#

it so easy to find them on steam o.o

opal wind
#

its doing great i got more than 100 outfits, dozens of weapons and such

mint sphinx
#

also the reason for the id name is that some mod might have the same name why it have an id

opal wind
#

it sucks man, no other plataform does that

#

curseforge is great; there is the mod, a download button, u do all manually

#

americans are so much lazy really... everything automatic and fast... in the end more glitch chances, mor confusion, more complains

#

i stick to good old manual settings, thank you

#

i want to download it, SEE where it goes, SEE the name, u know?

#

i want to put the mod there myself

mint sphinx
#

we have a saying at my work if you have to do a thing more then 3 times make a script or generator to do it for you.
so im use to do that kind of stuff as a software developer o.o
soo i do not really agree to it ^^

opal wind
#

thats totally different

#

no comparisson

mint sphinx
#

if i have to download and manuel install 30 mods or be able to sub to a mod so it download and install it automatic for me ?

opal wind
#

because you dont have control over it dude

#

God

royal stirrup
#

anyone know how to access the zombie models or textures?

zenith smelt
#

They are all in the workshop folder

drifting ore
#

Steam obviously has flaws but I'm all for the ease of use. What's the point of making a mod if only 50% of players know how to install it? You know what I mean

zenith smelt
opal wind
#

lol you guys cant be sirious... manually install a mod is just COPY & PASTE lol

zenith smelt
#

And then make a powershell script to convert them into correct folders and then use that for your server if yo uwant to avoid constant updates and restarts

opal wind
#

steam 'subscribe' system is a disgrace imo, idc if that makes me unpopular here

zenith smelt
#

Steam subscribe works

#

Your problem may be between the keyboard and the chair

opal wind
#

I DONT CARE, I DONT LIKE IT

drifting ore
#

Do you ever talk to people who don't know anything about computers? Find where the game is installed on steam is already complicated for them

#

I'm used to tedious complicated shit from learning COBOL

#

Quick and easy installs are a god send

#

Of course it's not complicated, but some people don't want to take the time

mint sphinx
drifting ore
opal wind
#

i dont understand this 'cattle' mentality of some people, its like when they find someone that dont agree with them, they HAVE to argue until the other agree with them queasy

#

like those Karens busting people balls over mask lol

drifting ore
#

So stop arguing and leave...

#

You do what you complain

opal wind
#

leave?? wtf u leave bruh

#

im not bother

drifting ore
#

Leave the argument...

opal wind
#

dont gert rude with me because i dont agree with u

#

its not bothering me at all

drifting ore
#

I'm rude ? Lol

opal wind
#

why should i leave?

#

yes u told me to fuck off

#

rude lol

olive zinc
#

i think its that your complaining and not giving any useful criticism that can be helpful

crisp fable
#

you're feeding a troll. block him and move on

opal wind
#

WOW

olive zinc
#

other than that who cares

opal wind
#

now im a troll? wtf ol

drifting ore
#

I told you to stop arguing if you don't like conversations...

opal wind
#

who said i dont like conversations?

#

did i curse u or something? wtf really

#

why i am a troll now??

#

i just cursed steam here

#

sounds like people get butt-hurt for Steam now... lmao

opal wind
frank elbow
#

Not even the modding channel is safe from arguments, huh

opal wind
#

i just told nothing can change my opinion

olive zinc
#

so i have the night sprinters mod in my server but i dont see any options for it. will it just work or do i also need it also enabled on my end too?

opal wind
drifting ore
frank elbow
opal wind
#

yes ok bounty, im not mad with u

olive zinc
#

oh there is a mod support thank you

zenith smelt
#

Oh my god

#

I was losing my mind

#

Jesus christ

#

Why is Events.OnClientCommand for events recieved from clients on the server

opal wind
#

this Kaldo person calls me a Troll then Block me so i cant even defend myself, what a coward snowflake little fruity

