[heady ember]

Hey. Do anyone know how to add "Build 41" tag to the mod, to be visible on the steam workshop page?
Tried to add it in Workshop.txt, in 'tags', but its not working. Been looking through the forum and tutorials for the answer, but still couldnt find it.
Would be great if someone could share the solution. Thanks!

[errant meteor]

@main lion Ak-74 with that sexy wood stock and grip when?

and you can not forget the Ak-74U

bakelite mags

[jovial summit]

ah the krink

[errant meteor]

Nice

[hexed anchor]

for the longest time I tried find something to differentiate the 47 from the 74, but was never able to identify something different between the guns

that is until I realized the mags are different

74 is less curved because it's a smaller cartridge

very neat

[wet dune]

@main lion can you add a musket? But it can be crafted

[errant meteor]

Ya the most tell tale sign is the mags the 47 has the banana shape lol

[errant meteor]

Any plans for under or over, wire stocks?

[main lion]

I can make them like musket and wire stock versions.. But I have to work on the pre-made models first

[drifting ore]

looks nice

cant wait for all of the new guns to be out

[drifting ore]

both the magazine and the muzzle break

i am going to be an ass with this because yeah

original AK-47 has a different receiver and muzzle break

muzzle on the 47 was flat

then the AKM with the slant muzzle break

and a different reciever aswell

then the AK-74's

and magazine round etc etc

now noone will notice this :troll:

[cedar stone]

do mods not work in mp

becuase where using the mods called fashion montage gun suicide combat text cremation eris minimap fair traits cost more traits and the minimap was not showing up and the traits mods where not showing up i actvated them and still where not working

[willow estuary]

That sounds like you're trying to use multiple b41 mods that will straight up not work in b40 mp?

[cedar stone]

some of the mods dont even have what veison to use

it does not tell you

yeah one of the mods are for bp 40 and it didnt work

[willow estuary]

I mean, anything released in the past year probably won't be for b40?
Just find a mod that a b40 mp server is using, and try that one.

But my recommendation is to

• choose ONE (1) b40 mod that is known to work in b40 mp.
• ask @ Beard in #old_techsupport on how to set up a b40 mp server with that ONE mod set up.

Once you have one mod working, then you can try having multiple mods working.

[drifting ore]

While you're here Algol, can I put in a little request?
I like your mods, most of them atleast hah, but it can be kinda hard to find some of them as they aren't in a collection and we can't see your workshop as your profile is private

I forgot to actually put the request in there, could you put your mods into a collection?

For example, i didn't even know about your carrion crows mod until I saw it in somelse's collection

[carmine cosmos]

He doesn't take requests

[drifting ore]

I don't mean like a mod request, just something so I can find and use their mods; but I guess if they don't want to shrug

[hexed anchor]

You can make a collection yourself though

but I get what you mean

also

@drifting ore https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198032164260/myworkshopfiles/?appid=108600

just go to any of his mods page

and click this bit here

marked in red

it'll show everything he has done and uploaded specifically for pz

[drifting ore]

Huh, that's a neat way to do it

I thought you could only access that page if their profile was able to be looked at

Thanks

[hexed anchor]

tbh steam doesn't make it obvious

[wet osprey]

hey, trying to mod the game again but forgot some basics

where do I need to place a self made mod to appear in the game/mods menu?

trying in steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\mods
and in Users\wind\Zomboid\mods

and neither shows the mod in game

[carmine cosmos]

Are you looking to learn how to do Lua modding?

[wet osprey]

I am not looking into any advancing modding, past year I copied a template from a simple mod (that adds like 1 recipe)
and started editing/adding to it, but unfortunedly lost my old pc so wanted to start again adding custom recipes

just saw the files and its pretty easy to understand what to change, my problem is that I dont remember where to put the mod

I googled and placed a copy of the mod in every possible "mod" folder, but neither does show the mod in the game

[wet osprey]

is there any other location I am missing?

[carmine cosmos]

No, those locations are correct

[wet osprey]

could it be because Im playing the beta?

[carmine cosmos]

Have you created the mod.info file?

[carmine cosmos]

No

[wet osprey]

yeah

[carmine cosmos]

Paste it's content here

[wet osprey]

oh, maybe its because it still has the same info in the mod.info as the other mod

nope

name=SrGrafo wip
id=Threads
description=wip
poster=poster.png

[craggy furnace]

lol you arent srgrafo

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-the-simpsons-moving-eyes-observing-keen-gif-16673553

maybe

[iron salmon]

The mod named SrGrafo wip is in its own folder inside the C:\Users\Yourusername\Zomboid\mods folder yea?
Could you post/dm a zip of it to reproduce? If it's in its own folder and the mod.info exists it should work fine.

Usually not a concern but file extensions are fully shown in explorer so it's not a case of the file actually being a mod.info.txt? That'd make it not show up even though it's in the right folder

[fallow bridge]

hey if i add a seperate folder to my diversified vests that's got the exact same script names as repair all clothes mod, would it fix the issue caused between the two

like this?

it's the exact same as the repair all clothes

so it should replace it correct?

nevermind it's working!

hell yeaaaah

[jovial summit]

Sweet!

[wet osprey]

https://i.imgur.com/wLVwhMh.gif currently its like this

added a bunch of 1111 so I know which one is working, as there are 2 locations

This mod makes you go vroem vroem with carts :p

is it possible to disable the car sound when "pushing" a cart?

[iron salmon]

Can you try removing it from steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\mods entirely, so it only exists in C:\Users\YourUsername\Zomboid\mods ?
Just tried putting one in the steam install folder as well and I'd not have it show up when putting a mod there, even though it did exist in the userfolder.

[fast condor]

Anyone ever tried to make a mod to save your progress? When trying to do a risky thing and die to load before that! Or you must do a copy of a save file?? Sometimes is a shame when you lose a good character that you made!

Hope you guys are loving the ZuperCarts guys! There's more coming from me, iBrRus and his team for some realistic mods that could enhance our Zomboid Experience!

[drifting ore]

Hello, im new to modding pz and was wondering why no one made cars that can be upgraded to be more resistant to running zombies over, is it possible to be made?

[radiant ginkgo]

@drifting ore Because it is difficult in terms of code and lua, devs plan to add it later. It will be cool if someone does before devs do it 🙂

[carmine cosmos]

Yes it is very possible, do you have any specifics in mind?
If you do you can send me a DM and we can see what we can do

[crisp jay]

anyone knows how to fix trouble using mods?

i mean NecroForge 2.7b

[oak cipher]

Just wanna make it clear it out! The mod was made by @elfin bobcat and his team! Their team is AMAZING! I'm just the Sponsor and the one who pushed the idea 😄

[crisp jay]

im trying to enable it but nothing happens

[drifting ore]

@carmine cosmos i dont know how to code or even mod i just did my first mod like yesterday so i don’t think i could be of any help, but i was thinking of doing it as a learning project.

but the idea was to make the player be able to modify vehicles and turn them into apocalyptic cars in a madmax style

[craggy furnace]

@drifting ore isnt possible in the way you want it right now

only way to achieve it is via masks right now

[spiral plover]

I'm looking to make custom radio broadcasts, and I'm looking at these files from other mods and they look like they were made in-game or something

Anyone know if it has to be done by hand in the file or is there a tool for it?

