Server Overhaul

[[NotD] localhost]

Hey guys, its been due time for a overhaul. Sorry for the delay, but I've been knee deep in Physics studying. Damn summer classes

What the overhaul involves is a brand new day setup in ZombieHell.

So far, ZombieHell is the only server I am targeting for the recoding, unless you guys can give me more input for what servers need what. I'm also going to fix the knife glitch in ZombieHell since I believe I figured out the problem. I will be sure to post what updates I make soon enough.

Post in this topic for any suggestions or input you want for this update. I always keep my eyes and ears open. If there were topics that I missed with info, please post them here. **"This does not include adding maps, models, music. This is purely gameplay feature requests that are needed."**

I will update you over time how its all going.

That sounds great........try and fix the rest of the weapons glitches aswell mate....i find myself burning through weapons like a kinfe through butter

yea a major glitch i found is wen u buy a weapon it will sometimes move to the left side of the screen and its gone. it happens quite often on certain maps. i dont no if u were already planning on fixing it but just giving a heads-up

Wow, you have to be under alot of pressure/stress trying to balance all that out with overhauling and taking summer classes in physics no less. There's alot of people that wouldn't even begin to know/understand what this entails or feels like on a daily basis, instead they just wanna bitch and complain not realizing that if they could be in your shoes for a day they wouldn't complain so much

I'm just wanting to post and give you feedback as a frequent on a daily basis player on how I think you do a great job with what you have to work with l0calh0st, because I know whats thats like behind the scenes always feeling like there isn't enough hours in the day to do anything.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the opportunity and privilege to be a part of your community and servers, I appreciate all the effort that you put in with your limited time and I hope one day things will get a little less hectic for you, lol have fun with your physics studies that was one road I didn't want to go down incidentally are you studying for a computer science degree? or? anyway thanks again man talk to you later.

My brother's taking, like, six classes this summer, including Physics. He also has a night job for eight plus hours. He's tired all the time. O.o I hope you're only doing that one Physics class, man. Otherwise you're gonna end up a zombie like him. Not to mention you're always tinkering with the servers. So, like Hawkins, THANK YOU LOCALHOST. YOU DUN DID GOOD, MAN.

Now, back to the suggestions. Sometimes, when you drop an ammo or med pack, it won't work. Or you'll try and the little "You can't drop that now" message won't pop up and you have to rejoin the classes to get it to work again. That's probably not as big of a problem as the gun glitch, but it's incredibly inconvenient whenever you're getting chased by a dozen zombies that Sorrow thought would be funny to bring to the surface all at once. -Pointed stare-

Alright, here are a few minor issues that may help optimize the server if they are deemed a big enough nuisance-

1. When people die their bodies disappear very quickly, sometimes in as little as maybe 5 seconds. It makes it very difficult to revive deceased players. Also, the person doing the reviving often gets pushed into the floor or wall and is trapped after the revived respawns inside them.

2. Zombies are afraid of sniper rifles. There is always one stubborn person who refuses to lose his sniper in order to allow the zombies to attack at a substantial rate.

3. The !market menu automatically reappears every few seconds. If you try to open a radio command menu, it will quickly become written over with an automatic !market.

4. On Silent Hill map, if you turn on your flashlight you become blinded. this isnt really a problem itself but im unsure if it might indicate a specific problematic line of code that is causing some of the major issues.

these are all that I can think of now that may not have been brought to your attention. I will make sure to keep up with this topic and provide future input on anything that catches my attention
Thanks for reading

Thanks for all the hard work local!

My suggestion would be very time consuming but I think if a bunch of us (not local) pinpointed all the areas where people illegally camp then it shouldn't take too long. If we identify the spots, would it be hard to deathzone them?

Awesome to hear, if you need any help/input testing stuff just hit me up in Steam.

Oh yeah, this is a damn good suggestion right here about illegal camp spots/deathzones, looking at it from a perspective that if more deathzones were added with very reasonable time warnings like maybe for instance 10-15 sec. warning messages there can be no excuse for people saying they didn't know about them since there clearly was a 10-15 message telling them they will die.

This right here would also help admins out a little in regards to how much they have to babysit all the problem players constantly having to shuffle around to tell people to get off/get down.

I would think that would get tiring after a while having to do it constantly because they are good admins and sometimes they would like to just play too without having to deal with all the troublemakers every min.

I am perfectly willing to go around on some maps and show the spots I know of which are regularly in use, if an admin/l0cal is willing to deathzone them. Once we have them pinpointed I doubt it would take long. I know Wolf of God would help out as well.

I don't mind helping out. I wanna get my revenge on those douchebags who didn't listen when I said it was an illegal spot. >3 That market stall with the vines in Italy? Yep, three on there.

Oh, Avada, you gotta go to the end of the post to be the most recent. You're posting in Hawkin's post.

I seem a cool feature in another server - Where you were allowed to like knife throw! It was pretty cool! and you still get to keep your knife after all your knife throws are used (in that server i was in you were allowed to trow 3 knifes). would be cool to try out in the zombiee server
