Mod «GhostSightB42» for Project Zomboid

Detect and visualize zombies on other floors to prevent surprise encounters in blind spots such as stairs, ladders, or window frames.

Key Features:

• Blind Spot Detection: Sense zombies on other floors or behind buildings that are normally hidden by the game system.
• Gear-Linked FOV: Limits detection range to the player's field of view. Gas masks and helmets dynamically narrow the detection angle for realism.
• 3D Stair Scan: Accurately detects targets on stairs, landings, or different levels.
• Visual Feedback: Displays outlines for zombies in direct sight and circles for targets behind walls or floors. Note: Upper floor outlines are limited by the B42 engine.
• Floor Toggles: Option to detect other floors or include the current level. Adjust settings to maintain game balance.

Mod Options:

Customize difficulty and visuals via Mod Options (Esc -> Options -> MOD tab).

• Activation: Choose when the mod is active (Always, Aiming, Sneaking, Aiming or Sneaking, Searching).
• Radius: Set scan distance (2.0 to 50.0 tiles).
• FOV Lock: Limit scan to your front view. The angle adapts to headgear.
• Occlusion: Choose Transparent, Hybrid (Stairs focus), or Strict (Vision only).
• Max Targets: Set limit for simultaneous zombie rendering (10 to 500).
• Sensitivity: Adjust detection response to zombie noise or movement.
• Style: Toggle between Circles, Outlines, or Both.
• Circle Scale: Adjust the size of floor markers.
• Z-Range: Set vertical scan depth (up to 10 floors).
• Toggles: Hide same-floor targets, show visual targets, or toggle jitter.
• Colors: Customize color and opacity for each floor level.

Multiplayer Support:

• Server Sync: Targets tracked by other players are correctly included in your view.
• Lag Info: Minor delays or desync may occur due to server load or lag.
• Admin Controls: Admins can cap radius and targets via Sandbox Options.

Precautions:

• Balance: High radius reduces tension. Balanced settings are recommended.
• Reset: The «Reset to Default» button excludes color settings to prevent B42 engine crashes.
• B42 Limits: Outlines work for vision and lower floors; upper floors are limited to circle markers.

Customization:

Change the circle design by replacing media/textures/GS_Circle.png with a custom image (256x256px PNG, transparent, no metadata recommended).
