Hey all, toying with the idea of making a mod that adds custom CDs/VHS tapes, potentially ones that give skill xp. Problem is, I've no clue where to start.
Tried looking around for mods that do something similar, that i can get inspiration from, but can't find any. What's my first steps?

How easy would it be to make a mod that changes the intro music for the credits of when you begin a game, to this

Who knows how server works with zombie loot tables? In single my mod works fine, but for hosting I have to increase values to make it work

late hound
#

just make a script and refer the intro song to the name to your music file

exotic ember
#

🤣 If I ever get round to actually dabbling in this, I think this will most definitely be my first project XD

late hound
#

would be a good easy project

exotic ember
#

Good to know

#

Tbh just wanna drop it in a MP server for a friend who loves the shit out of this film

late hound
#

HMU if you need help with it when you do come around to it

exotic ember
#

Oh brilliant thanks will do!

#

Excuse me, do mods still work on multiplayer beta branch?

#

Didnt this get outdated since b41.60?

lethal sparrow
#

An updated, distributions-working version of Alfrety's Additional Sodas is planned for launch today

#

Every single thing is finally shifted over to the procedural lists of new

gritty remnant
#

@lethal sparrow hand them over

lethal sparrow
#

Uploading '.:^)

#

I've been toiling over getting the world models to work, but I

#

am taking a page out of Indiestone's book by not letting something relatively minor hold back the release of something much more important.

#

Guys, How can I fix the mods problems in B41 Multiplayer version?

gritty remnant
#

What problem

stable hare
#

The mods don't work in multiplayer

gritty remnant
#

All mods or specific ones

stable hare
#

True Actions like

gritty remnant
#

Do they not load onto the server

stable hare
#

All mods in general

stable hare
#

I've sent to my friend to put in the folder to, so it's dind't work to.

gritty remnant
#

Did you make sure to fill out both lines and the IDs. Give me sometime I'll get up from my bed and onto the PC to help you out

stable hare
gritty remnant
#

I'll make it easy for you

#

Give me sometime

stable hare
#

Wow

#

Thanks

gritty remnant
#

Now each server have two different lines within the config file which I assume you have on you

#

which has to be filled out

#

these lines look a bit like this

#

Mods=tsarslib;TMC_TrueActions;ATA_Bus;autotsartrailers;ATA_Jeep;Armored Doors and Windows;TMC_ZuperCart
WorkshopItems=2290690369;2392709985;2636100523;2282429356;2487022075;2592358528;2478768005

#

You will have to find two things

#

the Steam ID

stable hare
#

When can I find this file?

gritty remnant
#

and the ID of the mod.

#

I'll show you how to find the ID of the mod

stable hare
#

Do u mean, Steam server?

gritty remnant
#

No the actual id of the link to the steam mod

#

As an example each mod have a link

#

have you pay attention this link has a number to it

#

2392709985

stable hare
#

I don't have a Dedicated Server, I just trying play with my friend on Steam

#

Ok

gritty remnant
#

Oh

#

I'm not sure if it works the same then but I only deal with dedicated servers I can atleast explain to you how that works.

#

but at the bottom of every workshop normally depending on the mod developer

#

these things will show

stable hare
#

I don't know how can I create a Dedicated Server

#

HUhueuheuheuhheu

gritty remnant
#

heu

#

You having some fun ain't you.

#

let's drag this over to DM's.

stable hare
#

yeah

gritty remnant
#

so we don't break @lethal sparrowadvertisement

#

I want to bully him later.

lethal sparrow
#

If the issue you're having with mods is the old fashioned "Workshop item version is different than the server's", that's an easy one

#

EnigmaGrey and EricDz have supplied a solution to that problem that has worked for me every time.

#

Namely, delete everything they tell you to delete and then verify the integrity of your game files afte re-starting steam.

gritty remnant
#

@lethal sparrowHello again I need to bully you a little bit more

#

you got some spare time?

tardy bear
#

None of the delete/copy solutions worked for me when attempting mods, but simply restarting steam did work

lethal sparrow
#

Yeah, I've got time

gritty remnant
#

let me see the content

#

or I will go insane

lethal sparrow
#

Oh, it's out, it's done.

tardy bear
#

oh darn. The true actions modder disabled comments.

...

