Mod «Reactive Sound Events» for Project Zomboid

Reactive Sound Events
A complete overhaul of the meta-event system. Sounds now react to the world, spawn physical scenes you can investigate, and tell a story through a new survivor radio station. The sounds adapt to time, weather, location, and your playstyle.
When you hear a distant sound, something actually happened there. Go find out what—if you dare.
Scene Types

• Gunfight: Battle aftermaths with weapons and ammo.
• Vehicle Crash: Wrecked cars with lootable trunks and gloveboxes.
• Campsite: Campsites and evidence of other survivors.
• And more...

On-Screen Sound Indicator A directional marker shows where the sound came from. It is customizable and also appears when you enter a scene radius.

• Directional: The marker points toward the sound source.
• Customizable: Adjust color, opacity, and duration in Mod Options.
• Scene Radius: Appears when you get close to a scene.
