Are you using that squad system you were talking about earlier or are you keep it a rts-like gameplay affair.

There is no squad system, you only control one unit, and with that one unit, you and your teammates must traverse various obstacles and complete various missions, all while surviving the undead horde.

*Update: 3 missions are now fully playable (still requiring small tweaking)

*Bump

I think I'm going to release an alpha version of the map, that people can fool around with just until I finish the beta.

I need to get just a few more things fixed.

Bumpzzz Added a custom driving system using arrow keys and a system of managing passengers. Also added a multiboard measuring Ailment Resistance, Kills, Hits, Radiation Level, Health %, and much more new screenies should be arriving this Wednesday. On top of that I'm working on making a gameplay video and tweaking the terrain for effective driving and gameplay... Lastly I've added player scores for a competitive co-op experience. Also looking for game mode ideas, give them out!

I think it will do much, if you add a camera and movement system, so you can go into house´s and such, just set your view range low so you cant se much of what is coming at you.
I think that would make it more exciting.
This system is the best ive ever found, its multiplayer and works great.

No, there will be no entering of buildings, I used a lot of Blizzard cliffs to keep the gameplay friendly. If I can ever finish taking my screenshots you'll see what I mean.

Will you be able to see the passengers and drivers inside the vehicle?

Also. arrow key movement can be buggy/laggy in mp :/

The second part is true yes, but I'll try to get it working alright.

For the first question, no you cannot.

As for those pics and such, I was waiting for a system to get finished to start the whole revival process, it's done now, once it's functioning I'll start updating pics and everything.

NO please NO!
When I play scarry games I allways turn them off and have to relax a little, my heart can't take that.
Looks really nice, and I hope it will be that scary that I will have to turn it off, beacuse of many people love it ;P
Allthought I personaly don't like modern weapons, this ones looks nice and I wishing you best luck

Its REALLY hard to make wc3 scary.

 

[Palooo3]

Yes I know, that's why I am wishing you best luck

Wishing >me< the best of luck lol.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Lol, when he said am wishing you best of luck it was like pointing to me.
Well not to get off-topic now...

 

[RiotZ]

I don't want to start lying to you guys, but this project is on hold as of now. I haven't a lot of time to work on it, and the number of glitches that need fixing is tremendous.

I'm working with AMG on some other projects you may see coming around soon.

 

[tobyfat50]

What you are trying to do looks pretty interesting and I guess working alone just won't cut it on huge projects, the result whas that you came to the decision that you won't be able handle the it on your own. I came to that decision as well after not having enough time.
Are you still looking for a terrainer?
Are u good at coding?

Perhaps we can help each other out!

 

[RiotZ]

I have no interest in taking anyone else on, or having anyone terrain this map, I have found myself best suited for all situations, including coding.

 

[tobyfat50]

Sure could use a coder by now!

 

[RiotZ]

I'm thinking about rebooting this project completely basically a second redux, maybe the way I actually planned it out in the first place.

I think I'll keep all of the current weapons, and some of the enemies, maybe tweak the story, and make this more of an experience than it is an arcade shooter, which is how I feel about it right now. I just need some models!!!
I'm thinking of the new story line right now, and if I did this, I would release the old version of Black Winter, which isn't even playable right now, for all of you who have followed this to see, and I would try to finish this project sooner. I'm very excited about this, I think it's a good idea, feedback is definitely welcomed.

What I'm thinking for the story now, is a slow, corridor shooter, maybe with a custom camera of some sort, where the zombies move very slowly but try to swarm as much as possible, and your objective is to find a way out of the facility before you get overwhelmed, I'm still trying to figure out how to make it multiplayable, but I definitely know how to keep it fun every time with random setups.

 

[tobyfat50]

Your map got me interested. When will you make the next update? Also are you going to use the light technique? If so then recheck on the bottom comment ----> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorial-submission-283/how-add-extra-light-your-map-toby-light-engine-205683/

 

[Gausslander]

Don't advertise that wherever you go... all you did was change a single property in model editor, it's not a system.

 

[tobyfat50]

I wasn't advertising, it was a message to xRiotZx and like I sayd many times on other posts (I'm not really saying it's actually a "Engine")" just had to give technique a name that`s all.
