Hello everyone (sorry for my bad english is not a native language).
I have a little question regarding the mods a week ago and I have not been able to find the solution, could you help me x.x?
more or less the summary: My partner and I started a world in PZ, it is not a dedicated server (I am the host), this new world has several mods installed (The world and the mods were configured in v 41.68), it happens about what; We recently decided that we want the world to last as long as possible, but I am aware that maybe at a certain point; either due to incompatibility between game versions or mod versions, it can get corrupted.
So I've been searching for days to find a way to disable PZ steam updates, start the game without steam, and create a backup of my workshop items (just in case one gets updated). to a future version after 41.68, and my world is still on that version).
The problem I have is in the last point, I made a backup copy of my workshop articles, and I unsubscribed from them from steam, but when I "manually" place the files back in the corresponding folder, the mods don't recognize me, they know how could i make it work?

another reason to hate lua

quasi geode
#

# only works for tables that use number index keys, and only counts the highest index

#

pz's kahlua is based off 5.1, so use that manual instead of the 5.3

#

its also missing a few modules, io.*, os.*, and math.random are invalid for pz

#

(was unaware next didnt work though, so there maybe a few others i havent listed)

cinder vault
#

ah alright, that's good to know. Thanks!

quasi geode
#

oh math.randomseed as well

wet sandal
#

Any other insane gotchas in lua?

quasi geode
#

probably a few, depending on how well you understand tables lol. the fact they can be a sorted list/array, unsorted list/associative array, and a pesudo-object.. including all 3 at the same time probably counts as a gotcha lol

#

also depends on how far you want to go down the metatable hole, and when you start applying them to sorted lists etc.

gaunt pendant
quasi geode
#

indexing starting at 1, thats defiantly a 'insane gotcha' (though a well known one)

wet sandal
#

no continue is a good one

#

1 index, yea

quasi geode
#

no continue is insane, theres a work around though

gaunt pendant
#

And yes, that ^
Tables being lists and dicts at the samd time is a pain

quasi geode
#

as long as you dont need break at the same time lol

wet sandal
#

tables never give me too much trouble because i've always viewed them as dictionaries

quasi geode
# 
for key, value in pairs(someTable) do repeat
   if (condition) then break end -- break now functions as continue
until true end
wet sandal
#

oh, it breaks the repeat?

quasi geode
#

ya

wet sandal
#

neat

quasi geode
#

the repeat stops after the first iteration anyways with the until true

gaunt pendant
#

Yea but that is just excessive markup 😩

quasi geode
#

dont blame me, blame lua lol

gaunt pendant
#

For a thing that should be so simple

wet sandal
#

I just code loops to not need continue, but next time i forget and get an error, I'm using this

gaunt pendant
#

I'm sure they have their reasons, but it's one of those annoyances I have with it

quasi geode
#

idk why they didnt add a continue, its bizarre

wet sandal
#

I think i vaguely remember a Prof explaining why in University. They said something along the lines of it being because of the regular language lua uses making it impossible to implement in the parser.

#

Maybe not, googling seems to imply they just didnt wnat to add it

quasi geode
#

not wanting it seems more likely.. its meant to be minimal language without a pile of bells and whistles

wet sandal
#

2nd answer

gaunt pendant
#

Yet we have for, while, repeat .. until 🤣

quasi geode
# 
Continue, on the other hand, is a real feature. (It even changes the
syntax and the lexical.)  Our main concern with "continue" is that there
are several other control structures that (in our view) are more or
less as important as "continue" and may even replace it. (E.g., break
with labels [as in Java] or even a more generic goto.) "continue" does
not seem more special than other control-structure mechanisms, except
that it is present in more languages. (Perl actually has two "continue"
statements, "next" and "redo". Both are useful.)
#

no issue, they just didnt want to XD

gaunt pendant
#

So basically: yup it's important. We won't add it because fuck u. 😂

wet sandal
#

If you read the proceeding paragraph:

At the time we "added" the local scope for repeat it really seemed
innocent. And it was not really an "added" "feature", we just changed a
scope rule. Unless the fact that it is different from other languages,
it should be neither simpler nor more complex than the old rule.

