yeah it is

thin hornet
#

I think your code is applied before the connection is completed tho?

willow estuary
#

Yeah, it should be restricted to admins only, but I use debug to test my MP stuff and it works, when locally hosted at least?

#

Alright ill test and tell the result

pine vigil
#

I mean me writing shoddy code would be the least surprising thing. Maybe I accounted for that? Or maybe someone changed it after I left.

#

The block was built as more of stop gap measure at the time

willow estuary
#

Yeah, I do some really funky stuff in MP with global mod data and I couldn't imagine developing it w/o the access to veiwing GMD that debug mode provides?

thin hornet
#

Would be nice if isAdmin gave default access to debug tool

potent root
#

When I register for an even like this Events.OnPlayerDeath.Add(createToken);
The code is running on client side. how can I make the same subscription on server side?

# pine vigil It actually might.

i set my client debug mode through the .json file

#

ill try checing the server settings..

pine vigil
thin hornet
#

Dedicated server on linux ubuntu 20

pine vigil
thin hornet
#

Yeah

#

i even disabled my local version to use the "workshop" version

pine vigil
#

Then I'm not sure I'm afraid, sorry.

thin hornet
#

Yeah no worry ill keep reading that source code xD

#

The error actually come from

--- scripting/objects/Item.java
public void setModID(String var1) {
      if (GameClient.bClient) {
         if (this.modID == null) {
            this.modID = var1;
         } else if (!var1.equals(this.modID) && Core.bDebug) {
            WorldDictionary.DebugPrintItem(this);
            throw new RuntimeException("Cannot override modID. ModID=" + (var1 != null ? var1 : "null"));
         }
      }

   }
#

might have to validate files or reinstall maybe an scripts/items.txt has been edited by mistake nope

#

oh well ill have to live without debug mode 😆

When I register for an even like this Events.OnPlayerDeath.Add(createToken);
The code is running on client side.
How can I make the same subscription on server side?

#

does anybody know?

thin hornet
potent root
#

how do I know what events trigger on what side?

thin hornet
#

you browse the source code

potent root
#

the Java?

thin hornet
#

yes you search your event in there and check if it run only one side or if both side are handled
you will see something like GameClient.bClient == true

potent root
#

😄

analog umbra
stark flame
#

are silencers part of vanila game? or just brita?

potent root
#

is the Java code indexed somewhere or do I need to look at my local and decompile the java classes

thin hornet
#

You will have to decompile it, source code is not publicly available

tacit ermine
#

you want OnCharacterDeath

thin hornet
potent root
#

yes or OnPlayerDeath

tacit ermine
#

no, OnPlayerDeath is local only

#

OnCharacterDeath fires on the server

thin hornet
#

only run on client as far as i found

#

nice

tacit ermine
#

click the super.OnDeath()

#

that's where the other one runs

potent root
#

that is very useful

#

thanks a lot guys

thin hornet
#

IsoGameCharacter.java

unknown.png
#

i guess it run client and server in this case

drifting ore
potent root
#

I am gessing Character means more than just the players

tacit ermine
#

also zombies and (eventually) npcs

thin hornet
#

every class that extends from it yes

potent root
#

that us very useful I ned to get the java decompiled

drifting ore
thin hornet
potent root
#

I could not find this info in the javadoc (known which side event fires)

tacit ermine
#

everyone uses fernflower

#

they're just invoking it in a different way

#

drifting ore
thin hornet
#

@tacit ermine yeah but @weary matrix is back with some javamod

tacit ermine
#

I already wrote my own framework

thin hornet
#

nice

#

I should make myself a java mod to enable debug mode but thats never that easy.

tacit ermine
#

what do you mean enable debug mode? I just pass -debug on the command line

thin hornet
#

yeah i cant join my server with it, something wrong with items and world dict

lapis scroll
#

How trivial would it be to make certain tiles (i.e. garage doors) invincible to player (or all) damage? (i.e. don't let players break garage doors)

#

is there a function I can hook into when a tile is attacked?

#

(not via Destroy - already figured this out, just via general damage)

tacit ermine
#

can just patch out the mod ID check

thin hornet
#

mhm ill check this out thanks

potent root
#

Is there a method to update client or server data for a player?
I noticed yesterday that If I have a client side code that uses AddExp() for example to give the player exp the client sees that instantly but I was logged it as admin and I did not see the other player change till he relogged

tacit ermine
#

it's sent to the server every time you call AddXp

#

stats aren't usually networked to other players

#

the only time they are is for that admin panel

potent root
#

that is why the Admin player did not see the change

tacit ermine
#

and the admin panel requests the stats from the server for the player you select when you open it

potent root
#

seems it does not do it every time

tacit ermine
#

show your full AddXp call

#

one of the parameters is an option that prevents it being sent

potent root
#

if tostring(i) == "Sprinting" then
player:getXp():AddXP(perk, increaseXP/SandboxVars.XpMultiplier);
elseif tostring(i) == "Fitness" or tostring(i) == "Strength" then
player:getXp():AddXP(perk, increaseXP);
else
player:getXp():AddXPNoMultiplier(perk, increaseXP*4/SandboxVars.XpMultiplier);
end

tacit ermine
#

looks to me like it is always sent in those cases

#

what makes you think it isn't?

potent root
#

seems the server gets it but the admin player does not see it reflected

tacit ermine
#

yes, that's what I said

#

the admin panel has a special call to get stats for another player

potent root
#

is there a way to force it to resend it or refresh the admin player?

#

I see

#

well it is a minor issue

tacit ermine
#

yeah you can probably just call the same thing the admin panel does

#

but it only works for admins

hollow shadow
#

does the conditionmodifier mean that the item gets 20% more durability each time i repair it?

unknown.png
tacit ermine
#

and after applying the skill bonus

hollow shadow
#

also is there a way to assign a custom sound to the fixing?

#

and what determines how much is repaired? is it the Fixer?

