Description
Ebola virus Arkansas Aggressor Variant (EBOV-AAR)
or Pine Madness as the people of Arkansas called it.
Spread through rural Arkansas for months before breaking through the border into Tennessee where it further spread to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kentucky.

The U.S government set up a massive quarantine line. Houston, Indianapolis, Montgomery, and New Orleans were established military defense fronts, evacuating survivors and collecting samples.

The virus was determined to be a type of hemorrhagic virus a strain of Ebola that somehow made its way to America

STAGE 1
Bruising of the skin in large patches

Stomach Bleeding along with vomiting up blood

High Fever

STAGE 2
Weakness, fatigue
Anemia
Hemorrhaging of the blood vessels below the skin leading to parts of the skin dying and falling off
Irritability
Bloody stool
Blood vessels in eyes rupture

STAGE 3
Extreme confusion, and aggression. person may experience hallucination and delusion

The person retains some level of intelligence however they can only say a handful of words often begging the doctors not to hurt them

the infection causes issues with motor function but also causes a huge spike in adrenaline production, causing muscle strength to go unregulated.
some of the people infected will run while others will walk
and some will crawl across the ground at high speeds, they often hurt themselves while doing this.

<wzzt>

<bzzt>

<bzzt>

They just don't stop.
Not when their blood is drained, body cold, muscles atrophied.
Once their eyes were filled with pain, anger, and fear.
now there is nothing.
Just an empty home, with the lights off.

I haven't heard any crying or whimpering sounds, the closest are dying light's virals. but most of their sounds are of aggression, maybe you could search some sound libraries, make them yourself or hire voice actors. (if you can of course)

Im doing exacly that, thank you!!!

Oh yeah, there are a surprising amount of textures.
Remember to take advantage of brushes and opacity to make blood.

Gimp has a brush that looks like a splatter, and I reduce the opacity, to create a sort of gradient for the blood.
Without gradient blood can look too cartoony.

Krita should have a similar thing.

Im using Krita (maybe Ill change to GIMP later) and using your humanized zomboids mod as base, im making them mad and full of blood depending on the stage of infection. when Im done, Ill let you know and Ill show you, this is going to take some time tho I didnt know there was that much textures. I guess that its time to enjoy the process. Thank you for letting other people create their own things with your creations, thats awesome.

You could give it a shot.
I have a tutorial in one of my collections.

It would likely be easier to start from scratch with a photoediting software.

ok I was checking the files and they are not rage virus lore friendly for me to work on them but they still look cool af
Eliasas 24 Jul @ 7:35pm 
hey man, I think Im going to make it myself, Ill use your textures but Ill keep it to me like a personal mod if that doesnt bother you, if you give me your permission I could post it obviously giving you credit
Eliasas 24 Jul @ 6:27pm 
oh thats cool, im waiting for the b42 update. if you use exactly this textures to make a Rage virus retexture with angry faces that would be dope

Making them not angry was actually an intentional design choice.

The Rage infected have a form of Rabies, they are disoriented, and hyper aggressive.

Pine Maddness infected, are scared, and confused. Crying, and whimpering is something I want to add as the sounds they make.
Their aggression comes from the fact they aren't the one at the wheel anymore, something is puppeting them while they feel all the pain.

I tried to make them have a worried expression in the earlier stages, then mute their expression in the later stages to make them appear blank.
