The character on my playthrough entering a state of max panic when seeing one of the bugged out, texture-warped floaters is both hilarious and endearing. A couple I've managed to shoot down but I'm not taking any chances with melee....

So i figured out that this mod somehow glitches and never lets a body stay still long enough to register as "dead". so when you reload the game, the game will just assume they were alive and boom they're alive again. its very strange.

I think I crashed after killing a Bandit from Bandits mod with a melee weapon

目前发现的一个问题,部分僵尸被杀死后走过去无法拾取僵尸的物品,当重新载入游戏时,被杀死的僵尸会复活,使用枪械击杀僵尸,会提高这个bug的概率

Oh my god, these zombies are flying everywhere. Let's wait and see for this mod for now:steamfacepalm:
Pooron 12 Jul @ 10:40am 
all of my zomboids are flying all over the place

+1 to the previous comment, zombies seem to bug and start floating and glitching all over the place

I don't know if it's the mod or because ragdolling in the game is still a wip, but I will occasionally see zombies flailing, flopping, and glitching all over the place. As hilarious and harmless as it is, I figured I'd comment about it just in case it is a bug with the mod

Can you make this work for players too when they get killed by zombies?
update when friend?
Explorer 1 Jul @ 1:28pm 
I don't exactly know why it happens, but with this mod enabled there are quite a few zombies that starts flying around... while funny it's quite worrying to see flying zombies
SandStorm 30 Jun @ 10:04pm 
i installed the mod but it doesn't show up the mods menu any help ?

[SOLVED] the issue with the ragdoll freezing after melee death happend when this mod is active, but the ragdoll is off in the config guys
Vulpsune 22 Jun @ 6:34pm 
for those having issues make sure to go into your mod list and let it auto sort your mods.
Left_sZ 22 Jun @ 11:28am 
somehow a friend of mine got this bug with the mod, where the zed after death, just freezes and doesnt activate the ragdoll https://www.twitch.tv/guga_p3nn4/clip/AbnegateBlushingVelociraptorPogChamp-DkpN9uNIB-uH5LC9

im having a similar issue when zombies die from another mod's effects. the mod makes it so that when they attack something that isnt the player(a fence, a car, a door, etc.), they take damage. if that damage kills them, the zombies ragdoll but arent actually dead. im betting its the same type of issue.

@Tevin
It is because my script doesn't handle zombie deaths by fire even though they enter ragdoll when dead. I'm looking into it :steamthumbsup:
Tevin 19 Jun @ 3:43am 
I am having the same issue with Nuwave042, don't really know what is causing this.
typoma  [author] 19 Jun @ 2:42am 
Mod should work with 42.9.
Федя пластилин 18 Jun @ 4:34pm 
у меня эффект "ragdoll" срабатывает только после того, как я атакую врага со спины, но при лобовом столкновении, у зомби отсутствует этот эффект
Dakao 18 Jun @ 1:38pm 
This mod dont work after 42.9 need update fix
Nuwave042 16 Jun @ 3:12am 
I don't know whether it's this mod directly causing it, but I've noticed when clearing an area with fire, dead zomboids are stuck in ragdoll mode (they don't "set" and become lootable, if you know what I mean) and burn infinitely. Leaving the cell and returning to the area later, the zombies are alive again. My assumption is that this mod is having some sort of unfavourable interaction, since without the mod I think burning zomboids wouldn't ragdoll. I could be wrong though. Great mod, otherwise!
kArMaFPS 14 Jun @ 5:41pm 
this mod dont work fine after 42.9 i think...several errors and visual glitches, verify to update.
-002- ゼロツー -002- 14 Jun @ 10:49am 
Only working in some occasions after the update, any ideas whats wrong?
ezeepeezee 13 Jun @ 6:22pm 
Nevermind, works now. Dunno why. Sorry for the false(?) report.
ezeepeezee 11 Jun @ 8:39pm 
Doesn't work for me on 42.9.0
Legend_Larry 11 Jun @ 1:36am 
my Zombies getting healed after the second hit!!!
SULEK 10 Jun @ 8:09pm 
Works fine! I already tested

@pynoTTV
I haven't had time to test yet, been busy with work and irl stuff. I try to look at it tomorrow. Thanks for chiming in!
pynoTTV 10 Jun @ 7:57am 
broken after last update?
Illtor 8 Jun @ 3:05pm 
Thank you for the June Update.

@Sanchez616 @suryaadika
Thank you for feedback but there isn't much I can do to fix ragdoll behaviour since modding it is quite limited at the moment. Modders can only change hitreaction values which only apply to guns at the moment. If there is bugs with ragdoll behaviour it is because the feature is unfinished and the developers of the game are still working on it.
suryaadika 7 Jun @ 7:40pm 
@sanchez616
i have this problem too, zombie flying around after killed by hitting barricade (i use mod barricade hurt zombie), but after i reload save, the zombie alive again and not flying arround. Hope it can help author to solved the problem
Sanchez616 5 Jun @ 12:34pm 
I don't know what this is connected with, but my zombies just fly or get stuck in the ground, and they fly in the sense that they are thrown from side to side in the air (not all, but somewhere around 2-3 out of 10). I have a bunch of mods installed. But when I disable this one, everything becomes normal. Maybe a conflict, or maybe a problem with the mod itself, since it doesn't show errors. But the mod itself is very cool, I played with it for several hours, I'll wait for the problem to be solved

@rifties
No need to be sorry! Thank you for commenting and giving feedback. It is very much appreciated :)
rifties 3 Jun @ 12:53pm 
I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful with that unlootable problem typoma. I really don't think it was an issue your mod was causing, but the game itself. I appreciate your efforts! Sometime you just gotta "sweep it under the rug" :D
typoma  [author] 3 Jun @ 9:45am 
@Gwynbleidd
No problem! :steamthumbsup:
Gwynbleidd 3 Jun @ 9:42am 
@typoma I'm sorry. I did not read that on the description and went on downloading it.
I'll let this one pass, I'm playing multiplayer with friends and it is not possbile yet on that build.
Thank you very much for answering
typoma  [author] 3 Jun @ 9:00am 
@Gwynbleidd
Make sure you are on unstable branch, this mod only works for B42 version of the game.
Gwynbleidd 3 Jun @ 7:29am 
Hey there. I just suscribed and I can't get the mod to work. I thought by suscribing it automatically downloaded and put the mod in the "mods" folder. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, and thanks for making this!
typoma  [author] 3 Jun @ 6:11am 
The script is updated to handle corpse transitions for shot zombies. Ideally it would be preferable to get the root cause why the game doesn't handle shot zombies itself (most likely conflict with some other mod). This is more like sweeping the problem under the rug :D
typoma  [author] 3 Jun @ 2:29am 
@rifties
I can update my script to handle zombie deaths from gunshots, but the game should already do that without my mod.
rifties 2 Jun @ 11:40pm 
Im having the same issue as @821280614
821280614 2 Jun @ 7:01am 
Maybe it's a mod conflict. Thanks anyway.
typoma  [author] 2 Jun @ 6:48am 
@821280614
Okay, thats weird. I tested and shot zombies are lootable for me. But I only use vanilla guns, do you have some gun mods which might not work with ragdolls?

The game should take care of zombies killed by guns and vehicles now, my mod only handles zombies killed by melee.
821280614 2 Jun @ 6:23am 
I'm sure the zombies have been killed, but this didn't happen in the previous version
typoma  [author] 2 Jun @ 6:08am 
@821280614
Do you mean you cannot loot? There is a bug with ragdolls, sometimes the zombies fall but are still alive and don't get up. You have to finish them to get the loot.
typoma  [author] 2 Jun @ 6:07am 
@SIMBAproduz
Thank you for the kind words! Try to do my best and learn as I go. This is my first mod so I don't have much experience.
821280614 2 Jun @ 1:38am 
The zombies that were shot cannot retrieve their bodies
SIMBAproduz 1 Jun @ 2:10pm 
It's genuinely remarkable that you're interested in making yourself present so that this mod represents the will of the community 🌱 long live your intentions, ma friend
