DAG Zombie Skinning Mod

Enhance the zombie skinning system in DayZ with fully customizable configurations through JSON files.

Key Features

1. Knife Categories

Legendary: The most effective tools for maximum loot. Good: High-quality knives with excellent efficiency. Medium: Standard knives with average results. Bad: Makeshift or low-quality knives, reducing the chance of rare drops. Each knife category is fully customizable and influences unique drops.

2. Loot System

Standard Drops: Bones, guts, rags, and other basic items. Unique Drops: Rare gear or collectible items with customizable drop rates. Drop rates depend on the knife used and its category.

3. Dangerous Animals

Skinning zombies may attract predators like wolves or bears. Customizable Parameters:

Spawn probability Minimum and maximum spawn radius Number of spawned animals 4. Full Customization

Add new zombie categories and define their loot tables. Customize item quantity, quality, and drop rates. Adjust knife efficiency for specific types of loot. Easily configure predator spawn behavior. 5. Automatic Settings If a zombie type is not found in the JSON configuration, the game will automatically default to vanilla behavior.

6. Logging and Debugging The mod includes configuration validation and logs to simplify debugging.