I can't blame him, I imagine the suggestions would be endless

gritty remnant
#

hand over the link

lethal sparrow
stable hare
gritty remnant
tardy bear
#

now make a sodastream mod

lethal sparrow
#

Corn syrup, mostly. The nineties were a wild time where health codes were reduced to mere suggestions.

tardy bear
#

"Tastes like all the pop!"

gritty remnant
#

as in force it down their throats.

lethal sparrow
#

No, you would only waste an incredible delight of soda

gritty remnant
#

okay.

#

I'm reporting you

tardy bear
#

I prefer my ballz

gritty remnant
#

Soda has to be weaponized

tardy bear
#

I become weapon

stable hare
lethal sparrow
#

If you want something fascinating to happen, you'll just have to wait for the release of Alfrety's Fictional Sodas, including Nuka Cola and Juggernog.

gritty remnant
stable hare
#

I will not charge for this, I do it for pleasure.

gritty remnant
#

what about Alfrety's Madness Wagon

stable hare
#

😉

gritty remnant
#

When will that release.

tardy bear
#

Can you pack them into satisfying 6packs or 12pack boxes?

lethal sparrow
#

12 pack boxes, yes.

tardy bear
#

delicious

lethal sparrow
# gritty remnant When will that release.

Long time. It hasn't even left the prototyping stage. I've gotten as far as realzing it's beyond my pay-grade to add a new moodlet to measure the player's radioactivity.

tardy bear
#

only downside of packs is that the drop rates can make them a bit silly in some mods

#

There's a guy working on custom moodlets isn't there Alfrety? Maybe a collab?

lethal sparrow
#

Granted you could probably depict the symptoms of radiation sickness with the pre-existing "pain" "uncomfortably hot" and "discomfort" but it's just not the same as seeing the symbol.

tardy bear
#

That guy has been working on some moodlet mods

#

I haven't used them, but I browse recent mods all the time

brittle jewel
#

I don't think any of those are actually custom moodlets, FYI. It changes the way the moodlets affect you, it doesn't appear to actually add any custom ones.

tardy bear
#

well, you already know more than me. I was just aware there was someone who had played with the moodlets

Can any good mod knowledged people answer my questions?;

Do "Long term survival mod" work on MP

Do"Hydrocraft" or farming fixed version work on MP

Do Gear, calf sheathe, rifle sling and advanced gear work on MP, chest rig and backpack attachments too

And lastly do Paw low loot, Swatpack and Spray mod work on MP?

#

If someone managed or tried it can answer i'd be happy

Rifle sling does not work in MP

Regarding the future of mods for multiplayer.
Will all mods that work on multiplayer be moved to the multiplayer section in the workshop or are we going to have to switch between sections to find mods for multiplayer.

Just wondering like some mods work for multiplayer but they aren't in the multiplayer section.
So I am just wondering how these sections will work to make it simpler.

Does anyone think they could help me out, I’m trying to make a fairly simple, but also quite niche mod.

I use speech to text to talk in multiplayer and it works great (apart from a few typos on occasion)

But it allows me to easily multitask in some situations.

Problem is that using the keyboard to move or clicking with the mouse cancels the text box.

Found out the controller still functions while the chat is open.

My idea is to create a mod that uses a virtual keyboard for typing so I can still use the keyboard. The end result would be allowing me to play the game as normal and still be able to speak.

I know this is a niche mod but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on here.

Thank you if you can help!

hi, is this the right channel for posting work in progress mod / questions?

#

ive been trying my luck with retextures and adding more variants to existing cars, but im not sure if im using the right base, some vehicles have lights and some use the random color selection

#

im not sure if the game still tries to give the vehicle a color and if this would be a problem

unknown.png
#

ive followed the simple tutorial of overwritting a texture on the forums, but my question is which part in the code tells the game to use a random color on the vehicle or simply use a texture

#

im using vehicle_pickupvan as a base and replaced it with my spiffo pickup retexture

pearl prism
#

There are a variety of configurations that can be found in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\shaders

pearl prism
midnight abyss
#

Its unnoticeable ingame but i think its still "trying" to give it a color below my texture, just have to see if overlays work

#

thank you

module Base
{
    model Vehicles_PickUpVan
    {
        mesh = vehicles/Vehicles_PickUpVan,
        shader = vehicle_multiuv,
        invertX = FALSE,
        scale = 0.01,
    }
    model Vehicles_PickUpVan_NoRandom
    {
        mesh = vehicles/Vehicles_PickUpVan,
        shader = vehicle_norandom_multiuv,
        invertX = FALSE,
        scale = 0.01,
    }
    vehicle PickUpVanSpiffoDon
    {
        template! = PickUpVan,

        model
        {
            file = Vehicles_PickUpVan,
            scale = 1.8200,
            offset = 0.0000 0.3022 0.0000,
        }

        skin
        {
            texture = Vehicles/vehicle_pickup_don_spiffo_shell,
        }

