Some little helper scripts for modders

[stuck1a]

Hey there,

I just wanted to share some of my util scripts I recently use with IDEA run configurations. Maybe anyone else will benefit from it, too.

The batch scripts will of course only work under windows.

 

UpdateSteamWorkshopObject.bat

@ECHO off
:: Update-Script for Zomboid Steam-WorkshopItems
:: Usage-Example:
:: UpdateSteamWorkshopObject 522891356

:: Adjust these paths as needed
SET steamcmd=E:/Programme/SteamCMD/steamcmd.exe
SET steamdir=E:/Programme/Steam

"%steamcmd%"  +force_install_dir "%steamdir%" +login anonymous +workshop_download_item 108600 %~1 +quit

 

 

HardresetDebugServer.bat

:: Path to your dev servers "zomboid" directory
:: Use with care, it will delete all multiplayer save files within in and the server database file
SET zomboid_directory=E:\Development\Java Workspace\ProjectZomboidModding\appdata
SET servername=DebugServer

DEL "%zomboid_directory%\db\%servername%.db" /F /Q
DEL "%zomboid_directory%\Saves\Multiplayer\" /S /F /Q
FOR /D %%a IN ("%zomboid_directory%\Saves\Multiplayer\*.*") DO RD /Q /S "%%a"
EXIT

 

 

spawnpoints2objects.lua

-- Script to convert spawnpoints in the format like given in spawnpoints.lua files to the format required for objects.lua in maps.
-- I mainly use this to fix/adjust spawnpoints of 3rd party maps I adapt.

-- EXAMPLE DATA. Replace as needed
spawnpoints = {
  unemployed = {
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 23, posX = 80,  posY = 124, posZ = 0 },
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 22, posX = 243, posY = 96,  posZ = 0 },
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 22, posX = 94,  posY = 102, posZ = 0 },
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 22, posX = 12,  posY = 124, posZ = 0 },
    { worldX = 37, worldY = 22, posX = 197, posY = 130, posZ = 0 },
  },
  cook = {
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 23, posX = 122, posY = 12, posZ = 1 },
    { worldX = 38, worldY = 22, posX = 12,  posY = 287, posZ = 0 },
  },
}



for profession, entries in pairs(spawnpoints) do
  local prof = tostring(profession)
  if prof == 'unemployed' then prof = 'all' end
  for _, v in pairs(entries) do
    print("{ name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = "..v.worldX*300+v.posX..", y = "..v.worldY*300+v.posY..", z = "..(v.posZ or "0")..", width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = '"..prof.."' } },")
  end
end


-- THIS WILL OUTPUT:
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11522, y = 6912, z = 1, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'cook' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11412, y = 6887, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'cook' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11480, y = 7024, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'all' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11643, y = 6696, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'all' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11494, y = 6702, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'all' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11412, y = 6724, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'all' } },
-- { name = '', type = 'SpawnPoint', x = 11297, y = 6730, z = 0, width = 1, height = 1, properties = { Professions = 'all' } },

If you add the this PHP script as remote tool, you can simply right click on any valid worldmap.xml and call the script. Works similar like the in-game map definitions tool.

Here is my remote tool definition as example:

 

 

 

Well, I guess that's enough so far.
