Unsolicited ping-report on @nimble spoke : The conflict between cooking time and eris_food_expiry comes from the fact that SFChocolateWaferStick has DaysFresh but doesn't have DaysTotallyRotten. Which is a bit weird considering that SFChocolateWaferSticksJarOpen has both.

I cannot pinpoint it but like python... it feels a bit "off" at times... very idiosyncratic

#

something you must get used to over time, i think

dawn shuttle Oct 30, 2021, 4:57 AM

it reminds me more of MSSQL which is oddly enough a query language

teal rampart Oct 30, 2021, 4:57 AM

or like that 🙂

dawn shuttle Oct 30, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

similar keywords such as then/and/or/end

the ternary is what really got me confused
x < 0 and "negative" or "non-negative"
what? lol

teal rampart Oct 30, 2021, 5:01 AM

i make the most silly syntax errors

ah, i hope i can get my counter implemented

if that one is in there, i can implement a simple decay function

Keep up the good work. :)

#

If I implement an item into the game, will it automatically spawn in loot tables or do I need to script that?

#

I'm trying to implement items that must be crafted and not looted

teal rampart Oct 30, 2021, 5:26 AM

you need to script that

If you want a crafted only item, you can implement it via recipes.

zealous wing Oct 30, 2021, 5:27 AM

But if you want your item(s) to spawn in the world, you need to use a distribution table.

#

Those are lua, but it's day one beginner lua.

Good to know for future reference.

rose notch I see you have found the bizarre world of overpriced 3d models of random things,...

I fucking know right? I saw someone wanting $30 for a fucking ice cream cone on TurboSquid.

#

Someone wanting $1000 for a 3d model of a Bugatti or Lambo is entirely believable.

#

I could see Games Workshop trying to pull that shit when they finally give up on trying to squash the 3D printing industry and dip their toes into it.

#

They'd try and charge $2000 for a titan like they do on Forgeworld. Only this time you ain't even getting resin crack to justify that ludicrous price, just some janky model in some weird proprietary format.

But that's neither here nor there. 😄

either lazy or malicious coding at play.

just unpack it and if it asks you whether to overwrite files, click "yes"

that's all i can say

unless the zip/rar does not have the same file structure

Hi, anyone able to play superb/subpar survivors? Whether I use version 41 or IWBMS, many actions are broken, like I can't barricade a window etc

dry chasm Oct 30, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

nimble spoke well, 2 different comatibility systems that won't be compatible with each other....

Dressing Time the one with the compatibility system? If so, I do not think it'll cause issues.
My intention was to show a solution on NOT overwriting the file itself - so the only "issue" that could be happening is that yours may reset some values at most.
(Exclusivity or similar, on events, unsure)
If both are activated, mine should just require your file (due to the overwriting of BodyLocations.lua) - after that file is ran, mine can run.
(I use media\lua\shared\BodyLocationsTweaker.lua as the file, not media\lua\shared\NPCs\BodyLocations.lua, as such nothing should be overwritten.)

nimble spoke Oct 30, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

good

#

my idea for it was to really replace the vanilla version with something planned for multiple mods. As I said before I even used it in Dressing Time I sent it to the devs. Ideally I wouldn't have to keep it in my mod but things didn't go as planned

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

Perhaps the two systems could be consolidated with both your expertise?

errant meteor Oct 30, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

Can devs if they wanted to straight up nationalize mods?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

Nationalize? stressed

errant meteor Oct 30, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

I am sure the devs are eyeing EHE like a wolf is to a chicken

#

:]

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

Oh, nationalize confused me lol - you mean cannibalize or incorporate

opaque fiber Oct 30, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

errant meteor Can devs if they wanted to straight up nationalize mods?

thats pretty much what they did with towing

#

also, some of the mechanics (fishing etc) were initially made by turbo and rj when they were just modders

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

is the towing thing accurate?

#

I always hear different accounts

opaque fiber Oct 30, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

i'm pretty sure it got incorporated by the devs, yeah

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

Yeah but incorporate is specific in that the code is directly used afaik

#

Which is where the accounts differ

#

If I want a crafting recipe to give xp for two skills, how do I write that?

#

Does this look correct?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

Do any other recipes give multiple xps?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

I'm not sure.

#

Otherwise I'd have used them for reference.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Looks like it's using a lua function on the OnGiveXP part

#

you could probably write your own there

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Yes. I definitely know how to do that.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

There's a file called recipecode.lua

#

anything Recipe. related should be there

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

Thank you.

#

Do you know what filepath that would be found in?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:55 PM

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

Thank you :)

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

btw you split the skills with a ;

#

for skills required

#

according to the java

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

Does this mean that if I want to give more than 25 xp I'll need to code lua xp into my mod?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

sour island btw you split the skills with a `;`

Good catch, lifesaver.

#

This is my first time modding anything ever, so ... I'm basically monkey.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

if you want it to give an amount/types/combination of types different to what's there, yes

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

Like this?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:00 PM

    player:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Woodwork, 5);

I see, so for recipes I also need Lua.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

You can only have 1 category

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

Is this looking better?

#

Once I get the recipes down I'm move to lua

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

you can copy and paste the code here

```

you can use any code name for it's coloring

rose notch Oct 30, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

Is it possible to create special zombies? Ie exploding, etc

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

also for results or needs I think the default is 1 so you don't need to put =1

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

rose notch Is it possible to create special zombies? Ie exploding, etc

Yes.

rose notch Oct 30, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

Oooh

#

I have a lot of ideas

#

For both zombies and mutant things

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

you also need a comma after Mechanics=3

#

each new line or thing needs to end in a comma

#

that's why you use ; for the skills required

#

so it doesn't think it's a new thing to look at

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

Does this look correct?

#

I really appreciate your help.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

np

#

things like blow torches are different

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

Right, because it consumes units.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

I just made a recipe using them let me double check it actually works

#

ah nice I broke it

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

lmao

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

@craggy furnace don't beat me

#

propane use isn't actually done in recipes at all

#

so I don't know in the consumption would work with them if they're not drainable items

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

Seriously? Because I ripped this straight from vanilla code

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

and it was BlowTorch=15 ?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

#

here's an example

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

hmm

#

maybe the = works automatically for drainable items

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

That was my assumption.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

I gotta fix mine then

#

carry on

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

I use metalworking in most playthroughs, so the values make sense

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

It's just very odd cause you'd have to confirm it's drainable first

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

Do you know the ID for welding rods?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

It works here but it would be odd if you needed a recipe requiring multiple drainable items - I guess you'd have to count the units based on how many you want

#

Nope

#

WeldingRods

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

It wasn't autofilling so I was concerned

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

autofilling?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:20 PM

#

Well when I start to type an itemID, multiple items will show up

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:21 PM

#

in the debug spawner?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:21 PM

#

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

are you typing this inside of the vanilla files?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

No, I copy-pasted vanilla files into a mod folder

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

so, you just have to include your changes

#

otherwise your mod will overwrite the vanilla values ontop

#

and possibly mess up with other mods

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

They won't overwrite anything

#

They're completely seperate entities

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

I mean in game

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

Meaning?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

Vanilla Game
Other Mod
Your Mod

#

If this happens anything changed in the #2 will get overwritten

#

if all your doing is adding new items you shouldn't be including every other item

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

Oh, no no no

#

that screenshot is taken from a vanilla file

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:25 PM

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:25 PM

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:27 PM

Also some items

SFBakingTrayCornbread
SFChili
SaucepanFries
SFBeetPot
SFBeetSyrupPot

Have no rotten or fresh stats even though their pre-and/or-post states have.

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

tall pivot And do you know where I can find these so that I can paste and modify them?

uh... Icon is art compiled into the UI files

#

the other one is a 3D model

#

if you go to the vanilla model files you should find how it's defined

#

there's probably a .fbx file named wheel or what not

#

you don't have to modify the Ui files to add new icons though - only if you want ot change vanilla ones

#

to use your own icon though you need to use specific text

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

So if I want to pull this in photoshop

#

I just isolate it and save it as what, a pack or a png?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

png

#

I forget what the trick is

#

but you need to name the file and whats in the script similar but differently

#

"item_" goes in front

#

probably for the file

#

actually hold on

#

#

the file needs to be named Item_X

#

and then in the scripts you just use X

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:37 PM

#

Very helpful

#

Have you had this issue trying to pull up UI pngs?

sour island Oct 30, 2021, 6:39 PM

I'm prety sure those files are not pngs

#

did you use an extractor?

tall pivot Oct 30, 2021, 6:39 PM

Yeah

question on these procedural distribution tables. Is there a generic table that I can add an item too?
I.E. add sword to all ToolStore Parts, rather than add it with ToolStoreCarpentry, ToolStoreMetalwork, ToolStoreFarming, etc.

inserting a table inside items most probably breaks it, acutally inserting anything that isn't strictly an item ID and then a spawn value breaks it

#

what you're looking for in that case is append if I remember it correctly

Hey guys, short lua question; is it possible to call :size() on a table and use that in an if-statement?

#

I want to check if a table has any entries or if it's just an empty table.

#

but it seems to fail on the if-statement.

nimble spoke Oct 30, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

lua tables don't have size, you have to count through it, as they can have empty entries in between

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

What about the # symbol?

#

I thought that referenced its size.

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

@vestal umbra depends the kinds of table

#

#table will only work if you insert all your elements using table.insert(theTable, theValue)

#

but if you do stuff like table.spear = stuff, table.whatever = otherStuff, then #table won't work as intented

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

I am only using table.insert()

#

So it's all sequential.

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:01 PM

#

then #table should give you the size

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:01 PM

#

I imagine I can't iterate over a table the same way I could an array, right?

#

considering I'm receiving an error now for trying just that

#

I would have to work with pairs();

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:06 PM

I was talking with Chuck about it

#

I understand that it is logical to start at 1

#

but every other language in the world had already started at 0

#

so why start at 1 now?

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

well it's not logical, index starts at 0

#

if you start at 1, then it's not an index, it's just the number of elements

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

It is logical if you look at it from a human viewpoint.

#

A quantity of 0 denotes the absence of that thing.

#

When you count anything, you start counting from 1.

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:10 PM

even from a human viewpoints, that's not how human define indexes

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

When you count the amount of oranges that you have

#

do you start counting from 0 or from 1?

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:10 PM

think of an index as how much you have to add to the start of the array to get the next element

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

No I understand that

#

I am just saying

#

from a human viewpoint, it is more logical to start from 1

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

for the first element, you need to add 0, because it's at the begining

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

rather than 0.

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:11 PM

hehe if you want to believe that fine, but you're wrong

vestal umbra Oct 30, 2021, 10:11 PM

Okay so I have 100 elements in my list

#

which is 0-99

#

doesn't make sense.

#

1-100 would make more sense.

#

I agree that we should just stay at 0

#

but I understand why Lua wanted to start at 1.

weary matrix Oct 30, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

@vestal umbra it only makes more sense if you want the count of elements

but that's not what indexes are for

different things

Let's agree to disagree.

Currently trying to fetch all item categories. Essentially all the values found in IG_UI_EN.txt starting with IGUI_ItemCat_ would be pulled. Trying to avoid setting a static array since mods like better sorting changes those values and they can change in the future etc.

Anyone would have an idea where or how I can achiev this? Many thanks!

Okay, so I've added items in an items.txt file, how do I implement them into the game?

#

Do I need to create a lua for them?

weary matrix Oct 31, 2021, 12:44 AM

