Any clue where I could find Zomboid version 37.13?

gusty crystal
#

Does anyone know if a mod which allows the player to carry 2 items on their back instead of one is possible?

drifting ore
gusty crystal
#

Does the mod allow for an extra weapon, or just smaller items like water bottles, etc?

drifting ore
gusty crystal
#

So is there anyway to actually make a mod that allows for an extra weapon to be attached to the players back, instead of them just being able to only carry 1?

nice, will do

weary matrix
#

Silly question, but in the context of Zomboid, are all Lua tables KahluaTables?

quasi geode
#

yes

weary matrix
#

thanks @quasi geode !

#

@quasi geode would you agree about reviewing what I wrote about each event? I made some JSON files with all the event descriptions and parameters so no need to visit each event page

#

I guess most of them are OK, but sometimes it was more like guesswork

#

Don't worry if you're not willing to do it, but in that case could you recommend someone who's qualified to do it? 😅

trim tartan
#

this is probably one of the most asked questions but how do I convert my models made in blender into the zomboid .x file typew

weary matrix
#

@trim tartan that would be a question better asked in the #modeling channel

#

@trim tartan but isn't Zomboid handling .fbx as well now?

trim tartan
#

is it?

weary matrix
#

@trim tartan I can find plenty of those: media/models_X/WorldItems/Marinara.FBX

#

@quasi geode well if you can just review the stuff you already know about that'd be something already! Should I send you the link in DM so you can check it when you have time?

quasi geode
#

sure

weary matrix
#

some descriptions are still missing though, but I should finish pretty soon

#

it should be easier now that I finished like 99% of the events parameters

sour island
#

Does anyone know if items used for campfire fuel has to be under Base?

#

Hm importing base seems to work

#

hmm works for 1 set of items but not the other

#

please PZ don't do this to me on something that should take 5 minutes

So having two sets between mods breaks the first for some reason

#

Is it somehow possible to add this trimchoices in a "non destructive" way?
I want to add my own hairs to the vanilla hairs for trim choices, but i dont overwrite them as "fluffy hairs" already changes that alot and i want to make them booth compatible.

#

Something like with LUA when you add stuff to the distribution table

#

Alternative i could just copy the fluffyhair Hairstyles settings and add my changes for the additional mod. But that is not the elegant way i guess 😄

thin hornet
#

@low yarrow maybe something like this

# 
local allMaleHairStyle = getHairStylesInstance():getAllMaleStyles()
for i=0, allMaleHairStyle:size()-1 do

    ---@type HairStyle
    local hairstyle = allMaleHairStyle:get(i)
    hairstyle.trimChoices:add("MyTrimChoice")

end
# 
---@return HairStyles
function getHairStylesInstance() end

---@param arg0 boolean maybe true false for the gender
---@return ArrayList|Unknown
function getAllHairStyles(boolean) end

---@return ArrayList|Unknown
function getAllBeardStyles() end
low yarrow
thin hornet
#

.trimChoices is an ArrayList containing string so you could add, remove at will

#

idk anything about hair but might be worth fiddling around with this

low yarrow
#

Yep i will play around with it and ask further questions if needed. Thanks 😄

thin hornet
#

can always have a look at the java files and see how it works exactly

low yarrow
#

I actually do have still the java/coder enviroment setup for PZ on my pc. But its all spanish to me 😄

thin hornet
#

okay the boolean param is for female or male

#

getAllHairStyles() return male hairstyles
getAllHairStyles(true) return female hairstyles

# 
--- Get a specific hairstyle
local hairstyle1 = getHairStylesInstance():FindMaleStyle("HairStyleName")
local hairstyle2 = getHairStylesInstance():FindFemaleStyle("HairStyleName")

--- Add trim choice
hairstyle1.trimChoices:add("MyTrimChoice")

-- Get trim choice
local hairStyle = playerObj:isFemale() and getHairStylesInstance():FindFemaleStyle("MyTrimChoice") or getHairStylesInstance():FindMaleStyle("MyTrimChoice")
local hairStyleName = hairStyle:getName()

-- Set Hair Model
playerObj:getHumanVisual():setHairModel(hairStyleName );
playerObj:resetModel()
playerObj:resetHairGrowingTime()
triggerEvent("OnClothingUpdated", playerObj)

--- Change color
playerObj:getHumanVisual():setHairColor(ImmutableColor.new(red, green, blue));
playerObj:resetModel()
sendVisual(playerObj);
triggerEvent("OnClothingUpdated", playerObj)

