Ok. I got started making a map for this mod. It's basically a railroad pathway through an apartment block... [etc]

Awesome, that's sweet.

I'm still playing games like Garry's Mod, rather than building maps in Polyworks ... I've just had a craving for 3D contraption-building lately.

I have always wanted to try out Garry's Mod.

Aww yeaa, getting caged in dumpsters, being flung 300 yards, and dying in space.

The game is priceless.

Do you have to download it? Or does it come with HL2?

So are you guys going to do a meathook type thing like in dota with the smoker?

$10. You also have to own a source game.

Progress updated as of today. Read the first post for more information.

Oh yeah, I have holidays for two weeks right now

So, I really got time to do the scripting stuff.

I also would appreciate if danmer is going to help me with it because
he can speak from experience in consideration of the fact
that he already created a zombie rpg script

u know what would be good also

u know the gray giant muscle one isnt they call him Tank im not sure but would be good to add him he would be like the boss with strong damage and full health with strong body and bonuses that would make it harder

:D and the respawn time would be long when he respawns but im not sure if this is good idea what do u think ??

:D

Epic mod for an epic game, can't wait for dis.

Changing the physiology of the bots is something I'm completely clueless on. I know, of course, that we can mess with bots through the Bonuses, and through lowering their health to make weaker zombies (to emulate the horde of commoner zombies). For emulating the tank, we could slap on some armor bonus and berserk? We could mess with specific hair/helmets for changing his physical appearance as well... I'm sure.

The map still hasn't been touched, but while playing Left 4 Dead, I got a burst of inspiration and ideas. The map is usually the thing that has to come first (aside from normal modding of gfx), as that determines the specific required coordinates.

Edit:
Too bad there isn't anything in Soldat that you can shoot and have explode (ex. oil barrels; gas cans)

Blacksheepboy · « **Reply #54 on:** April 02, 2009, 05:41:45 pm »

Had a great idea, but it won't work sadly enough..

An idea I had for the pipe bomb was:

A weaponless bot is going to be driven with the urge to pick up something with which to defend itself, rather than using fists. So I thought, well, why not then just make a weapon that, when it is picked up and used, explodes the zombie and every other zombie around it. So I made the classic suicide-bomb chainsaw, but renamed it as the pipe bomb.

The reason why this will not work is because, in order for the zombie that picked up the pipe bomb to kill other zombies around it is by having 'Friendly Fire' on. But, with friendly fire enabled, all the zombies in a horde just kill each other before they ever reach the Alpha group

aaand I do not know a work-a-around for that

Looks like the grenade will have to suffice as being the 'pipe bomb'

tehsnipah · « **Reply #55 on:** April 02, 2009, 06:10:35 pm »

Ah, I completely forgot about the pipe bombs... But you should still have Barrett for hunting rifle, how are we going to scope?

I would love to have more conversation, but I'll have to do that tomorrow.

Just a reminder: please keep replies on-topic.

Aaight, it was about failure, which was mentioned on the topic so...
As to the thing with making the bots grab only the pipe, it has been tried before yet people always seemed to fail with it, what we need is to get some of the best programmers around here on the forums, and let them work together on a long shot job.

Xxypher · « **Reply #59 on:** April 04, 2009, 03:56:11 pm »

Instead of just the different types of zombies like weak, healthy, and hurt having different amounts of health, they should also slowly degenerate.
