where do you get clay an such for building the houses from? sry wrong forum, there's a mod that uses your rercyling to build stuff ithink

guess stormy's taking a break... o well

I've been pretty busy with RL stuff for the past week and with Thanksgiving tomorrow I doubt I'll update the mod until late tomorrow or sometime Friday. I have fixed the magazine size for all the guns and might upload just that a little bit later tonight, but I'm currently working on some more content and would like to just finish everything I'm currently working on and release it all at once. After the next update I won't be adding any new items for a bit, I'm going to either get someone to make all the icons for all the new content or either figure it out myself so that will take a few days either way, but after that I have a bunch more new content planned.

Well, I figured out how to force the difficulty, but I encountered a lot of bugs when I did that. I have it set to spawn items when a key is hit so I can test new items quickly (thanks to stormy) and I spawned all the weapons and a mag for each, the first loading of the magazine and the magazine into the gun then raking it worked properly, but I reloaded after the mag was empty to eject the mag, after I loaded the mag I tried to reload the gun and instead of inserting the full mag it just ejected another mag, and after the first loading it continued to eject mags and never let me insert the full one. I haven't looked at all the coding yet so I might find a fix myself but wanted to go ahead and post it on here. Another potential problem or it might be the current problem, not sure, is that in the inventory it doesn't separate the full mags from the empty mags, just stacks them all up. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Stormy you done with the bolt action and revolver reloads yet, and if you find time and feel like doing it, a lever action reload would be awesome (tube fed, loading similar to a shotgun) there are also some lever actions that use small clips but the semiauto reloading works fine for them, seems like it would be a lot of unnecessary work to have a clip and tube fed lever action. Thanks.

Tommysticks that did the trick, all guns now reload the correct amount, good eyes and thanks for pointing it out, think stormy was gonna fix but now I don't have to wait another problem I have is i want to force the reload to always be set on the hardest where you have to reload the mags, and rack the weapons. I see they're on the reload lua, could I just do away with the part of code about the difficulty, or just change the " if(difficulty == 3) then " to " if(difficulty == 1) then " or is there something i could put there to make it where whatever the difficulty is it always does it?

alright thanks for the tip, ill change that and test it real quick.

yea currently all weapons load 12 rounds, regardless of set amount

got my first batch of firearms made and working except for the mag sizes so just waiting on that fix

Ok I just tested mine without Corpsemod and it worked fine, I believe you just need to update to .17 and it should work properly, I'm not sure about the mod loader so I'm not going to mess with that.

could be compatibility but sounds like its from me leaving the corpsemod gloves in the loot tables.I'll upload a version without them included a little bit later today along with some additions.

Played the mod for a little bit myself today, gonna need to rebalance the loot tables. after less than an hour i had heaps of guns and ammo. I'll change the loot tables(much rarer weapons) and hopefully add bows/c-bows and some new melee weapons tomorrow.

Alright thanks for stepping up guys/girls, I've gotten entirely too high tonight to finish the reloading on the 5 new guns I added earlier today. After I get those working tomorrow I'll upload the files and you guys can start trying the stuff out. I might add some more stuff than I have listed above because I've had a few ideas that shouldn't take long to work in but I'll edit this post and include full details about everything and I'll pm you each a link with the download. Don't wanna post it here and have random people playing it before it's ready, if anyone else would like to try it, leave a post and I'll include you too until we reach about 10 people, shouldn't need more than that for testing. Thanks again. edit: I finish everything I needed to and am going to send all 3 of you a PM with the download link. and I know that all the guns i added only have a 12 round clip, thats a bug that Stormy is fixing for me since he wrote the whole reloading script, but hopefully he'll have it done within the next few days. Also I know the cocaine and joints are bugged out, I'm gonna try to fix them later when I work on adding some crafting stuff and hopefully bows/crossbows. Any other bugs or problems please tell me about, or ideas on fixes, balance, new items, etc. I plan on adding a lot more melee weapons and make a fair amount of craftable weapons plus the bows/c-bows I've already mentioned. Let's get to the goodies... New Weapons-- AR-10 = basically an AR-15 but it fires .308 instead of .223 Mini-14 = fires .223, smaller version of the famous M14, the mini is comparable to an AR-15, Whinchester Model 88 = lever action rifle firing .308 rounds Steyr Model SL = bolt action rifle firing .223 rounds Colt .45 = fires .45, need I say more? Thompson SMG "Tommy Gun" = fires .45, need I say more? **ONLY FOUND IN POLICE STATION CURRENTLY AND NOT 100%** MP-5 = fires 9mm, need I say more? **ONLY FOUND IN POLICE STATION CURRENTLY AND NOT 100%** Combat Knife = a kitchen knife that doesn't break for you knife loving people like myself New Recipes-- Craft Nails = craft 7 nails from a doorknob or hinge Roll Joints = 28gr medical marijuana + rolling papers = 40 joints Refill Fertilizer = empty fertilizer bag + almost any fruit/veggie = full bag Other-- Joints = pretty self explanatory Cocaine = pretty self explanatory modified almost all items weights and bag capacity, zombies will drop almost everything you need now, but with low rates, so you'll have to kill a lot to get stuff. Thats all I've added so far, let me know how you like everything and you're thoughts on balancing, and of course any bugs you find. plan on adding bows/c-bows and expanding on the crafting a good amount and maybe add a lot of new melee weapons if I have the time. I also highly recommend you all download the CorpseMod (http://pz-mods.net/gameplay/CorpseMod/) I have the gloves from this mod set to drop on zombies if you do download it. If you have problems with the game you might wanna try downloading the corpsemod and installing it, the gloves being in the loot tables shouldn't cause issues if they aren't included but I haven't tested it so it is possible. Good Luck

