Zombie HORDE - The mappack project! (11 / r27) 14/12/2015

[Stiff]

Hey, Deluxe and I wanna make a ZM and probably a future ZE map, can we?

Well participating is allways great.
But we have a small problem:

As you can see, the mapslots are full.

[Camiel]

is that small problem going to be solved?

Slots aren't important. Make a map if you like; name it MAP01 and if it's good enough, we will find a slot for it. That's how it should have been working since the very beginning.

Note that Rabbit mentioned the idea of naming the testpack maps TExx/TMxx and I think that's a pretty good idea. Once the mappack gets updated and the testpack emptied, we will likely use that system. That's why I don't want any new map in the testpack for now.

maybe encourage people to work on ZM rather then ZE, as there are (almost) twice the ZE maps then ZM.

I'm working on a zm map, the main idea is there, now it only needs detailing xD (and maybe I'll need to increase the map size, it's big, but it may suffer from the same problem as guardsoul's zm map)

[Kaminsky]

The way at which map slots are taken among the mappers should be based on who's the first person to complete their map(s) and submit them. For instance, there are some map slots taken that aren't showing any progress or results, leaving the slot reserved for nothing. There are other mappers who are waiting for their maps to be approved, which unfortunately, cannot be done at the moment.

Speaking of map slots, I am curious about the ZM07 slot. Will "Virtual" ever return into the map pack (after some refining) or be replaced by another map?

I think some sort of middle ground between these two ideas would be best. Maps can be made without the map name/slot being an issue, and should be judged based on their quality. But I also think mappers who are punctual in submitting their work and actively involved in improving/updating their maps should get priority.

A tutorial ? Statistics ? Do we really need those ? I don't think so. Besides, most of your stats are irrelevant to me.
On top of that, I haven't checked your code in detail, but what if a player keeps puking script 65 ? The server will send them the cvars values through a clientside scripts mechanism each time the script is triggered, making it possible to spoil the server bandwidth
IMO you're focusing on what's around the map rather than on the map itself.

A tutorial ?

Some people requested me, and ask many times to teach they how to find/active things, so I decide to make an offline tutorial (nothing special here)

Statistics ? Do we really need those ? I don't think so.

I need :S I can't wait for the next zm09 on server (each 1 hour) for see what'll happen D:
So I decided to make a map statistic, so I would be able to know everything that's going on the game, balance better the gameplay,...(also check if

puke 65 will only be called each 80 tics, you cannot call it betw this time, and by server bandwidth checked serverside, it used almost nothing :p

IMO you're focusing on what's around the map rather than on the map itself.

Well I don't have as many time as I had on the start of zm18/09, so I'm doing what I can on my free time D:,and I'm only fixing the gameplay for now, making spots less op or more, and making anormal things coming less time if they're summoned most of the time, with statistics I would be able to check how balanced the map is without playing one round :D...
I don't know if you guys think the map is big enough, I could large it even more, open some doors inside third floor, open some areas inside cave,... but only if the map now isn't big enough :p

Also to not waste your time use this, copy and paste testpack on the left and then the new one on the right and just compare, you'll see what change xD (It doesn't gave me a link, and when I send by e-mail, it crashes D:, so you'll need to manually compare it :S)
zm09 testpack15 acs
zm09 new script

Since my internet back, I'll post the high quality music pack :D

EDIT:uh this place looks so messy what about a thread, or another place for people post their updates/new maps?

something like this:
"map name", "version" - "update date", "status", "Download Link"
ZM20 1.0 - 02-22-2014, alpha, requiring feedback,Download Link
ZM09 1.4 - 02-21-2014, not on testpack,Download Link
ZE30 ? - 11-10-2013, on mappack 8,Download Link
ZE50 0.4 03-01-2015, rejected ,Download Link
this would make eaiser for people to test new maps, and even find updates xD

Just make a video like RabbitLord did..

[Fused]

After some mp tests and tweeks, i guess i can call this a beta. Experiment isn't added yet, because i want to keep it secret untill the testpack after.

http://static.[bad site]/wads/ze29betav1.0.wad

Also the resource pack again. I think i did some changes, but i only remember making FSDPLANT unsolid.

EDIT: i am aware that radius_quake doesnt work. It is a Zandronum bug which is fixed in Zandronum 2.0

It works, but they re limited to a short time, even if you put a high value

Started the minecraft map.

Mspark your map is way too messy, so i'm fully redoing it.

inb4 stop making maps and focus on your finished maps

Use the current Minecraft water texture instead, the old one is ugly. :#

Yeah but i'm having issues with that. I can only find textures like these, and most are only 1 frame. Like the fire, i can only find one. It sucks, so if you have some, please share.

Yes i have them. All are found in (version number).jar

[ibm5155]

why dont you use a scroll on that water? and, put a texture on it, minecraft isn't transparent :B

[Fused]

I already got all textures. I also got all frames now because of Vincent, thanks for that by the way.

It might take quite the size im afraid, but there is no other way if you want a minecraft map.

Some minecraft textures are transparent.
The water and portal are already transparent when exported.
