I'll take that as a no then i guess
Sweet Magenta 19 Jul @ 8:00pm 
Oh yeah i was asking if they don't shout at it without the muted survivors mod
Waltz  [author] 19 Jul @ 7:32pm 
Pink noise its fairly tall yeah, it doesn't get stuck on much tho so have fun

Sweet magenta the survivors dont shout at it w the muted survivors mod
Sweet Magenta 19 Jul @ 7:17pm 
@Waltz Oh thank god, unless you were answering Pink Noise-
pink.noise.chick 19 Jul @ 6:59pm 
okay i thought it was literally thought it was tall cause of image 3 showing it in the distance towering over the common infected
Waltz  [author] 19 Jul @ 6:57pm 
Thankfully no
Sweet Magenta 19 Jul @ 4:47pm 
probably a silly question but if you don't have the muted survivors + npcs mod on do the survivors still call it out as a "jOcKeY!!!!" when they see it? because if so that's annoying-
pink.noise.chick 19 Jul @ 11:16am 
is that thing really tall compared to a normal human cause of the image 3
Humphrey Fauxgart 19 Jul @ 6:59am 
bots: "jOcKeY!!1!1!"

me: (pants shidded)

i cant see a howler in the game but he can make dmg to me how to fix?
howvillehawdsonofficial 18 Jul @ 7:54pm 
The only problem I have with it is the fact that bots die every time it spawns because they just try to shoot and shove it, so it's not viable in singleplayer.

Also, no matter how high I put my shaders on, I can't see it.
Waltz  [author] 18 Jul @ 10:58am 
nope
cieja 18 Jul @ 4:18am 
Is this mod compatible with other jockey rng replacement , like the hellhound mod?
Waltz  [author] 17 Jul @ 12:35pm 
Odds are i think 1/3 chance it spawns whenever a jockey is meant to spawn, on top of there being a 1/3 chance at the start of a level that a Howler will never spawn no matter what.

Yeah u got unlucky
The Magic Man 17 Jul @ 9:03am 
Am I just getting really unlucky here or what, like what are its actual odds of spawning in? I had this damned thing spawn on me 3 times in a row, once for each chapter of a campaign. Its a fun mod and all but I just want to know if I'm really that unlucky with the chances right now.
TheNamelessKing 15 Jul @ 7:49pm 
can we get a howler design for the witch? like the wedding witch can be invisible and the flashlight works on it like howler, so it can be used along side the witch randomizer mod, it will choose either witch or wedding witch, this would add an extra purpose alongside the witch stance mod that has her walking around sometimes. in think this would be sick, untill we get a howler that doesnt replace any infected like that new tank mod or hellhounds
DeadHead28 15 Jul @ 4:56am 
spooky, tense, better than the jockey yada yada, but he does look like huggy wuggy kinda, me and the boys call him 'the skibidi' because of it
Thug Hunter 12 Jul @ 2:19pm 
no way my idea got implemented!:steamhappy:
NasanNanayMo 11 Jul @ 9:20pm 
I just noticed that this mod disables the finale tank music for some reason
FORGE 10 Jul @ 2:47pm 
i used a morph mod and did !jockey and my game crashed lol. i know theres no way of fixing it but i wonder what causes it
yoru 10 Jul @ 1:56pm 
god forbid this workshop gets a completely new special boss in 16 years rather than just another generic reskin
Waltz  [author] 10 Jul @ 1:51pm 
That isn't a bug I have ever encountered in all my months of development I'm afraid. Not sure what could be happening on your end but I can't fix a bug i can't replicate
Scroom 10 Jul @ 1:03am 
Please fix the bug where he hangs in place and stays still or hops I legit uninstalled EVERYTHING and still does it.

foir
Nax 9 Jul @ 11:14am 
call me stupid, but it looks more like the whistler from the whistle occurence
Thug Hunter 8 Jul @ 4:46pm 
ok I have an insane idea. What if fire can kill it on any difficulty but when you lit howler on fire it will move faster so you have to run away
Nulsis 8 Jul @ 12:02pm 
just a thought is there a way to make it so only fire can kill the howler
🔥BartekADM🍁 8 Jul @ 4:09am 
It is too fast
TheNamelessKing 1 Jul @ 6:55pm 
to bad we cant kill it with propane tanks, anyways hopefully we can get this and jocky to spawn at same time
Ponds34 30 Jun @ 12:26am 
I cant see it even with highest shader settings enabled :(
(Still hasnt stopped me from loving this mod tho)
Jonahisaguy 29 Jun @ 7:06pm 
this is the scariest mod i have ever played
Waltz  [author] 29 Jun @ 2:37pm 
set server type to local, thats the only way to get script mods to work
Trifal 29 Jun @ 2:35pm 
when playing multiplayer the mod isn't working correctly and instead its just an invisible normal jockey with no shadow. Is this on my end? or a known issue? (me and my friend both had the mod installed)
kraker 28 Jun @ 10:26pm 
the bots keep on trying to hit it and kill it and just empty out their entire arsenal and die when trying to melee
The Joker 26 Jun @ 9:24pm 
It's a great mod, and it's very well designed. But, it's a pain in the ass to get through the howler if you're in a tight space, so I won't be using it that much.
Nulsis 26 Jun @ 12:54pm 
Ah ok, thank you for the info
Waltz  [author] 26 Jun @ 11:55am 
yeah only one can naturally spawn at a time, since i kept it to the default jockey limit
Nulsis 26 Jun @ 11:38am 
I just realized that the sounds the howler is making are 096's idle noises
Nulsis 26 Jun @ 11:27am 
Is there a maximum to how many howlers can be present per level
Waltz  [author] 26 Jun @ 8:56am 
@nulsis oh you masochist, i like you

its all controlled by howler.nut, and the two big things that control how often it spawns is lines 72-75 and line 129.

Also make sure to check "function MapSpawnCheck(whom)", as that controls spawn exceptions on certain maps.

Hopefully it should be intuitive to figure out how to change it once you know where to look
Nulsis 26 Jun @ 7:39am 
what do i change in the script to make them spawn more often
RanYan4th 24 Jun @ 10:49pm 
Imagine if this will replaces Witch.
LOg(11)N 23 Jun @ 11:46pm 
I shit my pants when I saw this in the nightmare collection:witch:
Freddy The Flamingo 22 Jun @ 8:58pm 
Realistic Horror mod
PepperJakJoe 22 Jun @ 11:25am 
you an asshole for this one big dog
Blindyomite 20 Jun @ 7:07pm 
Thanks for adding actual game design when making this :steamthumbsup:
Carman206 20 Jun @ 10:16am 
the howler is not spawning
Burntandtoastedogs 20 Jun @ 10:03am 
good :steamthumbsup:
Антон Чугун 18 Jun @ 10:54am 
I meant that a Howler will not appear on a certain map
Waltz  [author] 18 Jun @ 10:32am 
should work just fine with custom campaigns
