[echo leaf]

And it's not visible on my body

Did... the swat mod get taken down?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2091564445

Oh it looks like it got updated/changed to this?

Nice.

Yup, updated to the new one and all good again 🙂

[sour island]

Does anyone know if instaceof() picks up on extended classes? Like will IsoPlayer also register as an IsoGameCharacter?

It does, noice

[carmine cosmos]

Are autosaves with backups be something you guys would be interested in? It would be a mod that automatically creates a new save file every time you sleep allowing you to load a save from for example last day when you happen to die

[undone heron]

would be nice

tbh an ironman mode vs a one back up save mode would be nice to have

[carmine cosmos]

Yea I like the idea of one backup save personally as well

[undone heron]

another thing I would like to see: continuing a save be less painful.

like maybe have all professions give double the stats after a month of play time if you decide to continue a save

or a new character made after a month on a save would get a x2 exp boost for levels 1-4 of a skill

[errant meteor]

Do you still need to do that thing of copying and pasting files for some reason?

[carmine cosmos]

Those are interesting ideas

It would definitely be easier for players to continue after dying

[undone heron]

yeah like new characters are just so painful I see most just start a new save. You loose all your stats, you get no tv boosts, if it's like a month after the start then you need to deal with 1.5x zombie population, all the 'fresh' food will be rotten / gone so you have less resources to scavenge up.

[carmine cosmos]

Characters generated later on in the game need to start with some gear and clothes

Probably at some random location on the map (not really random but not just a house)

With some more skills like you mentioned to show that they are survivors

[undone heron]

yeah, any reason to actually continue a save beyond the first death would be welcomed

[random terrace]

how would one go about adding items into the loot table of bags, gun cases etc

can't seem to find much of anything about them in the game's files

[undone heron]

table insertion!

[random terrace]

I would've hoped it's that simple, but I can't seem to figure out what the tables are for these

[undone heron]

you get your items and the values and you put them on the tables

the tables are on the lua/server/items and it's called suberbDistrubtions

you can also look at mods like brita's, scrap armor/weapons, ect to see how they do the insertion

[random terrace]

I've already added items to the tables, but I mean specifically the ones that govern whatever spawns in bags and such

Like you know how gun cases can have a gun and a magazine in it

[undone heron]

it's a table in the table

    FirstAidKit = {
        rolls = 1,
        items = {
            "Bandaid", 200,
            "Bandaid", 200,
            "Bandaid", 200,
            "Bandaid", 70,
            "Bandage", 200,
            "Bandage", 20,
            "Bandage", 10,
            "CottonBalls", 200,
            "CottonBalls", 70,
            "CottonBalls", 30,
            "Disinfectant", 100,
            "AlcoholWipes", 200,
            "AlcoholWipes", 70,
            "AlcoholWipes", 30,
            "Tweezers", 100,
            "SutureNeedle", 100,
            "SutureNeedle", 50,
            "SutureNeedleHolder", 50,
            "Scalpel", 5,
            "Gloves_Surgical", 5,
            "Scissors", 5,
        },
        fillRand = 0,
    },

    Tote = {
        rolls = 10,
        items = {
            "Plasticbag", 55,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
            "Plasticbag", 50,
        },
        fillRand = 3,
    },

    PistolCase1 = {
        rolls = 1,
        items = {
            "Pistol", 100,
            "9mmClip", 100,
        },
        fillRand = 0,
    },

so you just need to insert your item into these tables

[random terrace]

oooh nice, thank you

out of curiousity which file are these initialized in?

for some reason I couldn't find it

[echo leaf]

Not that I know of, I just subbed to the new mod and was good to go.

[undone heron]

media\lua\server\Items Distributions

[latent orchid]

fair warning, that loot table format will be changing over the coming updates

look into procedural_distributions.lua within the same items folder to see how it works in conjunction with the distribution.lua file

[sour island]

Can you provide an explanation as to what it does differently?

[spiral plover]

@undone heron have you looked inside of ISWearClothing.LUA?

looks like they use function ISWearClothing:isValid() return self.character:getInventory():contains(self.item); end

to check if the player has clothing on or not

[undone heron]

that checks the inventory to see if it has an item, which is the whole inventory. not if it's on a slot or not

[spiral plover]

Right but you could then probably check if it is equipped or not from there

there is also local location = self.item:getBodyLocation()

and, self:setAnimVariable("WearClothingLocation", WearClothingAnimations[location] or "")

[latent orchid]

in summary, a room's containers decide which of the procedural_distribution entries they will use and then roll against those items, so you could have one counter with plates and then the next full of canned foods in a kitchen rather than just a massive mashup list like is presently used for most room defs

look at how gigmart entries are structured as example

also check out the bedroom example for variation based on furniture present in room

[sour island]

ah, so gigamart already used this to some extent before?

sounds much better honestly

[digital tinsel]

anyway to disable or reduce car spawns from swat pack?

[severe ridge]

I'll see if Relih can reduce it a tad

[digital tinsel]

no problem, i think it was a bug from 90's balance(it was for redux so when it was used with the new update it just spawned swat trucks everywhere lol)

[late hound]

New Snow Ghillie and CEDA Hazmat zombies

[humble kernel]

peach youre the best modder i know

[kindred pumice]

#i-love-peach

[craggy furnace]

yeah so i really need this mod

is this for your server project?

[willow estuary]

The mod's already on the workshop, although it doesn't feature the west point gun store key working for the door, that's just test bed stuff.

Given how everything is made out of paper mache + how easy it is to farm keys, specific door keys as loot is kind of silly given the contortions needed to make them work and spawn.

[craggy furnace]

oh nice, ive been too busy tinkering with my own stuff to peek out

ill grab it

[topaz pendant]

what is this key mod called >.>

[willow estuary]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2463568911

[topaz pendant]

hold up before i sub to this mod would it change anything like the main menu or the song when starting a new game?

[plucky nova]

it says on the mod page that it might do those, so just get it and see i guess

honestly i have been thinking of getting it for a bit but i dont think that its compatible with a lot of different things that i have

and besides, i dont think that i am THAT much of a masochist

[echo leaf]

@nimble spoke Hey man, wheat seems to be throwing an error once it reaches the rotting stage

Or am I doing something wrong?

[grave solstice]

Finally, my Piano mod is ready! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2465017864

Actually, you can watch the demo here: https://youtu.be/PZjSgizQyfc

[late hound]

Looking great!

[grave solstice]

Thanks for teaching me about PZ custom animations!

[echo leaf]

midi keyboard integration when?

😛

[latent orchid]

you sir are amazing. i would actually like to incorporate this into my custom map world eventually. hopefully it is configurable for further expansion

@late hound regarding the pinball animations, in a similar stream to my above quote, will these be configurable to add new tiles such as DaddyDirk's arcade tiles. Hopefully all us mappers need to do is add a simple mod check and tell it to add functionality to additional tiles on the map.

[late hound]

These arcade and pinball machine animations are referenced by string values in the lua. So yes, they can be used for whatever you want.

[hollow cloud]

Anyone ever think about making something that would consolidate all the items that can pour into themselves? Like thread. Tedious when you have man and are trying to save on weight.

[echo leaf]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2438225189

I believe this mod will slap together threads that are at lower than 100% into larger stacks

So say you have 10 thread at 50%

It will stack them into 5thread

which then unstacks into 5 full thread

not exactly what you want but sorta

[hollow cloud]

Thank you will try now.

[echo leaf]

@hollow cloud Actually, scratch that (unless you also want that mod).

This is exactly what you're looking for: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912072507

[hollow cloud]

I have that one. Issue is that it all needs to be done by hand

If you have 70 thread you have to click on each to consolidate it into another one. Was looking for an option to be able to click or hotkey and allow script to run filling up all partials

[echo leaf]

Ah yeah I know what you mean

endgame problems

😛

[hollow cloud]

heh

[echo leaf]

the stacking one should help then

you can make some pretty fat stacks with it and as far as i can remember it also consolidates in one action

[hollow cloud]

OK. Trying now

[echo leaf]

Does anyone know of a mod, or if it's possible to make one, that separates the addition of spices from the addition of condiments/meats to food?

[undone heron]

you mean like a different item catagory?

[nimble spoke]

Yeah, I got a few players reporting that one. I will update the mod as soon as I find why

[echo leaf]

Thanks man

[red matrix]

Piano mod looks neat! Are there any old jazz standards that would work on it?

