Zombie Survival Suggestions!

[DirtyDNA]

Hey everyone as you may or may not know I have recently started doing some work on the zombie survival server. And I want you guys to feel involved too!

 

All I'm asking is that you post your idea for any new maps, weapons, etc. Anything you can think of! And I will try to make it happen ASAP

 

I will let you know how things are going and let you know what is happening with each of your ideas.

[sharp_shooter]

I don't remember who but someone requested that the "adonis pulse rifle" have its firing sound changed to that of half life 2 instead of what it is now. After the guy requested that several others chimed in agreement.

[sharp_shooter]

I had a poll and talked for a while in the game. People responded very positively to these two suggestions.

 

no.1 Revised deadmount, truthfully I hate the current one and so do a ton of other people. The map isn't well optimized, it's small, narrow staircases, hard to move props, and few of those at best. Not to mention the best prop the bedframe usually gets destroyed in the door when trying to move it out of the room. this is why I propose this maphttp://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129722329&searchtext=deadmount It has the same generic idea as the original deadmount except actually good. I tested this out in single player and I love this map.

 

no.2 A new premium weapon. I can safely assume that there are at most 2 people who purchase grim reapers (250 points) per round. Usually 4 at msot for the adonis pulse rifle. For whoever is up to the task be it Kigen, DirtyDNA or whoever knows how to code I propose this add-on as the new top tiered weapon. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=143701287&searchtext=m16 This weapon is so fucking awesome. At the very least download it and use it in your single player experience

 

*edit* forgot dem stats I would hope for

price 300 points

damage 35

ROF 0.1 (like the UMP but maybe a semi-automatic I couldn't decide which would be better)

20 rounds in a magazine.

AR ammo (obvously)

Slows down the player by 25% while they have it out.

 

no.3 I did say 2 but I am too lazy to correct that. Anyways, you know what would be better than an m16? GOD DAMN FISTS. Theres two links and both are quite nice

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=111861987&searchtext=FIST

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=125220678&searchtext=FIST

Both are a lot alike. I'm sitting here begging you for bloody fists. I really want to say in game "I'm going to fist that zombie" yes a bit immature but I really want to say that.

 

Thanks for reading this and I hope you have a good day.

try not to focus on small detail, but rather the idea itself.

 

 

ZOMBIE POINTS (Prevent players from ragequiting round 1 zombie)

 

The first zombies to be selected instantly gain 20 points

 

Each wave that ends, all zombies gain another 20 points

 

papa johns suggestion --> each zombie gets x points for being within x radius of x amount of zombies in the horde

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

QUAKE SOUNDS (increases game immersion)

 

roundstart - Play

first zombie killed - First Blood

first human killed - Perfect

first zombie killed with melee - Humilation

first zombie killed with headshot - Headshot

 

 

***the following sounds are delayed until the next zombie is killed, so sound will not play when you earn points from a resupply box for example***

 

when a human gets 50 points - Rampage

when a human gets 100 points - Multi Kill

200 points - Impressive

250 points - Killing Spree

300 - Unstoppable

400 - Monster Kill

500 - Ludicrouskill

600 - Wicked Sick

700 - Ultra Kill

800 - Dominating

900 - Godlike

 

kill 10 zombies at once- Combowhore

kill 20 zombies at once- Holy Shit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEVEL SYSTEM (keeps our vets around and implement bragging rights)

 

start at level 0

earning points auomatically rank you up

1k points to get to level 1

2k points to get to level 2

and so on..

 

each level you get 1 extra roundstart worth point

each level you get 1 extra hp when you are a zombie

each level lets you use a new weapon, which does not come default with zs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTERMISSION BOSS BIRDS (adds cooperation for the turned players during downtime)

 

Boss bird can peck players for minimal damage, and has an indicator which will lead the crows to his location

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEW RETURNS

 

Engineer Dropout | cannot place turrets, 5 worth

Wide Load | Your deployable object range when close to another person is doubled, 5 worth

Gamble Addiction | You lose 100 points, 20 worth

STD | You lose 10 health when each wave ends, 5 worth

Susceptible | Poison lasts twice as long, 5 worth

I think adding the quake sounds just sorta adds on the extra noise with people constantly talking and the music constanly playing so I think that just adds more annoying noise. :/

 

For the boss bird, yes I do agree that it would be cool, but intermissions are kinda a recovery time for the humans to stock up on ammo an repair. Kinda just feels like the wave would still be going on and the humans would be more focused on the bird then the cade itself.

 

Zombie points is a +1 from me though. Would def keep people around.

[Sir Jeddi00]

Maybe you could select the type of bird?

Like if you wanted to mess around in intermission as a seagull?

Or an albatross?

Or a humming bird?

Or if zombies are still alive during intermission they get a bonus on the start of the next round?

[Sauceome]

LEVEL SYSTEM (keeps our vets around and implement bragging rights)

1k points to get to level 1

2k points to get to level 2

This would be alright, as long as points you've already acquired apply. However, I'm not sure I agree with the extra weapons so much.

 

 

 

I would also like to recommend a point-donation system which, if I recall correctly, was brought up by Jango first and then many people agreed with.

