[random finch]

Correct, tried at least 4-5 times.

[sour island]

Are you sure you have the right ID set?

I've seen people updating onto their other work by accident

From copy pasting directories when starting new projects, if you copy the mod.info but forget to change the id number

That'd be my best guess

[random finch]

hrmm, could be right. Let me triple check.

Bah, thanks Chuck. Your suggestion somehow pointed me in the right direction. However, I was working on it from the mods directory rather than the workshop directory. The ID was correct.

[sour island]

Ah, see I have the opposite issue sometimes - if you're subscribed to your own mod the subscribed version gets loaded rather than your upload directory one

I kind of wish every folder was loaded and displayed separately

[late hound]

Yep I hate when I realize that during my testing xD

[subtle sapphire]

Question for MP server: Does anyone knows if there is cap on the number of zombies with a speedtype different than the default one? I am asking because I am trying to force the speedType of each zombie to Sprinter, it works well until I start to move around with the player, and suddenly stop. All zombies are moving at the default speed of the server. This doesn't happen while playing in SP. Oh, the same apply if I force the speedType to shamblers 👀

[sour island]

If you're tapping into zombie update you may have to move the code's location to shared if it's not

[sinful iron]

This is probably a horrifying question but can action groups be used to make zombies access events like climb wall / window the player character has?

[mint sphinx]

How do Is it again to make a sprite not walk through?

[deft prism]

i love this thanks, i dont use any guns but I will download this in forever. Im a huge fan of anything aliens.

[mystic hazel]

Thanks, yea, huge Alien nerd myself

[azure rivet]

hello I need help I want to make the character attack except when the zombie is on the ground and stomp on it as usual. Where are the attack action scripts in the game?

[placid hinge]

There are onhit events that let you have a function call whenever a character hit a zombie/player

[azure rivet]

But I don't know how to define the event of a zombie on the ground and I don't know where to see them.

[thin hornet]

local function onZombieUpdate(zombie)
  if zombie:isCrawling() then
      if getPlayer():getSquare() == zombie:getSquare() then
        -- player is on top of this crawler
      end
  end
end
Events.OnZombieUpdate.Add(onZombieUpdate);

[midnight mica]

is there a method that returns the time a player has played on the server? like across all deaths?

[placid hinge]

Yah what @thin hornet put here should help with that lol

[azure rivet]

Thanks, I try to implement it and achieve the result I want.

[true vault]

I have returned. Again.
Trying to add XP upon completion of recipe. I got the whole OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.Blacksmithing10 (copied/looked at vanilla recipes in recipes.txt), however, it errors out with something along the lines of "<local6> is null" or something very similar to that.

Any clue what that's supposed to mean, and/or am I entirely missing something in how to implement XP adding?
My recipe:

recipe Refine Scrap Metal Into Small Metal Sheet
    {
       ScrapMetal=5,
       keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
       Result:SmallSheetMetal,
       Time:120.0,
       Category:Smithing,
       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.Blacksmith25,
       NeedToBeLearn:false,
    }

Vanilla recipe:

recipe Make Sheet Metal
    {
       IronIngot=110,
       keep BallPeenHammer,
       keep Tongs,

       NearItem:Anvil,
       Result:SheetMetal,
       Time:190.0,
       Category:Smithing,
       SkillRequired:Blacksmith=4,
       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.Blacksmith25,
       NeedToBeLearn:true,
    }

The recipe itself "works"; it produces a small metal sheet, removes the ingredients, and keeps the hammer. But it doesn't give the XP.

Relevant Error messages from console:
https://pastebin.com/3pvadeXz

[thin hornet]

I don't think Perks.Blacksmith exist anymore

might wanna use Recipe.OnGiveXP.MetalWelding25 instead

[true vault]

Alright, I'll try that, thanks. I'll reply back here if it works or not.

That did the trick, thank you so much @thin hornet!

[thin hornet]

Np

[viral flame]

I just discovered you can have skeleton enemies lol

[thin hornet]

thats dope

[craggy laurel]

hi, I'm looking to make the drinking animation looong for a beverage mod, around 3 minutes. I was wondering what made the drink animations loop longer than others (e.g. soda can vs pot or milk).

[viral flame]

local function makeSkeleton(body)
    local square = body:getSquare()
    local direction = body:getDir()

    local skeletonTemplate = addZombiesInOutfit(square:getX(), square:getY(), square:getZ(), 1, nil, 0, false, false, false, false, 100)
    skeletonTemplate = skeletonTemplate:get(0)
    skeletonTemplate:setSkeleton(true)
    skeletonTemplate:removeFromWorld()

    skeletonTemplate:setCurrent(square)
    skeletonTemplate:setDir(direction)

    return IsoDeadBody.new(skeletonTemplate, false)
end

why is it so ridiculously hacky to make a skeleton dead body?

is there an easier way im missing?

[mint sphinx]

I guess not thst anyone know it then xD might just have to look after it after I'm finish at work then

[jaunty marten]

don't make mods for pz

or order box of lubricant

[jaunty marten]

still exists

btw what's this? blacksmith was as metalwelding in prev builds?

[mint sphinx]

if i remember correct you could forge few things in the start of the game but was removed. but might come back in 42

[jaunty marten]

gotcha

[thin hornet]

it exist but its not active so its throw when trying to give xp to it

[jaunty marten]

heh

@thin hornet strange question but do u know what exactly IS means?

[thin hornet]

IndieStone

[jaunty marten]

ah

thx

[mint sphinx]

by any chance do you know which atributte you need to give a sprite so you can walk through it ? its a 2d sprite and not a 3d object im working on atm.

[thin hornet]

i dont recall exactly but its something about transparent if my memory is right

[mint sphinx]

hmm okay just i make some kind of vines on sticks which i dont want to be able to just walk through but i will need it to be able to take dmg as well so it can break but that the next step in like 9 hours form now. 😛

[jaunty marten]

do u know how to extract .pack textures from ProjectZomboid\media\texturepacks\? I want to get green tile to have perfect tile size to do sprites

[mint sphinx]

thx i guess just have to make a into my generics lua script 😛

depend how you packed the skin and where on the sprites

[jaunty marten]

it's game based

[mint sphinx]

but packagename_00 or somehting like that you need to know the name of the sprite you want to select

[jaunty marten]

default green tile from build-mode

I know path for it and seems it's extracts from .pack files

• there's strange size of img

full height

[mint sphinx]

at the office so cant really find the default green tile from build mode atm ^^ what the img called ?

[jaunty marten]

128x256

I was confused in first time

but now just want ideal size of tile in 128x256 img

[jaunty marten]

u won't find it anyway

sec

nope

can't find it again

forget where I found name of it

but it have to be here

I tried to google how to extract it but there's nothing

[wooden falcon]

I tried adding a recipe to my mod so that I can craft a custom item and it's not showing up in the crafting menu. Not sure if I'm doing somethign wrong / have a typo / not doing something necessary. All I did was add a file scripts/ModName_recipes.txt that has

module Base
{
    recipe My Item 1
    {
       MyItem2=3,

       Result:MyItem1,
       Sound:PutItemInBag,
       Time:50.0,
       Category:Misc,
    }
}

My Item 1 is the display name for my custom item. MyItem1 (and MyItem2 for the other item) is the name given to the item object in scripts/ModName_item.txt:

module Base
{
    item MyItem1
    {
        -- item attributes
    },
    item MyItem2
    {
        -- item attributes
    }
}

(I probably shouldn't be using the Base module for my mod, but the names are unique enough that I don't think that's the issue.) Any ideas what I'm missing?

I thought that maybe it's because I gave the recipe the same name as the item itself, so I tried changing the recipe name to have "Make" before it, but that didn't have any effect.

I looked at the way the recipes are defined in the vanilla files as well as how another mod is doing it. Not sure what I'm missing.

[drifting stump]

collideN and collideW are the tile properties that control which side has collision

[drifting stump]

use tilezed pack viewer

[violet shell]

Hi, I managed to exctract all the files from the vanilla texture pack when I was modding in B40. I don't remember exactly how I did that but I made a gimp template with a square as a layer. I can share it if you want it.

[jaunty marten]

thx

[violet shell]

It's a png file sorry, and here it is in case of.

[jaunty marten]

thanks

[mint sphinx]

so if it on all sites ? it just so the person can walk through it at all

[violet shell]

I also have this @jaunty marten

this is a better template to create stuff, the first template I sent is to align your faces in the same png to repack it in a .tiles file

[drifting stump]

im not sure how in the tile editor thingy but in lua you set it as not thumpable

[mint sphinx]

you might think about https://github.com/cdaragorn/ProjectZomboidPackManager but i the new version do have a bug with some of the .pack now of days. so i would just use the .pack view in the default mod toll

[mint sphinx]

fair just have to fiddle around in the lua script it what i need to make it not able to go though and it have to read on an atribute anyways form an item

[violet shell]

I still have all the packed files unpacked as dozens of .png files, I can zip all of it in an archive and upload it somewhere

MP me if you want me to do that

[drifting stump]

newObject:setIsThumpable(false)

[jaunty marten]

[mint sphinx]

will pm you later or shout inn this chat right now i have to finish some setting.ktl scripts for my devop task xD

[thin hornet]

try using your own module name with

module MyMod {
  imports {
    Base
  }
  
  recipe My Recipe {
    
  }
}

[uncut meteor]

setColor(Color.red) changes the item sprite texture color sort of an overlay, but
does anyone know how to set up Custom colors for display name?

