New in v1.9:
New Features------------
- A pile of new configurations added, a bit of a mess at the moment, to be resolved once new feature reorganization happens- Old extra spawning via 'maxZombiesNight' still exists, but 2 new per player only spawning ways exist:-- Surface spawning: will spawn zombies from nothing randomlyish around you on the topmosts blocks at night (might violate some spawn rules, carefull)-- Cave spawning: depends on existing zombies, will duplicate a new zombie like the old 'maxZombiesNight' but is for caves, more event based, intelligent cave spawning systems will become preset in Hostile Worlds and this feature will remain random-- Lots of ways to configure it, see the standard /config command way-- Also has an option to make them 1 time auto target the player they're spawning near without needing omnipotence on all the time
- Ability to switch to csv list of Entities, as well as a way to switch the list between whitelist and backlist, use the the console debugs to see if your list is properly ticking on the entities you want, /za list helps you see the naming you need to use, this should help enable use of ZA on mod entities more, if they use vanilla path following ways
- New 'per player' based configuring option have been added in an attempt to make it more customizable for servers but requires admin to config:-- Senses (sound, blood) -- New extra surface spawning-- New extra cave spawning
- Client side only configs: render blood, show debug visual of senses in world (shows their strength in size too)- A bunch of other small improvements I've forgotten
- Future planI don't like that I have to adjust the settings of ZA to more intense as I progress in the game, theres a flow issue..... So I'm going to take my player rating calculating code from Hostile Worlds and add it to ZA to dynamically update the 'difficulty' of ZA around you, and a way to the client player to tell the server they want features on like extra spawning (some really hate that stuff entirely)Hopefully this will make ZA only a little active when you are just starting out, and as you get awesome armor etc, ZA updates the challenge appropriately in its passive non event based way of doing its stuffNo ETA on when I'll do this, basically when the right kind of motivation hits me
New in v1.85:
New Features:- Zombies get a slight randomized speed buff (configurable)- Added option for surface zombie spawn delay- Ops can change any config ingame with /za command (restores config file setting on restart)
Bug fixes:- Fixed random blood showing up- Removed limit on max scents, random chance and max spawn time of 1 minute keeps the total amount of them down.- Fixed concurrent modification exceptions for good, CoroAI pathfinding uses a maintained world cache now- Lots of self correcting fixes added to CoroAI PFQueue for better long term dedicated server functionality
New in 1.8:
