dude cmon dont tell me u will add a potato in a shotgun as silencer 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

half chasm Mar 3, 2021, 3:29 PM

#

PZ doesn't support durability for silencer so we need a coder to make it XD

rocky lark Mar 3, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

ok, so I have a question.
Would any of you download a mod addon that relabels guns & bullets into layman's terms?
Kind of like rimworld's gun naming system but y'know for PZ guns and modded guns.

zealous wing Mar 3, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

How does Rimworld name guns? Never played it.

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

in a client/lua/ file, does getPlayer(0) always return this player, or does each player have a static id that is the same across all players?

rocky lark Mar 3, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

Names are like "bolt-action rifle" and "pump shotgun", "revolver" and "autopistol" I won't use the name "autopistol" or anything that is TOO basic or TOO advanced but yeah

rocky lark Mar 3, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

zealous wing How does Rimworld name guns? Never played it.

the names would be more like "civilian pistol" or "6-round revolver" or "assault rifle" though I would take suggestions, I'd rename the ammo to be "pistol ammunition" but of course i'd keep the name "shotgun shells" the same, there's no more layman-style than that

grizzled grove Mar 3, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

that's probably a better question for a general audience. I think most the people active in this channel right now prefer the actual ammo names over the dumbed down ones

rocky lark Mar 3, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

ohhh ok

grizzled grove Mar 3, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

unless you're also merging types of ammo into singular stacks, which has a gameplay impact

rocky lark Mar 3, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

nope

drifting ore Mar 3, 2021, 7:34 PM

just get a zip 22 and ur good to go,no trouble no nothing

@sour island This might be a question for you 🤔

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

spark vector in a client/lua/ file, does getPlayer(0) always return *this* player, or does ea...

players connected to the game are ID'd in order

#

I don't know if IDs are reused or not but (0) would be the first IsoPlayer created

#

this can cause issues with mods like superb survivors

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

@sour island thanks

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

also I don't know if getplayer() can use args but there's getspecificplayer()

carmine cosmos Mar 3, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

Chuck here is the goto guy when it comes to code

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:39 PM

carmine cosmos Mar 3, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

He use to work for TIS, until they fired him 😢

#

But let's not talk about that, he is a bit sensitive on that topic

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

yes, they gave me 1 star when I was their uberdriver

#

a kind of firing

#

@spark vector are you working on something in particular?

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

No, someone wanted to know if my mod was MP compatible; I have a line of code that refers to player 0, but should refer to the local player

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

yeah that's not going to work well

#

there are steps you can take to make sure your mod is more likely to not break though

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

pretty easy to fix, but I don't think I even need to; it's in a file that only runs if the mod was enabled halfway through, and it's more of a convenience thing to the player

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

depending on the mod

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

This is for Lockpicking Only

#

It was important when I first released it because people were adding it to their games midway through, but at this point I feel like if someone wants to use it odds are really good that they'd have it enabled already.

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

what is the issue that it's causing?

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:47 PM

#

the code makes it so that if the player chose Burglar, they get gifted the lockpicking skills that they should have received at character gen (but didn't because the mod wasn't active at that time)

#

so in MP that would only work for the first player

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:47 PM

#

you could use OnCreatePlayer()

#

then you wouldn't need getplayer() or specificplayer()

spark vector Mar 3, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

oh yea! that's a good idea

#

i'll get around to it eventually but I'm not going to bother with it until MP

drifting ore Mar 3, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

yes

sour island Mar 3, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

it would still work now, and save you the time after

holy shit this has a silencer as well xDDDDD

im sure brita can make theese the zip 22 has a rich attachment system

ember orchid Mar 3, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

Hey man, if you don't mind me asking, what's got ya so jazzed up about the zip 22? You just don't see a lot of people crazy about it, haha.

drifting ore Mar 3, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

it was in a review of forgotten weapons,i found out its only malfunction would be its often jamming,but its model looks ridicilous and cool at the same time,specially its attachments xD

ember orchid Mar 3, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

I gotcha.

#

It is pretty unique, I'll give it that, haha.

drifting ore Mar 3, 2021, 9:12 PM

the cobray shotgun is also very unique like a rebel gun,but thats already done by brita,even with attachments not mean to it xD

Is there an explanation of what changed with distribution tables? I've been trying to find info to see if I can manually fix a few of the mods I have with broken distribution but no luck so far

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

what kind of mods with distribution you re talking about

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

Just check the error logs. Find the lua and line in it. it will be the first line to use a certain table, that table no longer exists or is now a list of procedural tables

#

for example [mechanic][shelves], either mechanic was entirely removed, or there's no longer a shelves category in it

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 6:31 PM

#

I think a few of them are actually your mods, SF

#

but there are some older ones like the mega mall (that maybe I shouldn't even be using because it's 5 years old), and the more cigarettes mod is having issues which may be giving my smoker character some serious issues

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

better lockpicking also can create lots of lua errors,althou that mod works fine in features

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

I think better lockpicking is one of the few I have that doesn't have distribution errors

#

okay, I think I see what you mean. one of them is erroring out on ["bookstore"]["counter"], but the Distributions file from the base game only has "cashregister" and "other"?