[drifting stump]

not possible without rewriting the ui

[static oyster]

were you able to add a skeleton enemy type to the world or just replace all the zombies with skeletons?

[dapper pine]

would it be possible to make the weapon wheel detect weapons in your backpack too? and how difficult would that be? i haven't modded this game before 😅

[frosty falcon]

you would edit/replace the wheel and do some inventory checks on the player
you could look into a mod that already changes the wheel if you know any

[viral flame]

Add a skeleton enemy to the world, I can give you a snippet later today when I'm on PC if u want

But really what I wanted was to add a skeleton dead body which is what that function does

[dapper pine]

i havent been able to find a mod that does that unfortunately

[keen frost]

no, is a WIP commission 😆

[jaunty marten]

local function GetPlayerInventory()

    local containers = ArrayList.new()

    for _, v in ipairs(getPlayerInventory(getPlayer():getPlayerNum()).inventoryPane.inventoryPage.backpacks) do

        containers:add(v.inventory)

    end

    return containers

end

[dapper pine]

assuming this is edited, what lua (?) file would i put this in?

[jaunty marten]

into file of ur mod

[sour island]

You can edit the actual function your referring to here: media/lua/client/Hotbar/ISHotbar.lua

ISHotbar.onKeyKeepPressed = function(key)

#732 - local inv = playerObj:getInventory():getItems()

You can just change getItems to the other types of checks, I think the devs already have a recursive one

[sour island]

Would you mind if I write this as a mod?

I figured out how it can be done but would require using getAllEvalRecurse() instead of getitems

and writing an evaluating function

[dapper pine]

not at all

cant really figure it out myself haha

[spare burrow]

Hey people, question: How can i make so an item is provided each X hours survived to a player?

i know this function exists, but i would like better to count survived hours : ```local function EveryHours()
-- Your code here
end

Events.EveryHours.Add(EveryHours)```

[jaunty marten]

check here survived hours lul

or u don't know function to get survived hours?

[spare burrow]

Checked https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events for time, hours, survived, etc at no avail

[jaunty marten]

just check code of this part

I don't remember function name exactly

[viral notch]

how to make tire with air in ?

when spawn vehicle have 4 wheels but all tires are 0/40 air

[spare burrow]

Can't find it, i'm currently too noob on modding zomboid xD thats why i asked

[jaunty marten]

https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65

survived

[frosty falcon]

you can use java functions in lua right?
https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/characters/IsoPlayer.html#getHoursSurvived()

[jaunty marten]

yeah

[frosty falcon]

good stuff

[jaunty marten]

but poor usage

[willow estuary]

Just as a clarification, the public Java functions can be called in lua, but not the private ones.

But there are a lot of juicy + powerful public java functions in the PZ code.

[jaunty marten]

do u know way to fully override render of object? sadly I didn't find it anywhere

[willow estuary]

Do you mean the model? If so, no, but that is something that we are working on making mod-able 🙂

[keen cape]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821231605
Update 16, people like the additions and requests made 🙂

[willow estuary]

You can override the models for weapons, but not other models currently.

[jaunty marten]

fortunately it's object without model just sprite

[willow estuary]

Just the sprite? Gimme 1 minute

[viral notch]

how to dam put pressure in tire?
spawned vehicle has wheels without pressure but with random condition...
will be nice to have it with random amount of air in also
someone can help me ?

[jaunty marten]

[jaunty marten]

check the code of debug mode or cheat menu (mod)

[willow estuary]

local texture = getTexture("media/textures/NEW_ICON_NAME.png")
item:setTexture(texture)

[jaunty marten]

named "Content Amount"

[jaunty marten]

I mean dynamically

[viral notch]

debug sure but where to have look on that pressure ?
and then how to put in vehicle code to set it with air in

[jaunty marten]

literally render

[jaunty marten]

about vehicle code idk absolutely

Ik only lua ways

[viral notch]

rn have in tires same as in temple

container
    {
                capacity = 40,
                test = Vehicles.ContainerAccess.Tire,
                contentType = Air,
    }

[sour island]

This is the behavior you want right?

Hammer is in a briefcase inside the backbag

[frosty falcon]

Ahh good to know thanks for clarifying

[sour island]

You have to tap into another function as texture isn't saved. I do this for Named Literature, and use function ISInventoryPane:refreshContainer()

[jaunty marten]

it's not item but world object

[sour island]

3D models can't be changed dynamically atm

but this function will work on 'floor' containers too

[jaunty marten]

not model but sprite

[sour island]

you could tie into LoadSquare()

just make sure you have it only capable of applying once

[jaunty marten]

Ik

but it's not optimised

[sour island]

without an added event for items on load this is kind of how you have to do it

also not that bad

[jaunty marten]

• I need to check always if it need to be rendered

[sour island]

you can add the square to a temp global list so it's only ran once

same thing with the items, so it's not reapplied

[jaunty marten]

I just want to do obj.render = function() ... end like in gmod

seems my mod going into trash bin without this feature

[sour island]

you can try to suggest they add a triggerevent on item load

[jaunty marten]

blair said they working on it

[sour island]

Yes, but you said sprite

which only needs refresh container right now

[jaunty marten]

I think it's same things here

[jaunty marten]

it's not iteeeeem

[sour island]

What is it?

[jaunty marten]

world object that haven't model but sprite

[sour island]

so like broken glass/furniture?

[jaunty marten]

IsoObject.new(square, "media/textures/blablabla.png", item_type)

[jaunty marten]

tbh idk how it's coded

[sour island]

if you're calling new() you can just change the texture there? no?

[jaunty marten]

okay just it:
I have mode that can enable/disable and I need to render sprite objects only if mode is on

so I need to control render each frame

not just once

[sour island]

When/how are they placed? You could create a list in modData of XYZs

[jaunty marten]

I can change textures on mode change

[sour island]

then on world load / whenever you want - can change them based on xyz

[jaunty marten]

but sounds like a shit

[jaunty marten]

sounds trash but seems it's single way to do it currently

don't want

[sour island]

that's kind of how it has to be done unless you have the player directly changing it

it's not unoptimized lol

[jaunty marten]

not so

[dapper pine]

yes!!

[sour island]

I don't know exactly what you want to be happening, but if you want objects to change over time or go into different modes you need a way to reference them

otherwise you'll be scanning the tiles in the area instead

[jaunty marten]

it's a problem cos I don't want to go through all table

[sour island]

also the game is pretty solidly built - all things considered - I scan the entire cell square by square for EHE and no ones mentioned lag lol

[jaunty marten]

I want just override render of single item type

[sour island]

that's why I said to shorthand using xyz

table = {["x-y-z"]=object}

table["x-y-z"] returns object

you dont need to for loop it

[willow estuary]

Ah, my bad in that I though you were talking about inventory items and not world objects?

Currently I don't know very much about modifying world object sprites; it's not in my wheelhouse.

[jaunty marten]

I have optimised xyz table with meta-args that contains object but anyway it's trash

[sour island]

I wouldn't try saving the object in anyway

[jaunty marten]

sad but anyway thx for feedback

[sour island]

does it inherently save if you create an isobject?

I've never tried

but if you don't have to worry about manually saving the object - I'd just save the xyz's and grab the objects on boot

[jaunty marten]

concatenation and strings - thanks but no xd

[sour island]

would be alot faster for saves

Not sure what your ideal solution would be then

How would the game know which object you need to change?

[jaunty marten]

only way is iterate full table on mode switch

[jaunty marten]

table of objects

it's fine

[sour island]

you can't save objects in modData afaik

which is why I suggested the xyz

would also avoid save bloat

[jaunty marten]

their pos saving in moddata[x][y][z] so it's fine to find them after restart

[sour island]

okay then what's the issue?

[jaunty marten]

optimised way to render them only if setup-mode is enabled

I'm always work on optimise and if there's no this one then I'm crying

[sour island]

isn't the point of optimizing to avoid overhead costs

having a table of coords recorded isn't unoptimized at all

[jaunty marten]

that's what I want to do

[jaunty marten]

1. it's better than iterate each square
2. my table is optimised so it's fine

[sour island]

it wouldn't go through each square

you can just use getsquare on the saved coords

then populate a temporary list for direct object calls

once, at world load

[jaunty marten]

I can use saved coords or table of coords recorded isn't unoptimized at all

wut

[sour island]

Anyway, hope you figure it out

[jaunty marten]

I already done it but anyway shit way

[sour island]

Nice, good job

[jaunty marten]

[keen frost]

Just a little more testing before releasing this mod to public

[shadow geyser]

it sounds like the globalObjectSystem would be really suitable for what you are trying to do. I suggest taking a look at how the rain barrels are handled. The rain barrels even has code for dealing with modifying the sprite for the object since they need to display different sprite depending on how full the barrel is. all you would need to do would be to change the everytenminutes event to a every minute one and I think it would be able to ensure the sprite is always the correct one, before your character gets in range to see it.

[spare burrow]

ty!

[keen cape]

Dude, that looks amazing!

