[austere quest]

Hey man! Did you find any list of working mods for 41.61mp ?

[atomic oyster]

There won't be any official posts really due to the fact that this update isn't official yet and most modders are waiting for the more stable update later this month or in Jan

There are mods that work well but the process of installing them via hosting requires some tinkering on where to place files

[weary matrix]

Any clue how to add new key bindings to this screen?

I found the place where they are defined, it's in lua/shared/keyBinding.lua but not sure how to add to it

oh but the keyBinding table is global so I can just add to it 😅

[austere quest]

Any link to guides regarding mods intallation for Dedicated Servers? Dont wanna be asking here things that pybly where asnwered already

[drifting ore]

Do none of the death sound mods work?

trying MGS death sounds and it was just silent

[mint sphinx]

how would you make a Moveable object there split it self op in (x/y) parts?

[dim geode]

good modding idea, being able to change global time settings for a time lapse. could make for interesting youtube content. thought this might be a thing in the cheatmenu mod but i wanted to throw this here and hear feedback about it

[drifting ore]

i think you can with cheat menu
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=499795221&searchtext=cheat+menu

[dim geode]

maybe you can with debug mode as well

[slow rock]

is there a mod to change sudden panic sound when u suddenly find zeds in a corner

thing kills my ears

[willow estuary]

It's a new channel, so people don't know to go there yet, but you can take all questions of that nature to the new #mod_support channel 🙂

[slow rock]

u can carry the parts to the area ure working on and then grab them both and place i guess?

[mint sphinx]

trying to mod a gameobject which is multiple tiles but cant seams to find out how to do that

[slow rock]

ah

[weary matrix]

@austere quest you should ask in #old_techsupport

so I found out how to add new keybinding to option menu, but when I try to change the keybinding for my new key, it keeps the old one. I guess this has to do with my Lua getting reloading when saving the options. So how do I save custom mod data? AFAIK getModData etc is not available until you actually start a game?

damn but that wouldn't solve my issue, mmm

[brittle jewel]

@weary matrix I think this is all I have for it in defecation. It's added after 'Zoom out'. I can change the keys without issue. I don't have this in a function or anything, it's just ran always when my mod is loaded.

--Menu keybind code
--We need to use the global keyBinding table, this stores all our binding values
local index = nil -- index will be the position we want to insert into the table
for i, b in ipairs(keyBinding) do
    --we need to find the index of the item we want to insert after
    if b.value == "Zoom out" then
        index = i
        break
    end
end

if index then --use index from above
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+1, {value = "DefecationStatus", key = 51})
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+2, {value = "DefecationStatus2", key = 52})

    local oldCreate = MainOptions.create

    function MainOptions:create()
        oldCreate(self)
    end
end

[quasi geode]

heh. that code looks familiar.

still working in newer builds?

[brittle jewel]

Yep! I knew I copied it from somewhere long ago.

Persists after game is quit, or even if the mod is unloaded/reloaded.

[quasi geode]

https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23576-lua-adding-custom-user-configurable-hotkeys/

probably there XD

its probably populated to a few different mods now though

orgm's version

-- Setup hotkey bindings
-- We need to use the global keyBinding table, this stores all our binding values
local index = nil -- index will be the position we want to insert into the table
for i,b in ipairs(keyBinding) do
    if b.value == "Equip/Unequip Stab weapon" then
        index = i -- found the index, set it and break from the loop
        break
    end
end

if index then
    -- we got a index, first lets insert our new entries
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+1, {value = "Equip/Unequip Pistol", key = 5})
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+2, {value = "Equip/Unequip Rifle", key = 6})
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+3, {value = "Equip/Unequip Shotgun", key = 7})
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+4, {value = "Reload Any Magazine", key = Keyboard.KEY_G })
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+5, {value = "Select Fire Toggle", key = Keyboard.KEY_Z })
    table.insert(keyBinding, index+6, {value = "Firearm Inspection Window", key = Keyboard.KEY_U })

end

lol

[brittle jewel]

Ah, that's where I got it from.

Probably not the best mod to be taking code from...

Err, still not exact. I'm not sure exactly where I got it from. It looks like a condensed version of yours. I don't think I modified much, but I've had it in there for years now.

[quasi geode]

ya i wrote that forum tutorial in 2018

seen it in a few mods though, so its been around a bit now XD

[mint sphinx]

by any chance have you work with moveable object ? like 2 tiles tables and how to make them ? ^^

[weary matrix]

@brittle jewel ah thanks, are you able to change the key binding in option menu with that code?

Hello @quasi geode 😉

[dim geode]

any reason why my modsa rent showing up when I select them and try to host a server?

all of them are 41.6 updated

[weary matrix]

@quasi geode Oh my, it seems whenever you press a key on main screen, Lua gets reloaded (like I have a print statement at global scope in a mod, and it prints the string for every key press

I just hope it's not the same in game 😂

[brittle jewel]

@weary matrix Yep I can change it with the menu options. 51 is comma by default and I tested by setting it to a numpad button. It saves after quitting the game, or even after deactivating and re-activating the mod.

[weary matrix]

@brittle jewel nice. I don't like to be hooking stuff in pz though, but I think I found a way without the hooking part

[brittle jewel]

Yeah, that's definitely never safe. I copied it years ago and never touched it again lol.

[weary matrix]

If I succeed I guess I'll add it to community API

[quasi geode]

lol i cant vouch for the behavior anymore i havent run it since b40

and reloading every keypress seems excessive 🤨

[weary matrix]

it is

not sure why it's happening

guess I should report it

also I should report the bug about the keyboard going crazy sometimes but it's hard to explain the bug, I'm tired of this one. Basically more than 50% of my character death are due to this bug

like you get too many zombies around you, you can escape by going left, so you press left, but the character is going the opposite direction, until you release the left key

[agile swallow]

Hey guys, I was wondering how do you turn on the sound visualization debug mode. I have debug mode enabled I just can't seem to find it.

[mint sphinx]

Also have huge problem with the ingame debug menu ^^

[drifting ore]

Do yall think some of the bigger mods like hydrocraft will add 3d models?

[keen creek]

i added several new locations, for some reason though both on my mini map and my map they dont show up at all, any idea how to fix?

[mint sphinx]

Don't know but only problem i have with hydrocraft is it broken for the new build and it's lag so m ch every time you open crafting window ^^

[weary matrix]

@mint sphinx to avoid this they would have to build the crafting window from a new thread but not sure you have access to threads from pzLua

[weary matrix]

Oh, my bad, I had a getKeyBinding() call in a OnKeyPressed event, which was doing the print, so no bug there 😅

[hollow shadow]

@weary matrix hey you got any idea what could be causing this error with my mod?

[drifting ore]

Would it be possible to make a workaround patch for guns not attracting zombies?
I dont know about modding zomboid, just barotrauma.
But could you have each gun shot call attractor like a silent car horn or something? Something we know does attract zombie in multiplayer right now.

[agile swallow]

Wait gunshots don't attract zombies right now?

[hollow shadow]

no xD

[agile swallow]

Bruh

[hollow shadow]

i already got aiming 5

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow can you show line 59 of crucibleCode.lua please?

[drifting ore]

ya its just rambo right now

[agile swallow]

I was wondering why the whole mall wasn't getting alerted when my friend and I re-enacted dawn of the dead at the big louisville mall.

[hollow shadow]

Its the cheatmenu mod. but it only happens when i have my scrap mods enabled

[weary matrix]

hold on

[drifting ore]

cheatmenu works
just dont spawn 3d entities like zeds or cars. It will crash your server

[hollow shadow]

Wait i tihnk it might be becouse i set the item types to "Tool" which doesnt exist?

[teal forum]

Do you guys have problems too with Apocalypse Wheelz in MP ?

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow which version of zomboid?

[teal forum]

(In 41.61)

[hollow shadow]

^^

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow do you have the code somewhere I can see it?

[hollow shadow]

yeah ill try to dig it up

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow you're not calling any function/method called lower() right?

[hollow shadow]

nah i used grepwin to search my mod but only found the script thing for "lowerchanceonein" which shouldnt cause it

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow mmm you do have some calls to string.lower() in there

[hollow shadow]

W hat

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow Exception thrown java.lang.RuntimeException: missing argument #1 to 'lower'

I guess your call to getDisplayName() is not working properly?

or maybe you're calling it on an object that doesn't have it?