This is my current bit of code, im assuming some of it is obsolete

#

i can probably get rif of the model bits and use norandom multiuv correct?

pearl prism
#

The devs made a mess with this code

#

I don't think it's a good example for someone learning

midnight abyss
#

ive moved from dayz modding to pz, im not experienced just have alot of questions:P

pearl prism
#

The model Vehicles_PickUpVan_NoRandom is it right one for what you want to do

midnight abyss
#

so Vehicles_PickUpVan_NoRandom goes here file =

        model
        {
            file = Vehicles_PickUpVan,
            scale = 1.8200,
            offset = 0.0000 0.3022 0.0000,
        }
#

instead of just Vehicles_PickUpVan

pearl prism
#

If you want you can call me in private and I'll help you with that.

midnight abyss
#

its alright, i'll go through some trial and error, you already helped me a lot

pearl prism
midnight abyss

    vehicle PickUpVanLights
    {
        template! = PickUpVanLights,

        model
        {
            file = Vehicles_PickUpVanLights_NoRandom,
            scale = 1.8200,
            offset = 0.0000 0.3022 0.0000,
        }

the lights variant does the same, am i missing something?

pearl prism
#

The mess I said before is just that, the devs "preloaded" two variations of the vehicle, one with the "common shader" and the other with the "non-random shader", but they only coded for the "common shader". So this part of the "non-random shader" is unusable

pearl prism
#

As the light variation uses texture as color (uses police skin) it then uses the correct shader which would be "non-random" one

#

it's pretty simple if you stop to think

warped belfry
#

did you ever find out the solution to this?

torn stream
#

The blood thing? Nope

#

Thats the main thing that prevents me from finishing the mod lol

#

Im having the same issue lol

#

I released mine anywya

Kinda lost the motivation now

#

Just can't get it to work

I'm on vacations now so I'll keep trying soon

Glad im not the only one though lol

I could use some scripting advice here. media\lua\client\ISUI\Maps\ISMapDefinitions.lua is like a two-part script. Top half has map creation functions and whatnot, bottom half starts with this line, then goes about defining metadata for each lootable map item.

LootMaps = {}
LootMaps.Init = {}
function LootMaps.callLua(functionName, mapUI, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)
...
LootMaps.Init.MarchRidgeMap = function(mapUI)
--defining map metadata here```
How would we insert custom map mods into LootMaps? Assuming that's what we want to do.
weary matrix
#

@grizzled grove try:

LootMaps.Init.YourCustomMap = function(mapUI)
    -- your code here
end
#

YourCustomMap has to match what you define in your map scripts

grizzled grove
#

thanks! i'm actually working through someone else, and that was my assumption too. They said they had to include the LootMaps.callLua function otherwise the vanilla maps would break.

warped belfry
#

No idea why it would require 2 UV sets lol, every other program just works fine with one or generates another by itself

grizzled grove
#

I'd assume that one set has a different layout for the damage masks?

warped belfry
#

same layout

#

which is why im baffled

weary matrix
#

@grizzled grove I helped AuthenticPeach to fix his mod, I'm pretty sure we did not include LootMaps.callLua

#

@grizzled grove check the new release for Authentic Z, the answer should be there

        Type    =    Map,
        DisplayName    =    Zombie Hit-list #1,
        Map = PZAZ_hitlist1,
        Icon    =    PZAZ_hitlist,
        WorldStaticModel = Hit-list1Map,
    }

Key tag is "Map = "

grizzled grove
#

you rock, thanks!

late hound
#

do note my Bounds/resolution mapAPI:setBoundsInSquares(10540, 9240, 12990, 10480) which I found by trial and error to neatly fit my image

#

and the ", 1.0" at the end is the opacity of the image with 0 being fully transparent.

grizzled grove
#

makes sense

#

are the bounds numbers in tiles i wonder? I don't quite get why the large offsets

Did anyone has some modlist or mod recommendations for a MP B41 server? Our crew is pretty new to Zomboid modding so we want to try some things out in our next playthrough

like if you wanted to use the Biker outfit from clothing.xml you'd use Outfit_Biker

You are correct! Good guess, thank you!

