Question

[gaunt pendant]

but still, it won't improve much

[bronze mulch]

You mean

save it in the cache?

like the first time it loads its gonna lag sure

but it also saves them clothes

so it wont have to check them again

[gaunt pendant]

yea that's what I'm doing rn

Browser thinks there's a smarter way to handle that list to begin with

[bronze mulch]

i mean just two diff ideas

[drifting stump]

you can get variations of a specific item

[gaunt pendant]

well this is good enough for me

lil micro stutter but nothing as bad as before

[bronze mulch]

i mean

you are both right and it would be the best if the ideas would be combined anyway

[gaunt pendant]

Putting this on the workshop for now, might revise if a future version 🤷

At the very least we know what's causing it now

[bronze mulch]

send the link when you are done lol

[gaunt pendant]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802922253

hope that worked

[bronze mulch]

Gotta test this more

idk if this works

[zealous peak]

yo

Not usre if this is betteer asked here or mod support: Is there a mod out there that lets u buuild dirt paths?

[bronze mulch]

its actually called

build paths

the mod lol

[zealous peak]

thank you. Like, seriously

I searched for something like this months ago and didn't even think it existed until a friend of mine alluded to it

[kindred jay]

any mods that combine all of the ui menus (i.e inventory, health info, crafting) all in one menu with tabs? Something like 7 days to die?

[bronze mulch]

Kinda workz

[gaunt pendant]

Kinda?

[drifting ore]

What are the odds of a Teamspeak mod? Like... If anyone's played Arma 3, TFAR/ACRE2, but project zomboid

I feel like it would be doable as the game already has a system to detect how close players are to each other so really the mod would just have to sorta highjack that aspect and take it to teamspeak

But I'm not a modder so idk

Hell it might already exist

[tropic dirge]

Does anybody know about a spawn protection mod? The reason I ask is. People grind for skills, or live a long time, doing a great job. Then gets disconnected due to an error in an unlucky situation. Logs back in and dies.

[lime heath]

I didn't know people still use teamspeak.

[drifting ore]

It's still heavily used in arma 3 and a 32 person server is free

[tame mulch]

Ingame VOIP not enough?

[drifting ore]

Currently doesn't work with walkie talkies or ham radios

Shouting through them with Q does, though

[tame mulch]

Walkie talkie VOIP works

[drifting ore]

Rimmy had a similar issue recently

On YouTube

[tame mulch]

Maybe to far distance?

[drifting ore]

he was stood next to the guy

And q worked

Also in-game VoIP is kinda... Idk I wanna say underwhelming

It doesn't sound very nice

A teamspeak plugin though, that'd be pog

[tame mulch]

I think way to connect TeamSpeak to Zomboid is write from game to text file coords of players and if walkie talkies data. And read from outside of game this file and send data to TeamSpeak

[drifting ore]

So would a plugin like that be somewhat easy to create?

[tame mulch]

I think possible, but not very easy

I don't know how work plugin for TeamSpeak

[drifting ore]

Yeah

[tame mulch]

I think better wait when we fix radio and walkie talkies. But VOIP with walkie talkie works good now

Also can talk between walkie talkie and HAM radio

[drifting ore]

Yea true

[zealous wing]

I got... Fitty cans of Code Red.
Imma do a lotta mod dev this week 😄

[woven wren]

Don't know if I should release this tonight or tommorow.

[kindred jay]

either way its gonna be dope

[woven wren]

I think I'll do it tommorow.

I'll get more downloads that way.

[broken fulcrum]

hey, anyone knows how are the hair salons called for procedural distribution?

I couldn't find it in the wiki, I think it was outdated

[flat apex]

If you mean how haircuts are picked: Randomly with a few conditions found in Definitions\HairOutfitDefinitions.lua

[broken fulcrum]

No I mean the "female barber shops" around the map, with towels, scissors and hair dyes

https://map.projectzomboid.com/#0.6248328714601742,0.22101708761357255,823.0398691486484

This ☝️

[flat apex]

Ah, I think there's a few for different types of containers and they're prefixed with Salon

[broken fulcrum]

Thank you! I'll try to find it tomorrow, goodnight

[tropic dirge]

I would pay for a mod like this

[bronze mulch]

I mean as you said there is a lil micro stutter I will check it with clothing mods later

[gaunt pendant]

The whole thing is pretty inefficient the way it's meant to work:

• Get list off all possible recipe ingredients (all clothing items, for rip sheets)
• Mark the ones you have in inventory
• Sort that list, so the marked ones are on top (and then alphabetically)
• Remove stuff (starting from the bottom of the list, so stuff in your inventory has priority to remain) thatbis considered a variant of other items, e.g bandana head == bandana face, so that stuff only shows up once

To achieve that it's at least n^2 (check each item against each other item's extra variants)

And gets way worse with more stuff added from mods, obviously.

