Can I Survive in Project Zomboid When THE FLOOR IS LAVA? | Ep 1

Hi, I’m trying to learn to mod, does anyone have any tutorials for modding? I tried blackbeards tutorials on YouTube but they didn’t work for me.

sage bluff
#

oh lol, i meant to make mods

#

ok

If you have an idea of what you want to do you can ask here. We may be able to point you in the right direction.

#

also you will find all the mod you have subscribed to here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600

sage bluff
#

Ok thanks

#

Also, I tried making a mod a while ago, I put the mod into the mods folder and it did come up in the mods section but wasn’t enabling

#

Do you know why this happened?

thin hornet
#

You can copy/paste C:\Users\<user>\Zomboid\Workshop\ModTemplate into C:\Users\<user>\Zomboid\Workshop and rename it to your mod name and also rename the mods info in both workshop.txt and mod.info.

I need a little help by any experienced coder, something i think should be simple for the ones that know best..

#

the vehicle id in the log also differs for every log made, which is very weird

thin hornet
static oyster
#

and I think its due to my inexperience with coding and or 0 experience with lua even tho its similar do c#

#

one of the things not allowing me to complete is.. let me see how to better word everything

#

if my character is moving the player is detected and the zombies starts to follow it, but as soon as I sneak / stop moving.. its like the player is magically gone.. the zombies will stop immediately (because of the zombie:setUseless), I tried using a boolean for that but as you probably guessed

#

the boolean is always being set true and false

#

I would need to show you the code for you to understand it better tbh

#

I'm using a combination of character modes (isSneaking, isMoving, isRunning) and a distance check between zombie and player + setUseless to achieve a fake blind zombie behaviour

#

again.. it works.. if you sneak and walk by them.. its like they are blind.. but if you run they will notice you and run after you, the problem is.. if you stop, they also stop

#

I want them to keep following the character

thin hornet
#

You could add a "delay" like you increment a variable that say how long the player has been sneaking and if that number is higher than X then set the zombie back to blind

#

You can dm me with some code ill check with you

Is there a way to modify the player's movement speed? I read that the run speed modifier on clothing items got disabled a few months ago and so even though items can say they have a run speed modifier, they don't actually. Is there any other way that a mod could adjust the player's movement speed?

does anyone know any gun mods that don't add too many guns, but simply adds a couple guns to each caliber.

No I do not

Not for the mod that I am doing

But thank you @winter bolt , I think you nudged me to the right direction

you just need to make fileguidtable.xml in the media folder and then add in the stuff you need from the original file

Howdy, folks. Taking a break from struggling to get the darn jacket working and have a question regardin' evolv'd recipes. As an example, I'm creating some knock-off Lunchables for my mod and have given the pizza variants the ability to add various ingredients. I'm wanting to make the sauce packet have three uses, and so would've thought EvolvedRecipe = PIPizza:3, would do that, though it doesn't seem to do very much. I could give it three packets, but I'd prefer for it to just have one single packet with three uses. Is there another means to accomplish that? Is the fact that the sauce gives very little nutritional value the problem?

@deft falcon, apologies for the ping. I've been looking at your MoreTraits repo to figure out how to add Sandbox options, but it doesn't seem to be adding the options to my sandbox menu. The defaults do seem to apply, however.

legit no idea

#

Hm

#

Do mod sandbox options show up in singleplayer saves on world creation?

Was about to give it a try

yea they should

Let's see

yea all text is what it should be

#

no missing , either

#

legitimately have no idea whats up

#

have you remembered to restart pz

#

or reload lua

#

try restarting pz

#

Tried that already

what the fuck

#

i legitimately have no idea how thats possible

#

im comparing ur code to mine and theres no difference (apart from the names ofc)

pulsar rock
#

I wonder if I did a typo somewhere hmm

#

Though

deft falcon
#

nah

pulsar rock
#

The defaults are applying (I verified this)

#

This is wack

#

So, the settings are working

#

Just not... showing up

#

This channel is about creating mods

there are no missing quotes or commas

And ammo loot abundant?

