I made this animation to practice and improve my skills before starting a much bigger project.

The next project will feature multiple characters, survival, voice acting, better animation, and a much bigger story (similar to The Walking Dead and The Last of Us), and I will be using extinction mode, where some zombies run and some don't, similar to the vid above

If that sounds interesting, subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss the short film when it’s released!

Still building out the second floor, but I've been truly enjoying b42 stable having not played much since b41. Also, I didn't want to completely overhaul and renovate too much of the main gun store lobby in memory of a true legend (RIP Stendo), just add to it to make it feel like a truly repurposed space for a survivor.

Question My Military bunker.... has no zombies?

The main level had its fair share (a little less than expected, but still alot) and I got all geared up for the hordes that awaited me below, and there's none? I opened a few doors, checked all the floors, shouted, fired a shotgun... and nothing. There also weren't any on the journey over which was definitely wierd.

Its normal pop zombies 2 weeks in, a few mods but nothing pertaining to the zeds themselves. Its free loot ig, I was just spoiling for a fight. Anyone else experience this?

Question I know I’m infected- (insert hand on shoulder meme here)- but I’m just confused as to how?

Post image
Upvotes

I got jumped by a sprinter after stepping outside of my RV and got a neck laceration, I quickly knocked the zombie down, went back inside my RV, disinfected my wound and bandaged it up. I assumed you couldn’t get infected from scratches and generally just wounds that you disinfect first before bandaging, unless the neck laceration is an exception?

Modded [B42] The window sheet only covers the top half of tall windows. A lot of you asked me to fix that, so I did

Upvotes

After the Fence Sheets post, the most requested thing by a mile was fixing the vanilla window sheet, which only covers the top half of tall windows and storefront glass. So here it is.

Add Sheet works as normal. If the window is bigger than the vanilla sheet, the one that goes up is cut to the size of the glass and blocks sight over the whole pane.

B42, safe on existing saves.

Imagine this banjo cover kicking in when things work out for you when they definitely shouldn't be. Wasn't sure what flair would be best, but I guess we'll do the shitpost one.

What's a time when something worked out for you that shouldn't have?

Saw a post today about gps position sharing between devices, and now I have an external mini map on my wrist

Howto: It’s a projectzomboidmap.com feature, but since we don’t have a browser on Apple Watch, I am sharing my position to my iphone, then streaming it to my apple watch via babycam app

Rate my setup please

Ever since B42 came out, my preference in bases have completely shifted to basements exclusively. They are just so cozy, easy to manage and easy to secure. Anyone have a favorite basement?

Made My first mod!

I kept waiting for someone to make this mod and last night i finally said how hard could it be ... anyway it's 7 am .. and my eyes hurt but ...

it's now possible to brew multiple coffees pour them into a canteen and take it WITH YOU!!

you can fill a barrel with coffee if you want, mix it with milk and have the ultimate drink, add some whiskey make it Irish .. never sleep again!

it only works with the coffee from the coffee machine though and you can't add condiments but who cares ..

backup your save the last thing i need is guilt, hope you like it.

Discussion Please fix the despawn bug!

109 Upvotes

Sorry if i sound a bit angry but im getting quite frustrated with this... we have waited for b42 for such a long time and i still continue to wait due to this bug, since i already "bricked" one save

How is this not a top priority thing to fix and patch? Its literally gamebreaking when hundreds if not thousands of zombies just "randomly" vanish all the time.
The modding community has already found and fixed the issue almost 2 weeks ago but it requires a very intrusive program because it needs to change core gamefiles.

More people need to be loud about this because this is kinda silly for how long we have been waiting for a fix
