Build 41, also known as The Animation Overhaul, was released December 20th 2021, and has been titled as such due to its major overhaul of the entire animation system. Plans for this new system were first made public mid–late 2015. Specialists were brought in to help out with some of the larger technical challenges in late 2018, and then went on to improve and build on the system to make it simpler, more reliable, better suited for multiplayer networking and more easily moddable.

Whilst this new system was being developed, the main development team continued to work on new features, with the most notable being vehicles (build 39) and weather (build 40). Whilst the development of the animation system appeared to be slow, this update has been the largest change to the base code in all of Project Zomboid's development, with the second being the addition of vehicles.

Along with the new animation system, the update included new player models, weapons and tools (with unique models), skills, clothing, a new/updated combat system, Louisville (massive city to the North-East), foraging/search system, new in-game map system, new sounds with an overhauled sound system, gamepad/controller improvements, two new challenge maps, reflective and animated water, dynamic puddles, a new exercise mechanic, tailoring, more in-depth player temperature, improved fog and much more.

With large changes already being made to core features of the game, The Indie Stone deemed it a good time to upgrade to run on Java 15 and the latest version of LWJGL (3.2.3). Upgrading to this version of LWJGL susbtantially increased the potential of future versions, most notably being the ability to utilize modern OpenGL/Vulkan technology. Furthermore, this allowed for greater utilisation of modern hardware, by improving game performance, along with vastly improving potential graphical quality.

Build 41.78.12

Date: November 23, 2022
Forum: Build 41.78

  • Propane Torch usage rebalanced for Fixing and Repair scripts to accommodate the change in capacity; all reduced to 2.
  • Added "AllowRottenItem:true" parameter to the recipes to Empty Frying Pans; Griddle Pans; and Roasting Pans. This will allow players to reclaim said pans when they let Stir Fries and Omelettes get rotten.
  • Recipes such as the Mildew Spray Cure, and Emptying Sacks of produce now have the field "AllowRottenItem:true" which allows rotten items to be used in that recipe.
  • Fixed the Make Mildew Cure recipe not allowing both regular and Canned Milk; as players were unable to make this cure after all of the normal Milk has gone rotten.
  • Fixed being unable to use Rotten Milk to make the Mildew Spray Cure.
  • Commented out the "Make Pot of Soup" recipes; they're obsolete given the evolved recipe system which handles this matter better.
  • Fixed being unable to use Canned Soup to make evolved recipe soup.
  • Changed the display name of "Canned Soup" to "Canned Vegetable Soup".
    • Note: To make Pots of Soup with Opened Cans of Soup you must now add them to a Pot of Water, as an evolved recipe soup. This fixes the Super Soup exploit and will allow players to also add additional ingredients to the Soup. The other way of making Pots of Soup was an obsolete and in many ways incompatible method from before the evolved recipe system.
  • Updated the Clean Tray recipe so it works with trays of Biscuit Dough, and also so that it works with rotten and cooked ingredients, so players can always recover a tray from rotten trays of food.
  • Several tweaks to clothing masks.
  • Added missing SetMelee Delay on Pistol Whip animation.
  • Fixed Hoodie and Vest masks to work properly with base mesh.
  • Fixed JokeKnife, JokeArrow, BunnyEars, FurryEars, Antlers and GodStar Headbopper to work with all hairstyles.

  • Fixed Buckets not having been updated to use metal filling sounds instead of plastic filling sounds.
  • Fixed distant players not appearing on the in-game map when the server option allows it.
  • Fixed Male_Undies not having the "OBSOLETE = TRUE" parameter. Also removed them from the foraging pool.

Build 41.78

Date: November 9, 2022
Forum: Build 41.78

NEW

  • Added a prompt for the updated Terms of Service as we are a big boy game now and have to fit in with the other biggerer boys.
  • Added sandbox option to disable Fake Dead Reanimation. Disabled Fake deads in MP by default.

  • Added sandbox option that allows Corpse Maggot spawning to be disabled or limited to corpse inventory.
  • Added sandbox option that allows poisoning food to be disabled, or for poisoning food with bleach to be disabled.
  • Added sandbox option to disable the Tainted Water Tooltip/Warning for hardcore play
  • Added sandbox option for enabling/disabling XP multipliers affecting passive skills, which is false by default.

  • Renamed Item "Weight" to "Encumbrance" in the UI and context menu.
  • Added an Accessibility Option that makes the player character automatically walk to a click container within a short radius of 3 tiles.
  • Added the ability to set custom "Good" and "Bad" highlighting colours in the Accessibility Options menu. This is applied to things like traits, tooltips, and the aiming outline.
  • Added an option to bind "Walk To" to a key instead of having to go through the RMB menu.
  • Added highlighting to clicked Crates so it's easier to tell which crate is selected. This can be enabled or disabled in the in-game Options.
  • Added a Context Menu entry that enables/disables Auto-Drink.
  • Tiles that are being disassembled will now be highlighted in the "bad colour", red being the default.
  • Resolutions higher than 1440p will have their zoom levels adjusted to allow closer zoom-in, bringing it more in line with lower resolutions.
  • Disabled some Randomized Survivor Safehouses from occurring in instances where a building has over 10 rooms, or is a spawn location.
    • The limit is 10 for some and 20 for other Randomized Survivor Safehouses.
    • This also means the Toilet Paper story is now disabled in buildings that have over 10 rooms or are spawn locations, which will likely reduce the amount of Reddit posts about it by 50%.
  • Added a check to prevent any of the randomized burnt building stories from occurring if the building is a spawn location.
  • Changed ISCloseVehicleDoor to play the door closing sound when the action is completed instead of its start. This is to provide better feedback for players in cases where they have unwittingly cancelled this action.
  • Added "HasMetal" tag for items. This tag was added to food and water items in metal containers, which will now set microwaves on fire when microwaved.
  • Adjusted the mechanics UI so that both the Battery Charge and Condition are included in the Battery entry in the list of parts.
  • Modified the vehicle mechanics UI to prominently feature the % of a full tank of gas it has, in addition to the battery charge.
  • Added a few more existing clothing options to the character creation.
  • Added the ability to destroy only one wall when selecting corner walls.

  • Changed the Violet FoodType to NoExplicit.
  • Trash tiles (Movable items) and Plastic Bags can now be used as tinder and fuel for fires.
  • Changed the Sawed-off Shotgun recipes to only use the hacksaw, and not the garden saw; a wood saw would be unable to cut through the metal barrel of a shotgun.
  • Added the Meat Cleaver to the Slice Onions recipe. Removed it from the Jack-o'-lantern recipe.
  • Changed the Cigarettes script to prioritize using Matches before a Lighter if both are in the same inventory.

  • Added a check to prevent items that "weigh" over 50 units from being put in vehicle seats.
    • This is an ongoing issue with bags/containers that are modded over capacity, which get stuck once placed in vehicle seats when the bag + contents have an Encumbrance of >50.
  • Changed translation strings to make bottle names more consistent.
  • Changed IGUI_HouseKey from "House Key" to "Key" to avoid issues with non-residential keys.
  • Removed the numeric information tooltip provided when selecting eat all/half/quarter food item context options.
  • Commented out the tool definitions in ClothingRecipesDefinitions as they currently are nonfunctional and serve no purpose aside from confusing modders.
  • Commented out the WoodenLance in the safehouse weapons distro lists; that item is redundant vs SpearCrafted, and also doesn't work with spear recipes. SpearCrafted already spawns with safehouse weapons.
  • Replaced AmmoStraps in the safehouse armor distro list with AmmoStraps_Bullets and AmmoStraps_Shells.
  • Changed the display name translation string for the wearable AmmoStraps items to Bandolier on account of consistent confusion with the weapon attachment that is also called Ammo Straps.
  • Changed the display name translation string for firearm magazines to use the firearm it is for, and not the caliber, as the prefix. Solves having two .308 Magazines, for both the MSR788 and the M14, and also that's how they're named in real life.
  • Added a tooltip to firearm magazines that displays the ammunition type that it accepts.
  • Added missing models for Candy Corn, Candied Fruit Slices, Hot Sauce, Fountain Cups, JuJubes, Nettles, Shrimp Dumplings, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, Packaged Corn, Pickled Ginger, Sugar Cookies, Fish Sushi, Radio Receivers,Radio Transmitters, Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, and Tent Kits.

MULTIPLAYER

  • Added server option "KnockedDownAllowed" to enable/disable the PVP knockdown.
    • This is a stopgap change to give servers an option to make PVP combat less frustrating before we can address PVP combat more directly in the future.
  • Adjusted Type 3 and 5 Anticheat to reduce false-positives.
  • Added auto-completion for player nicknames when pressing TAB while typing in the Chatbox.
  • Added RCON command "checkModsNeedUpdate" to check for mods that need to be updated.
  • Allow other non-admin permission levels to delete items in inventory/containers.
  • Added Checksum logging for MP servers, enabled by default for now.
  • Extended NetChecksum logs:
    • Client dumps logs into checksum.txt.
    • Client sends logs to server.
    • Server dumps logs into checksum.txt.
    • Server dumps client's logs into checksum- .txt.
  • Multiplayer clients will now retry the GettingServerInfo request 3 times.
  • DB Viewer userlog will now have the amount field increased for repeated counts of suspicious activity.
  • When sorting the relative paths of scripts and Lua files to determine load order, the relative paths are first converted to lowercase. This is to fix platform differences breaking checksums in multiplayer. It also fixes the issue where the same file might be loaded more than once if mods use different capitalization for the same file or folder.
  • Fixed the multiplayer "whisper" command corrupting the Lua environment due to multithreading.
  • Fixed being unable to claim a safehouse unless standing on the ground floor.
  • Fixed not checking upper floors for other players or zombies when claiming a safehouse.
  • Fixed an exception on the server when food rots into a new item in a container that isn't in the world any longer.

BALANCE

  • Modified the M16 & M14 critical values to be more consistent with other rifles.
    • M16 CriticalChance changed from 30 to 25.
      • Added CritDmgMultiplier 10
      • Added AimingPerkCritModifier 12
    • M14 CriticalChance changed from 0 to 30.
      • Added CritDmgMultiplier 10
      • AimingPerkCritModifier 15
  • Disabled the cumulative slowdown until the next shot when firing the M16 in automatic mode. Firing the M16 in automatic mode will cumulatively reduce the chance of a critical with each additional shot. This is intended to represent the loss in accuracy due to recoil.
  • Short summary of the various changes in this changelog that impact the Propane Torch and Propane Tanks. There has been a pretty longstanding bug where Propane Torches were not used up for several Disassemblies. With the fix, usage of them was reduced from 100 to 10 but the number of refills per tank was adjusted from 2 to 16, along with changes that make sure players find more Propane Tanks in the world to offset the reduction.
  • Set some traits to be mutually exclusive to remove exploits or illogical combinations.
  • Hot-Wiring a vehicle will have a low chance of causing a car alarm. The chance for this is decreased further for higher electronics skill levels.
  • Zombies pushing up against a previously unentered stationary vehicle have a chance to set off an alarm.
  • Removed the undesired RNG check that made vehicle alarms go off only 20% of the time.
  • Fixed car hoods being unable to trigger vehicle alarms.
  • Disabled being able to make melee attacks while inside a vehicle with the window rolled down.
  • Randomized the fall damage that zombies take. This randomized spread will average out to the previous damage before it was randomized; this will have a minor impact (hohoho) on the damage that zombies that fall suffer, but slightly more of them will be able to be killed by this than before.
  • Made it so groin injuries from not-crawler zombies are less common, and that crawlers can also inflict uncommon groin injuries.
  • Increased the yield of metal parts when scrapping wrecked vehicles by 33%.
  • Added a new procedural container, "CratePropane", to garages and shed.
  • Increased the spawn rates for Propane Tanks in the distributions.
  • Increased the spawnrate of Thread and added the chance of Sewing Kits to spawn in gloveboxes.
  • Trailer capacity now reduces slightly when damaged, as there was no point in repairing them before.
  • Changed Bowling Ball Bag capacity from 2 to 8.
  • Increase number of Plaster uses to 10, same as Paint.
  • Allow plastic bags and money to be used as tinder
  • Adjusted duration of the stationary Pistol Whip animation, it's now the same length as the shove animation.
  • Adjusted the capacities of pistol and revolver cases from 7 down to 4.
  • Adjusted Encumbrance of the sturdy stick item to 1 to be more consistent with other items.
  • Adjusted Encumbrance of fire extinguishers to 2, to be consistent with other items.
  • Decreased Encumbrance of Walkie-Talkies.
  • Adjusted Encumbrance of the TreeBranch item to match that of a crafted spear, to 1.7 from 1;
    • The Encumbrance discrepancy has been remarked upon repeatedly, and this also serves in making item Encumbrance more consistent.
  • Adjusted the amount of fuel that spawns in fuel pumps at Low and Very Low.
  • Updated the nutritional value for Canned Evaporated Milk. Calories 472; Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins at 23.6
  • Changed the days until rotten for Bagels from 2 to 6.
  • Gave the Stir Fry and roast script items a default hunger value of 10. This was previously reported as a bug when players spawned the item in instead of making it via the evolved recipe.
  • Maggots are slightly more poisonous.
  • Fewer maggots spawn, especially in spring and fall (maggots don't spawn during winter).
  • Maggots are now a default item in the world item removal lists. Added a comment for the world item removal lists explaining that Base.Maggots should stay in the list due to corpse maggots.
  • Additional safeguard to prevent errors when using mods that remove maggots altogether.

DEBUG / MODDING

  • Added a search bar to the LootZed cheat panel.
  • Added vehicle distributions to LootZed.
  • Improved inventory check-in Check Stats panel.
  • Right-clicking on a fuel pump in debug mode will display the amount of fuel in the pump in the right-click context menu.
  • Added logging of player injuries caused by zombies to the console when in debug mode.
  • Added isStartValid function check for BaseTimedAction. Allows checking if an action is valid before the action starts.
  • Added saving ModData from IsoGameCharacter to IsoDeadBody and from IsoDeadBody to IsoZombie.
  • Added "OnPlayerGetDamage" event.
  • Added event "OnWeaponHitThumpable" (Args: character, weapon, object)
  • Added a trigger for the OnFillContainer Event when vehicle part containers are filled.
  • Added the tag "CarBattery" which can be used with mod item car batteries so they can be charged with the vanilla car battery charger.
  • Added the event "OnThrowableExplode", which transmits the IsoTrap and IsoSquare when one detonates.
  • Added a toggle option in the vehicle debug context menu that will show if a vehicle's alarm is enabled or disabled.
  • Changed Fast Move cheat in debug. Players can now levitate on different height levels via the PageUP/PageDown keys, and move around via the Arrow Keys on the different height levels.
  • Made ImageScale, SeatOffsetY and SeatOffsetX global and not local in ISVehicleSeatUI.
  • "Missing translation", "ignoring invalid ItemPicker item type", and "VEHICLE MISSING CONT DISTRIBUTION" console messages will now only appear when using debug mode.
  • Exposed the MediaData.MediaLineData class.
  • When the Sound.WorldSound.Render debug option is enabled, world sounds are rendered according to the Hearing sandbox option.
    • For Hearing=Random (where each zombie may have a different radius) sounds are rendered using the Hearing=Normal radius.
    • This does not mean that their hearing radius is not randomized, it only means that a world sound radius cannot be rendered on a per zombie basis in debug mode.
    • For Hearing=Pinpoint/Normal/Poor, meta-zombie hearing radius is handled properly.
  • FileDifferent, FileNotOnServer, and FileNotOnClient errors will now display the absolute paths of both files. This should make it clearer that a mod might just have been using the wrong capitalization for a folder.

