After the latest blog, seems the NPC pages are going to be fun to do...

#

not sure how that'll go with these dynamic events

tulip kiln
#

Yeah, I'm just making it so the gallery features some unique-ish map locations outside of the towns.

#

Like 'Tanglewood' and a couple of rural pit-stops

#

Actually nah, I'll just make it an interesting locations category.

#

Cause if I do gallery, it makes it so the link only appears at the bottom of the page.

#

Nah fuck it, why bother with that part. I don't think we need an entire section for some locations that don't really have much to offer anyway

#

I'm just going to do the layout right now, I'll do the coords later since even with me removing a lot of the uninteresting locations, it's still a lotta work

tulip kiln
#

The lore description could also use a bit more work.

digital helm
#

let me know what you think

tulip kiln
#

Looks great

digital helm
#

this is done with <div style="column-count:3;-moz-column-count:3;-webkit-column-count:3; width:800px">

tulip kiln
#

Only issue is that the issue is still there.

#

The one with the colum having 2 items, 3 items, 1 item

#

Rather than just 3 item, 3 item

#

Maybe it happens when there's too few items?

digital helm
#

yeah, not sure why that is. Had a look around, saw a lot of mentions of it, but no real fix

tulip kiln
#

Yeah, nothing majorly bad. So it's fine

#

There's a few stuff from Louisville that I dunno if I'd consider a major point of interest to warrant being included, but I'd feel bad removing since they went through the work of getting the coords for it.

#

I also decided to put Valley Station before Louisville since you have to head through V.S to get there.

tulip kiln
#

Oh shit, I forgot to include scenic grove trailer park

#

Maybe I'll just include it under Riverside since it's not really significant and it's not that far from riverside.

Just noticed a lot of the zombie page is still outdated too.

#

Especially the loot part about how zombies can usually be found with vests, blouses or just "shoes"

#

@digital helm With the zombie page, you think I should add a section on sprinter zombies?

#

Specifying they're sandbox and challenge mode exclusive obviously

digital helm
#

(still haven't tried them out since b41)

#

@digital helm Fucking hell this page probabbly hasn't been updated properly in many years.

#

Loads of it is only referring to Muldraugh, like back when it was the only town

digital helm
#

yeah... I remember that being pretty ancient

#

the problem with some of the pages that've existed since 2011

tulip kiln
#

Yeah fuck the map shit for today then. I'm probably going to have to re-write just about the whole page at this rate.

#

Get some screenshots ingame too of survivor zombies.

digital helm
#

The page needs a good re-write...

tulip kiln
#

Yeah, I don't think any pages that we need are more dated than this one.

#

You want a lore section for it too?

digital helm
tulip kiln
#

Yeah I just think talking about knox country being zombified for a bit should suffice. Don't really need to get in-depth.

#

I'll put a link to that in there.

digital helm
#

nah, that infeciton page says it all

#

pretty sure there's already a link to it

tulip kiln
#

@digital helm Still working on the page, expect that it's probably going to a shit page. Although it'll be a start. Just having a hard time thinking of stuff right now.

digital helm
#

I feel like that's the hardest part

tulip kiln
#

Aye

#

That's an issue I have with this kinda shit.

#

i get straight to the point too quick and the page looks short as fuck cause of it

tulip kiln
#

Meh, either way if it gets the job done kinda, it's fine

#

Probably coulda used a better pic for the zombies eating pic

digital helm
#

Did we end up creating a page for the prison?

tulip kiln
#

The prison? I don't believe so.

digital helm
#

Hm. I thought we did, but couldn't find anything

#

must've imagined it

tulip kiln
#

It was probably when I was doing the prison coveralls and prison guard outfit shit

tulip kiln
#

Had to update the page again

#

Realised I forgot to include a section on decomposition

Hey everyone,
I was just looking up what the Reloading skill does and noticed that the page for it is missing. Should I create a page for it in the style of the other skill pages and add the information I found? How it effects the timing, what other effects change the reload time. Or should this information be contained in an other page?

silver birch
#

Well, here is a reloading speed explanation. I hope it finds a home and helps somebody.

The reloading skill affects the reloading speed of munition and to a lesser degree racking of a weapon. Per level of the skill the reloading speed is increased by 7%. The racking speed is only increased by 3%.