These settings are from media\lua\client\LastStand\Kingsmouth.lua

I think those names correlate with the java file's setting's names.

anyone knows how to reload a mod that is being edited in real time

it takes to reload the game and i jist want to slowly learn while scripting

is there a way to do this that is applicable to the latest version

im just modding items and traits no maps involved thnx in advance

shadow geyser
# ancient grail anyone knows how to reload a mod that is being edited in real time it takes to...

depends on the file. alot of lua files that just declare functions can be reloaded from the f11 menu in debug mode. just need to search for the file in that browser and press reload. but if it is lua code that adds/modifies lua objects in some particular ways, you have to just reload the game. I guess you could technically write alot of code to handle to lua env to make it as if you reloaded in those cases, but that would be alot of work. as for scripts like the ones defining recipes and items, I don't know how you would reload them other than exiting and reentering the world. I think traits are in that section of lua stuff that would need a reload since I think they are just defined in lua, but handled by java. although I may be wrong.

ancient grail
shadow geyser
#

yes. alot of lua stuff can just be reloaded but not all. and with any .txt files you are shit out of luck to my knowledge

ancient grail
#

ok thnx for the infos i guess i dont have a choice but to write the code neatly. i mean im still experimenting so its kind of hard

shadow geyser
#

just to give a couple examples of the lua stuff that can't just be reloaded. Functions which you then give the function to an event handler, it won't be enough to reload the file unless you have addition lua code to remove the old one from the event handler. although maybe you could do some funky stuff with local imports inside the functions to handle that but Im not sure. UI stuff also are all created once in the beginning so extra stuff would be needed to make sure they are created properly. Ive never looked into how possible that is to do in lua though so idk if there is a work around there. Distribution changes can't just be reloaded, unless you properly remove the additions from the previous load of the file. there probably is more but I can't think of them atm

personally i prefer vanilla expansion because it keeps added guns limited to a few but they're very intentional additions and they fit better alongside the original guns. it also adds tweaks to existing vanilla weapons (i.e. 1911 actually looks like a 1911, bolt action guns have 5 shots and an integral magazine, etc

hello, in a weapon how can I remove the option to place in primary hand?

Weapons can't be used from the second hand - what kind of mod are you making?

wooden lodge
#

Hello, could someone help me out with making an item that teleports you back to your safehouse once consumed?
Please ✉️ DM me directly as I'll most likely miss this here due to a busy schedule. Thank you in advance.

sour island
#

I feel like Aza made something like that already

azure rivet
#

Reminds me of the Magic Mirror from Terraria.

wooden lodge
#

Yes, we really need it. We're hosting events a lot and offering people TP to and back from the area is a bit ... stressful for staff

#

Giving an item to people to just poof and go back to their safehouse... Would be way better.

azure rivet
#

and it does not help me to put it in the right since it is placed with the wrong orientation.

azure rivet
wooden lodge
#

Exactly, it would make things so much easier and I'm sure a one way ticket back to safehouse isn't that hard to code either I'm just too dumb with those things

thin hornet
#

So technically
thats how you get teleported

-- On the client, when received from the server
player:setX(x);
player:setY(y);
player:setZ(z);
player:setLx(x);
player:setLy(y);
player:setLz(z);
#

but that will definitively kick you if you use it just like that from a client.

wooden lodge
#

The goal would be an item to eat that will teleport player X to their safehouse and player Y to their safehouse, not everyone to the same location

#

Just like when you're an Admin and you check the Safehouse List and use "Teleport"

thin hornet
#

admin teleport is all done using admin commands

#

something that cant be done for a regular player

wooden lodge
#

So there's no way to make a teleporter that teleports people back to their safehouse when consuming? It would help so much.
Teleporting 30 people back to their safehouse is a hassle

thin hornet
wooden lodge
#

What about adding a command to this:

#

Like the option you get when an admin right clicks in the Mini Scoreboard

thin hornet
wooden lodge
#

Instead of Teleport or Teleport To You, is there no way to add a Teleport to Safehouse?

#

So admins could at least "send" people back to thei rSafehouse that way

#

That would be a different approach

thin hornet
#

Im researching but real quick i cant think of any situation where a player teleport

#

might be worth check the RV Interior mod

#

and see how he teleport player inside the RV

wooden lodge
#

Adding an option to teleport people to their Safehouse wold probably be a good point to start
Why not add it to the vnailla game hmmmm haha

thin hornet
#

the respawn at safehouse is different its not a teleport

#

its a starting point

#

at the character creation its set the position from the safehouse

wooden lodge
#

Yes, but using "Teleport" in the Mini Scoreboard is an admin command teleporting YOU to thei r safheouse
Is there no way to edit that so you can teleport OTHERS to that location you are meant to be? If that makes sense at all

thin hornet
#

i know what you mean

#

but no

wooden lodge
#

I mean you can teleportthem to you already

thin hornet
#

stuff that is java is not editable

#

admin commands are only for admin and if there is no other command allowing us then we cant

#

otherwise it might require to turn off some anti-cheat

wooden lodge
#

So you're saying we can't add another admin command?