Stardust or King Porter Stomp would be neat

[drifting ore]

Any mod recommendations to spice up the game? (For build 41)

[fallow bridge]

you didn't add What Was Lost as a playable song, bad mod

;P

petition to make this man add What Was Lost

[grave solstice]

That's kind of funny. I'm currently learning Take the A Train on piano, but I didn't include ANY jazz in the song list. I guess once I have A Train down, I'll have to go update the mod with a few jazz pieces!

[grave solstice]

I don't know that song. Can you hum a few bars?

[fallow bridge]

hehehe

everyone who plays this game knows WWL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RExBRIA63EQ @grave solstice

[red matrix]

I've got tons of Duke Ellington's stuff on file. Nice choice!

[fallow bridge]

wrong version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh7qN-ohHxc&t=12s

newest version

everyone knows What Was Lost 🙂

[grave solstice]

How can a PZ song exist in PZ? Well, no issue since the song didn't exist in 1993.

[fallow bridge]

B

R

i mean

PAWS exists in the game

yet it didn't exist in 1993

¯_(ツ)_/¯

whatever i tried

[marble folio]

Hey, is there a efficient way of defining the loot distribution or you can only do it by hand in each place that you want?

[red matrix]

I'm working on that currently.

[fallow bridge]

i hate fucking with distro's

[red matrix]

When I'm done you'll be able to define contents for stuff by just messing with the procedural containers instead of room by room 'RandomStoreThings' and 'OtherStoreStuff', etc..

'StoreCounterTobacco' 'BookstoreBags' 'ClothesStoreHatsFormal', etc.

[fallow bridge]

store counters don't even hold loot anymore xD

[marble folio]

Ooohhh that's really nice

[grave solstice]

I'm staying away from professional recordings in the mod, since a random Zombie Apocalypse survivor is unlikely to be that good. But I'm sure I can scare some recordings of my favorite jazz pieces for the mod. Stardust would be near the top of the list.

[red matrix]

Fantastic! Even some lousy MIDIs of Scott Joplin tunes would make me smile like an idiot

[fallow bridge]

What Was Lost 😦

😭

[grave solstice]

Maple Leaf Rag is already there.

[red matrix]

Oh, sorry I only watched the first part of the video.

Custom anims being a thing blows my mind

[grave solstice]

Not in the video, but it is one of the 40+ pieces in the mod.

[grave solstice]

The custom animation doesn't look right with Maple Leaf Rag's tempo, but I did like the way it looked when I hit fast forward!

Maybe in the next version I'll give each piece a tempo designation, and adjust the animation speed accordingly.

[red matrix]

That sounds fantastic. Piano is one of those things I really wish I had been taught as a kid.

What's your impression of 'Finger Buster' lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VkKvlfrt-U

Holy shit

[grave solstice]

Crazy.

[marble folio]

One question
Procedural means that the item will 100% spawn without roll? depending on the min and max amount?

[red matrix]

The min/max is how many of that container type will spawn. Check the containers in ProceduralDistributions.lua and you'll see the rolls/items

[latent orchid]

the item roll itself is contained in the procedural_dsitro table. the min/max in distribution is as Baph said, the amount of times that particular loot table might be used

looking at the item rolls themselves, things like antique oven have 10,000 set for their roll

[red matrix]

That's a bit overkill but was intended to ensure the item always spawns lol

[latent orchid]

btw baph, noticed more changes in the distro change log today 🙂

already prepping my map for those changes

look like furniture will be in crates....more themed industrial locations is good

[red matrix]

Not sure if they'll end up in warehouses/factories but they'll fit nicely in storage units and furniture storage rooms. They're good for disassembly for XP/mats too

[latent orchid]

yeah. i actually always wanted to have crates with furniture in rear of furniture shops rather than tools and other odd bits

the changes will really add flavor to locations

[marble folio]

So Procedural is mostly used for a large amount of loot that has to go in the same place over and over? like the ones used in the kitchen: "KitchenDishes" ?

[red matrix]

Bingo!

Can be used for places with loads of containers to give them a bit more variety instead of having each one be a big grab bag of each item. Pots in one thing, cans in another, etc..

The tool store for example. Big piles of stuff. I'll organize things a touch more, certain tools with other tools. By function or something

[marble folio]

Ohhhh that's really nice, doens't spawn too much of one thing in one container

If in my mod distribution list I change a container from procedural to the other type with rolls and put one single item in there, will it mess up the Vanilla Distribution?

conflict or something

[red matrix]

Yep! The game will crash actually lol

If a container has been switched over to procedural, it can't have loose items because the entries under procList need to be tables with values 'name', 'min', 'max' etc..
If it's an item, it'll return a string instead then throw a fit

[marble folio]

lol
then I better not mess with it for now

[willow estuary]

Honestly, at this point, my advice is that everybody just hold off on anything distro related until Baph's distro-pocalypse improvement goes live?

That business is seriously fucking with my own plans right now .

[willow estuary]

Furniture related mod crafting too.

The workshop comments etc. are going to be a complete clusterfuck when this distro business goes down.

[latent orchid]

@red matrix Hopefully I got this right and its worthy of a pin

[errant meteor]

you should properly pin that

[red matrix]

I think the smaller dresser is also type wardrobe? You can see the type via the top bar in inventory-- I think 'wardrobe' is Cabinet

[latent orchid]

Yeah, i assumed it was sidetable....my bad

i dont think it will make a diff explaining things

the bed is also a custom coloring of mine 😂

[red matrix]

'junk' is also more of a 'non-modifier' version of the item roller. The numbers aren't affected by the world's loot stuff-- the thing that ties zombie density to loot

Like, if I put '10' for an item that isn't under 'junk' it won't actually be '10', but something messed around with by the various modifiers. Even '100' won't necessarily result in an item always spawning in that container-- unless it's under junk

I like the color job! Nice bed!

[latent orchid]

@red matrix updated version removing the sidetable line

[willow estuary]

Huh, I had no idea junk was more likely to spawn.

[latent orchid]

its so hard explaining the loot system to mappers without having an image showing all three elements side by side

[red matrix]

Nice job!

[willow estuary]

Ohhh, so junk isn't affected by zombie density?

So the stuff I want to have a 0.000001 spawn chance will actually have that spawn chance if I put it in the junk table?!?!?

[red matrix]

Yep!

[willow estuary]

Oh thank goat, that zombie density business was such a pain in the ass for super rare stuff like necronomicons.

[latent orchid]

i kind of figured that would be the case when i noticed some entries repeated in that section. i always thought junk was a nice to have thing

[red matrix]

Or porno mags-- or bags loaded with firearms

[willow estuary]

Thinking those things would be rare in rural kentucky....

[latent orchid]

@willow estuary there was the porn mag drought of '92 IIRC 😂

[fallow bridge]

i cannot read the text xD

"Groovy"

[carmine cosmos]

I see a lot of complaints about distributions very often in this channel so it is time for me to ask.

If you could make a request to the developers themselves what would be your ideal way to register new and change existing item distribution entries?

[spiral plover]

I could use a hand, I’ve almost got my profession exclusive traits working but I have one last hurdle

The listbox.item is a trait of sorts, but it’s not the same as the trait factory.getTrait? It has a getLabel() function but not a getName() function

So I run into the problem when trying to compare if the list has the trait or not because getLabel() is returning “Lab Grown” while the internal trait name is “labGrown”

Would traitFactory.getTrait(x):getLabel() work?

[spiral plover]

Great, so that works and now my conditions are passing correctly, but these functions don't work?

            self.listboxTrait:addItem(traitToCheck.traitName, TraitFactory.getTrait(traitToCheck.traitName));
        elseif tableContainsTrait(self.listboxTrait.items, TraitFactory.getTrait(traitToCheck.traitName):getLabel()) then
            print("removing trait?")
            self.listboxTrait:removeItem(traitToCheck.traitName);
        end```

removeItem and addItem, I have gotten both to work previously using the same code yet they aren't working here?

if I remove the :getLabel() from the first if statement then it will continually add the trait every time you click on the prof and remove it when clicking off, but, what

it doesn't remove it from the list when you start?

    for _, value in pairs(t) do
        if value.item:getLabel() == e then
            print("Found value in table, returning " .. value.item:getLabel())
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end```

here's the log, it literally should be working, what?

LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> Item is: unemployed
LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> Profession is: unemployed
LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> Attempting to filter traits
LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> false
LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> Found value in table, returning Lab Grown
LOG  : General     , 1619187538294> removing trait?```

Ehhhh?! Well I got it to work once because removeItem needed to be using :getLabel() but it doesn't work once you click on a different prof and add it back...

