how do i manually install it...

didn't checked
it's possible that b42 supported instantly, but you have to try it in local game (check that it works and game don't crash) also it may work but new animations may break (if there any).
if it won't work, please write here and i will try to find some time to support b42

b42 supported?

@k1osha As far as I know part of the problem with the base game is that it checks within a radius around the targeted zombie rather than around the player. Although in addition to that, the 1.7 radius might be a bit too small as well (and much too small vs sprinters)

no, it may be required to reinstall mod after game update, but never after game closing

do i have to reinstall the mod every time, after i close the game?

@xdikrabx go and delete the file that you added to your zombie directory, then in steam validate the files.

Ok but how do I turn it off now lmao....

PLEASE WHAT HE SAID AT LEAST TELL US HOW TO LOWER THE NUMBER OF DISTANCE ALSO THANK YOU THIS IS SO USEFUL

I don't want it removed, just make it trigger increased the distance between zombies, for regular even +1 tile would be enough to avoid close calls and for sprinters 8-10 tiles would also be enough, but 100 tiles is just unnecessary. The animation is good, it's the only part of the spear that is immersive/realistic/balanced, it just needs polish and this sadly isn't it for me.

Most likely no, this mod works next way:
In vanilla game stab animation of a spear won't be triggered if there's a zombie in a 2 cells from you. This mod makes that value to be 100 cells, so, animation can be triggered, but only you hit 1 zombie and there's no others around in radius of 100 cells

After install the mod，sometimes i still trigger the stab，and after this repeat several times，i will stuck in the aim state，the only thing i can do is move,i need to quit the game to back to normal.is this cause by the mod？

i didn't separately checked this but this mod should be compatbile with any mod with two exceptions:
1. other mod chaning same game file as mine
2. other mod creates new weapon type and not using vanilla "Spear" type
Actually i never saw these 2 conditions so probably you'll be fine with any mod

is this compatible with somw?

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY THANK CHRIST FINALLY I've been trying to get rid of this for AGES but didn't successed. I hated this broken op ass weapon with passion thank you kind sir for balancing it.

Yes, stab animation just won't be triggered so you won't be locked in animation

Does this mod disable the "animation lock" on MP too?
