Zombies? In Quake?!

[MadGypsy]

WHy not just go with the zombie norm - infection. Team A are Rangers and Team B are zombies, you have to kill the zombies before they infect you. Round ends when everyone is infected or all zombies are dead. Really, this is just a spin on freeze-tag if you think about it. Instead of freezing, you are infected. Maybe zombies can use melee weapons - which adds a lil spin that a zombie may infect you or just kill you.

simple.

I played the hell out of CS:S zombie mod. The servers were always pretty full too.

Well, I missed the oct 31 deadline, but i can post the source/mod for others to play for a minute...

it's kinda fun,

i'll play e1m1 and its just a bunch of grunts, then when you kill a grunt it gibs into a zombie, and then all grunts respawn endlessly...

might be fun for peeps to see what i changed... kinda what i was trying to accomplish with my 'lets make a mod' thread.

I'm just trying to think of a fun mod that utilizes a monster with gameplay strategy that will bring new players around for a minute or two

any suggestions?

I had an idea for a zombie mod floating around my head for some time, but I suck at QC, so I never were able to make this.

Basically my idea was a bit similar to the old "Gauntlet" arcade game. Players start together and scattered around the map there are destroyable "portals" where zombies spawn from time to time.
You kill a zombie, you get 1 frag. You kill a player, you lose some frags. The round ends, when all "portals" are destroyed, the player with most frags wins.

This would make it some kind of competetive coop while being playable on your own as well.

I don't like the endlessly reviving Quake-zombies, though. I would've wanted "my" zombies to stay down, when shot in the head.

But as I said, I don't get programming. I'm a combination of too stupid and too lazy to invest a lot of time to learn it right

To me its always zombie hunting season not just on Halloween. i would kill some undead even on valentines day!

@inkshock - so you need a destroyable portal and a constantly spawning zombie system for as long as there is at least one portal (primarily). That's not a hell of a lot of code, my friend. you can use a keyboard, so the "too stupid" thing is discredited. now you just need to get past the "too lazy" part. make your own destroyable portal and you will be addicted.

There's a clue in there too. Don't focus on "Zombie mod". Focus on one element of it, cpomplete it and go to the next element. Make your goal to finish an element and never focus on the ultimate goal until you get to the last thing. Of course you still hav to consider the entirety but, building a zombie mod is far more complicated than building a destroyable portal and then a spawn system that ties into the portal, etc.

Just changing the way that you look at something can make a huge difference.

This thread conjures up two words:

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS



NOW there's a MOD I could get behind

I'm actually watching this right now!!! 'tube video trailer here:

Wow, just when I thought that Antony and Cleopatra (Heston) was the worst movie ever created, other movies pop up that shove it even further down.

Ha!

[damage_inc]

Nah dude, you got it all wrong! That movie was tits... literally! And blood and gore haha. Seriously, it was hellarious. At least for a slow Sunday afternoon

I purposely wrote my response confusingly. Read it again. The fact is, no matter how good a movie is, as new ones are created all the below becomes further down. See what I did? I said nothing.

I love women but I'm not a fan of tit movies. Not that that looked all that scary, but I don't like horror movies either. I'm pretty 1 dimensional on movies - Kung Fu. I like some other stuff but, not really. When I watch kung fu movies I can place myself right there. I get so immersed with the battles.

Movies that aren't kung-fu but worthy, I'd generally rather read the book.