[late hound]

Yeah you could talk to @abstract raptor on how Survivor Radio was made. It was made with WordZed.

It has its own UI that you can input the data and details.

[spiral plover]

Aah, gotcha! That's what I needed to know about, much appreciated

[late hound]

👍

[abstract raptor]

@spiral plover I use a special version of wordzed that has added functionality.

[spiral plover]

What kind of functionality? Would it be possible for me to get my hands on it?

[abstract raptor]

It adds the ability to control moodlets and effects as well as let's you duplicate line entries with a simple button click.

[spiral plover]

That would indeed be handy.. I need the player to interact with it a bit because it is going to be giving you information

There's a story I'm trying to tell as the player plays in my special insurgent challenge mode, and the radio will be other insurgent squads chatting and such

giving objective info

Also, where can I look for randomizing the frequency of the broadcast?

I know that has to be done in LUA, just curious of example scripts

[abstract raptor]

Randomizing the frequency is done in lua. I forget where I found how the emergency broadcast does it for someone else but I forget exactly where to be honest.

But that part isn't handled with wordzed.

[spiral plover]

Yeah I figured as much, I just gotta find that script, no worries

[abstract raptor]

You can however use wordzed to randomize a broadcast entirely through use of adverts.

[spiral plover]

Oh? That's a creative method

[abstract raptor]

So same broadcast frequency but varying random broadcasts.

[spiral plover]

Good to know, thanks for that pro tip

[abstract raptor]

Ya im the queen of zombie radio haha

But ill get you a link to my outdated mod tutorial that has the special version of wordzed.

[spiral plover]

Ah that would be wonderful 😄 Thanks a ton!

[abstract raptor]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQn-8dVNMYq2CIfJD1-UD-9ayi6gmRO61A0cfbOFokjEmdWTzw4HeQ4W3LAZdFiVbG45S_BmUIM5uBi/pub

Ignore the tutorial. It has some handy info but was made before the advent of the new duration code tag

Which if you want a line to have a specific duration is just ${t:x.xx} where x is the duration in seconds.

And that goes at the beginning of the line.

If you want to know how to set up music or sound for radios I can assist you with that if you'd like.

[spiral plover]

Ah that would be a huge help! I'm not far along enough to put that in yet, but when I get to that point I'll send you a ping or message

This has got me all giddy, excited to tell the insurgent story through radios. I appreciate all the help, greatly!

[abstract raptor]

No problem 😊

[weary crypt]

Is it possible to open some file or something to see what levels a character has if you can't load the save directly?

[drifting ore]

@main lion sorry to bother but

is it supposed to be an M60E3?

or actually an E2

considering the E2 was mounted in tanks

[austere zenith]

Good Morning - Had a scout around, and can't find anything, so thought best to ask - Does anyone know of a mod whereby I can either extract (for a stream overlay), or display onscreen the current life (in days & hours?). I'm aware it can be found by looking on your health stats, but want something more upfront, which will update, rather than having to update a text file, for the overlay. Hopefully that makes sense.

[carmine cosmos]

If I understood correctly you want to display the current system time in-game, correct?

[austere zenith]

Yeah, the time alive

[carmine cosmos]

You want to display how long the character has survived in-game?

[austere zenith]

Yes - I'm aware I can find that under the health screen, but want it onscreen, either as a seperate widget or as onscreen overlay text, on stream

[carmine cosmos]

That would require modding the Steam client, no idea how that is done

[austere zenith]

Wondering whether it's possible to hook it using some form of script, maybe? I don't know how though 😄

[hollow shadow]

Is that new survivor ai?

[tame mulch]

yes, trying add attack functions

[spiral plover]

getPlayer():getHoursSurvived()

You could convert that to days/months/years

The player descriptor might also have a more exact time, check the UI lua scripts.

Unless we’re talking real-time time survived

[austere zenith]

Thanks @spiral plover Very much appreciated. Now to learn about lua scripting 😬

[carmine cosmos]

Do you know Java better then Lua?

[old harbor]

someone knows the list of mods (those who add gas masks) working with toxic fog mod?

[austere zenith]

I don't know either 😄

[sour island]

You can write text on the screen with Lua.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[echo leaf]

@main lion Heya! I'm working on a patch to include the new calibers you've added to Soul Filcher's Smithing so that you'll be able to create molds and bullets from scratch.

Was wondering if it'd make more sense for you to incorporate it into your base mod or for me to release it as a separate standalone patch.

Also, would love any input you have on balancing the recipes for ammo crafting.

[errant meteor]

@echo leaf I hope I can melt down all of that unusable scrap metal I get

[echo leaf]

Well the Smithing mod already lets you do that

I just wanted to be able to create the molds+bullets for the extra ammo types that are included with Brita

@errant meteor https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2143182893 and if you use this too then you have bullets 4eva

hey sorry for the late reply, that did work! thanks

@iron salmon sorry to bother, but for the name of the items, is this a good page to get all the ids or is there a more updated place? https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Items

wait, just found the notepad file with the items

sorry Im rusty, trying to refigure it out

[iron salmon]

If you end up having a vanilla item not listed there, you can start the game in debug mode and then spawn the item, right click, edit item. That'll list the name as well.

Absolutely no authority on modding though, so dunno if there is a better way, that's just how I do it 😄

You can right click the game in Steam, Properties, and then enter "-debug" without the quotes in the launch options there for debug mode

[wet osprey]

wait, where is the categories

or the options for OnGiveXP, I dont remember the options

[iron salmon]

For OnGiveXP I think you can take a look at the recipecode.lua in ProjectZomboid\media\lua\server\

Not sure if still accurate but that was where a lot of its options were listed

[wet osprey]

thanks, tho cant find the id of the garbage bag

[iron salmon]

Categories would probably be the Crafting related ones, so the categories you see when opening the crafting menu/search

[iron salmon]

Should just be Base.Garbagebag

[wet osprey]

tried but doesnt work, I think is just Garbagebag

Might be something to do with your pz settings

Like, if you have particles or rain disabled visually etv

no idea why

this is how it turns for 1.2 seconds after i change the quality from low > medium fog

after that it turns to yellow again

it looks like it has two types, one overlapping the other

[oak cipher]

i like this

[willow estuary]

Take the vanilla pipe bomb item script, as an example, and use this:

PhysicsObject    =    Football,```
instead of

PhysicsObject = PipeBomb,```
I know "Football" seems weird, I think it's some sort of experimental test thing by the devs, but it does work as a bomb w/o producing flames.

[willow estuary]

Ah.... ....that whole "making mods is java is easier and better" thing... ....is contrary to accepted wisdom and practices.

There really aren't any mods, at least ones that people know about and use, that are written in java.

[fallow crescent]

I thought this is the QVC channel for java modding

was about to ask if anyone ever decided to try and increase the amount of max wheels through java but I guess that answers that

[grave solstice]

Ok, thanks! As I suspected. I'm trying to tweak my mod but the functionality doesn't appear to be available through lua (I took my java decompiler and looked through LuaManager.class). Working it through java is the last way I can think of to do what I want.

[willow estuary]

Small consolation in the meantime, but devs have confirmed that more than four wheels is going to be a feature in future builds?

