I would say that all that's left is to say how to make it work in build 42, other than that it's perfect.

I'm happy that people are still getting some use out of it.
Even if it's a tad outdated to my knowledge.

thank you very much born, your tutorial helped me a lot:demoticon:

I like it
Born Of Birch  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 9:17am 
The tutorial still works

Mainly asking because I want to try, and recreate the Left 4 Dead style zombies you made.

Could this work for build 42?

Luckily mine haven't broken again, so far.
Still trying to find any way to get that Romero retexture running.

I really want to use it.

I never had my textures break, lucky me.

According to google it seems like GIMP has interlacing on by default, and the way you disable it is in "Filters > Enhance > Deinterlace"

I personally use Krita and whenever you export a PNG from that it lets you check or uncheck the interlacing option

I'm just not too sure how to turn it off.

I've actually been having this issue. It rendered an entire mod I made broken.
I'll give this a try hopefully it finally fixes the issue.

I’ll comment this in case anyone else has the same problem I had:

If your zombies are showing up invisible in game after adding your new textures in, make sure the texture files are *not* “interlacing”. Open up your PNGs and find the file properties and if it says anywhere that it’s interlacing, turn off the interlacing.

I'm glad
there isn't a good amount of information on this subject readily available
so I'm glad to be able to share what I've learned

Hopefully now you can make whatever textures you want

you are a goat for making this. I actually managed to make a mod and its thanks to you bro.
Born Of Birch  [author] 15 Aug, 2024 @ 2:35pm 
I have no idea
I didn't do that its just like that in the file
for some reason the devs didn't bother to add rot to poor maleZed 03
UtterlyFlabbergasted 15 Aug, 2024 @ 2:29pm 
anyone know why M_zedbody03 has the exact same textures for every decay stage?
Born Of Birch  [author] 1 Jun, 2024 @ 3:38pm 
That might allow you to see if it is download able
If not then it's likely something wrong in to files

Try uploading the mod
(Make sure it's private at first)

i've just made a few textures and i'm currently going to test it out. When i'm loading the game and going to the workshop I don't see my mod, I'm new to this. Any troubleshooting tips??
Born Of Birch  [author] 22 May, 2024 @ 6:20pm 
Oh!
yes I do, sorry about that I'll fix it now
iliketurtles567 22 May, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
Im having a hard time with the steps. The part I am confused on is when you say "Once you grab the mod inside the ID go to Users, (your User), Zomboid, Workshop
and copy it there". Do you mean paste it in there???

make a zombie texture pack but you forgot to install css
Born Of Birch  [author] 20 May, 2024 @ 4:01pm 
Also thank you jUG
I honestly had my doubts about publishing this one
As it's not the standard way guides are usually made
But I figure it's a good way to reach alot of people who may want to give this a shot
Born Of Birch  [author] 20 May, 2024 @ 3:59pm 
You mean like for the survivor textures?

I got those in there to
Everything should be in the body folder
PAS 20 May, 2024 @ 2:48am 
Can you make a survivor template as well?
jUG_05 20 May, 2024 @ 1:51am 
you know, i had something like this in my modding folder, but i never thought of actually publishing it or anything, so i guess im glad you did it lol
either way, ive been lovin your retextures, even though none of them have really been my type of thing so far, i can appreciate the work that goes into them, and the overall quality of them
JustARandomPlayer 19 May, 2024 @ 9:40am 
I give this tutorial a :steamthumbsup: :D
Born Of Birch  [author] 18 May, 2024 @ 8:30pm
