Yes, the damage texture changes don't mess with the actual zombie textures.
Only the overlays.

guessing this works fully with your retextures too?

That'd have to come from the folk who make the custom zombie models. I only how how to mess with textures, the people who make custom models are currently wizards to me.

Cool idea, but perhaps any way to get the actual molded from the game as some sort of special infected? (less spawn rate)

epic

Yes

Does Human Zed mod you made work with this?

That box is gonna be the cause of the zombie apocalypse

The mold on the zombies reminds me of the forgotten cardboard box in the garage that has been soaked for months and is falling apart XD

I'll try my best

You're doing a really good job! Keep it up man!

Yes
It works with every re-texture

so would this work with the scary scary zombies mod?

Had some help, from the person who made the Last of us mod

They taught me how to display textures in blender

I really like this! Also I like the new way you are representing this

Thonk

Great

Sure that could work, I can’t wait to see after it’s done :)

I'm no coder
Someone much more talented than me is going to have to code a gore function

However
What I can do
Is increase the gore and visibility of the mold damage

Bullet holes are already a thing they just aren't very noticeable
Which I could change

Man this looks cool but can you make something where when you shoot or hit the zombies with a gun or melee, it leaves a hole in their body or pierces it for the guns depending how many bullets or how strong the force of that bullet is. And for the melee if its strong such as machetes and katana, their arm, leg, torso either gets cut off or leaves a huge mark on their body. If u can tho :)

They always have been

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the zeds are bread!

Yeah, they go from ZedBody 1 to 2 to 3
every zombie has 3 rot textures
EXCEPT M_ZedBody03

for some reason that specific zombie only has 1 rot texture

Oh cool...I know completely unrelated to your mod but do the zeds actually "rot" as time passes?

Nah, that's Just M_ZedBody01_level3 who I took from my textures folder for the demonstration

Ooh, okay. The last one looks all bruised and emaciated I thought it might have been a modded texture.

I'm using the default zombies that I yoinked from the media folder of Zomboid. I figured it was best to show them on the default zeds

This is amazing. What zombie skin textures are you using in the screenshots with it?

Absolutely, I can give you a full rundown of how to make one

can you tell me how to make a zombie skin mod like this?

The mold grows stronger

I've just realized thanks to this.That the acronym for my name is BOB
I find that hilarious

the mold consumes us all

another front page banger from BOB

Resident Evil 7 players be loving this one

thank you!

I displayed it in blender

I tried so hard to get a good image but photo compression makes it nearly impossible

I could overlay the texture onto the texture of a zombie if that works

could we see what it looks like on zombies?

The mold is hungry

when the mold is all-consuming!

True

guh???

I'm glad people enjoy it

I think I'll try fiddling with the damage textures more in my spare time
Maybe improve the existing ones

scary

love it!

ooooooooooo

this looks great

zombie damage retextures could have a lot of potential for mixing with other reskins, i like this idea!
