=====MAIN FILE FEATURE=====
Stealth & Verticality Fixes
- Proximity Wake-Up Distance on sleeping zombies reduced from 6 meters to 2 meters
- Vertical Height Threshold removed preventing sleeping zombies from sensing your presence through ceilings or floors
- Audio Occlusion: Enforced full sound reduction, completely blocking a sleeping zombie's ability to hear your movements through solid walls and doors.
- Unseen Damage Memory, zombies far away will no longer magically know your location when you snipe them and don't kill.
Patrol Mechanics
- Zombies will no longer stand idle for no more than 10-30 seconds, they will constantly be on the move every 0-3 seconds
- Zombie Vision has increased drastically, however their Field of view still remains narrow, Stealth is still possible.
Puppet Combat
- Puppets will no longer snap 90s degrees when under or over a certain speed, they will always be realistic and smooth
- Puppets will no longer hit you twice then give you a breather, they will punch you 4-8 times before they stop attacking you for a sec
- Puppets that are aggressive towards you now HATE you, they will follow you longer, hear you from further distances, and beat you to a pulp.
- Drifters can now HEAR up to 600 meters, this does not mean hearing you walk from 500 meters, but they will hear your gunshots.
- Drifters have a FAR greater Sight distance of 360 meters allowing them to engage you from long distances, you can now have total shootouts in fields, woods, and towns. their accuracy is sort of buns at long range, but they will engage and shoot near you, which is good enough for me.
