Build27 Craft Helper 1.2

[Omegapl]

Hello 
Becouse Peanuts (creator of this mod) has been offline since december and no one is developing this mod anymore I (Omegapl) decided to take care of this mod and update it a little.
 
INFO
Get bored of pausing game to see if an item is a component of a recipe on your favorite pz wiki site ? This mod is for you. This mod will help you to learn the recipes of Project Zomboid.
 
SCREENSHOTS

 
HOW TO USE IT:
CraftHelper offers two ways to learn recipes:

• See all recipes where an item is used
• See directly the complete list of recipes

All you have to do is :

• Open your inventoryRight click on an item. If the item is used in or more recipes, the "craft helper" option will appear in the contextual menu
• Click on the "craft helper" option to see all the recipes where the item is used.
• Move the mouse over a recipe to see its composition in tooltip box

Or

• Click on the new available button (to the left of screen, under character info button) to open a window where all recipes (sorted by name) are displayed. Like above, when your mouse is over a recipe, its composition will appear in a tooltip box.

In tooltip box (recipes composition), you'll see [+], [~] or [-] before items name.
[+] : means that you actually have this item in your inventory
[~] : means that you actually have this item in your inventory but not enough to craft recipe
[-] : means that you don't have this item in you inventory
 
If you have picked up some items and you want to check if you can craft something with them , press refresh button on the top of the window in which the list of recipes is.
 
Since version 1.5b there is CraftHelper menu available in recipes book . You can open it but pressing "O" button.Also you can add recipes to favorites by pressing right mouse button.
FOR MODDERS

Modders, you can hide your recipes from craft helper.
You'll need to create a module for your recipes.
 
 

module My_Mod{    recipe Make Foobar Recipe    {    foo=10,    bar,            Result: Foobar,    Time:80.0,    }}

 
 
Then, you have to put this line in your code:
 

if craftHelper ~= nil then    craftHelper.skipModules['My_Mod'] = true;end

 
Since v1.2 you are able to exclude some recipes from appearing in context menu and recipe list concerning an item.
Simply add item's name (not item's display name) in  IgnoreList = {} array.
Currently it is not case sensitive.
 

 

HOW TO INSTALL THIS MOD:
 
I have tested v.1.2 of this mod on build26 and 27 of pz and it worked on both of them.
I haven't tested previous builds.
Craft Helper (when loaded from mod directory on both sides client and server)
in multiplayer works only on build27 and up
Mod should work on Project Zomboid build 27 and up

• Just extract the archive into your mods directory located at  <C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid\mods>
• Turn it on in PZ's menu

CHANGELOG

  There is option in CraftHelper  menu to display favorite recipes at the beginning of the list and option to display favorites only.
  Your favorites are saved on hard drive in "(,,,)\Zomboid\Lua\CraftHelper\Favoritelist.dat" and are loaded up when you start to play again. When you have mods adding recipes and you add to favorites some of these recipes, these recipes are kept saved when mod is switched off.

  Mod uses much less CPU then in v1.1 ,when using mods which add big amount of recipes.
• v1.2: updated to build27 .
  For modders it is now possible, by adding item's name to the IgnoreList = {} ,to exclude recipes concerning an item. [beware in current version it removes whole recipe from the mod, but it's still craftable in-game].
  Minor bugfixes.
• v1.1.1 : compatible with new mods loading system of PZ 2.9.9.17

This is useful!

Thanks!

Craft Helper 1.3 does not run on build 28, is that right?

Also the installation instructions in the readme file are misleading. It says to go to <C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid\mods> where the mods directory should be located but that is not true for the steam version... is it? The only place I could find to put mods to was E:\Steam\SteamApps\common\ProjectZomboid\mods but when I put Craft Helper there it does not even show up in the modloader

[harakka]

Mods are to be installed in c:\users\username\zomboid\mods on both Steam and non-Steam versions. If a mod doesn't show up that way, it is most likely not up to date.

Are you sure?