#

and what does globalitem do except for being used in all Fixers below

lapis stump
#

is it possible to persist a value in my server script after restart ?

tacit ermine
hollow shadow
#

how does the game know which item is better

#

for repairing

tacit ermine
#

X axis is the number of times repaired, b is the difference in skill levels, c is ConditionModifier

hollow shadow
#

2 scrapmetals should repair less than 1 smallsheetmetal in my recipe

tacit ermine
#

it's order of appearance I think

# 
      switch(arg2.getFixers().indexOf(arg3)) {
      case 0:
         var4 = 50.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      case 1:
         var4 = 20.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      default:
         var4 = 10.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
      }
#

first gets a multiplier of 50, second 20, third 10

Hey modders! I made a backpack that should only be spawned by server admins

And I want to do it with a lot of itens

#

just another skin

but only for admins

then I will need to create the xml?

well, if you want it to be visible then yes

have some tool?

Was just messing around with the attechement editor in debug mode, and found there's an attachement point for "knife_belt_back", which when parenting a knife to it, put's it to the back, as if there was a back belt slot. Hints at a future feature? A leftover from a mod? Watcha think?

why is player:getBodyDamage():getBodyParts() giving an err of '_len not defined' ? I can see that bodyParts in object stack has a bunch of values btw.

marble folio
quasi geode
#

ah cool thanks. i suspect it will work fine but havent just tested that part yet

ionic galleon
#

in java and noticed a pattern that some changes are easier done in lua that java

#

since editing class files is not fun with all the errors

#

since on server side steam doesn't do anything, ur changes are safe

#

as an example I added combat logs to a server I'm in

#

in a different file and several new admin commands

#

however when it comes to adding something like a reputation system it would be much nicer to use lua

#

and since your framework can add lua callback that means less changes have to be made on the java side

sour island
#

you're trying to get a size on it?

weary matrix
#

@ionic galleon ah yeah I see. So you've made javamods already?

sour island
#

quick recovery

ionic galleon
#

or rather kinda they are intended for to be used on the server side alone

weary matrix
#

@ionic galleon hmm so for example if you add a global function only on server side, you can still call it from client side or what?

ionic galleon
#

here is an example

# 
[13-01-22 21:08:28.072][PVP] MikkiGBreezys attacked Goggarinn and did 0.5 damage.```
weary matrix
#

ah I see

ionic galleon
#

or another example is event boards

#

custom admin commands

#

only need to be added on the server side

weary matrix
#

yeah for custom commands it should work ok

#

haven't really tried it yet though

tacit ermine
#

I do the same to export metrics from the server to Grafana

#

lots of use-cases for server only mods

ionic galleon
#

since they don't use reflection at all

#

for whatever reason

weary matrix
#

@ionic galleon what do you mean manually?

indigo spire
#

Is there a mod to adjust reading time? I checked the usual sources and found nothing. I triple checked the sandbox settings and couldn't find anything there. The trait is laughable and not worth taking.

ionic galleon
#

and add your class to childrenClasses

spiral plover
#

Hmm, so with the new additions of the global ModData in 41.51, does that mean the old ways of things such as local gt = getGameTime(); local modData = gt:getModData(); is obsolete? Do I need to change everything over to using the ModData.get() etc functions?

weary matrix
#

@ionic galleon yeah but you can do it directly from a javamod using a Patch?

#

no need to recompile it yourself I mean

ionic galleon
tacit ermine
#

you can modify classes at runtime before they load

ionic galleon
#

commandBase doesn't check for sub types

weary matrix
#

@ionic galleon just implement getPatches() in your javamods and you won't need to recompile anyting 😛

ionic galleon
ionic galleon
tacit ermine
#

function and field pointers?

ionic galleon
#

in dot net u can change methods in runtime

#

at anytime

weary matrix
ionic galleon
#

since it's just a pointer

tacit ermine
#

what

#

no you can't

ionic galleon
#

yes u can

#

however u can't add new fields

weary matrix
ionic galleon
#

however if you interrupt the loading of a dll you can even add fields and enums in runtime

ionic galleon
#

xD

tacit ermine
#

yeah, you can do the exact same thing on the JVM

ionic galleon
#

as I said java is not my thing.

#

hmmm

weary matrix
ionic galleon
#

well, that would make my threats feel empty I would have to find something else to threaten u for

            bodyPart:setBurnTime(10);
        end
    end
#

its pretty much the same thing but i get the len error

#

and in objectstack it shows theres body parts

drifting ore
#

Where do you can that ? Maybe before the player is create

willow estuary
#

You might be applying getBodyDamage() to the wrong "player"?
The code uses player for the player index and player object indiscriminately, so it can be confusing sometimes.

lapis stump
#

I get player with specficiplayer by online id

#

and the obj stack thing shows the right player because I can look at the name

drifting ore
#

Where can I see the IP of my server In game ?

drifting ore
sour island
#

😛

tacit ermine
#

what do you mean pretty much the same thing?

#

if you've wrote #bodyParts, that'd be wrong

sour island
#

So wait size() shouldn't be size()-1?

brittle jewel
#

It's gotta be your player being incorrect.

tempTestFunc = function(key)
    if key == 51 then
        local bodyParts = getSpecificPlayer(0):getBodyDamage():getBodyParts();
        for i=1,bodyParts:size() do
            local bodyPart = bodyParts:get(i-1)
            if not bodyPart:isBurnt() and getSpecificPlayer(0):isOutside() then 
                print("true")

#

Yes

brittle jewel
#

Ahh okay, just add -debug to the end of the line starting with ".\jre64\bin\java.exe"

drifting ore
#

Nice thx

brittle jewel
#

Client only, I don't think you need to/can make a server debug(?)

drifting ore
#

Ok good to know

#

Just make sure you have your user you'll log as with admin access level or the server may not let a -debug client load in

brittle jewel
#

You can always setaccesslevel username admin in the server console to allow them in with debug

drifting ore
#

Ok I will put me admin, I was wondering how

Trying to call ModData.transmit("myModTableKey") from the server to send to the client, following the instruction:

This triggers the OnReceiveGlobalModData event on the client perfectly with the key, but it seems to be missing any modifications I made to the table.