{| class="pztable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
!Level
| 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9 || 10
|-
! Reload speed
| 100% || 107% || 114% || 121% || 128% || 135% || 142% || 149% || 156% || 163% || 170%
|-
! Rack speed
| 100% || 103% || 106% || 109% || 112% || 115% || 118% || 121% || 124% || 127% || 130%
|-
|}
Panicing reduces the reloading speed additively by 5% per level, but not the racking speed.
A [[Bullets Ammo Strap|bullet]] and [[Shells Ammo Strap|shell]] ammo strap increases corresponding the speed by 15% multiplicatively and driving reduces the reload speed by 20%.
The maximum reload speed is 195,5% and the lowest 64% of the base reload speed. While racking a firearm the speed can be increased to 149,5% and has a floor of 80% while driving.

I'd like to help fill in entries missing their BaseID on the wiki as I come across them, but don't know where/how to get them, could someone point me in the correct direction?

digital helm
# haughty turret I'd like to help fill in entries missing their BaseID on the wiki as I come acro...

The ID is found in the scripts folder ProjectZomboid\media\scripts

In the txt files like items.txt and newitems.txt

Then you'll see the item's entry:

    {
        DisplayCategory = Tool,
        Weight    =    0.1,
        Type    =    Normal,
        DisplayName    =   Needle,
        Icon    =    Needle,
        MetalValue = 2,
        SurvivalGear = TRUE,
        Medical = TRUE,
        WorldStaticModel = Needle,
    }```
This item's ID is `Base.Needle`
`Base` is the module (at the top of the file) and `Needle` is the ID. 

Otherwise you can also find this in-game in debug mode. Just right-click the item and click "Edit Item"

it says "The crafted spear's max condition is dependant on the player's carpentry skill." but actually it is not "max condition" should be "condition" or "current condition"

#

max condition of crafted spears is always 5

#

code from recipecode.lua:
-- get the spear, lower its condition according to woodwork perk level
-- also lower the used knife condition
function Recipe.OnCreate.CreateSpear(items, result, player, selectedItem)
local conditionMax = 2 + player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Woodwork);
conditionMax = ZombRand(conditionMax, conditionMax + 2);
if conditionMax > result:getConditionMax() then
conditionMax = result:getConditionMax();
end
if conditionMax < 2 then
conditionMax = 2;
end
result:setCondition(conditionMax)

for i=0,items:size() - 1 do
    if instanceof (items:get(i), "HandWeapon") and items:get(i):getCategories():contains("SmallBlade") then
        items:get(i):setCondition(items:get(i):getCondition() - 1);
    end
    if items:get(i):getType() == "SharpedStone" and ZombRand(3) == 0 then
        player:getInventory():Remove(items:get(i))
    end
end

Hi, I looked through the pinned messages and couldnt find an answer. I was wondering if there was any permissions/best practices to be allowed to create/edit pages on the wiki. Im one of the current devs for hydrocraft and was thinking to make a new page for the current version for b41, as I think it would be preferred to leave the old one for any b40 players, as there have been some changes, and having the wiki to be able to point to for documentation on changes and new stuff would be nice.

# final rain Hi, I looked through the pinned messages and couldnt find an answer. I was wonde...

I'm assuming you're referring to the Hydrocraft page?

Since mods are currently a grey area on the wiki, with no real guidelines (ultimately because it's mostly just Hydrocraft currently). I've got no issues having a page for the build 40 and build 41 versions.
I would suggest moving the existing Hydrocraft page to Hydrocraft (build 40), or something to that effect. So the main page Hydrocraft is the most up-to-date page.
If you're having issues, let me know, and I can do it for you. Spam filter can be troublesome when it thinks you're blanking a page.

Is there any good information about how weight gain/loss is calculated within the game?

I recently hosted a MP server with the stats decrease setting at 'normal':
-In about 40 days my characters weight declined from 80 to 72
-The diet was sparse, mostly consisting of canned food and dried beans but my character starving most of the time
-Exercise was plentiful as almost every waking moment my character was exploring on foot
-I had restless sleeper so my character had to sleep quite a lot.

This all seems fairly reasonable, however I recently changed the map and along with it, the stats decrease setting to 'slow':
-In about 10 days my characters weight ballooned from 80 to 87
-My character had the hearty appetite and wakeful traits
-The diet was moderate, consisting of snacks and alcohol but for the most part, my character was between neutral and the first hunger moodlet
-My character has been exploring almost constantly each day, and only seems to require 4 hours of sleep.