Build 41.77

Date: October 4, 2022
Forum: Build 41.77

MP

  • Improved client connection.
Important for server providers: Servers now have two ports for clients to connect to.
The game port (UDP 16261 by default) is used to handle Steam queries. The additional port (UDP 16262 by default) is used to handle the direct connection. These ports can be configured through the server options.
Clients will first try to use a direct connection. If direct connection fails, clients will try to connect via Steam.
The non-Steam version works as usual.
UPnP rules were changed accordingly (UPnP is used in cases to prevent manual port-forwarding).
The client will show the warning message "WARNING: SERVER HAS PORT %1 CLOSED. PERFORMANCE MAY BE SEVERELY AFFECTED" if the client can't connect through direct connection.
  • ZNet libraries rebuilt for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
  • ZNet, Connection, and Kick logs are improved.
  • Improved Type5, and Type21-24 Anti-Cheat behavior to reduce false positives.
A note that if you do not run a public server (i.e. a server exclusively for you and your family & friends without the worry of griefing and cheating), you can entirely circumvent any sort of frustration with false positives by disabling all AntiCheat protections in the servers .ini file.
  • Split the large ConnectionDetails packet into several smaller packets with one of the ConnectionDetailsPacket.State enum values indicating which data is requested.
  • Improved algorithm for the transmission of large files while playing.
  • Loading screen now shows the download status of large files when connecting to a server.
  • Extended checksum logs for debugging CRC differences.
  • Increased kick delay for CRC differences.
  • Additional logs were added.
  • Fixed ObjectModData packets not being sent while the server was in the FastForward state.
  • Fixed bug in world dictionary when an item in a different module but with a similar name as an vanilla item was removed.
  • Fixed a new stubble Beard getting added to remote players after each appearance change, which resulted in receivePlayerZombieDescriptors errors.
  • Fixed kicks after disabling VOIP.
  • Fixed connecting to host after disconnection from a dedicated server.
  • Fixed infinite connection attempt to non-steam server when it's not up.
  • Fixed the client displaying "Disconnected" instead of "Wrong username or password".
  • Fixed players being able to change their saved password for an already created account in some instances.
  • Fixed Type21 black screen at connection stage when Type21 anti-cheat check is disabled.
  • Fixed the character model always using media/textures/Body/Masks instead a clothing item's UnderlayMasks folder.
  • Fixed black screen issues with certain mod constellations.
  • Fixed the timed-action progress bar position not being updated during actions without a fixed duration.
  • Fixed the animation speed of the timed-action progress bar at different framerates.

NEW

  • Added a looping progress bar for timed actions that have no defined end. This is mainly a stopgap "fix" for entering cars, to visualize that there is an ongoing unfinished action until we can have visually open doors, etc.
Specifically added for the scenarios where players reported being bitten through the car door after they had entered a car and interrupted the "enter car" action before it could finish (e.g. by opening the map, etc), i.e. before the door was "closed".
This bar extends to other "infinite" actions like Walk To.

MODELS

  • Added new body locations: Jacket_Bulky, JacketHat_Bulky, TorsoExtraVest, and JacketSuit.
  • Assigned new body locations to existing clothing items to avoid clipping.
  • Tweaked and added many clothing masks to avoid clipping through each other.
  • Adjusted several clothing models and bone weighting to improve clipping.
  • Removed Bowling shirt model from Bowling shirt definitions and made Bowling Shirt a texture. The model was left in the files in case mods use it.
  • Improved base Body mask to help with clipping.
  • Re-exported ALICE packs as some straps were missing.

  • Fixed ClientPlayerDB handling of WorldVersion.
  • Transfer known media lines from recorded_media.bin to the player on the first load.

The mod file is es.info.books.main.lua.

MODDER WARNING: This could break any mods that modify ISRadioInteractions.lua or are using the OnDeviceText event (which gained a new parameter).

MODDING

  • Fixed mod animations not being loaded if they aren't in a subdirectory of anims_X, or aren't in a subdirectory registered in animations_meshes.txt. Any such animations are added to the MaleBody model by default.

Item tagging changes

MODDERS: PLEASE READ ADDENDUM DOCUMENTATION FOR INFO

  • Added new tags to some items: BlowTorch, Fork, GasMask, Glue, HazmatSuit, Knife, Razor, Scissors, Sledgehammer, Spoon, StartFire, WeldingMask. These tags are used in multiple places instead of looking for specific item types.
  • Added methods ItemContainer.getBestConditionEvalArg() and ItemContainer.getBestConditionEvalArgRecurse().
  • Script properties item.staticModel and item.worldStaticModel are set to the fully-qualified "module.type" after loading scripts. This is to fix mod items not finding "model" scripts that aren't in the Base module.
  • Added a new item-script property ReplaceTypes which supersedes ReplaceOnUseOn (which is still supported).
The format is "ReplaceTypes=Key1 Type1;Key2 Type2;..." where each key is some string (such as WaterSource) and each type is an item type.
ReplaceTypes allows specifying different replacement item types for different uses of an item, for example, filling an empty item with water and/or with gasoline.
It is used for the same thing as ReplaceOnUseOn, but allows multiple key/type mappings instead of only one.
These new methods were added to both Item and InventoryItem classes:
String getReplaceType()
HashMap<String,String> getReplaceTypes()
String getReplaceType(String key)
boolean hasReplaceType(String key)
The existing ReplaceOnUseOn lines in items.txt add a new value to the item's ReplaceTypes HashMap.

SOUND CHANGES

  • Added global parameters Electricity, RoomType, and Water.
  • Added a new tile property named "AmbientSound" to support custom ambient sounds from objects. Current values assigned to some tiles are:
FactoryMachineAmbiance

NeonLightAmbiance
NeonSignAmbiance
JukeboxAmbiance
ControlStationAmbiance
ClockAmbiance
GasPumpAmbiance
LightBulbAmbiance
  • The FMOD global parameter "Electricity" is set to 0.0 when the new WorldEventElectricityShutdown event passes the "ElectricityOff" timeline marker.
  • Added FMOD parameter value RoomType=Factory.
  • Changed debugSetRoomType() to accept an integer instead of the name of an enum value.
  • Added sounds:
ArcadeMachineAmbiance
CanisterAddFuelFromGasPump
CanisterAddFuelSiphon
VehicleAddFuelFromCanister
VehicleAddFuelFromGasPump
VehicleHeadlightsOn
VehicleHeadlightsOff
VehicleWindowHandleOpen
VehicleWindowHandleClose
VehicleWindowElectricOpen
VehicleWindowElectricClose
  • Synchronize room lights and other objects losing power with the ElectricityOff timeline marker.
  • Added PlaceOneSound and PlaceMultipleSound item script properties.
These are played when placing items using the "Place Item" command.
The default sound played if these aren't defined is PutItemInBag (the same sound played when dropping items).
  • Added BoxOfRoundsOpenOne and BoxOfShellsOpenOne sounds to some recipes.
Increased the time of these recipes to allow the sound to play. The time is still quite short (was 5 ticks, now 15 ticks). Probably nobody will die waiting.
  • Added FountainBigAmbiance sound played to the multi-tile water fountain.
The sound doesn't seem to loop and stops after several seconds.
  • Added RepairWithWrench sound played when plumbing sinks and for the moveables Wrench tool sound.
  • Added value MetalGate to the FenceTypeLow and TripObstacleType parameters.

  • Play the WorldEventElectricityShutdown event from the nearest square in a building when outdoors.
  • Set the FMOD parameter "RoomType" using RoomType objects added in WorldEd.
  • Changed how ambient sounds are played from doors and windows.
Instead of choosing random objects, only the nearest exterior objects will play sound.
Different sounds are played depending on whether the door or window is open or closed.
This will be used for playing rain and wind sounds when the player is inside.
  • Fixed the BurningFlesh sound not stopping in multiplayer after a player dies.
  • Fixed the barbecue and fireplace extinguish sounds stopping instead of being triggered to fade out.
  • Play an animation when turning a propane barbecue on and off.
  • Fixed crouching when extinguishing a charcoal barbecue.
  • Fixed SFX and music cutting out in busy situations (often seen on MP servers)
  • Reimplemented ZombieVocalsManager to limit zombie voice events to the nearest 20 zombies.
  • Optimized sorting objects in DoorAndWindowEmitters and ZombieVocalsManager.
  • Changed handling of object ambient sounds so they only play from the nearest 20 objects. This includes doors, fridges, trees, windows and any sprite with the AmbientSound property set.
  • Removed DoorAndWindowEmitters. This is combined with ObjectAmbientEmitters.
  • Fixed ZombieVocalsManager not actually stopping vocal events when one of the 20 slots was reassigned to a different zombie.

CONTROLLER / STEAMDECK IMPROVEMENTS

  • ProjectZomboid64.exe will disable the -XX:+UseZGC option if a required function is undefined in Kernel32.dll.
Steam Proton does not define the MapViewOfFile3() function, which prevents the Windows version of the game starting on the Steam Deck.

  • When options.ini doesn't exist on startup, set the display to fullscreen desktop resolution.
  • When options.ini doesn't exist on startup on Steam Deck, call Core.setOptionActiveController() to enable the controller.
  • Allow precise positioning when placing items using a controller. This is done by holding the Y button and using either D-pad or the left joystick to move the item around the square. When there is more than one surface, it can be changed by pressing the right shoulder button while the Y button is held down.
  • Enabled the on-screen keyboard in CoopUserName.lua.
  • Leave room for two lines of tooltip text at the bottom of the character-creation profession ui.
  • Several panels in the main menu can be scrolled using the right joystick.
  • The Start/Menu button will display the main menu in single-player, or resume normal game speed.
This is instead of pressing once to pause the game and double-pressing to display the main menu.

  • When placing items, the inventory and loot windows are collapsed if they aren't pinned open.
  • When placing items, mouse clicks on world objects are ignored to prevent the loot window popping open.

getBoredomChangeUnmodified()

This is to fix some servers reporting ??? as their version number, which prevents people from joining.
  • The server will exit if there are syntax errors in the servername_SandboxVars.lua file.
  • The server's servername_SandboxVars.lua is saved after loading it to update it to the latest version with comments.
  • Added missing buttons to disable toggle in admin panel UI

ENGINE

  • Updated Windows and Linux FMOD to 2.02.05.

However: please note that values higher than 8190 result in NEGATIVE sprite IDs. Numbers higher than 16382 definitely aren't allowed due to using 32-bit integers to hold sprite IDs.

FORAGING

  • Updated max values for HoursForWorldItemRemoval and HoursForCorpseRemoval sandbox settings. *


[Multiplayer]

  • Optional Login Queue system for MP servers added.
- Players connecting to a full server will be placed in a login queue, connecting automatically once a slot freed up. The queue will advance after the client has finished loading the game.

- This is a function to set the haveConstruction flag on a zone to prevent loot respawn if ConstructionPreventsLootRespawn is enabled in the server sandbox settings.
- set haveConstruction on zone for building, movable, barricading events and when claiming a safehouse, so a home won't spawn loot after being claimed, even if a player hasn't built anything in them yet.

[Modding]

  • Added ISCarMechanicsOverlay.PartList[].vehicles tables to any parts that don't have them.
  • VehiclePart.setInventoryItem() no longer calls setModelVisible(true|false) for all models, because this interferes with some mods that choose different models based on which item is installed for a part. Instead, a new method VehiclePart.setAllModelsVisible(true|false) was added that is called from these Lua functions:
-Vehicles.Init.XXX
-Vehicles.InstallComplete.XXX
-Vehicles.UninstallComplete.XXX
-Mods that define "init", "install.complete" and/or "uninstall.complete" Lua functions can now choose to hide or show whichever models they want.
-Additionally, VehiclePart.repair() now calls the part's "init" Lua function (if it is defined) when creating a missing item.
-This allows the "init" function to hide or show models.
  • The game will look for mod texture-pack files named Pack2x.floor.pack (correct) and then Pack.floor2x.pack (incorrect) if the first file doesn't exist.
  • Added IsoGameCharacter.XP.setPerkBoost(Perk perk, int level). This is for mods that want to change an existing player's XP multiplier for a skill.
  • Added IsHidden parameter for recipes and evolved recipes
- If true, this hides the recipe on the crafting menu
- Hidden recipes are still able to be crafted via the right-click menu
- Evolved recipes are hidden unless a result item exists
- This allows adding additional ingredients via the crafting menu
  • Fixed ClothingItemExtra script property not working for items that aren't in the Base module.*

[Controller]

  • Pressing and holding the left analogue stick displays a radial menu that allows toggling crouching, sitting on the ground, and auto-walking. A quick press of the left joystick button toggles crouch, the same as before.
  • Pressing the controller A button when a text entry has the focus displays the on-screen keyboard.
- Left shoulder button changes focus between the text entry and keyboard.
- D-pad navigates in the text entry.
  • Foraging / Search mode improved to work with controllers.

[Fixes]

  • Fixed a Lua error when trying to spawn a new character in-game when the AllClothesUnlocked sandbox option or Character.CreateAllOutfits debug option is enabled.
  • Fixed the "Aim Outline" option default being "None" instead of "Ranged Weapons".
  • Fixed the volume controls not working in multiplayer.
  • Fixed Home VHS tapes switching from blank to not-blank after reloading sometimes.
  • Fixed some unique Home VHS tapes never being spawned. Now CDs and VHS tapes are randomized in ItemPickerJava.
  • Fixed translation files from required mods having priority over the mod that required it. If mod B requires mod A, then mod B's translation files will be loaded first so they override the same translation in mod A, if present.
  • Fixed sitting zombies facing random angles in multiplayer.
  • Fixed an IllegalArgumentException in IsoChunk.SafeRead() when reading an empty map_X_Y.bin file.

  • Fixed a few cases where sounds from invisible players could be heard in multiplayer.
  • Fixed bug in world dictionary when an item similarly named to a base item but with different module would be removed. This was due to scriptmanager.getModule defaulting to 'base' when the module was not found.
  • Fixed scriptmanager.getModule testing for equals("Base") or startsWith("Base.") instead of startsWith("Base"). This would otherwise result in the same error happening still if one would name their module for example "BaseBuilding".
  • Fixed item loading when trying to create an item with the same name in a different module. When a mod adds "MyMod.Apple" this a new item that exists alongside "Base.Apple", when MyMod is removed the "MyMod.Apple" bytes in the saves should be skipped. However due to ItemFactory.CreateItem calling the same scriptmanager functions that default to "Base" when no module found, it would try and instance "Base.Apple".

  • Changed the display name of "Canned Soup" to "Canned Vegetable Soup".
    • Note: To make Pots of Soup with Opened Cans of Soup you must now add them to a pot of water, as an evolved recipe soup. This fixes the Super Soup exploit and will allow players to also add additional ingredients to the Soup. The other way of making Pots of Soup was an obsolete and in many ways incompatible method from before the evolved recipe system.
  • Added missing SetMelee Delay on Pistol Whip animation.
  • Fixed Hoodie and Vest masks to work properly with base mesh.
  • Fixed JokeKnife, JokeArrow, BunnyEars, FurryEars, Antlers and GodStar Headbopper to work with all hairstyles.

Unstable Build 41.78.7

Date: November 9, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78

  • znet is rebuilt for MacOS 10.12.6
  • Fixed in-game map position of a shed in cell 35,32.

