After so long, I finally can release a much, much better and complete version. Enough to call it Official !
Thank you very much to the people who helped me with finding bugs and adding new features, I hope this mod can bring you
lots of fun because you all deserve it !
So, there is quite a lot of changes since the last version, I worked very hard to make it as stable as possible, and to add every features people wanted. I wasn't able to work every day on it,
but I think this will make a huge difference compared to before !

Quick presentation:
//////////////////
UAC Technology is fascinating, and allowed for some miracles in these terrible times. Somehow, in a well hidden research station,
a group of scientist managed to hold captive 2 zombies and, thanks to some powerful technology, they altered their soul and will
to fight the demonic possession, and improve their abilities well beyond simple zombies...
Wait, is that even possible ?
Nah that sounds unrealistic.
How about...
One day, you woke up and there was 2 zombies. They were friendly. No one knows why, neither how, and god isn't fully sure himself
at this point. They're just here. 2 Zombies Brothers. That fights evil along with you. And they like you. 2 Zombies Bros. Yup.
Now that's better !
//////////////////
You will have 2 friendly zombies to fight with you everywhere you go !
Here's how they work:
---------------------
-You can give these 2 orders at anytime (except if they're dead obviously). You can use the old command system, but the more useful
key binding command system will work better. Choose whatever stance they have to stay in.
-They are fully customizable, thanks to their own option menu. You can make one of them spawn only, or even none
if they somehow gets too annoying. Neat !
-They will try to act like players as much as they can, going as far as being able to pick up weapons, and heal
themselves using stimpacks and medikits placed on the map (you can disable these features as well).
-These guys have their own HUD as well! With just a button, you can keep track of their stats, arsenal, and upgrades.
-Not only they can expand their arsenal of weapons, but they can also get XP from killing monsters! The more HP a monster
has, the more XP it will be worth. After reaching 200 XP, they will unlock a special reward which can help them to improve
even more!
-Zombies will fight a lot, but they can also be useful in other ways! From time to time, if they are idle near you for long
enough, they will start searching items in the vicinity. They might find stuff, or not, or even weapons to give to themselves.
Yes, they will share weapons they find with each others. Brotherly love even after death.
-Not only they will fight, but their behavior will change depending on the foe they're currently fighting, and their HP. They will become
much more mobile when fighting a boss or when low on HP, and use better weapons.
-Using other companion mods? Not an issue, these guys have adapted to them already! They will not damage any friendly monster if these are
vulnerable, and won't be blocked by them.
-These dudes talk. A lot. About everything. Find them annoying ? Shut their mouths with the press of a button. Tired of the zombie's speech ?
Crank it up to max gentleman attitude. They also react to your kills, to you being hurt, and much more.
-Want challenge? Make them pistol start! Each map, they'll start over without weapons! Don't want that? Do the opposite, make them start with
every weapons instead! You can even choose which upgrade they'll start with !
-Want more challenge? Enable lifes! Your zombies will have to play it more careful if you don't want to loose them, as they are precious
and valuable allies. Want even more? Then try out the Nightmare setting. But don't expect these fools to last long with it !
-Want them to feel more unique? Give them a color. Not enough? Give them a nickname !
-Feeling curious? You might want to try out new weapons that your friend Shotgun Guy has in store for you! One unique upgrade allows for new weapons
to be dropped for you exclusively !
And more to come !(in a distant future maybe...)
Once again, thank you all for helping me out. Even the smallest feedback means a lot, and all I wanted was to make entirely customizable companions,
that feels alive, and that you can play with on any maps, any wads, with any mods. It's probably not perfect as expected, but any feedback is always a welcome
addition !
