About this mod
Do you play 7 Days to Die with a health bar mod like Sirillion's SMX series offers? I'm sure you've noticed that some animals, zombies, machines, etc. show up in the health bar as "animalZombieBear" and "zombieJoeRadiated," instead of "Infected Bear" or "Radiated Cadaver." Look no further to change those pesky names!

Ztensity's Creature Renaming Modlet
A21 Compatibility Update to Renaming Vanilla Zombies & Animals
A21 Compatibility Update to Renaming Vanilla Zombies & Animals
INTRODUCTION
Into hours of playing 7 Days to Die and diving into the vast modding community between Nexus Mods, Guppy's Modding Server Discord, the official forum, the 7 Days to Die un-official mod launcher and the official website dedicated to mods for the game, I decided to use Sirillion's entire SMX series. His modlets overhaul the UI of 7 Days to Die, which make changes to the HUD, Menu and general UI. I realized sometime later my favorite UI tweak from this series was his optional Target Health Bar designed for compatibility with his UI overhaul.
After playing 7 Days to Die with a full list of modlets including the SMX series, I realized that some animals and zombies would show up in the health bar from the Target Health Bar modlet as "animalZombieBear" and "zombieJoeRadiated," instead of "Infected Bear" or "Radiated Cadaver." I then began writing my creature renaming patch to increase immersiveness when encountering different creatures in game.
REQUIREMENTS
Before deciding to install my renaming modlet, you must first have a Health Bar modlet installed to see the name changes.
Fortunately, whether you use the launcher or Nexus Mods, you do have a couple of options. See below:
Nexus Mods - Sirillion's SMX Series Target Health Bar
Nexus Mods - KonradSB's Hit Bar Health Bar
It's worthy to note that if you are using the Mod Launcher, you can install all of Sirillion's SMX series of modlets there. That said, once you have installed one of the health bar modlets, you can then download my "vanilla" patch.
VANILLA CREATURE RENAMING
This modlet can be installed right away. After the A21 update, there are still some zombies and animals that could be renamed. Some entities were added, some were changed, and some still felt like they could use more immersive names. I believe this is the most important modlet for each player using a health bar mod, as it will improve immersiveness when viewing vanilla creatures.
CREDITS
If it wasn't for discussion, guidance and help getting started from other mod authors in Guppy's Discord like wrathmaniac, TSBX, Xyth, Mumpfy, sphereii, Sirillion, saminal, Khaine, chiko and Guppy himself, none of this would have been possible.