It looks like 'ZombiesZoneDefnition.lua' contains the outfits as well, and that's a bit easier to read than the xml files.

@astral geode should be possible with Lua, not sure about just using scripts

sonic atlas
#

Hi all. I just found this spot and I'm hoping someone can help.

I have a fully functional single player mod that will reload a character saved via player:save and reposition them using player:set

The save files are generated and loaded properly on the server, but it does not produce the same result as on single player.

Just curious if I missed a client refresh or something else that would solve for this.

astral geode
weary matrix
#

@sonic atlas how to you manage the loading of a saved game from Lua??? 😄

#

I see how to perform a save but couldn't find a way to write back the backup to the save folder

sonic atlas
weary matrix
#

ah ok

sonic atlas
#

I'll have the singleplayer version released tonight. Just really wanted to solve for server side first.

weary matrix
#

@sonic atlas when do you call player:save()?

#

when/where

sonic atlas
#

I have it set to be on-demand with a button. function sits inside of shared lua

weary matrix
#

mmm

#

@sonic atlas how do you ensure that between the time you start the save and the time it's done, the world has not changed?

sonic atlas
#

the save is only the character which takes like a millisecond.

#

again, when running non-server, it loads the character fine. It just doesn't seem to update the character when run on server

#

even though server log confirms the load

weary matrix
#

mm weird

I can only assume the character on the server side is correct. Just the client hasn't received the update

brittle jewel
#

@astral geode If you set 'DaysFresh = 0' in your item script for the food it will spawn rotten, but that would require a new item of course.

weary matrix
#

@sonic atlas sounds possible indeed

sonic atlas
#

@weary matrix I'm going through all the possible update functions to see if anything works

weary matrix
#

@sonic atlas not sure if it will help, but for example IsoObject has a method transmitUpdatedSpriteToClients, maybe you can find something similar for players?

astral geode
brittle jewel
#

Ahh, shoot. I was just wondering about ReplaceOnRotten

astral geode
#

But I guess I could play around with adding items and see what happens.

#

Would be a simpler solution to making a custom context menu item and action

brittle jewel
#

Probably, yeah.

astral geode
#

But, eventually I'd probably want to go down the lua path anyways. Trying to add a brewing expansion to my alcoholic mod lol

I'm having some similar issues. I believe the MP server still has some work to be done on updating the client or at least providing better options for mods to force updates

weary matrix

nope, just scraping steam directly

except for the actual download I use an external website

radiant pasture

with mine, you provide a list of urls or a steam collection link, then it iterates through, lets you choose if there is more than one modid found, then puts it into an ini compatible string

#

thanks

weary matrix
#

like onPlayerUpdate for instance, but there are different events that gives you the player involved

crimson spindle
#

in my case, im looking to get it from a right click context menu on the target player

weary matrix
#

mmm

weary matrix
#

oh

#

I'm being silly

#

@crimson spindle Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu is giving you the playerId as parameter

#

like this:

function onFillWorldObjectContextMenu(playerId, context, worldobjects, test)

    local player = getSpecificPlayer(playerId)
#

mmm not sure if that would be the player you clicked on though

crimson spindle
#

ill have to try it out

weary matrix
#

@crimson spindle worst case you should be able to find the player by iterating the square objects, look in the top left corner under "Objects On Square"

Screenshot_from_2021-12-18_14-45-57.png
# 
for _, obj in ipairs(worldobjects) do
    if instanceof(obj, 'IsoPlayer') then
        -- your code
    end
end```
#

not sure if you can have two player on same square

crimson spindle
#

im still new to lua and ive seen for _, before is that the syntax for a foreach loop?

weary matrix
#

you could replace _ with any valid identifier, I just use it when I don't need the index in the loop

crimson spindle
#

gotcha

#

good news it looks like the onFillWorldObjectContextMenu will work perfectly

@crimson spindle what do you mean?

Where are the values for the non-skill traits located? stuff like speed-demon

#

@gleaming valve check here maybe: lua/shared/NPCs/MainCreationMethods.lua

#

not sure that's what you're looking for though

gleaming valve
#

specifically the things that are not skillpoints

#

for example
TraitFactory.addTrait("Axeman", getText("UI_trait_axeman"), 0, getText("UI_trait_axemandesc"), true);
doesn't really expose the value

crimson spindle
#

@weary matrix I want to create an item with a saved value on it, preferably a value that is hidden from the players, which can be used later in another function.

