There is a minus in fashion, when corpses lie above the ground, they do not disappear!!! In my case, they’re trapped…. link to the screenshot https://disk.yandex.ru/i/ta2qJjBPucjxOw

Hello !

Corpses won’t disappear until you harvest them. Regarding the levitating corpses, I can’t do anything, it depends on the physics engine of the game.

There are a few minutes in fashion, corpses that do not weigh on the ground, but let’s say they do not disappear without touching it !!! в моем случае они на ловушке….

So after playing with this mod for past two weeks, number of accumulated dead bodies became unbearable .. to walking and to my FPS.
Is there any way to put a timer on the the unharvested corpses so they unload by themselves, let’s say after 1 game day or so ?

Hi,

I think this is a glitch. In fact, when you are far away from a zombie that you killed recently, the chunk unload and then the timer juste freeze.

If you want that bodies turn into corpse block, you have to wait ten minutes in the chunk where the bodies are.

The only thing I can do is to decrease the amount of time needed to turn a zombie into a corpse block for decrease the chance of letting a “fresh” dead bodie in a unload chunk.

But the problem will still be there.

Yours.

Excellent mod, reminds me of when I played on console, but I have a question, is it normal that after a few days in the game, the zombie bodies do not disappear? I have to be destroying them manually and it’s a bit annoying when I have to go down to my spike trap and I get hurt. It’s a good mod though, I like it.

in A21 i can’t loot the corpses right after they die, only for nitrate and bone as decomposed carcasses

Hi !

Yes, in alpha 21, you cannot loot zombies anymore.

In fact, I disable this functionnality to fit the gameplay with the aim of dev to make the game harder. Off course, you still can drop Z-PACK from zombies, but tou can’t loot them as the ALPHA 20 version.

In any case, it is very hard to make such an equilibrate gameplay with zombie loot system, because the loot are made by the level and skill points : things that it is very hard to adapt for a good and fair gameplay.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this with the better vanilla pack? I was trying to, but every time I kill a zombie it gives me an error, and every time i try to loot on i get another error. The zombies are the same they just have generated names on each one maybe that is causing errors with the mod.

Hi, i am the creator. Unfortunately, I don’t think my mod is compatible with any other zombie overhaul mod. I can try when I will have time to spend to make my mod compatible with Better Vanilla Pack.

Yours.

Hey I wanted to leave a suggestion for this mod. This feature could either be a separate mod or a separate download for this mod. There was an old feature where when zombie corpses decompose there was a third stage where the corpse block would turn into a gore block that could stack up on top of each other allowing zombies to climb up your walls like World War Z. It would be a really nice addition to the mod.

You should watch a tutorial on YouTube about how install mods. Because it works well for me. Don’t forget to create a mod folder !

Mod doesn’t work, I put all the files in the game Config folder and it makes the console show everything the game is loading when loading up my world and then it gets error codes and is stuck “creating player”. I have Anti cheat off. Does this mod work for pre-existing worlds?

Hey ! You should NEVER put all files in config folder. You have to create a “mod” folder, and then, you just have tu put my mod in this file. Just go watch some tutorials on YouTube, they are plenty of it. Any 7 DTD mod don’t need to go to your game file. You just need a mod folder, if you replace files in config or whatever, you will just brake your game.
