Mod «Dynamic Horde Events B42» for Project Zomboid

Dynamic Horde Events adds highly configurable incoming zombie horde events to Project Zomboid. This mod is designed to bring back pressure, danger, and unpredictability without turning every day into a constant zombie flood.

Core Features

• Random Horde Events: At configurable time intervals, a horde can spawn at a distance from the player and begin moving toward them. Configurable options include minimum and maximum time between events, horde size, spawn radius, cooldown, night-time spawning rules, and attraction radius/volume.
• Wandering Horde Events: These hordes spawn on one side of the player and move toward a point beyond the player’s area, potentially passing through or near your location. Staying quiet allows them to pass; making noise (shooting, driving, using loud tools) attracts them.
• Survivor Voice Lines: Your character reacts with short, random voice lines when a horde approaches. This feature can be disabled in sandbox options.
• Direction Indicator: A visual warning displays the horde's direction, distance, zombie count, and event type.
• Warning Sound: An audio cue plays when a horde is incoming, giving you time to prepare defenses, grab weapons, or retreat.
• Horde Size Scaling: Hordes can scale over time based on survived days or months. Settings include scaling mode (Off/Days/Months), interval, multiplier per interval, and maximum multiplier cap.
• Cataclysm Horde Event: A rare, ultra-hardcore event occurring after a long survival period (configurable minimum/maximum days). It features separate settings for enable/disable, zombie count, spawn radius, warning duration, and attraction parameters.
• Cataclysm Weather: Triggers dramatic weather changes during a Cataclysm Horde, including tropical storms, heavy rain, strong wind, fog, darker atmosphere, and desaturated screen effects.

Performance Notes

Large hordes, especially Cataclysm ones, may affect performance depending on system specs, zombie settings, map location, and other mods. For a smoother experience, reduce maximum horde size, Cataclysm maximum zombies, attraction radius, or spawn frequency.

Compatibility & Build

Tested on B42.17. Multiplayer support is included but may have unresolved issues. Generally compatible with other mods.
