Just guessing: Reanimation is handled by the server in MP, but you're doing things on the client. The server doesn't know about it. Picking up & dropping the corpse syncs something with the server, so now it knows what to do. So you need to figure out how to make sure that things run on the server at the right time. Easier said than done. Decompiling the java source code always helps with figuring out why something doesn't work.

Looks like my GlobalModData isn't saved on the server, it's gone as soon as I host the game again using the "Host" button. Is it supposed to work this way?

You can run 2 debug instances of the game at the same time, then use #1 to host and #2 to join using your local IP. You need to exit steam first, tho.

Using ModData.transmit() to communicate with the server works, but the lua table doesn't contain my data... It's always empty. Is there something similar to Events.OnReceiveGlobalModData when using the oldschool transmitModData()?

btw: Please polish the MP game design a bit as well! For example, we still don't have a sanity/reputation system to combat griefing & KoS. PvP is either unlimited or disabled. The only alternative is admins constantly monitoring the server and banning players who break the rules. And then there are issues like clunky server resets, floating bases, or the lack of a working sleeping system...

This looks similar to a problem I've had when trying to mod animations: Whenever I assigned a new hit animation while another hit animation was already playing, the new one would get queued instead of playing immediately - so zombies got stuck in a series of hit animations. So what might be happening here: 1) "knockdown" anim is playing 2) zombie gets hit while "knockdown" is still playing 3) game thinks that the player hit the zombie from BEHIND because the zombie's center position is at its feet - so it queues a new "hit from behind" anim 4) After "knockdown" anim has finished, the game is now playing the "hit from behind" anim from the queue

In this image, the scratches look as expected, the dents are brown instead of grey, and the rust is... on fire? It even glows in the dark 😮 edit: ok, the rust glitch was because I set rust to "100" instead of "1"

My shell damage overlay has the wrong colors ingame. For example: if I make it greyscale, it appears brown ingame. Any idea how I can fix this? I'm using the newest B41.

Ack, I think I haven't read any... guess it was me being dumb, after all xD

Indoor temperature only changes once electricity is off.

Got a filled torch & welding mask, but there's no metal working option in the right-click menu anymore. Or am i just dumb & doing something wrong right now?

I get pretty severe screen taring no matter what.

Compare this to the old preview video, where turn speed was much better: 0:42 fast turn & hit 0:46 fast turn & hit, visually a bit off 1:27 niiice All of these would have resulted in death with the current build. btw NOBODY CARES about feet sliding a little.

Cruise control is amazing!

I'd simply do this: - take the area's coordinates from blindcoder's map - check if the player's position is in that area when he spawns - then use modData to check if he's already received the items, kinda like this: if not player:getModData().startingItems then player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.itemnamehere") player:getModData().startingItems = true end Maybe there's a smarter way, but this should do the trick.

Ok, so the above version doesn't work because the sound won't get registered. This version works: local sound = "test" local gameSound = GameSounds.getSound(sound) local gameSoundClip = gameSound:getRandomClip() local emitter = IsoWorld.instance:getFreeEmitter() local id = emitter:playClip(gameSoundClip, nil) emitter:set3D(id, false) emitter:tick()

The last thing I tried is this: emitter = IsoWorld.instance:getFreeEmitter() emitter:setPos( getPlayer():getX(), getPlayer():getY(), getPlayer():getZ() ) emitter:playSound("Test") emitter:tick() Can't hear the sound. No idea why.

Didn't work for me either. Mono makes no difference, music is still played with 3d on and still twitches when using the player's emitter. I tried to duplicate the sound definition with "is3D = false", but now i get an error "couldn't find an FMOD event or .ogg or .wav file". It seems duplicates are simply ignored if they reference the same .ogg Having more access to emitters & FMOD would be nice. Not sure what Nebula is working on, but I'm trying to make devices play audio.

This. Survivor Radio is a nice mod, but currently there's no sane way to make it really work. We'd definitely need: :setTimelinePosition() Also nice to have would be: :setMinDistance() :setMaxDistance()

"Reload the game, hold shift and... Oh." xD btw: when I exit the game while there are zombies around, they are sometimes all gone when I re-enter. Does that happen to anyone else as well?

Ok, so: In this case, Zomboid will call self.method(p) and the result is: function MyClass:OnPlayerUpdate(p) print(p) --prints nil... print(self) --prints zombie.characters.IsoPlayer@18e25e21 end I still don't know what to do about it, tho...

I can't get this test "class" to give me access to the player object from the OnPlayerUpdate Event. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? local MyClass = {} function MyClass:new(o) setmetatable(o, self) self.__index = self --Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(self:OnPlayerUpdate) -- Error: function arguments expected near `)` Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(self.OnPlayerUpdate) return o end function MyClass:OnPlayerUpdate(p) print(p) --prints nil... end local o = {} local instance = MyClass:new(o)

Which is why we should have both: Defensive slaps while kiting to keep zombies at a distance & offensive punches that will take them out, but also lock the player in place.

Do you have any mods installed? edit: to be more accurate: are you subscribed to any mods on steam?

Thanks a lot, this worked! I would've never figured this out on my own...
