highest" refrigeration for fridges, and "lowest" spoilage for food

[sour island]

So problem solved then

Amen to sandbox

[cerulean yew]

^_^ it's really really funny

[cerulean yew]

another question, what do you think about 9mm pistol? i mean, i wrong or it seems a bit weak??

[drifting ore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OlS8Mo83Ss&ab_channel=AyrtonOrio

[charred ridge]

that looks genuinly sweet

[mortal ivy]

Is that a lighting mod test?

Or is that something the Dev's are working on

[charred ridge]

most probably a mod

[drifting ore]

nono this is just to have fun

not a mod, not the dev

[mortal ivy]

@nimble spoke thanks for the help yesterday that code edit worked fine

[mortal ivy]

Could it be a mod?

Cuz while I sure as fuck can't utilize anything like that now. I'm sure many could and would love to have lighting like that in PZ.

[drifting ore]

no it's not a mod, I did that to have fun

and if crazy modders see it, well maybe it wil linspire them

[frail brook]

I believe it's just an isometric scene made in some external engine , right? Pz needs better shaders for sure, and overal model update ( RTX , would be fun)

[drifting ore]

but i absolutely dont have the skills required to do so

well technically this is better than RTX since it was done in c4d4

c4d

so reflections are accurate, GI too, etc

all is RT

[frail brook]

I never tried c4d, but believe those lighting is not for real-time rendering, right?

[drifting ore]

c4d is like blender or 3dmax

[frail brook]

I mean, RTX is best thing you can get with games... as long as you stick with realtime rendering

and not movies or animation

[drifting ore]

rendering in non real time uses raytraced ''unified'' lighting system

[frail brook]

I mean PZ doesn't even have static shadows...

(except cars and player model). I would think there would be some better shader mods... something like atmosFEar

[willow estuary]

The graphics rendering stuff is all Java side, and not lua, and, as such, isn't moddable.

[grizzled grove]

the game constructs a kind of fake 3d for the environment, but it's still 2d. Certainly room for improvement

[drifting ore]

@willow estuary i had no idea, that explains a lot

[frail brook]

but is it possible to fine tune colors and lights? kinda like sweet fx?

[eternal stirrup]

They did change the colours after This war of mine was released

[willow estuary]

I don't want to say anything definite, as this isn't anything I've really dug into, and I've never even heard of sweet fx until just now.

But I think what you're taking about is probably not likely?

The scope of what actually is moddable with project zomboid, although you can do a lot of cool stuff with modding, is also quite limited with a lot of hardcoded java side barriers.

[wicked crane]

Wow, holy shit @frail brook . I am astonished that ReShade hooks into PZ

No idea what it will look like, or if any effects would even work

I'm gonna mess around with it tonight ]

Well, it seems like a lot of them do work. Certain effects break the game for sure

[frail brook]

I though they actually work with DirectX and they also have post process effects... which i think won't require the alterations with codes?...

[frail brook]

I believe AA and A. filtering would be the ones crashing game

[wicked crane]

I only downloaded the basic sweet fx pack but they don't cause game to crash what I've tried so far.. Interesting

[frail brook]

can you try them ingame and see how they interact with game?

[wicked crane]

Yeah I will tonight. I can already imagine that it won't look quite right, but with some tweaking it is a possibility some cool things may come out of it

I'll download a bunch of effects and test some out

[wicked crane]

If you could find what effects/ values make the game look nice, or have your desired outcome.. I feel like there's some cool stuff that could be done. This is real time, no PS or edits:

No Reshade:

light-CRT simulated effect:

No Reshade:

(cranked this up so you could see) simulated "lighting" with bloom, lensflare, godrays are possible etc:

shaders are globally applied to entire screen so some UI elements will look funky.. But I honestly think it's possible to compile a decent looking preset if you spent enough time on it..

[severe ridge]

bloom always hurts me eyes ;-;

[wicked crane]

Yeah that pic is like on bf3 levels but just for example lol
Threshold is way off :V

[shrewd grove]

mind i ask what reshade setting that is? haha

[wicked crane]

Quick combo I put together of tweaked FakeHDR, AMD sharpening and advancedCRT + border fx - I think.