[static oyster]

I know you can set skeleton to true

But something i want to know is if it's possible to load different models

I wish I could load something else other than skeletons

Because I wanted to add other type of zombies

I know a hacky way to make new type of zombie models to spawn but still

[viral flame]

createZombie(...) lets you define a survivor description

could probably use that

[viral flame]

everything with modding this engine is hacky lol

[boreal root]

question how do i add maps on bisect hosting also hi first time on the server

[harsh anvil]

Has anyone made a refrigerated or frozen large trailer, box truck or semi-trailer mod for mass hauling of perishable goods?

Aside from the refrigerated spiffos can, ice cream truck mod and car ac refrigeration, there does not seem to be any on the steam workshop

Would this kind of mod be difficult to implement in the game while playing nice with other various car mods like filibusters and eggons?

[static oyster]

I meant load a new 3d model

For example, skeleton = true loads the skeleton.x

I wish I could load a custom 3d model just like the skeleton thing does

[viral flame]

in the survivor description theres a HumanVisual

in that theres a function

setForceModel(Model model)

[static oyster]

You seem to be very experienced, is there Any documentation?

[viral flame]

yes but, I just read through the decompiled code

the documentation is pretty bad

no descriptions usually

[static oyster]

Yeah its bad especially for someone with very basic c# programming knowledge

[viral flame]

well, C# is basically Java

so you would probably be pretty familiar with the decompiled output

C# is microsofts response to Javas popularity

[static oyster]

JavaScript or java ?

[viral flame]

lol

Java

[static oyster]

Hmm

Will try it, i tried decompiling with zomboidDoc but it was always giving me error java version no matter which version i had installed

[viral flame]

yeah, I had the same problem

I debugged it a little bit, basically zomboid is compiled with latest java

and its conflicting with gradle, because if you set java to a version zomboid likes

gradle gets upset because it runs on a version that is to new

and at that point I said fuck it 🤷‍♂️

[thin hornet]

use java 17

[static oyster]

mine was that still gave the same error, will try what internetExplorer said to me

[viral flame]

I tried all of these

the only one that was able to execute the getVersion gradle task was 18

but gradle itself only supports 17

[thin hornet]

thats weird

[viral flame]

Wish I could help more but I'm much more experienced with maven over Gradle :(

[remote cradle]

I am trying to create an item with the same interface as a cd player but which doesnt use cds or vhs. How can I make an item and associate it with the new player.

This is my first mod and I probablt should have started with something simpler but I'm already set on this

[thin hornet]

You could copy the code for the interface but instead of saving recorded media you save the item into the object moddata.
You create a tag for the item and then you only accept item with that tag to be dragged in.
Ejecting the item from the object you read the mod data and recreate that item back into inventory.

item GameBoyPlayer {
}

-- if each media is its own item

item GameBoyCassetteMarioWorld {
  mediaId = MarioWorld,
  tags = GameBoyMedia,
}
item GameBoyCassetteLuigiWorld {
  mediaId = LuigiWorld,
  tags = GameBoyMedia,
}

-- if media is a single item

item GameBoyCassette {
  tags = GameBoyMedia,
  OnCreate = MyMod.OnCreateGameBoyCassette, -- assign a random mediaId and change the sprite in that function
}

-- Shared file containing all items data
GameBoyGames = GameBoyGames or {};
GameBoyGames["MarioWorld"] = {
  title = "Mario World",
  year = 1992,
  boredomModifier = 2,
}

-- server/MyModRecipes.lua
MyMod = MyMod or {};
function MyMod.OnCreateGameBoyCassette(item)
  local allIds = {};
  for k, v in pairs(GameBoyGames) do
    table.insert(allIds, k);
  end
  local randomGameIndex = ZombRand(1, #allIds);
  local gameData = GameBoyGames[allIds[randomGameIndex]);
  item:getModData().mediaId = allIds[randomGameIndex];
  item:setName(gameData.title);
  return item;
end

function insertGameBoyMedia(gameBoyPlayerItem, gameBoyMediaItem)
  local gameBoyPlayerModData = gameBoyPlayerItem:getModData();
  if gameBoyPlayerModData.currentMedia then
    print("gameboy player already have a media inside")
    return;    
  end
  if gameBoyMediaItem:hasTag("GameBoyMedia") then
    local gameBoyMediaModData = gameBoyMediaItem:getModData();
    gameBoyPlayerModData.currentMedia = {
      mediaId = gameBoyMediaModData.mediaId
    };
    return true;
  end
end

function ejectGameBoyMedia(gameBoyPlayerItem, inventory)
  local gameBoyPlayerModData = gameBoyPlayerItem:getModData();
  if gameBoyPlayerModData.currentMedia then
    local item = inventory:AddItem("GameBoyCassette");
    item:getModData().mediaId = gameBoyPlayerModData.currentMedia.mediaId;
    local gameData = GameBoyGames[item:getModData().mediaId]; -- get that shared game data
    -- do more stuff to reasign item name, icon etc
    return item;
  end
end

Someone made a Lua GB emulator over on Roblox

I see no reason (other than you know, setting your computer on fire) it couldn't be ported to kalua

The better you are at GB missle commander, the more stress it reduces 🤣

[undone crag]

I wonder if a yarr me hearties zomboid copy of that roblox lua would have to be on a russian game mod site because steam workshop would respect copyright.

[dapper pine]

i wonder, when you already have something equipped and swap it with something in your backpack, do the items switch places? i figure they dont since that could become messy with backpack capacity

[sour island]

It would just dump it into your inventory with the default behavior. Do you use SwapIt?

I haven't tested it out...

[dapper pine]

awesome! thanks for making it, i really couldnt have done it myself

love that steam allows us to easily view mod content too, makes it alot better experience to try and figure out how mods work

[sour island]

Normally I wouldn't overwrite functions this way but I don't know of any other way to change the internal behavior of the functions

the mod only changes like 1 line per function

[viral flame]

Doubt it, think the emulator was open source and you could be like every other emulator and make users bring their own ROM

But it would be absurdly hard to get anything playable working ever

Lol

[sour island]

I have been denied

Time to dig into timed actions again

Why does the car lose all velocity when I get out 😦

[drifting ore]

Theres some nutty Lua magic on RVLX

RBLX

A dude made an accurate flight simulator

It uses real world topographic data to generate a 1:1 scale America

And dynamically load it

And it has real flight models

Like raypoint calculations for the aerodynamic forces on a specific point of the wing

So your plane can suffer wingpoint stalls accurate to the real world handling of a 178 Cessna

Its pretty performance efficient too

But yeah you can't actually port Roblox scripts to Kalua

Without extensive modification

Roblic uses a propriety language

Called LuaU

And it has like entirely different interpolation variables to normal Lua

[gilded crescent]

does anyone know how to make a vehicle trunk accessible from the interior, like KI5's M998 HMMWV?

im just starting to learn lua so im not sure where to even start

[viral flame]

You just have to remove the type annotations and engine specific garbage

LuaU itself is just a restricted superset of Lua 5.1 so without the annotations it should be mostly fine

[tacit briar]

you could always learn backwards by looking at the code for it

[wooden falcon]

Once I unsubscribed from my mod on the workshop, the recipe started working. Which is really odd. It was a single player world and any changes that I make to the local copy (Users/*/Zomboid/Workshop/ rather than steamapps\workshop\content\108600) of my mod get seen. Maybe my single player world somehow took on the workshop version of the mod. Or maybe recipes go with the workshop version for some reason. But as soon as I unsubscribed from my own mod on the workshop then restarted the game, my recipes were available.

[thin hornet]

thats wack but good thing you found out why it didnt work

[gilded crescent]

thats what i originally did but im struggling to get it to work and since i dont know much about lua im not even sure im looking at the correct code

[static oyster]

does anyone here knows how to change the the zombieLore for only one type of zombie?

lets say I spawned a skeleton, I know theres a boolean to verify if its a skeleton, is there a way to only give a skeletal zombie specific settings separated from the others?

even if I try to getSandboxOptions():set("ZombieLore.Toughness",1) and what not inside the boolean, every zombie is changed

only the zombie:setHealth actually works

[drifting ore]

Except LuaU uses almost entirely engine specific variables

IE Player handler, LocalPlayer, Click detection in engine

Part specific definitions

[viral flame]

right, but I guarantee the core of the emulator is done in lua tables

[drifting ore]

Would be easier to just make it from scratch in Kalua

[viral flame]

the display and input could not be reused

the emulation engine could

[drifting ore]

Pretty sure Ik what you're talking about and its just pulling from a public GB emulation table

[viral flame]

like _G you mean?

easy enough to change how thats done

[brave cloak]

[cinder nebula]

Hi all. Is there a way to add more music to the game?

[brave cloak]

Take a look at True Music mod @ steam workshop

[cinder nebula]

Thank you. I'm not sure that is what I am looking for, though. I was hoping for music that just randomly plays while playing the game, or plays during appropriate times, like battle music when zombies approach.

[brave cloak]

Ah, I see

And it gives me errors.

[wooden falcon]

What is the deal with require statements? Specifically, what is the "starting path" for them? And can I require a file from my clients or shared directory if I'm currently in a file within the server directory? (If yes, how?) Thanks.

