Description

Zombies freeze in place and become silent when looked at unless attacked or the character is too close

The idea for this mod was once voiced by @Retanaru[www.twitch.tv], so here we are

Info

Attacked zombies will unfreeze and turn into sprinters
Zombies won't freeze if it is too dark (B42 only, Enabled by Default)
Zombies that manage to get very close to the character become sprinters (Enabled by Default)
The moment the zombie and character spot each other, the zombie becomes a sprinter (Disabled by Default)
Recommended to play with Zombie Count: High/Insane and Hearing: Pinpoint

Notes

Can be added/removed to/from existing saves
Should be compatible with any mod. Put it last in the load order if you have mods which alter vanilla zombie animations
Optionally you can change zombie appearance with something like Mannequins. (re-texture) by @Festivized Endy
Wasn't tested in Multiplayer (not sure if will work at all)
Zombies are not frozen during actions like "vaulting the fence" or "turning" to avoid them bugging out
The performance impact should be minimal and only noticeable with hundreds of zombies present on screen, 10 to 15% the moment you see shadow people (that's over 500 zombies in the field of view)
It was supposed to be released two months ago, sometimes "perfectionism == bad"

Have fun!

A thumbs up helps with the mod's discoverability, thank you if you left one
Check my other mods, maybe you'd like some of them

@Kaldreth it is possible, I plan to do a code cleanup soon and might implement option for this as well.

Would it be possible to make them freeze only in the light, as an option? Doesn't matter if a player is looking. I know it's outside the initial concept, but this would be a better version of "Fear the light". I'm imagining running a 100% sprinter game with high population, where being in the dark is death.
