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

These are the end times
Andreita3000 27 Apr, 2023 @ 10:24am 
actually makes the game funnier
La__fonzi 26 Apr, 2023 @ 2:45pm 
is there an updated version of this mod anywhere or another mod that does the same thing and works in multiplayer?
RdesignedTobias 25 Mar, 2023 @ 6:58am 
Unfortunately this mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. It does literally nothing now. Sad times. :<
Johnny Blue 2 Feb, 2023 @ 8:02am 
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

@Goonter Unfortunately that mod no longer works and hasn't been updated in a while
severederealization 27 Dec, 2022 @ 10:37am 
The person under me is talking about minecraft zombies lol

"-Option for zombies to seek shelter during the day"

Use the 'Zombies Fear the Sun' mod. it does just that.
umrylmz 23 Dec, 2022 @ 3:31pm 
Is this working?
Arcturus 22 Dec, 2022 @ 1:42pm 
Sounds awesome would love to see this work
Dasheroo 4 Dec, 2022 @ 11:06am 
was kind of hoping sun sensitive zombies meant more of the "I am legend" zombies where they all group up in dark places and lay traps and shit
sideguy 1 Dec, 2022 @ 10:59am 
For some reason the mod doesn't work for me, I try setting them to two different zombie types but the zombies only keep the day setting. I don't know what I'm doing incorrectly.
SmellyFishNuggets 21 Nov, 2022 @ 7:57pm 
how do i go to the section to change the zombies on solo mode
Alkanshel 13 Nov, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
-Option for zombies to seek shelter during the day

I can't wait for this feature. Sounds fun!
Kyo 10 Nov, 2022 @ 5:02am 
Hello guys, can't figure out how to make the mod work. itis installed but I cannot find it in the sandox options. Any help?
pointblank98 19 Oct, 2022 @ 9:48pm 
@Ximan-Poo They're not implemented yet, it's a planned feature.

They don't seek shelter
Trombonaught 17 Oct, 2022 @ 4:21pm 
For anyone saying the mod didn't work, make sure you enable the mod from your main mods screen as well as add it to your server. If you don't see "Sun Sensitive Zombies" near the bottom of your sandbox options, you haven't enabled it in your main mods area yet and it will not work. When you enable it, everything seems works fine (I've been testing zed speed, hearing, and cognition/smarts).
??? 16 Oct, 2022 @ 11:56pm 
This mod is cool, but night sprinters is better only because this mod have no accurate time setting. Im also waiting for new functional, to make zombies seek for shelter
Trombonaught 16 Oct, 2022 @ 1:36pm 
Hey about your break from this mod, would you mind if I uploaded a version that had an option to disable the change in zombie speed? I'm wanting to run your mod for lore but random zombies for speed. Let me know if you have any problem with that and I can take it down and/or pass you the modified files to add here.

Since I'm imagining you won't be checking here regularly I'm thinking I'll go ahead with it, but I'll take it down straight away if you have any reservations about it.

Would you be willing to share the code repo for this? Id love to help improve on this mod. Not gonna steal it or anything, just do Pull requests and stuff.

I am a software engineer and done some modding before for Arma
Mousegerwitz 26 Sep, 2022 @ 3:43pm 
Will this conflict with 'CDDA Zombies' mod?
Gedget 25 Sep, 2022 @ 1:57pm 
It currently doesn't work. I hope you make an update as this is an interesting mod. Thanks =)

I would like an update on this! It's amazing
the good bro 18 Sep, 2022 @ 8:05pm 
I'd really love to see zombies that try to go indoors during rain!
The_Silver_Nuke 17 Sep, 2022 @ 5:33pm 
Also this doesn't seem to work after doing some testing. It doesn't change the zombies from sprinters to fast shamblers as the night turns to day.
The_Silver_Nuke 17 Sep, 2022 @ 2:29pm 
For the multiplayer settings how can we customize it for the server? I'd like to tweak the zombie settings if possible...
15 Sep, 2022 @ 12:30pm 
This is exactly what's needed for a comprehensive The Kingdom style zombie playthrough, however having it update every few seconds is a price to pay in fps for accuracy.

Can you make a patch for the darkness is coming? This is an amazing mod and it seems to mess with their speeds because they both update zombie lore :(
Catrider 13 Sep, 2022 @ 1:12am 
Dear Modder, I like the way you think, when you relate day/night with sun brightness. It was thrilling in general. What I also experience is sometimes it gets dark in the morning as well, that causes “night” mode on. Thank you in general.
MobileSuitCleb 11 Sep, 2022 @ 5:54am 
This is probably a long shot but do you think it would be possible to create a setting that would allow zombies to become sprinters and use their night lore settings when theyre in rooms without windows, like hallways or some stores inside the mall for example
MobileSuitCleb 11 Sep, 2022 @ 5:52am 
@Jaxx it literally says not to do this in the mod description lmao
Yo Homie 9 Sep, 2022 @ 11:21am 
Great job
Jaxx - pshoooo 8 Sep, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
for anyone unaware, using this with Randomized Zombies tends to fuck up their AI and behavior IE they have almost infinite vision at random and will start/stop being sprinters at random if the settings conflict. do not recommend.
Kras 3 Sep, 2022 @ 2:19pm 
Will fog affect zombies or just cloudines/rain and time of day?
Chill 30 Aug, 2022 @ 1:13am 
For sun strength cutoff, 'the LOWER the value you input' = 'the MORE darkness it takes to shift zombies into NIGHT mode.' Default=0.73 so anything less than that would make them sprint only at the darkest times. If you want the zombies to change into night zombies earlier such as at dusk and only revert at noon the next day I recommend a value of 0.80. For less night zombies do 0.55
markogrepl 26 Aug, 2022 @ 8:37am 
I cant find the settings in sandbox settings when hosting a server
Nin 24 Aug, 2022 @ 4:52pm 
Does this work with Customizable zombies?
FeralFerret 24 Aug, 2022 @ 9:04am 
This seems to work in my MP game, however I am not able to see the settings in the options menu (they default to sprinting at night it seems). I have tried unsubbing and resubbing as well as just clearing out the mod's files and allowing them to redownload.
Urso 24 Aug, 2022 @ 8:46am 
Not working in MP. Doesn't give me an error or anything, just doesnt work.
Blahaj Gaming 23 Aug, 2022 @ 9:43pm 
cool
TheBigChills1626 23 Aug, 2022 @ 7:04pm 
is it stable?
also does it work with night sprinters
Nörr 22 Aug, 2022 @ 6:38am 
I agree with below, zombies wandering inside would be a really cool idea
IRISe_s 21 Aug, 2022 @ 1:14pm 
bump on @Fattyryan45 . Would love to see a option for zombies to see indoor-shelter during the day. or just overall refusal to go into the light.
