Tins Tweaks for A18.3.

This looks awesome. I like the waxing and waning effect. A steady wave of "nightmarish abilities" granted to the 'monsters' as the darkness enshrouds the player.

How evil Tin, how evil indeed. I love it!

 
Your ability to work this kind of magic using xml continues to astound me Tin. Looking forward to giving this one the college try.

 
Thanks!

I hope you all give it a go, and have fun with it.

This is just a core, that I will be building around as time goes on.

But also works as just a standalone.

heh, just don't get caught unawares, and get snagged-n-grabbed by a group of zeds ;)

*melee is still viable ofc though*

 
This is a pretty cool idea. I'm really curious to test out the "progressively damaged gets slower" effect is like when a horde comes at you in a closed room/building.

Yeah, the mechanic gives the player another tactic to employ.

See a demo guy running towards your base? tag him a couple times and give yourself a few more seconds to deal with him (mechanic doesn't lessen their explosive power though).

Get caught out at night and got some runners outpacing you? Smack'em a couple times to give yourself some breathing room.

Got a horde eating through your defenses at break neck speed? tag a few to give you enough time to make that emergency repair.

Obviously the rad zombies will eventually heal themselves, if you leave them alone for too long but it will give the player time till they do.

Still have some tweaks I want to do with that particular mechanic but that's a later thing.

Hope you enjoy it.

 
Just a heads up for those that try to use this mod with Telrics Healthbar modlet.

The quick way to get this to work with this is: Just rename my folder, so it loads before the healthbar one.

This is not to say I will going through every mod to make it compatible with each other (not going to happen) but this one came up, and that is the solution.

Update. Disregard the work around in order to get Telrics Health Bar mod to work with the 24hr cycle. It has been resolved.

Telric has updated and reworked his mod to v2.0. located -> Here <-.

*Update*

Added a Frenzy version of the 24hr Zombie Cycle.

[The 'Clean' Version]: No Rage Mechanic, since it controls the Zombies speeds 24 hours a day.

[The 'Frenzy' Version]: Has a different type of rage. Zombies can only 'Frenzy' (rage), if they successfully land a strike against the player.

 
I'm loading in "Frenzy" in a game with about 80 other mods. I've got it at "permanent nighttime mode" so it will be nice to slow them down a bit when they chase

 
Haha, nice!

Hope it plays well with your mod emporium you have going on lol.

I can attest that the pull in is a ■■■■■... :)

The changes are subtle enough to not know how to game them but powerful enough to change the feel of melee combat.

 
I like the 'pull' feature when they 'grab' you. Caught me by surprise on Day 1 when I wasn't expecting it and almost killed me. Now, I pay more attention.

Just curious if this is offset by higher player skills similar to the stun offset?

Or will every zombie always have a chance to pull you in if they hit you?

 
The description states, "From Noon to Midnight, Humanoid Zombies get progressively stronger and faster every hour."

I'm trying to figure out if their fastest speed is equal to the game options setting or will zombies eventually run at Nightmare speed even if I set them to Walk?

In other words, if we set Zombies Sprint during daytime and Walk at night... will their top speed with this mod be Walk at Midnight and Sprint at Noon?

Oh, and Thanks for making combat more dynamic.

 
Cool.

I've not yet encountered your classification of Zombies, particularly not "brute". Is this a standard classification?

Also what about "earth" blocks? I think all Zombies should be able to destroy Sand and Clay blocks. At least all humanoid.

How does this affect Zombie animals and living animals?

The one mechanic that's missing is for the "level" of block that they can damage to go up by 1 at night and by 2 on horde night.

 
All zombies can already destroy earth and clay blocks in the vanilla game.

Brutes are actually a vanilla tag, I just added a couple more to be classified as those (bikers are considered brutes in the vanilla game for instance).

Yeah, not exactly sure what you totally mean by the level of the block, but if it is what I think you mean, I don't think it is needed.

As the gamestages increase, more higher classified zombies start to get spawned. So more blocks are eventually going to be able to be destroyed.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it. I just thought it was pretty cool someone else thought of something similar to what I made :)

All zombies will pull if they hit you. I just thought it made sense that each time they swing, they are trying to grab you. If an actual vanilla 'stun' happens, the pull feature temporarily gets turned off, to work around the potential stun lock from happening. Thats about as much of an offset their is.

I didn't really test the different speed setting they have in the game with it, only the defaults. So, atm I can't really say for sure, one way or anther they will get all turned around. I would 'assume', that they still convert to the mod, since I adjust their base speeds. Basically, I am forcing them to be at certain set speed every hour of the day. If the settings are adjusting them in an additive way, then all bets are off in that area, and things could get wonky, for ill or will. :D

The 'boss' classified zombies are the fastest, and they are set similar to vanillas top zombie speed. Other then that, each zombies classification has different top speeds they can reach.

This gets changed a bit, if you go the 'Frenzy' version. They get a "0.5" speed bump up, when they go into frenzy mode. So each zombie will get that frenzy increase, even the Boss types, which will then be my vision of insane speeds.

Hope that answers everything :)