@hollow shadow try to do something like this:

crucibleCore.sort(function (a, b) print("DEBUG",a:getDisplayName(),b:getDisplayName()); return string.lower(a:getDisplayName()) < string.lower(b:getDisplayName()) end)```

[hollow shadow]

ok

[weary matrix]

if everything looks fine, then also try to print the type of a and b

[hollow shadow]

._.

i did put the debug in my oncreate.lua

[mint sphinx]

but kind of sad when it freezing for like 5-10 sec ^^

[weary matrix]

@mint sphinx yeah it is 😦

[weary matrix]

so what does debug is showing?

[hollow shadow]

where do i look xD

[weary matrix]

in your console.txt

%USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\console.txt

[hollow shadow]

yeah what do i search

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow the lines you added to oncreate(), there should be DEBUG in the lines

[hollow shadow]

Hmm only vanilla debugs in there

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow why did you move the lines to oncreate? What I gave you was not working?

[hollow shadow]

OH

Wait

I fixed it....

So

[weary matrix]

😄

[hollow shadow]

DOnt have an item that has 5.5 capacity

gmae doesnt like dat

5 or 6 is ok

co i need your help again

How do i make it so only specific items are allowed in my container

I saw the keyring has "Onlyacceptcategory"

but i think its coded to only work for keyring

Im making a toolbelt and everything that is considered a tool should be able to fit inside it.

but i want to make it balanced so people dont put metal sheets or 20 ammoboxes in it

[keen creek]

anybody able to help?

[hollow shadow]

Maybe

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow try to call setOnlyAcceptCategory on your container

[hollow shadow]

Like, in the script?

[weary matrix]

yeah, like yourContainer:setOnlyAcceptCategory("Some Category")

[hollow shadow]

[weary matrix]

oh

[hollow shadow]

Wait do i need to write code or something

[weary matrix]

I think so

[hollow shadow]

._.

I dont know how to do any coding ,_,

[weary matrix]

but I have no idea really, but at least ItemContainer has a method setOnlyAcceptCategory

[drifting ore]

Im having trouble itelling if guns are just really quiet to zeds or if they are just deaf to most things

[winter bolt]

if its a method you can call then you might just be able to set the variable in the item script

maybe try "OnlyAcceptCategory"?

[hollow shadow]

Guns dont make noise in b41.61 multiplayer

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow oh ok so yes try it in script

[hollow shadow]

Thats what i did

but didnt work

[hollow shadow]

ok 1 sec

[keen creek]

any idea why after adding new map locations the map would just be white and nothing would show on it?

[drifting ore]

Would this be fixable in a mod or would we need to wait for a patch?

[winter bolt]

like specifically "OnlyAcceptCategory" or did you do this

maybe try removing the "set"

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow yeah WITHOUT the set as suggested by @winter bolt

[hollow shadow]

I tried OnlyAcceptCategory yesterday multiple times just like the keyring script

[winter bolt]

ohh

hmm

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow what category did you put?

[hollow shadow]

Tool

[winter bolt]

the code wouldnt be difficult assuming the method that co posted is correct, i'm just gonna check how to grab an item in a lua file

[drifting ore]

So for Authentic Z mod, it appears some of the bags use the 3d model when you wear them on the back. But you are unable to place them even though they look exactly like the bags you can place.

Any idea if I can remove the bags that do not have 3d models associated with them?

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow so Tool is a DisplayCategory, not a category unfortunately

    {
        DisplayCategory = Security,
        Weight  =   0,
        Type    =   Key,
        DisplayName =   House Key,
        Icon    =   Key1,
        MetalValue = 5,
        WorldStaticModel = Key,
    }

[hollow shadow]

Hmm

wait so i cant actually use this to get only tools in it?

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow problem is most tool have a category "Normal"

[hollow shadow]

;-;

most items prolly

[winter bolt]

you can change the categories easily

[weary matrix]

like this for example:

    {
        DisplayCategory = Tool,
        Weight  =   0.2,
        Type    =   Normal,
        DisplayName =   Paint Brush,
        Icon    =   Paintbrush,
        StaticModel = PaintBrush,
        WorldStaticModel = PaintBrush_Ground,
    }

[hollow shadow]

Yeah but i would have to overwrite vanilla items

[winter bolt]

the item tweaker mod lets you do it without overwriting them

[hollow shadow]

And i would have to create a new category and idk if that works

[winter bolt]

wait shit yeah idk if you can change the actual category itself

[hollow shadow]

never used that before 🤔

[winter bolt]

i can just send you the code you'd need to put in

worth a try

[hollow shadow]

yeah theres no tool category

[north condor]

Is there a mod that adds more clothing items?

[winter bolt]

there are a couple like Clothes box, soul filcher's dressing time

im working on one but its not released

[north condor]

Ohhh neat!

Do you know if they work with MP?

[winter bolt]

yeah everything that adds new items works fine

or clothes at least

[north condor]

So just another question about modding MP, as long as mod adds new items (Guns, cloth, cars etc) it's p safe to use? As long as they dont overwrite vanilla items

[winter bolt]

it depends on the gun mod but i think some of them work?

britas does

[north condor]

Oh no was just an example

Not a real fan of guns in this game lol

[winter bolt]

stuff that overwrites items is probably fine too

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow @winter bolt there's also a keyword like AcceptItemFunction but not sure how to use it

[winter bolt]

is it a method or?

[weary matrix]

a keyword that should be accepted in a script file

not sure what you're supposed to use as argument though

[winter bolt]

hmm

not sure but it might accept the like

tags for tools

[hollow shadow]

it would be cool if it was somehow possible to make it check for display category instead of type

[winter bolt]

yeah thats what i was hoping

i was thinking it might be for these but i doubt it

hmm

@hollow shadow what kind of tools were you wanting it to only accept?

[hollow shadow]

thats for allowing tools to cut tree / cut plant xd

[hollow shadow]

Well, all of them

[winter bolt]

theres an attachment type just for hammers here

idk how attach types work

[hollow shadow]

i already made custom attachments for cordless drill and nailgun for the toolbelt back slot

but i want some items to go directly into the toolbelt becouse i wont spend 20 hours adjusting attachment points lmao

i would have to make like 30 attachment points

[winter bolt]

lmao

[hollow shadow]

i also did one for walkie talkie on the front of the belt

[drifting ore]

@hollow shadow testing in game it seems some guns do make sound just at a reduced range.
Shooting a 50BMG from Bitas mod still alerted zeds just at about the range of yelling.

[winter bolt]

there might not be an easy way to do it

that looks cool lol

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow mmm so you are adding the container yourself as a script item right?

[hollow shadow]

yes

[hollow shadow]

thanks it also has sounds

[winter bolt]

well the category thing does work but probably not for display ones

[drifting ore]

I stand by my idea that guns just have heavily reduced sound range

[winter bolt]

they do

they halved the shotguns

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow so it should be possible to add to your container the keyword AcceptItemFunction with a Lua function that will be called to do the checking on the item

[hollow shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[weary matrix]

cause in ItemContainer there's a method isItemAllowed() that use the value AcceptItemFunction to call a Lua function to decide whether the item has to be accepted or not

[winter bolt]

i might have an idea how to make that workbut i have no idea how to add a method to an item

[weary matrix]

it has to be a global Lua function I think

@hollow shadow give me a few minute to try something

[winter bolt]

i'm assuming AcceptItemFunction is the name of the method you can use that'll check the item and return true or false?

[drifting ore]

@hollow shadow so the Brita Mod is the one that is messing with the gun sounds?

[winter bolt]

no the vanilla game has reduced weapon radius for the time being in the multiplayer beta

[drifting ore]

yes

well with no mods on I have hear gun shots, then if I turn mods on, I hear everything but the gun shot.

I had a silencer mod installed by mistake at one point and figured that was what removed the sound entirely

[winter bolt]

oh thats what you meant

[hollow shadow]

I got no idea

[drifting ore]

cars also have slightly reduced sound range from what i can tell
like 66% for cars, 6% for guns.
A pistol seems to be virtually silent to the zeds while a 50cal is on par with screaming.

I figure delete everything out of the workshop folder and delete the .acf file or whatever it is under workshop then reinstall them all

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow what's the name of your mod?