[bronze mulch]

I will continue to try and delete the whole window as a whole today

Probably will ask for help

Prepare

[gaunt pendant]

Don't do that, just remove that part that removes the duplicates

[bronze mulch]

I mean in general

I dont see the point of the window prompt

It shows me what clothing I can rip

Like bruh

[gray goblet]

i've always been kinda bummed by this, why are they even sorting it alphabetically. just sort it at launch, then move every recipe that has mats to a new list and hide it from non mats list. would reduce it to O(n) right? no real reason to have it alphabetically since the amount of recipes available per time being so low. Allowing you to easily search what mats you need. While increasing ram a tid bit should be faster(?)

[gaunt pendant]

It's a mess but I can see why It's done like that 😩

[gray goblet]

I can see it aswell, its viable for vanilla. but a pain when content becomes to high as u mentioned. but theres a mod that just removes the sorting so its fast but hard to find what recipe u can make etc :/

[gaunt pendant]

The sorting is not the problem

This part is

[bronze mulch]

Anyway

Any idea which script part is responsible for the window showing anyway?

If I delete the first 2 script parts

Bscly font and image

It does not lag anymore in anyway shape or form

Which is funny

[gaunt pendant]

Bro leave the window, just remove that 1 - character in line 2592. Poof all problems gone

[bronze mulch]

You kiddin

Tho won't it break something?

[gaunt pendant]

Dead serious

[bronze mulch]

Like

[gaunt pendant]

Not worst case you'll have duplicates in the tooltip (omg how will we ever live wkth that)

[bronze mulch]

The whole tooltip window makes no sense to exist anyway

That's what craftmenu is for

[gaunt pendant]

That part is:

For every clothing item x:
  For every clothing item y:
    For every variant in x:
      Is y a variant of x?

[bronze mulch]

Cuz like

[gaunt pendant]

Which is ok-ish for vanilla's 190 or so clothing items with few variants

[bronze mulch]

Delete

Turns into this

But does not lag

[gaunt pendant]

Bro just delete that 1 minus and check

It works

[bronze mulch]

[gaunt pendant]

Or use that mod I posted, which at least takes most of the computing needed out of is y a variant of x

[bronze mulch]

But does that not mean that it's not only the sortings system fault

But also the fact that it displays it for some reason?

[gaunt pendant]

The problem is this

It reaches crazy numbers of iterations

190^2=36k
400^2=160k

[bronze mulch]

Yes but it stops lagging when you delete the texture also

[gaunt pendant]

The texture is not the problem

You probably deleted smth else related

[gray goblet]

could be if he reloads the texture everytime he checks an item

but it shouldnt

[bronze mulch]

I dont mean that the texture is the problem as you say its obsly the sorting system

[gaunt pendant]

Likely, the game caches once-fetched textures

Otherwise it'd be unplayable

[bronze mulch]

But if deleting the texture and font fixes it

It means that the vanilla script check them all in the first place as you said lol

[gaunt pendant]

The problem is checking every single clothing item against every other single clothing item's variants and by doing so fetching everything via script manager

[gray goblet]

^

[gaunt pendant]

Couple mods that add clothing you have a million iterations every time that tooltip pops up 🤣

All while that list never really changes, only what's should be shown on top should

[bronze mulch]

Sponge clothing adds the ability to open and close almost every jacket etc

Still tho what I wanna do is delete the tooltip window as a whole

[gaunt pendant]

Yup, so you're nearing n^2+n 😂

[bronze mulch]

So when you hover the cursor the whole window just does not popup

[gaunt pendant]

Remove everything in that if

2767 to 2775

Well, remove the if as well haha - no point having it empty

[bronze mulch]

Wait is this even possible to release as a workshop mod if it deletes a part of vanilla script

Cuz you optimized it

But this is deleting lol

[gray goblet]

is it not possible to override like in python?

[bronze mulch]

Dno that's why I'm asking

[gray goblet]

dunno tbh, never touched LUA i know its a thing in java

[bronze mulch]

@gaunt pendant comrade you reckon if that possible lol? or will it need another script for it to delete it

[gaunt pendant]

You can usually replace full functions

[gray goblet]

do you have any idea why the game becomes insanely slow when you carry alot of stuff. is the game updating every item in ur inventory at every tick?