@tall pivot you need at least to do something with Distribution I guess

#

so your item is actually spawned somewhere

tall pivot Oct 31, 2021, 12:44 AM

I understand that, but I simply am unable to find the items in debug.

weary matrix Oct 31, 2021, 12:44 AM

#

or maybe try to spawn your items while in debug mode

#

oh

#

@tall pivot you can always try to make a simple mod that does like getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem("YourFullItemName")

#

see if it works

#

try with a normal item first to be sure the mod is working, like Base.Axe, then try with your own item name

When writing a repair script, how does the condition modifier work?

@tall pivot ```lua

{
if((double)Rand.Next(100) >= getChanceOfFail(inventoryitem, isogamecharacter, fixing, fixer))
{
double d = getCondRepaired(inventoryitem, isogamecharacter, fixing, fixer);
int i = inventoryitem.getConditionMax() - inventoryitem.getCondition();
Double double1 = new Double((double)i * (d / 100D));
int j = (int)Math.round(double1.doubleValue());
if(j == 0)
j = 1;
inventoryitem.setCondition(inventoryitem.getCondition() + j);
inventoryitem.setHaveBeenRepaired(inventoryitem.getHaveBeenRepaired() + 1);
} else
if(inventoryitem.getCondition() > 0 && Rand.Next(5) == 0)
{
inventoryitem.setCondition(inventoryitem.getCondition() - 1);
isogamecharacter.getEmitter().playSound("FixingItemFailed");
}
useFixer(isogamecharacter, fixer, inventoryitem);
if(fixing.getGlobalItem() != null)
useFixer(isogamecharacter, fixing.getGlobalItem(), inventoryitem);
addXp(isogamecharacter, fixer);
return inventoryitem;
}

                d += Math.min((j - fixerskill.getSkillLevel()) * 5, 25);
            else
                d -= (fixerskill.getSkillLevel() - j) * 15;

    }

I hate to nag you even more but are you sure about that? I just re-downloaded this mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1910606509

Using this website
https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/

Opened SFCookItems.txt and pic related is what I see.

SFChocolateWaferSticksJarOpen has DaysTotallyRotten but not SFChocolateWaferStick. When I tested with eris mod, the game just froze when I hovered over SFChocolateWaferStick. After I added the DaysTotallyRotten for it, it stopped.

I could assume that the website is downloading an old version of the mod (even though it tells me it isn't) but as far as I know it uses SteamCMD so it should get the latest version.

Can anyone with the game on Steam that uses Cooking Time do me a favour and check if SFChocolateWaferStick in SFCookItems.txt has a DaysTotallyRotten entry?

I was wondering if there is a way to add 1 modded item into the game that has several texture varients that you could find. Currently my plan for the dakimakura mod is for it to just be several individual items and was wondering if there was a better way to streamline it.

#

To go along with that question is it also possible to have said items be craftable and for the crafted item to have a texture varient that corresponds to the original textured item used. To explain, say I have items A, B and C and crafted items A, B and C. Is it possible to craft item B into crafted item B?

Hopefully that makes sense

#

vestal umbra Oct 31, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

Does anyone know or understand why this is happening?

#

It says that getWindowTo is attempting on null. The currentSquare has a set value.

#

I have tried looking up how to work with tables in Lua but I can't make sense of it. I stored all the values that support getWindowTo inside of a table, retrieved those values in order and now it seemingly doesn't work.

#

I don't understand what could be null in this

#

that's the Table I am iterating through

dawn shuttle Oct 31, 2021, 3:54 PM

#

Maybe try storing them using a named key like:
buildingWindows["north"] = currentSquare:GetN()

vestal umbra Oct 31, 2021, 3:54 PM

#

That would be impossible because the keys have to be unique.

#

Otherwise it would just overwrite the value if there were two northern windows.

dawn shuttle Oct 31, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

You can have them nested then like
buildingWindows["north"][iterator] = currentSquare:GetN()

vestal umbra Oct 31, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

Okay, but what is the error saying then? Maybe I misunderstand

#

I thought it was telling me that currentSquare is null

#

and that I am trying to call getWindowTo() on a null, which is impossible

dawn shuttle Oct 31, 2021, 3:56 PM

I would break on gridSquares to see what's inside, might have a ghost value in it

function ISInventoryPane:doContextualDblClick(item)

    -- Books
    if item:getCategory() == 'Literature' then
        ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.readItem(item, 0)
    end

    -- Pills
    if instanceof(item, 'Drainable') and luautils.stringStarts(item:getType(), 'Pills') then
        ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.takePill(item, 0)
    end

    -- Cigarettes
    if item:getName() == 'Cigarettes' then
        ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.eatItem(item, 1, 0)
    end

    -- Keys
    if item:getCategory() == 'Key' then
        local player = getPlayer()
        local containers = player:getInventory():getItemsFromCategory('Container')
        for i = 0, containers:size() - 1 do
            local container = containers:get(i)
            if player:isEquipped(container) and container:getType() == 'KeyRing' then
                container:getInventory():addItem(item)
                break
            end
        end
    end

    return origDoContextualDblClick(self, item);
end
``` so simple and so handy at the same time 😄