Yeah.. it's strange behaviour is making me think that it gets added correctly originally, and can be found and removed, but then when I add it back, it isn't added back correctly and can't be found to be removed

[willow estuary]

The apocalypse is better, IMO, with more trash, and more corpses.

Cache is the place. Keys are for testing, and not representative of the final version.

Not just pretty scenery, but useful as well....

[spiral plover]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got em'

Profession exclusive traits, now for the cool ones like genetic mutations 😎

[jovial summit]

What's the plan for test tube experiment?

[spiral plover]

My custom challenge map, Facility-7. Giant underground research lab you must escape. It'll have custom professions like the Test Tube Subject who spawns, naked, in a test tube.

You'll have the options for extremely awesome and unique traits, and around the lab will eventually be modules and genes and such you can inject into yourself to get unique traits

Will probably do a Cyborg profession eventually too

[jovial summit]

Oh damn, that sounds cool!

Good luck with that dude

[spiral plover]

They'll have custom clothes you can't take off to represent the cyborg transition and such. Thanks mate!

[grave solstice]

Does anyone know how to find out if a file exists in the PZ install directory? I'm trying to programmatically determine if my custom animation file is in the correct directory. I could probably solve the problem if I knew how to determine the path to the install directory.

[spiral plover]

I could use a hand with this as I am unsure of the how to do it, the xpUpdate is a list but I want to overwrite the levelPerk function in it

this clearly doesnt work

Hmm, so I need to add it to the function under Event.LevelPerk or whatever it is?

[left plank]

tarkov?

[undone heron]

perks related to the passive skills are for show and don't do anything. I.E if you have strength over 6, you get stout. if you have strength 4 or under, you gain weak

oh you said you wanted to overwrite it. it would only trigger on level up so gotta gain exp in a perk to test the print function

any guides out there to making clothing? I wanna make some custom clothing

[worldly olive]

Hi everyone!
Does this code has worked for someone? I'm being able to add the "Thin skin" trait but no matter how I try, I can't remove it again

player:getTraits():remove("Thinskinned");

[undone heron]

yeah worked for me

[worldly olive]

That remove has been working for me for all traits, except this one, I can't understand why, I add it but once I add it I can't remove it

[carmine cosmos]

That method will return false if the trait was not removed

[sour island]

Could you have added more than 1 copy to the list?

[errant meteor]

real shit?

[spiral plover]

Is the name wrong?

[worldly olive]

I don't think so, when the trait is created it is named as this: Thinskinned

I'm basically adding and removing it with this:

This one works
if not player:HasTrait("Thinskinned") then
player:getTraits():add("Thinskinned");
end

This one doesn't
if player:HasTrait("Thinskinned") then
player:getTraits():remove("Thinskinned");
end

It is strange because it only happens with this trait, the others works

[spiral plover]

Also, does anyone know if ZombRand returns an int or or float?

[echo leaf]

this is such an awesome idea 😄

[harsh prairie]

I keep getting an error that says tsarslib under my other mods that are installed. Not sure how to fix it

[grave solstice]

Float between 0 and 1, I think 0 is not included

[spiral plover]

Makes sense, thanks

[rocky lynx]

This is real, Snake's Mansion available in my mod pack!

SuperHero outfit included (Easter Egg - Annoted Map)! xD

[marble folio]

Go into PZ workshop, search for the Tsarslib (Tsar's Common Library) and download. It's probably just that

Hey, what program do I use to open .X Files from animsX? I have an idea using assets from the PZ itself but i don't know to put it all together yet

[spiral plover]

So uh, anyone know how to add a level directly for a perk (stat)?

owner:LoseLevel(perk);

that works to remove a level

but I can only find AddXP functions for the alternative

[harsh prairie]

Thanks @marble folio !

[errant meteor]

hell yes

[rocky lynx]

If you want to try it, you can download my mod pack from my blog: (Recommended use this pack alone for better gaming experience) http://pzmodding.blogspot.com/2020/08/pack-de-mods-by-snake.html

[worldly olive]

Owner:setPerkLevel(Perks.Fitness) = 10

I think that should work as an example, I dont know if you can add by one bur you can set the level you want

thank youu

[undone heron]

hmmmm, what reason could there be for a new clothing item texture to not show up?

media -> Script folder, create the item. Item shows up correctly

    item Strap_Dress
    {
        Type = Clothing,
        DisplayName = Strap Dress,
        ClothingItem = Strap_Dress,
        BodyLocation = Dress,
        BloodLocation = ShortsShort;Shirt,
        Icon = DressShortWhite,
        Insulation = 0.1,
        WindResistance = 0.05,
        FabricType = Cotton
    }

media -> clothing -> clothingItems. Created the XML file by coping the Dress xml and re-naming it to Strap_dress. Then changed the file texture path to the correct one

    <m_BaseTextures>clothes\dress\strap_dress</m_BaseTextures>

texture file is in clothes -> dress, and is named strap_dress

am I missing a step?

[marble folio]

maybe case sensitive?
in the code is Strap_Dress
and in the textures that you said is strap_dress

(I'm still learning and idk if the names are case sensitive like that)

[undone heron]

nope, still not showing. made sure it was the exact same

[late hound]

Is the model invisible or are you getting the red and white checkerboard?

[undone heron]

it is invisible

[late hound]

what does the model normally look like? If it was a missing texture, it would show a red and white checkerboard texture on it.

[undone heron]

it should just be the dress model with a new texture

[late hound]

ok what does the .xml Clothingitem say?

[undone heron]

Dress_Long (the one I copied)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<clothingItem>

Did you create a new folder called "dress"?

[undone heron]

yes

going to try to make one called dress_textures and see

nope, still invisible

it feels like there is something I am missing

help
I'm learning to make a mod by following Blackbeard tutorial on youtube and trying to add a custom soda to the game, but something is going wrong and I tried to find out what for almost 2 days but I still don't know. The item doesn't spawn in game and the console shows this:

GRAVE: Error found in LUA file: C:/Users/Gomberg/Zomboid/mods/Dolly Guarana/media/lua/server/items/DLY-Distributions.lua
ERROR: General , 1619226548009> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaException: DLY-Distributions.lua:274: unexpected symbol near <eof> at LexState.lexerror line:279.

I've checked the code and there is nothing at the end, just this that I have no idea (yet) what it does

table.insert(Distributions, 1, distributionTable);

--for mod compat:
SuburbsDistributions = distributionTable;

[undone heron]

GRAVE ERROR

you have a bad symbol in your file

the error happened at 279. in your file

ye... I gonna have to re-re-recheck it then and learn more about lua. Thank youu

[dusty vortex]

hey, is there a guide somewhere on how to make my own custom clothes

and maybe templates?

[lethal sparrow]

You've really been going H.A.M, Blair, but this takes the cake. Those are really impressive

[willow estuary]

Ahaha, it's all sketchfab + creative commons and not me 😄

[round kiln]

i would like to make a mod, but eh i wanna start with something simple, and like idk what i should do first though

[carmine cosmos]

https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide/tree/master/clothing

[shy quiver]

Hi, I like the MRE mod but they are way way too abundant. I found the distribution file, what kind of numbers can I put in that make them really rare?

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "USMRE.MREmenu01");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 0.05);```

even at 0.05 they are too common on zeds

[willow estuary]

Ah, I think the problem here is that the chance of something spawning is modified by the number of zombies in the vicinity, so items that are supposed to be rare will always spawn too often when zombies are around.

I'd just strike out the park where they spawn on zombies entirely.

[shy quiver]

yeah, fair enough. I think I'll do that and modify the mre box spawn chance to be rarer

can the distributions go into the thousandths?

[willow estuary]

Yeah, but it, in testing, makes no difference.
Zombies affecting the chance pretty much means that there's a practical floor to what the chance really is.

I've tried 0.0000001 and it spawns just as often as 0.1

Pretty much anywhere items spawn, there are zombies so

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-nackenziehen-i-dont-know-keine-ahnung-davesmall-gif-12462075

[drifting ore]

How can I make custom Challanges?

[willow estuary]

Now, apparently, the junk table entries are not affected by zombies, but there is no junk table for corpse inventories.
Adding a junk table to zombie inventories isn't impossible, but it's not really a "beginner" thing and also frankly it seems like a huge fuckaround as opposed to just setting it so zombies don;t drop MREs?

[shy quiver]

Fair, thank you for the help

I just removed the zombie spawn entirely

[willow estuary]

Now, assuming that you are new to modding for PZ/lua, I'sd say that's not a feasible "beginner" project and you should try making some simple mods first to get a handle on things.

If not, then I'd say it's a matter of time + repeated, repeated, repeated trial and error.

