So am I tripping balls, or do the recipes for taking pills just... not exist in the game code? At least not in the scripts folder or recipes.txt?
lethal sparrow
Maybe it isn't a recipe.
zealous wing
I'm trying to figure out how the game does it then.
lethal sparrow
It seems something they all have in common is Type = Drainable,
But I think the action of "taking" is actually a Use function
So maybe they're just something you can "Use"
zealous wing
Well yeah, I know that already. I was expecting to find the relevant recipes in recipes.txt or elsewhere, but they aren't present. There's a couple of files in the lua folder regarding pills, but none of the code present seems to point to the pills themselves in an obvious way.
willow estuary
I, I think they're a special exception. They have code for them in the honking big inventory UI file and special java code as I recall?
zealous wing
Well fuck, that would explain it.
I can write a simple lua script for what I was intending, but I was looking for a reference to work from. ๐

You have to right click in steam at Project zomboid -> property -> Beta. There you can select 41 Beta.
(Make sure you dont do that in the middle of a savegame)
harsh sapphire

low yarrow
There are 2 versions of 41. I believe they are the same
fallow bridge
There are 2 versions of 41. I believe they are the same
correct
lethal sparrow
I've heard the contested factoid that Project Zomboid can read and use .fbx models now, is that correct? Reassuring, if true, because I cannot for the life of me get the .x exporter plugin working for Blender
grizzled grove
that's correct
lethal sparrow
Rad, thank you.
craggy furnace
id say that .fbx being the king of zomboid models is still a bit off
its can be difficult to size clothing with fbx since what is displayed on the character and what is displayed on the group can be night and day in terms of rendered size
a much better format then .x though
lethal sparrow
A format that I can import and export is better than a format that I cannot.

The words of one who has watched parts 1 through 6 of the first stage of blender tutorials.
craggy furnace
pz works best in low-med poly
anything else pops very hard and looks incredibly awkward
quasi ginkgo
Well I didn't watch the official blender tutorials (if they exist) but I'm pretty sure it's easy to turn low poly items to high or med poly
I did watch the donut tutorials
All of this started from a cube
lethal sparrow
That's a good point too, though. You'd never want to be much higher or lower poly than your source material. 2016 doomguy playable in mario 64 would look out of place.
craggy furnace
pz has a very cartoony/sims like aesthetic
quasi ginkgo
True, though I usually start with a low poly model, much easier to model
drifting ore
you guys think it's possible to automatically unwrap this and bake it into a 3d model?
lethal sparrow
My uneducated guess would be no. It's a sprite, right? There isn't a back face for a 3d model to use
quasi ginkgo
It's not possible, C1
craggy furnace
had a convo with nasko last night
quasi ginkgo
Though there's a way to insert images to blender
craggy furnace
there is a chance all furniture will go 3d eventually
quasi ginkgo
How do you do that, again?
drifting ore
this is a transformed sprite, technically there's 5 sides visible
lethal sparrow
You have plenty of reference to do this manually, but a way to do it "automatically" would take so much effort that it would ultimately defeat the purpose.
quasi ginkgo
Making basic models isn't that hard as long as you learn the important controls in blender
drifting ore

Huh, I did find my beer

Knew you would. The next step of diagnostics is to examine your modlist to isolate the rogue.

lethal sparrow
That's too tedious even for me. I'd enable them in batches.
Starting with the mods you trust the most, moving on to the ones you're less sure are safe.
You could also enable everything I had enabled when I tested your mod, because I was able to find your beer. Is there a way to link your subscribed items all at once?
There you go, Hybe. Those items are confirmed to work with your mod.

Anyone got an example of successfully adding a new roomdef?
Tried before as it seemingly should work but no dice
lethal sparrow
Your tilezed looks a bit like that, right?
I don't know what stage of the process you're in
spiral plover
No no, I know all about adding it to the editor, I mean adding and defining item spawns and such for a custom one
I know where I'd plop the name in Tilezed, but actually defining the name and the container overrides is where I fall short
lethal sparrow
Last I heard, such a thing wasn't possible. Don't you have to use one of the pre-set internal room definitions?
spiral plover
supposedly I just need to insert it into the suburbs distribution table but that doesn't work even though it should
Last I heard was the same thing... no clue why though
lethal sparrow
I am not at all knowledgeable here, so take this with a grain of salt, but I seem to remember that you may only use the internal names for room definitions.
spiral plover
--for mod compat:
SuburbsDistributions = distributionTable;
Yeah I recall hearing that too, idk what the reasoning was
that is at the bottom of the definitions file and in theory I should be able to get it to work but... supposedly it doesn't so :/
Gunna give it another try
lethal sparrow
Is that your mod's distributions file? If it is, I have concerning news for you.
If you followed Blackbeard's Nuka-Cola tutorial to arrive at that code, your mod is dangerously overriding vanilla distribution mechanics, and you need to change your table.insert function to be non-destructive
spiral plover
No that's at the bottom of the official one
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions, 1, nelsonDistributionTable);
that's whats at the bottom of mine
but, thats old and doesn't work
lethal sparrow
Yes, but if nelsonDistributionTable looks anything like this:
local nelsonDistributionTable= {
--(All of your loot entries here)
}
table.insert(Distributions, 1, nelsonDistributionTable);
--for mod compat:
SuburbsDistributions = nelsonDistributionTable;```
Then you are at serious risk of committing my earlier mistakerequire 'Items/SuburbsDistributions'
local nelsonDistributionTable = {
nbrewerystorage = {
shelves = {
rolls = 3,
items = {
"Base.WhiskeyFull", 3,
"Base.WhiskeyFull", 3,
"Base.WhiskeyFull", 3,
"Base.Wine2", 3,
"Base.Wine2", 3,
"Base.Wine", 3,
"Base.Wine", 3,
"Base.Cigarettes", 3,
"Base.Cigarettes", 3,
"Base.WaterBottleFull", 4,
"Base.Pop", 4,
"Base.Pop2", 4,
"Base.Pop3", 4,
"Base.PopBottle", 4,
"Base.Peanuts", 4,
}
},```thats the beginning, there's more
but I avoided redeclaring Distributions for that reason
I don't recall why I required Items/SubrubsDistributions, seems like it would make sense but idk
lethal sparrow
None of the definitions contained within nelsonDistributionTable are present in the vanilla distributions file? If so I am mistaken, and you are not causing any risk.
spiral plover
Nope, all unique
willow estuary
Anyone got an example of successfully adding a new roomdef?
Look in the lua for "Lab Complex Alpha" on the workshop for an example of how to implement that.
spiral plover
Oh! Wonderful, will do
lethal sparrow
Also make sure to add Alfrety's Additional Sodas anywhere there's POP :kappa:
spiral plover
Ahaha, sure thing!
willow estuary
Oh! Wonderful, will do
Don't judge me for how "generous" they may seem, there are mitigating factors ๐
spiral plover
Of course haha
I'm just trying to fill crates with beer lol
@willow estuary is the core difference that my code is lacking all the require references code, or is the SuburbsDistributions["Entrance1"] also a vital part?
willow estuary
Of course haha
Ah, I'm really not smart or knowledgable about this stuff so much as I just keep trying combinations of lego pieces until something works?
I don't remember the specifics of how I made it work, just that it does work,
spiral plover
I'd imagine doing SuburbsDistributions[""] adds it to the table of SuburbsDistributions directly instead of inserting it, as Python is similiar
Well, awesome to see you got something working!
willow estuary
Yeah, as long as you clone it, and change the specifics to suit your purpose it should work?
lethal sparrow
Well, my custom 3d model is working, sort of.
Wait, no, that's clearly silly.
If you look closely, you can see she's holding it upside-down. Does anyone know how to fix that?
low yarrow
Yea, i personally set the fbx export setting at a scale of 0.01 ๐
lethal sparrow

lethal sparrow
Duffel bag because I'm stealing that sh**^**t

Btw:
While you could just scale it down directly in blender instead of in the export settings: i would not do that since blender does funny stuff at very tiny scales.
lethal sparrow
No point in being destructive with tried-and-true export settings anyway.

i wish there was a mod that would replace zombies with either humanoid arachnids,huge spider aracnids or parasites

Alfrety's Additional Sodas
In the process of implementing 3D models, and deciding on the sixth flavour. Probably Fanta Grape.
lethal sparrow
Pepsi, Coke, Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, and A&W Root beer
All caffienated with the exception of root beer.
austere scarab
you could do perhaps some energy drink
however i think there's already in all american mod
or hypocraft
lethal sparrow
That, and there are a couple of other issues. My mod is (tries to be) historically accurate, and most energy drinks, such as Monster, Rockstar, etc, came out between 2002-2006
austere scarab
aren't you the one that added the ice box or was that the beer mod?
the ice box was made in 2002 i think so yeah
but still i love your work
i'll be sure to use your mod
anything special about the drinks?
lethal sparrow
No ice boxes from me, but thanks a ton, means a lot to hear someone appreciate my passion project
Only Mountain Dew and A&W are special to me. Pepsi was added because it was and is the #1 soft drink in the state of Kentucky, and the rest were added due to requests on the steam page's comments
austere scarab
no no i mean special stats
lethal sparrow
Oh, yeah. All of the caffienated sodas (all of them are, except the root beer) restore fatigue when drank, like coffee or tea in the vanilla game. All of them have their accurate-to-life nutritional facts, so if you don't want too many calories, Diet Coke is for you
Other than that, they restore thirst, a little hunger, and make you happy, like vanilla POP
austere scarab
hm
it would be kinda cool if drinks and water would be better if they are "cold" wich it's like "fresh"
they are normal when stale but boost their stats when "cold"
lethal sparrow
I've had the same thought. There's precedent in the game files for "bad cold" and "good hot" but not "good cold"
austere scarab
however drinking to much cold might risk into sickness
lethal sparrow
It would require a bit more brainwork from me, but it's probably doable.
austere scarab
it's this the special zeds mod that adds the skeleton zeds?
lethal sparrow
I think so
late hound
The skeleton models are vanilla
austere scarab
yea when killed zombies descompose
but this mods adds zombie "skeletons" with special abilities and i know that 1 explodes if im correct
lethal sparrow
I recommended it because within its code, there must be the method of turning zombies into something else, which is what you'd need to study

}
}```wait a mod that would allow you to upgrade and improve your car to be more powerfull would be awsome
such as making a front shield with metal spikes to kill zombies easier and defend your front trunk
spiral plover
The error I keep getting is like Callframe at: table.insert function: AftonLootableMapDistribution.lua -- file: AftonLootableMapDistribution.lua line # 6
like, it can't find the item?
they should go in the "scripts" folder, right?
lethal sparrow
The reference to the map in the distribution file uses the mod id, right?
Oh, wait
I think you're just missing a comma.
No, nevermind, wrong lua
lethal sparrow
If you're getting an error, and it's not working even though it should, there's possibly some elementary error you aren't looking for. Happens to me all the time.

The corpse inventories have been stable throughout the entire b41 fiddling process, so, if nothing else, they're probably safe as an evergreen place to spawn something like a map.
sharp kernel
Ah, gotcha. And the table .insert for those is still the same?
lethal sparrow
I know theft isn't good advice, but there's a mod on the workshop that does already exactly what you're trying to do, so you could study the code of that mod to see how he does it.
sharp kernel
Studying other people's code is hardly theft. Either way, I've been looking at it, but didn't help much, the table.insert syntaxes look the same, uses same SuburbsDistributions like my mod, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly is going on there.