#

As that's locked behind Java literally?

thin hornet
#

to allow using

-- On the client, when received from the server
player:setX(x);
player:setY(y);
player:setZ(z);
player:setLx(x);
player:setLy(y);
player:setLz(z);
abstract raptor
#

if you can get past the anti cheat whatever

thin hornet
#

well technically you can add a server command with a java mod on your server

abstract raptor
wooden lodge
#

They're adding more admin commands, why not allowing admins to TPpeople to their safehouse too

#

That would solve all those issues 😂

thin hornet
#

admin can teleport others

#

non admin cannot teleport

wooden lodge
#

Yes

#

That's what I mean

#

Can we not get a function to right lcick and teleport them to safehouse?

#

Even with modding?

abstract raptor
#

did you know the mini scoreboard allows you to teleport somebody too

wooden lodge
#

I let go the idea of them being able to TP themselves

#

If at least admins could TP peple to safehouse without going there first and then summoning htem

#

That'd be a huge help already

thin hornet
#

well yeah you can easily make an option for admin to teleport someone to its own safehouse

wooden lodge
#

That's what I meant! YES, YEEEES

#

please

#

😂

#

Events are hosted by staff anyways, so adding an option to TP players to their safehouse would be the golden solution omg

wraith root
#

What are people using to work with the Java end of the mod commune?

#

local function teleportPlayerToItSafehouse(player, safehouse)

--- somewhere with the reference of the player to teleport
local safehouse = SafeHouse.hasSafehouse(player);
if safehouse then
  teleportPlayerToItSafehouse(player, safehouse);
end

thin hornet
#

@wooden lodge what you could do is use the context menu named "[ADMIN] Teleport player to it safehouse" then loop all online players that has a safehouse and add as sub-option with each player and when clicked then it run that function teleportPlayerToItSafehouse written earlier.

wooden lodge
thin hornet
#

wait a sec

wooden lodge
#

Sure, take all your time, I really appreciate your help even though I'm probably going to end up needing a step by step on this

thin hornet
# 
local function teleportPlayerToItSafehouse(player, safehouse)
    if isAdmin() then
        local x, y, z = safehouse:getX(), safehouse:getY(), safehouse:getZ();
        SendCommandToServer("/teleportto \"" .. player:getDisplayName() .. "\" " .. tostring(x) .. " " .. tostring(y) .. " " .. tostring(z));

    local players = getOnlinePlayers();
    for i = 0, players:size() - 1 do
        local player = players:get(i);
        local safehouse = SafeHouse.hasSafehouse(player);
        if safehouse then
            table.insert(entries, { player = player, safehouse = safehouse });
        end
    end

    if #entries > 0 then

        context:addSubMenu(debugOption, subMenu);

        for i = 1, #entries do
            subMenu:addOption(entries[i].player:getUsername(), entries[i].player, teleportPlayerToItSafehouse, entries[i].safehouse);
        end
    end

end

#

add this to a lua/client/MyMod/AdminTeleportPlayerToSafehouse.lua

wooden lodge
#

I assume in here? Kaeldor\media\lua\client

thin hornet
#

yeah

wooden lodge
#

Now the question is, how do I test that? Does it show up only in the Mini Scoreboard or how do I pull it up?

thin hornet
#

Log as admin

#

right click

#

context menu should show the option only if there is online players

#

also if they have safehouse

wooden lodge
#

Let me see, I'll host a local server and see if the context menu shows it

#

The other stuff... Guess I need to test when our server is updated

wraith root
#

o 3o

thin hornet
#

it will only show if you have online players with safehouse

#

that do includes you tho

wraith root
#

From the use of that Lua seems to be the answer there lol

wooden lodge
#

Let's see

#

I'll claim a safehouse real quick and test

#

so I can technically TP myself to my safehouse with that?

thin hornet
#

yeah (i think so)

wooden lodge
#

Odd things happening 😂 After the This is how you died screen I'm stuck at a black screen rn

#

Will Alt F4 and try again lmao

thin hornet
#

check console.txt

#

before reopening the game

viral vale
#

Ayy yo, i'm interested in doing some 3D modelling on some mods for PZ, where can I go to find a group? Or how should one approach this?