I need it to write the function

[hollow shadow]

"The Workshop"

[weary matrix]

to avoid conflicts with other mods

[hollow shadow]

i use TW

[drifting ore]

Also damn, i think i cant use ammo craft because all its shitty bullet piece boxes are drowning out the spawns for actual ammunition.
there are just TOO MANY boxes of "pistol primers", im drowning.

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow so your mod ID is TheWorkshop no space?

[hollow shadow]

module TW

1 sec

[drifting ore]

i think he also made the MG42

[hollow shadow]

id=TheWorkshop

[weary matrix]

ok

[drifting ore]

oh, that workshop.
Did you recently make scrap weapons dependant upon it? I dont think i needed The Workshop to run it before.

[hollow shadow]

yes

[drifting ore]

any particular reason?

[hollow shadow]

I made it so i can make Tools / recources that are needed for all 3 mods

otherwise i would have to add them multiple times across all 3 mods

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow so try to add this in a Lua file in your mod media/lua/client/TheWorkshop/TheWorkshop.lua

TheWorkshop = {}
TheWorkshop.AcceptItemFunction = function(inventoryItem)
    return inventoryItem:getScriptItem():getDisplayCategory() == "Tool"
end

And then, add this in the script definition of your item container: AcceptItemFunction = TheWorkshop.AcceptItemFunction,

[drifting ore]

hmm, i liked Scrap Weapons to just find them on dead Zeds and in containers but i dont really want more crafting benches and crafting items in my game...
In the future could there be any way to make them separate again?

[hollow shadow]

I didnt add "more" benches. I moved it from the scrap weapon mod to the other one

[winter bolt]

lua god 😳

[hollow shadow]

Im not sure. since i made a vote on my discord for this decision

[drifting ore]

You have a discord? I feel like in that case everyone there just wants you to make as many cool mods as possible.

[hollow shadow]

Yeah anyone can join and vote for things if i make big decisions lol. but were getting offtopic from this channel

[drifting ore]

I guess if i want scrap weapons i should check out The Workshop then. Im just a tad weary about over bloating my mod folder is all.

[weary matrix]

@drifting ore @hollow shadow #mod_support please 😂

[drifting ore]

Ok back to modding.
Is there a quick garbage patch that could be made to make guns attract?
Like spawning a silent car horn whenever a gun is fired.

[hollow shadow]

Dont worry. I wont try to copy hydrocraft. especialy not on terms of quality xD

[drifting ore]

lol. Make muzzle flashes emit a sound of some kind that draws in zeds. xD

[winter bolt]

if you mean making guns louder again you could just increase the radius again

i was gonna get around to it but i might just whip one up quickly

[hollow shadow]

I got an error as soon as i hovered my File over the toolbelt

[errant meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/burn-sick-omg-omfg-dead-gif-4802144

[drifting ore]

I think that would require every gun mod to edit their gun files.
Im trying to think of a single patch to make them "just work" in the words of Todd.

[winter bolt]

idk whats up with gun mods tbh

all they did was change the radius in the vanilla weapon scripts im pretty sure

[drifting ore]

Ya shooting again, guns for sure make some sound, just not much.

[winter bolt]

they lowered the actual numbers so i dont think they did anything fucky with radiuses themselves

melee weapons are fine

[drifting ore]

I got no idea how to mod this game but i guess i must try.
I shall replace muzzle flashes and make them emit sound, kek

[winter bolt]

which gun mods do you mean?

[drifting ore]

i have yet to find a single gun mod that attracts properly

[winter bolt]

hmm

ive seen people say that britas are pretty quiet normally but idk

[drifting ore]

like i said, the loudest ive tested just now was the 50-bmg and it was equivalent to yelling.

[winter bolt]

hmm

[drifting ore]

9mm SMGs are about the same as the sound of walking.

[winter bolt]

maybe try opening the mod files and seeing what the radius on it is set to?

[hollow shadow]

@weary matrix

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow can you upload your console.txt pease?

haha

mmm

[winter bolt]

"Object tried to call nil in AcceptItemFunction" uh oh

[hollow shadow]

it also didnt allow any items inside it

[winter bolt]

well thats a step in the right direction i guess lol

if the function call didnt work then it returned false i guess which means you're 1 step closer

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow so it's a good news, it means the function was called at least, now we need to figure out how to make it not crash 😄

give me a few seconds

@hollow shadow so try this please:

TheWorkshop = {}
TheWorkshop.AcceptItemFunction = function(inventoryItem)

    if not inventoryItem.getScriptItem then
        print("DEBUG: TheWorkshop: getScriptItem is nil")
        return false
    end

    if not inventoryItem:getScriptItem().getDisplayCategory then
        print("DEBUG: TheWorkshop: getDisplayCategory is nil")
        return false
    end

    return inventoryItem:getScriptItem():getDisplayCategory() == "Tool"
end

[drifting ore]

Wow i am very surprised nobody has made a Browning 50-bmg machine gun yet.

[winter bolt]

lua god 😳

[hollow shadow]

@weary matrix No error but i also cant put anything inside

script is still the same right?

[weary matrix]

yeah same file

[timid thorn]

How difficult would persistent characters be to implement, kinda like going to sleep in rust when you log off a dedicated? that way if you leave a tV on or something and a zombie breaks in, you could be in trouble. PVP, preventing loot Despawning / hiding by logging off with the good stuff.

[weary matrix]

mmm is there lines with "DEBUG: TheWorkshop" in your console.txt?

[hollow shadow]

Tons of LOG : General , 1639598890059> DEBUG: TheWorkshop: getScriptItem is nil

[winter bolt]

im pretty sure having the character stay wouldnt be possible unless it was implemented by the actual devs but it might be possible to like drop the player's items or something when they log off?

im not like experienced though so i dont really know lol

[drifting ore]

@winter bolt no doesn't look like the values were lowered at all in Brita's or Arsenal. But we concluded that already.
They must have tried to modify the base game guns by putting a flat modifier over every firearm somehow?
I got no clue

[winter bolt]

idk i dont think so because that'd mean the gun radiuses were nerfed twice over

[weary matrix]

@hollow shadow mmm mind to send me your mod?

so I can try it, will be easier for troubleshooting

[hollow shadow]

ok

[drifting ore]

Well its not the mod creator's fault.
Im trying to figure out what the devs could have done to do this though and if its easily reversible.
Is there any base value that effects sound radiuses?

[hollow shadow]

Is it possible to have multiple oncreate functions on a recipe?

[silk thistle]

so, is there like an absolute correct tutorial for enabling mods on servers after installing them via steam workshop? and i was told this can work mid save, as long as I back the save up

[drifting ore]

that would be in #mod_support

[silk thistle]

oop

[keen creek]

what new map locations work together in mp?

[hollow shadow]

("Base.LeadPipe/Base.ScrapMetal") doesnt seem to work. how do i make it pick one of the 2?

[hollow shadow]

#mod_support

[keen creek]

im not having mismatch issues

[winter bolt]

player:getInventory():AddItem(items[math.random(1, 2)])```
i cant really test it but something like this i think?

i dont really know much lua

[hollow shadow]

thanks its worth a try

[hollow shadow]

how do you make it in that black box btw

[lofty yacht]

Has anyone had any luck getting Autostar Trailers and/or Yacht Club working? Would love to be able to boat up to Louisville

[hollow shadow]

Aquatsars hasnt gotten an update in ages so i dont think so. Also #mod_support

[lofty yacht]

I just realized it's not autostars and it's autotsar's lol

[winter bolt]

surround the text you want with ``` on either side ```

[hollow shadow]

what are those

[scenic pawn]

Does anyone know how to grab the data that players have on their maps? Like where the file that stores that data is?

[hollow shadow]

i dont have those on my keyboard i think

[winter bolt]

im not sure what type of keyboard you have but on my UK keyboard its the one right above tab

[hollow shadow]

🥲

[winter bolt]

its this i think

[hollow shadow]

Oh yeah

its next to backspace for me

    player:getInventory():AddItem("MetalBar/Base.ScrapMetal")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws=2")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws/Base.EngineParts")
    player:getInventory():AddItem(items[math.random(1, 2)])
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.ScrapMetal")
end```

[winter bolt]

instead of doing the slashes to seperate them you do like

you make a list like this with the items you want randomised, with commas seperating each item

local items = ["Base.LeadPipe", "Base.ScrapMetal"];

then when you add the item you'll type the name of the list you want to pick an item from and then do the math.random thing and the second number will be the length of that list
player:getInventory():AddItem(items[math.random(1, 2)])

idk if that math.random thing works in pz since i just looked up a lua thing lol

so instead of player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws/Base.EngineParts")

you'd do local randomItems1 = {"Base.Screws", "Base.EngineParts"}; player:getInventory():AddItem(randomItems1[math.random(1, 2)])

i think

you can add even more items to the random pool if you wanted too

lol i hope this works or i'll look really stupid

oops i used the wrong symbols

[silk thistle]

is there a list of mods that specifically work for b41 multiplayer that have added guns and such?

