The Calm Before The Storm

Description
UPDATED TO BUILD 42

This mod adds an event that takes some inspiration from the "You Have One Day" challenge. Zombies migrate away from the player and form massive hordes, which, after a certain period of time, return to hunt the player. This mod is intended to work in both singleplayer and multiplayer (albeit limited). This will work on both new and existing saves.



The event cycles through three phases:

  • The Cooldown Phase - The time between events. Gameplay is normal and zombies will behave as usual.

  • The 'Calm' Phase - The period in which mass zombie migration occurs. Towns and cities will seem deserted and eerily quiet. This gives players the opportunity to scavenge and build defences before the inevitable horde arrives.

  • The 'Storm' Phase - Zombies return in massive hordes and persistently hunt down the player(s). Zombies are, by default, always aware of the player's position, which can be changed in the sandbox menu. Players will be notified of the start of the storm phase by the sound of wind and distant zombie noises.

Note that unlike mods such as Horde Night and Here They Come, this does not spawn any zombies, but rather moves the existing ones in the world to form hordes.



The mod is very customizable through the custom sandbox menu and allows you to adjust the duration of each phase, as well as the radius and distance of the horde.

@socialtroglodyte I think there is something wrong with this mod. I just set the Cooldown phase to 720 and leave everything else as is, but nothing happens. Even if I restart my save, can you check this for me?

@GoofBall: You change their homing offset. By default, it's set to 0, meaning they'll home in on you. If you set it to 150, they will roam an entire cell away from you.

How do i tweak the config so that hordes can form in the world but not home in on a player? I am trying to create a threat of random hordes just shambling around the world on our server instead of them always knowing your location and beelining towards you.