[bronze mulch]

another problem

even worse

even worse one*

[gray goblet]

ive noticed this alot cuz i do some experiments to see how much of each material etc u can find per city

and looting eventually ur game to almost entire stop fps wise. driving when ur 2k weight runs at 5 fps compared to 150 fps when at 20-30

[bronze mulch]

Can't get alot of help through google since most of them modding forums happen to be about minecraft lol

[gray goblet]

well, in the end its all code.

what are you currently having an issue with?

[bronze mulch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/970610531104882781/970621519417970698/2022-05-02_10-41-25.mp4

[gray goblet]

ive just been loosely reading, but i mainly work in java / python so abit unsure of datatypes etc in lua

[bronze mulch]

Tiaxx fixed this issue that actually many people have

with this mod that optimizes it mostly

[gray goblet]

oh yeah yeah, i have that issue in my playthrough

[bronze mulch]

💀

[pseudo lake]

Pretty easy fix would be to sort them and only load limited amount

[bronze mulch]

What im trying to do and did with tiaxx's help anyway is to delete the whole window prompt on its own anyway cuz i find it nonsense that it is there in the first place

[gray goblet]

it only happens for items with alot of recipes so theres an obvious fix although tedious

[bronze mulch]

like

[gaunt pendant]

Dunno, haven't really experienced that. Biggest fps drops I've noticed is with tons of zombies, rain puddles and tons of items on ground

[bronze mulch]

Why do i need to see 192 items i can rip

if thats aleardy in the crafting menu

• it lags the game

[gray goblet]

is every clothing variant its own id or just a meta type of an overlaying id?

[bronze mulch]

Alright so

as you said tiaxx i deleted the whole window on its own now using your help

[gaunt pendant]

From what I saw own id and then there's a list of variants on each

[bronze mulch]

My question is how do i release this as a mod now that i can download everytime i gotta uninstall every mod cuz i use way too many

i see the steam workshop thing

for releases etc

[gaunt pendant]

Copy what I did here, just replace that other function

[bronze mulch]

wut

you mean mod ur mod

[gaunt pendant]

https://github.com/Tiax/ZomboidCraftTooltipAntilag

[gray goblet]

how does it check for recipes? does it look through all recipes and checks which ones got rip clothing as a recipe?

i hope they are doing a crafting rework of that system ngl, it seems wicked slow

[bronze mulch]

Post to github poster description alright noted

Problem being im not sure even how to start this script

time to use google for help as always

[gaunt pendant]

Download that shit, goto your userdir, there should be a Zomboid folder, in there ahould be a workshop folder where the stuff goes

It should find it there and you can start changing stuff around

[bronze mulch]

got somewhat past the issue

alright

[bronze mulch]

Lad you reckon if i need a script for >when the mod gets deleted the files return to normal

or does steam do that automatically

[gaunt pendant]

You what now? If u do it with mods, disabling the mod is enough. If xou changed the files in the gamedir directly, you'll need to restore a backup/do a fullcheck in steam

[bronze mulch]

the mod thing

bruh

as much as im bad at programming

doing simple stuff like a website or somethin in html is easy did that like 5 years ago

But im having major issues typing a simple script in lua that would do

Find lines "" >delete them

[gaunt pendant]

Because that's not how you do it

[bronze mulch]

forgot the part where it tries to do that in

IsInventory

[gaunt pendant]

The game loads all the vanilla scripts, then all the mods (in some order). So what ur mod would do is replace an existing function, that is loaded from vanilla game

So brute force method: copy the entire function to a new file in your mod and change stuff there.

This will then override/replace/redefine that vanilla function with that code

Looky here https://github.com/Tiax/ZomboidCraftTooltipAntilag/blob/master/Contents/mods/CraftTooltipAntilag/media/lua/client/AntiLagInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua

That replaces the vanilla function ISRecipeTooltip:isExtraClothingItemOf(item1, item2)

A mod cannot just delete that 1 part within the function, you have to redefine it. Best case you can call the original and change the result or do smth before and then call the original. You cannot do that here, you have to completely replace the function body (even if mostly identical)

[bronze mulch]

So the script will bscly look like that

Function >the function that im changing

Copy paste of the original function but turned off < If i wan't to completly turn off that window lol

[gaunt pendant]

Yeah I believe it was ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.addDynamicalContextMenu u wanted to override

Mind you, this is kinda the worst way to do it compatibility wise

If TIS ever changes a single thing, you're still overriding it with the "old" logic. Not much you can do about it in this case, though.

