is the chance of snowfall random or does it rely on something? temperatures?

autumn rose Dec 20, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

Random question, how can I check which cell I'm in and my position within said cell? I'm trying to make a mod to set custom spawn points but I only know how to check my coordinates, which seem to be useless for this sort of thing, due to spawn points being formatted completely different as far as I'm aware.

weary matrix Dec 20, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

@dark solar with debug mode you can trigger snow, even with high temperature, but it won't make the ground snowy

#

so I don't think it is based on temperature at least

dark solar Dec 20, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

so probably just based on chance then

weary matrix Dec 20, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

should be random, based on the season probably

dark solar Dec 20, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

why?

dark solar Dec 20, 2021, 9:33 PM

it means that i have to not be lazy

#

not being a coder myself, would there be a way to make this chance higher? the mod i made myself just has never ending snow and it is a little bit annoying at times

Good evening all, do you know is there some triggerEvent("OnShout") or triggerEvent("OnShhhh") available to your knoledge? Also, do you know where I can find the list of triggerEvents and how to implement a specific action using those?

So if anyone need network communication here is how i handle it:

--- client-side
local args = {
        someData = "test",
        someMoreData = "test",
};
sendClientCommand(self.character, 'ModuleName', 'CommandName', args);

---server-side
local Commands = {};
Commands.ModuleName = {};

function Commands.ModuleName.CommandName(player, args)
    print(args.someData);
    print(args.someMoreData);
end

local function onClientCommand(module, command, player, args)
    if Commands[module] and Commands[module][command] then
        local argStr = ''
        for k,v in pairs(args) do argStr = argStr..' '..k..'='..tostring(v) end
        Commands[module][command](player, args)
    end
end
Events.OnClientCommand.Add(onClientCommand);

winged lotus Dec 20, 2021, 10:28 PM

#

Does anyone knows how to use that https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/OnKeyPressed with a key recovered from key binding with getCore():getKey("Shout"); ? Because I can't quite find a way to pass it to the function and I want this to be generic no matter the player's key bindings 🤔

I think i'll make my own mod that adds a new broadcast on the TV for a certain thing, however, can someone help me explain the process? I'm looking at another mod that does the same, but .. ```
<Channels>

All of the IDs are a mystery to me, so is the timestamps, can anyone shed some light on how I would go about making these IDs or find info about them please? And how to figure out the timestamps?

opal wind Dec 20, 2021, 10:57 PM

these IDS are just for clothing i think

weapons and itens dont need it

but those i dont know

opal wind Dec 20, 2021, 10:58 PM

#

ah

i think the guy add some new broadcasts to the TV, aparently they need iD too then

thin hornet Dec 20, 2021, 11:00 PM

@hexed arrow
Might be worth looking at getSoundManager()

local function onDusk()
  getSoundManager():PlaySound("SoundName", false, 1.0);
  getSoundManager():PlayWorldSound("SoundName", square, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, false);
end
Events.OnDusk.Add(onDusk);

#

@hexed arrow also

#

for adding sound to the game from your mod youll need a sound.txt script

#

and sounds will go into a directory you create in your media directory named 'sound'

#

exemple of a sound script

module Base {

    sound ComputerToggle {
        category = Computer: Main, 
        loop = false, 
        is3D = true,
        clip { 
          file = media/sound/ComputerToggle.ogg, 
          distanceMax = 10, 
          volume = 1.0,
        }
    }
}

#

FuelAPI is a much cleaner implementation compared to old coco liquid overhaul.
I did my best to make this as clean and non-overwritting as possible.

#

But fuel in this game is hardcoded to the simple gas can. so its not an easy task to do it.