It would be interesting for those attempting a 28 Days Later style run, surviving long enough for the majority of infected to starve to death, but small pockets of infected will remain here and there to make enough a threat, alongside respawn times if set right. So the peak populations starve, but respawns still give you the threat of infected.

I think it'll make the game too easy

#

You can just gather food, get a van and sit on the wilderness for 4 weeks near some lake

#

Although I barely survived for 1 week

#

Now that I think about it, zombie starvation mod would add a possibility of winning. Just make it no respawn as a new character and that would be pretty interesting.

anybody knows what this entry is about?

item Glue
{
DisplayCategory = Material,
Weight = 0.1,
Type = Drainable,
UseDelta = 0.2, <----------------------------------------------- ????
UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
DisplayName = Glue,
Icon = Glue,
Tooltip = Tooltip_FixItems,

}

fiery hollow
willow estuary
opal wind
#

from where did you get that '1' ?

#

or its like allways 1?

junior flame
opal wind
#

so if i want like a large glue i could just make a new item and set the UseDelta to 0.1 then i could use 10 times?

junior flame
#

more or less, yeah

opal wind
#

the weight have nothing to do with it?

fiery hollow
#

no

opal wind
#

but then how come the water bottle change the weight as we drink it?

junior flame
#

well yeah, item weight will decrease with each delta use

opal wind
#

hum

#

i will create a new item later and test it

drifting ore
junior flame
#

it's pretty straight forward. it - like everything else in PZ modding - has it's quirks. the decimals get a little silly sometimes; when setting a usedelta of 0.1, it doesn't use exactly 0.1 of the 1.0, never really figured that out

opal wind
#

on the glue case there would be 0.1 kg for 5 uses so 10 uses would be 0.2kg and delta = 0.1 makes sense i think i saw the glue weight 0.08 once when i used it playing

#

i will test that out and let u guys know later

#

thanks!

fiery hollow
#

that's what wiki says

opal wind
#

lmao

#

nvm dude i will test it myself 😉

#

i let u know later

#

how many days

#

since wipe

drifting ore
#

idk like 15 maybe

#

we added a shit ton of mods

#

its pretty cool except the fact we have to restart the server for each mod update

#

:((

fiery hollow
#

:MEGADANK:

opal wind
#

NotARealName was right i just test the regular glue in-game and it wont reduce weights with uses

#

the only difference i found betheen water botle and glue is this

#

CanStoreWater = TRUE,

#

i guess only water and gasoline do that

fiery hollow
#

it's probably coded in the engine

opal wind
#

i guess

fiery hollow
#

wtf

#

why

opal wind
#

its not a big problem for me anyway i still can make my large glue lol

#

i just give it more weight i guess

#

PZ give us just this school glue 😄

junior flame
#

hmm, all of my drainable items decrease in weight as they are consumed...not sure why your results are saying otherwise

fiery hollow
fiery hollow
#

and not neccecary to add

junior flame
#

weight is always updated upon use of an item, referenced from zombie/inventory/types/DrainableComboItem.java ... you can have some control over it; you can use WeightEmpty = n when defining your item to have it scale from it's starting weight to that weight instead, when used. so yeah, the change on woodglue with it weighing 0.1 would be negligible

fiery hollow
#

it says DrainableComboItem

#

so do you have make like full glue bottle and empty glue bottle

#

for it work

spark plank

took me long enough, but it was staring me in the face "player.say" is the client side of life, where it doesn't even interact with chat and thus never gets passed on the server. Why did I have to try it even after being warned? because I'm stubborn ^^'

Still have to wait for my mate to connect the server (cos my machine cant handle 2 pz open) but solo testing did gave me the "chat interaction".

My only doubt is: does it trigger the sound? (not shout, just "speak" sound - as that would be neat)

cant remember which file it place them in but if you run zomboid in debug mode it should auto press f11 to see the errors

hidden estuary
#

oh oki

#

ty

mint sphinx
#

just remember you cant join a server with out admin account if you open the game in debug mode

mint sphinx
#

@thin hornet going to be a damn long messenger you going to type

thin hornet
#

@iron salmon Is it possible to remove the debug check that throw and stop the game from running in future patch please.

In: zombie\scripting\objects\Item
Line: 2661 to 2664

    public void setModID(String var1) {
        if (GameClient.bClient) {
            if (this.modID == null) {
                this.modID = var1;
            } else if (!var1.equals(this.modID) && Core.bDebug) {
                WorldDictionary.DebugPrintItem(this);
                throw new RuntimeException("Cannot override modID. ModID=" + (var1 != null ? var1 : "null"));
            }
        }
    }

This check only throw in debug mode on a MP client.
It is useless as it is now, cause it doesn't give info about what exact item is faulty.
Without debug mode you can join the server and the items are working.
With debug mode it just throw for but doesn't help in anyway to fix the "problem".

Error that it throw look like:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot override modID. ModID=MyModWhatEver

When it should:
A) Tell what item is fautly
or
B) Do nothing just like without debug mode on

Thanks TIS if you can fix this.

tacit ermine
#

would it not be better to post a bug report on the forum rather than pinging a single dev on discord

#

that message is gonna be like 20 pages up within the hour

thin hornet
#

This is why i pinged Nasko directly, so he can relay it to the dev team.

#

At least that what i was told to do at some point in the past.

