I appreciate the testing. Lemme know.

How it works is that it scans for windows and then finds an adjacent (marked internal/room) spot in one of the cardinal directions and then lures zombies there.

Mind-you it has been 10 years since I made this so I might be misremembering.

hmmm... I think I might see it now, its alittle odd with modded buildings but it does seem that they attempt to come closer and sometimes inside during rain, although it seems like they sometimes also just leave. ill try it on a normal map in a moment

Hey, I was testing the mod on B41 and it didnt seem to be working? the comments seem to be really mixed as well, let me do some more testing and ill get back with you.
Viceroy  [author] 30 Jun @ 11:08am 
Yo guys, this not working anymore? 'cause last time I tested it dit work. Though I haven't zomboided in quite a few months.

@Finite - What versions of this mod did you have in mind?

Also, the mod doesn't spawn zombies. It just attracts zombies to buildings. It uses the base spawning/population system of PZ. It essentially just creates fake 'noise' inside buildings to attract zombies (when it is raining)

Sad that there hasnt been any other versions of this mod made in the big 2025.

no longer works
FoolishFool420 12 Aug, 2023 @ 12:07am 
don't work for me unfortunately
BONANGER1 8 Aug, 2023 @ 4:07pm 
seems to work, not sure how but i only find zombies in buildings when it's raining. get a perpetual precipitation rain mod and check it out. streets will be usually very empty if you have a high population setting. it almost seems to spawn zombies only inside the buildings, but rarely they also spawn outside. at least that's what i experienced, unless it actually moves the zombies around

this is a weird one sometimes it will work other times it wont unless its only during storms and not light rain?

@Spite does it still work with multiplayer as well?
Spite 7 Apr, 2023 @ 7:20am 
Still works surprisingly!

Alcoholic Beezlebub 31 Jul, 2022 @ 11:51am

Very cool.

Really good mod, but ALL the houses will have no in-tact doors or windows after the first time it rains, adds to the challenge for sure, but perhaps only zombies REALLY close to the house should be attracted?
Zombie_W33D 19 Jun, 2022 @ 10:55am 
YAAAS love it :D
sourskittlezzz 18 Jun, 2022 @ 4:28pm 
I mean, it makes sense. Rain would only speed up their decay.
Ashardalon125 27 Apr, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
Little bit of advice for anyone playing with this: It definitely drives the zombies to destroy more than they usually do. Playing MP with a friend, and every time it rains, a zombie tries to break into our house through a window, or we come across houses with broken down doors or windows.

Drago Duval 24 Jan, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
Also amazing mod, ill go try it right now !!
Drago Duval 24 Jan, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
@Viceroy Oooo i llove the idea of them hiding during the day, just like Dying Light and the Hungering.
Skiff 23 Jan, 2022 @ 11:50am 
i'm just waiting like a child in front of a candy store my good sire can't wait to do my sunken world run rain 100% of the time with your mod will be hell for me can't wait for the update
Viceroy  [author] 19 Jan, 2022 @ 8:46am 
Thanks dudes!

@Malkavian407[RU], I actually have a prototype of just that. (And an inverted Day version)
Malkavian407[RU] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 9:44am 
This is a very interesting idea. I would like to see similar effects for night time (night, it's time to go into the house).
Dexter 12 Jan, 2022 @ 8:16am 
I will be waiting for the update, thanks Viceroy.
Boog 9 Jan, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
can not wait for this mod
Viceroy  [author] 5 Jan, 2022 @ 4:34pm 
I have yet to thoroughly run through the mod and test everything (busy on the Immersive Overlays for a bit). So I'd say keep this disabled for now and I will get it 100% working.

It is gonna be savegame compatible to add midgame anyway as it doesn't save anything persistently, just monitors for rain and then attracts zombies to nearby buildings.

Altering zombie detection should be possible if I recall, but I'd have to take a look at that system again. Get back up to scratch with PZ code..
white 5 Jan, 2022 @ 8:43am 
is it just me or did my rain completly stop working lol
Death Classic 3 Jan, 2022 @ 11:40pm 
What about zombies detection being severely reduced during the rain? Wouldn't it make sense that if its raining you should be able to move easier because zombies can't hear you over the rain?
Viceroy  [author] 3 Jan, 2022 @ 7:55am 
Yo guys, I am back! I will be fixing up all my shit soon.
Kat 27 Oct, 2021 @ 1:37pm 
Does it work with snow?
Hiro78 19 Sep, 2021 @ 7:48pm 
does this work with the current updates?
xXchirli87Xx 7 May, 2021 @ 6:41am 
for b41.50?
infiniteclone7 31 Mar, 2021 @ 4:10pm 
*laughs in outdoorsman*
Taiga 28 Mar, 2021 @ 4:50am 
That also means you can wait for it to rain, and then roam freely outside.
aquelarrefox 28 Jan, 2021 @ 6:04am 
@planetalgol changing that lines only?