Unstable Build 41.78.6

Date: November 8, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78

  • Multiplayer clients will now retry the GettingServerInfo request 3 times.
  • Fixed Encoding of Radio and TV content for Chinese languages.
  • Fixed lightbulb lifespan sandbox value error.

Unstable Build 41.78.5

Date: November 7, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78

Unstable Build 41.78.4

Date: November 4, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78

  • Added a display option to enable the new outline around highlighted containers.
  • Changed ISCloseVehicleDoor to play the door closing sound when the action is completed instead of its start. This is to provide better feedback for players in cases where they have unwittingly cancelled this action.
  • Increased the spawnrate of Thread and added the chance of Sewing Kits to spawn in gloveboxes.
  • Adjusted duration of the stationary Pistol Whip animation, it's now the same length as the shove animation.
  • Added Checksum logging for MP servers, enabled by default for now.
  • NetChecksum logs are extended:
    • Client dumps logs into checksum.txt.
    • Client sends logs to server.
    • Server dumps logs into checksum.txt.
    • Server dumps client's logs into checksum-.txt.
  • When sorting the relative paths of scripts and Lua files to determine load order, the relative paths are first converted to lowercase. This is to fix platform differences breaking checksums in multiplayer. It also fixes the issue where the same file might be loaded more than once if mods use different capitalization for the same file or folder.
  • When the Sound.WorldSound.Render debug option is enabled, world sounds are rendered according to the Hearing sandbox option.
For Hearing=Random (where each zombie may have a different radius) sounds are rendered using the Hearing=Normal radius.
This does not mean that their hearing radius is not randomized, it only means that a world sound radius cannot be rendered on a per zombie basis in debug mode.
For Hearing=Pinpoint/Normal/Poor, meta-zombie hearing radius is rendered accordingly.
  • Commented out the GunLight and Bayonnet entries in the foraging definitions; they're currently non-functional and confuse players, and were commented out of the loot spawn tables.
  • Exposed the MediaData.MediaLineData class.
  • Fixed players being unable to fire guns from inside vehicles under some circumstances.
  • Fixed firearm damage being affected by the distance to the target.
  • Fixed the infinite timed-action progress bar being displayed for actions that set useProgressBar=false.
  • Fixed recently introduced bug that caused sounds to attract zombies from too far away.
  • Fixed WorldSoundManager.getSoundAttract() not using IsoZombie.hearing.
  • Fixed masking problems with Hoodie and Poncho being worn together.
  • Fixed transparency issue with trouser texture.
  • Fixed the rate of moodle and the heart (health panel) icon wiggling not handling ui offscreen rendering and uncapped framerate.

Unstable Build 41.78.3

Date: October 26, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78

  • Further reduced the chance of zombies to injure the groin.
  • Changed back container max capacity display to the adjusted value when Organized/Disorganized traits are used. The previous change ended up being more confusing than what it was aiming to fix.
  • Added logging of player injuries caused by zombies to the console when in debug mode.
  • FileDifferent, FileNotOnServer, and FileNotOnClient errors will now display the absolute paths of both files. This should make it clearer that a mod might just have been using the wrong capitalization for a folder.
  • Fixed incorrect pathing for masks on some clothing items which should fix clipping issues.
  • Fixed spamming the 'manual floor attack' and 'shove' keys while aiming resulting in firing empty firearms and shoving distant zombies.
  • Fixed not-crawler zombies sometimes injuring the feet or legs.
  • Fixed assorted errors in food items' EvolvedRecipe parameters.
  • Fixed error with randomized zombie senses.
  • Fixed the Disable Bleach Poisoning setting in multiplayer causing issues when adding food to Evolved Recipes.
  • Fixed sawing off a Double Barrel Shotgun not changing its weight.
  • Fixed not being able to host locally with a nonsteam server.
  • Fixed zombie hearing radius being too large.
  • Fixed being unable to rip Varsity Jackets.
  • Fixed ripping all clothing unintentionally ripping clothing worn by the player.

Unstable Build 41.78

Date: October 22, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.78 NEW

  • Added a prompt for the updated Terms of Service as we are a big boy game now and have to fit in with the other biggerer boys.
  • Added sandbox option to disable Fake Dead Reanimation. Disabled Fake deads in MP by default.
  • Added more control over fake dead behavior to the sandbox options; having zombies that were "killed" having a chance to become fake dead is an option that is off by default.
  • Added sandbox option that allows Corpse Maggot spawning to be disabled or limited to corpse inventory.
  • Added sandbox option that allows poisoning food to be disabled, or for poisoning food with bleach to be disabled.
  • Added sandbox option to disable the Tainted Water Tooltip/Warning for hardcore play
  • Added sandbox option for enabling/disabling XP multipliers affecting passive skills, which is false by default.

  • Renamed Item "Weight" to "Encumbrance" in the UI and context menu.
  • Added an Accessibility Option that makes the player character automatically walk to a click container within a short radius of 3 tiles.
  • Added the ability to set custom "Good" and "Bad" highlighting colours in the Accessibility Options menu. This is applied to things like traits, tooltips, and the aiming outline.
  • Added an option to bind "Walk To" to a key instead of having to go through the RMB menu.
  • Added highlighting to clicked Crates so it's easier to tell which crate is selected.
  • Added a Context Menu entry that enables/disables Auto-Drink.
  • Tiles that are being disassembled will now be highlighted in the "bad colour", red being the default.
  • Resolutions higher than 1440p will have their zoom levels adjusted to allow closer zoom-in, bringing it more in line with lower resolutions.
  • Disabled some Randomized Survivor Safehouses from occurring in instances where a building has over 10 rooms, or is a spawn location. The limit is 10 for some and 20 for other Randomized Survivor Safehouses.
    • This also means the Toilet Paper story is now disabled in buildings that have over 10 rooms or are spawn locations, which will likely reduce the amount of Reddit posts about it by 50%.
  • Added a check to prevent any of the randomized burnt building stories from occurring if the building is a spawn location.
  • Added "HasMetal" tag for items. This tag was added to food and water items in metal containers, which will now set microwaves on fire when microwaved.
  • Adjusted the mechanics UI so that both the Battery Charge and Condition are included in the Battery entry in the list of parts.
  • Modified the vehicle mechanics UI to prominently feature the % of a full tank of gas it has, in addition to the battery charge.
  • Added a few more existing clothing options to the character creation.
  • Added the ability to destroy only one wall when selecting corner walls.
  • Replaced the bucket world static model textures with metal icons and textures and not plastic ones, as buckets are now metal and not plastic.

  • Changed the Violet FoodType to NoExplicit.
  • Trash tiles (Movable items) and Plastic Bags can now be used as tinder and fuel for fires.
  • Changed the Sawed-off Shotgun recipes to only use the hacksaw, and not the garden saw; a wood saw would be unable to cut through the metal barrel of a shotgun.
  • Added the Meat Cleaver to the Slice Onions recipe. Removed it from the Jack-o'-lantern recipe.
  • Changed the Cigarettes script to prioritize using Matches before a Lighter if both are in the same inventory.

  • Changed translation strings to make bottle names more consistent.
  • Changed IGUI_HouseKey from "House Key" to "Key" to avoid issues with non-residential keys.
  • Removed the numeric information tooltip provided when selecting eat all/half/quarter food item context options.
  • Commented out the tool definitions in ClothingRecipesDefinitions as they currently are nonfunctional and serve no purpose aside from confusing modders.
  • Commented out the WoodenLance in the safehouse weapons distro lists; that item is redundant vs SpearCrafted, and also doesn't work with spear recipes. SpearCrafted already spawns with safehouse weapons.
  • Replaced AmmoStraps in the safehouse armor distro list with AmmoStraps_Bullets and AmmoStraps_Shells.
  • Changed the display name translation string for the wearable AmmoStraps items to Bandolier on account of consistent confusion with the weapon attachment that is also called Ammo Straps.
  • Changed the display name translation string for firearm magazines to use the firearm it is for, and not the caliber, as the prefix. Solves having two .308 Magazines, for both the MSR788 and the M14, and also that's how they're named in real life.
  • Added a tooltip to firearm magazines that displays the ammunition type that it accepts.
  • Added missing models for Candy Corn, Candied Fruit Slices, Hot Sauce, Fountain Cups, JuJubes, Nettles, Shrimp Dumplings, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, Packaged Corn, Pickled Ginger, Sugar Cookies, Fish Sushi, Radio Receivers,Radio Transmitters, Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, and Tent Kits.

MULTIPLAYER

  • Added server option "KnockedDownAllowed" to enable/disable the PVP knockdown.
    • This is a stopgap change to give servers an option to make PVP combat less frustrating before we can address PVP combat more directly in the future.

  • Added RCON command "checkModsNeedUpdate" to check for mods that need to be updated.

  • Fixed the multiplayer "whisper" command corrupting the Lua environment due to multithreading.
  • Fixed being unable to claim a safehouse unless standing on the ground floor.
  • Fixed not checking upper floors for other players or zombies when claiming a safehouse.

BALANCE

  • Modified the M16 & M14 critical values to be more consistent with other rifles.

      • Added CritDmgMultiplier 10
      • AimingPerkCritModifier 15
  • Disabled the cumulative slowdown until the next shot when firing the M16 in automatic mode. Firing the M16 in automatic mode will cumulatively reduce the chance of a critical with each additional shot. This is intended to represent the loss in accuracy due to recoil.
  • Set some traits to be mutually exclusive to remove exploits or illogical combinations.
  • Hot-Wiring a vehicle will have a low chance of causing a car alarm. The chance for this is decreased further for higher electronics skill levels.
  • Zombies pushing up against a previously unentered stationary vehicle have a chance to set off an alarm.
  • Removed the undesired RNG check that made vehicle alarms go off only 20% of the time.
  • Fixed car hoods being unable to trigger vehicle alarms.
  • Disabled being able to make melee attacks while inside a vehicle with the window rolled down.
  • Randomized the fall damage that zombies take. This randomized spread will average out to the previous damage before it was randomized; this will have a minor impact (hohoho) on the damage that zombies that fall suffer, but slightly more of them will be able to be killed by this than before.
  • Made it so groin injuries from not-crawler zombies are less common, and that crawlers can also inflict uncommon groin injuries.
  • Increased the yield of metal parts when scrapping wrecked vehicles by 33%.
  • Added a new procedural container, "CratePropane", to garages and shed.

  • Decreased Encumbrance of Walkie-Talkies.

    • The Encumbrance discrepancy has been remarked upon repeatedly, and this also serves in making item Encumbrance more consistent.
  • Adjusted the amount of fuel that spawns in fuel pumps at Low and Very Low.
  • Updated the nutritional value for Canned Evaporated Milk. Calories 472; Carbs, Lipids, and Proteins at 23.6
  • Changed the days until rotten for Bagels from 2 to 6.
  • Gave the Stir Fry and roast script items a default hunger value of 10. This was previously reported as a bug when players spawned the item in instead of making it via the evolved recipe.
  • Maggots are slightly more poisonous.
  • Fewer maggots spawn, especially in spring and fall (maggots don't spawn during winter).
  • Maggots are now a default item in the world item removal lists. Added a comment for the world item removal lists explaining that Base.Maggots should stay in the list due to corpse maggots.
  • Additional safeguard to prevent errors when using mods that remove maggots altogether.

DEBUG / MODDING

  • Added a search bar to the LootZed cheat panel.

  • Added a toggle option in the vehicle debug context menu that will show if a vehicle's alarm is enabled or disabled.
  • Changed Fast Move cheat in debug. Players can now levitate on different height levels via the PageUP/PageDown keys, and move around via the Arrow Keys on the different height levels.

    • Fixed electronic tiles (TV, radio, generators, etc).

Unstable Build 41.77

Date: September 27, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.77
MP

  • Improved client connection.
Important for server providers: Servers now have two ports for clients to connect to. The game port (UDP 16261 by default) is used to handle Steam queries. The additional port (UDP 16262 by default) is used to handle the direct connection. These ports can be configured through the server options.
Clients will first try to use a direct connection. If direct connection fails, clients will try to connect via Steam.
The non-Steam version works as usual.
UPnP rules were changed accordingly (UPnP is used in cases to prevent manual port-forwarding).
The client will show the warning message "WARNING: SERVER HAS PORT %1 CLOSED. PERFORMANCE MAY BE SEVERELY AFFECTED" if the client can't connect through direct connection.

    • Specifically added for the scenarios where players reported being bitten through the car door after they had entered a car and interrupted the "enter car" action before it could finish (e.g. by opening the map, etc) and before the door was "closed".
    • This bar extends to other "infinite" actions like Walk To.

Unstable Build 41.76

Date: September 8, 2022
Forum: Unstable Build 41.76
We skipped public testing for 41.75.

The TL;DR of the changes from 41.74 to 41.76 is that the Steam Networking API implementation was improved; Linux crashes should be fixed and overall networking performance has been improved alongside connection stability in internal tests. In essence the game will now also use direct communication with dedicated servers, instead of going entirely through Steam’s own networking API, improving performance and stability for dedicated servers.

MP

  • Improved Steam Networking API implementation.
  • Selected game data is no longer transmitted through the Steam P2P API but through UDP instead.
  • Adjusted Anti-Cheat Types 21-24 to result in fewer false positives.

A note that if you do not run a public server (i.e. a server exclusively for you and your family & friends without the worry of griefing and cheating), you can entirely circumvent any sort of frustration with false positives by disabling all AntiCheat protections in the servers .ini file.

  • Split the large ConnectionDetails packet into several smaller packets with one of the ConnectionDetailsPacket.State enum values indicating which data is requested.
  • Improved algorithm for the transmission of large files while playing.
  • Loading screen now shows the download status of large files when connecting to a server.
  • ZNet library was rebuilt on all platforms.
  • Fixed ObjectModData packets not being sent while the server was in the FastForward state.
  • Fixed bug in world dictionary when an item in a different module but with a similar name as an vanilla item was removed.
  • Fixed a new stubble Beard getting added to remote players after each appearance change, which resulted in receivePlayerZombieDescriptors errors.

  • Fixed items being deselected when clicking the scrollbar in the inventory and loot windows.

VHS Fix

  • Fixed listened-to media lines being saved globally instead of for each player. This could add over 200KB to each player's saved data if every line is listened to.
  • Fixed ClientPlayerDB handling of WorldVersion.
  • Transfer known media lines from recorded_media.bin to the player on the first load.
  • Check for null arguments to RecordedMedia.hasListenedToAll(). A mod seems to pass null for the IsoPlayer argument, which was ok when listened-to lines were stored globally instead of per-player.
The mod file is es.info.books.main.lua.

MODDER WARNING: This could break any mods that modify ISRadioInteractions.lua or are using the OnDeviceText event (which gained a new parameter).'

MODDING

  • Fixed mod animations not being loaded if they aren't in a subdirectory of anims_X, or aren't in a subdirectory registered in animations_meshes.txt. Any such animations are added to the MaleBody model by default.

