#

I cant wait tilll NPCs come out

#

Idea for a mod for eventual release of NPCs,

#

If you smoke a lot or drink a lot

#

Your character smells like shit

#

And therefor none of the NPCs want to be arounf you

#

hello ! is any mod making zombie blind ?

faint jewel Feb 17, 2022, 3:20 AM

#

you got made invisible.

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 4:25 AM

#

you can make zombies blind in vanilla

#

or was it customized zombies?

#

because i have not played with configs on vanilla zomboid

void lintel Feb 17, 2022, 5:06 AM

#

Okay so i want to learn how to mod to add some spice to my server with a couple of friends but i dont know where to go

#

Like a new town

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:15 AM

#

Have you checked the Steam workshop?

#

I don't know how to add mods to multiplayer, but I think looking there might be a good start.

#

Can anyone here help me use ItemZed? I want to make a joke version of the base scissors, but I can't figure out how to copy the Base scissor's values.

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:20 AM

#

I just edit the original scripts, never used something like ItemZed before

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:20 AM

#

Ah. Very well.

#

How do I find the original scripts, again? If orget.

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:22 AM

#

ProjectZomboid\media\scripts

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:22 AM

#

I see. Thanks.

#

Ok, I've made the joke scissors. Now how do I make sure they spawn in the world?

#

As in, during gameplay, without cheats or recipes or something?

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:28 AM

#

you need to insert the item and spawn chance to the ProceduralDistributions table. I suggest look into other mod's ProceduralDistributions.lua

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:29 AM

#

Understood. I'll see if I can do this part on my own, but, if I can't... I'll ask for help again.

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:31 AM

#

It's easy really, lots of mods have done the same things, you could just figure out yourself by look into how other mods did it.

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:32 AM

#

Huh. Should I be making a server and shared folder, or...?

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:34 AM

#

Well， you should know where the original ProceduralDistributions.lua is in

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

I'm afraid I don't...

verbal ivy Feb 17, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

Just do search in the game directory

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 5:37 AM

#

Got it. Thanks.

#

There anythign I need to do to make sure the joke scissors have the same functionality as the regular scissors?

#

I just copied and pasted the code from the regular scissors.

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 6:21 AM

#

How do I spawn in items? Do I use the debug menu, or...?

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 6:50 AM

#

nvm, cheat menu works just as well.

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 7:15 AM

#

Uh... preview files.

#

How do I do them?

#

I've placed a preview file in the media folder, and in the folder with the mod.info file.

#

It's 447x338 or so, but it's a png file. That should be fine, right?

#

Oh, never mind. Hold on.

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 7:19 AM

#

Okay. FMod Bank Tools does not work at all -.- I was able to extract the bank-file ... BUT ... it does not repack the bank file ... HOW i can fix this?

round kiln Feb 17, 2022, 7:20 AM

#

anything about tile identifiers code and its list of tiles?

#

trying to modify a short portion of code in a mod to add in the metal roofing as part of something that wont burn the player on ground floor

#

here is the code of the floor is lava mod

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 7:22 AM

#

Ok, I'm confused.

#

I'm trying to upload a mod to the workshop.

#

I've got the folder, a contents folder in that, and in that folder, I've got a 256x256 png image labeled "preview.png".

#

#

Never mind.

round kiln Feb 17, 2022, 7:25 AM

#

nice

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 7:45 AM

#

why the f' can't anybody help me solving my issue?!?

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 7:47 AM

#

I don't know anything about Fmod, sorry.

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 7:47 AM

#

i just want to replace some zombie sounds ... that can't be that difficult or complex, or? ... <_<

willow estuary Feb 17, 2022, 7:55 AM

#

drowsy needle I've got the folder, a contents folder in that, and in that folder, I've got a 2...

Do you have the preview.png in the top-most layer of your mod folder structure as such?

willow estuary Feb 17, 2022, 8:04 AM

#

drifting ore i just want to replace some zombie sounds ... that can't be that difficult or co...

I think that only a relative handful of people have actually used FMOD for PZ modding, and from what I gather it's a fussy, tedious process and has some limitations?
I would try googling it, "zomboid Fmod modding" or somesuch.
Also, I'd suggest looking at the files for other sound replacement mods and see if there's anything in there that could point you in the right direction.
But yeah, googling got results: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474838710 although I have no idea if the guide works or anything?