[mint sphinx]

Most work after my knowlagde

[pure kraken]

the lack of cargo pants in this game and modding community is disturbing

[willow estuary]

There is no "list". And, there is so much confusion and misinformation regarding mods + b41 MP, on account of issues with mods being updated for b41MP; people having issues with not knowing how to install or update mods for server; and steam itself doing a terrible job of updating mods, that I would consider any such list to be worthless.

[hollow shadow]

oK i understand most of it except for the 2 numbers at the very back

1 and 2

[winter bolt]

ok so when you call math.random it asks you for 2 numbers which are just the range of numbers you want to randomise

so if you put in 1 and 2 it'll give you either 1 or 2

[hollow shadow]

ok thx

[winter bolt]

which the thing i posted then uses to grab an item from the list

oh also i updated the code because i messed up the symbols

[winter bolt]

this should hopefully work

[hollow shadow]

i mean

do i have to do a different name instead of "randomItems1" for each function?

or does it only work in that specific function

[winter bolt]

ok so in this example randomItems1 is the list that'll store "Base.Screws"and "Base.EngineParts" so that it can give the player one of those items

for "MetalBar" and "Base.ScrapMetal" you'll want to pretty much copy randomitems1 and call it something like randomItems2 and replace the item names in that list

you'll want to add a new list for each of the "choices" that you want the game to pick from when you do the recipe

[hollow shadow]

    local randomItems1 = {"Base.EngineParts"};
    player:getInventory():AddItem(randomItems1[math.random(0, 1)])
    local randomItems2 = {"Base.MetalBar"};
    player:getInventory():AddItem(randomItems2[math.random(0, 1)])```

now it gives me either engine parts or nothing

and a pipe or nothing

[winter bolt]

i think so but i'm not sure how the game handles it when you try to add nothing

try it and if it gives you an error then i can try to make a function you can use that you can just paste into your code and use

[silk thistle]

does anyone know any popular multiplayer mods then?

[warped belfry]

Hi guys, having issues with my PZ vehicle mod, trying to make my own, at first the car was invisible, but now i can see it's wheels, any idea what is causing this?
I had fixed the wheels by freezing transforms on Maya but didn't do anything for the actual car

this is the vehicle editor for it

[drifting ore]

So Authentic Z i believe has the old Tote Bag model attached to zombie spawns that are not placeable.

Is there a way to remove that old Tote bag model and replace it with the 3d one?

[winter bolt]

alright if that gives you an error i've made a thing you can use that might work

[hollow shadow]

It gave me nothing ;-;

[winter bolt]

ah yeah it's messing up because its trying to add a null item

try this out maybe?

i cant test it myself but it should work

are all of these recipe functions in the same script?

or are they all in like seperate .lua files

[hollow shadow]

uh

    local randomItems1 = {"Base.EngineParts"};
    player:getInventory():AddItem(randomItems1[math.random(0, 1)])
    local randomItems2 = {"Base.MetalBar"};
    player:getInventory():AddItem(randomItems2[math.random(0, 1)])
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.ScrapMetal=2")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws=2")
end

This is in a lua

[winter bolt]

hmm

are you able to put all of the recipe functions into the same file?

[hollow shadow]

recipe Disassemble Motor
    {

        Motor,
        keep MetalWorkbench,

        NoBrokenItems            : False,
        AllowDestroyedItem      : true,
        Result                   : MetalParts=5,
        Time                     : 200.0,

        CanBeDoneFromFloor      : TRUE,
        NeedToBeLearn: false,
    }  

this is part of the script

[hollow shadow]

Yea

[winter bolt]

yeah do that then

[winter bolt]

i'm just trying to make sure you wont have to copy paste the function into multiple files lol

ok try adding this to your code and using it instead

    local result = math.random(rangeMin, rangeMax)
    if result == 0 then return
    
    player:getInventory():AddItem(items[result])
    
end```

[opal wind]

hey guys im doing my first mod on PZ here, but i never published on steam before, how do i do it?

[winter bolt]

an example of how to use it is AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 2)

[winter bolt]

the first argument you pass in is the list of items you want to pick one from, and the last 2 are the same numbers from the math.random

[winter bolt]

in your Users/Zomboid/Workshop folder there should be a ModTemplate folder that you can use as a reference

you'll place your mod's folder into the Contents/Mods folder in your new template and then when you open the game you should be able to see a workshop upload tab on the main menu

[winter bolt]

oh also i should explain that when you call my new function if you set the first number to 0 it'll mean theres a chance it'll give the player nothing but if you pass in another number then it'll always give the player something

so it works like how you were trying to use it before but hopefully without the error

[opal wind]

yes i know but what number code i should set for my mod? like steam dont have to generate those? i want my mod to be avaliable on steam

each mode is a code like 2644254485 then inside the mod folder is

[winter bolt]

the number code in workshop.txt ?

when you upload to the workshop it'll generate one and add it to the file automatically

oh thats what you mean

yeah once you've uploaded it to the workshop it'll do that for you

[opal wind]

but how do i set comments, pictures and such on steam? this is so strange

[winter bolt]

do you have the mod itself like set up and working fine?

[opal wind]

i tought i had to upload first on steam so then it would appear ingame

[opal wind]

yea but i test it inside another mod folder on a new game

now i need to separate it to make my mod (sorry my english)

[winter bolt]

ah its okay

[opal wind]

ok so after i got all my files ready, i have to manually put on some folder, then i enter the game, then only after that it will be on steam?

im totally lost tbh lol

[winter bolt]

yeah if you go to Users/Zomboid/Workshop there's a mod template that you can copy and paste

that'll be the folder that contains the stuff you'll upload to the workshop

[opal wind]

i found that, so i put my mod there inside a folder like WizMod -> mod -> mod files ?

[winter bolt]

yeah

[opal wind]

then what?

[winter bolt]

then you should be able to open up that text file and then you can change what your mod will be called on the workshop and stuff like that

you'll also replace preview.png with the main image you want to appear on the workshop

once you've uploaded to the workshop you can add other images to the page and change the description

sorry if i'm not explaining well lol

this part of this video might be able to explain it better

https://youtu.be/N6tZujOPnDw?t=2804

[opal wind]

nah you are lol, sorry i do know how to do the mod, the only part i was not sure was how to upload on steam

thanks!

i will check the video i still dont understand how steam create the mod page thou

im editing my poster rn 😄

[winter bolt]

once you've set up the folder in the Workshop folder there should be an option on the main menu that'll give you the option to upload that folder and then hopefully it's easier from there

[glass rampart]

hey, for example if i have lots of similar stuff i want to spawn in one certain place, can i create an array or an object to loop over them all and place in that certain distribution place? well i mean i know you can do that but sadly not good with lua, any mod that use this method? or all just plainly write each and every item zilion of times?

[winter bolt]

like do you want all of those items to spawn together all the time?

[opal wind]

ah i see ingame? i think i got it now

[winter bolt]

nice!

[opal wind]

thanks man

i will try to upload later after i get done with the mod and let you know if it works 😄

will be another trading mod but i will try to balance it

lol

[glass rampart]

like for i have 7 or so colours of 1 item, and i want all of them to have a chance to spawn in gigamart, and other places as well, so to not duplicate almost similar 7 lines each of the time, i wanted to place them in array, and just loop over them

[winter bolt]

yeah thats possible

i can write an example thing if you want

[glass rampart]

that would be cool, coz this does not work for some reason

[winter bolt]

what do you have rn?

[glass rampart]

local function insertTable(t1, t2)
    local n = #t1
    for i=1,#t2 do 
        t1[n+i] = t2[i]
    end
end

local bb_Botles_1 = {
    "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyYellow",10, -- 1
    "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyRed",10,
    "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyPurple",10,
    "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyOrange",10,
    "Base.HookedWaterBottleEmptyGreen",10,
 }

 -- new distribution (b41.51+)
insertTable(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["GigamartBottles"].items, bb_Botles_1) -- grocery shelves / gigamart shelves  / generalstore```

and this how i called it

well its just a part of the code

[fresh flume]

Is it possible to add a custom entry to your item definition, for use in scripts?