#

just not sure if that is even possible to do

weary matrix
#

@crimson spindle player:getModData()?

crimson spindle
#

I already have the function to get the value I want, just not sure if its possible to tie that value to an object, would that function do that?

weary matrix
#

yes

#

any class inheriting from IsoObject have it

#

you'll also have to call obj:transmitModData() after setting your value if you want it to work for MP

crimson spindle
#

got it thanks

weary matrix
#

@crimson spindle only thing, you cannot store Java objects/instances in there

#

just Lua types, int, boolean, table etc

crimson spindle

yep its just a double value so it should be fine

perfect then

txt files no longer work properly for vehicles, or at least I couldn't make them work properly in my tests

you can add/remove parts in 2 major ways, attaching separate models, or having separate meshes in the vehicle file that are hidden/shown

I'm trying to show some text when a player equips a helmet/hat/etc ("Hat" body location). Am I best off using the 'OnClothingUpdated' event? It seems to be called a lot more frequently than I'd hoped as it is called any time a players clothing is updated with blood or dirt as well, but the actual clothing item is never provided so it is difficult to filter results.

Any way of getting the world objects properties OnLoadGridsquare?

---@param _square IsoGridSquare
local function onLoadGridsquare( _square )

    local objects = _square:getWorldObjects();
    for i=0, objects:size()-1 do
        ---@type IsoObject
        local isoObject = objects:get(i);
        if isoObject then
            print(isoObject:getSpriteName());
        end
    end

end
Events.LoadGridsquare.Add(onLoadGridsquare);

for me anything return nil

brittle jewel
# 
props = isoObject:getSprite():getProperties()
#

And for an example, vanilla uses the 'props' to get the 'Wash' context menu name (sink, fancy toilet, etc)

if props:Is("CustomName") then --This is copied from the vanilla 'Wash' context menu code
    local name = props:Val("CustomName")
    if props:Is("GroupName") then
        name = props:Val("GroupName") .. " " .. name
    end
    
    return Translator.getMoveableDisplayName(name)
end
thin hornet
#

@brittle jewel just tried that

---@param _square IsoGridSquare
local function onLoadGridsquare( _square )
    local objects = _square:getWorldObjects();
    for i=0, objects:size()-1 do
        ---@type IsoObject
        local isoObject = objects:get(i);
        local props = isoObject:getSprite():getProperties();
        if props then
            print(props:Val("CustomName"));
        end
    end
end
Events.LoadGridsquare.Add(onLoadGridsquare);

it does find some IsoObjects but still everything is nil

unknown.png
#

something weird with LoadGridsquare

#

What i want to do is to edit vanilla objects when they are first loaded.
So im expecting to intercept it in Loadgridsquare and do my changes.
Otherwise it seem that all i can do it edit the object when the player first click on it (which is not the best since there is a visual change)

brittle jewel
#

Sorry, I'm not really sure. I took that code from vanilla and it works for my uses, which is just the name shown under the right click context menu.

Yeah it works but not with LoadGridsquare

hello!

#

I hope you all are doing well

#

I came here because I have a question... I cannot find a way to add items on dead zombies that doesn't duplicate :/

#

this is the current code I have for that

#

local function zombieDead(zombie)
zombie:getInventory():AddItem("ProjectChi.baseChi")
end

Events.OnZombieDead.Add(zombieDead);

#

I've tried using getPlayer(); and getPlayer:addItem(); and also doesn't work

#

I can see 1 item and each player can see 1

ruby urchin
#

OnZombieDead is a iteration?

blazing radish
#

i have no idea, I came to that function comparing different mods

ruby urchin
#

What's happen when you add print("something") inside zombieDead and you kill a zombie?

blazing radish
#

never tried to do that

#

I guess I'll try

#

but if anyone knwos how to add an item on a dead zombie that doesn't duplicate I would be really grateful if it could be shared

nimble spoke
blazing radish
#

I've looked other mods and IDK what I'm missing

ruby urchin
#

Yeah, for MP you need use getOnlinePlayers() <- returns ArrayList<IsoPlayer>

nimble spoke
#

You said you want to add the item in the zombie's inventory, didn't that wotk? Why do you need to getPlayer anyway?