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

yeah bookstore n stuff

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

I gotcha. I think I can handle this then

#

does PZ throw out the whole distribution file if it hits an error, or just the bad lines?

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

i think bad lines,are you the dev of that mod

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

oh no I'm not a dev. just trying to fix spawns on a couple mods I have installed

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

i see

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

it's not a huge deal, but if I can get my error count lower, it helps me see if something is actually broken rather than spawning in one bad place

#

plus I think a few of my mods depend on a recipe magazine spawning and it can't, so that's an issue

#

wait, is the insertTable method of adding spawns not the right way to do it anymore? I was checking to see how the mods without distribution errors do it and it seems they're all on the JSON type format

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

spawning stops at the error line, so everything after that will be ignored

#

Is it happening for any of my build40 mods in build 40? I have separate versions for build 41

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

I'm on the b41 versions on 41

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

ooohhh ok, let me know which mods and I can update with the fix

the boby pin specialy

coarse pollen Mar 4, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

the wire minigame too for hotwiring is good idea as well, although in those years any car that had no stearing lock could be started under the hood

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

yeah,makes it for an immersion

coarse pollen Mar 4, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

a slimjim mod, you know not the greasy snack stick the flat metal thing that you used to be able to open car doors with

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

hmm,no idea about it

coarse pollen Mar 4, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

they eventually phased out with electric locks and the change of mechanics to how they worked

sonic flame Mar 4, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

yeah lockpicking should definitely allow wire hangers/slimjims

#

at least to unlock, not to start

coarse pollen Mar 4, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

but during this era many of car on the road could still be slim jimmed

#

yeh hotwiring in my idea would require a slidehammer and a wire

#

the slidehammer would be used to disable the stearing lock and from there its either a screwdriver or a wire to fire it up

1-how did they convert the models into .x (tools)

iron salmon Mar 4, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

Not sure I get it entirely, but I know we have something planned and already had preliminary work done on in regards to getting an FBX example file for modders to use and to properly import models usable in Blender without them ending up borked etc

drifting ore Mar 4, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

2-was the model rigged or had animation and etc ?

iron salmon Mar 4, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

Martin does the models in 3DS as far as I am aware. X files are probably a legacy item with the intention of moving to FBX entirely in the future

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

iron salmon Not sure I get it entirely, but I know we have something planned and already had...

I assumed as much, I jumped the gun a while back to help out the people making clothes, since they didn't have a skinned model to work from. Only issue I have is that i can't replace the body models at all

iron salmon Mar 4, 2021, 10:28 PM

#

Aye, maybe that's where it came from. Skinned model to use as an example is something in the pipeline, though we are juggling priorities atm, and MP comes up on top in the priority stand-off unfortunately.

If there's stuff we can do to make your lives easier, don't hesitate to tell me though. That makes sure I can throw it up on one of the lists we keep and allows us to tick some things off whenever work frees up or someone on the team needs something different to clear their head

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

cool, thanks for that. So yeah, an official character fbx would be grand! Mine works for clothing, but not bodies; probably some missing metadata.

iron salmon Mar 4, 2021, 10:40 PM

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 11:07 PM

are you also defining a length to travel on?

sour island Mar 4, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

maybe?

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 11:09 PM

#

the vector should(?) be infinite, so even if you go beyond point A or B, the delta should remain the same

sour island Mar 4, 2021, 11:10 PM

the issue seems to be it's overshooting it unless there's a huge threshold given

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 11:29 PM

#

The catch is to leave the original there, you can delete the skirt parts that are not linked with the rest of the body

#

I have one model working where I deleted the body, but don't ask me why that one is working though, none of the others do

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 11:31 PM

leaving the original sounds fishy

#

i assume you're talking about clothes and such

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 11:32 PM

I had to start with something simple (and silly of course) just to check the whole thing would work, so I made oversized clown shoes. Now that I understand what needs to be done I can move on and plan other items

What did you do to hide the body?