I don't recall what pack they're in, I just downloaded every available repo it offers during installation because I wanted to try a bunch out.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2366717227

This should just be in the base game should it not?

[cerulean yew]

do you know if "Strong" trait adds only strength bonus, or there are other bonus?

I mean, something of hardcoded for to hit harder, for example

the trait's description tells: "Extra knockback...."

[tame mulch]

"Better lockpicking" mod released!

[indigo hound]

I hope something like this will appear in the official build of the game

[serene topaz]

Does anyone know how to tweak the weapon spawns for britas weapon pack, Its way to high. I tried changing it in sandbox settings but it doesnt seem to effect it

[dusky talon]

is there a mod for making a hairspray and lighter flamethrower?

[brave ferry]

Is there a mod which adds an allergic to peanuts trait?

Just an interesting idea I think

[wicked crane]

The mods distributions overwrite vanilla spawns, you'd have to change it within the mod or wait until the pack gets separated

[serene topaz]

alright thanks

[wicked crane]

Allergies huh? That's kind of interesting

[brave ferry]

Yeah if someone wants to just take the idea I want to try it out

[keen edge]

[cursive bramble]

so after three days of trying to reverse engineer other mods to figure out things, and no success at all.

Does anyone know how i can go about defining and making a new moveable? i know .packs are involved, but trying to use an existing TIS packs texture/sprite such as the wooden crate or drying machine - only causes that object to spawn - What i want is to reuse an texture detect its my own object and thus modify the object with mod data?

I actually got far in my mod idea long ago but have since lost those files (cursed windows 10)
i did not want to use moveables then - i instead used the build objects or whatever.

Please if anyone can help i would appreciate (why is there no tutorial on basic new objects. plenty tile zeds, plenty clothes and weapons and recipes. nothing on build objects)

[hollow shadow]

I need help on that too lol

[plucky nova]

oh, dj, I saw that you were making that scrap armor mod, i have a few questions if you don't mind

[iron ermine]

I can't use the custom spawns or custom sounds or music. I've tried everything i could think of removing all of the mods even deleting the game files and reinstalling from scratch. Any ideas how to fix this?

[river plinth]

Never did anything with moveables myself, but I did quite some testing with normal building objects, so where are you stuck?

[rugged vessel]

Hi guys is there a place or mod that allows me to set a certain place for zombies to not spawn?

[wicked crane]

Btw, if anyone cares, I've been playing with Reshade using several effects enabled and have not noticed any issues

[carmine cosmos]

Got any good screenshots to show us how it looks?

[wicked crane]

Not really. I don't have power on my current save and haven't had a whole of time, I'd say 1/3 of the effects are useless or don't look right, but bloom/ lens flares and godrays actually "work".

It looks a bit odd, because sometimes your shirt or a UI element will hit the brightness/color threshold and have the effect cast on it, but I think it's possible to make the game look "nicer". I have some fake hdr and sharpening, few other things on. Makes shadows "darker and deeper" and makes the icons "pop" a bit more. Here's something I was just messing around with, CRT like overlay..

also here's a really bad picture showing bloom/ lensflare

[carmine cosmos]

Hm, interesting, does it need any particular configuration to work or you just install it normally?

[wicked crane]

just install like you would normally actually, just choose correct rendering api

It's definitely interesting to see these type of effects on the fly in-game

[carmine cosmos]

Haven't used reshade in a while, what is a correct rendering api?

[wicked crane]

for PZ opengl, it prompts selection upon installation

[carmine cosmos]

Ah okay thanks, will give it a go 😉

[wicked crane]

I will share any presets if I ever come up with one that looks half decent, I just installed all default fxs from repo's it offered, effects import fine as well

[carmine cosmos]

Did you import SweetFX?