#

But yeah might as well just try it on the forum im just not very active there.

tacit ermine
#

oh fair enough

thin hornet
#

I dont think i have an account

#

lol

tacit ermine
#

this channel moves quite fast, I jsut assume things would get missed

#

you can post without an account on the TIS forum, I think

thin hornet
#

forums are like 1993

#

Discord is the future 😛

mint sphinx
#

yea even the bug forum is more or less useless xD

mint sphinx
tacit ermine
#

sure

#

I'd personally have pings disabled

#

a lot of people do too

thin hornet
#

So guys, im trying to override some Base items in a scripts.
But t with debug mode game wont let me join, without it i can join and the overriding works.

mint sphinx
#

almost no one ping me ^^but i only have eneable direct ping

thin hornet
#

im trying

module Base {
  imports {
    Base,
  }

Wouldnt't that be the proper way of doing it?

mint sphinx
thin hornet
#

Yeah join in debug mode is ok

#

Im allowed

#

The thing is that check i filled in the message to nasko

#

It throw an error just because debug is on

gilded hawk
#

I'm so damn confused where is the code that handles the food unhappines O.o.
media\lua\client\TimedActions\ISEatFoodAction.lua has no reference to UnhappyChange

mint sphinx
#

i think it based on the item and not the action it self ?

gilded hawk
#

Like, inside the action of using the item?

tacit ermine
# 
   public float getUnhappyChange() {
      float var1 = this.unhappyChange;
      if (this.isFrozen() && !"Icecream".equals(this.getType())) {
         var1 += 30.0F;
      }

      if (this.Burnt) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAge && this.Age < (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 10.0F;
      }

      if (this.Age >= (float)this.OffAgeMax) {
         var1 += 20.0F;
      }

      if (this.isBadCold() && this.IsCookable && this.isCooked() && this.Heat < 1.3F) {
         var1 += 2.0F;
      }

      if (this.isGoodHot() && this.IsCookable && this.isCooked() && this.Heat > 1.3F) {
         var1 -= 2.0F;
      }

      return var1;
   }
gilded hawk
#

pain

#

So, how can I change it on the fly? I can't?

thin hornet
#

item:setUnhappyChange(0)

gilded hawk
#

Well, it's gonna be dirty but should workd

thin hornet
# 
// InventoryItem
public void setUnhappyChange(float var1) {
        this.unhappyChange = var1;
}
tacit ermine
#

that won't work

#

that's just the base value used in the calculation of getUnhappyChange

#

you'd need to set it to something that zeroes out after those additions/subtractions

gilded hawk
#

Maybe this? with ofcouse the check for the trait

local function NukeUnhappyfood()
  local player = getPlayer()
  local p_h = player:getStats():getHunger()
  --print("AUTO EAT (onevery10minutes)","hunger:",p_h)
  --if p_h > 0.15 then

    local playerInv = player:getInventory():getItems()
    local mmfood
    --print("HUNGRY")
    for i=0, playerInv:size()-1 do
      local item = playerInv:get(i)
      if item:IsFood() then
        item:setUnhappyChange(0)
      end
    end

  --end
end

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(NukeUnhappyfood)
#

because In my head I was hoping for An even to listen to, or a function hook (like in pd2 modding)

tacit ermine
#

this is gross but this'll do it:

local unhappiness = item:getUnhappyChange()
item:setUnhappyChange(-unhappiness)
thin hornet
#

yep that

gilded hawk
#

Okay I understand

#

Now question is, how do I make this run on the item before eating? I would need to hook to the function of eating

#

Like a prehook Thinkedit, at least that's how I would do it when modding a game like pd2

thin hornet
# 
local ISEatFoodAction_perform = ISEatFoodAction.perform;
function ISEatFoodAction:perform()
    if i have the trait yo then
      local unhappiness = self.item:getUnhappyChange()
      self.item:setUnhappyChange(-unhappiness)
    end
    ISEatFoodAction_perform(self);
end
gilded hawk
#

Oh, just like pd2

#

Thanks man

tacit ermine
#

pd2? payday?

gilded hawk
#

yeah

thin hornet
#

you might want to run some check to

#

unless you want this on all food eaten

mint sphinx
#

like unit testing ? ^^

gilded hawk
tacit ermine
#

a simple self.item:isRotten() works if you only want it on rotten

#

oh ok

thin hornet
#

then a check for the trait will do

mint sphinx
gilded hawk
tacit ermine
#

lmfao

#

that's great

lapis stump
#

is it possible to toggle shader on/off in LUA?

mint sphinx
#

@thin hornet have you tried to make 3D model change 3D model over time ? and if so is it easy or hard? ^^

tacit ermine
#

no

#

you can turn off all world shading with a debug option

#

that's it

gilded hawk
tacit ermine
#

what shader are you trying to toggle?

lapis stump
#

custom shader for water droplet effect

thin hornet
tacit ermine
#

you just want to see how it looks without the shader?

mint sphinx
#

more like 3D model onGround.

lapis stump
#

no i want to toggle it on/off only if its raining and im wearing mask/hazmat suit

thin hornet
#

Not sure you can do that cause changing the model would probably change it for all items

tacit ermine
#

oh

#

look at how rainbarrels work

#

those change sprite as they fill

#

could presumably do the same thing with a model I guess

thin hornet
#

rainbarrel are isoboject/tile tho

mint sphinx

I know

#

an IsoWorldInventoryObject

hope fully you changed the part if i have the trait yo then

gilded hawk
mint sphinx
#

@thin hornet btw konijima why dont you use a real barrel valume for the fuel barrel in the fuel API ?

#

or make it like sandbox variable

gilded hawk
#

I can still read logs, yey tada_vuetify

thin hornet
#

But yeah i could make it a sandbox variable thats a good idea.

#

also i could make an option to allow picking it up with liquid in it
ill check this out thanks

mint sphinx
#

i know it dont have the fuel propety by default because was thinking to make another kind of mod and use the same vanilla barrels ^^ which might make conflics for the mods but nothing other then that

thin hornet
#

FuelAPI only check if the custom name is Barrel so technically all isoobject with custom name Barrel will act as fuel container

#

The new barrel from the military outpost in LV is not a barrel its a metal drum so im happy about it cause that would have been a problem

mint sphinx
#

i know already had a look into the cooding to see how you solve the problem ^^ only because i didnt knew how to grab a isoobject

#

Ah cool glad it helped

#

Is it going to be call for every player in a server ?

stray siren
#

yeah there we go

#

roblox looking motherfuckers

winter bolt
#

yeah but that would replace it for all the zombies

stray siren
#

yeah but there are different zombies

#

each Zombie skin tone could be different

#

and male/female

#

We could probably also add more if we figured out how the game allotted these textures and added more to that table

#

and have a mod that adds more

#

idk if that's too close to the bone though

winter bolt
#

theyre based on skintone though

#

so if a player turned into a zombie theyd have one of them based on their skin colour

stray siren
#

yep

#

If you wanted the zombies not to make people that way you'd probably have to add more skins that only are assigned to zombie gen

# rich wagon yeah, put that one too !

Oh shoot, well the approach I would try would be to take the vanilla shotgun item script, copy it and change the name/display name to what you're trying to make.
Then, testing as you go, change this new script into the script for the weapon you want to make?

