Current git branch: https://github.com/Reaper42/Cataclysm-DDA/tree/hordes
PR: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8108
Text version for windows: http://rghost.ru/56817399
Tiles version for windows: http://rghost.ru/56817429 (DLLs if you lost them http://46.102.243.119/public/CDDA-deps.zip)

Most features not included in main code. (And probably will not be included)

Features:
-Hordes wander randomly around cities
-React hordes to sound
-React hordes to light
-Check light indoor/outdor
-Hordes visible on overmap
-Show size,direction and speed of horde on map.
-React hordes to smell and track. (Add track map)
-Player leave tracks on overmap.
-Removing tracks every 20 min by rain - 50% tracks, by sunny - 5%, in other cases - 1%.
-Hordes move and get signals between opermaps
TODO:
-Check light indoor. (Invisible outside)
-Despawn zombies back to horde, if player go far away (hard to code)
-Make hordes visible on overmap
-React hordes to smell and track. (Add track map)
-Don’t place tracks if player in water
-Hordes move and get signals between opermaps
-Show size,direction and speed of horde on map.
-Optimization

Допилиные орды зомби. Отличия от основной ветки:

Орды мельче, но их больше
Орды выслеживают по свету и следам
Следы исчезают в сильный дождь, при кислотных осадках, хуже - в сухую погоду.
Следы не остаются если ходить в брод/плавать.
На карте можно посмотреть размер орды и скорость
Орды ходят и получают сигналы через стыки карт.

A small petition:

Have horde size determined by the amount of buildings in a town. Because I have had somewhat near 200+ zombies spawn after spending the night in a town that was only a house and a general shop together.

Reaper · 2014-03-15T09:05:44.000Z

It strange.
Size of horde and size of city spawn point - same. 1 in 16 cities with size < 5 generated without zombies. In this case city have no zombie horde…
Calc size of horde: city size * 80 - zombie heads.
I not see building count attribute for city in code, but i can remove horde, if city size < 3 for example.
But i not thick, that it help, because hodre 200+ heads means city size > 5.
…if city with size>5 have two building - it’s very strange…

John_Candlebury · 2014-03-15T09:25:29.000Z

Well I was playing with city size at 5. But because the size of cities variates slightly during worldgen, the game may still generate very small towns. Perhaps the code is assuming that every city size matches the worldgen option?

Hm…I think no, because i get diffirent populated hordes. May be game generate small city with size > 5… who know? Need debug.
I can see you saves?

Ha… I died to the horde but if I duplicate it ill surely upload one.

By the way, thanks for the work you are doing on this, the implementation is already very fun.

Add check indoor/outdoor light.
Show hordes in overmap.

John_Candlebury · 2014-03-15T13:07:48.000Z

Well regarding the buf I reported earlier:

I explored the save I had and there was a bigger city some 7 map tiles from the two building town (couldn’t see it because it was night). So the fighting must have attracted a horde from the bigger city.

This should be helpful in figuring out just what’s going on with the hordes in your game.

i wuv you…

Good this would be awesome. Wake up, think im doing good. got my stash. oh shit, did i set enough traps outside my shelter? goddam, why do i have so many windows to defend?

yeah this would be fun.

Reaper · 2014-03-17T02:53:03.000Z

yeah this would be fun.

Now, no one can be sure of their safety. He-he-he

Zireael · 2014-03-17T08:55:03.000Z

Do I have to generate a new world for the hordes?

Zireael:

Do I have to generate a new world for the hordes?

Eeee… Yes. Switch on it in options.

Sanarr · 2014-03-17T10:56:24.000Z

Just to clarify.

If I create a new world and move only character save file to world folder (to make my char with his stats and items appear in a middle of somewhere in the new world) would hordes be present?

I think yes, because world with hordes would be generated, but… to be sure.

BTW, concerning light sources. Does boarded up window counts as lightproof? Or I should apply some curtains and so on.

BTW 2, hordes has finite amount of Z’s, so if I kill (X) Z’s, horde will vanish and no longer appear anywhere, am I right?

CIB · 2014-03-17T16:11:59.000Z

If you turn “wander zombies” on in your settings and visit a new overmap tile, you will get hordes there.

Hordes are so, but so MUCH FUN! Made a pretty easy city into a nightmare. Could escape tough. I would make love to all of you programmers. /me is joking, btw.

A/S/L?

Sean_Mirrsen · 2014-03-17T20:10:28.000Z

Decided to take a quick look at what spawn rate 30 looks like.

My mind is vainly trying to imagine what would a horde from a size 10 town look like at those settings…

BTW, concerning light sources. Does boarded up window counts as lightproof? Or I should apply some curtains and so on.

Yes. If you can't see via something, it counts as lightprof. To the hordes have not seen the light enough that its source was not visible from the all edges of the map.

BTW 2, hordes has finite amount of Z's, so if I kill (X) Z's, horde will vanish and no longer appear anywhere, am I right?

Yes.