[wicked crane]

yeah, there was a few towards the end that didn't have all the legacy fx checked by default, i imported everything just cuz I wanted the most to mess around with before trying to dl other fx off the internet, I tried some 2d bump mapping stuff it imported fine

[carmine cosmos]

Ok, I installed it now, gonna see what it can do

But I do remember that effect tweaking is a painstaking process

You can lose days working on your "perfect" effect 😄

[wicked crane]

BloomAndLensFlares seems to be way better than qUINT bloom for this game just to save you some time, somethings look so funny 😛

oh in settings you can bind a toggle key cuz by default there isn't one iirc

[carmine cosmos]

Are there any other effects that definitively make the game look better?

Would be a good idea to start from those as a baseline

[wicked crane]

CAS and FakeHDR, Deband is interesting to mess with. CRT is fun too

avoid enabling yellow fx

outside of these I'm struggling to find anything in the default packs that "improves" the look of the game tbh

[carmine cosmos]

Not having luck starting the game with Reshade 🤔

[wicked crane]

installed to the projectzomboid64.exe?

If it's working, you'll see an overlay at the top of the screen. Home key by default to bring up iirc

[carmine cosmos]

I see the overlay, but when I start a new game it just freezes

[wicked crane]

weird, are you on fullscreen or windowed by any chance?

[carmine cosmos]

Fullscreen

[wicked crane]

for SnG try putting borderless and vsync on

[carmine cosmos]

SnG?

[wicked crane]

shits and giggles, sorry :^)

[carmine cosmos]

I thought vsync just works bad in this game

i get screen tear bad in any game without vsync personally i'd rather have consistent 60fps because i have a 60 hz monitor, but other people prefer uncapped

TBH i have not tested fullscreen w/ reshade only borderless

[carmine cosmos]

Maybe my AMD drivers are crapping their paints

Doesn't work with borderless either

[wicked crane]

:/ That's weird. I've been using for 2 days now and it was fine.. Sorry

[carmine cosmos]

No problem, just wanted to try it out

[wicked crane]

maybe other people with radeon cards can try later. c:

@tame mulch You think its possible to make a framework for throwing weapons? (javelins / axes / knives)?

Hey Dj! I downloaded your mods scrap weapons and scrap armors! Nice job, dude, the mods are really good

I just wanna say respect to all the modders Who make great mods and makes new content to the game and respect to the new modders that try and make mods never give up and keep doing what you are doing 💯

[drifting ore]

I'm no mod genius, but I think it'd be hilarious if someone made a sound mod that overrides the zombie death sound with a fart noise. When you shoot a zombie with a high powered gun, there is no fall animation, they just instant transmission to the ground dead asf, and I think a fart noise would enhance the silliness of such an occurrence.

"Better lockpicking" mod big update:

• Changed the balance of the lockpicking. Now you can try to pick any lock. The higher the level, the easier it is to lockpick and the less chance of breaking the lock/window.
• Now you can not break the ignition locks with a lockpick (Balance)
• The progress of lockpicking with a crowbar is saving now
• Fixed a bug that it is impossible to lockpick the door inside buildings
• Improved alarm check process
• Increased strength of the lockpick
• Added new translations

[analog sandal]

easily doable tbh

[tepid river]

Does it work with a controller

[tame mulch]

no

[tepid river]

Controller support would be great

[wicked crane]

you could possibly use a 3rd party program like rewasd to remap buttons to correspond with key press/ mouse, if you tried hard enough

[neon owl]

@tame mulch create a pastime mod to use the toys, decks, cd players, etc.

[tame mulch]

heh, Rubiks cube? Interesting

[neon owl]

I don't know if there's a mod like this already

[neon owl]

@tame mulch you could also create a religious trait, where the player can pray to feel calmer, better, etc

anyway, you are skilled, so I leave these ideas for you

[late hound]

@neon owl There are a few mods that do stuff like that with toys, rubiks cubes and whatnot.

[neon owl]

is there a list of lua functions?

I can't seem to find a few in the files

are they defined in java or somewhere other than /lua?

[nimble spoke]

There's no list for lua functions, there are thousands of them, and they don't need to be defined in java or anything like that

[severe ridge]

[hollow shadow]

Hay guise after seeing things about mods I'm thinking of making a Project Zomboid mod, any idea request ideas? It can involve models and Lua (I already know PZ modding).
@undone crag can you make a framework for throwable weapons?