I'm currently working on a mod. At the time of this posting the mod has 7 new weapons, some new recipes, modified item weights, modified loot drops, also added cocaine and marijuana(more useful than you might think even though current states are unbalanced). I've got plenty of time and the desire to add much much more, but could use some people to actually play the game for a bit and test how balanced everything is and check for unseen bugs in the quick tests. I currently test everything I make to check and make sure it at least works but these quick tests are not enough to see how the items and spawn rates effect the game at length, and there could be bugs that I miss in my quick tests. Currently I have the mod set up in a mod folder but it doesn't work correctly from the folder, only when the files are copy/pasted to their correct folders in the directory so knowing how to install the mod this way is needed at least for the time being. I will post more info tomorrow about everything added so far and planned features. If you are interested just leave a post saying that you are. Will add the files, gotta fix a few items and correct the loot drops but you can expect a copy tomorrow. Also if anyone that makes icons and such would like to contribute I've never messed with images so that would save me a lot of time not having to learn that as well.

alright, the last update you posted works plenty good to make all the weapons i want, obviously the clips wont work 100% but i can have most made. thanks again for helping me with this reloading and everything else

yea I was using the wrong mod folder, I just overlooked that the pathing was the user folder, i found it and have it working after tommy pointed it out I finally actually read the path, rookie mistake hopefully i can avoid any more obvious problems I have lol. And i have been just dropping modded files into the directory until now. Stormy is the Revolver reload working or a work-in-progress, I notice there's the file but its not in the util? I also noticed that the mags hold the capacity they are set to, but the guns hold a different number. my reload difficulty wont change so i cant get it to where i have to put the mag in the gun. gonna play around with forcing the reload dif with a lua file in my mods but my hopes aren't high lol.

yea im putting the mod in the correct folder, its just not working at all, and i've seen the reload difficulty selector in some of the lua I looked at so im pretty sure i can do a short code to make it always go to that difficulty if i can get my mod folder working and then it should override default lua, I'll wait for stormy to reply though since he wrote the whole reload function computer > local disk c > program files x86 > steam >steam apps > common > PZ > mods only place i installed and only have my one 512gb ssd so im putting it in the correct folder unless there's another somewhere you didn't list edit: ok you're correct tommy, I'm just a fucking idiot haha, I was putting it in install folder instead of the one under user's, just found it in users and put it there and all working great, thanks for pointing that out lol.... I feel smart now... back to working on items

WHAT?!?! You're not making extra clothing and instead using that time for more important game function?!?! i want my refund now! maybe ill go make a raincoat, for when I just gotta chop those trees even though its raining..... maybe I shouldn't have added that cocaine.... its is a hell of a drug lmao

think something is wrong with my mods folder, the example mod isn't in there, its in the PZ folder. it wont pick up moreguns no matter where i put it, in PZ, or in mods. So I tried to just hijack the examplemod.... changed name and such, still displays the normal example mod in the mod options... so i delete the whole examplemod folder..... still shows and loads the mod in the game lol. no idea what it's doing. Guess I'll do it like ive had to do other mods, just put modded files in the scripts folder and import the base, those files have remained untouched after getting a clean version of the game so hopefully I wont lose anything, I back most up anyways but still. edit: also my in game reload difficulty selector doesn't change anything, could I just put a lua code in to force it to go on hardcore?