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 8:06 AM

#

Iv'e got it worked out now, yeah.

willow estuary Feb 17, 2022, 8:08 AM

#

Oh cool! Was that the issue, or something else?

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 8:08 AM

#

i did'nt wanted to use fmod for modding. i searched for replacing sounds in project zomboid. and regardless, what i found. all say, i have to use this fmod thing ... what i don't like ...

round kiln Feb 17, 2022, 8:08 AM

right now im trying to like, figure out how to modify a code for a mod and im not sure what to do

I'm just guessing here, but if it was possible to replace sounds w/o using FMOD, then looking at the files for some sound replacement mods might reveal how?
I always look at the code/files myself before taking people's word for things. People say all sorts of things on the internet?

drowsy needle Feb 17, 2022, 8:10 AM

#

willow estuary Oh cool! Was that the issue, or something else?

Yeah, I didn't know how to properly set up a workshop file.

round kiln Feb 17, 2022, 8:11 AM

#

actually lemme show the code again for the mod im trying to modify

#

this is the entire code for the floor is lava mod, and im trying to figure out what can i do so that the metal roof that is possible to be build through metal working skill wont burn me when i step on it on the ground level or something

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 8:13 AM

#

willow estuary I'm just guessing here, but if it was possible to replace sounds w/o using FMOD,...

i already checked the whole interieur of Project Zomboids Folders. There are a few sounds already inside the folders ... but they don't get used by PZ ... But after a few researches and checking other mods, that replacing sounds, they use a bank-file. And all i found about bank-files to unpack them is FMod ... (and yes. the original bank-file from PZ is such a FMod-Bank-File with all the sounds in it. ALL ... over 5000 single files.)

round kiln Feb 17, 2022, 8:13 AM

#

for someone that never really code this is way too confusing to me

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 8:14 AM

#

i'll try to decompile the Fmod Bank Tools Exe and recode it by myself to maybe work a bit better with bank files and MAYBE figure out, why this bank file not works by the opposite way.

Can someone tell me how the file structure should look like when you place all mods for our own server in one pack?

#

C:\Users\TwentyFree\Zomboid\Workshop\Nirvana Server Mods\Contents\mods\Nirvana Server Mods\media

#

currently this is how i have it, the media map contains every single mod inside its own map: BetterUI,Killcount,etc

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 11:22 AM

#

Does anyone know where and how the tooltips for unequipped clothing add the (+10) next to the resistances? I've been looking for a while but I couldn't find it

#

When I use ISToolTipInv:new(item), I get a tooltip but without (+10)

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

It can't be possible that NOBODY is in any way able to tell, how to work with the soundfiles of pz and how to "replace" them ... some other mods have done this already AND they have modified bank-files ... <_<

bold bay Feb 17, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

Are there mods that add other survivors in singleplayer?
AKA zombies with guns? Is that a possibility?

chrome egret Feb 17, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

@drifting ore I believe you're looking for ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doWearClothingTooltip

#

It iterates over the worn clothing of the player, compares the previous defenses to those on the new item, feeds that info into the tooltip for the new item. The actual tooltip is created as a local returned by ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.addTooltip()

calm depot Feb 17, 2022, 1:42 PM

#

I've created an object that's spawned as an instance of IsoThumpable but its sprite is nil if I try to access it from getIsoObject():getSprite():getName() - despite this, it is rendering correctly in the game

#

thing is, I have multiple sprites and it needs to change depending on whatever the current sprite is - why the heck would it be nil?

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:05 PM

#

Folks. I'm trying to create an indestructible container mod. Biscally, the container needs to be both: not thumpable and fire proof

#

I've managed to set it not thumpable so that players can't destroy it

#

as it comes to fireproof, I got no clue on how to set it

chrome egret Feb 17, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

My suggestion is to look at the code for setting corpses on fire and see if that leads you to anything relevant about items that can or can't burn, or whether fire should spread to a nearby item that is or isn't burnable

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

chrome egret My suggestion is to look at the code for setting corpses on fire and see if that...

good idea. Do you know where the code actually is? java or lua?

chrome egret Feb 17, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

At the very least you should be able to look at the lua code which fills the context menu including the burn option

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

I have to ask again

#

any coders?

#

anyone know what value getBloodLevel() and getDirtyness() returns?

#

because its surely not returning the values I want

#

and Weapons are supposed to also have blood thats why you wash it but... I cant find anything related to blood in its table... unless ive missed something?

