Food Expiration Date

Food Expiration Date

Welcome to Food Expiration Date forum thread.

When I play with my girlfriend, we always have thousand of problems to administrate the food before they rotten, so I decide create a mod that help us in this scenario. I think not exists a mod with expiration date in food so I hope this mod will be useful for the community too. With this mod, the players in a single game now can knows the status about any food gets.

Also, the mod include a trait called "Eye to food" that increases the information about status rotten food, including the hours. I hope this helps in your days into the hell and safe your body one day more.

The mod is located to english, spanish, polish and german. Feel free to amplify and post the result. I'll add the new locations posted to the mod. Special Thanks to Svarog and Blindcoder with his translations!

The located files are in .../media/lua/shared/ (Remember rename folders and beginning of the file)

Any suggestion or report bugs, please use this tread.

How to Use:
Only that you need is move the mouse over the food and the new option in the Tooltip tells the status of a food and time left to expire if you have the new trait "Eye to Food"

Awesome sounding mod some now we just need a randomized Food Quality mod lol quick question if you where to put it in a fridge would the expire date update to its conditions or would it still say the same as if in a fridge or not in one.

Hahahaha, thanks, I pointed it! (clyde)

quick question if you where to put it in a fridge would the expire date update to its conditions or would it still say the same as if in a fridge or not in one.

Yes, the amount of days increases more slowly if is in a fridge (this occurs in internal code of PZ), so, when the player says the status and time of food, the time is balanced.

Here is the assign sentences to calculate the time to rotten:

...DaysTotallyRotten = _item:getScriptItem():getDaysTotallyRotten();age = _item:getAge(); --increases more slowly if is into a fridgetimeToRotten = DaysTotallyRotten - age;...

I don't know if is more accuracy apply a percentage instead a life days and total days before rotten in the extra information when have the trait! :???:

You should probably make it so that "View Expiration Date" UI interaction only appears on items that have "Type = Food," in item script. Rotting does not seem to apply to any other type of item and being able to check an expiration date on things like shoes is somewhat silly.

PS: I PMed you updated translations for the new UI stuff.

Svarog, I'm sorry for that... The last version, the v1.1.0, should be the v1.1.1. When I uploaded it, It's true that any type item can tell his expiration date, but, I uploaded a correct version with de same number build because only 1-2 minuts goes since I upload the bad version and I was aware of the error. If you download the last version again, this problem is solved. I don't repeat upload versions without notify correctly, Internet is very fast. Much more than I thought. :geek:

Anyway, I'll upgrade the new translations that you sent me and go over the code again. But like I said, the problem of view expiration of shoes, should not will occur more.

If the problem persist, please, report the problem again.

Thanks for your help and contributios

Another small thing, once the food is Completely Rotten, checking the expiration date yields the "Almost rotten" message. It should probably have it's own unique message (Even if it's obvious that it's rotten beyond any use).

I check this problem with some options, and the next update I'll fix it

Hi! I'd like to customize this so the Cooking Skill is used instead of the custom trait "Eye To Food". I'd like the Cooking Skill to be at least Level 2. I don't like using traits in my Sandbox game LOL

How would I go about doing so?

This mod is really useful (fedora)

/edit

@abreu20011

So I made my own Food Expiration Mod from scratch based on your mod and I got it working, yay! Still have to figure out how to retrieve the skill levels so I can use the Cooking skill for determining how much information a player should receive, ie. poor skill means you can see basic spoilage info while higher skilled means more detailed spoilage info. If someone could help me figure this out, it'd be great
