you didn't need to comment at all, any ambiguity you might have suspected could simply have been kept to yourself

[signal apex]

What in the chicken fried f**k kind of a conversation is happening here

Bruh I'm just trying to get back into PZ and wanna learn a little bit about modding it

[solemn light]

i made a joke because i've been trying to fix a (super simple custom profession) mod for a few days and then get weirdass responses 🤷‍♀️

[errant meteor]

A lot of guilds in the pinned comments, good start

[solemn light]

@late hound there you go, i used a female emoji and brought balance to the force 🙂 🙂

[winged phoenix]

To be quite honest both sides did end up beng rude, in differing ways - though perhaps in response to percieved rudeness.

Always remember, buckaroos, on the internet when you're communicating via text your tonal intent will not translate to everyone.

[solemn light]

if i were to bore you with the physical/emotional/mental/sexual abuse i've faced in the past few months alone (nevermind lifetime) then my irritability would be understandable; yet i still wasn't hostile, just shocked that even in this context i still face unnecessary negative bs

[errant meteor]

Welcome to the internet

[winged phoenix]

hey, that's fair. Naturally, nobody here was aware, but i had a hunch the moment you mentioned you'd had the lifestyle sorta forced on you to not end up on the streets.

[signal apex]

So uhhhhh

[winged phoenix]

but yeah uh

i guess, topic?

[signal apex]

Without having to dive into files since I'm at work

[winged phoenix]

back to modding?

[errant meteor]

Back to modding

[winged phoenix]

♥

[latent orchid]

reminder that this channel is strictly for modding discussion

[signal apex]

Anyone got like a sort of classlist of clothing models or items?

[errant meteor]

Preach it brother

[solemn light]

i still have plenty questions in regards to my custom profession but 🤷‍♀️

[winged phoenix]

I mean, if it's modding related, shoot ♥ worst comes to worst nobody will have an answer

best case, well, maybe someone will

[errant meteor]

If you need someone, that is up for commissions talk to soul flicher

[solemn light]

i've asked like 3 times: i heard this framework is supposed to make custom professions simple but the documentation is outdated and the author is unreachable (or at least, he declined my steam friend request)

[errant meteor]

How old is it?

[solemn light]

how old is what, my profession?

[errant meteor]

the doc

[solemn light]

well pre B41

2 pages on TIS forums

[errant meteor]

That prob explains it

[craggy furnace]

waiting on pouch finalization

[winged phoenix]

It's likely quite outdated. It might be worth looking at profession mods that are definitely confirmed working in v53

[errant meteor]

nice shark

[craggy furnace]

making female/male stuff sucks

[solemn light]

so it's not "designed to make it simpler", it's "designed to make it easier to google to find other people's answers to your problems"? i really don't see why my mod is having issues 😭

[craggy furnace]

yep we are doing an update of the BDU mod

[errant meteor]

hmm

[solemn light]

i've done that: i've edited working custom professions using the same framework (still didnt work)

[craggy furnace]

finally populating fixed military zombies and adding grooming standards now

[errant meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/generation-kill-police-that-mustache-gif-9762598

[craggy furnace]

i forgot to add staches

honestly not a bad idea but i dont like how vanilla staches look

too big

[errant meteor]

If I were you I would ask the person who made the more professions mod

[solemn light]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2281442527 this one?

thank you, i was constantly pointed towards the "profession framework"

[errant meteor]

yup

The modder seems to be active, shoot a dm

[signal apex]

I was JUST looking at this and is what made me want to look into modding just now. Does your mod include/plan to include things like PASGT vests and helmets, things like that?

[errant meteor]

sexy

[craggy furnace]

we did fix helmets

the vanilla helmet/vest are modeled on PASGT

i ended up making a strapless version of the helmet too

[errant meteor]

planning on adding the camo CBERN suits?

[signal apex]

Alright, awesomeeee. I haven't been on PZ since pre IWBUMS B40 if that tells you how long it's been, so I don't have any experience with it since the anims update

[solemn light]

do you know their discord ID or should i just add them on steam?

note i would like to release the custom profession as its own mod

[craggy furnace]

no

[errant meteor]

steam

[errant meteor]

hmm

[craggy furnace]

urban has been implemented too

[errant meteor]

lol

would it be possible to add those moonlights on the harness

[signal apex]

Now that would look purty with some helmet scrim

[craggy furnace]

blair already does that

[craggy furnace]

he also a separate version of ALICE that filibuster made and pawlow rigged

[errant meteor]

What benefits will the harness have?

[craggy furnace]

weight reduction and speed reloading

might add about 4 for inventory space

[errant meteor]

Will be great for ammo storage

For my past questions I meant, would you add the classic desert and woodland to this suit?

[craggy furnace]

nope not in my plans

[errant meteor]

Thats a shame, I still like the base color doe, what stats will it have?

out of topic but did u know this guy was a child predatory and is in jail?

love that show btw lol

[glass rampart]

stupid question but still... how can i update a mod as a co-creator? should i just copy paste that mod to my zomboid/workshop folder, then add there a .txt and mod description copy from steam overlay(when you can edit the mod in steam)? or do i need to ask the creator to send me copy of .txt from his workshop folder?

[sour island]

You can't update someone else's workshop page.

[glass rampart]

what i meant that, that person added me as a co-creator

[sour island]

I know

Steam doesn't let you upload to someonelse's workshop page.

[glass rampart]

oh.... so whats the point of so called "co-creator" if i cant even update that mod?

[sour island]

You can help with the page itself - and get the reward points 🤷‍♂️

[glass rampart]

sounds like .... "very useful" .... damn

[sour island]

They copy and pasted what they already had for Guides.

[radiant ginkgo]

There are 2 variatns: 1 - you create a mod, but it is not yours and either specify a link to its mod with the author's permission or add the co-author of the mod himself

Or the creator of the mod himself adds you as a co-author

But he publishes a mod

There is simply no other option

[sour island]

You could also rig github to publish to steam - but it doesn't work with 2FA/steam guard on

[glass rampart]

i see... ty for clarifying that before i have done some thing stupid like trying to update existing mod!

[sour island]

You can try- it will just not work

[radiant ginkgo]

The co-author - is not the author of someone else's mod, it can be said that the person who helped you with the creation of mod

[sour island]

You can also write a feature request thread on steam but there's literally one every other month or more

[glass rampart]

well then the fastest way would be just to send the files that needs to be updated to original author of mod

for him to update

[sour island]

Yes but are you both working on it together?

[radiant ginkgo]

It will be easier for you to ask him the right to change the mod and publish it with a link to the original

[sour island]

Or is this just a 1 time thing?

[radiant ginkgo]

I would do this

[glass rampart]

well, sort of

[glass rampart]

this one

[sour island]

You should look into using github

[glass rampart]

yes, that's also good idea

[sour island]

It will help with handling two authors at a time

Also, if he doesn't use steam guard for what ever reason you can set up a github action to upload

[glass rampart]

is there a guide some where on how to do that?

i mean to set github like that?

okay, well any way ty for help!

by the way i also have few mod ideas (nothing grand) but sadly i don't have time/ability to implement them myself in the near future. if any one interested for details pm me.

[sour island]

You can Google "workshop upload through github actions"

Unless you mean using github in general- you can Google that too -- those guides are much more thorough.

[glass rampart]

got it

[sharp crystal]

Hello. I am using mods in this awesome game. What about errors on the loading? Should I really care about ALL of them?

How to read the errors anyway? It´s in the folder C:\Users....\Zomboid in the file "console.txt". But there are ERRORs even without the red message when loading a new game

[nimble spoke]

For each error there's a series of lines that point to a lua file and a line in it where the error occurred. The first one of these is the one that's relevant

if it is all the same error repeated again and again something is failing constantly and you should worry

[flint seal]

do you think executions would take place in a future build?

