hi! since one of the more recent updates, it seems to be not possible anymore to skip the intro showing "this is how you died" when starting a new game. is there a way to make intro-skipping possible again? costs a lot of time when playtesting a mod in the current state...

I just posted this question in the other channel, but I hope nobody minds if I ask it here as well:

I've got oodles of mods installed and I'm trying to track down my last, dead character to loot her valuable corpse. But I can't interact with her -- she's lying on the ground, hissing, but I can't hit her or loot her or land any killing blows on her. I was able to hit some invisible hitbox above her for awhile, then the killing Squelch sound came and I couldn't interact with her at all. Any suggestions?

# inner blade Could always get the cheat engine mod so you can just load up a save, spawn in m...

thanks for suggestion. already tested zombie damage and it seems to work as long as it is about zeds. but not sure whether there might be other things which could lower the condition of a clothing item. for example, the zomboid wiki says that some clothing items have a "condition degradation rate". see here for shoes: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Shoes. but not sure if this is up-to-date and I don't know what this really means...

inner blade
#

Probably not, but I'm probably not gonna be much help with that since I haven't touched clothing yet.

#

Also I'm pretty sure the condition rate is like when an item gets dirty the more dirt is shown.

#

In that case it would be wet.

#

But I forgot what the negatives are for wet clothing.

thanks anyway! πŸ™‚

Any news about how close 41.72 unstable is?

shadow geyser

yeah I think what you want to do is to use the items modData, to save the variable in the item to be used later. I had initially misunderstood what you wanted. From what Im reading you want to take a half durability spear. Add a blade or something and it would act as a new item. Then if you take the blade off with another recipe, you get back the half durability spear. So if I was doing this, I would use a Oncreate lua function to modify add the values into the modData for the item, then a different Oncreate on the other recipe, that would read the modData, and apply the correct durability to the spear it gives back to you. so to set the a new value, lets call it "spear_dura" in the moddata use:

function recipe_save_dura(items, result, player)
olditem = items:get(1);
newitem = result:get(1)
newitem:getModData().spear_dura = olditem.getCondition();
end

then in the other oncreate where you are removing the blade:

function recipe_apply_dura(items, result, player)
olditem = items:get(1);
newitem = result:get(1)
newitem:setCondition() = olditem:getModData().spear_dura;
end

also this I just wrote this in discord, so there might be some syntax errors/missing stuff you will need to figure out to make it work in PZ. you probably can't just copy paste this, but it will show you the logics

#

also this saves it only into the client side. If you want it to work in MP, you would need to make modifications so that the moddata is either communicated to the server side, or the data is entirely on the server side of the item.

kindred dagger
#

Idk about MP, I mostly play solo

#

But by adding similar functions to the oncreate it should work maybe?

shadow geyser
#

so modData is saved client side, and recipes that have execute oncreates, will save things on clientside. you need to explicitly send commands to the server from the client, and something on the serverside to receive the commands to tell the server to modify the moddata. Then the oncreate would also need the same commands to the server get the info from the server to be able to get info back tot he client, so it can be used in the oncreate. This is if you want to have it working properly in multiplayer

kindred dagger
#

That sounds like a headache to do lol

shadow geyser
#

in SP you dont need to do all this stuff. it would technically work in MP, if you put in some code to handle nil cases, since other players wont be able to access the modData, because their client doesnt have that info. So you could make it "work" in MP, but it would be abusable. Like one player attaches a blade to an almost broken spear. Gives it to another player, and they remove the blade. Their client doesnt know what to put the durability to, so you have to just have some default value put in

kindred dagger
#

I have a failsafe for nil put in place for when the player loots a spear from a zombie for example

anyone know of an event that triggers right after ur character enters the game? trying to set my accesslevel command automatically after entering a hosted server, but OnGameStart does not trigger it since my character is not logged in yet.

or maybe not, maybe EveryTenMinutes fires for the first time when OnTick fires shruganimated

still, it's cool to know the ticks start when you click, handy info πŸ™‚

Hi all,
First time PZ modder, long-time coder. Please be gentle πŸ™‚
I've been tinkering in the LUA console with the stats part of the PAI leanring how the different stats work, which is interesting.
But some of the stats don't behave in an intuitive manner - changing them directly doesn't seem to have any impact to moodles, so clearly I am missing something.
Specifically:
setBoredom(), setFear(), setFitness(), setIdleboredom(), setMorale(), setPain(), setSanity(), setSickness()
If anyone can help me understand how any of these work I'd be very grateful!

native shore
hot patrol
#

We seem to have figured it out but your approach might be better. I don't really understand it tho.