I'm looking at vanilla Distributions.lua and there IS bookstore class
lethal sparrow
But it looks like you need to be using "other" instead of "all"
sharp kernel
isn't "all" supposed to put the item into all containers?
as in, bookstore/all puts them in all containers in a bookstore
lethal sparrow
Maybe it was, at one point, but I would try it now using what we know exists.
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["bookstore"]["other"].items, "EZ.KnoxCountyMap");
While you're at it, you might want to examine the other instances of "all" and see if those are still present in the vanilla file, too.
sharp kernel
Yeah I'm looking at it right now, one sec.
lethal sparrow
But both of them seem to still reference "all" by my check.
sharp kernel
Aha
I see where the problem is
Hang on a sec
I'm going through the vanilla Distributions
this is the entry for poststorage, it has an "all"
Bookstore does not
it is indeed "other" for bookstore like you said
lethal sparrow
Glad SouLFilcher came to straighten us out. We'd still be chasing ghosts right now if I was in charge.
sharp kernel
So I just need to change the bookstore/all to bookstore/other and probably also add the other types of containers
Oh I see. Bookstore is only set between CashRegister and Other, there are no other containers
Lemme go test this
lethal sparrow
So thusly it seems the whodunit comes to a conclusion. Your distributions was written before the addition of cash registers (and subsequent changing of the distributions to accomodate), breaking your entry for bookstore but not the other two
lethal sparrow
Can't help but feel that I misdirected you every step of the way, but we're a community here 
sharp kernel
While I'm still here, does that town between Rosewood and Riverside have a name?
as in, official name
lethal sparrow
I think he means Ekron.
lethal sparrow
Not officially recognized in the vanilla game, but everybody calls it Ekron, so it's Ekron.
sharp kernel
I need to update my map then
That's the only place that I didn't place a name marker on that felt like it should have one
lethal sparrow
I rather like Ekron. Both times Pillow's Random Spawn started me there, I had a field day.
nimble spoke
oh yeah, there's probably a whole lot of 'all' tables gone
sharp kernel
thankfully, the bookstore one was the only one was was troubling me
lethal sparrow
Anywhere with a cash register, if I had to guess for starters.
sharp kernel
Oh also, have there been any changes to the vanilla map in the recent builds? I'm assuming my map will eventually be outdates and inaccurate, already I'm hearing there's going to be changes to the vanilla map eventually
nimble spoke
and washing machines possibly, even though they don't seem to spawn anything
sharp kernel
and washing machines possibly, even though they don't seem to spawn anything
Long Dark taught me to check them always anyway
sharp kernel
that would take a looong time
lethal sparrow
Is there anything huge on here missing from your map?
nimble spoke
muldraugh received recent changes
sharp kernel
Did it?
willow estuary
My understanding is that there's recent additions not on the zoomable map.
And that the the vanilla map has forthcoming changes.
Again, unless you enjoy the process, or are fine with dealing with this stuff being inchoate and subject to change, I strongly recommend waiting until b41 is stable for matters of this nature, including distributions. Otherwise you might end up dealing with a fair amount of frustration.
lethal sparrow
What a simultaneously exciting and inconvenient time we live in.
willow estuary
nimble spoke
I fix... I break... I fix AGAIN
sharp kernel
My understanding is that there's recent additions not on the zoomable map.
And t...
Nah, that's all fine. Distributions I can fix easy enough, but I'm not going to worry too much about making sure the map is accurate. Once it stops being, well then that's it.
I've sunk enough hours into making it to not want to do it again.
A map of entire Knox County showing every road and dirt road.
willow estuary
Yeah, not trying to discourage or bumout anyone; just making sure they know what they might be in for? ๐
I think the distro changes may have burned out a fair amount of folks.

Yeah, that's fair.
Right now I'm having a different issue, and that is that I forgot what font I used for the town labels and of course I didn't note it down back then.

replaced the body with the same body of course, but gotta do the baby steps ๐
pz is super duper picky about skin weights and i don't quite understand why. It's trying to pair the skin to the bones, as you'd expect, but simple copying errors left me with tiny weights from the fingers in the leg region, and the console would spam that it couldn't do the pair matching to the animation. So they've some some weird trickery going on maybe

clothing modders have had to make static models that attach to the skeleton because they didn't have a working skinned model to work from, not ideal. Plus animation modding is only barely feasible at the moment. So having a fully functional character in a format we can use is important for both those tasks. (and I suppose if wanted to make a "play as some random animal" or something, they could do that too)

grizzled grove
totally get it, it's a lot of grey area
lethal sparrow
I'm not a lawyer, so that still sounds like stealing, but at least it's with extra steps.
In my defense, though, I'm trying to reach him to talk to him about it.
long grove
i mean, you aren't just gonna copy paste the mod are you
lethal sparrow
If he so much as frowns upon my methods, I'll cease them instantly and try to implement the feature without referencign his work.
No. He has a lot of things in there I absolutely don't plan on using. I am only looking at how he implemented purchasing sodas from soda vending machines
right now, I did copy and paste that segment, just to tinker with it as a learning method, but I've done so in a separate fork of AAS and not the main files. THe actual implementation of the feature will be one I made by learning from how he did what he did.

In terms of the balancing the idea is:
While the blunt does as much base damage as the katana it has 18 instead of 10 max durability.
But the blunt is twice as heavy, a bit slower and less range.
Also crit multiplier is 2 instead of 10 from the katana.

If I did, it'd be a separate mod. Alfrety's Additional Sodas aims to be historically accurate to 1993 Kentucky, but a separate perka-cola mod is worth a jog-around. The only one that wouldn't work fluently with Zomboid's system is Quick-Revive, for obvious reasons.

