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

Well it did a great job of keeping me away from software render cause it make no fps difference between OpenGl and Software renders.

Heh, at old Pentium III PC (866MHz with dedicated NVIDIA (GF2 MX400) card openGL has double FPS than software, it was so before the software 3D floor rendering anyway. It really depends on good GPU. The software renderer is still faster at intel GMA cards.

It's annoying when you infect somebody and they go in spectator mode straight away. :/
So I'm suggesting that when somebody gets infected they have to wait at least 2 minutes to go into spectator mode.

[ibm5155]

I agree, but the only think I think is to ban who make that thing for X minutes, like the first zombie rq, because I don't think there's a way to block people to spectate

[Kokiri]

That works too

[Niiro Kitsune]

When players spectate upon being infected, it does kinda take away from the round being played. There is also a problem (though not as major) of zombies spectating just as they are about to die or just as the round is about to end. I don't know if any of these issues are worth fixing, but if so, one thing I can think of is not allowing infected players to spectate at all. That would mean you could only switch to a spectator as a human or if you were dead, although that would probably be a quite unpopular option... >_> But like I said, I'm not sure a fix for these issues is possible or even worth our time.

Also, there is already a ZH thread: http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1963

Not that big of a deal to be honest- just get on with it -w-

[Fused]

I suggest posting this issue either here or here.

I understand its an ongoing issue, and imo we need a ban for any zombie that ragequits, no matter what. Also longer bans, in case multiple ragequits happen by the same person.

[Metal]

If I'm in the server and I see it happen, I usually kick or ban people who quit upon infection if they're not banned automatically. It takes away from the game to quit like that, and isn't that the whole point of the game mode? It's not called 'Spectate as soon as you become infected and leave the initial zombie to do the rest of the work'.

[CloudFlash]

I think that the solution to this are longer maps. Think about it:
People who rage spectate lose only like 2 or 3 minutes of the game. Then they can join the next game and everything's well. It is usually barely enough to grab a sandwitch or something like that. Meanwhile on WDI, where maps take at least 10 minutes, rage quits and rage spectates are much less common, because 10 minutes is hella long. If people spectate at, say, the beggining of the map, they risk getting killed immediately after next map's murd is chosen. So they might theoritically waste 20 minutes. Hella lotsa of time, if compared to zh's 4 or 5 minutes.
Please tell me you get what I'm saying. Please.[/size]

Meanwhile on WDI

WDI also boosts up the murderer's sanity and it's a really good thing/idea.

I hate people that spect when they become zombie, they should be banned more than 10 mins, because that destroy the gameplay, if they don't want to be a zombie don't come in this mode.

[one_Two]

Didn't even know this was a thing, pathetic that people would do this.

1 hour ban? O.o

First, I don't know if that's possible, but could a mod merge this topic with this one ? I'd like to avoid having multiple threads about ZH.

Second, IIRC Zzombo implemented a feature in his "usual addon" that keeps track of rqers.
To my knowledge, it isn't possible to keep track of players that disconnect and reconnect. I guess it will be possible only when Zandronum has an account system.
That's why I guess Zzombo's feature only works with players that spectate and do not leave the server. Otherwise, we might penalize a newly connected player or a player that had to leave the game for a good reason.
Considering it's pretty easy to make a "reconnect" bind, I'm not so sure it's worth implementing anything right now.

[Fuzzball]

You also have the problem of accidently disconnects? It can and has happened- so banning isn't always the way to go...

[Konar6]

I wonder how the mod would play if it was made as kind of LMS - when infected, the player would be simply removed from the game. One zombie vs humans. But I realize that everything from maps to scripts would have to be changed and it is too late to do it now.

Also, I've added a server on Texas GV so, South Americans enjoy :p

[ibm5155]

Oh, I may have only 100ping but it would be epic :D.
but i would suffer from keyboard delay ;--; it's worse than a 666ping

[shayanomer]

Could you please post the music used in the mod? I would really like to know

[Xsnake]

Which music(s) are you refering to ? Those played by the radio or some particular maps theme ?

There is a problem with me, when i download the resources, it isn't in the format of Acs. (It is in txt)
