Pufulet

Listen to who? I was given a ruined ZS. The worst possible thing to happen to the md right now is me no longer developing it. It will die for a long time.

You've put it perfectly although I refuse to believe that zs is broken and will continue to work on it. Telling me how or why it's broken would be helpful though. This goes to everyone.

Post the peashooter picture for me please.

This is the only post that I value as proper feedback in the last couple of weeks. Maybe if you structure your feedback like this instead of telling me to condemn my weapon system and saying the game is purely unbalanced then I might listen. You're making me believe you have no idea about what I have done so far for this mod, bad or good.

Hud aesthetics are subjective. I disliked it therfore I changed it to a minimalistic style which is what I prefer. Loadout menu before I fixed it for non 1080p users: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/620722512172498945/042951D057CF85CF1F8EB5176A576770FFB5BF46/

The hud works because I have been fixing it. Nobody other than 1080p could properly play the mod. Regarding balance, I don't think you understand the gameplay changes properly (SP for weapon drops / random loot from kills / salvaging) and it's my own fault for not communicating them to the players, this is what I am to do for the next weekend updates. Most veterans will trash the mod that I have created and don't tell me how to improve it. My post above is an example of me now communicating to the players what my changes will be.

My priority todo list for this weekend coming up: F1 MenuMulti resolution friendly.Update tabs.Voting ScreenMore maps to choose from.Voting power based on SP gained."SP Gained" panel."XP Gained" panel.Remove "Assists" and "Healing" panels.ErrorsFailed to load sound "wraithdeath4.wav", file probably missing from disk/repositoryFailed to load sound "wraithdeath3.wav", file probably missing from disk/repositoryFailed to load sound "npc\stalker\stalker_alert13.wav", file probably missing from disk/repositoryFailed to load sound "npc\stalker\stalker_alert12.wav", file probably missing from disk/repositoryWeapon SelectionAdd black outline.Check amount of ammo given from ammo boxes is correct.EtherealReduce health to 100.Reduce speed to 180.Human HudOptimise.Salvage SystemSwitch back to throwing while looking at mobile supplies?WeaponsIncrease speed of zoom for FOV.If I finish it all and still feel like coding then I will work on other stuff as well.

We do not look back, only ahead.

That's all for this week! Bugs or suggestions just post them here as usual.

Please refer to Live Zombie Survival development tracking (changelog) topic for your further zs'ing.

Please use this topic for further anything to do with zs.

The random drops that players do get from SP is bad and it will be based on class. No they're not.

That's all from me for this weekend. I would expect updates from someone who actually knows to code in the not so distant future though. There are still a couple of changes I want to make in properly pushing us away from the SkillShop and not rely on any placed entity. These may be controversial changes but I want an even more unique zs without hopefuly destroying the playerbase which seems to be slowely blossoming again.

SkillShop is currently disabled. Undead have a chance of dropping weapons, as the round goes on better weapons will drop. Once the player reaches 100SP they will be rewarded with a weapon drop and it will reset again.

Updates from yesterday: SP is given by the amount of damage done to the undead.SP given from killing has been greatly reduced.Starter weapons have 3 spare clips.All other weapons have 1 spare clip.Ammo from SkillShop now costs 40SP and the amount given increased.Killing an undead has a 1/3 chance of dropping an ammo box.Mobile supplies model has been changed to the hl2 ammo box.Mobile supplies gives ammo every 90 seconds instead of 60 seconds.Normal zombie, poison zombie and fast zombie have had their health slightly lowered.Spawn with primary weapon perks have been disabled.Bunch of other small changes.Updates from today (maybe): Fix behemoth spawning whenever the hell it wants to.Humans dying to drop ammo boxes.Other changes that I see fit.

Bosses have to be small so they can crouch through vents and actually navigate like the rest. Big bosses are just annoying to play (keeping the collision size and making the model bigger is a no no). Already some useful stuff to take from this, good job.

Nothing on this page can provide any use in updating zs. There is no constructive feedback. You're all terrible players.

Server got updated and boomed to 20 players earlier today. Also double xp for the weekend!

I never quit and I could still easily work on the mod. I wanted to work on this since deluvas times and I'm not gonna let that go now. The fact that the server is running on an older version of gmod is incredibly bad and I will inform Ywa (oh he's on holiday). As far as I'm aware the quality of the mod is at its highest in the last year (server had +30 players on the weekend of prime changes by me), if not longer. No doubt that if I do look at the mod again soon I will notice problems and will say to myself "why did I do this" and this is because I didn't touch it in over a month so I'm less biased. I'm not aware of any bad balancing or broken gameplay, the closest thing is probably the slight slowdown that humans get when falling. Also I don't see any suggestions or improvements in this topic that I would consider valid so the whole "not listening to players" doesn't really work since there isn't anything to actually listen to.
