Author Topic: Cadaverous Automaton Laboratories needs you! [Statis in topic]  (Read 3382 times)



Hello particapant. You have shown an intrest in the creation of a new testing facility for us. If you are truly intrested, please read the entire posting so that all questions might be answered.

Who we are: We, the Cadaverous Automation Laboratories, test the performance of humans against zombies in order to gather data so that the human race may be best prepared against the everpresent danger of an uprising. That is, for a small fee, of course.

What we need: A testing facility to pit humans against the ever-changing enviroment while interacting with zombies.

How you can help: We need you to design a 64 by 64 area that will push our test workers to their limits. An example area is below.

Player-type: Modified Top down Player.(Unable to jump)

Weapon: M4A1

Building area regulations: We don't mean to surpress your creativity, but we must enforce a few guidelines to keep this testing facility accurate.
1. This testing facility is built on a grid. Please line up your area with the rest of the areas on the map.
2. Each area is to have 4 doors or spaces of where doors should be. They are to be centered (Approximatly 28-30 studs on each side of the door) on the North, South, East and West sides of the area.
3. Doors are to swing inwards towards your area, not towards someone elses. Example below.

4. There is to be only one door per doorspace. An example of what is right and wrong is displayed below.


5. Do not spam bricks.
6. All areas are to have a minimum of 4 zombie spawns and a maximum of 6.
7. All areas are to have a player spawn.
8. Do not have multiple stories (although raised areas are fine) or a roof.
9. Do not add any weapon/tool/item spawns to your area. All nessisary equipment will be provided during the test.

Now, as for what you can do, the possiblities are endless. Use any theme you want: Cowboy, Pirate, Ranch, City, whatever. We are trying to test all possible enviroments.

All areas are subject to demolition at any time. This could be partial or full. Be careful when building and follow all rules.

A finished product would look something like this, only much bigger:


You may own multiple areas (No more than 3 please) but you cannot merge them into one big room. They must each be individual rooms.

A final note: We are still determining the size of the facility, so building might end abruptly. Be sure to add you're area quickly!

You will find our testing facility at Thorax's Zombieland!

Thank you for your intrest.
- Thorax, President of CAL.

Edit: I've had to add password due to friends joining, spamming and stealing the build. Once you've read the above topic, join my server (If it's online) and the password is "alkaline".

interesting i like it


cool.

How many bricks are there?

Thanks for the possitive replies. A community project like this has been something I've been wanting to do for a while now.

cool.

I've changed it up since I took the pictures. I deleted the Blue and Black floor rooms and added to the Brown and Tan floor rooms. Mr. Wheehaw created a room to the right of the Tan one. Last time I checked, just my two rooms was about 250 when I loaded them. I added to them which probably brought them up to 300, and Mr. Wheehaw's probably brings the total to 450. Unfortuatly, Mr. Wheehaw was unable to finish because my connection was screwed up, but luckily, I managed to save. I'll get my server back up tonight around 5:00 PM EST.

Looks awesome, but shouldn't it be closed off to the outside map?

And shouldn't there be a rule for what zombies you put? So you can't put six tank zombies in that one area?

I'm going to close it off once there are enough areas. Right now, I'm think a max of 50 areas, but we'll see.

Crap. I forgot to mention that the only zombies will be the slow zombies. All others go too fast for the Top Down player.

is CAL a clan or do you mean that you are the prez of CAL university

I thought the zombies only went for Survivors...

It's a clan I had in RTB. I think because the new forums came out, it was deleted. A few people (Including Pandan) saw it.

You can set the topdown player to a survivor.

Bring it up, this sounds fun :D

I'll head over and build one when it's up :D

I don't know, the idea is cool but it really doesn't seem like it would be that fun to play on.

Ooh, just realized something: isn't it possible for zombies to go from one room to another, through the doors?

So you could lure all of the zombies to one room and leave them there?

Hmm....That sounds quite possible. I also learnt that Zombies could operate doors, the hard way. I created a single Anti-Zombie room, where I could kill zombies from safely. I made a Hatch Door on top, and thought they wouldnt get in. Soon enough, one jumps on top, and well.... That room was cramped with one scared Blockhead and a Zombie Hunter :S

On-Topic; Also, sorry to forget, but this looks really fun. I can't wait to see a finished product. I'd love to come on soon and make me a room :D
