ZPS Update Thread

[Pillz]

Server's fully operational and maps/fastDL is working. Still need rules/motd but NO MORE GLITCHY BULLSHIT. All deathruns operate normally, the biotec doors work normally and everything.

THANK YOU WHOLEGRAIN.

[Jessica Nigri]

when it gets to the map area 41 im getting alot of lag not just on the crashing plane but also in the room with the camera and with the teleporter, my pin can go from 40 to 500 on that map its crazy. can this be fixed?

[Pillz]

All I can recommend is turning your video settings all the way down, because I never get much lag on that map unless the plane crashes on a full server and everyone has like 200+ ping; but if your settings are all the way down and you still experience lag you should look into upgrading your PC.

[Pillz]

Added quite a few maps I found around the internet, cabin, and some others people have been asking for; and some just for fun. Probably going to work on taking a few off and adding others I've yet to try. Post any requests for removal/add in the map suggestions thread.

Permamute/gag works, and we won't have rank for bit longer.

Finally re-added a infection_chance 20 to the server.cfg; in case it wasn't 20, lol.

Edited advertisements and made them disabled for admins and I enabled reserved slots, only 2 for now because I doubt we really need it.

[Multigrain]

Looks hawt

[Pillz]

Shit's so AWESOME. So many things I've wanted added along with much much more! New models, new maps, and more importantly, more gameplay mechanics.

Melee does 3 times damage if striking the head, my wrench did 150 damage when i whacked a zombie

Fire is apparently contagious. If a barrel is lit on fire and a human is near it(1 meter distance) then they are set on fire. If that human is 1 meter near another human, then that other human is set on fire. It only takes like 1 second of exposure.
TL;DR The fire radius is pretty high.

Barrel blast radius is also pretty high or that could just be me.

Zombies need a bit of a buff becaues this update basically helped humans a lot.

EDIT Spelling & Grammar

The HUD is pretty bulky, your inventory slots were a lot smaller before v2.3. In this update, they removed how much ammo you actually have loaded to precisely know rather than having to rely on a visual interpretation of the ammo clip/round.

Why i say that zombies need a buff? Zombies use to be able to maneuver so much better

[Pillz]

Yeah, but I was having a hard time getting head shots on zombies, and like with the magnum, missed more than I actually hit them.

Fire was always contagious, but you had to literally be on top of it, but basically fire is semi-realistic now. I don't think the rate of how long it takes to ignite changed, but now that the radius is higher you ACTUALLY need to be careful around fire. Before this, you could literally hop through fire without igniting if you jumped right, etc. So this kind of makes sense.

The HUD is a bit bulky but it's not that bad, I don't like the resolutions of the numbers but maybe that's just cause I'm used to the old one. I'll probably get used to it but hopefully they'll edit it; just like I hope they edit vanessa.. a little.. I don't care for the visual clipsize, it was really neat but I always thought it was unrealistic.

Zombies got buffed in the last update, so this is the human/game update. Zombies were kinda OP for a while honestly.. so I'm not too upset to see the humans get a bit stronger, we'll probably get something in the next update for zombies. It's not that much worse though, I'm just sad that lunge jumping costs 3feedometer bars now.

[Doc. Mentalist S.]

And one more thing, you can totally skip whitey. As soon as a new round starts and whitey is chosen, press f1 and you're off to being a human. Sure you get bad weapons like a keyboard, ppk or less pistol ammo. But one can easily avoid starting a round as zombie.
+ Added late join with zombie and weaponry scaling.

This kinda helps support the system, where if a human dies in the first 10seconds like in a deathrun map, the system remembers them and sets them as zombie. But only applies upon death or zombie ragequitters.
+ Added system to remember players who left after joining.

[[ZPS] WEB]

+ Added client and server convars to enable sprays.

This must be enabled!!!

Oh yea how could i have missed that, that definitely needs to be implemented D:
Also web get back on ZPS!

[Pillz]

According to Wazanator, there is no Pedro.

Q_Q

[Doc. Mentalist S.]

Because we're going to have sprays available, might as well implement another rule:

No racial, Pornographic, gorey, or offensive sprays, you will be warned if caught and will be forced to not spray it again or be required to change your spray. Second time caught in the same session/map will result in a kick. If they rejoin and still persist on spraying then day ban.

Whatever's good, I'm sure you can word this better than i can and expand on it.

Actually I wouldn't mind offensive sprays as long as everyone on the server finds it comical.