[quasi geode]

require syntax is basically without the lua/shared/ (or client / server) prefix on the path. as a general example, assuming your file is in lua/shared/MyFolder/MyFile.lua and you were calling the require from lua/client/ then you would use:

require "MyFolder/MyFile"

or

local MyFile = require("MyFolder/MyFile")

depending on if the file returns a value/table

for requiring files in different shared/client/server structure, its best to understand how the folders are loaded...first shared is loaded, then client files, and lastly server.
stuff in shared shouldnt require stuff in client. (not sure if its possible, doubt it)
stuff in shared or client can not require stuff in server (not possible, server folder doesnt exist on lua path at this point)
stuff in server shouldnt require stuff in client (this will fail in mp, servers dont load client files last i checked)
both client and server can freely require stuff in shared

side note: the first version of that require require "MyFolder/MyFile" is generally only useful to ensure a file gets loaded first, using this particular syntax to require a file in shared from client or server is basically redundant (since the file has already been loaded)

[wooden falcon]

thanks for the detailed explanation!

[lucid spindle]

Just wondering about createZombie(), spawnHorde(), createHordeInAreaTo(), createHordeFromTo(), etc.
Do these have a chance of creating the "special" zombies we sometimes see in an area? Like BaseballFan, Bandit, etc? Or can we only spawn them using addZombiesInOutfit() or similar??

[copper pumice]

how do I make something give you the pain thing in your head when you eat it

[dawn shuttle]

Where do you get the world position of every players in a server?

[tacit briar]

how does the getDay() function work in GameTime? Does it tick up at the start of day at 00:00 or?

[wooden falcon]

When I craft my item with materials that have low condition, my crafted item stats with low condition. Is it possible to specify that the crafted item should be full condition no matter what?

[copper pumice]

how would I make it so if I were to right click on the ground, it would give me an option to do something, then when I did that thing I would recieve an item in my inventory

like when you dig furrows and it gives you worms sometimes

[drifting ore]

hi guys

[thin hornet]

you want to hook into a TimedAction perform method

[thin hornet]

To add context menu when right clicking you need to use
Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu -> for clicking the world
and
Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu -> for clicking in inventory pane

[tranquil reef]

Is there a way to make moving items or something lol

[copper pumice]

Thanks

Is there a way I can make that context menu appear only on certain tiles

[thin hornet]

using Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu you will get a couple parameters

local function onFillWorldContext(player, context, worldobjects, test)
  --- context: is used to added menu item to the context menu
  --- worldobjects: is the world objects selected on that click
  --- player: is the player number
  local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player);
end
Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(onFillWorldContext);

[wooden falcon]

How do you check which item is select when in a Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu function? Does it get passed in as a paramter or something?

[thin hornet]

local function onFillInvContext(player, context, items)
end

[copper pumice]

thanks, basically im making an eat sand mod and I want players to be able to collect sand from the sand ground lmao

[thin hornet]

check at the vanilla functions to learn how to use it, OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu is special

[wooden falcon]

where do you get that info from?

[thin hornet]

search the game code

[wooden falcon]

ah okay ya i usually use the lua to find examples, but you dont get the function signatures for events

[thin hornet]

When i answer you guys here, im technically just doing quick search in the game code lol I dont know all that by heart

[wooden falcon]

you have the java disassembled as well, right?

[thin hornet]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua

i do yeah

[wooden falcon]

is it helpful?

[thin hornet]

for more deep research

[wooden falcon]

or are all the variable names just like var1 var2 etc

[thin hornet]

it is yeah it show alot of the inner stuff that usually cant be found in the lua

[wooden falcon]

do the java methods show actual names for the parameters?

[copper pumice]

also my item doesnt have an icon

[thin hornet]

variable name var1 is not that much of a problem, the logic is the most important

[copper pumice]

i have tried loads of different things

but it just keeps using a question mark as the icon

[thin hornet]

as long as we can see the var1 type etc and function names we can get to understand

[wooden falcon]

oh true explicit types are really nice for that. and having the function names available is clutch

[thin hornet]

all methods and variables are named, just the param are not

[copper pumice]

do i need to put Item_ before the sandblur on the icon section?

because thats what it is in game rn

[thin hornet]

not too hard to understand what does what in that code

[thin hornet]

try reloading the game

[copper pumice]

how can I make a custom worldstaticmodel

[copper pumice]

i have loads

[thin hornet]

well this seem right

[wooden falcon]

can you link your guide to disassembling the java?

[thin hornet]

https://github.com/Konijima/PZ-Libraries

Setup CAPSID > 4) Run Setup Workspace config
is the last step for the decompilation part

the rest of the tuto is for setting up and using intelliJ for making mods

[copper pumice]

how would I make it so my character gets pain in the head after eating the sand

[thin hornet]

something like

local head = playerObj:getBodyDamage():getBodyPart(BodyPartType.Head);
head:setStiffness(head:getStiffness() + 2.0);

[copper pumice]

Where would I put this code? I am quite new to most of this lol

[tight blade]

Is it required to decompile to say possibly add a custom moodle?
Like how Hunger and Stress show as moodles.
Or is the only way to do that to go the defecation mod's route? 🤔

[copper pumice]

Would it just be in my sand item text file

[thin hornet]

decompiling is only for researching how things works internally in the java side

[tight blade]

Hmm, so it'd still be a worth while investment to decompile to understand the moodles, which is good since ik I'll need it in near future at one point if friends ask about it.

But, it'd still be possible to add new moodles though? Just, no one done it though, right?

[thin hornet]

for custom moddle check the workshop i think there might be examples how to do it

Its not possible like vanilla does it

But there is a hackish way of doing it i think

would be nice to have some more modding capabilities on the moodles

[tight blade]

Gonna say, I know defecation has like a way of doing it, but like I'm not trying to add a new mechanic like that, just more "expand" with new moodles both positive and negative.

Otherwise, I'll have to see. Since only like maybe 3 mods at most that come close to "moodle" stuff that isn't a retexture.

And I agree, would be nice for more modding capabilities for moodles, but gotta take what we can I suppose. ^^

[thin elm]

Just wanted to come in here for a bit of clarification before I dig into a project I’ve been thinking of.

I’m pretty sure many people, if you’ve played multiplayer, know how annoying PVP is with the stunning and somewhat unfair and random gunplay. Would there be a possibility to change and or modify these effects. If someone has tried to dabble in these, I wouldn’t mind having a chat. Or if it already exists, send a workshop link. 🖤

[frosty falcon]

best way to reload and test your mod lua is to just quit and reload the save right?
guess I better have it on an ssd

[jaunty marten]

how to get name of sprite of object?

-- first file
local obj = IsoObject.new(square, "sprite.png")
-- another file
obj:getSprite()...?
obj:getSprite():getName() -- doesn't work. returns nil

:getSpriteName() doesn't work correctly :(

@thin hornet maybe u know (u seems genius in pz java ) but there's chance for IsoObject:getSpriteName() returns cached value and not just gets sprite and after return name of this sprite?

[thin hornet]

hum

let me check

local sprite = isoObject:getSprite();
if sprite then
  local objectSpriteName = sprite:getName();
end

thats how i do it

now depend what object you are trying to grab the sprite name

maybe it doesnt have a sprite?

[jaunty marten]

my problem is:
isoObject:getSprite():getName() - returns nil
isoObject:getSpriteName() - returns incorrect sprite (sprite render 1 sprite but from this func I got prev set sprite)
isoObject:getModData()["blablabla"] - returns correct sprite
rofl is I set sprite and save it into mod data literally in same time so there have to be same values but :getSpriteName() fked up

[thin hornet]

you create the object ok i see

i used to have problem with this, is it from a custom tile pack

[jaunty marten]

currently to solve this problem I saves sprite names in moddata
but for what this info in moddata xp

[thin hornet]

when you reload the save game

does the object stay

using F2 you can still the sprite info?

[jaunty marten]

after reload it's fine

seems :getSpriteName() returns incorrect value after I set sprite a few times in one tick

[thin hornet]

hum why you set the sprite multiple time in a single tick?

[jaunty marten]

exactly 1 or 2 times in one tick to be correct
creating pipes system with automatic-connect ones so neighboring pipes of cross one of main pipe calcs twice to have correct value

[jaunty marten]

with moddata works almost perfectly just need to polish

[thin hornet]

neat

this will let moving water from A to B?

[jaunty marten]

original idea was auto-irrigation with feature to add fertilizer in barrel to almost fully-automatise farm
but now I have really much ideas for it

[polar jetty]

Does anyone have a mod or know a mod that lets me use blind zombies? I don't know how to create custom mods, I have no programming experience or I would do it myself.

[livid cave]

Like to where they ignore you?

[polar jetty]

I mean, sound would still be dangerous. Just blindness

Me and a friend are doing a clicker playthrough, clicker sounds and faces.
Just want them blind to fit the experience

Or atleast, like blind enough where they can still track you, but not see you from a room away unless you make noise

[jaunty marten]

I have another idea to create wires system to generator works not in range but by wires but I'm not sure if it useful mod
but maybe if create feature to add custom lights/switches in built houses then it can have some impact

[livid cave]

Oh.

Sorry bud, cant help much on this one.