[drifting ore]

👍 Just asking around

[willow estuary]

Yeah, not trying to discourage anyone, I'm just a big advocate of learning simple stuff and working up from that?
It took me a year and a ton of mods before I felt like I knew anything and could actually implement the ideas I had that were past simple hack jobs.
Granted, in my case, I'm a huge dummy.

You could try modifying an existing challenge and see where that gets you.

[carmine cosmos]

I would recommend learning the basics of the language you want to be working in first

Then learning how to setup your development working environment

[willow estuary]

Yeah the working environment is really important.
For example I try to have a cup of coffe and an ashtray with a couple of pre-rolled joints within arms reach when working on stuff.

[carmine cosmos]

[drifting ore]

Yeah I get it, new to this game but not to modding games in general. So I get the process

[carmine cosmos]

If you are looking to learn how to do Lua modding I can share some resources

With Lua modding I mean Project Zomboid Lua modding

[drifting ore]

No thank you, just looking around. I have another modding project I need to finish before I jump into another one

[carmine cosmos]

Don't know why you are asking for information if you are not interested in it

[drifting ore]

Cause I thought it would be relatively simple, but now I know that it is not I rather not get into it for the time being

[carmine cosmos]

It is relatively simple, but not if you are not willing to even read documentation

Good luck with your other projects though

[willow estuary]

Oh good, well then you got a leg up on most peeps 🙂
Fenris wrote up a good starter guide, it's incomplete but dude is probably the smartest person in the PZ community and really knows his shit and best practices
https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide

[carmine cosmos]

...really knows his shit and best practices
I do not agree with this, he believes that modders should stay away from IDE's

Working in notepad is not best practice when it comes to modding

[drifting ore]

A map of Raven Creek. In case anyone wants it for their game, I know I did.

It's very well done for sure

TIS really needs to just cut the laser on the laser pointer

it looks so bad

[spiral plover]

idk, it doesn't look so bad in-game when equipped I thought

[craggy furnace]

now holster it

nice little laser beam stays on

[spiral plover]

Well, yeah, that part isnt so great

Just added my new favorite trait to my facility map. "Doomed" gives you a random timer of 6 to 12 months, affected by lucky/unlucky, that once your time is up, every day there is a chance for your doom to begin

and once doomed, well... you'll be dead within the day

[craggy furnace]

man, having cancer in zomboid would be so depressing

i got back in TWD recently and theres a callback episode which is basically scavenging for chemo drugs

so brutal

[late hound]

Here's Negan?

[craggy furnace]

yep

[late hound]

a great episode

[craggy furnace]

didnt wanna spoil

[spiral plover]

Yeah.. good episodes, definitely a sad story.

I figured it would add an interesting aspect to the game, and there's also a genetic mutation trait that adds and removes traits randomly (probably will limit the traits it can add/remove) so that may be the only option to remove the doomed trait from your character

I was considering a very rare and special cure procedure but... nah

[spiral plover]

Hmm, having an issue where my mod's traits aren't being saved on my character and become considered unkown?

My thought is that since my traits are added OnGameBoot

that they do not work properly when I am just reloading the LUA via the "Continue" button

Anyone know about this?

O wait, maybe there was just a bug, hold on

[wise ravine]

Is there a mod for tying a brick or something heavy to the drivers wheel of a car to set off the alarm? To like attract zombozals

And I know about the police cars sirens, it would be nice if you could do that to normal cars

[craggy furnace]

@late hound damn, animations broke my game lol

nevermind, just fixed it

[spiral plover]

Where can I find a list of events I can add to? Looking to add an event to player spawn

[late hound]

@late hound damn, animations broke my game lol
@craggy furnace What happened?

[red matrix]

Correct. All the pros use Notepad++

I use it a hell of a lot more than IntelliJ. IDE's are like flying a space shuttle for a crop dusting run. Yoke and throttle works just as fine as fly-by-wire.

[undone heron]

IntelliJ is more useful when it comes to java modding. but when it comes to just lua...

notepadd++ all the wya ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spiral plover]

Hrm.. does anyone know how I can get the player's profession once they've loaded into the game?

I can't find a getProfession() function, not sure where to look

[jovial summit]

Does anyone know the compat between Moonslime's extra traits and Dynamic traits?

[craggy furnace]

@late hound No clue

Maybe I forgot I modded it

[round zenith]

nah use atom, bad asses dont need to debug

[craggy furnace]

idk

VSC is great if you want something modular

you can even assign presets and make templates on the fly

[spiral plover]

I haven't been able to see anything but guess I'll ask, has anyone seen anyway to prevent the player from being dragged down/changing the drag down script?

[echo leaf]

@willow estuary Hey man! I'm not 100% sure this is correlated to the coke baggie but I'm pretty sure.

I did a line, and my character hasn't needed to sleep for many, many days. So I checked with the healthbar mod and my fatigue is stuck at something like 2^-6, is that to be expected or did something explode?

(from marching powder)

[willow estuary]

Probably another mod. Just tested, doesn't happen to me and fatigue doesn't go below o.

How many other mods are you using?

[severe ridge]

❄️ 👃

[echo leaf]

I've done a few lines in the past and nothing went amiss, was just this last one that's been a doozy

And a few mods but nothing that affects endurance. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't expected behavior, thanks for the response 🙂

Do you know of a way to reset the fatigue value?

[willow estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4vjVetZPpM

[echo leaf]

lol okay

thanks

[echo leaf]

@willow estuary fwiw I used the cheat menu mod to enable and then disable god mode and it fixed it

reset fatigue to 0 and it started behaving normally again

[sour island]

You can setup intelliJ with zomboid's exposed functions and have it autocomplete list them as you're typing

I rarely go digging in the java to see what does what anymore- and I've been able to replace the entire helicopter event, add preset options, event scheduler, etc

[craggy furnace]

IDE's have a place and a purpose

if you can get away with using a text editor for minutia then go for it

i dont like using space ships for what is basically going from point A to B

[spiral plover]

Hey.. anyone know how I can force a zombie to be shoved back/fall over?

there is hitConsequences(HandWeapon weapon, IsoGameCharacter wielder, boolean bIgnoreDamage, float damage, boolean bKnockdown) but I just get errors

my error is being super helpful too

[carmine cosmos]

I am not convinced that PZ devs use Notepad++ to write game code

But perhaps you don't consider them professionals

https://tenor.com/view/bryan-cranston-mic-drop-drops-microphone-im-out-gif-4500408

[red matrix]

I am working directly with them and they are most assuredly professional 😄

Very lovely people!

[undone heron]

the darkest dungeon devs use Notepad++ for a good chunk of thier code

[red matrix]

I guess my comfort factor depends on how familiar I am with all the things that tool can do. Notepad++ has fewer functions/features that aren't relevant to what I'm working on. I can use a Swiss army knife to cut fruit, but I've also got a paring knife.

The devs use IntelliJ for their stuff, if others were wondering. I really wish I had spent time in school learning this stuff instead of doodling robots and big swords and stupid shit like that.

[carmine cosmos]

Of course they do, and this is what you are suppose to use for modding as well

Pretending like there is no need is just setting low expectation for fellow modders

[red matrix]

My monocle just fell into my martini glass. Good heavens.

[carmine cosmos]

You are not helping the community when you recommend Notepad over IDE

[red matrix]

You're not helping the community by being such a lovely person.

I've already been warned by others that you're rude

Nice rep my man.

[carmine cosmos]

Don't know why you are trying to pick a fight with me

But I've said what I wanted, now you can continue with your sarcasm

[red matrix]

Forgive me, Data. The vagaries of language are indeed confusing. 'setting low expectation's and 'not helping the community' are hard to perceive as non-adversarial statements.

Clearly my shit needs recalibrating. You are very polite.

Speaking to the topic, the only benefit to having an IDE setup is having exposed things tied to it in a library

cause you can find this stuff rather quickly

If you're just tweaking vanilla stuff, or someonelse's mod, you're probably better off using notepad++ with a few plugins

[carmine cosmos]

Also decompiling, code navigation, debuging, unit testing and more

[spiral plover]

oh sweet! That's super simple. I guess the docs are a little outta date

Thanks so much!

[sour island]

Running the game outof intelliJ and getting more accurate debug info is useful, yes

[red matrix]

That was handy! I'd like to be able to cut out the stuff I don't need

[carmine cosmos]

The vector logic we worked on would not be possible to do without IDEA

Those were your words as far as I remember 🤔

[red matrix]

Oh shit you gotta back him up now, or you're in hot water!

[spiral plover]

Hell YES!

