IWBUMS 41.51 released!


Batsphinx

Recommended Posts

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
 

Project Zomboid IWBUMS beta update 41.51 contains significant optimizations to our save game system. As such any saved games played in 41.50 will NOT be operational.
 

A separate Steam beta containing the previous 41.50 build has been provided so that you can continue and finish your current game.
 

Similarly, in a changelist as big as this some mods WILL become incompatible.

 

If you enjoy playing modded PZ then please consider using the provided 41.50 beta to allow the creators of your favourite mods some time to update to 41.51.
 

This version also sees some of the foundational aspects of PZ updated to more recent versions - with it now running on Java 15 and LWJGL 3.2.3. These have, and will in future, give us access to many new optimizations and engine features.
 

Although any incompatibilities found in our testing group have been fixed, some issues may occur on outlier system set-ups, so please report any misbehaviour to us!

 

If 41.51 fails to run then please make sure you are not running an non-updated version of Windows 10, as the 64 bit version of 41.51 is incompatible with some older versions. The game should account for this, and choose not to load incompatible optimization features, but this might still be an advisable first step on a failed launch.

- Added a separate menu "[DEBUG] Vehicle > Set Script (Smashed)" for smashed vehicles.
- Allow deleting map_zone.bin from the "More..." load-game ui in debug mode.


LOOT DISTRIBUTION CHANGES

 

Partially implemented new system - as yet untouched loot tables remain the same as before.
 

New more handcrafted loot placement / container system used for places like Giga-Mart and residential kitchens now applied to the rest of the map. Locations that previously spawned random grab-bags of loot (like Spiffo’s) should have their contents sorted into relevant lists: If you’re looking for a bladed weapon or some fresh-cut chops, try looking around the kitchen of any place that sells meat (i.e, not a bakery) for the meat-cutting station. If it’s baking supplies you need, look for where the sacks of flour are stored-- they’ll probably be next to a rolling pin.

Convenience stores, corner stores, and gas stations have had their shelves’ contents sorted so loose cigarettes no longer mix with the lollipops. Players who visit the pharmacy already have an idea of how the shelves are laid out: Some have snacks, some have drinks. You’re less likely to find medicine in a gas station but it’s not unheard of-- ditto car supplies in a Zippee’s. If you want the most of a particular kind of item, it’s best to stick to the relevant business. Gas station tylenol is a ripoff anyway.

Medical locations now sort their contents into tools, medicine, and doctor-related stuff like gloves, masks, and scrubs. Bars, beauty salons, butcher shops, cafes, and liquor stores all take the same approach. Giant ‘catch all’ loot lists should eventually be replaced with tailored selections of items that are relevant to the location they’re spawned in.


MOVABLES
 

- Fixed movable items, such as radios from cars, having correct condition when placed and picked up again.
- Movables can now be dismantled from inventory, except for the multi tile object ones i.e: beds.
- Added MovableRecipe which has no script definitions, instead gets created on the fly from movable definitions.
- Refactored some stuff so the MovableRecipe has the same chances, xp, resultitems, equipitems etc as world object dismantling.
- Single tile Movable items are now defined as 'Moveables.world_object_sprite_here" instead of all being 'Moveables.Moveable'.
 this also means these movables can be easily instanced directly now


CONTROLLERS UPDATE
 

- Removed the old JInput library which was used for controllers.  The GLFW library, part of LWJGL 3, is now used.
- GLFW has a database of several hundred Xbox-like controllers, including PlayStation controllers, so these should
 have a good chance of working.  Recognized controllers are listed in media\gamecontrollerdb.txt.
- The user can create their own gamecontrollerdb.txt file in their User\Zomboid\joypads directory.  This can be done
 to add new controllers or to override a controller in the game's media\gamecontrollerdb.txt.
- The game should handle controllers disconnecting and reconnecting during play.  If player 1's controller is
 disconnected, they can choose to revert to keyboard and mouse input.
- The controller X button now rotates objects in Place mode.

MODDING


- Allow modders to add new vehicle zones to the global VehicleZoneDefinition table.
 Previously, only the game's zone names and types were allowed.
 This should work for any vehicle zone not called TestVehicles or containing TrafficJam.

