I don't expect, that much interest will be taken to this, so I'll start off by saying that I am creating this thread purely for my own amusement.
Although Ideas and comments are always welcome (Duh [retard] ). alrighty so without any further adieu, the only thing that I can call 100% finished ATM....
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2jb6rg3.jpg) Yep zombie hands (like I needed to say that ::) )
Sawed off Shotgun: (http://i44.tinypic.com/op7plv.png)
Molotov : (http://i40.tinypic.com/e0g8ev.png) (looks much better ingame)

Zombie gosteks: (http://i39.tinypic.com/117z0jo.png)
Just to set down some goals for myself:
Be awesome
Be Epic
And remember that life comes first. (the only thing on the list that doesn't come naturally to me)
Remember, If you are going to post any Ideas, keep in mind that this is a WWI mod, so no LAZORZ AND MEGA BLASTZOR RIFLEZ!!!! -The Management
-
Heh they look nice!
I hope you'll adapt it to zombie servers or they will adapt to you
-
Yeah this is for the (WM) Last Stand Server Mod, I play there all the time so I felt I need a mod to use.
Here is the IP and port if you are interested IP: 84.250.25.167 Port: 23074

Oh, if this is for LS then I'll give you a couple hints.
- The minigun should look like some portable FLAK-cannon. Improvise!
- Knife should be a molotov cocktail
I know that these ideas aren't suitable for a WW1 mod, but if you're going to make it for LS then I think you should.
NOTE: There's actually 3 LS servers

I have the molotov almost finished and I'm thinking of a improvised auto mortar launcher for the flak gun.

Does anyone know, where you can download the script from the last stand server?

You can't, it's "closed".
Pretty much to prevent too many servers with the script and a thousand copies of it.

You probably dont want script, just way to do in weapon mod what is possible. It's something based on m79/law/grenade/flamed arrows bullet type for knife and certain values of speed etc.

Quick update... : Mauser c96 : (http://i41.tinypic.com/13yoyvb.png)

Shorten the sawed off, work with the barrels to make 'em look rounder.
-
The sawed off is a Winchester Trenchgun so if I shortened it anymore it wouldn't look right.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "make the barrel look rounder" could you elaborate?

You did say sawed off, so it should look sawed off :/
But it's your call mate, your mod.
And nvm with the rounder, just pictured it and it wouldn't look good anyways, kinda hard to explain.

Wasn't planning on showing anyone this because its for the other expansion but.... It will clear things up. Here is the full trenchgun (http://i43.tinypic.com/14j7szt.png)

Yeah... I tryed changing the bullet style of the knife to 5 (grenade) and instead of blowing up when I threw it, it blows up when you swing the blade, thus blowing myself up ::)

Sounds like a good addition to the original mod my friend! Can't wait to see it :)

Just want to mention this: the zombie gosteks change as damage is inflected. Example, The damage the the head is as follows. Its starts out looking like your normal, pale bluish green faced zombie, then after losing enough HP, the face is torn away and the brains are exposed. Epic yes/no? ;D
-
You know, the default ranny tried to do just that. I can only wish you have better luck on your attempt.
-

The Default ranny only made the character look bloody, while I am going to make actual "damage" such as exposed bone, and brains :)
-
Make the ranny look like a brain first.
5x5 pixel head.
I doubt its possible to do it with 'chunk by chunk' due to the appearing of the wounds by decreasing their transparency.
-
True, that you cant do it LITERALLY chunk by chunk, but because the gostek gfx are so small in the first place you can give it the appearance of slow damage. I already have beta zombie gosteks and the plan is working fairly good.
Yea...nother question... What program should I use for map making? Because I would kind of like some maps, for this mod.

Just as a note, If anyone ever has an Idea for a weapon, feel free to speak your mind.
-
Old, rusty spike gun. Of course modified to look like weapon.
-
I'm trying to think of how to go about that...Care to give any details?
-
Make
socom a gun shoot arrows with low speed and high damage?

Well, I already have the Mauser c96 filling the socom slot so...

So try make "slow automatic weapon that fires deadly spikes at enemies. The weapon is fed by chains of nails, which typically contain 20 nails." You did good job with flak cannon so it shouldn't be hard for you.

Also, I don't really like the name that I have for this mod so far, could anyone else come up with a better one?

2:Name for mod?:

My title: Undead Company. As for nail gun, looks better without last bow part, but could be more rounded if you do that.
From: May 12, 2010, 10:16:41 pm
As for gl or rl try something that shoots things filled with hot oil.
-
~:|To End all Wars|:~ {Undead company} sounds good to me...
As for the hot oil....To kill a zombie you need to destroy the brain, so oil is kind of useless.
-
Hot oil wouldn't be any problem to destroy a zombie, as it burns the body like fire.
(Really, you can't know how to destroy a zombie anyways)
It would be a improvised weapon, but I don't think it would make any sense at all to make it.
-
Well, when it comes down to it, a zombie is just flesh and blood like all other humans, and like humans the central "command area" is the brain. So IF it is not physically possible for a normal LIVING human to move and have even the slightest thoughts without a brain then the same should apply to zombies.

I just had a really cool idea (any idea that might save me some time is a is a great idea in my book ;D) if everyone could contribute 1 part of the gosteks it could look really good if it is executed properly.

