I think I'd rather get more points than have teammates.

maybe implement a system as gamma did on Firefight portent, where you can "Buy" teammates

Yea most definitly I'm sure theres a way around the problem maybe not. But oh well least you could try it next time might not work but eh what the hell give it a shot. Or make another map like the same way you did dead halls. May not be as fun but lol i'd rather have teamates.

Okay, it's been a while since I posted anything here. First of all, the more I look over all of my map, what still needs done, what needs fixed, I've decided that I probably will not be finishing toten_nacht. Now before you jump all over me, I'm not cancelling it. At this point toten_nacht is just going to the template that I will use for what hopefully be an entire series of CoD style zombies maps, as well as some other zombie related projects. So in actuality, the only thing being cancelled is this BSP.(And the awful map name)

Now as far as your suggestions, I am going to try and stay true to standard formula for the CoD style maps, which means no AI team mates. However this is definitely not the only zombies related project I am working on. There will definitely be at least one map where you will have backup.

Glad to hear it. In the maps where you dont have friendlies are there still going to be Auto Turrets? like in CoD.

Probably. I have a few ideas for different auto turrets, but traps are something I have not gotten around to working on yet.

The under barrel shotgun could use the same animations as the grenade launcher, just replace the grenade with a shotgun shell and change the sound and projectile

The problem will still be in the reload, because you still have to load it one shell at a time. Besides, I'm still trying to find a way to implement it without being forced to disable iron sights.

Would you mind releasing your zombie Marines from Dead Halls, please? :s

I'd like to try and make a Left 4 Dead-style singleplayer, but the Flood just don't seem right. I think I remember you saying the tags would be available when you finished the map, but I can't find any mention of that in the rest of the thread, so I could be mistaken.

I will, in fact I do plan to release just about everything, but let me work on them a little while longer. I don't like releasing unfinished stuff, and there a few things I can still improve upon. I'm adding more features onto them, like the ability to blow off the head.(I just need to make the effect) And I'm also working on new variations of them so I'll have: Armored, unarmored, crewman, and maybe elite. I would like to do civilian zombies, but my biped models skills are extremely lacking so my only option would be to jut keep retexturing the unarmored marine and I don't want to do it that way.


But Echo, if your making a single-player map, pm me your xfire. We should talk

its funny how all of these ideas are coming out after i've already gotten about halfway done with my zombie SP level, using very similar ideas lol

FYI, i started before you rerout, just didnt get as far :P

Well, Call of Duty Zombies started it....

Actually... arcade games did. ex: Galaga.

Well, I've actually had my zombies campaign in the works even before I started on toten_nacht. I believe I started around January of last year, although because I have so much to do, and that I'm the only one working on it, the only things I ever got done are the player biped and most of the plot. But that's it.

eh, so you started about two months after me lol. November or December of two years ago i got these mutilated and gutted marine bipeds/textures made by my friend. Instant Zombie idea. Setup completely custom animations, including "ressurection" animations. Working on some of them still but oh well

In Black ops wasn't the under barrel shotgun a single shot anyway?

No it was a master key which I believe holds either 4 or 6 shells.(I can't remember right now)
Although I don't necessarily need to have this work because the only gun in the zombies mode to get one was the pack-a-punched AUG. However I'm still trying to find a method to implement the ub weapons while keeping the iron sights.

will there be special rounds like dogs from cod or some kind of boss zombie or even a bonus round like in firefight

Well it depends on the map. Most map's I'll probably have my other zombie type that made to basically replace the dogs, but on some I'll have something else. For instance one of my maps I'm going to try and set up something to act like Romero did in Call of the Dead.

call of the dead is a good map. can you make some tripe of map like it

just as a random question, cant you map the underslung weapons to different keys? i mean, if you say, attached it to the zoom key, you can probably make the underslung work with that key or something. Plus, if you use OS, it makes it that much easier

I could but then there would be the issue of not having a proper magazine set up, and it would cause issues with animations as well. I'm still working on a few ideas but I don't want to use OS unless I have to.

so how progress then still trying to make it work?

Nah, I'm just going to come back to this later. I have a lot more important things to get working before I need to worry about the weapons.

i was just wondering will there be a power switch or will everything just be active from start

This should answer your question:



I want to try and add as many of the main features from the CoD zombies maps as I can, which includes power.

holy crap wow that looks almost like the one from cod without the hand hmm looks like we are gonna have a cod experience in halo

So whats the progress so far?

Nothing new yet. I'm actually working on two other projects right now. However both of these a relatively small projects that "should" not take too long, the I will be ready to go back to this.

Keep us posted...can't wait to play this.

Never want to hear that again.

Its a Zombies experience, not a crappy CoD experience.

EDIT: nvm

Okay please don't start a CoD debate here. I get enough of that everywhere else. And for the record, I love the Zombies mode in CoD, but I have a general dislike of the multiplayer. I don't hate it, but I don't really like it either.

Your right, sry about that.

fine