[static oyster]

Does anyone know how to give one type of zombie a different speed?
I was able to randomly spawn a skeletons instead of making all of the zombies skeletons, i was able to set it's health to very high while every other zombie HP is default, but I'm not able to set it's speed, whenever I do, every zombie in the game has the same speed

I know it might be possible since the game has the random feature for speed but somehow a boolean doesn't work

Well the boolean does work but the speed just changes for everyone still

I'm using getSandboxOptions():set("ZombieLore.Speed",1) .. i don't know which type of codes are there but i tried zombie:setSpeed, zombie:changeSpeed, these just give errors

[frosty falcon]

https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/zombie/characters/IsoZombie.html
speedMod perhaps?

[static oyster]

I think i tried it by looking at another mod, let me see

There's a speedType, so I wonder if zombie:speedType(number) idk will see once I'm on my computer

[frosty falcon]

it probably relates to shambler, fast shambler, sprinter, etc

if you want those, that will probably work

speedmod is a float

so 0.1 for 10%

I guess

[static oyster]

Yeah I just want to make these specific zombies to a specific speed with a specific health. Trying to make a new type of zombie, not really a special zombie but a new type, and since I know no other way to load a custom model I'm gonna replace the skeleton 3d model with something else too.. as along as speed is finally edited to only them

[polar jetty]

Is it possible someone could make a mod, or point me in the right direction to make a mod for zombies to be completely blind, or have enough site to be like a clicker from TLOU?
I have no programming knowledge, and everything I read literally looks like 20 different languages mixed into one for me

[little condor]

there's any object streamer settings?

like stream distance, amount etc

[reef rose]

hey 🙂 maybe here it is the location: it seems, that the game tilts every single texture/tile by a very small degree. a very slightly turn in the angle of the whole grid.
the game itself isn't accurate isometric. its grid is off a little.

in the editor it is perfectly lined up.

ingame, every single texture, floor, walls, etc.. is slightly tilted and overlaps

floor tiles even enlarge itself 1 row of pixels to N and W

anybody know why that's the case? a game engine thing, which can't be changed?

f.e i have to redraw all pavement tiles seen in pic2 on the right. i must darken the E and S row of pixels, because ingame those get overdrawn from the adjacent tiles and don't show.

[fallen inlet]

i dont know if this is supposed to happen or what

i have both brita weapon pack and arsenal26 activated but i can only seem to find guns from arsenal26 and barely any ammo for the guns i do find

pls help if anyone knows if this is supposed to happen or just a problem

[static oyster]

Is not there a in-game option for sight?

[polar jetty]

Only for Poor. Not blind

poor sight i still get spotted from across the road

[static oyster]

Sadly have no clue but I'm sure it should be possible

[frosty falcon]

I'm not sure if it even is...

CDDA zombies has
"Listener Z - Speed: Normal HP: Normal (Poor sight but sensitive ears)"
but it doesn't actually change the sight, it just enhances hearing

do you know any other mods that change zombies sight?

I can't see anything in javadoc for it

[polar jetty]

i mean there's 3 sight/sound values so it'd probably be possible to make another

[static oyster]

I think you would need to check something related to zombie to player distance detection

and hope that the distance detection is not the same for hearing and sight

[frosty falcon]

how are you going to override what the game does by default though

[frosty falcon]

hardcoded into the games java code I believe

you could make another, but I don't know how you'd make the game use it

[polar jetty]

and im not smart enough for that

im kinda surprised there's no option to make them completely blind though

[frosty falcon]

in IsoZombie:spotted(isomovingobject, boolean)
line 1572

the sandbox sight references

[sour island]

I'm fairly certain if the zombies were to be 100% blind they wouldn't be able to attack (code-wise)

You could tie into zombieUpdate() and forcibly erase their spotted object

Super Weird Helis does something similar - except it forces the closet player within the cell to be spotted instead

You'd have to figure out some heavy workarounds for this to work

If you can track how loud a player is you can use OnPlayerUpdate() to add them/remove them from a list of possible targets

and use OnZombieUpdate() to validate the target

I think that's how the Zombie Camo mod works

This so so satisfying lol

I need to figure out why the car loses so much more momentum tho

[frosty falcon]

is that the braking speed when you get out?

is it initiating the brakes?

[sour island]

most likely yes

current reading through the java to see where it triggers it

might be able to apply a force equal to what's being lost so it rolls as expected

[thin hornet]

if you find a way, could you make the character fall

like when he tripped over a fence and fall

[sour island]

Will be looking into that next

I'm thinking of copying the logic for fence hopping to begin with as a % to fall

or for a more simple approach - each level of nimble = 1mph, if your nimble is higher than the speed than you don't fall

and leave it at that

also need to change exiting while moving to require helddown

[thin hornet]

yeah if the car is not going too fast should be good

thats a dope idea bro

😄

its gonna feel like Project GTA

[sour island]

if it doesn't pan out I'm just leaving it at <= 3 mph

[willow estuary]

Here's some information about new Distribution features and such in these notes regarding build .72 unstable.
This will be temporarily pinned.

[sour island]

Don't think I can get it working - I figured out the java is setting physics to false, I tried applying it to true using ontick but it's not enough and only rolls a little bit

alternatively I could try setting it as being towed by something

or swap in a ghost driver

but I think that may cause more problems lol

[thin hornet]

lol

so you talking about the car keeping moving forward?

[sour island]

yeah, if there's no driver, isn't being towed or towing anything it's physics drops off after 3500 miliseconds

also don't see a way to force impulse

You have to be going max speed to get the same distance as just letting off the brake

there are other types of fall you can do

this is how i did it for slippery snow

[sour island]

local function stumble(player, speedKmHour)
    local nimbleLvl = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Nimble)
    local speed = math.abs(speedKmHour)
    player:clearVariable("BumpFallType")
    player:setBumpType("stagger")
    player:setBumpDone(false)
    player:setBumpFall(nimbleLvl < speed)
    player:setBumpFallType("pushedBehind")
end

Is it possible to mod vehicles to lose items from the trunk because a person forgot to close the trunk of a vehicle?

[brazen grove]

Hey all, I've never put custom zombies in the game before but I'm following Peaches guide and when defining the zombie he has:

    <m_items> <!-- White Zed Skin -->
        <itemGUID>9c87b588-b784-4560-bada-fd4cf7e44d48</itemGUID>
    </m_items>    

I was wondering, where do you find the GUID's for the different types of zombies? I know where to find clothes, items etc but I'm having no luck identifying where to find the zombies skin GUID

[sour island]

The skin is a clothing item if I'm not wrong

[brazen grove]

hmmm I'm having no luck finding where they are defined in clothes. I'll have another look

[sour island]

Are you able to see the outfits in the debug spawner?

[viral sierra]

Any of you know about the mod that adds useless fillers to containers? I really care about something like that because mods like "Ridiculously rare" reduce the number of items in the world by only 75% and someone told me it is limited by the creators of the game, I want something that will make the number of items really minimal, but not zero because exploring the city then makes no sense at all.

I admit that after many hours I would like to play a story where I am almost forced to eat rats and earthworms, but I would like to feel that I am able to find the holy grail in a supermarket or other place 😄

[sour island]

Have you played with 6 months later in addition to rare?

Most of the food would be rotten

[grim rose]

An improvement to the way in which mod errors are reported. A list of mods has been added to the pause menu, and whenever one is erroring out then it’ll be flagged within the list. This is going in alongside an improved lua error log that shows whether any files reported in call stacks are being overridden by mods. This should help modders and our support teams no end.

[sour island]

any files reported in call stacks are being overridden by mods
No modder should be naming their files exactly as vanilla files to begin with - and for good measure should include the name of their mod in the file name.

A more streamlined output would be nice tho

[sour island]

You wouldn't happen to know how to trigger the floppy roll animation from sprinting over fences would you?

[viral sierra]

@sour island
Actually, the food on the normal world also rots after a few days, but there are still a lot of cans and other non-perishable food, still too easy 😭 But it's not just about food, I'm playing on a insane amount of zombies and I'm still able to fill the cabinets on my own in about 10 days and be ready for a months of sedentary mode

[sour island]

No worries, I'll look harder

[fair lion]

looking for some mods, anyone know of some good mods for new jobs? already got the improved med job but cant find anything else

[static oyster]

Work around
Reduce the sight to something super small, few centimeters from themselves to almost 0, this way the sound system will do the job, they will always hear something and go to where the source of the sound was.
Then a work around for not attacking the player would be if possible he could detect if the player is crouching, walking or running, depending which one, you can enable and disable the normal sight, mimicking que "follow the sound" and enabling them to attack, then you could also use the zombie memory to the codes advantag, example...
Player is running then zombies detect by sound.
Sight enabled again, zombies follow the player.
Player suddenly crouches, remove sight, lose track of player object, go to where they remember last seeing or hearing the player

Something like that

Or even using zombie memory alone to achieve the same result.. i assume the "remember last place the player was seen" is a waypoint system

You can use the waypoint system to make zombies walk there, then somehow enable their attack behaviour as if the player was there.. this way they would truly be blind attacking the waypoint as if someone was actually there

[copper pumice]

how would I go around making a recipe for something already in the game?

i want to make a craft padlocks mod

[smoky meadow]

is there a LUA code for Burst firemod Option for Guns?

