@Kelindel thanks a lot for your feedback. I am waiting the release of the B42 to resume working on this mod, extending with all the changes proposed in the comments.

an almost perfect mod. so insane to me that no one else has made this. it NEEDS to work on random to be complete. forced fast shamblers as default is too restrictive, i enjoy the full variety

@и∀! // Reading Rambo , double check. Maybe the mod is installed but not active.

Mod is installed but when setting up a solo or as a host the "Random spinster Options" does not appear

actually your mod works for slow shamblers aswell, and your welcome for the idea, keep up the great work

Hello @SilverVixen , unfortunately the mod only works with the default speed set to "fast shamblers". Yours is a great idea though, I will take it into consideration for the next update. Thanks!

quick question, if you set the zombie speed to random will the game use this mod's settings to determine what percent of the zombies will be sprinters or will it use the base game's systems? asking as i wanna try mainly shamblers and fast shambers but with around 10% of sprinters

Hello @SilverVixen, 0 means no extra health, while a value of 1 means that 1 is added to the default zombie health. It doesn't mean double health.

Hello @goccupcake, I think there is something wrong with your server. We've used this mod for years on our server. Never had the issue you are describing.

downloaded the mod and it wont work in my server. i want 100 perrcent sprinting zombies and everytime i change it and load the server theres not a single sprinter and when i back out and edit the settings its changed back to 10

hey for where it says extra health min and max for min does 0.0 mean no extra health and 1.0 means double health?

Fantastic mod! Thanks so much <3

Hello @spoonman! I am glad you love this mod, can't wait to extend with more features, waiting for the B42 to be out. Stay tuned! Regarding your question, "rate" should be read as "probablity". So, 10, means that there will be a probability of 10% that a zombie will turn into a sprinter. That said, if you are unlucky, 10% can translate to all zombies nearby to turn into sprinter. So, it's like a throw of dice. Good luck! I guess that if you want to have a relaxed experience, I would suggest to go with 5 or 10. If you like the challenge, consider 15 or higher.

Hey, I love this mod and appreciate the work you put into it. One small question: can you tell me exactly what the "rate" is means? if the default is 10, does that mean 10 out of every 100 zombies would be sprinters? I'm just trying to fine tune the spawn rate for a specific run I'm doing -- thanks!

Hello @gramaha, I am glad you are liking it. Yes, it has been asked before, and unfortunately it is not possible at the moment to have sprinters appearing only at night Sorry for that. I'd like to add this possibility soon or later, but at the moment I am not working on further updates for this mod.

Im liking the mod a lot and its configuration posibilites but I'm having trouble setting the sprinters to only appear at night. I set the Day starting hour to 23 and Night starting hour to 23 aswell but they are still appearing at night. Any help would be appreciated, sorry if this has been asked before, couldnt find anything about it. Thanks and again, nice mod :)

@vsnegupal sure! No need to give credits, or other stuff. Take the code and enjoy!

Can I reuse a bit of code from this mod, please?

there are no sprinters spawning in my server. Why could that be?

Hello @Arlocke. Yes, you are correct, the temperature is expressed in Celsius.

Is the temperature range in Farenheit or Celsius? I am assuming Celsius given the base numbers of 0-30, but want to ask to make sure.

@30SilverCoins Awesome!

@EasyPeasyViking I tested it and as long as the activity is set to default, it's perfectly fine! Thanks a bunch!

Hello @30SilverCoins, I never tested with Bandits. But I guess it should work. It works well together with Slower Sprinters, yes! Day/Night should be left as default. This mod does not support the night only mode unfortunately. I didn't have time to add this feature, sorry.

Hello! Does this work with Bandits as well as Slower Sprinters? Also, does having Day/Night activity set to Night affect if they will run or no?

@forever not sure how are you trying to setup your server, but if you are trying to host a game, remember the mod needs to be enabled from the main workshop item menu' first. Only after that you will see the sandbox configs. This is a common behavior with other mods too.

No sandbox configs, even after restart the server 3 times, and half of my zombies are sprinters, i have no other mod that change zombies

@⛟ only after the first restart of the server the sandbox vars of the mods will appear as part of the sandbox vars file of the server.

Hey there, no matter what I do, I cant get this mod to show up in the sandboxvars for my server. I dont have any other mods that change zombie behavior.

didn't get any sprinter, do i need another configuration?

OH, that makes sense! I had night activity enabled. With this mod enabled, though, my zombie speed always resets to Fast Shamblers. I'll test and confirm. Thanks for the input.

@Spodey, or maybe you have settings like zombies are inactive at night time. You should share your zombie settings also.

@Spodey, this means the zombie default speed is not shamblers in your case maybe.

OK, I'll record some footage for you tomorrow. You can see the output log spamming with this mod's log, setting the speed of all the already-spawned zombies to 2 over and over again. Another commenter mentions it below. Makes the game unplayable near big crowds, and causes a constant heartbeat-like stuttering, at least on my end. That's running on its own, as well, it's not a conflict.

@Spodey not sure what you are talking about. This mod has been in use and in actiive development since years now, and it is still actively used on our server. 200 zombies, 300 zombies, 400 zombies, never had the issue you are mentioning. Also, the code is highly optmized to avoid any unnecessary computation. Maybe you have some other mods that is in conflict with the mod (mos probably some other mod that touches zombies config).

This mod absolutely *hoses* performance near zombies. You can easily test in debug mod. Right click, main, horde manager, spawn in, say, 175 zombies. The game will just start locking up and stuttering. The more zombies the worse it gets. Disable the mod and I can run 200 zombies at 60fps

this mod worked after being added to a 4 month old save with 81 other mods :)

it also works with slower sprinters mod ;)

ty

@VibesRes: That's not possible. Please double check your Sandbox vars and make sure you do not have any other mods enabled that alter the zombies configuration.

I am having an issue where I added the mod to a new server, set value to 100, and it just keeps reverting back to ten everytime I load the server. Anybody else had this?

@Lucsdo: You have to manually edit the sandbox configuration file.

How can I configure the options on a dedicated server?

@The_Undula: Probably you switched the settings after it was already set to a certain value. Once the zombie changes its speed, it cannot be reverted to fast shamblers. That's probably what happened.

BUG: I have had some sprinters spawn when probability was set at zero. It was extremely rare (literally 2 zombies in the entire ohio mall) but it did occur. Thought this bug was worth raising.

@qertyipl This mod is not compatible with other mods that changes zombie configuration

@KrFisH This will be probably possible with a future update of the mod.

You can use the night sprinters mod.

I would like the zombies to run at night and normally during the day, but I didn't find this option (there is only the opposite option, to be inactive during the night). It remains as a suggestion.

@Azure Moonlight, Vanilla settings needs to be set to "both". Zombies should be active day and night.

I had the same issue happen when I enabled the vanilla settings for day activity only. I think the scripts start competing until the CPU is tied up on nothing but speed scripts.

Yeah I'm still researching it. Love this mod though!

@Vek Graylax never had the issue you are talking about. Make sure you don't have other mods that changes zombies settings. This mod is not compatible with other mod that touches zombies.
