Zombie Escape

[samm5506]

[B]Description[/B]
Zombie Escape is a popular gamemode for Counter-Strike: Source, now available for Garry's Mod. Players initially spawn as humans, and after a short amount of time, an infection outbreaks. Humans are able to 'push' zombies back with their weapons. Each weapon has its own stats, which affects the amount of push. The humans must escape the infection by reaching the end of the map, otherwise the zombies will succeed.

[B]Features[/B]
- Map messages sent to the HUD (instead of chat)
- Zombie damage display
- Zombie knockback/push system
- Bosses display health bars
- Zombie arms weapon
- Simple weapon selection menu
- Win screen overlays (Thanks to [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/snoipa/"]Snoipa[/URL])
- Automated map changing after max rounds
- Decreased zombie health and infection time with larger amount of players
- Disabled Bunny Hop
- Configurable settings

This looks nice.

[Remscar]

Great work Sam.

[[RYD3R]]

I'm going to try this out, It looks nice. Good job! :)

[bonickhausen]

So it's zombie survival, minus the camping, more like a gauntlet-style zombie survival?

Great work Sam - Zombie Escape is awesome.

[wishbone]

Very good work!

[nick_9_8]

Looks awesome :D

Congrats.

[samm5506]

Thank you for all of the positive feedback! :)

Added GMod Beta support. There are a few small issues with the HUD, such as the weapon selection menu, but no obvious bugs.

[knoxed]

Playing this since last year. Nice work Sam.

[LawnBriefing]

Looks awesome, I'm an addict of the Aliens zombie escape server on CSS and this looks even better.

[Sicojnr]

It has been really fun testing this and it is a great gamemode. Great job Sam!

[Mitchell]

Great Gamemode but admins change freaking map everytime when they got bored it. Admin commands unbalance

[T1dal]

Good game mode and servers, fun conversion from the CSS Gamemode which is fun too.

[rookwood101]

I'm gonna set up a gmod 13 server to test this out.

Edit: Damnit gmod 13 server for linux is fucked

Edit2: I think I've almost got it!

Edit3: nope, damn lua cache not downloading

[samm5506]

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;36183742]Great Gamemode but admins change freaking map everytime when they got bored it. Admin commands unbalance[/QUOTE]

There are no admin commands that come with this gamemode. However, there is a default maximum amount of rounds of 8 before the map changes.

This is some of the most fucked up shit I've ever seen half sandbox half zombie escape:

Make sure you start up the server with "gamemode ZombieEscape" in the server.cfg. Garry's Mod Beta servers are a little different.

[rookwood101]

Ok so still can't get it working, but I can give you the information I am getting from it.

Things you should know:
I'm running this on linux (ubuntu) so it barely works anyway (took me ages to get the gm13 server booting at all)

I just can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do. The lua seems to be the thing that is breaking - when I join I get an error about it not being able to download the cache. AND it can't be to do with me having sv_downloadurl on (fast download) as I have tried it without and it still doesn't work.

Also when I attempt to change map:

Thoughts anyone?

[lorde banana]

well first of all net_maxfilesize is for Source's download system, not FastDL

second, try accessing a file on FastDL directly. from here I'm getting 403 access denied errors.

I am able to access the files on there:
[url="http://64.120.176.98/garrysmodbeta/maps/ze_minecraft_v1_1_gm.bsp"]See?[/url]

Also discovered the problems causing [I]some[/I] of the errors, I forgot to mount counter strike :suicide:

BUT still doesn't work alas.

Edit: Actually, what the hell am I on, need to test with ze_ maps.

Would someone mind helping test this?:

The content pack does not auto download though, so you'll need to get it beforehand.

[editline]4th June 2012[/editline]

Wait what, the counterstrike stuff has broken again and it's still mounted???

Got small suggestion "Can you please add pushing "prop_physics" stuff with weapon bullets?"

[samm5506]

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;36197786]Got small suggestion "Can you please add pushing "prop_physics" stuff with weapon bullets?"[/QUOTE]

Could you give an example where this is needed or used? I wasn't aware this is a feature in zombie escape.

[rookwood101]

[QUOTE=samm5506;36198558]Could you give an example where this is needed or used? I wasn't aware this is a feature in zombie escape.[/QUOTE]

On some of the levels there are vending machines and bookcases that are designed to be shot and to block the zombies' paths.

[Dr Hax]

hey, im a noob with gamemodes, so i was wondering where i should put the "zombie escape" folder at, sorry for being a noob lol.

[Phoenixf129]

[QUOTE=rookwood101;36205786]On some of the levels there are vending machines and bookcases that are designed to be shot and to block the zombies' paths.[/QUOTE]

I suggest heavily you snip out your RCon password AND change it.

This may or may not be related to the problem you're having:

[rookwood101]

[QUOTE=samm5506;36216420]This may or may not be related to the problem you're having:[/QUOTE]

I assume it must be partly to do with that, although I [I]have[/I] managed to get it working (took me a lot of googling) but running the zombie escape on it is a bit flaky. I think I'll just wait it out until update 20.

[editline]6th June 2012[/editline]

Also, thanks for implementing the knockback variable! I suggest you put it in the main post. The reason why I thought you should add it is because There was [B]not enough[/B] knockback, so I'm not sure changing the default value downwards was wise. Taking all things into account I tested it and a value of 6-7 worked well. Although obviously different people will prefer it different ways.

Another thing I was wondering was if you could include the GUI you have on your server in with it as it would be useful to have the information in that form (unless you already are and it's just not working)

[rookwood101]

I submitted a pull request with some things I thought would be beneficial:
[URL="https://github.com/samuelmaddock/zombie-escape/pull/3"]https://github.com/samuelmaddock/zombie-escape/pull/3[/URL]

* a variable for whether zombie health should regenerate
* a better default value for knockback (to make it feel more like the original cs:s one)
* made the bars on map messages last for the length of time that the message says (if applicable)
* added a couple of cs:s weapons (that you missed?/didn't want?)

I think I'll attempt to work on this tomorrow if OP is all right with that?
