Romero Mod in actionGEORGE ROMERO ZOMBIE MOD v2.1.1 BY TOMMAHDOWNLOAD HERE*CHANGE LOG*v2.4 -removed Football zombies -removed King/Bee zombies *they were stupid and didn't follow Romero rules* v2.3 -removed all items from lockers... Take THAT! v2.2 - zombies do more damage: health items are needed again for high levels - removed Life Regeneration no matter what level you are
v2.1 - fixed prisoner zombies - fixed football zombies - fixed King zombies Now includes two different versions. ONLY PICK ONE! Only Romero Zombies Version: If you only plan to use Romero Zombies or Infinite Stamina I recommend this one. 1. Backup your files 2. Download "Romero Mod (DR3)" 3. Place into \data\gameplay\ 4. Replace existing files Mixable Version: If you have other mods you want to use, Infinite Ammo for example, this replaces completely different files not commonly used with modding the game so it should be easier to implement different mods. I recommend this one if you plan to add any kind of item/behavior/survivor mods. 1. Backup your files 2. Download "Romero Mod (DR3)" 3. Place into \data\gamemodes\ 4. Replace existing files *Issues* -Using lure-type items will crash your game. Fireworks, Flare gun, etc... Working on fixing this.Details: -Zombies are more alert and will not forget you as easily. -Only way to kill a zombie is to remove head or destroy brain. -Zombies do more damage and attack more often. -Cars are more vulnerable to zombie attacks (they aren't tanks anymore). v.2 (Only Romero Version) -Altered the probabilities to chop off heads randomly to be more realistic. Headshots from Crossbows now kill. -Zombies now survive without limbs completely, only way to kill are head shots. -No lockers to save you from the dead I recommend restarting game or reloading nearest chapter to get full effect. Some features will not take effect until a reload. GOOD LUCK!

wow! you're so fast LOL.
I have a question....what do you mean in that point: -Only way to kill a zombie is to chop it up, remove head, or destroy brain.
I don't understand what "chop it up" means XD, can you put some examples? Maybe do you mean smashing they with a car or something like that? in that case, the only whey to kill them will be the cars and fire weapons? so, you can't kill them with any mele weapon? because a katana for example can't smash a zombie and either not remove head or "destroy bran" manually... .
P.S: Do you have plans to do the food thing? i mean taht the food restores less health?

by that I meant eventually if you remove enough body parts they will die. Most melee weapons do already have a chance to smash heads, like baseball bat and hammers. Katanas and other blades have probabilities to decapitate (chop off head), killing them. So no, melee weapons are still useful but there are some that have become useless. Most furniture for instance will not smash heads unless you do a ground smash, but they do knock zombies back or to the ground.
I probably won't change food, this mod only changes zombies. If I start adding in more stuff, it will become a whole new "Mode".

Glad to see it's released! Tested it out on a fresh install with reset game progress, but there are some bugs to it. Zombies seem more alert and do a lot more damage, which is great, but zombies actually seem weaker than before in terms of health. At level 1 with no powerups or attributes, I can kill any zombie in 2-3 light swings or 2 heavy swings with any weapon. The gates in the beginning also only take 1 swing each to destroy rather than several. Makes me think something in the coding boosted weapon damage up dramatically, so even if the zombies have higher health or are tougher, it doesn't seem to matter, since it only takes 2 hits to kill them.

Mmm thats strange...i've been also testing it and i've found that the zombis are more difficult to kill, for example, with a napalm bomb or some mod weapons i can't kill it easily like always, for example I have 2 electric gauntlets that, before the mod, can kill a lot of zombis in one hit, but now, they can only electrify them, but they doesn't dies unless i cut them o smash or something like that, and the same for some other mod weapons.
In any case, i found a bug that i've been able to reproduce any time, and its involving the flare gun, any time i shoot it, the game freezes, and its something that before/without the mod, doesn't happened, so i think that something in the code has broken de flare gun. Also i was driving and then i've touched a fireworks support, and when they gonna to explote, the game freezes, and its strange because with explosive barrels or other things that also explodes i have no problems, but with fireworks, like with the flare gun, the game freezes.
And i think that the zombis does the same damage to others (npc's i mean) as they does to you, and thats a big problem LOL.

Wow, I had a blast trying this out! I'm surprised you were able to release a version so early. One of the things that annoyed me is once you got to a certain level in Dead Rising 3, Zombies could no longer get chopped in half, and get back up and attack you. It's awesome to see that this can still happen even at Level 50 now. I also really like how much more challenging the game is, because once you become maxed out, you become seriously OP. The added difficulty really made it much more fun to play again!
I tried to recreate the same crashes that alecslee had, and they happened on my end too, so those were a bit of a problem. The flare gun didn't freeze immediately for me though. I was able to shoot a flare off the roof of a safe house without issue (Into a crowd of zombies, I'll add), but when I shot off about 2-3, the game crashed out.
I'm looking forward to seeing the future progress you make!

I'll look into the issue with the flare gun. If possible, can you guys also test to see if other distraction item freeze the game? That'd help out as I'd like to get back to actually playing the game a little since I haven't beaten it yet, ha!
*edit* fireworks, rc helicopter, that teddy bear thing...

I'm not sure if your edit is about objects that you have been checked that freezes the game already, or if you are asking about them, but, in any case, like i said before in my edit, fireworks also freezes the game. I've been unable to test other objets sorry, because i haven't finished the game yet, but if i can try a little bit more, i will feedback here

Maybe you can try to fix it if you think you know what the problem is, and we can test it for you while you search about how to run your game? XD thats better than nothing i suposse.

I appreciate it, but that sounds like a terrible way to test mods... LOTS of testing, too much back and forth. I'll get it working soon.

After being recommended this mod, I thought I'd sign up personally to tell you how much I appreciate you making this mod. Accompanied by my refusal to allocate skill points into the Health Tree, this game is far more challenging. Usually I'd feel like a God amongst zombies, but after starting a new character at level 1, I now need to actually plan ahead or else I'll be surrounded and killed. Having zombies kill you in 2-3 hits is so much more immersive.
I do have a question though. If I wanted to make it EVEN more unfair, which file would I need to modify? Is it a simple edit in Notepad for instance, or do you need another program to read the files? Thanks again!

Thanks for the kind words, Romero Zombies mod was one of my favorites in DR2 but the download expired so I recreated it (and IMO improved it) for both DR2 and OTR. After fixing the FOV it was always next on my to-do list.
Depends on what you want to alter... zombie damage? The "lure" code is a little glitchy and I think that's what is causing the crashing so I wouldn't recommend that just yet. I'm reinstalling right now after my game took a dump, so I haven't been able to test in a few days. I think I know what is causing the crash but again, I haven't been able to fiddle with it. There isn't much else I know right now, but if you are interested I can get you the exact location to change the damage (at least what I'm pretty sure is damage modifier).

Yeah, zombie damage is what I'm after I want to make it ever so slightly harder so that the zombies take two bars instead of almost 2. I'm not so concerned about the luring of zombies as in the Romero world, I don't think zombies would really respond to a flare, especially if they've spotted prey already. But yeah, if you can give me the file and damage modifier to edit, and how to open it (Open With > Notepad?) that would be great. Thanks buddy.

yea, I know the vehicles are a little glitchy but this is actually good feedback as I did not know about the fire going out. (if I read that correctly)

I second the question of how to make things even more difficult if we wish, which files to edit to make user health less or zombie damage greater? Also big thanks for making this man. Lastly, could you tell me how to make zombies faster, or perhaps add that to the next version of this mod. That'd be the ultimate challenge. Thanks!

This should change the damage the zombies do... It was 1, I changed it to 1.5. Changing this one value only works with the Romero Mod, normally there would be a lot more to change, but I simplified it for the Romero Mod to just this one value. It SHOULD change the damage zombies do.

Good news! Popped off 20 flares, and zombies EVERYWHERE came for them, and formed a HUGE crowd that I blew up with an RPG. In other words, your fix definitely works! Basically like I said before, this is a MUST HAVE mod in my opinion. It adds a whole new level of challenge, and works so well for this games map layout. With that said, could you merge it with your FOV mod (As, say, an optional file)?

I updated my FOV mod so that you just need a separate bin file... is that what you're talking about?
