DotD: Z-Day Update

Well, I've done it mostly by myself. The new version of the mod is nearly ready. So far it looks fucking awesome and should help the lag a little. It will have a lot of fixes and changes implemented and overall should be a better mod. It uses all custom sounds for pain, death, attack, miss, etc. It also has a boss mode which will effect the last zombie. The boss is a lil buggy atm, but it will get fixed soon hopefully. Chances are I may try and run it on the superhero mod server for testing, or just take down the dotd server and put this one up for playtesting. as of now the mod is no longer called Dawn of the Dead. I'm going to make it so that Z-Day is the gameplay mod and dawn of the dead is the name of the ranking system. The best and probably most noticable part in this update will be the zombie classes. Now i can run more then 4 (as many as i want to). I am only going to run the current 4 zombies for a lil while i bug test and then i will add/swap/remove in more. These zombies should be a lil bit more challenging now and balanced. I'll try and upload some screenshots later. BTW: the boss has 350 speed so dun try and out-run it, i tried .

haha sounds fun. It seems like you're getting closer to the type of server you wanted.

Right now it is the server I have always wanted. I can maybe mod this a lil further cause I have an idea of how to improve bot game play on maps.

man tirant you make the best mods and you do it all by yourself
great job ill try to test it when you put it up =]

I don't do stuff by myself. I get help from people, mostly vittu who is nice enough to do it. I can't code for shit, i can only read, know basically how it works and modify already made code.

There may be a lil delay on this update, i thought it was ready which it is, but there is one bug. The server keeps crashing 5 mins after it starts. I know where the error is an i'm experimenting with how to fix it, i'll have to wait for vittu to try and help me seeing as he is like the greatest bug fixer known to man.

I might have just fixed, it. The server just ran for 9 mins w/o crash with the edits i made. I made it check to much to see that the zombies were terrorists. I will do more bug testing and maybe message some of you to help and get some playtesters. If all goes well, the update will take effect friday. Also pending is a xp reset which is optional atm, but it could be nice. I will eventually get around to updating the rank system and modding the current release.

Edit: BTW, in the tests i've completed, i have noticed a major reduction in choke (server lag). I think it is actually 0, but keep in mind i am only running 6 bots and no dotd rank.

any idea on when the server will be back up?

there was a point when i spawned as a zombie and played as a zombie. after i died, i couldn't play as a zombie again because i didnt know how to...

was this just some sort of a glitch? if not, i would like to know how to play as a zombie again.. it was interesting lol

its definetly some kind of glitch

XD Tirant is A triple Poster! Jk
Anyways, I can test for you, I am usually bored soo...
Also, to check choke and all your stats type this in the console.

Ya, it's some sort of glitch, but nothing very bad. It always forced you back ct. I had somem thoughts of changing, like another server, and having players v players instead of players v bots, but that was never planned, but i have to admit it would be interesting but change my philosophy on the mod and it's overall objective.

ya that would be interesting but then you would have to go through the trouble of changing things around and everything...and plus there has to be players there to actually make it interesting