#

weakling

zenith smelt
#

That's so confusing

#

because server uses sendServerCommand to send events

frank elbow
#

Like I know you're upset but it's over, continuing it is doing no good

opal wind
#

ok im done now, sorry

zenith smelt
#

But it makes sense in another way, sendServerCommand sends from server to client and the client fires OnServerCommand because the server command fires

mint sphinx
olive zinc
#

also i asked yesterday but there are alot of people, any mod suggestions that make the game not just more challenging but more survival horror. i have danger zone fog horde, and scent of blood, with night sprinters, and pitch black nights that last 3 irl hours

#

any suggestions helps to scare the life out of my friends

drifting ore
#

Totally agree, the client/server name of functions/events is a mess xD

#

Client=server and server=client, wtf ?

zenith smelt
#

sendClientCommand CLIENT -> SERVER
sendServerCommand SERVER -> CLIENT(s)
OnClientCommand Runs on server when a command is received from a client
OnServerCommand Runs on client when a command is received from the server

quasi geode
#

its not really confusing, just slightly ambiguous. it should be read as
sendClientCommand = send command from client
OnClientCommand = on receiving command from client

#

lengthing it out to spell out the full thing becomes kinda excessive for naming schemes

zenith smelt
#

Anyone have a good idea what kind of perks, debufss and buffs to give players for taking a break after they die and giving them a boost after lets say 1 hour after they died

Hello everyone, I tried to make a test mod for clothes, threw everything into a folder, but the mod is not displayed when choosing mods. Someone knows how to fix this? Where can you read about it? Did according to the guide https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/37647-the-one-stop-shop-for-3d-modeling-from-blender-to-zomboid/ . And I even tried to throw the mod from the tutorial into the folder - the game does not see it either.

The Indie Stone Forums
The One Stop Shop for 3D Modeling: From Blender to Zomboid!

Hello and Welcome! Here you will find a concise and comprehensive guide and tutorial of making 3D models for Project Zomboid. Currently, this will mainly pertain to custom Clothing creation but may include weapon creation in the future. This will present how to create models from scratch with Ble...

And also folder name

i have no idea if that'll be the cause of your problem, but i was struggling trying to duplicate and move around stuff in the program files and it was just not showing up at all, which sounds exactly like what you're describing

you could start by using just the PZ avatar

lyric jungle
#

any fun mods that'll randomize everything in the start?

#

sorry wrong mod chat

abstract raptor
opal wind
#

like, copy the parts of the avatar you want to make, press Shift+D to duplicate, scale it a bit (press S then 105) then press P and separate the mesh

#

you can make all sorts of cloths like that

lots of stuff, its like 40Mb now lol

from old movies, cartoons, etc

that pic is old thou i changed some of those

#

haha thanks

long grove
#

can someone help me debug this?

#

not sure why it has a problem with DoZombieStats

#

its also in the Base game's VirtualZombieManager

bitter frigate
#

is there any immediately obvious reason why this recipe wouldn't show up in game?

    Syringe,
    keep InsulinVial,
    Result:InsulinSyringe,
    Category: General,

not sure if the last line should have a ,?

if it's that simple im gonna flip my whole entire gord

let me check

prob not

how do you even get to this screen lol (I am very new to modding PZ)

it is the debug menu

this is the only debug menu I am aware of just yet

oh yes well I am testing a mod and there was an error so this comes up. I think its F11?

#

check the other recipes and try to spot the difference

#

probably add the comma back in then

bitter frigate
#

alright i'm having a much bigger problem. none of my new mod items & exactly 0 of my recipes are showing up

long grove
#

did u put the , back in that you removed?

drifting stump
#

The , should not matter

#

Can look into it in a bit

long grove
#

can someone tell me about DoZombieStats

bitter frigate
# drifting stump Can look into it in a bit

alright so i divided my recipes and items into two separate files like i saw some other modders do and i don't know HOW but most things are showing up now! one of my recipes still isn't showing up but im troubleshooting that

peak raven
#

Are your recipes under a custom module that imports base or is the file adding on to base? In my experience if somethings not working in a module move it to Base

delicate basin
# bitter frigate is there any immediately obvious reason why this recipe wouldn't show up in game...