#

Shotguns work for this, so if you take the shotgun script, and modify it into what you want, then it should have that property?

what's the metal value ?

Yeah, that's what I would guess? Just a shot in the dark given that it references the multiple thing?

rich wagon
#

i suppose

willow estuary
#

Taking a vanilla item, and "swapping" out the values to the item that you want to make is a pretty solid method though; it's my go-to.

quick question while we're at it

#

i made a rifle but can't attach anything to it, do I have to make .x files of the rifle with all attachments ?

willow estuary
#

Nah, weapon attachments can be completely separate models, and that how it's generally done?
I don't know of any specific guide to the subject, but something on this might help: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwV27NP3RkJl27tveCa9EMMvAdjmGXZsf

I'm familiar with using it, the weapon attachment stuff code wise, but I've never made anything for it model-wise so I don't know the nuts and bolts of that end?
You can also use .fbx files instead of .x files FYI, it can be easier, although they need to be reduced in scale vs the x file format version, seems to be a fair bit too at .01/1% IME?

# tacit ermine show the full code and the context it runs in

Ok, so I want to add an option in the health panel when you right click.
For the moment it works fine in solo or in MP on oneself but in multiplayer on another person, the modData is empty.
The handler of my timed action

    local o = BaseHandler.new(self, panel, bodyPart)
    o.items.ITEMS = {}
    o.bodyPart_TOC = find_bodyPart_TOC(panel.character:getModData(), bodyPart)

It's at panel.character:getModData() that I get en empty table
I also tried panel:getPatient:getModData() but same

Is there an event like onPlayerConnect to get the isoplayer of a player that connect to a server ?

weary matrix
#

there's a global function to get the list of connected players IIRC

zenith smelt
#

First make it functional then do it in an event.
Start by having a loop on the server that checks all clients

#

Or just all players

#

Or even use OnPlayerUpdate

spark plank
#

btw -- any way of having code completion for lua on vs code ?

tacit ermine
drifting ore
#

Ok I will need to check every x time I guess, that stupid. I just want to init some variable when somebody connect

spark plank
tacit ermine
#

OnConnected is a client event

spark plank
tacit ermine
#

no, I just looked for where the java code triggers it

drifting ore
#

I should be able to use it. I request the global data, add my data and return it

#

Every thing on client

tacit ermine
#

do you only care about running it on the client?

weary matrix
#

@tacit ermine when the event is triggered from GameClient or GameServer it's easy but otherwise do you have a good way to find out that could get automated?

tacit ermine
#

I've been working on a IntelliJ script that walks the call tree and looks for an if (GameServer.bServer) but it's pretty tricky

river plinth
tacit ermine
#

right now I still just read the code manually

weary matrix
#

yeah ok

drifting ore
weary matrix
#

guess I should just take some time to hardcode this info in my wiki scripts

#

@drifting ore my rule of thumb is unless you know you need it on server side, it should be client side 😛

tacit ermine
#

best I have right now is a script that automates the parameter types of events

drifting ore
tacit ermine
#

as for vscode, no

drifting ore
#

Btw I gonna make a tuto to add an timed action to the health panel when I gonna finish understand, it might help some

spark plank
#

i don't really care for the vscode, as long as I can have code completion for pz functions :P

#

[also, intellij rules.]

#

other thing, surely there's a getKey(keycode) that returns the ascii of that code, right ?

tacit ermine
#

Keyboard.getKeyName(keycode)

spark plank
#

man. I need to read some manual ^^'

tacit ermine
#

well, if you meant text

#

not every keyboard event is representable as ascii

spark plank
tacit ermine
#

if you want the ASCII value you can convert it to a char first

#

oh ok

spark plank
#

and I'd wager there's no way of adding a custom key for a thing, right ? that'd be too good ^^'

wraith kite
#

hey uh sorry to bother you guys

tacit ermine
#

nope

wraith kite
#

how do we turn on mods on a server ?

tacit ermine
#

custom key?

spark plank
tacit ermine
#

uhhh

spark plank
#

keybind! thats the name

tacit ermine
#

all that event is telling you which key is pressed

#

it's not a keybind system

spark plank
#

yeah, it's what I was thinking :)

#

oh well, it's not like the end of the world ^^

tacit ermine
#

maybe you can hook into that though

#

the game options menu is in lua

#

and that does remapping

spark plank
#

(I just thought of that. I'll have to read more on the subject; I'm a complete noob at lua and pz)

actually you should use Input.getKeyName

#

Keyboard.getKeyName doesn't handle shift modifiers the way you'd expect

the options code just stores the keycode in GameOptions

Anyone know how to create a Vector2 instance? Im having trouble with that

tacit ermine
#

what is it you're trying to do?

#

Vector2.new(x, y) should work I think

drifting ore
#

Ah

quasi geode
drifting ore
#

Haven't tried that, i was trying to create one with Vector2()

drifting ore
quasi geode
#

but ya, as sfix said Vector2.new(x, y) will work once that junk file is dealt with

tacit ermine
#

oh weird, didn't spot that file

#

does kahlua let you specify a fqcn? maybe zombie.iso.Vector2.new(...) works without getting rid of that file

quasi geode
#

not sure i've ever tried? as far as i recall though the Vector2 class isnt used in the lua at all beyond that junk file (least wasnt last time i looked)

tacit ermine
#

yeah I don't see anything besides some uses of a different Vector2f class in the vehicle debugger

I have a client lua file that will load for one server but not the other. I'm only loading the file on the client. The 2nd server is looking for the file to be on the server also. Anyone have this issue or know how to resolve this?