You never read the zombie survival thingy, right?
Neither have I.
But I do remember someone stating very clearly that fire will only cause a shitstorm of fuckery all around you, when used against zombies.
It burns the body but the don't feel pain so they just keep going for their meal.
How about and StG 44 instead?
-
Unless I am much mistaken, the STG 44 was invented well AFTER WWI.
Also, setting "Live" zombies on fire is not generally recommend unless you have a well contained situation.

Oh yeah, forgot we're talking WW1, StG 44 was designed on command for Hitler xD
Hmmm, how about a simple bug killing toxin, sprayed out of a hose connected to a back tank, like the flamethrower then? (Except without the whole tank thing unless it's somehow possible, which I doubt).
I mean, the first people to actually be able to survive a zombie apocalypse that come to mind are farmers xD
-
Oh yeah, the Molotov Cocktail was invented during the second world war.

All a molotov cocktail is, is a glass with gasoline and a bit of cloth to act as a fuse.... Its not hard to believe that people from the early 20th century could have figured that out. ::)

As for that oil weapon, I thought about alternate explosives to molotov cocktail with bigger range and damage (coz it's initial speed).

m79 : molotov cocktail lanucher
grenade : molotov cocktail

We're talking about glass bottles with highly flammable fuel in 'em.

Spanish Civil War.
Fin's came up with the name.

Yeah, so after WWI but I don't really care.

Well, in this expansion soldiers coming back to life, so they can be dead alive during and after WWI, but using same arsenal, because it's still not WWII. For dead not too much difference, just another flesh to consume.

No, story line.
Hell, easiest solution: Make it a post WW1 mod.
As to the Ribeyrolle, good work.

Since I seen this expansion mod, I remember about Nazi Zombies in COD 5... :D
Wait, why you use molotov cocktail as grenade? How about stick grenade?

NY Times: Headline News.
German scientists, while attempting to formulate a new form of poison gas to use on the battle front, have accidentally created some kind of "postmortem stimulant" that causes the infected corpses to rise from death. The undead bodies of our once fallen brothers seem to have a unholy desire for human flesh, we warn both, soldiers on the battlefield, and citizens of America, and Europe, these corpses ARE NOT the same being that they once where they have no memory of their former life and are extremely dangerous. Once again, we beg of the people of the world if you see anyone wandering aimlessly with pale lifeless eyes to run to the local authority's and tell them of to undeads location.
Below are several ways of positively identifying the undead:
-pale gray green skin
-an odd moan that seems to come deep within the chest of the suspected
-an undetermined sporadic pattern of movement
-the raising of the arms and hands when seeing another human.

Be aware of this problem. It is NO joke! I repeat, it is NO JOKE! We ask everyone to get armed and to hoard food and electric generators if possible.
I had a similiar idea for a mod 2 years ago, but I cancelled it. Nice to see some pro-modder doing it :)
Good luck with it, the weapons look awesome!

Nice, but the part about the electric generators might have to go :P
Oh yeah, DC....No offense about the German scientist thing ;)

The generator thing was a random idea, I won't miss it too much. And I am crying right now.

Eh...sorry, its just you Germans are so evil when you wear those white lab coats ;D

Great idea just came into my mind; gas masks!!!! so I'll get to work on that ASAP, any other Ideas on gosteks would be appreciated.

Could someone help me by making that logo into a .ico file? I'm really not sure on how to go about that. Or is it possible to take the logo and replace the soldat .exe logo?

It's a simple matter of loading and saving as the proper format.

Ready to launch this expansion, MattH? :)

Nope, not yet at any rate, I'm still waiting for DC to finish the map.

Just use irfan view for ico. Shortcut can be optional for batch file, or directly with -mod command if mod is made into package with installer.
-
Well, seeing as how you're almost done, I suggest releasing the mod as soon as it is 100% ready and polished to the last bit, then releasing the map as a separate add-on or bonus feature.

this mod is gonna be pretty BA when you finish man. i kinda want a new zombie mod to try out and everything but those weapons look pretty rad and everything and i like what you've done with those zombies.
Question though, are u making like sorta a zombie survival type game?
because if so i have been working on something on my own time and all.
and do you know how when your injured bad enough u get blood on your char. etc.?
well, i've been working on putting "bandages" on the legs and all that and so far it looks alright to work with.
if you want the ranny just ask for it

Yes I remember your the thread for your mod. I am working on adding damage to the gosteks, rather then bandages (as a zombie wouldn't bother to apply a bandage to his wounds) just for the realism. The only problem that I am facing with the zombie gosteks right now is the hair, I've already made the Mr.T hairstyle into a gas mask and I'm just trying to get other ideas for random hairstyles.

MattH... why not have some zombies with only half heads and exposed brains? Think, if you're making zombies... have them in soldier uniforms, some with masks... some without, some with Soldiers helmets, others with exposed brain...

make 2 seprate gosteks, 1 for normal soldiers, the other for the deadites
slightly, modify the deadites hairstyles- for example the gas masks, add numeerous blood stains and bullet holes on em so they look actually dead.
OR
Just for added effect, instead of headgear for the zombies, why not... different types of head injuries?
Army- Decapitated (just smear lime green all over the morda files and you get a transparent head)
Normal-Gunshot wound(s)
Dreds- Trench knife
Mr.T- Exposed brain
nevermind. too late.
-
Others without any heads at all ;d
Or at least one quarter of their head left xD
-
I've never heard of a zombie that was a threat with out a head.

whenever theres holy water involved, theres always something supernatural about the zombie. so think of it as evil spirits possessing the dead soldiers. zombies don't feel pain, because they're already dead, hence its quite logical to see a headless one roaming around every now and then.