(I.e hearing and seeing things) and maybe a bipolar trait (I.e you get depressed for a week then really anoxius for a week and yes i know thats not fully what bipolar iis but it can make you very nevous and jiggry and not be able to sleep) i'd enjoy so

surviveing as me is hard enough but lets make it harder

Yea i have no idea what i am doing. I assume its not that easy 😄

At least they wont shop up ingame when i do that

Not necessary add lua/client/, the source path is in client (require will depend on the side you are working on)

low yarrow

Alright.
I leave it away then. 👍

#

Hello, sorry for another probably stupid question. I'm making some additions and edits in the Java code and I've run into something I'm not sure how it is done in Project Zomboid. I'm used to some languges/other game engines having functions called process() or similar, which means it's stuff that runs every time. How can I achieve something like this in PZ, aka how can I achieve a function that runs while the game is running basically? (for example, in order to have a variable progress over time, something that is achieved by hunger in game, though im not sure how it could be repeated)

ruby urchin
#

You mean like a loop?

tired charm
ruby urchin
#

You can use OnTick event


Events.OnTick.Add(function()
    if Contiditon then
        ...
    else
        Events.OnTick.Remove()
    end
end)
#

this make a new thread, so the game should be not affected too much depending on what you want to do

tired charm
#

@ruby urchin thank you!

#

So basically I can call it from a function in Java and it will constantly run as long as the condition is true right?

#

Or is it a function by its own?

balmy valve
#

Hey anyone know which Shark on here is the EHE shark?

#

I had some questions about their dialogue

ruby urchin
tired charm
#

Alright, so I go on defining a function which is called, for example

Events.OnTick.Add(foo()) ?

ruby urchin
#

Yeah, absolutely valid

tired charm
#

Alright, thank you a lot

#

(Do I still have to call it though or does it on its own with the OnTick?)

dry chasm
# 
--Lua
local function foo(arg1, arg2)
  -- your function's content
end

Events.OnTick.Add(foo) -- add your function to it.

Passing anonymous functions in can cause issues with reloading the file, whereas defining it prior in a local and passing it in does not.
(Should not cause issues if NOT reloading the file though)

dry chasm
#

So you do not (in this case) have to trigger the event yourself via a call

This is my currently edited function, for example. It basically cancels any damage to the barricade on zombies hit if it has not been hit before by a certain amount of time. I now need a way to reset it after a certain amount of time. Theorically, with this, 1/2 zombies should never be able to deal damages to barricades and such, but a large amount could.

Regarding modding yeah I understand, but I was checking this mostly because I didn't find another way to do it through Lua

forget me: (optional) Place vinyl cover photos in TCVinylplayer folder in jpg format.
Trust the mod author more than me xD

#

Sorry if this is the wrong place but can anyone help me try and figure out why I am not finding some modded items in my game (from a mod i downloaded)... I opened the LUA and found this

insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["GigamartBottles"].items, bb_Botles_1) -- grocery shelves / gigamart shelves / generalstore
insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["GigamartPots"].items, bb_Botles_01); -- housewarestore
insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["SportStoragePaddles"].items, bb_Botles_3); -- sportstore shelves
insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["SportStorageHelmets"].items, bb_Botles_2); -- sportstorage shelves
insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["CampingStoreGear"].items, bb_Botles_2); -- camping shelves

But what does this actually mean?

willow estuary
#

If that's how that mod has it's item spawning set up, then those items won't spawn as the table inserts are incomplete and missing the spawn chances.

ruby urchin
#

I'm not very relationed to the distribution, but it should not be table.insert()?

willow estuary
#

Huh, missed that, but it might be that insertTable has the same functionality? Or it's a custom function. Maybe the custom function is setting the spawn chances then?

ruby urchin
#

Since I using lua, i have never seen it, not even in newer versions

#

and apparently it is not found as a global variable _G

willow estuary
#

Yeah, I can only speculate given that it's a snippet sans the rest of the code in the mod, but it looks like either:
1 - The mod author misunderstood how to do table inserts for item spawning
or
2 - They have custom code they use to insert the items into the tables via a insertTable function?

ruby urchin
#

Yeah, probably the first, I don't understand what other use you would give to a function that just works to insert elements to a table

ancient blaze
#

Like this for example?

#

--["all"]["crate"]
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyYellow");
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, 0.1);
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyRed");
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, 0.1);
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyPurple");
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, 0.1);
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyOrange");
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, 0.1);
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyGreen");
insertTable(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items, 0.1);

#

It's just weird because I've got loot set to high and this save is like 40 hours long and I've not seen a single one of these items

#

I've found other things from this mod although rarely just this particular item nowhere

#

Anyone knows how to check the difference between ZombRand and a variable?