[fallow crescent]

was more a case of me being semi bored in the meantime and was something that was discussed not to long ago. Guessing this is 42 or later

[willow estuary]

Now, having said that, look at Filibuster's b41 version of used cars for a way to "fake" having more than four wheels 😉

[fallow crescent]

as for java I guess the thing it's mainly held back by is a proper mod loader

just adds visual wheels then? was looking into the physic implications more than the visual

[willow estuary]

Well, in this case it uses two single wheels that look like double wheels to fake having four rear wheels, so it's sort of 50% visual/50% physics I guess?

[spiral plover]

Does anyone know about adding new DynamicRadio channels? @abstract raptor Would you happen to know? I've figured out standard broadcasts but I can't get my custom dynamic radio channel to work. It gives me no errors and prints out that it is saving in the log but, never displays

--required for DynamicRadio:
function InsurgentObjChannel.OnLoadRadioScripts()
    InsurgentObjChannel.Init();
    table.insert(DynamicRadio.scripts, InsurgentObjChannel);
    insObjChannel = { --channel
    name = "Secure Insurgent Frequency",
    --freq = {59700,68700}, -- number for static frequency, or table for random: {min, max};
    freq = 59600,
    category = "Military", --Emergency type
    uuid = "INSR-59755", --must remain fixed.
    register = true, --if existing channel dont register, existing channel must match the uuid found in radiodata.xml
    airCounterMultiplier = 1.0, --optional, change time text displays.
    }
    table.insert(DynamicRadio.channels, insObjChannel);
end```

I tried that

I also have

InsurgentObjChannel = {};
InsurgentObjChannel.channelUUID = "INSR-59755"; --required for DynamicRadio
InsurgentObjChannel.debugTestAll = false;```

[willow estuary]

I made one that worked once @spiral plover . I don't recall exactly how, but I think it involved cloning and modifying both the dynamic radio and the weather radio files to get a working station.

[spiral plover]

That would work but, I was hoping that I'd be able to just add my frequency to the channels list from another file.. sadly apparently no

Do you have an example?

[willow estuary]

I just looked, it it was literally a case of copying those two files and changing the variable/function names to make a new, parallel versions of both?
It's literally over a year old too, so probably full of all sorts of fuckups.

But it looks like it works by creating a whole new custom radio code thingy instead of piggybakcing off of the existing dynamic radio stuff?

From peeping things this looks like the important deet

Events.OnLoadRadioScripts.Add(TestRadio.OnLoadRadioScripts);
Events.EveryHours.Add(DynamicRadio.OnEveryHour);

TestRadio being my modified clone of DynamicRadio

[spiral plover]

Ah I see, alright

Hopefully doing that doesn't cause conflicts, but I suppose it shouldn;t

[willow estuary]

Okay, so it looks like you could piggyback off of dynamic radio with a new channel, but it would only broadcast on the hourly trigger that the EBS uses?

So if you want something that does something other than hourly broadcasts, making a new dynamic radio clone instead of piggybacking might be preferable.

[spiral plover]

Yeah, looks like that is what I will do

[craggy furnace]

ime its best to overwrite it

i notice a lot of mods (like blair said) piggyback and that doesnt bide well with compatibility for other mods

[spiral plover]

Yeah, compatibility is very important to me so, doing what I can

[nimble spoke]

in cases like this my approach is to overwrite it in a way that prmotes compatibility if other mods adopt the new version

[wet osprey]

hey Im trying to make a mod for a simple makeshift Glue

the ideal would be to have a pot of water + sugar + flour, probably make a new item by combining those, and turns into another new item after cooking it
however Im far capable of doing something like that

does anyone have seen a mod that is a bit similar so I can copy and modify it?

[spiral plover]

Gotta say, it's pretty cool to see SrGrafo out here takin' up modding. Regarding the glue recipe, there are a lot of mods that add stuff like that. I'd take a look at some food mods, or combination mods. Really any item mods that has crafting recipes should show how its done.

[wet osprey]

oh I like the game quite a lot

One scenario you are an insurgent on a mission to retrieve samples/info in the facility

You get to choose a loadout of weapons and such, but the catch is you are not immune to the zombies

so if you or another player is infected, or near a zombie, without a proper mask/hazmat suit, then you can get infected

Could someone help me get a different viewpoint of what's wrong with my script for forage? I am stuck on this bug for 2 days

I've even looked at other forage mods in b41 to see if I was doing something wrong but couldn't find what it was

require "Farming/ScavengeDefinition";

local ForMateHerb = {};
ForMateHerb.type = "MateHerb";
ForMateHerb.minCount = 1;
ForMateHerb.maxCount = 3;
ForMateHerb.skill = 2;

table.insert(scavenges.plants, ForMateHerb);

[spiral plover]

Huh.. that is an odd one

I don't see anything in that code that would be the issue

must be elsewhere

[marble folio]

really odd
The only other one that interacts with this code is the Item one (that its working, I can eat the item normally)
and his icon

other than the game code itself, ScavangeDefinition

[willow estuary]

See if the code works with a vanilla item first and take it from there.

[marble folio]

thankss
A vanila item spawned normally, them I went and compared some item scripts and HerbalistType on the Item txt was causing this bug
I simply deleted it and and all good

[willow estuary]

👍

[spiral plover]

@sour island or @willow estuary Would you guys happen to have any idea on how I could get a dynamic radio channel frequency? I know it is probably pretty simple but not sure how to go about it.

[sour island]

Could you be more descriptive, I don't get what you are asking for exactly

[spiral plover]

Sure thing

The Emergency broadcasting radio station's frequency is randomized every game

I have made a similiar station that works, however for a script elsewhere (A tool tip at the beginning of the game) I need to get that random frequency that the station was assigned

if it was in the same script I could just grab it from _scriptManager, but I have no idea what the _scriptManager is actually referring to

_scriptManager:getRadioChannel(v.uuid);

[sour island]

ISWeatherChannel.lua has this line

[spiral plover]

That is the ID assigned to the stations, that is what the v.uuid is

[willow estuary]

@spiral plover try using a single number instead of range in your equivalent of this

TestRadio = {};
TestRadio.valid = true;
TestRadio.scripts = {};
TestRadio.channels = {
    { --channel
        name = "TEST",
        freq = {88000,108000}, -- number for static frequency, or table for random: {min, max};
        category = "Radio", --Emergency type
        uuid = "TEST-111984", --must remain fixed.
        register = true, --if existing channel dont register, existing channel must match the uuid found in radiodata.xml
        airCounterMultiplier = 1.0, --optional, change time text displays.
    }
};
TestRadio.cache = {};```

[sour island]

does this not get you the freq in game?

[willow estuary]

This part

 freq = {88000,108000},

[spiral plover]

Yeah, I currently am for testing and it works

I want to make it random though..

[sour island]

is it not already random?

[spiral plover]

It does in the initialization script, but not elsewhere

[willow estuary]

Ah, okay, yeah, you just need to pull the frequency somehow. Probably just figuring out the variable name.

[spiral plover]

It is properly randomized if I do it so, but I have no idea how to access it in a different, unrelated script

[willow estuary]

Okay, using my example
TestRadio.channels.freq
should be the variable you want to retrieve; but your version of that variable obv.