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:34 PM

#

next glacier anyone know what value getBloodLevel() and getDirtyness() returns?

which values do you expect?

#

they both return a float value

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:35 PM

#

when checking an item's table in the locals tab of debugger bloodLevel is like 75

#

but the local i set
bloodAmount = bloodAmount + getBloodLevel()

#

bloodAmount shows a decimal

#

ofc if it was a percentage you'd expect the decimal to be 0.75

plush juniper Feb 17, 2022, 2:37 PM

#

Heya anyone here who play cherbourg map?

#

#

that is not even equal to 1-0.75

plush juniper Feb 17, 2022, 2:37 PM

#

I have this map bug where it's fixed on this position so I can't properly use the map

#

Is there a fix for this?

#

oh wait

#

sorry wrong channel

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

what does player:getTotalBlood() return to you?

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

no wait sorry I need to clarify

#

im talking bout items

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:41 PM

#

which items exactly? because the general class InventoryItem has no such methods

#

specialized classes like Cloth do have such methods defined

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

so there is absolutely no way to get a nonclothing blood?

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

no. I'm not saying that. Maybe some items are not intended to have bloodlevel

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

i have a function

function bloodclothes(item)
if instanceof(item, "clothing") then
    return item:getBloodLevel()
else
    return i want to get blood level here of item
end

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

You can't get bloodlevel from items which were not coded for it

drifting ore Feb 17, 2022, 2:47 PM

#

chrome egret <@456226577798135808> I believe you're looking for ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.do...

Look like what I was looking for, thx !

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

It seems to me that only Cloth, HandWeapons and InventoryContainer have bloodlevels associated

#

public boolean hasBlood() {
      if (this instanceof Clothing) {
         if (this.getBloodClothingType() == null || this.getBloodClothingType().isEmpty()) {
            return false;
         }

         ArrayList var1 = BloodClothingType.getCoveredParts(this.getBloodClothingType());
         if (var1 == null) {
            return false;
         }

         for(int var2 = 0; var2 < var1.size(); ++var2) {
            if (this.getBlood((BloodBodyPartType)var1.get(var2)) > 0.0F) {
               return true;
            }
         }
      } else {
         if (this instanceof HandWeapon) {
            return ((HandWeapon)this).getBloodLevel() > 0.0F;
         }

         if (this instanceof InventoryContainer) {
            return ((InventoryContainer)this).getBloodLevel() > 0.0F;
         }
      }

      return false;
   }

#

from InventoryItem

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 2:53 PM

#

HandWeapon
and
InventoryContainer

right?

#

so i can have

function functionname(item)
if instanceof(item, "Clothing") or instanceof(item, "HandWeapon") or instanceof(item, "InventoryContainer");
return item.getBloodLevel()
end

#

thanks

#

will get to testing this

#

decompiling java

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

oh probably something i couldnt have done

#

because I couldnt know what items had bloodlevels

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:04 PM

#

yep. Java code is useful to inspect things

#

you can "make sense" of things much faster than the trial and error method

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

#

what statement do I do

#

to reject if its nil

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:07 PM

#

if the method is not defined?

#

or the value is nil?

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:07 PM

#

dont they mean the same thing?

#

or yeah if the method returns nil

#

local function CalculateItemFilth(item)
    local bloodAmount = 0;
    local dirtAmount = 0;
    local waterUsage = 0;
    if instanceof(item, "Clothing") or instanceof(item, "HandWeapon") or instanceof(item, "InventoryContainer") then

if item:getBloodLevel() ~= nil then```

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:10 PM

#

you're testing if the method exist

#

if you want to know the returning value, then you must call the method with ()

#

ok

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:11 PM

#

does this count as the method existing

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:11 PM

are you sure the method returns nil? I think it returns 0

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:11 PM

but has a nil value

tried to call nil

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:12 PM

instead of testing the item's class, try testing if it responds to a method

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:31 PM

It can be made as simple as that?

probably thought too hard

let me test

don't know. Try it out

not an expert in Lua ... but that should work

yeah i say that because it looks like it could work

chrome egret Feb 17, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

Your example JosEffigy is only doing a value comparison

#

But the problem is in the call itself. hotdog's method should reference the method as a handle without invoking it to test

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:37 PM

#

the code I sent you from CalculateItemFilth does return 0 when the item has neither a bloodlevel nor dirtyness

