Gun's Poster Factory

Description
This mod is a Base mod for poster Addons

It is required for poster addons to work


Inside The mods files are tools to make your own poster addon

There is a python script that requires gimp to work

THIS SCRIPT WAS WRITTEN FOR GIMP 2.0 any version 3.0 and up will not work with it atm. eventually i will update it


note- the script has a single poster placement version, this only works by itself so is recommended to replace posters already generated


How to Use it

Navigate to steamlibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/108600/3431926792

inside the mod folder you'll find a template mod, a readme, and a python script.

The Readme contains instructions on how to add your own posters


Basic Steps

Add python script to gimp plugin directory

Open desired images in gimp and run script

Save image as png

Open Project zomboid modding tools provided on steam

Pack png into .pack file and add to modtemplate

Add names for posters and some other info to a lua file

Edit modinfo and workshop.txt to what you desire


How it Works in the game

This mod adds A blank poster item to the game, currently all there is is a craft recipe for it that requires 4 paper.

When placed the blank poster will give a context option that allows you to pick which poster you want to appear on it. This poster will then turn into the new sprite then having the option to reset it to a blank poster


Future plans to make your posters their own items and spawn into the world


Official Addon

Spiffo posters

I appreciate the response. Honestly, I was already going a little crazy. Well, all I have to do is look for version 2.0.

@novato_aprendiz The script was only made for the 2.0 versions of gimp so it will not work with 3.0 and up. For now i would recommend getting the last 2.0 version of gimp if you want to use this. I'm working on an update for it now but it wont be done for a while. it looks like they've changed a lot of things and my python is pretty bad

Hi, I downloaded the mod, but the current version of GIMP is 3.04, and the one with the plugin is 2.0. So it doesn't read and doesn't appear in filters even though I put it in the corresponding folder. Either I'm doing something wrong, or the current version isn't updated.
Thank you for your time.

Ah okay that makes sense. Thank you for the response that makes sense.

@Obi One Jabroni the issue is you are looking in the base mod files. you need to be doing everything in the folder named posterAddonTemplate. that is your mod folder that you will remove from the poster factory mod and add to. I'll try to add more to the readme to clarify this sometime later. if you directly modified the base mod files you may need to reset it by resubbing

Hm that's all that's in the Lua? I may have accidently ruined it. There should be comments in there to help
Obi One Jabroni Feb 26 @ 4:08pm 
I appreciate the quick follow up responses. The last step in your instructions may be what is tripping me up.

You have the following instruction listed.

1.Go into this file and set the variable called pngname to the name of the .png you created for the spritesheet

The issue is that when in that Lua file there is no pngname listed to change. It just shows the following.

--PosterMaker.PosterList = {sheetName = set1,count = 60,names = list of names}

Should I be changing the sheet name for the variable, or is it something else?

I would suggest looking at the spiffo posters for the proper setup. I won't be able to help for a day or so
Obi One Jabroni Feb 26 @ 3:07pm 
Thank you for the quick response.

I followed all the instructions, but when in game and I make a poster , it shows a tab to select poster, but no options for pictures. Any advice on how to fix it or where I went wrong?

if you mean the .pack files: You can pack as many images as you want into one file. just place them all in the same folder, do create pack as normal and overwrite the old one. keep in mind this deletes it and creates a new one. You will still have to enter separate png names for it. if you want multiple just adding another line of pack = and adding it to the same folder does the trick