[scenic pawn]

Is there a mod that allows me to attach a first aid kit to my backpack?

[winter bolt]

    for index, value in ipairs(items) do
        table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
    end
end```
try this maybe?

i dont know much about lua but it should hopefully work

you should be able to pass in "bb_Botles_1" as the 2nd parameter and for the first parameter do "GigamartBottles"

[glass rampart]

ty, ill try that now

btw stupid question, can i update lua or game some how from debug, with out restarting it each time?

[winter bolt]

i think if you press f11 theres a button to reload lua but i'm not really sure how it works

[glass rampart]

i see, okay ill go try that fn

[winter bolt]

lol i might actually try using this function myself honestly

my item distribution file is a mess

[zealous wing]

Would it be feasible to place items on a wall, rather than the ground: For example, hanging them from a wall mounted rack like so:
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XkqgwNy-L._AC_SL1500_.jpg
Guns too:
https://external-preview.redd.it/8xA11EqIRHUfMpZNz4B0vk1KgxV7h-Tk6KSa67jdKRI.jpg?auto=webp&s=f18058f3e93cf2ae7abe24694a0f9f53789c6674

I just think it'd be neat if we could have tool racks, or walls of guns. 😄

[winter bolt]

oh yeah i'd recommend setting the numbers to something insanely high just to make sure it works

[glass rampart]

yeah i do on max loot preset, well all i got is 3 errors now, and no loot sadly, tying to find the errors

[winter bolt]

uh oh

[hollow shadow]

function DeconstructMotor_OnCreate(items, result, player)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.EngineParts", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.ScrapMetal=2")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws=2")
end ```

[winter bolt]

does it say what they are?

[hollow shadow]

This should work right?

[glass rampart]

looking for em rn

[winter bolt]

i'm not sure about the "=2" parts

[hollow shadow]

well either way it gives me nothing now xD

the function doesnt seem to work

[winter bolt]

also since lua counts from 1 in lists those two at the top mean that it'll only ever spawn engine parts or nothing, and never scrap metal

[hollow shadow]

W a t

AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 2)

[dusty sun]

May I ask a question here about loading MP mods in my server? I think I'm doing everything correctly but it's still not working

[hollow shadow]

Here you used 2 items tho :I

[winter bolt]

"Base.EngineParts" is 1 in that list and "Base.ScrapMetal" is 2

[hollow shadow]

#mod_support

[dusty sun]

Oh thank you

[winter bolt]

if you set the minimum number to 0 and the maximum to 1 then scrap metal will get cut out

[hollow shadow]

Oh

[winter bolt]

yeah lua is weird lol

[hollow shadow]

so the 0 is for the enghine parts and 1 is for the scrapmetal

but how do i make it random?

[winter bolt]

nah 1 is engine parts and 2 is scrap metal

ok so

[hollow shadow]

if i do 1, 1 then it gives me 1 of both?

[winter bolt]

math.random takes in a minimum number and a maximum number, which are the ones you put into my function. it'll pick a random number between those two numbers you put in

so if you put in a 1 and 2 it'll choose engine parts or scrap metal

[hollow shadow]

Oh.l.

i didnt change your function lmao

[winter bolt]

oh wait hold on i need to look up something lmao

yeah ok i didnt screw it up

[winter bolt]

no i mean like here lol

    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)```

the two numbers are the end are the minimum and the maximum that the random number generator will choose

but i've added a check that makes it so that if the random number ends up being 0 then it wont give the player an item

so if you want the player to recieve a random item then you'll want the first number to be 1

but if you want them to possibly recieve no item then the first number should be 0

[glass rampart]

can't find those errors, will try to restart it once again,

but i have a question about your fn

    for index, value in ipairs(items) do
         table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
    end
end```

argument items and ipairs items is different from [].items right?

and the 2cnd argument is value?

[winter bolt]

yeah the argument "items" is just the list of items you put in

[].items is the actual list of items in the distribution file

[glass rampart]

insertTable(["GigamartBottles"], bb_Botles_1)

and i should call it like this right?

[winter bolt]

nah you'll wanna get rid of the [] around "GigamartBottles"

[glass rampart]

oh dammit

ill try that one again

[glass rampart]

yeah that worked, items is spawning. ty a heap!

[winter bolt]

oh nice

my first successful lua code lmfao

[glass rampart]

xD

well it would be nice to also add if/else statement and throw an error it there is no such distribution

to prevent code from dying if there is mistake

but i am already glad it is working! 🙂

[winter bolt]

yeah thats what i'm working on now lol

i keep getting an error when i test it but i dont know why

[glass rampart]

yeah that will help to find such distribution errors

and btw, if there will be if/else statement you can publicly add this fn to some distro optimisation

coz i see lots of mods just manually type each and every line

for example mods of theMadmanAndre and most of other ppl

with this it will be easier to find bugs and update distri

[winter bolt]

yeah

[fierce leaf]

@weary matrix im having issues with your out the window mod

[weary matrix]

@fierce leaf not here, #mod_support

[glass rampart]

how do you think, will this work?

    for index, value in ipairs(items) do

        if not container then
            return print('ERROR: procedure distributions not found!')
          end
          if not container then
            return print('ERROR: cant add '..value..' to procedure '..container)
        end
         table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
    end
end```

i mean if statement

[winter bolt]

no that will check if the container name you just entered is nil i think

i just made something but i need to test it

oh sweet i dont get an error now

i dont know what i did but

[glass rampart]

heh

[winter bolt]

nevermind :(

[glass rampart]

error?

[winter bolt]

i wrote an if statement wrong lmao

lua is weird

[glass rampart]

yeah i know

but then what if i add variable local data = ProceduralDistributions.list and then check if not data[container] then?

[hollow shadow]

 function AddRandomItemToInventory(items, rangeMin, rangeMax)
    local result = math.random(rangeMin, rangeMax)
    if result == 0 then return
    
    player:getInventory():AddItem(items[result])
    
end

function DeconstructMotor_OnCreate(items, result, player)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.EngineParts", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.ScrapMetal=2")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws=2")
end

[winter bolt]

OH

I KNOW WHY LMAO

[hollow shadow]

@winter bolt when i try this then it simply says that it dont exist

[winter bolt]

i forgot to close a fucking if statement lmao

[winter bolt]

add a "end" after "if result == 0 then return"

[hollow shadow]

function AddRandomItemToInventory(items, rangeMin, rangeMax)
    local result = math.random(rangeMin, rangeMax)
    if result == 0 then return
    
    player:getInventory():AddItem(items[result])
    end
end

like dat?

[winter bolt]

nah right after "return"

    local result = math.random(rangeMin, rangeMax)
    if result == 0 then return end
    
    player:getInventory():AddItem(items[result])
    
end```

[glass rampart]

mind sharing fn if it is working?

[winter bolt]

yeah

i keep getting an error

[glass rampart]

and what about this one?```function insertTable(container, items)
local data = ProceduralDistributions.list

for index, value in ipairs(items) do

    if not data then
        return print('ERROR: procedure distributions not found!')
      end
      if not data[container] then
        return print('ERROR: cant add '..value..' to procedure '..container)
    end
     table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
end

end```

i added variable, now i should check if it is in dist list no?

edited it a bit.. will go to try

[hollow shadow]

now it says my own function doesnt exist ,_,

[winter bolt]

tf

[hollow shadow]

 function DeconstructMotor_OnCreate(items, result, player)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.EngineParts", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    AddRandomItemToInventory({"Base.Metalbar", "Base.ScrapMetal"}, 0, 1)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.ScrapMetal=2")
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Screws=2")
end```

[winter bolt]

wait so whats wrong with it now?

[hollow shadow]

it just says that my function doesnt exist

[winter bolt]

i think your last 2 lines might be breaking it?

[hollow shadow]

no such function " DeconstructMotor_OnCreate"

[winter bolt]

oh tf

like i think the =2 "Base.Screws=2" is breaking it maybe?

[hollow shadow]

ill remove them

[hollow shadow]

no such function

[winter bolt]

i'm beginning to think my code isn't reliable

[hollow shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/extreme-bucket-demo-phil-swift-flex-seal-gif-10871835

[opal wind]

hey so i have to put my mod inside a folder call 'mod' then put this folder inside another folder with my mod name right?

but on this workshop page the modTemplate is inside another mod folder inside another ModTemplate folder :/

it should be Workshop -> ModName -> mod -> mod files ?

or like Workshop -> ModTemplate -> Content -> mod -> ModTemplate -> then my mod? this is super confusing why steam sucks so much 😦

[winter bolt]

this one

@glass rampart yeah i'm not smart enough to make this work lmfao

[glass rampart]

well it seams my piece of "artwork" is not working as well xD

[wet osprey]

hey sorry to bother, where is the list of all the item names?

[glass rampart]

@weary matrix sorry to ping you, and if you are not busy, would you mind helping us a bit with lua code... ?

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart sure

[glass rampart]

so we have a fn here and we want to add if/else statement but its a bit hard do so for 😦

    for index, value in ipairs(items) do
         table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
    end
end```

the point of fn is to receive obj with elements and well add them to distr

[winter bolt]

mine is erroring without the if statement lmao

[glass rampart]

i tried this sh*t but it does not work ```function insertTable(container, items)
local data = ProceduralDistributions.list

for index, value in ipairs(items) do

    if not data then
        return print('ERROR: procedure distributions not found!')
      end
      if not data[container] then
        return print('ERROR: cant add '..value..' to procedure '..container)
    end
     table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[container].items, value);
end

end```

it would be nice to receive an error when there is no such distr path or no item like that and proceed to add another items with out breaking

and @winter bolt was the one who wrote loop

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart mmm does the code work but show no errors in console.txt?

[glass rampart]

the one with if else?

oh in lua its just if...

[weary matrix]

I don;t see any else in there 😅

[glass rampart]

yes i just used to JS xD

well the one with "if" yes does not show any errors

i added incorrect path

but still it is no errors

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart I don't know much about distribution, is it a function that is called from a script .txt file?

[glass rampart]

lua

[winter bolt]

its a lua table

this is almost definitely not worth the time i'm spending trying to fix it lmao

[glass rampart]

function insertTable(container, items)
    local data = ProceduralDistributions.list

    for index, value in ipairs(items) do

well it is some thing like this

last line should be incorrect

but items still spawning and no errors

[weary matrix]

the code you show looks fine and should print something to the console, but in some case, the prints won't happen. For example when you create a script item, if you add something like AcceptItemFunction = someLuaFunction then the prints won't go to console

[glass rampart]

and yes there is more arrays i just delete them to show general idea

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart the prints are just for you in case you forgot something right?

[glass rampart]

yeah

just to be easier to fix stuff

and find errors in case

i wanted them in log

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart so in that case try to replace print with error

[winter bolt]

for some reason when i use that exact same function it gives me a nil error

[glass rampart]

with error?

[winter bolt]

bruh

[weary matrix]

ah damn

[winter bolt]

it doesnt give me any idea what its calling thats nil

[weary matrix]

mmm maybe you could move the first check out of the function?

[winter bolt]

i dont have a check in mine

this is all i have and its giving me a nil error lol

the container name isnt wrong either

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart @winter bolt I mean for: ProceduralDistributions.list, you can check it from outside the function right?

[winter bolt]

yeah

adding stuff without the function works fine though

i'm just gonna shelve the function on my end i guess

it works for kayn but not for me for some reason lol

[brittle jewel]

Is it the comma after the 5? Shouldn't that either not be there, or have something after it?

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart @winter bolt if the prints are not showed to console and error() is not defined, it probably means your code is run from a special context, not sure how to address this 😦

[glass rampart]

well yeah i gues

[winter bolt]

i tried with and without the comma but it didnt make a difference

[glass rampart]

hmm

[weary matrix]

@glass rampart and also you don't need to check it for each iteration of the loop, just once before entering the loop would be ok

but that's another issue 😅

[glass rampart]

hah

well i dont import require 'Items/SuburbsDistributions' require 'Items/ProceduralDistributions' im my lua

[winter bolt]

oh yeah sidenote does PZ let you use lua's math.random?

[glass rampart]

not sure if i need it?

[winter bolt]

or does it have its own random function

[drifting ore]

Anyone know how to remove the tote bag that does not have the 3d Model associated with it so it can NOT be placed on the ground? I am pretty sure I know which mod is doing it

[weary matrix]

@winter bolt don't know but you have ZombRand

[jovial summit]

Hey anyone got a clue as to where the generator logic is located?

[weary matrix]

probably here: zombie/iso/objects/IsoGenerator.java

[jovial summit]

Much appreciated!

[warped belfry]

Anyone know why my vehicle mod is skipping gears?

went from 1st to 5th, are the ratios off?

[jovial summit]

Anyway to make this file more comprehensible? I'm using Notepad++

[late hound]

You need to use an IDE to decompile the java code

[jovial summit]

What's an IDE?

[late hound]

google it

[jovial summit]

Fair enough

[pearl prism]

http://www.javadecompilers.com/

[weary matrix]

@jovial summit https://github.com/quarantin/beautiful-java

this will allow you to decompile the game

should be way easier

@late hound have you tried it btw? I also rename symbols like var1 var2 etc with names based on the types

[haughty yoke]

can someone please make a mod to replace the 2d log icon in the fireplace with the 3d version

even just a flat version of the 3d model would be better

[worthy snow]

any mod that makes guns less ear-rupturingly loud?

[stray yacht]

Anyone able to tell me what Log "EXITDEBUG: IngameState.exit 11" means when trying to start a local server with my mod? Better yet, know where I can find definitions for the exit codes?

[opal wind]

ok so i manage to upload my mod on workshop and test it in-game, now each time i Update my mod on the workshop, people that already subscribed to my mod will have to sub again or each time i update my mod it update to everybody that is subed?

[warped belfry]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2683532719

I did it 🙂

[opal wind]

congratz man

im trying to finish my first mod too haha

[warped belfry]

i hope it's going well!

[opal wind]

i need to know that question i just posted

like when i update my mod on workshop, people who already subed it need to re-sub?

[warped belfry]

it would auto update for them

no resubbing

[opal wind]

thats convinient

[warped belfry]

best to test first before uploading to workshop tho, its easier

[opal wind]

oh man, modding this game is easier than minecraft and the sims 4 for sure, im loving it

[warped belfry]

it is!

[opal wind]

lua was made by a brazilian like me

😄

looks like im going to have to make a 3rd discord server soon lmao

[weary matrix]

Let's say I want to add an item like Grass Cuttings how would I change the "Cut Grass" action to give the character grass cuttings?

[opal wind]

how so? testing in-game after updating the workshop is so fast

[warped belfry]

you could just use your files normally if you never posted to workshop first

works both ways i guess

[opal wind]

you mean like putting on the mod folder directlly? doesnt steam need to generate that number code folder first?

i did test like that before but inside another pre-existent mod folder lol

[warped belfry]

put it in C drive zomboid mods folder, works fine

[opal wind]

ah i see

[warped belfry]

then enable it

debug mode too

great stuff

vehicle editor is cool

[opal wind]

i guess, but testing after updating the workshop i can just hit 'continue' on my testing world

any way is fine

did you make your car on blender?

oh vehicle editor? its a model tool or code tool?

my mod is not a car mod thou, this first mod im doing will be a trade mod, to trade before uselss stuff like jewels for money then buy some stuff

i will also add support child-mods for lots of other mods

got suport for USCM armory and antique armory mods already

they will be expensive thou lol i dont want to make it much OP

[warped belfry]

helps with model scaling, etc

[warped belfry]

Maya!

[jovial summit]

You know what maybe modding isn't for me

[opal wind]

harra you know how to open those .X files from armor/cloth models?

cars are .fbx i can import to blender but not sure about .x lol

[weary matrix]

@opal wind you have to convert them

there are online converters, but not 100% reliable

[opal wind]

did you try? it convert to .fbx or what? thanks!

[drifting ore]

Can anyone help identify which mod this duffel bag in the 2d is? For the life of me I cant figure it out

[weary matrix]

Any clue how to remove snow from a square?

[willow estuary]

I think soul filcher, and maybe other people, hit dead ends with that?

[weary matrix]

@opal wind I managed to convert some item from X to FBX, maybe a screwdriver or something I'm not sure

@willow estuary you mean about removing snow?

[willow estuary]

Yeah, but who knows? Anything might be possible.

[weary matrix]

has to be, but I was surprised to see there's no snow tiles, even when looking with chunk debugger

@willow estuary in IsoCell I can see private class SnowGrid

doesn't look good indeed

and all IsoCell attributes related to snow are private too 😦

I guess only a JavaMod could do it 😅

[agile coral]

@weary matrix If it's an overlay like trash, you can do this

object:getSquare():transmitRemoveItemFromSquare(object);
object:getSquare():getObjects():remove(object);

[weary matrix]

@agile coral are you sure it's an object?

i can't see it with chunk debugger

[agile coral]

It's how they handle ashes and trash overlays, but I'm not positive. I've never made it to winter lol

But since most world items are considered objects, it's probably safe to assume the snow buildup would be one too

[weary matrix]

@agile coral any clue how can I inspect hashes for example?

and can I remove objects / tiles with debug mode?

[abstract raptor]

so, I used to be able to get whole ass songs to play with the recipe sound thing

now it doesn't work at all

any ideas? :S

[weary matrix]

@agile coral first is hashes, second is snow

[agile coral]

Well, it looks like you can filter for ashes by checking if the sprite's texture name starts with floors_burnt_01_

[weary matrix]

@agile coral yes probably, my problem is I want to remove snow, not ashes 😅

[dark solar]

check out #mod_support

[agile coral]

Hmm, can you check if rain puddles also set the diamondFloor flag?

That may be an easy way to check if it's snow, since nothing seems to explicitly mark it as such

[weary matrix]

@dark solar why?

[dark solar]

person i was responding to deleted their message lol.

[weary matrix]

ah ok, no worries 😂

@agile coral let me check

[fallen oxide]

yo you guys are veterans could u possibly help me with something real quick?

its about saving my world correctly not losing any player built items and loot in need of workshop updates / fixes by removing map bin files and restarting my server to implement mod removing correctly

[weary matrix]

@fallen oxide #old_techsupport

[fallen oxide]

ive done so but people arent responding to my query sorry dude

guess its maybe because of the time right now

[weary matrix]

@agile coral mm I have flag diamondFloor set even for wooden floor inside a house

@fallen oxide well here is about modding the game, your question has nothing to do with that 🤷‍♂️

modding as in creating mods

[weary matrix]

about this code, the first line is to transmit the data to server so that everyone can see the object has been removed?

[agile coral]

@weary matrix Hmm, yeah I'm not finding a way to tell a snow-covered tile from any other tile. Might have to look through the java files

[undone crag]

Hey how should Lua things be coded for multiplayer? I don't get it.

[agile coral]

I believe so? It was with the ISClearAshes timed action

There are certain commands that send updates to the server, like object:transmitModData()

[weary matrix]

also you should not use getPlayer() 😅

[undone crag]

Aye aye sir

I want to avoid spamming the bandwidth with commands that are networked also.

Maybe I will wait for multiplayer documentation of how it works.

[weary matrix]

or check other mods

[undone crag]

:\

[ruby urchin]

not sure if a docs for multiplayer will be created, you just need know about client-server concepts

[undone crag]

I want to also know when data is sent to the server and when to the client though. Like instead of frequently updating moddata on a client, if each time that happens it's networked, I should update a lua table which is more infrequently used to change moddata to send it to the other players.

And which functions only happen on the client and need things to be done to make it happen on other clients.

[weary matrix]

@undone crag well in my Spear Traps mod I use getModData to store info in the trap about spikes etc, I don't have to do anything special for others to see the spikes

or maybe I'm wrong, not sure I actually checked from another player perspective, but no one complained about it so far so not sure

[undone crag]

I don't want to experiment or read the Java to find out how it works though :d

[weary matrix]

@undone crag well I wouldn't get into modding pz then 😂

[undone crag]

:|

[agile coral]

Yeah, that's the state of PZ modding right now

[undone crag]

I only have so much time to do things until I have to devote time to surviving the heat death of the universe.

[agile coral]

I usually just search the files in the PZ /media/ folder for whatever thing I want to do to see how the dev team did it

[undone crag]

Oh yeah that's a thought. The Lua may have been updated, and the base game Lua will be working with multiplayer. So I can see that.

[ruby urchin]

In another game that working with lua, they use TriggerServerEvent and TriggerClientEvent for client/server, I don't even have a server but you could try pass variables back and forth with
//Client

triggerEvent("OnSomething", "Something")

//Server

Events.OnSomething.Add(function(text) 
  print(text)
end)

no idea if it works

[agile coral]

@undone crag You could also check out Events.OnClientCommand and Events.OnServerCommand to log which events are fired while playing

[undone crag]

:o

[brittle nacelle]

hi y'all, which mod is the door reinforcement mod?

[weary matrix]

@agile coral oh I made a mod to do this, but I still have to implements all the settings before publishing

it's usable though

by default I'm not showing the events that trigger too frequently but they can be enabled if needed

[random ruin]

hello, are mods available for 41.61?

[dark solar]

yea

[dusk pawn]

I dont know if this goes here but theres a mod that isnt updated to the latest branch i was wondering what would it take for someone to maybe look at it and update the mod itself ?

[mint sphinx]

Completely forgot I wrote to you ^^ damn I forgot how to mod in Lua xD

[weary matrix]

[quiet kiln]

The mods not yet updated to the MP build are only incompatible with the MP mode or with the build as a whole? Because I don't plan on playing MP, only SP.

[warped belfry]

I played SP on the MP build fine with vehicle mods and a weapon mod, worked fine

[hexed arrow]

very dumb question but in which language is the code written ?

btw which language is useful for modding? im starting to learn coding in my free time^^

[nimble spoke]

Depends on what they do exactly. Many are possibly broken in SP as well

[nimble spoke]

PZ uses Java and Lua, most of your time will be spent with lua

[torpid briar]

Did britas weapon mack get an update yet

[reef lichen]

@late hound Hey, I saw few hours earlier that you updated the mod. I got a friend who’s hosting a dedicated server with it having issues trying to force the server to update itself. He’s tried the copy and paste method and it doesn’t seem to change anything.

[late hound]

@reef lichen This is the wrong channel for this, head to #mod_support

hm... was it always wearing bulletproof vest will make all funnypacks (including vanilla) to become invisible?

[winter bolt]

yeah it probably hides everything that goes in that slot to avoid clipping

well just did some testing, and no it does not, there is problems with certain few things at that, oh well and vanilla funnypacks as well

but it sort of strange, i think it was not like this before

why are mods not working with multiplayer? when i try to host with mods it says "servers workshop item is different version" or something

Both towns would be connected by a bridge

[brittle jewel]

@ebon peak #mod_support

[drifting ore]

man, I'm really, really hoping mod authors don't start leaving in droves because of dumb folks not understanding how to update their server mods...

people are crapping on Hyzo again for his Firearms B41 update today. "ur update broke MP" no, no it did not

so frustrating.

[deft marsh]

Would it be wrong to ask for modders willing to help with our server?

[sweet tide]

anyone know if britas and the additional mods for it work with mp?

[tulip bluff]

After taking a quick look into the files it seems the quality of crafted spears maxes out at only level 3 carpentry? Can anyone tell me if that is correct?

[willow estuary]

I'm sure many of them would appreciate being tipped for their time and effort if they did? (not in my case, mind you, I don't have the time etc)

[willow estuary]

This is something that I am genuinely concerned about.

[drifting ore]

In a way I'm hoping that more creators just start disabling comments on their workshop pages

[sweet tide]

is firearms b41 good?

[deft marsh]

would definitely pay. We host one of the most popular servers (dont want to advertise it here) and are looking for someone to help with creating a community center complete with a library, kitchen, lounge, pond and garden. Have many ideas for additional mods and want to minimize our mods by creating a server pack. (with consent of authors ofcourse.) Pm me if interested

[drifting ore]

Comments are very useful for players to find recent info about updates and such, but lately they're just turning into a "pitch" fest from folks who don't entirely know what they're doing (no offense to them of course, but it's very disheartening to see mod authors say things like "maybe it's best if I don't update for a while")

[drifting ore]

personally I really enjoy it! it feels more in line with the vanilla firearms than Brita's mod does

I like Brita's too, it's very well executed, but it's a bit too "much" for me if that makes sense

[stiff scaffold]

tbf its also very frustrating when you get things to work and the next day something updates and it all falls apart

[willow estuary]

It sucks up so much time, energy and enthusiasm from many people, and people can be so rude and misinformed. It's a shame that some people make a issue out when modders do that, when they do it for the sake of their own well being?

