Yeah, feel free to join my Discord and post details there.

Latest B41. Running several QOL mods & ReShade. Disabling reshade stopped the saturation on freeze, but the game still freezes.

Debug mode stack trace was:
1. This photo mod
2. Efficiency Skill mod

After disabling the efficiency skill mod, I received the same errors with only 1 function in the stack trace.
ISTakePicture.lua #59

java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: saveToCurrentSavefileDirectory of non-table: null

After disabling all mods, I received the same error as above ^

Would it be better to communicate on Discord?

@Kick Astley: Is it B41 or B42? Do you have other mods enabled?

I love this mod but my game is freezing whenever i take a photo, and I can only take a photo when the camera is in my secondary slot. When I right-clicked to take a photo, my entire screen got super saturated and bright. The game was still running but the display went almost completely white and frozen, no movement on screen at all. Exiting to main menu didn't fix it, only a game restart

why not mp?

Heya, I was working on a mod that has to do with "Undeveloped Film" for b42, especially with the new basements, and the dark rooms etc.

I was wondering about if I could use some snippets from your code. Lemme know if you are cool with it!

really need this for MP

How do I remove the film from disposable cameras? I read the magazine but I couldn't get the film out of it since it wasn't for the disposable camera.

What about digital cameras?

@soulfilcher: What folder are the pictures stored in specifically please?

I THINK it should work if a folder of the same name is made on the servers data folder (or wherever the photos are stored), would it not?

is posible add the films to spawn in gas stations too (would be acurrate)

Love the idea! Not sure if it's operator error, or maybe a mod conflict, but when I do "Take a Picture", the game window freezes. I can still move my character around, open and close the esc menu, zombies will still attack, but I'm just stuck at the frame when I used the option to "Take a Picture".

@soulfilcher oh. Thanks. Im sorry. It seems I was blind while reading the description

@Birget: You need to equip it as secondary item.

Hello! I don't have an option to take a picture. I have a camera with a film inserted in inventory, I right-click in the world but there are no new options in context menu. Tried equipping camera - same result. Tested both Photographer occupation and Unemployed with books and magazine read. The save has only mod options and mod manager enabled, no other mods, debug mode. What I do wrong?

please add trait to start with a camera, so you can roleplay been a photojournalist, great mod

@Murasame: You should find them inside your save folder.

@Canaralho: Should be working, if you still get error messages please send them to me and I will take a look.

@☠RAIDER☠: I have been too busy to work on most of my mods and I have to clear plans for this mod right now, but it isn't abandoned.

sadly don't seem like it.

It's this still being worked on?

Somebody knows if is still working? I tried reveal the photo but it just pop a error in the bottom of the scren

Can I find the captured pictures with local files and where is it?

Can't believe I missed this and I'm definitely going to give it a whirl. Having not yet tried it out and basing this entirely on the description, I have a couple thoughts:

1) Would it be possible to implement blinding zombies with the camera flash? The description implies taking pictures of zombies is "dangerous" but I could actually see it as being the other way around -- zombies who are caught by a camera flash, especially at close range and in darkness, would constantly lose all sight and memory of the player for the duration of a newly added glare effect. Zombies could still attempt to follow sound, and the glare would wear off after a maximum of 15 seconds at point blank in total darkness (prorated if snapped during daylight and at longer ranges). Not sure how easily accessible zombie AI is in the Lua. Could also work against other players, depending on how the Superblindness mod did it.

2) A camera flash that would actually illuminate the environment. It'd be both fascinating and horrifying to "photolocate" by snapping pictures to see the zombies around you in total darkness. Mostly just for immersion, but seems worth the dev time, assuming quick flashes are possible by script. Not sure how MP compatibility would be handled there either.

Does this mod take actual screen shots as well? If not can you implement it? Great Mod Idea! I am already excited to this this one completed and eager to see the next one, if you choose to do more.

@ WWW.cn : I never tested it in multiplayer but since the files are stored in your local save I guess it will not work.

Can I use this in multiplay?

Thanks! Cuz Im currently at the Riverside Canerashop and immediatly thought about this mod

Yes, you can activate it no problem.

Can I activate this mod midrun?

@soulfilcher Thanks I already solved it

Could you please post the error, or maybe link it somewhere I can check it?

366 ERRORS, I don't know whats wrong.

@smiley Face Killer In 1997 there was a 3.5" floppy based camera called the Sony Mavica, wouldn't be too horrible a stretch for that to exist, but frankly it was inferior in every way to an analog camera at the time and stored few pictures per disk if you took them at the best quality it could manage, like 10, heh. That's about as close as you're gonna get to digital cameras lore-friendly unless you play with everything in a different era (some servers/etc. are set later in time).

I'm impressed you found a way to implement this - I mean I can see how it's possible, but very clever! Would love to see MP compatibility (can think of a few ways you could do this), though it'd probably also require some thought to prevent a bunch of users from filling up the hard disk too quickly. xD

Frank West approves

@Smiley Face Killer
its 1992 dawg, who tf had digital then lmao but yeah a separate non lore friendly camera would be neat

if you need getting film there is a photography store around riverside with a shit ton of it on all the selves, i remember its either on the main commercial street or the lil strip mall south west of that closer to the burbs, pretty sure it has a big sign so cant miss it! every shelf has some around and lots of cameras to dismantle for electrical skill

A digital camera would be nice
Like uses batteries and maybe an SD card if you feel so inclined to it.
Make it hard to find for balance reasons if you think so.

Also I haven't found a single thing of film. Like I have several cameras but I can not find a single roll of film to even take pictures

I think my you could make it work by making it an actual map
Like the annotated maps found around the game but that would require an entire rehaul of the photos themselves

@Pickford 'captain' Hailey: I didn't test it in MP, but since image files are stored locally for each player, I expect it to throw errors when trying to inspect pictures.

@Dumb kid: No, I don't know if that is even possible without game engine changes.

You plan on adding the ability to draw or edit images?

now i want someone to recreate the starting secuence of Deadrising

dose this mod work well with multiplayer?

There is a similar mod that requires you to post your screenshot somewhere so that the Steam overlay can show it in game. Here you don't need any of that, all pictures are saved in your save folder.

Didn't a mod just like this come out earlier this month?

cool!!!

Finally my Frank West RP will be complete!

is it reasonable to add a small aiming bonus to the photography skill as you are certainly aiming thru a lens of a camera to an object and with enough time and practice you can track fast objects even if they're small.

Thank you polish stew we both think on the same brain cells a bit

He's covered wars, y'know.
