[barren glacier]

Yeah it's weird but making models for stylized games is almost entirely about translating symbolism. Like we all know that bakelite magazine and that distinct handguard vent shape.

[hollow shadow]

Yeah it looks realy good. but i dont know how to texture like that

[craggy furnace]

just practice

making something good in PZ really goes down to the shading

gradual shading especially

[hollow shadow]

Im using substance painter and im sure i cant texture like that with substance

[craggy furnace]

i noticed

[barren glacier]

That's for surface modification though, isn't it?

Basically Zbrush right?

[grizzled grove]

biggest piece of advice i could give for modelling for PZ is to have a camera set up to match the in-game camera. Refer to it often to see how your silhouette and details look

[craggy furnace]

also

colors are super duper important

especially flow

too many colors that are too similar will make it look like plastic ive seen

[hollow shadow]

what about this gatling gun model. i think it looks good ingame

[barren glacier]

Honestly how to make things look good in a game this simple is a lot like how you paint miniatures.

You fake a lot of contrast paints and shading

[craggy furnace]

indeed, it does look good

[hollow shadow]

I dont know how to disable light in substance lmao

[craggy furnace]

substance is a literal bitch

[hollow shadow]

i made this in blender

[craggy furnace]

substance is really too much for PZ

[grizzled grove]

looks great, i guess the only thing i don't like is the shading on the cylinder just before the barrel. dunno if that's model shading or from the texture though

[hollow shadow]

literaly hand drawn. but idk if it looks better or not

[craggy furnace]

that really is a great texture job

[barren glacier]

Programs like substance painter and zbrush have to be used in a very specific way to do hard object modeling and not end up with messiness

[craggy furnace]

if youll notice

stuff like the tape is what really brings that together

main barrel could use some darker tones

[grizzled grove]

been a hot minute, but i think it's C or B, you can cycle to the color map that way

[hollow shadow]

painting that ak took me sooo long

[barren glacier]

I think that's pretty good DJ, but I think maybe just a little too detailed and for PZ I might increase the contrast.

[craggy furnace]

if you want a good litmus test for PZ modelling/texturing

go look at filibusters cars

seriously

its that sweet spot of nice models that arent too far out with "gradual" shading

[grizzled grove]

cars are a bit different though. they're pure color with nearly no texture shading. i think you need to have some of that in a character or prop

[craggy furnace]

secret bug fact

no notices that all cars have reflections on the entire body

[grizzled grove]

but hard shading is a staple of the games style though. avoiding long gradients is the way to go

[barren glacier]

I think that is looking better, DJ

[hollow shadow]

eh nah

[craggy furnace]

as a nitpick

[hollow shadow]

it removed the height from the yellow tape ;-;

[barren glacier]

I might recommend the phosphorescent sight surfaces be circles

[craggy furnace]

blood as a default on PZ guns/melee is a wee moot

since the game does it by default on all weapons

[hollow shadow]

on guns too?

[craggy furnace]

yes

[hollow shadow]

havent noticed

[craggy furnace]

shotguns especially but pistols at close range too

[barren glacier]

Yes it uses decals I believe

[craggy furnace]

a mask yep

[hollow shadow]

I never did blood on melee weapons tho

[craggy furnace]

good thing

since it just throws it on

[hollow shadow]

Only on shields and this gun

[barren glacier]

Another interesting example of how guns translate into a game with a low poly feel but still have lots of detail is the XCOM games.. I find them a little exaggerated in size, but it's for readability

[grizzled grove]

does xcom do oversized hands too?

[hollow shadow]

How do i look for missing commas in notepad++

[barren glacier]

hands are normalish size but guns are about 30% larger than normal, maybe even 40%?

[craggy furnace]

let it be said that i hate clothes modding

even though ive made a shit load of clothes

[barren glacier]

oh wow the hands in PZ are quite big

[craggy furnace]

mitten hands

[barren glacier]

I never really noticed that.

[hollow shadow]

they only look big becouse they only have 2 fingers

I think they are good sized.

[grizzled grove]

but it makes them look good in so view though

[barren glacier]

They're pretty big, maybe I have a big head but my hands are nowhere that large compared to my head

[hollow shadow]

I can grab my whole head with my hands :v

jk

but i can cover my whole face

[barren glacier]

Yeah when you have isometric games you can't really make stuff real proportions

It's tons of work for mostly lost detail. The reason XCOM keeps the high detail on the hands and whatnot is because of the killshot camera

I've been making a game for fun with my brother and if you take, say a BF5 model and put it in a PZ style isometric view, 90% of the detail just becomes a blurry mess

[undone crag]

Yes there would be time taken to push the round forwards.
A gas thing, yes I know about firearm mechanics and I could probably still assemble an AK-47 if I had the pieces, and some other firearms *. If it was a really simply made smg though it might not have a gas system, and the bolt-assembly-or-what's-it-called would start moving back right after the round was fired. If it was really simple and did not have that, the rate of fire could be reduced by increasing the weight of a part. * ha I might have tricked you there because I've never actually assembled a firearm, just played a computer game about assembling firearms, ha got you, I've never actually used one

ha got you

[barren glacier]

Ahh, so with some extremely rare exceptions like aircraft cannons, automatic and semi-automatic weapons use a plunger or similar device driven backwards by gas from the round going off that cycles everything. Too little gas or too much gas will make the mechanisms stop working.. You can undergas a semi-auto to make an ersatz bolt-action.

this is called 'gas impingement' and it can be direct or indirect, direct is dirtier and indirect is cleaner most of the time.

[undone crag]

Hmm so that would be a lot of trouble with an improvised firearm.

[barren glacier]

Yes, which is why a lot of them aren't semi-auto or auto

MAC-10s and UZIs are probably what you'd aim for if you wanted a scrap weapon that was automatic

Or an SKS

Even an SKS needs to be machined though, even if they were machined by 3rd graders

I've never seen the inside of an AK IRL but I have a Tavor and it's like a G3 and a Galil had a baby, and a Galil is pretty similar to an AK I've been told.