Haven't done any modding in Project Zomboid as of yet. Only some pointers:

  1. I believe this is a JSON file. If so, you can always validate the syntax yourself by checking sources like https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/#
  2. check if you can find any documentation about what properties are required
JSON Formatter & Validator

Format and validate JSON data so that it can easily be read by human beings.

bitter frigate
peak raven
#

okay, this is going to sound stupid but try putting an extra blank line in between the recipe that isn't working and the ones that are working. put one on top and one on bottom.

bitter frigate

is there a original recipe xD

bitter frigate

    recipe Fill Sterile Syringe with Insulin    {
    EmptySyringe,
    keep InsulinVial,
    Result:InsulinSyringe,
    Category: General,
    Time: 50.0
    NeedToBeLearn: false
    }


    recipe Fill Used Syringe with Insulin    {
    UsedSyringe,
    keep InsulinVial,
    Result:USEDInsulinSyringe,
    Category: General,
    Time: 50.0
    NeedToBeLearn: false
    }
}``` 

the first recipe shows up just fine, the second one is nowhere to be found
#

the first recipe is what i was referring to as the original

mint sphinx
#

how was the other one made?

#

also where your syringe comming from ?

mint sphinx
rain pumice
#

I was gonna ask this too

#

Why is it base if you're adding a new recipe

bitter frigate
# mint sphinx also where your syringe comming from ?

i figured out ONE of the problems - i'm getting the items from another txt file in the script folder of my mod. that txt file has two variations of used syringe - i don't know if that's the problem but i'm figuring it out now

rain pumice

Ohh

that script work right now ?

bitter frigate
#

ive been able to get everything to show up except USEDInsulinSyringe

rain pumice
#

I think you can't use dashes

#

Because lua

#

Try underscore

#

I'm not sure though I am also a beginner 😅

peak raven
#

Can you not get the Recipe to work or the Item itself?

mint sphinx
# 
module MYFirstMod    {
    imports    {
    Base
    }


    item InsulinVial    {
        Type         = Drainable,
        DisplayName  = Vial of Insulin,
        Icon         = InsulinVial,
        Weight       = 0.1,
    UseDelta     = 0.02
    }


    item UsedSyringe    {
        Type         = Normal,
        DisplayName  = Used Syringe,
        Icon         = UsedSyringe,
        Weight       = 0.05
    }


    item EmptySyringe    {
        Type         = Normal,
        DisplayName  = Syringe,
        Icon         = EmptySyringe,
        Weight       = 0.05
    }


    item InsulinSyringe    {
        Type         = Normal,
        DisplayName  = Insulin-Filled Syringe,
        Icon         = InsulinSyringe,
        Weight       = 0.15,
    ReplaceOnUse = UsedSyringe
    }


    item USEDInsulinSyringe    {
        Type         = Normal,
        DisplayName  = Insulin-Filled Syringe,
        Icon         = InsulinSyringe,
        Weight       = 0.15,
    ReplaceOnUse = UsedSyringe
    }
}

but you have the same name for insulinsring and usedinsulisyringe o.o

#

look how i "importet the base

bitter frigate
#

yea yea when i had the base importing it wasn't working! i'm scared to add it back in

rain pumice
#

I know the dash thing might sound stupid but it's worth a try

peak raven
#

So the Item is busted or the recipe? This looks like we're messing with items

bitter frigate
#

i mean i could just do a space

rain pumice
#

The used syringe works or

bitter frigate
rain pumice
#

Also I don't think you need imports base

#

Because you are not referring to any items from the base game

#

Like if you were to use Base.Needle for example you'd need the imports

mint sphinx
#

i found all the items with my script hmm

bitter frigate
#

okay all the items work!

#

the recipe does NOT show up

#

but a recipe from the same file does???

mint sphinx
#

now lets try your recipes do you have the full script ?

rain pumice
#

The recipes

bitter frigate
peak raven
#

alrighty try to put the recipes below the items in the same script. I can post my Sleeping Bag script if that would help you

rain pumice
#

Is this for a diabetic trait mod

bitter frigate
# rain pumice Is this for a diabetic trait mod

yup! i'm a type 1 diabetic and i think it would be a real challenge to try and manage insulin-dependent diabetes in the apocalypse. AND with the tools available to me in zomboid (moodles, namely) it's possible to mimic both hypo and hyperglycemia AS WELL AS ketoacidosis!

rain pumice
#

Are you planning to release the full mod to the workshop?

bitter frigate
# rain pumice Are you planning to release the full mod to the workshop?