#

not that this will likely be clear to anyone here but doing this seems to have fixed it ```1. Create a folder named "client" inside the "lua" folder.
2. Copy the "DakiArmor.lua" file from the original mod and paste it inside the "client" folder.
3. Rename the file to whatever you want: "DakiArmor.lua" > "EXAMPLE_DakiArmor.lua".
4. Enter the file, and change where it says:
local DakimakuraWeapons = require("DakimakuraList")
the name "DakimakuraList" to your dakimakura list file inside your "shared" folder inside the "lua" folder.
If it's also named "DakimakuraList.lua" change it too: "DakimakuraList.lua" > "EXAMPLE_DakimakuraList.lua", and write the name of the file "YOUR-FILE-HERE": local DakimakuraWeapons = require("YOUR-FILE-HERE") - without the ".lua".
5. If your "DakimakuraOutfitDefinitions.lua" is also named like this, change it.
6. Open the file from before, and where you can read:
AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack = {
change the "DakimakuraInBack" word to something else like: "DakimakuraInBack123". Once you change it there you also need to change it where it says:
AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack, (at the bottom of the file)
IMPORTANT: Name it the same as before!
7. Remember to leave the chance at 1!

AttachedWeaponDefinitions.attachedWeaponCustomOutfit.Neckbeard = {
chance = 1;
weapons = {
AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack1,
},
}
----------------------```

#

maybe overly complicated maybe not

#

no clue

#

coding is foreign to me

native shore
hot patrol
#

ironically I want to do the opposite

#

This is how bad I am

native shore
#

end of 4:

local DakimakuraWeapons = require("YOUR-FILE-HERE") - without the ".lua"
you do that, except make it just one file with a generic name

#

then they just add their stuff to it

#

you always load it

#

even if it's empty

#

Something generic:
local DakimakuraWeaponsAddons = require("dwAddons")

then somewhere you do something like

for k, v in pairs(DakimakuraWeaponsAddons)
  myCoolListOfStuffThatIAlreadyHaveInPlaceForLoadingIcons[k] = v
end

which inserts the list of items in the addons file one-by-one into your existing list of hot waifu body pillows or whatever πŸ˜„

that's why they got it from my mod

I am looking for some assistance with adjusting a mod to my liking. The developer has left the modding scene. FuelAPI https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2688538916 I am trying to adjust the barrels so they do not allow vehicles to pump from them like gas pumps. It needs to be disabled from the context menu but can't figure out where it is being called from. (Ive searched all the files but Im sure I missed it) Here are the mod files. http://workshop8.abcvg.info/archive/108600/2688538916.zip I appreciate any assistance in advance!

would it be possible to make a crafting stydrum out of using parts for funtur?

#

Like any random part Like a chair and a table and you craft a babrcade?

lucid spindle
# tame mulch For example, for pain you can use bodypart:setAdditionalPain(x)

I've played in the player stats debugger and learnt some things.

Several stats cannot be directly adjusted and the debugger tells you this.
getPlayer():getStats():setPain(1.0);
getPlayer():getStats():setSickness(1.0);

The previous advice on pain/sickness being in body parts probably holds here and that's cool.

Several stat setters do indeed change the stat (this is reflected in the debugger and by calling print with the getter), however there is no moodle impact to this...
getPlayer():getStats():setFear(1.0);
getPlayer():getStats():setFitness(1.0);
getPlayer():getStats():setSanity(1.0);

Morale is a bit different! The debugger tells you it can only be adjusted when stress>0. However, adjusting it when stress is at 50% has no impact on the metric. But from memory you can change it in the debugger.
getPlayer():getStats():setMorale(0);

Finally, there are a couple of stat setters (the Boredom ones) that have no effect at all on the stat. The value does not change. However, it can be adjusted in the player stats debugger.
getPlayer():getStats():setBoredom(1.0);
getPlayer():getStats():setIdleboredom(1.0);