[undone crag]

Someone's been making firearms and putting videos about it on youtube on a channel. He avoids it being illegal by making pistols with wrist braces which are not shouldered. I'm avoiding mentioning the name here because firearms are illegal in some countries, but I think that might be a good reference too for improvised firearms. The one I'm not mentioning the name of to be safe from spiffo bot :c

[barren glacier]

There's this village in afghanistan where they make crazy knockoff semi-autos literally with a ball-peen hammer and a fire

[undone crag]

ooh

[barren glacier]

But those guys are master forgers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khyber_Pass_copy

[undone crag]

Hmm very nice

[barren glacier]

They make AKs, 1911s and even AR-15s too

Will it explode in your hands when you fire it? Who knows

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKKEwr8lXVM

Some of them are pretty impressive though - this is a variant of the AKM they came up with but the parts shown here are -not- from KP

[craggy furnace]

ive forgotten how to fix this

the model wont render and the clothing icon is randomly colored?

[hollow shadow]

check the script "clothingitem = ???,"

that was the issue when i had those problems for me

[craggy furnace]

elaborate on the ???

ClothingItem = Vest_BulletPress,

[hollow shadow]

and its the same as the xml?

[craggy furnace]

yep

odd

[lusty ledge]

hey guys

is superb survivors also mega laggy for you guys

if you spawn in any of the scenarios

[hollow shadow]

Yes

[errant meteor]

See the vice documentary they made a long time ago, shit is wild over there, but I heard the government cracked down hard on that place.

[lusty ledge]

do you know any fixes or is it just broken atm?

[hollow shadow]

Maybe forgot fileguid

[hollow shadow]

Get a better pc xd

[lusty ledge]

i have a 1080ti

a ryzen 7 2700x

[hollow shadow]

Same

[lusty ledge]

16gb ram

[hollow shadow]

I got a good pc too but it’s not enough

[lusty ledge]

i don't think a isometric game needs more than that :p

[craggy furnace]

oh dj

you might be right

oph

i am a fucking MORON

[sour island]

a better pc won't help superb survivors tbh

not in a meaningful way

first step would be fix all the errors it's getting

then profile it

[errant meteor]

How much can the mod be improved in its current state?

[sour island]

that's limitless

the better question is "Is what's there worth/practical to work off of?"

[errant meteor]

Well someone is already making a new NPC mod, I could see superb having the fate of the "car" mod

next build is the basic npcs

[sour island]

Aiteron's looks promising - in that atleast he's working on it lol

[errant meteor]

I have faith in it

[sour island]

As far as I know he's focusing on companion AI

which is probably a lot more practical

[errant meteor]

Having another set of hands is way more usefull

[sour island]

He knows how to make UI- so there might be an actual way to command them properly

[errant meteor]

I could see him do a wheel system

[sour island]

There's no way to search players at the moment is there?

[errant meteor]

what do you mean?

[sour island]

like search a player who is alive

[errant meteor]

Not that I know of

would be cool though

[sour island]

I've played alot of ss13 - so features like that stand out as missing

[errant meteor]

That will be very useful when they make the 64 player servers, thinking about it that sounds like a lot of people to track

[sour island]

I meant, like physically searching their inventory

there's a way to uh... server search active players already lol

[errant meteor]

You can't search through their stuff in PZ?

[sour island]

I don't know honestly

I don't recall being able to with coop- and not with superb survivors

[errant meteor]

I would love to have a stalker style inventory system at some point.

[barren glacier]

Does anyone know if someone's making 3D assets for hydromod or whatever it's called?

[plucky nova]

hydromod, the mod that adds like a bunch of water or something

[lusty ledge]

that would be cool sort of like dayz

honestly i am waiting for a better NPC mod because superb survivors is really bad atm with more than three NPCS on screen

I get like 100 errors per second while playing lol

[hollow shadow]

I usually only play them for the bandits. disable all initial survivors

make bandits spawn each day

makes it feel like TLOU

[lusty ledge]

so do bandits not lag as much?

[hollow shadow]

If you kill them each time so they dont stack yes

[lusty ledge]

might try that because singleplayer gets a bit lonely

[hollow shadow]

altho you wont be having any survivor friends. but thats fine cuz they arent reliable anyways

[lusty ledge]

can't wait for MP to be released

[lusty ledge]

they are imposible to control and don't follow you properly

i added the wife/husband option on start to test it and it was horrible

[craggy furnace]

who has the prettiest press vest in PZ?

i do

[fallow bridge]

me

[sour island]

is there a case of recipe times being different depending on factors

[grizzled grove]

can't say i've seen that. maybe hand injuries?

[sour island]

trying to avoid having to define* my own timedaction

craft is a timedaction

[nimble spoke]

ISCraftAction:new doesn't seem to consider anything but the time given by the recipe

[sour island]

ISCraftAction:new(character, item, time, recipe, container, containers)

if it's like oncreate functionality recipe = the ingredients

but it's strange item isthere

maybe it's the type

. _ .

so item is the item you selected to engage the recipe

which could also be any item within the recipe

container is player inv, and the containers include the floor and my keyring

neat

[barren glacier]

Literally yes. You ok?

[plucky nova]

no, thats not what the mod does

i was making fun of what you said

[indigo hound]

It would be great if the developers added the Sheriff's cars to the spawn code separately. And so that the game binds it to a specific city, so that there is one sheriff's car for 1 city.

[fair frost]

Yep

[barren glacier]

You must be so fun at parties

[lethal sparrow]

You guys are getting invited to parties?

[pseudo lake]

I think you have to go outside for those D:

[lethal sparrow]

XP waste, surely.

[pseudo lake]

Could be training my carpentry skills, or failing to mod the game

[barren glacier]

Anyway I've been thinking about doing some 3D modeling to replace all the defunct hydrocraft stuff because I'm tired of Russians setting their resolution incredibly low to find my base

If that mod had some modern touchups it would be lots of fun.