Both servers are mine. Would settings do this?

Is it possible to make a zombies vision so low that they can't see you?

Hey guys, quick questions. Is there any way to affect zombies in dark areas to be sprinters? More of an ~I am Legend vibe~

keen temple
#

There's already a mod for that I believe it's called night sprinters.

mellow panther
#

Well It would work in a different manner, mostly related to zombies inside warehouses or houses without any light source to be effectively sprinters

#

Even at Day time and such

opal wind
#

guys what is your opinion on this; on my mod there is a bunch of cosplay outfits, should i make them all so they cant be ripped? some will be expensive and players wont want to acidentally rip the ones the are not wearing, should i take it off?

mint sphinx
#

you could always just make it repairable ? if it is? isnt it level 7 tailoring there make perfect repair ?

opal wind
#

no thats is another thing, they are repairable like regular clothing, but ripping is another set

mint sphinx
#

ohh i see 🙂

opal wind
#

yeah basicly if you remove this:

#

FabricType = Cotton,

#

you wont be able to rip it for straps

#

i guess i will remove it from all my outfits prb

#

hey i made this new Glue here, its working the model and such, but its not fixing my spear like the regular glue, i prb need to set another thing than just the item itself

#

i copy from the glue item:

#

item Wiz_LargeGlue
{
DisplayCategory = Material,
Weight = 0.4,
Type = Drainable,
UseDelta = 0.05,
UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
DisplayName = Glue Bottle,
Icon = Wiz_LargeGlue,
Tooltip = Tooltip_FixItems, <-------------i tought this alone would able it as a glue, but i think i need more coding here
SurvivalGear = TRUE,
WorldStaticModel = Wiz_LargeGlue_ground,
}

#

when i click the spear the option to fix with my glue wont appear

mint sphinx
#

cotton 😮 look like you need a havest for that xD lol

mint sphinx

how do i make it so a tool loses condition after being used in a recipe?

ah yes thanks man

# opal wind item Wiz_LargeGlue { DisplayCategory = Material, Weight =...

fixing Fix Door Welding
{
Require : FrontCarDoor1;FrontCarDoor2;FrontCarDoor3;RearCarDoor1;RearCarDoor2;RearCarDoor3;RearCarDoorDouble1;RearCarDoorDouble2;RearCarDoorDouble3,
GlobalItem : BlowTorch=5,
ConditionModifier : 1.2,

   Fixer : SheetMetal; MetalWelding=3;Mechanics=2,
   Fixer : SmallSheetMetal=2; MetalWelding=3;Mechanics=2,
}
#

I dont think you can make specific items for "fixing"

#

you would have to add them to the existing scripts for fixing items

#

the Tooltip is the description of an item.

opal wind
#

yes i need to add my item like this:

#

fixing Fix Axe
{
Require : Axe,

   Fixer : Woodglue=2; Woodwork=2,
   Fixer : DuctTape=2,
   Fixer : Glue=2,
   Fixer : Scotchtape=4,
   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
}
#

for each thing the glue fixes

hollow shadow
#

yes

#

ubt keep in mind

#

the higher up the fixer is the more durability it will repair

opal wind
#

i wonder if i need to repeat the others or just like set something like this

hollow shadow
#

so right now becouse its at bottom, your glue will fix only 1%

opal wind
#

fixing Fix Axe
{
Require : Axe,

   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
}
hollow shadow
#

this would also make duct tape worse tho

opal wind
hollow shadow
# opal wind what? 
      switch(arg2.getFixers().indexOf(arg3)) {
      case 0:
         var4 = 50.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      case 1:
         var4 = 20.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      default:
         var4 = 10.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
      }```

hum i dont have to change that too do i? where is that file from

#

#

opal wind
# opal wind what?

i dont understand the order of the fixers say how much they fix? so what is that number 2 and 4 there?

hollow shadow
mint sphinx
#

hmm cant remember damn im sry djvirus

opal wind
#

hum if i set like this, my large glue will fix just like the glue?

#

fixing Fix Axe
{
Require : Axe,

   Fixer : Woodglue=2; Woodwork=2,
   Fixer : DuctTape=2,
   Fixer : Glue=2;Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
   Fixer : Scotchtape=4,
 
}
hollow shadow
#

then you would still need vanilla glue

#

try / instead of ;

#

but idk if it work

opal wind
#

its the same glue just a larger bottle

#

ahhhh

hollow shadow
#

Fixer : Glue=2/Wiz_LargeGlue=2,

#

but idk if it work

#

u need to test

opal wind
#

lol i never seen that on the code

hollow shadow
#

its often used in recipes

opal wind
#

this is so confusing.. i dont even know what those numbers mean now

#

with ducttape is 2 and scotch is 4?

hollow shadow
#

1 duct trape has 4 uses

#

you need a full roll of adhesive tape to fix 5%

opal wind
hollow shadow
#

or you can fix 50% with half a roll of duct tape

opal wind
#

lol i dont know why but this Glue=2/Wiz_LargeGlue=2,made all my custom models disapear

mint sphinx
#

what you trying to do ?

opal wind
#

i set the way you told me

#

fixing Fix Axe
{
Require : Axe,

   Fixer : Woodglue=2; Woodwork=2,
   Fixer : DuctTape=2,
   Fixer : Glue=2/Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
   Fixer : Scotchtape=4,
 
}
#

it make most of my icons and models disapear lol

mint sphinx
#

but what you trying with Glue=2/Wiz_largeGlue=2?

