there is literally no hope

No, there are no changes to aggro mechanics

does this mod change AI aggro mechanic? I just fought one zombie with a metal pipe and every zeds within a mile was coming after me.

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

@Blastmetal

Tough neighbourhoods make the strongest zombies

`so the darker the skin the tougher they are
thats kinda sus not gonna lie

I'm using this and Dangerous Zombies, zombies are a threat now sometimes I need to retreat when I fight a small groups of zombies.
Nice mod

@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.

"Tougher zombies can be identified by the zombie skin, the tougher the zombie, the darker the skin." Uh... lol

it will NOT work with customizable zombies

Does it work with customizable zombies? I know that it says not compatible with zombie speed mods but it doesnt change the speed of the zombies, just type i think?

in mp can setting?

Right off the bat this reminds me of Battletoads. Watch out for those darker enemies!

when was that added? ive been out of the loop for awhile

No, that's a vanilla feature.
When a zombie attempts to grab a player character but misses,
the player character will be slowed down for a quick moment.

does this add slowdown when you're near a zombie? I've had this happen a couple times now and its made dealing with just one zombie a huge chore...

Sounds awesome, thanks! :)

Gonna install this mod! Hoping to have my friends die in large horde. :>

I'm glad you had a blast!

Yes, I am planning on adding options soon in v2

Hey, just wanted to say that I refreshed my dedicated server with this mod today and it's been an absolute blast. This has completely revitalized the zombies for my friend and I. That being said, I would love to see some mod options at some point so that we can tweak the zombies even further. Do you think there's any chance of some mod options being added?

Yes this is safe to add mid save.
I assume this is more dynamic than CDDA, I have never used it, but I assume it's just different.

It is error free, yes. If you see any errors let me know.
I've been using this mod in a couple of play throughs and it's been working fine, both single player and multiplayer.

There is a "bug" right now that the zombies might take around fraction of a second or so to init and sync. It's done to reduce load.

Right now I'm hoping thee will be some bug reports or feedback, so I can consider that when I update this some time next week.

is it safe to add mid-save? i host coop server and I want to change from CDDA Zombies to this. Is this any better or error-free most of the time?

Excited to try this! But I have to ask: Who's the artist that made the thumbnail artwork of this mod? I really really REALLY love it, and I would love to have it as a wallpaper and share it with literally every human I've ever met

Yes, they seemed to sync just fine on my test.
Check out the new screenshots.

You can tell if they are syncing fine by checking high level enemies, such as firemen, police and army, when they syncronize their skin changes.

The current version is made to save performance and because the only way I could check the zombie type was to wait until they have an outfit on them, however due to resource saving, the game only gives the outfit to the zombies when the player can see (render) the zombies.
Because of this you will see the zombies sync-up live.

There is a sync delay and also a problem with the game handling zombie onlineIDs, that I cannot reproduce, but it happend to me during earlier versions of testing.

Does this work in multiplayer or does it suffer desync like most zombie altering mods?
