Hello yes my name is Sord213 and I have a ~special~ zombie survival server. Why is it special, you may ask? Well, one of the delightfully overwhelmingly amazing (read: annoying) features is the randomized looting system. What does this mean? For starters, it means that you can't instantly go to that one spot that has all the best guns and be the most well equipped player in the server! You can still go to the better looting areas, but there's no guarantee that you'll get something good.
Short and sweet list of features
Randomized loot
Lots of zombies
PVP and all of the whining it includes
Tough zombies
Large map specifically made for zombies
Family sized fun
Free donuts with purchase of donuts
Lots of death
Frying pans
The loot system.
THIS PART IS BEING REDONE
Loot is placed into an assorted array of boxes, simply called loot boxes. Loot boxes can be found anywhere around the map and contain a variety of different things depending on the box.
Pictures (because I have nothing else to really type and I don't want to type more)
Issues with the server
This server is very far from perfect. On a regular basis the loot boxes mess up, zombies sometimes go all goofy like, lag is common(framerate and network latency), and ghosting takes aggesss. Don't come and expect a perfect server that plays without issues. It also uses defualt bots/zombies, for all that includes. For time time being I'm calling it beta, but you should think of it more as a "proof of concept". IT HAS ISSUES
Hosting
I only host this when I'm capable of being there. The main reason being zombies don't take damage while I'm not there. I have an RTB server for hosting this, but that's just so you don't have to deal with lag from my computer/internet connection. This server is not 24/7 until I can find a way to ensure zombies always take damage while I'm there.

12/10/13 V1
- New map! A large island map with tons of space and loot boxes everywhere!
- Reshuffled loot boxes items that they spawn, spawn rates, added a couple new ones, and removed some
- Removed loot boxes are: Gunbox medium (4x4), item box(main 2x2)
- New boxes are: Household box(basically itembox), miscbox(meleebox), mechanic box (holds your common mechanics gear, also includes pipe wrenchs and gas canisters for when vehicles get added in
- Shuffed boxes: Medical boxes(only contains med supplies now), gunbox (2x8(It's now more of a sniper/long gun box)), gunbox special (2x8(contains chainsaw, rpg, GL, some other specials)), ammoboxes got tuned a bit
- A lot more
12/13/13(some 12/1213) No version change
- Added the fuel box (Orange 2x2) that only spawns fuel at a decent chance
- Added VIP Garage off the ZRT headquarters with a VIP jeep, and some fuel boxes that have a high chance to spawn fuel
- Skill4Life added a gas station which has a bunch of fuel boxes
- Sylvanor is building some stuff on the map
- Started Dannar's Post, which will be a small spread out village with houses, maybe some bigger buildings, who knows
- Skill4Life is adding another island which will house an airstrip which will be where you can get a helicopter.
In regards to the helicopter, it wont be a plain spawn, you will have to find "parts" (VCE based) around the map and fix up the helicopter before you can use it, then, of course, you'll have to fuel it. There will probably also be another settlement over there who knows
12/14/13 v1.01
- LMG got a buff
- Nerfed slug shotgun slightly
- Continuing work on buildings for Dannar's Point
- (technically this was yesterday) added aerial map
12/19/13 v1.02
- Big change involving boxes and, hopefully, server strain
- I completely removed(disabled) box timers. The way the timers worked was when you activated a box it started a variable based timer that would use 30 second increments. What this meant is every 30 seconds every box that had been activated was firing relays to increase the timer variable until it hit a certain point and it stopped then respawned. Seeing as theres ~1100 boxes (give or take) on the server I can only imagine that this put a lot of stress on the server. It also didn't work 100% of the time and sometimes the boxes never respawn, which is why I made a brickbased(no variables) timer that reset the boxes every 15 minutes, which only worked decently due to the fact that I was hitting the schedule limit because of all the boxes continually activating their events/timers.
- So basically what I did is disable the boxes' timers and set the auto respawner to 5 minutes. Every box will respawn every 5 minutes, based on server time, not individual box timers. This should hopefully help a decent bit.
- Fixed items with jet-based functionality(syringe, sniper carbines) not working. It was an issue with Gravity Cat's syringe items(not the healing syringe)
- Messed with zombie counts and such
12/27/13 v1.04
- Enabled heat mod. Lose body temp over time, you can find a fire/tent to heat up at.
- Continued work on second smaller island
- Added extra teams to join. Anyone can join the public teams, but you can only join the closed teams (ZRT and Builders) by some other force (me moving you or pressing one of the buttons). The reason for these teams is for player groups that want their own private team chat to help find their teammates and strategize with their teammates without anyone else hearing them. Use the buttons in the spawn to join another team. The other teams do not get ANY special weapons or benefits other than private team chats and team names.
1/3/14 v1.05
- We were doing some map work when the DDoS hit so I wasn't able to recover some of it. I will be rebuilding this whenever I get some time. One major thing was I added expanded Nota City.
- Guardian/Alexbob worked on a couple other islands near the mainland. I'll be updating the map soon.
1/11/14 v1.06
- Added the blood/corpse mods.
- To loot you press jet (default m2) to loot, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make corpses drop ammo like they did before but until then no ammo from bodies
- A few map additions/changes here and there. Some more work on the resort and such
