Zombieland? What is it?
Zombieland is a server I have been working on for a few days with a friend. It is a large rainy, forested area utilizing Endless Zombies by Gravity Cat. My goal with this was to create an Endless Zombies server with a bit of exploration/adventure in the mix, to make it a bit more engaging than just plain Endless Zombies. The players spawn in an area on one side of the map, and start with only a pistol. Your immediate goal is to explore the forest and find shelter with friends, and even more crucial; find better weapons as the undead horde goes from fleeing in terror from their inevitable slaughter, to you facing unstoppable minions of hell who have never known defeat and laugh in demonic tongues at your efforts to survive. ok its not that hard, but its a little harder than other endless zombie servers
The Traders
The traders are merchants stranded in Zombieland much like you who are willing to sell you better armaments, at a price. The weaponpack I'm using is Londo by Jeprimer, but with new sounds a friend of mine made. You won't have to download the pack to hear the new sounds, you should hear them yourself on the server. The weapons are all valuable, having specific upsides and downsides to them. I intended to stylize the traders based on the weapons they're selling, so you aren't wandering shop to shop with little to no idea what you'll find in the shop. I'll list screenshots at the end of the topic.
Derelict Trader:
The Derelict trader is pretty much your starter shop in Zombieland. He sells the cheapest weapons but also least desirable weapons, but they're better than just the pistol you start with. He offers (names correlate to picture order):
Derelict Shotgun, Derelict Rifle
Colonist TraderThe Colonist trader sells weapons that are a direct upgrade from the Derelict weapons, and he sells a larger variety of weapons. He offers:
Colonist Pistol, Colonist SMG, Colonist Shotgun, Colonist Rifle, Colonist MG
Marine TraderThe Marine trader sells weapons that are sought after due to their firepower and long range capabilities. He offers:
Marine Pistol, Marine Rifle, Marine Scattergun, Marine Scout Rifle, Marine Flamethrower
Mole TraderThe Mole trader sells "tools" that are intended for use with mining, but they also work as high power AND EXPLOSIVE guns. He offers:
Mole Blaster, Mole Detonator
Alien TraderThe Alien trader sells weapons from another world, ancient technology that has special properties other weapons don't have; bouncy blaster shots! He offers:
Artifact Blaster, Artifact Bow, Artifact Ring
Stealth TraderThe Stealth trader sells top secret, highly valuable weapons using state of art technology. He offers:
Stealth Rifle, Stealth Sonicizer, Stealth Vibroblade
Screenshots
Credits to me for building, and to my friend for building and the new weapon sounds. Not sure who made the trees, they're a template from a save my friend had.
As of the time I wrote this topic, the server should be ready in the next day or two. I guess just discuss how the server looks as of thus far, and pitch any criticism/ideas my way too! I'm not sure how often I'll host yet, and if I'll need moderation. If you're interested in moderation either way, feel free to tell me here and we can talk about it.
