Pann Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I am definitely new to modding, but have been working on a custom professions mod. My mod currently makes custom professions and then adds items to them based on the selected job. My question comes down to adding in items from a different mod? I can get it to load with base game objects, but I am not able to get it to load Hydrocraft items. Is there a resource that might point me in the right direction? I'm sure its something simple.

FinestHops Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Is the mod up on steam or do you have a download link to look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris_Wolf Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Sounds like your probably missing the module prefix when trying to add items. ie "Hydrocraft.HCArmorkevlar" instead of just "HCArmorkevlar". Module prefix's aren't required for base items. But code samples would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that that I need to "require" it, but that is just a guess rather than actual knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your trying to add existing items to a inventory using lua, then you don't need to require anything. Tested on v38.30, created a new mod, and the entire mod's code: Events.OnNewGame.Add(function(player, square) local prof = player:getDescriptor():getProfession() if prof == "policeofficer" then player:getInventory():AddItem("ORGM.Ber92") player:getInventory():AddItem("ORGM.Ber92Mag") player:getInventory():AddItem("ORGM.Ammo_9x19mm_FMJ_Box") end end) Started me off with one Beretta 92FS, 1 spare mag and 1 box of 9x19mm Full Metal Jacket bullets from ORGM.

FinestHops Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) I responded on steam but it seems you have been away since then. Easiest way is to hit me up on discord honestly. Legion#1790 I have discord tied to my phone as well while steam I only have access to on a computer. I am sure with a sample of code will shed some light on what the issue might be. To be honest, I would love to see a mod like this finished and working properly because it sounds like something that we might actually use as well. Would cut back on item spawning for sure. Worst case if it doesn't fit this lore, there is always the option of next lore as well. Plus its just the kind of mod I think would really add to the game itself.

jianmingyong Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Maybe your mod load earlier than hydrocraft by folder naming conventions. If your mod load earlier than anything else, you can't really spawn anything custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I found for example with OTR, having the mod listed at the end on the right caused it to bug but marking it to the left make it work flawlessly. Might not be the case and could just be that I only THINK it does better that way. Edited February 7, 2018 by FinestHops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used your exact code, and it worked. When I substituted the kevlar vest code from hydrocraft, it didn't show up, but the other three items did.

PZ queues all mods for loading, loads all script items from all mods, then loads all lua. So even if technically the new mod is loaded first, Hydrocraft's items are already registered by the time it hits the lua. The spawn code is even further delayed by being on a event anyways.

I just loaded up HC and added the following line under the 3 ORGM item from the example above: inventory:AddItem("Hydrocraft.HCArmorkevlar") Worked fine for me started with the kevlar vest in addition to the gun and ammo. And just to confirm this is not a load order issue: MOD: loading ORGM MOD: loading ProfessionItems <<<<<<<< loaded in the middle MOD: loading Hydrocraft Is HC actually getting loaded on your end ok? Because there must be something screwy going on. Pann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pann Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 I did a reinstall of hydrocraft, and it is working now. Something was apparently screwy there. Thanks for your help everyone. Fenris_Wolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
