Good work and booo to vodka price incerease still can't wait for the next test Duby

[mogadonskoda]

Not bad I guess.

[Duby]

My thoughts exactly

Just a little something for all of you to sink your teeth into. The first Arena mode map has been completed inspired by Fridge of Doom. I hope you guys are as hyped for this as I am!

Yo what's up guys. Got the next ZS test candidate we are on ZS 3.0.1 Beta V8 ready for this Sunday. Here is a list of fixes and features included.

-Full Arena support 

-New Shotgun 'The Prototype

-Dice command fix

-End game screen completion with bug fixes (Still yet to implement the map vote as I want to keep the code clean for now while we test.)

-Hat shop (Just hats for now, but the potential for Perks and Suits is there, I can provide dummy fixes for those who want to add their own hat creations.)

-Fix for class spawn menu popping up during Arena spawn

-First Arena map created and ready to be tested

-Gas Grenade (Model by Braindawg, its pretty fucking awesome.)

Future implementations possible for the next test candidate:

 

-Zombine port

-Admin mod with proper game mode support

-Prox mines port

-Hate Boss Major bug being resolved

-Ravebreak

-Map vote

-Proper Class spawn menu (The current one is just a stand in for now.)

-Custom weapon models (For more interesting varieties)

 

 

That's the main bulk, but I expect a lot more will come over the next few days so keep and eye on the git hub change logs.

Where can I try this.

[Duby]

Uuuuh don't know the IP of the server, just join with someone on your friends list,  generally every other Sunday.

 

ZS 3.0 has a big bug regarding crouch jumping, but due to the way the gameplay is played, you don't ever see it. But at Mr.Green obviously we are a special snow flake so its really obvious and bad. To the point where people get stuck in walls and ceilings. So I will be investigating it and trying to resolve that issue for the next Beta test...

[test1]

If everything goes smoothly here, I think we might be looking at the next big thing (for ZS). Don't let us down Duby, I don't want to lose the respect, hype and hope for ZS (also your zs 3.0).

[rui_troia]

Keep it up man.

I have high hopes on this, we got to test, suggest and contribute as much as possible in order for it to be a fun and balanced gamemode.

A man told me that nowadays the gmod playerbase is more focused on servers and gamemodes that are biased by famous youtubers (DarkRP, TTT). Back then before this celebrity 24/7 spewshit, ZS and IW were on its peak thanks to to half life veterans interess and source code players.

 

But I dont belive that shit, Mr.Green ZS comeback is possible and it can attract lots of players.

[Duby]

Content for the next Beta test:

-Fixed Arena map

-Ported vote mute/gag/kick

-Ported Melon gun

-Ported Rave rifle

-Ported Remover tool

-Ported custom chat messages

-Spawn menu update (Very much W.I.P)

-Resolved some issues regarding players getting stuck

-Fixed Medkit starting power

-Added Medkit Charge bar

-Z time (slow mo affect which occurs 1 in every 12 times a zombie dies)

 

Other small changes:

-Moved main menu button from F1 to F3 'for humans' (temp due to vote mute system)

 

News:

Mr.Green will be launching with new and exclusive maps. Our map pack with contain maps than no other server has. This will boost the servers initial appeal on launch and give us a big head start.

I have Paid Stelk to make us one hell of a map called (Mr.Green's Asylum), I did some testing with him yesterday and this map is going to change how players play zs for sure, and increases the fun factor for zombies.

Our map pack will contain.

-Mr.Green's Asylum

-Mr.Green's Prison

-LightHouse (Updated by Stelk for ZS 3.0)

-ZA Fridge of Doom (re-made from scratch)

-ZA Caesium  

 

If you want to do some mapping, I advice doing something for Zombie Arena Mode, this sub game mode will be Mr.Green's trump card for giving players different kinds of maps to play. 

[rui_troia]

Sweet, can you give a tutorial of the requirements of a Mr.Green ZS arena map?

[Duby]

Yes, I will be providing a Prototype map for Arena mode once we've released most likely and I'll provide full documentation for it all.

 

 

Oh Look silly me! I've inserted an image of the new loadout menu!

There is a spelling error because I've been coding for 3 1/2 hours straight xD

Sweet, I might go make maps exclusively for Mr.Green ZS! I dont mind learning the howtos and such.

 

Looks pretty cool, I suggest that you add the weapon pictures next to the names, you know, the ones used in the killfeed.

And also correction: Loadout not lodout.

[Pufulet]

I'm curious how you exclude maps from other servers.

[Duby]

If I say that then people would be able to get our maps. I expect eventually they will get them, but for a few weeks/months we would be the only server with them.

