Legodude77:
How about spawn base plates that can spawn multiple (but not a horde size) at once?

Consumer Bile got tweaked a little; should be able to bile targets easier.
Added bonus: Projectile puke and explosions now put out fire on all targets. Friendly consumers can help tanks out.

Animating bots is a pain in the ass. I'll look into both issues.

--- End quote ---
Tanks are picked based on score, so I guess timing can cause this often. I'll prevent consecutive tanks and players from being tank twice.

I'll look into it, but I've never been able to reproduce this glitch.

I'm going to add something that will fix this and similar "wtf" bugs in the future.

--- Quote from: Shotgunner on February 13, 2012, 05:58:51 PM ---Smashers have the ability to "stun" survivors when they charge into them, this is represented by the survivor in the sit animation and unable to move for 2 to 3 seconds.

Stunning is pretty lame. I don't see the point.

Zombie Groups have been an idea since Trader gave me the name "Zombies are People, Too" for the mod. The original name was "Return to GameMode_Zombie". Not sure how easy or CPU-friendly it'd be to do, however. Zombies do spot targets that friendly zombies they can see have also spotted.

Particles do that already, pretty much.

--- Quote from: Shotgunner on February 13, 2012, 05:58:51 PM ---Maybe there could be a "Random Zombie Spawn" that would spawn a zombie depending on how frequent they are in general, for example, a Standard Zombie has a higher chance to spawn than a Jockey does.
--- End quote ---
"Director Spawn" is already in the works.

I can weaken the white noise sfx if it's annoying.

I kinda like this idea. I'll see what I can do.

YourBuddyBill:
ZAPT is back! HALLELUJAH!

Ok, I got a bunch of stuff to suggest as well as a few other things.

1. Half the reason I use Rotondo's mod instead is the zombie brick damage. Could there be a pref to turn off that little override?

2. It appears that the Spitter was half-finished, I found it's partially-completed projectile data, you might consider finishing it.

3. Could you make a tutorial for converting things from Zombiemod to ZAPT? I wanna use Hydralisks, etc. in a ZAPT game. And the zombie dogs.

4. Zombies losing some nodes, or possibly (for a less L4D and more Zombie type of thing) every now and then a zombie spawning without a head, just for a little variety. "Dead are the perfect minions, because they don't eat or sleep, they don't complain about pay, and they don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off."

5. A more 'static' and less 'director reliant' zombie spawn, because I would like to make a zombie hiding in a closet only spawn when the player opens the closet door, because otherwise it's a waste of processing power (if it spawns early) or it doesn't get anyone (if it spawns too late)

ZAPT really does have a great script, by the way.

YourBuddyBill:
Oh, one more:

6. Some sort of thing that makes Zombies avoid players, even if it's just a function on the zombie, because I want a can of Zomb-Away to buy myself time. ;D

Conan:
Could you add in an option to have ZAPT zombies always know where players were? It was the only thing that I hated was missing.

Also, can we disable zombie damage/health based on players in server and zombie count? I believe this is default and not able to turn off.