and note

Continue, on the other hand, is a real feature. (It even changes the
syntax and the lexical.)```

Question: in VehicleZoneDefinition.lua it says that for spawnChance, "the total for a zone should always be 100" -- what happens when I add modded cars (e.g. Filibuster Rhyme's) and that value increases?

quasi geode
bitter nymph
#

Gotcha, that's what I thought but I wanted to confirm. I saw a patchnote that also said that the value was changed from an int to a float, so that means I could put, say, 0.5 for a vehicle's spawnChance to make it rarer, right?

quasi geode
#

sure, that patchnote specifically has to do with the original normalization function was converting the numbers to ints instead of floats (causing mutlitple issues), but yes, you can use a low float for extreme rares

ok, so. Coding question:
How does one "reload", or "update" a vehicle in the world, using lua?

sharp crystal
#

Hello. How to make a very simple recipe where:

#

I can clean the dirty rag, bandage etc. with water and soap / Cleaning Liquid pls?

#

recipe Clean Rag
{
RippedSheetsDirty,
Water,
** Soap/CleaningLiquid **

    Result:RippedSheets,
    Time:40.0,
    Category:Health,
    OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.NotTaintedWater,
}
#

This is what I did but this isn´t working..I mean...I can clean rags without soap or Cleaning Liquid

#

Within the context menu when next to the sink or any other source of water

fiery pecan
#

did you copy from vanilla?

sharp crystal
#

yes

fiery pecan
#

hmmm

#

wait

#

did you put a comma after soap/cleaningliquid?

#

it might be skipping that line due to a lack of a comma...

sharp crystal
#

yes

#

in the crafting window....there is the option with cleaning rags with water AND soap ONLY

fiery pecan
#

ah. Sorry I'm a bit daft

sharp crystal
#

but I need to apply this also to the context menu when you stand next to the water source and can right click it and choose CLEAN RAG

fiery pecan
#

oh, the context menu?

#

one sec

sharp crystal
#

yes

fiery pecan
#

ok, so

#

just a hunch

#

but how much water units does it ask for as it is now?

sharp crystal
#

1

fiery pecan
#

ah

#

oh!

sharp crystal
fiery pecan
#

yes, but I might be VERY wrong here.. I'm pretty sure the context menu's applied automatically?

sharp crystal
#

It says it needs Water (1 unit) and soap. But it cleans the rag anyway...

#

without any soap

fiery pecan
#

oh, yes

#

that's normal

#

the soap just speeds it up

sharp crystal
#

the crafting menu is OK

fiery pecan
#

yes, yes

sharp crystal
#

how to disable the cleaning within the context menu WITHOUT any soap

#

?

fiery pecan
#

well

#

idk the answer

sharp crystal
#

😄 OK

chrome egret
#

Essentially you will have to look for that vanilla code and create a new version which prevents populating that option if soap isn't present

sharp crystal
#

The question is where to look for it?

chrome egret
#

You will be much better off opening the lua dir (from within your PZ install\scripts\media dir) in an editor/IDE and learning to search these things for yourself

Hi, Where can I see Traits in the game files?

bitter nymph
#

another VehicleZoneDistribution question: I see lots of mods use "trafficjamw" for traffic jam spawns, sometimes other directions, but the base lua has a "trafficjamVehicles" matrix that it distributes to all 4 directions. Does this mean that modded vehicles will only spawn in the specific direction they've been added to the distribution (i.e., cars in only trafficjamw will only spawn in west-facing traffic events) ?

#

I mean there is one but it's not something you need to do. Not part of guide.

dapper vector
#

I know that you can make multiple items from making only one recipe, but the mate should be unlimited to drink, as long as you have water in the thermos.

#

Thats why I decided to see if I can make a new type based on Food, with this little things I have to consider

weary forge
#

you could just make the recipe and define the mate as "keep mate" that way its not used up. and tedious is relative you could make a "bigger" serving to drink (like -100 water) that way you could drink it partial

#

or make the mate a drainable item with like 100 uses (since even mate is not endless ;)) and use "mate=1" for the recipe

dapper vector
#

I like what you suggest, but after some uses the mate should turn into a version with almost no flavor, which changes its nutritional value and such, while its still drinkable (as long as you have water)

weary forge
#

at some point it is basically just water with maybe some color 😄

native shore
# hard crypt Hey all. I was thinking of trying my hand at modding pz. I read that all the doc...