Thanks. Tried it. But it somehow looks the same :/
How exactly did you export it?
From your video it looks like its all correct
grizzled grove
Thanks. Tried it. But it somehow looks the same :/
just file>export as fbx in blender, i didn't touch any settings
low yarrow
Did you select everything to export?
nimble spoke
these are the settings I use
low yarrow
Same. Not sure what i do wrong.
nimble spoke
I'm using blender 2.91, maybe it is a version issue?
grizzled grove
good call. i updated to 2.92 recently
low yarrow
Oh, i gonna try that. I am still on 2.90
Same problem with 2.92
Well, enough testing for today. Thank you anyway guys!
grizzled grove
that's exactly the point actually. Previously some things were wonky, so the character was bent at the hip, swimming in the ground, etc

Hey anyone having issues exporting character .fbx models from blender, try deleting unused bones and vertices, it seemed to work for me. Making hair i deleted all the bones but spine1 and head and that finally worked.
vertex groups* not verticies

Does anyone know the proper syntax for the file variable in sound scripts?
I read it's file = media/sound/filename.ogg but that doesn't seem to work, and niether does a variety of different formats
nimble spoke
try .wav instead
sour island
do I still include the extension?
nimble spoke
yeah
sour island
why would ogg not work then?
nimble spoke
I think it is related to the difference between file = and event =
sour island
doesn't work in any case
I read to replace event with file
and use the entire filepath including extension
nimble spoke
yes, I got it working that way
sour island
was this with your own sound?
nimble spoke
yeah
nimble spoke
sound VehicleAlarmOn
{
category = Vehicle,
loop = false,
clip
{
file = media/sound/vehicle_alarm_on.wav,
distanceMin = 10,
distanceMax = 150,
reverbMaxRange = 10,
reverbFactor = 0,
volume = 3.0,
}
}
sour island
that's a default sound event right?
nimble spoke
I guess so
sour island
you're just supplying a different file?
nimble spoke
wait what do you mean by default sound event? like a vanilla entry? No, that's a new one
sour island
ah
that maybe the issue- even though removing the event line removes the vanilla sound
using file doesn't seem to be able to replace it

debug has a player editor somewhere, right?

would there be a way to mod glowing eyes onto zombies? i was thinking of doing a cod zombies retexture

guys what should I do if the katana from the mod is not visible in my hands? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=828128443&searchtext=katana

which game version do you use?
Seems like that katana is for an older version
Game version 41 has already a katana included without mods
solid vault
which game version do you use?
41.50
solid vault
Game version 41 has already a katana included without mods
I play on version 41.50 and have never met a katana
Even through the item delivery menu, I didn't see it there
low yarrow
The katana will only spawn in gunstore, and survival caches with a chance of 0,5%.
Also the katana will appear in zombie stomaches if the world is 60 days old
Try to install the mod "cheat menu" and look in the menu there. I found it there.
But delete the katana mod to make sure and start a new game
In terms of the 60 days rule:
You can either play a world from day 1 to day 60.
Or you skip 2 month by making the world start at month 2 in the sandbox settings.

All of my vertex groups do have some vertices assigned since i just try to use the default model as hazmat suite
(Default model)
Or do i have to use the hazmat suite if i want to replace the hazmat suite? ๐ค

What is the problem you're having?
does the model not appear ingame/ give an error trying to load it?
low yarrow
It basically comes out like that:
It kind of appears and it doesnt show any red errors. But something looks off ๐

Okay i got further. But here the blend file in case you want to look into it anyway since i still have some deformation problems.
But the thing which just helped is:
- Go posemode
- Apply pose as rest pose
final plinth
oh i think i might have a guess of what it could be let me try something
low yarrow
My guess is that there are still some weird rotated bones.
Have to go in a moment but will dig deeper later into that theory
final plinth
my guess is that its something with the origin of the model
low yarrow
Oh true. Could be a problem as well
Yea eventually the clothing origin has to be directly onto a specific bone
like the root bone or something
final plinth
im pretty sure both the skeleton and the model need to have the origin point imbetween the feet
that was giving me issues last night
inbetween*
low yarrow
Just gave it a quick try, still the same deformations with the origin between the legs
final plinth
ive noticed something is weird with the headnub bone aswell
low yarrow
mmh

who knows a good helicopter mod?

I would be happy if they made a mod for motorcycles that can be ridden)

@low yarrow What did you do for the weight painting on this? some parts are painted that i dont think should be (check L_Calf for example)

Wonโt be done until b42
Because people would bitch about how โyou canโt see the player riding ;(โ and other shit
B42 will allow for player characters to be visible in cars

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right channel for my question, but i am having a problem with the Raven Creek mod from the workshop.
Beforehand: Every other mod is working flawless it is just that map mods do not show me spawn points.
As mentioned, i have a problem with the spawn locations, they are not in the spawn point list when i start a new game (wanted to start in raven creek)
So far i've tried several options, Re-installing the game completly (also wiping every remaining bit of the game through windows), Copying the workshop mods into the document user mod folder of "zomboid"
Any ideas what this might cause? I am playing on 41 IWBMS