To try and explain, the code is currently like this:

ZombRand(100) <= self.baseChance then
success
else
failure

What I want to do is implement "critical failure" and degrees of success according to the difference between ZombRand and baseChance. Like:

Critical failure (difference between ZombRand and BaseChance is more than 30)

Complete failure (difference between ZombRand and BaseChance is more than 20 but less than 30)

Partial failure (difference between ZombRand and BaseChance is more than 10 but less than 20)

Partial success (difference between ZombRand and BaseChance is more than +10 but less than +20)

Complete success (difference between ZombRand and BaseChance is more than +10 but less than +20)

#

And I have no idea how to do that because I never worked with ZombRand. The simple "success/failure" trigger currently works, but doesn't leave a lot of room for nuanced failures/successes.

ruby urchin
#

You mean something like this?

local random = ZombRand(100)
if random <= 20 then
...
elseif random > 20 and random <= 40 then
...
elseif random > 40 and random <= 60 then
...
elseif random > 60 and random <= 80 then
...
elseif random > 80 and random <= 100 then
...
end
little vessel
#

Maybe? The difference is that random already has a value (though I'm thinking of adding some randomness to it). So for example, the code is like this

local baseChance = 25
baseChance = baseChance + ( playerObj:getPerkLevel(Perks.Electricity) - 5) * 5

if ZombRand(100) <= self.baseChance then
success
else
failure
end

Lets say the player has a baseChance of 50 with this code. ZombRand rolls 70 when hes doing an action, resulting in a difference of 20 between baseChance and ZombRand. That would mean it's a Complete failure, rather than a critical one or a partial one.

ruby urchin
#

If i'm not wrong, you're try to do somthing like this?

local baseChance = 25
baseChance = baseChance + ( playerObj:getPerkLevel(Perks.Electricity) - 5) * 5

local difference = math.abs(ZombRand(100) - baseChance)
if  difference <= 10 then
...
elseif difference > 10 and difference <= 20 then
...
end

take it as a concept, i'm not really testing this

little vessel
#

Yes, you are right. That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

What is math.abs in this context?

ruby urchin
#

negative or positive, they will always be positive
|-20| = 20

#

I mean, the result always will be positive

little vessel

The guy who commissioned the mod is a great rimworld modder lol

craggy furnace

i am sure he had experience elsewhere

modders usually dont just mod one game if they can help it

lucid bone

@last ferry It's hardcoded in ItemContainer.java, the attribute is named Capacity. You could probably add a Lua event handler for OnFillContainer, from there you have access to the ItemContainer object, so you can propbably change the value

I want to make iron walls (like the ones in west point gun store) deconstructible by using a blowtorch.

"Build 41" mods

#

are compatible

#

with the game fully right

willow estuary

Build 41 mods should be compatible with Build 41/IWBUMS, but:

  • that doesn't mean that might not conflict with other Build 41 mods.
  • that doesn't guarantee that they've been updated to the most recent updates of Build 41, although not all mods require updating to maintain compatibility with the Build 41 updates. But there are multiple instances where a mod that has been impacted by the build 41 updates either hasn't been updated yet; the mod author has decided to wait for build 41 is stable before updating; or the mod author has abandoned it.

on filibusters car mod, does it add vehicles that have lightbars that play music instead of sirens?

#

I downloaded a few car mods, and this one was who I expected was responsible

#

Anyone know if thats a case?

And if so an alternative broad mod that DOESNT add that function to normal cars

Ok so, i have a question noone maybe able to answer exept the developers. Is it possible to define another kind of Liquid source? I know theres some Watersource but i like to add bottles (wine, vodka,whiske) as source of Liquid that can be filled in glasses.

Right now i made shots of vodka and whiskey that one can drink with a own 3d object and all that, but i would love to refill those with bottles

anyone know if the zupercart mod is broken?>

#

I never found any carts when I tried it and im seeing mixed comments on the steam page

weary matrix
#

@undone crag i knew that, but had no idea the change on steam would not update my local copy prior to publishing. It's a bug

#

@hot patrol well now that i know about it it won't happem again

hot patrol
weary matrix
#

@hot patrol also the proper fix would be to fix the bug that doesn't update the local description from steam workshop prior to publishing. Eventually stopping on the way stating there's is a discrepancy between the two, so you have a chance to catch the problem before it's too late

#

and it IS really a bug cause you know:

   public boolean SubmitWorkshopItem(SteamWorkshopItem var1) {
      if (var1.getID() != null && SteamUtils.isValidSteamID(var1.getID())) {
         long var2 = SteamUtils.convertStringToSteamID(var1.getID());
         if (!this.n_StartItemUpdate(var2)) {
            return false;
         } else if (!this.n_SetItemTitle(var1.getTitle())) {
            return false;
         } else if (!this.n_SetItemDescription(var1.getSubmitDescription())) {
            return false;
         } else {
            int var4 = var1.getVisibilityInteger();
            if ("Mod Template".equals(var1.getTitle())) {
               var4 = 2;
            }

            if (!this.n_SetItemVisibility(var4)) {
               return false;
            } else {
               if (!this.n_SetItemTags(var1.getSubmitTags())) {
               }

               if (!this.n_SetItemContent(var1.getContentFolder())) {
                  return false;
               } else if (!this.n_SetItemPreview(var1.getPreviewImage())) {
                  return false;
               } else {
                  return this.n_SubmitItemUpdate(var1.getChangeNote());
               }
            }
         }
      } else {
         throw new RuntimeException("workshop ID is required");
      }

this is part of zomboid codebase

#

Ah, I was just about to question if it was a bug, lol.

see the line: } else if (!this.n_SetItemDescription(var1.getSubmitDescription())) {, it shows they try to update the local copy from steam, but for some reason it's not working

ah

uhhhhhh

#

you already have it visually flying which is good

#

you could try to modify it's collision box

#

Also I noticed from the vehicle UI you're entity box is huge

#

This UI changes based on the collision box

austere pecan
#

Yes, but I have never had a clue to modify the collision box

Check F7

It opens the vehicle editor

When in game

I think you need debug mode on

Is it possible to put your menu item close to the top in context menu?

#

more specifically I would like to put a menu entry just after "Drop Corpse" menu entry

sour island

You'd have to rip apart the context menu in lua

weary matrix
#

yeah that's what I was afraid of 😕

sour island
#

Ideally there's a subfunction for adding in options that you can tap into rather than overwriting the entire thing

weary matrix
#

@sour island could be a nice thing to have in Community API maybe?

sour island

Would be yeah

#

Workshop may have something tbh

#

@sour island you mean there might be a mod already in steam workshop to do it?

Perhaps

Also it would be nice to have a method zombie.scripting.objects.Item.getEatType() to retrieve the value of the field eatType

tame mulch
#

Yeah, get field value by field name will be cool feature. Because get field values by index breaks every time when java class changed

weary matrix
#

oh yeah and that too 😅

#

thanks for mentioning it @tame mulch

quasi geode
# 
-- find the specific named field in a java class object
local function findField(object, field)
    local count = getNumClassFields(object)
    local i = 0
    while i < count do
        local f = getClassField(object, i)
        if tostring(f) == field then return f end
        i = i+1
    end
end

think this is what i was using previously to get it from its string name (calling tostring on the field object) so you dont have to rely on index numbers....pulled this from a test file i made years back, cant remember if there were any outstanding issues
but ya...having better way then iterating over all of them would be awesome

#

its just so hackish 😐

tame mulch

#

@quasi geode why a while loop? 😂

idk, could have been a for loop. dont ask me i wrote it ages ago and never really used it for anything? lol

theres also the possibility i was slightly inebriated when i wrote it 😅

well it's just that it adds two extra lines of code for no gain, and the whole function body is 7 lines

dark solar
#

it adds character you see

quasi geode
#

wasnt playing golf with it 😅

weary matrix
#

Here's mine in case anyone cares. Only difference is it returns the field value, not the field itself:

function getJavaField(object, fieldName)
    for i = 0, getNumClassFields(object) - 1 do
        local javaField = getClassField(object, i)
        if luautils.stringEnds(tostring(javaField), '.' .. fieldName) then
            return getClassFieldVal(object, javaField)
        end
    end
end```

Are they about missing vehicle distributions? Because, if that is the case, that's not so much an "error", despite the wording, as "developer nagging". The vanilla wrecks throw that message as well. They may barely be an "error" but they're absolutely inconsequential, and not responsible for the red square numbers.

Most motorcycles don't have any containers, so there's no need to make loot distro tables for them. The PZ vehicle loot code wasn't made for vehicles without containers, so it's "reminding" me that I "forgot" to make a distro table for those motorbikes.

anyone knows how to make a mod? because I wanna request a mod for coffee lovers trait adding tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, morning headaches, fatigue and unhappiness rising up if you dont get to drink one and the more coffee you take the happiness increases as well as making you more anxious, and drinking with cigarettes doubles the effect? if not, I need someone to teach me how to make it cuz I dont even know how to code

hey dudes i want to try and get into PZ modding. i have coding experience but haven't really used lua before. i kind of want to make a martial arts mod where you can beat up zombies and maybe grapple and throw them around and am wondering how feasible/difficult it would be

#

especially on the animation side of things

ruby urchin
#

Currently it's possible add animations under certain conditions, but you can't get clean animations , you would have to do everything from scratch

#

and I'm not talking about animation about x and y axes movement, you need make turns, translations, etc, obviously if you want something well polished

@light jackal I have no modded the game yets so i don't know much. (I'd need to find the file placements to help you more) but if you know where to find the smoker text files then you can edit that to coffee i'd have to look around in the code thought but you have to use the smoker files in order to make this happen.

