A prototype of Project Zomboid for the PC.

Notes

• For the build to work, JRE 7 is required, which can be found here.
• According to PZwiki: "The binaries for this build were infected with something. The executable files immediately flagged my AV with some serious results. I removed the executable files, replaced the DLLs with clean versions from Project Zomboid (Jun 29, 2012 prototype) and added the custom bat file I set up for the other builds. After all this it needed to be re-cracked (which shouldn't happen, since PZ needs to be cracked by editing the java files - not the executable), so I'm almost 100% sure the original executable was a fake crack. I you're going to run this, please absolutely do it in a VM."
• Changelog:
  • NPC tweaks to hopefully make them less hopeless (though don't expect them to be Bear Grylls):
    • Why are you trying to pathfind through trees, you fools?!
    • Tweaked flee behavior to avoid 'stand there looking stupid getting eaten' issues. Will now favor a close range pathfind instead of opposite side of map, for quicker results.
    • tweaked pathfind manager to put pathfind jobs on empty threads to reduce wait time for NPCs to get long pathing results
    • Factored in danger rating of tiles for short range fleeing.
    • Found intriguing bug where NPCs stand waiting for a pathfind to complete that's not in the system any more (must have failed or completed) no known cause yet but intriguing and may help a LOT if fixed.
    • Fixed bug with 'obtainitem' behavior where character would go to all the buildings he plans to search before actually searching any of them.
    • NPCs no longer collide with pushable objects (for now) so they don't get stuck on them.
  • changed zombie spawn. If it still goes weird I literally have no clue what's up.
  • Fixed hammer sound glitch.(This is still not fixed)
  • Modders: ZombRand(a, b) now changed to ZombRandBetween(a,b) due to conflict issue.
  • Zombie start density closer to q levels (though a bit higher and still looking for spawn bugs)