EVENTUALLY yes, but there's a whole lot i have to learn before i'm anywhere near a release. i still have to learn how to create a blood sugar variable - that's my biggest hurdle right now. ive looked a lot at the "waste management" mods in the workshop since they essentially add a new need to the game and thats roughly what i'm trying to do with blood sugar!

rain pumice
#

I think the urination mod or the pooping one will help too

bitter frigate
mint sphinx
#

cant see the problem it work on mine

Ohh

#

Could it be conflicting with other mods???

you should be able to change it back to general

#

might be worth looking into making a program to create items

#

something with drop downs and spaces to type that would automatically output the file

weary matrix
bitter frigate
#

how would i write a recipe that requires [x] units of a drainable? i know usually you'd just add it to the ingredients line, but i worry doing [drainable]=12 will require 12 full drainables

cold burrow
#

Sooo. Will try to ask again.
How i could query all items with specific Type and SubCategory? Probably all guns.

And also. Do i get it right, to add one more context button to item i need to create a function with args - player, context, items.
Then get player, query items and create context inside function and in the end just pass to Event (i forget it name) like OnCreateContextForItem (i will find right name somewhere in mods)?

was fun texturing these, pulled details from both the tile & item sprites for each ones new WorldItem texture. They all use the same new 3D model though

bitter frigate
# orchid notch

they're VERY pretty! are they just for aesthetics or will they function differently?

orchid notch
#

they're like the vanilla radios now

#

it's the same vanilla walkies, just with added ability to not only tile place them, but WorldItem place as well

#

but just like the vanilla radios, they only function as a tile or held

#

I may end up restoring them appearing in the hand when held down the road

#

which should also open them up to being seen on belts as well

#

but all in time, this is mainly just for fun atm. A break from regular Gamedev

bitter frigate
#

makes sense! they're really nice looking in the meanwhile

orchid notch
#

thx! I do take pride in my texture work 😅 , these are a lot different than my usual style. I enjoyed being able to paint more simply and then scale it down versus my usual PSX model Technique (which takes up just way too much time tbh lol)

#

eventually I'd love to make some guns for PZ

#

since I already do lowpoly weapons anyhow, just need to practice this simpler painting style

#

like my last model, made a M2 Carbine

#

probably could already fit right in to PZ with a small texture tweak

would there be a way to disable fair loot with a Mod? me and my bf see completly diffrent loot in the same house in MP and its kinda annoying

#

SO as it is each syringe costs 1 unit of insulin to make, and makes one unit. this is wonderful. HOWEVER. a typical dose of insulin (for me) is about 8 units. i know i can create an 8 unit syringe; do i have to make an individual recipe for every amount i'd want?

bronze light

Do anyone know how to make a mod that makes so you can sleep whenever? Calling the mechanic “power nap”. It is very annoying needing to wait for buddies in MP to get tired.

# weary matrix what do you mean?

If you attach the ladder to a building with a closed window, can you try to open it from below? It would be interesting to add something like that I think

You don't need to, just use the animation when you open the windows, but from the ground

A full syringe is 8 units or however many

Then when you craft an insulin syringe it just fills the syringe more

Does anyone know how to search https://projectzomboid.com/modding/ to see which class a particular function belongs to? For example a mod I'm looking at seems to be using zomb:DoZombieStats() but I don't know where its defined? 😢

#

Where can i learn more about attachments?

bitter frigate
long grove
#

Ok yes from that article I can see from the line "In the IsoZombie class there is a method called "DoZombieStats". It is called by both the constructor and the load method." that it belongs to the IsoZombie class. Did you just google DoZombieStats() or something?