#

So I guess that leaves me with just one question...
Has anyone had any luck with adjusting Boredom using lua??

just as a suggestion. you could make a second mod in your workshop item, that would be like a template that people could copy for their own addons. kind of like the example mod vanilla has. ofc the text can be enough to explain things to people, but a template could reduce the chances of someone making a conflicting addon and mistakes in lua. so would be a little extra work now that would reduce potential future headaches.

also love the idea of that mod. really funny. I think im going to try doing a high pop run with the goal to collect them all XD.

yeah well im not sure exactly what problems you have already discussed with them, but I atleast looked at ducks dakimakura, and they need to be doing table inserts rather than overwriting any files. So one thing that is important is that the filename for all lua and scripts are different. so using ducks dakimakuras as an example, he correctly renamed the weeb_fixing.txt, weeb_models.txt to something new so they wouldn't overwrite your stuff. but he uses the name filename and structure so your DakiArmor.txt is overwritten.

The scripts are easy enough, he just needs to make sure the names are all unique, which will remove the conflicts. For the lua files its slightly more complicated. The file name again needs to be different. but then the lua code also needs to be modified in a way to just add to the tables rather than replacing them. For example in ducks, he entirely redeclares the AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack field as well as replacing your lua file. so yours is fine, then in the addons. they need to use:

table.insert(AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack.weapons, "Base.yournewdaki")

for every new daki they add instead of redeclaring the AttachedWeaponDefinitions.DakimakuraInBack table. This will add their dakis in without replacing the current table. then ofc it will also need the require statement Angr talked about. That statement makes sure your file will be run first, so that the new tables you create exist before they start to try adding to it.

With regards to making sure they dont replace files you could make a suggestion to them to add a prefix to their lua and scripts files that would make sure the file names are unique.

shadow geyser
# shadow geyser yeah well im not sure exactly what problems you have already discussed with them...

Then also there is an issue with how you are handling DakimakuraWeapons array in the DakiArmor.lua for spawning in the daki on beds. because it is a local variable, other mods will not be able to add their own dakimakuras to this list so their stuff can't spawn with the same logic. In duck dakimakura addons, he is entirely replacing your array, so your original dakis can't spawn in. You should instead have the variable not be local, so other mods can get it.

You can fix this by modifying the DakimakuraList.lua file by removing the local in front of DakimakuraWeapons. Then you can also remove the return DakimakuraWeapons as it isn't needed. You then just have the require("DakimakuraList") by itself in Dakiarmour.lua. This makes sure DakimakuraWeapons array exists when that lua is run, and you continue to use it in that file. Then other add-on modders will have a lua file that is the following:

require("DakimakuraList")
DakimakuraWeapons:add("yournewdaki")
#repeated for each new daki

This way, add-ons can modify the Arraylist to add in their new items to the list of dakis to be spawned. you could do the same for OpaiZList as well, if people want to add their own magazines too.

shadow geyser
# dapper hound I did find that reference in customfuelobject.lua for that mod. I do not see any...

oh I see. looks like the context menu is from the vanilla context menu and not from the fuelapi mod. So you would need to overwrite the vanilla context menu to achieve what you want. from what I can tell, the easiest way to do so would be to modify the ISVehiclePartMenu.getNearbyFuelPump function. it goes through the objects and calls getPipedFuelAmount to check if it is an object that has fuel. The easiest way I think to make you change is to add another if conditional, which checks if the object is from the fuelapi, which you can probably do by just adding a field into the CustomFuelObject class which the context menu will check if it exists. and so if the object has the field, it doesn't return that object as a valid object to pump fuel from.

shadow geyser
# drifting stump -------- exampleFile.lua -------- ```lua local variable = {} return variable ``...

hmm, will that really give the same table to all files the use the require statement? I assumed that it would redeclare a brand new table if another person has another case where they call that table. if we have 3 files, 1 which is your exampleFile.lua, and the other 2 are both using the same mechanism in exampleImport.lua. The 2 other files will ultimately have 2 different tables if they are both adding to it right?

