Anyone can. If he's not jordon the multiaccounter.

Maybe little offtopic, but he is above me now.
Just be careful to new users that seems know this map for a long time.

Oh cool, great picture! Oh, and I just came up with one good question: Electronics, will we be able to scavange those for parts to make something more useful? Or at least using a turned on TV as attraction for zombies...

yeah and put some wicked rising picture on the turned on tv model, it's kinda funny
zombies watching other zombies in a tv

-W3SK3R- · Mar 24, 2011

TV's will view random pictures, but haven't made a tv yet, so haven't decided what should be on. Could even be a credit list xD

DEMIGOD123 said:

I don't think so, as most lack essential animations which make them un-approvable. But you are welcome to ask me if you can have some of them or get an unprotected version of the map without triggers when it is released

-W3SK3R- · Mar 25, 2011

Alright thanks man i might gonna find some useflnuss of the models.

What about TVs having a BSOD? You know, blue death screen...

Well, isn't snowcrash more likely on a TV? :/ don't honestly know though xD

Tleno · Mar 28, 2011

Yes, snow. The snow thing. still BSOD would be funny, wouldn't it?

ApocalypseNow · Mar 28, 2011

All of these are cosmetic things, realy. Should probably get down to more system discussion/ideas/errata whilst Silent finishes the terrain. Then we can implement said systems.

Tozza · Mar 28, 2011

This sounds epic, and im going to follow this

.

If needed i can beta test.

TheKurt009 · Mar 30, 2011

hey! what about a hypnotizing picture on the tv model?
but then again, the picture was supposed to be still...(rips off idea on a paper and eats.)
hmmm, i can't wait for this map.
what's the map size anyway? considering it's file size is 8mb

You know, I think now we really should, as already mentioned, prioritize the systems and other tasks that should be completed... you know, I think the whole skill/character's needs system should be complete first...

good idea

AL0NE · Mar 31, 2011

May i try to help making the project's sig?

The_Silent · Apr 1, 2011

Well people, I'm sorry to announce that I'll be gone on vacation for the next week and therefore can debate or continue working on the map in the mean time. You're all welcome to discuss the map in my absence, and come with ideas, as I will do my best to read it all when I return.

Have a good week

AL0NE · Apr 1, 2011

Lately i've been looking at the map development section and i notice some maps that just don't get the attention that they suppose to have. So for starters, i would like to help out this project by making a project for ya. And no, this is not done for rep. i just want to help out the maps that i think they have plenty of potentials.

so here it is.

aider · Apr 1, 2011

This looks cool, with the custom buildings and everything. Subscribing

Tleno · Apr 1, 2011

Oh my, that's a one awesome signature... hey, maybe when Silent will be back, you could make loading screen or something like that too?

-W3SK3R- · Apr 1, 2011

AL0NE that is epic signature good job man!

Wow.. truly amazing

when is silence coming back?

Tleno · Apr 5, 2011

I think he said something about weeks or two... no worries he'll be back soon...

The_Silent · Apr 10, 2011

I'm back now, returned late last night.

The signature looks amazing, although the hand looks kinda strange

although, that may just be me xD

Plan to return to work in some days and finish Kurts house, when I've dealt with the immediate pile of unfinished homework that have awaited me.

Tleno · Apr 10, 2011

So, do you approve the signature, Silent?

Symon · Apr 10, 2011

The_Silent said:

Nope, it's not just you. The hand realy look's little bit... hm... just not cool...

The_Silent · Apr 11, 2011

tleno said:

I follow the peoples opinion

so yes

Tleno · Apr 11, 2011

And will you request a similar loading screen too? Oh, you could actually use some kind of 2D artist, I mean you might require quite a lot of icons and other stuff...

Tozza · Apr 11, 2011

When is a beta coming out for testing?

Tleno · Apr 11, 2011

Oh there's still lots of work to be done... it's too early to talk even about a playable alpha.

Secondary, I've my self can do that until beta. Then it'll get a higher priority, but now it dosen't seem so important.

still looking forward to this: EVERY SINGLE DAY I VISIT THE HIVE

Haha, glad to hear

Well is having problems rotating a door, everything else coming nicely along with your house

and have added green laser

Tleno · Apr 24, 2011

You mean green neon light?
Oh and may I ask what probablems are you having exactly?