bitter frigate
#

i specifically searched ":DoZombieStats()" - quotes are SUPER useful for this stuff. i'd be dead without them

long grove
#

I'm trying to work out why this is causing issues

function Horde:moveTo(x,y)
if x then self.posX = x end
if y then self.posY = y end
self.modData.posX = self.posX
self.modData.posY = self.posY
if self.isVirtual == true or self.leader == nil then return end

for _,zomb in ipairs(self.zombieList) do
    if zomb:getModData().offsetX then 
        zomb:changeSpeed(2)
        zomb:DoZombieStats()
        zomb:pathToLocation(self.posX+zomb:getModData().offsetX, self.posY+zomb:getModData().offsetY, 0)
    end
end

end

#

zomb should already be a non-virtual IsoZombie so I have no idea why the mod is crashing at zomb:DoZombieStats()

i'm not seeing a changeSpeed method for IsoZombie

willow estuary
# long grove

Good 'ole changeSpeed() got pulled, this is how I give zombies custom speeds; this is how I currently do custom speeds.

        local oldSpeed = getSandboxOptions():getOptionByName("ZombieLore.Speed")
        oldSpeed = oldSpeed:getValue()
        getSandboxOptions():set("ZombieLore.Speed", 1)        
        zombie:makeInactive(true)
        zombie:makeInactive(false)
        zombie:DoZombieStats()
        getSandboxOptions():set("ZombieLore.Speed",oldSpeed)

Not sure why the makeInactive business is needed, I had to copy someone's homework to get it work with the latest updates and that was in it and was the magic missing ingredient.

question.

I'm trying to get this sound to play randomly and not all the time when you smash a zombie's head.
I'm pretty new so I'm looking at the javadocs and it seems like SoundManager is the way to go?

willow estuary
#

The zombie handling functions have shifted a fair amount over the past year+, so it's made custom zombie stuff a fair bother.

rain pumice
# 
[1] = "smash2",
[2] = "smash3",
[3] = "smash4",
[4] = "PZ_HeadSmash_01",
[5] = "PZ_HeadSmash_02",
}
local function SmashHead ( , hit)``` 

this is what i have so far lol...
long grove
willow estuary
#

👍

willow estuary
# long grove Wow that is the ticket, good to know thank you.

So one thing to be aware of is that PZ cheats and "re uses" zombies? So when you make one zombie a sprinter, when that zombie gets "re used" you migt have a surprise sprinter pop up elsewhere, you follow?
PZ keeps tracks of individual zombie appearances/outfits, and individual zombie statistics, but the statistics are like a deck of cards that PZ will shuffle thru and re-use.
It shouldn't be a huge deal breaker issue, but like I said it can result in surprise sprinters, and doing stuff like teleporting in debug can have weird effects with custom zombies, you'll drag some of the zombie statistics with you to your new location when the zombie stats are reused.
Hope this makes some sense? 😄

The new optimization zombie handling stuff for MP already complicates all this and I'm not sure of how stuff even works as is with that 🤪 🤪 🤪

But yeah, what I did one time is assigned individual "serial numbers" to zombies, and had that output to console and visible onscreen to evaluate the phenomenon, but that was also a year+ ago?

Okay, so, and I don't understand much about this as it's new, but the new build .65 zombie optimization for mp etc business shuffles around extra zombies when there;s too many in a player's vicinity? It takes them and puts them outside the player's reality bubble.
It's just to keep framerates from bombing etc. I haven't experimented with it, or looked at the code, or have a handle on it.
But I can see how that, if it works, could complicate a mod like Hordes Alpha and may make it unviable if vanilla is grabbing zombies and moving them out of the player's reality bubble?
Anyways, if you're getting bizarre/unworkable results that zombie optimization business might be responsible.

#
  • I'm not sure if that zombie optimization thing is even currently working as intended as well.
#

Mods that modify zombies and their behavior can be especially update fragile as I mentioned previously.

late hound
# long grove https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2311468324

The Hordes Alpha mod stopped working well over a year ago so it will be quite a challenge to pick it up and update it to .65's Singleplayer standards. Now on the other hand, if you want this to work with Multiplayer.... I wish of you the best of luck. I've had a lot of mixed results seeing how local or dedicated servers handle persistent zombies outfits are handled - which is a feature that this mod uses. It's not going to be a quick fix, long story short.

Question out of curiosity here if anyone has got an opinion to comment on it.

#

Noticed this mod recently

#

And I was wondering how feasible would it be to create an addon that plugged in your own music.

#

Not like an MP3 but perhaps a MIDI file that played out the notes.