[spiral plover]

Ah you're right, it looks like the frequency gets set in init so it should work

v.freq = radio:getRandomFrequency(v.freq[1], v.freq[2]);

I just need to get v.freq once it has been assigned, which I do have access to

[willow estuary]

You could also assign it to a global variable when it's first generated.

[spiral plover]

FacilityDynamicRadio is what it is a part of, so it is a global variable

[willow estuary]

But better to just use the table to retrieve it.

[spiral plover]

FacilityDynamicRadio.channels[0].freq should get me it

[willow estuary]

Yeah, just play around with variations of that and you should figure it out?

[spiral plover]

I'll give that a shot, I appreciate all the help

[willow estuary]

👍 🤪

[karmic prawn]

Hey I have a request / suggestions for a modder with a kind heart, I'm a gamer with colorblindness and the red / green combination for aiming is really really hard to differentiate . If someone knows how to tweak the colors to something more disctinct like purple and yellow you would make the zomboid experience much better for colorblind people, thanks ! :)

[willow estuary]

I'd suggest proposing that on the indie stone suggestions channel as they do read them + take accessibility seriously?
I don't know if those color values are accessible modding wise with lua, but I'd guess not.

[karmic prawn]

@willow estuary thanks for the suggestion will definitely do that

[supple briar]

thought of a really cool mod idea and debating if i should learn lua to make it happen.
the idea is UN troops zombies that spawn after a few months

but i dont know if you can make cars only spawn after X amount of time

this is mainly a excuse to model foreign army vehicles

[abstract raptor]

Sorry I wasn't around person who pinged me,

I've never messed around with the dynamic stations myself, but it seems like you have all the info you need here without me

😄

[spiral plover]

There is a lot of potential there, and actually surprisingly easy! I highly recommend looking into it if you ever want to add more spice.

[abstract raptor]

To be honest, not sure if I want to come back to solely doing mods now that I've discovered how much more fun it is to design my own game, even if it is sort of a generic rpg

I'm likely handing off Survivor Radio itself to my writing partner

Though I go back and forth on it, cuz I love zomboid and it'll always have a special place in my heart

Hell, even the character Erin Fontaine was a way for me to express who I truly was before I knew about that -- there's a lot to be said of Zomboid's story telling power, but I just like got to a point where I was relying on releasing mods to receive some form of validation that never seemed to satisfy me. I think that was kind of toxic of me, or at least problematic in so far as my mental health. And what didn't help was the constant belligerence of some people in those workshop threads -- Like? I made a bunch of pride flags and apparently my own existance is too political and some other folks think that I deserve to die cuz of it and they said stuff like "Can I burn these flags?" and it's just like. Guys, I make these mods for fun: It's a hobby. I don't get paid for it and I don't really need all this bullshit right now.

I am a little sad that my team sort of fell apart and the work for the reboot of SR isn't likely to happen anytime soon; So many loose ends left untended it irks me. I felt we had a really amazing story and it was all through collaboration (( Well I think that I did a lot of heavy lifting 🦾 But anywhoozle I'm rambling now. What I'm tryna say is that, -- Not really making mods for PZ anymore and I'm not sure if I'll get back into it.

[proud flax]

the steam workshop comments are a quite a unfun place

[errant meteor]

you think lol

[supple briar]

thats how all internet comment sections are

go in any comment sections with more than 5 comments and it will eventually devolve into shit

[spiral plover]

I was not expecting such a deep response! Honestly astonished! I have a similar feeling to Unturned because I’ve worked and modded that for years, it gets exhausting. Sounds like it was a great relief and way to express yourself until all the toxicity got involved, but I suppose that’s how it goes. Validation is always a fleeting sense of gratification, ah well. Anyways, wether making PZ mods or not, go do work that makes you happy and proud. Best of luck with whatever endeavor you take on, one stranger to the next, I’m sure you’ll blow it away haha

[abstract raptor]

🙂

I mean, I may come back to it. I've taken breaks from this game before, but it's a tenacious force

hahaha

At any rate, still gotta love this community and the devs and of course the game itself. Lot of fond memories and met a lot of good people.

not to mention how amazingly talented and clever all of you other modders and mappers are

[late hound]

Pills here!

[craggy furnace]

@late hound ever thought of adding tallahassee?

[oak cipher]

That's actuallly cool

[late hound]

Whats that?

[spiral plover]

@late hound ever thought of adding your mom?

[oak cipher]

Zombie land

[spiral plover]

sorry, had to

[oak cipher]

And he could have a twinkie in his inventory

[craggy furnace]

he went the entire movie missing the one behind him

[late hound]

ah yes, this guy, can't remember all my zombie characters

[craggy furnace]

[grizzled grove]

yep, gotta take care of yourself! I've left other modding communities before for similar reasons, moreso watching my friends take the brunt of some really nasty stuff than for myself, but it just solidified who i didn't want to be around.

[unique basalt]

All the more reason to let those pride colors fly, Fondue.

[sour island]

Idk if it means much, but "X is political" "get X out of my Y" is straight up gas lighting. Don't let (ironically) sensitive people make you feel bad, especially about yourself or what you enjoy doing. Stay strong.

[tame mulch]

Need help with NPC mod - where can find useful reference for AI system? Make it like sims, rimworld or other game?

[sour island]

Like documentation? You could google "behavior trees". Also, rimworld has a dev blog.

[tame mulch]

no, examples

I use better version of behaviour trees

[carmine cosmos]

Everything you needs is in the decompiled code

I don't think there is any documentation on this though

[tame mulch]

I use decompiled code) I mean, need ideas, example games where used interesting AI system

[carmine cosmos]

Rimworld and Sims should give you plenty of material

I guess if you are feeling adventurous you can take a look at Alien Isolation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7d5lF6U0eQ

This is the pinnacle of AI development

It is similar to Rimworld in the way that it also uses a secondary AI to assist

[sour island]

I think dwrf fortress is open source (?) They have pretty good AI for people living, surviving, building, and even entertaining.

Nvm, DF guy thinks it will "devalue" his work 🤷‍♂️

[iron salmon]

Think they did say it'd go open source if he passes

But since gods rarely die, fat chance

[sour island]

Yeah just read up on it- it's not to be release if he's murdered though 🥺

[iron salmon]

lol

Can understand him not wanting to open source it though considering they live off the donations

[sour island]

Yeah but an open source license wouldn't really harm him in that regard?

[iron salmon]

High potential it could

especially with them taking on a publisher helping with the Steam release and all.

The forks it could spawn etc are quite a threat to the donation stream, let alone the probable intention of selling it on Steam

Probably equally important is their artistic vision and maintaining it, I can image.
Main reason they gave whenever the topic of open sourcing it came up was basically that.

Think people are a bit rose-tinted when it comes to them imagining open sourcing everything.

It'll be open source at some point, so at least there's that 😄

[sour island]

I'll defer to your knowledge - but I've seen a few games adopt it to great success- Barotrauma for example.

Same deal with SCP (same dev)

[iron salmon]

Ah, I thought Baurotrama just had the source code in github and wasn't actually open source.
Surprised that it worked out for them. Usually it's safe to assume you'd give away your executive and artistic control when going open source.

[sour island]

I think there's a particular license that would protect using it outside of their control. Not sure it would apply in personal use but definitely commercial.