No they will get the reference to the exported variable therefore with tables access to the original

Are there any resources I can read on the differences of the server/client/shared lua subfolders and how they differ in MP? Naturally I'd assume client means anything done here is strictly client side, and server is hosting side. But then what's the difference between server and shared, if the server actively informs clients? The reason I ask is I'm trying to make a mod leveraging the OnZombieDead event and altering nearby zombies, so I would assume this would need to be done server side.

that's what i mean. i want to add mod data to an item as it's created

willow estuary
#

It looks like OnMakeItem was intended for usage with recipes?
If it's a product of a recipe, than an OnCreate function would get the user.

faint jewel
#

hmmm... actually i need "OnItemPlaced"

#

rather than made.

#

as it would affect a tile.

hollow dragon
#

Yeah, I was looking at the java code. Trying to figure out how to change a food item stat (like unhappiness and boredom) depending on the heat of the container, also checking in the item script a custom param (like GoodCold = true). Only clues I found of this behavior is in the Item.class and Food.class.

willow estuary
hollow dragon
#

I see. Then how to replicate the behavior I explained above? Examples of that are the BetterHot and BadCold on food items. Also, it is possible to add custom params in item scripts?

faint jewel
#

local function OnObjectAdded(object) would this read when i add a tile?

willow estuary
#

You can make custom parameters using mod data.
Like so, using the Vanilla needle as an example?

    item Needle
    {
        DisplayCategory = Tool,
        Weight    =    0.1,
        Type    =    Normal,
        DisplayName    =   Needle,
        Icon    =    Needle,
        MetalValue = 2,
        SurvivalGear = TRUE,
        Medical = TRUE,
        WorldStaticModel = Needle,
                
                BlairSewing = 5,
    }

And if I use this code

-- item is assumed to be a Base.Needle item
local BlairSewing = item:getModData().BlairSewing -- which should == 5

It'll retrieve my custom parameter.

Anyone have a link or mod that does server side calculations, then sends a command to a client? I have an event that runs server side, and I want to send an audio clip to any nearby players from the event source

kindred dagger
#

Does anyone know the exact hours when it is considered night time? I am using a night exp mod and want to sync it to the "Night Active Zombies" sandbox option.

wary kettle
#

8pm-8am I believe

kindred dagger
#

Apparently they vary with the seasons. I tried looking up in the game files but it might be in a class file that I can't read.

wary kettle
#

They can vary by season, but I believe the game has a hard coded 8pm-8am for that zombie active setting. No idea why

kindred dagger
#

Well, that makes things a lit easier then.

#

Thanks a lot

#

I would have used Night Sprinters, but permanent sprinters at night sounds way too difficult. I'd rather have a mix of all speeds

slender cedar
kindred dagger
#

I believe this is how guns work in vanilla already. You cannibalize one to repair the other

slender cedar
#

Not just guns, in Bethesda games it works with all weapons

#

That is how guns work in pz

kindred dagger
#

Doing that would require a lot of changes to the base repair "recipes" but it should be doable

slender cedar
#

It would also probably not work with mods

#

Probably definitely

kindred dagger
#

Mhm probably not

slender cedar
#

Unless you somehow set in the code that any weapon is repaired with the same weapon, unless you have jury rigger, than whatever group the weapon is in, can be repaired by any weapon in that group

#

It would probably be only the last part that conflicts, but I'm not a coder

kindred dagger
#

Probably not something I can do either, my skills are rather limited

I was thinking about modify The Only Cure mod and add a new prothese, the chainsaw (A reference to... Probably everyone knows it so I'm going to skip that part)

That's something possible?

You know I was gonna ad manga to my mod but since you seem to have it handled I came up with a better more degenerate idea befitting my body pillow mod's standards.

Adding actual hentai mags with the sacred sauce digits as the item name.

Im trying to do Procedural distributions rn

hot patrol

Someone else was kind enough to get that spawning set up for me. I had no clue what I was doing and considering the chunky code required for it I don't think I ever would have.

mild marlin
#

any1 can tell me if the item id added on the ProceduralDistributions should be this one?

unknown.png
hot patrol

looks correct to me

native shore
hot patrol
mild marlin
#

you use procedural distributions or just the distributions lua?

hot patrol
#

not sure what catagory it would fall under. I have items spawning in the actual world.

either way tho I imagine that would be the same ID.

faint jewel
#

the tiles are placed by users.

mild marlin

Anyway it worked on GenericShelf

nice

mild marlin

But i guess ill need to look for everything book related

I was using LibraryBooks but i couldnt find the manga at the library so idk

Not sure If I can be of much help but does your model script look like this? model Dakimakura1 { mesh = Weapons/2Handed/daki, texture = Weapons/2Handed/daki1,