wooden lodge
#

Throws an error when right clicking as admin @thin hornet

thin hornet
#

console.txt

wooden lodge
#

There you go

thin hornet
#

@wooden lodge make sure to re-copy this code

#

i fixed it after sending it

#

i think u have the older one

wooden lodge
#

Restarting and will report again, replaced it now

#

No errors when right clicking at first, gave myself a custom safezone, right clicked again, errors

#

No safehouses = no errors, just tried that too @thin hornet

thin hornet
#

@wooden lodge its because i used unstable version code

# 
local function teleportPlayerToItSafehouse(player, safehouse)
    if isAdmin() then
        local x, y = round(safehouse:getX() + safehouse:getW() / 2), round(safehouse:getY() + safehouse:getH() / 2);
        local command = "/tpto \"" .. player:getUsername() .. "\" " .. tostring(x) .. "," .. tostring(y) .. ",0";
        player:Say(command);
        SendCommandToServer(command);
    end
end

local function doAdminTeleportToSafehouseMenu(_, context, worldobjects, test)
    if not isAdmin() then return; end
    
    local entries = {};

    -- Check all online players if they have safehouse
    local players = getOnlinePlayers();
    for i = 0, players:size() - 1 do
        local player = players:get(i);
        local safehouse = SafeHouse.hasSafehouse(player);
        if safehouse then
            table.insert(entries, { player = player, safehouse = safehouse });
        end
    end

    -- Loop for each entry we have
    if #entries > 0 then
        local addOption = context.addOption; -- 41.71
        if context.addDebugOption then addOption = context.addDebugOption; end -- 41.72+
        local debugOption = addOption(context, "Teleport Player To Safehouse");
        local subMenu = ISContextMenu:getNew(context);
        context:addSubMenu(debugOption, subMenu);

        for i = 1, #entries do
            subMenu:addOption(entries[i].player:getUsername(), entries[i].player, teleportPlayerToItSafehouse, entries[i].safehouse);
        end
    end

end
Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(doAdminTeleportToSafehouseMenu);
wooden lodge
#

What's the difference?

thin hornet
#

context:addDebugOption is a new feature in 41.72+]

wooden lodge
#

Once it updates, will the function still work or need adjustments?

#

I'll try the code you just sent now, brb

thin hornet
#

now it should teleport in the middle of the safehouse first floor

wooden lodge
#

Will try! brb

#

It now doesn't throw errors, but it gives me the hint down left as if I enter a command wrong

#

Doesn't actually move me anywhere though @thin hornet

thin hornet
#

what does the message say

wooden lodge
#

It's what shows up when you just type /teleportto into the console

#

It's some kind of automated help response I'd assume

#

If I type /teleportto without any values, the same message shows up as if I'd click on the command you added

#

If that makes sense

thin hornet
#

try entering /tpto "username" x y 0 replace x and y by coordinates replace username with yours

wooden lodge
#

/tpto "Lera" 2 2 2

#

Like that?

thin hornet
#

set the last number to 0

#

ground level

wooden lodge
#

Nohting happens

#

Same message shows up

#

Maybe stable unstable command issues?

thin hornet
#

and how about /tpto 2 2 0

#

also coord might no be valid

wooden lodge
#

same message

thin hornet
#

ah

#

need ,

wooden lodge
#

Tried /tptp 2000 2000 0

#

ok sec

#

Well that worked

#

I'm in a black void now lmfao

thin hornet
#

this should do

wooden lodge
#

Trying again, brb

#

Sadly still the same. Shows the message in bottom left again, no actual teleport @thin hornet

thin hornet
#

i supose its cause you are trying to tp yourself

#

/teleportto "Lera" 2000,2000,0

wooden lodge
#

That teleports me into the black void

#

but the command doesn't throw errors nor does it teleport me to my claimed safheouse

#

It does throw the same message down left as if I would just type in /teleportto

thin hornet
wooden lodge
#

Yes, into a dark void

#

I teleported back to my safehouse via safehoust list -> Teleport to get out of it

#

Then ran away, tried command again, nothing,j ust the help message in the bottom left showing up again

If we have access to any ASync commands then yeah

#

You could also just run the bot on the same server and point to a server directory but

#

That's not as versatile

steady sparrow
#

I already wrote the bot, but only with all the details available from steam query (players, description etc.) - was hoping to add a bit more details like time of day etc

drifting ore
#

LuaSQL exists

#

Do you need/want super secure info storage?