#

what you trying on that line?

opal wind
#

make my glue work like the regular glue

#

since djvirus told me if i stick them on the order i will mess around with the below items fixing power

mint sphinx
#

ohh you want your glue work like normal woodglue ?

opal wind
#

normal glue

#

yes

mint sphinx
#

no normal glue my mistake ^^

#

hmm i would just make an extra line then for now

opal wind
#

this will mess around vanilla mechanixs

#

i think the way they code this is horrible tbh

mint sphinx
# 
fixing Fix Axe
    {
       Require : Axe,

       Fixer : Woodglue=2; Woodwork=2,
       Fixer : DuctTape=2,
       Fixer : Glue=2,
       Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
       Fixer : Scotchtape=4,

    }``` just do that for now
opal wind
#

that will make scotchtape fix only 1% acording to Djvirus

#

i dont want my mod to change anything on vanilla coding

#

also my glue would be worst than the regular glue

#

tbh this makes absolutly no sense to me

#

why they code it like that...

mint sphinx
#

of the % fixing ?

opal wind
#

off course...this should have a script to give each item fixing power stats separate

#

now make the order determine that is pretty lame imo

mint sphinx
#

still something is from javacode hmm cant remember where the % fix is place if it lua or java code

opal wind
#

strane why they game dont accept a 'and' entry there

hollow shadow
# 
      switch(arg2.getFixers().indexOf(arg3)) {
      case 0:
         var4 = 50.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      case 1:
         var4 = 20.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
         break;
      default:
         var4 = 10.0D * (1.0D / (double)arg0.getHaveBeenRepaired());
      }```
#

first gets a multiplier of 50, second 20, third 10

#

@mint sphinx

opal wind
#

if they have a 'AND' that is ';' there should be a 'OR' too, and its not '/' aparently

mint sphinx
#

so that the java code ^^

opal wind
#

very frustating this 😦

hollow shadow
#

maybe it doesnt overwrite it, but add it

opal wind
#

i doubt it but i will try

#

like this right

#

fixing Fix Axe
{
Require : Axe,

   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,  
 
}
mint sphinx
#

if it not working just change the name abit like fixing fix axe2

#

if it make a conflict

hollow shadow
opal wind
#

what lol

#

kk testing now

hollow shadow
#

it checks for the itemname

#

there is no "axe2"

#

thats why you dont need to write translations for fixer

mint sphinx
#

the item name is the Require : axe

hollow shadow
#

true

#

but i think you would need to write a new translation for that

mint sphinx
#

and yea i know translation is a bit annoring sometimes 🙂 but easier then doing them in barothauma

#

you might year sadly

#

what im setting doing right now for my framework try to make all the translation correctly ^^

opal wind
#

but if you change the name of the recipe it wont mess around the links tiba?

mint sphinx
#

like virus say you might need to do a translate files

#

so the translatation link would be missing

opal wind
#

ok guys so this works, but it does override lol

#

fixing Fix Spear
{
Require : SpearCrafted,

   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
   
}
#

i will try to give it a new name like tiba said

mint sphinx
#

dont do mine if that one work

opal wind
#

i also know why my outfit disapear; when you create new recipes you mess around the orders i guess

mint sphinx
#

but look if you get dubble recipe in the recipe book for fixing the spear

opal wind
#

it does not work man, it Overrides vanilla recipes, so my glue works and the vanilla one dont now

#

yea this way it works

#

fixing Fix Spear2 <----- new recipe name
{
Require : SpearCrafted,

   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,     <--- new item
   
}
#

where i see the 'fixing spear recipe on the book again?

#

now just need to set that scale lol my glue is not THAT big

screenshot_14-01-2022_19-57-27.png
#

thank you both for the help!

mint sphinx
#

look like a small bottle of glue you have on that picture xD

opal wind
#

lol

opal wind
mint sphinx
#

i think your glue will just be do as normal so you glue will count as a repair

opal wind
#

i just test it does not look like regular glue lost power

#

yeah i guess this will work 🙂

#

i just delete the items that dont use glue and replace the name of all the recipes, putting a 'wiz' prefix

#

fixing Wiz Fix Spear
{
Require : SpearCrafted,

   Fixer : Wiz_LargeGlue=2,
   
}
#

regular glue have 5 uses mine should give 20

#

but i notice that 2 means it uses 2

#

so to fix a spear it will have 10 uses i guess

#

like the regular glue have like 2-3 uses

mint sphinx

okay ^^ 🙂

thanks 🙂

i fill some of the code or item usages is like spaghetti code ^^

opal wind
#

what is really pain to do are tiles, i just wanted 1 tile on my mod but i dont know if its worth to make it

#

im using a 3D item for now

mint sphinx
#

uea tiles not that easy ^^

#

what is it ?

opal wind
#

yea.. its a machine, the machine that able the player to trade things of my mod

#

i wanted it as a tile, so it could be solid and clean and all

#

size of a oven more or less

mint sphinx
#

how do you build it ?

opal wind
#

just like the glue, a 3d item

#

it shows ok ingame

mint sphinx
#

a normal recipe ?

opal wind
#

but still its not a tile, so people can walk trough it

opal wind
mint sphinx
#

because you could always try to make it as a building option

#

and then just make a picture of your 3d model to make it to 2d ^^

opal wind
#

like a steel crate?

mint sphinx
#

i guess you could do that then just the propeties you have to transfere to the tile/isoobject

When I do getScriptManager():getItem("Base.Bag_Schoolbag"):DoParam("WeightReduction = 95"). It works fine in singeplayer but in multiplayer the value only changes when I spawn the item in using cheat menu.

The file is in the server folder(but have also tried in client and shared). could someone help me by telling what's wrong?

# spark plank awyeah. getPlayer().BodyLocation :D

I was curious so I took a look at the docs, as a disclaimer I'm not PZ modder so take what I say with a grain of salt. What you found was an enumeration of main body sections (I say main because it lacks the more specific subdivisions). I think what you want is getX, getY and getZ which are inherited from IsoMovingObject, or maybe getFacingPosition. There are a couple of other things which seem like positions (getLrx, getLx) but those ones seem like the most likely to be basic positions (this doesn't directly answer your question about getting players around a player, but hopefully it helps you get there)

#

Oh actually, there's also DistTo (& DistToProper, dunno the difference) which accepts another IsoMovingObject. That'd probably be easier for comparison

Man tress are such a blight in the erosion system, they spawn at such an unreasonably high rate.