#

mesh is the model

grim rose
#

oh thanks

#

i am coping it from britas pack

hot patrol
#

don't follow that file structure exactly. That there is for a weapon

#

yours would be static/your item

#

since it is a static item

grim rose
# 
        WorldStaticModel = ```?
hot patrol
# 
    {
        mesh = static/dakiarmor_ground,
        texture = clothes/daki_armor1,
    }```
grim rose

{
    imports
    {
        Base

    item cirno
    {
        DisplayCategory = Junk,
        Weight          =    0.2,
        Type            =    Normal,
        DisplayName        =    Cirno fumo,
        Icon            =    fumo_cirno,
        WorldStaticModel = cirno_low,
        Tooltip         = Tooltip_item_fumo9,

    model cirno
    {
        mesh = 
        texture = junk/cirno_fumo/fumo_cirno,
    }
}```
#

like this?

hot patrol
#

umm I think it needs to be in it's own text file

#

I would suggest looking at a similar item in the vanilla game like the spiffo plush

#

give me a sec and I will find it

inner blade

I just decided to take a quick look here and saw stuff about hentai magazines.

hot patrol
inner blade
#

I regret being an adult and knowing what that is.

hot patrol
# grim rose ```module FUM { imports { Base } item cirno ...

no. ok so make a text file for this portion called like plushitems item cirno { DisplayCategory = Junk, Weight = 0.2, Type = Normal, DisplayName = Cirno fumo, Icon = fumo_cirno, WorldStaticModel = cirno_low, Tooltip = Tooltip_item_fumo9, }

#

anf then another file for this part model cirno { mesh = texture = junk/cirno_fumo/fumo_cirno, }

#

both in the scripts folder

grim rose
#

okay, how do i call other one>

#

like file?

hot patrol
#

name doesn't matter. make it unique

inner blade
#

As long as it doesn't override a mod/in-game item it should be fine.

hot patrol
#

so the item file should actually look more like module Base { item cirno { DisplayCategory = Junk, Weight = 0.2, Type = Normal, DisplayName = Cirno fumo, Icon = fumo_cirno, WorldStaticModel = cirno_low, Tooltip = Tooltip_item_fumo9, } }

inner blade
#

Also can you not replace the in-game icons?

#

Tried doing that and it no work.

hot patrol
inner blade
#

Tried doing that for the screwdriver with a blue icon but it didn't seem to change unless I did something wrong.

hot patrol

one thing then

Figured that but when I did that for the screwdriver it never changed.

what do i writte in mesh?

put it in textures folder

hot patrol

what he said

#

is the name that you put the same as the icons file name?

#

minus the Item_

inner blade

Right there, never changed

hot patrol

so it is screwdriver_blue

you didn't put the underscore

grim rose
inner blade
#

Is it an fbx or x direct?

grim rose
#

wait

#

why model hasn't been deleted

#

brb

inner blade
#

Also the mesh path has to be like the texture.

grim rose
#

ah because its visual studio code

grim rose
inner blade
#

mesh is for model.

#

Texture is.. texture.

hot patrol
#

model but you don't have the file structure listed

#

Mine again for reference model DakiArmor_ground1 { mesh = static/dakiarmor_ground, texture = clothes/daki_armor1, }

grim rose
#

okay, thanks

grim rose
hot patrol
#

yes

#

so the file path for my model there is models_x/static

faint jewel
#

okay so PLACED tiles count as thumpables and not isoobjects

hot patrol
#

you stuff should look similar

faint jewel
#

wth??

inner blade
#

Basically everything after models_x you put as the directory.

hot patrol
#

exactly

grim rose
#

mesh = models_X\cirno_low.x\cirno_low,

#

did this way

faint jewel
#

i just wanna check and make sure that it's using my tile ONLY.

inner blade
#

Take out the models_x.

hot patrol
#

the model needs to be in a folder called static

#

as it is for all static models

inner blade
#

Unless it's a weapon

hot patrol
#

basically file structure should match the actual games

#

also this might not be right texture = WorldItems/cirno_fumo/fumo_cirno,

#

should just be texture = WorldItems/fumo_cirno,

grim rose
#

so i should remove 1 directory>

#

?

hot patrol
#

so if texture is in another folder just place it in the worlditems folder

#

Not sure if it actually matters but it is how mine is

#

and the base game

grim rose
#

this one ok?
WorldStaticModel = mesh = Static/cirno_low,

hot patrol
#

mesh is fine

#

it was texture I am talking about

grim rose
#

yes i changed ir

hot patrol
#

so what does it all look like now?

grim rose
hot patrol
#

ok so I downloadedthe model one and let me ask are you using notepad?

