[2023] Zombie Revamp

Originally posted by thestile: I would love to have more zombie variety. They were going to do that years ago but there was said to be performance issues with all the zombie variety, so things were kept simplified. If i'm not mistaken.

Correct. The original UMA system was supposed to allow for much more variety on zeds. Random features and clothing for each one. However it was so poorly optimized that once enabled to it's full extent, you could only have like 10 entities alive at once before it started lagging a high-end system.

Now that UMA has been replaced with a much better optimized system, maybe we will see some more variety added. No promises though, as TFP might just leave this to the modding community.

@OP... Zeds can climb. They make "human" ladders as well. You may find hostile animals climbing as well. This is in the game already.

Zed sounds, I agree. we need more variety. This is something I hope they do focus on close to Beta.

If you remove the Bloodmoon sounds and effects, then what is the point?
