[A21] khzmusik's Modlets

Brain75 · April 8

I found a "two mods combined bug" - since both mods are yours I consider it a "bug" or oversight... if they were from different authors it would be an "incompatibility" .... If you put both snowberry love and food spoilage in a game, the snowberries, paste, and seed scrap to Divide by Zero force bringing up the log and barfing all over the screen. the tea scraps to glass... I am thinking the best fix would be to remove the attribute scrappable so they don't even have a scrap menu option.

I did not test this with just snowberry love mod alone but the more I look at it, the more I think it is unrelated to the food spoilage mod.

Hey, glad you're enjoying the mods.

I just got back from a week-long vacation with my family, so I haven't been checking the forums.

Since you did the food spoilage, I think you are the guy to ask for this... could you consider a new mod request. Expanded storage for vehicles - not over the top ridiculos like adding C130 cargo storage to a bicycle, but realistic like adding a saddle bags to bicycle/minibike/motorcycle and ...... here's the big one.... also Coolers - little strap on coolers to bicycle, etc... One guy has already modeled the cooler into a vehicle - the flat bottom boat, be nice if your spoilage mod made that appropriately preservative.

I'm actually not sure I'm a good person to ask about vehicles. I haven't really worked with them all that much.

I looked into it briefly, and it would take a lot of research just to figure out if it's feasible. If it's possible to actually swap out a vehicle's container, then it might be possible to make a mod that swaps it out to a bigger container which has a higher "preserve" value. But so far I don't think that's possible. So, no promises.

also I think yo missed something in the food spoilage for SnoBalls and Twinkies... I see you removed the property Spoilable, but they still spoil. (since they inherit from cornbread??) - I managed to get them to not spoil in my own tweak just thinking you wanted to check yours.

My mod has neither SnoBalls nor Twinkies. (It does have "preserved pies" which are supposed to be like Drake's or Hostess fruit pies.) Those probably come from another mod.

The way I add food spoilage tags is by the item's name in the XML. It should start with "food" or "resourceCrop" and not contain "Can", "Schematic", or "Magazine". If the other mod doesn't follow this convention, then you'll need to make a compatibility modlet.

Another possibility is that the other mod loads after mine (mods load in alphabetical order). If that's the case, then you could rename my mod folder with a "z_" prefix to make it load later.

That's very odd. None of them have a "scrappable" attribute, and the ones that have materials, have the same materials as their vanilla counterparts. I will investigate.

I just double checked. With both Food Spoilage and Snowberry Love mods installed, seeds, paste, and drinks do not scrap at all. I also double-checked what items they spoiled to (for those items that spoil), and they spoil to vanilla items, so there should be no issues.

Thanks for the prompt check - I am running ravenhearst + snow berry love, so guessing it is some other add or remove or or that causes the issue, I've hunted and can't find it - in fact there is not one single reference to snowberry I can find outside of biome frequency and your modlets. The more I dig into snowberry I wish it was a little more like real life - +1 food, -1 health, 1% chance of dysentery. As it stands it is not farm-able within ravenhearst because it does not have a lot of properties that it needs to make it work with Ravenhearst's extended farming modlet that too is a bit of a "I wish" item .

New mod:

Trader Routes: Biome Progression

This mod changes the "Opening Trade Routes" quests, so they progress through the biomes as the tier changes.

XPath only ("server-side").

Here is where the Opening Trade Routes quests send you:

Tier 2: Any biome except the Wasteland (unchanged from vanilla)

Tier 3: Any biome except the Pine Forest or the Wasteland

Tier 4: Any biome except the Pine Forest

Tier 5: Snow or Wasteland biomes only (technically, any biome except the Burnt Forest, Desert, or Pine Forest)

Repo: https://gitlab.com/karlgiesing/7d2d-a21-modlets/-/tree/main/khzmusik_Trade_Routes_Biome_Progression

Download: https://gitlab.com/karlgiesing/7d2d-a21-modlets/-/archive/main/7d2d-a21-modlets-main.zip?path=khzmusik_Trade_Routes_Biome_Progression

We're very interested in trying your Biome Progression mod. One question.

To make the final trader be in the wasteland we will enable that last section of xml. Should we then disable the preceding section also dealing with tier5_nexttrader ?

TIA

No, you shouldn't remove the existing tier5_nexttrader code. That code appends the "biome_filter" variable, which is needed.

The commented-out code includes this:

<set xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier5_nexttrader']/variable[@name='biome_filter']/@value">wasteland</set>

That will change the value of the "biome_filter" variable to "wasteland".

An alternative is to replace the existing tier5_nexttrader code with this:

<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier5_nexttrader']">
    <variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome" />
    <variable name="biome_filter" value="wasteland" />
</append>

But, I figured that it would be easier for people to just remove comments.

Thank you!

Max Headroom · May 6

Using your biome progression mod as a template I am attempting to force the entire progression sequence from a pine forest start to be: burnt_forest => desert => snow => wasteland. What I've done isn't working. At the conclusion of tier-1 I'm getting the snow biome. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I mistyped. I'm looking for pine_forest => desert => burnt_forest => snow => wasteland.

Here's my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>

<remove xpath="//quest[contains(@id, 'nexttrader')]/variable[@name='biome_filter_type']" />
<remove xpath="//quest[contains(@id, 'nexttrader')]/variable[@name='biome_filter']" />


<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier2_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter" value="pine_forest,burnt_forest,snow,wasteland" />
</append>
<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier3_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter" value="pine_forest,snow,wasteland" />
</append>
<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier4_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter" value="pine_forest,wasteland" />
</append>
<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier5_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter" value="pine_forest" />
</append>



<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier2_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome" />
</append>
<set xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier2_nexttrader']/variable[@name='biome_filter']/@value">desert</set>

<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier3_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome" />
</append>
<set xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier3_nexttrader']/variable[@name='biome_filter']/@value">wasteland</set>

<append xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier4_nexttrader']">
<variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome" />
</append>
<set xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier4_nexttrader']/variable[@name='biome_filter']/@value">snow</set>

<variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome" />
</append>

</config>

The relevant section of the ConfigsDump\quests.xml looks like this:

*snip*

I have a test game saved just before turning in the last tier 1 quest. The "next trader" quest given is in the snow biome. I'm stumped.