#

You basely want to copy those files and edit them to coffee thankfuly the devs have made them text files and not code so it should be easy.

#

also i'd say don't make your mod so complex but i think a good mod to start with is a depression mod for me. you can make your coffee mod but i basely want a mod were you have to take them for your depression.

#

I want such mod so i can play as my self better

#

i'll go ahead and see how its set up for modding it should be a pretty simple mod but i have to get in there and do some digging

I'm actually curious how difficult it is

At least for a game like this one

Depends on what it is

#

Changing the stats of an item or adding something like food is pretty easy aside from the graphics

#

Then its spikes in difficulty with clothing and cars and such since they require making models and code

weary matrix
#

@marsh beacon well, for the few mods I made, it always starts like: Oh this should be easy I should be done in a day or two. End of first day I usually get the basic idea working, but then it usually takes me weeks to really finish it due to crazy corner cases etc

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.

I have a question. I was taking a deeper look in one of the mdos I want to use as "templates" and noticed that apparently (I'm not sure, hence why I'm asking) the moder is overwritting stuff in 2 files

#

that's defines.lua in the mod

#

I'm doing a good guess or I'm missing something?

#

the tooltips file has A LOT of tooltips, which leads me to believe it's also overwritting stuff to add like 2 lines for the mod itself

#

the mod supossedly is only to make items from stuff you gather from zombies, doesn't make any mention of being some sort of translation or affecting stats like the ones I've posted above

ruby urchin
#

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to explain, but the "overwriting" is a really bad practice

blazing radish
#

I don't know how to do a better description of my question, I guess I'll have to keep guessing on my own

#

😅

weary matrix
#

any clue how to know if you've been detected by a zombie?

Hey guys. Does anyone know how to display moveable item names (translated by base on your language option) in the contextmenu (the menu when you right-click)?
I have tried to use getText("itemname or moveable"); but it didn't work as you see in the screenshot.

unknown.png
ruby urchin
#

this it's just a reference, you need config that on the mod folder

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish not sure about the intent of the modder but looking at the defines.lua from vanilla yours is missing many stuff, and I see no reason to overwrite this table just to add entries to it. You can probably access the table directly from your mod and add what you need to add

blazing radish
#

I really dislike when a mod add stuff that isn't mentioned in the mod page...

winter swift
ruby urchin
weary matrix
#

@ruby urchin it does exist

# 
    Bakery_Sign = "Bakery Sign",
#

@winter swift I'm seeing this call in vanilla code:
getText("IGUI_Moveables_DoorBarricaded")

#

@winter swift so maybe try something like: getText("IGUI_Moveables_Bakery_Sign")

#

just doing guess work though 😂

#

or maybe just: getText("Moveables_Bakery_Sign")

ruby urchin
weary matrix
#

@ruby urchin not sure what you mean, Bakery_Sign is a real translation ID. Why shouldn't it work?

ruby urchin
weary matrix
#

@ruby urchin it feels like you're just mocking someone for asking a legitimate question, are you?

ruby urchin
#

I don't know what made you think that

weary matrix
#

nevermind, probably just me

#

it's not him, it's me who thinks that 😅

blazing radish
#

I think there is a kind of language barrier here

weary matrix
#

probably yeah 😅

Yeah, I'm not a native EN

Does anyone have a .png version of the item icon sheet for the game?

#

I had one but I can'f find it. 😛

winter swift

I searched from the original code, and it is Translator.getMoveableDisplayName("contextname")
e.g. Translator.getMoveableDisplayName("Bakery_Sign")

weary matrix
#

@winter swift ah good to know!

weary matrix
#

@zealous wing if you need the real tiles just use tileZed but not sure if you can export to png

Anybody ever think of making a mod that allows you to rotate placed items on the other axis? Like make them stand up

This would be great for further decorating

I needed the new mug textures. 😄

#

Also, the Wiki is hella out of date.

#

Unless they are refusing to update to B41 that is.

weary matrix
#

I'm forcing the update on them! 😂

#

oh and nearly all of them are documented in my wiki, even the deprecated ones

#

there's like 220 events total, the official wiki has around 80, of which half have no description or parameters

blazing radish
#

the deprecated are the ones with the line strike right?

weary matrix
#

yes

blazing radish
#

ah yes, dude doing god's work as usual

weary matrix
#

😂

#

the code examples are broken at the moment, I'm just trying to get rid of a mediawiki extensions by using my own css, but failing for now

#

any clue someone why my span tags are not interpreted properly?

blazing radish
#

I have zero knowlodge of "current" website structure or design

#

the last time I did I was fucking with java script, DREAMWEAVER and notepad for plain html

