Day/Night Active Help/Fix

[RiP candyland]

Ok. I really want to have my Day/Night active option set to nighttime. I want it to be terrifying to go out at night, but I also want it to be somewhat challenging and scary to go out during the day. Basically I just want fast zombies at night, but I still want zombies to be normal shamblers during they day.

Is there an InI file I can edit or something to make this happen? I really don't like how slow zombies are during the day it is way too easy. I really like the day/night active option. Just not a fan of the stupid slow zombies during the day. Should be an option to enable or disable this so that people like me can be terrified during the day and then even more terrified at night.

Please someone help me.

I have no idea how to attend your request,but i think its a cool idea, so I will give you a boost.

Pretty sure I've seen a mod that does something similar. I know there is one that makes zombies seek shelter in the rain.

I think it's some sort of bug or inconsistency.

For example, if you globally set zombies to be sprinters, but tell them to be active at night, they still sprint during the day.

However, once you knock them down a tick to fast shamblers, during the day they move at an absolute snail's pace.

It would make a lot more sense if they erased the "active at day/night" option altogether and simply had different speed settings for day and night.

I agree. Still the current idea in place is pretty cool. It just really needs work. I don't think anybody wants their zombies to be that slow at any point ever. I can literally kill a whole horde with a baseball bat. (I didn't avctually do it because I got bored) But still. I came close. Im not sure why they thought that this would be a good idea.

I support the conclusion,but perphaps that could be achieved without scrapping the script altogheter.

yeah, shamblers are really lame, try to kill a horde of sprinters like you do shamblers and you will get beaten harder than than a jew in a muslim bar.

Exactly. Beaten doesnt even really describe it, considering you are getting eaten alive, but still.

We realy need an option for day/night active that either lets us set our own speeds for day and night, or is at least scaled to our choice.

For example. if set to active night. Night Runners would be fast shamblers during the day, fast shamblers would be normal shamblers and so on. This BS with zombies so slow they almost seem glitched has got to stop.

I seriously don't understand how there isn't some sort of an InI file or something that I can open and simply edit some lines of code. There has to be something like this. It can't really be that complicated.

Basically everyone wants what you are asking for OP. The current system isn't good. I was REALLY excited when I heard they put this feature in, then completely let down when I saw how poorly it was implemented :(

[SlightlyOff]

There is a mod called noctural zombies (link below) which makes zombies roam more. And from midnight until two in the morning, the zombies get a speed boost. You can outrun them, but you can't outwalk them. Make it dangerous because they can come up on you quick and if you are looking in the other direction, you will be in trouble. He has the name of the file where you can edit out that speed boost if you only want the extra migration; however, you could change the times so it's longer. This would not be a true day/night cycle as you would have to put in the specific times, but it might help add something similar to what you are looking for.

Thank you ahh_carp. This will have to do until they fix their current system. I will implement this into my server and test it out tomorrow. Thanks again.

sooooo. I have been trying this mod out now for a couple of weeks. Its not bad, but for MP the problem is that the zombies start glitching around. Really they just need to fix their day night ♥♥♥♥ ingame. This mod is great for singleplayer game sthough. Really scary. and zombies roam really well.

IMPORTANT UPDATE READ THIS BEFORE ADDING THIS MOD TO YOUR SERVER!

this mod will ♥♥♥♥ your server. you will no longer be able to see bags or any thumbnails for items. This mod will break a running MP server. Do not try to add this mod to any running server or singl player game.

You have been warned.

Petition the devs of PZ to get their ♥♥♥♥ together and fix the day night active.
