My goal was to create a city of the walking dead by "zombifying" all of Grand Theft Auto IV's pedestrians. I chose to do it the hard way, replacing each individual texture file with unique new decomposing versions. After over a year of work, there are over 200 zombies roaming the streets of Liberty City, the world's latest necropolis. If y'all want cool looking zombies, I hope my skins are for you



Zombocalypse 2.0 features vast improvements in quality to the majority of the already zombified characters while adding a whole lot more. The mod now comes with the option to spawn only zombified pedestrians (can be risky, but if you want it, go for it!). This latest iteration of the mod should hopefully appear on GTA Garage soon. Until then, you can find it at the links below..

Look cool,will they actually try to eat you or is it just a texture mod?

[MrSnaztastic]

In this mod I'm only changing the textures, but that in itself is quite a large job.
If you use it in conjunction with something like Contagium you can get them assaulting you.
I'm just making them look cool

Awesome!

[goin-god]

This is nice, and looks like you are adding good detail.

This could be usefull for a future Zombie mod.

Doin' great! I Effin luv the gta start up theme!! Probably Lilmcnessy might update his "Zombie Mission Mod" to fit with Contagium but he needs the relationship group for the zombies, any chances you would know them? Maybe you two should work together since his other texture artist/coder is out

[MrSnaztastic]

I'd love to have my textures be part of a bigger mod, particularly if there's one that has actually accomplished the feat of making the zombies act like zombies instead of shambling boxers..

Contagium's pretty cool, but it can be pretty damn glitchy and needs more options before it can be considered user friendly. That Zombie Mission Mod has an error pop up in the corner everytime I load the game (why doesn't it come with a readme or anything?). Seems like that and everything else I've tried is either buggy as hell or fails to start or isn't supported by the latest version of GTA IV.

But yeah, if anyone's got an epic zombie mod in the works and would like to officially combine it with my skins, I'll definitely pay attention if ya ask

Question, will Niko be zombiefied? Because do not want.

[TomWar1978]

thanks this will be my first mod for this game... to try that is! i always avoided this game... hated it/// and now what the hell right?

Niko isn't a zombie. Yet.

I've started work on him, but won't get down to giving Niko my full attention til I've done everyone else.

Besides, it's up to you whether he looks zombified or not. Each zombie's texture file is kept separate, so you can leave Niko looking all bland and alive if you wish

Thanks

This mod is awesome in combination with Contagium with 3rd level infection.

[Djwid63]

Impressive! Must've taken you ages to do!

[ikt]

When do you think you'll have all the zombies/peds finished?

Also, Contagium might be a great mod, but it has some user-unfriendly options. Everytime I place a waypoint, autowalk/drive starts and there's no way to turn it off. Meh.

I'd like to see some euphoria controlled zombies. Might try to make it myself. How hard can it be?

I hope to be done with Zombocalypse by the end of the year. With any luck I'll get it finished over the summer.
Next update will be in June with a shedload more zombies.

As for Contagium, it's just a fairly simple way to get a city full of people who hate you, which is why I recommend it. There's probably other mods that do similar, but Contagium gives people that wounded walk-cycle which makes them look zombie-like so it's got an edge there.

[Recon Zero]

this is awesome man!!! im just waiting for the the one thats gonna be released in june

[Neova]

Awesome! Now if someone can code in some zombie survival missions, then we're all set!

Great work man.
Your skins plus Contagium mod are allot of fun.
Look forward to your next update.

Thanks.

Hey, after installing this mod, I can play for like a minute or two but then the game crashes with Fatal Error: ZLIB20.
when I switch the textures back to normal, the game runs fine... what do I need to do to get this working?

If you just want the zombie textures in-game, then all you need is the latest version of SparkIV and GTA IV. Make sure you have the latest patch is what I would recommend.

I've never seen that error message before, but a trip to Google revealed ZLIB20 is usually caused by corrupted files and requires a re-install to fix. However, since GTA IV seems to still work properly for you when the mod is uninstalled, could be that your download of Zombocalypse had a bit of an error. Try re-downloading the mod and see if the new version makes a difference. If not, then either re-install GTA IV and try again, or just accept that it doesn't like your computer

hey buddy, just checking in to see if you are having an update anytime soon. definitely looking forward to it!

I've made some machinima using it.. it's a gta iv zombie series I am doing!

I used them most in this particular episode, (now up to 5 episodes + a teaser within 2 weeks of starting the project)
