Here we go again.

Correction: Blockland is a block building game. You build with blocks, ZAPT lets you put zombies down. Easy as that.

--- Quote from: takato14 on March 11, 2011, 06:49:53 PM ---ZAPT is too restricted; you can't spawn zombies out of a minigame, you cant spawn them on a normal vehicle spawn, you have to have an actually structured build to use it properly, you cannot make custom AI's for it, you cant use Left4Block with it, thus breaking so very many addons...

This is just pure loving garbage it actually makes me not want you to use ZAPT because there is no way I can cater to such a low IQ.

* Not being able to spawn zombies out of the minigame is a good thing. I don't know what kind of drug you're on that makes you think having random douchebags spawn an undead army that kills people outside of an actual minigame is a good thing. And if you mean just having the zombies appear even if they're not needed, that eats up resources that could be spent elsewhere. The fact that zombies do not appear until absolutely needed saves resources and allows you to put many, many more times the amount of bots in a ZAPT campaign that with any other mod.

* The way the director works makes it 100x more efficient to put bots on their own kind of spawn. I also do not understand how this is a problem -- what exactly are you putting zombies on a vehicle spawn for, anyways? What is wrong with the nicely sized 3x3 spawn brick?

* YOU CAN make custom zombies for it. I don't know who started this "YOU CAN'T MAKE STUFF FOR ZAPT OLOLOL" but it's completely false. The way the mod is set up is to encourage third party content.

* You can't use L4B with it because Rotondo's Mod breaks mine, not the other way around. Gamemode_zombies is usually the source of conflict with other mods. If anyone else made a mod that poorly constructed, and that broken, that's been that broken since 2009, it'd be failbinned 10 times over. But, no. Rotondo is Ephialtes and Badspot's buddy, so it gets to stay around blowing up everything it touches.

* I have never heard of ZAPT interfering with another mod, and Space Guy (and many others) would inform me the second he caught wind of any such information.

Your ideas just suck.

Zloff:
Sometimes I just want to spawn a zombie and have it instantly attack me so I can have a quick fight, like with Rot's zombies, but I can't do that with ZAPT, the director disallows it. I also feel as if it is too complicated, and I could easily see ZAPT confusing people. Those are the only problems I have with ZAPT, but then again, I only used it twice...

takato14:
Okay, add a million restrictions and extra datablocks, I dont care. You dont have to be a richard.

Oh, wait. I forgot who I was talking to. Sorry.

And, if the mods conflict, find the source of it and change it, perhaps? I know not how difficult it might be, but I think its worth it to get more people using the mod, dont you?

Nexus:
Zapt is awesome, but I personally prefer killing zombies, not playing as them. There might already be a toggle for whether the zombies are people or AI, but I've only played ZAPT a few times in crowded servers. Still, I remember when you had to do a setControlObject in console to play as a zombie.

I actually like the one about having one spawn for all zombies, like a general zombie spawn. Less brick spammy than having separate spawns for each zombie, but again, you may already have that lol. This also lets the director control the zombie ratios better.

I like to pull random jargon out of my ass without providing any evidence for it, too.

What can I do to make this option bigger? Jesus.

Zombie Mob Spawn spawns the mobs when the director wants to add more stress. The other spawns are specific to one zombie type, but I will definitely consider a mob-type spawn that pumps out random zombie types.
