Description

Want a FUN and REALISTIC zombie outfit distribution mod? This mod is for you!

This mod adds a variety of zones into the game which gives zombies outfits to match their surroundings.
It also adds over 150 custom outfits which are appropriately placed on zombies in the world.

YES The mod is compatible with Build 42!

Goals of this mod:

Add the unused zombie outfits that the Indie Stone developers made
Add iconic George Romero-esque zombie outfits (Zombies hold items in their hands!)
Add appropriate setting and rarity for their clothing and items.

Here are some of the main features of Authentic Z.

Fat Zombies!
Zombies with missing arms and hands!

Adds a new custom costume shop in Louisville. You will find lots of fun clothing and accessories in there.
The Crossroads Mall spawn zombies with random outfits = Random FUN!
The March Ridge Dormitory is rezoned to have unique zombie placement within it.
Ice Cream workers at each Ice Cream shop. Same thing with the new Donut Shops.
Dedicated spawns for Hazmat zombies, Service Uniform zombies, and Ghillie Suit zombies at the Secret Base
The large campgrounds, southwest from Riverside, are rezoned into Friday the 13th's Camp Crystal Lake. Find Jason, before he finds you! Includes other slashers like Michael Myers, Freddy Kreuger, and Leather Face!
Student and Varsity zombies at schools have been fixed to only have realistic hairstyles.
Fisherman and Poncho zombies alongside lakes and rivers (If zombies spawn there)
Hunter Zombies chance at isolated cabins and hunting stands.
Zombified Heroes from all your favorite zombie media
Famous Zombies from the zombie genre
Clown zombies…...Yes…...Clown Zombies
and a nice hit-list with checkboxes so you can log your progress! Great for late-game content!

Future Plans

If you want to keep up to date with the current progress and future plans, check out the official Trello page for the mod! [trello.com]

The 3 Branches - Only use ONE

AuthenticZ - Current has all the features.

AuthenticZLite ONLY has the outfits and zombie spawns. It does NOT have the backpack upgrading system.

AuthenticZBackpacks+ ONLY has the backpack upgrading system.

Common Issues and their fixes

1. "My server won't start" "Normal Termination" etc etc
FIX - Update your copy of AuthenticZ, sometimes Steam doesn't do it correctly. Review Method 2 on updating mods for servers/local servers [theindiestone.com]

2. "I can't upgrade my backpack or use the attachment slots" etc etc
FIX - Make sure you are NOT running multiple branches of AuthenticZ, this is a common issue of doing that. Make sure you have the sufficient materials to upgrade. Secondary bags (small bags that you can not wear on your back) need a carabiner (can be crafted with 5 paperclips) so it can be attached to the "Secondary Bag Slot".

When you report a bug, give me as much info as you can. Such as...
1. What branch of the mod you are running, 2. When does the error happen (so I can replicate it) 3. Any console error reports. For the best convenience and response time, post your error report on my discord channel, linked above.

Also try uninstalling and reinstalling the mod if you suspect that your copy of the mod wasn't updated when one was released recently. Steam sometimes doesn't immediately push updates.

Can i run the Mod without the Map editions? Or are they mandatory for the Item Spaws to properly work?

(2/2) I also have the bandits mod, Vanilla Clothing Expanded & Spongies clothing. I don't believe I have any other mods that would have changed/added to the spawn table of what the zombies might wear

I talked to someone else and they have the same issue and thought it was maybe Bandits but he had Authentic Z too

(1/2) Unsure if this due to AZ but a TON of undercover cops are spawning at newly discovered tiles outside of where I spawned. I am playing the latest version of B42/your mod. Started on August 23rd but that is when I started exploring outside of Rosewood.

For context, I spawned in Rosewood, stayed in and around for the first 20 days probably, then went to base at the Mccoy Estate. After several days I went to Louisville, around the military checkpoint I would say a 2:1 ratio of UC's:regular zombies spawned, then further into the city it was I would say one of every few zombies was an undercover cop. I then went to Muldraugh and sure enough every other group of zombies was the UC's.

However no item that they spawned with was tagged with Authentic Z (shoulder holster, regular holster, rarely an ankle holster, then also one handgun - no ammo unless already loaded in-, a badge, a suit set and most also had tactical walkie talkie).