#

and some php + sql

weary matrix
#

HAH! Nevermind I found the way

#

@blazing radish haha dreamweaver

blazing radish
#

old ass stuff

#

flashbacks f using macromedia flash to do stickman fights

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish I just remember all the html crap it was generating 😂

#

all right, examples being updated now

blazing radish
#

😭

#

dude, thank you

#

what a great resource

#

and thank you for being so kind and nice while helping

#

really encourages to learn

#

you even added a link to the javadoc

weary matrix
#

😄

#

@blazing radish btw should the javadoc link open in a new browser tab?

blazing radish
#

nah

#

I think it's ok, you can always came back or opening ina new tab if you want after the frist time using it

#

just pressing control or mmb

weary matrix
#

not sure yet, will think about it

blazing radish
#

talking about mmb... why zomboid options doesn't support mouse buttons?

weary matrix
#

but usually it's better to open new tab when the link brings you to a new domain

blazing radish
#

uhmm well that's also true

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish I don't know, what should happen when you use mmb?

blazing radish
#

in game or in the website

#

in the website open a new tab, same as pressing control and doing a lmb

#

in game I haven't tried the button, but I've tried remapping some keys and the game doesn't recognize any mouse button

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish in game

blazing radish
#

when I can enter to the game I'm gonna try, idk why I forgot about its existence

#

maybe because I couldn't remap

weary matrix
#

ah true, I don't see a way to assign mouse buttons to something else

blazing radish
#

yeah doesn't do anything, which is very weird imho

#

I can't play unless I can make the mod, that's my motivation right now to keep reading

#

and I'm fucking dying to play

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish why can't you play?

blazing radish
#

because I want to play with my mod, before my decision I was like "this thing could be better if..." and stuff like that

weary matrix
#

oh I see

blazing radish
#

and the last time I've had th feeling I ened up creating mods for kensi, so I thought it would be a really good chance to start in zomboid

weary matrix
#

so what mod are you going to make?

blazing radish
#

something like this

#

I have avery similar idea already done in kenshi, but I want to pull off what I couldn't in kenshi

#

this is my mod in kenshi

weary matrix
#

guess you won't be playing for a while! 😂

blazing radish
#

I want to do "meditations" to get rid of stress, sadness and panic and those meditations also would unlock stuff

weary matrix
#

nice!

blazing radish
#

recipes in zomboid case

#

also extracting "chi" from dead bodies

#

or gathering yourself by very tiring meditaitons

#

this way you can condense it into 1 new ranged weapon and 2 melees

weary matrix
#

what about voodoo ? 😄

blazing radish
#

one for cqc and another like a staff

#

I don't know a lot of vodoo but I'm a sucker for alchemy related stuff

#

and also that whole qi/ki/chi/prana/vital force stuff

#

so I've mixed both

weary matrix
#

yay! 😄

blazing radish
#

I also want to give an use to jewlery

#

this way you can create special materials to create those melees

#

and weapons

#

and also do some "transmutation" stuff.. but banalchemy was too OP and broken, also it has that issue with the overwriting :/

#

and while I'ma sucker for that kind of fantasy, I'm also a massive sucker for balance

weary matrix
#

yeah me too

blazing radish
#

and those balance issues just ruined my playthough

weary matrix
#

that's why my spear traps are killing you if you walk on them 😂

blazing radish
#

lmao

#

😆

#

but makes sense

weary matrix
#

I think it does

#

why wouldn't you die if it kills zombie straight away

blazing radish
#

in banalchemy you generate katanas from kitchen knifes hunting nifes and 10 "zombie esscence"

#

and I thought it would come witha huge disvantage for me...

#

but no, nothing happened besides having a fuckingpristine katana in my hands

#

adn zombie esscence could be gathered withot any effort

weary matrix
#

yeah seems a little bit too easy to get the most powerful hand weapon

blazing radish
#

in my kenhsi mod doing "transmutations" will almost kill you of hunger

#

and also ytou cannot get too OP stuff

#

in facvt all my items sucks compared to vanilla items, but the convenience is "you can create it anywhere even if you don't have a base"

#

so people, like me, who do mostly solo runs and roleplay as nomad,

#

won't be missing core gameplay experiences

#

this is too off topic right?

weary matrix
#

we could switch to #pz_b42_chat if that makes you feel better 😅

blazing radish
#

mmm... well if that's the case I prefer to remain here if it doesn't cause any issues

#

😅

#

too much flood there and memes

weary matrix
#

heh no worries for me

#

still talking about designing a mod and gameplay so should be ok

blazing radish
#

ahah yeah, that's also true

#

anyways, I'll keep digging that mod..

#

but I don't know where to look for base stuff

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish but what about the ones you posted, or am I missing something?

blazing radish
#

for example, I want to know how I can use a golden ring and I cannot decide which file I must open to get the internal values of thos eitems

blazing radish
weary matrix
#

check in media/scripts?

blazing radish
#

is there too?

