Unlikely to happen, a pack of cigarettes would take the same space as a plank.

Yes, you are right. I err (possibly too much) on the side of politeness. I know I would not appreciate if someone absconded with my mod (that doesn't exist yet mind you) when I went on vacation for a week or so during a major update. So I treat others as I'd like to be treated.

Hello fellow survivors!

 

I have made a simple program to edit the sandbox parameters of a save in Project Zomboid. Initially it just started out as a little poking around as I wanted to change when the water and electricity shut off, but I made it into a full program.

 

Check it out if you are interested, I could do with some feedback if there are any bugs with it (please post on the issue tracker on github).

To download it (or the source code), visit the link below. It will only run on Windows Vista/7/8/10, sorry no OS X or Linux support (yet)!

I've finaly been able to gather some trace live when the problem occured.

I have performed a Jstack trace and Jmap trace as soon as I detected the issue in the console.

I also have graphs for Outgoing Bandwidth, CPU usage, Ram uage and latency for this period.

Based on the CPU graph, I can definitely see a steady increase in CPU load when it happens.
 
PS: I've attached the traces and CPU usage info in this post.

Cheers!

The real skeleton gets out of your body and fills it with dirt while looking for a toy skeleton to leave as a decoy, they take 3 days to steal a fake skeleton so the real skeleton can be free.

Mobile hauling aids are on the devs' to-do list.

Just for the sake of science, I'll try out some numbers too. The largest datatype in Java is the 64-bit long or double, not sure which language you pulled the 128-bit integer from. Let's be generous and say we need to send 10*64 bits per updating game object, and that we're in the middle of a 1000 zombie horde, and they all need constant updating instead of using clientside prediction and only sending changes.
 
The PZ server runs at a fixed simulation rate of 12 ticks per second (IIRC). That'd be 7680000 bits or ~940 KiB per second per client. With 20 connected clients all in the middle of the horde, that'd be amazing ~19 MiB of networking data (not counting for packet overhead, possible resends etc) for the server to send per second. With 20 players in the middle of a 1000-headed horde, which in practice is much worse than any real worst case scenario that happens in the game currently. Just to be safe, you could double that and reserve a whopping 40MiB of memory for all the possible network transmission related buffers. This is still just a fraction of all the other stuff the server needs memory for. That is why the actual networking side of the game doesn't matter much memory-wise in the grand scheme of things. The scenario in question would most likely still choke the server, but it is not because of the memory requirements.

Hi everyone,

Me and my team-mate are working on a turn-based tactic game named Cold Contract.
We use same mechanisms like X-Com and Divinity Original Sin for the combat module.
 

 
Each time the player begins a new game, all components of the game are linked to a procedurally generated world.
The goal of the game is to control a regional map by hiring several mercenaries organised in squads.
The player moves in real-time on the regional map and fights the enemies on isometric maps with the turn-based system when hostiles are detected.
Mercenaries can be improve with several perks and equipments. Their skills are improved with experience points.
A HQ helps to gain more options along the game to defeat enemies.

Our short trailer:

We have a demo of our combat module where you lead a small squad of mercenaries:

If you're not careful, I'll program the forum to ban that turn of phrase...

As the title says, this mod will give you food poisoning if you drink from a toilet or rain barrel.
It also lets you take water from water tiles that you must distill before you can drink it.
 
Features of dirty Water:
Get sick drinking from a toilet or rainbarrel Get sick drinking water from a bottle, kettle, bowl, etc. filled from a toilet or rainbarrel Collect water from natural water sources (river, ocean, ponds, etc.) "Dirty" water in a bottle that is filled with "clean" water from a faucet is still considered "dirty" by pollution. Empty your "dirty" bottles before filling in "clean" water from faucets to not get sick anymore. Clean dirty water in containers with Bleach. A bottle of Bleach has 25 uses, one use is necessary to clean between 0.1 and 1.0 units of water.
That means it takes 1 use of Bleach to clean a nearly empty bottle with 0.1 units left, but the same for 1.0 units, so be careful. Boil your water containers on stoves or campfires for at least 30 minutes if you have no bleach. This mod will change how Bleach appears and is handled in the game (it's no longer a Food, but an InventoryItem) and won't replace already spawned instances of Bleach, only new ones.
It also implements stills, coolers and taking water from rivers and beaches.
 
Features of salt Water:
Pot stills. And Coolers. You can now collect saltwater from water tiles in any water container (yes, any!). This overwrites the water collection from the dirtyWater mod if both are active. You can pour saltwater into stills and light the fire below them to distill the water. If a cooler is positioned correctly next to the still, it will catch the distilled water. You can fill any water container from the cooler. Cooler changes sprite when it contains water. The rules of water states are:
Adding clean water to clean water gives clean water.
Adding dirty water to clean water gives dirty water.
Adding clean water to dirty water gives dirty water.
Adding saltwater to clean water gives saltwater.
Adding clean water to saltwater gives saltwater.
Adding dirty water to saltwater gives saltwater.
Adding saltwater to dirty water gives saltwater.
 
ISSUES
In Build 30, there's an issue with the amount of water being stored. This'll fix itself through this issue: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/tracker/issue-1261-rain-barrel-bug/?gopid=3850#entry3850
 
TODO:
 
Balancing.
Make still do something.
Make coolers do something.
Check for possible bug duplicating stills and coolers.
Make saltwater collectible. But from where? River?
 
WONTDO
I will not start calculating the dilution of saltwater to check if it's becoming drinkable.
 
COMPATIBILITY
Version 0.9 is NOT backwards compatible to 0.8 and earlier. Too much has changed, sorry.
Version 0.9.5 is NOT backwards compatible to 0.9. The separation of the mods has changed the items category from DirtyWater to SaltWater
 
LICENSE:
 
You are free to use this mod in any way, shape or form. I consider it public domain, as far as possible. It would still be nice if you credit me if you use it for anything amazing (do not credit me if you use it to annoy your neigbour).

PZ can only use as much as you allocate to it via the -Xms and -Xmx parameters.

Fort Knox is a few km from Muldraugh in real life, located in the region corresponding to the large empty space in the southeast region of the current PZ world. The devs have stated that is one of the reasons the game is situated in the region. It is fairly safe to assume it'll turn up at some point.

Well, we have Red wine, right? Red wine goes great as a sauce for steak... And works with a lot of other foods! So, I was thinking, "Why not cook with this stuff?!"
 
Share your thoughts!!!

You can already change the textures of the 3D player and weapon models as far as I know.
 
Can you elaborate on how the current weapon textures are unrealistic, and how is an aluminium baseball bat texture more realistic than a wooden one?

You could code an entirely different game (say, Tetris) in Lua within PZ if you wanted to. Traditional total conversions (replacing all assets etc) isn't very practical since you can't modify the character models other than replacing skins though. Much of the game's mechanics are written in Lua (including the user interface) so you can modify or replace those, or create entirely new gameplay mechanics. Look through the script names in media/lua/client, media/lua/server and media/lua/shared to get an idea of what the capabilities are.

Build 29 is currently only out as an unstable test version, as the thread's title and first post indicate. There's no chance of it being on Desura as long as that is the case.