[Magic]

Point trading and point donating is definitely something I would like to see implemented kinda like our donate for rep, HG bux, PERP cash system.

[MyMindIsBlank]

Yea I like all of JJK's ideas except the Intermission boss birds. I think for the points for zombies you could have it like humans do but when you kill humans you get points or use brains you could be able to add health onto your zombie for that game (not permanent). Like a shop for zombies.

[JangoD'soul]

I was thinking they should add 3 new weapon on the server. One of them should be a "Suppressed Sniper Rifle" Its has the same effects as the in-game "Silencer SMG" and the "Stalker Assault Rifle" basically hidden you aura/life sign from zombie, also the stats is a bit better then the "Stubber Rifle". The other two is a classic to kill a zombies that would be a "Bat" bashing some heads-off with knockback and a "Machete" slash with hard force...

I will work on these when I get the chance. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Gamma.CM]

I would like to suggest that abstraction_night be removed from the map rotation because it's repetitive and boring and people only pick it so they can farm points.

 

Also, how about splitting our server into two; one for objective maps, and the other for everything else.

 

Oh, how about giving headcrabs the ability to crawl on walls like the xenomorphs in the Aliens franchise? That would be cool.

hello, i am hear to recommend some things that i feel like should be added/changed:

1.weapons-

the flame thrower

the flame thrower will have the animation of team fortrest2 fire (or something like it)

zombies will take 2 secs of burn time

wooden props will not burn by the weapon (this will incourage griefing)

i feel like this weapon should coast about 500-600 points.

 

dr. sun god

this weapon is a super powerful laser that melts the zombies flesh

it has a one time use that kills any zombies (but boss zombies)

every type of zombies get hurt (including shade, its a beam of light)

this will coast 1000 + points

 

2. game play

leveling system

this will remove the worst part of zombie survival, shit cading! (you will unlock the hammer at level 5)

this could also remove vote kick spamming (you could unlock vote kick at level 10-20)

you could remove levels for a warning rather than having to kick then have a "bad rep" for kick abuse

i bet your asking how does one level up? you level up by completing maps (you get 2 levels for beating winning the map, 1 for losing)

 

zombie kill counter

i think that we should have a zombie kill counter just to add a bit more competitive

1 a. The only thing that fit and work is this Flamethrower.

If they are going to add this "OP" weapon the points of buying it should be in the 1k ....getting 500-600 points are easly to make. Also another idea is that its does not required ammo it come with it when buying for the first time the limit is 200(use it up its useless...buy another then)

 

1 b. "Dr. sun god" ummmm..... no still OP

 

2 a. A leveling system is a bad idea...I been on one of those server with it and my thoughts is...its suck, the higher lvl player keep stealing the exp/kills on zombies and its has no freedom to use any weapon and then...what is the points of having the player save Zs_points if you cant get any weapons you want if you stay at lvl 1...

 

2 b. "A Zombies kill counter"...If i'm right its already in the game when a map end you can see the player achievement

I'm sure this has been said before, but I would really like to see the new maps or unplayed good maps being voted on, or the whole map vote system be redone so that the same maps don't get chosen over and over and over and over and u get the picture. People tend to choose the maps at the top of the map list because thats the first thing they see, never the bottom of the list maps. A sort of randomiser in the map list would be good.

[Gamma.CM]

both krusty krab maps need to be removed. The newest one is exploited every time and neither of them fits the ZS theme.

Record a demo of the exploiting and I'll see if it should or shouldn't be removed.

I've already made a thread about it.

Why are all of the zombies classes locked on reactor until the last five minutes? That is flat-out retarded.

[MyMindIsBlank]

thats the map not ours.

[Gamma.CM]

I don't think uninformed would really work, because you could still just hold alt to see everything; and I think your worth values are a bit high.

 

I'm suggesting that my maps be added; links are in their respective threads. They've been done for a while and they're still not on the server.

[Webflashing]

Why not re add zs_deception_v2 again to the votemap list, an admin could just teleport to the top and toss the so called "goldbar" that causes all the lag.

[Magic]

Ok after the GMOD meeting we have a list of maps that have been talked about removing them from the server. Here is the list:

 

zs_countryside

zs_obj_pheonix

zs_crest_of_waves

zs_guantlet

zs_nachet_der_untoten

zs_marsh_fixed

zs_canyon

zs_alexg_motel

zs_farmhouse

zs_city_14

zs_gravity

zs_raunchyhouse

zs_rs_vacant

zs_ruraldepartment

zs_stormier

zs_citadel

zs_transit

zs_urbanroofs_fixed

zs_urbandecay

zs_deadmount_reborn

zs_infected_square

 

Please post your thoughts on these maps and I will keep track of votes to remove and stuff like that.

[redusty]

zs_canyon

why

zs_obj_pheonix

no

zs_farmhouse

double no

 

keep farmhouse, it doesn't crash at all. there is literally nothing wrong with it. the real problem is that no one tries to play the map and they end up producing shitcades or no cade at all. i played it successfully to past wave 4, if there had been more people not giving up instantly we could have most definitely won the game. you just gotta try the map and not just give up the moment it's switched to it.