Max Headroom · May 7

OOhhh ...

The two remove statements are leaving the following in tier2_nexttrader quest

Can't be good.

Max Headroom · May 7

Alrighty. I'm a newb at this so I watched one of David Taylors videos on doing simple things in 7dtd with xml. The following will reach into the tier2_nexttrader quest and changes the default biome filter in the /objective.

<set xpath="/quests/quest[@id='tier2_nexttrader']/objective[@type='Goto'][@id='trader']/property[@name='biome_filter']/@value">pine_forest,burnt_forest,snow,wastland</set>

In vanilla form only the wasteland was filtered out. Without changing that I was getting my day-3 self sent to the snow biome no matter what else I did. Just the way my test map fell out, the snow biome was closest.

It looks like tiers 3-5 are all based on the tier2_nexttrader quest so I hope this does not mess with them. They do each have (biome) difficulties set which may make the rest of this moot. But since I got snow for tier2 those may not be effective. I'll find out as I do my test play-through.

khzmusik · May 7

I'm reading this late in the evening, and I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff, but I did notice one thing.

If you have duplicate XML property tags with the same property name, then the last one "wins" (because it is that last one that is read by the XML reader).

This is relevant for the following XML:

<variable name="biome_filter" value="pine_forest,burnt_forest,snow,wasteland">
  <!--Element appended by: "MaxHeadroom_Trade_Routes_Biome_Progression"-->
</variable>
<variable name="biome_filter_type" value="OnlyBiome">
  <!--Element appended by: "MaxHeadroom_Trade_Routes_Biome_Progression"-->
</variable>
<variable name="biome_filter" value="desert">
  <!--Element appended by: "MaxHeadroom_Trade_Routes_Biome_Progression"-->
</variable>

Notice the "biome_filter" variable is specified twice. Only the latter one (with the value "desert") will be the value used by the game.

I'm just doing an overview now. I'm sure there is more stuff that I can triage, but that is what I have for now.

They do, and that's in progress.

My goal is to update everything that isn't dependent upon something else (like SCore) the moment that 1.0 goes out of experimental. I already have several ready, if you want to get a head start (or just do some pre-release testing):

https://gitlab.com/karlgiesing/7d2d-1.0-mods/-/tree/release/1.0?ref_type=heads

There are also WIP 1.0 versions of SCore and NPC Core. Those aren't ready yet, but they're both looking good in pre-release testing, so it's possible my NPC mods will also be ready for 1.0 stable.

Once that happens I'm creating a new forum post, hopefully better organized this time, and I might put the mods on Nexus as well.

MrSamuelAdams · July 3

Thank you.

I will check these out and since I saw Score and NPC. I was trying it out today and added your 1-XNPCCore_khzmusik_Remove_Core_Characters

Seems to be working so far? But I've only been testing it it for 45min so far.

dujinyuan · July 3

I need the Food Spoilage mod~...I need it now!~the Score and NPC mod 1.0 versions test is coming..Please i need that mod...OK..My viewers need it...

MrSamuelAdams · July 3

I'm sure you know, but been testing stuff seems like your mod 1-khzmusik_Zombies is making these errors and this was in b309.

All good just wanted to let you know!

Food spoilage is on the list, but there seems to be issues with it. Everything works, but the food spoilage in containers seems to be way off (they don't spoil fast enough). I'm still looking into it, don't know if the game changed or if I was just testing wrong. Hopefully the latter.

Just FYI, if it's not in the new 1.0 repo link that I posted above, assume it's not ready for testing yet.

In this case, I haven't even glanced at any of the NPC stuff, since NPC Core just came out with a 1.0 testing version on Monday (I think) and the game dropped a new update on Tuesday.

Having said that, it looks like that is sorted in NPC Core. I just have to copy the fix into my own zombies mod since it doesn't rely on NPC Core.

But also having said that, there are a couple of zombies that need to be redone, so that pack won't be ready immediately in any case.

I see you are still working on it~~~~I didn't mean to bother you.. glad to see you say that....I'll be waiting....

I am working on the Rain Collector mod and would like some feedback.

1. Should I continue to support the ability to give more "slots" to the dew collector? Vanilla grants access for each slot to have multiple items, so I'm not sure its' worth it. That ability is risky since it relies upon the window having the same "slots" as the dew collector. Isi it worth it?

2. Should Rain Collectors still be chunk observers? That feature allows them to be more reliable, but it has a performance impact. Also if I don't need to support that, then an entire class of Harmony patches could be removed. I'm leaning heavily towards removing that feature but I want feedback.

PLEASE let me know what you think.

I'm no expert but first of all, thanks for your hard and amazing work! Love your mods and modlets. Still having a hard time understanding part of it but I'm almost there.

1 - I agree it's not worth it.

2 - I'd go for the best performance way as you're leaning too.

1. I don't think this is needed anymore.

2. I'm torn on this. On one hand it is nice for it to check for rain, on the other I don't know if it is worth the performance hit anymore. Vanilla fills so fast with upgrades I don't think it would even be noticeable for rain to affect it.

Now that I wrote that out I think you can stop support for both 1 and 2. I would prefer you to focus on the NPC mods. Especially the friendly ones, which is what I use