[harsh sapphire]

Just a small voice chiming in but I really love and thankful for your pride flag mod. It sucks that lgbt-related content will often get shit on due to humans capability of being assholes (and some bad apples in lgbt community)

But yeah, ever since I saw your flag mod, it has been used extensively in all of my characters hah

[lavish adder]

Hey uh... whoever owns https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2463499011&searchtext=grapeseed, would it be okay to add a lootable map so we know where we are?

[upper junco]

@dusty vortex ^^^

[dusty vortex]

@lavish adder yeah, you have my permission man

[lavish adder]

uh... I dunno how to mod though

I'm just asking if you could add a lootable map

[frail wadi]

does anybody know how to get to "lab complex alpha" from that one planetalgol mod?

[fallow bridge]

it's just the rosewood facility

but the elevator works

[frail wadi]

oh ok

i have no idea how to get there though

._.

[spiral plover]

@frail wadi

[fallow bridge]

^

[jovial summit]

^

[frail wadi]

thanks

:p

[tardy robin]

Hang on, so if I'm looking at this correctly, I could use LUA to teleport the player following interaction with an object?

Like this object, for example.

[fallow bridge]

yes

@tardy robin

you can even teleport the player just by having them move somewhere

this is how the basements/underground will most likely work

whenever that comes around

[tardy robin]

So a Tardis with an interior is actually possible. Well that's handy to know.

[fallow bridge]

i'd suppose it is?

it'd be kinda cool

[spiral plover]

Ah man, I'm trying to figure out how to use the right click context menus and I'm confused as fuck

I want the player to right click on a radio, then I need to get the radio device and see if the channel is the correct channel, and if so, add an option to call in their objective if it is completed

I'm just so confused on how to even go about this, I've been looking at the radio things and the Lab Alpha scripts because they do similiar things with the elevators but, none of it is making sense to me

[abstract raptor]

❤️

[fallow bridge]

we here all have you're back Aza

[jovial summit]

Yep!

We all do!

luv u

[abstract raptor]

I wish the um, workshop worked in a way where like I could let contributors upload updates

But apparently I have to do it

[fallow bridge]

you could give you're mod files to someone else?

and i'm pretty sure it's done that way to prevent someone for ruining a mod

[abstract raptor]

yea true

I dunno, too bad I can't split myself into multiple people I'd be able to get so much done ha

[old harbor]

i'm still trying to find out how to solve this

anyone have an idea?

[drifting ore]

Mod conflict?

Was the mod designed for b41?

[old harbor]

yeah it was

the author has not enabled comments and I think he is here on this server

I don't have any mods that mess with fog other than this

[drifting ore]

Do you have relentless weather installed?

Fog intensity?

[sour island]

You could open a github for your projects and automate upload to steam - but you'd have to trust people doing the maintenance as it goes through your account at the end.

Not sure why steam does that honestly - probably to do with the fact the workshop items are tied to user profiles rather than the game

🤷‍♂️

[old harbor]

nope

[old harbor]

and nope

But the mod seens to run over the default fog, like there's two fogs enabled

[drifting ore]

Hmm

[mortal widget]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2434222242 anyone have thoughts on my collection? Like should I remove any of these mods? any recommended ones i should add?

[willow estuary]

@old harbor okay, being specific as possible, what is the nature of your issue with Toxic Fog?

[old harbor]

My fog turns in a bright yellow when i use the new fog option in the configs

using legacy fog it turns green again

[willow estuary]

Yeah, it used to be more green, and when the new fog system was implemented toxic fog using the new fog was made more yellow because the new fog looked better that way. I left the legacy color alone.

That's it.

[old harbor]

So its not a bug?

Damn, sorry for disturbing you

[willow estuary]

Nah, it was just that the new fog system looked like shit with the old super green colors so it was changed.

[drifting ore]

@mortal widget
I'm putting together a collection myself in a while, I'll send it over to you when I'm done with it. You might find a mod you like in there

[sour island]

If you're not running in -debug, then go to OS/Users/<username>/Zomboid/ and look inside the console.txt

this will tell you what's going on

also, it resets every game start, so it's best to read those after errors occur

@atomic storm

[atomic storm]

Found the error.

This has to be the problem as it's the only error that shows up in the log ~25000 times.

[errant meteor]

lol

[sour island]

it's called trashsquare- so I assume it's trying to use an IsoGridSquare

a common issue is trying to use an unloaded square

[atomic storm]

So it's an issue with the mod and not an incompatibility?

[ruby urchin]

Is about a mod?

[plucky nova]

hello! i was wondering if there was any way to disable the "stunlock" animation when getting hit by a zombie?

didnt notice anyone having this mod yet

[proud flax]

drug addiction trait

[jovial summit]

Already a thing

Moonslime's added addiction traits

[ruby urchin]

I finish with some trousers I'm making and I try with this

[sour island]

There should be a sanity check for square to be true - if it's in an unloaded chunk it doesn't exist to the game.

[willow estuary]

function trashSquare(square)
    if not square then return end```

[sour island]

that's good

is getVehicleZoneAt vanilla? I can't seem to find it

that would be the only possible culprit

[atomic storm]

So I assume I just can't use that mod, as there seems to be nothing I can do to fix it myself.

[sour island]

it appears it's been updated

[wet osprey]

anyone knows the id of the trowel? I cant find it

oh its "handshovel" nvm

[oak cipher]

Was wondering if there's more modders out there open for some sponsored/commissioned project mods! I got some mod ideas would like to share to the PZ Community! If youre upp for it! Feel free to send me a DM 😄

[ruby urchin]

For some reason, I can't position it freely in UV map, someone know why?

If I put it in different place, I have this result

[low yarrow]

As far as i know you have to keep the UV layout of trousers and pullovers etc. in the same layout as the character to make sure the overlays and masks work right.
The best way you can achieve that is to take the character mesh and displace the body faces you want to use for your clothes and then never touch the uv again but for special parts which you then can squeeze in between.

Yes i know, its a pain.
I put a clothing mod on ice for that reason 😄
If i would have knew it before i started it would have been not such a problem tho.

As you can see in PZ everything has this layout

Even if the full body suite has a mesh

Made a mask ID thing in case you need it

[ruby urchin]

thx! It's good to hear that it's not because I'm noob lmao, just something inevitable

[mortal widget]

guys guys

i think we've progressed enough

sex mod

boom

[drifting ore]

hello, im new here but ive been playing zomboid for a while. I was wondering if there is a guide that teaches how to write a simple mod script.

The idea i have in mind is making your character able to lock windows from the inside, just like a door. Reason being is i would like to play with "use doors" options in the zombie Setting.

[willow estuary]

I probably sound like a broken record here with this, but that isn't what I'd consider a "simple" mod script for someone new to modding PZ?