Thank you so much @sour island

[sour island]

It would have been done either from having the IDE generate the information needed, or dig through java files -- looking through Java files would have taken longer

[sour island]

Np

what are the ?s

[carmine cosmos]

You figured out the logic by running unit tests

[spiral plover]

Alarm lights I need to remove

[red matrix]

Some weird map object

[spiral plover]

was trying to make blinking lights ages ago but not enough is exposed from what I remember

[carmine cosmos]

from having the IDE generate the information needed,
What information is IDE generating that you are using?

[sour island]

what's actually exposed

[carmine cosmos]

That is not generated by IDE

[spiral plover]

Ah man it's been a long while since I looked at it, there is a light class and I could set up the light but I couldn;t figure out how to update it quickly enough

[sour island]

it is when you have your gradle scripts setup

[spiral plover]

it would change the stats on time but the lighting itself never updated

[carmine cosmos]

The Lua library you are referring to is generated by ZomboidDoc

Would be really great if IDE did it automatically though

[willow estuary]

Might be doable by, on every so many player updates, by checking the surrounding squares for the specific tiles with your lights and toggling them, but may slow down the game.

[spiral plover]

Yeah, I was able to make it work by toggling the light component but... that was just the game switching a literal light switch on and off lol

you could even hear the sound effect of the switch flipping

I may take another look again soon

[willow estuary]

Ah yeah, that sounds like an unwanted complication 😄

Maybe something the electronics rework might make feasible?

[red matrix]

Isn't there a bunch of deprecated/nonfunctional stuff related to lights? I remember having a hell of a time getting them to shut off/delete during some tinkering with a 'more burned' house

[willow estuary]

You just had to remind me of the nonfunctional functions 😢

[red matrix]

If you've ever wondered what a building looks like with 100% burn coverage, it's awful. Remove the roofs first 😄

[sour island]

were you using the setActive() function?

[spiral plover]

I believe so, yes

That was after many failed attempts

[sour island]

briefly looking at the java, but that one has the light switch built in

try switchLight(boolean)

I assume true is on

[round kiln]

is it ok to modify some mods that i got from workshop a bit?

[spiral plover]

Hmm, I'll take a look at that one!

idk where my script went though lol

[sour island]

setActive calls it after it goes through a bunch of stuff

[spiral plover]

May have deleted that one out of frustration

[sour island]

and it looks like it turns on the lights

[carmine cosmos]

Yes of course

[spiral plover]

Oh! Found it

[round kiln]

hm i see

[spiral plover]

        isoLight:setRadius(maxRadius)
        isoObject:switchLight(true)
    elseif radius >= maxRadius then
        isoLight:setRadius(minRadius)
        isoObject:switchLight(false)
    end```

looks like I had found that function, yet it did not work

Ah well

[round kiln]

where can i find the textures for the game?

nvm i found it, just gotta find the ingame files

oh but i cant find the ones for the icons that appear in the inventory

these icons, where can i find these?

ok i think i found a way

i wanna like, try to make some sort of mod that allows for multiple skins of already existing items, like that extra color for some clothing items for example

[sour island]

which object were you trying to apply it to?

it's supposed to be called on the IsoLightSwitch

and this would be to flicker the lights in the room

just to clarify

[spiral plover]

local isoLight = isoObject:getLights():get(0)

should be an IsoLightSwitch

[sour island]

getlights doesn't appear to be an isoobject function

getlights is an isoLightSource function

to get the lights connected to the switch

getlights returns an array of IsoLightSources

weirdly enough lightsources don't have functions to tturn them off lol

thats handled by their switches

you can setactive but that just changes their field

it doesn't register an update

[spiral plover]

Ahhh, alright

that makes sense

[sour island]

is the isoobject in this case the lightswitch?

[spiral plover]

Yes I believe it is

[sour island]

Do you run your game in debug?

[spiral plover]

I do! Although the current tile is not in my game

[sour island]

you'd be able to see errors- if you're trying to call the wrong function

[spiral plover]

Also, my newest trait

[sour island]

neat

the true in knock down is if they're falling forward btw

[spiral plover]

oh is it?

[sour island]

I kind of like that they collapse toward you though

yeah

[spiral plover]

Handy to know 😄

[sour island]

do you have it apply to IsoZombie?

[spiral plover]

Yes it should be

otherwise wouldn't be working, right

[sour island]

ah, nvm, I was going to suggest making it IsoGameCharacter to apply to players but knockdown is strictly zombie only

it's just knocking them down right, not killing them?

[spiral plover]

Yup!

and that is the intention

[sour island]

that'd be an interesting mp game mode

1 player killing anything it runs into

[spiral plover]

That is an interesting thought

Like the snail that will kill you in one touch lol

[round kiln]

literally so powerful they die by just touching ya lol

[spiral plover]

Not die* they'll get right back up

[round kiln]

basically unstoppable force vs movable object lol

[spiral plover]

It's an 8 cost trait for a reason, but it isn't as strong as it looks. If not in god mode you'll hit the zombies, likely slow down, maybe trip even. Knockdown is also a random chance

@sour island while you're around, do you happen to know anything about preventing play dragdown?

[sour island]

I know there's a sandbox option for it

also if you're in ghost mode it doesn't happen

[spiral plover]

Both I am aware of, meaning it is a toggleable, in theory, value

[sour island]

are they killing you just by there being too many around?

[spiral plover]

Nah it's not an issue with Bulwark, but my Undying trait it is an issue

as it knocks down all nearby zombies if your health is really low, heals you to full and all, but... being dragged down doesn't change your HP

so if 3 zombies gang up on you, I can't activate the trait because, once in the animation, as far as I am aware, you're dead

[sour island]

you can override IsoGameCharacter :setDeathDragDown()

[spiral plover]

Oh?! I was looking for exactly that and couldn't find it!

Haha thank you!

[sour island]

idk if the game will freak out tho lol

[spiral plover]

We'll see I suppose!

Do you have any more info on how that function works?

[sour island]

I was looking in BodyDamage.java's AddRandomDamageFromZombie()

it calls if there if there's enough zombies around you

I figured if you made it return false instead depending on the situation

it should prevent it

wait

with undying zombies shouldn't attack right?

[spiral plover]

They still attack, it triggers when you're at less than 10 HP, heals all your wounds, and knocks over all nearby zombies

[sour island]

you could override IsoGameCharacter:getSurroundingAttackingZombies()

to always return 0 with specific parameters

this is called a bit earlier in the dragdown process

should be more reliable

[spiral plover]

Yeah I've just opened my script and found it, hmmm

looks like the way to go for sure

(I forgot I had jd installed lol)

[sour island]

are you familiar with overriding?

[spiral plover]

Yeah, had to do it a bunch to add profession exclusive traits

[sour island]

alrighty, neat work so far

[spiral plover]

function IsoGameCharacter:getSurroundingAttackingZombies()
    --Incase I need to add something
    oldGetSurroundingZs()
end```

just to be safe though, that should work, yes?

[sour island]

you have to prevent the original from running

IF you're parameters are met

[spiral plover]

Of course, just simply talking about the overriding part

[sour island]