So far, this is what I've found:

  • Lua as a language is well-documented... but for the Lua applicable to the game, you kind of have to rely on the media\lua folder in the game directory
  • There are javadocs for the game, but from what I understand they are superseded by the game's files (which makes sense, if you think about it), and while many working mods make calls to Java functions, this is apparently no longer in vogue? Not 100% clear on this point, but if it works, don't fix it 😄
  • Surprisingly (or not?), many of the old guides still have many nuggets of good info, but there is some sifting you have to do on your own

The rest is trial and error.

IntelliJ IDEA doesn't seem to have any knowledge of it, despite picking up the rest of the Lua library I added to the Project Structure

e.g., I can do this:

with no problems, but if I try
local myCoolPlayer = IsoPlayer:derive("myCoolPlayer")
or anything like it, I get nothing

What's the Emmy in EmmyLua or what's EmmyLua?

native shore

dunno where "Emmy" comes from, but EmmyLua is a doc comment framework, kind of like JSDoc or XML doc comments in .NET languages

it's handy for IntelliSense-type stuff, auto-completion, etc.

Does it tell you if you put a string as an argument that was meant to be a number, and things like that?

native shore

It does! It's like this:

--- Transforms a value in [0, 100] to one in [0, 1].
---@param value number the value to transform
---@return number the fractional value
function utils.fractionalValue(value)
  return scaleValueToRange(value, 0, 100)

I might have missed the context, what script are you reloading?

a vehicle script

And that's because you're dynamically altering its content?

GetVehicle:setScriptName(arg); GetVehicle is the vehicle in question, arg is the new script name

fiery pecan

#

Maybe need send command to server, on server run ScriptReloaded for vehicle, and then run it on client side

GetVehicle:scriptReloaded(); "Updates" the vehicle, so the change can be seen on the client, but it reverts the scriptname change.

I've been using it for a while now on my server. My players enjoy it and I think its fair. But sometimes players will be minding their own business in their base and a PvE player will come and snatch loot from people and theyll generally not be able to enable PvP.

Guess like a pvp zone around bases

anyone know how to transfer singleplayer mod presets to a server preset with the mod manager mods? its really annoying that the presets dont carry over

fallow bridge
#

At least I think that’s it’s name

#

It’s a mod

#

Only way to use presets for MP

steel jackal
#

i have the server version but the presets dont transfer over. so if i make a sp preset i cant then select that preset from the server version

fallow bridge
#

No

#

You gotta make a new preset

#

They are technically two different mods so they can’t carry over each other

steel jackal
#

yeah i know i was asking if there was a way, maybe a setting i wasnt seeing that would allow me to do that.

fallow bridge
#

No

#

There isn’t

#

But it beats the alternative

steel jackal
#

ok its annoying but better than it was without the two mods

fallow bridge
#

It’s only a minute or effort making a mp preset

#

While without it you’d need at least 3 minutes each time you wanna make a new server with different mods.

steel jackal
#

the issue im finding is how some mp mods requre to be active in the sp mod screen and it gets confusing what i ned to leave on for mp and what i dont want to run in sp. so i just wanted to have a single preset to swap to and from

fallow bridge
#

PZ servers are essentially GMOD

#

Where any mod the servers use is automatically set up

steel jackal
#

mods like horde night wont show up if theyre only active in the server version. needs to be added in the main screen as well

fallow bridge
#

Anything that’s enabled in the server gets enabled on the Client

fallow bridge
#

Then again I don’t think horde night was designed for MP

#

I haven’t ran a server in a hot minute

#

But if it does require the client to have it enabled, just enable it on your normal mods tab the set it up in the server