[bronze mulch]

Alright let's say i want to do this like

you said ealier

delete them - for example

in which way the whole script turns off

or change the script

so it just wont turn off in anyshape or form

[gaunt pendant]

Yea that whole block is then commented out, makes u wonder if it was supposed to be on in the first place 🤣

So yeah, copy paste that whole function, then change as u like, e.g. comment out that block

[bronze mulch]

Alright so the function of this is

CraftTooltip:layoutContents

epic

Alright copy pasted the whole function

top to bottom

did them changes

[gaunt pendant]

Ok so 1 catch still:

[bronze mulch]

What do i do for this

to load itself into the main one

[gaunt pendant]

CraftTooltip is local, so ur mod cannot access it. Use ISRecipeTooltip:

They reference the same object, so that works

Lastly, put in a folder in mods dir. See that example mod folder already there for reference

In userdir/zomboid/mods, that is

Won't go into workshop stuff, that's extra steps

[bronze mulch]

Wait i got confused

The function that im editing rn is

[bronze mulch]

i mean the function that is the part of this is

a

wait

didn't see them

lines

and the start

is crafttooltip anyway

alright

[gaunt pendant]

U don't copy that. I'm just showing that "CraftTooltip" is file local, so your mod lua wouldn't know about it

Luckily, they aliased it as ISRecipeTooltip as global var

So u can use that, it's the same but available to your mod

[bronze mulch]

alright

this at the top and lines 2458 to 2684 copied

with the changes applied

Let's see where it goes

[gaunt pendant]

Wait what 😂

[bronze mulch]

or did you literally mean the whole function

[gaunt pendant]

Why isExtraClothingItemOf ?

[bronze mulch]

wrong screenshot

lol

mbm

[bronze mulch]

I downloaded your code to refer to

lol

[gaunt pendant]

Args should be x,y

[bronze mulch]

Alright literally copied it from the vanilla code

should work

hopefully

[bronze mulch]

This

[gaunt pendant]

But yes, whole file should be

function ISRecipeTooltip:layouContents(x, y)
  -- your logic/copy paste with ur changes
end

[bronze mulch]

looks gud

[gaunt pendant]

mod.info has the stuff shown ingame, e.g. mod name and description, just look at what's already there

Should be able to figure it out from there

[bronze mulch]

looks gud

alright

moment of truth

[gaunt pendant]

It's been 10 minutes. His PC exploded taking everything within a 2km radius with him. Probably. Rip.

[bronze mulch]

i have no idea why

but it

i mean its there

fuck

its the id

does the id need to be the same as the lua file xD

Didn't work

big f

here lies my beauty

wonderin if

thats the script problem or i cant put it in

the mod folder xD

i mean

it was there

[gaunt pendant]

Mod id is ur arbitrary name for it, just make sure its unique

[bronze mulch]

i mean first it bugged out cuz the id was examplemod

to be extra sure i named everything

[gaunt pendant]

What am I looking at?

[bronze mulch]

the script

that was sup to override the vanilla one

[gaunt pendant]

That's not at all it though?!

[gaunt pendant]

^

Multiple functions, still referrong to it as CraftTooltip

[bronze mulch]

you know the song that goes

skubidubiduba

like

late 90

[gaunt pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/beuca-twitch-scatman-im-the-scatman-scatman-john-gif-18846390

what the fuck

i changed that

i sent a screenshot

BRO

AAAAAAAAAAA

comrade

they all light up

y know any epic lifehack

to copy paste it to all of them at once

[gaunt pendant]

Yes, but u don't wanna do that

[bronze mulch]

wdym

WDYN

[gaunt pendant]

In that script file, delete everything. Now copy the CraftTooltip:layoutContents(x,y) function AND ONLY THAT FUNCTION into it. Now rename it to ISRecipeTooltip:layoutContents

Then do your change (e g. remove that 1 minus). Save, restart game, be amazed.

[bronze mulch]

chineseballs

[bronze mulch]

wait

why

fuck

fuck...

[gaunt pendant]

I really cannot explain it any simpler 😭

[bronze mulch]

no but like

you mean

Man, I think I somehow made a mod that erased my fucking main menu

[tropic dirge]

Can I use this for my server?

[bronze mulch]

wut

[tropic dirge]

Can I use this mod on my dedicated server?

[bronze mulch]

I don't see why it wouldn't work

[bronze mulch]

Check which works better for you tho

Crafting Contextmenu Antilag [41.69]

this one

or RipAndCraftStutterFix

[tropic dirge]

Will do

[exotic fox]

Anyone do modding comission work here?

