Introduction:

• This mod seeks to add a bit of realism into the ZombApoc without being overbearing or ruining the fun. This mod does not focus on one area of the game but instead touches many areas of the game at the same time (hence why so many files). Some of these areas get touched heavily, others not so much. When I started building this mod I simply wanted to correct a few things that irked me about the game. I would be lying if I said the fake made-up names of the guns didn't drive me crazy, even if I understand why it had to be done. Well I ain't Undead Labs so out with those funky names. From there I just went about fixing a bunch of things here and there. A lot of research went into the mod, especially the encumbrance changes. Some of the items in the game were fine, but many had just crazy encumbrance. Those have now been given their real weights (Yes, the M107 now weighs over 20lbs.). In the end, I wanted to make something that would increase the fun of this game.

Features of V0. 02: (For specific info, readme included in download is best. The below information is truncated)

You can now choose 3. The Special Technique Specialization System has been reworked. You are NO longer required to choose 1 Special Technique Specialization!

Increased effectiveness of the Rage Specialization. It will be more useful now, especially at level three.

The stamina loss numbers from sprinting and sprinting while encumbered have been redone to give more benefit to later levels of Cardio

Falling Damage has been redone! Fall up to 20ft before ultimate pain. Falling Damage was never able to kill you, only drop you to 1HP. I wouldn't suggest testing that out now. Jump farther than 20ft? Its going to probably kill you.

Anything under 20 feet is fair game, not to say it might not..sting. Stealth Kills give Wits XP now.

Kill a Juggy or Feral and get Wits XP!

The Flashlight has been boosted. It should be a bit brighter and light up a bit more area now.

All firearms have had their names changed to their real world versions.

All firearms now have their correct real world weights.

All firearms have had their 'in game' names put into their description text (the part below the name) to aid you in finding it on the Wiki.

The noise of guns has been redone..completely. It was a bit..silly.

Default Fire-Mode Fix Original Credit: Last Post The damage of all guns has been reworked to be more realistic, within the limits of the game.