[drifting ore]

hey, i have a problem
i cant open the "mods" tab
it crashes my game
even if i deleted all of my mods i cant open it

[drifting ore]

the fix to this problem is to reinstall

[agile coral]

that sounds like one of the mods is breaking during load. You can delete the default.txt file in your /Users/<yourname>/Zomboid/mods folder and it disables all mods so you can try to figure out which one is doing it

[icy flint]

what game version is superb survivors with subpar survivors functional on

[undone crag]

Looks fake

You spelled dlscord with a l.

Delet this

[dry chasm]

<@&671452400221159444> ⬆️

[undone crag]

Oh that account is in the hiveworkshop server too.

It looks like a real account. o_O
Maybe it got haxed from him clicking the link himself?

[cursive roost]

They're free to contact me on it, happy to unban on proof of hack eradication.

[undone crag]

His account has spammed on the other server too. It has 14 pages of messages there before this.

[cursive roost]

From what I've seen on these hacks, the account has probably gone through a dozen email and password resets by now.

Still, they contact me and make me reasonably believe in the hack being gone, I'll be happy to unban.

[vapid lantern]

The scripts for my mod are not loading, anyone know why this would happen?

[errant meteor]

That question will get you no help, find out a little more about your issue

[vapid lantern]

well all I know is that when I load the game with it active, it never gets passed the loading scripts segment

I removed the lua files to make sure they weren't doing anything

ok, I narrowed it down the the recipe script I have

God dame } were missing

[round zenith]

DM me if anyone is interested in working on an early years of Fallout universe in PZ mod, targeting around the year 2085 so its been less than 10 years since the bombs dropped looking to treat the zombies as ghouls and insert as much lore, items and create a unique wasteland experience with Fallout and PZ mashed together. Currently at the planning and asset collecting stage
(Follow along via our Discord: https://discord.gg/UkttgXVD8K)

Previous mods I build are Currency Variety Mod [B41] and Vanilla Crafting Expanded [B41] so I have trying to take what I have learned so far and scale up to a bigger project.

[shell geode]

is there a mod to install security cameras

[hard wedge]

that sounds like a neccesity

[quick moth]

What distro spawns items at the secret military base? I went there in debug mode but the location info doesn't match with anything in the distribution files.

[nimble spoke]

in case there's no specific room definition it uses the "all" tables in Distributions.lua

anyone knows some must have mods?

[fallow bridge]

The facility probably uses a special military distribution option. Probably will see more of it if it is when we get Fort Knox

I’m not to sure as I haven’t dug around in that stuff

[keen cape]

I want a mod of when you level a skill it plays "Woo! Yeah baby that's what I've been waiting for." Clip lol.

[devout flint]

I guess you just have to access audio files and tweak skill level up sound to this audio clip.

Talking about sound. Any idea where to access weapon data to tweak noise emission range?

It sounds like some melee weapon make way too much noise so it attracts zombies from all rooms and floors in a single building and I want to change that.

[fallow bridge]

You said the quote wrong

It’s “YOO! Yeeaaaahh Baby! That’s what I’ve been talking about!”

[keen cape]

I just quoted it off the vid

It's too early in the morning for this.

[fallow bridge]

Fuck

Naw I’m remembering wrong XD

[winged phoenix]

rip

[fallow bridge]

Haven’t seen the clip in a hot minute

My bad

@keen cape you are indeed the smarty pants here

[keen cape]

I'll remember this forever

[fallow bridge]

And I am the big dumb

[short summit]

this guy's really out here owning his mistakes

[fallow bridge]

Very rare I know

[short summit]

the sheer integrity

[fallow bridge]

Anyways

We aren’t modding so let’s scram

[short summit]

I am actively modding as we speak

don't worry

[keen cape]

Is it a car mod?

We need more of those for sure. There's not enough car mods.

[short summit]

good point, lemme drop everything and make 16 new car mods

[keen cape]

IS IT sarcasm?

[short summit]

cars are very serious business

[fallow bridge]

Fuck man I gotta continue developing my gun mod

But the MSR textures make my mouth foammmm

[winged phoenix]

gotta remake the jato rocket car

[keen cape]

Unless you guys making a jetpack

I don't think another car mod will make things be a game changer

[short summit]

nah man, my car mod has u n d e r g l o w

[fallow bridge]

Eh, that’s probably true

Hence why I’m making a gun mod

[keen cape]

Undergrow.

In the 90s?

[short summit]

(I don't actually know anything about cars)

[keen cape]

I was in the 90s. I don't remember people having under glow

:p

[winged phoenix]

said car, if you hit the boost, accelerates to the in engine speed cap in a very short time before violently ejecting chunky salsa as it pancakes against the first obstacle it encounters

[keen cape]

PZ paradox. If you're driving at a speed in which could kill you, there will be a car wreck that will spawn perfectly to make that happen.

Always

[short summit]

now there's a game changing car mod

[winged phoenix]

btw if anyone manages to make car washes functional....

[fallow bridge]

Hey wait. Isn’t this one of those “people eat ice cream in summer and therefor people die of heatstroke more” examples

I forget what it’s called

[keen cape]

Kinda

[fallow bridge]

But it’s something that happens a LOT

Where people connect two things together because they happen to happen at the same time

But in reality there is no connection

I learned about it in math and finance

[keen cape]

I use the mini map mod. I've seen vehicles spawn out of nowhere. Which gave me proof of the PZ paradox.

[winged phoenix]

fallacy of correlation/causation

[fallow bridge]

Yep that’s it

Pretty funny

[winged phoenix]

i need a mod to make road cones wearable apparel ala tinfoil hats

[keen cape]

I wanna make a straight forward road. Loooooooong road. And just drive at max speed.

[fallow bridge]

Don’t remind me of changed

Final warning

Do it again and your socks are being confiscated

[winged phoenix]

?

of what

[keen cape]

Tin foil hats don't protect you from government spying. Those just help with frequency. Kinda like old tvs using tin foil. You're making the signal stronger.

[fallow bridge]

Don’t ya be pushin it matey

Otherwise you’ll walk the plank

[winged phoenix]

my bestie once drunkenly wore a cone is why i mentit wtf is changed

I want a pirate special npc

[fallow bridge]

Furry game that involved latexization and transformation

[winged phoenix]

ohhhhh

[winged phoenix]

so like coc but more fur

You can wear a cone on your head that turns you into a furry

You will get bonked

i just want catgirl ears for characters tbh

Lol

And I want guns have visual magazine removing processes

I generally just want guns to have a bit more polish

functional ammo bandoliers

[fallow bridge]

Already a thing

Unless you mean can carry ammo

Than yeh

[winged phoenix]

i found a bandolier but it didn't have a way to add ammo

[fallow bridge]

Bandoliers can’t carry ammo but increase reload speed depending on what type you find

[winged phoenix]

huh

not exactly intuitive lr explaimed

i just assumed it was an aesthetic clothing piece

[fallow bridge]

Nope

It’s got a function

[winged phoenix]

based on, you know, no tooltip or description

[fallow bridge]

It has a description

Says “increases reloading speed on pistols and rifles”

Or “increases reloading speed on shotguns”

[winged phoenix]

hm, must have missed it

[devout flint]

Anyone knows where I can find sound event scripts ? Somewhere where I can change a sound radius.

[fallen solar]

how to do mods

lmfao

[devout flint]

X)

[sharp crystal]

Hello. IS there a mod or a way to disable loot from bins, trash and corpses lying around?

[devout flint]

I don't think so, but I guess it's easily moddable as there must be some kind of "loot list" somewhere. I'm not really into modding/mapping, so I can't help any further

Oh and btw, I finally managed to fix partially that very noisy melee weapon sound.

However, it sounds like the game don't care about floors.
I mean that if a sound has a range of 1m, it will spread 1m around at each floor in a building. This makes so that a zombie right above this sound at the 5th floor will hear it, even if the noise is played at the 1st floor, while a zombie 2 meters away in the same floor won't hear it 🤔

[fallen solar]

hey so downloaded a buncha mods, bound to get errors

how do I know where the errors are

[fallen solar]

also I can't rightclick on anything anymore?

