Finally revived, Zomponies is coming back strong!

 

This mod, once done, will give the ability for your favorite background ponies to become zombies, and fight you. Not only that, they can also become Skeletal ponies, who can fire arrows at you, Villagers, who reside in mysterious villages across Equestria, and Pigpony zombies, who are mysteries in themselves. Best part, they randomly change, so you can be fighting Colgate and Cloudkicker at the same time!
 

Development has already started, but is being delayed a bit due to other projects. Expect the full mod to be out at the end of January

 

Checklist:

(Blue = WIP, Green = complete, Red = may not happen)

Zombies

Skeleponies 

Villager Ponies

Pigponies

Enderponies

Enderdragon

Wither ponies

Changing chickens to Scootaloo
 

This mod will also be featured in the Pony Toolkit, a Brony substitute to Tekkit! http://ufharmony.com/

So.. Is this a mod that adds in the pony model on zombies instead of the human model, or adds in extra zombies too? (Zombie bosses would be cool)

The former, though there are a lot of mods with zombie bosses

No, this is an independant client mod, and has nothing to do with the Nightmare Night event on Brohoof

So, I noticed a problem with this; If I change the way the zombies are modeled, and make them use the MineLP skins, then a texture pack with it's own zombie skin would overwrite that, and create one fucked up zombie pony. I am currently working on a way to detect if the skin is compatible, like the MineLP colour codes, but if there's an alternative, let me know.

Make your mod use a different file name for the zombie pony skin, and include that file with your mod. Then if texture packs want to include zombie-pony-compatible skins they can, but if they overwrite the default zombie file it won't affect you. This is how Mine Little Pony supports custom pony armour while remaining compatible with texture packs.

It will definitely add for a side "BroHoof" SMP server for sure, who wants to start a brohoof SMP?!?!?

I like this idea of a mod...

That's actually a great idea! Thanks Verdana!

Do you mean the Canterlot guards? I can add them

maybe you can tie this in with MCpatcher's randommobs? that way you'd just have to figure out a way to change the model to pony and then you just add a bunch of zombified skins to a texpack the mod can choose from.

I was thinking about it, but Creepers are a staple in the game, and Enderponies, while awesome, might break the 3 block height of the enderman.

I can change models to pony ones using the colour codes present in MineLP, but it's up to the Texture Pack artists themselves.

Thought I might as well put a status update out there.
I am releasing this mod once 1.4 releases. This is for a few reasons. First off, I sprained my wrist, so development is going to be hard. I also want to see how the modding API works in 1.4, and besides, its coming out on Halloween.

That is possible, but I will release Zombie ponies first and see how they work, then add the other mobs one by one. Of course, this will only happen after 1.4's Minecraft Coder Pack is released, as well as any changes to Mine Little Pony's model code.

Oh and speaking of which, I may change how skins are set up, by removing the filly and giant models (no Sweetie Belle Zombies, though I may release a future mod with a Sweetie Bot mob), as well as horn glows and some other features zombies may not use.

I think that he wants the ender dragon as Queen Crysalsis and enderman as changlings and such.

Ah, I may not fix the ender dragon or the wither boss. As for Enderponies, I am still considering how exactly it will work out.

Since Minecraft 1.4 will be released tomorrow, I will not be releasing this mod until Minecraft Coder Pack upgrades to 1.4. I will also have to edit the zombies to allow for their new armors.

I may use this, but replace the zombie skins as changelings or something.

Also, due to it's client-sided nature, it is possibly Multi-player compatible and suitable for the BronyModPack, if I am not mistaken.

Changing the skins is Going to be pretty simple, its just the trigger pixel at the top (no fillies or alicorns). My plan was for the zombies to be retextured background ponies, but if you want to use changelings, that's fine.
As for Brony Modpack, I'll consider it, but my priority is Pony Toolkit for now