Item tagging changes MODDERS: PLEASE READ ADDENDUM DOCUMENTATION FOR INFO

  • Added new tags to some items: BlowTorch, Fork, GasMask, Glue, HazmatSuit, Knife, Razor, Scissors, Sledgehammer, Spoon, StartFire, WeldingMask. These tags are used in multiple places instead of looking for specific item types.
  • Added methods ItemContainer.getBestConditionEvalArg() and ItemContainer.getBestConditionEvalArgRecurse().
  • Script properties item.staticModel and item.worldStaticModel are set to the fully-qualified "module.type" after loading scripts. This is to fix mod items not finding "model" scripts that aren't in the Base module.
  • Added a new item-script property ReplaceTypes which supersedes ReplaceOnUseOn (which is still supported).
The format is "ReplaceTypes=Key1 Type1;Key2 Type2;..." where each key is some string (such as WaterSource) and each type is an item type.
ReplaceTypes allows specifying different replacement item types for different uses of an item, for example, filling an empty item with water and/or with gasoline.
It is used for the same thing as ReplaceOnUseOn, but allows multiple key/type mappings instead of only one.
These new methods were added to both Item and InventoryItem classes:
String getReplaceType()
HashMap<String,String> getReplaceTypes()
String getReplaceType(String key)
boolean hasReplaceType(String key)
The existing ReplaceOnUseOn lines in items.txt add a new value to the item's ReplaceTypes HashMap.

    • VehicleWindowElectricClose
  • Synchronize room lights and other objects losing power with the ElectricityOff timeline marker.
  • Added PlaceOneSound and PlaceMultipleSound item script properties.
    • These are played when placing items using the "Place Item" command.
    • The default sound played if these aren't defined is PutItemInBag (the same sound played when dropping items).
  • Added BoxOfRoundsOpenOne and BoxOfShellsOpenOne sounds to some recipes.
    • Increased the time of these recipes to allow the sound to play. The time is still quite short (was 5 ticks, now 15 ticks). Probably nobody will die waiting.
  • Added FountainBigAmbiance sound played to the multi-tile water fountain.
    • The sound doesn't seem to loop and stops after several seconds.

  • Hitting trees with weapons and bare hands plays the weapon's HitSound instead of ChopTree.
  • A melee weapon's SwingSound is now played via animation events instead of at the start of SwipeStatePlayer.
    • This allows using different sounds for different attack animations.
    • Currently this is used to play a different sound for spear stab versus spear slash attacks.
  • Play the WorldEventElectricityShutdown event from the nearest square in a building when outdoors.
  • Set the FMOD parameter "RoomType" using RoomType objects added in WorldEd.
  • Changed how ambient sounds are played from doors and windows.
    • Instead of choosing random objects, only the nearest exterior objects will play sound.
    • Different sounds are played depending on whether the door or window is open or closed.
    • This will be used for playing rain and wind sounds when the player is inside.
  • Fixed the BurningFlesh sound not stopping in multiplayer after a player dies.
  • Fixed the barbecue and fireplace extinguish sounds stopping instead of being triggered to fade out.
  • Play an animation when turning a propane barbecue on and off.

MODDING

  • Added ISCarMechanicsOverlay.PartList[].vehicles tables to any parts that don't have them.
  • VehiclePart.setInventoryItem() no longer calls setModelVisible(true|false) for all models, because this interferes with some mods that choose different models based on which item is installed for a part. Instead, a new method VehiclePart.setAllModelsVisible(true|false) was added that is called from these Lua functions:
    • Vehicles.Init.XXX
    • Vehicles.InstallComplete.XXX
    • Vehicles.UninstallComplete.XXX
    • Mods that define "init", "install.complete" and/or "uninstall.complete" Lua functions can now choose to hide or show whichever models they want.
    • Additionally, VehiclePart.repair() now calls the part's "init" Lua function (if it is defined) when creating a missing item.
    • This allows the "init" function to hide or show models.
  • The game will look for mod texture-pack files named Pack2x.floor.pack (correct) and then Pack.floor2x.pack (incorrect) if the first file doesn't exist.
  • Added IsoGameCharacter.XP.setPerkBoost(Perk perk, int level). This is for mods that want to change an existing player's XP multiplier for a skill.
  • Added IsHidden parameter for recipes and evolved recipes
    • If true, this hides the recipe on the crafting menu
    • Hidden recipes are still able to be crafted via the right click menu
    • Evolved recipes are hidden unless a result item exists
      • This allows adding additional ingredients via the crafting menu

CONTROLLER

  • Pressing and holding the left analogue stick displays a radial menu that allows toggling crouching, sitting on the ground, and auto-walking. A quick press of the left joystick button toggles crouch, the same as before.
  • Pressing the controller A button when a text entry has the focus displays the on-screen keyboard.
    • Left shoulder button changes focus between the text entry and keyboard.
    • D-pad navigates in the text entry.
  • Foraging / Search mode improved to work with controllers.

FIXES

  • Fixed a Lua error when trying to spawn a new character in game when the AllClothesUnlocked sandbox option or Character.CreateAllOutfits debug option is enabled.
  • Fixed the "Aim Outline" option default being "None" instead of "Ranged Weapons".
  • Fixed the volume controls not working in multiplayer.
  • Fixed Home VHS tapes switching from blank to not-blank after reloading sometimes.
  • Fixed some unique Home VHS tapes never being spawned. Now CDs and VHS tapes are randomized in ItemPickerJava.
  • Fixed translation files from required mods having priority over the mod that required it. If mod B requires mod A, then mod B's translation files will be loaded first so they override the same translation in mod A, if present.
  • Fixed sitting zombies facing random angles in multiplayer.

  • Fixed a few cases where sounds from invisible players could be heard in multiplayer.
  • Fixed bug in world dictionary when an item similarly named to a base item but with different module would be removed. This was due to scriptmanager.getModule defaulting to 'base' when the module was not found.
  • Fixed scriptmanager.getModule testing for equals("Base") or startsWith("Base.") instead of startsWith("Base"). This would otherwise result in the same error happening still if one would name their module for example "BaseBuilding".
  • Fixed item loading when trying to create an item with the same name in a different module. When a mod adds "MyMod.Apple" this a new item that exists alongside "Base.Apple", when MyMod is removed the "MyMod.Apple" bytes in the saves should be skipped. However due to ItemFactory.CreateItem calling the same scriptmanager functions that default to "Base" when no module found, it would try and instance "Base.Apple".

  • Added "itemHeight" so players can place things on a microwave that is on a table for example.
  • If you have a counter with a shelve on top of it, you can press tab to change the height of the item.
  • Default "Iso Cursor Visibility" changed to 50% due to the regular cursor being hidden by default.
  • 3D items can be disabled in the options.
  • Table stories. Random chance to have some stuff on a basic home's table to tell a story.
  • Multi-stage building QoL: Now if you upgrade a wall frame, wall, etc, you'll have the item displayed until you press ESC (like normal building), allowing to build multiples without having to use the right click context menu every time.
  • Added a "Can't Sprint"-moodle which will appear when the character is unable to sprint. The moodle will shake for a bit when you can't sprint but try to.
  • Last Stand Compatibility changes:
    • Player files are saved in Zomboid\Lua\LastStand instead of Zomboid\Lua\Players to avoid conflicts with Build 40.
    • Player files have VERSION=1 at the top for compatibility with future versions of the game.
    • Existing Build 41 player files will need to be moved into Zomboid\Lua\LastStand and add VERSION=1 at the top to work.
  • The character-creation "Save" button dialog now fills in the name of the preset selected in the combobox, if one is selected.
  • Require the player to be near a vehicle before the context menu displays refueling options to fix gas E.S.P.
  • Changed the vehicle radial-menu icons for adding and removing gas (they were the same before).
  • Added BaseTimedAction:setCurrentTime(). This is used by ISReadABook to set the start time based on the number of pages already read.
  • Added blood and dirt stats to the Wash context-menu item tooltips.
  • Added "Stack Weight" to inventory-item tooltips to show the total weight of a stack.
  • Added a "Training Materials" button to the character Info panel. This displays a window with two tabs, one for skill books and another for magazines that teach recipes.
    • For skill books, the item name is displayed in white once the player has read the book completely, or has gained the skill levels through other means.
    • For magazines, the item name is displayed in white once the player knows all the recipes taught by the magazine.
  • Updated/added Radio translations for Japanese, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese

[Modding]

  • Added outfit zombie distribution (see example in Distributions.lua). Allows modders to add items to specific zombie outfits (e.g. bigger chance of finding ammo on police zombies, etc)
    • Quick example, add Outfit_ in front of the outfit name, like Outfit_Generic01 and define your loot table.
  • Added getters and setters to Recipe, Recipe.Result and Recipe.Source for mods.
  • Added a system for respawning zombies on island maps (e.g., Kingsmouth).
    • Normally when respawning zombies, a random location on the edge of the map is chosen as a start location.
    • The game then attempts to find a path from that start location to the chunk that zombies are respawning in.
    • This doesn't work for maps that have water on all edges, since paths cannot be found through water.
    • Map creators may now specify valid start locations by adding objects to the map's objects.lua file.
    • The objects.lua file is normally created by WorldEd.
    • These objects are rectangular areas along edges of the island indicating respawn start locations.
    • These objects should be right on the edge of the land next to the water (but not in the water).
    • Alternatively, these objects may be put into a file called spawnOrigins.lua in the map's directory.
    • This file has the same format as objects.lua. See Kingsmouth/spawnOrigins.lua for an example.
  • Added ISLiteratureUI.SetItemHidden(fullType, hidden) function so mods can prevent items being displayed in the Training Materials ui.

[Balance]

  • Allow plumbing a non-moved sink before the water shuts off if there is a rain barrel above. The water is still infinite for plumbed sinks before the water shuts off.
  • Allow plumbing a sink to an empty rain barrel.
  • Allow metal drums to be picked up with the furniture-moving tool.
  • Allow pouring water into metal drums.
  • Boosted loot spawns in stash.
  • Display what perk just levelup up on top of the char (like exp gain from TV).
  • Sheet ropes can now be attached to metal railings on balconies. (Currently doesn't work for fences on the south or east of a floor)
  • Car wrecks appear less often, but can now be dismantled.
  • Increased odds of curtains being already closed in houses.
  • Holes will be added to clothing after the check for protection, meaning 100% protection will always defend you from a bite and lowered protection from a hole will only affect future attacks.
    • Thanks to PseudonymousEd for pointing this out.
  • Shooting out of cars now has a more limited angle than the former 360°.
  • Player will now be unable to control the car while reloading.
  • Reload time increased while driving.
  • Control of the car is also lost when shooting rifles, but not with pistols.
  • Updated distributions.
    • Added a weightChance property, so you can try to make X spawn more than Y. Defines all the weight chance in said list (total can be over or under 100, doesn't matter).
    • Added a forceForTiles property, this'll check that a specific tile exist on this container's square to spawn items from this distribution list (ex: force something in counter under a sink).
    • Added a forceForRooms property, we'll check that a room specified in this list exists in the building of the container.
      • Example: Police station has an "office" room with a desk, but we don't have ways to spawn more police themed items in their desk.
      • Simply define a new distrib PoliceOfficeDesk, and add a forceForRooms="policestorage" so if we detect a policestorage room in this building, we'll use PoliceOfficeDesk instead of a regular desk)
  • Changes to knives:
    • If you're too close to a zombie but there's another zombie chasing you (thus not be able to do a jawstab) the character will shove instead of stabbing normally.
    • Slightly reduced movement speed while attacking with knives, similar to other weapons.
    • Reduced Hunting knife damage a tad.
  • Balanced some clothings Speed Reduction and Protection to be more consistent.
  • Small chance of having some house windows being left open.
  • Curtains can now spawn closed.

[Technical]

  • Added a bunch of performance probes to IsoCell.renderTiles to help track down the inner-most causes of the performance lagging issue.
  • New class: PerformanceProfileProbeList
    • Allows us to have arrays of performance probes, suitable for profiling arrays of code blocks, like with IsoCell.renderTile layers.
  • Added a few WorldDictionary.DebugPrintItem calls to some functions to help find some mod problems
  • Moved updating some global FMOD parameters out of IsoPlayer into AmbientStreamManager.

IWBUMS Build 41.53

Date: July 29, 2021
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.53

[New]

  • "Remove Curtains" works the way it used to, giving the player a Sheet.
  • Added a tooltip to tell the player they'll get a sheet, and that they can pick up the curtains using the furniture tool.
    • (We may adjust sheet loot again in future by letting you take them off beds, or having more to loot in bedrooms etc)
  • Don't display the option to plumb a sink if there isn't a water source overhead.
  • Allow plumbing a sink if the water source is directly overhead (as opposed to requiring a square adjacent to the square overhead).
  • Reverted the change that checked for tainted water in rain collectors connected to plumbed sinks. We intend to improve on this system at a later date.
  • Added "Lock Cursor To Window" display option. This keeps the mouse pointer inside the window. Alt-Tab must be used to switch applications.
    • When enabled, the game renders its own cursor and the system cursor is hidden.
  • Combined "Fullscreen" and "Borderless Window" options into a combobox with these three options:
    • Fullscreen
    • Borderless Windowed
    • Windowed
    • "Borderless Windowed" ignores the resolution set in the options. The window is resized to whatever the desktop resolution is set to.
  • Hide the mouse cursor when the "iso aiming cursor" is visible.
  • Added Display option "Show Mouse Cursor While Aiming".
  • Force the mouse cursor to be visible whenever it is over any UIElement.
  • Force the mouse cursor to be visible whenever the mouse-using player's context menu or radial menu is visible.

[Balance]

  • Increased the threshold at which you can't sprint because of clothing.
  • Reduced some RunSpeedModifier on some clothings.

[Technical]

  • Made triggerEvent() calls exit sooner when no functions are bound to the event being triggered.
  • Fixed Linux ProjectZomboid64 failing to find the ProjectZomboid64.json file.
  • Rebuilt Linux ProjectZomboid64 using up-to-date Steamworks API.
  • Updated Windows Steamworks SDK to 1.51.
  • Rebuilt Linux ZNet and RakNet libraries using Steamworks 1.51.

  • Added Linux docker.sh scripts.
  • Fixed missing languages on MacOS.
  • Added ISComboBox.setEditable() to allow filtering the choices in a combobox by typing.
    • This is used in the vehicle editor and attachment editor to make them a bit easier to use.
  • ISTextEntryBox.onPressDown() .onPressUp() and .onOtherKey() are passed the ISTextEntryBox object as the first argument. Previously, .onPressDown() and .onPressUp() weren't passed any arguments, and .onOtherKey() was passed only the key that was pressed. The change to .onOtherKey() is the only incompatible change.
  • Added ISTextEntryBox.selectAll().
  • Hopefully fixed fullscreen on MacOS

[Bug fix]

  • Fixed being unable to turn off the alarm in the alarm clock from the UI
  • Fixed VehicleEngineRPM.reset() NullPointerException.
  • Fixed incorrect choosing of random mannequin outfits.