#

so now you can double click items in your inventory to either read a book, or take pills, or smoke a cigarette, or to put your keys in your keyring 😄

let me know if you can think of other stuff to add in there

Adding cocoa powder or cinnamon or hazelnut cream is not a problem. The error only appears with a single chocolate wafer stick outside the package.
Also this item doesn't have a fresh/rotten time, so the result is that adding stuff to the bowl of ice cream makes it last forever, while the base bowl of ice cream does have a fresh and rotten timer.

Was figuring out how to remove items from the loot tables when I came across RingoD123 post about loot distribution.
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/40201-my-health-books-wont-spawn-in-the-world/&tab=comments#comment-321275
He gives as an example of proper post 41.53 loot insert as

local function preDistributionMerge()
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.BookStoreBooks.items, "HBM.BookStrength1");
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.BookStoreBooks.items, 8);
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.LibraryBooks.items, "HBM.BookStrength1");
    table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list.LibraryBooks.items, 5);
end
Events.OnPreDistributionMerge.Add(preDistributionMerge);

I found it weird since I know no mods that do

Events.OnPreDistributionMerge.Add();

So I tested it on my own mod and.... it stopped working. Items didn't spawn.

I'm intrigued.

Anyhoo, if anyone here plays with Soul Filcher's excellent Learning Time and Cooking Time, I have something for you.

--If both cooking and learning time are activated, add missing recipes to Cooking Time book
if getActivatedMods():contains("CookingTime") and getActivatedMods():contains("LearningTime") then
    TweakItem("filcher.SFCookingGuide","TeachedRecipes","Make Cake Batter;Make Corn Batter;Make Corndog;Make Cupcake Batter;Make Bread Dough;Make Pie Dough;Make Pizza Dough;Make Tomato Sauce;Make Plain Bread Dough");
else end

--If both cooking and learning time are activated, remove learning time duplicate "complete cooking guide"
local function MergeCookingTimeCompleteGuides()
    if getActivatedMods():contains("CookingTime") and getActivatedMods():contains("LearningTime")
    then
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(SuburbsDistributions, "filcher.SFGuideCooking", nil, true);
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(ProceduralDistributions, "filcher.SFGuideCooking", nil, true);
    end
end

Events.OnPostDistributionMerge.Add(MergeCookingTimeCompleteGuides);

The TweakItem function requires the TweakItem API so if you are not comfortable with that, just remove it. What this does is make the "complete cooking guide" from Cooking Time complete and remove the "complete cooking guide" from Learning Time that isn't actually complete. Just tested in a bunch of libraries and it's working.

Anyone can use this in any way they want. Signing out for today though, it's already early in the morning.

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:37 AM

#

drifting ore RemoveItemFromDistribution(SMUI_AttachedWeaponDefinitions.handgunM9, "Pistol", ...

That isn't right. That is trying to remove an item from the distribution table, not the attachment (though if you don't mind it would accomplish the same purpose - make the attachment go away). Take a look at ADVANCED GEAR by Algol, I know he adds a bunch of attachments to bags. That might be helpful. Sorry that's all I can help now.

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:38 AM

Don't think so, that isn't the item's name. What mod is the item from?

#

sshark annd peach's military improvements

#

basically

#

they added the ability for zombies to spawn with M16s on their backs

#

i want to remove that

#

the m16 is the vanilla weapon

#

since i have Brita's

is there a function that i can just remove

remove assaultRifleM16OnBack

i want to remove Base.AssaultRifle

#

or is there no function

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:42 AM

#

So you can remove any item from spawning, but you need to know the full item name.

Let me give you an example. If I wanted to remove all the "laser" attachments from the base game, the code would look like this:

local function RemoveWeaponAttachment()
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(SuburbsDistributions, "Base.Laser", nil, true);
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(ProceduralDistributions, "Base.Laser", nil, true);
    end
end

---At the bottom of your .lua file

Events.OnPostDistributionMerge.Add(RemoveWeaponAttachment);

drifting ore Nov 1, 2021, 6:42 AM

#

hmmm

#

so i basically create my won function

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

What the local function named "RemoveWeaponAttachment" does is go in SuburbsDIstribution table and the ProceduralDistributions table and remove the item Base.Laser.

At the end of the file we add the "trigger".

#

Yeah.

drifting ore Nov 1, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

thing is

#

Brita's mod already does that

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

But the image you are showing, that is not an item.

drifting ore Nov 1, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

but i still see the vanilla weapon spawning

I don't believe that's how you remove items currently. I didn't try with hat syntax, but I know it's old because the [1] refer all loot tables and AFAIK that changed.

Weapon Attachments are items. Items are either in Suburb or Procedural distributions AFAIK.

thats it

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:49 AM

Does Brita add a "Events.OnPostDistributionMerge.Add" at the end of the file? Did you try adding the "Base." before "assaultrifle"?

If either fails, why not just commend out the weapons = { "Base.AssaultRifle}
?

What I mean is, write the function to remove it and try and see if it appears on zombies. AFAIK zombies are part of SuburbDistribution.

aight

lemme see if it works

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 6:53 AM

#

But I can be wrong.

drifting ore Nov 1, 2021, 6:53 AM

#

i have a feeling that attached weapons follow a different set of rules

#

because procedural and suburbs influences their inventory

#

not whats on them

#

yea nope

#

its still spawning @little vessel

#

yeap still spawnin

#

so i guess this kinda confirms that attached weapons have a different spawn as compared to distribution tables

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

Then you are right and it's following a different set of rules. More or less.
That table still has a name, I think, in the top of the file. Using Snake's Loot Zeta as an example, I think the code to remove would be

local function RemoveWeaponAttachment()
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(LZTable, "Base.AssaultRifle", nil, true);
        RemoveItemFromDistribution(LZTable, "Base.AssaultRifle", nil, true);
    end
end

But I can't confirm it because that's unknown territory for me.

drifting ore Nov 1, 2021, 7:02 AM

whats LZ table

little vessel Nov 1, 2021, 7:03 AM

I feel like people might be unaware that there is a PZ wiki already that could serve as a means of hosting modding guides and the like?

My only misgiving is that I'm not sure if people should be putting a lot of effort into writing guides given that PZ itself isn't stable, but that's just my own fussy pessimism.

#pzwiki_editing

#

But I can't really think of a better place, offhand, to amalgamate that stuff, especially given that it's "in house" so to speak?

pearl prism Nov 2, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

lilac rose It "shader = vehicle_norandom_multiuv,"

make sure the rust texture is in the right folder "media\textures\Vehicles" and not just in "media\textures" and see if the link is right in your script " textureRust = Vehicles/YOUR_RUST,"

weary matrix Nov 2, 2021, 5:05 PM

@willow estuary yeah I know about the wiki, but it seems it's not really maintained. Also it's more focused on the game itself rather than modding, mapping and modeling

That's just a product of what people choose to do with it?

Not sure, I made sure the clips were balanced before adding them in game.
This is purely a guess after triggering the shocked sounds so many times to try get video clips of it but I think the weird panning is caused by turning your character mid sound, like the sound doesn't move with your character so turning in game away from the sound origin causes it sound like it's coming from a different direction I guess?

Personal opinion: Whatever would be the easiest to find and use I would assume.
As I mostly reference the pinned messages here, I would consider it an acceptable place.
Alternatively, if it's relatively long to explain here and/or multiples at once, a standalone mod with "example mods" inside - and pinned here - would also be easy to find and use.
Since however there's no "Example Mod" tag or similar, this could without a pin - go "lost" relatively easily I think. 👀

sour island Nov 2, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

I was just thinking a more standard -- "this is how to overwrite" but also more shout-outs/heads up to frameworks would help alot of modders. I wouldn't say it has to be a "guide" as so much just well documented.

#

For example, things like the more skills system or recently mentioned bodylocationTweaker.

#

Specifically, it sounded like two people wrote the same framework system or atleast similar enough.

#

I've written stuff that I realize other people have done or was buried away in the source.

#

For example, there's a few Utility files full of functions.

#

I have a few complicated functions that I would think are useful, but I don't think it should be its own mod necessarily.

👋 @sour island

Specifically, it sounded like two people wrote the same framework system or atleast similar enough
In that case, one was part of a mod that adds things and the talk was about having the devs implement it into the base game (the extra functions added to the file) - removing the need of rewriting/changing the base files (could've worked as a framework for compatbility though on it's own, providing pretty much the same effects, if it weren't adding other things.)
The other one the "BodyLocation Tweaker" framework was intended - mainly - as a means to show that it's possible - albeit probably not ideal - to modify it without actually overwriting the file in question. (There's no proper get/unset methods by the base game, but can be achieved via the use of getClassFieldVal(object, getClassField(object, index))) Though it could be used as a dependency if one doesn't want to re-write it for his own mod so to say.
I've written stuff that I realize other people have done or was buried away in the source.
For example, there's a few Utility files full of functions.
I have a few complicated functions that I would think are useful, but I don't think it should be its own mod necessarily.
Sounds nice - no matter how you decide to share it (either as a mod "example collection", or elsewhere) I'd be interested at the very least, so do let us know! 😁
Alternatively IIRC there's a Tutorials & Resources topic on the indiestone's forum, which could also be a good spot for such information (Even if not a guide/tutorial as is - it could be a "resource" so to say, in my opinion, so it would fit.)

sour island Nov 2, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

I honestly forget the forums exsist.

#

But good points overall, I didn't catch the distinction between the framework examples regarding body locations.

exotic ember Nov 3, 2021, 10:48 AM

Well there was one mod in particular that I was thinking about called True Music. Might be familiar with the author, IrBuS or something like that.

The mod allows you to add your own MP3s but of course youre dumping them into a particular workshop folder and using the attached .exe to actually add the music in game.

That would be sweet to have on multiplayer but of course, im assuming that will definitely require a lil more than tweaks to make multiplayer?