Yes I recommend you to look at a mod that adds weapons, a not too big like Firearms. And there is a video that explains pretty well, even if there is something that could be improved. Use .fbx files for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M2fWLBLaX8

Hi, I hope this is the right channel to ask instead of #modeling but I wanted to know if anyone has an idea if it is possible to have a weapon use new firing animations? I've been successful in replacing the game's single shot animation with a faster version, but I want to make guns that use entirely new animations I am working on. I have already decompiled the source with Beautiful Java but I've been unable to find anything meaningful yet, and even if I did, I am unsure how to connect it all with the game engine.

Here is the proof of concept video I've made. My end goal is to add a MP5 with a high ROF as part of a larger modification.

crude heath Hi, I hope this is the right channel to ask instead of <#869327724504842330> but...

mostly theory since i haven't gone through the steps. If you check out the xml files in media\AnimSets\player\, any weapon-specific files have a condition linking them to a specific weapon type, like handgun or rifle. But I've a feeling it might be a rabbit hole to make a new weapon type, no idea if these things are hardcoded in java or not.

I just wanted to provide a small happy update. Your hunch, throttlekitty, and mine, were indeed correct. The animation XML detects the current firemode and can apply actions such as playing certain animations. I'm super happy about this, and was worried I would have to do some wild scripting to get this to work, but its been fairly painless after figuring out the process. As I promised, I'd like to write up a proper guide later, because I haven't seen too many mods take advantage of this, and I think it'd be great for people to know. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence that I was looking in the right place. I really appreciate the help you gave me.

#

Please forgive the silliness of the firing mode being "Ligma". I like using weird names when I test things.

Hello, stupid question but I'm not sure. I've successfully imported a model for a weapon. I've managed to set the scale and it works fine, but the model is rotated wrongly. I've tried changing the rotation in the model script, but nothing seems to happen. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks!

#

model LeadPipeScissors { mesh = weapons/melee/LeadPipeScissors, texture = weapons/LeadPipeScissors, attachment world { offset = 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000, rotate = 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000, } }

#

The model ^ Changing rotate does not change anything.

crude heath Dec 21, 2021, 8:09 AM

Assuming you're using Blender, have you applied your rotation transformations in Blender before exporting? That might fix it

Yeah. I basically duplicated the AssaultRifleDefault.xml and made a new .xml file. In this file I changed its <m_name> to match the new .xml file name, and under <m_Conditions> I check that the firemode is "Ligma". Then, I changed the <m_AnimName> </m_AnimName> to reference my new firing animation

Is it possible to get access to all player's data on my server through players.db using Lua? From what I've gathered, it seems this data is parsed by IsoPlayer:load on java. I only want access to basic data, like zombies killed, hours survived. I know how to do that with OnlinePlayers, but I want to have access to all current active players.

Sorry again for another question: I've managed to import succesfully a model and my weapon in game, I still face one issue, though. The model only shows on the char's back/when I'm holding it.

How should I proceed implementing models on the ground aswell? Thank you!

@flint bolt mmm players.db is a SQLite database, haven't seen anything to read those from Lua. Unless you find a library in pure Lua I'm afraid it's not meant to happen. Easiest would be to have an external tool to extract the data you need, and make it available to Lua through a file you could easily parse. Maybe there's a way to access the info with the Lua modding API but I don't really know how

#

it all depends what info you need exactly

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

weary matrix <@!236526794315005965> mmm players.db is a SQLite database, haven't seen anythin...

Yeah, I wanted to see if there was a parser available from the exposed classes. Don't want to go through the work of understanding every byte from the data 😦

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

@gentle crater oh maybe check this one: getOnlinePlayers()

#

it's a global function

#

returns an ArrayList

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

Yeah, this one gets only the online players, ideally I would like to get data from offline players as well!

#

So far, what I've decided to do is store the data (by using getOnlinePlayers) in a .txt file every time there is a update to the data I'm interested in, and then this file will be my "db"

#

I want to generate a ranking for my server, that can be displayed on Discord using other tools

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 11:57 AM

#

@flint bolt then I guess your best bet is using an external tool. For example if you know a bit about scripting (like bash etc) this command would probably give you what you need:
$ sqlite3 players.db "SELECT * FROM networkPlayers"

#

for example on my server this returns this info:
1|servertest|admin|0|Caroline Fitzpatrick|12474.6083984375|4332.4794921875|0.0|186||0

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 11:58 AM

#

weary matrix <@!236526794315005965> then I guess your best bet is using an external tool. For...

Done that, but the players' data, that contains data like zombies killed and hours survived is stored in bytes, so I have to go through a lot of work to understand how to parse it correctly

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 11:58 AM

#

mmm true there seems to be a big blob of data in there

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 11:59 AM

#

Yup. I did manage to find the bytes that correspond to the data that I want by trial and error, but since the blob can change in size, this is not the right way heh.

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:01 PM

#

@flint bolt you could check IsoPlayer.load() method, this is the one parsing the blob I think

#

for example I can see this:

this.setZombieKills(byteBuffer.getInt());```

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:01 PM

#

Exactly! But since Java is not my main language, it did give me a headache 😆

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:02 PM

#

it shouldn't be too hard, it takes a byte buffer as parameter, which is a buffer containing the blob in db

#

you just have to check all the access to this parameter like byteBuffer.get(), byteBuffer.getInt() etc

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:04 PM

#

I did try to find the data by checking the order in which each get is executed, and knowing the size in bytes of each type in Java (int, double, etc), but something is weird. For example, zombie kills is right at the beginning of the buffer, but by my experiments, it seems that this data is stored near the end of the bytes that I got fom sqlite.

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:06 PM

#

@flint bolt I guess this is why:

        byte byte1 = byteBuffer.get();
        byte byte2 = byteBuffer.get();
        super.load(byteBuffer, int1, boolean1);

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:06 PM

#

It jumps two bytes and then I don't really understand what happens at super.load, right?

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:06 PM

#

it reads two bytes from the buffer, then it calls the super.load() on the byte buffer, which is IsoGameCharacter.load(), this one is reading a lot of values from the buffer

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:06 PM

#

Oooooooh

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:07 PM

#

guess that's why the value you expect are near the end

#

it would be best to find another way of getting that info though, because basically every time the dev will change the format of the blob it would break your mod

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:09 PM

#

Fair point, I guess I will stick to generating a .txt file with the data I need from the online players everytime there is a change. Then I can easily parse those files

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

indeed, seems more reliable on the long term

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:10 PM

#

Thanks a lot for the help @weary matrix ! 👍

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

pretty sure you should be able to get the info from Lua though

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:11 PM

Yup, I already know how to get the zombie kills from each player inside online players

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:12 PM

@flint bolt mmm what about adding an event handler for onCreatePlayer? That way you can store the player IDs somewhere, then call getSpecificPlayer to get the corresponding player instance?

#

Does getSpecificPlayer work for offline players?

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

@flint bolt maybe getSaveInfo() can help

#

also maybe this one, getPlayerByOnlineID, not sure if the onlineID are constant for a given player though

#

@flint bolt you can call player:getZombieKills()

flint bolt Dec 21, 2021, 12:27 PM

#

weary matrix <@!236526794315005965> you can call player:getZombieKills()

This is my current approach, loop through online players and call getZombieKills

Hi all, this is kind of driving me crazy, I though maybe you could help me, I recover the list of the current actions for a character:

when the character is idle and I log this value, it prints

then I want to create a condition to avoid calling get(0) on it if it is empty
though I just can't make a single if that works. I tried using # to get lenght or checking for nil.
None works and it always fail in error (# even saying that __len does not exist for operator).
Am I missing something obvious?

weary matrix Dec 21, 2021, 12:46 PM

Hey modders, I just identified a potential issue for those of you that use Item Tweaker or override game items in a similar way: DO NOT override new items for now, as people are updating their old saves and servers to build 41.65, it causes a java error and makes people unable to play those saves

#

Items such as pumpkin, mango and others that were added in 41.65

Are there any resources (preferably written) on loot distribution? Specifically adding a new item into loot without overwriting vanilla loot. Anything I find on the discord or forums seems to be outdated for the old loot system or doesn't explain how to do this.