  • Fixed zed story issue by checking that all chunks covered by a zone story are loaded instead of only checking the north-west and south-east squares.
  • Fixed null pointer with adding tent via stories.
  • Fixed minor issue in the Display class. It has no effect unless the game window resolution is higher than desktop resolution.
  • Fixed sprint issue in tutorial

[Debug]

  • Added context menu option "[DEBUG] UIs > Spawn Points" for teleporting the player to various spawn points to check their positions.
  • Added a context-menu to the "[DEBUG] UIs > Spawn Points" editor. This can be used to reposition and remove existing points. To save the changes, use the "Copy All To Clipboard" menu option and paste in the appropriate spawnpoints.lua file.
  • 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 suppοrt 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

[Technical]

  • Optimized game variable look-ups.
    • AnimCondition no longer repeatedly searches for the same variable by name.
    • Instead, it creates an AnimationVariableHandle and re-uses it.
  • GameProfiler.invokeAndMeasure now check whether or not the recorder is running, and avoid capturing a new Lambda
  • Performance improvement. Added an early-out to updateTwistBone
    • If the current twist is <1 degree, the function aborts.
  • Savegame compression optimization from Turbo
  • Refactored and tidied up WorldDictionary.
  • Server now sends the WorldDictionary data to clients when connecting.
  • Client now only saves WorldDictionaryReadable.lua in game folder.
  • WorldDictionary now respects Core.noSave.
  • World loading should now abort correctly if any problems are found with the dictionary.
  • Added method getModID(), getModName() and isVanilla() to InventoryItem.
  • Added the mod name which added the item, and optionally any overrides, to item tooltip.
  • Performance improvements to BoneTransform calculations for a 2x boost to animation system.
  • Fog optimization
  • Memory optimization: placed IsoGridSquare.collideMatrix, IsoGridSquare.pathMatrix and IsoGridSquare.visionMatrix arrays to 32 bit integer and wrote bit access functions for those.
  • Refactored IsoRegion system including optimized region calculations and fixes for a bunch of things that could cause bugs.
  • Added new IsoRegion debugger based of ZombiePopulationWindow (can build via debugger now for quick testing).
  • Added IsoRegionLogger, logs can be viewed via debugger.
  • WorldDictionary -> disabled logging of missing object ID.
  • Colors.java -> added GetColorFromIndex, GetColorsCount.
  • Added Character.Debug.Render.Vision option to display the player's vision cone and see-nearby-characters radius.
  • 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

IWBUMS Build 41.48

Charging with a Spear.

Date: December 10, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.48

[Experimental/new]

  • Added a new keybinding: Manual Floor Attack:
    • Default to LEFT ALT.
    • When you attack (hold RMB to aim, press LMB to attack) if you hold LEFT ALT too then you'll force a ground attack - even if there are standing/walking/attacking zombies close by.
  • This also comes with an option called Manual Floor Attack - which entirely disables auto detection of prone attacks meaning that use of LEFT ALT is vital:
    • If set to false, your player will NEVER do a prone/ground attack on a zombie unprompted, you'll have to manually either press LEFT ALT & attack to them with your melee weapon on the ground, or SPACE to stomp while standing over him.

[New]

  • Added rain / snow visibility options: Always, Outdoors only, Never.
  • Added a new SECRET zed story
  • Added ZoneStoryChance sandbox option.
  • Added a new anim to drink from wine/whiskey.
  • Added new drink bleach anim.
  • Polished and improved Spear Charging at zeds
  • Added a way to choose player 1 if there are multiple players in a save file. This can be done in the Load Game screen by clicking on the "MORE..." button. A new player may also be created in an existing savefile this way.
  • Added NewMusic_KeepMoving to sounds_music.txt.

[Balance]

  • The "Wash Yourself" tooltip displays the amount of soap and water used.
  • Fixed "Wash Yourself" happening faster when insufficient soap was available.
  • Strawberries fertilizer resets to zero after harvest
  • Can no longer get benefits from smoking cigarette partially and cancelling
  • Spears now break after fewer kills (around 2-5 vs 15-20 before) at level 0.
  • Can now make tent kit using wooden stake.
  • Washing machines and Dryers now operate for a little while even when clothes are already dry or clean, as real world appliances would.
  • Removed the need to uninstall Trunk lid / Hood before they can be repaired
  • Now only spears can attack through wired fence/chain link etc.
  • Spears have bit more chance to break when impaling.

[Anims/models]

  • Adjusted wine bottle to not clip through player head during drinking anim.
  • Adjusted WhiskeyBottle.X to work with new drink anim so it doesn't clip face.
  • Rescaled molotov to fit new bottle size.
  • Re-exported WhiskeyBottle.png and Molotov.png to 64x64.
  • Re-adjusted glasses clothing item to be proper reflective glasses, icon currently placeholder.
  • Adjusted ski goggle clothing item to again be either reflective or dark version.
  • Made the spear attacks use an upperbody mask so to reduce pausing during attack.
  • Swapped out attacking on floor with spear for a new anim, Bob_AttackFloorSpear.X.

[Modding]

  • Added loading mod files from the media/AnimSets directory.
  • Added optional versionMin= and versionMax= lines to mod.info so mods can specify which versions of the game the mod is compatible with.
    • Build 40 will not be patched with this for now.
      • If the mod only works with version 41 or newer, add this line to mod.info:
versionMin=41.0
  • If the mod only works up to a certain version of build 41, you would use:
versionMax=41.999
  • Obviously replacing the ".999" with the build number.
  • Added DefaultClothing.lua to specify default clothing items for outfits that have default pants or top.
    • Previously, these were hard-coded in Java.
  • Only save RADIO_SAVE.txt if the contents have changed.
    • This is saved every 10 game-world minutes.
    • This is done on the main thread; we should avoid doing disk I/O from here.
  • Added OnCanPeform:XXX property to recipes specifying the name of a Lua function that will be called to perform additional checks on being able to perform a recipe.
    • This is a more general solution than the NearItem property (that was used for blacksmith recipes).
    • The function takes two arguments and should return a true or false.
function CanPerformMyRecipe(recipe, playerObj)
    return playerObj:isOutside() and RainManager:isRaining()
end
  • Added Tooltip:XXX property to recipes to display additional text in recipe tooltips and in the crafting ui.
    • This can be used to let the user know about additional requirements when there is an OnCanPeform function.
    • The value should be a translation name. The translation text may have multiple lines separated by "<br>".
recipe MyRecipe
    {
    ...
    OnCanPerform:CanPerformMyRecipe,
    Tooltip:Tooltip_Recipe_MyRecipe,
    }
Tooltip_Recipe_MyRecipe = "Must be outside.
Must be raining.",
  • Added possible forced hair/beard color for outfit in HairOutfitDefinitions.lua (bandit/punk will have a chance to have more "crazy hair color").
  • Added blood clothing type to every possible body location, so you can easily mod a new clothing to protect X or Y parts:
  • Example, i want to do metal socks that protect both feet and lower legs, i'll simply add a BloodLocation = Feet;LowerLegs, in the item script.
  • Full list of per-bodypart location: Bag (back), Hands, Head, Neck, UpperBody, LowerBody, LowerLegs, UpperLegs, LowerArms, UpperArms, Groin.
  • Each location will cover both left and right parts if needed.
  • Thanks modder Flash for the idea!
  • Catch the "Comparison method violates its general contract!" exception in IsoObjectPicker to avoid breaking the game.
    • This exception can happen when compare(a,b) is inconsistent with compare(b,a).
    • This doesn't fix the cause, it only stops endlessly throwing exceptions.
  • Made IsoObjectPicker.ContextPick() a bit more efficient by calculating the score of each ClickObject once before sorting, instead of when comparing each pair of items being sorted.

[Bug fix]

  • Fixed police corpses sometimes having two holsters.
  • Fixed the "Press A to activate controller" prompt in the main menu. It was only displayed when an XBOX 360 controller was connected, was positioned oddly and wasn't translated.
  • Fixed duplicate items being created when climbing over tall fences.
  • Fixed RMC ripping a worn out item ripping up another item instead.

IWBUMS Build 41.46

Trailer being towed.
(click image to enlarge)

Date: November 19, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.46

[New]

  • Persistent Zed outfits
    • Zombie appearance is now mostly preserved when reloading.
    • Added Zombie.Outfit.Random debug option to disable persistent outfits and choose random ones when zombies are loaded.
    • Added AttachedWeaponDefinitions class to avoid parsing the Lua table every time a zombie spawns.
    • Rewrote ZombiesZoneDefinition to avoid parsing the Lua table each time a zombie spawns.
    • Fixed the police barricade vehicle stories not checking for a wide-enough zone properly, preventing them from spawning.
    • DebugChunkState displays all the zones at a location.
    • Moved client/Definitions to shared/Definitions. server/recipecode.lua uses ClothingRecipesDefinitions.
  • Added trailers
  1. If in debug use addVehicle("Base.Trailer") to spawn a trailer.
  2. Park a vehicle with it's rear end near the front of the trailer.
  3. Looking at either the vehicle or the trailer, use the vehicle radial menu and choose "Attach Trailer" (the plus-sign icon).
  • Vehicles should have an attachment named "trailer" that is aligned with the same attachment on the trailer itself.
  • Vehicles without this attachment will connect somewhere on the rear of the vehicle.
  • Editing attachments on vehicles is a new thing in the vehicle editor.
  • Added assitances for multiple collision shapes on vehicles. This is to allow the trailer hitch extending forwards of the trailer's body. Shapes must be added in the vehicle's script. They can be edited in the vehicle editor under the new "Physics" section.
  • A maximum of 10 shapes is allowed, minus one for physicsChassisShape.
  • Updated the vehicle blood and damage textures. Damage and rust textures are applied to the trailer. The blood texture doesn't currently appear, however.
  • Simulate a rope when towing cars: breaking too much at full speed and your towing car will bump into you.
  • Added uncovered trailer Base.Trailer. Base.TrailerCover is the covered version.
  • The uncovered trailer FBX is missing the second UV channel.
  • Trailer brake lights will come on when the vehicle towing it's brake lights are on.
  • Added 4-wheeled advertisement trailer.
  • Added 'world' attachments to some weapon models so they are positioned better when on the ground.
  • Added new advertising trailers. The "Set Script" vehicle debug-menu command picks a random skin.
  • Added trailer car crash story.
  • New Zed stories
    • Sometimes in forests, at the beach or next to lakes, you'll find people who were zombified doing different activities.
    • Beach party, fisherman trips, forest campement...
    • BBQ party
    • Sexy time (!)
    • Hunter camp
    • Trapper camp
    • More!
  • General
    • Added beer can & beer bottle item.
    • Recipe tooltips now display available items in white text above unavailable items in gray text.
    • Stop emote animations when the "Cancel Action" key or the controller B button is pressed.
    • Added more gun attachments models, fixed missing ones.
    • Added ammo straps as clothing item. Can be worn, exist with shells or bullets, can increase reload speed (shells for shotgun/bullets for the rest).
    • Added possible bullet vest on police outfit.
    • Added several new hair cuts
    • Added new beard styles.
  • Added a HairOutfitDefinitions.lua definition file:
    • Allow to spawn some haircut only on specific outfit.
    • Force some haircut on some outfit (ZombiesZoneDefinition.lua take precedence over it)
    • Added some outfits for Zed Stories.
    • Implemented new hats/eye patch (icons, functionality etc).
    • Added the JOIN_IDENTICAL_VERTICES option when loading models. This can greatly reduce the number of vertices in a model.
    • Updated translations.

[Balance]

  • Damage to car parts from melee weapons now made more accurate to type of weapon
  • Changed damage from hitting zombies with car: speed exponentially increases damage. Also made attempts to stop sprinters hammering on the rear of car and destroying it too fast.
  • Whiskey bottle with water weight now more in keeping with whiskey bottle weight
  • Decreased the gain in drunkeness from drinking beer bottles/cans vs. spirits
  • Made alcohol->drunkeness slightly more potent when character has an empty stomach
  • Disassembling Lamps now gives a Lightbulb
  • Log Stacks recipes to always use 2 Ropes, instead of 1 Rope per Log
  • Beverage can now be prepared with only sugar
  • Sugar and coffee now drainable items (due to be reverted in next patch due to internal rethink)
  • Hood/bonnet now repairable with metal sheets + screws or torch
  • Uncooked pasta or rice in a pot/pan of water will now eventually rot
  • Balanced trunk and glove box capacity on vehicles and trailers
  • Increased watch spawn rate on zombies.

[Anims]

  • Added Zombie_WindowLungeHitReact.X.
  • adjusted bob_sitground anim to finish on correct pose
  • tweaked sitting anims to blend a little better

[Modding]

  • Added assistances for custom decals, clothing and outfits in mods.
    • Each mod may have it's own copy of these files:
media/fileGuidTable.xml
media/clothing/clothing.xml
media/clothing/clothingDecals.xml
  • The above mod files no longer override the game's files with the same name.
  • Mod decal groups and outfits with the same name as one the game defines will override the game's.
  • Added assistances for custom beard styles and hair styles in mods.
  • Added a new script item property named AcceptItemFunction which specifies the name of a Lua function to test whether an item is allowed in a container.
    • This is in addition to the existing OnlyAcceptCategory property which tests InventoryItem:getCategory().
      • For example, to allow only medical items in a First Aid Kit, add a line to clothing_bags.txt:
item FirstAidKit
    {
        ...
        AcceptItemFunction = AcceptItemFunction.FirstAidKit,
    }
  • And add this function in a Lua file:
function AcceptItemFunction.FirstAidKit(container, item)
    return item:getStringItemType() == "Medical"
end
  • Changed Color.HSBtoRGB() to return a Color instead of Integer[3]. If you want the integer values, use Color.getRedByte(), Color.getGreenByte() and Color.getBlueByte().
  • Challenges may define a function named getSpawnRegion() to allow multiple spawn points and spawn regions. Previously only a single fixed spawn point was allowed.
    • See the commented-out Kingsmouth.getSpawnRegion() function for an example.
  • A challenge's AddPlayer() function is now called when creating new players in existing games.
    • This is used by the CDDA challenge to start new players naked and injured, for example.
  • The "OnEat" item-script Lua function is now called with a third parameter named 'percent' to indicate what percentage of the remaining amount of the item was consumed. Also, the function is called before the food is consumed.
    • See OnEat_Cigarettes() for an example of how it is used.
  • Fixed unrecoverable TextureCombiner errors when a texture couldn't be loaded.
    • Missing textures are displayed as a red and white checkerboard texture.
  • Display the filename of an asset that fails to load in the exception message.
  • Fixed multithreading issue with OutfitRNG. ImageData constructors throw exceptions instead of catching them now.
  • Fixed not properly reloading modified textures that previously failed to load.
    • This doesn't handle texture files that were previously missing, only ones that failed to load.
  • Added a two-second delay before DebugFileWatcher handles changes to modified files.
    • This is to address two things:
  1. The file may still be being written by another application that is saving it.
  2. Sometimes there are multiple events for the same file, such as a "create" event followed by one or more "modified" events.
  • ISSliderPanel now checks for shift-clicking instead of whatever key "Run" is bound to.
  • Changed puddles rendering to use vertex buffer objects, reducing the number of calls needed to render them.