#

like normal notepad?

#

it is all jacked up

#

download something like notepad+++

grim rose
hot patrol
#

well for whatever reason the placement of everything is off

everything you put is right tho. just readjust it

    {
        mesh = Static/cirno_low,

use the one I made for you module FUM { model cirno { mesh = Static/cirno_low, texture = WorldItems/fumo_cirno, } }

why do i make...

#

yeah i see it now

hot patrol

and yea this is wrong

no need for the path as it already knows it is a static model

best thing I can think of is your using module FUM. I used base

grim rose

i will try using base

#

if thats not gonna work that means model is bad

online convertors aren't the best i assume

hot patrol
# 
{
    item cirno
    {
        DisplayCategory = Junk,
        Weight          =    0.2,
        Type            =    Normal,
        DisplayName        =    Cirno fumo,
        Icon            =    fumo_cirno,
        WorldStaticModel =    cirno_low,
        Tooltip         = Tooltip_item_fumo9,
    }
}``` ```module Base
{
    model cirno
        {
            mesh = Static/cirno_low,
            texture = WorldItems/fumo_cirno,
        }
}```
#

try that exactly as I put it

timid saffron
#

molded by it

hot patrol

if that doesn't work my next guess is your file structure is wrong

if so just send me your whole mod and I can look

#

The procedural distros have grown on me.

inner blade
#

Is procedural better then normal dis or no?

zealous wing
#

You can make a lot more compact distro files using procedural.

inner blade
#

So it would be easier to use procedural?

zealous wing
#

It's mostly procedural now, so sure.

grim rose
#

you can also stole discribution from similiar other mods :))))

inner blade
#

To be fair I looked at others and the ones I looked at had different ways they did.

zealous wing
#

I mean, you don't have to type out every last line. you can bulk copy-paste a lot of values as you go along.

inner blade
#

I do the opposite, I go through it and delete the ones I don't need.

zealous wing
#

E.g. above.

#

I often see people writing ridiculous amounts of lua to set up distros and I'm like, "Nah bruh, you doing it stupid."

inner blade
#

I've never touched Lua in my life and I've only been messing with it in the past few weeks.

i thought i will never touch blender

😭

inner blade
#

It's not to to hard.

#

Pretty sure there's tutorials for that.

grim rose
#

i guess

inner blade
#

I know blender better then coding lol

grim rose
#

but problem is other

zealous wing
grim rose
#

you know the blend i am using has 2500 polygons

grim rose
zealous wing
#

Oke.

grim rose
#

later i will just change it using online converter to .x

zealous wing
#

You got a tab up top called UV editing. Click on that.

grim rose
#

i did

zealous wing
#

You also got a tab called texture paint. you can use that to paint textures onto your uvs.

#

So texture paint makes the texture, and the uv editor fine tunes the mapping.

inner blade
#

Also you don't have to use x files.

#

Fbx works just fine.

zealous wing
#

I personally DNGAF about the texture painter, because it is even more limited than MSPaint.

#

Loads of others use it, but they're fucking masochists.

#

Anyways, with face select in edit mode selected, right click on your model and left click on uv unwrap faces.

grim rose
#

i won't even touch that or i will draw one texture next 5 hlurs

zealous wing
#

You got a few options in there. Unwrap will let you, well, unwrap the mesh so you can do stuff with it in the UV editor.

#

I use GIMP for art school shit.

#

Been using it since fucking high school.
Fuck you Photoshit.

zealous wing
#

Remake the model with like 1/10th of the tris.

grim rose

#

From the reference pic, you could remake that with a handful of primitives.

#

Cylinders for the arms/legs, a sphere for the head, etc.

Use the in-game spiffo as a reference? It's got like 200 polys tops.