- Added support for loading animations from a mod's media/anims_X directory (and subdirectories of that). It should handle activating and deactivating mods.
 

- Global ModData

Registers moddata tables with a given String key.
When Global Moddata is initialised during world loading it triggers the event "OnInitGlobalModData" with parameter: boolean isNewGame.
LuaTable ModData.create(String key) creates and returns the table with given key, returns null if the table already exists.
String ModData.create() creates a table with a random UUID key, note: returns the string key.
LuaTable ModData.getOrCreate(String key) gets or creates the table with given key.
LuaTable ModData.get(String key) returns the table with given key or null.
boolean ModData.exists(String key) return true if table with given key exists.
LuaTable ModData.remove(String key) removes the table with given key if exists and returns it or null.
void ModData.add(String key, LuaTable table) store the table with given key (overrides any existing table).
ArrayList getTableNames() returns a list of all registered tables.

Networking

Global ModData is not synced between server and client as depending on what the moddata is being used for this may not be required or even unwanted.
Syncing of data where needed is up to coder/author. There are however two methods for networking:
void ModData.transmit(String key)
- this will attempt to transmit the table with given key, when called on server this is send to all clients, when called on client send to server. (see note on receiving moddata below)
void ModData.request(String key)
- client only, this sends a request to server to send back the table with given key to this client.
When the server or the client receives a moddata packet it is not automatically added to the local register.
Instead the packet is read and the event "OnReceiveGlobalModData" is triggered, the String key and LuaTable table are passed as arguments.
NOTE: the table argument can be 'false' when moddata packet replied to a ModData.request.
The coder/author can then decide to parse, register or keep it as temporary lua table only etc.


- Fixed issues with setting appropriate texture flags when loading mod texture packs.
    - World textures were missing the flag to create mipmaps, resulting in "sparkly" textures when zoomed out.
    - Floor textures were using compression, resulting in visual artifacts sometimes.
    - UI textures were using compression and "mag linear" filtering instead of "mag nearest" filtering.
    - When a mod texture-pack name ends with ".floor", compression is turned off.
    - For texture packs containing UI textures and/or item textures, the mod.info file should add "type=ui" to pack= lines, like this:
    pack=MyPackFile 
    type=ui


- Allow vehicle scripts to override the "model" without a name.
 Previously, "model XYZ" would override a previously-declared "model XYZ", but "model" alone wouldn't override "model".
 
- Allow mods to define custom sandbox options.
 Each file called media/sandbox-options.txt that exists is loaded before Lua files are loaded.
 
- Allow mods to define custom perks (Skills ingame).
 Each file called media/perks.txt that exists is loaded before scripts and Lua files are loaded.
 New perks and perk categories can be defined.
 This required removing the Perks enum.  Now Perks is a class containing static instances of Perk.
 So Perks.Strength is now the Strength perk itself instead of an enum value.
 The Lua Perks table contains the predefined perks and also any custom perks.
 Fortunately, these changes didn't require any changes to Lua files. 


- Added textureShadow property to vehicle scripts to allow overriding the shadow texture.
 For example, write "textureShadow = schoolbag_spiffo," without quotes.


- recipe.Prop1 and recipe.Prop2 can specify a source item to display in the player's hand.
 For example, Prop1:Source=2 will use either the Saw or GardenSaw model:
 
    recipe Saw Logs
    {
       Log,
       keep Saw/GardenSaw,
       Prop1:Source=2,
       Prop2:Log,
    }
 The Log model could also be specified as Prop2:Source=1.


- Vehicle windows will have color from the textureLights texture applied. This was added for the boat mod. Call BaseVehicle.setWindowLightsOn(true|false) to control this.  This setting isn't saved, or synced in multiplayer.

- Vehicle-shadow size and position may be set using the shadowExtents and shadowOffset properties in vehicle scripts. These can be edited in the vehicle editor, under the Chassis section.


- Fixed "Mod: XYZ" in item tooltips for mod items always displaying the name of the last mod loaded.
- Added Tooltip.ModName debug option to control displaying "Mod: XYZ" in item tooltips for mod items.
 This could be changed to a Display option if wanted (translations needed though).