[static oyster]

jesus I still could not change speed for a single type of zombie.. if I change it either changes everyones speed or doesnt do anything

[copper pumice]

you know how it says that for carpentry

for giving xp

what would it be for metalworking

[copper pumice]

this is urgent

i have the format

i just want to know how to make it so you have to spend 3 scrap metal

and 2 metal sheets on a padlock

[cinder nebula]

Is there a mod that makes it so instead of needing to hold right-click before left-clicking to attack, while aiming with the mouse pointer, we can just left to attack and our character auto-faces/turns to wherever the mouse cursor is? If not, where may we make this suggestion to the devs? Thank you.

[heady crystal]

Anybody know if it's possible to get a vehicle's overall condition in LUA?

[copper pumice]

how can i use custom sounds for recipies

[cosmic condor]

module Base
{
    imports
    {
        Base
    }

    recipe Make Padlock
    {
        ScrapMetal = 3,
        SheetMetal = 2,

        Result:Padlock,
        Sound:Padlock,
        Time:100,
        Category:Survivalist,
    }
}

[copper pumice]

thank you so much

[keen cape]

Math can be hard unrelated, just saying, statement

[copper pumice]

you know the time:100 thing? is what does the time go by? is it seconds? minutes?

[cosmic condor]

put in media\sound and edit the Sound:Padlock,

[copper pumice]

sweet thank you

[thin hornet]

its more like ticks or something like that its also scaled with timescale but its clearly not seconds.

[copper pumice]

ah okay

is this the correct thing for a combonationpadlock?

or is it named by something else

[sour island]

Soon ™

[cosmic condor]

not vanilla?

[copper pumice]

wdym

[cosmic condor]

the combination padlock is your item, right?

[copper pumice]

no

i just want people to be able to craft padlocks

cus its hard to find em

i have made a seperate recipe for combo padlocks

but i was wondering if they were just called combinationpadlocks in code

like that

ok i have explained this confusingly

[copper pumice]

sweet thanks

how do I make it so you need a required skill to make it

[cosmic condor]

Sorry, I don't have a chance to play the game much. I have no idea if the item is from the base game or mods.

[copper pumice]

no no dont worry i was a bit confused lol

how do i make the recipies have a seperate category

[copper pumice]

not urgent might add it later on in the mod

just to know

[cosmic condor]

 recipe Make Pan
    {
       IronIngot=30,
       keep BallPeenHammer,
       keep Tongs,

       NearItem:Anvil,
       Result:Pan,
       Time:220.0,
       Category:Smithing,
       SkillRequired:Blacksmith=2,
       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.Blacksmith20,
       OnCreate:BSItem_OnCreate,
       NeedToBeLearn:true,
    }

[copper pumice]

is blacksmith metalworking?

[cosmic condor]

I have no idea lol
you should try

[copper pumice]

yeah im loading it up rn

[cosmic condor]

learn from the recipe code in ProjectZomboid\media\scripts\recipes.txt

[copper pumice]

oh yeah forgot about that

thanks for your help

[viral flame]

this games code base is something to behold sometimes

[thin hornet]

i wish Zombies value 6 would allow for spawning zombies manually.

[viral flame]

this specific code does nothing tho

[thin hornet]

setting zombie pop to 0 prevent zombies completely

[copper pumice]

how do I give a recipie an icon

[viral flame]

literally is just the bottom line, all possible branches get overridden by it

[thin hornet]

recipe do not have icons, they show the items

[copper pumice]

actually thing my game is bugging

works for one

[thin hornet]

Is your Combination Lock item icon showing correctly when in inventory?

when messing with textures sometime restarting the game completely fixes it.

[copper pumice]

yeah ill check

[copper pumice]

how do i make it so you need metalworking to craft an item?

i did this

but it just lets me craft it with no requirements

[thin hornet]

its MetalWelding

as weird is it is

SkillRequired:MetalWelding=3,

[copper pumice]

ah okay

thank you

[copper pumice]

how do I make it so they will need a propane torch and welder mask to craft it?

[acoustic dagger]

is this channel only for discussing mod creation or can i ask for mod suggestions too

[copper pumice]

or will it auto do it seems as you need the metalworking skill

[willow estuary]

#mod_support is intended for any cases where someone who is using a mod needs helps, but otherwise you're welcome to discuss pretty much anything related to mods here? 🙂

[acoustic dagger]

ah thank you

[copper pumice]

why wont it let me craft it lol

it is being strange

once i fix this i can release the mod

does any1 know whats wrnog with it

[viral spire]

With mods like the Susceptible Trait, does that mean it's possible to create a fungus mod (The Last of Us) that allows an active fungal infection/spores?

[copper pumice]

its still doing it

does anyone have an idea

on why this is being fucky

i gotta release this mod in like 10 minutes

wait I know why

[cosmic condor]

have you tried clicking DBG: Give ingredients?

[jaunty gate]

"SmallMetalSheet" in your recipe should be "SmallSheetMetal"

[copper pumice]

yeah thats why it wasnt working

thanks

[worldly dagger]

I have been having trouble finding a "easy" to follow/understand/mod-along video/text doc for creating and importing your own models and stats and behavior for unique zombies. I have found that rather lacking in the workshop so I wanted to try my hand and give back to the community. Anyone who could point me in a direction? I have checked the forums and done some googleing but cant say I have found a good place to start.
I also checked the pzwiki but I cant say I found what I was looking for

Should I just go through https://projectzomboid.com/modding/ and kind of wing it with the reference of the different classes?

[drifting ore]

wut

[frosty falcon]

download cdda zombies and take a look at the code
or the deaths knell zombies mod too

[worldly dagger]

thank you very much! I'll have a look!

[shadow geyser]

try rereading whatever give that recipe. The recipes are saved on the character, so it can be kinda funky when a existing recipe is modified. usually reading the book that gives the recipe fixes it, but if you get it for free, im not sure how to fix that. but try with a new char

[latent orchid]

Need some help understanding why my item properties are not sticking upon exit and reload. My code is adding an item to the players inventory and then breaks it. But when I reload, the item is no longer broken. Is there a specific step I am missing or is this change not allowed when creating new items on the fly?

    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player)
    local playerInv = playerObj:getInventory()
    local itemName = configInfo.InstalledItem
    local removedItem = playerObj:getInventory():AddItem(itemName)
    if configInfo.IsBrokenItem == true then
        for i = 1,playerInv:getItems():size() do
            local item = playerInv:getItems():get(i-1)
            if item:getFullType() == itemName then
                playerInv:getItems():get(i-1):setBroken(true)
                break
            end
        end
    end

I've tried several ways of editing the item, but all seem to discard the broken flag I set when reloading 😦

[thin hornet]

is is possible that you also need to set its condition to zero?

[latent orchid]

Thanks, that did the trick. So I'm better off setting the condition than the broken flag

[sour island]

Anyone know what file contains controls? Looking for "E" to use vehicles. I found the function for OnUse in Vehicles but it's not called anywhere 🤔

nvm figured it out - it's called in java

hm

function VehicleUtils.OnUseVehicle(character, vehicle, pressedNotTapped)
    pressedNotTapped = false;
    if character:getVehicle() == vehicle then
        if pressedNotTapped then
            if vehicle:isDriver(character) and vehicle:isEngineWorking() then
                if vehicle:isEngineRunning() then
                    ISVehicleMenu.onShutOff(character)
                else
                    ISVehicleMenu.onStartEngine(character)
                end
            end
        else
            ISVehicleMenu.onExit(character)
        end
    else
        local part = vehicle:getUseablePart(character)
        if part then
            VehicleUtils.callLua(part:getLuaFunction("use"), vehicle, part, character)
            return
        end
        local seat = vehicle:getBestSeat(character)
        if seat == -1 then return end
        ISVehicleMenu.onEnter(character, vehicle, seat)
    end
end

Why is pressedNotTapped set to false?

Holding down E to grab the keys/turn off the car would be a nice feature

[frosty falcon]

hmm, with the door closed? would make sense it has to be open first

oh you mean inside the car

[sour island]

yes

holding down E would also start the car on enter too

[frosty falcon]

hold e to turn off the engine would be nice indeed

at the mo its just hitting N iirc?

[sour island]

I just tap W

[frosty falcon]

turn engine off and get out in one

[sour island]

I didn't know that was a thing

[frosty falcon]

that would make me want to hold E

yea, good find and ideas

[sour island]

I hate taking the key with me though

[frosty falcon]

I like

in MP I always keep it for obvious reasons

[sour island]

tempted to include this in my mod but it's out of scope

hm N turns the key if in and off, but pulls out if on

kind of wish it was just used for turning

[daring zinc]

Beginner modding question, is it possible to override certain game functions via Lua? (i.e. IsoPlayer::getUsername)

[thin hornet]

you cannot override a java object cause that object is not a lua table

what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Allow empty bottles to store gasoline```

👀

[daring zinc]

trying to make it so players show up with the name "Concealed" to other players when wearing a balaclava

not sure if there's any particular way to do this other than literally setting their name when they equip a balaclava

but that's annoying since you have to save their previous name, etc

[sour island]

You can abuse clientside code for that probably

[thin hornet]

did you try player:setUsername("");

might not hide it for other players tho

[daring zinc]

I'm specifically saying I don't want to change the username, just display it differently

[thin hornet]

Yeah well im trying to find a way to display it differently but its all java hardcoded

you could use ShowFirstAndLastName and change the forename for the username and set the surname to nothing

then you can just change that forename at will

also how do you want to display the name in chat if conceal

[daring zinc]

I don't care about the chat

more-so just about the name above their head

[sour island]

If you use setusername and make sure it's only on clientside (unless setusername knows to transmit data) this should work

also you could turn off usernames can't you?

[daring zinc]

yeah you could turn off usernames but that's not ideal since that changes it for all players

I'll have to test the clientside setUsername option though, might be useful

[sour island]

looks like it natievly sends data to the server

you could try to replicate the username system instead

and just turn off vanilla ones

[daring zinc]

how would I go about doing that?

[sour island]

not sure where the display is handled but you'd basically have to translate the java to lua

[thin hornet]

yeah i cant seem to find where that username is rendered

Ah so its in IsoGameCharacter

[sour island]

this is the method (function) in java

[daring zinc]

is this in IsoGameCharacter?

[sour island]

IsoGameCharacter, yes

[thin hornet]

but this doesnt render it

its just update its value

[sour island]

   protected void initTextObjects() {
      this.hasInitTextObjects = true;
      if (this instanceof IsoPlayer) {
         this.chatElement.setMaxChatLines(5);
         if (IsoPlayer.getInstance() != null) {
            System.out.println("FirstNAME:" + IsoPlayer.getInstance().username);
         }

         this.isoPlayer = (IsoPlayer)this;
         if (this.isoPlayer.username != null) {
            this.userName = new TextDrawObject();
            this.userName.setAllowAnyImage(true);
            this.userName.setDefaultFont(UIFont.Small);
            this.userName.setDefaultColors(255, 255, 255, 255);
            this.updateUserName();
         }

         if (this.haloNote == null) {
            this.haloNote = new TextDrawObject();
            this.haloNote.setDefaultFont(UIFont.Small);
            this.haloNote.setDefaultColors(0, 255, 0);
            this.haloNote.setDrawBackground(true);
            this.haloNote.setAllowImages(true);
            this.haloNote.setAllowAnyImage(true);
            this.haloNote.setOutlineColors(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.33F);
         }
      }

   }

it's just creating a new textdraw object

the updating changes it to say what it needs to

[thin hornet]

line 5599

[sour island]

ah there too

I think renderlast handles the fact the names disappear sometimes

for example mouse over

[thin hornet]

yeah it also render last so it appear over everything else

well yeah the only possible way would be to turn off default name rendering

and make a UI element to show name over people head but might not be as efficient tho

plus you need to calculate the world coordinate to screen position and check if the player is actually visible in line of sigh and also if the cursor is over him or near

[sour island]

you'd have control over it but it would be a wild amount of work

[thin hornet]

would be easier to request a feature on the forum and cross your fingers lol

or if you dont need the characters firstname/lastname then you use ShowFirstAndLastName=true and override those forname and surname to what ever you need.

[sour island]

show firstlastname overrides username display?

[thin hornet]

you can have both true and it will show both

[Admin] Konijima (Bob Marley)

[sour island]

hm

[thin hornet]

lol

Because im working mostly to make a rp server i mostly only use character name everywhere

but still use username for identifying in the background cause those first/last name are not uniques

if you use Buffy's roleplay chat https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2688851521 you can also have the character names show in chat.

--- Using server setting -> ShowFirstAndLastName=true
function ConcealName(player)
  player:getDescriptor():setForename("[Concealed]");
  player:getDescriptor():setSurname("");
end

function UnconcealName(player)
  player:getDescriptor():setForename(player:getUsername());
  player:getDescriptor():setSurname("");
end

pretty hackish

[willow estuary]

Clever solution though.
This is for balaclavas and masks?

[thin hornet]

yeah

could even show no name at all if the face is covered

player:getDescriptor():setForename("");
player:getDescriptor():setSurname("");

that could actually be a sandbox setting for admin to decide what ever he desire

[willow estuary]

With not displaying a name, I get concerned about players becoming invisible when in vehicles/behind fences? But that's also with the context that I like low-rules PVP MP, so not a universal concern.

[sour island]

anyone use better lockpicking mod before? I assume the v menu has the option to lockpick cars?

[daring zinc]

yeah I think some name should still be displayed ideally

just not their actual name

question marks/concealed/unknown/etc

or at least that was my idea originally

[willow estuary]

Question marks was how I was planning on doing it when we were talking about the same thing for my server a whiles back 😄

[thin hornet]

a version where you would want to use the character names

--- Using server setting -> ShowFirstAndLastName=true
function ConcealName(player)
  local modData = player:getModData();
  if not modData.isNameConcealed then
    local descriptor = player:getDescriptor();
    modData.originalNames = {
      first = descriptor:getForename(),
      last = descriptor:getSurname();
    };
    descriptor:setForename("[Concealed]");
    descriptor:setSurname("");
    modData.isNameConcealed = true;
  end
end

function UnconcealName(player)
  local modData = player:getModData();
  if modData.isNameConcealed then
    local descriptor = player:getDescriptor();
    descriptor:setForename(modData.originalNames.first);
    descriptor:setSurname(modData.originalNames.last);
    modData.isNameConcealed = false;
  end
end

[daring zinc]

:getModData() is a thing?! LOL okay this solves so many problems

is it persistent?

[thin hornet]

it is yeas

its also only visible to that player its non-transmitable

[daring zinc]

Wonderful then

[willow estuary]

This is silly, but it could be fun, where there was an option to disply the name of the mask when a player has their identity obfuscated by one? ie [Clown Mask]

[daring zinc]

Ah, why not

[thin hornet]

yeah thats neat

kind of explain why you dont see the name some people could think wtf is going on (is it a bug i dont see its name)

now we just need the whole collection of hotline miami masks

[sour island]

Hmmmm... showRadialMenu clears() itself... my mod and another mod overwriting safely are actually clearing in between calls...

[willow estuary]

Or to get even deeper in server-bespoke stuff, faction masks that change the name to something faction-y when wearing the mask, like Raider, or even Raider Officer for specific faction ranks.

[thin hornet]

man that new EmptyPetrol tag feature is a life saver, ill have to update FuelAPI now

less hacking

Tags = EmptyPetrol,
ReplaceTypes = PetrolSource PetrolPopBottle;WaterSource WaterPopBottle,

so clean hehe pretty much what fuel api was doing so i can now go full vanilla instead!!

[willow estuary]

👍

[sour island]

tags are under utilized

[willow estuary]

Yeah. hopefully ReplaceTypes will make mod liquid stuff more easy all round?

[sour island]

Liquids should eventually become their own object imo

[thin hornet]

is there anything else we can do with ReplaceTypes ?

or for now only PetrolSource and WaterSource are valid keywords

[willow estuary]

I think with the vanilla functions you can send, just off the top of my head here, item:getReplaceType(STRING) and it will return whatever item you have defined in the replaceTypes field that matches the string?

I didn't make that particular code/parameter; but I think if I have BleachSource SOMETHINGBOTTLE in that parameter + have custom context code that checks for BleachSource it should work?

So it should be open season on keywords? Just gotta build the code that uses the new keyword.

[thin hornet]

   public void setReplaceOnUseOn(String var1) {
      this.ReplaceOnUseOn = var1;
   }

   public String getReplaceOnUseOn() {
      return this.ReplaceOnUseOn;
   }

   public String getReplaceOnUseOnString() {
      String var1 = this.getReplaceOnUseOn();
      if (var1.split("-")[0].trim().contains("WaterSource")) {
         var1 = var1.split("-")[1];
         if (!var1.contains(".")) {
            String var10000 = this.getModule();
            var1 = var10000 + "." + var1;
         }
      }

      return var1;
   }

   public String getReplaceTypes() {
      return this.getScriptItem().getReplaceTypes();
   }

   public HashMap getReplaceTypesMap() {
      return this.getScriptItem().getReplaceTypesMap();
   }

   public String getReplaceType(String var1) {
      return this.getScriptItem().getReplaceType(var1);
   }

   public boolean hasReplaceType(String var1) {
      return this.getScriptItem().hasReplaceType(var1);
   }

wondering how we handle the replacement tho

seems like the bottle of gas has the tag Tags = Petrol,

but that tag pretty much used to detect if its a petrol container with petrol inside

[willow estuary]

Tags aren't essential for ReplaceType, but in this instance the code uses the tag to detect a petrol container?
I don't believe ReplaceTypes are hardcoded in any sense.

[thin hornet]

local newType = emptyCan:getReplaceType("PetrolSource") or "Base.PetrolCan"
self.petrolCan = chr:getInventory():AddItem(newType)

thats how it work neat!

so yeah like you said using getReplaceType we can do alot now

[sour island]

Going to be pushing this out real soon, but any opinions on the new and improved poster?

[willow estuary]

Yeah, the way it worked out is that for Petrol, and in theory mod stuff, you would use a Tag to find/detect a container, and then use the ReplaceType to determine what container that substance would go into?

One could also just use getReplaceType to evaluate items, but Tags have better function support in general.

[thin hornet]

Cant wait to test this out man!

[thin hornet]

I commented like 8 files in FuelAPI cause i dont need to hook into anything from now on!

[sour island]

If I did the math right, 100% protection will afford a 90% damage reduction at the cost of the clothes

but that will probably still be death over 60mph

[thin hornet]

I will sure throw myself out all the time just for the sake of it.