I do not have a folder C:\users\username\zomboid . It's also not under C:\Users\Benutzer01\AppData\Local where I suspected it first... so where is it? I am puzzled. ^^

 

Update 1:

I found it! It's under D:\Michael\Zomboid ! Apparently it always uses some kind of standard folder which can be relocated. In my case C:\ is a relatively small SSD and when installing Windows 8 I tried to change all kinds of default path away from that way-too-small SSD... I guess that's where my problem originated from. Thanks for your help.

2 additional questions:

 

1. Where exactly is this "refresh button"?

 

2. Does CraftHelper really include all recipes? (I am playing build 28)

2 additional questions:

2. Does CraftHelper really include all recipes? (I am playing build 28)

1. It's next to pin button (It changes color when clicked)

2. It might not contain some of recipes using water . If they werent loaded that means they would couse errors. You can check how many recipes havent loaded in console if you have it. On clean build without mods 7 recipes dont load

[Joonyer]

Excellent, many thanks for this. I for one don't really enjoy having to use trial and error for crafting, or referring to websites etc - it's what put me off Minecraft. This is improving the experience greatly for me

 

thanks

Will this work with build 29?

 

This sounds incredible...

Fantastic work on this mod Omega.

 

I tried it out with build 30 beta and it sseems to still work as well, although I noticed the new medical items didnt seem to show craft helper in their right click context menu's.

 

Also pots/kettles/frying pans did not seem to have craft helper menus either, is this just because its not working with food crafting?

 

Either way this mod really opens up the game, as knowing there are tons of things to craft but not having any clues or hints what I need can be frustrating, and checking the wiki is spoiler territory.

So thanks again.

I will look why items dont show up context menu as soon as I find some free time

New update available (v1.4)

• v1.4: CraftHelper now loads Evolved Recipes too (soups,sandwitches etc) 
  Water fillable items have now info (blue) in recipe list
  Recipes in which can be used water contained in other items are now shown in the recipe list
  Bugfixes

[CthulhuInACan]

I installed v1.4 of this mod, but I still can't see any cooking recipes like stews, soups, salads, etc. I'm using Build 29.4. Any idea why this is happening, or how to fix it? I also can't see the recipe book icon, though if I click on where it should be, it still works.

[Omegapl]

They slightly changed the way textures were loading in 29.4 becouse I was using 29.3 I didnt notice untill now

I already fixed it and Im uploading files
About recipes I dont know what do you mean . I've checked it and these recipes were there. 

Are you using other mods ? If yes which ones? 

These recipes have similar color to this one.

[CthulhuInACan]

OK, it works now, thank you! =D And apparently the recipes not showing was a conflict or something, because reinstalling fixed it.

 

Just so you know though, the hyperlink for 1.4a links to 1.4. The actual text is right, but the hyperlink isn't.

Thats strange . Also, can you tell me which mod was causing conflict ?

[chronicpayne]

Awesome!

Thank you for the update Omega, will try it out asap.

Seems to build 30.9 is not working properly, I get an error thread

Try version 1.4b and tell me if there is still this error 

[AnonPrime]

Two things! First off, can you please add a link that doesn't direct me to some "Coin URL" as per the forum rules? I am by no means a moderator or anything so there is no consequence to not doing so, but would be nice if you did
 
"Ad revenue links are ONLY allowed if you also provide a direct link to the download." http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/54-modding-rules-guidelines/

 

And it looks like this error is caused by the items in the farming.txt file being used in the new canning recipes. I looked at a way of fixing it but only thing that worked was adding the items to the ignore list in the crafthelper.lua file.

 

Here is the change I made:

IgnoreList = {'SaladBoringitem', 'CmashedpotatosBowl', 'Water', 'DeadBird', 'm9Bayonet', 'Tomato', "Potato", "RedRadish", "Cabbage"}

It stops the errors, but the CraftHelper recipe still won't be able to tell if you have these items in your inventory or not.

[Omegapl]

What version of game do you have ? What version of mod ?
