Superb Survivors Continued Continued

Description
My Attempt at continuing Superb Survivors

Optimizations
1. Survivors AI routine is now updated every 60 ticks (once per second when running 60fps) - Previously every 20 ticks - To improve performance. AI does not need to reconsider its status 3 times per second.
2. Combat performance nerfed to update once every 20 ticks (3 times per second on 60fps) - Previously every 10 ticks - Improve performance and slightly nerf AI melee combat.

Bug fixes
1. Better FPS compatibility - added a NPC spawn distance option. Spawn distances greater than 30 will actually cause npcs not to spawn when using Potato PC configuration of Better FPS mod. This is because NPCs cannot be loaded outside of the cell that the player has loaded in.
2. Fixed memory leak where survivor was unable to climb out of a window due to out of index bug - This was causing thousands of accumulating errors per stuck survivors

Recommended Optimizations
1. Allocate more Ram - Add this to ProjectZomboid64.json. and ProjectZomboid64.bat. Replace the equivalent -Xmx... and -Xms... with
-Xmx12g
-Xms6g
Make sure both are added. Xms determines Ram usage. Xmx determines max available memory.

2. Run maximum of ~8 - 10 Npcs
3. Render less zombies at any one time - less in total or using Better FPS mod.
4. Do not run the mod with standardized xp mods - Maybe? I notice some more lag
5. Do a youtube tutorial to improve gaming performance
6. Avoid more than 6x total pop (especially in louisville) - Survivor AI have to see and process each zombie every update.
7. Play with everyone is infected - There is no way of cleaning up dead uninfected npcs. They can only be cleaned up if they die and zombify
8. Change Zombie clothing to simple. Reduce max texture size to 256 or 512. Turn off blood decals.
9. For Desperate Measures - Cap your frame rate to 30-45 FPS. This mod updates the survivor routines for all survivors once per frame.

Setting the spawn of npc to 0 does nothing. So the values may not work in saved games, I've not tested it in a new save. :cozypoesad:

Been having problems with this mod, specifically survivors joining my group when I didn't ask them to, and survivors going hostile when I try to move items in my own base. It's a bummer that they glitch so often, playing without NPCs is so lonely!

Blutwurst she aint coming back bro, she left for the kids
Blutwurst Mar 24 @ 12:27pm 
same here. i order my wife to farm. she leaves the base for good. no coming back. i can still see her in the surviver UI but i cant get her back. i dont know where she is.
other survivers picking corpses while zombies are around. than they are engaging the fight with the corps in their hand. without a weapon equipted. suicide squad -.-
150+ errors in 1h playtime. this version looks actually more broken as the original superb survivor mod...

I get a lot of errors and can't order my group to stay at the base, they just leave and never come back

There doesn't seem to be a way to configure hostile NPC weapons as @ショーン(sean) said below. Being able to do so would be nice - whether there's a way to do it now or implemented in an update.

Nice work man! Good to see that someone is still trying to get this working

For some reason, all hostile npcs always spawn with same weapons.
Revolver, spear, and hunting rifle, that's it, nothing else.
Any ideas how to edit npc weapon list?

I'd like to point out that I've noticed that when using this mod, I don't get pop-ups anymore. Like when you hover your mouse over something, it doesn't display the information it should.