[pseudo lake]

The mixbag quality is too much 4 me

and some of the systems are a little bit too indepth for me

[barren glacier]

Yes, it needs to be rejimjammed

[pseudo lake]

I suspect that most of it's contents will get redone when B41 MP comes out and the game gets some new found popularity

as in most of it's contents will get redone, in other mods, not that Hydrocraft itself will get remade

[barren glacier]

Well, it was always a collection of mods anyway.

[plucky nova]

what does me being too serious or whatever have to do with me correcting you about a mod? do you not want to be corrected???

[pseudo lake]

Let me simplify it for you fren

he made a joke

it went woosh over your head

[barren glacier]

It's all good man, I was just making a joke.

[plucky nova]

oh

strange joke, but ok

you know, thats the second time someone said that to me, and both times happened today

[barren glacier]

Is English your second language?

That can make humor less obvious

Or maybe we're not that funny

[plucky nova]

oh, no, im very american lol

its not that i was missing a joke, i just corrected someone twice today, and both times they came back with the classic "you must be fun at parties"

[barren glacier]

Maybe you're not picking up on when people are being irreverent?

[plucky nova]

idk, maybe

[plucky nova]

idk if its that, but whatever

maybe im just grumpy today

[barren glacier]

You certainly took the name of hydrocraft very seriously and seemed rather incredulous that I suggested it added more water.

Maybe you need a hug or some L-Theanine

[plucky nova]

yeah... either that or some sleep

[sour island]

Finished my skill journal mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503622437

Handling perks were a bit of a nightmare

Anyone willing to test it out for a few days?

[quasi ginkgo]

Does it work with the extra skill system mod?

Or you didn't even think about it when making it?

[sour island]

The mod is deisgned to rely on the built in systems as much as possible

If the extra skills are doing the same it should work with no issue

I didn't type check anything specific- it's pulling from "all" skills

Except I had to exclude strength and fitness by name because the game doesn't handle them the same way.

So you can't gain/record strength/fitness from journals for now.

[undone heron]

nope

[sour island]

Are they not perks?

[undone heron]

Extra skills is basically Soul going "Screw adding onto here, I'll make my own, with black jack and hookers"

so it's a whole separate system from vanilla perks.

[sour island]

But you can add perks into the system, why would he not utilize that?

[undone heron]

can you add perks into it?

Cause vanilla perks are all pulled from an emu list and last I checked, you can't add onto an emu list after boot

[sour island]

There's exposed functions for adding

I can't download his mod atm, I hate that I need to workshop mods to see how they're written

[undone heron]

AddPerk requires you to pull from Perkfactory.Perk's emu list

Enum* sorry for the typos not emu

[sour island]

Why can't you edit an enun list in runtime?

If there's an exposed method that does that

[undone heron]

Enum's are constants that are generated when you launch a program

if you are going to edit a Enum, you will need to do it before launching the program

(which would be a great function for the API)

so a mod which is loaded after runtime can't edit the enum

[sour island]

But Lua is ran in "gameboot"

You don't even have to hook into "onGameboot" - if you just have loose functions running in the file it's ran.

I guess I'll have to check it out

[undone heron]

In computer programming, an enumerated type (also called enumeration, enum, or factor in the R programming language, and a categorical variable in statistics) is a data type consisting of a set of named values called elements, members, enumeral, or enumerators of the type.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerated_type#:~:text=In computer programming%2C an enumerated,or enumerators of the type.

if ya wanna look more at Enums

[charred ferry]

I got a question.

I kind of want to update the 'hunting' mod so that the animals in it have nutritional values. Would anyone be able to help me go about that?

For reference, my traps are catching ducks and pidgeons, and while they reduce hunter, they give no calories, carbs, proteins, or fats.

https://puu.sh/HMZ59/5c9c589055.jpg

[tame mulch]

https://youtu.be/NbUEEfCKRS8

[sour island]

Try looking in itemfood scripts to see how to define those values

[undone heron]

@sour island btw if you find some way to edit the Enum, ping me. wouldn't mind doing a version of better literacy without the Extra Skills API.

[sour island]

As far as I can tell Perksfactory.Perks is just a list of strings- I'll test how hard it would be to manipulate it.

I'm not really sure what the benefit of having a perks list to refer to when making perk objects

But it made reading through perksfactory really difficult

Also there's perkinfo which is like it's own watered down object that is only used for the UI I believe?

[main lion]

new models for PVS15

[polar prairie]

wow!

[charred ferry]

you didn't have to make those as high detail as you did, but we appreciate it anyways

[atomic dirge]

Can anyone please tell me what's the "code" for the digging sound ? (Something like - .ItsSomething)

Idle thought: You should be able to tear up shoes into leather strips.

[trim current]

some shoes perhaps, but not most.

[fallow bridge]

hey could someone come into the VC with me and figure out why the fuck my retexture for the M16 isn't working. i simply cannot figure it out

if not that's alright

[craggy furnace]

"whats it like to mod PZ?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRNS_8LsbrY

[fallow bridge]

i got it!

hurley spent time telling me i'm a idiot

[craggy furnace]

awesome

[sour island]

@undone heron I was able to inject into Perks but the game flip flops between Perks.n and PerkFactory.Perks.n and only Perks is exposed.

🤷‍♂️

the culprit/solution would be for the devs to make PerkFactory.Perks.Perks() public.

TraitFactory seems to be initialized entirely in Lua

[grizzled grove]

didn't someone make a whole mod just to expose that stuff?

[sour island]

soul made a mod that mimics skills

[grizzled grove]

ah

[drifting ore]

there a compatibility mod for littering and scrap weapons?

[undone heron]

yeah, Soul's mod only mimics skills. Which is why it doesn't show up in the character creation screen.

I was able to inject into Perks but the game flip flops between Perks.n and PerkFactory.Perks.n and only Perks is exposed.

yeah that's pretty much as far as I got. perkfactory.perks is the issue.

[calm portal]

They look so fucking good

[grim skiff]

is there a way to adjust what spawns in military?, i found alot of the space is taken up by Military radios that are 20.0.

[drifting ore]

did the brita's nvg got updated to work?

