Does this make the zombies actively seek out the player or just highten their senses and make them wander around? If I am perfectly hidden in my base will zombies still try and break in?

ik the mod says dont sleep at night but i like this mod cus it makes reinforcing bases more rewarding, seeing zombies fail to get in under moonlight is awesome. also yk that moment when your coming back from a loot run and the sun is going down so youre stressed, well now the zombies come out aswell

Did a lot of testing with this mod. The speed doesn't work, but the hunting instincts do work in singleplayer. Its pretty great.
On a dedicated server, this does nothing nothing. Is too bad because this mod is really cool.

Hope someone out there updates it one day to work in multiplayer. It really makes zombies a scary threat.

Still works?

Hmm I didn't see the speed boost during the hours indicated, but I must have had a conflicting mod.

@Trombonaught, Actually, the mod adds speed, but only at night. By morning, the speed of the zombies is restored. (or may be speed mod feature doesn't work anymore?)

@all, Yes, I forgot and abandoned this mod, but usually I make mods so that they do not require support. And if I see a detailed bug report, I MAY accidentally fix it. No promises.

If you're wondering if the mod works, right now it definitely works with the stable game. I'm also using Random Zombies as well as Night Sprinters, no bugs. This mod does not appear to be making sprinters or adding speed, but it does appear to make zombies wander more at night. Highly recommend.

I used this in my present day (41.63) sp build with random speed zombie settings. It definitely does work and pretty much as expected with at least most, if not all zombies sprinting (on v high pop so generally hide at night).

Decided to post this for anyone's future reference and also because they stop sprinting at 9am (becoming slow walkers) which seems a little late for me.

outdated indeed

OUTDATED

Can it be used with Sandbox+ or Customized Zombie in B41？

Figured out my issue i had nightsprinters and noturnal zombies fixed enabled. causing weird times for speed.

It's for b 40. I guess there was no b41 in 2018.
But it should work with b 41 too.

I have a question, this mod works for b 41?

well chamblers and walkers would be fine then, thanks!

It should be compatible.

I haven't tested it with runners. So I guess runners will be super runners at night and it won't be realistic enough. I hope one day I update this mod to include runners.

good, its compatible with sandbox mod to get porcentages of runners or walkers?

The mod ignores sandbox settings.

question, in the options overwrite the world creation option: day night activity? or changing it changes how the mod works?

Seems to work in 41.47 as during the night i notice zombies roaming toward my character's area more actively, during day they are rather passive otherwise.

I haven't noticed their speed being significantly different than usual during night, maybe it's not working in IWBUMS or the boost wasn't too significant -- or i just didn't happen to meet them at that specific hour frame.

It's a good mod to make nights an ideal time to seek refuge/hide in some building rather than staying in the open.

the mod perfectly works on my server

Last update may be in 2016 but no crashes. Depends on the mod.

last update is in 2018. no need to add this mod to your mod list unless you need 999 crashes.

As The Prodigy said: Does this still work?

does this still work?

Please update for build 40. Really miss having NZ.

Thank you so much! :)

You may include it in any packs.

Hi Star! I was wondering if I would be able to put your mod into the server mod for my server, Monghell? I'd include a credit and link.

We're at a point where we have so many mods that it can take forever for new players to download the mods when they first login, so I'm trying to get permission to fold mod content into the server mod so it's not such a problem anymore.

No worries if not!

Anyways thanks for the great mod, it adds a lot to the server! :)

Beware The Night Hunter challenge:
Zombie spawn rate: Very Low
Zombie Sight, Smell, Hearing: High
Zombie Toughness: High
Zombie Strength: High
Activeness: Nighttime Only
Infection: None
Horde size: 5 max.

Super Survivors Mod: High spawn rate, Medium hostility chance, Normal Bravery.

Have this mod on too.

It's really terrifying and fun.

I think many people would enjoy a standard NZ and a hard/challenge version. It seems it would be simple enough to just reupload with new values. =)

Sorry, I forgot that there is lua checksum. You may upload in workshop you own fixed version.

See this part of code:
local chance = 0; --means 100% chance
if hour < 22 and hour > 5 then
chance = 200;
elseif hour >= 22 and hour < 23 then
chance = (23 - hour) * 100;
elseif hour > 4 and hour <= 5 then
chance = (hour - 4) * 100;
end

When I played with friends it was hard enough on default game settings.
Anyway, for this, change only a few numbers in the mod code if you are server admin.

To give people more options and after awhile the default NZ feels to easy with such short hours.

Why?

Can we have an alternative version where zombies begin extended roaming by 9pm, starting at 11pm they have full speed until 6am, and extended roaming until 8am?

Love the mod and it is a must have. I would just like to see it enhanced.

is there a working mod with walking zombies at night only, without getting swarmed?

This mod is excellent for challenge but one fatal flaw is that it constantly drags horde of zombies into you regardless of whether or not you take down (though not silently) few distance away from horde. I take down a couple inside a house using knife and kill couple more who approached after hearing the ruckus but then swarm of zombies proceeds to greet me in a pack of 10 ~ 20.

I guess I will use to sandbox settings for now and enable it again when I want some hardcore gameplay.

@star: thanks. I like honesty in modders. :)

neat

I know my mod better than anyone else: bugs, optimization, performance, how it works, is it finished etc. So I can describe if it's good or not. It will be my opinion. And one number is better than wall of text.

what is it with modders putting quality % on the page? Im genuinly curious!

Such a great mod!

This is somehow better than the official Nocturnal Zombies setting. The community has yet again shown more competence than the game devs themselves.

agreed

Just wanted to say thanks for fixing this mod. It's an absolute "must have" IMO, and I think the Dev's should really just put it straight into the game.

Which is why I am asking for faster shufflers...

Even now it looks ridiculous when a creeping zombie flies at a running speed. Don't you think so?)

Could we have a version with even faster zombies at night? Preferably without changing them
to sprinting.