[broken fulcrum]

iirc @nimble spoke does

[tropic dirge]

Yeah I would like something done aswell

[exotic fox]

Thanks, sent him a dm

[formal ocean]

anyone knows what happened to radioEquipedCheck()? can no longer see it in modding docs

we wanted to make radios work while on belt

[keen frost]

You can't is java hardcoded

[chrome egret]

Nothing saying you can't manually check whether they have a radio on the belt

[obsidian portal]

Hey, got a quick question here, working on adding in a pillow, and I want it to act like the spiffo plush, where it is kind if just a 3d model that sits around, what would be a good way to implement this? Already have the model ready in blender

[frail widget]

This might be a dumb quetsion but we all have to start somewhere

Where can I get started on modding?

[obsidian portal]

the PZ wiki has some good starting points @frail widget

[latent orchid]

yeah, the wiki overall has been improved massively

[vapid arrow]

i just updated my mod, added firearms weapons, zombified doomguys and variants of colors to the armor.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2796143569

[obsidian portal]

Lets go, got an item added, I just need to import the model correctly, and set an Icon

Does anybody here know how you are supposed to assign a 3d model to a Item? Its just a world item

[wet sandal]

Anyone know how to get a custom icon in this area? Or any mods that add one?
Just looking for a class/lua name to get me started

ISEquippedItem.lua

Found it

[keen frost]

He's trying to make radios work on belts, you can't do it with just lua

[wintry stag]

Someone knows the Discord User of the guy that created the weird Richard Mask from Hotline Miami?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728007238

I recreated his mod and now the mask has better textures and well, it's a full mask instead of a hat

[pulsar charm]

none of my recipes make any sound in the game. these are two of my recipes, both using base game sounds, but neither play. Am I missing something?
I am already importing the base game at the top

[hexed arrow]

Heyo guys can someone give me a Lua example how I would cycle through each clothing item in the players inventory and change the condition for each? I manage to change one item at a time and only by its string name and not its category.

[viral sinew]

This is weird, I made table with HandWeapon class as a key and if I try to getStock() inside of the table, it returns nil instead of the WeaponPart class

[azure rivet]

I'm finishing a mod that I've been doing for a long time, but while I'm sharing this trailer what occurred to me to do.
https://youtu.be/y5oqCqhNPv4

[bronze mulch]

Alright

Part of my struggles

Part 2*

[undone crag]

local items = playerObj:getInventory():getItems()
for i = 0, #items-1 do
    local item = items:get(i)
end

[viral sinew]

Is storing HandWeapon class as a key of a table not recommended?

[zealous wing]

I just want to say that I am almost done with my Littering 3.0 mod.
I should have a beta up on the workshop this Saturday for people to try. 😄

Currently I am working on distros and some other polish.

[rotund quarry]

Hey there, I have a question. It's rather broad and general. Let's say I have complete 3D model of a car with variety of its variants, perhaps some attachments. How difficult it would be to add it to the game in terms of all the coding/scripting/witchcraft? Also, if there's someone willing to help me with that if I'd actually had such model?

[bronze mulch]

@gaunt pendant comrade when are you free xD

[zealous wing]

Fairly easy. They got a tutorial for that.

[gaunt pendant]

Oh god what now? 😅

[bronze mulch]

Decided to delete the whole window

I did it

Bravo me

But

When you have more items it shows the rip one or all

And when you hover over that it still lagz

[gaunt pendant]

🤔

[rotund quarry]

Oh, yeah, I found it! But still, if I get to it, I'll barge in here with more questions. I'll be aiming for KI5's quality :)

[lunar robin]

I'm currently trying to stop the loot generation totally, so no loots spawns on the map what so ever.
The servertest_SandboxVars.lua don't have the values for none loot spawn:

    -- 1 = Extremely Rare
    -- 2 = Rare
    -- 3 = Normal
    -- 4 = Common

This is what I did next, unfortunately wouldn't work.
#mapping message

I'd be grateful for any suggestions for my case

[chrome egret]

What happened when you overwrote the distribution like that?

[lunar robin]

Server terminates itself, cursing me for broken overwritten distributions files.

I'll try servertest_SandboxVars.lua

FoodLoot = 0
CannedFoodLoot = 0,
etc.

And I'll write back

[chrome egret]

Slightly disheartened that this one file handles all the icons instead of merely equipped items. Have you determined a good way to add a new button entry to this?

[lunar robin]

This didn't seem to work, the loot's still generated

[chrome egret]

What's the error on your distribution file when you do it the other way?