I want to catch the erosion actions, check for tree spawning and check their tile, see if it's gravel (since we can make gravel paths), and stop them from spawning, but can't figure out where to even start with it.

you can change erosion settings on sandbox options

they do start to fast

hi there! currently working on a mod an need a random number in my lua code. more precisely, i have an array called "colors" and i want to randomly pick an element from it. so i need something like "colors[i]" where i is a random integer between 1 and the size of the array. in vanilla code, the devs often use a construction like "ZombRand(#colors)" in such a situation and i'd like to try to use "ZombRand" too. But how exactly is ZombRand defined? What can it take as arguments and what output does it produces? many thanks!

Looking for some advice here, my dynamic radio channel isn't be initiated in MP despite it following the exact same principles of the vanilla automated ones

#

I was trying to register the dynamic radio to my global mod data, but global mod data is loaded after the radio, so it doesn't exist yet

#

it works ofc in singleplayer, it's purely a MP issue

so, if my array stores values for i=1,...,5, i need array[ZombRand(array:size())+1] to generate a random entry?

thats the order it does it in right, as that is sp, but it very possible that it doesn't load properly until a player connects

I could attemp to load the radio at the same time that I initialize the mod data

#

to explain, the basic usage of zombrand will stop at the number given as a arg (if theres 5 items in your list, it returns 0 to 4, but not 5), #array returns the number of items (ie: 5), lua will index that table list as 1 to 5 so you need to add +1 to the result, (otherwise your trying to fetch items 0-4, not 1-5)

willow estuary
spiral plover
#

Interesting, alright, that explains some of its bizare behaviour

willow estuary
#

Yeah, the "phantom global mod data" may even persist in MP, albeit I think that's just a client side copy, and not any remaining connection to the server?

#

But it complicated developing funky stuff that uses it 😄

spiral plover
#

The issue appears to be a mix of that, combined with the fact that if I don't add the radio during the radio load sequence then it doesn't actually get added..

#

sadly the radio loads before the global mod data, so I can use the global mod data for lots but not the radio..

willow estuary
#

Could you modify your radio station to comply with the mod data record at a later point after the radio load sequence perhaps?

#

...probably not that flexible however.

spiral plover
#

Hmm, I could try to grab the moddata from gametime and assign it to the global one from the server

willow estuary
#

I recall that mod data stored to game time was unreliable in a MP context?
That might be the reason the global mod data system was added in 41.5.

spiral plover
#

thats the issue i'm running into, is it purely unaccessible or just locked behind server or client?

willow estuary
#

My experience was that it wasn't actually persistent? game time mod data that is.
I use global mod data, the system added in 41.5, exclusively on account of that.

And sorry, if you were talking about game time mod data throughout our convo, then the info I told you about when and how it loads was in regard to the global mod data, not game time. My bad.

i also made a Disinfectant Gallon (x4 times more quantity) its a little bit different from the glue (fixing item), the tooltips to use it are separated (or they will carry the same name ingame)

Ah okay, good, was worried there was a miscommunication 😄

Aha no no, we're on the same page lol

willow estuary
#

Okay, so I don;t have a handle on the specifics, but you can record and load data to text files on the server instead of using mod data?

spiral plover
#

Oh? perhaps that is what is needed..

This is some code that a friend hooked me up as a reference, for some future plans I have in that vein. So I saved it, but have never tried it or anything?

function loadFunFile(filename)
    local file = getFileReader(filename, true) -- goes in the Zomboid/Lua cache directory, true/false to create the file if non-exsistant (i think? cant remember)
    if not file then return end
    local lines = {} -- empty table for now
    while true do
        local line = file:readLine() -- read a line, not sure if BufferedReader class can return the whole file at once.
        if line == nil then -- nothing returned, end of file, close and break from loop
            file:close()
            break
        end
        table.insert(lines, line) -- add the line to the table
    end
    return loadstring(table.concat(lines, "\n")) -- join the lines togeather with "\n" and load the string. not sure if the readLine() strips file endings, so read them just to be sure
end

local someFun = loadFunFile("somefile.lua") -- store it in a variable.

someFun() -- execute the function
# 
The loadstring function is similar to loadfile, except that it reads its chunk from a string, not from a file. For instance, after the code

    f = loadstring("i = i + 1")
f will be a function that, when invoked, executes i = i + 1:
    i = 0
    f(); print(i)   --> 1
    f(); print(i)   --> 2

and the link they provided me with https://www.lua.org/pil/8.html

thats for executable code though, not quite a mod data replacement

Hmmm, alright, well then close but no cigar...

Yeah, sorry, I've dabbled with more relevant stuff, data itself that is, being recorded to file and such, but it was a long time ago?

#

well the concept is kinda the same, just need to chop out some code (and add some more for writing the file)

Meant to mention this earlier, I looked at the docs when you initially posted your message. The NatureTrees erosion category class might be helpful, but I couldn't find anything about events bc I don't know how zomboid handles them. There was a method that had something to do with validation, but presumably that's called internally & I wouldn't know how you'd override it without recompilation if so

Yeah it's all good, I can see that it just reads the file and executes what it reads. I'd need to add the whole writing segment like Fenris said

Unsure if it's exposed by pz, but the Lua standard library has utilities for io

#

Which includes file writing

writeSettingsFile = function(tbl, filename)
    local file = getFileWriter(filename, true, false)
    if not file then
        return
    end
    for key, value in pairs(tbl) do
        file:write(key .. " = ".. tostring(value) .. "\r\n")
    end
    file:close()
end

readSettingsFile = function(tbl, filename)
    local file = getFileReader(filename, true)
    if not file then return end
    while true do repeat
        local line = file:readLine()
        if line == nil then
            file:close()
            return
        end
        line = string.gsub(line, "^ +(.+) +$", "%1", 1)
        if line == "" then break end
        for key, value in string.gmatch(line, "(%w+) *= *(.+)") do
            tbl[key] = value -- note that value will be a string, you may need to convert to number or w/e
        end
    until true end
    return tbl
end