#

The only reason I mention it is because this immediately made me think of the LuteBot mod for Mordhau

narrow pelican
#

and how to properly name file

mint sphinx
# 
module mymod{
inports{
Base
}

recipe foo{
--code here for the recipe
}

}
narrow pelican
#

ok

mint sphinx
#

so know how it work now or ?

narrow pelican
#

i mess up with lua

mint sphinx
#

you can also add recipes with lua but is way harder and bugs sometimes out so save way is doing it in the txt file and the game will store them before it running

narrow pelican
#

so i tried to make filler item that fits to the timeline of the server but the only use of this thing is to be dismantled into electronic parts

#

and when i tried as you sayed game just crashes

#

mb im doin someting wrong

mint sphinx
#

did you get the crash repor t?

#

also can you come with an example scrip you trying to do right now ? ^^

narrow pelican
#

just a sec

#

mb because i have 2 script files it make game crush

mint sphinx
#

send both of them here

#

and i can see the scripts

narrow pelican
#

or i just forgot to add }

#

at the end

#

yes im dumb

mint sphinx
#

i done that few times before but when you not sending the scripts it hard to see

#

xD

narrow pelican
#

Ok next problem: item just disappeared

cant still not see your full script 🙂

so give me something to work with

working on making it mod friendly with my api but debating if its beyond salvation

anybody know how lightblubs work/ where their scripts are

mint sphinx
# drifting stump yes hold q

you can always make a hook in over it or rewrite it just need atleast do the same think 100% for mod compatibility

drifting stump
#

hooking is working against the goal of the api

#

which is making it mod friendly and more performant

#

that chain of calling old ui elements and asking the game to render it each time is garbage

#

and breaks very easily by reloading a lua file in that chain

#

for example with the vehicle menu which ive done the api for already

mint sphinx
drifting stump
#

before each mod had to:
-save the previously loaded function
-replace with its own
-call the old
-resetup controller
-do your thing
-ask the game to render

#

i eliminated all that you simply do your thing and the game only ever does controller and render once

everything is still showing up and so are the recipes! i've moved on to trying to make syringes that have more than 1 unit of insulin in them. i posted this earlier, if you have any thoughts!

SO as it is each syringe costs 1 unit of insulin to make, and makes one unit. this is wonderful. HOWEVER. a typical dose of insulin (for me) is about 8 units. i know i can create an 8 unit syringe; do i have to make an individual recipe for every amount i'd want?

another user suggested making the syringes like water bottles - capable of holding up to x amount of units, but i don't know how i'd begin to steal the water bottle logic for insulin instead of water

you mean like having it inject insulin every so often like the player drinks their water? that's a really interesting proposition! there's a device that can do that now called an insulin pump; the technology was really in its infancy until the late 90s. so it's POSSIBLE i could create a pump in game, but that would involve a whole new set of items (more syringes, needles, cartridges, insets, and linesets) and really manipulating the injury system to include inset sites to really have the depth i'd want

britas mod pack casue issues with loot respawn in DS?

tribal marsh
#

I hope someone can provide some insight here: I'm creating a mod that edits an already existing item, but upon loading the mod, it creates another instance of the item instead. What's the proper way to modify a base game item?

#

I don't want to edit newitems.txt as I think that would cause incompatibility issues with other mods, and generally editing the original file is frowned upon in modding communities

i'm having a hard time debugging my code. i can't get a value to print to the console, no matter which key i bind it to. is it because i'm calling for a value that doesn't exist?

I'm trying go get maps on my g portal dedicated. I've added the mod name and workshop iD to my g portal page and FTP the maps file from my c drive to the servers media/maps folder....what am I missing.....?

willow estuary
quasi geode
#

lol no, i probably should have phrased that differently

bitter frigate
quasi geode
#

when defining a function arguments need proper variable names

#

thats defining the function, not calling it. theres a huge difference. you set it to a variable when you define it, and a number when you call it

willow estuary
# 
local SugarValue = 120

should be sufficient

quasi geode
#

its probably best to go find some basic lua tutorials if your going to dive into coding. you'll save yourself a crapload of headaches

tribal marsh
#

(Don't learn C#, its too wordy)

willow estuary
#

You're definitely getting there, it's just some of the details are jumbled with that code?