It'd odd to me that it would break the game, because people have used it in mods before and it's "broken" their loot generation. Curious that you wouldn't be able to do effectively the same.

[noble imp]

vhats the best mods

[chrome egret]

IMHBOCO, Item Searcher is pretty great https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789003239

[wet sandal]

No, I ended up just using it as reference since either way I'd be doing all the drawing manually. I'd been hoping it would have some easy layout management and an easy :addButton() or something.

[chrome egret]

boo

Gonna be hard to draw it in the right place with multiple other mods potentially doing the same thing

[lunar robin]

I lost the logs, but I'll try to set the rolls = 0 for each and every item in distribution

Maybe that'll help

[lunar robin]

It works!

[wet sandal]

I opted to go sideways instead because it was better for my mods purpose.
ISEquippedItems does store the y position of its lowest element though, so mods could use and update that if they wanted to properly add more buttons to the column it seems.

[chrome egret]

Thanks for the advice. I like having my custom UI linked to a keyboard shortcut for convenience, but I think most will prefer an on-screen button like that.

[lunar robin]

I'm not sure what causes this, but after generating a new save on a custom map the zombies seem to be spawned initially in some of the buildings, although my servertest_SandboxVars.lua has the following values:

    ZombieConfig = {
        PopulationMultiplier = 0.0,
        PopulationStartMultiplier = 0.0,
        PopulationPeakMultiplier = 0.0,
        PopulationPeakDay = 1,
        RespawnHours = 0.0,
        RespawnUnseenHours = 8760.0,
        RespawnMultiplier = 0.0,
        RedistributeHours = 8760.0,
        FollowSoundDistance = 100,
        RallyGroupSize = 20,
        RallyTravelDistance = 20,
        RallyGroupSeparation = 15,
        RallyGroupRadius = 3,
    }

I tried generating a new save, multiple times, and each time there were zeds in the buildings. Maybe there is some kind of a prefab for zombie spawn overriding the sandbox options?
BTW, my map has a completely black mapname_ZombieSpawnMap.bmp, so I guess it's not remotely possible for the map itself to generate zeds.

[wet sandal]

I'm not familiar with how zombie spawning works, but the story generator comes to mind in this case.

[lunar robin]

They're turned off as well.

[smoky meadow]

guys does anyone knows how to make custom animation in PZ?

[bronze mulch]

Think i found an issue

also i found the general fix

cuz it turns ouit

if you have even more clothing mods

both yours and the thing we did yesterday don't work that well

my fix idea would be deleting the whole winow

i did it

it works

but

it does not when you have two of the same item type in your inventory

cuz the one or all still prompts the window to pop up

ideas?

By ideas i mean

xD

you reckon where this part of the code is

im reinstalling the game

cuz i fucking prolly deleted half of the code

[lunar robin]

Update:
I've overwritten the ZombiesZoneDefinition.lua and set all the values to 0. Still no effect, zeds still spawn.

[fast galleon]

Bro don't edit game files, just overwrite with mod. You can turn it on/off as you want. If you have more mods, check if somebody else also overwrites same thing.

[bronze mulch]

im editing the game files in the first place to check which file is responsible for it in the first place

then i will overwrite that part with them mod

[fast galleon]

HM, make mod with all copies lua files?

[gaunt pendant]

@bronze mulch Ctrl+f "CraftTooltip" find where it creates and assigns it. C'mon it's not that hard 😩

[bronze mulch]

I would do that

i actually even opened the visual studio

and did exactly what you said

But then my food came

[bronze mulch]

And i've been doing yt since this message xD

pretty sure its like this are

area

tho these 3 are just for the option

its one script up or down i found it a minute ago

[wet sandal]

I usually just drop a break point with the lua debugger when trying to find which code path is responsible for something. Probably a faster workflow to consider.

Instead of editing the files to see a change.

[bronze mulch]

update

i forgot i did it yesterday

while being mighty drunk

loaded a mod that i made yesterday called

chineseSquares

i dont remember why is it called that

but it works

Note to self

drink more

[gaunt pendant]

Ahh yes, the Ballmer Peak

[wet sandal]

Lol

[obsidian portal]

Does anyone have a resource for loot tables and how to add a new item in?

[lunar robin]

They are defined in Distribution.lua and ProceduralDistributions.lua in media\lua\server\Items

Just add the needed definition and value.

[obsidian portal]

Cheers

[drifting ore]

Im looking for mods. Is there a mod,

1. that lets you blend in with zombies, making them not recognize you or something?