#

you can fix that by adding +1 in the final call if you want to

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:37 PM

#

ah wait

#

that was dumb

#

should not have /100

#

its perfect

#

thank you so much

#

i was racking my brains because although I wasnt good at lua

#

I was focused on knowing what items had the methods

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 3:39 PM

#

yeah ... your logic was correct in fact, but sometimes there is an easier way to do things

next glacier Feb 17, 2022, 3:39 PM

#

btw after I tweak this

#

this is basically what happens

#

if 100/100 blood and 100/100 dirt
then water usage = 10

#

no wait. maybe i should balance this so that
100/100 bloody = water usage 10
and 50 dirt + 50 blood = water usage 10
because dirt stacks slowly and some items dont have dirt

#

i present

#

finished code

#

---@param item InventoryItem
require("ISWashClothing")
local function CalculateItemFilth(item)
    local bloodAmount = 0;
    local dirtAmount = 0;
    local waterUsage = 0;

    if item.getBloodLevel then
      bloodAmount = bloodAmount + item:getBloodLevel()/10
    end

    if item.getDirtyness then
      dirtAmount = dirtAmount + item:getDirtyness()/10
    end

    waterUsage = bloodAmount + dirtAmount
    return math.floor(waterUsage+0.5)
end

local ISWashClothing_GetRequiredWater = ISWashClothing.GetRequiredWater;
function ISWashClothing.GetRequiredWater(item)
    local vanillaWaterAmount = ISWashClothing_GetRequiredWater(item);
    local filth = CalculateItemFilth(item)
    
    if filth < 1 then
        return 1
    elseif filth > 10 then
        return 10
    else
        return filth
    end
end

local ISWashClothing_new = ISWashClothing.new;
function ISWashClothing:new(...)
    local this = ISWashClothing_new(self, ...);
    local waterUnits = ISWashClothing.GetRequiredWater(this.item)
    local filth = CalculateItemFilth(this.item)
    this.maxTime = waterUnits*20
    if this.maxTime > 200 then
        this.maxTime = 200
    elseif this.maxTime < 1 then
        this.maxTime = 1
    end

    print("Washing Information")
    print("filth: ", filth)
    print("maxTime: ", this.maxTime)

    if this.character:isTimedActionInstant() then
        this.maxTime = 1
    end
    return this;
end```

#

why wash weapons?

#

its 64/100 blood and water is 1/1
so probably doesnt have bloodlevel

#

because if filth < 1 then
return 1

#

but now that I think about it, why wash weapons at all?

That's how Sould Filcher did his nemesis zombie.

OnCreate is the way you would do it.

Huh as thought but what should it be set if I can ask. Been looking through a bit other mods but can only find people using it for flamethrowers and cause of such, using something like - OnCreate:Fill_LiquidAmmo

daring palm Feb 17, 2022, 11:56 PM

#

Guys. is there an event for an item update when its state changes?

willow estuary Feb 17, 2022, 11:56 PM

#

You're gonna need to create a custom lua function that is called when the recipe OnCreate is called.
Something with the equivalent of "result item set ammo count to maximum ammo count" or such.
Look at the recipecode.lua in media/lua/server for how vanilla PZ handles OnCreate functions for recipes.

placid hinge Feb 17, 2022, 11:58 PM

Ahh got it, need to go a bit deeper than lol. Thanks for the help, pretty much jus trying to create mag that get charged via the crafting tab to be fully loaded rather than inserting bullets.

lusty nebula Feb 18, 2022, 12:06 AM

#

I was reading PZ wiki about lua event and about the OnTick one it says, I quote " Triggered every tick, try to not use this one, use EveryTenMinutes instead because it can create a lot of frame loss/garbage collection. "
My scripts uses this to not let spawn the default belt applied by the game when a new character is spawned....better switch to the 10 mins one or not?


   Events.OnTick.Remove(RMMM_MilitarySpawn.RemoveBelt)
   local item = getPlayer():getInventory():getFirstTypeRecurse("Base.Belt2")
   getPlayer():getInventory():Remove(item)
 
 end
 
 
Events.OnTick.Add(RMMM_MilitarySpawn.RemoveBelt)```

Well yes, but it would be better just to have this code be called once, when the character has first been created/spawned.