The_Silent · Apr 25, 2011

tleno said:

yeah, kurt asked if he could have one

and the problem is, that all doors is buildings (combining pathing posibillities with abillities), this however mean I need to import every door 4 times, once for every direction. Each time placed exactly the right place in the model editor, so they match up with the wall in the game. This is proving rather difficult you see. Not saying, I have to reanimate the door each time I rotate it in the editor too. Although that doesn't take more than a few minutes.

Tleno · Apr 25, 2011

maybe you could find an easier way? Like... well the wall with a "window" for a door could be one model, door with open and close animations is another. So you spawn the wall with place for a door as a doodad, and the door is a separate unit. What do you think about that?

The_Silent · Apr 25, 2011

Well, took a forth look on the door and managed to get it woorking. So yeah

Well the house still need some furniture (and a bathroom), but is almost finished. Has also finished the road and the swamp, the bunker still need some furniture too, but I think i'll add that along the way.

Currently, each peice of wall is 2 destructable, 1 for the outside and one for the inside, this is made so each house can have different tapestry on the outside and the the inside. Windows and doors are buildings, which allows me to add "lock" and "hardness" abillities. The door building is actually just the wall with the door frame, with each door added as a attachment through triggers or abillities. Again allowing each seperate house to have different doors. This is all to add as much as possible diversity, as in real life.

Edit:
This so finished it'll get for now. How it is somewhat like you've imagined it in your head.

And a scrieny of the road:

Tleno · Apr 26, 2011

Well, tried to do something clean and manageable.

Railto · Apr 28, 2011

i like kurt´s house. you did a good work silent keep it up

and a question are the cars shoot-able or something like that :/? i would want to blow em up

indomitable1319 · Apr 28, 2011

This map looks awesome. Nice concepts.
And also, nice doodad work! I'll be following this.

I dont think that you can destroy the cars, cause they exist to say 'Here is the end of the world, cant go there!'. Or mabye you can blow them up but they still block your way.

Tleno · Apr 28, 2011

All the abandoned cars, I suppose, will be just simple doodads, so I doubt they'll be demolisable...

They are demolish-able, you'll still not be able to leave the map. But they are, non the less objects that can be destroyed, scavenged for parts. And maybe later even be hotwired and used for transportation and zombie ramming. These particular cars however is too damaged for that sort of fun.

Tleno · Apr 28, 2011

Yea, obviously... but scavanging some parts from them and using them to repair a less damaged one could work great.
wait... since all the resources such as parts from cars will be expandable, will the zombies be expandable, too?

Explain expandable, I don't follow you? You men scavenge-able?

ApocalypseNow · Apr 29, 2011

I return!

Alright, so, during the mass panic in which everyone was going to opposite way from the zombie horde, they generated these pileups. The zombies caught up, havoc ensured. So, I propose adding cars with zombies still inside that can (depending on the zed) attack you if you are close enough by smashing the window (even grabbing and biting). Stronger zeds can just smash the door off and smarter zeds can open it. But yes. Basically these are the people that were already bitten and turned in their cars whilst in the mass panic pileup. It'd also makes hotwiring cars, salvaging parts, etc a tad harder.

Another system that must be implemented is the Chain Swarm.

Zombie Wiki said:
A Chain Swarm is when a zombie sights a potential target, and lets out a moan. This is then picked up by another zombie (typically close by, but range may vary due to environmental conditions ex. Wind factor). This zombie then lets out its own moan, which is in turn picked up by another zombie. Chain Swarms typically draw all zombies able to hear and answer the call within a given area. This can accumulate to bring dozens, hundreds, thousands, and even millions of zombies slouching towards a single point, culminating in "mega-swarms", mostly in the American Mid-West and mainland Asia.

During the Battle of Yonkers, a Chain Swarm brought all of infected New York City upon the forces set up at Yonkers, ultimately crushing the ill-equipped and ill-prepared forces.

The Battle of Hope was a planned Chain Swarm, intending to bring in 'Zack' from far inland.

Chain Swarms can travel from many miles away, as long as there's another zombie to continue the message. This appears to be the zombies only known form of communication.