Hey does anyone know if this is all i need to make muzzle fire show up on my gun?

I also got these textures

Ngl it would be cool if smoke came out of guns barrels or blood driped from bloody weapons

[polar prairie]

very nice! thanks for that!

[shadow sky]

Quick question regarding icons - Do devs plan to change them or they are good as they are now?
Thanks for answer

[polar prairie]

nothing was said about new icons. i was also wondering about them.

[vast radish]

Can someone explain to me how to overwrite changes made by another mod ? For example i made a mod wich basically brings back the b40 hardcore reloading and it works in vanilla just not with arsenal 26 [gunfighter] and i want to add compability to it - im pretty new to project zomboid modding ^^

[vast radish]

oki figured it out - its in the mod.info

require=Arsenal(26)GunFighter

[hollow shadow]

This also forces you to have the gunfightermod

[vast radish]

yeah im oki with that - if i will release the mod i would upload them seperately or add 2 different "activateables"

[red dirge]

You can

Some mod allows that

[hollow shadow]

Its called recycling something

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494021941

[red dirge]

Yea

[charred ferry]

mhm

[red dirge]

I’m confused on this part. Do I need all 3 of these things?

For gun powder

[maiden elk]

The full recipe:
Mortar & Pestle
Sparklers=10
Charcoal=1
Empty Jar=1
Jar Lid=1

[red dirge]

How does one get mortar and pestle?

Sparklers are a pain to find

Jar/lids are semi rare for me

[maiden elk]

I think it's plank of wood and a tool. You can just search the recipes to see exactly what's needed.

Yeah, I'll probably reduce the cost. I also made it so that you can use Aluminum to make Jar Lids, so that's something.

[red dirge]

I just been grinding down useless ammo bullets for gun powder

Never going to use revolvers

[hollow shadow]

We can make jar lids but no jars xd

[maiden elk]

Very sad and unepic, I know. I do have plans for incorporating glass making, though. I'd also like to do something with all the plastic and rubber based junk, but those aren't really reusable or practical in a zombie world.

[quasi ginkgo]

a legend was born

[hollow shadow]

Lol

[red dirge]

Can you even make glass?

[hollow shadow]

Wdym

[red dirge]

Like for the jars and stuff

[main lion]

Final work!

[red dirge]

Finally crotch protection!

[main lion]

Defender 2 Armor

[maiden elk]

Not yet. There's a mod for making car windows out of glass, Rod's Store has a recipe for making glass shivs and SF's Building Time lets you repair windows.

[nimble spoke]

I've been thinking about expanding glass making and recycling, I haven't decided yet how I will accomplish that though. First point is how to include glass melting as a general rule and not through a million new recipes

Ideally I'd use the blacksmith system somehow but the core parts of it are all inside the java black box

[hollow shadow]

Maybe melting broken glass from windows or broken bottls

[red dirge]

Blacksmith was a pain for me to master but I got the hang of it

[nimble spoke]

the idea is to be able to melt any glass items

[red dirge]

I just wish you could craft with the items on the ground for smithing

Not hold it in your inventory

[nimble spoke]

it is still under constant revision, so I will evaluate that at some point

[red dirge]

Is the iron bars used for storing?

[nimble spoke]

They were added mainly as a way to level up the skill in case you have a hard time finding the magazines and you didn't take the profession

[red dirge]

Hm… So best to avoid them?

[nimble spoke]

if you don't have a lot of extra items to melt and need it for other items then yes

[red dirge]

Alrighty

Majority of my time was just smelting silverware

And metal sheets

Anyone know why superb survivors doesn’t work split screen?

The mod is incompatible with split screen atm, if you plan to play with splitscreen you will have to disable it

I believe that is a single player only

@willow estuary May I know, how did you get the car battery from Military Vehicle Parts to work? If I add my own custom batteries to the ISWorldObjectContextMenu.handleCarBatteryCharger function, game doesn't detect them as viable replacement parts.

Hee thats a familiar face.

Fallout mod one.

anyone know the functions to see if a mod is active?

Hey so im trying to install Authentic Animations and im just wondering how I go about transferring the animation files. I have both files containing the animations on my desktop ready to move, but how do i do that? What do I move and to where?

[worldly olive]

Hi guys! does somebody knows how to trigger a scream (as when you press the "Q") but with a custom text?

[hollow shadow]

wasnt there folders that u opened to see the emote and actions?

[quasi ginkgo]

Move both of these files to media

[hollow shadow]

nah

[quasi ginkgo]

They do go to media as far as I know

In your PZ installation folder

[hollow shadow]

theres no emote and action folder in media i think

[quasi ginkgo]

Probably in action

[balmy prism]

I know for True Actions i just moved the animation to the anim_x folder

[quasi ginkgo]

https://youtu.be/k1fLApKqW8o

The funny peach guy made a video on how to install it @balmy prism

[balmy prism]

Oh! Awesome! Thank you!

[late hound]

That video is outdated. All you need to do is subscribe and enable the mod. No further actions needed.

[balmy prism]

oh ok! I already went through with the thing, is that ok?

[late hound]

For now, I guess? The next time the game updates, it may get overwritten.

[balmy prism]

It's compatible with True Actions, right? Someone said it was but now I cant sit in a chair

[late hound]

Who said that? True Actions needs a manual install.

[balmy prism]

Dont remember. I asked and someone said they were compatible.

[half oracle]

Guys i am having a issue with superb survivors mod that if i get in the car my followers get in too correctly but when i get out they don't & if i get in again & drive the car they get stuck in the same location & in same position as they were sitting in a car

@main lion when I get home, I will throw off examples of clothes from escape from tarkov, which is used as a base for armor and unloading

[late hound]

It’s very possible.

[craggy furnace]

making it work well is the issue

you can definitely do a duster/cloak

[fallow bridge]

i wish we could have cloth physics

not ever gonna happen

but it'd be great

[autumn ether]

@main lionmodular anti-riot armor? ok?