I know it's not exactly a controlled experiment, but it seems to radically swing in the opposite direction. There is the formula that I'll put below that's on the wiki, but it seems very wrong (negative value for weight under 0.5, or if it's meant to be 1640-80w, negative values for weight under 20.5). Anyways, if anyone has details on how it works, I'd appreciate it.

My only gripe is OP didnt reference the code source.

# worn lantern https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/qkv619/figuring_out_nutrition_a...

Cheers, this was really useful. It is a little annoying that they didn't add code for how activity affects calorie consumption but ah well.

For anyone who might find this post in the future:
-Calories/carbs/fats/protein have 'banks' (how much your character possesses) which they burn over time, so if you are trying to go from gaining/losing weight to the other, there will be a transitional period where it'll appear nothing is changing (approximately 2 IG days if starving an overweight character and 1 IG hour if aggressively feeding an underweight character >4000 calories)

-If underweight, been eating very little and looking to gain weight: consume up to about 6000 calories of food (no value in eating more than this) prioritising foods with lots of carbs or fats to the amount of calories they give (you gain weight up to 3x faster with high carbs or fats). From then, you only need eat about 1400 calories daily (still prioritising carbs/fats) until you reach a normal weight (76-84). You may want to starve yourself when you reach these weights as your character has about 3 days of stored calories so they'll continue to gain weight regardless of whether they eat or not.

-If overweight and looking to lose weight: try starving your character as best as possible (starving doesn't inflict much damage but will make melee combat difficult). Only consume when absolutely necessary and prioritise low carbs/fats (just for the first few days) and lean into a maximum of 1400 calories daily. As long as you're losing weight, the amount of carbs/fats doesn't matter, but if you start gaining weight with high carbs/fats, you will gain weight very suddenly.

-To actively lose weight, climbing > sprinting > jogging > walking > sleeping, try being cold > warm. And the opposite is true for gaining weight, just stay warm and sleep a lot.

can we make words redirect to their relevant page? i.e. common traits such as "conspicuous" could direct to the traits page when searched?

I just realised it only does it if the search matches the page title (e.g search banana matches the page Banana), can we do this for trait/occupation searching and such? sorry no idea how the wikis work honestly

I've done some 0-60 tests, measured in seconds, on some of the cars in project zomboid, and I'm not sure if this should be added, but I feel like its important information for anyone who wants to know how fast a car is

#

Nyala = 7
Cherier = 7.5
Dart = 5.5
Bulldriver = 8
D6 = 7
Horizon = 6.5
Step Van = 8
Valuline = 16
Primani = 5.1
Rancher = 5.8
Elite = 5
All-terrain = 7

#

these numbers are in seconds mind you

#

it isnt all of the cars, only some of them

uneven bridge
#

For comparison, what parts were all cars using? And what condition? Asking as lower weight parts can skew things; you could theoretically make your car faster by removing "unnecessarily" parts like the radio and back seats

fickle narwhal
#

I do think you have a point when it comes with quality parts though

#

I think i'll set it all to performance parts just so that it aligns with the pz wiki

Open up blender then import your model > Shading > Add > Texture > Image Texture - Choose the texture image then link it to base color

Now go to Render Properties > Film > Check Transparent

In this case

Or the easier way

Put the texure and model file in the same place then open the model with 3D Viewer

The problem we've now all encountered, is logging back in an slowly dying from an unknown ailment or condition (doesn't say) all characters were healthy when logged out.

Is this due to a sandbox option not being properly setup, since it's been persistent time instead of paused when empty regarding character state?

you basically have to make a separate template subpage and translate every entry

the translation is hard to automate

#

its better to do it by mass replacing on microsoft word GYkeknya

because the item names are in links

ah nvm not that but

#

you need to use the in-game item name

#

which would yield different results under google translate

#

yeah but the display names

#

well theres also things like skills and requirements, recipe descriptions, how youre gonna fit the text length to look nice enough, etc etc

#

and all around i would find it less time consuming to actually just mass replace in ms word and do other things by hand

#

it would have been nice though if i had help from those who are familiar w the code system when i was translating the crafting core template
