A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by DawnOfTheDead 7.01 stable
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

Please write a proper description detailing gameplay elements and something more about the map.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

I don't have any official permission from the previous map developers to upload the map. s3rius hasn't been available in years here/in discord. He did give DarkSath permission to take over the map (Our discord server is gone though, so can't find the ownership transfer there sadly).
I have this conversation with Sath from a few years ago:

He never actually sent me the code sadly, and a couple of months after that he went MIA from our discord server and he no longer replies to any of our chat requests in discord or other medias. After about a year, I decided to take over the map development (it was completely broken on reforge at this point - full lobby crashes and tons of desync). I changed the map code to lua, and solved all the bugs, along with substantial map updates and improvements.

Hey. Thanks.
Please put that image under credits or somewhere in the first/opening post/map thread.
If possible to find/get the permission evidence when the first author gave it to DarkSath, if possible.

Hey, someone from our discord managed to get hold of s3rius. He's saying he lost access to his hive account. I posted a couple of screenshots from now and from back in 2021 (to prove it's not some bogus account we created just for this). Is this enough or do we need something more?

The images can't be accessed. Are they uploaded via Media? If so, set the to public.
Just need to wait for me or Remixer to review the map when we get the time.

 

[Tomotz]

Seems like I don't know how to upload images in the main post. Uploading it here instead, and linking from the main post

Quite an atmospheric modern warfare zombie infection survival map. Having missions and some story makes the gameplay even more engaging than just multiplayer.
Approved.

Not really my taste of map. The work on this map is seen. Lot of graphical changes etc. But the core of the game is quite boring when playing alone. The distant camera is quite disturbing.

well its a team game and not styled to be played alone. Camera zoom can be alternated easily between 300 - 5500, huge range to make sure u get your own favorable zoom. The core mechanics & gameplay has been consistent since the early days of beta 6 when s3rius took over development, so its really just a personal taste i guess.

Anyways, i am glad that DotD is still alive and kicking! There are a lot of QOL improvements vs the legacy beta 6 edition, with various tweaks in classes and missions. There is also finally an end game mission (2 alternatives in fact) and usage to the empty vial haha. All in all, thanks Tomotz for taking the baton from Sath and continuing to work on this piece of legacy!