Anyways this pinned modding guide by Fenris is the current go-to for starting off modding: https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide

[drifting ore]

thank you\

[willow estuary]

👍

Actually, assuming that you can handle using a Java decompiler, it looks like the functions that you'd need to pull this off are located in [zomboid installation directory]/zombie/iso/objects/IsoWindow.class. There's some functions in there to both evaluate whether a window is locked, and to set whether it's locked or not. Whether zombies are affected by windows being locked or not is another matter.

 public boolean isLocked() {
    return this.Locked;
  }```
```java
  public void setIsLocked(boolean paramBoolean) {
    this.Locked = paramBoolean;
  }```
* no guarantees that these functions actually work, as there is a fair amount of legacy and/or placeholder code in PZ that doesn't actually do anything.

[drifting ore]

right, im assuming im gonna have a write a zombie behavior setting as well stopping them from unlocking the window on their own. Right now they can climb through because we cant lock them, they just open the window and poof theyre in

[craggy furnace]

there is a fair amount of legacy and/or placeholder code in PZ that doesn't actually do anything.

[willow estuary]

Well, I would try just locking the windows and see if that works?

One issue is that pretty much all zombie behaviour is handled Java-side, so that isn't practical to mod.

Also, this might work vs zombies is the above doesn't

  public void setPermaLocked(Boolean paramBoolean) {
    this.PermaLocked = paramBoolean.booleanValue();
  }
  
  public boolean isPermaLocked() {
    return this.PermaLocked;
  }```

[autumn sierra]

we need the dipper hat in-game lmao

to be honest it surprises me this isnt a mod yet

[drifting ore]

Would be really easy to do

Honestly, you could probably learn how to do it yourself in a day

[spiral plover]

Hmmm, I could use a hand with added context options

if radioObj and radioSignal == "radio" then -- and (power or devicePower) then
        local radioDevice = radioObj:getDeviceData();
        if radioDevice:getIsTurnedOn() and radioDevice:getPower() > 0 and radioDevice:getChannel() == FacilityDynamicRadio.channels[1].freq then
            context:addOption("Contact Insurgent Command", radioObj, UseInsurgentRadioReport(radioObj, playerObj), playerObj)
        end
    end```

that is adding the option, and it executes

but the player doesn't have to press the button, it just executes as soon as you right click

function UseInsurgentRadioReport(radioObj, playerObj)
    if not radioObj:getSquare() then
        return
    end
    --print("CONTEXT WORKED")
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(UseInsurgentRadioAction:new(playerObj, radioObj, 100))
end```

Oh wow that was easy

in my context:addOption("Contact Insurgent Command", radioObj, UseInsurgentRadioReport(radioObj, playerObj), playerObj), my UseInsurgentRadioReport didn't need the added parameters on it

[errant meteor]

Any modder out there interested in making a quick buck, I would like to commission jerry cans, and military containers that have different colors and sizes.

No one is up for it doe, big sad

[spiral plover]

Well, if anyone can help, I am having an issue only after I load a game. My radio replying works perfectly until I exit and reload it

local insObjIndex = 0;
local insObjs = {};

local obj_Start = {
    radioResponse = "InsurgentObj_Reply_0",
    requirements = function(player)
        return true;
    end,
}
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);
table.insert(insObjs,obj_Start);

function FacilityInsurgentObjs.OnNewGame()

    local gt = getGameTime();
    local modData = gt:getModData();

    modData.insurgentObjIndex = insObjIndex;
    modData.insurgentObjMaxIndex = 4;
    modData.insurgentObjs = insObjs;
end

Events.OnNewGame.Add(FacilityInsurgentObjs.OnNewGame);```

That is how my reply info is stored, and my error is appearing here in a different script:

if modData.insurgentObjs[modData.insurgentObjIndex + 1].requirements(playerObj) and modData.insurgentObjIndex < modData.insurgentObjMaxIndex then
                context:addOption("Contact Insurgent Command", radioObj, UseInsurgentRadioReport, playerObj)
            else```

I keep getting the error Object tried to call nil in ContactInsurgentCommand

so I'm assuming the .requirements isn't being loaded?

Not sure how to go about this

@willow estuary would you happen to know anything about this topic?

Just tested, can confirm it is the .requirements that is not being saved properly

[willow estuary]

@spiral plover ah not offhand, but I'm just a dumb stoner that keeps playing with lego pieces until something fits?

My suggestion is to have a statement like print(tostring(requirements)) in teh code to evaluate what is happening?

[spiral plover]

Haha I getcha, I appreciate it regardless. I'll keep poking at it and give that a shot

[willow estuary]

Oh! Game Time modData, in my experience, isn't persistent between saves/sessions @spiral plover

[spiral plover]

Aaahh, that would make sense

Any suggestion on what modData to store it on then?

it is supposed to be server side not player side

[sour island]

It is, I've been using it extensively

[spiral plover]

Oh? Hmm

[sour island]

You can't instance Lua classes inside of it though

But that might be true for any modData

[spiral plover]

Hm, so I should instantiate this class globally outside of it, and then just reference it?

[sour island]

No it can't save references to Lua pseudo classes

[spiral plover]

I tried doing this:

function FacilityInsurgentObjs.OnNewGame()

and that didn't work

[sour island]

I assume the saving process was designed to not save it

[spiral plover]

Makes sense

so I should just make it a global function then

[sour island]

You can save tables (keys and values)

And those values can be tables

[spiral plover]

so it should work if requirements is a reference to a function, and not a function itself, yes?

[sour island]

It has to be strings, numbers, etc

[spiral plover]

Aaah, okay

[sour island]

Idk if there's a term for this but we could call it simple tables

[spiral plover]

makes sense, so I'll just have to make a separate function like blair was suggesting as well, and that gets called based on the index

[sour island]

What are you trying to save?

[spiral plover]

I was just trying to be efficient and save the objectives in a list with specific functions for each, but it isn't needed

Can I reference a global variable from another script using FacilityInsurgentObjectives.insObjs?

the start being the file name then the second being the table

[sour island]

If the script is loaded first

Just so you know though everything in Lua is tables

You can store the function name as a string

Then run it

[spiral plover]

Oh? How would I run it as a string?

[sour island]

So if you have a global object that the functions are under

It should be accessible by doing globalObject["function"]

Or something like that, I'm not on my computer atm

[raw violet]

how do i rip player model from the game? tried ninja ripper, no success

[spiral plover]

Aaah, okay, that makes sense, I'll give that a try

[errant meteor]

I am thinking about making models in blender how difficult is the leaning curve? I am coming from Roblox studio where I have made a lot of models

And some autocad exp

[raw violet]

the ui in latest blender versions is pretty user friendly, not like before where almost 70% of functional was hidden in hotkeys

without any signs of them existing in ui

[errant meteor]

Kinda the same with Autocad lol, there are a lot of hidden commands

[pseudo lake]

Don't forget about texturing might need some Image manipulation skillz

[errant meteor]

Well Hopefully if I get the model building down, I can find people who would be willing to code it

[errant meteor]

Hopefully there is coloring in blender, I am not doing anything yet that needs kek textures

[raw violet]

hard surface modelling is comprehensive enough. altho depends on the complexity of what you're going to make. modificators in blender can make life a lot easier if you know them and what they do.
i'd prolly suggest you to visit blender guru channel, dude got a few tutorial playlists, he explains things really well

[errant meteor]

will do

