First- I am unsure if this has been discussed or not, as I can not locate the 'search' feature for the forums . Second- Whether it will be re-added or not, I am unsure, but I figured I would post it here anyway. I remember playing PZ when it first came out a while back and that you could select how you moved (IE: button on the bottom of the screen switches between keys moving you diagonally or vert/hor with single-key presses). I would personally like to see this feature brought back as I thought it made navigation a bit better. ~WolfenRayneGames

This is a pure gameplay mod, no new items or weapons or the like. The gameplay goes like this: You don't sleep. You don't even get tired.You start with a hiking bag, a flashlight, some batteries, a hammer and some nails.During the day, zombies are blinded. You can walk right past them. They will react to sound.When night falls, not only do zombies go from being blind to eagle eyed - most of them will probably know where you are. Hopefully you spent the day wisely. The intention is for fairly high difficulty at night. Fortify yourself well, or be prepared to stay on the run for the entire night. Stable build up on pz-mods: http://pz-mods.net/gameplay/Insomnia/ Most recent test build will be here: http://insomniamod.herokuapp.com/Insomnia.zip These are currently the same. Watch this thread/OP for updates. UPDATES: March 23rd, 2015: I have put Insomnia in the proper directory structure and tested it successfully against build 31.9. Installation: For the Desura version of Zomboid, you'll need to unzip, go into the Insomnia folder and copy the media/lua/Insomnia.lua file into your source directory. For the Steam beta build supporting modloader, you can add the Insomnia folder to your mods directory and then enable the mod from the mod menu.

So I used to mod a lot with the Unreal engine, back in the Unreal Tournament (through about UT2004 days) - but since got a job, made a living programming "serious" things, etc. Zomboid, however, seems a great chance to crack back into it. I'm working on SICmod ... or Stuff I'd Change AKA Beer and Duct Tape. Basically just minor gameplay tweaks. Since I just cracked open the Lua scripts, not entirely sure what's realistic yet. But I'll use this post as a status/TBD update. Kinda working: Beer - just what you would think. It's beer. Comes in a can, refreshes thirst.Duct Tape - Repairs melee weapons in a way similar to bandages.Custom Magazines - Like normal magazines, but specific titles which you can actually learn things from.Diluted Bleach (Disinfectant)Grain Alcohol (Booze or Disinfectant)MouseTraps (Rat Traps, actually)Simpler kindling (I think having an axe or a saw is really req enough for a Park Ranger)Reloading KeyProper config / version Planned/TBD: Tons of balancing and tweaking Releases Tested against 9.15Download here: http://sicmod.herokuapp.com/SICmod.zip

Downloaded and installed Zomboid and Java this morning and I only get to see "this is how you died" (death by bashing face onto keyboard). The screen will either stay entirely black and sometimes it will show me the clock and time control even the clothing inventory but the rest of the screen is completely black. I am also including a screenshot of what happens when it cuts to black just in case it helps. How "good" a computer do you need to have to run the actual game? I have a run of the mill Toshiba from three years ago if that helps. I'm also running windows 7 if that is relevant. I didn't have any problems getting the demo to load yesterday (or playing it until 3am) but now I can't get the full game to work. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am also very tech UN-savy so please be patient and use small words with me as I will come off as an idiot but I swear it isn't to waste your time. I looked around the forums a lot on my own and I am still suffering the same problem. Maybe I just needed more guidance on the instructions from like a mod or admin.
