Hi Hagi I cannot disable the headshot bonus. It is embedded in the Sphere II Core which I use. I cannot see any way to make it apply differently to melee weapons. However I have heard this complaint from a few people. Having thought about this - there are probably only two or three things I can do. 1. Nerf the Melee Club weapons so they do less damage and may take 2 hits to kill a zombie. 2. Or make the Club Swing use more Stamina so you cannot swing as often / need more time to recover. 2. Or I increase the overall Health Points for zombies meaning there is more chance that they will not be killed instantly with the bonus. Happy for your suggestions, I want to make sure the game is balanced so that clubs are not so overpowered. thanks V

Vampiricon's DAY of the DEAD mod pack for 7 Days to Die V19.6 Inspired by George Romero's awesome trilogy: Night of the Living Dead / Dawn of the Dead / Day of the Dead * version 4.1 now available * When there is no more room in Hell - the Dead will Walk the Earth ! The intent of this mod is to create a George Romero Day of the Dead zombie world with a much higher population of regular zombies. Burnt zombies, Spider zombies, Animal Zombies, and other zombie types that do not fit the Romero-world have been removed. The overall population and variety of regular zombies has been substantially increased, with growing zombie Hordes occurring every 4 hours. In the Romero tradition, you will need to focus on taking them out with headshots, since they are more resistant to damage elsewhere. You will have plenty of extra firepower, with an armada of over 60 new weapons and 30 new vehicles, as well as increased chances of finding ammo and explosive munitions. Each new player is given a Starter Crate with guns, ammo and supplies to help survive the first few days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YES this mod is compatible with SMX UI - download the available patch from the Files section. The game will still work fine without the patch. But the patch allows you to see the 3 additional menu options (Land Claims, Max Zombies, Max Animals) which are not available in SMX. SMX UI is highly recommended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will most likely need to start a new game with this mod. Saved games for DOTD V3.1 and prior will not work. Tested on Alpha 19.6. Fully compatible with LAN and Internet multi-play. Fully compatible with Client installations and Dedicated Server installations. Does not work with EAC Enabled. You must disable EAC in the 7DTD Launcher.

Day of the Dead is fully compatible with SMX. This patch simply allows you to see the 3 extra menu options (Land Claims, Max Zombies, Max Animals). Key Features of Mod Pack: There is a major overhaul to the zombie population so it is more like a George Romero world.George Romero zombies do not run or scale vertical walls like insects.They shamble, they walk, they jog, they can move a bit quicker when aggressive. But not sprint or run.This mod purposely moves away from the zombies you find in 28 Days Later or World War Z.Zombies can only be killed by headshot or smashing the head or by extreme damage to the body.And most of all, they are found in large numbers, to slowly but surely swarm and surround you.....Zombies that do not fit Day of the Dead have been removed: - Burnt zombies- Spider zombies- Fat Cop zombies- Wight zombies- Animal zombiesGeneral zombie population is increased by a factor of 7X and more variety has been added to all Biomes and Zombie Groups. - There are a lot more regular zombies in Cities, Towns, Villages, POIs, and all Wilderness areas.- Much more variety has been added to zombie groups, so that more zombie types appear across the different biomes. - There is a small chance of encountering Feral, Radiated and Legendary zombies in early stages for added challenge.Wandering Horde settings:- Wandering Hordes will start from midnight on Day 2 to give you a little breathing room.- Wandering hordes start at 10 zombies on Level 1 and gradually increase as the Game Stage increases. - By Game Stage 50 you will reach 25 zombies per horde.- By Game Stage 150 you will reach 50 zombies per horde. - Hordes will then increase by 5 zombies every 100 Game Stages until it peaks at 75 zombies.- As the Game Stage increases further you will get more Feral, Radiated and Legendary zombies in the Horde.- Horde Frequency is still every 3 hours.- The game's AI director can be hit-and-miss with Horde generation. - The Horde may find you or it might just miss you or may not appear at all. It can vary. - It depends what you are doing, your heat map, whether your location has changed, or how noisy you are. - Sometimes the Horde will be instructed to wait 1 hr, sometimes 12 hours, and sometimes will not appear at all.Zombie jump distance has been slightly increased. - Zombies can climb ladders, climb each other, and jump a little higher. - They can stack on top of each other to reach areas 3 or 4 zombies high. - They can actually reach quite high places and roof areas, refer to the mod screen shots for examples. - Spider zombies that scale high vertical walls have been removed. Feral and Radiated zombies still start appearing as the Game Stage and difficulty increase, but they have been modified. Difficulty progression tier is still Normal --> Feral --> Radiated --> LegendaryFeral zombies:- Health, Aggression speed burst and Pain Resistances have been lowered. - Consequently the Experience Earned is also reduced. - Still tougher than Normal zombies and more experience earnt. Radiated zombies:- Their regeneration capability has been removed, so they no longer heal on their own. - They still heal if they bite you.- No longer appear in a radiated mesh. - They will either have green glowing eyes only (about 30% of the models allow for separate eye mesh) - or just look like Ferals with orange eyes (for the remainder) - Health, Aggression Speed burst, and Pain Resistances have been lowered. - Consequently the Experience Earned is also reduced. - Still tougher than Feral zombies and more experience earnt. - Legendary zombies:- Added into the general population for later game stages.- There are three: Legendary Lab zombie Legendary Business Man zombie Legendary Utility Worker zombie- These are higher challenge zombies to replace zombies like the Fat Cop and Wight which have been removed.In true Romero tradition - Zombies only take full damage from headshots. - You can still slow them down, knock them over, knock them back, burn them, dismember limbs, and even kill them through body damage.  But they are much more resistant and take minimal damage to the body unless dismembered. - You will only get full value for weapon damage through headshots. - If you get a clean head shot you have a high possibility of the head exploding for an instant kill. - You also get a 200% bonus to your starting dismemberment chance for all weapons. There are lots of additional guns and ammunition available to assist you. - Over 60 new military weapons including pistols, shotguns, rifles and SMGs. - 2 flamethrowers, wide and narrow bursts.- New Concussion grenades, shock grenades, shock arrows and show bolts.- Significant improvements to automated gun Turrets.- Junk Turrets easier to craft. - Junk Turrets have increased range, coverage and awake distance.- Deploy up to 6 active Junk Turrets. 1 to start with (find the recipe!) and gain an extra 5 via Robotics Inventor skill.- 4 new automated Turret types (including M60 and Sniper variants) built from a separate Turret Workbench.When starting a new game, players will have a Starter Crate filled with gear to help you get started. 1 Rifle with 600 rounds of ammo 1 Pistol with 100 rounds of ammo 4 Molotov's 2 Concussion Grenades, Shock Grenades, and Dynamite Sticks. 5 Repair kits Random Medical and Food supplies All players receive the following bonuses by default. Bonus damage for clean head shots with increased chance of the head exploding. This will stack with existing Perks/Skills. 200% bonus increase to base Dismemberment chances. This will stack with existing Perks/Skills and impacts ALL weapon types. The base level experience required to go up a level has been increased from 10000 to 15000 due to all the extra zombies. Otherwise you will level too quickly and experience stronger zombies before you are ready. The following existing explosive ordinance have been tweaked to be more effective against zombies in DOTD. - Entity damage has been increased with additional head damage bonus. - Explosive radius has also been slightly increased. So try not to blow yourself up.- Rockets - HE and Frag - Grenade - Contact and Timed - Dynamite - Molotovs - PipebombsNumerous other enhancements: - 2 skill points per level instead of 1. - HUD updated to display Health, Food, Water, Temperature, Elevation, Zombie kill counter and Death counter. - Multiple Land Claims (selectable from Game Start menu). - Reduced night ambience to make it darker, with medium layer of fog. Slightly darker inside. - Added 26 new vehicles. - Added 4 new motorcycles. - Added 60 slot backpack. - Added craftable log spikes. - All animals and animal zombies removed except Rabbits and Chickens which are basically invulnerable. - Raw animal materials now available from all Traders. - Added ability to pick up plants with E. - Additional craftable doors. - Additional decorations. - Added Iron Gates. - Added Paintings and Posters. Zombie Speed and Number Settings You can still configure the zombie speeds and numbers as you desire. But for a Day of the Dead experience, recommended settings are provided.This basically means no running zombies, as you find in 28 Days Later and World War Z. These settings are all found on the Basic tab when you start a game. For servers you have to configure these settings in the serverconfig.XML. Recommended Settings: Zombie Day Speed WALK Zombie Night Speed JOG Feral Zombie Speed JOG Blood Moon Zombie Speed JOG or RUN Maximum Zombies 100 - 150 Maximum Animals 25 Blood Moon is available. You can turn it on or off as desired. I turn it on for a little bit of variety in the Gameplay - and set the Zombie speed to RUN only on Blood Moon night. All zombie speeds are available (Walk, Jog, Run, Sprint, Nightmare) But recommended settings are provided above for a Day of the Dead experience. There is a reminder on the Menu screen when you play the game.What is new in Version 4.1 ? - Updated for 7DTD V19.6 compatibility. - Added Sam's Special Ammo (Shock Grenade, Concussion Grenade, Shock Arrow, Shock Bolt). - They have also been added to Loot Tables and Zombie Drops. - Added Doughphunghus's buff sounds which provides additional zombie noises. - Enhanced Pipe Bombs to be more effective against zombies. - Updated the Starter Kit. - Changed starting Rifle to ACW-R, and starting Pistol to P226 for variety. - Added 2 each of the new concussion and shock grenades. - Added 2 sticks of dynamite. - Added compatibility patch for SMX Menu UI so that you can see the additional settings: - Land Claim Count / Max Zombies / Max Animals - They have been added to the general tab - Changed Wandering Hordes from every 4 hours back to every 3 hours. - Wandering Hordes are very hit-and-miss. Sometimes they spawn, sometimes they do not. Sometimes they wait 1 hour and sometimes 12 hours. - KhaineGB is aware of the issue and is looking into it. - Increased wilderness spawns from 5X back to the original 7X since you now have more chance to find Guns & Ammo & Explosives. - Proportional increase to the Ammunition amounts found in Loot and Zombie Drops to balance the additional zombies.* For a full history on changes, refer to the Version History TXT file.

It is protected like a normal trader, but can not be used for quests Motorcycles Introduced by MOO:Chopper Sports Bike Harley Dirt Bike Detailed Junk Turret Modifications: You can have up to 6 Junk Turrets working concurrently (requires perkTurrets skill for robotics). You can use 1 Turret to start with (if you find the recipe) and 1 extra Turret per robotics level (perkTurrets). Improved accuracy. Firing range increased from 15 to 30 metres. Angle of fire increased from 70 degrees to 120 degrees for larger coverage (horizontal and vertical). Magazine size set to 2000 rounds. For the Robotics Inventor skill, the range at which Turrets remain awake has been pushed. From (10,14,15,16,17,18) blocks to (30,34,38,42,46,50) blocks. Recipes have been included to make it very easy to craft the Turrets and the ammo for them. There is also a very simple recipe for a Workbench. None of these require a schematic but you will need Robotics Inventor skills to have 5 extra Turrets. Changes to Animal Population:I have decided to remove the animal butchery part of the game, so you can focus on zombie killing instead.I am not interested in that side of the game, I play to shoot zombies not kill helpless animals. All animals have been replaced by a standard zombie, except Rabbits and Chickens which are basically invulnerable and offer no experience for killing.To compensate, animal raw materials are now available from the Traders at any time for purchase, as well as you starter kit. Compatibility with other mods: The mod is largely designed as a stand-alone pack.However you should be able to use other mods, depending on what the MOD does: Any mod that adds new features should be fine Any mod that adjusts things that I do not adjust should also be OK You should avoid using any of the mods that are already used within this pack, as this will potentially cause conflict. This mod does change things in relation to entitygroups, entityclasses, spawning, blocks and several other XML files. The changes mostly relate to zombie behavior, zombie numbers, zombie types, etc.There are also a number of minor UI adjustments. I would avoid anything that adjusts zombie behavior mainly.Otherwise, use discretion and keep an eye on the log (F1) for compatibility issues during loading.With vanilla 19.5 and my mod installed, there are no errors in the log during start up.You may see Mesh/Map related errors *just* prior to entering the game but these are nothing to do with my mod.Any mods that do a major overhaul of gameplay are likely **not** to be compatible either. This includes overhauls like Darkness Falls and War of the Walkers.>> Feedback is that the SMX UI mod works OK <<Endorsements: This mod has been made for your enjoyment - no profit.

You need WINZIP or 7ZIP or similar application to open the MOD file. Extract the MOD file directly into your "7 DAYS TO DIE" directory. Select Y when prompted to overwrite 1 file. The files will all go to the correct location. Follow the INSTALL guide for more information.What Version of 7DTD do I need? This mod will only work on Alpha 19.6.What Installation Version of the MOD do I need? If you are using a DEDICATED SERVER install then use the DEDICATED SERVER installation.For all other instances (SINGLE PLAYERS / LAN or NETWORK PLAYERS ) use the CLIENT installation.Is this mod pack compatible with existing Save Games? The short answer is no - If you have never used the Sphere II core mod before then you will have to start a New Game / New World. If you upgrade to DOTD V3.2 from an older version then you will also have to start a New Game. It is also recommended that once you start playing - you keep your Saved Games associated with this mod.Does this mod support multiplayer? Yes. This mod fully-supports multiplayer. For dedicated server installs, you need to install the Server version of the mod. Just make sure everyone installs the mod.If someone connects to my DOTD game, will they automatically receive the files? No. Harmony files will not get pushed automatically. Everyone involved in the game must manually install the files first: Clients and Dedicated Servers.Can I run this on a dedicated server installation? Yes. Install the Dedicated Server version of this mod instead.Is this mod pack compatible with other mods? This mod pack is largely designed as a stand-alone pack. You should avoid using any of the mods that are used within this pack. Since I have modified most of the 3rd party mods I have used, you should use the versions provided here. This mod pack changes things in relation to entitygroups, entityclasses, spawing, blocks and many other files. So you should avoid mods that change zombie behaviour, zombie numbers, zombie types, junk turrets, etc. Any mods that do a major overhaul of gameplay are likely **not** to be compatible either. --> It will not work with overhauls like Darkness Falls and War of the Walkers. <-- HOWEVER If you are using other mods that add new things, and do not fiddle with the above, then you should be fine. Use discretion and keep an eye on things in the log using F1. What happens if I see errors in the log F1 ? If you are using my mod pack alone you will see NO ERRORS in F1 as the game loads, except for the map/mesh errors that are shown right before you start. These are not due to this mod, but the map you are using, and nothing to worry about. If you do see errors, this is most likely because you are using a conflicting MOD or you are not on the correct version of 7DTD.What files are modified during installation? The Romero mod adds or overwrites the following files in the 7DaysToDie_Data\Managed folder:0Harmony.dllAssembly-CSharp.dll <- For most people this is the only file that will be overwrittenDMT.dllMods.dll All other changes are new folders in the Mods directory.Can I adjust the Wandering Horde settings ?

These settings are all available in the Start or Continue menu tabs when starting a game.How do I apply the recommended Zombie Speed and Zombie Number settings for a Dedicated server ?

Hiya Almond. I am getting the same warning about MainTex similar to the others when I set up the turrets. It does not interrupt the game but is there in the log, over and over. Material doesn't have a texture property '_MainTex' (Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Shaders/Material.cpp Line: 1371) I am using the latest Sphere II mod which is the only place I can find a reference to _MainTex. Not sure if that helps. Any ideas on this yet? thanks V

Thanks for the reply - champion! I will explore DMT a bit more then, I am still getting my head around it. Yes the spawning is odd. I agree with all your comments above. You can see when the WH spawns that sometimes it makes different decisions. I have no issues with you disabling Blood Moon - it is handy that I can just delete that DLL as you mentioned. But I like having it available as an option. So for my Day of the Dead Mod I still want to use your Headshot mod via Sphere and your own Wandering Horde mod - but still enable Blood Moons and without forcing walk. I am just having some issues with my latest round of changes, the WH setting of every 4 hours has suddenly stopped, it has been working fine on all my previous updates. So just trying to nail down the issue..... cheers!

Hi KhaineGB Thanks for answering my questions above. Regarding the two points raise by people above: I also found the Trader Protection was disabled when I first downloaded your mod. It is a setting in Mods\0-SphereIICore\Config\blocks.xml. By default it was set to true. <property name="MakeTraderVulnerable" value="false" /> I also had the issue with the overlapping sort icons, which was fixed through a similar XML delete as described above. There were basically two bits of code in different sections doing the same thing. I do have a couple of new question for you if you have time - about your Wandering Horde mod specifically. What software did you use to create the DLL file that controls your Wandering Horde settings ? (Harmony-1-RomeroModCore.dll) I looked on the Unity3D site as well as Harmony and DMT sites but I could not find anything that mentioned how you would create a DLL file for use, or what software I needed. I gather it is a Harmony specific mod but aside from that, I am lost. For your Wandering Horde mod - is there some setting that stops the Wandering Hordes from occurring on Blood Moon night? I have configured the game to spawn 30 zombies every 4 hours. And it seems to work fine most of the time, except when I set the Blood Moon to every night (for testing). I notice in the game log that it is not spawning the hordes every 4 hours like I expected. How does the actual spawning mechanic work? Is it a case of literally every x hours a wandering horde should be spawned after Day 2? So if I set the WH period to 4 hours, would I expect 6 spawns in a 24 hour period EVERY day? Or do things like blood moon override it? Do the WH spawns still occur during the night time phase? Sorry for the questions but sometimes the AI director seems very inconsistent sometimes when it generates the Hordes. I am not using V1.6 yet btw. Still on 19.5. (Is it just me or is 7DTD v19.6 barely an update from 19.5?) thanks for your time! I actually like having Blood Moon as an option with your mod - so I probably cannot move to your V1.6 since you forced bloodmoons off now. So it means I might have to understand how you built your V1.5 DLL in case I ever needed to recompile it.....at the moment I do not even know how to view it. V Ooops one more question : If I set Logging to true in your BLOCK.XML, what effect does that have? Will I get additional information about the AI director activities? Does it send any extra log information into the main game log file ? Does not seem to make any difference when I change it from false to true. thanks! <property class="WHConfigLoad"> <property name="Logging" value="true"/> <property name="WHHours" value="4" /> <-- Does this really mean every 4 hours starting from Day 2 ( ie. 6 times a day, every day?) <property name="WHZombies" value="30" />

PS, I did a test by just removing your GAMESTAGES.XML file so it would pick up the default - and setting Blood Moon to every night. I got about 3 lone zombies each Blood Moon night and they were all walking. So that was odd. I even went out walking and there were no zombies around. So there is obviously more to it than that 🙃

Hi KhaineGB ! I do have a few more questions about your mod if you have time. 😀 Are you able to let me know more about what changes were done to GAMESTAGES.XML ? I have been comparing the files but was hoping to hear from you direct, because it is quite a long file. What I am finding that blood moon night is actually the most quiet period! I have hordes of zombies during the day and lots during a normal night, but once I get to blood moon night, it drops right off. This is especially obvious if you set the blood moon to every night. I get an initial rush, and then the rest of the night is quiet. What I am hoping to do is restore the blood moon continual rushes but using normal zombies only. So I have replaced all ferals and spider zombies with normal zombies to try and achieve that effect. But maybe your changes to GAMESTAGES are still limiting the zombie rushes. I can see you have reduced the Diminishing Returns, but I am still working out what you did with the rest of the GAMESTAGES.XML. As you noted previously - by default Blood Moon phase occurs at 7 days, even though it says DISABLED. You have to specifically change it to 0 days, as noted. I did try to get to the bottom of that and I think the game is hardwired to start the default at 7 days blood moon. So I actually restored the Blood Moon to its original setting (via the UI files) so you can enable or disable as you like, and this seems to work fine, except for the fact that Blood Moon night is quiet. I guess my question is, if I restored the original GAMESTAGES.XML to what is in 19.5, is that all I need to do to return Blood Moons to continual rushes? (given that I have replaced most SPIDER and FERAL zombies with regular zombies) This question comes up a lot: You have changed the UI to fix the Night Zombie walking speed at WALK in the menu. But at night, the zombies clearly move faster than in the day!! Are you able to let me know a little bit more about this? It is like the Blood Moon DISABLED quirk: It says WALK, you cannot change it, but they appear to almost run at night. (Which I don't mind but just want to understand a little more about how this was modified) I notice the wooden spikes are invincible against the 2 flamethrowers in my pack, and weapons as well. I can destroy them with axes, but they seem immune to other weapons. Would you know any reason for this? Sorry for all the question, but really keen to understand a bit more, rather than just reverse engineering your code and guessing.... Many thanks!!!! Vampiricon

Awesome thanks mate! Without your update, I was screwed! Thank you so much for keeping it up to date!! I pushed out the same update for my mod and it works a treat. Again, cannot thank you enough for that mod, just brilliant, it inspired me to start building my own! (My Day of the Dead pack is my first ever mod, building on top of yours). cheers V

Ah I think I found it - it's an update to the Managed files. (Hopefully nothing else!) Please let me know if you made any changes under the MOD folders. Thanks! V

Hiya KhaineGB ! Hope you are well, I have been using your mod in my Day of the Dead pack on Nexus (full credit given to you!) Awesome mod by the way! I have just registered today so I would like to give you a massive thanks! I was just wondering what changes you made to your 19.4 version to make it 19.5 compatible? I have not moved to 19.5 as I am still in the middle of changes and do not want to disrupt that yet in case 19.5 requires a lot more tweaking. It would be great if you could let me know what you tweaked to make it compatible for 19.5? many thanks! V
