[Project] Survival Games / PR-Z

[Onil]

Hello again,

We have now fixed quite a lot of bugs and issues that we had, mostly with the zombies. So we are very close to a beta test session.

The next event will most likely be on the 27th of July! Mark that in your calender guys

We will announce it at least 2 weeks before (Both in the PR Forum and the 3dAC one) and open signups in the 3dAC forum as usual.

Cheers

The gameplay looks great, i like the whole crossbow thing very much my only recommendation would be reducing the map size somewhat as the density of zombies is far to sparse IMO. . Also with 100p servers and all that, would it be possible to increase the number of zombies? remember when it comes to zombies numbers are always good it gives you the "its the end of the world"/"we are fucked" type of feeling. Good work anyway ill definitely try and make the next event.

[Onil]

The number of zombies will actually be smaller in the event because of the number of players. But if we mod this for 1.0 we will definitely try and host a 100p server to be able to increase the amount of zombies as it works best when it is 3 times the number of survivors instead of being the same number.

However, keep in mind as I said, that the zombies are not your primary adversary. Other survivors are what you should be mostly afraid of, the zombies are there mostly to annoy you and give away your position.

The map size is fine for 9 squads of 3, which is what we used in the previous event. We don't mind if you're not always running into zombies, which actually happens more often than you would think. Besides the fact that we can have an admin as CO of the zombies and guide them to the players if needed be.

We are actually going to use bigger maps in the future, specially for PR-Z, as it will focus more on open world type of game play. We are not developing SGE or PR-Z to be like most zombie mods where its all about run&gun against the zombies, our objective is to allow more mobility and balance it with a proper amount of zombies and survivors that you might run into.

Thanks for the support

Zombie Eli is waiting for you:



This is still WIP, we're always trying to improve our work when it comes to detail.

[lucky.BOY]

Really nice!

[waldov]

Nice model! Forgot to ask, do you become a zombie when you die?

[Onil]

Thanks for the feedback.

You will in PR-Z, probably not in SGE. But we might have an admin playing as zombie sometimes.

Here's Zombie Hunter, the meanest of them all:

[waldov]

Nice, better then omnicides zombies IMO.

[Onil]

Glad you like them Waldov. Here's Zombie Chin:



One more to go and we're ready to test this build

Here he is, Zombie Larry:

We are actually going to use bigger maps in the future, specially for PR-Z, as it will focus more on open world type of game play.

Does that mean we will have a game type that can use the entire Falklands Islands? That would be time consuming but engrossing, I think.

I'd like to see a jungle map too.... just, you know putting it out there.

Here's the current Change-Log:

The CB500 isn't in a working state.

[Onil]

The CB500 isn't in a working state.

As in, what's wrong with it?

We added it quite some time ago and besides not being as maneuverable as the dirt bike, we saw no problem with it. And we really need a large variety of civilian vehicles...

[M42 Zwilling]

Hauteclocque;1921241']The CB500 wasn't in a working state.

Fixed it for ya

(unless there's problems with the model or something I'm not aware of)

This is a repost from the 'Tales from the front' section. Onil asked me to put this here for a more specific target audience.

[xX-=Arrow=-Xx]

Can zombies hurt you when you're in a car?

[Onil]

Can zombies hurt you when you're in a car?

Yes they can.

[Onil]

We're not dead yet... we're still working on porting the minimod to 1.0 and once done we will focus on improving the zombies and modding a new map for the next event.

Now, how long that might take, it is unpredictable.

We are in desperate need of a exporter since we will need to re-export most of the weapon geometries for the kits. If anyone is willing to help us out, please PM me.

Cheers,

SGE Mod Team

I hope one day this is simply a Game type to be voted on.. Zombies vs humans perfect for October. So want....