[halcyon marlin]

hey could anybody help me make a mod? i have been playing a shit ton of pz lately and want to add my own content. i know how to program a fair amount, i have made games in unity with c# and dabble in lua with roblox, but it is hard for me to wrap my head around modding games. if anyone would be willing to give me a run down of the basics on a stream in a vc one day i would appreciate it. i have read the guides on github and everything, but i just find it easier to watch someone else code and then try it myself and go from there

Is there a mod that allows you to load 223 in m16's? IRL you can use .223 ammo in 5.56 guns (but not backwards tho!).

[blazing totem]

Britas weapon pack @drifting ore

[drifting ore]

Never knew this one actually allows that. Thanks mate.

[tawdry timber]

any of you aware of any mod for SP that allows you to carry over skills/stats on death/new char?
I only know basic C# but as I cant find a mod like this that I really want (maybe with some minor stat/skill loss on death) I was thinking maybe I should look into how hard it would be to mod myself. I have never done anything in Java/Lua though and I'm not really a programmer. 😄

[severe ridge]

if you look for "death" in the workshop, you can see it has been tried before. But might be useful to make one that works properly

[tawdry timber]

thanks, will look into that

[celest wadi]

I see the Z MRE mod, isn't it just reskin of real MREs mod?

or is different?

[celest wadi]

this one, seems very similar to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1521582441

[wicked crane]

It's just different try it out. Both mods have screen shots.

[celest wadi]

I know but I see in mod screen shots all of thing I have seen playing MRE mod

ah I see has more sides

very blind!

[hollow shadow]

Im using blairs mod, its balanced, stuff is placeable and its fresh :v

[tawdry timber]

@wicked yacht I think I just found a comment of yours *on the PZ workshop. Are you the "Two" working on a mod for allowing stat/XP to carry over on death?

[wicked crane]

zombies also drop mres in the other one, there is more/different icons and things are named differently in blairs.. Also drops litter.. I'm just saying differences I see on mod pages. I don't use the other one, and haven't had a chance to play the game past few days.

[celest wadi]

ah so the z-MRE is better?

always annoying that the MRES spawn often on zombie

very unbalance!

[hollow shadow]

im angry cuz im bad at the game

[wicked crane]

i think dj might have this answer as I unfortunately haven't played outside of breaking the game for past few days ((:

[hollow shadow]

use the new one from blair, is balanced

[celest wadi]

ah good! I figure I must drop MRE mod, like must drop swat mod, when MP comes out. Friend complains of balance.

[wicked crane]

swat redux is out, but no vehicles.

[celest wadi]

no I know, friend is whine to me 'armor is too good'

[wicked yacht]

Yes, same guy.

[celest wadi]

I tell 'armor does not matter much, is balanced by rarity and unrepair'

[tawdry timber]

ah nice! if you ever need a willing slave to help with anything (that is not too complicated code-wise) let me know.
also if "subtracting" skills is not possible, what about some path of creating a new char and set XP all over at a lower level? 🤔 But I guess that has already been tried, sorry I just started looking into this today but very excited to hear someone was working on a mod like this. :)

[celest wadi]

unfortuantely argument is not very good, as I find 10 or so SWAT zeds every 1500

maybe more

[wicked crane]

With authentic z on they don't spawn at all right now. It's possibly easy to adjust spawn rate. I think it was like 1 every 25 zombies was swat for me when I was spawning with zbrush..

[hollow shadow]

I saw no swat zombies at all, with authentic Z

[celest wadi]

then agian, there is many police zombie around here, what is auth z?

[hollow shadow]

only found 1 or 2 armor pieces per police station, depending on ur loot settings

[wicked yacht]

The mod actually has 3 modes. The default has it so that on death your skill's XP is set to a negative amount, the other two modes are no skill loss and full permadeath

[wicked crane]

I can just compare rates for another outfit and copy them and see if that works. What would be ideal outfit to base rates off of?

