When Ywa stops watching porn

Hello all,
Yes its time that I make a new topic and post about something interesting.. I got nothing interesting to say...
Terrible English humour aside I would like to tell you all about the new mod, the current status of the mod and its current and its future developments.
8 months ago Damien said to me I should revive Mr.Green using the latest ZS mod, he sent me a link to the ZS GitHub and from that point onwards I've been on one hell of a journey. I've spent the last 8 months fully dedicated to reviving our ZS community and bringing back what we all love and hold dear. Has it all been worth it? Yea I'd say so, its been a blast and a half haha!
So lets get straight into the nitty gritty of the gamemode!

as always.
I would like to firstly like to thank all of the Beta testers who put their own time aside to help me with the project and to believe in the projects success! All Beta testers have been given a nice special title
Old Fags, welcome back its been some time for a few of you but neither the less, you're more than welcome to rejoin the ranks amongst the chaos that is Mr.Green Zombie Survival!
So lets list out a Q and A to save me creating massive blocks of boring text.
Q&A
What is the mods goal?
-To bring a new lease of life into the Mr.Green zs community and to also show that Zombie Survival can be more than just cading.
Do you have Human classes?
-Yes
Do we have a levelling system?
-No (Not yet basically)
Do we still have our green coins?
-Not unless Ywa wants to sort it out for you all. (Does he still love us I wonder
)
When will the gamemode be live?
-The gamemode is in a state of feature completion, but it's technically in open beta. It will be released under the marketing decision that the community can help drive what is most important for the game modes development. (I don't want to spend my time developing shit people don't like or want) aka this week or next week.
Who is going to be developing this gamemode?
-Anyone who feels like it, I am the content manager for Git and anyone is free to develop something for the gamemode. As long as they bare in mind the rules stated on our Git
Can we have a link to the Git?
-Give me a pm and I'll give you a link ;)))))))
So what is so special about this mod?
-Its Mr.Green we're talking about here, there isn't any words I can use to construct a sentence with the describe it
I'm an old fag do I get anything for all my levelling and hard work?
-Yes! If you have proof find the old fag topic and make you case ^^
List of everything.....

Yea I feel like we have lots to still implement, but we are ready for this weekend after a few more minor updates.
The way I want you all to look at this is that we have a gamemode, which can be developed by the community, as an open Beta. We can all play it and see what gameplay aspects we can develop into something cool and new
We will get the Mr.Green feeling again, but I feel copying the past will only get us so far. We need to create a new Mr.Green feel to the gamemode using new and old gameplay aspects!
The one thing I will say is, we won't be doing anything brash or massive gameplay wise as we need to get ourselves a stable player base first. So please be patient regarding that.
I will be creating a new topic with all the low down later this week, after all the testing I'm sure we are going to stand a good chance in becoming a popular community again. I would like to thank all of our Beta testers for helping me test and find bugs. Its been great fun and obviously all the old fags will get their dues as well.
All information regarding the main future developments will be posted later this week, but for now here is the latest change log from Git.

@Braindawg --Snip, didn't see your SteamID
I hope you all enjoy the server, any feedback obviously post it on the correct topic, for any of those who are old and fagish in Mr.Green ZS please do provide your evidence etc.. and I'll happily add you with the rest of this lot!
-
No I didn't, the 3.0 base is really good to work with. But when you start modding things obviously you create bugs unknowingly, I try to avoid touching things I don't need to.
I think it'll all work out in the end, but it will just take sometime to iron out the gamemode. I should have a rather large update on Sunday, so I'll post the log and do another Beta Test
-
Positive outlook, one bug down 100 more to go xD
-
Its a trace line, and by default the lag compensation is removed. I think I've found the issue.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
This is the line which is used for when zombies hit a human (ent)
phys:ApplyForceOffset(damage * 150 * (forcescale or self.MeleeForceScale) * self.Owner:GetAimVector(), (ent:NearestPoint(self.Owner:EyePos()) + ent:GetPos() * 5) / 6)
I changed it to 150 stop humans moving so far away when getting hit, but at the same time I thinks this is what's causing the issue. it should be damage * 750 *
I'll change it back and we'll see if that sorts out the issue, when I had a quick play with it last night, it seem'd to make a big difference.
I'm out tonight so we'll try and get a test done on the weekend after I've fixed some things Ywa found.