So I'm looking into making a simple mod to add one farmable plant to the game. So far I've seen that vanilla plants are hard-coded in farming_vegetableconf.lua and SFarmingSystem.lua, how easy is it exactly to just add a modded type of plant to this same logic? Are there any other lua files I need to be aware of? I want to keep my mod very lightweight.

#

Additionally, does anyone know of a mod that adds one single plant with vanilla behavior like I'm talking about that I could look over? I know of a few that add a ton of plants with custom recipes and stuff, but I want to stick as close to vanilla as possible.

If you really want it high detailed and if you are going to look at it mostly it means you are not going to put a helmet or mask on it why dont you make that head a wearable helmet make custom UV and detail it out as much as you want?

#

If you are going to wear stuff over it make a custom body location then you can wear other stuff over it if they wont clip much

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

I mean you could do that but I think the main issue stems just from the fact that high detail is lost on a small scale model. Even if he went that route you still need to make compromises so that the texture doesn't liik like a mess.

In game we will never get a close up view like in that image so whilst it is nice it means very little

outlines are likely to only make the textute look choppy

Yeah i dont know how to make a custom body location

#

what does that even mean

we dont attach them to bones?

oh right

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:06 PM

oh I don't know about any of that

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 2:06 PM

so you can wear stuff over it

next glacier so custom body location so that it wouldnt register as

Yeah

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:07 PM

you know that is actually a good approach. then in the character creator make a selector for you to pick those heads.

#

unless I am understanding wrong

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

yeah

#

I'll do that next time

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

just make the full head, hair and all

sinful vessel Feb 18, 2022, 2:08 PM

#

You could add extra details to the mesh, around eyes, eyebrows and some good ambient occlusion paint it would look great

#

You cant do these while just painting base character model

yea

its already up to 1024

not really bad it's just you can't really tell what it is supposed to be

#

kinda figured

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

yeah

#

the hairline is too low

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

yea the hair doesn't fit either

#

if you had hair to go with it I think it would all fit together and be more understandable

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

thats why i edited model and textures

#

the hairline isnt realistic, let alone anime

#

where foreheads are bigger than real

#

and the ears are too high

#

looks better with mikasa hair tho

#

edited it abit

#

squished the face more

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:37 PM

#

just looking at the mikasa hair makes it more recognizable

#

with the bang in her face

#

I think the smile is odd.

#

I think it would look better with no mouth so you can interperate the expression yourself

a permanent smile looks off

or something a little more subtle

I like it. again, the size of the model and the perspective is working against you here but I do think it looks good in the situations where you can really see it. Perspective has been a challenge for me as well. Like when I place my pillows on the ground you can't see the image very well and that was one of the main reasons I made it

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 2:43 PM

#

is it possible for you to

#

make the ground model standing?

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

yea but that would look offputting having it just stand straight up. I want to be able to lay it on the bad like you would IRl. Maybe have suggested adding stands for them and that is what I will probably do if I can work out how.

#

Ideally I would like to be able to rotate both axis when placing items in world so you can display it as you wish.

lusty nebula I was reading PZ wiki about lua event and about the OnTick one it says, I quote ...

@lusty nebula not exactly sure but afaik the command Events.OnTick.Remove(...) in your code example should guarantee that the function is only called once on the first game tick. performance should therefore not be an issue.

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 3:15 PM

They spawn on special neckbeard zombies and on double beds kinda like the screenshot on the the workshop page

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

next glacier how do you get the rope thing

use rope on the pillow

#

1 pillow per side

#

so you can do 1 for the back and front

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

sadly when equipped on back

#

bunny girl side

#

i wanted the hawt side xD

#

maybe for front

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

that side is on the front piece.

#

so the back piece shows the back image and vice versa

#

made the most sense to me

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 3:23 PM

hmm

different models for front and back?

#

i thought you could

rather than crafting a front and a back

that was just the easiest method

"So if our cheater profession should start in the large warehouse (where else!?) the game will show us a player position of X: 3110 and Y: 1809. Unfortunately we can't use those "absolute" coordinates for the spawning code. We have to calculate the "relative" coordinates instead. Don't worry though - it is pretty easy. Basically you just need to divide the absolute coordinates by 300 to get the cells, but more importantly you have to ignore the remainder. Our coordinates for the big warehouse would be X: 10 and Y: 6 then. Now we have the cell in which the player should spawn. Relative to that position we need the exact coordinates and this is where the remainder comes into play. Still using the above coordinates the remainders of the division would be for X: 110 and for Y: 9."