I've added in items, recipes, and done some basic scripts for mods but item distributions and spawns are still confusing me. I've made some content I really enjoy just no idea how to get it to start spawning/appearing in the world properly.

Thanks!

#

[Or if anyone knows of a mod that does stellar, clear loot distribution for their custom items so I could dissect and learn how they did it]

Good evening all, I am currently strugling with the following issue.

I recover a timed action:
currentActionLua = ISTimedActionQueue.getTimedActionQueue(player).current
then I can check its type to make sure it is an action relevant to moving items around
if (currentActionLua.Type == "ISInventoryTransferAction") or (currentActionLua.Type == "ISGrabItemAction") then
finally I would like to do things with the item itself that is part of this action
yet, currentActionLua.item returns nil and I am a bit stuck here.

Am I missing something? or am I looking in the wrong place? I just can't manage to access it from outside and I would really like to avoid having to overload these classes for so little 🤔

Yes indeed, here is an example from one of my mods:

function ISBuildMenuDowel.CraftDowelsfromBranch(items, result, player)

    -- Extra twigs chance is 10% per carpentry level
    -- Rolled once for one extra twigs
    local chance = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Woodwork)*10
    if ZombRand(0,100) < chance then
        player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Twigs")

Not sure if it was somewhere here https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events or directly from looking into Indie Stones' implementations of OnPerform functions. It appears that those are the standard parameters for this kind of function. It is a bit of an empirical method I must admit.

#

From what I understand you are looking to create a OnCanPerform function right? Here you can see how this was done by TIS in media/lua/server/recipecode.lua

-- Example OnCanPeform function.

winged lotus From what I understand you are looking to create a `OnCanPerform` function right...

Not sure, I want to authorize a recipe only if player:getModData().my_variable = true

#

And when the recipe is use, run a lua function

#

Ok i get the lua dunction to run when I use the recipe

#

Or I just thought of something better, can I add action to the saw? That I can right click and that gives me a custom option?

quasi geode Dec 22, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

drifting ore Not sure, I want to authorize a recipe only if `player:getModData().my_variable ...

use OnTest in your recipe. for example:

  recipe Remove Battery
   {
     keep Torch/HandTorch/Rubberducky2,

     Result:Battery,
     Time:30,
     OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.TorchBatteryRemoval,
     OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.TorchBatteryRemoval,
     StopOnWalk:false,
   }

In lua/server/recipecode.lua there exists the function:

-- Return true if recipe is valid, false otherwise
function Recipe.OnTest.TorchBatteryRemoval (sourceItem, result)
    return sourceItem:getUsedDelta() > 0;
end

#

if the function returns false, the recipe is invalid

junior flame Dec 22, 2021, 12:40 AM

#

This is a little nitpicky, since functionally it is a-okay...but does anyone know what is causing this huge gap to appear between the recipe icon, and the recipe result name? I've noticed on several items added via mod, but looking through them I can't deduce what causes it.

How do I add a variable to the player?
I tried player:getModData().IsCut_handRight = False and then return player:getModData().IsCut_handRight but it's not working.
I also tired player:getModData()[IsCut_handLeft] = False and then return player:getModData()[IsCut_handLeft] but same
I also tired player:getModData()['IsCut_handLeft'] = False and then return player:getModData()['IsCut_handLeft'] but same
Edit: it was that = False not work

thin hornet Dec 22, 2021, 3:15 AM

technically there is no mod order if things are done properly

mods that require files should use require() which will force the "load order" of things.

tight blade Dec 22, 2021, 4:26 AM

Isn't there a way to add an extra modifer to skills like Strength.
I.E Instead of the melee damage multiplier being 100% at level 5, it's at say 110% melee damage at level 5 with a trait.

