Description:

Another take on Night/Day zombies! One of my nit picks with the night/day mods I’ve tried thus far, is the timing of the lore shift from day to night isn’t always accurate year-round. Sometimes the zeds will start sprinting hours before or sometimes even hours after it gets dark!

This mod allows you to create differing night and day zombie behaviors that will change based on a brightness level of the sun, that you select!

BIG shoutout to @The Illuminati, creator of Night Sprinters [41.60+] (link below), for letting me use their mod as a starting/reference point!

Currently untested in multiplayer, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, so please do let me know if there are any issues there as well.

KNOWN ISSUES

Problem – Setting any of the zombie selections to ‘random’ will cause them to randomly change states every few seconds.
Why it’s happening – The mod works by reading the surrounding zombie’s state every few seconds, and making sure their settings are what they should be. So what’s happening is the zombies are getting assigned a new, random setting, every update tick.

No timeline on when I’ll be able to get out a fix for this, but I’ll get it out as soon as I’m able!

FUTURE PLANS

-Option for zombies to seek shelter during the day
-Option for weather to effect zombie lore
-Working towards compatibility with Random Zombies

This is my first mod so please let me know if you come across any bugs or issues and I’ll look into it and see what I can do.