Just coz i can

[sour island]

Working on lowering the penalty for exiting normally too

going to try and allow people to exit while moving safely

[thin hornet]

Could add a sandbox settings dropdown with like 4 options. To choose how much damage its multiplied by (none, low, medium, high)

[sour island]

it already ties in injury severity

I meant to look into allow fractures sandbox

it's not named the same thing in sandboxvars

ty for reminding me

Can't actually find bone fractures within sandboxVars

hm

Takes some getting used to

[thin hornet]

is there someone driving?

[willow estuary]

I think getReplaceType could have broader applicability than just liquids; in theory one could use it to determine what kind of shell casing a certain ammunition type will cause a gun to eject for a gun mod?

Although ReplaceOnUse could work for that as well 😄

Maybe for "clothing lego" where you combine clothing items?

Anyways, it definitely has broad potential applicability.

[thin hornet]

Yeah for sure, also maybe something like AlcoholSource, JuiceSource, and stuff for the liquids mainly

Real quick i dont get much idea what to do with it but it may come with time

For now im very happy that fuel item has been overhauled

[sour island]

Was on co-op -- I don't think I can get the car to operate on idle

[willow estuary]

Well, really it's just a table of keys and values, so I'm sure imaginative people could think of things with it I never imagined.

[thin hornet]

Can you jump out while on cruise ?

[sour island]

yes, it was on cruise at 5mph

[thin hornet]

no way haha

[craggy furnace]

looks like you were late for the bus

[thin hornet]

Gosling go back to the place beyond the pines

[craggy furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/foucs15gi-fs-the-place-beyond-the-pines-the-place-beyond-the-pines-gifs-ryan-gosling-tears-gif-8603606

i would like to see if i can make some more animations to match gear shifting/driving wheel turning

[thin hornet]

xD

maybe a fliiping the bird anim

driveby anim

[craggy furnace]

not too sure about shooting animations, i dont like switching between states very much

[thin hornet]

smoking a cig anim

[craggy furnace]

smoking, flipping the bird, and being bored is doable

[thin hornet]

sleeping

[craggy furnace]

yep

[thin hornet]

neat bro neat

[craggy furnace]

yeah, the code is chuck but the anims are mine and the vehicle is cytts

[thin hornet]

thats team work

https://tenor.com/view/glitter-fabulous-confetti-surprise-people-who-like-their-own-status-gif-11341240

[craggy furnace]

the real work is gonna be twisting back passengers for trucks

no idea how i am gonna make that work atm

[thin hornet]

do you think its possible to have multi-interactible anim

like two player handshake

[craggy furnace]

yes

getting them to do it reliably would be a nightmare

[thin hornet]

thats be dope to add a couple stuff like that, maybe a confirm box to accept the handshake

[craggy furnace]

id do it similiarly how halo CE did it

they grabbed the two actors and lined the anims

[willow estuary]

There absolutely needs to be a high 5 emote that provokes a quick time action in the subject that allows them to reciprocate; leave them hanging; or fake them out.

[craggy furnace]

ill be screwing with tag teaming some day when i feel like it

id like to grab two players and make them square dance

[thin hornet]

Imagine holding someone on your shoulder

carrying

but thats an whole different story

[craggy furnace]

something that i know for sure thats doable is players carrying each other

lot of work though

[thin hornet]

oh really

[craggy furnace]

yeah

i wouldnt be able to do the sync work but yes its doable

i dont even wanna think about what carrying another player in MP would be like

[thin hornet]

right

well if we can move someone else (to our local client only) then we can just kind of tell player move that one on top of the other one

without having to worry about sync

[craggy furnace]

id wager this is something that will come to vanilla eventually

[thin hornet]

so we just say to all clients hey this dude is carrying this dude, so move his character on top of where ever the other is

But the vanilla character sync might mess that up

[craggy furnace]

yeah, again i dont even wanna venture down into that as id rather stay in my lane since its such a headache

[thin hornet]

yeah and not that usefull (for now)

Maybe something like Blair did with the carry corpse lol generic model for player would look bad tho

[craggy furnace]

it would look awful

[thin hornet]

xD

its perfect for corpse but yeah

[craggy furnace]

i applaud the effort but unless you can get a corpse to stay in form i find it a waste

its like carrying a mannequin

[thin hornet]

well its carrying a bodybag

at least you dont get dirty

[craggy furnace]

i recently revived body bags

i pushed them recently too

its old stuff from a mod chuck and myself abandoned

[thin hornet]

yo thats dope

did you need bodybag in inventory to bag them

kind of stuff youd find in a morgue

So i supose bagging them also removed the sickness buff from being next to them

[craggy furnace]

yep

the bags are still a WIP

just a way to bag them or dead player zombies for later

saves the flavor

[thin hornet]

thats not something i would use in a zombie server but in a RP server that would give some depth to the paramedic

[craggy furnace]

yep thats the idea

just paramedic loot

[sour island]

they also prevent the sickness you get from exposed dead bodies

[copper pumice]

carpentry is called woodwork in code right?

[reef rose]

the game automatically places street_overlays on the vanilla asphalt tiles and light gravel. if i place floor overlays above those, the cracks are generated, too. when i replace the asphalt with my own, those overlays aren't generated anymore and i can't find the lua, which does that
any ideas?

somewhere is a link to those cracks and erosion overlays, which depend on vanilla streets

[thin hornet]

Letsss roll! Literaly

[smoky carbon]

someone should make a gas huffing mod just a suggestion

could add some use to gasoline if u don't have a car

[tulip valve]

Drives into a massive horde, tuck and rolls

[smoky carbon]

or roleplay as a junkie i guess

[thin hornet]

roleplay as a roleplayer in pz rp

[fiery pecan]

is there a way to run a snippet of code for a car, and only that car, AND only when it spawns (one time only)?

[thin hornet]

A vehicle is a child of IsoObject so technically it got a ModData. You can use that ModData to save a variable that will persist for that vehicle.

[fiery pecan]

hmm

[thin hornet]

For getting the car when its loaded in one client Im not sure yet, i dont know if its like other IsoObject.

[fiery pecan]

it's worth a shot?

also, I've yet to dabble in ModData.

[undone crag]

Hey how about a mod where you live in attics and travel from roof to roof using a ladder yeah good idea oh no technically impossibru oh ok :<

[smoky carbon]

bruh what

[fiery pecan]

you got any ideas yet fam?

Aaaand I sounded demanding there. My apologies

[undone crag]

bruh

[fiery pecan]

after looking at BaseVehicle on the javadocs, I found this.
public boolean addedToWorld Does that help at all?

[smoky carbon]

don't get how that would be imposible can't you do that in the base game

just without ladders

[versed grail]

is it possible to look at other mods code? i'm trying to learn some basics and want to see how other mods work

[drifting ore]

hi i want to delete this

    id = "LongGunOnBack",
    chance = 30,
    outfit = {"SharkBlackSWAT","SharkBlackSWATRiot","SharkBlackSWATBelt,","SharkBlueSWAT","SharkBlueSWATBelt","SharkGreenSWAT","SharkGreenSWATBelt","SharkGreenSWATRiot","SharkGreenSWATGasMask,","SharkGreenSWATBelt","SharkBlueSWATRiot","SharkBlueSWATGasMask"},
    weaponLocation =  {"Rifle On Back"},
    bloodLocations = nil,
    addHoles = false,
    daySurvived = 0,
    weapons = {
        "Base.AssaultRifle",
        "Base.AssaultRifle2",
        "Base.Shotgun",
    },
}```

the weapons table

can i just do this?

table.remove(AttachedWeaponDefinitions["LongGunOnBack"].weapons,2); 
table.remove(AttachedWeaponDefinitions["LongGunOnBack"].weapons,1);```

it seems tow rok

[jaunty marten]

[willow estuary]

This should work

AttachedWeaponDefinitions.LongGunOnBack = {}

But if other code references it it may throw errors.

[random finch]

I am attempting to add clothing that makes a character model invisible. I've been experimenting, but can someone please lead me in the right direction?

[versed grail]

thank you!

[jaunty marten]

will better

AttachedWeaponDefinitions.LongGunOnBack = {}

[jaunty marten]

wtf

I need it

[undone crag]

Masks make parts of the model invisible. #modeling message

[halcyon marlin]

what is the best way to search on the project zomboid modding API (https://projectzomboid.com/modding/). I specifically am looking for a method that can check if a body is a human body instead of a zombie body.

[tacit briar]

How does the code go about changing day when midnight hits? Im using another function in EveryDays event and the days dont progress anymore, I've tried doing zombie.GameTime:setDay((zombie.GameTime:getDay() + 1)); which I know is wrong but not sure how to do it right

[halcyon marlin]

adding on to this, I found IsoDeadBody in the API which conveniently has a bool wasCorpseAlready (which im thinking is for bodies that spawned in when the chunk generated) in the constructor but no field that correlates to it?? if I could get this value then it would be fantastic but it doesnt even inherit a field like that

[jaunty marten]

https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.65/

[jaunty marten]

I'm not sure about that but u can reanimate the corpse so maybe wasCorpseAlready returns true after this action

[drifting ore]

funnily enough using what i did actually worked too lol

i want to specifically remove the weapons part

not delete the whole table
