Hi.
FINISHED!
If any one of you find out that something doesn't work please tell me and I'll do my best to help.
Note that I'm not a master coder and there may be flaws. I have tested and tested, but I haven't encountered any.
Constructive feedback is more then welcome.
After some tricking and fiddling I finaly got it to work.
Here you will learn how to add zombies to your mod, using the module system. I will add the zombies to the native module.
There are about five zillion twists and turns on how to add them. This is one of them.
Before we move on you should take a look at JIK's module tutorial
As far as I know, the tutorial doesn't cover this part but it will help you understand the structuring of scripts.
Now, get the undead pack from Keedo420
I assume that you already have the module system and are ready to go. If not LOOK HERE
When you have downloaded Keedo420's undead pack. Unpack it and look through the folder. You should see 4 different files:
These files are necessary to implement the zombies.
Now, where do we start?
First of all you should take a look at the INSTALL note first but I'll post it here as well.
From Keedos install notes
1) Place undead.brf in your mod's resource folder.
2) Place undeadbody.dds and undeadface.dds in your mod's textures folder.
3) Open your mod's module.ini file and search for the following line:
limit_hair_colors = 1
Change to 1 to a 0 so the line looks like this:
limit_hair_colors = 0
4) Look for the following line in module.ini:
scan_module_textures = 0
Change to 0 to a 1 so the line looks like this:
scan_module_textures = 1
5) Add the following line to your mod's module.ini file:
load_mod_resource = undead
Now we have made it so that the game will scan the model and the dds files when launching.
Let's move to the part where we actually make the magic happen.
Open you module_skins.py (Edit with Idle) or use notepad++
There isn't very much in this file, so this will be easy.
First of, paste this into the tuple that says: undead_face_keys = []
Between the brackets so that it looks like this
Now go to the very bottom of the file and paste this BEFORE the last bracket, but below the female skin.
You will see an already existing undead tuple here that has been commented out using ## . I pasted over it, but I'm sure you can just ignore it and paste it below.
Module_Skins.py
Now move on to Module_Troops.py and search for bandit_face2 = man_face_older_2. Just below it you will see:
Module_Troops.py
You see all those numbers? Those numbers determine the looks of the Zombies. Replace it with this:
Module_Troops.py
Now we need to make a new troop. If you search for: Player history array and look above you will see alot that is commented out. And just below
you will see: ["quick_battle_6_player", .... etc. In between those paste this:
Module_Troops.py
so that it looks just like below.
Module_Troops.py
Now that you have the unit ready we just need to place it somewhere.
Search for: sea_raider_spawn_point_2 . Just below it paste this:
Module_Parties.py
It should now look like this.
Module_Parties.py
In Module_Party_Templates.py search for this: ("sea_raiders","Sea Raiders" .... etc.
Below it paste this:
Module_Party_Templates.py
It should now look like this:
Module_Party_Templates.py
In Module_Scripts.py search for this: #script_spawn_bandits
Under the mountain bandits tuple paste this:
Module_Scripts.py
It should now look like this.
Module_Scripts.py
Now that we have created the troop we need a dialogue for them. We will create them in Module_dialogues.py
Search for: I will drink from your skull!
Under that tuple you can add this:
Module_Dialogues.py
It should now look like this:
Module_Dialogues.py
NOTE:
Observe that I have added a new sound to the Zombie encountering: [(play_sound,"snd_encounter_zombies")]
This sound will not work and you will get an error trying to compile, IF you haven't already added it.
If you haven't, replace it with this: [(play_sound,"snd_encounter_sea_raiders")]
You can easily add a new sound by:
That's all. Then you just have to use it.
And now, the last thing we'll do is add a simple entry in Module_Constant.py
Search for: num_sea_raider_spawn_points = 2
And paste this below
Module_Constant.py
It should look like this
Module_Constant.py
AND WE ARE DONE!!
Compile and run. At Wercheg you should now see Zombies running around "disguised" as farmers.
You can tweak and twist this as much as you want. Just look through the forum for info about how to do it.

######################################NOTE:
Observe that I have added a new sound to the Zombie encountering: [(play_sound,"snd_encounter_zombies")]
This sound will not work and you will get an error trying to compile, IF you haven't already added it.
If you haven't, replace it with this: [(play_sound,"snd_encounter_sea_raiders")]
You can easily add a new sound by:
1. place a new sound in your mod's sound folder. Mine is named encounter_zombies and is of the file format .ogg
2. Add a new entry in Module_sounds.py
3. EXAMPLE: ("encounter_zombies",sf_2d|sf_vol_5, ["encounter_zombies.ogg"]),
4. Open your module.ini file and change the line
scan_module_sounds = 0
to this
scan_module_sounds = 1

Compile and run. At Wercheg you should now see Zombies running around "disguised" as farmers.
You can tweak and twist this as much as you want. Just look through the forum for info about how to do it.