- Added GameTime helicopter-related methods for mods:
 int getHelicopterDay()
 setHelicopterDay(int day)
 
 int getHelicopterStartHour()
 setHelicopterStartHour(int hour) // 0-24
 int getHelicopterEndHour()
 setHelicopterEndHour(int hour) // 0-24

- Use the proper distance instead of Manhattan distance in IsoPlayer.updateLOS().
- Fixed IsoGameCharacter.updateSeenVisibility() not handling the see-nearby-characters radius, resulting in zombies behind the player (or nearby but outside the vision cone) not becoming visible when they should


- Don't use shared animations on the nearest 20 zombies, to avoid foot-sliding when they're lunging. IsoWorld.sceneCullZombies() already sorts zombies by visibility and distance, so it is used to set a flag on zombies that shouldn't use shared animations.
 
- Removed IsoPlayer.m_moveDelta because IsoGameCharacter.m_moveDelta already exists.  The value is always 1.0 in any case

Great works!
Now is it the intended specification that "308Clip" for MSR788 Hunting Rifle are usable and "223Clip" for MSR700 Vermint Rifle remain unusable?
And it is confusing that the "308Clip" and "M14Clip" have the same display name ".308 Magazine", so I think it needs to be fixed.

First thing I wanted to do was stress out the garbage collector and see how it works with the 'travel chug'. Anyone who's done a lot of driving in PZ knows that after you go a ways down the road, it starts to stutter and the game gets real choppy and freezes for a few seconds and the only remedy was to restart the game, which can get pretty frustrating when you only just started playing 15 minutes ago and go on a cross-country drive.

I started an Apocalypse sandbox but with easy use vehicles so I could get on the road as quick as I could. Started in West Point and drove west towards the northern outskirts of Ekron, then further west to Scenic Grove, then beyond that to the gas station along the highway on the far west edge of the map.

 

And while you still do get the 'travel chug' from driving a long distance, the garbage collector does its job and, without intervention, it would go away when it would do its cleanup. I didn't need to restart my game to get rid of stuttering or freezing, and was able to fight and do everything smoothly once I got there. So thank you, thank you, thank you! 41.51 remedies one of my biggest gripes and lets you keep playing without having to restart to fix long distance travel!

This is kinda dissapointing tbh. It's too big IMO, and you can't enable/disable the alarm from the ui. Also a lot of the female hair cuts still go to a pony tail when wearing a hat, even though we have the long hair for hats. I also noticed some of the new DEBUG uis don't work (they don't open anything)

Other than that pretty cool update. Love the mohawk details. Props for the optimisation (just spawned 1k zeds, and the game is actually running, so that's really greatt to see!)

This explains why my save from yesterday is 'old' now. Of course I'd buy a game 2 days before a save-breaking update... Anyway, thanks for the 41.50 compatibility option, I just got to a point where my latest character is in a semi-stable position and I'm glad I get to find out how he dies :D

I haven't had a chance to test this with all the new curtain items yet, but once in your inventory, at least some of them cannot be dropped on the ground, meaning my character is stuck with additional weight until I find a window to place them on or a container to store them in.

Awesome, thanks devs! Its really helpful to be getting updates again and breathe some improvements into the game.

 

Happy to see all the changes/updates though I don't fully understand the diabolical hate y'all have for fanny packs. They were already pretty bad weight/reduction ratio, and now even worse.

They were 1 weight and crap reduction.

Now they are 0.2 + 50 reduction, thats much better

 

Its a fanny pack, not a garage warehouse to store trillion items

Ah your right, item weight and weight reduction are improved, but lowering capacity from 3 to 1 makes it pretty bad.

Anyone else got this wierd bug  which won't let you sleep more than once?

Slept through one night just as normal and now the dialogue box with yes/no wont show up when I try to sleep again thereby not allowing me to sleep...

Bug or am I missing something?

Well, now I have to uninstall my mods, but pretty cool.

 

Gotta say, not sure why you nerfed fanny packs, they were already kind of underwhelming as is, and didn't make a particularly significant difference even when paired with backpacks. Now they're just kinda worthless.

Not Really , i am playing comfortable with all my mods that were installed on 41.50 , and the game seems to run fine. 
(with over 30+ mods)