quasi geode
# 
local function setSugarValue(value) -- defining a function
    --- do stuff with value
end

setSugarValue(120) -- calling the function
bitter frigate
#

that makes so much sense!!! i was trying to articulate exactly what u just did but i was getting hung up on god knows what.

quasi geode

#

thank u guys i've done some tutorials and looked around a lot before trying to fish around in code

willow estuary

#

I'll give you the example here: \Workshop\votex09.moneyispower\Contents\mods\votex09.moneyispower\media\scripts\moneyispower.txt >

{
    item Money
    {
        DisplayCategory = Junk,
        Weight    =    -0.001,
        Type    =    Normal,
        DisplayName    =    Money,
        Icon    =    Money,
        WorldStaticModel = Money,
    }
}
#

This creates another instance of "Money"

willow estuary
quasi geode
#

^^^

tribal marsh
#

Oh goodie, its case sensitive

#

Glad that's all that was.

willow estuary
# tribal marsh Oh goodie, its case sensitive

The scripts will be really fussy about formatting. Well, code stuff is in general, but script formatting specifically hangs up a lot of people.

Better way to do it, have this in a lua file in the shared or server lua directories and you don't have to mess around with script files + less concerns about conflicts with any other mods that modify the Base.Money object

local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem("Base.Money")    
if item then 
    item:DoParam("Weight    =    -0.001")
end
#
  • won't "fall behind" if/when vanilla changes the item scripts, as has regularly happened with item modifying mods TBH.
quasi geode
#

ya its a much better way of making simple changes

willow estuary
#

Oh fuck, thank christ I got an A+ from old man Fenris that time.

quasi geode
#

lmao

tribal marsh
#

So, just to be clear, theoretically I can do all my modding ideas through lua instead of plugging the existing files.

willow estuary
#

I mean, with modifying existing items, it's really "best practices" and can avoid all sorts of headaches in the future with changes to vanilla + mod conflicts?
But yeah, aside from a few corner case instances, pretty much all changes to existing script items can be done via the above lua method?

#

Removing parameters instead of changing them is where it can get fussy, for example? But in 99%+ of cases some lua can handle all the script item modifications IMO?

#

There's been multiple instances where new properties were added to vanilla items, en masse, and a ton of mods, that used scripts to overwrite items instead of using lua to modify the items, caused all sorts of end user headaches?

tribal marsh
#

Does this edit items that have already spawned in the game or does that limitation carry over from the "old method"

#

aka, pre edited backpacks for example having the original carry weight

willow estuary
#

In most cases it should modify items that already exist, but there's a few parameters that are "persistent" with items, so it's case-by-case?

tribal marsh
#

Fair

#

Thanks for all the information

willow estuary
#

Ah, yeah, containers specificly, I don't think they change to the new weight

#

No problemo! Good luck 🙂

tribal marsh
bitter frigate
# undone crag What are these `sugarIncrease` and `NewVariableFunctionsSugarValue` meant to be?...

NewVariableFunction is uuuuuuh meant to hold the functionality of the blood sugar increase code? sugarIncrease is meant to take sugarvalue and add 0.5 to it every time it updates. so. it sould probably be sugarvalue instead since i'm not actually calling the function later. at least not yet. the idea is to eventually have sugarvalue interact with carbohydrates. i think i got in my own way with some Assumptions(tm) that i can't articulate now

undone crag
#

This is notepad++ with the Lua syntax highlighter plugin.

