If you want mod creation advice, I'd recommend the Project Zomboid Modding Community on Discord.

@AceCat ye, im asking you. well, i think we can figure it out somehow and both learn something knew :)

@myhathazbulletz Asking me ? so confused. i just a guy learn Lua coding like a few day ..

hey man, im making a mod of my own and need some help with scripting, since im not really good with coding and stuff, its a small and simple thing (i think so), do you mind to talk about it in DMs?

Much appreciated!

@Fluffy89
ok now i update the new version
i just test it for 5 min
it work , but i don't promise

Yeah I dont imagine it'd be a difficult change, would just add a sandbox-options.txt file, and the relevant translations, then in your code add a check if the sandbox option for crafting dialogue is enabled when the action finishes and done.

My problem is I run this on a server, so getting each player to do this wouldn't be feasible for me.

I could try taking a look at your code and make the required changes though if you'd be interested and able to look through them and update the mod with it?

@Fluffy89
yep.
But i got very busy this month , can not make a new version in time
if u have some lua code exp. u can change the code by youself like 5 min.

Is there a way to disable the characters messages when scrapping jewelry to scrap or unusable metal, and when crafting nails too? It get's very spammy.

@chicken biscuit
only test on build 41
if u used on build 41 and didn't work , send the report log to me pls

Oh... Can this mod not be used on older saves?

Am I doing something wrong? I'm not able to scrap jewelry with a hammer. does it require a certain level of metalworking?

Mods que deberían ser vanilla.

This is pog, imusing few mod that need a lot of scrap, thank you so much for this

@AceCat that would be fantastic! ^-^

@Swedin maybe i can build a new version only enable scrap and nail, without unusable metal

can you remove the unusable metal source entirly? with mod ammomaker its way too chessy. example: 1 accesoire = 1 unusable metal, 1 unusable metal with ammomaker = 10 scrap metal
he made 10 scrap metal because its has the same weight as 1 unusable metal

Your update seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you for fixing!

thx @Ｓｅｎｎｙツ for submitting the error logs
it "absolute" fix :/ i think

@Ｓｅｎｎｙツ ok
i maybe figured it out
what's wrong with the code

@Captain Tofu
yep like 1, 5 exp

I am also having an issue of not getting MetalScrap when the message shows.
This is the only thing showing in the "Console.txt" related to the event:
LOG : General , 1697871769536> 6,168,121,360> ERROR: ItemContainer.AddItem: can't find base.UnusableMetal

There doesn't seem to be anything around it that would give it an error.

Does this give experience?

@PistachiTao I test after ur report , but it still work
is that some mods u install cause this problem?
u can just only enable MetalScrapFromJewely and MetalScrapToNails test it ~
plz report it after u test

Mod doesn't produce any scrap/other metal when deconstructing jewelry successfully. Please update. Thanks.

(It's most likely due to recent patches, other mods stopped working too with the mini-patch)

@sterotypical can u send me the debug logs and All ur enable mods ID
i think there is some mods i didn't test with my mod

i have the option to scrap jewlery and it says both messages like yay i got scrap or i didnt get scrap but it gives nothing in the inventory is there somewhere i can send console logs to you to figure out why?

@Pandora
i didn't found any problem in my code
i test it in MP/SP still work
maybe incompatible will some mods
but in my mod pack it still work perfectly

I don't get any metal scrap from jewelry, I have the option and everything and I even get the message "yes I got some scrap" but I have nothing in my inventory.

@Bee Enable mods MetalScrapFromJew and MetalScrapToNails
u need hammer(stone/roundball/normal) or "stone"
UnusableMetal or ScrapMetal
u can find those recipes in "Metalworking"

How to make Nais

emmm ok....
feel nice when its work( even i didn't do anything :D

edit:
I don't know why or how but now it works, I restarted the game a couple of times and now it works like before :)

when I interact with a jewel to transform it, the animation plays normally, but I don't get any messages from the character or errors from the game and when I finish the animation nothing is generated
(everything works except metal generation)

@GONK DROID @thebluewitch
can u send me more messages about this
picture or logs?
In my test , i disable all my mod , only metalscrapfromJew / Nails mods left
its work in MP and SP, so confused
game version : 41.78.16

Hey
It still doesn't work for me, it doesn't send any messages
:(

All working again! Thanks AceCat :)

Okay, I see there was a recent update to the mod, I was confused as to why it doesn't seem to be working in Single Player atm =(

I haven't been recieving the messages showing pass or fail for gaining nails, and even with my 6 metal craft toon, I haven't seen any nails even after 20 bits of scrap

fixed , remove "ontest" function from lua
test it in mp its work right now

checked
because my clumsy fingers,
i tap a wrong word in recipe

ok got it
check now

heya, after the recent update the scrapfromJewely mod no longer seems to work in mp :(

your character goes to dissemble jewellery into scrap but there is no text above the chracters head and no scrap is produced despite the jewellery being destroyed
(tested with 200 jewellery & max metalworking + small blunt stats)

does this work in MP?

yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy

yeah, i add Unusable metal into recipe
now we can make nails by Unusable metal

maybe add the ability to use "Unusable metal" to make nails too?

非常有用！

这很有用。

thats useful!

maybe fix it
and add combine option
combine all jewely to Dogtag