[raw violet]

there is texturing. altho it wont match with substance painter

[pseudo lake]

You can paint it ya

[raw violet]

i was able to paint pretty photoreal skin in blender

[errant meteor]

Launching up Blender and looking at the layout, it looks very similar to the architecture software I have used, guess those few semesters did not go to waste lol

[raw violet]

btw i dunno what happened over past half a year, but blender stopped rendering stuff in eevee

[errant meteor]

What is eevee?

[raw violet]

blender got 2 rendering engines. eevee and cycles. latter is slow load-heavy path-tracing, eevee is kinda like game engine, real time fast rendering, but a lil less quality with lighting and transparent objects

[errant meteor]

Ohhh, I am pretty sure my computer can handle it my GPU had rendered small buildings I made with textures and fully traced in minutes.

[raw violet]

eevee is still more comfortable for previewing, no matter the machine. and its even more important for me, as my pc is a lil too old to support cycles rendering on gpu. works on cpu instead

which is even slowe

[errant meteor]

This might sound like a dumb question but how do I get a size reference for PZ, is there a model I can import that will give me a good idea how to size my models?

[raw violet]

a lil too pale prolly, i was experimenting with masks

[errant meteor]

So this is basically the size of a head in pz?

[raw violet]

1-2meters? no. i just showed where you scale it

in case you missed, i was asking here how do i export player model from the game😄

[errant meteor]

Oh shit I am sorry lol

[sour island]

local filter = ConditionalSpeech_Filter[FilterType]
local filter_results = filter(text, intensity)

function ConditionalSpeech_Filter.BlurtOut(text, intensity)

@spiral plover yeah, this is what I do with cnd speech, FilterType being a string

[spiral plover]

THat makes a lot of sense, thanks a lot

[spiral plover]

Adding custom items to secure now

but I can also do location security and such, which I plan to do

[pseudo lake]

Would be cool if you could do some remote doors or something for the facility

in the security rooms or something, that you need to interact with to unlock a specific door or w/e with a keycard or something

[spiral plover]

I plan to eventually, but not yet

[drifting ore]

Those items give me TLOU vibes ahahah nice work spyjack!

[spiral plover]

Thank you 😄

New bandage models to be placed on zombies

You will be able to find Z's with bandages attached to them

[jovial summit]

is that the fucking

tf2 gibbous???

[late hound]

Yep!

[jovial summit]

Hell yeah

[errant meteor]

@raw violet Turns out I can import my models in roblox, I can make anything super fast now, with roblox its super easy to do textures and colors. For example this is one of my very early M2 browning turret design.

[raw violet]

There's also plenty of community addons that allow you to import from more specific programs. Like MakeHuman or ninja ripper

[errant meteor]

Dose the size matter at all? or can it be fixed on the fly when putting it into zomboid

[jovial summit]

Fuck that stream went a lot longer than I thought

[dull garnet]

Hey @willow estuary Thank you for your awesome attention to detail mods I can't play PZ without them. I've discovered that your "Siphoning requires a Hose" mod disables the radial menu option to refuel gas tanker trailers from iBrRus's mod "AutoStar Trailers"

There should be a left for dead mod

I meant left 4 dead

Hmm is there a jimmy gibs jr. Stock car mod?

[willow estuary]

Yeah there might be compatibility issues but I can't look into it atm, sorry.
Not all mods are going to work with all other mods etc.

[dull garnet]

All good mate 👍

Guys check this guy out! We got a collab project with @hollow shadow !! More projects to come!!

[errant meteor]

Looks great, dose it provide any benefits?

[main lion]

just for the visual now

[steady herald]

is there a mod or something where i can have my viewers spawn zombies and stuff through twitch in game?

[wet dune]

no I don't think so, although that's a great idea.

[steady herald]

i think i saw a forum where it said pz had rcon?

which i think is the integration thing minecraft has or uses

[carmine cosmos]

No, but that would be an interesting project

[errant meteor]

Spawn in airdrops lol

[carmine cosmos]

Let me know if you are interesting in seeing this mod developed

Shouldn't be too difficult to implement

[errant meteor]

Anyone know if its possible to get the nvida overlay working in PZ, its very useful for screenshots and recording vids.

[carmine cosmos]

Yea just harass the hell out of the streamer by yelling on radios, spawning the CHOPAA, moving hordes towards him and other mischievous stuff 🤣

There is so much potential with this kind of mod, I think I might work on it

If there are any streamers here who would be interested in this let me know

[errant meteor]

You could do something with sharks chad helicopter mod

[carmine cosmos]

I will be working on my own helicopter mod implementation with time

It's unlikely anyone is interested in collaborating on my mods since they will be written in Java

[steady herald]

oh hell yes i would

if it could work with channel points thats better

cause id have it on in every pz stream i do

[carmine cosmos]

Sure, we would just need to take a look at Twitch API

[errant meteor]

I hope it dose something different to sharks mod, his is all about them hunting you down, maybe you could do something on the other side of that coin

[jovial summit]

[sour island]

there's a progression of different behaviors

[craggy furnace]

you are also warned

there is nothing abrupt

[sour island]

air drops are also on the table- overall the heli experience aimed for is chaotic neutral instead of just punishing like the vanilla experience

[craggy furnace]

we just dont want wildly conflicting messages of what it is

at this point, you can think of it as randy random from rimworld

[agile swallow]

Hey guys, does anyone know how to import a .x file into blender 2.9? I'm trying to scale my weapon model to match that of the handgun in the game but I have no idea what to do.

[late hound]

I import a .X model into Fragmotion then export it as an obj file, and import into blender from there

[agile swallow]

How about exporting a .x? Can you use this fragmotion for that too?

[late hound]

yes

[agile swallow]

Cool, I'll check it out thanks.

[spiral plover]

super survivor raiders be like:

[spiral plover]

Lol they must be Jesus or Moses, walking on water or parting the Red Sea

[drifting ore]

Haha m113 go crush

[hollow shadow]

im glad i wasnt further in. I had no idea they could shot trough those walls. And i didnt even see them as i was looking arround the corner lmao

[drifting ore]

Oof. I see there in the water....Shit

[drifting ore]

This is why I have raiders off.

Also, 100% fool-proof raider strat. If you got a second floor base or access to a second floor, build a small wall and door in front of the main entrance. You'll be able to lock it and they can't open it. You can jump from a window while they're breaking it and sneak up from behind, if you have any type of gun, ideally a rifle, it's game over for them.

What if i have say.....A m79 Breakaction grenade Launcher?

If you're far from your base or have an extinguisher, go for it.

If I'm not mistaken, grenades and other bombs cause small fires which can get out of control easily.

grenades do shit damage

[hollow shadow]

yall talking about the vanilla nades

[drifting ore]

im talking bout pipe bombs

threw one of those peanuts to a horde did nothing

it just a heavier molotov

[hollow shadow]

pipe bombs are vanilla nades...

If you want better craftable grenades, get scrap guns mod ;P

[wet osprey]

hey, is there a mod that makes you lose weight by moving/melee killing zombies?

[unkempt lichen]

Hello

Im searching a suppressor mod

for britas weapon pack

[mortal widget]

suppressors come with that mod mate

[drifting ore]

In-game or real life?

Jokes aside, moving and fighting to my understanding burn calories, you'll lose weight slower sitting in your base reading books.

There is no mod that increases calories burned though afaik.

[spiral plover]

Bruh.. how do I get an item's Category?!

it isn't getCategory() that returns something else, getType returns a different thing, getFullType returns the item full code name