#

Because if not I think LuaSQL doesnt have MySQLi support

steady sparrow
#

The bot is not hosted on the same machine, since I also use it for other games supporting steam query and multiple servers (6 currently)

#

That might work 🎉

drifting ore
#

I've been learning web development with MySQL and its heen

#

An experience, thats for sure

#

But yeah no you might be able to like

#

Create an SQL DB on the local server that hosts ZB

#

And then have it open a port

#

Then your bot just queries that port

steady sparrow
#

I haven’t done much with lua since warhammer online ages ago lol - can we add libraries like luasql to pz?

Luasql would work with remote database if possible

For all modders who struggle with testing/work on their mods and having to juggle mods around to play with friends you can do the following:

  1. Top bar of steam, select: Games > Add a Non-Steam Game...
  2. Browse for the PZ launcher: ProjectZomboid32.exe or ProjectZomboid64.exe
  3. Under launch options, add an unique directory path for local files: -cachedir=E:\Zomboid
  4. Name the "added game" something useful like Project Zomboid [DEV].

You can also add -debug after that command to force the client into debug as well.

The folder created is the same created under user/<name>/Zomboid/ - so it includes the upload folder for mods and the game will recognize it as such.

This lets you develop your mods, have saves for testing, change local files, and all separate from your "real" saves/files.
Note: This still requires you to unsubscribe from mods matching any mods you wish to work on as the game will prioritize downloaded content over local files.

Oh shit thank you! I was searching now 😭

#

Unironically i have never interacted with Konijima but he's now my second favorite person

#

and one more thing, I am looking to disable the base default professions to rewrite it with unique professions. Would I just name my mod file the same as the ingame file or how would I go about that

thin hornet
#

shared\NPCs\MainCreationMethods.lua

# 
Events.OnGameBoot.Remove(BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions);
BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions = function()
        -- your own prof here

    local profList = ProfessionFactory.getProfessions()
    for i=1,profList:size() do
        local prof = profList:get(i-1)
        BaseGameCharacterDetails.SetProfessionDescription(prof)
    end
end
Events.OnGameBoot.Add(BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions);
#

basically you write your own file like shared/NPCs/MyOwn_MainCreationMethods.lua

#

i think

#

you are going to have to test how that goes

coral lava
#

Alright! I'll go test it out now then and see if it works. Thanks for the advice tho!

wraith root
#

When making items, you don't have to delete other items to make room correct?

#

I don't assume so, but some games have this limitation

coral lava
#

I don't think so, a lot of mods add new items just fine without removing the initial ones

then you can try getServerOptions() global

local options = getServerOptions();
options:getBoolean("PlayerBumpPlayer"); -- get it
options:putOption("PlayerBumpPlayer", "true"); -- set it (value has to be a string)

might be something like that

unknown.png
#

When clicking "Place Item" it renders the model and texture, along with the correct size, but I click the left mouse button, it gives me the error, I exit that menu and then it stops rendering even when just clicking "Place Item"

#

The item is modded in

I put a comma after the displayname but that also didn't fix the main issue lol

Fixed it, I had to add an icon 💀

Hello, I'm having some trouble getting the server to recognize updates that happen whenever a player repairs a vehicle. It updates on the client-side, but the server disregards/ignores/never receives it. For example, if a player repairs a car from 50% to 54%, the player will see 54% on their side, but everybody else on the server still sees 50% (because the value never actually changed on the server), and if the player logs off and back on, they will see 50% again

I'm thinking that maybe I am using sendClientCommand() incorrectly, any help please? Below is the code that I use to send the update to the server

if isClient() then
  local args = {
    vehicle = self.vehicle:getId(),
    condition = self.part:getCondition()
  };

  sendClientCommand(self.character, "vehicle", "repairEngine", args);
end

  * Method Parameters: 
  *  - (String arg0, String arg1, KahluaTable arg2): void
  *  - (IsoPlayer arg0, String arg1, String arg2, KahluaTable arg3): void

  function sendClientCommand(..): void;
#

@warm sail

#

I only know part of your client-side implementation. The server side is set up properly with the event associated with the client command?

#

Not 100% sure but I think you'd use OnClientCommand in the server scopr to receive this.

#

For consistency's sake, I'd recommend sending the client command to the server (Find a way to make it work first), then either have the server update all players if it can be done there with what's provided or update all clients (including the player sending the command), so inconsistencies don't cause problems if something fails.