[vapid lantern]

Make sure they are for the build you play on (iwbums is 41.53)

[cerulean talon]

%userprofile%/zomboid

paste that into file explorer navigation bar and it will take you to the folder where "console.txt" is located, thats where the errors are

[cerulean talon]

good rule of thumb is to NOT download a buncha mods

[fair frost]

Louisville Police and Jefferson County Police

[shell geode]

hey if im using build 41 (not iwbums) do i install this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2557718408 or https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2081538550 ?

[devout flint]

depends on what comes behind 41

check on bottom right, in-game or in menu

[shell geode]

@devout flint

i guess it didnt matter if i picked build 41 or iwbums build 41 in the beta list.. it still came out as iwbums lol

[devout flint]

then you should take the first one (41.51+)

[shell geode]

ok ty

btw what other QoL mods do you guys use?

[shell geode]

these mean that its loaded and im ready to go ya?

[dry chasm]

If you just set it, they're now enabled, as soon as you leave the mod selection screen they'll be loaded.
Some mods might require you to enable them and restart the game, though i do not think that there're a lot of those.
Additionally, you shouldn't need to re-enable them after each start, unless you set the mods for the savegames themselves(or when starting a new run)

[errant meteor]

@craggy furnace This might already be in the game, but would you be willing to add neck gaiters to your mod, I think they look cool, and they keep shit out, and help out when its cold outside.

[dry chasm]

atleast not causing an error to popup, not sure in regards to packs on if any issues could appear due to ignoring one of them or something like that

Another thing I would like to know. Is it possible to disable or change the default key-binds for the Crafting menu when having it open?

I want to disable or change the ESC for closing the crafting menu.

[north ledge]

what site?

nvm

[icy flint]

@sharp crystal media\lua\client\ISUI\ISCraftingUI.lua

that gave me an idea for a mod for changing more keybinds

but on further inspection there seems to be a way to somehow change the keybind for that since it uses getKey just above that

oh or is that for when you're using a controller

anyone uses this mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2521330369&searchtext=subpar

It does. You can find the setting in the options. But. You will experience lag. And.... lag.

[shell geode]

really?

what spec do u have?

[sharp crystal]

No no. It´s not about spec I have. (i7 2070 Super, 32 GB RAM) even if you set up the NPC population to the minimum there will be occasional lags. With normal population there are lags everywhere.

-Note: The old and the new branch are slowly going to merge. I am gradually moving the new stuff into the old branch. I know what caused the World Dictionary error that temporarily broke saves, so I am making sure no end-user encounters that again.

Is there like a list of "must have" mods for build 41? I haven't really seen or heard about anything amazing so far (pretty new to the game)

[devout flint]

Hydrocraft is very famous.
I don't have other must-have in mind right now but you can still check the most popular mods on steam 👍

[craggy furnace]

@latent orchid pin this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2260110173

[sharp crystal]

Thank you. Exactly what I needed.

[topaz pendant]

hay anyone know what mod causes carpentry, like trying to build crate, to stop working? every time i try to build a crate the error ping pops up

[errant meteor]

@lethal sparrow How is the update going for your soda mod, I really hope I can play with it when the new update comes out, are there going to be any new additions?

[tough blaze]

yo, is there a way to test compatability/conflicting mods...added a few at once and getting the red error on the bottom at a lil play it crash

[marsh beacon]

If you say its a "few" mods, then trial and error would work

Otherwise read or post the log

[lethal sparrow]

Night before last, someone gave me a resource that should help me in converting all of my old distributions into new ones. As far as new additions, no requests have been made, so I've been going along with the (nine? can't remember) current flavors. Pepsi Truck still far from releaseable condition I'm afraid

[echo leaf]

Did this get uploaded and then immediately removed?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595249356

Seems so, pity!

Looked neat.

[errant meteor]

Maybe it’s time you start working on the bottle soda mod we talked about months ago

[meager lichen]

Is there a way to possibly turn off burnt houses only for randomized house stories?

[solar peak]

how does PZ store its animations? if i import animations from other games, will they be compatible?

the file is just .X and i have no idea what to do with that information

wait is that a directX file

hmm

[umbral karma]

Anyone use ed's auto shop mod as base?

[solar peak]

i've used it once. its really good

too good

so i started again. I'll loot it and use it as a gas station in the middle of the map

but i won't live there

too OP

[umbral karma]

Did you end redecorating or painting it? I'm having trouble with one room painting.

[north ledge]

is this from expaned heli events, the wierd one?

[solar peak]

i did not. i stopped playing there because it was getting boring

[umbral karma]

I see, ty for the reply

[drifting ore]

ye

[north ledge]

ah

[long grove]

can I just open the game files with a code editor/IDE or do I need to decompile them first somehow?

[fair frost]

OK I found them and yes you can open them in ordinary notepad++ but not the java files obviously - thanks for the help :/

[brittle prairie]

Anyone else running into an issue with not being able to barricade while running Superb Survivors? I've also tried it with Subpar Survivors - no dice

I would try to debug it myself but I have no experience with Lua

[half oracle]

Hey i actually forgot how to change the settings for an pre-existing save , can someone please tell me again 😅

[sharp crystal]

Could a more zombie loot mod cause lags?

zed loot I thing it's called

[dry chasm]

When in the selection screen on which savegame to load, there should be a "More" button on the bottom iirc

just wondering

can i do a manual fix for the lack of ^" and ~ ?

just for my game

i know it's coming next update

but can i manually do it?

yeah

HEY! do you all think that executions would take place in a future build?

[marsh beacon]

I mean I guess its possible

But is it really different than point a gun to the back of someones head

[keen cape]

Is there a mod for a higher chance for maps to spawn off zombies?

[devout flint]

you can change this in game settings in sandbox mode

[shell geode]

anyone have a good QOL mods that they recommend?

[dry sparrow]

Anybody familiar with the vehicle class? I know I can get the vehicle the player is in with "player:getVehicle()" but I don't see vehicle in the outdated javadocs. I want to check the "frontEndHealth" property.

[kind surge]

It looks like the BaseVehicle class stores the vehicle's max frontEndHealth as frontEndDurability, and the current front end health as currentFrontEndDurability. I don't see any access methods for those values, but they are declared as public.

[dry sparrow]

Thanks! So just player:getVehicle().frontEndHealth then? I'll give it a test!

[kind surge]

player:getVehicle().frontEndDurability for the maximum, and player:getVehicle().currentFrontEndDurability for the current value would be what I would try

[dry sparrow]

Awesome, thank you!

[shell geode]

are there a mod that puts what u have equiped on the top of ur inventory?

also is there a mod that seperates and includes category for items like food, weapons, etc?

[keen cape]

That'd be neat if you could have "transfer food" "transfer books" etc.

[shell geode]

oo that would be a nice touch

[naive furnace]

and also and option for crates to only allow certain items to be put in them, would make organizing so much easier

[sullen hull]

I was thinking very loosely about something and it's literally just adding the Nissan Skyline as a vehicle you can find to the sports category. Like it was would be the r32-r34 due to time period, but having an actual sports car that looks like a sports car would be cool

[mental shell]

i hope this is the proper place to ask...

im currently running PZ with the latest IWBUMS patch 41.53 and i found that some of my weapon mods altering the propane torch thus giving me a multitude of errors when equipped on the primary slot

any1 had the same problem as i have??

thx in advance btw

[rich current]

that's not a translation issue, since it's not the only language that is affected by the lack of special characters, can i do a manual fix or not? guys?

[fading egret]

hey guys does anyone know what mod this is?

[reef hatch]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2297098490 - This one i believe

you can change it in your settings if you dont like it

[fading egret]

How do i change it?

[reef hatch]

do you have the mod options required mod downloaded aswell?