#

found it

weary matrix
#

check media/scripts/clothing/clothing_jewellery.txt maybe

blazing radish
#

yeah, im right there

#

I'm such an idiot ffs lmao

weary matrix
#

heh, don't be so harsh on yourself

blazing radish
#

that keeps me going too

#

I don't want to be an idiot forever, so I have to improve!

weary matrix
#

only way to improve is to make mistakes

blazing radish
#

that's my motto

weary matrix
#

or to learn from the mistakes of others, but it's more difficult for most people 😂

#

I found someone who's ok to make a 3d model of zombie guts, I want to make a sort of scarf out of it

blazing radish
#

I saw that conversatiopn earlier

#

I thought it would eb easier just usnng a tie or scarf wioth another texture

#

and you can use a regualr scarf or tie to make it

#

and a zombie body

#

to add balance it should decay much more faster than regular clothing

#

but IDK if that's possible

#

I have no clue on the limitations for modding this game... yet

weary matrix
#

that was the plan

#

well I could just force it to decay faster I guess

#

also I would have to add a sort of "freshness" indicator, the lowest the indicator so less it is effective

#

and also if it rains then it ruins the scarf

blazing radish
#

yeah

weary matrix
#

and if you run or attack and a zombie sees you doing it he will still go to you

blazing radish
#

that sounds complicated to make

#

wish you luck on that

weary matrix
#

I really don't think it is

blazing radish
#

no?

weary matrix
#

the only hard part I think is to make the zombie to ignore you or not properly

blazing radish
#

uhm...

#

a temporal "ghost"mode?

weary matrix
#

I could just do something like this: scarfItem:getModData().freshness = something

#

and act on it

#

temporal ghost mode but also per zombie

blazing radish
#

uhm that sounds much more complicated, but maybe the code for "active zombie chasing" has the clues you need

#

I'm just making up events and words because I think it must exist something like that

#

otherwise all zombies would get to you at the same time but that doesn't happen

weary matrix
#

I guess I have to meddle with AI State etc

#

which I have no idea how to do yet

#

the zombie AI is the only stuff that scares me, all the rest I'm pretty sure I can do it easily

blazing radish
#

everything sound terribly scary imho but I trust your knowledge

weary matrix
#

Nice, my new mod just made it to the second place on the list of most popular mods of the week on the workshop 😄

honest magnet
#

I've installed and activated the Cryogenic Winter mod

#

and there is still no winter.

#

Does this game not want me to start in winter or something?

dark solar
#

have you activated the Hard Mode version?

#

that is the only one which starts with snow

honest magnet
#

oh my god

#

Well the temperature works, at least.

dark solar
#

did that fix it?

honest magnet
#

No, I haven't went to menu yet.

dark solar
#

ah

honest magnet
#

I went out of the house and only the temperature works.

dark solar
#

yes, the snow only comes with hard mode :p

honest magnet
#

There's no snow.

unknown.png
#

I'll try enabling hard mode.

dark solar
#

yes

#

hard mode is the only one with snow :p

errant meteor
#

Bruh already playing with that mod lol, GL

honest magnet
#

Would stacking Hard Mode with the temperature setting set to High work?

dark solar
#

i altered it for the weather apparatus for Northwest province lol

honest magnet
#

The game just never wants me to start in winter.

#

So I went for cryogenic.

dark solar
#

it starts in july default

#

no changing that

Feeling drowsy in real life is not a good thing when you can be bitten by a zed from behind.

The jumpscare sound would be set so that your heart rate would reach a minimum 160bpm.

errant meteor
#

Coffee or a energy’s drink or get a jump scare 🙂

#

Hahahahaha

honest magnet
#

Also about my question before; if I enable Hard Mode but set the Temperature to Hot in the sandbox settings, would it stack?

dark solar
#

not sure, try it

errant meteor
#

Playing with fire

honest magnet
#

I would but if it doesn't and I accidentally made winter with the lowest temperature being 10°C, that means I have to re-enable all of my mods again.

#

As in, make a new world.

dark solar
#

thoguh keep in mind it wont snow if its above 32F. it will just be rain after that

honest magnet
#

Ahh okay.

#

I guess I won't mess with the settings, then.

errant meteor
#

@honest magnet there is a mod called dark world it would pair very good with the winter mod, showing a world darken by the frost

here a example

    action:setAnimVariable("LootPosition", "Low");
    action:setOverrideHandModels(nil, nil);
    print("start")

I'm still wondering whether to do it fragmented or just with callbacks

the spawner?

how do i use the cheat menu mod?

#

Are you trying to spawn an item you made?

#

Or just an item in game?

