Left 4 Block seems to be broken as of Blockland v10 (and hasn't been fixed or updated since) and some features of it do not work right. Specifically, some death messages and the "downed" feature do not work which might be useful in a survival server.

Left 4 Block works fine, Space Guy just says that parts need fixing / updating... to which I agree.

Well even if you can get the zombies to work, hosting a server means you have to go through this big port forwarding process. After that, its nothing. But if and when you get this all done, be sure to not just make a huge square of 50 zombies, because they do caus alot of lag, so use them carefully. 8 zombie spawns is about enough.

If enabled, 'Downed' will cause problems where dead clones of players are left behind and cannot be removed except via the mission editor/console scripts and won't actually have the 'downed' effect.

Zombie death messages do not show up in chat, although they used to. This should be fixed.

I can host for you. My opinion is that my server is EPIC WIN!

What messages.

The ones that come with the game mode and are scripted into it, but no longer function.

Zombie Normal Rotondo

Space Guy

Zombie Boomer Badspot

Space Guy

They occurred when a zombie killed a player. (Either by normal running into you or Boomer explosions)

The Left 4 Block mod needs a huge update to it, I've never seen Boomers explode or those kill icons before.

They worked in v9 and then stopped working as the v10 update came out. It's probably fixable, though.