#

Should be perfectly fine

steel jackal
#

i think the helicopter mod is the same way, become desensitized and they knew are a few more off the top of my head. i dont get settings for them unless they are activated in the sp section as well

fallow bridge
#

Huh

#

Well then just have you and all your buddies install the mods and enable them on your default mods section

steel jackal
#

i mena it works wor them not having to add it im just saying for me the host i need it added to my sp mods. but my issue with that is swapping between sp and server gameplay is a pain to keep track of what mods i have installed cause for my server i need mods active i dont want in my sp game and im having to swap them off all the time and it gets confusing. and im always finding new mods and adding them so having just one set list isnt really happening

fallow bridge
#

Yeah I advise not having a clusterfuck amount of mods for your MP

#

I have a set amount of specific mods for my server whenever I make it that’s just going to spice it up a bit more

steel jackal
#

eh if i cant mod the game the way i want then i lose interest in playing. pretty much every mod i have installed is a must have or i just dont wanna play

fallow bridge
#

But, what if it’s not how your buddies wanna play?

#

When your playing in MP you’ve gotta make sacrifices

steel jackal
#

theyre alot less picky than me. but believe me sacrifices have been made

#

i want extremely rare loot, no brittas, and hardcore cryo winter and none of that is happening

#

They wanted brita’s?

#

Yeesh

#

Get new friends SadBuddy

#

(J)

steel jackal
#

i mean i lik ethe content of brittas but its just a shit show sometimes

fallow bridge
#

But yeah, it sounds like you’ll probably just have to suck it up, as you can’t port over, or set up a dedicated mod list and never change it

#

Otherwise your kinda shooting yourself in the foot

#

You also shouldn’t really be adding mods to ongoing saves anyways

steel jackal
#

oh i mean yeah ill deal with it was just hoping there was a secret setting or some shit that i was missing.

# quasi geode cant access object fields that way. you'd need to use the getter/setter methods ...

Hrm, i'm doing something wrong then. I tried checking if they were instanceof(item, "HandWeapon") but yielded nothing.
I'm trying to script functions that parse all available items for Arsenal's guns, magazines and melee weapons so that it can be placed into recipes without manually crawling through all the files and getting ids.

function Recipe.GetItemTypes.ArsenalGun(scriptItems)
    local allItems = getScriptManager():getAllItems()
        for i=0,allItems:size() - 1 do
            local item = allItems:get(i)
            if item:getModID() == "Arsenal(26)GunFighter" and instanceof(item, "HandWeapon") then
                if item:getSubCategory() == "Firearm" then scriptItems:add(item) end
            end
        end
end

function Recipe.GetItemTypes.ArsenalGunMagazine(scriptItems)
    local allItems = getScriptManager():getAllItems()
        for i=0,allItems:size() - 1 do
            local item = allItems:get(i)
            if item:getModID() == "Arsenal(26)GunFighter" and item:getDisplayCategory() == "GunMag" then
                scriptItems:add(item)
            end
        end
end
# 
    {
        [Recipe.GetItemTypes.ArsenalGunMagazine],
        keep MetalWorkbench,
                ...
    }
    
    recipe Disassemble Arsenal Gun
    {
        
        [Recipe.GetItemTypes.ArsenalGun],
        keep MetalWorkbench,
                ...
    }```
Like so.
small hatch
#

Ah, I guess I got it. Feels roundabout but:

function Recipe.GetItemTypes.ArsenalGun(scriptItems)
    local allItems = getScriptManager():getAllItems()
        for i=0,allItems:size() - 1 do
            local item = allItems:get(i)
            if item:getModID() == "Arsenal(26)GunFighter" then
                local itemInst = instanceItem(item)
                if instanceof(itemInst, "HandWeapon") and itemInst:getSubCategory() == "Firearm" then 
                    scriptItems:add(item) 
                end
            end
        end
end
quasi geode
#

oh, my bad, didnt full read before haha, missed the part you were checking script Item class, not InventoryItem.. thus the instanceof HandWeapon not being needed, should be item:getType() == Item.Type.Weaponi believe

#

though probably not needed to check the type at all really, since all script Items should support :getSubCategory() (defaults to a empty string for non-weapons)

#

if item:getModID() == "Arsenal(26)GunFighter" and item:getSubCategory() == "Firearm" then should be sufficient

hey guys, how would I go about adding a tooltip to an item?
I'm pretty new to modding and right now I'm learning from what other mods do and what I've figured out so far is this

