They Are Zombies!

[Tleno]

It would be intresting that after the strategic point gets destroyed/times out, it would also buff the units that were close to in before it disappeared...

 

[Miss_Foxy]

What about a function to remove it?

 

[NodiX]

i plan to create 3 strategic points

• Damage (will slow down enemies and amplify damage)
• Support (Focus point will regenerates faster)
• Reload (heal more quickly)

The strategic points will have small AoE (about 300) and expires for a short of time. And i decided to added focus point (replace), that affect accuracy, movementspeed, grenade range and speed, health kit regen time, etc.

i think aura better than temporary buff, since player can place themselves to right location and leader can lead the team to survive longer

also i need to ask you about these gameplay balance:

• I plan to add maximum level of 20, but had no idea the method of leveling up
• Have you an idea to balance the game, likes other types of zombies?
• Also there is a bug where bullets looks weird, had no idea about this

 

[Tleno]

Well you just set the max level from 10 to 20 in game constants, no need to change anything else but you might find some way to balance the zombies better at late-game.

Oh my zombie idea: Spitter: It spits some disgusting piquid on the area next to player heroes, silencing them. This will be real dangerous with pair with other zombie that needs special abilities to get killed.

 

[NodiX]

i mean leveling up method, likes each 3 minutes increases level by 1. damn my english so bad.

and spitter, i like it, and i was think one type zombies;
baneling, same as baneling in starcraft, exploade when killed

2 special zombies was gathered, and still need more

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Will there be any for movement speed?

 

[Tleno]

Baneling should get a name changed. Maybe to kaboomer, an upgraded baneling from Left2Die mod by Blizzard?

 

[NodiX]

Will there be any for movement speed?

what movement speed do you mean? i'm confused

Baneling should get a name changed. Maybe to kaboomer, an upgraded baneling from Left2Die mod by Blizzard?

kaboomer is not bad, they should be easy to killed, mass when spawn and should only can be killed using grenade.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

A bonus for it

 

[NodiX]

from what?

 

[Tleno]

Well Kaboomers don't sounds so inpenetrateable you know...

 

[NodiX]

excuse me, what is inpenetrateable?
sorry for my bad english

 

[Miss_Foxy]

It means you can't well... Enter something. (Penetrate = Go into, thus Impenetrable = Unpenetrateable, which isn't actually a word)

 

[Tleno]

Unpenetrateable is actually a word. It's something you cannot penetrate with anything, so you can't like make swiss cheese out of it with your chaingun.

I downloaded all maps, somehow I like collecting maps with different versions.. err.. going to test it tomorrow.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Hmm... What's kind of units will there be?

 

[NodiX]

3 tiers zombies
-boss
-special zombies (likes normal zombies, but have some special abilities)
-normal zombies

and i'll remove the bandits, don't have any idea for them

I downloaded all maps, somehow I like collecting maps with different versions.. err.. going to test it tomorrow.

and then, feedback please...

 

[Tleno]

Well first of all bandits should be able to carry and use weapons just like players, basic ones will have pistols and shotguns, while later ones will have assault rifles. They can also throw molotovs which will set area on fire and throw grenades (Tough rarely). They have average movement speed and kinda vulnerable (but ranged) and they can Prone or crawl when attacked. At late game they might also get vehicles like jeeps with machineguns.

Jeeps. Machineguns. GG.
Also, i would like it if u imported some really "horror-style" music into the map, that'd be awesome for making the atmosphere eerier

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Or some nice lightings.

 

[NodiX]

okay, horror musics and some light improved, but where do i get them?

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Get what?

 

[Tleno]

Lights? Well lights are hard to do, since WC3 engine got some bug that it can't stand lots lights. But I heard you can like set darkness/brightness and lighting of day and night, you should ask Rao Dao Zao about that...
And no music, it takes too much space.

 

[NodiX]

@Miss Foxy; lights and musics of course

@tleno; okay i will

 

[NodiX]

gonna releases 1.02 alpha 4 soon, improves shot system and rewrote the grenades...

 

[Tleno]

Great news. Will the height changing not effect them any more? Then you could immprove the terrain.

 

[NodiX]

I use projectile system by Berb, and about the terrain, still searching fit decorations

 

[NodiX]

*update*

may cause desync, but i will correct it soon

fixed

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Good job, now it'll run smoothly without a server split thingy

 

[NodiX]