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 11:33 PM

#

shovel

#

i only did that goofy blockman test so far just to ensure that things worked as well. in that one, the blockman geo and the skeleton were the only things present

#

ie, delete or don't include the body in the export

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

That's what I can't replicate. I forgot what I did in the first hair model

#

Now I can't find what it was and I'm hiding the body because deleting it breaks something

grizzled grove Mar 4, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

the biggest hitch i ran into was discovering that skin weights are super sensitive in PZ. I had two nearly identical exports with the weights being the only difference, but i couldn't find any valid reason why one worked and the other didn't.

nimble spoke Mar 4, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

Good thing is that using Belnder's Shrink/Flatten is enough. There's a super thin version of the body hidden inside the body for now, that I can delete later when I figure what exactly needs to be done

For making clothes. How to use: after you finished your cloth model, JOIN your model with this object, paint the weight from vertex groups, then export WITH everything included in this fbx (Uncheck "selected objects"). Object Types: Armature+Mesh. -Z Forward Y Up. Remember, 1UV, 1Material Only, Don't delete anything on this mummy body mesh.
To define a cloth, you MIGHT need use an online GUID generator make a GUID, in clothing folder, define xml in "clothingitems" folder, FileGuidTable.xml, Scripts->clothing->make txt for your cloth.
This model can perfectly hide inside character's body and works without an issue. God knows why we have to do things like this but at least it works 😄

Is that the thermal scope?

#

We got to play with those when I deployed to Afghanistan. Real fun toys to mess with.

#

Now that I think about it, I wonder how much trouble it would be to set up a thermal filter for PZ to complement eris's NV filter.

#

Semi related, bit years and years ago, one of the weapon mods I used for New Vegas had a thermal scope as a weapon attachment.

#

Also, ArmA 3's Nightstalker scope.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

is there noone here?

#

ive had this issue for several days now and noone knows lua?

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:11 AM

#

I don't like that method for inserting new entries into the distributions tables; I've always distrusted it, but I do force myself to use it for some categories of items and it works just fine for me w/o issue? There's just things about it that I don't understand, and I just don't like it.
This is the simpler method for adding items to distribution tables, that I generally use. It is more of a pain in the ass to set up, but I prefer it for being more controlled and succinct.

    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["gunstore"]["shelves"].items, 1);
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["gunstorestorage"]["all"].items, "Base.22BulletsMold");
    table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["gunstorestorage"]["all"].items, 1);    ```

#

A find the #1 issue people have with elements of their mods not working is just not understanding/using basic troubleshooting stuff. It may be that you lua is fine, but that you didn't set up the Base.WD item scripts properly, and consequently, there is no Base.WD item to spawn. Generally, until one gets a handle on the thing, it's best to trie these things "incrementally", ie.
first make sure that the Base.WD item works and can be spawned in.
then, once you have confirmed there are no issues with the Base.WD them, then you move on to spawning it.

Also, being able to evalute the console.txt file for error messages is crucial. Your lua looks fine, so my suspicions are that either the Base.WD item isn;t set up properly, or there is some other issue with the actual lua file, aside from that code. It could be bad/sloppy formatting elsewhere in the file. It could be a bad filename. The console.txt file could hold the answers if that is the issue.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:18 AM

#

Im trying to spawn items from a mod into zombie loot tables

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:18 AM

#

Also, how do you know that the Base.WD items aren't spawning on zombies? How many have you killed to see if it's spawning or not?

For testing stuff like this, it's best to set the spawn chances incredibly high. It might just be RNG making you think that they aren't spawning.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:18 AM

#

So i know for a fact that said item does exist

#

@willow estuary killed 1000 zombies at 100 drop rate and no dice

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

Have you testing spawning the item into the game?
Assumed confidence re stuff like know for a fact that said item does exist instead of checking to make sure is 100% gonna be a problem with figuring out why things aren't spawning etc.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:19 AM

#

yes

#

ive managed to spawn the item into the game

#

but its an item from a mod not the base game

#

so is base.WD wrong?

#

im not sure what the module name is

#

the mod author just titles his module as Base as well

#

so i dont think thats the issue

#

ive tried using the method you mentioned and again, it didnt work

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:21 AM

#

You are using debug mode?

#

Use debug mode, use the item spawner to spawn in the WD item and then use the edit item option to see exactly what the Module + name for the item is. Or if you know your stuff you can just look at the script files to be able to evaluate what the module name is.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:25 AM

#

yea i tried that

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:25 AM

#

willow estuary 2) Use debug mode, use the item spawner to spawn in the WD item and then use the...

the scripts literally only use 1 module

#

module Base

#

he didnt create a new module

#

so its just Base.WD

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:28 AM

#

That's probably the case, but just being throrough in checking and making sure regarding details like that is absolutely crucial for troubleshooting.