Mostly wanting to add traits that replace Strong and Athletic with a different version that doesn't add the +4 to the skills, but you get benefit of an permanent multiplier for owning that skill.
I feel like I've been looking in the wrong place for it or I just can't.

Is there a better way to reduce pain than flat out setting the pain in the players stats? like so.

function KapMedTakeBlackSageTincture(items, result, player)
    -- Reduce Pain by 20.
    if player:getStats():getPain() > 0 then
        player:getStats():setPain(player:getStats():getPain() - 20);
    end
end

This removes the pain instantly and lets the pain come back relatively quickly, how should I have pain meds work better?

I haven't modded for PZ before but have for others, how hard would it be to just change the xp scaling by starting skill ranks so it's less extreme. So instead of 25%/100%/125%/150%, its like 75%/100%/125%/150%. Even a work around like 0 cost trait that gives 3x xp gains to skills that started at 0 would be fine to me.

weary matrix <@!272854230417539072> nice, but what does it have to do with not doing any modd...

the night vision script broke with the new update, until that fixed or I get the urge will not be doing anything :]

weary matrix <@!214160353758543872> what about <https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/Ad...

hmmm so edit it to give like 2x or 3x on 0 skilled(to start) skills... I wish I could just find where they coded the xp system, or is it only LUA stuff we can change i guess? As I said I haven't done any coding for PZ before.

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

@real geyser my thought is you could register a handler for the AddXP event, so that everytime a player gains XP, depending on the perk and current level you could add a multiplier for the value being added

#

never tried that event though, so not 100% sure it's working as I imagine

thin hornet Dec 22, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

argh seriously such a pain to test and make mp mods

#

im seriously tired

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

also the Perk* class are exposed to Lua, so maybe you could override the game perks with yours, having custom required xp for each level

thin hornet Dec 22, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

freaking workshop not updating as it should version mismatch

#

etc

#

just anoying asf

#

sorry for the rant im about to go crazy

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

@thin hornet version mismatch when hosting a game?

real geyser Dec 22, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

atm my thought is to just start with everything at lvl 1 baseline(0 cost trait or the such), then thigns that give 1 skill point increase xp by 25% instead of 4x, but still prefer if I could just change the base multipliers

thin hornet Dec 22, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

@weary matrix yeah im not going to copy over local mod to my computers to test so i just push to a workshop test mod, and i expect it to update on every device as it should, but it take more time to just try and open the game than actually testing my mod

#

im going nut

#

there got to be a way that is efficient

#

to work with mp

#

a mod reload command or anything would have been the best thing ever just like in fivem. Also server could have streamed the mods to the clients instead of a subscription system.

#

Client connect to server, server send client mods (store in cache) validate, and boom. No need for subs to tons of mods. Just join a server and get what this server have.

wet osprey Dec 22, 2021, 5:17 PM

how can I fix this? or the only way is removing the mod?

I've added a few more plants that can be foraged, and then you can make special teas & tinctures that have effects that last for hours.

#

It also has a TV show that gives foraging XP, with the host explaining what each plant does in an immersive way.

it's been updated to "work" for release 41.60 few days ago, not sure how usable it is though

#

@thin hornet I just subscribe once to get the mod in steam mod folder, link that to ~/Zomboid/mods/, then I just edit the files directly

#

until I get something good enough to push to workshop

#

@thin hornet also I made an empty mod that only has a mod.info basically, so I can enable/disable it in mod list, so that will refresh the mods

#

I still have to quit current game though

@winged lotus two halo notes or two lines?

But two lines could be a valid solution too!

#

@winged lotus well for two lines just try to do something like "line1\nline2"

At the moment you can cut your arm at 3 levels. You can no longer equip object in the hand that was cut, but you can equip a wooden hook to do it again at an efficiency cost.

#

The operation is very dangerous. High infection rate and if the bleeding is not healed quickly, you die. Also since the hand is at health = 0, it takes a long time. The goal is for it to take within 2-3 days of doing nothing to heal and then 2 weeks of slow healing.

