Zombie HORDE - BETA 28 (page 16) - Fix1 (05/01/15)

[Kaminsky]

Whenever there are at least twenty people playing on any server, there will be a "glitch" involving several people becoming infected as zombies, which abruptly ends the round. The glitch normally occurs on Zombie Escape maps such as "Dollet Escape" and "Virtual Escape".

You mean when everyone becomes initial? that can be on any map

I think you're refering to the bug which causes everyone to be infected when a lagging player gets infected. This has been discussed already in this thread or in the mappack's topic. What happens is that, since the player is lagging, the infection script activator becomes the "world" and hence its effect is applied to all the players. Does this still happen on Zandronum 1.1 ?

1.1.1 yes :/

I know it´s not the best solution but, isn´t a way to know if it´s a world script? then just a terminate would "fix" that problem;

That sounds like a bug (at least if Zandronum really behaves like this). If there is no ticket for this yet, please create one and include a minimal example wad to demonstrate the problem.

I know much severe infection bug, where zombie for some reason after scratch doesn't switch to claws and looks like a human. It is very rare though.

And I have seen someone unlocking Only ZM survivor when it was full server.

That's been a bug occurring recently on the Zombie Horde servers, particularly on maps such as "The Badlands" and "The Abandoned Mines". The cause for the glitch's occurrence is from the number of players in the server exceeding the number of spawn points available, resulting in players unintentionally killing one another as they spawn. Therefore, players killed off, unknowingly become infected, yet appear as humans.

To fix this, players must spectate at the end of the round until one player remains, or all "infected" humans have exited the game.

Is that still happening on zm09? because if I remember right the last time I add 64 players spawn spot '-'.

Also nice fixes xnsake :D

Yes, but usually when any server is full of players. Fortunately, it's as uncommon as the previous map, which hardly supports enough spawn points for all the players.

It might be related, but I have seen this happen on other maps and in earlier versions. I remember this happened in ZE02, ZM05 and ZE17.
I think this bug is happening because zombie infects human in exact tic when human starts to select other weapon or tic when the weapon is completely deselected and it's about to be selected the other weapon.

[Mr.Man]

hmm time to add the drink as an item lol

EDIT: i was getting a ton of errors, but this was just because gzdoombuilder didnt load properly, thats why i crashed too. my bad :L

[Mr.Man]

I have succesfully made a pickup for the drink.
(i wanted this because i might add it as an secret)
it floads and when picked up itll go into the inventory as usual.

IMPORTANT EDIT: the energy drink grant immunity to infecting!
i triet it and when id rank it, the zombies coulnt infect me. This effect goes away when the energy runs out.

If someone could post a screenshot of the debug code (top left corner) that is displayed when there is only one human at the end of a game, that would be helpful. Thx.

Ok, I´ll.

But I think it would be cool if that file could be stored xD

maybe something like this

Code: Select all

script x (void) NET CLIENTSIDE{
while(endofthegametimer>0){
 delay(1);
}
if(humancounter()==1 && zombiecounter()==0) {savedataonafile();
print(s:"data saved");
}
}

So, it would only save if there is only one survivor, if not it would not save, savedataonafile would be a function to save a logfile, and endofthegametimer is the time var (i don´t remember the name right now :s)
And only who call it would see/save it.

EDIT:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Well I found this on a demo, i think it would help

[ZzZombo]

ACS doesn't have access to files, didn't you know? The only thing that can save to files is CVARs.

Code: Select all

script 1 (void) NET clientside{
if(ConsolePlayerNumber() != PlayerNumber()) Terminate;
consolecommand("LOGFILE zombie-horde-last-human.txt");
print(s:"here is a demo about how to create a file on zombie horde and save data on a new file");
print(s:"total of humans:",d:humancounter());
print(s:" ");//to not show nothing on screen
consolecommand("a comand to close the logfile");
}

so what about this?

EDIT:nevermind, zandronum blocked logfile by consolecomand >.>