[fallow bridge]

SWAT mod has that going for it

[autumn ether]

@fallow bridge it is not modular, but in the form of a one-piece suit

[fallow bridge]

it's as modular as the mod could get.

[fallow bridge]

oh wait, you mean for Brita's?

[autumn ether]

@fallow bridgeyep

[fallow bridge]

why not just use SWAT mod then? that mod has modular armor, as well as a bunch of other content?

just curious

[hollow shadow]

yeah but its just gonna look weird and tight like the long dress from vanilla

[red dirge]

Swat mod adds riot armor

[autumn ether]

@fallow bridgehis armor is not modular, but in the form of a one-piece suit with a stretched texture, I'm talking about full-fledged parts of armor

[craggy furnace]

then make it yourself lmao

[fallow bridge]

no it's not? it;s really modular

i was literally using swat armor like 2 days ago

and that's really hard to do, as the game only accepts clothing if it's in clothing catagories

[fallow bridge]

you can't make custom catagories

[autumn ether]

@craggy furnaceI just throw references. unfortunately i can't model

[fallow bridge]

but why even throw reference if it's already been done?

[craggy furnace]

then start

[fallow bridge]

why put more effort on another modder who already does more than she needs to

[craggy furnace]

cant is the enemy of can

"i want this" thats cool

[fallow bridge]

this is a compliment @main lion

not a insult

[craggy furnace]

that also means 99.9 it isnt going to happen because its not their problem to make it

but you can absolutely will it to existence

[autumn ether]

@craggy furnacei know what u say and I condemn it. I'm not saying that it should be done or please do it, I just share ideas, no more

[craggy furnace]

then what you share is nothing but air

[fallow bridge]

again, why even suggest it if it's already been done? what would make Brita's better than the swat mods?

the swat mod adds more

even has working riot shields

what would make Brita's special?

[red dirge]

Never tried the shield before

[fallow bridge]

it's great

literally says no u to damage

as always check if it's already been done before suggesting something

[red dirge]

When your vest armor gets damaged

[fallow bridge]

you actually don't take a single bit of damage with the shield

like you do the push away animation

there is a bite sound

but after that nothing

no damage

[red dirge]

I’ll have to keep an eye out for one

[autumn ether]

summarize: @main lion make a patreon

[red dirge]

Brut

Bruh

[autumn ether]

[red dirge]

Why would she make a Patreon?

[fallow bridge]

so he can give her money to make his swat armor

which ALREADY EXISTS

[red dirge]

[autumn ether]

@red dirgebecause I am at least ready to support the author of the content

[red dirge]

Right….

[craggy furnace]

funny

everyone says theyll pay lmao

[red dirge]

I would relax about asking Brita for stuff. She has probably a lot of stuff to make

[craggy furnace]

pawlow found out thats bullshit

[red dirge]

Sad to hear

[craggy furnace]

the reality is PZ is a game thats sub 10k concurrent players

which translates to no one actually being in the market to commission mods

[fallow bridge]

yeah Brita gets asked a fuckton on a daily basis

[autumn ether]

@fallow bridge why do you think I'm so hooked on riot armor, I just picked up a couple of pictures to think about, but no more

[craggy furnace]

which actually just translates to request/ideaville

which actually just turns into nothing

[red dirge]

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

[fallow bridge]

i personally think she should take some time off from modding, everyone's gotten to dependent on her

[red dirge]

^^^

[fallow bridge]

take a break ya know

[red dirge]

This mod adds like 2 armors

Also are you subbed to her armor mod?

3 technically

Can’t say the EOD suit offers good protection tbh

[autumn ether]

Okey guys, get my idea right, the mod from Relih is super-duper. the first on the armor. It was super. Now the trend is for modular equipment from different parts. I don't know Relih and have never seen him here. The Brita modular gear concept is ideal, especially when combined with this type of armor. this is my opinion and I do not impose it on the author. I just shared specific references with a detailed diagram of the armor modules

[red dirge]

Understandable

[fallow bridge]

again, his armor IS modular. how are you not getting that?

you can use the knee pads and arm pads separately, you can choose to take off the neck protection

there is only so much "Modular" you can do in the game before you start replacing important armor pieces

as i said you can't make custom clothing placements (as in like custom slots) you have to use the ones the game gives you, which are very little

[autumn ether]

@fallow bridgein the game, the armor model looks like a full suit with a stretched texture, I'm talking about modular equipment like what PawLoot did with Rogue armor

[fallow bridge]

yeah

SWAT mod works EXACTLY like paw low loot

i literally used the armor mod 2 days ago

[red dirge]

Always wondered how paw came up with the rogue outfit

[fallow bridge]

i was wearing the knee pads and arm pads with a normal pair of jeans and a jacket

[red dirge]

You a skater boy?

[fallow bridge]

as i just said there is only so much in terms of modular you can do

[fallow bridge]

i don't use swat anymore

personally felt a little to OP for me

[red dirge]

Fair enough

[fallow bridge]

and also my character is FEMALE

@autumn ether Theres already an open beta for a modular armor mod. You can craft and customize armor and wear it seperately on each limb.

the arrows thing and the fact you can't just input the numbers is probably the worst aspect on the editor

Hi guys!
Does somebody knows how the logic of the timed actions is to make them valid or not? I explain myself, I want to make some actions as not valid when certain conditions are not met, so the code for that goes in the "isValid"? and the return should be a false? that's what determine if the action can or not be done?

Hurrah! I'm trying to figure out how to draw graphics to the UI but I just can't seem to figure it out. I've been using ISImage to try and stick spiffo on the hud, but spiffo has beaten me every time. Any code snippets you can point me at that might help me figure it out?

[raven anvil]

[errant meteor]

[charred ferry]

They didn't update it with nutrition, or if they did, I can't find it.

[swift sequoia]

omg I got a thing! Now that I have a thing, I can figure out the rest.

I got a quarter spiffo and you know the ancient chinese saying: A quarter spiffo is better than no spiffo.

[craggy furnace]

confucius says get better chinese sayings

[fallow bridge]

i've taken a break from smacking two sticks together to make a mod for today, that MSR texture is ass

i've learned something

the devs didn't get rid of the old textures

for guns

infact they are still used

[swift sequoia]

Bedtime for me too. I've upgraded from a quarter spiffo to a whole spiffo, and now spiffo does a disappearing act. Now I need to make spiffo dragable.

@errant meteor my haul at the end of the play test, pretty good amount.

I have a question for a thing to appear in the boxes, it needs to be registered only in "Distributions", or somewhere else?

[lethal sparrow]

The mods I had loaded, and as such mods that are not causing your issue, are Bushcraft Gear - Tools, TED BEER's Zombie Skin Retexture, Harry's Hair, Superb Survivors, Get Firstaid by examining dead bodies, Dub's Profession mod, Taped TV Shows, Bushcraft Gear - Rare Weapons, Westpoint Expansion (and its lootmap mod), Deeply Closeted, Actual Sawn-off shotguns, Recipes+, Better Sorting, Tsar's Common Library, Autotsar Trailers, Better Towing, Fillibuster Rhyme's used Cars BETABETABETA, Fort Redstone, Gun Suicide, Better Lockpicking, Extra Skills System, Profession Framework B41 Patch, New Car Sounds, Scrap Weapons, TED BEER's Player Makeup Retexture, Exercise Books, TED BEER's Player Skin Retexture, Pillow's Random Scenarios, Let Me Think, An Exhiliratingly Organized Literature mod, Spears Twine and Leather Binding, Show Skill Up Name, Crafted Baseball Bat, Crashed Cars Mod, Pillow's Random Spawns, Harry's Healthier Skin Complexions, Improved Build Menu, Real Body, More Hair Colours, Silencer/Suppresor

Short answer, they someday might. I remember seeing bows/crossbows under the "yes" or "maybe" sections of the suggested Ideas post on the forums. They, at least, recognize the future of non-firearm projectile weapons.

If you don't want to wait that long, Kitsune's Crossbow mod is the popular diversion.

I've always had a wish that Project Zomboid had a stats tab like Minecraft's, that logs precisely all of the miscellaneous things you've done. They came close, with tracking the days survived and walkers killed, but I'd love to know my distance walked, items broken, structures built, ||sodas drank||, etc.

It'd be far too invasive for me to include a Sodas Drank counter right underneath the Zeds Killed counter on the stats page, but it'd be funny though.

[errant meteor]

If you had glass soda bottles it would be great to collect caps, thats just me doe

[lethal sparrow]

I'll let you in on a little secret: That's been coming for some time now; not, however, for Alfrety's Additional Sodas.

[red dirge]

What would caps be used for?

[lethal sparrow]

Working Title Alfrety's Fictional Sodas, with the hopefuls including the Perk Colas from CoD Zombies, Sunset Sarsaparilla and Nuka Cola from the Fallout universe, and some other fictional soft drinks sprinkled in.

Nothing, I guess. Just have them.

[red dirge]

Nuka cola I would like to see maybe

[south wraith]

Hello everyone !
Quick question, I made a basic craft recipe. Everything is working fine however as soon as the crafting is done it's going to freeze for a second.

module CutOutSeed
{
    imports {Base}
    recipe Cut Out Carrot Seed 
    {
       keep KitchenKnife/HuntingKnife/MeatCleaver/FlintKnife/Machete,
       Carrots=1,

       Result:CarrotSeed=5,
       Time:100.0,
       Category:Farming,
       CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
    }
}

I am missing something ?

[sour island]

Is base supposed to be in brackets?

[south wraith]

In the game files it's like this

  imports
  {
    Base
  }

Also checked with this spacing and without the imports {Base} but still the same result 🤷‍♂️

tbh I am expecting the freeze to be something very stupid since everything else always was straight forward x)

[swift sequoia]

Is there a non-blocking way to execute lua code once per second?

I ws thinking of using an ontick event with a guard block limiting execution to every second, but ontick is expensive.

[sour island]

You're right, the brackets being so close threw me off

[hollow shadow]

@south wraith Try to put the imports base part the same way i did

[sour island]

I would run the game in debug to see what errors there are if any

[sour island]

Many of the games' functions are in ontick- if you're keeping it down to a single if statement (before proceeding on) then it shouldn't be that expensive.

[swift sequoia]

WOrks for me, better solution than using os.clock or semaphores.

[sour island]

Personally I have a var set as the gametime + cooldowntime when the function is ran then prevent it from running again if current game time isn't greater

[ruby urchin]

What happens if you use time=100 instead of time=100.0? remember that a int != float or at least that is how it works in most languages

[swift sequoia]

@sour island thanks! If it isn't too expensive that's my ideal solution. I'll use that.

Nicely done! Your AN/VVS-5 model for the Ops-Core Helmet was great too!

Could be a lead, feels like the freeze is less noticeable. Could be a placebo effect but it's maybe the fix I needed. Thank you very much 🙂

Or maybe without ''scaled'', that's from about three months ago. :s
Scaled is so it stays right with zooming in and out.

[swift sequoia]

I'm afraid that doesn't answer my question. So on the hud, in the upper left, you have the circles for the primary hand and secondary hand. I don't know the equation for calculating where to put them on the screen.

[undone crag]

Oh I thought you mean the circle where the guy was aiming where you use the mouse to aim.

[jaunty trail]

I wanted to modify an already existing hud mod. But i have no idea how lua work :/. Can anyone tell me how hard that is going to be?

[swift sequoia]

Do you have any programming experience at all? @jaunty trail

If you have a good deal of other language experience then it probably won't be too difficult. In general I do find it easier to write my own code than modify another person's.

If you have no programming experience, then how difficult it will be depends on how extensive you're modifying the mod and the programming style of the other person, so its basically impossible to gauge how hard it'll be for you.

What I can say is this: If you do need to modify the code, then go into it with the intention of learning Lua, not modifying the mod. Also understand that PZ implements kahlua, which is a derivative of Lua, and therefore there can be some differences.

[jaunty trail]

Im familiar with: Java, JavaScript, C++, Php, Html, SQL and am currently learning Python.