So I've found in the ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua the line of code that disables the ability to sleep if you're either too much in pain, or too awake. My knowledge is pretty lacking in writing mods for PZ, is it possible to write a mod that overwrites the base game's functionality for all context menus to turn all sleepOption.notAvailable = true; to false?

I looked through the code for the True Actions mod that lets you lie in beds and it seems the same block of code was repurposed there to let you sleep while laying down, changing all the true entries to false in that mod lets me sleep whenever I want when lying down, I'm looking to be able to sleep whenever I want in all other situations too.

    {
        destroy EmptyJar,
        destroy JarLid,
        WhiskeyFull;10,
        Ginseng=2/GinsengRoot=2,

        Result:GinsengTinctureMaturing,
        Time:300.0,
        Category:Health,
        NeedToBeLearn    : true,
    }

I know you can use / to use different items,

Like
Keep KitchenKnife/HuntingKnife etc, but can I do the same with unit amount?

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

@blissful meteor oh, there's a global function addVehicle(string)

#

try something like this: addVehicle("Base.CarTaxi")

#

@lunar jungle so try to copy paste this function: ISWorldObjectContextMenu.createMenu in your mod

#

it's in media/lua/client/ISUI/ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua

#

@abstract wave not sure but I think you have to make two recipes, like one with 2 item A, and the other with 2 item B

#

not 100% sure though

#

@oak cipher you should ask in #mod_support if you need support

thin hornet there got to be a way that is efficient

The way I am updating and developing AuthenticZ now is I uploaded a separate testing variation as an unlisted mod. So, then I update the testing branch and conduct my tests on my local server.

blissful meteor Dec 22, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

@weary matrix yeah I tried addvehicle like that but it didn't work. would I need to call a location. Like on the players location or can pick co-ords?

#

@late hound , I like what you did with Authentic Z. I made unique Z but I like yours expanded so much more

#

I was looking through some of your lua about making the zed zones, I'm going to use something similar for my server.

May need some help if I get stuck

@ebon grotto I'd love a mod where you can choose the old one, or the new one, or both randomly

@stiff urchin you can just create your own tooltips

had to use this fmod tool to un-bank the zomboidsound.bank file, then i replaced the meta_alarm_whatever it was called with the OG one (had to be converted to stereo, ~9s loop), then re-banked https://www.nexusmods.com/rugbyleaguelive3/mods/2?tab=docs

I'd just consider that an arduous workaround, didn't know if there was a simple, more vanilla way to do it.

ebon grotto Dec 22, 2021, 11:55 PM

#

since it's fmod, no workshop mods can easily just change between the two

#

but i'll send my .bank that has the og house alarm rq

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 11:55 PM

#

@ebon grotto ah so you overwrite the bank files from the game?

ebon grotto Dec 22, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

na more like

#

i uncompress the bank, and overwrite the 1 sound file among the ~1000 thats in the bank

#

then i re-compress it

#

goes in: steam/steamapps/common/projectzomboid/media/sound/banks (be sure to backup the old one, idk if my change broke anything)

#

1 min it's a ~500mb file lol

weary matrix Dec 22, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

@ebon grotto so you have to overwrite the bank file from the game with your modified version of it right?

Think I explained poorly or there was a misunderstanding. By custom tooltip I just meant text under an item without having to reference a vanilla one. I was worried about overwriting all the vanilla tooltips. Turns out I can write the custom tooltip I was looking for with a Tooltip_EN.txt in the translations -> EN folder.

#

But I figured it out, thanks for the help!

weary matrix Dec 23, 2021, 12:44 AM

@drifting ore try this, for me it's removing the first entry from context menu "Walk To":

    context.numOptions = context.numOptions - 1
    context.height = context.height - context.itemHgt
    context.scrollAreaHeight = context.scrollAreaHeight - context.itemHgt
    table.remove(context.options, 1)