[stiff scaffold]

i wish there was a way to stop steam from auto updating mods

[fair frost]

Does anyone know how the lights effect on cop car lightbar is created
How does the game know which part of the brush is suppose to light up
Is it hardcoded ?
I'm asking because i wonder is it possible script specific part of the brush/texture to light up when turning on els, allowing to create slicktop/unmarked cars

[drifting ore]

I understand that frustration, but the fault there lies with Steam, not with mod authors creating content

[willow estuary]

Hell yeah, now that's the spirit! Respect.

[drifting ore]

blame should be placed appropriately, and in a lot of cases it's being turned toward the content creator erroneously

[nimble spoke]

I don't think there are as many mappers available as there are modders sadly

[stiff scaffold]

iirc the only way to stop steam from updating mods is making a non steam server, no?

[sweet tide]

you know if britas works with mp?

[drifting ore]

I don't, sorry 😦

[stiff scaffold]

it does

im using it on our server rn

[brittle jewel]

@stiff scaffold It's easy enough to just copy files to the dedicated server and then unsubscribe from the mod

[sweet tide]

can you customise loot spawns with it?

[stiff scaffold]

i guess? i never bothered trying

[nimble spoke]

For now, it is better to follow what the devs said in Thursdoid and go for longer breaks between larger updtes, than frequent small updates, if possible

[stiff scaffold]

i just left it at "extremely rare"

[sweet tide]

what about bullets do they kill other players?

[willow estuary]

Now, apparently it does when updated and set up properly, although I cannot personally confirm it, but there's many people that say as much.

[stiff scaffold]

if PVP is enabled, yes

[sweet tide]

i mean for britas

[stiff scaffold]

only conflict there is with brita's weapon pack/arsenal's gunfighter mod is the melee option

it uses the same key as the map key

which you can just

rebind lol

[sweet tide]

oh yeah

did u do that in settings or the mod config?

[stiff scaffold]

i rebinded the map key to something else

besides that

it works v well

[sweet tide]

are the loot spawns broken?

[stiff scaffold]

no

[sweet tide]

ive never tried britas

oh nice

[stiff scaffold]

they spawn accordingly

[sweet tide]

finding the ammo be like

[stiff scaffold]

anyhow

[sweet tide]

britas mod defo looks awesome

[stiff scaffold]

is theres a mod that enables emergency vehicles lightbar effects?

[sweet tide]

SO MANY GUNS

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1970747513&searchtext=lights

that maybe

[stiff scaffold]

thanks

[sweet tide]

i dont see why that wouldnt work with mp

its the same vehicles

[stiff scaffold]

you never know

people assumed the same when it came to brita's weapons and armor mods

[sweet tide]

its dif for weapons

[tulip bluff]

If someone could tell me I would be grateful

[stiff scaffold]

yeah but the update was a multiplayer update

[sweet tide]

yeah exactly

[stiff scaffold]

nothing weapon related was mentioned in the patch notes

like any changes in core mechanics

[sweet tide]

well you can shoot players with weapons

they might break or cause conflicts

like the map conflict

[stiff scaffold]

that'd cause conflict if you tried to shoot other players

brita's weapons didnt even work to begin with

gave errors whenever one tried to shoot

regardless of the target

it was weird but its fixed

[sweet tide]

mussy btw

[stiff scaffold]

so thats great

[sweet tide]

i would read the comments first one that mod

may be overall broken before mp

[stiff scaffold]

lol

[left plank]

wow, modding is.... quiet???

[sweet tide]

best part of the game too

imagine if we didnt have mods

[willow estuary]

Things are slowly getting back to a nice, stable situation, as is normal when there's big changes that cause upheaval and confusion. Dawg bless all the people who have been helping with teh return to normalcy!

[tired finch]

does this work

?

[sweet tide]

check the comments i have no clue

[tired finch]

oh alr

[sweet tide]

anyone know any good clothing mods that add more overall clothing items?

that are lootable

[left plank]

this is typically a channel for modders btw

they discuss mods they're working on, and share progress and troubleshoot how to make mods. It's not really much of a #pz_b42_chat environment

[sweet tide]

was gonna say some people were complaining about mod discussion in #pz_b42_chat

not now but earlier

[willow estuary]

Yeah, it can suck up a lot of bandwidth, especially given current circumstances, although it is understandable.

[dark solar]

probably #mod_support then

[willow estuary]

Honestly though, the people who work on mods here are going to, for the most part, ignore people asking "does anyone know if XXXX works" or "anyone know of any playable ukelele mods"? And also a lot of us have no idea? We don't use and check every mod on the workshop. Sometimes they might be a bit snappy about it, although that is also understandable, albeit people should be lovely.

[sweet tide]

i dont understand why some people hate mods

they add really good features, and some fix the vanilla game

would be cool to have a mod questions channel

[left plank]

it would honestly make it more difficult to troubleshoot imo

[sweet tide]

well you keep questions for the mod in questions, like what it includes and does it work and anything more technical in support

just an idea though

[willow estuary]

That would probably be the best venue for that all things considered? Especially "does XXXX" work. That absolutely belongs in that channel.

[timid thorn]

Does anyone know how the base voip works, the settings let you pick a minimum and maximum voip range but how does that translate in game. How is the minimum 10 blocks and the maximum 300 blocks with one voice setting? 🤔

[timber furnace]

using britas weapon pack in multiplayer, how do you access mod options? i see it in build 41, but not the multiplayer beta

[dark solar]

ask #mod_support, this channel is for modding the game ^^

[timber furnace]

ok thnks

i'm making one 😏

Hi!
Does somebody knows which event could I use to run the code to change the profession cost after somebody dies in the MP and wants to create a new character?
The thing is that I change the cost of the professions using the OnGameBoot but if somebody dies and tries to create a new character the cost is vanilla again.

Towards the bottom of that file might be what you need?

How do you know if you have mods installed correctly on your multiplayer server? I added the mods in using the mod option in the settings when creating the server.

short version:
OnGameBoot calls the vanilla functions BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits and BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions which are used on the original setup, but the event isnt called during respawn, the functions are more directly called.
remove (from the event) and overwrite the original functions, then re-add to the event

@tame mulch @willow estuary will check that!! thank you!
@quasi geode sorry, didn't understand the latest part, you mean to remove the original functions? the thing is that I would like to not overwrite the vanilla functions because that would lead to overwriting whatever other modders added to an specific profession.
Let's say, Aiteron with Better Lockpicking adds a trait to Burglar, I just change the cost to Burglar but I do not overwrite it to keep compatible

[tame mulch]

You can hook to default function

sorry, my short explaination was for 'the bottom of that file' Blair directed too

[worldly olive]

Oooooh

[quasi geode]

better lockpicking uses the profession framework doesnt it?

[worldly olive]

Haven't checked the url yet, was first reading the comment haha

[quasi geode]

might just be easier to use the PF, since it handles the respawn stuff and compatibility between mods

[tame mulch]

Ping me later if there are still problems with it.

[worldly olive]

Thanks! will read the github Blair sent and study it a little bit!
If I don't get it I will ping you!! thank you a lot

People have been being so dang polite about this new mod_support channel business and guiding people to the correct channels, it's really nice. 🙂

Pat_Bren would be proud of all of you!

Question:
I'm looking for a way to visually look at the current "Room Definitions" for the latest build of project zomboid. Does anyone know a good way to get a visual view of these? Can I use WorldEd?

Does PamboS's Zombie Loot work on MP? We tried and it seems not to tick any of the percentages...

[sharp crystal]

Hello. Is it possible to combine all eris minimap plugins into one mod? Would it work pls?

[willow estuary]

#mapping is the best place, check the pinned posts or someone there will have document with them.

[willow estuary]

It's a new channel, so people don't know about it, but #mod_support is where you can go to get help with stuff like that. 🙂

[karmic tree]

Ty!

The map editors don't include a list. media\lua\server\Items\Distributions.lua has what you need, in notepad++ you can do View>Fold All, then unfold that first distribution table to get a nicely viewable list of RoomDefs.

[hollow shadow]

How does the new distribution work
