Climbing Zombies

[IronCrypt]

Can anyone point me to a mod that removes zombies from climbing ladders? But only that, alot of mods ive saw have this but other things that i dont like, thats in it. I just bought this game and i dont like this feature. Since i like the whole classic dumb zombie lore, i downloaded one mod called Walking Dead. At least that mod has just normal zombies and they dont run at night. Anyways if theirs a mod for the ladder thing, i'll be all set for my zombie fantasy:)

remove the bottom part of the ladder and zombies wont be able to climb.

as stated remove the bottom part so you have to jump to get on the ladder and you are set

i suppose i could do that, thanks for the heads up

They can still get up a ladder missing the bottom part when they start to pile on top of each other or dead mounds of zombies.

They are smart enough to climb, but they are too stupid to open a simple hatch on top, if that helps.

well in my last game since im still learning this, i found myself in trouble and saw a ladder on the back of this bank. I figured i would just get to the stop and be all set. When i got up their i was checking the map and inventory when next thing i knew i was getting mulled. Either way a mod just for this would be nice, but all in good time. Also is their anymore places for mods besides Nexus?

you can take a look in the "modding" section in the steam forums.

Yeah but that's not what you really want. You want zombies that don't climb, and I sympathize.

So it sounds like that mod did have other things you liked afterall?

I believe the TWD mod only has one zombie type set to climb, to keep you on your toes and to sort of fill in the "hey how did this one get up here, maybe i missed it on my initial search or someone climbed up here when i wasnt looking and died" gap. Which feels right to me TBH. In extreme moderation of course.

I'd think you would be OK with that, or were you seeing a grosser abuse of zombies climbing?

CHS - Classic Horde Survival[7daystodie.com] does this, but it also does a LOT of changes ot the game to make it more about killing zombies than anything else, so probably not your cup of tea.


However! Disabling zombies climbing ladders is actually very easy.
Open your 7 Days to Die directory.
Open Data folder.
Open Config folder.
Open the entityclasses.xml

Find all of this:
<property name="CanClimbLadders" value="true" />

Replace with:
<property name="CanClimbLadders" value="false" />


Done.

Hordes are so easy to defend against.. i see removing the ablity to climb ladders just make what is easy even easier. I like having to worry about them piling up on their own dead bodies and spikes to reach the next ladder.. give me some thing to worry about LOL

wow thanks buddy, gonna look into this right now, and yea i saw the survial mod aswell, it had some things i liked but most of the changes i didnt care for. I just want normal zombies, that only walk with non of this climbing stuff or other non classic zombie lore.

[IronCrypt]

well i found it, its seems for the walking dead mod, i found a zombie marlene, and zombie screamer and hornet were set for true, i went ahead and made the change. hopefully alls set now

FYI spider zombies can climb walls without ladders, so you may want to consider that before going out of your way to remove zombies climbing up ladders. Breaking the lower rungs off (2 ladder voxels) and dropping a wood frame (becasue it can be picked up from on the ladder) to increase the gap means they will rarely if ever get up a ladder. A lip will keep the spiders from climbing all the way up beyond that, but you will want to cap your ladder with a hatch too.

Man, you must be a really great player huh? Now everybody knows how formidable you are at the game man.. probably way better than me.
Anyway, what a sh!t post. the OP was asking a simple question. He didn't say "Man I can't wait for some folk to come in here and start making some d1ck waving posts about how easy the game is"

Good point. You can disable that too.

Remove this:
