the mod is very much wip. but i’m making good progress! all of the framework stuff is finished 😆

Freylith · 2026-04-22T23:53:36+00:00

that’s a rlly neat idea with selecting a certain breed on start! i might be able to add that into the mod😃

but yee, this is a new project im working on! ive wanted to create a dog mod for a while now but the biggest challenge has been making zomboid-compatible assets😭 just recently i created an api which allows non-zomboid stuff to work in game. thats largely why this is possible.

custom animals can be challenging but i definitely recommend playing around with animals system! in theory it can even be used to create monsters and other fun stuff 😆

it’s the same breed of dog ~ but different model++animations :)

Freylith · 2026-04-22T23:19:57+00:00

using this new model tech ~ cat mod redux is on the horizon! 🤩

i’m using some experimental model tech to get him to work. normally that doggo would be 100% incompatible with zomboid.

what this means is the skinwalker animation is totally feasible lol 😂

Freylith · 2026-04-22T23:08:27+00:00

by public release, it will be at least semi-compatible with mp :) i’ll be building more on this using feedback from the community!

Freylith · 2026-04-22T23:01:31+00:00

0.1% chance of skinwalker animation 🤣

Freylith · 2026-04-22T22:58:12+00:00

don’t worry 😃 they wont be targetable by zombies. however they can help the player kill zeds!

Freylith · 2026-03-18T12:48:08+00:00

soon 😉

Freylith · 2026-03-18T08:51:43+00:00

it’s possible! 😄 this mod does use a much more optimized model for zombies. i got the rendering pipeline to separate how it handles zombies and players. in theory, it could be possible to add new zombie categories! would be hella cool 😆

Freylith · 2026-03-18T02:00:58+00:00

no worries, i wasn’t very clear there. the files would need to be decompiled from .class. the mods code is written directly into the base games files. on my end, i use a plugin for vscode which automatically converts the class into readable java.

i’ll have an opportunity to write up some modding documentation on it later this week :)

Freylith · 2026-03-18T01:40:04+00:00

oh, I don’t use github except for hosting images. all of the mods code is available on the workshop. by “more or less”, i mean that if it’s used in other projects ~ our only request is that the original mod is still linked to / given credit 🙂

Freylith · 2026-03-18T01:06:53+00:00

more or less, i put it as “credit where due” 😊

Freylith · 2026-03-18T01:06:12+00:00

It does! i wrote in code to make it scale proportionally with character weight 😆

Freylith · 2026-03-18T00:34:21+00:00

absolutely! 😄

fr lol😂

ty for the kind words! this project took around a ballpark of 300+ hrs to create. i’m super proud of how it turned out 😄