[fading egret]

Yes indeed

[reef hatch]

should be an option in your settings, i couldn't say of the top of my head

[reef hatch]

should look like this

just un-tick the first four

[fading egret]

Thank you very much, new to the game 😄

[reef hatch]

no problem, happy to help

[fading egret]

Whats the point of the mod tho

should I just remove it

[errant meteor]

It is mainly used with britas gun mod, beware doe, the power is bring will be hard to let go once used

[fading egret]

What do you mean?

[errant meteor]

look what it adds in

[fading egret]

what do you mean by "the power is bring will be hard to let go once used"

[reef orbit]

okay so i enabled Subpar Survivors both of the mods is there anything i need to do to get the mod working?

[errant meteor]

what dose the workshop page say

just follow that, anything else do not do

[reef orbit]

ahh

create a new save

the mod is working! yay.

[vital tide]

Hi!

[umbral karma]

this military store is the new brita jackpot for me

[errant meteor]

could you show a pic of the store plz

its the new army surplus one right?

[dim zodiac]

Do mods need to specifically be updated to 41.53 to work?

🤔 why are my mods missing im so confused

well I started my game and they're back 😳 strange

[umbral karma]

@errant meteor yeah that one, way easier than the military base

Then a little further north is another gun store

[mental shell]

idk about you but for me the mods have to be manually "triggered" from the Mods menu

how do i say this... hmm.. the mods, somehow, disabled after a session ends

but when clicking the Mods menu, the mods immediately enabled

[mental shell]

there are mods that worked with the latest build (40.50+) and the ones that built specifically for 41.50+ BETA

just be sure always read the description, or at least that's what i do before installing anything

[dim zodiac]

Yeah all of mine are 41.50+ i'm pretty sure, i enabled them all but they literally weren't there in the mods menu

only minimal display bars was there - restarting the game fixed it though idk what happened

[buoyant mural]

Seems to me like everywhere on the map has some kind of firearm jackpot.

I was pretty happy too see it though. Guns are just too fun!
Then if you balance them with insane population so they aint easy too keep? Muchas gracias.

[vital tide]

Hi! Is pll the only mod that comes with wet suits? I just love that stuff

[dim zodiac]

wet suit? 🤔 i don't think i have a mod with that

[vital tide]

Wait!

Are you pll? The one and only?

[dim zodiac]

no :o

[vital tide]

Aw man

Got me hopes high up there

Wet suits make you look like a ninja along with a balaclava

[inner abyss]

Anyone here good with map mods specifically? I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate all spawn points on a modded map without the benefit of having a version of that map with coordinates available

Well, all points except one

[errant meteor]

There is a channel just for mapping lol

[inner abyss]

Just found it. Thanks Para 👍

[errant meteor]

Would this be possible to mod in?

[latent orchid]

wait....is wbfactory back into PZ modding?

[errant meteor]

No Idea, just found it on steam

[umbral karma]

@buoyant mural yeah true, I'm only saying cause there's more then a dozen or two containers with ammo, then about a dozen clothing racks, I'm might try a crossbow, katana, pistol only next playthrough

[proud fern]

I mean it probably could be modded in, it's just with how vanilla campfire works, this would be just a cool non-usable add-on. Unless they also change how campfires work

[winged phoenix]

here's a silly question; would changing the ham radio UsesBattery to FALSE make them function only on electrical grid connections?

cos it really feels silly that ham radios are battery only to me and i'd prefer the big ham sets to be electrical than battery operated

[fading frost]

... guys, when you upload a mod to the workshop, for sanity's sake, PLEASE add B41 or B40 to your mod tags!

i keep missing some pretty amazing mods since i almost filter to game versions > < the workshop is flooded with B40 mods afterall. and i don't know how to filter out specific game versions so it only shows "Mods" and "B41" but not "B40", if that's even possible.

we need to rally! make it known! increase awareness of mod tagging!

[agile coral]

After a quick look, here's a summary of the errors in your log: 1) "Invalid axis in gamepad mapping" means there's a mis-mapped joystick in PZs gamepad config. 2) GunNut mod. 3) ProfessionFramework mod. 4) ZREs mod. 5) CocoLiquidOverhaul mod. 6) Hydrocraft mod. 7) LockpickingOnly mod. 8) KnoxMap mod. 9) Demonius Vaccine mod. 10) LetUsFarmLettuce mod. 11) Demonius Recipes mod. 12) Barbed Wire Crafting mod. 13) TurningTime mod. 14) Water Purification Tablets mod. 15) REMOD mod. 16) REWMOD mod. 17) Silencer mod. 18) CAN_CAN_JerryCan mod.

From there it looks like one of those broke an item and that keeps causing the ISInventoryTransferAction error.

And the problem with most of the above mods not working is they're not updated for b41.53 yet

PharmacyMeds mod is overwriting the entire freaking Distributions.lua file (which is a super not good), and, consequently, fucking up the distributions in a ton of other mods on account of them attempting to reference the current, proper, Distributions.lua file.

[agile coral]

Oof, yeah that's a big no-no

[twilit hearth]

hi all, im an animator and 3d artist. (i already know how to animate and model) is there a guide on how take a zomboid 3d model and an9imate it?

[neon lintel]

do you guys have lag when you open the crafting tab with the britas weapons mod?

and if so you guys know any way to stop it from laggin? it kinda sucks since now i've totally never been crafting since it lags like crazy

[neon lintel]

actually you know what... its not really much of a problem since i can still craft things just as long as i dont open the menu 😅

[winged phoenix]

one of the mods i have goes about distributions in a very different way to the gold standard Oh God Spiders distro insertion and i wanted to check if it's just as valid as the known good Spider solution or if it's gonna cause big issues...

since the mod only adds two entries they did it like this

local distributionTable = 
{
  bathroom = 
  {
    counter = 
    {
        items = 
        {
            "Base.Soap2",10,
        },
    },
  },
  Bag_SurvivorBag = 
  {
    items = 
    {
        "Base.Soap2",30,
    },
  },
}
table.insert(Distributions, distributionTable);```

whereas OGSN uses a different insert structure and starts with ```require 'Items/Distributions'
require 'Items/ProceduralDistributions'
SuburbsDistributions = SuburbsDistributions or {}
ProceduralDistributions = ProceduralDistributions or {}```

is the top code gonna screw up anything or is it functionally a different way of achieving the same thing and therefore ok

i'm mega tempted to just remove the mod in question anyway but it's good to ask

[fading frost]

i don't have britas weapons mod, but it lags a lot when i first open the build menu, but it's normal afterwards. is that what you mean?

[nimble spoke]

In your OGSN example third and fourth lines aren't needed. Since you require the files that define those tables they will always exist. The exception would be if any insane mod out there does something like SuburbsDistributions = nil. But that would be trolling the whole game on purpose

[warped moat]

Where do I find a log for the red errors that appear in the bottom right hand corner when loading a game? I've only got 5 so hypothetically it shouldn't be too difficult to sort out the cause. Is there a way to adjust load order too?

[dry sparrow]

Tags were broken in the workshop uploader for a while, so a lot of newer mods are missing them because there was no way to add them.

[dry sparrow]

If you're on windows, it's c:\Users\<username>\Zomboid\console.txt

[warped moat]

Ah, cool. Same directory as saves basically. Thanks for that. Do you know if load order can be adjusted? 5 conflicts shouldn't be too terrible to figure out.

[hexed arrow]

is it possible to cycle between diffrent sounds for the same animation/action?

[dry sparrow]

Not sure about load order.

There they are. I'm not even sure that's a really critical issue. I haven't personally experienced any missing tiles.

[nimble spoke]

those are irrelevant, and not the ones that show red box counter

[vapid lantern]

my brain is too small to mod right(I need lot's of help with a ton of things)

@ me if you know how applying textures work

[warped moat]

Should I look for stack trace instead or what should I be looking for in the log?

[nimble spoke]

yeah

[warped moat]

Wow, and here I was thinking I'd be able to discern the logs... Any help with this?

All I can gather is something about PawLowLoot -- I can provide a list of the mods I'm using.

