Works on 42.18.0

Did you fall in the shower and get a piece of glass lodged in your groin, but the Zombies seemed more concerned about your little cold?

No longer will you be forced to deal with your wounds alone!

*warning, zombies may not actually aid you and may in fact try to kill you.

How the Mod works

The default settings are recommended but if you find yourself looking for something more challenging - or more casual, all of these settings can be modified to your liking.

Bleeding, un-bandaged wounds attract zombies to your location.
The smaller the wound, the less likely you are to attract attention. (Scratches only attracting zombies that are very close by vs. deep bleeding wounds.
Each injury stacks. Having a scratch on each body part will attract more zombies than a single laceration on your arm.
Change your bandage! If your bandage gets dirty, it will attract zombies.
Having a dirty bandage is better than an un-bandaged wound (toggle-able on/off and percentage).

How Dirty Bandage Modifiers work:

If your cut modifier is set to 20, a dirty bandaged cut will have a total range of 20 at 100%, 15 at 75%, 10 at 50%, 5 at 25%, 0 at 0%

So try to look at the percentages from a point of "how much of my wound can they smell from under a dirty bandage".

100% - I might as well not be wearing this dirty bandage. Makes no difference.
75% - Dirty Bandage is pretty ineffective but its better than nothing.
50% - I should clean this bandage as soon as I can. But its keeping me safe for now.
25% - My wound is pretty well covered, they can only partially smell it.
0% - Don't worry about washing it, they can't smell through the dirty bandage at all.

Recommended mods:

Based on Ogre Leg's Danger Zone: Scent of Blood, code has been fully refactored but the original inspiration still stands.

I published a Build 42 compatibility patch for Scent of Blood:

⬆️ Scent of Blood - Patch ⬆️

It restores and expands the mod’s translations for the JSON format used in Project Zomboid 42.15+, keeps compatibility with earlier Build 42 translation files, and includes a small compatibility and safety fix for newer builds.

10 of Hearts, thanks for Scent of Blood, and please feel free to use anything from this patch that may be useful for the original mod.
