Technical Details
The sense of smell is simulated by collecting information on the characters condition and location and using this to generate a ‘scent profile’. This profile is used to determine the structure of a dynamic scent trail that follows the player. This scent trail is made up of nodes that pulse inaudible sounds towards the player from their previous locations.
The zombies are attracted to the trail behind you. The trail spreads out and fades away over time.
The trail spreads far in the outdoors, lingering in one area too long can be dangerous.
A sealed vehicle and most buildings will mask your scent from zombies outside.
Rain and snow will present opportunities to move undetected.
Being in the open is dangerous and your scent will spread further, don’t stop moving.
There are other ways to mask your scent as well, you must discover these for yourself…
Use the Smell Meter to track your scent (Right Click), if it is enabled in the Sandbox options.
You will be hunted in the open.
Sandbox Settings Breakdown:
Flatulence System:
If enabled the flatulence system will be engaged and players are at risk of farting.
Farts may occur when player weight is increasing or if the player has mild stomach sickness.
Audible Flatulence:
If enabled the flatulence audio system will engage and you will hear audible farts.
Allow Meter:
If enabled the player can right click in the world and enable the ‘Smell Meter’ to gauge their own scent.
This meter reveals the scale of the players scent with a dial and scent description.
It also indicates if the player scent is covered by a building or sealed vehicle.
Log Debug Information:
If enabled the mod will log debugging information to the console.txt file. This can be useful for diagnosing bugs.
Reduce Scent Profile Resolution:
If enabled scent profile data will be collected every 10 in-game minutes instead of every 1 in-game minute.
Untested: Will slightly reduce CPU use, may increase difficulty slighty by delaying building/car detection, may reduce fart intensity.
Admin will have scent:
If enabled then admins on multiplayer servers will have scent profiles and will be tracked by Zombies.
Debug will have scent:
If enabled then players running the debugger will have scent profiles and will be tracked by Zombies.
Chance for flatulence:
If the flatulence system is enabled this determines the chance of a fart when a fart chance is rolled.
The chance is out of 1 million. The entry ‘1000000’ is a 100% chance of a fart when rolled.
Scent spread distance multiplier:
All scent node radii will be multiplied by this number. Increases difficulty.
Scent spread Max radius (Meters):
All scent node radii will be clamped within this maximum radius. Reduces difficulty.
Scent spread Min radius (Meters):
All scent node radii will be clamped within this minimum radius. Increases difficulty.
How to Reduce Your Scent
Cover your face with a mask that filters the air you exhale.
Cover your hands with latex gloves and keep them intact, zombies can smell your hands.
Wear underwear and socks to reduce your scent, zombies can smell your sweat.
Hiding in buildings or sealed vehicles significantly masks your scent, move quickly between them.
Use rain, snow and heavy fog to mask your scent as you move through the open.
Use perfume or cologne to mask your scent while outdoors during clear weather.
You will be hunted in the open.