Ah, I found the 90s rebalance says to disable the gun pack. Trying that now.

[nimble spoke]

It is not the same error repeating, but 3 errors in the same function. Try disabling a mod that adds a new clothing location

[warped moat]

Gotta be PLL Gun Pack

Gah, I'm glad I'm not a java dev. A lot of my ST's appear to be distro-list related.

[willow estuary]

Just so people are aware,** the overhaul of the distro-lists by The Indie Stone is a current work in progress and isn't finished yet.**

That means that:

• there will be further distro-list related mod issues with further updates to PZ b41
• be aware that "fixing" the distro issues with mods now might be frustrating if future updates require one to do all that work all over again.
  🤷

[rich current]

hey, where can i change trait costs and profession point cost in the game?

(as in the lua files)

can anyone recommend a mod that adds onto farming and/or cooking?

I'm pretty sure project zomboid needs a low poly count

this is the PZ base body

[vapid lantern]

a low more polygons then I thought

[craggy furnace]

you dont know what you are talking about lol

its just a chopped up body

I just heard models in game are low poly

that was what I was told when I was making a model for an item myself

[fair frost]

Thanks

[drifting ore]

Would a b42 multiple mod work or is that too hadd

41*

[short summit]

Are you asking if modders could make their own b41 multiplayer mod?

Because the answer to that is probably no, and if it's technically yes, I doubt it's feasible or worth the effort

[drifting ore]

how about a mod that removes the need for a controller for remote play, so eveyone uses keyobard

so its basically the same

[short summit]

No idea tbh

[drifting ore]

it would be pretty cookl

not that i know how to make mods, just a thought

[pure zephyr]

I wish I could split the audio and screens up in two monitors for splitscreen

[sour island]

true dis

co-op is 10x scarier

• when my buddy goes afk I go deaf from the zombies eating him

[pure zephyr]

Can't 2 people steam link with each other. And if you do so is it still splitscreen?

[sour island]

steam remoteplay = the same as local play

steam remoteplay = hamachi if you've ever used it

it's virtualizing a second input - and receiving those inputs from the other player

so two players can't use keyboard and mouse either

[pure zephyr]

Damn

[sour island]

the audio could probably be split though

I retract my statement

[pure zephyr]

Really, how-

[sour island]

might actually be impossible lol

[pure zephyr]

Oh

[sour island]

yeah

if you imagine it's local play - you'd be hearing the same audio cause it's the same game window

could probably be managed with some tinkering by the devs

iirc co-op players are assigned numbers

idk enough about steam remoteplay though

@iron salmon is this something that was looked into / perhaps proved to be not feasible?

[iron salmon]

Splitscreen sadly not something that sees enough playtime to warrant such a thing

[sour island]

Fair enough

being only 1 person needs to own the game though - it's a great way to get people into the game

[iron salmon]

Stuff like 3D TVs and monitors that are able to split the image on one screen, and the player with 3d glasses on would see their own screen, etc

[sour island]

I already have 2 friends looking to grab the game

this is strictly the audio

[iron salmon]

I know, was just listing an example

[sour island]

which right now everyone hears everyone else's

ah

[iron salmon]

for other cool stuff that would be splitscreen specific

[sour island]

Would it be possible to generate multiple windows for each player?

[iron salmon]

If it was somehow a thing that had to be remade, I don't think we'd even be looking into splitscreen at the moment.

[sour island]

or would that also break steamremote play

[iron salmon]

It's really that low on the priority list

[sour island]

Fair enough

[iron salmon]

That I do not know.

[sour island]

most people don't like the controller play and that usually kills co-op from what I've seen

[iron salmon]

The way Steam handles it is just the same as local splitscreen though

so the workaround would be just stretching the bordered window across a multi monitor setup

Not sure Steam would be handling two different windows. Dunno a game that does it, so can't test

[sour island]

also I found it really not intuitive to set up the characters - often I'd "screw up" and lock out adding another character cause I used the controller at any point

Yeah, I tried googling around for a similar audio issue with steam remote play and can't find anything

most remote play friendly games aren't splitscreen/multicamera to begin with

[undone heron]

Sad 😦 the modded passive skills seem like they will still be broken in the next update (according to what patch notes we have so far)

[iron salmon]

Shooters and racing games, they'd have the same issue since it's all just made for local splitscreen, not with Steam's Remote Play Together in mind

[sour island]

that's true

[iron salmon]

Splitscreen died over the last decade or two, so it's hard to find a game supporting it now, even 😄

What was the EA game called recently

The one specifically splitscreen

[sour island]

a way out?

[iron salmon]

It Takes Two

[sour island]

oh

[iron salmon]

that one too, yeah

[sour island]

Looking into some dev articles on it - and yeah it'd take a fair bit of re-implementation and you'd have to some how sync a second audio device (even virtual) to someone else's audio remotely.

the issue will be moot once MP comes around I guess

[wet dune]

Do you ever plan on releasing a guide to making custom zombies?

[rich current]

I think custom zombies (as in the mod already exists)

But should be implemented as default

Nasko, on that note, zombie population in the advanced settings could be a x/y graphic that you could tinker with instead of numbers. Would be far more intuitive.

X as days and y and zombie population, it would offer way more leway.

Y as* zombie population

[sour island]

I write everything to be easy to follow - if you check out weird helis you can see how it's done. Also, Soulfitchers Turning Time uses a similar technique (if not the same).

If you have questions let me know

[wet dune]

How would one make a sight detection system? I wanted to make scps in pz. I wanted to have a custom zombie appear after a player picks up and looks at a custom map

I was gonna make the map kinda like how aza does the images in her backrooms mod

[sour island]

What I do for the nemesis AI is run the spotted function on the same player

So the zombie constantly spots the same player

[wet dune]

Is it possible to enable noclip on a zombie?

[reef hatch]

what sick and twisted mod do you have planned

[wet dune]

Scps in pz

Scp 096 and scp 106

[reef hatch]

ye i have literally always wanted that

im still trying to figure out how to make my character invisible for video editing

[wet dune]

096 isn't in the game world and is only triggered by looking at images of him

106 is completely random

[reef hatch]

honestly dude god speed, i know that would be a big mod if done correctly

[wet dune]

I was gonna use chuck's technique for custom zombies

[reef hatch]

two thing i want is a slow-mo mod and invisible mod but my skills are lacking

[wet dune]

Where is the ai for the spiffo boss? I was gonna copy that and change some things for 096

Nevermind

Help. How would I go ahead to merge two or even three occupations into one? I wanted to merge Lumberjack with Park Ranger. I can not even see where the "forest" trait is in the files... The axemen trait is simple to find.

Anyway. Anyone willing to help?

[round zenith]

profession functionality just got revamped, i would recommend looking at the guides pinned on this channel

[next leaf]

I can not find these guides.

[round zenith]

look at blair pinned about perks

if that doesnt make sense using what he has find a mod on the workshop that is similar to what you want to do and look at their code and how they did it.

[next leaf]

I still dont see where you mean. I see a bunch of channels but no guide channels. In this thread I have no idea how to find guides.
I have for a while been looking for such a mod, but not one mod shows how to reach the "park ranger forest trait" (as its not really treated as a trait)

[rich current]

hey, where can i change trait costs and profession point cost in the game?
(as in the lua files)

[next leaf]

Oh there. Thank you for showing where to look Blair.

[next leaf]

MainCreationMethods.lua
You can search for it in the zomboid folder.

I have figured out a lot of things with the help of "Banjo New Professions And Traits" mod. Sadly I still have no IDEA whatsoever how to add park rangers forest perk.
@willow estuary would you happen to know how to do that, using that mod as a basis? Maybe you could make a quick edit on one of the poccupations of that mod and post here?