Aesthetic, would be a great mod to make though

[proven ibex]

Yeah like able too use it and just use the running anim on the mill and without the character moving.

I guess its just a matter of coding.

[fallow bridge]

And animating

Which is something only few people can currently do

[proven ibex]

I mean you can just use the running animation already in.

But without it moving for the treadmill.

No need invent the thirdwheel again.

[fallow bridge]

Problem is I don’t think you can tie it to anything

You need animation tools to link the animation to the action

Iirc

[proven ibex]

Ohh oke, well I have zero knowledge of modding this or any coding modelling knowledge but yeah xD.

But if thats true then yeah going need someone for it.

Would be cool tho, cuz there is this one amazing spawn in lake ivy township with a home gym.

[sour island]

Players don't either from what I understand

It's tied to the game character object

[hollow shadow]

I killed my friends on splitscreen multiple times using a car

[sour island]

Hmm

I was going off the code but maybe there's behavior in IsoPlayer I didn't see

Hey, i tried out your journal mod and my character keeps saying (Theres nothing written here) after reading modded recipe books

[tame mulch]

NPC inventory - another way

[sour island]

Hmm I'll check

[vast radish]

any way to add the backpack as container we can interact with ?

[tame mulch]

I think i can do this. I will try

[vast radish]

otherwise giving AI a backpack will be pain if they loot it and put it in the backpack~

[worldly olive]

Hey Aiteron, do you have all those videos in youtube or something? I would like to see all of them but I don't want to search for them in the discord 😂

[tame mulch]

I have few in my youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbUEEfCKRS8

[worldly olive]

Thank you a lot!

[worldly olive]

This seems insane and awesome to play with custom configurations, does it works for already created games? I can easily override my sandbox config if necessary

[craggy furnace]

@worldly olive to a degree, yes

it is marked by the ingame day

anything over a month is probably going to be silent

we have a github repo open for bug reporting and anyone who wants to help us work on it

[swift sequoia]

Is there options to reduce the frequency and make it happen past the first month? Or will I need to edit it to make that happen?

[worldly olive]

So after a month the events finishes? I made this question in the mod but as you answered here I ask here xD
I would like to play this mod but the events never stop coming

[swift sequoia]

Also if I could recommend an event, a news helicopter being attacked by a military helicopter.

[craggy furnace]

we will probably work on something thats post a month and more into six months later

very rare helicopters

we already have one that fits that bill

[swift sequoia]

Sweet

[worldly olive]

That would be awesome actually!

[swift sequoia]

Now I want to rush collecting stones so I can write out 'help' in cairns.

[gentle ice]

anybody know if this will work? I just started modding idk if this is correct

[vast radish]

should work if you put the folder structure right

i would personally just put it in a category so its easier to find

[gentle ice]

yes im going to do that

also where are the textures for items stored (specifically sheets and tarps and stuff)

[tame mulch]

Improved NPC Inventory UI. Suggestions, ideas?

[vast radish]

This is so pawsome ♥

[gentle ice]

what do you mean folder structure

[vast radish]

like: media\scripts

[gentle ice]

yes i have done that

and that file just needs to be a .txt and not a .info right?

[south wraith]

txt

[south wraith]

where you define the texture of an item or where the texture is stored from the game files ?

[gentle ice]

where the texture is stored in the in game files

[south wraith]

ok give me a sec going to look for the path

[worldly olive]

Looks awesome!

[south wraith]

ProjectZomboid\media\textures

However I am struggling to find the textures you are looking for

[gentle ice]

yes i cannot find sheets, ripped sheets, and tarp textures

[worldly olive]

Hey guys, to obtain the Rain intensity I use: RainManager:getRainIntensity();
But to get the wind and snow intensity does somebody knows? The ClimateManager.class has the methods getSnowIntensity() and getWindIntensity() but I'm not able to call them, I get a lua error

[sour island]

Nice, much better

[gentle ice]

btw projectzomboid/media/textures is only textures for 3d objects

[sour island]

    local CM = getClimateManager()
    local wind = CM:getWindIntensity()
    local fog = CM:getFogIntensity()
    local rain = CM:getRainIntensity()
    local snow = CM:getSnowIntensity()
    local thunder = CM:getIsThunderStorming()

[worldly olive]

ooooh I had to get the climateManager first, gooooot it

[sour island]

I didn't know rainmanager was a thing

[gentle ice]

how do i open .pack files?

[sour island]

there's programs for it

[worldly olive]

Thank you a lot Chuck!

[sour island]

np

[gentle ice]

which programs?

[sour island]

there's this one: https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12394-pz-pack-file-manager/

if that one doesn't work just google .pack extractor - there's a lot of modding communities with their own tools

[polar prairie]

this is so good, oh my. awesome work there! :)

[gentle ice]

i searched every single png in project zomboids files and still cant find the textures for sheets, ripped sheets, and tarps.

[vast radish]

just out of curiosity - what do you need them for ?

[gentle ice]

making a mod where you can sew ripped sheets into sheets and sheets into tarps

but i got the textures by going in game and removing the background with paint

also my mod didnt work :(

i think i mightve put it in the wrong folder

what is the correct folder to put mods?

nvm

it says in game

[vast radish]

but i dont see why you need the textures for that

its just a simple crafting recipe

[gentle ice]

for the poster

[fallow bridge]

They don’t have textures

As they are not 3d

[gentle ice]

i made this as the poster

the recipes from my mod arent showing at all

[fallow bridge]

Did you make sure they are assigned to a skill?

[gentle ice]

do they have to be?

[fallow bridge]

And have a custom location in the crafting menu

Yeah they do

[gentle ice]

its in the general category

and how do i assign a skill

[south wraith]

@gentle icecould you share your code here ? Would be easier to see what is wrong ^^

[mortal widget]

the mod is turning out amazing, almost looking like they move like players

[eager crypt]

im boutta buy the game can u have like a mod menu? to spawn items in to mess around?

[gentle ice]

yes there is a cheat mod

[south wraith]

it's the entire file ?