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:28 AM

#

the mod is brtia's weapon pack btw

i just wanted to make the WD-40s spawn on zombies

but i didnt expect it to be so complicated

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:31 AM

#

willow estuary That's probably the case, but just being throrough in checking and making sure r...

yea the error said line 2

#

so its probably the item itself

#

or the pathing thats wrong

#

double checked its simply called Base.WD

#

should i post the mod's lua ?

willow estuary Mar 6, 2021, 10:38 AM

#

I dunno man, I generally try to avoid getting too involved with the specific issues anyone has with their modding attempts, as it can just get too frustrating more often than not? But yeah post the lua, just no guarantees, as I generally do not like to get involved

sour island Mar 6, 2021, 10:40 AM

Since I was pinged- did you copy this insertion method from an existing mod?

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:40 AM

#

no i just copied what was provided from the forum initially

#

require "Items/SuburbsDistributions"

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "Base.WD");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 3);

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "Base.WD");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 3);

#

this thing

#

but it doesnt work for some reason then i changed it to the other one

sour island Mar 6, 2021, 10:41 AM

#

you do realize it doesn't do the same thing as what you have right?

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:41 AM

#

arent i writing to the distribution table?

sour island Mar 6, 2021, 10:41 AM

#

what Blair and what you just posted adds 1 thing to the list at a time

#

your code above is adding a whole list into the exsisting list

#

you're list linking

drifting ore Mar 6, 2021, 10:42 AM

#

so if i want to add into an existing list

#

i have to use what i posted, correct?

#

without overwriting the list

sour island Mar 6, 2021, 10:42 AM

#

you could use table.concat to add two things at once

#

if I'm reading it right a normal distribution list appears to be a series of paths and numbers

#

list = {path, chance, path chance, path chance}

#

when you insert your list it's doing this
list = {path, chance, path, chance, list = {path, chance } }

#

but I just woke up

AuthenticPeach has been using what i can only imagine is a very painful tool/process for their animations. So once we get the problems worked out, we can set up animation rigs to make life easier.

unsure if i want to learn blender rigging though.

It's only painful if I don't like the end product. I was able to get good results, but complicated animations are out of the question with my method.

If you just got the game, play it without any mod, live and die for a couple of times, after you understand the game you can start use mods or you'll lose a lot of fun and understand the game wrongly

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 7:45 AM

The core part of gameplay is management, you need keep risk yourself to get weapons, foods etc to live. And you need manage what you should carry and what you shouldn't. But there are a lot of mod modify the game data without telling you. Get an axe with 100 durability and 1 shot any zombie by using a plank to build might be useful but absolutely kill the fun part.

zealous wing Mar 7, 2021, 12:14 PM

Like I said, a looot of detail for PZ.

#

Those textures could be 1/4th that res and you wouldn't notice ingame.

#

Model could be simpler too I think.

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 12:16 PM

#

willow estuary Mar 7, 2021, 12:16 PM

#

I'm gonna second that; there can be performance hits and other issues with too many large textures + high poly models in PZ.

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 12:17 PM

#

the model iteself only uses 560 faces, still pretty low polygon count

#

and the texture size is 512

willow estuary Mar 7, 2021, 12:17 PM

#

Well, good job on making it look super detailed then 😄

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 12:18 PM

#

it looks high poly only because the texture was projected from some detailed picture

#

zealous wing Mar 7, 2021, 12:19 PM

#

I'd still keep paring the tris down. Every little bit helps.
The trigger, rear sight and barrel could all use fewer IMO.

#

Otherwise, not bad I guess.

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 12:26 PM

#

#

that's easy, it's 450 faces now

zealous wing Mar 7, 2021, 12:28 PM

#

I'd say keep at it then.
If you want, use the base PZ weapon models as a reference? A lot of them are basically made of primitives.

its a good detail,but then again,the game may lag too much cuz of high poly stuff

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

No, it doesn't , if your PC can be laggy because a few hundreds of polygon or can't handle a 512*512 texture, the only thing you need to worry is it might gonna explode.

zealous wing Mar 7, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

PZ is kinda badly optimized to be honest. A game literally made of 2d sprites can bring even top tier systems to their knees. Every little bit helps.

#

E.g., in my stuff, I use color indexing when making textures and sprites. It helps a little tiny bit.

drifting ore Mar 7, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

yeah imagine

#

even fallout 1 and 2 cant do that xD

half chasm Mar 7, 2021, 1:41 PM

#

Optimizing in surely a very important thing but 96kb data(my M16, model+ texture) isn't really matter that much to modern PC. PZ has a very basic 3d shader that even your SNES could handle it. You can let every zombie on your screen carries my gun in 6months later mode and you won't feel any lag because it's just single 96kb totals of data used repeatedly. I totally understand your passion about optimizing but this is simply not because my work.