I think the command Events.OnTick.Remove(...) in the code example makes it so that the function is called only once on the first game tick. this is exactly when the player has spawned for the first time. problem was that the default belt could not be removed easily via events like OnNewGame since it wasn't clear to us when the game adds the belt to the player. what I don't know though is how this behaves if the player re-joins an existing world after player death by using the option "New Character", i.e. not clear for me whether the default belt gets still removed in such a situation.

@willow estuary and @lusty nebula to solve the reloading problem, a construction like this could be used in case there are no better ideas. seems to work properly at least in single player for me. in case the player finds a belt during game and adds it to their inventory, it doesnt get removed anymore after reloading if the code below is used.

that needs to be renamed to? That has all the vanilla clothin in it because again for some reason without it my zombies were nude

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

idk what to do with it

willow estuary Feb 18, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

next glacier fileguidtable

No, that is fine. The fileguidtable in a mod will not overwrite the vanilla fileguidtable/

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

it wont?

#

what should the contents be like @willow estuary

#

only the new added items

#

?

willow estuary Feb 18, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

It's how every mod that add clothing does it.
It absolutely works that way.

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

because i see every vanilla item in his fileGuidTable.xml

willow estuary Feb 18, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

It should contain any new clothing items.
And any other clothing items referenced in the mod's zombie outfits,

#

That's normal for mods that add outfits.

next glacier Feb 18, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

so that's fine?

#

so fileGuidTable.xml doesnt work the same as .txt

hot patrol Feb 18, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

so that is why my zimbies were nude. in any case having all the items seems to make things easier if I ever make a new zed

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

(specifically, I want to modify Capacity in ItemContainer.java)

#

@sharp wind if you want to just do "2 of any of the following" then modData["need:x/y/z"] = 2 would work

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:06 AM

#

this is in recipes

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

yeah, I think you're gonna have to do it in proper lua for that

#

but then, in Lua, you can do anything

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:08 AM

#

I suppose so, but then you'd need to know the syntax for what's need doing

#

I've never seen ["need:x/y/x"] used before

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:09 AM

#

I use exactly that syntax for my metal barrel/drum crafting mod

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:09 AM

#

that seems to be something specific to this game?

#

it parses things in the [] ?

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

take a look at the code: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744974916

#

see media/lua/client/ISBlacksmithMenuPatch.lua

#

line 48, I concat a table with / to generate the needed string

#

if I remember correctly, the implementation that parses it is in ISBuildUtil

#

so you could also just roll your own, if the built-in isn't granular enough for you

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:28 AM

#

So, it is right, that syntax is something only to this game

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:28 AM

#

what?

#

it's just regular lua syntax

#

it's setting a string key on a table

#

you can walk the table with pairs

#

table.someValue = 5 is the same as table["someValue"] = 5 - the only thing here is that : and / are not legal characters for using the former notation, so you have to use the latter

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

I'm not talking about that

#

but about the : and /

#

between []

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

I don't get what you're saying

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

that table[need:x/y/z] is a proper syntax

#

I've never seen that before

#

Is what I mean

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

are you familiar with for k,v in pairs(tbl)

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

yes

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

it's not table[need:x/y/z], that would be invalid

#

it's table["need:x/y/z"]

#

as in, it's a string key

#

a lua table can have anything as its key, except nil

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

calm depot <@!222954376677949442> if you want to just do "2 of any of the following" then `...

I was replying to that

#

You wrote that and I thought it was odd

#

as I've never seen such syntax

#

must be a short-hand

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:33 AM

#

so you've never written say... table[2] - same thing, but an integer key

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:34 AM

#

It's the ["need:x/y/z"] that I've not seen before

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:34 AM

#

it's just an arbitrary string, ISBuildUtil iterates through the table and parses the string

#

to lua, it's just a string

#

there's loads of code in the game where they use tbl["stuff"] notation (even though they could just as well have used tbl.stuff

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:35 AM

#

I'm familiar with that

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:36 AM

#

right, so if you want to get/set a key that contains non-alphanumeric characters, you have to use the square brackets notation

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:37 AM

#

I know

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:37 AM

#

or say, you receive a variable in your function from elsewhere, then you would have to use the square brackets notation

#

not sure what you're confused about then, it's just the syntax of the language

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

Okay, I looked at that line in your code, it's just a string you constructed as the index for the table barrel.modData

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:39 AM

#

yes, I use table.concat since it's cleaner code - I have a single source of truth for modifying the recipe

#

better than hardcoding it as a static string

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

I thought you were doing a recipe where the input is any of Item1=x/Item2=y/Item3=z , where x,y,z > 1 and need not be the same.

