MCZombie Legacy Compat

Makes MCZombieMod 1.2.1 (and its PaintedUtils 1.1.0 dependency) work on current R.E.P.O. (0.4.x) with REPOLib 4.x.

What it fixes

• Zombie movement: MCZombieMod calls EnemyNavMeshAgent.Warp(Vector3), removed from the game. The zombie stayed frozen and threw an exception every frame (tens of thousands per level). Fixed.
• Rotten Flesh: eating it no longer breaks (PhysGrabber.ReleaseObject changed), one bite per piece, heals as intended.
• Rotten Flesh sickness (was never finished in the original mod): after eating, the player is sick for 45 s and pukes a few times with the game's own puke effect, visible to every player. Can be disabled.
• Loot drops: PaintedUtils' item dropper used REPOLib 2 spawn APIs; zombies now drop Rotten Flesh again.
• Grabbing a zombie: no more exception every frame; the zombie targets the player holding it.
• Enemy registration and legacy enemy lookup (horde spawning) on REPOLib 4.
• Minecraft maps zombie guarantee (optional, on by default): one zombie on Minecraft Cave / Stronghold / Village, spawned on a valid level point, with no repeated scene scans.

How it works (please read)

The package contains a small BepInEx preloader patcher (BepInEx/patchers). At game start, before plugins load, it rewrites the outdated calls inside MCZombieMod.dll and PaintedUtils.dll in place so they target the current game/REPOLib APIs.

• The original files are kept next to them as *.dll.ctbak.
• Only references that no longer exist are touched. If MCZombieMod or PaintedUtils get an official update, the patcher leaves them alone.
• A file is never patched twice (already patched in the log).

Config (000.CaptainTeam.MCZombieFix.cfg)

• MCZombie Compatibility / Guarantee Zombie On Minecraft Maps (default true)
• Rotten Flesh / Sickness Effect (default true)

Multiplayer

Every player must have this package (same as MCZombieMod itself).

Requirements

BepInExPack, REPOLib 4.2.0, PaintedUtils 1.1.0, MCZombieMod 1.2.1 (declared in the manifest).

Changelog

1.1.0

• New preloader patcher that rewrites MCZombieMod / PaintedUtils calls to removed APIs (EnemyNavMeshAgent.Warp(Vector3), PhysGrabber.ReleaseObject(float), PlayerAvatar.localCameraTransform, REPOLib 2 SpawnNetworkPrefab(string) / SpawnValuable(ValuableObject) / RegisterNetworkPrefab). Fixes the frozen zombie and its per-frame exceptions. The 1.0.5 bridge existed but was never wired.
• Zombie loot (Rotten Flesh) drops again.
• Rotten Flesh: one bite per piece; new sickness with the game's puke effect, synced to all players (Sickness Effect option).
• Grabbing a zombie no longer throws every frame; it chases the player holding it.
• Minecraft zombie guarantee spawns on the nearest level point (the zombie could appear inside walls) and gives up after 5 attempts instead of scanning the scene every 2 seconds.

1.0.5

• MCZombie startup and registration on REPOLib 4, Rotten Flesh network registration.