[Cutaway fixes]

  • Fixed stretched window cutaways
  • Fixed vents not cutting away / turning transparent like other objects
  • Fixed Short walls in Prison not cutting away in a nice way
  • Fixed Double door cutaways - were previously offset on a building
  • Fixed stairs not cutting away properly

[Bug fix]

  • Fixed not being able to choose a texture in the character-creation ui for clothing items that don't have models. For example, Denim Shirt and Leather Gloves.
  • Fixed "Override:true" not working in mod recipes, resulting in duplicate recipes.
  • Fixed the skybox texture not updating after fast-forwarding (F5 or F6 or sleeping).
  • Fixed SkyBox.update() allocating Color and Vector3f each time.
  • Fixed the Skybox.Show debug texture size changing when zooming.
  • Fixed less than one unit of Twine being returned when destroying a Stick Trap.
  • Fixed server-side STrapGlobalObject calling client-side CTrapSystem:sendCommand().
  • Fixed items that weigh less than 0.005 being displayed as 0.0 weight. Now items weighing less than 0.01 are displayed as 0.01. For example, Screws.
  • Fixed double metalwork doors giving planks and nails when destroyed.
  • Fixed loading the SQL library from the user's Temp directory on 64-bit Windows.
  • Fixed missing animation for unloading bullets from rifles without magazines.
  • Fixed being unable to remove the key from the ignition when clicking on the key icon in the dashboard when the "Leave Key In Ignition" option is on.
  • Fixed controller not being able to open Fitness UI (The controller Y button opens it from the health UI)
  • Fixed sunstar motel arch cutaway.
  • Fixed the police barricade vehicle stories not checking for a wide-enough zone properly, preventing them from spawning.
  • Fixed closing the health panel closing after opening fitness panel.
  • Fixed a multi-monitor issue on Linux. Sometimes resolutions for the non-primary monitor were detected.
  • Fixed errors cleaning bandages using a sink/etc.
  • Fixed not walking to the water-containing object when cleaning bandages from a sink/etc.
  • Fixed student zeds could spawn with 2 bags.
  • Fixed muzzle flashes emitting no light during the day, even in dark rooms.
  • Fixed the shovel not appearing in the player's hands when filling a grave, if the shovel wasn't already equipped.
  • Fixed animation when burning a corpse with gas.
  • Fixed exception in InventoryItem.synchWithVisual() when an item's IconsForTexture list is smaller than the number of clothing textures for that item.
  • Fixed formatting bug in clothing_pants.txt related to Shorts_ShortDenim.
  • Fixed the "Remove Broken Glass" context-menu option not being shown as disabled when the player is holding an item in the left hand.
  • Fixed the health panel being shown when displaying the fitness ui, when using a controller.
  • Fixed errors pressing keys during the "This is how you died" loading stage.
  • Fixed FileNotFoundException when loading mods without clothing.xml.
  • Fixed an exception turning an equipped radio on or off when a generator is nearby.
  • Fixed surprise zombies in spawn locations, even though this was frequently hilarious. Zombies are now removed from the inside and around the building the player spawns in, when creating a new player in an existing game.
    • This does not include reanimated player zombies. Also, house alarms are disabled.
  • Fixed player not spawning in the correct location when creating a new player in an existing challenge
  • Fixed getting max benefit (or harm) from smoking part of a cigarette.
  • Fixed not being able to interrupt closing windows or smashing windows.
  • Fixed the player turning when following a very short path. Now the player will strafe to the new position without turning. For example, when smashing a vehicle window, the player would turn around, walk to the required position, then turn to face the vehicle again before smashing the window.
  • Fixed vehicles dropping to the ground when loading or spawning them.
  • Fixed PhysicsDebugRenderer not being thread-safe.
  • Fixed zeds taking too long to stomp to death in certain conditions

  • Fixed a bug where fixed capacity defined in vehicles wasn't used.
  • Fixed Default Sprint key on MacOS being LMETA instead of LMENU.
  • Fixed hedges not slowing players and zombies. (Players in ghost mode or noclip are not slowed by hedges or trees.)
  • Fixed clothing condition and wetness resetting when switching from hood-up to hood-down, etc.
  • Fixed the controller A button entering vans instead of opening the rear door to access the trunk.
  • Fixed the wrong strafe angle being used when walking short paths.
  • Fixed max capacity for vehicles not being saved.

  • changed fog generation, now variable duration based on day mean temperature.
  • added chance of gray tinted fog effect to storms.

IWBUMS Build 41.44

New animations for the fitness system.
(click image to view animation)

Date: October 8, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.44

[New]

  • Re-use container buttons in the inventory and loot windows instead of creating new ones each time the windows are updated.
  • Use radio buttons instead of checkboxes for available bags in the forage ui.
  • Bloodied and dirtied backpacks can now be washed.
  • Removed the "Age" stat from the character info panel
  • Add Yes/No prompt after pressing quit to desktop
  • Arrange option-screen controls better when the resolution changes.
  • Re-enabled the FPS counter - displayed with K by default. Should work okay now.
  • DPad-down displays the emote radial menu. When a sub-menu is displayed, highlight an emote and press DPad-down again to select it.
  • Allow collapsed inventory and loot windows to expand when the mouse moves over them when the player is aiming if the game is paused.
  • Added new hairstyles - center parting, side partings etc
  • Added jar 3D models - mayo etc. (Either eat them with a spoon or directly drink them! wow.)
  • Added petrol can 3D models (also petrol can can now be held in hands)
  • Forbid switching between front and back seats in the police car, since there's a divider between them.
  • Visually indicate seats that can't be reached from the current seat in the switch-seat ui.
  • Added animations for equipping and un-equipping items and clothing.
  • Added new sitting animation used when performing timed actions.
  • Allow fishing rods, spears and lures to be taken from bags when used.
  • Allow stopping ringing clocks and watches in inventory while moving.
  • Updated translations.

[Combat Fixes]

  • To address issues of the player attacking a downed zombie rather than an incoming threat, there is now a fixed value of 1.5 for ignoring prone zombies. When there is a zombie standing within 1.5 squares in front of the player, ground attacks won't happen. This value is the same regardless of which weapon (including bare hands) is used.
  • Zombies standing behind the player will not prevent ground attacks.
  • As always, prone zombies will be ignored if there is a standing zombie within weapon range, which might be greater than 1.5.
  • Given a choice between two zombies on the ground:
  1. Give higher priority to a zombie that is getting up.
  2. Give higher priority to a crawling zombie (but lower priority than one that is getting up).
  • Fixed a bug where a prone zombie might be chosen over one getting up. This was due to zombies switching from prone to standing half-way through the getting-up animation.
  • Fixed infinite ammo exploit with RackAfterShoot firearms.
  • Improved the appearance of the aim outlines around zombies and improved colors.
  • Changed the "Aim Outline" option to have three choices: "None", "Ranged Weapons" and "Any Weapon".
    • "Any Weapon" should reduce frustration for some people with not knowing which zombie might be hit.

[Fitness]
(Will require balance still, and will be put into the health panel next to temperature etc. in next patch)

  • Right click anywhere to bring up the fitness UI.
  • Select an exercise (some require items, like dumbbell), select how much time and click ok.
  • Exercise Fatigue will be induced approx 12h after the end of exercise.
  • Tooltips explain what stiffness does what (doing push ups will bring pain in your arms/chest, making combat slower, etc..)
  • The more you exercise, the more you'll gain "regularity", meaning the less stiffness you'll get from this exercise (each exercise has its own regularity).
  • System takes into account the impact of tiredness on the result of the exercise, nutrition, etc.
  • Includes "struggling" version of exercises for lower fitness level characters.

  • Equipped weight on flashlights now shown.
  • Rename Roasted Vegetables to a Roast

  • Draw a rectangle under the post-death text so it is easier to see on light backgrounds.
  • Fixed layout of some things at different font sizes.

[Optimization]

  • Optimized PropertyContainer's handling of IsoFlagType. This is an optimization to a foundational element of PZ's code, which should give a small boost to many, many elements of the game since property containers / isoflagtype stuff is used throughout - especially map rendering, game logic etc. We have already seen gains in built-up areas like West Point.
  • Declared a lot of classes and fields 'final'.

IWBUMS Build 41.43

Date: September 10, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.43

[New]

  • Updated with new controller icons on gameplay screen when playing with pad
  • The inventory and loot windows are collapsed right away when the player begins aiming, unless they are pinned.
  • Interrupt zombies climbing through windows if the player is closing the window. This applies if a zombie is starting to climb through a window, and isn't over the window sill.
  • Block the player closing a window if a zombie is climbing through it. The player plays the 'struggle' animation if a zombie is over the window sill.
  • Added "Automatically Drink Water When Thirsty" accessibility option. It is on by default. Right-clicking on a water bottle when thirsty displays a new option "Quench Thirst". This option isn't displayed for food (such as pop cans), only water containers. Each unit of water removes 10% of thirst, as always. So some thirst below 10% may remain after drinking.
  • Added "Leave Key In Ignition" accessibility option. When enabled, the key remains in a vehicle's ignition when the engine is shut off.

[Performance]

  • Improved pooled objects, which should in turn improve performance in areas of high zombie density. (On Six Months Later settings, for example, game was taking above 6ms to release an AnimationPlayer when removing one zombie from the world. This time has now been lowered to about 0.01ms - 0.03ms).

[Balance]

IWBUMS Build 41.42

Date: September 3, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.42

[New]

  • Added emote wheel, you currently press Q to open it.
    • Emotes wheels binded to Q by default.
    • Emotes wheel is now a long press to bring up.
    • Emotes wheel includes different looking emotes if you are in stealth
    • Pressing Q (shout) while crouched will now have different text and smaller sound radius.
    • Swinging your weapon in the air (not hitting anything) won't attract zombies anymore.
  • Added new sets of anim for fishing with spears.
  • Can now fish with a fishing rod while sitting on ground.
  • Updated the MacOS application icons.
  • Allow medical items to be dragged onto the list of injured body parts in the Health ui. Previously items could only be dragged onto the image of the body.
  • Made right-clicking items on the ground more reliable by checking if the item icon is within a certain distance of the mouse pointer. Previously, only items on the square that was clicked were detected. If the item was near the corner of a square, the user had to hunt around to find the right place to click.
  • Updated map to include recent fixes and Ben's Cabin

[Debug]

  • Added a Reload button to the lua debugger file list. It appears next to the file name of the item the mouse is hovering over.
  • Added an in-game animation-clip viewer accessed by CTRL+F7 in debug mode.

[Tutorial]

  • Quality of life changes and fixes
  • Updated with new controller icons from Binky

[Modding]

  • Moved the code for clicking on curtains, doors and light switches from Java to ISObjectClickHandler.lua so modders can change this behavior.
  • Added back code to IsoPlayer.removeSaveFile() to delete map_pN.bin savefiles to help Nolan on SuperSurvivors and other minor changes to make his life easier
  • Added a new item property called Tags. Tags is a list of strings that can be used to specify what the item is used for. Instead of checking lists of item types such as Hammer/HammerStone or Saw/GardenSaw, the game can check for items that have certain tags. These tags are: ChopTree, ClearAshes, CutPlant, DigGrave, DigPlow, Hammer, Saw, TakeDirt. Also, digital watches have the tag Digital which affects how the clock is displayed.
  • Moved recipecode.lua functions into a global table called Recipe. The functions are organized into sub-tables Recipe.OnCreate, Recipe.OnGiveXP, and Recipe.OnTest. This is similar to how vehicle-script lua functions work. For example, CutFish_TestIsValid is now Recipe.OnTest.CutFish. The old function names are still available to avoid breaking mods.
  • Error messages are printed to the console when loading a game if any recipe's OnCreate, OnGiveXP, or OnTest methods are undefined.

[Balance]

  • Reduced crit chance of knives.
  • Ignore the slowdown from injures, negative moodles, etc when closing or opening vehicle doors.

  • Ball-Peen Hammer can now be used for carpentry etc.
  • Spears used for fishing lose condition when damaged, and don't disappear from the player's inventory.
  • If you were about to do a close knife kill (jaw stab) forbidden when zombies are attacking - but your alternate normal attack will deal more damage. This avoids risk of unwanted jaw stabs when you have high small blade skills.
  • Increased reloading/aiming XP gain when level is under 5.
  • Increased minimum damage of M14 from 1 to 1.2.

[Animation]

  • Fixed various issues with moveables - primarily metal ones.
  • Fixed vehicles not colliding with zombies after the engine shuts off while the vehicle is still moving.
  • Fixed zombies sometimes attacking instead of playing their hit-reaction animation. (Difficult to reproduce, somehow this person had it happen twice in a row! https://clips.twitch.tv/HonestMagnificentGaurKlappa)
  • Fixed animation event garbage collection.
  • Fixed ActiveAnimXXX events occurring every frame after a new node is started in the same AnimSet.

  • Fixed rooms sometimes appearing unlit when the light switch was on. This happened when loading a part of the map with room light switches but no lamps or porch lights.
  • Fixed wearing each item of clothing in a stack, when those items have the same name but different underlying types (like Jacket).
  • Fixed favorited items being used for campfire fuel.

IWBUMS Build 41.41

Date: August 13, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.41

[New]

  • Enabled the "New Character" button after the player dies in singleplayer, so it's more clear that players can continue the save with a new character. This button was already available in splitscreen and multiplayer.
  • Added "Corpse Shadows" display option. Corpse shadows are drawn as a separate pass (along with player, vehicle, and zombie shadows) so could affect performance with lots of corpses.
  • Added a sandbox option to disable zombie lunge after climbing over fence (in the zombie lore).
  • Allow sleeping anywhere when the character reaches a fatigue level of 4. The sleep is short and has more negative side effects than a "bad bed".
  • Allow the player to go to sleep outdoors when it is raining.
  • Added "Simple Clothing Textures" option to disable blood/dirt/holes/patches on clothing textures. The blood/dirt/holes/patches are still on the clothes but aren't drawn. Turning this on can save texture memory and possibly improve performance on lower-spec hardware.
  • Added "Simple Weapon Textures" which disables drawing blood on weapons. Turning this on can save texture memory and possibly improve performance on lower-spec hardware (but not as much as Simple Clothing Textures).
  • Allow multiple map windows to be opened at the same time.
  • Added UIElement:onKeyPress(), onKeyRepeat() and onKeyRelease() methods so top-level UIElements can intercept keypresses without having to use events such as Events.OnKeyPressed or Events.OnCustomUIKey.

[Balance]

  • Slightly lowered spawnrate of watches on zombies
  • Slightly lowered the chance for pre-set alarms on watches
  • Rebalanced M14 Single Shot Assault Rifle.
    • Changed model
    • Now uses proper ammo (.308) instead of 5.56.
    • Magazine size set to 20
    • Damage has been balanced to bring it in line with other rifles
  • Reduced damage for Wood Axe to 1.3 Min and 3 Max, down from 3.6 Min and 4.6 Max. Previous damage values were workaround for a past bug that ended up way overpowered when said bug was fixed.
  • Added hoodies to some zombie outfits.
  • Big metal shelves now require metalwork to disassemble, also gives metal bars & plates (previously was only screws).
  • Increased spawn rate of fanny pack.
  • Increased weight of rifles.
  • Lowered min angle of shove to stop shove working on distant zombies
  • Lowered max range of shove as the range "extends" when player shoves (as body leans forward, so does the range)
  • Traps can get destroyed when the player is out of range
    • when destroyed, a destroyItem takes the traps place, by default this is 'unusable wood' but can be set in the trap definition
  • "Put in Container" inventory context-menu option now shows the name of the container (if any). Hopefully, this will make it clearer that the item isn't going into an equipped bag.
  • Increased the range the player prefers to target lunging zombies instead of prone zombies from 0.5 to 1.0

[Animation]

  • Adjusted the 2-handed miss animation to leave the weapon in left hand during the miss anim
  • Disallow fishing when sitting on ground, as said action has no playable animation at this time. If the UI is opened first and player then sits before starting fishing action a forceGetUp is performed.
  • Removed excess frames from "zombie get up from back" anim
  • Tweaked blend settings for "zombie getting up"

[Bug Fix]

  • Fixed a bug in the JOML Matrix4f class.
  • Deleted some old unused classes.
  • Fixed unnoticeable splitscreen rendering issue when the game is paused.
  • Fixed lua error with the Horde Manager ui when the spawn location goes out of bounds.
  • Fixed zombie models unfolding when they first become visible.
  • Fixed NullPointerException climbing through a windowframe without a window.
  • Fixed the close-window animation not playing when using a controller.
  • Fixed being able to sleep in a moving car.
  • Fixed Movable-cursor not being able to pick up office cubicle walls from west/north side, also made them hoppable.
  • Added functionallity for any object existing as Iso and Inventory (such as radios) to be dismantable/scapable in their IsoObject form by looking up the inventory item dismantle recipe. For this to work the spriteproperties must be set to 'CanScrap' AND have at least one dummy material defined for the scrapcode to recognize it as valid scrapable, the actual materials returned will be from the recipe
  • Fixed walls on the same tile overlapping door when the latter was opened.
  • Added a check that makes sure the door index is always after the last wall and wall index is always before the door.
  • Added a tileproperty TreatAsWallOrder for objects that aren't walls but should be treated as such in the indexing (such as the shower glass panes)
  • FPS multiplier now capped to a maximum of 5 (6fps->30fps). This possibly fixes death by stairs, along with other possible sudden deaths due to lag related pauses, as time will not pass significantly during such a pause.
  • Fixed some lambda garbage collection
  • Fixed duplicate Keyframe.BoneName strings (Bip01, etc)
  • Fixed death music not stopping after creating a new player using the New Character button.
  • Possibly fixed bug that treated walking zombies as if they're still knocked down, causing wrong target priorities when attacking affected zombies.
  • Fixed player movement stopping when playing the one-handed crit attack animation.
  • Fixed wrist-worn items clipping through long-sleeved clothes by hiding the wrist-worn items.
  • Fixed character-creation Beard Type "None" not being selected when loading a preset without a beard.
  • Fixed blur at certain zoom levels
  • Fixed blood not being drawn temporarily on hotbar weapon models when equipping or unequipping them.
  • Fixed various debug panels affecting a dead player after creating a new player with the New Character button.
  • Fixed recipes not preserving the "favorite" status of items when the result item has the same type as a source item.
  • Fixed zombies ending up on their back when they are hit while flipping from their back to their front.
  • Fixed the "close window" animation playing when the E key is pressed on a closed barricaded window.