I take your opinions on board, I appreciate honesty and at the end of it, it will help the mod become something more.
Yea I need to give the human classes some more thought perhaps and think of a way to make them feel more unique and special.
I need to refine the zombies more and give them direct purposes so we have a list of refined classes.
I feel the class menu doesn't really require a load of text as people are goi g to click on it and just base it on the load out. I went for the simplest look really. But then again it can be improved for sure.
It will still feel a little noxish as we haven't got that whole generations of coders code in the gamemode so it will just feel like the mod first did I guess.
I'll try and make it feel more like Mr.Green. I want the mod to be not feature complete so people see and feel like their still involved in its developments, and they have a big day in how the gamemode develops.
But in total yea I have a lot of work to do. I may do some all nighters to get the mod ready for June.
7years of code in 8 months odd, it's all been rather interesting xD
-

Yea I will be very strict on it. I've not touched any weapon stats apart from new weapons which we've added to the mod. So they've been based on the balance of the other weapons. Same applies to the zombies
I'm sure it will be fine, the only issue I found is that the Engineer was way to strong, so I needed to sort out its issues.
If you'd like to Pufulet, you're more than welcome to port the Prox mines to ZS 3.0. It would be a nice addition to the engineer class and really give it a nice range of tools. Obviously I'll just do it myself if you'd rather not.
-
I'll look at balancing it all for sure, that video shows the deagles before I've even done stats, I just took the normal deagle file and replaced the model.
I need to finish off one of the zombie classes for sure. I've finished fixing the balanceing issues we've found. I expect there will be more but that can be delt with as we find them.
I just need to polish the end game screen and we are good for release
-
-
The reason why I ask for your Steam ID is that I'm not going to spend time going on your profile getting it xD
I've also decided that you'll get some badges, and also extra voting power in the map vote screen.
You're trusted members so you know the best maps etc.. I see no reason why you shouldn't have some nice things
-
You were a great player when you played, and obviously you left for understandable reasons.
I'm very pleased to see you're back and want to be apart of the community again
Damien ha does the admin apps and I expect he'll review it when we release and start looking for admins for the server :3

Hello all,
As you know the new ZS server is being released soon. But I want to make sure all of our old fags are treated with respect. So for the release and from now on, if you can prove your position within the community with a Rank, amount of greencoins within the threshold given, you'll have some special items given to you for the new gamemode.
Any of the following.
Thresholds:
GC < 2500
Necrossin Perks ZS Rank < 20
Deluvas/Necrossin Classes Rank < 2
Previous or current admin
If any of those or all of those apply to you, place your evidence (some might be obvious) leave a comment bellow with your SteamID and you'll be added to the (special snow flake) table
You'll receive;
A player title
Bonus GC when the shop is implemented
Maybe a nice weapon skin
Cheers, Duby

A quick summery of what I need to do for us to be in a completed sate for Release.
-Fix Zombie !rtd command
-Ywa's approval on the end game screen
-New Boss selection menu images
-New Ghoul zombie class menu image
-Modify human crosshair
-Double check Boss base code
-General code tidy up
-Put map list together
-Make SP shop look more aesthetically pleasing
So I'd say its all rather minor things really. The core gameplay is all there and ready to be tested for a final Beta test
-
-snip- read it incorrectly
-
Sure, it sounds very promising. What I would say is that there is a hell of a lot of code changes going on with every Beta update. So I would advice waiting until we release just so we don't have any issues.
(Last Beta update was 192 file changes.)
We are releasing in June
It would be great this use this XP system to build a new level system, and the supply drop for some sort of sub game mode
It would be awesome to get more coders involved with the project and to collaborate on this project.

I've comprised a new levelling module into the game mode, so we are all set for integrating it into the game. But I need some time to think about what I'm going to do and how people should gain XP and how much etc..
Things that this levelling system will defiantly consist of;
-Global XP/levelling gain regardless of your class
-Lots of levels ( So players always feel like they are progressing )
-Every 5-10 levels a tool for a class will be upgraded or a new tool will replace it.
Zombies leveling system is going to be designed at a different stage due to the amount of thought required for balancing reasons.
This will be done after the release, some may say we should wait, but I feel we need to get this game mode off the ground and start refining its gameplay.
Additional Notes:
I need to port the GC module and re-make the GC shop, I feel that the old one can be re-coded into a module and be quite efficient if done correctly. But this again will be looked at after release. Any comments are always appreciated. I'm working as fast as I possibly can, and obviously I have a life and GF etc.. So at the moment its all rather interesting getting this done on time..

You used to love me :<

mmm come over here sugar and help Senpai out so we can make that console spam go away
Perhaps you could help senpai out with the zombine
<3
We will get the Mr.Green feeling again, but I feel copying the past will only get us so far. We need to create a new Mr.Green feel to the gamemode using new and old gameplay aspects!
