Author Topic: A more original zombie mod.  (Read 13794 times)

What I am asking for is simple, a zombie mod that has nothing to do with any other zombie game out there. Basically a zombie mod that was once like the old V8 zombie mod. Try to make this mod original and creative.


Things you should probably include:
  • Only one type of zombie. moderately slow speed, weak damage but extremely powerful in groups.
  • Brick killing option. (Zombies have the option to permanently destroy a brick.)
  • If brick killing option is enabled after the end of each round the previously loaded build should re-load automatically.
  • Wave option. Survive wave after wave of zombies with a wave spawner brick. A wave spawner brick will unleash a large amount of zombies for a certain amount of time after each wave.
  • Limited time option. The game resets when the time runs out.
  • When a player dies by a zombie they become a zombie and their only weapon is their bare hands. It would be a nice feature if hands were visible so it's easier to attack others. (If a player decides to CTRL+K they shall not become a zombie and they can't respawn either.)
  • Zombie-proof bricks. Bricks that a zombie can not break.
  • Zombie spawn bricks. Instead of one single vehicle spawn brick like Left 4 Block this kind of spawn brick will send out more than two zombies per brick.
  • Armored zombie-resistant vehicles. Heavily armored regular town cars that are resistant to zombie attacks. A machine gun turret on the top would be a nice feature. The armored cars must drive slow in order to ensure balance between zombies and survivors.
  • Barricades - a JVS device, click the brick to begin building the breakable barricade. (This probably would work best with brick damage off so zombies don't break bricks surrounding the barricade.)
  • Ripping zombie limbs off such as arms, legs, feet, head, etc. Also if you so happen to blow off zombie legs the zombie should forcibly crawl around with their hands.
  • Infection option - If you are bitten or attacked by zombies for long periods of time you will become infected. You will turn into a zombie depending on how long infection time is set.
When you get infected you should stay on the team for a period of time (RTB Pref) and then at some point you will suddenly turn into a zombie. Giving you the choice to let your team kill you, CTRL K or just wait till it happens, fighting till it does.
  • Compatible with other gamemodes such as Space Guy's TDM but not with other zombie mods.
  • Compatible with Bushido's sentry mod. Allow the sentries to kill zombies but not other survivors.
  • Melee option - a mouse right click function that does weak damage but pushes zombies about 3-5 studs.
  • A throwable cat weapon - The cat will try to run away and the zombies will attempt to chase it.
  • Zombies should randomly look like other player's avatars. Also custom decals, faces and sounds may be a good idea.

I think if you spawn a barricade, you can give it a brick name, and connect a spawn to a zombie spawn, so a zombie automatically goes to that named barricade. You should also get about 3 empty text boxes that, in order, the zombie travels to on their way to a barricade. Example picture:



I'll add more to the list when time goes on. Feel free to include your own ideas so we can build on this.

ZAPT's not original enough?

EDIT: Durr, I was only taking into account the titles. Cool idea, though I like Rotondo's mod and probably wouldn't switch to a new one unless there was a lot more fun features.

I've wanted this for so long, it's not even funny.
I hate both mods as of now.

and zombie proof bricks would be extremely helpful. infact there should be almost the same thing with vehicle rampage, so nobody destroys all of the damned baseplates

Barricades for the wave option.

Barricades for the wave option.

I tweaked your idea to mention it as a JVS device.

1990s LEGO BASED ZOMBIE MOD JUST LIKE YOU WOULD WANT!!111

I think that the fine option of shooting off body parts would be nice.
also, the realism of if you shoot off a zombie's feet, he must crawl to get to you.

And i would like to have a bite weapon for the zombies, that does 75% of the damage of the hands, but slowly kills the player, or slowly turns the player to a player zombie, so that the player doesn't have to respawn.

Melee with anything. But not like Left 4 Block where it sends zombies flying. Less force but a little bit more damage. And you can't push other survivors.

Compatible with other gamemodes.

Setting for players to spawn again or spawn as zombie.

Maybe the zombies could spawn with random health? Like some will spawn with more or full health while others would have less? It would have to be random.

slowly turns the player to a player, so that the player doesn't have to respawn.
what?

If there is going to be infection where you could be infected by zombies, then you should have an option to turn it off, and an item that could cure you.

what?
Gets bitten - Slowly turns to a zombie - He is now a zombie - He is on the same loving place he was then he wasnt a zombie.

FUUUUUU-

Just realised what you meant.

Should the barricades be one big thing or just like a window so that you could put it anywhere?

I was thinking like a separate brick of just wooden boards. Window works too.

What about my other suggestions?

Melee never proved to be useful in rotondo's zombie mod. The best use for it was pushing survivors off a roof so they can die.