yeah

also
```lua

can somone teach me how to add a new cookible item into the game

[drifting ore]

How hard would it be to make a mod that just makes picked food never go bad?
Absolutely 0 coding knowledge, but it should just be deleting one thing and adding another right?

[spiral plover]

I'm on a roll adding these traits now, they're a ton of fun to add

Scratches, Lacerations, and Deep wounds will randomly appear based on several factors. Traits that effect it: Lucky, Unlucky, prone to Illness, Resilient, Thin-Skinned, Thick Skinned. Stats that affect the chances of wounds appearing: Stress level, fatigue level, panic level, and sadness

[lethal sparrow]

Is a mod even necessary? Surely you could just turn food spoilage off. I'm not a wizard with sandbox settings like some are, but I remember seeing something similar.

Didn't gas pumps already run out of gas eventually?

Or does this just lower how much gas is left on the pumps when the world is loaded

[echo leaf]

2000 units, so 400 gas cans, afaik

[drifting ore]

Oh

Yeah this mod makes more sense now

Will keep it in mind when i make a 6 months later game

[willow estuary]

Gas pumps in Vanilla never run out.
There's code for them running out, but it looks like it was disabled.

[drifting ore]

i had no idea that was a thing

[willow estuary]

It's a common misconception that they hold so much that people never empty them.
But it's not the case.

[drifting ore]

Thanks for the mod then, the challenge is part of the fun

How much is there on the pumps on average, or is that just randomized?

[willow estuary]

It's randomized but I have a policy of not explaining exact details like that, as I think it's more fun to learn through playing.

[drifting ore]

Fair

That also explains what your mods say on the description because for the longest time it seemed to me that you believed other people were an annoyance

[willow estuary]

Ah, there's certainly a loud, demanding minority that have proven to be enough of a bother that I've chosen to close certain avenues of communication.

[spiral plover]

Hmm... I'm trying to get a list of all the traits the player has, but it's being picky

Do I need to use that descriptor thing?

Nope.. not that

There's an isoGameCharacter.getTraits() but I just keep getting the error tried to call a non-function

@sour island would you happen to know anything about this? Apologies for the @

[sour island]

use :

[spiral plover]

    local player = _player;
    for i,traits in player:getTraits() do
        print(traits:getLabel());  
    end
end```

I am, that's my function, I've tried just printing traits, traits:getName(), and traits:getLabel()

doesn't work, because it gets stuck on player:getTraits()

[sour island]

get traits doesn't return a list

[spiral plover]

seriously... it says it returns a damn array! Ugh!

What even does it return then?

[sour island]

it's an arraylist

also you have to use pairs() in lua - if it was a lua friendly list

[spiral plover]

oh shoot that is also a mistake

but you're saying it won't work?

[sour island]

you can use :size() on what it returns, and get()

some functions in PZ return table/arrays (lists) that Lua can use

some return arrayLists which it can't

well it can

but you have to use the exposed arrayList functions

[spiral plover]

oooh, alright

makes sense

[sour island]

I might have an example handy hold on

[spiral plover]

That would be super useful!

[sour island]

    --- Raise the dead
    function DEBUG_TESTS.raiseTheDead()
        local player = getSpecificPlayer(0)
        local squaresInRange = getIsoRange(player, 15)
        local reanimated=0

        for sq=1, #squaresInRange do
            ---@type IsoGridSquare
            local square = squaresInRange[sq]
            local squareContents = square:getDeadBodys()

            for i=1, squareContents:size() do
                ---@type IsoDeadBody
                local foundObj = squareContents:get(i-1)

                if instanceof(foundObj, "IsoDeadBody") then
                    reanimated = reanimated+1
                    foundObj:reanimateNow()
                end
            end
        end
        print("-- Reanimated: "..reanimated)
    end

[spiral plover]

Aaah, I see

that does make sense

[sour island]

ignore the first for

also just realized a mistake lol

[spiral plover]

Haha no worries

[sour island]

arrayLists start at 0

something to keep in mind, most things in java start at 0 when numerated

[spiral plover]

Aha it is working indeed

[sour island]

Lua starts at 1

[spiral plover]

Right, so you need the -1

[sour island]

you can also just do i=0

[spiral plover]

Ah, makes sense

[sour island]

I find it's cleaner that way

now I know why some of the dead bodies don't get up lol

[spiral plover]

        print(player:getTraits():get(i));
    end```

there's nothing wrong with that loop, right?

it worked so I don't see what would be lol

[sour island]

damn i'm tired

you're right you do need the -1 on size

but yeah that's fine

Idk why I had i-1 on each iteration lol

[spiral plover]

Happens all the time when overthinking things in the name of simplicity lol

Thanks for all the help, I can get this Multi personality disorder working now 😎

[sour island]

ooh, what does it do?

rotates through sets of traits?

[spiral plover]

Pretty much! It gets all your chosen traits, then will change personalities to a secondary selection of traits. That secondary selection consists of the polar opposites of all your chosen traits, and if it has no opposite, a random trait instead.

It also does not swap body related ones like weight or asthmatic

[grave solstice]

Updated my Playable Arcade Machines mod with AuthenticPeach's custom animations! I have an in-world laundromat commercial that shows the new animations off! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwbR0b9KQXE

[random terrace]

How would one go about changing the item variables with lua? Changing weight of an item for example

I assumed it would be in this class but not sure https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/inventory/InventoryItem.html

I see there's methods for some, but not all

[round kiln]

theres one that i found that changes some items into a weapon, like the kettle or mug
idk much about modding but if you check the code, there probs should be lines of code that might help changing some variables

[random terrace]

A mod that does that you mean? Any idea what the mod is called in that case?

[round kiln]

i think its something like vanilaa revamped? icant remember, however you might find what i mean by typing sillyplunger or silly plunger in the search bar, as its like an extra mod for that

@random terrace

wait i found it

@random terrace https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2357915214&searchtext=silly

and i guess if you want to edit it like this way, you have to download that item tweaker mod

[random terrace]

The item tweaker api does look like it could solve my problem, thank you

Anyone who has experience with this though, can I change only the current instance of an item?

[round kiln]

oh but

seems like its kinda outdated

[random terrace]

last updated 2015 lel

[round kiln]

lol

i tried playing with this and that mod before

seems like it works still though

you may have to try it for yourself if it works, or ask someone else, again i got no experience from modding lol

[willow estuary]

Item properties modified by item tweaker have nothing to do with translations, that person is mistaken.

Changing item names via translation files is also one of the easiest things to do in the game. I don't know what this person is going on about.

[willow estuary]

Item tweaker doesn't need to be updated. The code that makes it work has nothing to do with changes to PZ since 2015.
Lots of people use it; it's the gold standard for modifying items.

You don't use it and you get silliness like changes to b41 breaking items like people's "better hammers" mods not working when b41 changes to the tag system.

[willow estuary]

Not with item tweaker.

Also, FYI, a good 50% of all posts on workshop comments are complete nonsense, so don't pay them too much heed.

[random terrace]

Yeah, I shouldn't be too surprised to be honest

Thank you for the info though

In this case though, if there's no setter method for the specific thing im trying to change, is it undoable?

[willow estuary]

Well, if you mean modifying specific qualities of an instance of an item, you can edit some of the values with things like being an admin in MP or using debug mode.

But only some of the item properties that are modified will be persistent between saving/reloading etc.
I don't recall which ones though.

[random terrace]

Yeah, I noticed it's doable in debug mode, which is the main reason im even trying to get it done, more specifically I want to add it to my mod though, so doing it through admin or debug mode isn't what im looking for

Trying to make it so if a specific attachement is on a gun, it can't be put in a normal holster

[harsh prairie]

Is there a way I can create folders in the mod screen to organize my mods?

[willow estuary]

This is probably your best bet in that vein: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2404803647

[sour island]

😩 thank you

That person was probably using itemtweaker to translate before translations were easier lol.

Itemtweaker is such a barebones technique but that also makes it solid. It grabs the item after it's been defined and adjusts specific variables. Which means two mods can change the same item aslong as it's not the same variable there won't be any issue. More mods should use it.

Scripts are usually all or nothing per item- so you always have a competition.

[spiral plover]

Say, anyone know how I can trigger a song to play? Would love to trigger an intense song when the player resists death with the Undying trait of mine

[spiral plover]

Ahah! I've found it!

Now epic music will play when you resist death, and sad music will play when your doom begins hehe

[spiral plover]

hrm.. or maybe not - or maybe so, got it working

[worldly olive]

Hi guys!
Does someone knows how to apply an exp bonus on a player skill? I know that addXPBoost add the exp bonus based on a trait, but is there a way to apply the bonus directly to a skill?

[sour island]

look for references to Perks

[round kiln]

huh, i see now

[willow estuary]

The workshop comments.... .....are not reliable to say the least.