[tawdry timber]

oh you figured that part out? that sounds awesome

personally I would really want some penalty, but still allow some progression. Makes hardcore more fun

[celest wadi]

maybe the FBI antibomb suit x2? not sure if Antibomb is Armor Mod.

[wicked crane]

Its from the same pack

[wicked yacht]

Yeah, I found B's respawn mod way too easy and forgiving. Death needs some sort of penalty

[celest wadi]

ah oke doke.

[tawdry timber]

atm I keep using a cheat mod but it sucks because I often forget to turn it off then I get tempted to "just spawn some logs" 😄

[celest wadi]

I have only found 3 antibomb. So I think I should probably have found 6 SWAT zombie.

[tawdry timber]

as in new char, set skills, then supposed to turn the cheat mod off lul

[celest wadi]

I might use cheat mod to get this fever to go away (not zed infection)

I have been chillin for a week ingame

[wicked crane]

do containers like shelves have a way to grab their icons in game?

is it a var like Icon?

[wicked crane]

I didn't know you were using controller, sorry

[tepid river]

its ok not ur fault

[willow estuary]

Most mods have no controller support.

[wicked crane]

You can use a program like REWASD to map keyboard/ mouse to your controller, and can activate it by doing certain key/button press etc.. Vise versa mapping keyboard to act like controller for splitscreen

[sour island]

Having weird issues with my autoeat mod- and I'm not sure if it's me or not

It uses vanilla functions for eating- specifically eating 1/4 of food each time

But I notice my character gets hungry again extremely fast

So he basically snacks on the same food item 4 or 5 times (while fastforwarding time)

He also gets two chevrons over his weight indicating extreme weight gain and is still hungry shortly after??

Is eating 1/4 bugged?

[nimble spoke]

I think it is just because most of the time eating 1/4 gives very little hunger reduction, and it has nothing to do with gaining or losing weight, it actually depends on the quality of what you eat

nutrition values

[sour island]

So weight gain's rate (+/-) is constant?

I've never hit max gain from 1 food item though

has anyone found a good way to edit or add on to vanilla .x files? i found a blender plugin that should import them on verson 2.79 but it doesnt work as far as i have tried

even if i just got the .x file and could convert it into an obj or something and then re-export it to a .x when i am done would work

i dont actually want to edit it in directx form

mwahaha never mind. try this website (https://www.meshconvert.com/) to convert .x into .obj -> import into blender -> edit and export as .x

how was your result with it? could you test skinned models?

Nowhere, if it doesn't fit in hands, tweak the model itself to get it where it should be

UV mapping

[cursive bramble]

Anyone have experience modding Moveables and or Build Objects with attached lua scripts ? Specifically a script that executes on placing/building the object?

also @undone crag
i do the following to get tile/square at mouse position (though i dont know if it respects zoom levels)

local mX, mY = ISCoordConversion.ToWorld(getMouseX(), getMouseY(), 0);
mX = math.floor( mX );
mY = math.floor( mY );

    -- get the cell
    local cell = getWorld():getCell();
    -- get grid square (tile)
    local sq = cell:getGridSquare(mX, mY, 0);

ripped from [https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8249-tutorial-world-objects/]

[wicked crane]

@halcyon marlin By the way, Blender 2.7.9 still came with a Direct X import/export addon natively.

[nimble spoke]

@halcyon marlin I tried converting character models and the site couldn't do it, then I converted a beard, and it was all messed up in game

[severe ridge]

I would say basics for custom 3D in pz are:
Very low poly, UV map in a single unified object (one material), proper masking which the game has its defaults (transparency, rendering order) and rigging (positioning for each attachment).
Zomboid clothing models and textures are picked by scripts btw

Its easier to do weapons, more complicated for cars (cars can have different file types and arrangement) and clothing is the messed one because of all of that above

Animzed is on the list tho 🤷 things are going to be simplified over time

[halcyon marlin]

animzed please dont end up like creative mode 😖

[halcyon marlin]

did you try any other hair models? i am curious if adding more styles is an option rn
