Dynamic Body Shape

Description
Dynamic Body Shape [B41 - B42]
WARNING: THIS MOD REQUIRES JAVA MODDING (check instructions below)

Your body is a temple. However, if you don't care for it properly it could have dire consequences.
Sadly, the base game doesn't reflect your condition, and this mod fixes that.

You'll be able to see 5 different physique levels: Emmanciated, Underweight, Default, Fat and Obese, which reflect your character condition dynamically.
You'll also have more muscles based on your character strength and fitness level (while they are Default).

This new version may enable Multiplayer Support for build 41. I haven't tested it yet.

Special Thanks

To Chuck's Modding Community, specially Albion and Sir Doggy Jvla for help with the coding, Nightscale for help with importing the models to blender, Birget for fixing the player models and Armature for Build 42, and VlwsMIR for help compiling the new Java Classes

(I need help of people willing to voice act, check it out for more info)

HOW TO INSTALL

You'll need to open 2 folders: Your project zomboid base game folder, and the workshop mod folder.
You'll see either a zombie folder in the root directory of the workshop mod folder (This is for Build 41), Or a folder named 42 (for Build 42). Inside the folder with the version there'll be the zombie folder with the classes for that version.
Copy the entire zombie folder to the base game folder.

You can also get the zombie folder here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LOM6QYONeE9KfSv1HQN75MNj3qH0GR7B/view?usp=sharing
or
https://mega.nz/file/H24j0YJI#KGSINuikAaA_741ZCIvDF4qLmVPuor8TMTC7ZRH9QQc

You need to make sure the mod is enabled FROM THE MAIN MENU, otherwise the models will not load and the character will dissappear.
If your player does not load, go to the main menu, make sure Dynamic Body Shape is enabled, and restart the game. It should work correctly after that.
(this is because the player mesh models aren't loaded correctly by the game :P, if you write reloadModelsMatching("MaleBody") in the console, you'll realise what I mean)

That's it. I'll leave an instructive video showing the process.

ZOMBIE BODYSHAPE CONTROLS

Now Dynamic Body Shape allows control of the zombies Body Shapes. When Creating a new Sandbox world, You'll have the option to configure the Zombie Bodyshape Distributions. Just set the weights you want, and it should figure out how many of each zombie body shape should appear.
(Zombie corpses may change shape, specially when exiting and entering the game again)

HOW TO UNINSTALL

I made the java modification as unintrusive as possible, but if you want to uninstall the mod for some reason:
Deactivate the mod from the game, then on steam library right click PZ, go to properties, Installed Files and verify integrity of game files.

MODELS

I left a Blend file containing all the models used for the mod (for Male and Female). This is for other modders if you wish to use it as a base for your fat and obese versions, or for any other interested party that wishes to change, fix or rework the models.

COMPATIBILITY

The mod should now be compatible with any mod that changes the player model mesh.

The mod is compatible with clothing mods. However, it is extremely likely that the clothing will clip for Fat and Obese models.
To fix this, it would require an addon for specific clothing mods. It only requires a copy of the clothing Items, with and _Fat and _Obese at the end of the TypeName.

I know that Small Town First Responders ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623855083 ) added support, for instance.

Works with:
+ Simple Character Retexture , By Hea
+ Bandits and Bandits Week One, By Slayer

~ Ellies's Hands and Feet Mod (To Be Tested with new version)

~ Rae's Body Mod (the fat and obese model's work, but the muscular seem to not work, will investigate further)

I've been getting errors (B41) every time I kill an obese zombie, which is really funny.

literally spent a whole day disabling mods to find which one was making my screen black everytime i kill a zombie, it was this one.

in b42 it crashes and makes errors like alfredo said

In b42 it's causing an error thats doesn't start the game, and it's causing by copying the zombie folder at the game base, but after a integrity check, goes normal but the mod doesn't run. And i tried restarting the game and the pc

there's a bug that comes with this mod as it make the health gui panel empty

This mod has a bug with the zombies when you kill them, they become like a ball of meat on the ground and even sometimes the game screen gets bugged and turns all black, I think it is not compatible with Authentic Z and other zombie mods, It is a good mod but I think it can not be used extensively with other mods.

Nice mod, too much messing with the files though, should be just as simple as every other workshop mod

acho que funciona melhor na b41

Doesn't work on servers. When you attack a zombie it crashes.