#

I don't know anything else about your code so I can only help this much. 🙂

Is there a way to make a specific zombie silent and not make it's usual zombie sounds?

jagged ingot
tranquil reef
#

I'm making specific zombies have different idle sounds so I can't just replace the defaults

jagged ingot
#

I see these calls for IsoZombie:

      /**
       * Method Parameters: 
       *  - (long arg0, GameSoundClip arg1, BitSet arg2): void
       */
      stopEvent(arg0: number, arg1: zombie.audio.GameSoundClip, arg2: java.util.BitSet): void;
      /**
       * Method Parameters: 
       *  - (long arg0): void
       */
      stopOrTriggerSound(arg0: number): void;
#

It'd be a hacky method but you could use OnTick to stop common sounds zombies emit.

#

Not 100% on that. Would be a bit of work.

tranquil reef
#

Everything I'm doing is hacky so that shouldn't be a problem lol, thank you, I'll see if I can get that to work

hi guys, can someone help me a second? I'm looking for how to make one item that I made require electric power, how to do?

#

thx

thin hornet
plucky junco
thin hornet
#

Mhm

#

Is it used into recipes?

#

im waking up ill check this out just need a coffee first

plucky junco
#

it is a "printer" type object

#

a really simple object, it is required for a recipe and the recipe says CanBeDoneFromFloor:true,

#

but I would like to need electricity to work

#

so basically you just need to be near to it so that the recipe can work

thin hornet
#

Could do something like that for recipes

local function playerIsOnPoweredSquare(player)
    return ((SandboxVars.AllowExteriorGenerator and player:getSquare():haveElectricity()) or (SandboxVars.ElecShutModifier > -1 and GameTime:getInstance():getNightsSurvived() < SandboxVars.ElecShutModifier));
end

MyModNameRecipes = MyModNameRecipes or {};
MyModNameRecipes.OnCanPerform = MyModNameRecipes.OnCanPerform or {};

function MyModNameRecipes.OnCanPerform.RequireElectricityToPerform(recipe, player, item)
    return playerIsOnPoweredSquare(player);
end
#

otherwise anywhere you need you can just use this custom function

local function playerIsOnPoweredSquare(player)
    return ((SandboxVars.AllowExteriorGenerator and player:getSquare():haveElectricity()) or (SandboxVars.ElecShutModifier > -1 and GameTime:getInstance():getNightsSurvived() < SandboxVars.ElecShutModifier));
end
#

thats how the game check for power for example when taking fuel at the gas station

plucky junco
#

i see

thin hornet
#

you could use it into a TimedAction isValid() method and in a context menu when adding the option.

local option = context:addOption("Do something that require power", worldobjects, func, playerObj, etc);
if not playerIsOnPoweredSquare(player) then
  option.notAvailable = true;
end
plucky junco
#

you know any mod that use it where I can get a better understanding of it?

thin hornet
#

My computer mod does check for electricity

#

How do you interact with your printer? (recipe or context menu)

plucky junco
#

recipe

#

as i told you it's really basic

#

it's an object on the floor 🤣

plucky junco
#

thx

thin hornet
plucky junco
#

yes i already found it

#

thx

thin hornet
#

my function added and not computer:getSquare():isOutside() so that the computer doesnt work outside even if power wasnt cut yet (but work outside if using a generator)

#

i have much more plan with the computer, in an unreleased v2 branch but lua got me tired when making it

I was trying to make all the zombies with this outfit white, but I found one who was black, I got really mad because I didn't know what I did wrong, but after finding like 10 zombies with the same skin tone in a row I'm pretty sure I set the skin tone to black on accident instead of white 💀

#

thought the outfit was broken but turns out I'm just really dumb lol

winter bolt
#

oh you can control the skin texture that zombies spawn with?

tranquil reef
#

I thought so, "I'm just really dumb" was an understatement, I was taking the GUID from the AuthenticZ mod, but didn't realize until just now the creator has it as custom clothing things

#

Explained that poorly, but this is basically how it works

ohh

I am going to steal this method of doing it though because the game apparently doesn't want me to be happy lol

# winter bolt ohh

By the way, did you make the Open Jackets mod? I saw your name and planned on asking at some point but forgot

#

I only use like 3 mods in my playthroughs, true music, open jackets, and drawing on the maps, so if so I appreciate your work in adding something to the game that should just be in it anyway lol

