Bump

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Dont bump Within 48 hours with posts.

(700 posts!)

 

[43berries]

Didn't know, sorry.

 

[Discohydra]

Looks like a good map, "Trash talk", cant wait to hear that.
Biiiiiig gun in the screenshots, usable? I love artillery, and the range scale that you use make artillery very fun.
Anything about the player and his role?
Civilians look like an interesting role.
(This seems like its based off of Fallout 3, good game, Hopefully this will be just as good.)

ORPG? Thats not a usual game you make, Its normally zombie survival.

Zero hour was a good game.
As was Reign.
This one will be better, i can feel it.

-The artillery is used by designating a target with a laser designator and then the field artillery fires on that position.
-Your impact changes the world by what NPC's would do next and the AI would be altered too in their tactics. Of course this is all pending with practicality.

 

[Darkenneko_003]

Looking good,
I Enjoyed ROTD 1, ROTD 2, and Zero Hour, too bad ROTD 2 never lived, =P
Anyways, great job man, I can't wait to see this one.

 

[leet.firefox]

awesometastic! I love survival games and orpg's. So this is just great.

 

[43berries]

ROTD II was terrible, it was nothing special.

 

[Darkenneko_003]

ROTD II was terrible, it was nothing special.

Cuz you never finished it,
Maybe if you didn't accidentally protect the last working version of it, =P

 

[GhostG45]

Looks impressive so far. It's actually an ORIGINAL zombie game :O!

Who woulda thunk it?

Good luck with this project. This may be one of those Zombie games I'll actually play more than once.

 

[43berries]

Not sure, did you play ROTD I and zero hour? They weren't that popular...

 

[43berries]

Bump

 

[oxxo]

this looks beyond awesome. i would so love to help this project, support it in any way i can or become a part of it.

if theres testing to be done let me know!

Yeah, you can help me test it.

UPDATE
-New dynamic wound system (There are five levels of wounds, which every single time you are attacked, there is an equal amount of chance the wound will get worse.)
-New dropship system where NPC's will randomly send a gunshop/dropship to a designated area and drops off troops
-New subjective lighting (If you're close enough to an explosion, that area is lit up for you to see.)
-Removed massive GUI clutter

 

[oxxo]

regarding the wound system:

heres some ideas you might consider

you could create 5 fade filters (1 for every wound level) with some bloody splatters. now the worse the wound, the worse the bloody splatters on the screen, also obstructing sight, and you could make the screen shake (shaking strenght equivalent to wound level (sort of simulating real handicap when wounded).

is the map already fit for efficient testing?

 

[43berries]

Some what. I can't do the fade filter because of the environmental filter, but I might be able to do the shaking of the camera. The map is almost finished for full testing.

 

[43berries]

I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE BETA: Epidemic v.1 Beta - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

 

[Darkenneko_003]

Woot!
Two people gave 5/5 on it already on the map page thing,
Funny, xD Anyways GreaT job! Lots more to be done tho, keep Working on it!

 

[DuckWTF]

Something weird happen when I was playing that for some reason there was no more zombies around I was walking around trying to see what happen but couldn't find anymore maybe I did something Im not quite sure what happen, i just wanted to let you know.

 

[43berries]

Was it day?

 

[Darkenneko_003]

In The Day Time, Zombies die off.
This is time to Find resources, building barricades and get ready for the night.
With the latest version coming out nights will get progressively harder, so you will have to find MORE Supplies even tho they will be harder to find later.
Fun Eh?

 

[43berries]

 

[DuckWTF]

It happen during night but I figured out it was just my wc3 acting really weird so I had to uninstall it and install it again now it works fine so don't worry about what I said

 

[43berries]

Okay, well 1.4 is coming out. BUMP

 

[Anachron]

Argh.. Dawn of the Dead and Undead Assault like, eh?

 

[43berries]

No, not at all. I think of Epidemic as a new generation zombie survival map that is truly a survival map. Take a look at it and see!

 

[Anachron]

I can't really see the man in that picture, can you? anyway I have not enough time. I am just able to critizie the screens

 

[43berries]

The guy in the picture? You mean my avatar? That's me a year ago in HK. And I think you'll like the map.

 

[Anachron]

Ahh now I can see the mans on the ground in yur screenshots,. Not in the avatar

 

[43berries]

Oh???

 

[Anachron]

Imba post you made there.
Ok this is also not better.

So lets change it.

Feedback: Looks nice, but add a bit more scourge touch to it please.

And use more ghosty effects =D

 

[43berries]

Scourge touch? This is contemporary science fiction set in the early 2030's. O_O

 

[43berries]

I thar bump allow.

 

[Anachron]

I bump this too. (/rofl)

 

[43berries]

I bump this too. (/rofl)

Bumping is healthy.

 

[Darkenneko_003]

[Darkenneko_003]

Hmm....
So, Come on people play Epidemic! give us more ideas!
More that can be implemented into the game of Epidemic, =P

 

[43berries]

I need ideas, help out!

 

[43berries]

BUMP

So how do you guys think about a physics engine for the explosives? Like what you see in half life 2. The only problem is I would need help implementing this system.

It has About 4 of them.
2 must be completed to get the other 2.
I'll try to include some new quests but right now, after Phil has neglected all the bugs, I think I really need to fix them.

 

[Ranger21]

Didn't saw any quest

 

[Darkenneko_003]

Didn't saw any quest

How hard did you look.
They are all north of where you spawn they all have big exclamation marks right over their heads.
Sorry if I sound mean but its not that hard to miss. If they aren't there its a bug. When I release 1.60 there will be quests, if they are not already there.
Take care and play some more!

 

[43berries]

Wait, that's only in the newer 1.6 though...
