This is more of a tutorial than a mod but I am including the files in case someone wants to study
them or try them out in game.
There are much better Zombie Uprising Mods out there than this one. Myself I like the
Zombie uprising at the Mall mod. But this isn't meant to be a serious mod just a small
exercise in activity modding.
I started with the Pierce And Shaundi Zombies At The Mall mod and changed a couple of things.
1. Instead of Pierce it is now Gat And Shaundi
2. I added a $10,000 award for beating the activity
3. I changed the amount of respect from 2,000 to 5,000
4. I changed a Floor weapon spawn (as well as an ammo amount)
5. I changed a Zombie weapon drop
6. I changed the percentage that controls the chances of a food or weapon drop.
7. I changed the zombies to Ninjas
8. I changed the Zombie Animations To Brotherhood Animations
Be sure to keep your original Zomb* files so that you can restore them when you are
done playing with these.
Drop the edited file in the '1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE' directory located in
Gentlemen Of The Row/optional_mod_stuff and compile it. Drop your compiled files in your Saints Row 2
folder.
There is no reason that I can think of that this should mess with a save file, but
depending on what other mods you may have installed it might mess up your progress if you are
going for 100 percent. Since I'm not sure I thought to give this warning.

-Part 1- Changing A Character
In Idolninja's optional Zombie Uprising At The Mall he gives you a choice of characters
to be your Zombie Killer. I chose the version that features Pierce and Shaundi but in my own
game I chose to change Pierce To Johnny Gat.
Here Is The Relevant Code From Idolninja's mod (zombie.xtbl):
<Zombie_Killer_One>npc_pierce</Zombie_Killer_One>
<Zombie_Killer_Two>npc_shaundi</Zombie_Killer_Two>
This was a simple change just replace npc_pierce with npc_gat
(Modded Code)
<Zombie_Killer_One>npc_gat</Zombie_Killer_One>
<Zombie_Killer_Two>npc_shaundi</Zombie_Killer_Two>

-Part 7- Changing Zombies To Ninjas (character swaps)
(Note: Thank you to SeaboundSaint for the NPC Editing Guide. That is how I learned to do this.)
The Zombies in my mod are controlled by the files:
npc_ZombMale_A.xtbl
npc_ZombMale_C.xtbl
npc_ZombFemB.xtbl
There are other zombie files in Common.vpp_pc but I don't use them.
Since I want to change my zombies to ninjas I will simply swap the
npc in the _pre files (i.e. For npc_ZombMale_A I would swap the character in npc_ZombMale_A_pre.xtbl)
the relevant files will be:
npc_ZombMale_A_pre.xtbl
npc_ZombMale_C_pre.xtbl
npc_ZombFemB_pre.xtbl
Here is npc_ZombMale_A_pre.xtbl used as an example:
(original code)
<Preset>
<Name>npc_ZombMale_A</Name>
<Character>npc_ZombMale_A</Character>
(modded code)
<Preset>
<Name>npc_ZombMale_A</Name>
<Character>npc_Ninja</Character>
All three _pre files will use npc_ninja as the character entry.

-Part 8- Swapping The Animations From Zombies To Brotherhood
In the npc_Zomb*_pre files there is a setting for animations
Here is the listing from ZombFemB_ore
<AnimSets>
<AnimSet>0.0<Filename>PML1_Zombie.xtbl</Filename>
<PercentChance>100</PercentChance>
</AnimSet>
what we want to change is the filename inside of the ,Filename></Filename> brackets
so that it reflects out choice of animations. In this case: to BRO_LIFE which controls the Brotherhood animations
(Original Code)
<AnimSets>
<AnimSet>0.0<Filename>PML1_Zombie.xtbl</Filename>
<PercentChance>100</PercentChance>
</AnimSet>
(Modded Code)
<AnimSets>
<AnimSet>0.0<Filename>BRO_LIFE</Filename>
<PercentChance>100</PercentChance>
</AnimSet>
That's it. Just compile your code and have fun.

Be sure to keep your original Zomb* files so that you can restore them when you are
done playing with these.
Drop the edited file in the '1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE' directory located in
Gentlemen Of The Row/optional_mod_stuff and compile it. Drop your compiled files in your Saints Row 2
folder.
There is no reason that I can think of that this should mess with a save file, but
depending on what other mods you may have installed it might mess up your progress if you are
going for 100 percent. Since I'm not sure I thought to give this warning.