Basically what I want is an occupation that is both Park Ranger and Engineer in the same occupation. The problem is that the park rangers mvement speed bonus is impossible to code in for me. I can not figure out how that is added asa it does not appear to be in the MainCreationMethods.lua

If you have issues with mods, try disabling them one by one or in batches to figure out which specific mod is causing the problems.
Do it on a new save to to prevent any issues on your current playthrough as removing mods can cause items to be permanently deleted.
After you find out which mod is problematic, report the problem to the mod creator on their workshop page.

[signal eagle]

yeah i've been trying to do that, unfortunately i can't deduce which mod it's coming from

i fixed it, dont know which mod it was but found it

[proud fern]

One keeps sprinting at you and the other teleports you into a spoiling brownie

[quiet rampart]

Is there a quick loading scenario I can use for mod conflict debugging?

Anyone who can help me with my above question about park ranger forest bonuses?

[errant meteor]

@hexed arrow hear me out, can we use your spiffo helmet to mind control zombies

Maybe there could be a spiffo restaurant runned, by zombies, and could act as a NPC trader for burgers and fries and soda pop

[craggy furnace]

@signal eagle send me a log

[dry sky]

where do u access the error log

if u wana help me figure out whats causing the issues in my modlist

[craggy furnace]

Users\YOURUSER\Zomboid\Logs

only interested in debugging my own mods, sorry

[dry sky]

found it

[craggy furnace]

nice

[dry sky]

are there general errors to look out for

like typical noob modding shit u see

that might be here

how would i go about fixing something like this

[craggy furnace]

you dont

looks vanilla

[dry sky]

so i just keep looking for more warnings msgs that use mod files?

how do i tell the diff between modded WARN files and vanilla WARN files

im guessing this is either something to do with britas weapon mod

or something that adds guns?

[willow estuary]

Those are not error or warning messages or anything else of concern.
That's absolutely normal. It's just information sent to console.

• Okay the part about Base importing itself is an "error" but not something that should cause crashes etc. Sorry, looked at that post on my phone and missed those.

[dry sky]

oh i just went through my modlist

i think im retarded

[slow granite]

emiya😈#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dry sky]

i dont know how i missed out on enabling fort knox

ok i think i can work on this from here

ill post if i have more questions

[latent kite]

It seems that the mod superb survivors is causing game crashes for me when my character sleeps. Anyone know why this might be?

Or if I can fix the problem?

[icy flint]

i cant even get the mod to work, npcs cant damage zombies at all

subpar survivors seems to break it even more

[willow estuary]

You could try using the subpar survivors addon for superb survivors. And reducing the NPC population in the options can help with performance issues.

But just be aware, none of the NPC mods are going to be free of janky/issues/problems.
Really, the honest, correct answer to 99% of inquiries regarding them could be "Don't use them unless you're resigned to live with all the problems"?
Not any failure on the part of the mod authors; it's just that they're pulling off shit that the engine does not handle very well etc.

[icy flint]

im either gonna make my own npc mod or patch the bugs for superb survivors since its a very nice concept for a mod

[willow estuary]

• for whatever reasons, they just don't work properly for some people. Might be some corner case hardware/operating system issue? I dunno, PZ is notoriously finicky in that regard without throwing hugely system resource intensive NPC mods on top of that.

[icy flint]

its definitely an issue with the mod itself, and considering the sheer amount of content superb survivors has it will probs take ages to make it function properly on latest versions

[glad coral]

what do you guys think of making it so that every action you do is sped up by 10% if youre sitting on a chair

makes the furniture a bit more useful and the books less painful to read

[next leaf]

Asking again. With the help of "Banjo New Professions And Traits" mod can I somehow add Park ranger forest bonuses? i see not mods that add this and I can not find this in the lua files anywhere... Anyone want to help me mod it in and post here?

[marsh beacon]

If the bonuses are not in the lua, then the only other place would be the java files

[next leaf]

How do I then open java files? Ty btw

[marsh beacon]

I use intellij idea

[next leaf]

It could be in "IsoPlayer.class" or "IsoTree.class" as when opening these files "park ranger" is mentioned. However they are encryped and notepad++ cant read most things in it. Would you know how to open these files? Is these java?

[next leaf]

Ah ok thank you

[dry sky]

does anyone know what causes this blank ui

when selecting some furniture on modded maps

nvm got it working it was a bug with the build menu mod

[willow estuary]

That stuff is hardcoded in the java, and, consequently, is not feasible to implement with conventional lua modding.

🤷

  public float getSlowFactor(IsoMovingObject paramIsoMovingObject) {
    float f = 1.0F;
    if (paramIsoMovingObject instanceof IsoGameCharacter) {
      if ("parkranger".equals(((IsoGameCharacter)paramIsoMovingObject).getDescriptor().getProfession()))
        f = 1.5F; 
      if ("lumberjack".equals(((IsoGameCharacter)paramIsoMovingObject).getDescriptor().getProfession()))
        f = 1.2F; 
    } 
    if (this.size == 1 || this.size == 2)
      return 0.8F * f; 
    if (this.size == 3 || this.size == 4)
      return 0.5F * f; 
    return 0.3F * f;
  }

[next leaf]

What a strange design from devs. Why would they add all traits BUT the park ranger (and lumberjack) there? A miss from them perhaps?

[willow estuary]

• that's java from an older build, so might no be representative of what's in the current build.

[next leaf]

Oh wow that looks super complicated for me. I would not know how to turn that into a mod or into another occupation sadly.

Thanks for showing me the designs @willow estuary

As for now I will have to multiclass only the occupations that I know how to, into a mod.

I really wanted the axeman and park rangers fast speed bonus (instead of lumberjacks slow speed)

[sour island]

That code isn't for assigning the profession - it's to calculate the speed modifiers @next leaf. Could definitely be improved to include custom jobs/any job. You can modify the speed yourself by doing another calculation in player update().

Player calculations are also one of the few hooks which lets you overwrite the entire function

[wanton cosmos]

we need a freecam so i can prove to you all that the player and the zombies aren't actually standing on the ground

[worldly olive]

You say that it is possible to modify for example combat speed? 🤔 I wanted to create traits similars to Axeman but for other kind of weapons but couldn't figure out how to do it

[sour island]

It depends on the order of functions, when player update's hook occurs in relation to when the combat modifier is calculated.

If I recall there's something in the java called player calculate stats - which calls on player update BUT also has a Hook too.

Events add onto the function, Hooks (should) bypass it.

So if the player update Event is called after the stat is calculated you can use player update -- if not you'd have to rewrite the whole calc function into Lua to make your own changes.

As an example, zombie run speed is determined by sandbox settings during stat calculation. You can set their runtype but their actual speed is calculated after ZombieUpdate using runtype. This example is a little bit more complicated due to there being sandbox settings involved.

[runic peak]

Does anyone know what MetalValue means in the item parameters for the Axe?

[sour island]

A few of those parameters are left over but if I had to guess it's relating to smelting.

[runic peak]

Thanks

[hexed arrow]

Sure why not 😄

[nimble spoke]

Those are not used by the base game. As chuck said they were meant for the smithing system that was cancelled. You can check the system in my Blacksmith mod

that value is how much metal you get by throwing it in a furnace

[next leaf]

@sour island I appreciate the explanation, I just dont know how to do that, mod that in. Its beyond my skill levels. I wanted to use the "Banjo's New Professions & Traits" as a base to create/merge new occupations. And ive been able to merge multiple occupations and create new ones. The park ranger forest bonus is the only thing I can not add into the mod as its not considered a trait.

[sour island]

Unfortunately you'd have to pretty much write these yourself, there's no way to redirect the effects to share across professions.

Although, you could ask the author of that mod to include some extra functionality?

[spiral plover]

I've only not touched Facility-7 for a couple months and it already feels like it's breaking

I gotta catch up and fix all these weird little things that keep popping up. Like now the players always spawn in the same spots?? Gotta fix the procedural distributions now, ahck!

