Sun Sensitive Zombies

Description
This mod is no longer actively being worked on

Another take on Night/Day zombies! One of my nit picks with the night/day mods I've tried thus far, is the timing of the lore shift from day to night isn't always accurate year-round. Sometimes the zeds will start sprinting hours before or sometimes even hours after it gets dark!

This mod allows you to create differing night and day zombie behaviors that will change based on a brightness level of the sun, that you select!

DISCLAIMER / FYI
Due to recent life stuff my work on this mod will be halted. Not sure when I'll be able to pick it back up. If someone else wants to pick up the slack, feel free.

KNOWN ISSUES
Problem - Setting any of the zombie selections to 'random' will cause them to randomly change states every few seconds.
Why it's happening - The mod works by reading the surrounding zombie's state every few seconds, and making sure their settings are what they should be. So what's happening is the zombies are getting assigned a new, random setting, every update tick.

No timeline on when I'll be able to get out a fix for this, but I'll get it out as soon as I'm able!

This is my first mod so please let me know if you come across any bugs or issues and I'll look into it and see what I can do.

BIG shoutout to @The Illuminati, creator of Night Sprinters [41.60+] (link below), for letting me use their mod as a starting/reference point!

Currently untested in multiplayer, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, so please do let me know if there are any issues there as well.

Check out my other mod here!

we've been using this mod a long time but it seems like them in multiplayer is erratic enough we might switch mods or go to full sprinters. For some clients they shamble when they shouldn't, especially if the clients are far away from one another, and they'll randomly switch to sprinting without warning, or some groups are shambling and another group will be sprinting

is there an updated version of this mod anywhere or another mod that does the same thing and works in multiplayer?

Unfortunately this mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. It does literally nothing now. Sad times. :<

by default... approximately what time do they change mode?

This mod doesn't seem to work? I want day time sprinters so I set the day time zombie speed to "sprinters" and night time zombie speed to "shamblers", didn't touch the normal zombie lore, then started the game at 9PM. Zombies still chase after me at full speed though they should be shamblers at this hour. Am I missing something?

yeah so can anyone tell me when it says "sun brightness cutoff" can anyone tell me the number to change so when it is day the zombies immadily go inside
