Survive endless waves of attacking zombies, and optionally repair nearby defenses to keep zombies out. Survive until you die. Zombies become stronger and faster upon completion of each round.

I like it, sounds fun but the terrain could use extreme work and the project would look like a beauty! Better find a good terrainer =P

thanks!, it will be good but plz dont expect much about the terrain, it's snowing so you cant see anything but snow

 

[Oziris]

Still, those trees are really ugly, try using some custom!

 

[GhostThruster]

Damn it! I was gonna use a helicopter intro for my map, Into The Shadow!!!
Oh well, you snooze, you lose. Good luck on the project.
Here's some suggestions:
You can change the height of your camera depending on the terrain by detecting Z Offset(needs Custom Script/JASS).
I don't like the movement system. Make it so the unit moves instantly to the position, not ordered there.
Change the name maybe, Fog Horror sounds too generic.
Please do get rid of the trees! They are too tall to be realistic, and ruins the horror effect.
And by the way, you should add a HUD for your shooter, otherwise it isn't FPS, it's Third Person.

Noted, but i preffer no custom so that file size is small

Already tried JASS for the camera but it doesnt work because the mouintain is too high, anyway who needs JASS if you can do all things in GUI?

 

[GhostThruster]

Technically speaking, Custom Script is GUI, and GUI is JASS(except when read it makes sense and is in full sentence form).

I highly recommend you use imported trees, Blizzard trees look like shit, and most custom trees don't take too much space up.. With this few imports I think you can live a little.. And a custom tree or two.

And if you're not using 'Icecrown Glacier Snow' you should be it looks much better than 'Northrend Snow'.

Use some fog in 'Options' too.. Since it's a snowy atmosphere (Same as my survival map) I recommend using a bit of white.

Those preview screenies look really good too!

 

[hawk_767]

You might want to darken the terrain up a bit to if its a survival horror game. Not saying to make it unrealistically dark, but a little tinted just for atmosphere. It would add quite a bit to the game.

Good luck with the map though, looks pretty interesting.

@xRiotZx

the thing is i cant find any good imported trees that suited with this kind of terrain except the 'snowpine' model, and the problem is i cant seem to see this model in the game but i can see it when I'm in WE

@hawk_767

darken like blight?, i can't do that since it is snowing so it should be white and ice, besides, this is not a ghost town but i may consider putting fog on the ground, thanks for your comment


More screenshots available

Making custom trees visible in-game as destructibles is hard, I think you have to disable the check mark called "Light Weight Model" it should work then. You have to check other websites for trees too like: Wc3c.

I already solved this problem, its in the 'variation' of the tree, well you can see it in the new screenshots...

all i need now is ideas for 2 more spells of the Xybot...

[Jargalhurts]

WTF is with all these horror maps appearing all of a sudden? Don;t you think it should be a bit dark, since it's a horror map?

 

[Hades17]

I have to say the logo is really nice.
But as I opened the Screenshots I got disappointed as hell.
That is far too bright for a Horror game and all those Tank's and Helicopters... wth? Call of Duty versus zombies lol, where is the emotional Sphere? The map does not soak up the player in any way, personally I think that this is not a Horror map, it's more of a Call of Duty "clone".
As some people already stated here, the terrain looks like been made in "10 minutes", try to use some more pathable and decorative objects and really get rid of those trees.

One more thing, that totally made me cry:
You have the reload spell, but then there is a passive button .

 

[mckill2009]

I am not good in terraining so I may need help to spice the terrain if you guys are interested, you may help me ...

Most likely, the theme of this game is like COD nazi-zombies and any suggestions on how to improve the game is much welcome...

about the reload icon, Ima change it in the next version...

 

[Hades17]

If I hadn't have so many projects lately, I would not be afraid to dare in helping you

But there are a few more skilled terrainers out there, or you consider reading through some tutorials, in order to improve your terraining-skills.

Btw, why is it called FPS, when the Camera is on Bird-View? Oo

 

[mckill2009]

I made this FPS before (First Person Shooter) just like nazi zombies but many suggests
that it's nood a good idea that's why I came up with this style, I cant change the
title either...

Right now I'm really not interested to learn terraining coz my favorite is coding so I
may need help from people with good terraining skills...

 

[mckill2009]

bump, map released!
