Dynamic Body Shape

Description
Dynamic Body Shape [B41 - B42]
WARNING: THIS MOD REQUIRES JAVA MODDING (check instructions below)

Your body is a temple. However, if you don't care for it properly it could have dire consequences.
Sadly, the base game doesn't reflect your condition, and this mod fixes that.

You'll be able to see 5 different physique levels: Emmanciated, Underweight, Default, Fat and Obese, which reflect your character condition dynamically.
You'll also have more muscles based on your character strength and fitness level (while they are Default).

This new version may enable Multiplayer Support for build 41. I haven't tested it yet.

Special Thanks

To Chuck's Modding Community, specially Albion and Sir Doggy Jvla for help with the coding, Nightscale for help with importing the models to blender, Birget for fixing the player models and Armature for Build 42, and VlwsMIR for help compiling the new Java Classes

(I need help of people willing to voice act, check it out for more info)

HOW TO INSTALL

You'll need to open 2 folders: Your project zomboid base game folder, and the workshop mod folder.
You'll see either a zombie folder in the root directory of the workshop mod folder (This is for Build 41), Or a folder named 42 (for Build 42). Inside the folder with the version there'll be the zombie folder with the classes for that version.
Copy the entire zombie folder to the base game folder.

You can also get the zombie folder here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LOM6QYONeE9KfSv1HQN75MNj3qH0GR7B/view?usp=sharing
or
https://mega.nz/file/H24j0YJI#KGSINuikAaA_741ZCIvDF4qLmVPuor8TMTC7ZRH9QQc

You need to make sure the mod is enabled FROM THE MAIN MENU, otherwise the models will not load and the character will dissappear.
If your player does not load, go to the main menu, make sure Dynamic Body Shape is enabled, and restart the game. It should work correctly after that.
(this is because the player mesh models aren't loaded correctly by the game :P, if you write reloadModelsMatching("MaleBody") in the console, you'll realise what I mean)

That's it. I'll leave an instructive video showing the process.

ZOMBIE BODYSHAPE CONTROLS

Now Dynamic Body Shape allows control of the zombies Body Shapes. When Creating a new Sandbox world, You'll have the option to configure the Zombie Bodyshape Distributions. Just set the weights you want, and it should figure out how many of each zombie body shape should appear.
(Zombie corpses may change shape, specially when exiting and entering the game again)

HOW TO UNINSTALL

I made the java modification as unintrusive as possible, but if you want to uninstall the mod for some reason:
Deactivate the mod from the game, then on steam library right click PZ, go to properties, Installed Files and verify integrity of game files.

MODELS

I left a Blend file containing all the models used for the mod (for Male and Female). This is for other modders if you wish to use it as a base for your fat and obese versions, or for any other interested party that wishes to change, fix or rework the models.

COMPATIBILITY

The mod should now be compatible with any mod that changes the player model mesh.

The mod is compatible with clothing mods. However, it is extremely likely that the clothing will clip for Fat and Obese models.
To fix this, it would require an addon for specific clothing mods. It only requires a copy of the clothing Items, with and _Fat and _Obese at the end of the TypeName.

I know that Small Town First Responders ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623855083 ) added support, for instance.

Works with:
+ Simple Character Retexture , By Hea
+ Bandits and Bandits Week One, By Slayer

~ Ellies's Hands and Feet Mod (To Be Tested with new version)

~ Rae's Body Mod (the fat and obese model's work, but the muscular seem to not work, will investigate further)

This looks really interesting, the males look really good (accurate to life) and the obese females look quite pregnant :) Wonder how it works with various clothing mods. Like all of the Frockin' Splendor ones, and of course AuthenticZ

Does anyone know what happened to the mod that fixed the vanilla clothes to work with the fat bodies in this mod? I noticed that the balaclava clips inside the female player's head, even with normal body size, when running this mod. Is there a way to fix this? I can do lua modding but have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to models.

Hey, nevermind. It took 2 hours, but I got it to work. I think it was honestly user error!

Hey, I'm having an issue. Anytime I load into the game (Current B41 Build), my character is invisible with a shadow and I can't move. Also, the character preview in my health panel is invisible as well. I did follow the instructions, copying the zombie folder to the game folder.

There is both a 42 folder and a 42.5 folder. We use 42.9 now. What folder should we copy the zombie folder from?

And you've confirmed that the mod is broken and that it is not a mod conflict? You've tried to load a game solely with just this mod activated and it crashes for you?

Mod is broken, crash all the time for last updates. Need improvements and optimize !

Compatible with retexture mods?

Негативные характеристики, например, ТОЛСТЫЙ влияют только на одежду, а аватар персонажа превращается в лепешку
