basic 101 2d art

tiles: step by step 10 that any newones of #mapping must see,
want to place a png as a tile in game?

item sprite or radial icons:
if is an item sprite (used in item world, item inventory, or in radial items) doesnt need this 10 steps, just place png inside texture folder and use it on code by getTexture(path_to_your_yourpngfile)

Bypass Fragmotion Limitations:
Glytch3r's Anti Prayer tool


Bypass Fragmotion's trial requirements 
fragmotion asks us to word by word type a prayer
which is pretty lengthy and takes so much time

use this tool by running it
then click on the textbox
wait for the countdown 
then violla it will type the thing for you
I hope this helps the mod community

if it doesnt work then you might need to install autohotkey

source code to show the file is clean

it is a fast-load map, it loads 3.9 seconds (±0.39) vs (without mod) 7.1 seconds (±1.323) in vanilla map
with this map version 1, it runs x1.82 (±2.01) faster than vanilla

i get this numbers with this specs, expect better numbers on yours
loading time on my 8gb ram, i5, no video card, laptop, no ssd, windowned, on existing save,

i release a map to speed up development overall and high usage effectiveness to MP mods, because it speeds up restarts from client and server, for debugging purposes

Hey!
Since there is no channel for publishing programs for the game, I found this thread! 🙂
Project Zomboid Mod Updater/Downloader 1.1.3
Instructions:

  • download and extract the archive preferably into your PZ installation folder.
  • if "mods" folder doesn't exist (weird...) in your PZ installation, do create it.
  • if C:\Users\yourusername\Zomboid\Mods folder doesn't exist, please run the game once just to create the settings environment.
  • run with PZModUpdater.exe
  • minimum screen resolution required 1600x900

Update 1.1.4:

  • updated SteamCMD executable.
  • adapted to Project Zomboid Build 42 which changed mod package structure.
  • some code refactoring, adjusting messages, comments and such.
  • no need to remove examplemod folder manually, it's automatically being removed now.
  • choosing game path now relevant for something, although mods folder still hardcoded. (it shouldn't be changed anyways if you placed in PZ install folder)
  • fixed old/obsolete sub mods not being removed after downloading/updating mods.

If you have any feedback/bug reports/good vibes, do tell and share...

Hey, do share the log.txt file

hollow stratus
stoic quarry
#

not the right one, it's log.txt in the same folder where my program exe is

#

Tested and tried to update 2 mods again (one is a vehicle mod, another one is a map mod), but it seems like any updated mod still doesn't appear in B42's mod list

stoic quarry
#

uhh, the mod is fine... and parsed fine... you know it's for B41 right?

#

same with the map mod

#

those mods are for B41

hollow stratus
stoic quarry
#

🤷‍♀️

#

you could do it yourself, simple as creating two folders, "41" and "common", and moving all the files to folder 41.

#

but, if the author didn't update the mod for b42, you should play with b41 with b41 mods

Glytch3r's Symlink .bat

creates a symlink version of your mods it will speed things up when youre creating mods for b42
note this is only useful if your mod doesnt have any difference between versions
cuz it will basically create images of your folder
this will help save storage space as well as provide comfort during coding proccess since you dont have to keep copy pasting files

configure the directory based on your game files directories

I like to create my files fast.
Just thought about sharing this with you (maybe helpful)

All it does is executing this command:

C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /V /C @echo on && set /p name=Filename: & echo > !name!

#

Mainly because someone asked me to, since the original wasn't getting updates, requires pinkslip items for every vehicle, and doesn't have the features I want

#

so mine you dont need a pinkslip item for every vehicle (no more patch mods like for Carwanna KI5 cars etc)

minor cobalt
#

damn if i knew this earlier then it could have saved me time when i madr the car dealer mod