Also ZA is built into our game mode. So just playing the map would be pointless and boring/shite.

Ummm I will refine the menu some more and it should look very good I reckon. 

 

We are about 85% done with the game mode I'd say, it will just be a load of polishing. 

[Pufulet]

From what I understand, you either make the player download the map or get it via workshop and they have access to both of these.

[Duby]

There are lots of other methods for map protection to make it harder for people to get hold of the map. Not saying obviously because I want Mr.Green to have these maps for as long as possible. 

[rui_troia]

More suggestions I recommend

1. MR.GREEN STATS AND RANKING SYSTEM - Every player has its profile, from there you can see how many ZS/ZA rounds he won/lost, how many GC that person has, if he is linked to the forums, kills, assists, total playtime and the class progression on Humans and Zombies.You can also earn badges from getting honorable mentions. MAKE SURE THE DATABASE WONT BE LOST, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO OLD VERSIONS OF IT

2. LINK ACCOUNT TO FORUMS - Being linked to the forums would give you an achievement aswell as 100 GC for doing it. Do not make it so it can be exploited.

3. ACHIEVEMENT REWARDING - Achievements gives 20 GC and a small portion of XP to all Human and Zombie classes.

4. FIRST ZOMBIE CHOOSING SYSTEM - Once the map loads it will be given 30 seconds for wait to players to join and 2 minutes for the start of the round. An entity by the middle of the map (static zombie?) would spawn and the players closer to it would be chosen for first zombies, the closer they are to it the bigger will be the first-zombie bonus.

5. RNGJESUS ZOMBIE MELEE - There's a small chance (1 out of 10) (10% chance) that any kind of zombies can doubleswipe while performing an attack, plus greatly increasing the slow down of the victim(s). First zombies who were close enough to the entity by the start are granted the chance of having a chance of 7 out of 10 to doubleswipe (70% chance).

6. ANTI-FARM SYSTEM - stats only count when 7 players are on.

7. NEW PLAYER BONUS - New players have a bonus for joining, they will be granted bonuses for 20 matches, such as CHEAPER PRICES, LESS RESPAWN TIME AS ZOMBIE, TRIPLESWIPE CHANCE INSTEAD OF DOUBLESWIPE, DOUBLE GAIN OF COINS AND DOUBLE XP GAIN.

That's all I could think about for now.

[Duby]

I'm looking at porting an updating Achievements and placing it in a module.

We need to add a ranking system of some kind. But rather than rush it, I want to take my time and design something cool and unique. So this will most likely come about after we have released the gamemode.

Linking accounts to the forums will have to be done Ywa's end.

[rui_troia]

Well pointed, we still got alot of time untill summer so let's craft things nicely and not rush it.

I have also been playing in some other ZS servers with almost no little modification from NoX's V3, but they made it a hell a lot more optimized, I suggest we do the following:

• Add a quickbuy key to buy ammo when near arsenal.
• When zombies spawn they have 5 second massive speed boost and armor, 10 seconds if they are first zombies.
• Optimize zombies as much as possible, make sure they hit in range, this goes for all classes, from zombies to wraith to poison zombies.
• Add official achievement-unlockable titles to display in light-blue/grey, modified titles in darker green(if human) and orange(if zombie), moderator/administrator/owner titles in red.
• When 20 zombies are killed by Humans without having eaten a brain, all zombies get mini-armor in their next 2 spawns when they spawn untill they die. When 80 zombies are killed by Humans without having eaten a brain, all zombies get 2x health when they spawn, for their life.
• EDIT: MAKE Mr.green ZS advertised in the MTA servers, for real, this will be sure to get more players in.

 

Some suggestions listed here are also for balancing issues, but the quickbuy key is a must aswell as some optimization. I was thinking about remaking the arsenal shop menu and make it way more simple.

Edited April 23, 2016 by rui_troia
forgot to add one more suggestion

[Duby]

Yea I want to add a Quick Ammo buy button to the Shop, then a sell button. (I took the Nox code out as it was messy, I'll clean it up and place it back in with a new Greenie look.) 

I'm porting Zombine atm, and then maybe taking a look at getting the starting zombies a little more balanced, especially with the humans load outs.. (If we have more than 20 players the zombies will have a lot of fun....) 

I've sorted out the zombies hit detection and made it a lot better than it was. I did in-depth testing last weekend with some of the guys and its proven to be a lot better. Before it was a nightmare to hit anything....

I'll talk to Ywa about advertisement. 

[Duby]

Hey guys,

Got a little teaser for you all, I hope you like what you see. I think we are going to meet our deadline of a June release.

Now, if we could get a huge amount of hype right now.. It'd be perfect.