IWBUMS Build 41.40

New jewelry that can be worn by the player.

Date: July 30, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.40

[New]

  • Added jewelry that can be worn on player: necklaces, earrings and rings on fingers.
  • Added ability to refill water dispensers
  • Drainable items now change their weight depending on how full they are
  • Updated credits
  • Added bracelets, watches, dogtags etc to zombies. NOTE: OLD WATCHES ARE DEPRECATED. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND NEW WATCHES.
  • Added SetMeleeDelay animation event that can be used to set the delay between attacks. This is basically the same as RecoilDelay which is used to set the delay between firearm shots.
  • New thing for recipes.txt:
    • Normally a recipe source contains a list of hard-coded item types.
    • This doesn't work well with all the new clothing items.
    • Now a recipe source of the form "[function]" specifies the name of a Lua function that will be called to get a list of items that can be used as a source item.
    • See DismantleDigitalWatch_GetItemTypes() in recipecode.lua for an example.
  • Added context-menu tooltips showing the percent full of water-containing items when taking or transferring water.
  • Added IsoRoofFixer.java to prevent falling through roofs not placed by the mapping tools
    • can attempt to fix roofs for falling player per tile or on a per room space below basis, defaults to latter
    • locations are stored in meta data save so it doesnt attempt to fix it twice when player removes these floors (per room mode only).
    • optionally can place floors that match the roof style, or invisible floors
  • Added some more system specs printing in console logs
  • Display item icons in the "Items List" debug ui.

[Context Menus]

  • Added an optional way of interacting with context menus.
    • Instead of displaying child menus to the left or right of the parent menu, the parent menu is hidden and the child menu is displayed in place of the parent menu. An extra menu option is added at the top of a child menu to go back to the parent menu. This behavior can be enable or disabled for each splitscreen player in the Accessibility options. This works well with a controller. Mouse users may or may not prefer this method.
  • Attached items (i.e. hotbar items) may emit light, not just items held in the player's hands. Currently the game does not have any light-emitting items that can go in the hotbar, but this could be used to equip a chest-mounted or head-mounted light.
  • The "Equip/Turn On/Off Light Source" key will toggle a light-emitting item in the hotbar if present, instead of equipping the item in the player's hand.
  • Pressing a keyboard shortcut for a hotbar slot will activate or deactivate an item instead of equipping it, if possible.
  • A hotbar slot is highlighted red if a dragged item cannot be equipped in that slot.
  • Non-weapon items may be dragged to the hotbar. Non-weapon items could already be added to the hotbar using context menus and radial menus.
  • The left d-pad radial menu (which previously only showed equippable weapons) now also displays the best light-emitting item in the player's inventory. This can be used to equip and toggle a flashlight when using a controller.
  • Added an animation to context menus when displaying them with the "Single Context Menu" option when using a mouse. There was already an animation when using a controller.
  • Prefer to display tooltips to the right or left of context menus instead of on top of them.
  • When using the "Single Context Menu" option with the mouse, short submenus are positioned under the mouse instead of at the parent's position.
  • Allow items to be dragged to the primary and secondary slot icons to equip them. Dragging two-handed items between the two icons equips the item in both hands.
  • Display all known seed types in the farming context menu, so mods don't need to override ISFarmingMenu.lua.
  • Display the type of container selected in the loot window. This was already done for bags, but will now also show icons for clothing driers, washers etc.
  • Added a radial-menu option to smash a vehicle window when outside the vehicle. This option was already available in the right-click context menu.
  • Added "Toggle Models Enabled" keybind, F3 by default, so people can change the key that hides/shows models in debug mode.
  • Added "Toggle Animation Text" keybind, F6 by default, so people can change the key that hides/shows animation-related text in debug mode.
  • New "Wear" submenu for garments that can be worn in different ways: Baseball cap, Poncho, Fanny Pack, Hoodie etc.
  • Changed the On/Off button in the Set Alarm dialog to a checkbox.
  • Added an option to toggle aim on and off by tapping the Aim key. Holding the Aim key for more than 1/2 a second aims without forcing aim on, so aiming stops when the Aim key is released. Running will turn off forced aim.
  • The "Attach" menu for attaching items to the hotbar adds "(Replace XYZ)" if the item will replace an existing item, when clicking on an item in the inventory window.
  • The vehicle radial-menu option to lock and unlock doors also locks and unlocks the trunk when using a controller. Players using the mouse can already do this by clicking the trunk icon in the vehicle dashboard.
  • The Attach menu options show the item to be replaced in a tooltip instead of the option name, to match the Wear menu
  • Added tooltips to the Eat submenu to show how much hunger/thirst/unhappiness will be changed, as well as displaying a warning about uncooked food and food that is better hot or cold.
  • Added "Cooked in microwave" warning to Eat submenu tooltips.
  • Don't wrap long lines in wear-item tooltips (the ones that display the bite/scratch bonuses)

[Tutorial]

  • Added code for Turbo's new objective markers
  • Added homing marker objective marker
  • Added improved item highlights
  • Improved Spiffo tutorial window placement
  • Added (incomplete) work on controllers with tutorial
  • Added zombie alert when player opens curtain to see feeding brothers

[Modding]

    • Added a fix/function for radio modding, to allow for timing sensitive stuff like voice-over mods.
    • lines in WordZed can now be prefixed with "${t:xx.xxx}" where x is the amount of seconds. This will override the standard line triggering limitations in the radio system and use the supplied amount seconds before moving to the next line.
    • Removed the hard-coded list of languages so mods can add new languages.
      • Languages are loaded by looking in the media/lua/shared/Translate folder for the game and any active mods.
      • In each language folder, a new file called language.txt specifies the name and character encoding.
      • The old "Language" enum is now a class. This shouldn't break mods (unless they were calling an unimplemented method).
    • Added map description.txt and title.txt translation files to the media/lua/shared/Translate/EN/<MAP>/ folders. These are now read for the English language so they can be overridden by mods.
    • Fixed untranslatable text "Delete 'preset'?" in the sandbox options ui.
    • media/lua/shared/Translate/XX/language.txt files may have a line "base = YY," where YY is the name of another language to use for missing translations, before using the default language EN.
      • For example, a mod that wants to override some French translations could use this language.txt file:
    VERSION = 1,
    text = French Mod,
    charset = Cp1252,
    base = FR,

[Balance]

  • Tooltips for freezing or thawing food displays freezing time.
  • Cooking time is no longer displayed for frozen food (because it can't be cooked).
  • Added a recipe for emptying a Griddle Pan.
  • Changed Empty Paint Bucket to store water.
  • Only digital watches show the date in the time display.
  • Corpses and generators tidy-up
    • Filling a grave is now a separate action from burying the 5th corpse. It still happens automatically after burying the 5th corpse.
    • Burying a corpse no longer plays a shoveling animation. This was broken since the shovel couldn't be equipped while the corpse was still in the player's hands, so the shovel might appear in the player's hands and on their back.
    • When equipping an item in the hands, corpses and generators are dropped first in a separate action. Dropping a corpse or generator used to happen instantly as soon as the item was equipped.
    • Items in the hands are unequipped in a separate action before picking up a corpse or generator. This looks better when the equipped items are in the hotbar.
    • Right-clicking on an equipped corpse or generator says "Drop" instead of "Unequip".
    • Fixed "Grab One / Grab Half / Grab All" being displayed for stacks of corpses in a container.
  • Campfire and fireplace tidy-up
    • Charcoal may be used as fuel in campfires and fireplaces.
    • Each use of charcoal adds 30 minutes of fuel to a bbq/campfire/fireplace, instead of using the entire bag.
    • Charcoal barbeques can use the same fuel and starting methods as campfires and fireplaces.
    • Only clothing with FabricType defined (stuff that can be torn) can be used as fuel in a bbq/campfire/fireplace.
    • New "Add Fuel" and "Light Fire" tooltips show the amount of burn time for each item.
    • Stopped rain reducing campfire fuel twice as fast, as it looked like a bug.

[Map]

  • Fixed lack of generators in Kingsmouth and added new 'Hangar' room def
  • Fixed non-cutaway wall on Studio
  • General improvements to both challenge maps

[Animation]

  • Enabled EarlyTransitionOut for 1HDefault and SpearDefault.
  • adjusted the female bash mesh to look a bit more natural
  • tweaked hand positions of 2h strafe left and right
  • added style option to Rachel hairstyle and tweaked some other style options.
  • added masks to eating actions to improve blend between upper and lower body
  • adjusted Bob/Bob_StrafeAimSpear_Right.X and Bob/Bob_WalkBwdAim2H_Heavy.X as weapon was not anchored in hand
  • adjusted 2H_heavy attacks to end in correct pose
  • Fixed a bone-reparenting issue that caused weapons to slide around in the hands, most noticeably when fast-forwarding.
  • Declared IsoLivingCharacter.bareHands 'final', and fixed duplicate allocation.
  • Reduced MinRange for various stabbing weapons to 0.61, which is the same as other stabbing weapons. Now that attacks take the zombie's head position into account, and the head is usually closer to the player than the body, MinRange doesn't need to be so large. The ranges can be viewed by enabling the Character.Debug.Render.AimCone debug option.
  • Fixed stabbing weapons without CloseKillMove defined getting jaw-stab attacks.
  • Fixed the shove animation restarting when the player starts or stops moving.
  • Fixed the player hitting vehicles they aren't facing.
  • Fixed the player's bit-while-sitting animation looping forever.
  • Removed duplicate transition in zombie/walktoward/transitions.xml
  • Updated transitions and anim variable sets and conditions to work with EarlyTransitionOut
    • All transitions are now listening to ActiveAnımFinishing instead of ActiveAnimLooped.
      • Using <m_time>Start<m_time> instead of <m_timePc>0</m_timePc>
      • Using <m_time>End<m_time> instead of <m_timePc>1</m_timePc>
    • This allows us to fire the event at the point of EarlyOut instead of at the very end.
    • Prevents infinite loops caused by waiting for an event at 100% that never comes.
      • This should work just fine with all existing anim states, while fixing all infinite loops.
    • To enable an EarlyTransitionOut for a node, simply add <m_EarlyTransitionOut>true</m_EarlyTransitionOut>

[Bug Fix]

  • The player will ignore zombies standing on the other side of a fence if there is a prone zombie on the near side of the fence.
  • The player may target the head, waist or feet of prone zombies, instead of only the head. Targeting the head still does the most damage.
  • Fixed weapons having an extra 0.5 range.
    • This extra range was only supposed to be used before an attack starts, to see if a prone zombie or lunging zombie should be hit.
    • This shouldn't affect weapon ranges though, because now the position of the head of standing zombies is checked, and it tends to be 0.5 units ahead of the body when a zombie is lunging.
    • In theory, this will increase the range from 0.5 to 1.0 when choosing to attack a standing zombie instead of a nearer prone one, +0.5 for the head relative to the body, and +0.5 for the "extra lunge range".
  • Fixed being unable to equip a corpse or generator from a container if the player was carrying too much. This prevented the player grabbing a generator from a vehicle, for example. It had to be dropped onto the ground first. The player was always able to equip a corpse or generator from the ground regardless of weight.
  • Fixed a lua error using the farming context menu to plant seeds without waiting for the previous action to complete.
  • Fixed chance of success and chance of damage sometimes being less than 0 or greater than 100 when installing or uninstalling vehicle parts.
  • Fixed cutaway fences looking jagged at the bottom
  • Fixed all of fences not cutting away
  • Fixed Bite/Scratch protection from Tailoring and TV shows XP gain producing floating values
  • Fixed situations in which Rip Sheets should be called Rip Clothing
  • Fixed interrupted 'Pour tainted water' into an empty container action resulting in drinkable water
  • Fixed Butchered caught animals not showing some weight and calories variation
  • Fixed many clothing items that couldn't be ripped
  • Fixed freezing and thawing times of food increasing as day length increases. I set the times to approximately match the existing durations at the default 30-minute day: Freezing:- 4 hours. Thawing: 15 minutes in an oven, 1.5 hours at room temperature, 3.0 hours in a fridge.
  • Fixed the radial menu used to switch the furniture-moving mode not working.
  • Fixed unnecessary counting of options in ISContextMenu.lua.
  • Fixed lua error in ISMoveableInfoWindow caused by empty overlay sprites on furniture. Could add a "none" sprite to the overlay editor.
  • Fixed the player's model lighting changing sometimes after equipping or unequipping items
  • Fixed the UI flickering sometimes when offscreen rendering is enabled.
  • Fixed languages not loading on Linux and MacOS.
  • Fixed the appearance of the mods ui when there are no mods.
  • Fixed carpentry materials not being removed from the player's hands after crafting.
  • Fixed the OnTickEvenPaused event not being triggered when the game was paused. It was checking GameLoadingState.bDone=true, but that is set to false when loading finishes.
  • Fixed the container buttons in the loot window not being updated after picking up or placing furniture.
  • Fixed floating run animation after the player gets up after running into a zombie.
  • Fixed corpses and zombies on the ground not having shadows.
  • Fixed actions using the amount of puddle water on river/pool squares.
  • Fixed the clock not being displayed with the new worn watches.
  • Fixed the list of lights touching a square not getting cleared when moving to an area without lights.