2. That lets you be a zombie in MP and scare your friends?

3. That lets you control zombies with some kind of... remote or something like that?

Id love to know if there are such mods

[cosmic condor]

Those are game-breaking mods. I don't think there are such things.

[drifting ore]

There’s a mod where you can cover yourself with corpse blood, haven’t experienced any bugs with it. You gotta do that with three or so corpses and you can crouch through crowded areas without being detected for a while

[drifting ore]

Isnt that op?

[wet sandal]

Sounds like it, but its a mod, it doesn't have to be balanced.

[drifting ore]

yeah, i guess so

[wet sandal]

Might be cool if they spiced it up with higher crafting cost, and some random chance some zombies see through the disguise. And make you really slow without removing the disguise.

[drifting ore]

yeah!

[bronze mulch]

there is a mod that lets you >put zombie blood on you

so you wont be noticed by them

wont change ur model tho

[fair frost]

Maryland State Police, requested by my friend

[storm scarab]

Hey guys I know its silly, but does anyone know a way to delete zombies via Lua? I've tried removeFromWorld() and it always ends in this happening

[tame mulch]

Try check how work debug remove zombies function

[storm scarab]

I've been trying to figure that out, But thanks for the feedback

Only thing i've been able to locate is ForceKillAllZombies()

But obviously that only works to kill ALL zombies, not a specific

[undone crag]

Noooo my code was wrong.

local items = playerObj:getInventory():getItems()
for i = 0, items:size()-1 do
    local item = items:get(i)
end

It should be items:size(), not #items D:
#items is for a Lua table, while items:size() is for one from Java.

[wet sandal]

@storm scarab

function DebugContextMenu.OnRemoveAllZombies(zombie)
    local zombies = getCell():getObjectList()
    for i=zombies:size(),1,-1 do
        local zombie = zombies:get(i-1)
        if instanceof(zombie, "IsoZombie") then
            zombie:removeFromWorld()
            zombie:removeFromSquare()
        end
    end
end

So looks like your original solution just needs to be paired with zombie:removeFromSquare()

[storm scarab]

Yeah i just figured that out now lmao

Thats funny, But thanks regardless

[cerulean lintel]

has no one ever modded out the vision cone for a full 360° FOV?

[wet sandal]

I'd also be interested in this! A full removal of the vision mechanic would make for an interesting, more arcade-y, experience.

[obsidian portal]

for this, would i just copy over the base lua and add my own lines, or should I just do my own lines?

[chrome egret]

Isn't this controlled by Java?

[wet sandal]

You want to insert, not overwrite

[wet sandal]

If i'm reading this right, this code would insert a new item into the distribution pool for garbage bins with a weight of 3

local binItems = SuburbsDistributions.all.bin.items

table.insert(binItems, "NewItemName");
table.insert(binItems, 3);

Doing it like this makes your mod more compatible with other mods and far less likely to break if IS updates the distributions themselves.

[warm flume]

Hey my shit keeps buggin out I was wondering if there's someone who knows how to set up a multiplayer modded server. pls dm me

[hexed arrow]

Thanks man I got this script working, kills every zombie in sight of the player on button press haha

[obsidian portal]

Much appreciated

[hexed arrow]

how big is a cell? or rather what is it? sorry Im really new to lua

bigger than a square and smaller than a chunk?

[broken fulcrum]

300x300

each square in the ground = 1 tile

so 300 tiles x 300 tiles

[hexed arrow]

thank you, while were at it can you tell me how to scan a certain square radius for a certain object ? similiar to the function Notloc mentioned above but instead of cell a 6x6 square outwards from the player

I found some community api that should do this but I know too little to understand yet, I hardly grasp it as of yet

[broken fulcrum]

That's go beyond me, I'm as newbie as you to this haha, ask the guys at #mapping

if you are trying to make a map

[azure rivet]

Hello, I have a problem with a helmet, when I want to equip it, it does not remove the beard and hair and it does not work with the HatCategory, and if I put it "m_mask 0" the neck is deleted, any advice?

[undone crag]

😖

[inner blade]

Would there be a way to add decapitations/dismemberment?

[hexed arrow]

anyone know why this doesnt work? player:PlayAnim("clap02");

or does it just get overwritten by another animation the milisecond it works?

it doesnt give me an error but no animation plays

but the player:playSound("bird1"); works

[hexed arrow]

the only way I could think in my very basic understanding is changing the outfit of the zombie model and reloading it via script

[hexed arrow]

with the functions dressInNamedOutfit(string) or setClothingItem_Feet(InventoryItem ClothingItem_Feet) etc. in conjunction with reloadOutfit()

and the OnHit event

thats how I would do in rn lol

[inner blade]

I guess, but I mean like it edits the actual player model and it like can only occur if you're using a bladed weapon. Like how clothing can only be ripped via guns and blades.

