2.9.9.19 Crafting Nails Mod

[Shivster]

Ok so i'm new to this modding thing. And one thing that drives me mad is that i cant build the fort i wanted cuz of the scarcity of nails. So i made this little mob to fix one of my issues. I think in its current form it is very harsh. But like this game i like this mod for that reason. Big thanks to RobertJohnson & Robomat For the help with syntax.

Download:

Just download, unzip, and drop the Folder into C:\Program Files (x86)\User\Your name\Zomboid\Mods.
v1.0.4

Things i will be adding later:
-need of a camp fire kit to forge nails(once i can get it to work). DONE thanks RoboMat!
-add Ingots to possible loot and as a item. Done Tyvm Kinyoshi and 7Roses!
-Make some tweeks to the amount of nails you get to make it more of a real return.

 

The mod is finished i have made one last change to make it mod loader ready.

Ok one last change added. You can now smelt Silverware to make ingots.

 

Here is a list of what you can make with this mod.

My bad for not replying sooner, good mod , always need more nails.

[7Roses]

can't you add a script so you don't need to overwrite?

 

something like

 

createNails.lua

require "Items/SuburbsDistribution";craftNails = {};craftNails.MOD_ID = "craftNails"; craftNails.distribution = function()  table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"].items,"Nails.Ingot");  table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["crate"]["items"],1.1); -- the .items or ["items"] are equivalentend Events.onGameBoot.Add(craftNails.distribution);

this should let you add items to the table of SuburbsDistributions without the need to overwrite the file itself.

I'm using the format RoboMat and others use. Edit: Boy I sound rude

-- ================================================ ----     Crafting Nails Mod    ---- ================================================ -- require "Items/SuburbsDistributions"; CraftingNailsMod = {}CraftingNailsMod.version = "1.0.0";CraftingNailsMod.author = "7Roses";CraftingNailsMod.modName = "Crafting Nails Mod"; -- -------------------------------------------------- Functions-- ----------------------------------------------------- Prints out the mod info on startup.function CraftingNailsMod.init()print("Mod Loaded: " ..

[7Roses]

it's the same format I discussed with them

only the difference with my format is that the init is changed into a load,

this because my PZMLoader and PZMLLittle search every modtabe to find that function and then execute it.

[kinyoshi]

oh. I tried

[Shivster]

Yep ill work on that now. Haven't had much time to look at forums lately  sorry about taking so much time to respond. Been working hard on my Jerky Mod been trying to make it cook the way i want it to. adding charcoal to the game and lots of ingredients and time is running out my goal it to have it done by 2.9.9.11 release.

[Shivster]

ok changed to a different file, so no more overwriting but since i have you here what do you think about the amount of nails? should i raise it lower it or leave it?

aa well I dont play PZ much (I'm terrible at it, much better at creating or aiding modders then playing )

will try it out today

 

you actually already have a problem, the distribution file is a lua script, so the extension should be .lua not .txt (it isn't loaded at the moment..)

also can you change the directory for that file to /media/lua/mods/CraftNails/.. ? then its faster to find for deinstall/install or just for organizing what is from PZ and what are mods for PZ

Hehe i did that with my file just not the one in the folder will fix that and the directory as requested.

Pardon me good sir but does this work with the current version? If so your the man

[7Roses]

as the tag on the topic says 2.9.9.10 I believe your question is answerd, yes it should work for the current version and beyond.

[Sooner535]

Oh haha pardon me I'm new to the forums, could you point out where that info is so I may see it in the future? Also thanks for the response ill be using this mod with extreme happiness

This may seem like a stupid question but how do you make the camp fire kit ^.^

[7Roses]

the tag mostly are found right under the topic title,

most authors of mod topic place the tag that contains the version as different tag, this makes those tags found on the forum as a pre text of the topic itself

for exampl this topic should have been found on the Complete mods > wapons/items forum with next title:

 

[2.9.9.10] Crafting nails mod

 

as of your question of the campfire, try 3 wooden planks, not sure if you need anything else like a saw or so but at leas you need 3 planks of wood

[Sooner535]

Thanks rose, man you guys here are the best lol patient and understanding I like that it'll be really fun when multiplayer roles along

[Shivster]

To make a campfire kit you need 3 planks and bandaids.(or paper of some kind)

[Sooner535]

Lol Time to put all that freaking newspaper stuff to good use ^.^

[Shivster]

Mod is finished. Will post my Jerky mod in a few its ready for testing.

[Zombie_Anomaly]

I like the idea behind this mod, but is there any way we can smelt ingots with a campfire (and maybe a frying pan?) out of things like tin cans, busted hammers, knives, and most importantly SILVERWARE!  Lol.  Would be nice to have a use for all those spoons...

 

also, it seems that i cant download it from pzmods.net, says the file is gone from your dropbox

[dred]

Great mod!

[GreenFabre]

But how does one smelt? I already made a campfire kit, that's the only thing I can see in the first post.

is there a list of items somewhere that can be smelted where newbies can see?
