I also loved this shit.
My computer could pretty much only run the red queen map because of how basic it was.
Set ragdolls to max with collision. Bodies everywhere.
When I tried to play some years ago, it felt more like I was an outside observer to an inside joke.
I miss this mod. Will the second ever be finished?

The development team for ZM2 has said that they will not update the mod anymore.

So, ZM2 will never come out then?
Zm2 is out, just not gonna be further updated
[QUOTE=freaka;48323188]I didnt know where to post this so I posted it here in the most recent thread. Anyway, Im currently trying to install ZM again to play with a couple of friends, but I keep getting errors with Source SDK base 2006. Im installing it from steam but it keeps saying that the files from the servers is missing.
What should I do? I really want to play this game again.[/QUOTE]
You're going to need to lookup fixes for steampipe and the SDK base migration that occurred some time ago as it broke a lot of older mods like ZM. Last I knew ZM2 worked fine and was essentially the same game too so you could also just do that.

Weirdly enough sdk 2006 decided to download now after I restarted my computer. thanks for the help though
Alright so ZM1 is ALIVE. There is one server that is almost filled. HOWEVER the server is shit. The owners are abusive as fuck breaking all the maps ruining the fun for everyone else.

Just look at that, this is what killed ZM in the first place.
The survivors NEVER won whenever I played this game.

I don't know about you, but we almost always won whenever I played crocodile.

It was pretty easy to win as survivors, unless you had some braindead retards in your team.
The easiest map for survivors was probably the shittiest, yet most popular one, red queen... I fucking hate this map and the person who created it. That map alone destroyed this great mod, don't let me start on servers with "upgrades".
Back to "survivors never winning".
As long as your teammates knew the map and objectives and had general idea about trap locations, it really wasn't that hard to overcome.

Yeah, the reason I stopped playing is that I spent a few minutes cycling through a few servers and every fucking one either had that stupid upgrade system or was on red queen so I just gave up.
Can someone explain why red queen was popular because it was easily the worst map
Anyone who has followed ZM for any length of time knows how cursed the game lineage is. The first game was discontinued for various reasons, and since then there's been countless 'attempts' at a sequel, then Black Edition and Zombie Master 2, both of which have been trapped on development hell or discontinued all together depending on the level of your optimism.
Quite the shame really.

Resident Evil. Also, it's easy to learn so new players build confidence in that map quickly making them likely to return.
Would love Zombie Master to work, can never get on a ZM2 server or find one
Best map was the gas station one with the tornado effect,nhated all those dull grey ones same with the ship
Fuck this was such a great game

It was a relatively simple map that ran well on pretty much any computer. It didn't require too much exploring so it allowed the zombie master to focus more on a massive crowd than picking off people who journey off alone.

I loved the Cagefight map. It was really atmospheric & tense, survivors usually got shat on though.
Upgrade servers were the best, I remember there being a server with a vague super jump upgrade, no one knew how it worked but I was playing like at 1 am and figured it out how to use it. It pushed you forward as you tapped the key that you binded it, so I you superjumped at a certain angle in some round map edges you would fly off. But you'd never survive the landing. (Though it did make some maps utterly bad until it got removed.)
I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather have upgrades and Red Queen over that Reneamon (I think) server with Friendly Fire.
There was no penalty at all for shooting your teammates, so people constantly killed each other so they could get a weapon or simply for the sake of le ebin trolling.
I remember this one furry server that had Sonic models on it and was populated by players who seemed like the kind of people who would go on 4chan in 2006. Good times.
i'd like to host a uk ZM2 server i've set it up but when i run it scrds crashes can anyone give pointer on setting a server up
We should all pitch in for a server, ill cover the monthly cost?
[QUOTE=Arc Nova;48340328]We should all pitch in for a server, ill cover the monthly cost?[/QUOTE]
Yeah do it if you can, the current only big server is basically darkrp admins running zombie master.
I have no experience running a server but ill totally fund it
Is the server gonna be ZM1 or ZM2 if it gets set up
Preferably 2
Dont bother with ZM2, its dead and the server browser isnt working on it. Nobody is playing ZM2 anymore, everyone moved back to ZM1
Yeah, I'd go with ZM1 just like Freaka said.
Zombie Master 1 is what got me into memes. What was it Melons or Oranges server? The deathrun maps

Nachos and Melons, I believe.