ok ty harrakka, it wasnt sure if it could or couldn't, ill stick with ingame textures until then. stormy, i greatly appreciate you helping me out with this, im just reading over the post now so ill post again later on about my progress and probably my problems lol. i've been adding a few reg items and such while i waited on you to work you're magic and ran into some lua (was trying to add a plant to the farming mod... marijuana for my joints lol) and i know next to nothing about it or any other code so im trying to fast track it, might post a few questions on here but ive seen a few decent tutorials around so hopefully not. Are other lua scripts done like Reloading, as in they weren't meant for items to be added, that you know of, because i'll probably be adding something to almost everything..... im a content junky lol. Thanks again for the help Stormy and Harakka. edit: 3 quick questions I forgot, 1. I notice you have a Revolver Reload already setup but not currently used, is it fully functioning or a work-in-progress? 2. How do you size something to use as an icon or mod pic? I'm wanting to create some icons at least for my new items and a screen for the overall mod if i release it, but I've never messed with images much before, not sure if you do much in that department or not but can't hurt to ask. 3. When you say the files in the mod folder overides the base versions, do you mean they merge or it doesn't use the base at all so I'll need to include the full file with orginal content and new? (noticed some mods have separate files with only new content but they import the base, they aren't placed in the mod folder tho, just in scripts) also when i extract moreguns to the mod folder i get nothing in game, just the Examplemod, which is just in the PZ folder and not even in the mods folder for me. I tried putting the moreguns folder just in the PZ folder and got the nothing in game doing that either.

i removed everything and just put the colt.45 files back in, now it will reload but wont shoot(wont take the bullets but files appear to be in order), exact same files i used when it was working properly..... ill just wait till you look at the reloading codes or i start understanding lua enough to do it myself, gonna keep the thread unanswered until you reply about the reloading code. thanks for you're time.

alright thanks for the info ill keep at it and try to get everything else working while you look over that reloading

ok i have run into a new larger problem the attached file is a exact copy of wat i've done so far. The Colt .45 (pistol2) works perfectly, fires proper, hits proper, reloads proper. all the other weapons i tried to make dont work at all. they are spawned in with the correct icon but thats about it, when i use them it shows me as barehanded and have makes the sound, but has no attack, doesnt do anything until the zed is in pushing range and then it does the proper damage and knockback. i copied everything exactly from the working Colt .45 i made and just changed the values and sprites etc to each gun, but nothing works. wtf.txt any help is greatly appreciated. and yes i no they are unbalanced, getting them working first, but thoughts are welcome.

also, where/how to i make it so the reloading is on "hardcore" all the time, the ingame setting doesnt work, wanting to have all the weapons i add have mags you'll need to find and save for intense fighting. and would it be possible to add a drag function, for bodies and objects, maybe on a long loot run drag a box full of stuff back(or wheelbarrow/shopping cart for that) but primarily i want to move objects like stoves/fridges around, block doors or position them away from weakspots(windows) and im very inexperienced with lua, ive read a few tuts but nothing that makes much sense, if anyone is willing to put in a lil time and answer some possilby dumb questions i would love to be able to acually talk to someone about it, post chat program and name if you wanna do that,

first off, this is my very first time modding or doing anything with code so my knowledge is limited tho i learn fast. i started playing this game and learned most of it and started wanting for more content i.e. weps/recipes/etc. i couldnt find any working mods that were worth a shit other than a neat item spawner that did nothing new so i deleted it. I just started browsing code until i fond the items, then decided to try to add a new gun(hope to add loads, think of state of decay). I succesfully made a Colt .45 that had its own ammo and a working reload function and got it to spawn into the game. before all this i downloaded some weapon mod that had ak-47, m16, m14, m1garand, etc. he had new textures and everything but i couldnt get his mod to work at all. the way i added my colt pistol was i went to the base item files, found the pistol and all required parts(2clips and the ammo) made some changes and had my new pistol working perfectly. i then decided to add all of the weapons from the failed mod i downloaded earlier. sorry for rambling, its my nature, to the point!! how do i get the new textures for the weapons i added? i currently have all the weapons added and spawned but they are all shotguns or the 1 pistol textures.... lol..... and to boot the shotgun textures only show when my character is walking a certian way, its invis while shooting, and none but my original Colt .45 reload at all but thats because i copied most of the other dumbshits code when i made them.(dont no if he was completely incompetent or mod was ruined by update. the item code looked ok so i copied and made changes but am going to have to redo as none currently reload). rambled again.... i want to add custom icons/sprites for my guns, read it can be done but the tutorial was very bad and poorly translated, or my understanding of lua is just that bad, and i plan on adding lots of recipes and other items after i finish this (crafting silencers, generator of some type for after power is out, and much much more, i have a huge imagination, and i could use the help of someone who knows a lil bit about this stuff. I have the time and desire to do a lot of modding so any and all help is very appreciated. and i couldnt get anything to work in the "Mod" folder so i've been putting everything in the base game files, not sure if thats the best way to do it or not but after i finish some more work im going to upload and ill need to consolidate the files if possible, any help here be great. sorry for the shit typing, and rambling. if you need anymore info about how i went about this just ask and ill try to respond asap. thanks for reading.