I'm wondering what Is the best way to turn my sandbox pre-sets into a mod? 🤔

I'm looking for a way to consistently sync my MP an SP presets

tranquil reef
#

I've been wanting the ability to just package saved outfits, traits, and sandbox settings into a mod file people can install, but I'm not sure it's possible lol. However, if you really want to go through the trouble you could have a mod which sets the sandbox settings when the game boots through a lua file

#

Also to clarify I know barely anything about that so there may be an easier solution my ape brain is currently unaware of

Hello. Does anyone know which file I should look at regarding player handling of multiplayer servers (how many players are in-game and other related information)?

thin hornet
#

for example you can get all the player online using

      @LuaMethod(
         name = "getOnlinePlayers",
         global = true
      )
      public static ArrayList getOnlinePlayers() {
         if (GameServer.bServer) {
            return GameServer.getPlayers();
         } else {
            return GameClient.bClient ? GameClient.instance.getPlayers() : null;
         }
      }
#

so in lua

local players = getOnlinePlayers();
if players then
  for i = 0, players:size() - 1 do
    local player = players:get(i);
  end
end

i suggest you do all the operation and storing on the server side.
and only send the global moddata to players as a reference

global moddata is World moddata

#

attaching to the car will not be safe and you will need the vehicle reference to interact with it

does the world instance have it's own modData too?

ah, that sounds interesting,

it contains a base code that handle everything for you, so you can just add what you need to a config file in shared.

my posters are just really weird when interacting with the world. like i'd attempt to play it on a south wall and the poster will face the North direction

#

even though I have south selected in the tilezed

sour island
autumn temple
#

probably

sour island
#

Almost seems like the directions are reversed tho?

#

Like when you have the blue marker on the floor attached to the wall - I think the poster is on the other side of the wall?

#

With the poster face facing the wall at that

#

Anyway to add a window to the walls to test?

autumn temple
sour island
#

strange, maybe they're reversed visually

autumn temple
#

but i did find an issue code wise lol

#

if I have multiple posters with different ID's but same item name. it breaks the placement

#

like I had "BerserkPoster1" and "BerserkPoster2" but both named Berserk Poster

#

but both posters broke and wouldnt place into the south direction unless I changed their item names

#

this as an example

unknown.png
#

would break the south direction placement, unless I change the DisplayName

I'm making a special infected mod and I want to have a sandbox option for the game to wait a week before spawning them, like a boolean, can I check it here?

#

like if the boolean is off, daySurvived is 0, if the boolean is on, daySurvived is 7

thin hornet
#

hey @tranquil reef

#

oh i see so you want the value of the sandbox option to be in that object there

#

it wouldnt make it there in time i fear

#

would have to see when is the AttachedWeaponDefinitions used and if we can edit it later after game load

tranquil reef
#

So this runs before the sandbox settings are checked?

thin hornet
#

its defined right when the script is loaded

#

sandbox are not transmited yet

#

at least for a server / client

#

but even for single player

#

script are reloaded before you even start setting your sandbox options

tranquil reef
#

Rip

thin hornet
#

this is used in IsoZombie.addRandomAttachedWeapon()

#

it may be possible to edit after

#

didnt find where this is initialized yet

#

ah i think it may be in RunLuaInternal

#

nope its in AttachedWeaponDefinitions.init()

tranquil reef
#

Well I guess I'm either going to have to make two mod files, or just only have one of the options by default lol

thin hornet
#

it could potentially be done

#

i think

#

using reloadLuaFile()

#

it would force to reload the file which would make the AttachedWeaponDefinitions dirty and re-init

#

not sure how that would act toward other mods adding to the attachedWeaponDefinitions tho

#

ah nevermind

#

it might not be possible in the end

#

wow wait

#

actually

# 
AttachedWeaponDefinitions = AttachedWeaponDefinitions or {};

because this is written like this

#

it would work

tranquil reef
tranquil reef
thin hornet
#

lua/shared/Definitions/spitter_AttachedWeaponDefinitions .lua

AttachedWeaponDefinitions = AttachedWeaponDefinitions or {};

local function defineSpitter()
    AttachedWeaponDefinitions.spitter = {
        chance = 100,
        weaponLocation = {"Stomach"},
        bloodLocations = {"Torso_Lower","Back"},
        addHoles = true,
        daySurvived = SandboxVars.SpitterMod.daySurvived or 0,
        weapons = {
            "Base.Katana",
        },
    }
end

local function init()
    Events.OnTick.Remove(init);

    defineSpitter();
    if (isServer()) then
        reloadServerLuaFile("Definitions/AttachedWeaponDefinitions");
    else
        reloadLuaFile("Definitions/AttachedWeaponDefinitions");
    end
    
end
Events.OnTick.Add(init);
#

By reloading the file it will set the java object to dirty and re-init it, which will get that lua table again which is already stored in global so nothing is lost no matter which mod added to it
and this code would run on both client and server since its shared directory at the first tick.