[rich current]

quick question: any way that i can change the location of the mods folder? instead of having everything on the myusername/zomboid folder, can i have everything on the pz folder itself

[sour island]

not mods, but if you modify the base install it will get reset anytime you update

[rich current]

any mods that add alcaholic trait?

alcoholic*

[next leaf]

I guess I could do that ye. Thank you chuck

[misty lake]

Hey guys do you know how to access other ppl inventory from Superb Survivors?

[hexed arrow]

is there a tutorial for dummies like me that teaches the modding basics and the best way to approach stuff? Ive been looking through other peoples stuff which tells me a lot but still I lack the basics

[willow estuary]

Fenris' guide is the closest thing to a "best practices" guide I'm aware of, albeit it's not comprehensive.

https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide

[hexed arrow]

very helpful thanks

[main jacinth]

AuthtenticPeach has a good guide if you plan on making clothing items as well https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/37647-the-one-stop-shop-for-3d-modeling-from-blender-to-zomboid/

[north ledge]

i can't make the flies cure with smoker mod XD

[undone crag]

Is it possible to make a zombie wear something after it has spawned, without using outfits, and without the zombie being a reanimated player, and without making the clothing as attached weapons?

[nimble spoke]

As far as I remember you can do that, but it will not be saved if you leave the area

[undone crag]

All right I will try some more in a different way some time later and see if that works :d

[shell geode]

hey if i want to add more ways to repair a machete

do i just add a new line to this?

ie
under scotchtape
Fixer : twine=3,

but i was wondering, do i input this whole file in my mods folder (user directory)

or is there a way to seperate this section (machete repair) and add that only to my mods folder?

[agile coral]

I haven't specifically used the fixing{} type of recipes yet since they're for weapons, but yeah it should just take more lines. So in your own mod, you'll have your own (renamed) copy of the item and add whatever other fixing items to it like you have above

[shell geode]

also if i want to add a function that requires 2 items to repair, like need 1x plank, 1x twine.. how can i do that?

[shell geode]

will it replace the section completely? or just adds ontop of it.. so if i leave it with just Fixer : twine=3,

ducttape and scotchtape will still be there ?

[agile coral]

I'm not sure, I haven't tested it myself since I don't have actual fixing{} type recipes. Mine are just recipe{} types

Your copy of the file should probably be something like Base { fixing Fix Machete { Fixer : DuctTape=2, Fixer : Twine=2, Fixer : ScotchTape=3 } }

[shell geode]

kk ty, ill just test it out then

[shell geode]

do you know anything regarding this ?

thought of something thats a bit more realistic with repairing that requires multiple items tho

[agile coral]

I'm not sure. Each type of craftable has a different set of requirements to make it work and I don't have experience with others besides standard recipe{} type ones. Modders who make weapons would be the best to ask

[cyan drum]

question: if you're making a custom player model, does it have to have the same UVs as the original if you plan on making your own texture for it?

[shell geode]

ok thanks for the help!

[shrewd ether]

what does workshop item version is different than servers

what does that mean

i cant run a server and ive gone through all of my mods with no luck

[nimble spoke]

you're probably messing up most clothes if you go for a different UV

[willow estuary]

Important Tip Regarding Setting Up Item Distributions With Your Mods
Do not overwrite Distributions.lua with you mod, even if you've seen other mods do it.
It breaks the item distribution of other mods being used at the same time, and will make you mod spectacularly incompatible with future changes to how PZ spawns loot.
Don't do it. Just don't.

[tacit bison]

if the card looks like the walking dead?

[shell geode]

where are errors located

trying to figure out what would be causing my lamp pillar to bug out (not being able to get any context menu show up for em)

[latent orchid]

console.txt file under your users \ [username] \ zomboid folder

[shell geode]

if a mod is conflicting with vanilla lamp on pillar

would it show as an error?

when i right click on the lamps

[dry chasm]

should rather show up with "ERROR" infront or similar, searching for lamp probably won't yield much of a result

[willow estuary]

If another mod fucks up the lamp functionality, there's no reason for it to even throw an error necessarily.
Something could have just overwritten the code that it uses.

[dry chasm]

but in regards to log, one'd have more success searching for an error than to search for "lamp" keyword or similar i think

[shell geode]

ERROR: Mod , 1631744813860> ZomboidFileSystem.loadModTileDefs> tiledef fileNumber 1200 used by more than one mod

where can i find which mod is causing this?

btw should i delete my console.txt? in game it says i have 26 error, but in the notepad it shows 2k+ errors (i assume it logs over old dates files aswell)

[dry chasm]

2k+ errors, or over 2k+ lines?

[dry chasm]

IIRC it should replace the old one and not just add on to it, not sure though

[shell geode]

@willow estuary@dry chasm i think its a vanilla bug, i have disabled all my mods and lamp pillar doesnt work

[willow estuary]

Not all errors are red square errors.
And some error messages in the console are errors in the sense of a teacher grading a test and saying "This isn't really the way it should be", such as the messages that that say there's an error about a missing translation, versus error messages that say "Something's fucked up that's fucking up your game", which are the red square errors.

[willow estuary]

You probably need to have a battery in your inventory to put in it then.

[shell geode]

no options

when i RMC

ok i spawned in a battery

and now i get an option

wtf

but when i made the lamp pillar it already included a battery

[willow estuary]

There isn't a complex computer game on the planet that doesn't feature that sort of zaniness somewhere in it.

[shell geode]

ok renabled all mods

and have battery in my inventory..

now im able to rmc and have the option to insert battery/fuel

and lamp pillars works xd

[shell geode]

if u got some time to kill, can u check out #pz_b42_chat and try this?

i might of found a bug that i wana report but i wana see if others are also running into this issue or if its just me

[willow estuary]

Oh, I've dealt with the battery thing before. If you wanna report it as a bug the steam forums have a channel for that.

[shell geode]

ooh so its a known issue with lamps pillar ?

[willow estuary]

I dunno about "know"? I just remember dealing with it myself ingame.

[sour island]

In case anyone is having issues with distributions, I wrote a distro table dump to be read from console.txt. Requires -debug to work.
Paste this anywhere in your mod, and once you've loaded a save: simply hit 0.

function RTP_indent(n) local text = "" for i=0, n do text = text.."   " end return text end
function RecursiveTablePrint(object,nesting,every_other)
    nesting = nesting or 0
    local text = ""..RTP_indent(nesting)
    if type(object) == 'table' then
        local s = '{ \n'
        for k,v in pairs(object) do
            local items_print = false
            if k == "items" then items_print = true end
            if type(k) ~= 'number' then k = '"'..k..'"' end
            if (not every_other) or (every_other and (not (k % 2 == 0))) then s = s..RTP_indent(nesting+1) end
            s = s..'['..k..'] = '..RecursiveTablePrint(v,nesting+1,items_print)..", "
            if (not every_other) or (every_other and (k % 2 == 0)) then s = s.."\n" end
        end text = s.."\n"..RTP_indent(nesting).."}"
    else text = tostring(object) end
    return text
end
function PrintProceduralDistributions() print("ProceduralDistributions:"..RecursiveTablePrint(ProceduralDistributions).."\nEnd Of ProceduralDistributions") end
Events.OnKeyPressed.Add(function(key) if getDebug() and key == Keyboard.KEY_0 then PrintProceduralDistributions() end end)

Dumps looks like so:

[drifting ore]

do you guys know where can i find ressources on how to create mods for PZ

since it's my first mod i don't wanna do something complicated i just want to change the game textures featuring fictional brands into the actual one like spiffo's = wendy or whatever

same with items and maybe cars

[zealous glade]

is it possible to change Character's age?

[zealous glade]

Check pinned messages, there are a lot of useful guides and resources.