  1. I write something like this Tooltip = Tooltip_TestItem, inside the item definition
  2. Inside shared/Translate/EN/Tooltip_EN.txt (for the english version) I define a table called Tooltip_EN and inside of it I add Tooltip_TestItem = "my tooltip"
    Some questions I have:
  3. Does the file need to be named Tooltip_EN.txt or can it be anything I want?
  4. Does the file get overwritten by other mods?
  5. Similarly does the table have to be named Tooltip_EN and will it get overwritten by other mods if it's the same?
  6. Assuming someone else in his mod also named his key Tooltip_TestItem is it going to overwrite mine?
  7. is the Tooltip_ prefix required for each key?

Sorry for the long list of questions, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this so my mod doesn't break anything in other mods.

winter bolt
# cinder vault hey guys, how would I go about adding a tooltip to an item? I'm pretty new to mo...

I think it has to be called Tooltip_EN.txt but I'm not super sure. The table does need to be called that though.
Mods will just insert their own stuff into the translation tables so it won't replace anything that isnt a key with the same name. You can prevent conflicts by putting your item in a module called something other than "Base" so you'd do "Tooltip_TestModule.TestItem" instead.
The prefix is required

cinder vault
#

ah thanks! that answers my questions.
So I guess what's happening is the Tooltip_ prefix is telling the game to look inside the Tooltip_EN table for my Tooltip_TestItem key
I've seen tooltips in other mods being defined inside the UI_EN table and they do Tooltip = UI_TestItem which I guess would be another way to do it

Hi everyone.
I am currently working on a translation for some mods and wanted to customize tooltips to make a few things more clear.

What I noticed is, that <br> doesnt seem to always work to create a break rule in the ingame tooltips? Is there a limitation of the number of br's or rule to keep an eye out for when creating longer tooltips in Zomboid?
And how can I make some letters in the "positive green" or "negative red" colors of zomboid? To give the reader a quicker indication of whats good and bad about this particular item.

I'm trying to add a custom option to the context menu for an item I made and I figured the best way is to use either the OnPreFillInventoryObjectContextMenu event or the OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu event. (correct me if I'm wrong)
However I have trouble understanding one thing, those events have an items parameter but they're not the actual items(I think) even though it works since I see another mod doing this items = ISInventoryPane.getActualItems(items) and I'm trying to figure out why that is or if it's necessary.

#

I don't see why not. in the reddit thread that was posted in someone sai that a brass knuckle mod uses it.

#

can't confirm tho

tepid crown
#

it doesnt

#

it uses an invisible hammer type thing

hot patrol
#

ah

#

well Other than the fact that it isn't being used officially I can't see why someone couldn't use it for another weapon.

#

I imagine the only reason it isn't already in the game is because the devs would want to add proper repercussions to fighting with your bare hands like getting scratches or fractures and it is too much work atm to put people to work on.

I have a scripting question..
If I want to change something about an item, let's say a good old "Book"
Do I have to put in everything about the item, or just the bits I'm adding or changing about it?
My gut says I need to put in the whole thing, but I just want to be sure.

#

Like, if I wanted to change "UnhappyChange" to -50, I'd have to put in everything, and not just

{
UnhappyChange = -50
}```

How would I go about adding in occupation-specific foraging bonuses? Or know of an occupation mod that does already include the bonuses to foraging? So I can look at how they coded it. In the midst of creating a new occupation for learning purposes.

In the console.txt file I get the following warnings when loading my mod:

WARN : Script      , 1652597084550> ModelScript.checkTexture> no such texture "WorldItems\HTFACNotesPatient" for HTFAC.HTFACNotesPatient
WARN : Script      , 1652597084550> ModelScript.checkMesh> no such mesh "WorldItems\HTFACLiterature" for HTFAC.HTFACLiteratureCadavers

WARN : Script      , 1652597084550> ModelScript.checkTexture> no such texture "WorldItems\HTFACFileGeneric" for HTFAC.HTFACFileGeneric```
this happens for every item in my mod. The items have textures and meshes and load up fine when I'm playtesting. How do I get rid of this warning or can I just ignore it?
#

I have my mod structure such that the items script and model scripts are in separate txt files. Could that be the reason?

cinder vault
#

is there a way to check if the game is paused or event that happens when the game gets paused/unpaused?

tame mulch

#

thanks!

crimson spindle
#

what do you mean?