[round kiln]

i guess sometimes it is, sometimes its not huh

I'll keep that in mind

how hard is it to convert a mod from b40 to b41?

[willow estuary]

There's no simple answer to that.
Many of the systems in PZ are the same in b41 as b40, while the others are completely different.

[round kiln]

i see i see, so it could be very easy to do, or it would be hard that it might need a complete overhaul

[willow estuary]

Also, the when b41 stable is released, it will have a lot of changes from the current build, so even a converted mod might have the wheels come off and the engine start smoking when it releases, just to be forewarned.

[worldly olive]

Does somebody knows what the "getTimeSinceLastSmoke" returns? it is a float, but I can't understand what it means, also if I print the value and I speed up the game to see how it evolve, it reaches a maximum value of 10 before even finishing the first day so 🤔

[undone heron]

Absolutely nothing if you don't have the smoker trait

I know what you're trying to do cause I tried too xD

If you have the smoker trait, it increases over a day and increases stress.

If you don't have the smoker trait, then the value does nothing and doesn't function

[worldly olive]

🤣

I want to remove the smoker trait once a certain amount of time happened in the game and the player did not smoked on that time

But the counter only counts up to ten

[undone heron]

Okay, so if you just want to remove the trait, then that's possible

So basically you create a modData value called X since last smoked

You then add a lua event on hours, minutes, or days (that will be X).

In this event, you check if last smoked is at 10, and if it is, increase the counter. If it isn't, you reset the counter

Then once say... X gets to 100 (if hours do like 1000). Remove the smoking trait

The issue becomes once you loose smoking, can't get it back since the getTimeSinceLastSmoke stops functioning and is stuck at 10

[sour island]

when you smoke it doesn't reset?

[undone heron]

Not without the trait

[sour island]

ah, true

[spiral plover]

Pretty easy to either set it manually or just keep track yoruself

[sour island]

yeah

probably better to not rely on game systems like that either

[undone heron]

Oh? How would you get a specific item being used

[sour island]

Use(

doesn't each item have that function?

OnUse(*

You could insert the time of smoking + arbitrary time to lose it into a table saved in the player's modData, then in OnPlayerUpdate delete times that match it as you go

if that list ever get's over a certain length add smoker trait

you can also make it so new entries could have longer cooldown times based on the length of the list so it's more likely to develop the addiction

[worldly olive]

🤔

Very interesting

[undone heron]

I don't think I seen OnUse, but wouldn't know how to really call it without using constant player update events

[sour island]

half the game is calling constant ontick events

don't be scared to throw in your own

[undone heron]

Yeah I try to avoid if possible

[sour island]

not an issue if it's short and sweet

like I wouldn't use a for in the update

you can abuse lua tables' keys for quicker lookup

[undone heron]

I don't want to add more (if possible).

I know I can plug into the 'smoke' time action most likely. Tho from testing with literacy and some other mods, I haven't figured out how to plug into a timed action that completes.

(unless that's the preform function. Which sucked when I tested it)

[sour island]

----- OnEat_Cigarettes IS NOT RECIPE CODE.  IT IS CALLED BY IsoGameCharacter.Eat() -----
-- smoking cigarettes gives more bonus to a smoker
function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)

[undone heron]

Like wanting to increase/reset a variable on action complete and not if they stop.

[sour island]

I assume eat is called under Use( for food....unless can a player just eat them?

[worldly olive]

Same, haven't seen that event 🤔

[undone heron]

would make all the addict traits

[sour island]

----- OnEat_Cigarettes IS NOT RECIPE CODE.  IT IS CALLED BY IsoGameCharacter.Eat() -----
-- smoking cigarettes gives more bonus to a smoker
function OnEat_Cigarettes(food, character, percent)
    local script = food:getScriptItem()
    percent = percent * (food:getStressChange() * 100) / script:getStressChange()
    local bodyDamage = character:getBodyDamage()
    local stats = character:getStats()
    if character:HasTrait("Smoker") then
        bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() - 10 * percent);
        if bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() < 0 then
            bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(0);
        end
        stats:setStress(stats:getStress() - 10 * percent);
        if stats:getStress() < 0 then
            stats:setStress(0);
        end
        local reduceSFC = stats:getMaxStressFromCigarettes()
        stats:setStressFromCigarettes(stats:getStressFromCigarettes() - reduceSFC * percent);
        character:setTimeSinceLastSmoke(stats:getStressFromCigarettes() / stats:getMaxStressFromCigarettes());
    else
--        bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() + 5);
--        if bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() > 100 then
--            bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(100);
--        end
        bodyDamage:setFoodSicknessLevel(bodyDamage:getFoodSicknessLevel() + 14 * percent);
        if bodyDamage:getFoodSicknessLevel() > 100 then
            bodyDamage:setFoodSicknessLevel(100);
        end
    end
end

you can litterally just have time since last smoke tracked here

like move it outside of the check for smoker trait

it's the last line of the if smoker block

[undone heron]

Is that from the timed actions file?

[sour island]

no it's in the recipes

server/recipecode

[undone heron]

Never looked in there cause didn't think on use would be in there. Ty for point out the right place.

[sour island]

tbh I'm just using ctrl+shift+f "TimeSinceLastSmoke"

[undone heron]

Yeah, I can do like what I did for the tooltips. Store the original in a variable, overwrite the original function, have it perform the original task, and then do my non-smoker variable tracking

[sour island]

I think I was thinking of recipes OnUse stuff

but it appears that's how this function is called for smoking

    item Cigarettes
    {
        Count    =    20,
        HungerChange    =    0,
        Weight    =    0.005,
        RequireInHandOrInventory    =    Lighter/Matches,
        Type    =    Food,
        DisplayName    =    Cigarettes,
        StressChange    =    -5,
        Icon    =    IckySticks,
        CustomContextMenu = Smoke,
        CantBeFrozen = TRUE,
        OnEat = OnEat_Cigarettes,
        StaticModel = Cigarette,
        EatType = Cigarettes,
        CustomEatSound =
    }

also this is what i've been working on

[severe ridge]

eating ciggies delish

[sour island]

wow that's tiny

wth

[undone heron]

Red circle

⭕

[sour island]

it's for a range scan code

I had it partially working- but I needed a visual to confirm

[undone heron]

For a bomb?

[sour island]

for heli attacks

[undone heron]

Ahhh yes

[sour island]

it's actually a grid- the ywllow circles are the centers

so 3x3s

[severe ridge]

ooo 🧐

[sour island]

it grabs all those tiles, and counts the zombies with in each 3x3

[undone heron]

Ahh, I saw the empty square in the middle

[sour island]

center is still counted- just not rendered

I figure I should give it center by default

but it's adjustable

between how wide the red should go

[undone heron]

Hmmm, does it do a variable amount of damage in each 3x3 section, a set amount to each zed in it, or a set total in each section?

[sour island]

this is just to identify which grid area might have more zombies

[worldly olive]

I now noticed that I don't fully understand this, when you say "modData", is that some sort of table to save custom values or something?

I'm still new to this world of modding 😂

And mostly new to lua

[undone heron]

Yes

[sour island]

all objects have modData- it's just a table

just be aware other people's mod may use modData

[undone heron]

getPlayer():getModData().newVariableHere

Use highly specific names for it to avoid conflict

Like I use moonSlimeVariableName to avoid any mod data conflicts

[worldly olive]

oooooh that's awesome and could have resolve many doubts I had before 😂
This opens a new world of possibilities

[sour island]

You can also pack lists into it

[undone heron]

I use it only when I have to. Atm my mod is causing issues with suprub survivors with modData

[sour island]

like moonSlimeVariableName = {1,2,3,4,5}

SS uses chunks of LetMeSpeak! - what issues are you having?

[undone heron]

Dunno how to fix atm so I just separated that section out of the main mod.

[worldly olive]

My main problem for many things was that I didn't know how to save variable values that didn't reset once the lua is re-loaded but that helps a lot now

[sour island]

it's not limited to players either

I use the world's GameTime object's ModData to store stuff

[undone heron]

In the organized evolution section of my trait mod, I track item movement in the players mod data so it's saved between quitting and starting.

I call this data when the player's weight is changed and increases it. This throws an error if suprub is installed

[sour island]

item movement?

[undone heron]

Yeah if they moved something in or out of their inventory (inventory weight changes)

[sour island]

ah

The stacktrace should be pretty obvious?

I honestly don't think many mods use modData

you could be unintentionally wiping it

then SS is scrambling to use it

[undone heron]

Hmmmm

I will need to get home to get the exact error again

[worldly olive]

How do you store a new variable into the modData so you can use it later?

[undone heron]

This is the error I have atm from the mod page

function: organizedEvolution -- file: OrganizedEvolutionTrait.lua line # 38

ERROR: General , 1618473362203> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown java.lang.RuntimeException: __add not defined for operands in organizedEvolution at KahluaUtil.fail line:82.
ERROR: General , 1618473362204> DebugLogStream.printException> Stack trace:
java.lang.RuntimeException: __add not defined for operands in organizedEvolution

[sour island]

what is line 38

[sour island]

modData is read as {} (a table), so you can fit things in it

