Just wondering if anyone else used this with the Trash and Corpses mod before? I used the Only Trash and Skeletons Without Clothes option and I got zombie skeletons! Thought it was funny.

Does this mod allow for a zombie speed that is between that of a fast shambler and a sprinter?

@challenger man for solo, the base game only lets you set sandbox options at the creation of the world, but there are mods to edit sandbox options in an existing save, like this one for B41 (you can find one for B42 as well) https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670674997

Hey man, that's a great mod! I was wondering if we could edit settings for a solo save. I've been trying to look for "SandboxVars.lua file" but it doesn't seem to appear in the folder.

@aizen thank you for your reply, glad it's working now! have fun :)

@belette hi, I run on b41! apparently I was just dumb and was able to fix it. The issue stems from the mod not being added to the Steam Workshop mod setting when editing the world settings while hosting. It works fine in solo because the mods are automatically integrated into the game. A lot of the people here probably just added the mod directly in the mod settings tab in their own server and not on the steam workshop as well. Not a bug just a skill issue

with this mod can i adjust the frequency of it kind of zed based on time alive? i mean, is possible to configure to zombies become smarter, tougher and faster after x days

@aizen I've seen people report this lately, so it's probably a bug in this mod due to some recent change in PZ. I cannot repro on my end though, so it would be useful if you could tell me exactly what you're running (PZ version, solo/dedicated/in-game hosted? if in-game hosted, are you the host?) and if you can repro the bug in a new game with only this mod enabled.

all add up to 100% but still many sprinters spawn while hosting. it seems like the issue is due to the zombie lore. Looks like it overrides the random zombies mod, because if you set the zombie lore to "random" in hosting majority of the zombies are sprinters. If i set it to proper zombies, not a single sprinter spawns (even if i set the mod to 100% sprinter). Hoping for a fix, thanks!

make sure that your sprinters/shamblers/fast shamblers all add up to 100 percent @amthonys or else it will make all zombies sprinters

im having an issue when hosting where all the zombies are sprinters

amazing mod, just have a problem. why on mp there's more sprinters than what i set it on? i set the sprinter percentage to 5% alr, put zombie lore on random, and yet sprinters appear like 80 - 90% when playing. it works on solo on sandbox, but on mp its weird. thanks

If youre hosting a MP server and u want the opption to appear the Menu youre suppose to make sure its "enabled " on is the FIRST menu where you see the guy holding his wife, after u enable it in the VERY FIRST MOD menu itll appear i had to re-read the desc multiple times but they are reffering to that menu

@qtica the author of Night Sprinters made it so when the 2 mods coexist, RZ is disabled during the night so I guess there’s an issue somewhere if you’re not seeing sprinters at night. Looks like the mod hasn’t been updated in 2 years, maybe it’s not compatible with the version of Zomboid you’re running? Does it work on its own?

Does this work with Night Sprinters? I added Night Sprinters except they don't sprint at night.. I am assuming this is the reason it overwrites all values?

Perhaps there's something wrong with me here. I'll try again.

@belette that worked, tyvm... Working perfectly

@Ling Mod works fine in a new sandbox game. Please don't make such claims without providing precise steps to reproduce the issue.

@Reanu Keeves @leotitanic Make sure the mod is enabled at the main menu. I updated the mod description to include that.

@HighClarity in general, the only guarantee about switching zombie types is that they won't change while they're in your "simulation radius" (which is in the order of 5x your vision radius). As soon as they move out of the sim radius, they can change type, mostly due to how the game recycles irrelevant zombies to make the new relevant ones.

I have not been able to find the Random Zombies tab on the Sandbox options. Nor can I find anything about it when opening the SandboxVars.lua file

Is it possible for a discovered zombie’s speed to change? Is it possible to kill all sprinters in a town if sprinters are set to 5% for example? Let’s say I wipe all the sprinters in Rosewood, If I go far away then come back, is there a chance that some of those leftover zombies can convert to sprinters?

I downloaded and added the mod to my world but the Random Zombies tab wont show up what do I do

@Rem, tried this mod in MP. it works

Is this mod compatible in MP? Thanks!

can you customize time period for night activity zombies speed with this mod?

Lol thanks anyway @belette solved it as you posted that

Nevermind! I solved it. Sorry to notify you.
In case anyone else is having the same problem:
For the sandbox configs to show, you have to have the mod enabled both for the server and in your mod browser.

@coolsea If you're hosting in-game, you have to enable mods at the main menu for their sandbox options to show up. Blame the devs :P

Update: Tried to add Night Sprinters to the server, sandbox config for that didn't show either.

Hey, I'm trying to make a server (hosted in game) with this mod on it, but i'm not able to find the config files anywhere, not in game or inside my SandboxVars. Can you help?

Te deja customizar el comportamiento de los zombis segun sea noche o dia? Esto estaria brutal!

is this multipayer?

@Fishywillow that sounds pretty scary! Can you give me more info? I would need to know your PZ version number, solo / multiplayer (dedicated or hosted in-game?), do you have other mods enabled?

Changing the population to high made damn near most of the zombies sprinters on a new save. Horrified me when a car alarm went off

If you have miscalculated speed or durability instead of deleting that save... You can download Change Sandbox Options, enable it on the save and change those numbers in game, quit and reload the game

I don't remember if i did write that here or it got deleted we did had it on but it just didn't appeard before the server restart.

If "Random Zombies" doesn't show up in your server settings, that means you don't have the mod enabled in your own mod settings.

Is it possible to add customizable zombie speed?
Like in "Zambies"?

I tried to play with it, but crawler stun lock makes this mod completely broken.

sadly this doesn't help we already tryed it

@Kawaii Tentacles you can try enabling the mod at the main menu

Hello,sometimes "random zombies" tab do not shows in server settings is there a fix?

If you manage to reproduce the bug in debug mode (-debug in Steam launch options), please refer to the "I am not seeing the exact number of sprinters I configured" section the FAQ in the mod description and send me the 5 files generated while the bug was happening.

@jorge what is your Project Zomboid version? Are you playing singleplayer, in-game hosted multiplayer (are you the host?) or dedicated multiplayer? Does it also happen in a new game with only this mod enabled?

First of all, great mod. But, unfortunately, I keep having this issue (related before by some people) where I start a new game and everything runs fine with the settings, but then, after a couple minutes, every zombie chasing me is a sprinter. I would like to know what can be done to correct this. Thanks in advance.

@Don not a dumb question, it works. You can safely enable/disable this mod in an existing save.

Dumb question, but does it work in a existing save?

@gg4AJ.wav it always overwrites speed, and only overwrites toughness and cognition if you've set them to non-default values in the Random Zombies settings (for backwards-compatibility reasons). Nothing else.

I really like this mod to add variety to the speed of a horde.

But I am curious, does the mod override what transmission setting you have on zombie lore?

As in, will it always override transmission settings to default blood+saliva?

@Artic Chila I added facilities for other mods to disable/enable Random Zombies at dusk/dawn, the Night Sprinters mod did it that way. That would be the easiest/cleanest solution imo

I posted also in the other mod but I'd like compability with the mod Sprinter's night :) I tried putting Sprinter's night after this mod in load order but they won't sprint at night, I think this mod overrides the sprinter mod

Everything is working fine for me. I'll need more info, like PZ version number and a screenshot of your Random Zombies settings. If you're experiencing this issue, please try to recreate the issue in a new game with ONLY this mod enabled.
