lovely mod would love tuning options in sandbox settings <3

Can you please make a Zombies fear darkness as an addon to sun or standalone? And to add a percent chance/random deviation of zombies that actually go indoors so you can have mini invasions while still having to fear being outside?

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.

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 Aug 12, 2023 @ 12:07am 
don't work for me unfortunately
BONANGER1 Aug 8, 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?

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 Jun 19, 2022 @ 10:55am 
YAAAS love it :D
tunalemons Jun 18, 2022 @ 4:28pm 
I mean, it makes sense. Rain would only speed up their decay.
Ashardalon125 Apr 27, 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.

48_Koolaid Jan 31, 2022 @ 3:32pm

Drago Duval Jan 24, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
Also amazing mod, ill go try it right now !!
Drago Duval Jan 24, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
@Viceroy Oooo i llove the idea of them hiding during the day, just like Dying Light and the Hungering.
Skiff Jan 23, 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] Jan 19, 2022 @ 8:46am 
Thanks dudes!

@Malkavian407[RU], I actually have a prototype of just that. (And an inverted Day version)
Malkavian407[RU] Jan 18, 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).
Christus Rex Jan 12, 2022 @ 8:16am 
I will be waiting for the update, thanks Viceroy.
Boog Jan 9, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
can not wait for this mod
Viceroy  [author] Jan 5, 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 Jan 5, 2022 @ 8:43am 
is it just me or did my rain completly stop working lol
Death Classic Jan 3, 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] Jan 3, 2022 @ 7:55am 
Yo guys, I am back! I will be fixing up all my shit soon.
Kat Oct 27, 2021 @ 1:37pm

Hiro78 Sep 19, 2021 @ 7:48pm