#

@sick loom Check the steam page, probably tell you what to do

#

Actually I think it does spawn in modded items

i got it, and AAAA no stem

If you want to use mods with PZ, I strongly recommend seeing about getting a refund from GOG and buying the steam version.
99.9999% of mods are on steam, and steam automatically updates mods.
If your mods aren't updated, then the updates to project zomboid itself will break the mods.
Also any hotfixes and other updates to mods, and a lot of those are crucial, will not be automatically applied.
I don't know why people buy the non-steam version, but it's kinda useless if you want to us emods.

sick loom
#

i diddnt get gog.

#

i dont do third party.

willow estuary
#

If... ....you are using a pirated or other "third party" source of PZ, you're in the same boat?

#

If you want to use mods in a convenient and reliable manner, the steam version is really the only practical solution.

rose notch
#

Yeah

sick loom
#

i bought from the site.

willow estuary
#

The site leads to the link to buy from steam?

sick loom
#

no...?

willow estuary
#

So, good news you must have bought the steam version w.o realizing it?

sick loom
#

no, because i dont use steam.

#

and ill cancell the transaction if i find out if it was on steam.

So I am trying to bodge together some lua that will check to see if an item is raw before allowing a recipe to execute.
--Check to see if Bread Dough is raw or not function Recipe.OnTest.BreadDough(sourceItem, result) if sourceItem:getFullType() == "AAApoc.BreadDough" then return sourceItem:isCooked() == false end return true end
My monkey brain can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm probably forgetting something above.

blazing radish
#

question: there is a restriction on how many items I can use for a recipe?

hollow shadow
#

but you can only get 1 result without adding some code

blazing radish
#

that's what I want

#

I want a bunch of materials to create something

#

that way I can balance it arounf that instead needing specific tools or"workstations" (IDK if that's a thing here)

hollow shadow
#

by writing "keep" infront of the ingredient

blazing radish
#

I see

hollow shadow
hollow shadow
# blazing radish I see

theres some additional things like AnimNode and Sound if you want to add sounds or animations to the crafting process

blazing radish
#

and the name of the animation are on the anims_X folder?

#

like, those .X files

#

I need to use those names or I need tto use some other internal name?

willow estuary
hollow shadow
hollow shadow
hollow shadow
willow estuary
#

Yeah, it will just use the default crafting animation.

#

In regards to the animations with recipes, I believe that some, but not all, of the animations will work with crafting? I remember in some cases having to try a couple before I found one that worked.

blazing radish
#

with dynamic you mean that you can have multiple possible tools or materials to make the same recipe?

#

without duplicating the recipe?

hollow shadow
#

i dont remember if you can make your own tho

willow estuary
#

Well, that is possible too, but I mean that the models the character uses during the crafting animation can be determined by which, of multiple possible, items are used for the recipe.

willow estuary

#

Question - What needs in ItemTweak and vehicleAPI? Maybe you can't change something or take params. Or do specific things with it

  • Now this stuff Uses the Item Tags and Not The Item Names, you follow @hollow shadow ?
hollow shadow
#

yes

#

Nah, because [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Pliers] , the second version, willshould cover all items with either the tag Plier and Pliers

hollow shadow
#

oh wait now i get it

#

thanks my smol brain a bit bigger now :>

willow estuary
#

👍

blazing radish
#

the mod I'm using as a template is overwritting the whole "tooltips_en" to add a few lines

#

there is a way to add tooltips without ovberwriting the entire file?

#

I guess it should be with a lua script

#

(maybe I need to check more mods...)

blazing radish
#

another quesiton, is possible to add a new item to vanilla recipes without overwriting the recipe?

#

I want to add hydrogen peroxide to make a multipurpose antisepctic that also works like bleach

#

so I want to add it to the recipes for disinfectant and also bleach

#

😅

thick silo
#

Question for anyone who knows, it possible to assign a field in a java object (for example, the bRunning field in an IsoPlayer)? I know you can fetch it with getClassFieldVal, but I'm unsure as to how you'd go about actually modifying it.

willow estuary
blazing radish
#

but I don't wantto override it, otherwise it won't be compatible with other mods

#

I wanted to see if it was possible to add/injetct something into the vnailla recipe without overriding

#

but it's ok, if it's not possible I'll figure out something eventually

weary matrix
#

@thick silo I don't think you can, unless there's a setter for it in the class, like setYourField()

blazing radish
#

hey @weary matrix I wonder if you hae some resource to understand what the hell do things like "medical", "alwaysWelcomegift" or "eattype"?

#

in know they ar eboolean but I can't understand what they do

#

eattype for exmaple I think it uses the mesh you select there

weary matrix
#

@blazing radish only one I know is about eatType, most smokable items have eatType = "Cigarettes"

blazing radish
#

but medical apparently also affects some sort of poison value that doesn't show
