They Smell You [B41]

Description
They Smell You - Blood & Dirt Attracts Zombies
Overview
Make survival more challenging with this realistic zombie attraction system! The dirtier and bloodier you get, the more zombies will be drawn to your scent. Keep yourself clean or face the consequences of attracting unwanted attention.
Features

Dynamic zombie attraction based on your character's blood and dirt levels
Realistic progression - the dirtier you are, the larger the attraction radius
Visual UI indicator showing your current blood and dirt levels (Toggle with 'F10' key)
Configurable attraction ranges and zombie spawn rates
Custom zombie sounds when they detect your scent
Separate tracking for body blood and clothing blood levels

Sandbox Options
Customize your experience with these settings:

Minimum Dirt Level - Threshold before zombies start getting attracted
Attraction Interval - How often zombies check for dirty players
Attraction Radius - How far zombies can detect dirty players
Minimum/Maximum Attraction Chance - Probability of zombies being attracted
Zombie Sound Chance - Probability of zombies making sounds when attracted
Sound Radius - How far zombie sounds can be heard

Compatibility

Works with both single player and multiplayer
Compatible with most other mods
Safe to add to existing saves


Tips

Keep clean clothes in your base for quick changes
Use water sources to wash off blood and dirt
Be extra careful when heavily wounded and bloody
Monitor your cleanliness levels using the UI
Consider the trade-off between looting longer and getting dirtier

Oh MY FUCKING GOD, THOSE SOUNDS ARE FUCKING DISQUSTING BRUH. Its like a fucking hell concert in my head bruh, DELETE THOSE SOUNDS!!!!

I don't see "Attraction Radius" in the sandbox options, only "Sound Radius". Also, is there a way to disable zombie spawns altogether? Furthermore, does an actively bleeding player and/or applied bandages becoming dirty contribute to zombie attraction? I was using Danger Zone (Scent of Blood) by OrgeLeg, but if this mod does the essentially the same and more, then I'd love to be able to reduce my modlist.

hey can you not make the default sound volume a rock concert in my ear canal thanks

Ok alright, thank you for the reply! I understand, that the sound radius IS the attraction range for smell and smell is handled as a sound. I couldn't figure it out since the tooltips only specify numbers.
I thought it is the radius in which other zombies are attracted to the scream, when one smells me, which would be a cool feature in itself. Does the scream do something to other zombies like alerting them or is it only to notify the player then?

of course :)

Nice mod.. only the sandbox settings under Dirty Attraction seem to differ from your description. There is no setting for attraction range, only sound radius. Does minimum dirty level for spawning set to 0 disable spawning? What is the detection range?

And your mod features separate tracking for blood and dirt? Will you enable separate sandbox settings for those two as well in the future? :)

Hello. To not spawn you need to put SpawnDirtLevel in 0 and SoundRadius to attraction range