[eager crypt]

whats it called?

[gentle ice]

no thats just the recipe

[south wraith]

you can use mods or the debug menu from the game

[gentle ice]

this is the entire file

inside media is a scripts folder which houses the txt

[eager crypt]

ok thanks

[gentle ice]

how do i assign a skill to the recipe? VunderFiz said thats the issue

[south wraith]

to say it require a skill it's like this :
SkillRequired:MetalWelding=6,

[gentle ice]

for tailoring its just tailoring right

[south wraith]

to assign a category it's like this:
Category:Farming,

you do not need a skill required to make a craft functional

[gentle ice]

I have category as general

[south wraith]

here are some examples :

    recipe Cut Out Carrot Seed 
    {
       keep KitchenKnife/HuntingKnife/MeatCleaver/FlintKnife/Machete,
       Carrots,

       Result:CarrotSeed=5,
       Time:100,
       Category:Farming,
       CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
    }
    recipe Recycle Useless Metal
    {
       UnusableMetal=3,
       BlowTorch=10,
       keep WeldingMask,

       Result:ScrapMetal,
       Time:150,
       Category:Welding,
       SkillRequired:MetalWelding=6,
       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.MetalWelding10,
       CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,
       NeedToBeLearn:false,
    }

[gentle ice]

is this good?

[south wraith]

@gentle ice

[gentle ice]

wtf why does it work for you

[south wraith]

your recipes are fine

[gentle ice]

is something else broken?

[south wraith]

It's the file I used

[gentle ice]

oh it needs that stuff?

i didnt know it needed anything else

[south wraith]

and for the path it's in MyCustomMod\media\scripts\MyCustimRecipes.txt

[gentle ice]

its ok with you if i copy that file right

[south wraith]

Yeah don't worry ^^

[gentle ice]

ty

how do I upload the mod to the steam workshop?

[south wraith]

https://youtu.be/N6tZujOPnDw?t=2800

It's a pretty long video, but it's going to explain everything

[gentle ice]

i figured it out, its in game

thank you for the help @south wraith :)

[south wraith]

No worries buddy 🙂

[gentle ice]

just uploaded the mod

aiteron goes all out on his mods

one of our best and brightest

[swift sequoia]

Mod I've been working on

I plan on having two versions, one that is just there at the start but doesn't have the ammo count, and another that ties how much information you get to your skill level

[sour island]

Is there a list of animnodes in game? @late hound

[late hound]

The anim viewer tool in -debug mode is the closest you will get in-game.

[sour island]

ah, ty - what accesses the viewer?

[hollow shadow]

Awesome mod idea

[swift sequoia]

Thanks, I'm doing code cleanup now. Somehow calling color changes has screwed up my justification. Its weird.

[sour island]

@hollow shadow

--- [isWeldingMask]
function isWeldingMask(scriptItems)
    scriptItems:addAll(getScriptManager():getItemsTag("WeldingMask"))
end

you would have to add the tag "WeldingMask" to the items

and modify the recipes keep to be =WeldingMask/[isWeldingMask] or just [isWeldingMask]

for it to just be keep = [isWeldingMask] you'd have to add the tag to the vanilla mask too

you could also have the recipemanager add to it - I did that for EHE cause I'm lazy/don't want to deal with other people's mods

[swift sequoia]

I think there's an error in ISLabel.lua

Changing the text of a label will cause it to move.

[willow estuary]

Break Stuff...

[plucky nova]

woah

that looks.. terrifyingly real

[grizzled grove]

feeelthy cheeeeter

looks good though

[willow estuary]

Cheating? I'm just being creatively common...
I'm no good at modelling though, and aside the most basic of stuff, can't make sense of blender, so I gotta cheat to try and keep up with my idea.

But yeah, aside from not matching the vanilla style in the least, I'm digging the look for bringing more grit and mess into PZ?

[lethal sparrow]

Anything that brings the game closer to being a true The Walking Dead sim is well appreciated in my eyes

It is a noble pursuit, that calls upon the very essence of our being here. For what other reason do we inhabit this plane but to shape it in our own image

That we would leave it, unchanged, would be to die without ever having lived. RISE, and DIE AGAIN.

[lethal sparrow]

Also, congrats on your official mention + interview from Indiestone, really moving up in the world, eh?

[grizzled grove]

it would be nice to see more of that

[errant meteor]

Thats good they need more people working on the game

[grizzled grove]

btw if you need anything feel free to ask

[lethal sparrow]

It was an honorific interview, Paranautic. They weren't looking to hire him, just admiring him as a hero.

||unless they were||.

[willow estuary]

There was someone here a little while ago in this channel trying to argue that using Sketchfab models was wrong... ....even though in most cases they're being sold or literally given away for free with the express purpose and license for people to use them in their projects, the only stickler being a commercial clause in some case.
What a silly billy 😄

[grizzled grove]

it wasn't me, was it?

[willow estuary]

Ahaha, nope. They were being "weird internet arguing person" about it as well as I recall?

[grizzled grove]

had to check, i say some pretty stupid shit

i'm only a stickler for the style and not ripping people off, and the former can be bent pretty hard if done well

[craggy furnace]

i had one of those today

i understand the rage now blair

shit suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

[willow estuary]

Most Sketchfab Pages: "Feel free to use this model for any projects, commercial or not, I'm just happy if someone can make use of it!"

• I've actually bought at least one model off of Sketchfab, off of someone whose free models I've been using, and have a list of others to purchase/put on a wishlist for my server peeps.

[craggy furnace]

these crashes need more bodies

[lethal sparrow]

The only individuals who will duel you to the death over the methods you use have completely lost touch with why they do this in the first place.

[willow estuary]

Ah, like I can get the mindset of getting weird about nonsensical rules like that if say you're into modelling and aren't really secure in yourself, and maybe feel some sorta irrational resentment about people just using freebies instead of suffering like yourself, or paying you to suffer?
Or else you're just a bad faith interent arguey person as some sorta dumb recreation.

[craggy furnace]

tbh