#

the mesh names need to be lowercase? This is what my model script looks like:

    {
        mesh = WorldItems\HTFACSheetPaper,
        texture = WorldItems\HTFACNotesPatient,
        scale = 0.75,
    }```
#

here is the item:

    {
        DisplayName = HTFACNotesPatient,
        Icon = HTFACNotesPatient,
        WorldStaticModel = HTFAC.HTFACNotesPatient,
        Tooltip = Tooltip_HTFACNotesPatient,
        DisplayCategory = Literature,
        Weight = 0.05,
    }```
#

everything else follows this general format

@drifting stump Thanks, guess I need to read up on how to Lua if I want to make this thing I'm thinking of, but doing it through Lua makes sense if it lets you just add/remove things from items

spare hinge
#

Howdy, I just wanna ask if I understood something right

#

getGameTime():getMultiplier() gives back just the speed at which the game is currently playing, i.e. 1.0 for normal speed and higher if the game is running faster

#

so if I wanted to get the time that passes in one tick, do I divide by 60?

pulsar charm
spare hinge
#

ahh good call

#

the framerate is locked by a constant however though right?

pulsar charm
spare hinge
#

getFrameRate seems to just fall back onto getLockFPS

#

s_uncappedFPS looks entirely unused

#

no idea whats going on here tbh

pulsar charm
#

getAverageFPS might be your bet then
i dont have the java files so i didn't know it existed

spare hinge
#

ill sick with getLockFPS for now

#

that seems to actually drive logic

cinder vault
#

on this note ^ does the OnTick event run at a constant rate or is it dependant on frame rate? if it's dependent on framerate then it would be the same as OnRenderTick right?

spare hinge
#

i wouldnt bet on it

#

it could just be very inconsistent language used

#

if logic tick and render tick were the same, the game would slow down every time you had fps hitches

pulsar charm
#

ticks should not be tied to framerate because that would mean someone playing on 30fps played twice as slow as someone on 60fps

spare hinge
#

I think FPS is used interchangably here for tickrate

undone crag
#

There is getGameTime():getMultiplier()

tame mulch
crimson spindle
#

does the mesh name need to be lowercase in the model file? or the actual mesh file in the directory? I'm looking at how the vanilla items are set up and they don't seem to use lowercase for their meshes or in the script so I guess that's what's tripping me up

#

they are all working so i know its not a huge deal was just curious what was causing the warning

@tame mulch I found the problem! It was because i used backstrokes in the model script instead of strokes
This throws errors:

texture = WorldItems\HTFACNotesPatient,```
This does not:
```mesh = WorldItems/HTFACSheetPaper,
texture = WorldItems/HTFACNotesPatient,```
#

thank you again for your help! Use / not \ 🙂

cinder vault
#

I just did some tests, OnTick runs once every frame so if you're playing at 60 fps it's going to run 60 times etc @pulsar charm @spare hinge
same thing happens with OnRenderTick

#

so it's tied to framerate

hey can anyone do a little project for me and my server. you'd basically be working on a existing mod that was ravamped from a older mod, and id like for it to be revamped again haha. you'd be compensated for your time 🙂 i dont think it would be difficult just something i need adjusted

cinder vault
#

@spare hinge just pinging you because you had a similar problem with me and I figured it out. To get the time that passes in one "tick" with the same end result for any fps you can do one of the 3

getGameTime():getRealworldSecondsSinceLastUpdate()
getGameTime():getMultipliedSecondsSinceLastUpdate()
getGameTime():getGameWorldSecondsSinceLastUpdate()

the last two automatically handle different game speeds, however keep in mind that if the game is paused these 3 will still return as if the game speed was set to 1, not 0

hell yea

Hi, is there a way how to disconnect a player using server side lua script? I didn't find anything on the internets.

pseudo lake
#

Could you not just kick them?

#

😄

charred dune
#

@pseudo lake Sure I can, but we would like to have a script which will automatically disconnects all players when less then X players are online.

pseudo lake
#

you could do it with a bash script, wouldn't even need a mod

#

run the players command to check how many players are currently connected, and then kick them based on the parms u set

#

assuming running under linux

charred dune
#

We can't run bash scripts unfortunately 😦

pseudo lake
#

You COULD do it with RCON, but I found mixed results using that

charred dune
#

On client lua I can disconnect player, but cannot figure it out in server lue script

#

Probably I can stick with client mod then, since we are a small group.

pseudo lake
#

There is an event OnDisconnect

#

You might be able to hook into that. OnDisconnect if players < playersRequired Do some shit

#

I dunno how accurate this source is tho 😄

charred dune
#

Right now I just listening for event EveryTenMinutes, but will use something like OnDisconnect in the end

pseudo lake
#

OnDisconnect would make more sense, because then your code doesn't need to run in the background.. It'll evaluate every time a player disconnects

charred dune
#

Sure, is there something like timeout function which will run provided fn after some time?

#

If not I am still stuck with EveryX events anyway

Is there references behind the code for traits already in the game that I can draw on for adding in new custom traits to an occupation? Not too advanced with lua, and first time modding this game. For example, wanting to do a lesser version of organized. And was trying to find the code for how that trait works.

pulsar rock
#

I guess it's not technically modding. But for any server owners out there; How much interest is there in a Discord bot for PZ server management?

I've made one for our own server, but it's perfectly capable of being reused for other servers.

It simply uses rcon to fetch info / run commands remotely, and has some neat features like nickname matching, logging & graphing player counts / calculating prime time, etc...

true jolt
#

there is a depressing lack of l4d mods

#

part of me just wants to learn how to make them myself

pseudo lake
#

@pulsar rock could have been my shotty code, but I found if I created a lot of sessions to rcon, it would cause issues (this was maybe a couple months ago when MP released). If you're running it on a linux vm, use a screen session and pass directly to the screen session would be my only suggestion

Rather than grabbing stuff from the screen session

runic bear
#

Yeah I like the idea of most of his stuff, but the whole "too cool to contact" bullshit is infuriating

And the fact he refuses to say what's actually in half his mods, or how it works

#

Like if you don't want to ruin "the surprise" for yourself, don't read the description. Or spoiler it.

I'm using Even Worse Searching and found Intel Documents and some other crap. Ended up having to mine his stupid mod to see what they were for, and guess what! They're for nothing at all.

@pseudo lake Not exactly. I am sorry, I shoulda' specified more. I already have a full occupation done from learning today thus far, fully works in-game, etc. But I was looking to expand upon it further by adding in occupation-specific traits. Closer to something like Desensitized, from Veterans. what I had in mind, was combining together Organized, Low Thirst and Light Eater. But lessening the value of each, so that Organized only gives a 110% value increase in inventory capacity rather than than 130% increase. Low Thirst 15% and Light eater 15%. So I can't use the traits in the game already. But I wanted to see how the traits in the game were implemented, so that I could perhaps re-work them out in my own traits with different values.

pseudo lake
#

I don't know if they're exposed in lua

wintry finch
#

They might not be. I'm at a loss for going further with it right now though. lol.

How does the game identify ledges that can be sheetroped?

umbral heron

wintry finch

@pseudo lake I did find a modded occupation that has a custom trait touches resilience akin Thick Skinned/Prone to Illness. Looking through his lua files, nothing stood out that would immediately help for what I am looking for. Though I just started today with this stuff. Not entirely sure if where he found those values would be in the same place or not but I did write him a comment. Nothing back yet.

Hey, I'm trying to fix a mod for myself, after some update I get errors 'attempted index: of non-table: null', does this mean that parameter type I'm using was changed? The line was _item:getSprite():getName() .If someone could help me understand where to dig that would mean a lot, thank you.

tame mulch
heavy turret
#

if I removed the getSprite it was throwing errors at getName, it's related to radios

tame mulch
#

I mean need check _item:getSprite() ~= nil then ...

heavy turret
#

Is there anyway I can check what changes were made to a specific lua file?(from indiestone)

tame mulch
#

What changes?

#

You can compare files from build 68 and 71 for example by winmerge

heavy turret
#

uhu, so I need to download previous versions right? The changes are not documented anywhere?

tame mulch
#

In posts about pathes you can check main changes, but not all lua changes

heavy turret
#

so I originally had _item parameter that comes from ISRadioWindow.activate(pl, obj, true) in the ISWorldObjectContextMenu.lua, can it be that before the update it originally passed item, but now it passes IsoRadio and therefore I cannot access these methods mentioned above?

does PZ have any tools that let you profile the game as it's running to figure out where/why stutters or lag are occurring?

hard crypt

#

are you referring to -debug ?

hard crypt
#

yee

calm depot
#

that's not what I'm asking about

hard crypt
#

gotcha. like I said im new so im not sure what all you can and cant do with that yet.

#

it looked pretty extensive tho

calm depot
#

there's a debug option I turned on that will write to the debug log if any lua events take too long, but unfortunately, that does not complain about anything

#

there is also an option that writes a bunch of profiling data in the form of CSV files, but judging by its format, it's clearly intended to be fed into some external tool, which I don't think gets shipped with the game

hard crypt
#

maybe theres something in the modding tools package? you probably checked that already tho :/ I dont think I can be any help to you sorry lol

calm depot

no, that's just the tiles and world editors

hard crypt

gotcha. I will have to start digging into all that soon

calm depot
#

ah, I just realised, I can run VisualVM on the game

hard crypt

so far all I did was add a modified version of an existing item, just getting a feel for the game

calm depot

Did they make a change in the unstable version of PZ so that it doesn't load translation strings on the server?

runic bear
#

How could I get the number of items inside a container? Or if there are any items at all? I really just need a yes/no if it contains something

#

Would it be if container:getItemCount() > 0 then ?

#

container.getItemCount() > 0 crashes too lol, I'm pretty confused over when to use : over . but that's another issue

#

if container:getInventory():getNumItems("name") > 0 then am I on the right track here?

calm depot
#

table:function(arg1, arg2) is just a convenience that saves you from doing table.function(table, arg1, arg2)

#

if you don't care how many items there are, use isEmpty()

#

if you do need to know exactly how many, use getItems():size()

@cunning canyon are you still maintaining Save Our Station?

fast galleon
calm depot
#

seems fine to me

#

couple of Lua related things though:

  1. and square is unnecessary, it is impossible for it to evaluate to false
#
  1. you don't really need squares since it's just used for iteration, it can be reduced to ipairs({a, b, c})
#

if you're wondering about point 1: a Lua table cannot have keys with nil values

fast galleon
calm depot
#

however, this then might create a problem for you, consider {"stuff", nil, "morestuff"}

#

if you iterate using ipairs() it will only go as far as "stuff"

fast galleon
#

making it from 1 to 3 again

calm depot
#

or, if the order you process them in doesn't matter, just use pairs() instead

fast galleon
#

also good :)

just to clarify, {x, nil, y} results in a table with only [1] and [3] - pairs() will serve up 1 and 3, 2 simply doesn't exist so you still don't need the and square check.

Is there any good mods for admins

3D world items are depreciated in 41.71. Is there a way to draw models apart from using vehicles (ps and apart from using a 2D image)?

is there a proper way to catch java exceptions to handle them in the lua. I have some code that occasionally will do an attepted index of an non-table, and in that case I would want it to just skip the rest of the function with a return, but I can't figure out how to catch java exceptions. im using pcall to catch lua exceptions, but it doesnt work on java exceptions.

oh.. in the lua.. my bad. no clue

#

sorry about that if I could learn to read lol

@shadow geyser no, because you would have to write Java code to catch them and pass back into the lua state

Also, deprecated whaaaaat?

In that case I should have specified that I meant rendering the models during the game like with vehicles and people and items, which can let you show them at different angles and intersect with other models.

How are they going to deprecate it

#

If I drop an item, I get a 3d model

It generates a 2D image from the model, not taking the World attachment into account.

The game does?

Then I don't understand what the issue is