  • Fixed shadows going haywire on fast-forward.
  • Fixed being able to take dirt from a square with a farm plant on it.
  • Fixed being able to dig a furrow on an existing one. There is already a "Remove" option.
  • Fixed being able to place dirt/gravel/sand on a farm plant.
  • Fixed leg-twitch while attacking with 2H weapons. The turning state did not have a way of exiting while an attack was happening.
  • Fixed zombies failing to climb over fences or through windows sometimes.
  • Fixed Disassemble context-menu action equipping a welding mask in the hand instead of wearing it.
  • Fixed zombies sometimes walking slowly into walls when they are approaching the player.
  • Fixed zombie-crawler/hitreaction/Default.xml animation being looped.
  • Fixed missing "Campfire Info" option when clicking a campfire behind a carpentry wall.
  • Fixed not being able to start bandaging wounds while moving, even though moving is allowed after starting.
  • Fixed the inventory-window and loot-window selections changing as timed actions removed items.
  • Possibly fixed multiple zombies getting jaw-stabbed by a single attack.
  • Fixed the Wear submenu not showing bite and scratch defense bonuses. The Wear tooltip shows which items will be replaced, instead of the context-menu text being "Replace X with Y". This was done because sometimes several items are replaced, such as when putting on a Spiffo Suit.
  • Fixed duplicating fanny packs and other items.
  • Possibly fixed the player attacking after finishing the stagger-back animation. Needs feedback.
  • Fixed bite and scratch defense always being green in the Wear tooltip.
  • The Wear tooltip shows the item-to-be-worn's bite and scratch defense as well as the +/- change, the same way item tooltips do. "Bite Defense: 0 (-10)" for example.
  • Fixed the "Render Rain When Indoors" option not being changeable.
  • Fixed "Dismantle Digital Watch" recipe not working with new watches.
  • Added back "Craft Sheet Rope", "Rip Clothing", and "Rip Sheets" recipes.
  • Fixed available recipes not being sorted to the top of the recipe list when the "Filter All" checkbox is checked.
  • Changed some usages of Stack to ArrayList. Stack is synchronized which is a bit slower.
  • Declared some fields and classes 'final'.
  • Removed HandWeapon.directional
  • Fixed some lambda-related gc
  • Fixed the broken appearance of wrist-watch models caused by masks.
  • Fixed text overlap in the Disassemble context-menu tooltips when using larger tooltip fonts.
  • Fixed tutorial lua error when not using a controller.
  • Stop creating a new inventory-window tooltip every time a tooltip is displayed, just reuse the existing one.
  • Fixed the display of rotten-food hunger values in evolved recipe tooltips (too many numbers after the decimal point).
  • Fixed inventory-window tooltips not being hidden when context menus are visible, when using the "Single Context Menu" option.
  • Fixed lua error with context menus when not using the "Single Context Menu" option
  • Fixed zombies crawling over furniture jumping upright when hit by the player.
  • Fixed lua error right-clicking on items in the hotbar while the game is paused. Hotbar context menus are no longer displayed when the game is paused.
  • Reuse ISContextMenu objects instead of creating new ones each time
  • Fixed "... and 0 more" text in recipe tooltips when exactly 10 source items are possible
  • Hide "Condition" in jewelry tooltips (any item with Cosmetic=TRUE).
  • fixed bug in RichText Panel and Layout where drawTextLeft was called.
  • Fixed "Rip Clothing" recipe not producing dirty strips from dirty clothes.
  • Fixed not reusomh context-menu tooltips instead of creating new ones each time. The carpentry and metalwork menus together created 60+ tooltips.
  • Possibly fixed the "Game Paused" message not being rendered after quitting to the main menu.
  • Fixed some issues with the zombie climb-over-fence crawling attack.
    • The zombie's movement was restricted.
    • The angle to crawl wasn't always calculated correctly.
    • The test for the attack hitting wasn't quite right.
    • The player's immunity to these attacks didn't handle different framerates (IsoGameCharacter.lungeFallTimer).
  • Fixed item.RequireInHandOrInventory being treated as DisplayName in ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.doEatOption() instead of an item type.
  • Fixed DisplayName for Necklace_Choker_Amber and Necklace_Choker_Diamond.
  • Fixed "Medium Silver Looped Earrings" being named "Gold".
  • Rebuilt UI2.pack to add a few missing item icons, and the blood/hole/patch textures shown in the inspect-clothing ui.
  • Fixed the Metalwork menu tooltips using the old DisplayName translations.
  • Fixed Lua errors when adding fuel to a barbeque/campfire/fireplace from a stack of items before the previous action completes. This is an old issue where the same item is used by multiple actions in the action queue. After the first action completes, the item is no longer available for use by subsequent actions. This type of issue can be avoided by using the new ISContextMenu.addActionsOption() which adds a placeholder action to the timed-action queue. When the placeholder action starts, it calls a function to add the actual actions to the queue. The new actions are inserted into the queue immediately after the placeholder action. The function that is called can find available items of the proper type, so the items to use are determined when the action starts, instead of when the context menu is first displayed.
  • Stop invisible-player attacks creating noise which attracts zombies.
  • Fixed grass/vegetation showing over interior walls when wind makes them sway
  • Fixed traps exploit by placing window frames near them making them indestructable.
    • traps can no longer be placed near windowframes/hoppables
    • if a windowframe is constructed near the trap after placing the trap first, the trap will consume bait but never catch anything
  • Fixed fossoil sign infinite pick up / acting as lightswitch. This will be fixed for new worlds, however existing worlds will have the problem remaining due to saved data
  • Fixed unnecessarily creating copies of clothing model textures that don't have blood, dirt or holes. This mostly includes bags, hats, jewelry and watches
  • Fixed the "zombie surprised player" sound not playing. This broke when we started spawning zombies in houses before the player entered the house. They used to spawn as soon as the player opened the door to a room.
  • Fixed text width of "Hair" and "Beard" translations in the character-info ui not being taken into account when aligning text.

  • Fixed reloading an empty magazine and putting it back into the gun after using the Eject Magazine context-menu command. Refactored parts of ISLoadBulletsInMagazine.lua into ISUnloadBulletsFromMagazine.lua.
  • Fixed using the wrong facing direction when calculating player aim. (The effect of this bug was that zombies that should have been in the aim cone based on the direction the player was aiming with the cursor-thingy were missed sometimes.)

  • Fixed the version of Java used in popman/src/doJNI.bat.
  • Fixed untranslatable new hairstyles.
  • Fixed issues with saved outfits in the character-creation ui.
    • Translated names of clothing items were saved, which breaks when the display language changes.
    • The selected texture (color of Baseball Cap for example) wasn't loaded properly.
    • The wrong skin color was saved after clicking the Randomize button but not selecting a skin color from the combobox.

  • Fixed not skipping the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark when reading description.txt and title.txt map translation files.
  • Fixed some confusion about which equipped item to use for flashlight cone width, etc. If there is an active light in both hands, the right-hand item has priority. This can be fixed later to allow multiple active lights, not just in the hands, for headlamps, etc.

    • ModelInstance.reset() shouldn't call "Pool.tryRelease(AnimPlayer)" because AnimationPlayer is owned by IsoGameCharacter. Multiple ModelInstances (clothing models for example) all point to the same AnimationPlayer.
    • Fixed exception in PZArrayUtil.newInstance() when the new array is smaller than the one being copied.

IWBUMS Build 41.28

Date: January 30, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.28

[New]

  • Experimental optimization. This allows zombies to be updated every X frames via a per-object gametime multiplier that depends on proximity / visibility to player. It spreads update ticks of zombies over frames, meaning higher FPS with large crowds.

IWBUMS Build 41.26

Date: January 14, 2020
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.26

[New]

  • Revamped mod system:
    • Updated the Mods screen. The mod description is displayed for the selected mod on the right side of the screen, instead of in the list of mods. Other details such as the ID, Workshop ID (if any), installation directory, and any posters are displayed on the right.
    • mod.info can have multiple poster= lines to specify multiple images in the Mods screen.
    • mod.info can have multiple description= lines which add to the total description.
    • The New Game screen has a button to choose which mods are enabled for the new game.
    • Each savefile has its own list of mods saved in a file named mods.txt. mods.txt also has a list of map folders that is used in cases where parts of different maps overlap each other.
    • The Load Game screen displays the map folders and mod names used by the selected savefile. Since old savefiles do not have a mods.txt file, all currently-enabled mods are used when loading an old savefile. After loading an old savefile for the first time, the mods for that savefile cannot be changed, except by editing or deleting mods.txt. The old Zomboid/mods/loaded.txt file has been replaced by Zomboid/mods/default.txt. This file contains the default set of enabled mods that will be used when creating a new game. The default mods can be overridden when creating a new game in the New Game screen. default.txt also contains the list of map folders that was previously saved in options.ini (the old "mapOrder" setting that was used to deal with overlapping maps). If there are no map-overlap conflicts, this list of map folders is empty.
  • Added bBeingSteppedOn IsoZombie GameVariable to test if a player (or zombie) is standing on a prone zombie. Originally I was going to use this to prevent fake-dead zombies turning over when the player is standing on them.Prone zombies won't stand up if another zombie is standing on them.
  • Changes on character creation:
    • Can now save/load outfit (clothing, m/f, name)
    • Can now select texture when item using multiple texture but no colors (jeans comes in 3 colors, but a random one was choosen everytime).
  • Tweaked washing clothes at sinks:
    • Clothing is washed one item at a time.
    • Items are washed in order from least-bloody to most-bloody when Wash > All is chosen.
    • Context-menu tooltips display the required amount of soap and water.
    • The correct amount of soap and water is used.
  • Added a display option to specify which modifier key used in combination with the mousewheel cycles between containers in the inventory and loot windows. The default is Shift.
  • The "Walk To" context-menu command displays a cursor to specify the location to walk to. This allows the player to click multiple times without having to choose the "Walk To" command again, making long jaunts through forests easier.
  • Items are now placed onto an adjacent not-full square when dropping items on the ground. This is needed since the loot window displays items from the surrounding 3x3 squares, and each square can only hold 50 weight.
  • Added an option (under Accessibility) to drop items near the center of the square the player is standing on, rather than exactly where the player is standing, for neat freaks.
  • Items now transferred from lightest to heaviest, to maximize the number of items that will be transferred.
  • Animation now plays when transferring items between main inventory and equipped bags.
  • Vehicle-headlight distance and intensity are based on the part condition instead of being randomly set when the vehicle is created. Headlight width is also based on part condition. The Focus Up and Focus Down context-menu commands which changed headlight width were removed.

  • Added a nag panel that pops up the first time the user tries to access the Mods screen.
  • Added the word "ERROR" to the little red box of doom.

Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.24

[New]

  • Added zombie turn alerted
  • When climbing through a window and a zombie blocking it making you fall back into the house, zombie will emit a sound so you know it's there.

  • Zombies now won't get up if a player is standing on top of them.
  • Game now detects when zombies have been walking-on-the-spot for several seconds, then stop moving.
  • Groups of zombies attacking vehicles now coorindated better to avoid them endlessly walking into a vehicle they can't possibly reach.
  • Added prediction for melee combat. If you're attacking a zombie that is lunging toward you, we increase virtually the range of weapon to detect an attack, this should make the "miss" animation play way less often when you actually will hit the zombie.

  • Quality-of-life improvements to taking dirt/gravel/sand.
    • The most-full bag is chosen automatically from inventory (and in backpacks) instead of having to choose one from a submenu.

  • Quality-of-life improvements to pouring dirt/gravel/sand.
    • The cursor displays a green or red outline to make it easier to see.

  • Fixed not spawning zombies eating corpses inside rooms.
  • Fixed spawning zombies eating corpses in a room when zombie spawning is disabled.
  • Fixed spawning zombies eating corpses with a wall or door between the corpse and the zombie. Try harder to find a place to spawn a corpse inside a room, instead of always choosing the center.
  • Fixed blood splatter causing bushes and trees to rustle.
  • Fixed not being able to walk off the floor in all directions after building a new staircase.
  • Fixed corpses/items/zombies in rooms spawning in inaccessible areas behind stairs (when the area is 1x1 or 2x1 or 1x2 only).

    • added clothing wind resist, decreases windchill effect, can be set from 0.0 to 1.0

    • added time penalty for timed actions when hands/arms are very cold
    • added bodypart widget to protection panel
    • changed PlayerClimateDebug to show debug stuff for thermoregulator now
    • added BodyPartContacts, can be used to determine which body part connects to another
    • added distance to core, skinsurface percentage and umbrella mod to BodyPartType
  • Added Clothing Repair:
  • Right click an item to add/remove patches to clothing.
  • Adding a patch to a hole removes it, otherwise it simply gives you defense bonus (need to add more insulation to them if simply upgrading).
  • Quality of the defense depend on fabric used & tailoring skill.
  • In coming weeks a UI will be made to inspect clothing so it'll be less clicky through submenus.
  • Changed how ripping clothing works to make it easier to update when new clothes are being added.
  • Can now rip leather/denim stuff to get strips (requires scissors).
  • Boosted overall thread spawn rate, can also get leather strips when disassembling leather stuff (couch etc.)
  • Patch textures currently all the same no matter the fabric used, they are placeholder textures.
  • Gun improvements:
    • Tweaked hit chance with guns: should be easier and have a way more 'linear' feel toward aiming level now.
  • Improved zombies sprinter:
    • They now sprint only if they have a target, otherwise they just walk.

    • I changed the water-shader code to render in two passes, first the solid water tiles, then the regular tiles, then the shore tiles. It fixes some tiles being hidden on the docks/boathouse north of Westpoint, and the railway bridge east of Westpoint. Previously you couldn't see the transparent floors on the edges of the railway bridge because the water covered them.

    • Fixed puddle data rendering. This was to fix a bug when opening/closing a door using a controller, puddles would appear briefly in a 3x3 area around the door. It didn't happen when using the 'E' key, strangely. I think the puddles rendering isn't thread safe though, the main thread could be updating IsoPuddlesGeometry.pda/etc while the render thread is reading them.
    • Fixed the second container in the loot window being auto-selected instead of the first when using a controller. IIRC the floor used to be displayed at the top of the list of containers in the loot window.
    • Fixed some garage doors with walls behind them in cell 25,31.
    • Fixed zombies inherit some other room distributions, making easy to farm some items by luring zombies into specific rooms.

    • Fixed rendering of wall vines being affected by the old circle-stencil.
    • Added a delay-before attack animation to the zombie "attack" state in 100% unfair instant pounce situations. The animation lasts 1/2 second. This replaces the 'grace' period from the last patch.

Changed WaterDrip sound to only play on IsoFlagType.waterPiped sprites with water (so they won't drip after the water shuts off, unless connected to a water source). Yuri found that when there are puddles on the ground, there are way too many WaterDrip sounds playing. That was due to IsoObject.hasWater() returning true on squares that have puddles.

  • Added options for transparency / visibility of iso cursor for combat.

[Bug Fix]

  • Increased memory allocation for 64bit zomboid that could potentially avoid crashes on some systems loading into game.
  • Fixed shader issues with clothing overlays and holes which affect some GPUs (big source of hangs/crashes on game load / leaving spawn house and probably the same cause of some mac issues reported)
  • Render thread will now throw out better error messages for diagnosing future problems.
  • Fixed zombies playing their death sound sometimes when stabbed (but not jaw-stabbed). This happened when bCloseKill=true but CriticalHit=false.

  • Fixed zombie number issue on Survival
  • Fixed pathfinding failing when moving on the same square when that square is blocked in all directions. This worked before luautils.walkAdj() was changed to not call AdjacentFreeTileFinder.isTileOrAdjacent(). https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26223-stuck-in-one-spot/
