[Release] Walkers Zombies / Disable running on zeds

[Zupa]

This little edit will change the run speed of zombies chasing poeple.

 

Change in your compiles.sqf ( You need an own compiles.sqf ofcourse). If you do not, get it from the epoch pbo's: dayz_code\init\compiles.sqf and change the path in init.sqf)

zombie_generate = ....
wild_spawnZombies = ...

to

zombie_generate =     compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "zupa\walkers\zombie_generate.sqf";
wild_spawnZombies =  compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "zupa\walkers\wild_spawnZombies.sqf";

and place the following files in your missions pbo

What did i edit?

 

I simple edited the zombie monitor, it force speed to 2 instead of 10 on chasing zombies.

 

 

 

 

I do not use this on any of my servers. But it's tested and it works.

Zombie speed is only available at 3 steps: 

- Walking (Loiter Speed) -> speed 2

- Running (Chase Speed) -> speed 10

- Fast Running (faster as the player can run) -> speed >10

 

Other values than this 3 ones dont have any difference.

As example, if you try wo set the "Walking/Loitering" Speed to 3 or 4, it makes the zeds running but not walking more than speed 2. U know what i mean ?

Ow ok, didnt looked into that tbh, just  thought i was logical ^^

 

i'll remove that part

[Sp4rkY]

Yes, sadly this doesnt work. There are really this 3 options ;)

I have figured out the whole zombie system and i know what iam talking about... 

But nice addition :)

[WhiteWolfFin]

Great job Zupa.

Now i have small issue seems like that Z`s doesnt take agro on players anymore. Looking 3 Z walking shoot one and other 2 just wonder away. Any ideas what i should need to change to get them more agressives?

[emwilsh]

Keep them running... Zeds are stupid anyways so why make them walk?

[Meowzors]

Can you put this in the server pbo and point zombie_generate there instead?

No. But why would u?

[ryker]

Thanks for another great "zupa"-script!

[Meowzors]

any fix for the lack of agro on players? and i like a small mission file... this is an extra 60kb :P

It doesn't work at my DayZ Epoch Server (1.0.5.1)

 

My progress:

 

1. Server Stop - Check

 

2. downloading missionsfile from mpmissions: Named "dayz_private_1.epoch.chernarus"

 

3. missionfile extracted (pbo-manager)

 

4. Walkers-Master downloaded

#########################################################################

 

 

5. Replaced  zombie_generate =     compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "zupa\walkers\zombie_generate.sqf";

 

6. copied the zupa folder in to the dayz_private_1.epoch.chernarus-folder.

 

7. dayz_private_1.epoch.chernarus packed with pbo-manager

 

8. copied the pbo to my Server

 

9. Restarted Server!

 

It doesn't work:

 

ONLY WAITING FOR HOST

 

Where's the Mistake?

[Zupa]

Check your rpt logs

Any clues on how to also make wild zombies walk only?? I followed your instructions and it would appear that only zombies in populated areas walk, the ones out in the country still run at you.

The speed change is done in zombie_agent.fsm, but wild_spawnZombies.sqf still references the default file in dayz_code. I think  you just need to change that and include the file in your mission PBO. Not sure if that's the only change needed but it's something to try.

Updated for wild zeds support

[ryker]

hi zupa, thx for adding wildzeds! is it possible to make zeds hit harder and make them more clever? I used another script before were zeds are walking but they didn't get aggro and if, they didn't manage to hit someone with the first punch.

would be a great addition to our server!
kind regards, ryker

Hi Zupa, 

 

Thanks heaps for fixing that up man, it's now perfect.

How different is this script compared with this: 

[Proximus]

I'm getting this error, but zombies do walk and have some loot:

 

File z\addons\dayz_code\compile\spawn_loot_small.sqf, line 81

Does it have to do with the customloot for Overpoch?

zupa, i am interested in that, too. could you explain it to us please?

[Zupa]

Seems to be quite the same ^^ 

[ryker]

any chances to make the zeds act more aggro/clever in your script?

[Zupa]

i'll have to look deaper, dont have that much time, but i'll have a look, never went deap in the zed part

[ryker]

Hey Zupa, that's very kind! Hope you'll manage to give them some more cleverness.

Looking forward to it.