#

But seriously, aim for less than 400 at the most.

teal rampart
#

How many polys are the characters/zombies?

#

i reckon around 2k?

#

no way...

#

less than that

grim rose
zealous wing
#

Less than 1k

grim rose
#

But i won’t go over 600

teal rampart
#

Thanks, I was wondering

zealous wing
#

yeah, just remake it. Decimate does weird shit to the geometry.

teal rampart
#

Did you guesstimate it or check it, Madman? πŸ™‚

zealous wing
#

Like I said, a few primitives.

#

Fuckit, imma look at it in blender.

mmmm

OH, silly me

#

i could have checked that out by myself. relying on others again... tsk

grim rose
#

but for now @zealous wing do you think 600polygons gonna be allright?

zealous wing
#

Less.

#

Half that.

#

It can look like absolute low poly trash in the blender view.

#

In game it will look better.

#

I presume you're trying to make a plush a la Authentic's backpack stuff?

#

alright so if it's not slash i don't use the line at all for the weapon right?

i meant why object doesn't load texture properly

inner blade
#

Has to be the uv map.

#

Or did you convert it to an x file?

grim rose
#

whats with that?

inner blade
#

You don't have to have it as an x file.

#

It can be an fbx, the issue with x files is that they break textures.

#

What it does it breaks up the entire model into separate faces.

grim rose
#

yes

inner blade
#

Well the thing is if the model breaks apart it makes a different uv map.

Change the model scale to 0.1 or 0.01.

In the code, not the actual model

I was wondering if someone can help me understand what exactly canBeAlwaysPlaced is meant to do specific to IsoObject. I've tried to scan the java files for a reference, but it does not seen to exist in any of the Iso class files. The reason I ask is that when the property is set to true you can place objects normally, but setting it to false results in an invalid placement against west walls πŸ€”

#

I think I might have figured it out. It seems to be specific to wall-like object placements, but for some reason it was also set as false for wooden crosses which threw me off as being furniture specific (which its not).

sour island
# hot patrol so the book can only be used once to get back xp

@dim hill This is correct. A one time use journal was requested and this was the best way to do it. This also means you can keep transcribing but you can only recover a specific amount of XP once. The tooltip when hovering over the journal should display a fraction of available/total.

#

I.e.: you can store 500 XP, recover 500 and it should show 0/500. If you gain more you can store more, for example another 500. Which would be 500/1000.

#

At the time I don't think there wask anything preventing VHS abuse even in the vanilla game- I think a recent update came out while I was busy. Over the summer I can get back into things.

For the time being you can set a % to not gain back.

zealous wing
# inner blade <@534883691676172308>Yo, when you have the time could you help me understand the...

The function is self-explanatory - it inserts new lines of code to a table. πŸ˜„
Lemme grab an example from an open doc:
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["CafeteriaDrinks"].items, "LitteringB41.SodaCanCola"); table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["CafeteriaDrinks"].items, 0.5);
So these 2 lines will add an item to a part of the procedural definitions table outlined in ProceduralDefinitions.lua.
The 1st dictates what item is being added to a specific container. In this case, "CafeteriaDrinks" is the container. Don't worry about the "list" entry for procedural distros.
The 2nd line indicates the relative spawn chances. Relative in the sense that the actual chances of an item spawning depends on about a dozen or so factors at least. I'd suggest keeping it about the same as the other items in the container.
There's also Distributions.lua and VehicleDistributions.lua, but they've got a little different rules to them.

inner blade
#

Yea I was mainly looking at the normal distro.lua and got really overwhelmed with the amount of code there was-

#

Since it's like every container type.

I'd like to make either pretty cool looking combat clothing or a bow mod with compound bows/other types better than the existing ones

#

Probably clothing is easiest for me now though, bow one feels a bit ambitious right now lol

zealous wing
#

There's some hardware limitations in regards to the bow too - specifically in regards to, say, the animated bowstring and the like.
IIRC it would count as a firearm, and the way the game handles the shooty stuff is kinda munted at the moment.
The guy that does the heavy coding technical stuff for PZ had a surgery to not be chronically ill all the time and is back full time, so maybe it'd get reworked at some point.

#

As for clothing, doing the item entries and distros is easy. In regard to those, just copy from another mod with similar stuff to yours and change the file names to suit you.