[hexed arrow]

sure it would work the Onhit event has a handweapon variable

so if it is a bladed weapon it can only cut and if it were a blunt weapon it changes to a different amputed limb model

you can also access the bodypartdamage variables

[inner blade]

Maybe I'm thinking to hard about it since I also want it to function like if a headwear were to fall off, but with limbs.

[hexed arrow]

I mean this could work... maybe add the limb model 2 times, one as a replacement for the body and with masks hiding arms and legs and another as an item that defines as headwear and can fall off. We can also use the bodyTexture function for it to be white and black depending on skin color

I mean we could also spawn the limb at the same location as the zombie

[inner blade]

Either or, I'm not the smartest with the coding part but I can do models.

[hexed arrow]

im not good at either one xD

[inner blade]

[hexed arrow]

[worldly olive]

Hello!!
Was somebody able to add an OnEat parameter to an item using the new ScriptManager?

I tried this:

local antidepressants = ScriptManager.instance:getItem("Base.PillsAntiDep");
if antidepressants then
antidepressants:DoParam("OnEat = OnEat_Antidepressants");
print("Added property");
end

And I can see that the print happens so I that ran.

Then I have this:

function OnEat_Antidepressants(food, character)
print("Took antidepressants");
end

But that second print never happens. Does somebody knows what should I do to make that works? 🤔

[willow estuary]

Antidepressants are Drainable/"DrainableComboItem" type/category items and not Food type/category items; the OnEat parameter should only work for Food type/category items.

If you want to evaluate when antidepressants are consumed I'd suggest trying to slice a check into the ISTakePillAction timed action?

[worldly olive]

Hmmm, good point. That makes sense.
Will look at that.
Thanks!!

[queen leaf]

Is there a mod that lets you change the icons/names of various containers? It may make sorting/fetching items easier if I can tell at a glance if this is the Bag Box or the Gun Box

Like, if you paint a crate blue, could the crate icon somehow become blue as well?

[lunar robin]

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you've got your own items, just add the lines to the files, not touching the vanilla ones. If your idea is to change the vanilla loot distribution then go ahead and edit the corresponding files

[lunar robin]

Is there any quick way to run a scripted scheduled command serverside? I'm not familiar with Lua, but, umm:

while (true)
{
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 0 -radius 300");
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 1 -radius 300");
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 2 -radius 300");
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 3 -radius 300");
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 4 -radius 300");
  Console.Write("/removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 5 -radius 300");
  sleep 600;
}

[gaunt pendant]

Well how do u run the server? May be able to write it to the processes stdin to run it 🤷

[lunar robin]

You are right, dumb question. 😄

I was thinking of it as from a Lua perspective

Forgot about bash

[gaunt pendant]

Screen makes that rly easy, used to do that on minecraft server via screen -X stuff yourcomnand

But I'm sure there is also ways with "vanilla bash" to redirect to a processes stdin

[lunar robin]

Simple bash loop

while true; do
    {
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 0 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 1 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 2 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 3 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 4 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 5 -radius 300'
        echo 'removezombies -x 300 -y 300 -z 6 -radius 300'
        sleep 10s
    }
done

Anyone know why zombie:reanimateNow() doesnt work in this context but things like setHealth(0); do?

[bronze mulch]

update

i fucking lost the thing that i made

xD

[storm scarab]

happens to the best of us

[storm scarab]

Hey unrelated, but you seem to know about setting zombie clothing, am I doing something wrong?

    zombie:setClothingItem_Head(nil)
    zombie:reloadOutfit()

[bronze mulch]

update

i fixed it

turns out im really good and deleting shit while sippin on rum

[storm scarab]

Im basically attempting to remove anything on the head to stop them from dropping anything

[hexed arrow]

I made it work for the player in a very bad way getPlayer():getInventory():AddItem("Hat_Army") -> getPlayer():setClothingItem_Head(getPlayer():getInventory():getItemFromType("Hat_Army"));

for zombies this doesnt seem to work I cant figure it yet

[storm scarab]

Do you know how to clear hats for example? been unable to do it

Or atleast stop them from dropping hats

Whatever i've tried nothing seems to work, I've tried to clear their hat and nothing works

i've tried clearing their inv and that doesnt work neither

Starting to drive me insane

[hexed arrow]

same man

exactly the same

for players it works

ive been messing with it for 2 hours now haha