blazing radish
#

I can take one, then other player can take the same item from the same body

#

sometiems if 2 or mroe players look at the same corpse, the item starts to duplicate the same time as players are looking into the corpse

nimble spoke
#

ohhhh, right. Is this item something you want in every zombie or is there a condition?

blazing radish
#

every zombie for now

#

the getPlayer() got "Inherited" due my noob knowledge while looking for examples on mods I knew they were adding stuff

#

in the end I've removed it and nothing changed, so I thought I was making a mistake

blazing radish
nimble spoke
#

zombie:addItemToSpawnAtDeath(item) <--- try this before th zombie dies

before a zombie dies it doesn't really have an inventory, unless it is a reanimated player, so you use this instead

You can double-click a file from the list on the right to display it, then double-click a line to set a breakpoint that it will stop at and load the debugger with the current local variables

#

The variable names and values will be in the box in the top-left corner. Some windows only open when you actually hit an error or a breakpoint, so you'll usually only have 2-3 windows open when you're first opening the debug menu

For doing easy coop via Steam hosting are mods for B41 as easy as selecting them and that's it?

Hello everyone, I was working on a weapons mod of mine and I'm having quite an issue. I've made my own model (I actually mixed two vanilla ones and added some stuff into them for this particular one) and as far as I know, it should work fine. I've proceeded with the simple scripting part and from what I understood it should work fine, but whenever I try to equip the weapon in-game the following error constantly happens and the game freezes/crashes.

From what I understand, it simply does not find the model for some reasons. Is there any kind of step I've missed? Any kind of particular steps I should follow during the model creation?

Thank you.

PS. The model is in .X and its inside the appropriate folder in models_X; same thing with texture, in the appropriate folder under textures.

PS2: The texture is not 128x128; in fact, it's 256x128. Though I do not believe it should be an issue as some vanilla models also use different resolutions, though I'm not sure. Thank you again.

I dont know if this is the best place to ask this. But I was wondering if someone could give a me a brief overview of the logs folder?

I saw in Bug Reports a request to include logs files, but looking at the folder I was wondering whether there was specific logs I should include or the whole thing?

Ie would it be easier to delete all the logs, start a new game and replicate the bug, then send over the logs generated by that new playthrough?

Good evening all! I just have a quick question, is it possible for a recipe to yield two results (or at least one main and produce a second item alongside as I see it)?

#

Oh I may I found what I am searching for. From what I see from the wooden logs stack code, you can call a function on performing the recipe using OnCreate.

In that exemple the following function:

-- give back the rope used
function Recipe.OnCreate.SplitLogStack(items, result, player)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Rope");
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Rope");
end

Is called in the OnCreate: of the Unstack recipe

I hopped I could do that without lua to keep things simple but I think I can't avoid it 🤔

Afternoon peeps! Just wanted to see if anyone would have an idea on how someone with minimal modding expertise could go about making something that would allow for custom spawn locations around the map?

Wanting to make something that would allow me and my group of friend to spawn in more locations around the map. (Dixie, Rural Town, Louis, etc)
If spawnpoints would have to be manually made, I don't mind doing that, but if there's a method of automation for that, awesome. Thanks for any advice/help in advance!

How does infection, health and bleeding work? From what I understand every part of the body has health, the body also has general health. Each part of the body has a level of infection, each part of the body can bleed. But how exactly does the infection increase? When the game considers us dead from a health point of view? And how did we manage the amount of blood we have left? Health = blood?

#

I have so many question if I want to make this mod

Also, what is the poison level ?

If you want you can make your own version that does

@drifting ore aren't you working on a limb amputation system?

#

@abstract raptor no I don't want it, but I guess I just misread your description on steam, I read "all fresh food" instead of "all fresh meat"

#

@abstract raptor so if you eat meat you got a 100% chance of becoming infected?

abstract raptor
#

Yep

weary matrix
#

@abstract raptor why not making it a bit random? That would spice things up a bit

pretty cool mod aza

abstract raptor

It's for my next server lore

I could make a sub mod that adds a random chance

#

But for now this is what I needed

@abstract raptor not a new mod, just add a settings (100% by default) for the chance of getting infected

drifting ore
#

finally the theory that spiffo caused it gains some credibility

that would be cool cause as of now you simply won't eat any meat, but with a random chance, if desperate enough you could still try to eat some

@abstract raptor something like this should do it:

        bodyDamage:setFoodSicknessLevel​(50)
    end
    if ZombRand(0, 100) <= 70 then
        bodyDamage:setInfected(true);
    end
