A advanced zombie mod 2

Description
EDIT:
Please try this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2896255721
The zombie fix mod should help with multiplayer bugs (from vanilla game)


Bugged in multiplayer (better to avoid using in multiplayer)
There are multiple people who get a bug where sometimes zombies disappear in multiplayer.
I can't replicate this bug and can't find a reason why it happens or a way to fix it.
If I find a way to fix it, I'll fix it!!

Small update 14 Sept 2022
+ Added a (sandbox) option to enable sprinter behavior for faster zombies
+ Added an optional mod for EVEN faster zombies
+ Add description about multiplayer bug

Small update 11 June 2022
+ Small fix to solve some desync issues with zombies

V2!
When adding options, I changed some mechanics and this version is will NOT provide the same experience as the Advanced Zombie mod 1
A Advanced zombie mod 1 does not have any major bugs and works, it won't be updated, because some players might want to keep playing with that.

V2!
+ Added options
+ Added multiple speed levels (option mods)
+ Added easy compatability patching for other mods (comp mod, make a copy of this)
+ Reduced network traffic
+ Added a faster processing mode (now default) to reduce zombie skin pop-in
+ Fixed small miss-calculations on zombie STR and SPD evaluation
* Multiplayer tested: "Works on my machineâ„¢" guarantee (BEWARE: some users reported bugs of zombies disappearing)


The required zombie settings: You must choose FAST SHAMBLERS!
Compatability: Does not work with any other zombies speed or health related mods.
Compatability: This will NOT work with A Advanced Zombie mod 1 or A harder zombie mod. This is the newest, best version of the "mod series"

A Advanced zombie mod 2. 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.

Recommended settings:
I enjoy playing with the default settings and "Z speed OPTION 2 A LIL FASTER" to make the zombies even faster.
You don't need to change any settings, the defaults are fairly well balanced, keeping zombies harder in cities and keeping the special zombies, such as police and army harder as well, with a little bit of variation in zombie speed.

Changing settings:
I tried to add reasonable tooltips for the settings, any questions about the settings? Ask in the discussions for this workshop item.


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 advanced zombie mod was really that good, then why don't they make advanced zombie mod 2?

Interesting.
You could try restarting after changing settings.
Is this with any other mods?

Setting Location weight to zero seems to not work for me, as well as setting SPD reduction min and SPD reduction max. I am trying to just have zombie power (police/millitary etc) zombies be tankier and faster, but whatever settings I change fast zombies have 1.0 hp and regular zombies in cities have 10x or more hp.

I tried in debug mode using sandbox settings mid game and horde manager to spawn new zombies to test on.

Makes sense, and totally understandable. Thanks for the reply. Cheers!

Waiting for multiplayer to update mods.
It's easier to work on it all at once for me, as multiplayer is integral to this mod.
Tried it a bit with some mods to start with SP, then do MP, but it's smoother to start with MP for me.


Feel free to reupload a quick fix for b42 currently, just link it here so others can find it too.
But sadly I can't help right now.

It would be great if this got an update for b42! Cheers mate.

Think this will work build 42?

I didn't realize the boomer generation was even aware of this game... I can't see a 70 year old playing this game. Hysterical to see though.
Tregedy 20 Jul, 2024 @ 8:12am 
so basically the poster was to troll boomers. based lmao

Mod name starts with A because I made too many mods and I couldn't find them all in the list of 300 mods.

Yes, this is the most advanced tool.
The anime is because lots of booomers play this game and it's funny when they get angry at anime.

I never have and don't watch anime, that stuff is boring. I watch it's always sunny in philidelphia