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

oh, in your original example you specified x/y/z all == 2

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

calm depot oh, in your original example you specified x/y/z all == 2

well, yes, but it can be generalized right?

#

meaning that if I have at least some of Item1, Item2, or Item3, at least some of which satisfied x,y,z, then the recipe will craft

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

yes, but it doesn't support X or Y or Z where if X then require 2, or if Y then require 3, or if Z then require 4

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

but I see now that the selection mechanism for recipe is not so advanced

#

I'll use OnCreate to write a function to do what's needed for the result then

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

if you want something more advanced, adapt buildUtil.consumeMaterial in lua/server/BuildingObjects/ISBuildUtil.lua

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

scaling things down to Item1/Item2/Item3 , where each is at least 1

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

doesn't have to be 1

misty ginkgo Feb 19, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

👍

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

it can be any amount, but it will consume that amount from any of X, Y or Z, whichever is available

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

I tried the syntax Item1=2/Item2=2/Item3=2, it was not happy

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

yes, that obviously won't work

#

I pointed you at the function that parses the string, it doesn't handle that

#

the correct syntax would be modData["need:Item1/Item2/Item3"] = 2

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

Yes, but would that work in the recipe format ?

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

no

#

because this isn't part of the recipe logic

#

the only way you could do it with recipes is split it up into a multistage build, like they do for wooden walls

#

(i.e. wall frame -> wall level 1/2/3)

#

because then you can create multiple paths to stage 1, then stage 2, etc

#

probably won't provide for the best user experience, better to roll the code yourself, but it's doable

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:51 AM

#

It's sufficient for now to use recipe format of Item1/Item2/Item3/etc and scale with OnCreate to modify the result

#

I need it anyway since the result is partial unit

#

It doesn't like result that isn't an integer

#

weird question, but how would I make zombies always lunging?

#

another question, how would I replace zombie walk animations with my own fbx?

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

AFAIK you can't change that without modifying the java code

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

damn

#

ok

#

not even replace them?

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

there's a mod that makes them always run at night

#

if I remember right

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

I've seen people replace the zombies animations

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

is that what you mean by "lunging"?

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

sharp wind is that what you mean by "lunging"?

no, I mean when they raise their arms

#

when you move near

sharp wind Feb 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

walk with their arms reaching?

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

you can change their walking via IsoZombie.setWalkType from lua

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

the animation is called lunge

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

I don't know of anything to make them do the lunge anim

#

as for the FBX, you should be able to define your own models data that's named the same as the base game and I believe it'll override it

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:58 AM

#

calm depot you can change their walking via `IsoZombie.setWalkType` from lua

how would I do that in a script format? just place that in a lua file or what?

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:58 AM

#

um, you would need to iterate over the table of IsoZombie instances and call that method

#

but "lunge" isn't a valid walk type

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

calm depot but "lunge" isn't a valid walk type

ok

#

I can just do plan b

#

which was replace zombie animationsa

#

only issue

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

I mentioned it mainly in response to Fatmice mentioning the mod that makes them sprint at night

wet dune Feb 19, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

I dont know how to retarget animations to another rig, I'll ask in modeling

frank rivet Feb 19, 2022, 4:57 AM

#

Hey does anyone have any decent experience with lua. I am needing help with something that i am hoping is really simple. I'd appreciate the help 😄

silent bloom Feb 19, 2022, 5:31 AM

I have spent way too long working on this image for my mod and not actually working on the mod itself, but I wanted to share because I think only this channel would understand, haha

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 5:43 AM

#

@silent bloom we've all been there, it's called "yak shaving"

hidden compass Feb 19, 2022, 5:50 AM

Please tell me.

Is it possible to place items in specific locations at the start of the game?
For example, can I place a gun on the desk at the police station in Muldraugh?
(Not spawn into a container)

hidden compass Please tell me. Is it possible to place items in specific locations at the star...

It's "possible" but you'll either have to write the code or find existing code that does it.

calm depot Feb 19, 2022, 5:56 AM

@hidden compass yes, see media/lua/server/BuildingObjects/ISPlace3DItemCursor.lua
