[Mappin'] For ZS

[Deluvas]

Requested by Donlan. You see, dear mapper, the gamemode ( ZS ) automatically searches for the entities it needs and replaced them with Weapons, Health Packs, Spawn points, etc.

What you need to know to finish your map for this gamemode:

- Spawn points for humans: info_player_human

- Spawn points for zombies: info_player_zombie

- Spawn points for random weapons: zs_weapondrop

zs_weapondrop is being replaced by Health Packs/Vials, too.

You can now disable toxic fumes by adding the entity - "zs_disable_toxic_damage" into your map.

You can now add "info_player_redeem" to tell the player where to redeem. Add a minimum of 3 to make it work well.

Crate spawns are handled by me.

Hundy> I know a good one, but in french :/ (it helped me a lot to map)

By the way for zs_weapondrop, do we have to use a player spawnpoint and change its name like for zombie/human spawn?

I'll try to finish my current map soon but I can't do that this week :/

What I used was a info_target. Easy Enough Just renamed it zs_weapondrop

My regards to Deluvas, Zeno and gentlemen for supplying this thread.

[Botervloot]

Sounds easy.

What hasn't been done before in ZS? (theme/setting). I'll try and make that, putting the deadline on Christmas (I quitted the FP Snow mapping contest, so this should do nicely.)

[Hundred2]

uh.. A map special for this new gamemode + with a cemetary / city + neon light stuffs theme.

Already been done.

I like ZS maps with small buildings everywhere and every building only have a small barricade but this wont be fun anymore becuse of the infinite ammo.

It better be Mr.Chickennugget and get some screenshots also it does sound good. When is it available?

Dracos guide to epic ZS maps

I like a good map that dosent have an amazing camping place (Attic,basement and some random small room)they are good if you get something to help flank the camping place or a roof that breaks is always fun.

It should have a cool secret room to hide in.

It should have weapons that arent to powerfull being dropped (randomly) Like the duals in cargo always a bitch

when your a zomb

It should include a funny trap like the car trap in storm. (that CarPileUp loves ) or the KILLER elevator or

maybe the funny HL2 Trap with the combine sheild which is always funny when new players get tricked XD and i

just CANT forget the roof that kills you when the lightning happens is always funny to trick them.

It Should also include a good zombie spawn that you dont get spawncamped at.

And last but not least alot of good props to own people

[Hundred2]

No secret rooms please .

They make a map bad.

If new people dont know the secret room, a regular can stay there for over 9000 minutes.

agree secret rooms are stupid, when someone finds it they will tell everyone and everyone will camp there.

I will try to finish that for christmas, not sure though, I wanted to include it in the new map pack

But since my map has bee leaked I hope nobody will steal it and take his name on it...

I should fix my L4D based map. It was win (especially with that rescue heli). Or I'll just fix a normal L4D campaign map.

Any suggestions what map from L4D I should port? I like the No Mercy final map myself the most, but it doesn't fit ZS I think.

L4D2 can't be ported yet. Harvest finale is nice too yeah. I'll look at it. I strip a lot from such maps, like models. So I need to include less models and such.

[Zeno]

Well my map is done. zs_chingford ( should I get another name )

And Im already making a new map :> XD I get a sraze for them, But Give me some ideas And Ill put them in

[Ywa]

All new maps need a rescue helicopter. kthxbai

[Botervloot]

I needed a lay-out, and I've chosen Bloc from CoD4. This will also be good for the snow contest on FP

Does anyone know how to rip models from a non-source game, and convert them to source? *the statue in the middle is all I need*.

Do you know how hard it is to make that shit? Without making everyone crash or die when they step on it?
