modlet request

[dragonslayer770]

hi all I was wondering if someone could make me a Jason mod? I've tried to make it for alpha 17 but I couldn't follow the videos on youtube they were all over the place. I would very much appreciate it.

and one to change the food and water debuffs to warn you at 50% and 25% and for the water not to drain your life until it reaches zero. and the xpath for a recipe to change the amount it makes and the amount of resources it takes, (like the trapspikes how much u make and the amount of wood it takes to make them).

thank you in advance.

I think that should do it for the second modlet request.

what the hell.

How do you people figure this stuff out!

@Adam the Waster, here is a thread about it, here it is

https://7daystodie.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?95-Discussion-and-Requests

just not sure exactly how it all works.

Here is explained how xpath works.

As for what to change. Well it's logical.

Thirst and hunger and most of the things that appear above your HP/Stamina are buffs/debuffs so logically they should be defined in buffs.xml. I just searched for thirst and the first thing I found was

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="AddBuff" buff="buffStatusThirsty01">
<requirement name="StatComparePercCurrentToMax" stat="Water" operation="LTE" value="0.75"/>
<requirement name="NotHasBuff" buff="buffStatusThirsty02"/>
</triggered_effect>

which was under buff named buffStatusCheck01. This code adds buff named buffStatusThirsty01 and 1 of the requirements for that seems to be StatComparePercCurrentToMax->Water->LTE->0.75 (0.75 == 75%, percentages in the XML are stored as values between 0 and 1 apparently) which means "Water stat has to be Less Than or Equal to 75%". Then I went to buffStatusThirsty01 and buffStatusThirsty02 to see what they do. I saw that buffStatusThirsty01 removes itself when StatComparePercCurrentToMax->Water->LTE->0.77. buffStatusThirsty02 has

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffUpdate" action="ModifyStats" stat="Health" operation="subtract" value=".5">
<requirement name="StatComparePercCurrentToMax" stat="Water" operation="LTE" value=".26"/>
</triggered_effect>

which is pretty self explanatory (subtract 0.5HP if Water<26%).

Also a lot of the things (tags/"functions") that are used in the XML files are explained at the bottom of every XML file.

couldn't follow the videos on youtube they were all over the place.

That's because most video tuts are made by lazy f***s who think a video tut is quicker/easier than a text tut. Reality is that any video tut that doesn't require more work than a text tut is going to be garbage.

Do u know of any good videos for rigging up a new zombie and adding it to the game?

It'll be a lot to process, but do all of these:

[dragonslayer770]

Tried them they where all over too hard to follow They’re not in order and they skip around to much

 

[Guppycur]

Use in conjunction with this then; https://7d2dsdx.github.io/Tutorials/

...the order isn't important, there's so many things to do, just pick a playlist and watch it. Each playlist in the link I put up there is its own thing.

I'd go from oldest to newest.