getCat() returns if it is moveable or what not

[spiral plover]

well I figured it out, but now to figure out why my challenge maps only have one spawnpoint smh

[dull garnet]

LFAdvice, I have created an armor mod working nicely just stuck on the ZombieZoneDefinitions.lua
Zombies are spawning with the item but the zombie/corpse itself is invisible. I don't know where it could stem I am trying to spawn the item on base.sports oriented zombies

[grizzled grove]

first guess is that your uvs don't match the base body, and they're getting masked out.

i'm assuming that your armor mod includes new custom models here.

[main lion]

Gentex helmet

[craggy furnace]

guess ill throw mine away

[drifting ore]

@main lion
Small question, have you thought about adding compatibility to your helmets with harry's hair/fluffy hair/spongie's hair?

[iron moth]

This belt/carrier was sick

[iron moth]

Finally, will it be craftable with the non functioning barrel thingo

[sour island]

Is it not naturally compatible? As I understand those hair mods just change the respective hathair model for certain styles.

[drifting ore]

On some of brita's helmets, I think in particular the FAST helmet series, there's some particularly vicious clipping.
Throttlekitty's hair in particular at least entirely pokes through the helmets and military beret, and if there not clipping, complete baldness

[sour island]

Ah, I hadn't considered clipping

[main lion]

I'll check that later

[oak cipher]

Hope everyone is ready! We kept this secret but its finally out! This is one of our sponsored projects! We had fun working with @elfin bobcat and his team with this project!
We'll be posting the 'True Actions: Act 1 - Sitting' in a bit!

Credits to @elfin bobcat and his team for the mod!

[main lion]

new shooting glasses and goggles

[drifting ore]

[carmine cosmos]

Are you interested in developing this mod or are interested in others developing it?

moving and fighting to my understanding burn calories, you'll lose weight slower sitting in your base reading books.

This is true, but let me know if you are looking for a way to tweak the rate of weight loss

[hollow shadow]

Im jelly that you can make placeables

[grizzled grove]

what are y'all using to export .x animations with?

[errant meteor]

Na you should keep it, there are more then one pattern of piolet helmet used

[errant meteor]

I always wonder Brita, is there any back story to the futurist clothing? I love the design and all, would be cool if you could find it in a hidden lab or a over runned military convoy.

[main lion]

I haven't thought about that yet!

[main lion]

Gentex combat vehicle crewman's helmet

[drifting ore]

ah

so it is the E4

[main lion]

I made 2 models, but I haven't painted textures yet

[drifting ore]

models alone look nice though

so far

[main lion]

thanks!

[drifting ore]

yeye

[polar prairie]

@main lion awesome stuff! thanks. :)

[main lion]

[errant meteor]

Brita if I am not wrong you have night vision in your mod right? any plans to make them work?

[drifting ore]

I was wondering about that myself, perhaps the cat eyed trait might help with that

Nice work on the lmg there Brita

[main lion]

yep I have plans to make it work

[errant meteor]

thx

[main lion]

thanks man!

[wet osprey]

oh wanted to tweak it a bit, Im using the mod dynamic traits basically makes you gain positive/negative traits based on what you do, Ive been surviving with chips and junk food, so my character got really fat (all good, I couldnt find berries), but the thing is, it keeps getting fat even with an hour a day of excersice + constantly sprinting and killing zombies, that guy had like 900 zombies killed in a month and still getting weight constantly

would like to know how to tweak or if there is a mod that makes it killing zombies count as at least a tiny excersice, was wondering if there was a mod that did this

[drifting ore]

Gaining weight is easy, you simply eat. Loosing weight is hard

My suggestion is to simply let yourself starve a bit, don't eat when immediately hungry

[wet osprey]

true, I just wish the game would count all that killing at least at some excersice

[nimble spoke]

easy way to lose weight: gral a bowl, make salads/fruit salads fwith every fresh ingredient you find. East 1/4 as soon as you see the hungry moodle.... profit!

[sour island]

I actually think it does count swinging weapons as exercise it's just that diet seems to have a far greater impact

[sour island]

hm... I looked into it and it doesn't appear you can even burn calories

exercise gains strength and fitness, but doesn't appear to even impact weight

found it

calorie loss = weight/80 * exercisefactor * caloriesDecreaseGenderExercise * gametime

the exercise factor changes via a number of things

starts off as 1 (100%), goes upto 8 (800%) if climbing a fence

also timed actions can have a impact based on respective caloriesModifier

also looks like temp impacts calorie loss while not exercising so, normal or sleeping

I'm not going to dig into the time-actions/base-actions caloric modifiers but it looks like fencing hopping nets the largest calorie burn

@wet osprey

[drifting ore]

Good way to train nimble too

Simply hop the fence over and over again

[sour island]

nutritionists hate him

a quick ctrl+shift+f shows most timed actions have a 800% burn too

I think this still means swinging a weapon doesn't count but basically everything else does

painting is only 4 though...

alright

[drifting ore]

Shoveling up grass is quick and easy

[sour island]

there is also nothing refering to sprinting in the java

so you're better off running

I wonder if you could fire a timed action with no actual time just to trigger calorie burning during attacks

[errant meteor]

If any modded can answer this, is it currently possible to add static gun emplacements? Like a m2 browning on a tripod?

[drifting ore]

Yes, I believe I saw a mod that added something of that nature

I believe it was (under the hood) a vehicle

[errant meteor]

God knows what you modders have cooking on the oven lol

[shrewd grove]

genuinely have too much fun with your mods haha, great stuff

[oak cipher]

Anyone here knows how to make a item to an object? We’d need help on a mod 😁

[drifting ore]

Object as in furniture?

Algol recently released a craftable barrel fire mod, probably worth taking a look at the code to see how it works

@craggy furnace nice

[craggy furnace]

post it here again too

[errant meteor]

What goodies will they have?

[craggy furnace]

food, supplies, instructions

[errant meteor]

Will there be custom food? or just some cans

[craggy furnace]

could add in a conditional for adding table support for stuff like MRE mod

[errant meteor]

real shit

Will there be a military version of this, a bunch of 5.56 and 9mm never hurt anyone

[drifting ore]

I am surprised there aren't supply airdrops

In vanilla

[craggy furnace]

nope

a framework for others if they want to

[errant meteor]

cool

[proud flax]

i get why theres no vanilla airdrops

im pretty sure the military would just not give a shit about some random dude in the QZ

even less after the zombies break out

[craggy furnace]

i had that thought too

then i remember i dont need to restrain myself to the real world

and server admins being able to spawn in helicopters that drop stuff is important

[drifting ore]

I don't mean for some random dude, but for a trapped important dude?

Or a survivor a good while into the knox event

[craggy furnace]

its disaster relief

stuff like baby formula, blankets, etc

the bare essentials

[jovial summit]

flares...?

[craggy furnace]

sometimes they do indeed drop supplies into areas for people to grab

flares are to announce it

especially at night

[hollow shadow]

not to be rude but i would add more detail, especialy at the top lid :v

otherwise looks nice

[drifting ore]

Dirt and burn marks perhaps

Bullet holes potentially

[hollow shadow]

can we tow it :P?

[craggy furnace]

no

[hollow shadow]

I could imagine just towing the thing to base instead of exposing yourself while looting it

[craggy furnace]

still working on it

needs scuff marks

the biggest issue is the shine

[errant meteor]

Another tie down anchor down the middle would not hurt

[craggy furnace]

good idea

[errant meteor]
