What is Zombie Torrent 2?

The product of several years' worth of work, Zombie Torrent 2 is a cooperative invasion mod for Doom and Doom II. Inspired by the likes of Killing Floor, ZT2 uses a wave-based gamemode with a between-wave trader time. Each game lasts 10 waves, the last ending in a showdown with a final boss. When the boss is defeated, the next level is played. Several KF-esque additions are also added to the mod, such as selectable voicepacks and an optional slot machine system.

Available Maps:

Only a handful of "official" ZT2 maps exist, but more will be added as time goes on. Feel free to make your own as well.

As of right now, Zombie Torrent 2 is in ALPHA STATUS. After years of work, it's making its first public release. As it stands, this is basically a solo project and I've done 90% of the work on it. Unfortunately, my coding is very sloppy and the mod needs a lot of improving. However, I and others believe it has potential. Your testing is appreciated, and suggestions are more than welcome. ZT2 is my grubby firstborn child and I can't take care of it alone!

If you're curious about anything then post in the thread or let me know, I'm willing to answer any and all questions. Some things might be a little hard to understand, but I'm willing to help. I hope you enjoy the mod as much as I did making it.

This is Cacoward-worthy!!

I remember when you first started this. It seemed like only yesterday. Amazing effort you put into this.


Btw, how smoothly does the mouse in the trader menu function online? I assume you made the pointer-moving part of the script clientside. And does it break for players like me who use inverted-Y aim?

Apparently so, yes. And sadly the pointer-moving part of the script is serverside, that's one of the lag-worthy things that needs major work. Maybe sending a puke request to the server when you click with the X and Y coords or something.

Funny you mention that, I just dug up Imp Attack not too long ago. The foundation of the wave system is still brought from that mod. :wink:

Played this a little bit today. The mods got a lot of potential but it feels like this was playtested very little for mp.

- Monsters are slow and pose no threat what so ever. Unlike killing floor where you quickly get swarmed, this is a snoozefest while you wait for the monsters to slowly spawn in and shuffle towards you.
- It could use some more interesting monsters and monster variation instead of the shuffle slowly towards you types.
- Monsters can get stuck in their spawn areas.
- Gun balance is wacky and off. for example STEN > all other commando guns except the ravager (recoil is epic though).
- The boss in map03 spawns in the bedroom and can't get out. IT also has more health than you can ever pump bullets into it. After 50 grenades and 1000 bullets not even 1/10th of it's health bar was gone. I didn't see the other bosses because the waves progress so slowly and it's boring to just stand around waiting for monsters to spawn. Provide more action.
- No sound effect when throwing do$h? Unplayable!

Overall it's a cool mod but it really needs some gameplay tweaking.

To elaborate on Frit's remarks further:

-Only the zombie doges pose a threat given their leaping and speed, others are mostly melee and big explosion grenade cannon fodder.
-Demoman's guns are so expensive compared to the other classes, your lucky to get one per map D:
-Apart from the A.I being slow and laughable their are so few mobs, it should be like 50 on 1st wave, then going over 100 for the next ones.
-What is up with the weird rap music? O_O :? xD

Guess I'll be the first person to make some addons for this great mod.

Video Preview:
phpBB [media]


CS:GO Heavy Phoenix voice pack.
Thought his voice would fit ZT2's atmoshpere.

Weapon Resound.
Default ZT2 weapon sounds felt kinda meh in my opinion, so here's a try at resounding them. I suppose you can put that one in your skins folder if you want to use it on servers.

DOOM 2016 Music.
DOOM 2016 Music with no ACS scripts.
ZT2's music choice is wierd. There are tracks of completely different styles and some of them don't fit at all. Some tracks were overused in many other games and projects before.
There are two versions for you to choose from: ACS and non-ACS.
First one includes a few more tracks than the other one and displays correct labels for music.
Non-ACS version is usable on servers through the use of skins folder, while ACS version is not.

Also, nerf the damn skulls. Their bash attacks are way to damaging and they can wipe the whole four player team in less than a second by ramming and then firing at point blank.

I'm not exactly a balance kind of person, that's another reason I posted it here. Feedback is helpful, thank you. Also keep in mind that the boss's health scales based on the amount of players in the game.

I'll keep everything in mind, non-ACS is meant to be used by server hosts to have server-specific music. Something like that. Music suggestions would be appreciated too.

Cranus are pointlessly OP and that's something I noticed, I'll try to fix it in 2.7.

EDIT: The "weird rap music" is more of a proof of concept. That's the Max Anarchy music, leave it out if you'd like. Mostly for modders.

So, since the modding packages are there can i assume its safe to create weapon expansions? nothing over the top, besides I dont think even I could come up with something that beats the Corpse Raper... >_>

I tried this out with my brother the other day and it was surprisingly easy on even UV. I like that the enemies aren't spawned so fast you don't even know what happens, but they are currently spawned so slowly that you don't even need to headshot them to spawncamp them all to death, with the exception of the chaingunner dudes and the flying skulls, which are annoying rather than challenging anyway.
I would like to see a greater variety of enemies, not that unrealistic number of those annoying dogs, that BTW are the only real threat of the standard enemies, and a unique boss specially made for each map. I understand that the mod is new, but it is something to aim for down the road. :)

I like the overall feel of this mod and I'm quite interested in seeing where this will go in the future. Keep it up, you're doing great.

Made this in about 15 minutes time, still needs a reload animation :P
AnimTest.gif
And no, it's not a deagle. it may be animated like one but its a 5.7x28mm pistol and my interpretation of The Order Pistol >_>

If you want to use it Zed, say so and I'll pm the frames for you to tear apart for use in a TEXTURES animation.

Weapon upgrades aren't moddable yet, but yes. You can add extra weapons just fine.

It definitely needs some balancing, enemies were never exactly my thing. But I'll look into it.

Bump. Added a GitHub repository, fixed all of the broken links, and added a new video. Keep track of things on GitHub from now on, things might pick up a bit.