#

so when a zombie is spawned it would fetch a random outfit and attached weapon from the up-to-date version of this global lua table

tranquil reef
#

Oooo nice, thank you

thin hornet
#

let me know if it actually worked

tranquil reef
#

For this part though, "SandboxVars.SpitterMod.daySurvived or 0,", the sandbox variable is a boolean that can be set to true or false, could I just have a "local daysRequired" or something in defineSpitter, and then have it be set to 0 or 7 depending on the boolean?

#

If that makes any sense

thin hornet
#

just have a sandbox options of type double so that people choose the amount of days

#

if they want 1 month they could

tranquil reef
thin hornet
#

then have a boolean

#

and use this ```lua
daySurvived = SandboxVars.SpitterMod.daySurvived and 7 or 0,

#

that should work

Since textures are drawn using double values, have you tried flooring the coordinates?

#

Can someone help me with codding seconds? I want to make a → if player:isSprinting() "for more than 1 second" ← But i have no idea how

#

I was using a timer but that was not it, since the penalty would occur even if it was for less than a second

jagged ingot
#

Unless there's a better way to know when the sprinting started in the API, that's my first guess.

cunning haven
#

Could you give me an example? I'll look in to it

jagged ingot
#

in an OnTick listener, check if the player is sprinting. If the last result is different, handle the switch.

#

You then calculate the delta since the player started sprinting with a stored timestamp.

#

Then make a method that checks both the flag set to true and the delta.

#

Use millisecond timestamps.

#

timeDelta = timeNow - timeThen

cunning haven
#

Ah i see

jagged ingot
#

if timeDelta >= 1000 then return true

#

Again if someone knows if the time is tracked elsewhere in the code for PZ, that'll be a better way.

cunning haven
#

No no that's fine, i was just looking for IRL seconds

jagged ingot
#

The only caveat with my approach is inaccurate deltas when pausing the game while sprinting.

#

You could code more to work against that, however if you don't care then this simple delta calculation works.

cunning haven
#

I have no idea of what im doing

jagged ingot
#

It's fine to feel lost. Don't worry.

#

I figured walking you through the problem logically would help you to think more about the solution than being stuck at the problem.

cunning haven
#

I don't really know much about codding im sorry, TimeDelta for instance would be Local?

jagged ingot
#

You can make it local yeah. You could calculate it either in the OnTick listener or when you call for it as a function.

#

Try to make it work first before optimizing it though.

cunning haven
#

Probably would've been easier if i showed the code before.

For the Sprint part i wanted to make it so it would only happened if you sprinted for more than a second.

OnTick is a built in PZ thing?

When solving any problem in coding, planning, building a prototype, then improving on that prototype is a good way to keep yourself from getting stuck.

Looking at the wiki example, is this the right way to use it?

Hello modders 👋 What is the best way to add a new Item (such as a journal or a sheet of paper) with some text already in it? 🤔 I was looking to add or define a new item, but then I realized there is not property like "content" or something like that I can use to add a custom text:

item SheetPaper2
{
    DisplayCategory = Literature,
    Weight    =    0.1,
    Type    =    Literature,
    DisplayName    =    Sheet of Paper,
    Icon    =    Paper,
    CanBeWrite  =   true,
    PageToWrite =   1,
    WorldStaticModel = SheetOfPaper,
}

Once you upload a mod to steam, is there anyway to change the thumbnail?

Hello, I want to add icon with tooltip under health bar in the health panel, but I can't find exact place in lua code anywhere (the health bar, not panel). Can someone tell me which lua file I need to look at?

@undone crag @sour island I found a way to achieve what I wanted to do:

  1. Define a new item type
  2. Use the OnPreFillInventoryObjectContextMenu to add the content the first time the user click on it

Reportedly if you have a function on OnPreFillInventoryObjectContextMenu it slows loading.
