thanks.. I was busy experimenting what type of loading screen is the best.. and after few hours I decided to put the HQ type of loading screen... the size of it was very disappointing.. but it looks great..

I think he was talking about the terrain, everything looks to intact destroy a bit, but that's just my opinion.Good map and I would like ask when they do those maps of the month voting things?

That's what I meant. It's my domain (field of work) after all. A voting poll would be great if you consider it venger07

This is one amazing mod, as a fellow zombie map maker (My project on my signature)
I really love this.

I don't know why this thread isn't getting much attention,
But those terrains are aesthetically beautiful.

I know how hard it is to create a big city, even a small village like mine take a long time to create! Congratulations!

I wish you will complete this project, and everything will go well!

(+REP for finger lickin xD)

EDIT :

Btw, what happen to the control scheme? it only says

•yep.. I agree ..I still lack in some modern props that you see in a city

Any plans for beta-testing?

I would like to try this game ASAP

Did a quick first-try to the game.

I died after a while because I cannot find any ammo xD

Ill play more later to give you a better feedback.

Currently,

Terrains -

Environment is very well made, I have no complaints.

Gameplay -

I just wish that the sight range needs to be a bit "Further", why would anyone use 3rd person view otherwise? (I cannot see my back, thats a huge disadvantage.)

Shooting needs to give a "Feedback" to the user, sometimes I do not know whether I have shot the gun or not, probably with a gunshot sound.

The movements are a bit Jittery, especially on collision (You should check whether the frontal path its moving towards is blocked or not, if yes, DO NOT move the unit at all, and play the stand animation, this will reduce the jittery movement.

I suggest recreating the movement system entirely, the animations sometimes fail to work when you spam between commands, and remove "Cinematic mode", I cannot use my commands when the phone booth rings.

There should be a proper projectile system.

Why not add melee attacks? I see that you have the animations ready.

The rest is great, this is pretty well made, aside of the triggers.

Good job, Ill wait for the future updates.

 

[venger07]

Well.. you can press "ESC" to zoom out
There is a gun shot ... I don't know why u don't hear it xD

You can destroy Barrels and Crates just go in front of them and press the INTERACT button..


BTW, those bionic parts are for specialist.. they later become a robot.. with much more HP and firepower

Ok, i'll fix the jittery xD

Thanks for this very very fast feed back!

 

[Rheiko]

this looks awesome
i wanna try it when i have time :3

 

[BandolXD]

Interesting ! I love how you work on that Terrains !

...I updated the beta map..

 

[WaerercraftKillers]

well.... yeah

 

[neo_sluf]

You must change the name of your map to..


HARMLESS ZOMBIE OUTBREAK... YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT?.. LOOK AT THE CITY!...

Well yeah nice terrain but if you change the title of the map at the above suggested name.. your terrain will be a believable zombie map..

 

[Garodar]

U better finish this. If not,

o my gawd ..O_O need help! It can't be played in local area network because the map file is too big :/ what should i do ...?

in all honest opinion, it is advisable to not use those ;O

nobody would be able to play your map, unless they have that, what are the chances?

I prefer if you limit yourself to the file size budgets, you can use blplab to reduce texture file size without down-grading quality.

good luck!

That's the most convenient thing you could. I did the same with Chaosy's campaign.

 

[WaerercraftKillers]

wait a sec. is your map optimized and protected?

 

[venger07]

Yes... it is.. but it is still high xD it's because of the HQ loading screen and those large blps...

..I'm currently using this but it only removes 554 bytes out of 259kb...

 

[sonofjay]

Yes... it is.. but it is still high xD it's because of the HQ loading screen and those large blps...

How big is your HQ loading screen? HQ loading screen sometimes takes 1mb+ of the filesize. I suggest either remove it and switch to LQ loading screen or do something to compress it ( I took down my loading screen from 1.5mb to around 700kb and only takes 300kb when you save the map.)

Also HQ loading screen usually use 4 tga format images (assuming you're also using that) but you can also use blp but it requires a differnt LoadingScreen.mdx. I have a blp version of my tga loading screen and they only takes less than 120kb and that will be more smaller after you put it on your map and save it.

__________________________

I'm currently using this but it only removes 554 bytes out of 259kb...

Use blp lab and compress it to 50-60% that will take down almost half of the filesize but the quality is still acceptable.

__________________________

It will be a shame to see such a promising map be halted just because of the stupid filesize limit.

Also use mdx squisher if you must.

 

[Garodar]

U better watch yorself if not--something terrible might happen.

However, I took a solo test and on first look... it was AMAZING.

The enviroment and gameplay are pretty awesome. No complainments.

All I wish is that you add a little lore cinematic and a disable Fog of War because I actually died thanks to it. I walk and 3 zombies jump me out of nowhere so I think that would be a valid suggestion for your map improvement. Good luck.

Ok.. thats the best solution I can do to decrease the size... the sacrificing of HQ loading screen is a must!!

Thanks I really appreciate your feedback !! + 30% motivation xD ...I'm gonna solve my problem 1st about the size before anything else... Fog of war makes it more suspense xD I suggest this map is played more than 1 player

 

[venger07]

After researching on resolving my problem... I reduced all 200kb+ blps into low quality blps and the results are incredibly low size approximately the blps are now 130+kb ...
I decided to remove the mp3 that has 1.6mb size... and change it into undeadX sound..
I replaced the HQ loading screen into LQ....and yey the 12mb+ map is reduced down to 8mb+

I'm having problems with some models... If I reduced the quality of blp.. the model is not appearing.. :/

200kbs can be dropped to 50kbs without losing quality from my experience.

[sonofjay]

He just use BLP lab and compress it to 70-80%. Quality reduction will not be obvious from long distance but since your project is 3rd person I don't really recommend it(its blurry in close distance).

I thought it wouldn't reduce its quality? I don't know how to use blp lab.. I tried it.. Save optimize then it only reduce small bytes :/

[Edit:] HA! got the map size into 7.98mb and now it's working on local networks hurrayy! xD

It reduces quality but not really visible but compressing too much will. Maybe you're doing something wrong since we'd been using blp lab for a long time and it works like magic for us.

I'd like to experience that magic....but I don't know what's wrong with it... it's my first time I use it.. :/ can you give me more precise instructions??

 

[WaerercraftKillers]

Hmm that's just odd

 

[sonofjay]

The lower the value the lower the filesize your blp will get.
