A advanced zombie mod 1

Description
If advanced zombie mod was really that good, then why don't they make advanced zombie mod 2?
Well... they MADE ADV ZMB MOD 2!!!!
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2801061750


This version is kept because it has a slightly different experience than the V2.
This version will not change or get options. The version with options is posted above.


V1
The required zombie settings: You must choose FAST SHAMBLERS!
Compatability: Does not work with any other zombies speed or health related mods.

A Advanced zombie mod. Adds faster and tougher zombies! Zombie toughness and speed is based on the zombie type and the location of the zombie (with a little bit of RNG).
The zombies are now more varied and the player has to observe the enemy before getting into a fight

The zombies which were more physically active in their past lives (sport, military, police etc.) will be tougher and faster.
Based on the location, zombies are also faster and tougher, as the zombies in crowded areas and towns got to eat more and are stronger.

Faster Zombies
Faster Zombies are slightly faster than fast shamblers and can catch up with a walking player character. There are 5 speed variations.
Faster zombies can be identified by how fast their animations are.


Tougher Zombies
Tougher zombies are zombies with more health. They will be up to 20x stronger than normal zombies. There are 14 toughness variations.
Tougher zombies can be identified by the zombie skin, the tougher the zombie, the darker the skin.


The player could always outwalk the fast shamblers zombies in the normal game, but the sprinters were too annyoing. This adds more dynamics to zombies and makes fighting big groups harder. This also makes zombies in certain areas harder, providing the player with a dynamic range of zombie difficulity, that the player can evaluate during gameplay without on-screen texts (such as levels over zombie heads)

If you narrow your eyes it's almost like there's something written on those images on the description...

@nigel i think its a great idea, it was also really amusing to me haha

Yes, that's seems to be the only way to communicate to the player how strong a zombie is without ui elements such as LVLs or health bars, which break immersion.

I also tried changing the clothes, which is not possible and chaniging the size and width, which is also not possible.
I experimented with beards and hair, but these were too minimal to notice at a glance.

It's an engine limitation.