you can do what slime does and use this format:
getPlayer():getModData().newVariableHere = value

or getPlayer():getModData()["newVariableHere"] = value

they're both the same

[undone heron]

I can get you that in 15 to 20 minutes. Once I get home

[worldly olive]

The variable is created when you assign a value?

oooh

[sour island]

yeah, I wouldn't use table.insert

cause then it has no key, and it's just a hanging value

[worldly olive]

Great, will check what I can do with all this information, really valuable 😄

[undone heron]

I use a check on the player create event to see if the variable is equal to nil. If it is, then I set it to the default / base values

[sour island]

Yeah, that's what I do aswell

lua tables can be finicky at times

[undone heron]

okay I am home now

local function organizedEvolution(_player)
    -- Get the player and check for the trait
    local player = getPlayer();
    local inventory = player:getInventory():getContentsWeight();
    local modData = player:getModData();

    if modData.moonCurrentWeight == inventory then
        -- Do nothing
    else
        -- If the player's weight is different, add on to the variable total items moved
(Line 39)        modData.moonTotalItemsMoved = modData.moonTotalItemsMoved + 1;
        -- Set the stored weight variable to be equal to the new inventory variable
        modData.moonCurrentWeight = inventory;
    end
    
    -- Check to see if the player has moved roughly 10,000 items to and from his inventory. if so move on...
    if modData.moonTotalItemsMoved >= 10000 then
        -- Reset the count to 0
        modData.moonTotalItemsMoved = 0; 
        -- Check to see if the player does NOT have Organized or Disorganized
        if not player:HasTrait("Organized") and not player:HasTrait("Disorganized") then
            -- Give the player Organized
            player:getTraits():add("Organized");
        -- If the above check fails, check to see if they have Disorganized
        elseif player:HasTrait("Disorganized") then
            -- Remove Disorganized
            player:getTraits():remove("Disorganized");
        end
    end
    
--    player:Say(tostring(inventory) .. " / " .. tostring(modData.moonCurrentWeight) .. " / " .. tostring(modData.moonTotalItemsMoved), 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, UIFont.Dialogue, 30.0, "radio");
end

for some reason

 modData.moonTotalItemsMoved = modData.moonTotalItemsMoved + 1;

is breaking if it's a supurb survivor

__add ... error means you're trying to add something that can't be added iirc

could organizedEvolution be called before modData is loaded

or set to default?

[undone heron]

It happens on the player update event.

I don't think that event could happen before player create event.

[sour island]

when is your modData set

[undone heron]

Player create event

Also: this error only happens if SS is installed. If SS isn't installed,it works fine

So from what you said, it seems like it isn't making the modData when SS spawns a fake player/npc

So adding one more check to see if the value is nil should fix it, if I am understanding it

[sour island]

yeah

it might be creating the AI or some sort of template for the AI on standby

you could drop a print somewhere in there to print the player's name

I had a similiar issue with SS and conditional speech- where my character was speaking for all the AI in the world

[spiral plover]

This has probably been asked a million times, but what the heck, here goes nothing - Is there any easy way to spawn a specific vehicle in singleplayer? I'm going for an RP scenario/challenge and would like to spawn a specific vehicle. I'm not sure if I can do that via Debug mode?

[undone heron]

cheat menu mod -> right click the world -> spawn vehicle
or
debug menu -> right click the world -> spawn vehicle story -> pick any one (I like doing the replacing a tire). After the story is spawned, click the car to bring up the context menu -> vehicle scripts -> pick the car you wnat

Reminds me of the first COD zombies map w/ the plane crash. Whats your plan for the plane crash?

[willow estuary]

Just scenery.
Like the honking big truck as well.

• well, you might be able to pull a battery/headlights/gas out of the truck.

Well, the truck will be practically un-towable, and will spawn on the roads, and is big, so it'll function as a permanent driving hazard as well.

[spiral plover]

That's pretty awesome, will love to see stuff like that around

@undone heron you were making that trait where sunlight made your eyes hurt, right?

I'm looking for a way to get the light level of the tile the player is on, I think your code had something to do with that, any pointers?

[mortal widget]

Does anyone have a collection of mods that are compatible for multiplayer

(remote play)

b41

[sour island]

Most mods should be fine I would imagine

You would have to avoid mods that use getSpecificPlayer(0)

[spiral plover]

Yeah that's the only thing to be wary of

@sour island you wouldn't happen to know anything about getting a tiles "light level" would you? I've been file digging but the stuff I've found has made little sense

[sour island]

I would check IsoGridSquares' methods

light in the game in gridbased

[spiral plover]

I've been combing though em' because of that

but nothing has been super clear

I've found ColorInfo[] lightInfo

[sour island]

that's for weather I think

[spiral plover]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

it's an array of floats with 4 values for the color

I found a function called getDarkMulti()

Guess I'll see what this does

[sour island]

maybe CalcVisibility ?

it returns an int

[spiral plover]

oh? That might work.. getDarkMulti() just returned an error so that aint working

[willow estuary]

There's a mod on the workshop that disables the ability to read if the light level is too low; I'd take a peek at it.

[spiral plover]

Thankfully! Someone has already done the heavy lifting for this monstrosity

[sour island]

is the first argument the z level?

[spiral plover]

I- do not know, I think so

public int getVertLight(int i,
int playerIndex)

--[[ light in room (without windows, door is closed, no light-source)
                    01:00    13:00
with NightVision    48        99
no NightVision        35        103
]]```

thats the values the creator used

Sheesh

[sour island]

TIL there's a getsquare and getcurrentsquare

[spiral plover]

Haha might help optimize/shorten some functions

[sour island]

one return's current, the other returns square

[drifting ore]

Anybody else encountered something like this when adding custom .x models?

[spiral plover]

Oh sheesh lol

There's some terrifying monster behind you

[drifting ore]

One spooky boi

Supposed to be this

[spiral plover]

Ah thats a pretty neat little model! Makeshift bag?

[drifting ore]

Yeah, with extremely low loot I was getting tired of having to use tote bags and purses lol

Good for survivors living off in the woods

[spiral plover]

Most definitely, worth having!

[sour island]

should be able to bundle a sheet up

[spiral plover]

Right? tie it on the end of a stick, problem solved!

Speaking of issues, anyone know about why my character might be getting locked up after reloading their gun? I added player:setBeenMovingFor(0); is the only thing I added. It seems when I set it the character locks up after reloading and I have to press escape a couple times for it to finish?

[sour island]

are you on debug?

[spiral plover]

Yes

[sour island]

that's why

the reload code goofs with debug on

[spiral plover]

Oh really?! Sweet, that means it actually works then

[sour island]

if you wait long enough your character will randomly decide to finish reloading lol

[spiral plover]

LEt me give myself a bunch of ammo and see if it works properly then lol

[undone heron]

Yeah and I cheated for it. I just check if it's dayy time, the player is outside, and if there is any weather.

[spiral plover]

I was considering doing that as it gets the job done for most cases, but being a shadow assassin requires a little more work

[undone heron]

however... looking into that light code could very well help with a few traits and / or adding a more simplified version to literacy

[worldly olive]

Hey @sour island and @undone heron thank you both, today I was able to do what I wanted to do because you helped with that yesterday 😄 thank you both!

[undone heron]

[sour island]

Nice

try the getvisiblity thing, check what ints come back

[undone heron]

ye, I am as well able to make an addiction pack for my traits mod. so thanks chuck for the help!

[sour island]

np lol

[undone heron]

and was able to re-add organize to the main package

I promise this time i won't take down my mods

no houdini stuff

99% of you peeps don't know me anyway 🤦

[wise scaffold]

Hello there; i need help for fouding something on the base game... i search about the rules for taking (or consuming) an item like an pills or things like that... i already found the item itself but not the rules of what happend if i take it

[wary cipher]

media-> lua -> server -> recipecode

take a look in there

if you know the item then you know the function and you can search it in there

[wise scaffold]

am i wrong or in this particular file, i just found the cigarettes thing.. but anything about painkiller/beta block pills etc...

i cannot do thee thing i want to do with just the cigarette model thing... i manage to create items that are substitute to the vanillia painkillers and others pills like that.. and without the call of any fonction, i don't think it'll work ^^

[wary cipher]

let me take a peak

item PillsVitamins
{
FatigueChange = -2,
Weight = 0.2,
UseDelta = 0.1,
Type = Drainable,
UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
DisplayName = Vitamins,
Icon = Vitamins,
Tooltip = Tooltip_Vitamins,
StaticModel = PillBottle,
Medical = TRUE,
}

for vitamins its just fatiguechange in the item itself

quite easy

the item can be found in media -> scripts -> newitems

[wise scaffold]

yep i see that, and the same thing for antibiotics...

but for pills now 😄

[wary cipher]

item Antibiotics
{
Weight = 0.1,
Type = Food,
DisplayName = Antibiotics,
Icon = Antibiotics,
ReduceInfectionPower = 50,
CustomContextMenu = Take,
CantBeFrozen = TRUE,
Tooltip = Tooltip_Antibiotics,
Medical = TRUE,
}

pain killers?

[wise scaffold]

i mean painkillers yep

[wary cipher]

lets peak again

[wise scaffold]

(btw thank you for your time)