[drifting ore]

thanks

[drifting ore]

you could go into your save file and manually change it

[zealous glade]

Just cannot locate the right file to edit

[drifting ore]

then you could probably use the debug menu

[drifting ore]

but the files location is (c:)-users-"your username"-Zomboid-Saves-"your save's game mode"- "the save for exemple (16-09-2021_01-27-30)" - players

however the file is either compress or crypted and i'm not knowledgable on which one it is i tried to put it through a hex file converter to text but it didn't work

[zealous glade]

thanks, I've checked my save, there is a player.db file, which is out of my editing ability

[drifting ore]

how can i make a mod that overwrite the game textures, basically a texture pack ? if you know please explain it to me like im 5 i never modded before

[zealous glade]

sorry budd, I have no idea..

is there a list of all skills? Like Aiming, Reloading, etc?

[drifting ore]

yes there is i think it's in media -> script

[drifting ore]

well it's okay i finally found how, i was going at it with the wrong approach

[drifting ore]

well i guess i just have to do this for every single item and cars featuring a fictional brand in the game

and finally got it to run in game

[zealous glade]

what happened to your head, lol

[drifting ore]

it's a bandana T-T

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2271489378&searchtext=

Depends on how they wrote it

Looks like they kept the original name included so it could be generated off script manager

Or they modified each items script one by one

[vital tide]

Thanks @sour island ! I guess I'll just have to try it then.

[willow estuary]

Two spicy new options for modding in 41.54

- Added outfit zombie distribution (see example in Distributions.lua). Allows modders to add items to specific zombie outfits (e.g. bigger chance of finding ammo on police zombies, etc)
    Quick example, add Outfit_ in front of the outfit name, like Outfit_Generic01 and define your loot table.

- Added ISLiteratureUI.SetItemHidden(fullType, hidden) function so mods can prevent items being displayed in the Training Materials ui.

[drifting ore]

so how easy would it be to implement rotatable 3D objects pre-placed in locations?

e.g a golden trophy on a counter in a modded map in a building

my goal to add real life brands in game is coming along slowly

still have issues with vehicle since this is my first time making a mod i have no idea on how the fix the issues i encounter, at least this way i'm getting the basic down step by step

[sharp crystal]

FOr a long time I just want to scale/ make bigger the overhead text because I am playing in 4K a this text is really tiny. Today afetr the new patch there is an addition in the patch notes:

Added static class HaloTextHelper.java for more universal use of the overhead text.

So it´s possible to scale the overhead text now pls?

[royal chasm]

is there a way to make the clock larger, as it was in 41.53? ahaha

Does that hunting mod still work? I haven't found any animals yet.

Unless I didn't read closely enough and they're for catching, not shooting.

[reef hatch]

nasKo has pinned it on pz chat

[warped moat]

Not to my knowledge.

It would be safe to say that the VHS mod is basically redundant now, eh?

[agile coral]

I'd say that's a good thing. If your mod is good enough to be officially added to the game, then you made a mod that got the attention it truly deserved

[marsh beacon]

I would say that is a stretch to think that vhs mod affected them being put into vanilla

They were working on that system for a long time along with the other media changes

[warped moat]

I'm asking if I can unsubscribe from the mod - which I'm expecting is a yes.

[flat wing]

Yes i believe so

Does anyone know if Superb survivors / subpar survivors works in this version?

[warped moat]

It did appear so last night while I was playing, yes.

I still have an issue with broken PVP and immortal NPCs so I have my spawns set to very low.

[flat wing]

excellent Ill probably end up having to unsub from my mod list and go back through what works and doesnt. I know that the 41.53+ patch for hydrocraft doesnt work since im getting errors from "Function: GatherSeeds"

[flat wing]

Do you use subpar survivors?

[warped moat]

I do.

[flat wing]

ah interesting haha i wonder if the new version might have messed with subpar survivors and ruined the immortal npc glitch

So far from what little I have seen during a raider attack in 41.53 before I had gotten subpar survivors the only way to deal damage or kill the raiders was with a gun I got from britas

[warped moat]

That sounds about right. I tried beating a raider with a bat till it broke, I was completely winded, etc. and then he just stabbed me to death.

But the occasional NPC wandering around is kind of immersive so I've kept it even if it doesn't work as intended.

[flat wing]

I had a similar story I was beating him with a bat, then a metal pipe, then a street knife from a mod and none if it worked until I used a gun haha

I totally feel you there It really makes the world feel more alive

[tepid river]

Love the npc mod

[flat wing]

Before I go about unsubbing from mods do you know if #old_techsupport is the channel to post my console.txt to find out what mods are causing issue with the new version?

Like I know for sure i dont need Immersive cd players or the VHS tape mod anymore

[warped moat]

I believe this is actually the channel for it but I haven't been here long and could be wrong.

[tepid river]

I dont think indie stone can help with mods you need to talk to the modder @flat wing

I think

Comment on their mods and say they are broken or something

[flat wing]

thats fair I had figured since the version came out only hours ago it would take some time for mods to update but i didnt know if commenting will help as in if the modder will be able to see it

in notification i mean

Eh ignore my previous messages Ill look through my error messages and comment on mods that appear there

[tepid river]

Ye

[errant meteor]

Will modders be able to use the vanilla 3d models to add different brands?

[nimble spoke]

yeah, models are defined in a txt script. You can use any model file and then define a texture for it

Was running IWUMBUS with my wife. Played a couple of times with no problem, but ran into an on-load crash error. Anyone familiar enough with the console.txt log to help me figure out what went wrong so I can try to avoid it? Asking here because there are a handful of mods I'm guessing messed it up.

[tepid river]

Can we create custom backpacks bags etc with mods lets say i wanna make a mod can i then make a nike bag or adidas

[sturdy otter]

Could you theoretically remove the texture for the error box and replace it with a transparent one to "remove" it?

[agile coral]

Hiding the error doesn't make it go away. At that point you'd just have a broken game and would never know why

It's like removing a flood/hurricane/tsunami siren

[drifting ore]

yeah you can copy paste on of the backpacks in the c:/program files (x86)/steamapps/common/projectZomboid/media/script/clothing/clothing_bags

than add a custom texture

change the texture and then item name than add it into the loot table

i might be wrong i'm really new to modding

[agile coral]

that sounds correct

[drifting ore]

do you know where is the folder in charge of how much the player can zoom in

is ?

or do you guys know a mod that can make it so that i can zoom in more

[round zenith]

lolol just spent an hour wondering why my custom sound wasnt working when I crafted an idea, turns out the audio only plays during the action and not the length of the file TIL

[narrow crown]

Once I got the console.txt open and I found things that cause errors, what do I do with the information, anything to do other than uninstall that particular mod?

[round zenith]

unless you can fix it no.

@narrow crown and by fix it I mean adjust the code of the mod itself

[narrow crown]

ah

just thought material type leather was base game, not understanding why that causes issues

[topaz tundra]

if i wanted to make a filibuster version of vehicle chop shop, having the expanded capacity and such, how would one go about it?

[topaz tundra]

wait, can i just duplicate the file that chop shop uses and rename the parts to the filibuster ones?

[winged phoenix]

okay i'm starting to wonder which mods are now redundant with the vanilla update

so uh, anyone know if these are now redundant? based on patch notes i'd assume some might be.

1 show skill up name
(which simply shows a floating text saying what skill levelled up when you level a skill)

2 taped tv shows
(adds vhs tapes of every episode of the three life and living shows so you don't need to camp out by a tv in the first week which is an annoying meta, so if the vhs tapes added to the game actually have all the shows on them i'd love to know)

3 vehicle recycling
(apparently you can dismantle wrecks now, but this mod lets you do the same to an entire car that isn't technically classed as a wreck, so i assume it's not yet obsolete)

[eternal stirrup]

I'd say 1 and 2 are redundant now

[winged phoenix]

do we have confirmation that the VHS tapes definitely include all the life and lifing shows or an alternative skill booster?

actually, what am i doing, i can look in the game files

or maybe it's more complicated than that hmm...

i'm seeing three added items, with a mediacategory for the two non-blank tapes

now to see if i can find where in the world media categories are defined

oh wait found it

awesome!

ok it is obsolete

though it's gonna be a hell of a thing finding the shows when there's so much more that a tape could have on it :D