#

Oh nvm my qurestion about NewVariableFunctionsSugarValue, I somehow made a mistake after copying your code into notepad++ and had
local sugarIncrease = 0.5 + NewVariableFunctionsSugarValue
instead of
local sugarIncrease = 0.5 + SugarValue

#

Your functions can be defined like this

local function OnCreateLivingCharacter(playerOrSurvivor)

or like this

local function someFunction(playerOrSurvivor)

The name does not have to match anything like OnCreateLivingCharacter. The exact spelling of OnCreateLivingCharacter is just important when you do

you just click New > the character you had previously selected will be selected for all games til you change it > all you have to do is press start

after choosing the location

basically all im saying is it would autofill the saved character dropdown to the last one you used

Ive seen vehicles where when you aim out a window you enter the standing still and aiming animation (standing up and turning around)
If there is any way to add an item to the player and force them equip it then that could be a way to make an armored vehicle turret that can turn and shoot. Similar to the train in Fallout NV that is actually a hat that a NPC wears as they run along the track.

remove the parameter and replace your specificPlayer with getPlayer()

The code would also work if you did this:

--some code

function Diabetes.setSugarValue()
    Diabetes.SugarValue = 120   
end

--Maybe somewhere actually calling Diabetes.setSugarValue too.

This will not work in multiplayer though because you are using a single SugarValue for everyone. You could instead store SugarValue in the player's modData like this

function Diabetes.EXIST(playerOrSurvivor)
  playerOrSurvivor:getModData().Diabetes = {SugarValue = 120}
end
Events.OnCreateLivingCharacter.Add(Diabetes.EXIST)
#

And then later like this

local ModData = player:getModData().Diabetes
modData.SugarValue = 0.5 + modData.SugarValue

#

only problem is if you need to access the SugarValue of another player

Oh yeah if it's using getPlayer() then it may be fine.

ah in that case yeah that won't work as is

Does someone know if ByteBuffer can be used in kahlua? When I try Texture:getData() which returns ByteBuffer the game crashes so maybe not.

I wanted to get the texture data and set it to procedurally generate a lot of icons. This was for a mod idea that I later found out would not work because weapons don't show their attachments on the ground. :/

but a bit more complicated i guess

undone crag
#

If there are 5 attachment slots and 5 possible attachments for each then that's a lot of combination of attachments. Maybe it's something like 5^5.

Can the "Override:true," tag for recipes work on modded recipes? if not, is there a way to do something similar to other mod's recipes without outright editing and reuploading them?

Do I have to edit items/newitems.txt as Base or can I insert an item by importing Base? When I do the latter it "works" but shows the module name in front of the item's name.

Are there any mods that turn lightbulb fuel consumption to 0?

I think lassoing a zombie and putting a sack over it and having it pull your trailer would be good.

# undone crag Which did you try though? The ModData one or the Lua variable one?

the first time i tried them i tried them both, because my reading comprehension has not improved in the last 5 hours. i tried the lua variable and it's returning nil. i also tried just the first part of the ModData version and it's ALSO returning nil. i cannot get the third part of my code to work at all, so i don't know if it's because i'm misformatting the code you offered or because it's not working in the first place

gib code plz

i'm fairly sure this is pretty badly bungled but it's what i have now. i have it backed up to when it was printing 120 for blood sugar if you'd like that

Diabetes = {}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- debug ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function Diabetes.PRESSED(key)
   print("Key Pressed " .. tostring(key))
    if key == Keyboard.KEY_COMMA then
        print("Comma Pressed")
        print(SugarValue)
    end
end

Events.OnKeyPressed.Add(Diabetes.PRESSED)
-- debug ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- creates blood sugar --------------------------------------------------------------------------

function Diabetes.EXIST(playerOrSurvivor)
  playerOrSurvivor:getModData().Diabetes = {SugarValue = 120}
end

Events.OnCreateLivingCharacter.Add(Diabetes.EXIST)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- raises blood sugar --------------------------------------------------------------------------

local ModData = player:getModData().Diabetes
modData.SugarValue = 0.5 + modData.SugarValue

    if (SugarValue >= 400) then
        setBodyDamage(getPlayer():getBodyDamage() + (0.05))
    end

    if (SugarValue < 40)
        setBodyDamage(getPlayer():getBodyDamage() + (0.08))
    end
end

Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(Diabetes.CalculateSugarValue)```

You deleted the start of the last function?

#

Also you can reload Lua with restarting the game, in case you did not know.

What software are you writing the code in?

#

If you are putting SugarValue in mod data then your Diabetes.PRESSED function is going to need to be different.

getPlayer():getModData().Diabetes.SugarValue

i think it will be so close to each other that you could see if the player needed more blood for healing or if it just wounds his heath is base on
